We have put 50 days for Nepal adventure expedition through the Nepalese Himalayas. First planned an adventure in the Kanchenjunga and Makalu region, the plan was to first go to the Kanchenjunga basecamp, and then follow the great himalayan trail to connect with the Makalu Barun region. After this trek we planned an attempt for the Mera Peak. Due to the bad weather and lots of snow early October (due to the Indian cyclone) the traverse was almost impossible to make so we decide & made it to the Kanchenjunga North basecamp, and then had to skip the traverse. We then drive to Chitwan national park to spend the extra days from the trekking. The Mera Peak expedition was a success. Both, my wife and I reached the summit. So, the crew in the field and the organization in general, had to be extremely flexible. Flights had to be rescheduled; plans had to change… no problem for the general manager Hari Sitaula at Trexmount Ventures. He already showed himself very flexible during the planning, and this continued during our 50 day s trip through Nepal. This is the second time we work with them in Nepal (after the Annapurna circuit in 2010), and we are still very enthusiastic of the support we get from the company. This holiday’s itinerary was completely tailor made, and Hari takes care of all logistics, bookings, permits, etc. Traveling here is not always easy, and one should trek with a very open mind and be prepared to make changes. When (not if) we return to Nepal, we will definitely contact Hari again. It is always a relieve to know someone you know you can trust. Sabrine & Maarten Van Loon Belgium Tour date: October & November 2013.

A new innovation for low cost fused filament 3D printers, the GeckoTek 3D Printer Build Plate is an innovative way to avoid the agonies involved in making that first layer of a 3D printing project work.
While most makers are 'stuck,' as it were, using Kapton Tape, Blue tape, hair spray, or ABS dissolved in acetone as aids to make sure the initial layer of extruded plastic adheres correctly to the build platform of their printer, none of those products are actually intended to be used that way.
The result? A level of performance and consistency which is less than ideal.
GeckoTek says they've developed a permanent coating, a coating specifically tailored to meet the needs of 3D printing, which supplies the exact amount of adhesion needed to prevent first layer warping while still allowing for easy part removal when a project is complete.
For printers lacking a heated bed, GeckoTek says their product is "perfect for use with PLA at room temperature." If you do happen to have a heated bed, they add that the GeckoTek 3D Printer Build Plate works with ABS, Nylon, HIPS and a variety of other materials as well.
The secret, according to GeckoTek, is that rather than using the traditional glass or acrylic, their product uses "spring steel" as the substrate. The spring steel allows for the plate to gently flex, and they say that means even the most difficult parts can be removed easily without damage.
Spring steels, in case you aren't familiar with the materials, are low alloy, medium or carbon steels manufactured to very high yield strengths whose primary feature is the ability to resist deformation and return to shape. There are two main methods of production, the most common involving the heat treatment process known as hardening and tempering. Medium and high carbon steels are heated, and then quenched. This process achieves high yield strength, but also introduces brittleness, so the material is subsequently tempered to remove the stresses and greatly reduce the risk of the material breaking.
The product will come with a matching, machined aluminum build plate and embedded magnets to hold the build plate in place. The bottom line? Yet another bonus in that no binder clips will be required to make the system perform.
Available soon on Kickstarter, the GeckoTek Build Plate can be seen in action below, and if you want to join the mailing list and be notified when the campaign officially launches, you can visit GeckoTek3d.com to join their mailing list.

Thank you to Ms. Natan and her team for assisting me with amending and restating my trust, as well as updating my other estate planning documents. We were originally referred to Ms. Natan to assist my daughter in establishing a revocable trust, as she was turning twenty one and needed to get her affairs in order.

Ms. Natan and her staff are very knowledgeable and professional. My experience of working with them on my estate planning has been completely positive. Her ability to understand my needs, communicate legal concepts in layman terms, present options, then quickly and efficiently implement our plan helped simplify a complex process. Ms. Natan has my highest recommendation.
We had been planning to do a restatement of our trust during the summer months, when, at the start of the year, one of us learned we needed to go in for surgery. This seemed to leave us with no choice but to do a quick amendment and postpone the full restatement until later. This patchwork approach would have meant a duplication of effort and a significant waste of time in the long run. In order to avoid this, our financial advisor approached Ms. Natan and her team at SSS Legal and Consultancy Services, APC, presented our situation to her, and asked if she could help. Ms. Natan rose to the challenge beautifully, completing a full restatement and finishing the job a week before the scheduled surgery date. And she did all this without in any way compromising quality. In fact, she was able significantly to untangle and simplify the rather complex internal logic of the earlier trust and make the new one a much more accurate reflection of our current outlook and needs. Throughout the project, Ms. Natan was focused, attentive, painstakingly thorough, and yet easy to work with.

text: I did see that foundation story. I think it’s actually a sensible solution to the arts-funding controversy. The government should support mainstream and high culture (that’s what it can do well and with good reason). Private foundations should fund experimental art. Everyone will be happy. It’s always seemed strange to me that avant-garde artists who protest against everything about American society and government then go begging for federal handouts. Anyway, I’m off to work. The next time we chat I will have glanced at the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.

Each week we dip into the Ask How-To Geek mailbox and answer your pressing questions. This week we’re looking at installing PDF printers, hiding accounts at the Windows Login Screen, and sharing a USB HDD between computers.
Being basically CHEAP, I liked this idea so decided to try it out this morning. I don’t have a Print to PDF option when I go to print. How do I get this option?
There isn’t a default PDF printer built into Windows, so you’ll need to add one. It’s really simple to do so and once you’re done you’ll have easy-peasy access to a PDF printer for all your future print-to-file needs. While you could go the official route and pay for Adobe Acrobat, that’s overkill for simple access to a PDF printer. Instead we suggest you follow our guide to installing CutePDF under Windows Vista (the guide will work fine for Windows 7, also). You’ll be PDF printing in a matter of minutes.
Today I was wondering why I had to select my username on my laptop that’s only being used by me. Every time I need to click on the same icon after starting my computer. If you have one account on Windows Vista/7 you can just type in the password and start. But when you have 2 accounts (one is the administrator and one is the normal user) you need to select one. I don’t use the administrator-account, at least not in my daily use. I would like to have Windows 7 to ask directly for my normal account. I know it’s just one single click but it’s an useless click. What can I do?
It certainly would be nice if Windows had a built-in setting which allowed you to hide logins, wouldn’t it? While we’re sitting around waiting for that setting to appear, however, we can achieve the same end with a simple registry edit. You can check out our guide to removing user accounts from the login screen in Windows Vista/7 here. Other readers might be interested in our similar guide for Windows XP here.
I would like to give four computers access to a single USB hard drive. There’s a big catch, though. None of the computers are networked and I would like to share the hard drive with all of them via USB at the same time. Is this possible?
We’re sorry to inform you that there’s really no way to accomplish what you’re asking, at least not without some concessions that essentially amount to building a simple network. USB cannot be split in the fashion in which you desire. USB connects to a host computer via one controller and that controller handles everything. You can’t split a USB connection between multiple locations and have the HDD simultaneously mounted.
That said, you can easily accomplish the kind of connectivity you need very cheaply. Since you wanted to share the drive among non-networked computers we’ll go out on a limb and assume that they are close to each other (close enough for a USB cord to reach). With the computers that close together it will be absolutely trivial to set up a simple network. You’ll need a router, but not a very fancy one. Ask around to see if any of your friends have an old router laying around (you’ll probably find at least one or two friends with an old Wi-Fi B router they’d be happy to get rid of). Barring that, you can find plenty of cheap but dependable refurbished routers online like this Linksys router.
In addition to the router you’ll need four lengths of Ethernet cable to hook the PCs to the router. Once everything is hooked together you need to plug the drive into one of the PCs (pick the one that will be turned on the most) and share the drive with the network. Read how to share files between XP and Windows 7 here and how to set up simple sharing under Vista/7 here. Once you’ve shared the folder/drive on the network all the other machines will be able to access it with the host computer acting as the controller.
We know that’s not quite the answer you’re looking for but it’s the fastest and most functional solution to your problem.

Securing legal counsel is an important preparatory step in creating a new population health business unit for an internal employee or member-based accountability program. Step 4 in this 10-step guide will help you begin conversations with legal and compliance departments regarding personal health information use in a PHM program.
In the article “Top 10 Steps to Take Before Launching a Population Health Management Program” we shared that legal counsel is an important preparatory step in creating a new population health business unit for an internal employee or member-based accountability program. To target care for a population, the more health information available for the provider, the more appropriate care (right amount of care, right time, right engagement route) can be delivered.
Historically, the EHR has been the primary data source for providers, but with a push to value-based care, the additional data from outside of the EHR found in claims helps drive evidence-based care. Not only do medical and pharmacy claims reveal whether the person is taking appropriate prescriptions or receives age/gender recommended preventative services, but also a lack of claims for a given eligibility list presents more opportunities to target individuals for care.
When obtaining health plan data, remember that sharing protected health information (PHI) must be compliant with HIPAA, HITECH, state privacy laws, Anti-trust and other laws and regulations. This article in no way substitutes for legal guidance but instead is meant to explore uses of health plan data and arrangements the provider may desire that will explain the importance of legal review.

As a marketer, your objectives are clear. In basic terms, you want people to find you on the web, like what they see, and become a customer.
The idea is to enable your customers or potential customers to easily find you and help themselves to the information they require. They can then respond back using comments or social media and a public conversation is started. This creates a network of users, consuming and sharing knowledge and ideas. The more that other people talk about you, the more chance they will become brand ambassadors and more opportunity for you to react more directly to your prospects and customers’ issues, needs, wishes, or ideas.
Inbound marketing pulls content creation, SEO, and social media together in a cohesive and meaningful way to achieve the above – but how can you marry your inbound marketing strategy with your online community?
Great content is essential to any effective social media strategy and is what keeps your customers coming back. In fact, content is the lifeblood behind retuning visits and participation in your online community.
But in a world of content overload, the key is to provide value in your content –content your members will want to discuss and share. Providing value earns trust and it is this trust, which is the foundation to any successful relationship.
You can gather information from your community, which will help in developing ideas for creating this great content. Do certain pieces of content resonate with your community, which can be used? Did last months blog post bring in record numbers of traffic to your website? Were there useful comments, or has a specific audience downloaded your whitepaper? These are all questions that could help in content creation as part of your inbound marketing plans.
Consumers are much more interested in what your customers have to say about your products and services than what you do. That is not to say you cannot create your own content for your community. There is a place for sharing content for amplification of your own messages.
One of the first jobs of your own content is to move from awareness to building trust. Types of content, which help in doing this, are how to documents, testimonials from happy clients, and articles published outside of your organisation – all indirectly promoting your brand, establishing trust, credibility and building relationships.
Observing your customer needs and being aware of the challenges that they face is vital to creating your own great content for your community. Your content should communicate how your products or services address those challenges and needs. Engaging resources such as videos, case studies and infographics are packed with value – and your customers (and potential customers) will find them worth looking at.
Once you have built awareness and trust, educational content then comes into the fold. Here, content such as ebooks, whitepapers and seminars all nurture members interest and keeps them participating and coming back.
What are your customer’s needs? If you don’t know, ask them. Carry out a survey, listen and respond to their responses. Work out how you can this data this to serve them better, and apply this feedback to the content you are creating. Publish FAQs – a great way to show members you understand their needs.
Aggregating content from others is also a great way to show you understand what your customers are facing, and lead me to my next point.
Remember, you don’t have to (and shouldn’t) provide all the content that exists in your online community. Once your community is established, it will be home to loads of great content about your brand, the industry it operates and your products and services. Your members create and share their comments, opinions and concerns, and these conversations are on going over time.
This type of content can include guest blog posts and video testimonials from customers. Not only does this community-contributed content build loyalty, but it also builds the community. Community created content will also give you other possibilities for creating your own content.
Today content curation is big news. We all are content curators; we share articles on Facebook or RT content on Twitter. By sharing curated content in your online community, you are not only providing resources for members to help them in some way, you are providing insight into what they are facing in their business, and also saving them time – by streamlining what they get, and the way they get information. The more valuable information you curate, the more likely they are to return to your online community.
There are so many options for content curation, such as using RSS feeds on specific industry or customer information to share or using tools such as Storify to curate and republish media.
Content is one of the most important components of an SEO strategy. This is true from a user engagement perspective, branding purposes and to rank in the search engines.
Member generated content is great for your SEO, and what’s better is that it doesn’t warrant any concentrated effort on your part – this is why online communities rank really well in search. For example, the keywords in the title, content, and URL are made up of the words your customers choose naturally, to find you online. This makes it easy for others looking for similar information, to also find you, whether they know your brand or not.
Your SEO efforts actually marry with all types of content – whether created by you, curated by you, or your community members. Quality content will ensure you are easily found online and provides the potential to increase your inbound without PPC or high SEO spends.
A further aspect of modern SEO is the inclusion of the semantic web, Google and Bing are increasingly ordering search results based on semantics rather than just keywords and page ranking. We will cover the semantic web in more detail in a separate post.
The world is becoming more collaborative and inbound marketing is marketing’s response to this shift.
With sematic search ranking content for intent, rather than strictly keywords, your content as part of your inbound strategy, has never been more important. What’s more, the creation and distribution of content has become such a significant aspect of effective inbound marketing and community building　- like your blog, social media accounts and SEO efforts, online community is a key piece of a complete inbound strategy, not to be ignored.

This view is echoed in the findings in The State of Social Business 2013: The Maturing of Social Media into Social Business survey, released this month by Brian Solis and Charlene Li at Altimeter Group.
Every year, The Altimeter Group hosts an annual Social Business survey to learn how social media is evolving within enterprise organisations.
Analysis of survey results between 2010-2013 reveal that social media is extending deeper into organisations and, at the same time, strategies are maturing.
In terms of social business maturity, most organisations are “intermediate,” with only 17% who are truly strategic in the execution of their social strategies.
Most dedicated social media teams continue to report to Marketing (40%) or Corporate Communications/PR (26%). But now, 13 different departments around the organisation are seeing dedicated staff work on social initiatives.
Companies are committing more headcount to social media across all sizes of companies. The biggest jump is for companies with more than 100,000 employees, which now report an average of 49 full-time employees (FTEs) supporting social media in the organisation, compared to 20 in 2010.
Measuring the impact of social is maturing, with over half of organisations able to track the impact of social on marketing efforts.
The research revealed a distinct gap between companies that execute social media strategies and those that are truly a social business. A social business as defined in this report is the “deep integration of social media and social methodologies into the organisation to drive business impact.” How do you integrate social media into your marketing strategy? The latest 4 Roads white paper, 'Taking Social Media To The Next Level' examines ways that every organisation– whether commercial, not-for-profit or public sector – can take control of its social business strategy.
With the expansion of social media across the organisation, 25% of strategists planning to increase spending on community platforms, which is already the third biggest social technology spend of 2013, the stage is set for social media to operate in alignment with overall business, business lines and functional goals.
To learn how to make your business truly social, why not book a half-day Social Business Cookery Class, where 4 Roads, and partners Shilbrook Associates will guide you through the process.
This class is also supported by the 4 Roads Social Business Cookbook. This resource offers unique advice on ingredients, tools and methods needed, to enable a social business.

Saturday morning BBC Radio Four (yes I have reached that stage in life where I no longer wake up to Radio One) had a piece on the current Twitter storm around British Gas. To put this into some context for those who are not in Britain – our gas supplies were decoupled from production some years ago and now you can choose whom you buy your gas from independently of where it’s pulled/shaken/sucked out the ground. British Gas is an independent supplier of gas and electricity along with several other big names such as Centrica and EDF.
Straight away anyone with even a little bit of social media nous would know that putting a single voice to answer questions about a very controversial topic would be a bad idea. The head of social media strategy at British Gas must think that Twitter is like a press conference, ordered and controlled. Discussing this on Radio 4 they brought on two experts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03d7v59 @ 43 mins.
The first one recommended that they should have pulled the plug on the Twitter feed immediately (that would have gone down well). The commentator then hits the nail on the head expanding on the fact that if you pretend to be an open social company when you are not then it will quickly been seen through. The second expert then talks about social media departments not having enough powers to be able to handle this type of thing.
I think that the experts completely missed the point and were responding to questions from the perspective of marketing communications, rather than experts that actually understand social and social media. In this social world, businesses have to make a choice, either you are willing to embrace social or you are not.
If you are not willing to embrace it, then your company culture will remain the same and you can use social media to broadcast information and marketing campaigns, but in no way can you use it to have a 2 way conversation other than for basic type scenarios such as support. You can continue to communicate to your employees through existing channels and no one in the company feels empowered.
On the other hand if you embrace social as the culture of your company, a new world of possibilities opens up for you – from better customer service, more ethical business practices to customer driven ideation.
So what do I mean by embrace social? Referring back to our Social Media Cookbook, the seed has to be sown within your company culture, every member of the company must be allowed to have a voice and be social. That’s not to say that every member of staff should be empowered to have a voice on social media – that is a careful policy decision on who you elect to communicate outside of your company onion.
Back to British Gas, should it have done Twitter as it did? No. However, could there have been a discussion with key members of British Gas and the Twitterati where they explained their decisions and reasons? Yes. The latter I think could have only been achieved though, if the staff were social. The chances of success, given the bad news would have been slim, but at least the employees of the company would have had a chance to explain the reasons behind the price rises and would have demonstrated the authenticity. Of course there is a chance that the price rises are unjustifiable and that there are a small number of greedy executives at the top who just want to maximize profits and take whatever they can. In that scenario, if the company was actually more social, I think it would pretty quickly start to lose staff.

A light summer pasta dish with black pepper bacon & feta with red wine vinegar for a kick. A delicious and easy picnic or summer get together side.
4 large fresh Basil leaves chopped.
Cook the pasta according to instructions and drain.
Fry the 8 strips of bacon until crispy.
While the pasta and bacon are cooking, chop the onions into a medium dice.
Next pat the oil from the sun dried tomatoes and either dice them or pulse in a food processor.
When the bacon is done chop into bacon bits.
Chop the basil leaves into small pieces.
Place the pasta in a large bowl and add the bacon, onions, sun dried tomatoes, and basil.
Add feta crumbles, red wine vinegar, and mayo and blend thoroughly with the other ingredients.
This recipe was fun for me to make because it gave me a chance to practice some of what I’ve been learning in cooking school the last few weeks. My chopping skills need lots of practice but I can see myself getting better and more comfortable! I got little plastic cutting boards similar to the ones we’ve been using in class and they’re great for non slip and so handy to fold and use to pour into the prep bowls. I also picked up the little prep bowls after using them in class and seeing how efficient it is to add your ingredients after you’ve chopped each of them to a little bowl and they’re ready to go when you’re ready to prepare the dish! The big game changer for me though were the onion goggles I discovered in class. My eyes are super sensitive to chopping onions and it always gives me fits when I cook. I may look like Elton John when I wear them but the onions won’t go breaking my heart any more!
I love the colors of the recipe and how light it is. Just perfect for a summer meal with the crunch of the bacon (I used black pepper bacon for extra flavor but you can use any kind of bacon.), the creamy but tart feta, and the tang of the mayo and vinegar. Lots of flavors happening here!
This easy pasta salad does require a bit of chopping (Maybe you need practice too? Haha!) but it’s not hard and it’s so versatile- a side for a picnic or as I did low-maintenance meals while the hubs is away!
You can see my Southwest Pasta Salad from last summer here.
Just FYI I’ve been drooling over this for days. FOR DAYS.

In many places walking through a field of wildflowers is a long-forgotten pleasure. In the area around Molino del Santo this is still one of the biggest attractions for a walker and a nature lover.
Some flowers bloom as early as January: the lovely Paper-white Narcissus (Narcissus papyraceus) or the bright blue and yellow Broad-leaved Iris (Iris planifolia) are just two examples. April and May is an explosion of colour and scent. In the summer the Cork, Holm and Portuguese Oak forests can keep your inner naturalist happy while you walk in their shade.
Late spring and summer is also a great season for butterflies: the large and showy Common and Scarce Swallowtails, the iridescent Cardinal or the cheerfully bright Spanish Festoon. Several exciting species of Dragonflies hover around the stream at Molino and the nearby river.
Over 40 species of wild orchids exist in the Ronda mountain area and it is pure joy finding these tiny jewels along the paths. Many wildflowers surprise with their exotic looks: the bright pink wild Peony (Paeonia broteroi and the rarer Paeonia coriacea), the long-stemmed Spanish Iris (Iris xiphium) or the lavish-looking Portuguese squill (Scilla Peruviana, a famous misnomer by Linnaeus as the plant reached him from Spain on a ship named “Peru”).
Take a break from the abundance of plants and seek out the beautiful Ocellated Lizard or the photogenic Large Psammodromus as they bask in the sun. And if you keep scanning the surrounding crags you have a good chance of spotting the long-horned Spanish Ibex, the wild mountain goat which could be considered a symbol of the Ronda mountains.
Molino del Santo is perfectly located for exploring the wildlife of the Parques Naturales. The hotel ´s immediate surroundings (for example the river banks – a five minute walk from Molino) are exceptionally rich in flora and fauna.

Many doctors refuse Medicare patients because payments are so low.
1) Medicare is going bankrupt. The Medicare Trustees estimate that the program will run short of money starting in 2017. Medicare will drown in a sea of red ink, with spending over the next 75 years outpacing dedicated revenues by nearly $38 trillion.
2) Private payers are bailing out Medicare. According to Milliman, an independent actuarial firm, Medicare—and to an even greater extent, Medicaid—underpays doctors and hospitals, shifting costs to private insurers. Milliman estimates that the average family in a private PPO health plan pays an additional $1,788 a year to compensate for underpayments by Medicare and Medicaid, representing a "hidden tax" on commercial payers totaling $89 billion a year.
Providers could not keep their doors open without the higher payments from private insurers. A recent letter to Congress from 13 leading health-care delivery organizations, including the Mayo Clinic, said "many providers suffer great financial losses associated with treating Medicare patients." They said that if these rates were expanded to patients who currently have private insurance, the result "will be unsustainable for even the nation's most efficient, high quality providers, eventually driving them out of the market." That means we would say goodbye to some of the best health-care systems in the country.
3) Expansion of entitlement programs threatens our economic security. Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf broke the bad news in July. Reform legislation before Congress would worsen the federal government's already bleak budget outlook, increase the deficit, and drive the nation more deeply into debt. Instead of bending the cost curve down, Mr. Elmendorf told senators their reform proposal would "significantly increase" costs.
4) Low administrative costs are a mirage. The claim that Medicare's administrative costs are only 3% is fantasy. If all Medicare costs—such as revenue collection, personnel and enforcement—were accounted for, its administrative expenses would be at least twice as high. And it still wouldn't be providing services private insurers do, such as nurse hotlines, decision-support tools and fraud detection, or paying the income, property and provider taxes that private plans must pay.
5) Medicare is rife with fraud. According to the FBI, between 3% and 10% of all health spending is lost to health-care fraud. Despite the president's promise this money could be recaptured to pay for his reform agenda, Congress has shown itself to be remarkably incapable of curtailing fraud and abuse in government health programs.
6) Medicare short-changes seniors. Medicare exposes patients to unmanageable costs if they become seriously ill—even limiting the total number of days a patient may spend in the hospital. The program covers only about 50% of the health costs of seniors, and most have supplemental insurance to fill in the gaps. This is not a model for comprehensive coverage.
7) Medicare's model is obsolete. Its basic benefit structure uses a fee-for-service model designed in 1965 which has not been altered since, except to add prescription drug coverage almost 40 years later. In contrast, private plans are continually evolving. They create incentives for patients to become more informed about their health choices, and offer innovative programs for disease management, wellness and prevention, and care coordination to improve quality and save money.
8) Payments are too low. Washington decides how much doctors, hospitals and other providers will be paid down to the smallest detail, with mountains of regulation and paperwork to track the politically driven process. Medical professionals are in a perpetual battle with Congress over their payment rates, and many physicians refuse to accept new Medicare patients because payment rates are so low. With few exceptions, Medicare's solution to cost containment is the club of price-controls, not innovation and efficiency.
9) Medical decisions are made in Washington. Patients and their doctors are slowly losing the ability to decide what course of treatment is best. Medicare's decisions to cut funding for the cancer drug EPO, implantable cardiac defibrillators and virtual colonoscopies, for example, have led to epic battles between providers and politicians, while patients and their doctors watch from the sidelines. Medical decisions, which should be made by doctors and patients, are being made by politicians.
10) No one is running the show. If the government is so good at running health-care programs, why has the Obama administration not yet nominated an administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services? These government health programs cover 100 million Americans—the largest health insurance plans in the country—and yet the top office is vacant.
Medicare has undeniably guaranteed that all seniors have health coverage, even if that coverage is not as good as advertised. But the program is in trouble. Even though it has a blank check funded by federal revenues, Medicare will not be able to pay all the hospital bills that come in eight years from now. If you think that's bad, just wait until 70 million baby boomers turn 65 and drive federal budget deficits into the stratosphere.
Instead of pretending that Medicare is the best model for the country, policy makers should recognize that the program is as much in need of reform as the rest of the health system. Before we give the federal government authority over health coverage for tens of millions more Americans, shouldn't the government prove it can do a better job with the "public plan" we already have?

In case you do not know the “title” laird is an honour title given to people who owes land in Scotland that is registered under Section 4b of the Registration of Land (Scotland) Act (1979). In this case you then would have the land legally transferred to you at which point you can call yourself “Amazing Dude” of Wherever.
The second problem with these is when they claim you can call yourself a lord as both Laird and Lard comes from the Latin word – Laverd. Within the United Kingdom (and Scotland is still within the United Kingdom for now) the title “Lord” can only be given by the Sovereign, aka the state, which is a part of the ancient system in which you need to be a friend of the people in Government, loads of money or have a good mouth to become a member off. Lairds on the other hand are a member of the Landed Gentry and thus two different things. So go ahead and claim you are a lord to the United Kingdom and be see if they will arrest you for fraud, unless those documents these companies send you are deed polls so you only legally only add Lord to your first name such as Lord Nemo which would make Mr Lord Nemo look a bit daft.
The next thing and I am going to wrap this up as I could go on all day is there can only be one person that is a Laird of a certain area and not millions. More so if this was actually real (I would say legal but it is legal, just dishonest) you would find a lot of reviews out there confirming this.
The last thing is respect. By going around calling yourself Laird when you are not is really disrespecting Scotland’s culture. This is nothing more than buying a title that isn’t even a title and a term given in respect. Waste your money if you want but if you are still thinking about buying this, I can make you a member of the Justice League for a fiver and that looks SO much better.
If you are still interested in getting one for whatever purpose, you can Become a Laird on Amazon.

Middlesex philosophy closure. Part of a wider struggle.
Many have already rightly spoken in outrage that Middlesex’s renowned philosophy department is to be closed. The department is the home of our finest hub of continental philosophy and political theory in the UK. During the recent Haiti quake, Professor Peter Hallward was the number one commentator from a critical perspective in the news, reminding the viewers of both the history of U.S. intervention and disempowerment of the people by multinational agencies such as the UN. Hallward also almost single-handedly introduced the philosophy of Alain Badiou to the English speaking world. He is not alone; the department is full of interesting and enaged academics working on the cutting edge of critical thinking. The journal, Radical Philosophy, is edited mainly by academics in the department. The graduate students there are often highly influential in the political activites of the left in London. The closure is thus a clear blow—if it is allowed to happen—to the leftwing cause in Britain.
At the same time, it is important for those upset by this news to place it in perspective. Whatever party wins at the coming election, there are going to be massive, and I mean massive, job losses and departmental closures across the country. We haven’t even began to feel the pinch yet. And those who will likely face the axe before any others are the experimental thinkers, critical theorists and Marxists. Alongside creating a greater army of reserve labour and probably rehiring staff a few years on with sessional contracts that, obviously, pay much lower wages, it is inevitable that universities will also use this process to purge the troublesome amongst their midst.
There are already plans for a campaign to prevent the closure. A Facebook group has swollen almost overnight to thousands of members, and the first rally is planned for tomorrow. There are two things I would like to add immediately though as a contribution to these efforts.
Firstly, the prevention of the closure should not be framed in the limited language of managerialism and educational bureacracy. This can be helpful for pointing out hypocricy, but does not help align the cause with a wider struggle in which RAE scores and such like will be used as criteria for the shutting down of the vast majority of other departments. Preventing this closure needs to be done in such a way that it can found solidarity across the educational sector; and bring with it the possibility of a more transformative agenda too. Dean of the School of Arts and Education is on record as advising that companies have input into university curriculums, and that student projects should deal with issues currently facing real businesses. Of course, none of this implies that said companies will actually pay students’ fees, reimburse them for their research during their studies, or guarantee a job. As such, the encroachment of this kind of thinking into academia should be a prominent part of the struggle to prevent the closures.
I wanted to just say I agree with you that this is part of a wider struggle, but also wanted to add that I think that universities like Middlesex providing philosophy programmes is part of a recognition that students from working class backgrounds can have access to philosophy and can think. At a time when the counter-revolutionary tropes of the working class as ‘canailles’ are recirculating in new malignant forms (‘chav’), the work of Middlesex is part of this kind of struggle. Coming from a working class background and now being an academic I think this kind of possibility is being cynically and systematically closed.
Certainly you’re right this is part of a struggle, and a continuation of neoliberal ‘shock doctrine, and I agree we need to make this resonance clear and to avoid anti-intellectualism and elitism. To quote Ranciere ‘everyone thinks’, and philosophy can and should be a place to make this evident, when all too often it has been a place to attack and diminish the working class, and all those ‘marginal’ to the usual power structures.

Here is a FREE interactive notebook to help you teach division of whole numbers leading to answers with fractions in a fun, hands-on way.
It really surprised me. They were completely baffled, The problem had seemed simple, but the looks I was getting let me know I was wrong. It really wasn’t as easy as I had thought.
There are 4 rabbits, but you only have 3 carrots. How can you feed each of them the same amount of carrots?
Seeing their confused faces, and lack of knowing where to start…. I knew some intervention was needed. A little, hands-on type intervention.
I created four-word problems involving food. Children relate to feeding themselves, and I’m sure they have figured out in the past how to share something when there wasn’t enough. If you want to start even more hands-on, you could provide the actual cookies.
Give four students three cookies, and tell them they have to share it so that each kid gets the exact same amount. See what they come up with!!!
However you decide to do it, here are a few things you will want to remind your kiddos before you start.
When you divide, your answer must be in equal parts.
The dividend, or what is being divided up, is ALWAYS the first number in a division expression or equation. This will throw them if this is the first time seeing this. We are most comfortable seeing the first number of the expression as the larger number, not the smaller number.
Yes, you could simply teach them that the dividend becomes the numerator and the divisor becomes the denominator. What have you really taught them? Do they understand why this happens? A month down the road are they going to remember what to do when there are more rabbits than carrots? Probably not.
*This post contains affiliate links. Many are from Amazon.com.
Simply work through the problems with the kiddos on the free download.
1. Start by creating an expression with the pictures. I have to divide up three hot dogs. That is my dividend, so I will cut out three hotdogs and write the number three on the first line of my expression.
2. Four people want a hotdog. That is my divisor, so I will glue on four people and write the number 4 is my equation.
3.Now I have 3 ÷ 4.
So 3 divided by 4 equals three-fourths.
At this point, I would highly recommend using the algorithm. If you have talked about changing remainders into decimals, then the students will quickly see how this works.
If you haven’t, this video is an awesome place to start.
Now all you have to do is repeat these steps three more times, and you will be on your way to knocking out those baffled looks when there are more rabbits than carrots.

The left column of the dashboard used to have two panels, one for "running" processes and one for "recently completed" process. However, as part of the "work unit" changes, this was turned into a single "recent pipelines and processes" panel. Unfortunately, a long running (but not yet completed) process can get pushed off the bottom if other smaller processes complete in the mean time. I consider this a regression. It should prioritize for display tasks which are still running.
The original change described in this ticket sounds like a regression. What story was that associated with?

1/ I can’t afford insurance- This very well might be the #1 misconception of insurance, but it’s not true. True, not every single insurance option may be affordable for you, but many will be, and that’s why comparing different plans is so important. With term life insurance, for example, how long do you need coverage for? For 10 or 20 more years, or until the age of 100? Knowing the different options can help save you a lot of money.
2/ Insurance is too expensive- Related to myth #1, but not quite the same. Money may not grow on trees, and insurance is an additional expense, but consider the alternative to term life insurance. How would your funeral costs be covered if there were no savings? How would your children afford to go to university if there were no savings? These questions are reminders that while insurance may not be free, it helps protect the most important people in your life.
3/ My work already provides life insurance- This is a tricky one, because it may or may not be true, depending on your situation and your needs. What kind of coverage does your employer offer, and how much does it cover? It’s important to ask your Human Resources department at work for the answers to these questions, because there are many employers which provide life insurance to staff, but frequently it falls far short of what’s actually needed.
The best place to start looking for term life insurance is SeniorSurance.com, where you can receive free quotes, and even ask experts for their thoughts about which plan might be right for you.

Springtime brings a sense of renewal to Minnesota, especially in downtown Minneapolis where the Minnesota Twins begin their home schedule in April at Target Field, named one of the top 10 MLB ballparks in the country. The ambiance at Target Field is something to behold, from the terrific sounds of the organists playing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” to the sound of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” when Miguel Sano drives a bomb deep to left, to the absolutely gorgeous skyline of Minneapolis in right field. Also sample some of the unique Minnesota fare, including local craft beer, walleye and chips, a bratwurst from Kramaraczuk’s, or a bloody mary adorned with a slice of pizza. Target Field is a destination for any baseball enthusiast, or anyone looking for a family-friendly outing.
Speaking of spectacular places to watch a ballgame, CHS Field in St. Paul’s hip Lowertown neighborhood opened in 2015, and is home to the St. Paul Saints.

If you've never seen a roller derby bout live, now's the time. The Minnesota RollerGirls consists of four teams, who battle it out at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown St. Paul. The North Star Roller Girls have a similar multi-team format and compete at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
One the edge of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area is Elko Speedway. This 3/8-mile asphalt track is the premier NASCAR track in Minnesota. Come and enjoy the excitement of drivers racing in pursuit of the checkered flag. Elko Speedway’s schedule runs from late spring to early fall.
Horse racing is also a staple of the Minneapolis-St. Paul sports scene. Live racing begins in May at Canterbury Park. This track is home to some of the best thoroughbred horse racing in the Upper Midwest. Another great venue to watch live horse racing is Running Aces Harness Park in Columbus.

We must not be surprised if Han Ryner, the latest follower of Epictetus, is also a gifted poet. Stoicism, which for the reporters of daily papers is a synonym of pathological insensibility, may be a source of great poetry. To believe this it suffices to have read the inspired hymn, in which Cleantus celebrates the harmonious order of the Universe, under the name of Zeus. What, on the contrary, must astonish and delight us is the quality of Han Ryner’s poetry, quite unusual nowadays? He has not written many poems, and he is the first (however wrongly, according to some critics) to judge them mediocre. But he is surely a poet, in the original and noblest meaning of the word, when he writes prose, for then he possesses the essential quality of the poet: to be a creator of myths.
Endowed with a singularly fervid, ingenious, and picturesque fancy, and with a mind which can understand, without deforming them by narrow prejudices or by impulsive antipathies, the most different philosophical conceptions, as a clear lake reflects faithfully the innumerable shapes of the clouds, Han Ryner has practically expressed in admirable allegories and parables most of the inward life of men. And his art is as plastic and multiform as that life.
But Han Ryner does not only laugh at the intellectual barriers of men; he who, as we shall see, has a very high ethical ideal, lashes without restraint the meanness, the violence, the moral blindness of men. Some of the scenes he paints are said by a critic to be “d’une grandeur vraiment Dantesque,” and after having read “ Les Pitaniates identiques,” “ Les Laborieux,” “ Les Fantômes,” I do not think that the critic exaggerates.
Psychodore succeeds with much difficulty, in escaping from the Pitaniates and in going where “les hommes doués d’une pudeur plus continue, ne quittent jamais leur masque.” Another time Psychodore arrives amongst the “ Laborious,” unhappy beings whose entrails are visible, and whose thousand arms are toiling without rest in contracting the heart, in dilating and compressing the lungs, and in satisfying all the other innumerable needs of physical life-beings who are for Psychodore the image of so many human souls, “faites de mille troubles, torturées de mille besognes, dispersées en mille petites mains de fibre.” Even these short hints are sufficient to show that the myths created by Han Ryner are not idle games of fancy, iridescent and fragile soap-bubbles, but august symbols of profound moral truths.
What is, then Han Ryner’s philosophical position? It may be hinted by saying that his ideas have all the amplitude and mobility of those of a modern Epictetus. He likes to call himself an “individualist,” but he gives to that word a very different meaning from that generally given to it. In his “Petit manuel indi- vidualiste”-a short synthesis of his conception of life, under the form of an inward dialogue he clearly indicates his own position: “ J’entends par indi- vidualisme la doctrine morale qui ne s’appuyant sur aucun dogme, sur aucune tradition, sur aucune volonté extérieure, ne fait appelqu’ à la conscience indi- viduelle.” This defence of inward experience coincides with what many mystics have written.
With these Han Ryner continues to agree entirely when he fights against the pretended individualists that are now in vogue. He says, in fact, that often the name of individualism has been given to “appearances of doctrines” intended to cover with a philosophical mask a vile selfishness or a conquering and aggressive selfish- ness. Amongst the false individualists he puts Stendhal and Nietzsche, amongst the true ones instead Socrates, Epicurus, Jesus, and Epictetus.
This connection between Jesus and Epicurus will certainly cause the turning up of many noses; it is really somewhat strange, but we must not forget that Han Ryner speaks of the true picture, not of his Roman or modern caricatures. Besides, Han Ryner himself puts Epicurus on a lower level than the three others; in fact, elsewhere he says that the road to perfection leads to Epictetus passing by Epicurus.
Of Han Ryner’s other works I will name in the first place “Les Chrétiens et les Philosophes.” This delightful book contains a series of conversations that might have taken place amongst philosophers of every school, and amongst them and some Christians, on the road from Rome to Ostia, when Domitian banished from Italy all the philosophers or the so-called philosophers. From the first chapter, entitled “ Un Magis- trat comparait devant un homme libre ”-in which Epictetus exposes the substance of his doctrines to the Roman praetor who imparts to him the order of exile – to the last one, in which the pretended philosophers of every school agree only in trying to let an injustice be committed against Epicurus, it is an uninterrupted sequence of little comical scenes, of noble conversations, of subtle disquisitions amongst Epicurus, Serenus, and Serena (the representatives of high epicureanism), the senator Caius Crufer, surnamed Porcus (who represents its most vulgar side), Theophilus (a Christian with an ardent faith and a limited mind), Historicus, and many other masterly moulded figures.
Han Ryner has written many novels, of which I will name only “La folie de Misère,” a powerful analysis of an abnormal mind; “Le soupçon,” another masterly study in psychopathology, in which are described the aberrations caused by a morbid jealousy; “L’homme-fourmi,” a work full of delightful irony, in which are related the adventures of a good clerk transformed into an ant; “La fille manquée,” a most daring and subtle study of an omosexual; and lastly, “Le crime d’obéir” and the “Sphinx rouge,” in both of which the conflict between the rigid stoic individualism and the ordinary social moral creates tragical situations.
Very little will I say about the man. Han Ryner is a strong and disdainful recluse, who does not stop to flatter any social idol. And naturally society fights against him with all its refined ferocity. So the Parisian literary men and critics, to whom he has told such truths as cannot be forgiven, have created around him the conspiracy of silence and have succeeded in keeping him almost unknown, helped by his strong repugnance against any personal réclame.
I will relate a little scene which clearly shows this most rare peculiarity of his character. Some time ago we were together in a vulgar café of the Boulevard St. Germain. He had talked to me a long while, exposing with ardent and picturesque words his original interpretations of the Greek philosophers. When, a little tired, he stopped, I asked him abruptly: “ As you know, I intend to write about you. Will you give me some biographical details?” His face darkened and he answered drily : “ Non, non, je n’ai pas de biographie.” And he began again, immediately soothed, to talk about the relations between the Stoics and the Pythagoreans. So I could not tell him that the deep wrinkles of his face seemed strangely to belive his words. . . .

The Government has been trying to increase New Zealander's saving rates for some time.
Successive retirement commissioners have been warning for years about savings shortfalls in retirement. The message was highlighted again last week by the Massey University Fin-Ed Centre.
Their research findings, reported by the NZ Herald, once again underscored that for all but the most thrifty folks living in the provinces, NZ Super was not nearly enough for a comfortable retirement.
Depending on where you lived in the country, and the kind of lifestyle you wanted, Massey's research found that you'd need anywhere between $263,000 and $785,000 as a lump sum at 65 to bridge the difference between what you could expect from the NZ Super and what you actually might need.
For single households, the range was $193k and $774k, depending on where you chose to live and what kind of a lifestyle you desired. All estimates assume these targeted savings amounts excluded mortgage or rents, another financial concern that faces many heading into retirement.
The repeated message to Kiwi savers is to take a greater interest in and understanding of your savings plan and figure out if you're on track to have enough.
Until today, KiwiSaver members have had the option of paying 3%,4% or 8% of their salary into their accounts. Effective April 1st, two additional rates (6% and 10%) have been added to encourage a higher rate of saving.
Employers are only required to contribute 3% and the minimum mandatory for wage and salary earners will remain at 3% gross salary.
Among other changes coming into effect are a cap on 'contribution holidays' which will now be referred to as a "savings suspension." Previously you could take a 'holiday' from KiwiSaver for up to five years at a time. Now, the exemption period is for one year, with the ability to reapply each year for up to five. The aim is to prevent people from slipping intentionally (or unintentionally) into a costly break from KiwiSaver.
Assuming a modest rate of return, someone on an average salary of $50,000 a year, taking a 'holiday' for five years, could wind up costing themselves around $18,000 in reduced savings over that time. When you take into account the skipped contributions from your pay pack, your employer's portion and the missed member tax credits PLUS the expected returns, it takes a little shine of that holiday.
Another notable change for members that kicks in April 1st is a renaming of the "member tax credit" to Government contribution. With more than one million members failing to take advantage of the maximum entitlement of $521, Government is hoping a name change could be more conducive to people taking advantage of the facility.
Remember that for every $1 you contribute, the Government will match that by .50C up to a maximum of $521. To be eligible you'll need to be in KiwiSaver for a minimum of 12 months but if you're under that you'll still receive partial credits.
Importantly, you'll need to do this before the cut off of June 30th as the calendar cut off by the IRD is July 1st. Remember to make your contributions well before June 30th to allow for bank processing times.

Situated primarily on a peninsula between Florida's Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Pinellas County, along with its many beaches and keys, is in an ideal location to take advantage of Florida's inshore fishery. The structures around piers, as well as the manner in which they allow anglers to get out over deeper water, give Pinellas County pier fishermen a distinct advantage over shore anglers.
The Redington Long Pier (tampabayfishingpier.com) extends 1,200 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. A privately operated facility, the pier charges a daily-use fee --- an annual pass is available for purchase --- but no fishing license is required for anglers on the pier. A number of amenities, such as sun shelters, benches, a concession stand and a full-service bait and tackle shop are available. Common Florida inshore species, such as redfish, snook and flounder, are typical catches for anglers who use the pier.
Billing themselves as "the world's longest fishing piers," the Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier State Park's (skywayfishingpiers.com) piers are actually the closed portion of the old causeway over Tampa Bay. The newer bridges, built in 1970, still are open to freeway traffic. Anglers who pay the entrance fee can drive out to their chosen fishing location and drop a line into the mouth of Tampa Bay where it mingles with the open Gulf of Mexico. The piers are open 24 hours a day, and each pier has its own full service bait and tackle shop. Shark, tarpon and kingfish are common target species from the piers.
One of Pinellas County's longest piers extending into the waters of Tampa Bay --- rather than the Gulf of Mexico. St. Petersburg Pier (stpetepier.com) has been accommodating anglers, including avian fishermen like pelicans, since 1923. Offering everything from equipment rentals to fishing charters, the Pier Baithouse (thepierbaithouse.com) is a full-service bait and tackle shop that's open every day, year-round. Suffering from more fishing pressure than some of the other county piers, anglers still have success working the structure around the pilings. Snook, sheepshead and other inshore species are common.
Owned and operated by Clearwater Beach, Pier 60 (pier60fishing.com) is a premier destination for catching trophy snook. The pier's fishing report notes that 20-lb. snook are pulled over the railing on a near-daily basis. Open 24 hours per day, seven days a week, from April through September, Pier 60 offers shaded pavilions, rod rentals and a bait and tackle shop. No license is necessary, and you may keep the fish you catch from this licensed pier.
