When people take property and/or assets that do not belong to them through stealing, deception or depriving another, Texas law enforcement may charge them with theft. Also referred to as larceny, theft does not always involve directly taking property or assets. It can include the indirect transfer of property or stealing of information.
Some may not realize that there are several different types of activities defined as theft. If convicted, one may face hefty fines and possible jail time. These charges can be daunting, and it may help to become informed about the types of theft, as well as potential penalties.
What are the types of theft?
According to Texas state statutes, theft charges may include the following:
- Writing bad checks
- Shoplifting
- Robbery or aggravated robbery
- Extortion
- Burglary
- Embezzlement
Theft also includes sharing trade secrets, or exchanging confidential information with competing companies. Extortion, another type of theft, involves threatening another party that a negative action will occur unless he or she transfers money and/or property to someone else's account.
It does not end there. Those who purchase stolen property may face charges as well.
What are potential penalties?
Penalties differ depending on the total value of the property taken, as well as the circumstances surrounding the situation. For example, if the items were less than $50, the state may charge you with a Class C misdemeanor. If, however, the total amount taken was more than $200,000, one could face a first-degree felony, which comes with harsher penalties.
When people know the hazards and potential outcomes of theft, they may be able to minimize the consequences they may face.

Although Jim Edmonds is in the twilight of his career, he showed again on Saturday that he is capable of roughing up his favorite plaything, the Houston Astros. Before the forgettable blow out had blown up, Edmonds hit a HR into the Crawford Boxes. At age 40, Edmonds went 2 for 4 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI. This raises the question, "is Jim Edmonds the biggest Astros-killer of our times?" To make that question easier, I'll confine this to position players, since a review of pitchers probably would include the likes of Zambrano, Glavine, and Maddux.
Edmonds is a career .944 OPS hitter against the Astros. That, in itself, isn't overwhelming. Sure, it's 40 points higher than his overall career OPS. But, in terms of teams with a comparable sample size of at bats, he may be more of a Pirates' killer, with a career 1.060 OPS versus Pittsburgh. Edmonds has hit the 3d most HRs (31) against the Astros, and he only hit 1 more HR each against the Reds and Cubs, which have more HR-friendly ballparks. The Astros have been the leading target for his doubles (28) too. Edmonds has more RBIs (87) against the Astros than any other team. Now we are getting somewhere---RBI may be a sabermetrically flawed statistic, but I think it tells us something we remember, Edmonds seemed to get hits against the Astros when they hurt the most.
I think the "dagger in the heart" timing of Edmonds' work against the Astros is one reason that Astros' fans frequently mention him as an Astros-killer. Edmonds highlight catches in CF are not reflected in his offensive stats. It always seemed that Edmonds made great defensive pays to prevent the Astros from getting a key double, triple, or HR. Game 7 of the 2004 NLCS seemed to cement this perception of Edmonds. With a big scoring threat which could have allowed the Astros to take over the game and proceed to their first World Series, Edmonds made a diving catch of Brad Ausmus' bid for a huge double. That final game capped a 2004 NLCS in which Edmonds hit 2 HRs, posted a .982 OPS and drove in 7 runs. Apparently having expended himself against the Astros, Edmonds posted a .192 OPS against Boston in the subsequent World Series.
Aramis Ramirez is frequently mentioned as an all time Astros-killer. This reputation rests mostly on the fact that he has hit more HRs (36) against the Astros than any other team. But, surprisingly, Ramirez's career OPS (.806) versus the good guys is lower than you would expect, and lower than his career OPS. Ramirez had gained an Astros-killer reputation with the Pirates, and it irritated Astros' fans that he was traded for spare change to the Cubs at mid-season 2003, allowing the Cubs to squeeze past the Astros for a playoff slot. Ramirez doesn't measure up to Edmonds as an Astros-killer in part because the Astros and Cubs have never met in playoff games.
Many Astros' fans view Albert Pujols as the biggest Astros-killer. No doubt the HR heard round the world--the blast which put Brad Lidge into that odd squatting position--plays a role in that perception. However, the media sometimes forget that the HR didn't win that 2005 NLCS series for the Cardinals. It simply allowed an even more satisfying series win for the Astros to close out old Busch stadium. Without a doubt, Pujols has great raw offensive numbers against the Astros-- but that reflects the fact that he is a great future Hall of Fame player. The Astros rank 19th in career OPS posted by Pujols against individual teams. Pujols certainly has hit a bunch of HRs (40) against the Astros (4th most versus any team), but he is, after all, a three time MVP in the NL. Some Astros fans will be surprised to know that the Astros have been relatively effective at holding Pujols in check (if we can use a term like that in talking about Pujols)--- his .994 OPS is below his 1.049 career OPS.
The Braves have been a leading playoff nemesis against the Astros, going back to the 90's. And Chipper Jones' career is right up there as an Astros-killer. For teams with over 100 games against, Chipper Jones has posted his 5th highest OPS .(949) against the Astros, which is slightly above his career overall OPS (.942). He had a big game in the 1997 playoffs against the Astros (1.458 OPS). But he doesn't share the same kind of defensive plays against the Astros that we saw from Edmonds.
With a 66 WAR career, an interesting case can be made for Jim Edmonds as a Hall of Famer. I don't have any trouble labeling Edmonds as the leading Astros-killer of recent years. In his radio interview on the Astros' broadcast Saturday, Edmonds admitted that he always wanted to have Minute Maid Park as a home field at some point in his career, but he said that this series will likely be his last games played at Minute Maid.
Who do you think is the biggest Astros-killer?

The 200-strong Urban Eat range is now divided into four sub-brands; Core, Deli, Roots and Street. Urban Eat Core contains classic flavours, lighter and premium options, as well as a 'Simply' value range.
Rolling out with a teal design in a nod to Fortnum and Mason's food range, Deli is primarily aimed at coffee shops and contains product such as Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Bagels, as well as a range of hot boxes.
Urban Eat Street has been developed "to take street food to the mass market" and include products like Bacon Naan, Vegan Bean Burrito and Mozzarella & Tomato topped Flatbread. Finally, Roots contains the brand's vegan & vegetarian sandwiches and wraps.
Wayne Greensmith, head of category marketing at Adelie Foods, said the range would help retailers increase consumer perceptions of food to go in convenience stores.
"Currently the perception of food to go bought from independent convenience stores is that it's a bit grim. There are many stores whose customers do not even know they stock sandwiches, so we're launching new PoS to shout about the range," he said.
The brand has also moved to a four-day shelf life across 95% of its range. Retailers can order direct from Adelie Foods and receive delivery within two days.
The relaunched range will be promoted with print and digital advertising, as well as sampling activity. betterRetailing has requested that Adelie Foods provides convenience planograms and a list of bestsellers for publication.

You see, written words are dead. You can't have a conversation with words written in stone or a book.
Sure, you can have a text message conversation, but the words written will be there lifeless for years to come. You can scroll through your text message history and you might reminisce or think about the emotions you had. At the time of writing, the conversation was alive. But now, that conversation is like the words written, dead.
In this passage, I will not discuss dead languages (ones that are lost in time) or the death of language (which I term Linguicide).
Instead I am going to discuss the idea of death in language. The intrinsic death that is in the stale, breathless, written word.
If you really think about it, all the words you have spoken throughout your life are your first and last words. Be very mindful and considerate of what you say. You can't take back what you've said. You also can no longer say what you didn't say in those moments of silence when you should've spoken up. Any of these thoughts can haunt you. Regrets and such, but I digress.
We will discuss the book of the dead, I don't mean to refer to the contemporary understanding of the necronomicon. That, necronicom, is essentially a wikipedia of death and other occult things I care not to go in great lengths about.
Rather, I'm discussing the Book of the dead. The book of the dead is really the book of those who are dead. It's the stories and missions of those that have died before us.
The written word is not a moving piece. Perhaps in a different medium, a more living one, can the work continue and evolve.
"For the plan grows under the author's hand; new thoughts occur to him in the act of writing; he has not worked out the argument to the end before he begins."-Plato
And Upon finishing your work, the work is obsolete for it no longer adapts or evolves. It becomes dead, as the language of the written, dead. A book of dead, a lifeless piece that does not edit or change itself.
Plato was a prized student of Socrates, and Socrates had an interesting take.
The Greek philosopher, Socrates, didn't like the written word or writing things down. Socrates believed that the written word was a dead language. Not in the sense of dead as forgotten, but dead as a not lively one. For instance, something written wouldn't be able to defend itself in a debate or adapt to changes. A downside for things written in 'stone'.
You see, Socrates said that the written word is dead. Thus written stories, anthologies, anecdotes, and allegories are in a form from the dead.
That means the holiest of holy scriptures and books, whether it be the bible or vedic texts, would also be a book of the dead.
Socrates believed in his vision of the written word being dead, that he didn't write himself! Luckily Socrates' students, notably Plato, wrote the accounts of Socrates. Without the students, we may never have known all of the great dialogs and dialectical discussions performed by Socrates.
Socrates and his work would have been mentioned and most likely forgotten had they not been written. Ironically enough, all the wisdom from Socrates, including the depicted downfall of wisdom through writing and written systems, has been survived by being written.
That means Socrates Trash Talk of written words was captured by written words. Poetic? maybe. Funny? yes.
Oh yea, Socrates also said that writing made you dumber because your mind wouldn't have to remember things written and saved. He argued that you would lose memory for not storing information in your mind.
I mean, he's not wrong. We get complacent with things that we think are safe, and writing things down does feel safer knowing something is recorded. So then we sort of forget these things, because we remember where it is written rather than what is written.
I personally would argue that the written work becomes an extension of yourself. Something that you can examine, cross-examine, restructure, and reflect over and over again. I guess that explains partly why I'm writing this.
It is to note that the existence of a book with written words is a living existence. Some stories live on vicariously through those that tell their tales. Oral tradition would pass down these stories, but the oral stories can only answer so much.
What I mean is,
History is a living thing.
Paper is dead.
Words are a living things.
Written words are dead.
Book of the Dead
You read words, which requires you to think of the words, which means that this linear path of thinking is the journey of another being.
What I'm saying is that you read words, word by word, line by line, and that thoughts occur in a similar manner. So then when you read, you actually think in the way that something is written. You take on this role and story of what is written.
Another person's path. Their way of thinking in a sense. Their ideas put down onto the tip of a pen. This is, of course, referring to people's essays and journals, where they write in their perspective.
The book of the dead, is then, not a dreaded unholy scripture that causes madness and depravity. The book of the dead is rather, the teachings and path of a person. A person who is an 'other'. Thus the book of the dead is a general term. Its a book of another. Someone else's path, someone else's story. Their book, written as a testament of their accomplishments and wishes.
People want you to avoid the book of the dead because they don't want you to blindly follow or idolize a path that is not for you. Its a path that is, quite simply, not yours. Just as you read these words to think these thoughts, you will have a different path than me, the author.
Relax and write your own story. You're already doing it and I'll explain how in the end.
People who use the book of the dead
The book of the dead isn't an evil thing, it's not immoral. It has lessons and teachings from someone who lived a life different from ours. Something that can teach us well beyond our future.
People throughout the whole of philosophy and science use the book of the dead. We build on conversations and build up our understandings with a dialogue. This is referred to as a dialectic of sorts.
When Thomas Aquinas wrote about the Ancient Greeks, he wasn't talking to Socrates in a direct manner. He was talking to and about the work of Socrates. because, well, Socrates is dead and couldn't have a conversation back. So these people would piggyback off of this conversation and thoughts.
Philosophers and theologians alike, they have a conversation with other dead people (as morbid and macabre as that sounds). This conversation is called a dialectic. We see plenty of people write their work influenced by the dead, and they try to bring a compelling argument; and then someone else will work off of their new argument. They base off of it and continue the work or propose counter arguments.
When Thomas Hobbes wrote philosophical works, he referenced those before him.
When René Descartes wrote his work, he referenced those before him.
When INSERT PHILOSOPHER HERE, he/she referenced those before him/her.
If you really think about it, the whole work of philosophical essays are a bunch of shit-posters posting their books and works on a very old forum of dead people. That would make the burning of the library of Alexandria something like a server wipe, metaphorically speaking of course.
We stand on the shoulders of giants, and even now I'm referencing their work. Their story. So I am, in a way, using the book of the dead as a reference.
In Art and culture, people make cameo's and build off of other people's works. The art work that we put out into a world reflects the future of art to come.
"what happens when a new work of art is created is something that happens simultaneously to all the work of art which preceded it. The past should be altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past"-Thomas Stearns Eliot, Famed British Poet
Many times we dictate our actions and laws based on the precedence of the laws before us. In America, we have exalted our founding fathers with a very powerful sacred scripture, the constitution. For good reason we work and operate out of the constitution and dictate laws from it.
We respect the words written, and the Supreme Court uses the Constitution to help interpret and reinterpret future laws.
But like any written word, the constitution is dead. It has not been revised to be written in a manner that accounts for things like the internet, social media, synthetic drugs, drone warfare, foreign intervention, etc.
The preamble for the constitution, is a very important piece that tries to convey the message of the living. Even through dead words.
The Constitution of the United States is quite the read, and many other nations respect it. For instance, the Philippines has taken and borrowed many parts from the constitution.
The amendment system turns the constitution into a semi-living document, but it is rather slow and dead in comparison to the ever changing world around. An Anchor of religare, if you will.
See no death, the Taboo
There are cultures out there that do not address death as an end, nor do they dig up who the people of the past were. To talk story of those that are gone is taboo. That is their book of the dead, the story of the dead. Their story, her story, his story, history.
Thus the taboo is to talk or reference the book of the dead. To talk about someone's past instead of their future.
There are some Tribal cultures that don't discuss the dead. I'm not sure if I'm accurate in saying this, but some native American Cultures don't view death in the same western construct sense.
Cultures that believe in rebirth or reincarnation don't celebrate death as a person being gone. They celebrate the memory of who they were and they also look into the future of who they will be. Because death is not the end.
These cultures don't have the western Atheistic idea of death and a return to the void or nothingness. Instead these beliefs imagine a continuation of life. They depict the act of 'death' as a transformation instead. So that people change from their corporeal form to another form.
What does this mean?
So the book of the dead exists and old work is written with dead words. So what? Well, the take away is knowing this and utilizing this piece of information. We see this time and time again, a reoccurring theme and pattern.
"Followers fail. They readily adopt another's beliefs and cease to think for themselves. Never follow the words of others blindly, or you will take on another person's reality. You will only hinder your progress by seeking fool's gold. Use your own common sense."-Sydney Banks
But also don't follow that advice blindly. Ask if followers always fail? Do followers succeed? Should we never follow words blindly? Maybe we should if we're ignorant to thinking it out fully. Laws should be adhered to and rejected on the same premise of ignorance. Or should they?
The important part of the book of the dead is how to properly integrate it.
We see some cultures refute and make it taboo, avoiding it entirely.
Others devote their life for dead words, and they devote their entire lives to not living a new experience, just repeating dead mistakes and not evolving.
The solution, is something in-between. To live with a golden mean of using the book of death, but not succumbing to it.
How to live
Having this knowledge of death in writing, and death in books. How then do we pragmatically apply this tidbit of information? Well, it's rather simple;
Your time is limited.
Don't waste it all living someone else's life.
Nor trying to realize someone else's Dream.
There is a saying:
you should carry two books. One that you are reading and one that you are writing.
A book of life that you are writing.
A book of death that you are reading.
We can take this saying further, to say that we carry a book of the dead to read, and a book of life that we write. Our story, journey, and experience is something we can pass on.
We can mean this as actual literal books, one that you read from and one that you write in. Or we can take a step back and make it abstract. Maybe you love movies, always constantly loving to watch movies, why not make one? Maybe we constantly play video games, why not make one?
The point is to not defend the dead to an exalted state of unquestionable authority. The works of the dead, that is. Let the dead defend themselves, and just make sure people are respectful to the dead in their offense or inquiries.
Don't treat a book as perfection, don't treat a work as perfection, that is not your book, that is not your work. You have to move on and create something anew from something old.
We can take another step back even further.
Each moment you live can be described in words, and each day can be a page. Your life is broken into chapters and volumes.
You might come from a long line of tradesmen, bankers, doctors, lawyers, or whatever. The legacy is something they imprint and pass the mantle of a family name to you. However, you have to live your own story. Not the story they've written for you. They being, whom ever.
Not a dead book of the past.
No, forge your future, live in the now.
We work to create something that is most times lifeless and dull. When we write, our words are dead but they have this ghost of lingering. A spirit, a thing I would consider a semantic resonance that infects and influence future minds. The words themselves don't change, but the interpretation does.
Words are living things.
Written words, the corporeal form of words, are dead.
There is a sort of life breathed into words, even if written. The written word is dead, but the meaning is much alive. And that meaning transforms and reshapes itself by subjective interpretation. Meaning always does this sort of fickle thing.
I am sort of writing my words on the internet, through these articles on this blog. So in a way, I can edit the words and change them, to revise and edit as I go. So this internet version of my work, my future book Words Mean Things, is one that is living.
For as long as I draw breath, I intend to add to this website, and make it a living thing rather than dead words. I also apologies for making this article so wordy, with little pictures. Sorry, big mood.
So feel free to message me or have a conversation.

Dr. Ricardo Weewer appointed Professor of Fire-fighting Sciences
On the 1st of September Dr. R(icardo) Weewer will begin his work as Professor of Fire-fighting Sciences at the Fire Service Academy of the Dutch Institute for Physical Safety.
Dr. Weewer is known within the fire service community as a participant in several national projects and working groups. He was, amongst other things, project leader and spokesperson of the Fire Research Project, and he participated in the programme on Improving Learning Ability, the project group on Outdoor Attacks, the management group Innovation Courage and the Strategic Travel Fire-fighters project. He was also a member of the research commission entitled "Evaluation of Fire in The Point", an initiative from the Fire Service Programme Council and Scientific Council of the NVBR. Since the completion of the "Fire-fighters about Tomorrow" vision he regularly appears as a strategic advisor to the Council of Regional Commanders and gives presentations on innovations within the Fire Department and the Fire-fighters about Tomorrow.
Dr. Weewer will combine his position as a lecturer of Fire-fighting Sciences with his function as Deputy Commander of the Amsterdam-Amstelland Fire-fighters corps. The NIFV attaches great importance to this combination, as it is crucial for a knowledge institute to maintain close ties with the practical side of things. The latter also benefits from further knowledge development.
Lectures at the NIFV are targeted to gather and develop knowledge, and to translate this (new) knowledge and insights into schoolings, exercises and trainings.

MR. MUSIC: List of one-hit wonders
Dear Jerry: Long ago, you listed the only so-called 'one-hit wonders' with No. 1 hits. How about expanding that list to those with only one hit that reached the Top 10?
Do this, and I promise not to ask you to go any further down the charts.
— Maxine Holmes, Upper Darby, Pennsylvania
Dear Maxine: I like the idea, so let's round them up.
Defining a one-hit wonder is, as you know, entirely up to the user. All that matters is to be consistent.
To that end, here are our parameters:
Anyone with a vinyl era (1950 through 1989) Top 10 hit, on either Billboard or Cash Box qualifies, if they never had another tune on either magazine's primary chart. That most likely means a Top 100, but could be fewer if in the early 1950s.
If they have a second chart record that is merely a reissue of their first hit, it will not count as a separate release.
An example of this is Napoleon XIV's 'They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!,' that charted in 1966 and again in 1973. It is still just one hit — ha-haa!
If an artist is credited differently, whether intentional or not, we lump them all together.
Thus, 'The All American Boy' by Bobby Bare, but mistakenly credited to Bill Parsons, is not included because Bare had many hits, though 'Parsons' never charted again.
As for one-off Top 10 duets, they are not considered one-hitters if both members have charted records apart from their duet.
Here are the 94 one-hit wonders, by peak Top 10 positions, then chronologically:

House extension
UK Home extension guide - how to build a house extension and refurbish your
Use our professional services for your own home extension
Working out the pitched roof area can be done with the aid of a simple calculator using the overall foot
print area times by a factor (usually the cosine).
There are plenty of online pitched roof calculators that will work everything out for you including rafter
lengths, hip lengths etc.
For those that would like to work it out simply using a scale rule & a calculator for yourselves here is the
description of what to do:-
If you have a roof plan and no section through the building showing the length of the rafter, provided you know
what the rafter pitch should be it is possible to calculate the rafter length from the horizontal distance from the
fascia board to the ridge board.
The rafter length will always be longer than the horizontal distance from the fascia board to the ridge board
and will vary with the angle (pitch) of the roof. The steeper the rafter the longer it will be.
There is a direct mathematical relationship between the horizontal distance and the rafter length for any given
angle. Like Sine, Cosine and Tangent in trigonometry there are other relationships, one of which is Secants.
Natural secants are tables of the relationship between the angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle when the
horizontal (adjacent) distance is one.
When using the tables, you look up the angle (pitch). The figure found should be used to multiply the horizontal
distance, and the result will be the rafter length (see table).
If you are measuring the total area of a pitched roof, and all rafter pitches are the same, it is not essential
to measure each roof slope separately and add them together, especially if there are a lot of small roof
By measuring the length and width of each rectangular part of the building, and using the natural adjustment
factor figure for the rafter pitch, all three can be multiplied together and the answer will give the total
roof area. A hipped roof will have the same roof surface area as a mono pitch, or duo pitch (gable to gable), for
the same building footprint.

Speaking to Starr FM, the Public Relations Officer for the National Road Safety Authority Kwame Koduah Atuahene said the Authority has commenced investigations into the matter
"Unfortunately in the past, institutions treated our recommendations with contempt but now we have the power so we will deal with these matters. I can assure you that this accident would be investigated. The Authority has commissioned investigations into the matter often times when these happen a team has been put together to get to the scene and examine the vehicles and get some recommendations going forward."
Mr Atuahene also hinted moves by the Authority to ensure stringent enforcement of regulations governing transport companies.
However, the 57 victims who survived the accident are receiving treatment at the hospital,30 have been discharged.
Again, some relatives of deceased victims of the accident have visited the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital to identify and collect their remains.
It took the effort of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) from Cape Coast to rescue some of the injured while the mutilated bodies of dead passengers were conveyed in vehicles to the hospital.

CHISINAU — Moldova's parliament voted on Thursday to sack its speaker, Marian Lupu, deepening a political crisis that has already led to the resignation of the government.
The parliament cannot pass laws without a full-time speaker and must be dissolved if it does not pass any legislation for three months. It also cannot name a new prime minister without a speaker.
Deputies from the party of former prime minister Vlad Filat sided with opposition communists in voting against Lupu, Filat's former ally in the now-defunct pro-European coalition.
Seventy-six deputies supported a motion to dismiss Lupu, with 67 votes required to pass it.
Earlier this week Moldova's Constitutional Court thwarted Filat's plans to be reinstated as head of government after losing a no-confidence vote in May.

Express Scripts Exchange Pulse report found that utilization, particularly for traditional meds, was one of the biggest factors driving spending in 2015, accounting for more than half of the exchange plans $99 PMPY increase in spending between 2014 and 2015.
There's a lot more runway for increased spending on traditional medications on exchange plans, according to a new report.
Express Scripts Exchange Pulse report found that utilization, particularly for traditional medications, was one of the biggest factors driving spending in 2015, accounting for more than half of the exchange plans $99 per member per year (PMPY) increase in spending between 2014 and 2015.
"Yet despite representing a majority of the spending increase, spending on traditional medications still lags the traditional medication spending of commercially insured plans by 31%," according to Julie Huppert, vice president Healthcare Reform, Express Scripts. "Plans should prepare for continued growth in the use of traditional medications as more enrollees learn how to use their benefit and begin to seek medical care."
In addition, HIV and hepatitis C remain the costliest specialty categories, but spending is beginning to normalize.
"When the exchanges first opened, enrollees who were unqualified for health coverage due to a pre-existing condition began to use their new benefit immediately, causing an initial surge in the use of medications for HIV and hepatitis C," Huppert says. "While those two conditions still lead specialty spending, the population of enrollees with other chronic conditions is beginning to grow, mirroring trends we see in commercial prescription medication use."
Specifically, diabetes and inflammatory conditions, the top two costliest therapy classes for commercial plans, are the third and fourth costliest classes for exchange plans, according to the report.
Silver plan prescription spending grew the fastest over the past two years. Platinum- and gold-level plans, favored by enrollees with costly chronic conditions, had higher overall drug spend. However, silver plans, the most popular metal level plan in the exchanges, saw the greatest spending growth. As more enrollees began using their benefit, silver plans saw a 20.5% increase between 2014 and 2015.
"Such a jump is yet another signal that the majority of exchange enrollees are becoming more comfortable with their benefit and will begin using it more," Huppert says.
Utilizing access to approximately one-third of all U.S public exchange members, the Express Scripts Exchange Pulse Report compares year-over-year trends in prescription medication use among the exchange plan enrollees to those enrolled in a commercial health plan, between 2014 and 2015.
Next: Words of wisdom
Based on the report, Huppert offers this:
• Drive down costs so you can lower premiums.
"Formulary, utilization and channel management tools can mitigate increases in medication use by ensuring patients receive the right drug at the right cost, and at the most cost-effective dispensing channel," she says.
• Focus on the growing therapy classes, particularly in specialty.
"As the population of patients with other specialty conditions continues to grow, plans will need to closely manage their specialty pharmacy benefit, leveraging medical benefit management and other strategies, along with condition-specific, personalized pharmacy care," Huppert says.
• Enhance member care.
A population new to healthcare coverage should be surrounded with care to ensure proper medication use and reduce waste, according to Huppert.
"Educating patients, coordinating care and encouraging medication adherence, like our pharmacists do in our Therapeutic Resource Centers, delivers better health outcomes and helps create a positive healthcare experience, which can go a long way to creating the type of plan loyalty we see in Medicare plans."

Triathlete's Men's Summer Cycling Clothing Roundup
We review some of the hottest cycling kits for the hottest summer weather with our seven-point rating system.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
The perfect bike kit can make all the difference on long training days. The best summer cycling clothing for men in 2021 is more than just a padded pair of shorts and tight fitting t-shirt—a well-designed cycling kit can help reduce recovery time between workouts via temperature control, prevention of saddle sores and skin rash, and reduction in riding fatigue through proper padding and compression.
A comfortable set of bib shorts can make long miles more pleasant by preventing saddle sores, reducing chafing, and wicking moisture away from your…ahem, "nether region." We've paired five pairs of men's bib shorts with summer jerseys to find the ultimate men's cycling kits that perform well in the heat.
(Looking for women's specific kits? We rounded those up here.)
RELATED: How to Find the Right Bike Shorts For You
2021 Summer Cycling Clothing – Bib Shorts
Bib shorts, or "bibs" for short, are cycling shorts with suspenders. Cyclists tend to favor bibs over other cycling shorts because they stay put and don't need a drawstring. Bib shorts for men can come with a bunch of different features, but a great pair of bib shorts are comfortable to wear all day, have a pad (a.k.a. chamois) that prevents saddle sores and bruising, are breathable and moisture wicking, and are durable enough to withstand frequent washing and friction.
2021 Summer Cycling Clothing – The Chamois
That thick pad in men's cycling shorts is more than just a vibration absorber. The perfect chamois will not only provide padding to your sit bones, but it will keep your groin dry and chafe free while reducing pressure on sensitive soft tissue and your pudendal nerve. Combined, that pad can be the difference between diaper rash and bruised sit bones or feeling eager to get up and ride the next day.
2021 Summer Cycling Clothing – How We Tested
Which bib short and jersey you choose will come down to price and the details. Look for a jersey that fits and looks good on you, and choose bib shorts that fit well and offer the features you're looking for. When making the purchase, choose a retailer that lets you try on items, and if you're ordering at home make sure you can return items that don't fit.
We have tested five different offerings for men's cycling clothing to give you some insight for making your next purchase. Full disclosure: I am a pain in the chamois – I like legs and sleeves that don't move on me, tab features that avoid my skin and pricey bibs from abrasion by the zipper, pockets you can actually use, appropriate compression, a chamois you would want to sit on, and I want it all soft and pliable while maintaining a "race fit" to avoid the parachute look.
Editor's Note: While the gear below was loaned out by the brands represented, all choices were selected independently by the tester without any promotional consideration or brand input. Also, unlike other "best triathlon cycling shoes review" websites, our testers actually wear and try the gear ourselves—no glancing at spec sheets and rewording marketing terms! For more on how we review gear, click here.
2021 Summer Cycling Clothing – The Ratings, Explained
|Notes on sizing.
|Overall Comfort
|Scale from 1-5 on overall comfort while riding—this can include construction and materials, but pad is rated separately.
|Pad Thickness
|Scale from 1-5 on pad thickness with 1 being minimal and 5 being very thick.
|Moisture Control
|Scale of 1-5, this is overall moisture control that includes the pad and all other materials; 1 indicates that it gets soggy/wet and stays that way, 5 indicates excellent dissipation and evaporation.
|Scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most durable, this rates how tough the materials appear and roughly how many seasons the clothing might last.
|Saddle Relief
|Scale of 1-5 that specifically looks at the construction of the shorts and whether they chafe and/or give a reasonable amount of cushion for the normal rider; 1 indicates poor relief/lots of chafing, 5 means excellent relief with absolutely no chafing.
|Scale of 1-5, this is not just the price itself from low to high, but how much bang you get for your buck.
Zoot Core+ Cycle Jersey and Core Cycle Bib | $75 Jersey $95 Bib
|A loose fit for both jersey and bib shorts—jersey arm sleeves and leg length are cut short (good for those working on hiding tan lines). Due to the length of the zipper, expect the front of the jersey to fold and "pooch out."
|Overall Comfort
|Pad Thickness
|Moisture Control
|Saddle Relief
Basics: Entry-level Zoot kit offering traditional cut and materials to provide the basics for a warm-to-three-season training kit that won't break the bank.
What I Like: The jersey has a taller-than-typical collar providing nice sun protection to the back of the neck and ventilated side panels o help with heat dispersion. The bibs stay put when riding, while leg grippers provide sufficient hold to keep the bib shorts from sliding up the leg. The pricing is excellent, allowing you to either buy multiple kits or use those savings towards some fancy wheels or a wetsuit.
Needs More Salt: The kit can best be described as Generic. The materials are reminiscent of clothing from the 90's, with dated fabrics and zipper. The jersey is loose-fitting and the arms are cut short. And because there are no grippers at the end of the sleeves, they creep up during your ride. The bibs lack any noticeable compression in the legs, and the chamois is underwhelming.Section divider

Basics: Part of Giro's Renew Series aimed at reducing environmental impact through use of recycled materials, the Chrono Kit achieves all day comfort with multiple tech features
What I Like: The jersey is made of noticeably soft and comfortable fabrics. Highlight features such as UPF 50+, sleeves with unnoticeable grippers that keep them in place, and highly reflective 3M highlights ensuring safety during poor visibility make this my favorite jersey tested. The bib shorts have a wrap-around-your-core construction (though this is not for everybody, as it does create increased heat) that houses three rear storage pockets—making this a great choice for bike packing or T-shirt rides.
Needs More Salt: The trade off for soft bibs and jerseys is poor wicking, making the kit palpably and visibly wet with sweat as the ride goes on. This kit would be better suited for rides where the temperature does not tip over 80 degrees—but makes a great offering for year-round riding.Section divider
Castelli Climber's 3.0 Jersey and Premio Bib | $140 Jersey $260 Bib
|Race cut—no bagginess or wind drag with either the jersey or bib shorts. The jersey arm sleeves are long (almost to the elbow), and the legs on the bib shorts tend to be on the longer side.

Basics: A lightweight and highly wicking jersey that keeps you cool and sheltered from the sun's UV, while maintaining some trickle-down aerodynamic benefits from Castelli's Aero Race Jersey. The Premio Bib is Catelli's top-of-the line, all-seasons bib short designed with premium fabrics, a spare-no-expense chamois, and unique features such as lie-flat bib straps to keep everything in place.
What I Like: Once you put this kit on, you do not need to touch it until it is time for it to come off. The sleeves on the jersey are long, and the fit is very "pro." Neither the jersey nor bib shorts bunch, move, or shift at all. The bib shorts are definitely one of the most comfortable bibs I have ever worn. They provide the proper amount of compression, mid thigh, and flexibility through the hips. My first ride in this kit was 87 miles on a warm Southern California day, and the kit looked as fresh at the end as at the beginning (which is more than I can say for the tester). The materials wick sweat off you efficiently, leaving no moisture or making you look like salt lick.
Needs More Salt: This is a $400 warm-weather kit, making it a tough pill to swallow when you are considering buying those new ceramic racing goggles. The jersey is definitely limited to warm riding (it is nearly transparent, you can see my tattoos through it), and although you could layer it with a base layer, the fabrics and noticeably smaller rear pockets do keep this in a hot summer "climber" jersey category.

MAAP Stealth Race Fit Jersey and Team Bib Evo | $ 180 Jersey $270 Bib
|A nice compromise between snug, race fit, and comfort. Varied fabrics providing varied flexibility with arms being most restrictive and thighs being most forgiving (for those track-legged athletes).
|Overall Comfort
|Pad Thickness
|Moisture Control
|Saddle Relief
Basics: MAAP blends updated style with the familiar cut and fit of what you have come to expect from today's high-end cycling clothing—think of your traditional tuxedo paired with some cool Vans. Additionally, MAAP is Bluesign® certificated which means that their products and manufacturing processes are safe for the consumer and the environment, giving you a "good for the planet" feeling on your purchase.
What I Like: The jersey combines multiple different materials for a "race fit" cut that is breathable and comfortable—avoiding the ultralight, stiff-paper feel of most lightweight summer jerseys. The bibs have wide, secure shoulder straps that keep them in place, and as I am a fan of longer length legs I loved the cut and length of these bibs. The fabric provided excellent flexibility when riding in an aggressive position without sliding up your leg. However, the show stealer is the chamois—simply put, it is the best of all the kits tested.
Needs More Salt: At this pricepoint, there is an expectation for certain features common among the top-shelf offerings that I didn't see in this MAAP kit. Absent were skin-protectant tabs for the jersey zipper and no compression element on the bibs' legs. Also, where the leg gripper length was excessive, the sleeve gripper was more of a tourniquet bracelet—it did the job, but not as comfortable as employing grip fabric into the sleeve for seamless and comfortable retention of fabric.Section divider
POC Essential Road Light Jersey and NE-Plus Ultra VPDS Bib | $ 100 Jersey $240 Bib
|Both jersey and bib shorts fit like you should be out on an adventure with some planned cafe stops—very casual without much concern to prevention of wind drag. The bib shorts have more of a backing than typical bib shorts, giving more of a tank-top feel, but due to lack of seams in the straps, there is no discomfort when adding weight to the leg pockets.
|Overall Comfort

|Moisture Control
|Saddle Relief

Basics: If any reader has listened to my pleas for triathletes to get a gravel bike (great road and adventure training), this would be an ideal kit for your next summer gravel ride or bikepacking adventure. The bibs were designed with a short gravel saddle in mind, meaning the chamois is shortened and the shorts have leg pockets.
What I Like: The jersey has nice sleeve grippers, a comfy neck zipper protection, and is very well vented through multiple panels (not just your "put a bunch of perforated fabric in the armpit" method). The bib shorts have a large mesh backing and completely seamless straps, making for a comfortable fit regardless of riding position. I liked not having the extra fabric in the front of the chamois, but I still found the chamois comfortable. Like all of POC products, rider safety is paramount, and this kit has multiple reflective safety features allowing for improved visibility.
Needs More Salt: The jersey is loose fitting, bordering on baggy, and with the absence of any significant grip or compression along the bottom of the jersey, it fits more like a shirt. This is a great look and feel for gravel adventures, but may be too loose for tri summer training. The bib shorts leg gripper isn't amazing, as I found the legs to migrate up too frequently. That being said, if they were loaded down with gels and electrolytes, may stay in place better.

Here it is – our last part of what was a lovely weekend in Gibraltar – Enjoy!
Tag: Gibraltar
Gibraltar Weekend May 2022
Well, I'm doing things in reverse this time around – I normal write our review and then make a video, and for our recent trip to Gibraltar I've started on the video.
So here it is, part 1 – I will explain the distinct absence of monkeys later!

First of all, Yellowstone is huge. For $35 per car, we were able to get a park pass for a week. That probably would've been enough time to see everything, but we only stayed for 2 full days. There were 5 entrances to the park, two of which were closed due to the massive flooding earlier in the season. We came in from the west and tackled the north loop on the first day.
There were some challenges with the north loop we weren't expecting. We decided to stop in Mammoth Hot Springs for lunch. It would've worked great, but the restaurant was closed there due to the earlier flooding. The only thing that was open was a general store were everyone went to buy food. They had a couple picnic tables set up outside which we ended up sharing with a random family. A lot of people were just sitting on the ground eating. Eating in the park was a big problem. But there were plenty of stores, gas stations, and restrooms. They even had an automotive garage on site for car repairs.
For the most part, parking was not a huge issue. There were little areas to get out and see the sights along the loops. We especially enjoyed the geysers and hot springs even with the whiff of sulfur in the air. If you are looking for one of the most beautiful breathtaking places on Earth, surely it is to be found here.
The trip wouldn't have been complete without wild animals. We saw a bear, elk, and a ton of bison. There were many signs reminding tourists that these are wild animals. We decided not to go hiking on the back trails because of it. If you do, you would need to buy or rent bear spray in case of a bear attack. We decided to stay on the main walkways for the attractions which provided us with plenty of walking without having to go on the hiking trails. It also allowed us to keep within our allotted time frame of two days and still see a lot. Time management was very tricky because we never knew how long it would take to drive somewhere or how long the walkway was to get there. Plus we needed to add extra time to pull over and look at animals. Animals could be blocking the roads, there are long lines at the park entrance, and of all things we ran into road construction in the park.
We received several detailed maps of the park and talked to several park rangers for information. Cell phone coverage is spotty within the park itself so I wouldn't rely on that totally for navigation.
The picture above and below are of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The above picture we walked down a steep descent to see a waterfall going down into the canyon. It was a challenging path. The picture below was taken from the opposite side of the picture above.
We didn't end up getting out of the park until after 8 PM the first day. We were really tired, hungry, and worried about where we were going to eat since it was late on a Monday night. However, we found that West Yellowstone had plenty of restaurants open. We stopped at the Wild West Pizzeria and Saloon. It was really packed, but their pizza was amazing. It ended up being my favorite meal on the trip. We learned a lot on that first day and we thought we were ready for day two.

You know, what most folks usually show on their social media is the sanitized version of life. We show our best side, the cleaned up parts of the house, and the prettiest parts of the garden. What a chore! And how unrealistic, because life is messy. But frankly, I don't want to see your mess. I've got enough of my own to deal with.
But today, I'm showing some pictures of garden reality, inspired by the way 2020 has booglified us all. Never heard that term? It's a great word, coined by Mississippi Horticulturalist Extraordinaire Felder Rushing. It means to become mushy after a freeze and thaw. Isn't that appropriately descriptive? He's got a great gardening website you can find here: https://www.felderrushing.net/
We've had a couple of light freezes on the Gulf Coast this month, so my tender perennials are gone for this year. I'm going to leave these as they are until late January or early February, when I'll cut them back to get rid of the dead stuff. That means at least two months of looking at a shriveled, floppy, discolored mess.
Here's what I mean. The top picture shows hydrangeas with blossoms and leaves turned brown. The falling oak limbs during our two back-to-back hurricanes battered these poor shrubs already.
Below, you see gingers with shriveled leaves, and the beautiful red "pinecones" have definitely become booglified.
This bleeding heart vine on the south wall of the house was beautiful this year. The parts closest to the warm wall are still fine, but the tendrils that dared to reach a few feet out from the trellis were flash frozen.
The big patch of elephant ears is gone for this year. These gentle giants have been happy for thirty years in an area near the end of the septic tank's feeder lines. Booglified! They're dependable plants, so I know they'll be back next spring.
Finally my cardinal spears often bloom until Christmas, and I like to use the red spikes in decorations – not this year. The collage below is before and after the first freeze.
The picture below was taken after the second freeze. They turned completely black.
There's more cold weather coming. We even have an inch or two of snow every five years, or so. But I have no doubt these plants will survive. There's life still in the roots and rhizomes, waiting for the warmth of Spring.
This year hasn't been pretty. So much has happened that may have chilled us to the bone. We're perennials. We have hope as an anchor that no matter what comes our way, God is with us. He can sustain us through storms and chilling life events.
Christmas celebrates the coming of Jesus, who is God in the flesh, who walked among His people.
"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). – Matthew 1:23
He lives within us, if we have asked Him to come live in and through us, to be Lord and rule and reign over our lives. He is our helper and our very Life.
I have hope for Spring, and for 2021. I have hope that one day, Jesus will walk among us again, in the flesh. In the meantime, it's not pretty.
Shalom, Dottie

If you can present your sales pitch in a manner which is both nice to look at and useful to your customer, they will become your customer and buy your product. Is it actually this easy? Yes! If you use the information in this article, you will find great success in your e-mail marketing campaign. This article has lots of important advice.
Do not engage in the distribution of unsolicited email. When you send out your emails to everyone, many people will mark them as spam. Not only is this bad for your reputation, but some ISPs might block your IP address if too many people complain that you are sending unsolicited marketing messages.
Do not continuously insist that your subscribers "Buy Now." Don't use that approach. Customers may be put off by what appears to be "spam" at first glance. They are aware that you would like them to purchase your items, so offer them a professional, valuable relationship. Your customers will most definitely appreciate this and are more apt to make purchases from you because of it.
All emails should be proofread before they are sent out. It is imperative that your emails be error free. Send yourself a test email before dispatching your messages to customers to ensure that the layout and formatting is correct. Be sure that if there are links in the email you test them first.
Make sure you include limited promotions and special offers in your newsletters; this will keep your customers interested and always on the lookout for future emails. This technique encourages customers to open your messages and will increase referrals to their contacts. You can promote this even further by creating a referral rewards plan, which will not only increase the number of subscribers to your newsletter, but also your pool of potential buyers.
Because this article has provided you with information on how to effectively market your business using email, you need to design the layout and content in order for it to be interesting. Think about what you would like to see as a consumer and then appeal to that. The fruits you will yield and the speed with which they arrive will shock you.

The U.S. authorities included Pakistani Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) group in the list of terror organizations, according to a release issued by the U.S. Department of State on Wednesday.
"These designations seek to deny HM the resources it needs to carry out terrorist attacks. Among other consequences, all of HM's property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked," the release said.
In addition, U.S. citizens are now prohibited from conducting any transactions with the group.
Hizbul Mujahideen, which was formed in 1989, is one of the oldest militant groups operating in Kashmir.
In June, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the group's emir Syed Salahuddin, drawing criticism from the Pakistani authorities.
"The designation of individuals supporting the Kashmiri right to self-determination as terrorists is completely unjustified," the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
In July, the Pentagon halted $300 million in funding to Pakistan saying there was not enough evidence the country was taking sufficient actions to curb terrorism.

Even the Chevy Bowtie Grille Emblem on the Camaro Z/28 is High Performance
During the early stages of aerodynamic testing of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, the team found that the Chevrolet "Bowtie" emblem on the grille displaced a surprising amount of air that would have otherwise gone straight through the grille, through the radiator and into the engine bay. Having the gold Bowtie in the middle of the grille essentially created a hot spot in the middle of the radiator while also restricting the air flow into the engine bay. It would have been sacrilegious for the most track capable Camaro of all time to not have the Bowtie on the grille so what do you do?
You engineer a new Chevy logo that allows better air flow for the 2014 Camaro Z/28 and the "Flowtie" is born.
"The Flowtie is just one example of the team's focus on track performance," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. "That same attention to detail is evident throughout the cooling systems for the LS7 engine, as well as the carbon ceramic brakes and the differential."
The Chevy Bowtie emblem on the "normal" 2014 Camaro is a large, textured gold form with a chrome trim piece running around the border. The Bowtie badge is designed with aerodynamics in mind, but having any solid object across the grille can affect air flow – even if only by a small amount. After all, that small amount could be the difference between winning a race and losing to a car with an engine running a little cooler late in the race. The Z/28's Flowtie has only the chrome outer edge and the middle is left open to allow 3 addition cubic meters of air to enter the engine bay each minute. This allows the engine coolant and the engine oil to both run about 2 degrees (F) cooler and that translates to more durability and more power during the rigors of road racing.
"The Camaro Z/28 has more than 190 unique parts, compared to a Camaro SS," Oppenheiser said. "Like the Flowtie, each of these parts were changed with one objective: to deliver incredible performance on the track – not just for the first lap, but lap, after lap, after lap."
General Motors has offered up a short video with Al Oppenheiser talking about the development of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Z/28 including the new Flowtie grille emblem. The 2014 Camaro Z/28 will arrive in dealerships and race tracks this spring.

Healthy Habits for Effective Online Learning
Take active steps to maintain your mental and physical health and to help you learn effectively.
- Working at a computer all day can lead to eye strain. In order to avoid this concern, be sure the lighting on your electronic devices is set to an appropriate level and you take regular and frequent breaks from your screen. When you are required to spend a lot of time at a computer, the Mayo Clinic staff suggests blinking frequently and using artificial tears (eye drops). Consider using one of the following free apps that will remind you to take an eye break: EyeCare, ProtectYourVision, Awareness, or TimeOut.
- To avoid neck and back discomfort, be sure your computer screen is level with your eyes; avoid looking up or down at a screen. Be sure to include stretching in your daily routine; our bodies are not used to sitting all day, so relieve tension by stretching every hour or two. If possible, try to work while standing. Consider using a kitchen counter or book shelf for your computer; if that's not high enough stack books or a box under your computer. But be aware of your line of vision.
- Schedule time for exercise. After spending the majority of your day in front of your screen, even more so if you are sitting at a desk or table, it's important to get moving. If you have the ability to do so, take a daily walk or jog outside (but be sure to practice social distancing). For those who cannot leave their house try lunges, planks, knee-lifts, jumping jacks, or squats. There are many online resources for free exercise now as well.
- Sitting at a computer all day often leads to unhealthy snacking. To stay healthy, we need to eat healthy. Research shows that improved nutrition leads to heightened cognition, so be sure to choose healthy snacks and get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Remember to stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.
- In addition to working on your physical heath, remember to plan time to support your mental health. Engage in activities that you enjoy doing and spend time with loved ones. Since most of us are currently isolated from those outside of our households, take the opportunity to learn new online platforms that will allow you to video chat and interact with your friends and family members. YouTube and other streaming services offer many free guided meditation and yoga videos. And take a break from screens! Spending some quiet time each day, especially away from your computer, can lead to an overall sense of wellbeing. And don't forget that getting adequate sleep is an essential part of social-emotional wellbeing and effective learning.

Seattle's Holocaust Center for Humanity launched its Student Leadership Board (SLB) 6 years ago, and its mission is "Developing Compassionate Leaders through Education and Action. Get involved and make a difference." Selected through an application process, the SLB this school year (2020-21) consists of 62 motivated and passionate students from 41 schools in the state Washington (grades 7-12), with diversity in backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, coming together twice a month via the internet to learn, listen, and lead. Through project-based learning, SLB students develop skills for leadership and teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. At the same time they gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and make a positive difference in their schools and in their communities. Having committed to the SLB through the end of the school year, student teams work together to carry out meaningful projects that support the Holocaust Center's mission and provide real-world leadership experience. The students also provide feedback on the Holocaust Center's other programs and serve as ambassadors.
The SLB is guided by Ilana Cone Kennedy, Holocaust Center's Director of Education, and for SLB's November 4 meeting Ilana asked me to participate by having the students review my Holocaust background and prepare questions for an extended Q&A session with me. I readily agreed, since answering student questions is my favorite part of my talks – Q&A allows the students to air their real world concerns, and via the dialogue to consider and hopefully absorb my message of tolerance and compassion vs. prejudice and hate as they mature.
I was pleased by the students' many questions, some deep and insightful and some simply humane. Answers to questions asked during our online session and also those emailed to me afterwards via the Holocaust Center are listed in the front part of Student Questions (300+ total) category on my website www.NeitherYesterdays.com.
