The Poetry Foundation is pleased to announce that poet Marie Ponsot has won the 2013 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize.
Presented annually to a living U.S. poet whose lifetime accomplishments warrant extraordinary recognition, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize is one of the most prestigious awards given to American poets. At $100,000, it is also one of the nation’s largest literary prizes. Established in 1986, the prize is sponsored and administered by the Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine. The prize will be presented at the Pegasus Awards ceremony, along with the announcement of the new Children’s Poet Laureate, at the Poetry Foundation on Monday, June 10.
“How fitting that the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, named for poetry’s greatest benefactor, should this year honor Marie Ponsot, a woman who has herself made such major contributions to American poetry,” said John Barr, president of the Poetry Foundation.
Born in 1921 in New York, poet and translator Marie Ponsot has published six poetry collections, including The Bird Catcher (1998), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the 1999 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize. Her other collections include Easy (2009), Springing (2002), The Green Dark (1988), Admit Impediment (1981), and True Minds (1957). With Rosemary Deen, Ponsot co-authored a guide to teaching writing, Beat Not the Poor Desk (1982). She has translated more than 30 books into English from French for children and adults, including the titles Love & Folly: Selected Fables and Tales of La Fontaine (2002), and The Golden Book of Fairy Tales (1958).
Eleven of Ponsot’s poems will be included in a portfolio in the May 2013 issue of Poetry. Ponsot first appeared in Poetry in June 1957, and her poem “Anti-Romantic,” from Poetry’s March 1958 issue, was included in Poetry’s centennial anthology, The Open Door: 100 Poems, 100 Years of Poetry Magazine (2012). She will participate in a reading celebrating the centennial anthology on Monday, April 8, at 8:15pm at the 92nd Street Y in New York, where fellow anthology contributors Frank Bidart, Thomas Sayers Ellis, Mary Karr, Atsuro Riley, and Charles Wright will read along with editors Christian Wiman and Don Share.
Ponsot has been honored with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Shaughnessy Medal of the Modern Language Association, and the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Prize. She was elected as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets in 2010. She has taught at Beijing United University, New York University, Columbia University, and Queens College. The mother of seven children, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother, Ponsot lives in New York City.
Previous recipients of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize are Adrienne Rich, Philip Levine, Anthony Hecht, Mona Van Duyn, Hayden Carruth, David Wagoner, John Ashbery, Charles Wright, Donald Hall, A.R. Ammons, Gerald Stern, William Matthews, W.S. Merwin, Maxine Kumin, Carl Dennis, Yusef Komunyakaa, Lisel Mueller, Linda Pastan, Kay Ryan, C.K. Williams, Richard Wilbur, Lucille Clifton, Gary Snyder, Fanny Howe, Eleanor Ross Taylor, David Ferry, and W.S. Di Piero.
American poetry has no greater friend than Ruth Lilly. Over many years and in many ways, it has been blessed by her personal generosity. In 1985 she endowed the Ruth Lilly Professorship in Poetry at Indiana University. In 1989 she created Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowships, for $15,000 each, given annually by the Poetry Foundation to undergraduate or graduate students selected through a national competition. In 2002 her lifetime engagement with poetry culminated in a magnificent bequest that will enable the Poetry Foundation to promote, in perpetuity, a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture.
The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine, is an independent literary organization committed to a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture. It exists to discover and celebrate the best poetry and to place it before the largest possible audience. The Poetry Foundation seeks to be a leader in shaping a receptive climate for poetry by developing new audiences, creating new avenues for delivery, and encouraging new kinds of poetry through innovative literary prizes and programs.

Wasn’t planning on buying stuff last weekend, but the church rummage sale was only a few miles from my house. So convenient! I got there a few minutes before the sale started and was at the end of a long line of folks (30 or so). When the doors opened and we all trooped/sprinted in, the jewelry table quickly became mobbed so I headed for the knick-knack/holiday decoration tables. I was hoping to find some vintage Christmas or Halloween decorations…perhaps a box of 1950s glass ornaments!
This stuff can be like gold! Alas, alas, no luck. Darn!
But still I felt there was something here on these tables for me. SOMETHING!
And then I spotted what I thought were two old wood cookie molds. You know the kind that make those delicious German springerle cookies. (Cool.) And a small vintage ceramic Mexican owl figurine. (Fab.) And later an artisan-made ceramic vase. (Super.) Not a huge haul, but I was happy with my finds. All nice things with a bit of age.
In the car reviewing my purchases, I noticed that the carving in my cookie mold had Chinese characters…hmmm, perhaps NOT a cookie mold. After a few minutes research I discovered theses are Chinese rice cake molds. One is obviously old and has the beautiful wear and patina of decades of usage. That’s what drew me to it! It has soul.
Here’s the older mold. I’m guessing it’s 60+ years old.
And my Mexican ceramic owl had a tiny maker’s mark. I happily discovered that the “underlined W” mark is for Mexican artist Jorge Wilmot. (“Born 1928 and died 2012, he was one of the most distinguished artisans of Mexico, and has been credited with the introduction of stoneware and other high fire techniques to the country.” – wikipedia) This little owl is not one of his high-end pieces, but still it’s quite charming!
The signature on the ceramic tree vase is still a mystery, but the vase shows real skill. I’ll keep researching it, but regardless of who made it, it is attractive and perfect for fall. Don’t you think?
Later I made a quick stop into Goodwill and found this mid-century Figgjo-Flint, Norway, Turi-Design ceramic skillet. Love the graphics on this.
I know some people come away from a rummage sale or a thrift store with bags of stuff. BAGS. That almost never happens to me. But I am happy when I find a few things…a few GOOD things…that go on to good homes and other lives!!
Anyway, had a great time finding my weekend treasures and now it’s back to the not-so-fun stuff…like packing up and shipping a globe. Thankfully I have the perfect-sized box and tons of packing peanuts!
How about you? Find any treasures this past weekend??
Just picked up four boxes of vintage Christmas ornaments for a dollar per box. Turns out there are West German, Shiny Brite, and Rauch Ind. among the mix. There are about 80 total.

This weekend husband and I spent 3 days in Edinburgh, Scotland. We got home late last night and would give our right arms to have stayed another 3 days. Edinburgh was immense. Even when I went through our photos this morning, I had a tough time narrowing down which ones to share. I whittled it down to 24. And even that was a struggle.
We flew over early Friday morning and checked into The Glasshouse Hotel, all sneakily booked and organised by husband. He did good.
When we checked in, we were bumped up to a delux suite which was nothing short of lush. At the end of each day we longed nothing more than to go back to our hotel room. After walking 10+ hours, all we could think about was the larger than life bath tub and fluffy bed which were perfect for getting over the bitter weather. Less than a 10 minute walk from the centre, if you find yourself in Edinburgh, I strongly suggest you stay here. It’s luxury.
When we hit the streets of Edinburgh on Friday, I was rather pleasantly surprised to spy my favourite colour. Everywhere! Edinburgh had a running theme of my favourite berry hue. I’m assuming this is the city’s colour, as it was everywhere. But you won’t hear me complaining. I did however wreck husbands head by pointing it out at every opportunity.
I don’t know what we were expecting from Edinburgh, but we weren’t expecting what we found. The buildings, the streets, the scale and the history. And the buildings. Did I mention the buildings? Edinburgh was a feast for my eyes.
On Friday we took a bus tour around the city and further wandered for hours around Our Dynamic Earth, the Scottish Parliament Buildings, and the Palace of Holyrood. Stopping and creeping and photographing. We had bright blue skies met with bitter cold. We weren’t well prepared for the cold so sitting on the open-top tour bus took its toll. It snowed in the late evening but as we love snow, it just made is squeee an embarrassing amount. We walked up Calton Hill before retiring to our hotel. We were so cold that we basically slipped into hibernation the moment we got to our room.
The next day we were a bit more prepared for the cold. It was a colder day, but as we wore all the clothes we packed, we were warmer. I wore my dress, skirt, 2 scarves, 2 pairs of tights, hat, faux fur thing, gloves and coat and I even used my own hair as insulation inside my coat. We were still cold. But it was a good excuse to stop in for whisky and hot beverages every chance we could. We ate haggis [which I now adore. I found it to be a cross between white and black pudding] and drank all the Innis & Gunn.
The view from Edinburgh Castle was immense. I can’t even. Snowy mountains, mismatched rooftops, spires and even a soldiers’ dog graveyard. This and the tale of Greyfriars Bobby got us right in the feels.
We wandered up and down The Royal Mile, visited the Games Masters exhibit in The National Museum of Scotland, and stopped in for lunch at the Whiski Rooms. Again with the Edinburgh berry. On point. Oh and though it’s more of a Glasgow thing I think, we indulged in a deep fried Mars bar. And I thought it was heaven.
We visited the Edinburgh Dungeon at night which was equal parts creepy, informative and terrifying. We could have done with a few more days in Edinburgh, but we managed to pack in a serious amount in the 3 days we were here.
Edinburgh, you blew our minds. We will be back.
I loved Princes street. Old on one side, new on the other.
I am very much in agreeance.
Yay! I always feel particularly spoilt getting to live in Edinburgh.
Now that you've got the big sights out of the way, you'll have to come back for an antiques and charity shop trawl!
YES! I've heard of the illusive Edinburgh charity shop routes! Since we only had 3 days, I didn't want to subject husband to it. As you say, it deserves a trip of its own.
p.s. You are so lucky to be living in Edinburgh. It's beautiful.
Wow, your photos are beautiful! So glad you had such an amazing time! I feel an Edinburgh trip in my future!
Love that picture of you with ALL your clothes on! Very cute berry hat too.
I've always wanted to try a deep fried Mars bar, I know I'd love it… mmm!
Oh Maria. Deep fried Mars bars are so gooey and just perfect. I could have had 3 of them, but I fear I wouldn't have been able to close my already bursting coat.
It was so cold that we really did need to wear ALL OF THE CLOTHES. I also think I'm losing my Canadian tolerance for cold, which was mostly embarrassing because I made a deal out of it being only -7.
I really should have called this post 'Edin-burrrrrrr'.
I know, terrible. I'll resign now.

Blower door testing is a way to test the "leakiness" of your home. By depressurizing your home and measuring the rate at which air infiltrates through imperfections in the building envelope, we're able to assess how much energy (and money) is escaping through air leaks, and how much you're likely to save by fixing those leaks. As part of this process, we will inspect the house with a smoke stick and/or thermal imaging equipment to pinpoint potentially hidden air leaks (making it much easier to address them when the time comes to get to work). We also offer blower door testing as an isolated service to test the effectiveness of improvements that have been made to a home, and to provide homeowners and contractors with a roadmap to further improve a home's efficiency moving forward.
Finally, blower door testing with a manometer can identify potential issues with indoor air quality by providing information on air exchange rates or air entering the living space from poor sources such as garages, crawl spaces and attics.

New York immigration lawyer gets $1 million malpractice penalty | Andrew Rubin, Esq.
On behalf of Andrew Rubin, Esq. posted in Legal Malpractice Law on Friday, April 20, 2012.
A Morningside Heights, New York, immigration attorney has been ordered to pay $1 million dollars in civil penalties after being accused of botching an immigration case. The man's client, a Venezuelan native, was reportedly left in immigration detention for more than one year as the case played out.
The Venezuelan man alleged in the legal malpractice suit that the attorney let a paralegal friend use his credentials to get her own clients under the guise of a real law office. The man said he believed he was represented by the attorney, when in fact he was represented by his paralegal friend who was not qualified to take the case.
The attorney has denied the allegations and has said he plans to appeal. He says that the paralegal would do his client's paperwork, but that he would appear in court himself as the lawyer and that his client was aware of this arrangement.
The Venezuelan man had come to the attorney for help after he overstayed a tourist visa. He was set to marry an American woman and he needed to get his immigration status in order. The man says that his legal counsel told him not to attend a Newark court hearing. But after he did not attend, he was ordered to be deported. The lawyer said that the client made his own decision not to attend the hearing.
The man ended up spending more than 400 days in jail and he lost his job after his work permit was revoked. After he was released, the federal government ruled that he had the right to stay in the country.
Trust and communication are vital to an attorney-client relationship. When someone hires a lawyer, he or she has the right to expect that the lawyer is competent and meets the standards of practice. When a lawyer has failed to act professionally and competently, the consequences can be dire. Clients of such lawyers have the right to legal recourse.

An Invitation to Question: How Can Music Education Become a More Dialogical Space?
Is music an expression of our reality or the creation of our reality? Where does technique meet possibility and where does learning meet technique? How can multiple truths and multiple perspectives exist in the same co-created space, and how can we express these multiple truths and perspectives with and through music? These are a few of the questions that were explored in this year’s Improvisation Class during the Cultures in Harmony-Atlas Music Festival. The festival, held in Tunisia in the small town of Beni Mtir near the mountainous border with Algeria, seeks to implement Track II Diplomacy in the form of cultural diplomacy between Americans and the West, and Tunisians and the MENA region.
Now for those musicians and music educators getting ready to run for it after these last sentences, don’t go anywhere just yet! Join me for a moment in questioning not what music education is, but rather what it could be. I believe there are possibilities in which a youth musician achieves musical greatness, and musical creator. And in this process it is not only the responsibility of the musician or music educator, but as well the youth musician. How does a music educator create this type of dialogical space with her or his students? What are the benefits of doing so in the first place? And finally, why question our current system of musical learning by asking what could be? Elements of our Improvisation Class can perhaps shed light on these very questions. Of course, all learning should be contextual to each space of learning, which suggests adopted ideas and concepts from here must be contextualized to their new settings, too.
Our Improvisation Class consisted of around 25 youth musicians from the ages of nine to 19 all with various levels of experience, whether on the violin, piano, guitar, voice, sax, darbuka, and accordion. I sought to provide a certain structure that enabled a few key elements that could lead to the possibilities of musical greatness and musical creator through our dialogical space, where knowledge, understanding, and skills were transferable to outside musical and non-musical spaces. Whereas the process of sharing musical knowledge and understanding should be a two-way street, I believe musician and music educator is responsible for providing the initial structure in which creativity can thrive.
1. All ideas are welcome within our fundamental social agreement of listening, respect, and responsibility to our peers, our creations, and ourselves.
We all have a natural desire to feel appreciated. When we feel appreciated, we are more willing to confront vulnerability positively as moments of growth and self-transformation (see Brené Brown’s TED Talk: The Power of Vulnerability). In providing structure in which creativity can flourish, I wanted to welcome everyone into a setting where youth musicians felt safe or at least safer in sharing their ideas, feelings, and emotions musically and verbally. In our entire group we all agreed, including myself as a facilitator-participant, to listen, respect, and be responsible to each other, our creations, and ourselves.
2. Every youth musician has valid experiences, and has gained understanding and knowledge through these experiences, in which to teach and share with the group.
In harmony with challenging what education philosopher Paulo Freire termed the “banking concept” where students are looked upon as empty vessels awaiting for their teacher to fill their mind with knowledge, our Improvisation Class was a problem-posing (Freire, 2000) space in which peer learning flourished and youth musicians built upon previous musical and social experiences. Progressive education philosopher John Dewey speaks of experiences as a continuum of quality doing and undergoing (Dewey, 2007), which builds knowledge and understanding, ultimately leading to personal growth and openness to further growth through continuous doing and undergoing (Dewey, 2007). The first day of our class began with a spontaneous jam session that morphed from the original beats of my rhythm sticks on the chairs in our circle to saxophone solos flowing on top of violin, viola, percussion, guitar, and piano. In other words, youth musicians’ previous musical knowledge and experiences were acknowledged and respected straight from the beginning.
3. The invitation is there. I am not the absolute teacher; they are not the absolute students. We each have differing responsibilities and roles to play in the space we build together, which contributes in a unique way to the dialogue and music we co-create.
Musical Sensitivity Line, where youth musicians stood in a line in front of the rest of the class, and first created a number of free-flowing stories verbally as individuals and then as a team, and then musical compositions as individuals and then as a team.
Human DJ, the co-creation of a human soundtrack where one youth musician is the DJ and determines the sounds and rhythms of each youth musician in the group. Then, the DJ rejoins the circle and a new DJ from the group takes the stage.
Teaching of a new musical idea by each member in each community, and then the entire community choosing at least two newly learned musical ideas to teach to the other two communities, and vice versa.
Some community’s cumulative musical co-creations were a reflection or statement based upon their specific issue, whereas others did not mirror their issue. However, every group nonetheless underwent a spherical, deepening process of building knowledge and understanding based upon past experiences and new experiences through multi-modal means to co-create what did not exist before. This process is on the pathway of musical creator and musical greatness.
In summation, it is crucial that we, musicians and music educators, question whether we are co-creating with our students spaces of learning and teaching that foster the imagination of possibilities. There is so much more to describe about our Improvisation Class’s six sessions together, yet not enough room or enough words. Each day could have it’s entirely own reflection. What is clear is how our Improvisation Class was youth-centered with horizontal learning, and inclusive and participatory practices supporting peer learning, authentic music making and learning, and critical thinking of deeper issues in our societies and the role we, and especially youth, can play in making music that impacts our world. I believe these transferable skills will translate beyond our Improvisation Class’s special space, and into less safe spaces in everyday life.
And finally, is this a negation or replacement of the current classical music structure? No, it’s not. Replacing one ideology with another never solves the root issues at hand. In John Dewey’s Experience and Education, he does not advocate for traditional education to be completed replaced by progressive education without thought and deep investigation of the meaning behind both. “For in spite of itself any movement that thinks and acts in terms of an ‘ism’ becomes so involved in reaction against other ‘isms’ that it is unwittingly controlled by them. For it then forms its principles by reaction against them instead of by a comprehensive, constructive survey of actual needs, problems, and possibilities.” (Dewey, 2007, p.6) I invite you all to be the stranger in the development of new educational spaces that constructively question what music education has been and what it could be, and finally, to invite our youth musicians to do the same.

Holding a 38-year-old Nigerian national guilty of possessing 19-gram cocaine, the local court sentenced him to 14 months jail.
Additional district and sessions judge Sanjay Kumar Sachdev also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 on Daniel, 38.
On October 2, 2012, the UT police had arrested Daniel at a check post near the Inter-State Bus Terminus, Sector 17, after they had recovered 19-gram cocaine from his possession. Police said they saw a Nigerian national coming out of the bus stand gate holding white polythene.
Daniel was staying in Delhi since 2011, and used to run a retail business of second hand T-shirts in Tripura.
At time of his arrest, Daniel acted as a courier for another Delhi-based Nigerian, Mike, and was about to deliver the same in Amristar. He even threw the packet on seeing police and tried to flee.

Now, I ask you again, did you see it? Absalom named his daughter after his sister. They were both named Tamar. I wonder why he chose to do this. Do you think it was because she was as beautiful as Tamar? Or, was it something else? Maybe, there was a different reason.

EXCLUSIVE: How High 2, MTV’s sequel to stoner classic How High, has rounded out its cast. DC Young Fly (Almost Christmas) is set to star opposite previously announced Lil Yachty in the non-theatrical movie followup to the 2001 Universal comedy feature, which starred Method Man and Redman.
Atlanta), Shekinah Jo (T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle) and hip-hop artist Lil Baby.
How High 2 is co-produced by MTV and Universal 1440 Entertainment, the production entity of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Production is currently underway in Atlanta for a spring 2019 premiere on MTV.
Written by Family Guy’s Shawn Ries and Artie Johann, Alex Blagg (Workaholics) & Neel Shah (Powerless), How High 2 chronicles two young “potrepreneurs” on a magical hash-fueled journey to fund their on-demand munchies delivery start-up.
Bruce Leddy (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, MADtv) directs. Shauna Garr (How High) returns as executive producer. Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “Pee” Thomas and Lil Yachty from Quality Control serve as executive producers, along with Brian Sher.

Impending exam results – doom” – this was the title of the email I sent to Gerry a few days before exam results as I was sure I had failed SBR and wanted some advice on what my next steps should be.
Having exemptions from most of the F papers, I was terrified of SBR due to my lack of assumed knowledge, but Gerry assured me it would not be a problem.
Gerry’s plan made all the difference. I left most lectures disheartened as I felt like I hadn’t grasped each concept discussed. I spoke with Gerry on numerous occasions as I felt like giving up, but he was always at the other end of the phone or classroom telling me to not give up and to stick to his plan!
So, I took his advice, I stuck to his plan and last night I got my results – PASSED with 69%.

With the volume of real estate sold in Cherry Creek North increased 288% or from January 2015 to January 2016, the year is off to a strong start.
Three of the sales are attributed to sales at 250 Columbine St. Additionally, 480 Cook St sold for $4.325M.
Now, let’s take a closer look at a few of the notable sales.
480 Cook St (4bd/8ba, 10,026 sq. ft.) half duplex. Built in 2002 by Paul Kobey, the elegant home features 5 fireplaces, elevator, three-car garage, spacious floor plan and over 10,000 sq ft.
250 Columbine St, #601 – $3,273,095. (3 bed / 3.5 bath, 3,361 sq. ft.) is a northwest corner unit with a 1,000+ sq. ft outdoor living patio, western views and three underground parking spaces.
Inventory levels are down year-over-year and I believe 2016 is going to be a repeat of 2015, with homes under $600k moving quickly. $600k will move fast. This is a move-up Buyers market, Buyers are moving up from surrounding areas to live in the Urban Core. Those move-up Buyers now have equity in their homes to support a purchase price in the luxury market and homes price over $800k.

Where On Earth Is Alturas?
Diminutive hamlet in California’s far North steps up big for its kids.
These kids come from a little bit tougher homes, and sometimes don’t do well in school,“ said skatepark advocate De Funk. “But I believe now they’re doing better in school and have a clearer vision of what they want to do later in life.
The gratitude and appreciation we feel toward the Tony Hawk Foundation is difficult to express,” said Funk. “They see what we see in the value of this project, serving this remote and underprivileged community.
8/1/17 (Vista, California) — When the two nearest skateparks are located across State lines, you know your community needs one if its own. Such is the situation in tiny Alturas, California (population 2,900), where local skaters have to travel to Oregon or Nevada to ride. But with a grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation, the skaters of Alturas will have their own skatepark much sooner than they thought.
When they walked into a town council meeting in 2014 to ask about building a public skatepark, the skaters probably didn’t expect they’d still be working on the project in 2017. And when the Alturas town council approved the project, they also likely didn’t expect to see those kids stick with it. But they did.
Thanks to Funk and her youth advocates’ success in building community support for the project, the Alturas Skatepark earned the Tony Hawk Foundation’s top grant this Summer, bringing them $25,000 closer to their $310,000 fundraising goal.
For Alturas and many communities currently in the process of creating a new public skatepark for their youth, there is still much more fundraising and community-outreach work to be done. Lucky for them, the Tony Hawk Foundation is a resource they can rely on for guidance throughout the process—from planning to fundraising to construction—in addition to THF’s grant program.
With 532 skateparks across all 50 States having received some of their funding from the foundation, THF has invested in nearly 20 percent of current U.S. public skateparks. In addition to Alturas, seven other projects join the list of projects still in the works, but accelerated by THF’s assistance and funding.
The next opportunity to apply for a Tony Hawk Foundation Skatepark Grant is in December 2017, but communities seeking assistance with their public-skatepark projects are urged to reach out to foundation staff to review their plans and prepare for the next grant season.

If you have been hurt on the job, not only is it a difficult thing because of the pain you are in, but also because of the difficult and tricky demands that the Massachusetts Workers Compensation laws place upon you. It almost seems like the workers compensation insurance is made to interfere with you getting better rather than helping you.
It is extremely important that you start treatment with a health care provider who knows what the laws for workers compensation are in Massachusetts and who has navigated through the system before. If your doctor has not billed workers compensation before, both you and he or she may be in for an unpleasant surprise and might get an outright denial for your treatment.
Whether it is a lifting injury or a car accident while at work, the system that exists for your protection has to be followed very strictly and there are limits that have been imposed upon the type, quantity, frequency and duration of your treatment by the Massachusetts legislature. The treatment that you receive is exactly the same that you might get for any other type of injury, but there are limits that have been imposed for payment of your bills through worker’s compensation and you private health insurance will probably not cover the treatment if it is a work injury.
Our office has extensive experience in dealing with the Mass. Department of Industrial Accidents and we know exactly how much treatment can be approved and also where the approval needs to come from in order to get your bill paid. We combine this with our already existing excellence in the clinical part of our services which is truly more important than the administrative side. We also have worked closely with attorneys and insurance adjusters in order to get the most beneficial outcomes for our patients and to make their experience a pleasant one rather than the nightmare that can often develop if a healthcare provider who is inexperienced in dealing with the administrative challenges that workers compensation cases demand.
We promise to make your experience not only healing but as pleasant as possible at our office. We provide entertainment for when you are getting your treatment done (including your choice of digital movies and/or music and magazines). We also provide the most optimal treatment that your condition demands. We have on-site x-ray facilities and also the latest in treatment equipment and computerized diagnostic machinery that pin-points exactly where your problems are.
Don’t delay with a work injury. The law may limit the type or place of treatment that you can receive and your job may also choose who you go to for your treatment. We have worked with many employers and have gotten excellent results for our patients. Call us now at (413) 737-7787 if you have been in a work injury and we can get the proper approvals done for your treatment. If you have any questions about the process we are always here to serve you and answer your questions so you can feel assured that you are doing what is best for your health.

At last night’s USCIB 2017 International Leadership Award Dinner, USCIB members and representatives of the international community turned out to honor Mastercard President and CEO Ajay Banga and celebrate the private sector’s contribution to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The dinner, which was held at United Nations headquarters in New York, drew over 220 high-level private sector individuals, UN dignitaries as well as press and featured keynote remarks by UN Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohammed.
The leadership award, which was established in 1980, is presented to a leading CEO, international figure or institution, and recognizes outstanding contributions to global trade, finance and investment, and to improving the global competitive framework in which American business operates. In honoring Banga, USCIB also recognized Mastercard’s leading work in global financial inclusion. Upon accepting the award, Banga was joined by Eric Roston, chief sustainability editor with Bloomberg News, for a “fireside chat” exploring Banga’s thoughts on business leadership and sustainability.
The gala event also served to showcase the private sector’s efforts to align its activities with the SDGs, including via a new video, spotlighting a number of USCIB member companies, for the Business for 2030 web platform launched by USCIB two years ago. Please visit www.Businessfor2030.org to learn more about what companies are doing to achieve the SDGs.
Banga’s other achievements include leadership roles as member of the U.S. President’s Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations and as a founding trustee of the U.S. – India Strategic Partnership Forum. He also served as a member of President Barack Obama’s Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity. Prior to Mastercard, Banga was chief executive of Citigroup’s Asia Pacific. He began his career at Nestle in India, where he also spent two years with PepsiCo.
Bonn and New York, November 17, 2017 – As the Bonn Climate Conference wrapped up its work, the United States Council for International Business (USCIB) welcomed progress on priority topics for American business in the UN climate discussions. In particular, it noted that, after two weeks of intense negotiations, governments are moving ahead on transparency rules that will provide clarity and credibility across different national pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mobilize resources to address climate change.
Throughout the meeting, USCIB worked closely with the International Chamber of Commerce and the Major Economies Business Forum to call for inclusive business involvement in all areas of the climate deliberations. The Bonn outcomes also further chart the way forward for assessment and dialogue on the progress of all countries to meet Paris Agreement objectives, known as the Talanoa process, throughout 2018.
USCIB and its members have been on hand in Bonn to showcase American companies’ actions and solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mobilize investment and innovation, and inform the inter-governmental discussions going forward. Over 30,000 representatives from governments, the UN, NGOs and the business community attended the complicated technical talks to develop implementation rules for the Paris Agreement, including in the area of market-based approaches and carbon markets.
The next UN climate conference will take place in Katowice, Poland in December 2018.
USCIB promotes open markets, competitiveness and innovation, sustainable development and corporate responsibility, supported by international engagement and regulatory coherence. Its members include U.S.-based global companies and professional services firms from every sector of our economy, with operations in every region of the world, generating $5 trillion in annual revenues and employing over 11 million people worldwide. As the U.S. affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Organization of Employers and Business at OECD, USCIB provides business views to policy makers and regulatory authorities worldwide, and works to facilitate international trade and investment. More information is available at www.uscib.org.
The invitation-only event will bring together 100 senior business professionals and development partners for an inspiring and action-focused half-day event on how business, government and civil society are collaborating to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. USCIB President and CEO Peter M. Robinson will be among the speakers. Click here to view the agenda and request an invitation.
The September 18 event is part of a week-long series of events organized by USCIB and key partners around the theme of “Business Makes It Happen,” focusing the attention of global policy makers and other key stakeholders on the importance of effective private-sector engagement and participation in achieving the SDGs.
More information on additional events coming shortly!
Mark Prater, chief tax counsel for the Senate Finance Committee, spoke at the conference.
Against the backdrop of new global tax rules developed under the BEPS Action Plan and efforts to advance tax reform in the United States, USCIB members and others from the business community gathered in Washington, D.C. on Monday and Tuesday for the 12th annual OECD International Tax Conference.
Organized by USCIB in concert with the 35-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as well as Business at OECD (BIAC), the conference has grown into an annual must-attend event for tax practitioners, experts and regulators from around the world.
With an eye toward the direction of possible U.S. tax reform, including reduction of the top corporate tax rate from the current 35 percent, Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the OECD’s Center for Tax Policy and Administration, told conference-goers that he expects most OECD economies to adopt corporate tax rates in the 20-30 percent range. Saint-Amans said there may be some exceptions, including in the UK, where top rates may drop below 20 percent.
Over the course of the two-day conference, which took place at the Four Seasons Hotel, participants discussed tax policy trends, current tax reform, tax uncertainty, digitalization, increases in intangible assets, and dealing with tax-related disputes through arbitration. They also focused on transfer pricing as well as the OECD’s new multilateral instrument, signed today in Paris.
As the Trump administration seeks to reorient U.S. trade policy toward bilateral agreements, bilateral trade deficits have been put forward as a marker of the health — or lack thereof — of U.S. commercial relations with a given country. USCIB has taken up this issue in a recent statement to the Department of Commerce, as well as a public testimony that was delivered by USCIB’s Director for Investment, Trade, and Financial Services Eva Hampl on May 18 at the Department of Commerce.
In her testimony, Hampl emphasized USCIB’s view that trade deficits are a product of broader macroeconomic factors, not trade policy, and that the trade balance should not be viewed as a straightforward indicator of a country’s economic health. “While it is useful to address trade barriers that impede access for U.S. goods and services exporters to specific markets, we should not set up bilateral trade balances as the metric of successful trade policies,” she said.
Examine the trade deficit within the broader set of macroeconomic factors that determine it and include all elements of trade in the analysis, instead of focusing solely on bilateral manufactured goods trade balances.
Work with experts around the U.S. Government, international organizations, and academia to get the best data possible to guide the best policy making. We need much better measurements of real trade flows and value added, including in complex global supply chains and in services. We also need better data on FDI flows, both inward and outward.
Move aggressively to open foreign markets, and identify and combat foreign trade barriers to increase U.S. exports and improve our trade balance. We support the use of appropriate enforcement tools including the WTO, bilateral and regional trade agreements, U.S. trade laws, and efforts to open those markets and to combat illegal foreign subsidies and dumping into the United States.
Accelerate U.S. Government “commercial diplomacy” efforts to support U.S. companies competing to win deals overseas.
Reform the U.S. Government’s economic policies, including tax reform, regulatory reform, and energy development, to bolster the competitiveness of our firms, allowing them to win more and bigger deals overseas.
Cross-border trade in digital goods and services has grown 45-fold over the past decade. How can policy makers and the business community work together to ensure that new technologies and digital applications can lead to a more prosperous, productive, inclusive and socially beneficial world? And what lessons can be learned from current discussions and related work within the 35-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)?
This was the focus of a conference today in Washington, D.C., “Facilitating Digital Transformation: The OECD’s Role,” organized by the USCIB Foundation, the educational arm of the United States Council for International Business (USCIB), in partnership with the OECD and Business at OECD (BIAC).
OECD Deputy Secretary General Douglas Frantz identified several factors as key to ongoing digital transformation: improved communications infrastructure and services, new and innovative business models, improved consumer trust and privacy protection, effective policy making, and a robust approach to the challenges and opportunities posed by improvements in artificial intelligence (AI). On the latter point, he proposed that the OECD work toward some sort of policy instrument to address AI.
Andrew Wycoff, director of the OECD’s Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, outlined the OECD’s work to assess the G20 economies’ uneven progress to date toward enabling the digital transformation. He said the OECD’s upcoming policy recommendations would focus on the importance of boosting investment in digital infrastructure, ensuring competition in the ICT sector and the broader economy, and establishing sufficient trust in the digital economy while also making it truly inclusive.
During an industry roundtable on emerging technologies, Jacqueline Ruff, vice president for international public policy and regulatory affairs with Verizon, said public policy will be important to remove barriers to the deployment of fifth-generation wireless technology, while creating a pro-investment environment. “They key to 5G will be smart communities,” she stated.
Other conference panels examined questions of equity and potential negative effects of digital technologies, as well as ways to enhance trust in an increasingly connected world. Organizers said the event would help steer discussion toward practical measures to maximize the benefits of new technologies. Panelists also focused on jobs, as well as education and skills-development challenges and opportunities, posed by digital transformation and the efforts by companies, such as IBM, to create “new collar jobs” enabling a segment of workers in more mature industries to become productive participants in the digital economy.
New York, N.Y., February 22, 2017 – The United States Council for International Business (USCIB) applauded the entry into force today of the landmark World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), which will reduce the costs of trading across borders and lead to increased U.S. and foreign exports and jobs. The TFA, approved at the WTO’s 2014 ministerial in Bali, Indonesia, provides enforceable government commitments, which will reduce red tape at the borders, speed movement of goods internationally, reduce costs, increase exports and create jobs.
The WTO has 164 member countries, and its rules require two-thirds of its members to ratify and pass laws making necessary changes in their customs procedures in order for the TFA to go into effect. Today, Chad, Jordan, Oman and Rwanda submitted their ratification notices to the WTO, achieving the two-thirds threshold.
McGraw, who also serves as honorary chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the world business organization, and chaired the President’s Advisory Committee on Trade Negotiations, has been a staunch advocate for the TFA and for multilateral trade liberalization in general.
In addition to promoting the benefits of the TFA, USCIB has worked to secure overseas ratification of the agreement through bilateral meetings with numerous governments. It has also done so via its role as U.S. affiliate of ICC, which mounted a global campaign to secure ratification of the TFA.

The state of Illinois and the federal government require that every nursing facility notifies the physician and family members anytime there is a negative change in the resident’s condition. This protocol is established and enforced as a way to minimize the potential additional harm to the resident and ensure that the individual is receiving the highest level of care. Unfortunately, the Silvis elder abuse attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have represented many residents who have suffered additional harm or died prematurely due to the negligent actions of caregivers who fail to notify the doctor.
As a part of the Genesis Health System, Illini Restorative Care provides a variety of services including long-term care, Medicare-certified skilled care, and rehabilitation for acute illnesses and post-surgery.
Both the federal government and Illinois routinely update their nursing home database systems to reflect the complete history of safety concerns, health violations, filed complaints and opened investigations on every facility nationwide. The results of listed deficiencies can be found on numerous sites including Medicare.gov.
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 04/12/2016, a notation was made during an annual licensure and certification survey by a state investigator concerning the facility's failure to "notify the physician of a significant change of condition for [one resident at the facility].” The state investigator noted that “this failure resulted in [the resident] having continued bloodied bowel movements and expiring four days later from a gastrointestinal bleed due to Warfarin toxicity.
The resident’s 03/26/2016 Death Record indicates of the resident “expired [that morning] at 8:15 AM.” The notation indicated that the resident had suffered Warfarin toxicity through a lower G.I. bleed. The facility’s Medical Director stated at 3:35 PM on 04/13/2016 “that the facility did not contact him regarding [the resident’s] continued bloodied stools and that he should have expected the facility to do that.
The investigator reviewed the resident’s 9:11 PM 11/09/2015 Progress Notes that documents of the resident “had a new skin tear on [their] left heel at about 1700. After it was cleaned,” dressing was applied. However, it was noted that neither the family nor the resident’s physician were notified “of [the resident’s] skin tear and subsequent wound dressing that was needed. The state investigator interviewed the facility’s Director of Nursing at 11:10 AM on 01/13/2016 who stated that the resident’s “skin tear, documented on 11/09/2015, was not reported to [the resident’s] family or physician” as required by law.
If your loved one has been harmed through negligence, mistreatment or abuse while residing at any Illinois nursing facility, including Illini Restorative Care, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC can take appropriate measures to stop the harm now. Our Rock Island nursing home neglect attorneys can handle the entire process of seeking financial compensation on your behalf.
Contact our Rock Island County elder abuse law firm today at (888) 424-5757 to schedule a no-obligation, free consultation to discuss the merits of your claim. We accept all nursing home abuse and neglect cases on contingency, so no upfront fees are required.

ARUA – The NRM candidate in the Arua Municipality Parliamentary by-election, Ms Nusura Tiperu, (NRM), has asked the High Court to nullify the victory of Kassiano Wadri (Independent), alleging it was marred with many irregularities.
In a petition filed at Arua High Court on Monday, Ms Tiperu claimed the Electoral Commission did not remove ghosts from voters’ register, which had an impact on the election results. She also claimed that Wadri and his agents incited violence which scared away her votes.
Mr Wadri won the election despite being in detention after he was arrested with 32 other people in Arua following the violence on the last day of campaigns.
“I was excluded from the campaign period for five days while all other candidates were given a campaign program and commenced campaigns,” she stated.
Wadri polled 6,421 votes beating his closest rival Nusura Tiperu, the NRM flag bearer, who polled 4,798 votes. In third place was Robert Ejiku with 2,694 votes and FDC’s Bruce Musema came fourth with 1,369 votes.
In effect, although Wadri won, he polled less than 50% of the total valid votes. The seat was previously occupied by Col. Ibrahim Abiriga who was gunned down in June this year.
Court has not fixed the date for the hearing of the case.

This is a follow up to let others know that I did call Lee Myles transmission back to advise him that it was me who stupidly drained the transmission fluid thinking it was the engine oil. I was really aggravated that even his inspection Team could not determine why a Transmission with no fluid in it will of course not operate. Lee is a extremely nice guy. He did tell me that he saw some evidence of fluid on the dip stick. I also told him to check the transmission he pulled for fluid. He responded that he did pulled the pan and that there was some fluid spotted. He did not say it was full, 1/2 full or even partially full. What does "some fluid spotted" Mean? I would not even be writing this review if he would have accepted some responsibility for wrong doings. I was forthright in admitting how stupidly wrong I was, I expect no less from him. You be the judge!
This is my first review ever. I really performed a very stupid mistake. In my attempt to change my oil and filter on my 2000 Montero. I crawled under neath and drained the Transmission fluid thinking it was the Engine oil pan. I then put back in another 4 1/2 qts of engine oil in the engine. After checking the Engine oil dip stick, I realized it was overfilled. By how much, I didn't know at the time. I started the vehicle up to circulate the oil. It still showed overfilled. I put it into gear to test drive for leaks. It would go into gear and right back out. Thinking...oh great, the transmission is acting up. I shut the engine down and I called Lee Myles transmission after searching local internet. He couldn't help me over the phone but, for a $85 tow and a $98 insp.fee, he would advise me of the problem. Well, he called me back and said I needed a new transmission. I didn't even know at that moment that I was the one who drained the transmission. It was when I got it back that I had to correct a smoking engine from being overfilled with an additional 4-1/2 qts of oil. That's when I realized what a stupid mistake I had made earlier by draining the Transmission. YOU might think twice about taking your vehicle to Lee Myles Auto care and Transmission. That stupid mistake did not cost Lee Myles a total of $2200.00...So much for that $98.00 inspection fee!
I rescently went to lee Myles in boulder on 63rd and aropahoe and the work they did on my car was excellent , the diagnostic and customer service was unmatched in boulder county . I would recommend any one who needs work on their car to call them first!
Yes pick up my car today Mr.Mark did an excellent job working on my car was very please with there services.
I would recommend this Transmission shop to anyone who has a problem with their car, they not only fixed the problem, they also helped me to rent a car for a few days, The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was very pleased with the outcome.
The Lee Myles here in Mt. Pocono , PA was great........they were a big help with a radiator issue I was having with my wifes truck. The owner even came to my house at no charge to give me some well needed advise on how to precede with the fix! Thank You again Dominick.

Nightwish are consummate professionals, you certainly have to give them that much. Nary a week after unceremoniously dumping the sweet, much-maligned Anette from their lineup, the band of Finnish rockers finds themselves with a couple hundred people in a glorified barn in middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma. And they rocked the hell out.
Having seen Nightwish twice now, the thing that strikes me most about their live performances is how much damn fun that group always seems to be having. Big stage. Small stage. Tarja. Anette. Even now, amidst much change and uncertainty, every person on the stage, including unproven new vocalist Floor Jensen, looked to be having a blast. Playful smiles, crowd interaction, and glorious head banging were everywhere. Their enthusiasm is infectious. The crowd loved it.
The crowd also loved the new voice of Nightwish. Ms. Jensen got quite the warm response upon waltzing confidently onstage and in later, more personal addresses to the crowd. These fans gave no sign of being unhappy with being suddenly down a familiar face (and their accompanying vocal chords). Floor certainly did her part and fit right in. That lady has a mean hair whip and clearly knows how to rock.
She also knows how to sing. Technically speaking, she's more classically proficient than the pop-influenced Anette. In theory this makes her a better fit for Nightwish's bombastic style. In practice, things haven't quite settled down enough to tell.

If you recall The Lonely Forest made my SXSW ’10 mix. Tuesday night, however, marked the first time I had the opportunity to see them perform. I must say, I loved them before based solely on their tune “We Sing in Time.” But now, they are verging on new favorite band territory. Their live show was an unexpectedly rockin’ treat full of energy and even more songs that are going straight on my monthly music mix. The Lonely Forest hails from Anacortes, Washington. According to their song “I Don’t Want to Live There,” they won’t be moving to LA anytime soon, but they say they’ll be back come February. In preparation for their return, I’ll be listening to The Lonely Forest EP on repeat. You should check it out!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It really snuck up on me this year! So yesterday I decided to make some St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes using Lucky Charms. Want to see how cute they turned out?
I found the inspiration for my cupcakes on Pinterest. (of course!) There are numerous ways to make St. Patrick’s Day themed cupcakes but I thought the one using Lucky Charms cereal was so cute and simple. I had a white cake mix on hand but needed to buy some frosting and the cereal. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I bought cereal with marshmallows!
I also decided not to make my own frosting and buy ready made buttercream frosting. I added a few drops of green food coloring right to the frosting container and stirred it until the green was the desired color. Then I iced each of the cooled cupcakes and added a few of the marshmallows on top for decorations. They are adorable!
I took some to my fairy god-children and gave them the rest of the cereal as well. I knew for a fact we wouldn’t eat it. Were the cupcakes “magically delicious”? The children told me they loved the cupcakes! But my husband ate one and was NOT impressed. He didn’t like the texture of the cereal in the cupcake. I think if I were to make them again, I would not put the cereal in the batter and just use some marshmallows as a garnish along with the green icing. They are really cute though!
Another cute idea on Pinterest was to use colored sprinkles in the batter instead of the cereal. This would add some fun pops of color and maybe not be as sweet and sugary? But hey, it’s St. Patty’s Day! It’s okay to splurge!

Jamaica's first wind turbine -- the result of energetic and visionary efforts by the Munro College Old Boy's Association -- was officially inaugurated at the private school on February 8 by prime minister P J Patterson. As well as electricity, the Vestas V27, 225 kW is to generate a sustained income for Munro College and hopefully an interest in wind power in Jamaica.
The project had its beginnings when the school's alumni raised about $100,000 to buy a 65 kW machine from the US, says consulting engineer John Whittingham of Barbados. However, after attending a meeting of energy engineers in St Lucia in December 1994, project manager Paul Stockhausen was persuaded to invest in a larger machine.
Extra cash for the more expensive Vestas unit came from the Environmental Foundation of Jamaica and the Canadian Green Fund, which together provided $110,000, while the University of the West Indies Foundation for the Environment donated $60,000, says Whittingham. Further help came from the Multicare Foundation, which donated J$5.4 million, and the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS), the local utility. It provided the grid connection and transformer free of cost. Finally, Aluminium Partners of Jamaica contributed physical help and provided a crane free of cost.
"The project has been widely acclaimed in Jamaica as it allows the demonstration of wind power to take place without commitment of funds from the government. In addition, JPS got the chance to have a first look at wind power by collaborating with Munro and contributing a modest sum to the project," says Whittingham.
Munro College is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains in St Elizabeth at about 800 metres. The site is swept by strong winds for most of the year. "No measurements of the wind exist, but the confidence of the investors seems to be justified as the machine has performed very well since it was commissioned on December 6," adds Whittingham.
The turbine is being monitored in Denmark by Vestas as well as by the firm's agent in the region, Caribbean Wind Power. "The results of the monitoring are being made available to interested parties in Jamaica and the idea of adding other machines to make a small wind park is being considered. In addition to remote monitoring of the electro-mechanical performance of the machine, a meteorological tower is soon to be installed to make wind measurements at the site as a further check and as a basis for determining the economics of expanding into a wind farm. The project is expected to yield about two million Jamaican dollars a year for the duration of the life of the machine," reports Whittingham.

Marriage probably isn't a commitment you take lightly. Making the decision to divorce may have been one of the toughest things you have ever done. It could be that it wasn't initially your idea, but you realized eventually that it is something you should go ahead with for your own peace of mind, happiness, or safety. There are some factors that could weaken your resolve, so you will want to prepare for them.
so that you can't think straight, you will want to consider carrying a notebook to jot down things in front of them to remind yourself of what was actually said or agreed upon. If you faithfully record these incidents, you can review them when you feel like wavering.
Start a page at a fund-me type website. If you had to leave suddenly due to domestic abuse or child abuse of your children, this may help you get enough money to start over.
Check and see if there is a state fund to help you in your situation.
Consider going back to school. You may be eligible for financial aid to cover tuition and your living expenses. Plus, you can apply for campus housing.
Go to your local community center and get a list of charities and food banks that can help you get by. Many charities will help you with a rent payment, utility bill, or supplies for a baby.
Go to a shelter. Besides helping you be safe, shelters have case workers who can direct you to other valuable community resources.
Go to your state's employment center. Often they have short-term computer or job skill training that will help you start a new career. Some states will even pay for you to take a class at a local community college for such things as EMT or pharmacy tech training, etc.
Dealing With Loneliness, Fear and Insecurity.
Unfortunately some of your friends and relatives may be less than supportive of you during this difficult time. It can be difficult to deal with your own feelings of inadequacy or even guilt (whether appropriate or not). This is a good time to seek counseling for yourself (and your children), if you haven't done so already. A therapist can help you to figure out ways to feel more supported.
Your community or local university may have a clinic that has a sliding scale fee that would make it more affordable for you if things are tight. Most employers have an EAP (Employment Assistance Program) where you could access some short-term counseling and other helps.
Embracing spirituality and your relationship with your higher power.
Getting closer to friends and relatives that are willing to spend time with you and also help in other ways.
Joining a support group for divorced people.
While you shouldn't make your kids into your personal confidants, spending quality time with them can help, even if you are limited to weekly visitations or weekend overnights. Planning activities like hiking, skating, visiting parks, going to sports events, or doing projects together can help you to feel closer to them. Even a prickly teenager secretly craves your attention and care.


text: We study the problem of multiset prediction. The goal of multiset prediction is to train a predictor that maps an input to a multiset consisting of multiple items. Unlike existing problems in supervised learning, such as classification, ranking and sequence generation, there is no known order among items in a target multiset, and each item in the multiset may appear more than once, making this problem extremely challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel multiset loss function by viewing this problem from the perspective of sequential decision making. The proposed multiset loss function is empirically evaluated on two families of datasets, one synthetic and the other real, with varying levels of difficulty, against various baseline loss functions including reinforcement learning, sequence, and aggregated distribution matching loss functions. The experiments reveal the effectiveness of the proposed loss function over the others.
