Patients will be responsible for co-payment amount: Component from total billing (remaining amount) needs to be collected from the patient once Insurance Company confirms the final sanction and as mentioned in the approval document. Also patient need to pay the non-payable charges as defined by the Insurance/ TPA at the time of discharge.
Most health insurance policies do offer cashless hospitalization facility and route your policy through a Third Party Administrator (TPA). If you get hospitalized at a Network Hospital of your TPA, you will be eligible for cashless hospitalization. However, if you get admitted at a Non-network Hospital, then you will need to settle the bills directly and seek reimbursement from your TPA.
The Hospital has tie-ups with Third Party Administrators (TPA) to provide cashless benefit to patients with medical insurance. Cashless hospitalization is a facility provided by most health insurance policies and enables an insured customer to obtain admission and undergo the required treatment without a direct payment. The role of the hospital in cashless hospitalization is that of a facilitator only. The hospital has no authority to approve or disapprove any request for cashless hospitalization. To smoothen the cashless service there are guidelines to be followed.
Establish contact with the Insurance / Corporate desk at the hospital. You will need to present your original health insurance card issued to you by your TPA. Collect the pre-authorization form pertaining to your TPA. Forms are available at the counter from 9.00am to 8.00pm (all days). (Sundays:- 9:30am – 5:30pm).
The Hospital is only a 'Service Provider' and acts as a facilitator to expedite the insurance process, hence sanction of insurance is beyond the scope of responsibilities of the hospital. TPA/Insurance may fail to deduct certain charges but mention generic wordings for it and accordingly they will be collected by the hospital. Patient can claim reimbursement for the same through insurance company as per their policy.
General details on the health insurance policy – to be filled in by you (the Insurance / Corporate Desk will assist you in case you have any difficulty).
Pertains to the treatment recommended for you – it needs to be filled in and duly signed by the Doctor who is treating you (do not attempt to fill this section; contact the Insurance/ Corporate Desk in case of any difficulty). This form is to be filled by the insurance policy holder.
Your Doctor will complete the medical details and sign the form. The Ward Secretary will help you facilitate the process. The completed form will be handed over to you which has then to be taken to TPA counter wherein it will be faxed or e-mailed to the concerned party.
Kindly ensure that information provided by you is correct and consistent especially with respect to pre-existing ailments, as discrepancy in facts would result in rejection of claim and/or delays.
The fully completed form is to be submitted within 24 hours of admission.
In case of non-submission of form with stipulated time period, the patient will be asked to make the payment in cash.
Filling the authorization form does not mean that your claim has been approved.
The authorization of the amount is entirely at the discretion of the insurance company. The hospital is only a facilitator in this process and does not play any role whatsoever.
We will be working on your insurance approval however, at the same time, kindly keep yourself updated of the latest status of your claim at regular intervals.
In case the insurance company rejects the claim at any point of time, the patient is liable to make the entire payment to the Hospital.
The patient will be given clearance once the final bill is sanctioned by the insurance provider.
Please Note: All original reports including films and discharge summary along with bill will be forwarded to the insurance company for payment.
Once the patient is advised discharge by the treating consultant, it takes minimum three hours for cash paying patient and four hours for company paying credit patient to complete the discharge formalities. In case of Insurance covered patients the timing may be more depending on the approval received from the Insurance/TPA.
Once you clear the final bill, the Ward Secretary/Nurse in charge will hand over the discharge docket consisting of discharge summary and reports of all your investigations carried out during your stay at the hospital. This card gives the summary of your medical condition and management during hospitalization. It will contain instructions for your medication to be taken post discharge and follow-up details.
In case of insurance patients, please note the original reports/discharge summary is submitted to your TPA, hence the hospital will hand over a photocopy of the same to the patient.
In case a patient requires original film of X-Ray/CT Scan/MRI/USG, the same will be on chargeable basis.
Patients/relatives are requested to vacate the room/bed immediately once the discharge formalities are completed.

David Knox: What It's Going to Take to Put Cincinnati's Startup Scene on the Map [VIDEO]
Written by Ronald Barba
Sure, the Cincinnati startup scene has seen some major developments in recent years, but it's still waiting for its big break – that moment that will let the rest of the world know about the sweet things going down in Cincy.
For David Knox, Cincinnati faces three challenges that are keeping it from becoming the next premier startup scene. Aside from being the Chief Marketing Officer at Rockfish, a digital agency, Knox is also the co-founder of The Brandery, a top-ranked accelerator based in the Ohio city.
Much like the rest of the U.S., Cincinnati was hard-hit by the collapse of the dot-com bubble, leading to a period of stagnation for their tech industry. It really wasn't until around 2009-2010 that startups started showing up again with the help of The Brandery and CincyTech. Since then, the startup community in Cincinnati has really picked up, but it's got some ways to go.
According to Knox, the Cincinnati startup scene is still relatively young, so it faces challenges that many nascent ecosystems are facing. Firstly, it's trying to build a startup community rather than a community of individual startups (the distinction becomes clearer when you watch the video). Secondly, there is the issue of capital, which the city is trying to tackle with organizations like Cintrifuse. And, thirdly, they still haven't found that one great startup – the one that makes a huge exit and creates a second wave of entrepreneurs for Cincinnati.
Watch what else Knox has to say about the Cincinnati startup scene. See it here.

Swimming is one of the most progressive sports a child can do. As they master each skill, they are quickly able to add to their ability and take their swimming to the next level. BUT a few months out the pool, can undo their hard work and their skills will most likely regress. When it comes to being safe around water, these are skills you don't want to be rusty. Ever!
This is why Waterwise offers lesson all year round. Please protect your little ones (and your investment in them) by continuing lessons through the winter months. Younger swimmers will especially benefit from continuous swimming as more time in the water will build their confidence. (Yay!) Their bodies will also carry on growing in this time, another reason to keep them swimming regularly.

Asserting that all states have expressed satisfaction and have praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'historic' developments in ensuring electricity reaches every corner of the nation, Power Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said that the main focus of the government at present, is to implement the 'Power for all' scheme by 2019 instead of 2020.
Speaking to ANI after the two-day meeting of state power ministers, Goyal said that a lot of crucial decisions were taking in the conference, where deliberations were held on rolling out several schemes , including 'Uday Yojana'.
"A scheme where free pumps can be given to farmers and electricity is provided in every house. Basically, we are working on the Prime Minister's dream of 'Power to all', which we will try to implement by 2019. We have received support from almost all states in this matter," Goyal said.
Talking about some of the plans that were discussed in the two-day conference, the Power Minister said that saving electricity, providing power to formers including renewable energy and steps to curb theft of electricity, were on top of the agenda.
"A lot of foreign nations have shown a keen interest in wanting to invest in India, thanks to the Prime Minister's Make In India scheme and this was discussed in the meeting as well. It was a constructive meeting where the government received a lot of praise from all the state for what we are doing but instead of being content, we are working harder than ever as there are miles to go," Goyal said.
Prime Minister Modi had earlier announced complete electrification of India by May 2018 and said that by December 2018, all Indian citizens will have access to electricity.

Opinions differ over student walk-out
By Linda M. Cain
Published 12:30 pm Wednesday, April 11, 2018
Seventeen minutes. For 17 lives.
It seemed like a fitting tribute to those who died in the Florida school shooting. And so students joined a nationwide movement last month and walked out of their classrooms for 17 minutes, including some students at Currituck County High School and Currituck County Middle School.
Not everyone participated in the student-organized walk-outs. And not everyone agreed with the students' right to participate.
The topic came up at the Board of Education's regular meeting that was held at the end of March because of the Easter/spring break in the first week of April.
Board member Will Crodick contended that according to the movement's national website, the protest was about gun control and not about the 17 lives.
Crodick said that there is policy in place about consequences to students who disrupt the classroom, which he contended the students who walked out did, and that letting the students make up the rules, "I equate that to chaos."
If those students killed had been Currituck students, would you still want the students who walked out punished, board chairman Dr. Bill Dobney asked Crodick.
Crodick said he wants a policy about what to do if it happens again and that students could have a rally every week about other things, like not being able to use the restroom when they want to. He said students should not be disrupting the educational process and there needs to be rules and order.
One CCHS student said that her classroom was disrupted and that students made a ruckus when they left, some for more than 17 minutes, and that the majority did not walk out but those who did are free from punishment.
Instead of during class time, she suggested the protest should have taken place before or after school or during lunch, and the goal seemed to be disrupting the learning environment.
The student, who spoke during public comment, also objected to teachers posting their political opinions on signs that cover the white boards where lessons should be written instead.
The student's mother also spoke during public comment concerned because parents were not informed about the walk-out and she got no information from the school when she called about it.
Board member Janet Rose said she thought the parents should have been notified the day before about the possibility of a walk-out so they could talk to their children beforehand, but understood it was not a school-sponsored event so the district did not notify parents. Rose said she was proud of the students, those that walked out and those that did not.
In talking to the board's attorney and state and national education-based organizations, school superintendent Mark Stefanik said that the walk-out was not a school sponsored event, it was a student-led activity, and as-such the board's role was to make sure the students who participated remained safe.
The superintendent explained that no visitors were allowed in the school that morning, law enforcement was on hand, staff also helped secure the building and the football field where the students gathered.
Stefanik said that of 16 area school districts, two did not have students take part in the national walk-out, and the others handled the situation as Currituck did, ensuring students' safety. One district did assess the participating students with an unexcused absence but allowed them to make up the time.
When chairman Dobney asked if there was any "chaos," Stefanik, who was at CCHS and CCMS that morning, said none that he heard about, and added that walking out of the classroom is not an action that calls for suspension.
CCHS principal Juvanda Crutch said that she was at the football field for most of the observance, and that students talked about the lives lost and they prayed, but she did not hear anyone talk about gun reform. The students then returned to class and continued on with the school day without any reported disturbance.
Chairman Dobney added that students can't be punished for praying.
Crodick said that teachers were stationed around the building and extra deputies were at the school, so school personnel knew the walk-out was going to happen, but there were no consequences for those students and that the board was setting precedent by not acting.
Crutch said they knew of the possibility and that it was a national event. Because students were out in the open, extra security precautions were taken.
Crodick suggested that students have a different level of First Amendment rights when in school or at a school function. However, Dobney disagreed, citing a Supreme Court ruling that said otherwise.
"They are the ones being shot at," commented board member Dwan Craft, adding the students need a voice in the issue.
A student who took part in organizing the event at CCHS said during public comment that about 180 students participated, but since then, others have been using social media to attack and belittle her and other participants. She suggested that whether students walked out or didn't walk out, they should be able to listen to one another's opinions in a respectful manner.
Student board members Tyler Little and Colin Coffie said that class breaks at College of the Albemarle were scheduled so that students could participate in the walk-out without missing any class time.
Little asked if there was any similar event previously, and chairman Dobney responded that he was superintendent when the shootings at Columbine occurred and that while there was no national walk-out then, security was increased at Currituck schools for several months afterward. Rose said she participated in two local student walk-outs when she was in ninth and tenth grade.
Student board member Jenna Akers said that she did not participate in the walk-out but that if those students who exercised their First Amendment rights are to be punished, she would take that same punishment.

Masculins / Preseason
All about OL's next preseason opponent, Genoa
Published on 17 July 2019 at 3:30 PM by LM
OL will travel to Gueugnon on Saturday night to face Genoa CFC. Euronews journalist Cristiano Tassinari gives us the lowdown on our second opponent of the 2019/20 preseason.
How did it go for Genoa last season in Serie A?
"Genoa is truly one of Italian football's historic teams. But this is a difficult time for the "Griffon" (the club's symbol). They avoided relegation on the last match day thanks to the direct matches with Empoli."
Tell us about Genoa's history?
"It's the oldest club in Italy, founded in 1893. This is the club's thirteenth season in a row in Serie A. There is still a great rivalry with the other team of Genoa: Sampdoria. Older Genoese are traditionally supporters of Genoa. Genoa has won nine Scudettos, but the last one was almost 100 years ago in 1924. It's been way too long. The goal this season will be not to repeat what they went through last year."
What are the team's characteristics?
"Genoa is a traditionally successful team at home. Driven by a noisy crowd, there are many forces and stories at play at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris stadium. It's a club that arguably deserves a lot better."
The rivalry with Sampdoria must lead to some exciting derbies...
"The derbies are always electric. It's called "the derby of the lantern", in reference to La Lanterna, the lighthouse port that's the symbol of Genoa. These are still battles with a favorable balance sheet in Genoa's favor. Sampdoria has won just one Serie A title, in 1991. It's the new team for young people and the "new Genoese". It's probably more interesting than the Milan and Turin derbies. But it's never a derby where there's a title at stake. It's just for local bragging rights."

Homeless Activists Confront Mayor During His Morning Workout
PARK SLOPE – A 72-year-old woman evicted from her home in 2015 led a group of homeless New Yorkers and affordable housing advocates on Friday in confronting Mayor Bill de Blasio as he went to the Park Slope YMCA for his daily workout.
Three years ago, Nathylin Flowers Adesegun was evicted from her home of 34 years and has been homeless since. As the Mayor arrived to the gym, protestors shouted at him, demanding 30,000 units of affordable housing be created for the homeless.
A video shows Adesegun approach the Mayor inside the gym, asking him if he can look her in the eye and explain why out of 300,000 units of affordable housing, only 5% house homeless New Yorkers. The Mayor smiles initially when Adesegun approaches, but then immediately tells her, "I'm doing my workout. I can't do this right now," as he stands up and walks away, trailed by a security guard.
"I shook the Mayor's hand this morning, and asked why he wouldn't do more to help homeless New Yorkers like myself," Adesegun said in a statement following the rally. "I am 72 years old and have been homeless for three years, but he made it clear that his morning workout was more important to him."
"We're not asking for much," she continued, "commit 30,000 units out of your housing plan for homeless New Yorkers. Every time we ask him to do more for homeless New Yorkers, he changes the subject to prevention and the economy—but am I just supposed to stay homeless?"
Adesegun is a Community Leader at VOCAL-NY, an organization that works with low-income people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, drug use, and incarceration. VOCAL-NY is part of the House Our Future NY campaign calling on the Mayor to increase housing commitments for the city's homeless from five percent to ten percent—or 30,000 out of his overall Housing New York plan to create 300,000 units of affordable housing by 2026.
According to House Our Future NY, there are nearly 62,000 people in NYC living in shelters, including more than 22,000 children. Members say when they ask the Mayor to commit more affordable units to the homeless, he refuses, claiming "preventative efforts" such as creating jobs and higher wages are the solution, according to City Limits.
The activists waited for de Blasio to complete his workout and continued to demand answers from the Mayor as he silently got into his SUV and was chauffeured away.
Nate Burden October 6, 2018 at 12:32 pm
It's the same out here on the coast of California. Land and housing have become super expensive, leaving affordable housing in the dark. People here are more concerned with wine production than housing those in need. The weather is great, who needs a roof, right? The politicians have let them down, and the subject always falls through the cracks. There are people living in creeks beds and under bridges, the forgotten Americans.
Twrecks October 6, 2018 at 3:05 pm
On one hand, there's de Blasio; on the other, a woman who believes that de Blasio cares about homelessness.
I'm not sure which of them is more delusional.
dave gold October 8, 2018 at 1:43 am
How do you serve as Mayor and not talk to constituents? I understand he is doing a workout but he seems to not like to answer questions by people who are in any way critical of him. He wants to run for President? Give me a break.
lizzz October 8, 2018 at 8:56 am
…create more jobs? Reality check… there are many CITY employees and employees of private companies living in homeless shelters. There are even more people living in overcrowded roommate situations, thus taking away housing stock from families with children that are often crammed into studios and 1 bedrooms since the 2 br/3br/4brs are occupied by singletons who can't afford their own apartments.
maybe let's find a way to make middle-income and low income developments profitable for developers instead of encouraging the development of luxury super slenders for the wealthy.
Tutor City was one of the first successful housing projects for middle income New Yorkers. What happened that people now only build apartments with marble bathrooms and Bosch dishwashers?

Good flavor that goes great with my wife's peach muffins.
Great bold taste, goes well w any creamer, gives a good jolt to wake me up asap on those tough early mornings!
Opened a new pkg yesterday , and my daughter smelled it and said ' are you making coffee '? I told her no , I was putting it in my glass container . Then I made some , best aroma and taste . Tried them all , love them all.
Great coffee from an outstanding company. Next order will be for a subscription after we finish up what we have bought so far.
This blend is soooo good. Smooth, flavorful (seems sort of bourbon/chocolate/chicory), rich—and just the right intensity (strong, but not overwhelming.) Pleasantly intense. Just what I need for mornings that require an early start.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this coffee. Simply because there are so many new coffe companies out there now it's so hard to pick one you will buy and like. With this company their coffe is great. I am looking forward to purchasing more coffe and swag with this company.
I purchased the sample package and am truly enjoying great coffee without bitterness. Keep up the good job and I will continue to be a fan for life.
I ordered this coffee on a whim while browsing online one day and I'm really glad I did. Brewtal Awakening is a strong, dark coffee that's loaded with flavor and energy. Tastes great, smells great and will definitely wake you up! One cup while getting ready in the morning, and a second for the drive to work, gives me everything I need to kick off a busy day. Seriously good coffee.
When you need an Espresso, this is certainly the way to go. I have a coffee machine that is all automatic and this Espresso works just right in my machine.
The coffee was really smooth. It had a great taste. Not bitter at all.
Set it and forget it.....And your on your Way!
This is by far the best coffee I have had in a long time. I love bold strong coffee and the high caffeine is just what I need. The taste, the smell, everything about it is excellent. Brewtal Awakening is the best. When I order coffee, this is on my list everytime. Get some!!!
My favorite decaf coffee by far! I can't drink regular coffee all the time so I find this hits spot on. Taste and smells great!

Q: how to add chapter name to number and title line in Appendices? Consider test case:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\LARGE\bfseries}{\thechapter}{10pt}{}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Test1}
\section{Test1.1}

\begin{appendices}
% I need Appendix added to "chapters" here.
\chapter{Test2}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

Chapter names were removed using \titleformat. But for all chapters in Appendices need to add chapter name to chapter number and title. Mean need to change A Test2 to Appendix A Test2. How to do this?

A: You can add another \titleformat change within the appendices environment:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\LARGE\bfseries}{\thechapter}{10pt}{}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Test1}
\section{Test1.1}

\begin{appendices}
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\LARGE\bfseries}{Appendix \thechapter}{10pt}{}
\chapter{Test2}
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

With an up-to-date LaTeX, you can add
\AddToHook{env/appendices/begin}{%

Q: What is the meaning of the phrase "trading the sensible for the pat"? In the following paragraph, what does the highlighted phrase means?

In Don Giovanni, what is perhaps Mozart's best-known opera, there exist two distinct endings, a phenomenon not entirely unknown during the composer's time, but one that invites the obvious question: Why did Mozart decide to include alternate endings for Don Giovanni when he did not do the same with his other famous operas, Die Zauberflöte and Le Nozze di Figaro? Another question, and one not so obvious, is: Why was Mozart himself uncertain as to which of the two endings to choose, as is evidenced in his correspondence with Lorenzo Da Ponte, the opera's librettist?
A common answer is to treat both these questions as one: Mozart was uncertain as to which ending to provide, so he wrote both endings. Such a reply ignores an important consideration: Why did Mozart decide to provide these specific endings? Libard provides a reasonable answer: The traditional ending—in the sense that it is the one that was popular during the composer's day and continues to be so today—is clearly more palatable for audiences. The hero, Don Giovanni, is chided for his libertine ways and then the cast appears in tutti, bellowing a merry chorus as the curtain falls. The audience is left having a light dose of entertainment, which, after all, was the aim of many of the operas of Mozart's time. Fine, but then what of the tragic ending? Libard—trading the sensible for the pat—offers little more than that such an ending reflects the political climate of the day.

A: Taking the whole sentence

Libard — trading the sensible for the pat — offers little more than that such an ending reflects the political climate of the day.

As Michael Harvey pointed out pat means glib so the suggestion is that instead of offering what the author believed to be the sensible explanation for the choice of ending Libard replaced it with the glib assertion that it was the political climate of the day which caused Mozart to offer the alternative ending. Offering explanations like "Well that is how it was in those days" does not really explain anything.

A: "Pat" can be an adjective meaning "already prepared and therefore said without thinking much", or "glib" (with little thought or sincerity).

The Noble Denton rules and technical guidelines are developed through extensive research and development, the know-how and experience of our engineers and the close feedback of our worldwide network of technical experts. The rules and guidelines represent the current state of scientific development and industry practice.
This document provides a description of the process used by the Noble Denton (ND) marine services service area of DNV GL when providing marine warranty survey (MWS) services to evaluate whether a marine operation can be accepted for the purposes of insurance-related MWS. It addresses both 'project' and MODU/MOU related MWS. The main deliverable of the MWS process is a certificate of approval or a marine operation declaration or towing declaration (certificate of approval (CoA)).
This document has been replaced by the standard DNVGL-ST-N001 which may be accessed through https://my.dnvgl.com.
This document may still be valid for some existing projects.
These guidelines present material that is common to more than one of the other Noble Denton guidelines for the approval of marine projects and was previously duplicated.
This document has been replaced by the standard DNVGL-ST-N002 which may be accessed through https://my.dnvgl.com.
Assessment for specific locations; such studies may result in a Certificate of Approval.
These guidelines have been developed for the load-out of items including offshore jackets, SPAR sections, modules, bridges and components from the shore onto floating or grounded barges and ships.
These guidelines have been developed for the marine aspects of construction, towage and installation of offshore concrete Gravity Base Structures (GBS) with a deck. They are intended to be applicable to deep draft structures, where much of the construction work is carried out afloat, as well as shallower draft structures where the construction of the GBS can be essentially completed in dry dock.
These guidelines describe the seabed and sub-seabed data required by Noble Denton to assess the suitability of locations for independent leg and mat-supported jack-up units, other mobile units operating on the seabed, and anchor installation and performance assessments for floating units.
These Guidelines are intended to lead to an approval by Noble Denton for entry into the Towing Vessel Approvability Scheme. They also provide guidance for the approval of towing vessels for a specific tow and bollard pull tests. They do not cover the towage of specific vessels or barges, guidance for which may be found in 0030/ND.
These guidelines have been developed for the design and approval of marine lifting operations, including subsea installations (but excluding pipelines and flowlines).
These guidelines have been developed for the design and approval of the transportation and installation of steel offshore jacket structures.
This document sets out the Guidelines on which Noble Denton approval of pipeline installation by laying, pulling or towing, would be based.
Towage of self-floating marine and oilfield equipment, civil engineering structures and ships but are not normally intended to apply to 'standard' cargoes such as bulk liquids, bulk solids, refrigerated cargoes, vehicles or containers.
Offshore or inshore floating structures, e.g. TLPs, concrete units and semi-submersibles.
Mooring of vessels during loadouts and installation operations.
These guidelines have been developed for the installation of offshore wind farms of various types. They mainly refer to other Noble Denton guidelines developed for similar operations, but giving alternatives which may apply to offshore wind farm installations.
The energy industry's only Standard for the warranty approval of marine operations is published by DNV GL. The Standard is the first to deploy a digital solution that provides users with information most relevant to a specific project.


On 17 May the Directors announced that the Company had received approaches which they were reviewing and which may or may not lead to offers for the share capital of the Company. The Directors also announced that they were reviewing various strategic options available to them which include remaining independent.
The Directors are continuing to review approaches which they have received and other options available to them for the development of the Company and a further announcement will be made as soon as possible.


I've been feeling sorry for myself lately. How dare I?
My recovery is too slow. I can't walk yet. I will recover. I will walk again.
My job doesn't allow me to make a difference in kids' lives. I have a job - which makes a difference in my own kids' lives.
I work all the time. I am lucky to be working at all.
More moles need to be removed. Each removed mole decreases my chance of melanoma.
The IRS wants big chunks of the kids' college accounts. The kids have college accounts.
My medical bills are astronomical. They'd be way worse if I didn't have insurance.
I miss my mommy. I had a mommy for 47 years.
Kristin is on Hospice. In so many ways, she will never die. She IS love.
Will winter never end? Spring will be all the more beautiful!
This is very clever and I felt better reading it. I should do my own list!
This is great, and it makes me want to create one, too!
Hi. Just so you know, I visit your blog just about every day but I haven't commented lately. Just because you are lucky with a beautiful healthy family, an income, etc, doesn't mean you can't complain sometimes! Hope you're back on just your own two feet soon!
I read you every day. I enjoy your blog becase it's not all about diapers, potty training, breastfeeding, etc. There's nothing wrong with writing about those things, they're just not part of my life experience any more. I look at your life as a preview of my own (except I have all boys) in many ways.
I am definitely faithful. I read every day. But, and you have no way really of knowing this, but I am not small. Not even close to small. So, if all you have is me, you have a VERY large faithful following.
I'd been meaning to leave you a comment lately to tell you how much I admire your optimism and positive attitude. You may not be feeling very positive at the moment, but in general I believe you are a very positive person. I especially loved this post.
Hang in there, Carol! Your leg is healing, spring is coming, and soon you'll have the mole fiesta behind you!
I read your blog daily. I love the list and am inspired to use it as a template when I'm feeling "grim about the mouth".
You inspire me in many, many ways.
And the IRS really wants part of the kids college money? What rat bastards!
Nice way to turn lemons into lemonade :D Hope your mood picks up soon - I think the winter wind down blahs are a factor. We need a blast of spring!
And never doubt that I am part of your faithful readers!
You'd be surprised just how many folks read your blog. I've been stopping by since last fall when I googled to see if Starbucks was selling their Pumpkin Spice latte yet - and up popped a hilarious picture of you pointing to a Starbucks menu board.
Good for you. You know I think sometimes that I have been so blessed. When the bad times hit, and sometimes they hit so hard...I will see someone on the street, a kid in a wheelchair, and think how lucky I am just for my crutches. Isn't that funny? Just for my crutches. People tell me I'm strong all the time, I don't believe them. I have myself firmly convinced that if people realized how lucky they are, it would be a completely different world.
I hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day. I had my glass of Guiness with dinner and went to bed early. :) I'm losing my Irishness to my thesis I swear. I'm glad that you found me, because I visit your blog daily now. I've been neglecting mine, but will get back to it.
I check in on your blog occasionally and read back to get caught up on you & your amazing family. I never comment, because there's usually some other person who's already made the clever remark & I figure "ditto" wouldn't add much to the convo! You ARE recovering; it just must seem like a snail's pace. And yeah, this winter has got to be the absolute most dreary we've EVER had. Maybe we're all just quietly hibernating until the gray skies are replaced by that mysterious bright element which starts with an S...hmmm, I forgot what it's called, and am left with only the vaguest recollection of what it looks like. On the bright side (ha ha), I think our dismal weather is a contributor to the many successful companies that started in the Northwest...what else is there to do but stay inside, drink our weight in coffee, and dream up stuff?


Separatists in Sri Lanka and India use the Indo-Lanka Peace Accord to scuttle attempts to reunify the nation after decades of war. 13A to the Constitution that followed the Indo-Lanka Peace Accord has been rendered useless as it failed to achieve peace in war time and is of no use in peace time. 13A was never widely discussed with the public. It was simply an imposition from India. In a strange case of legal absurdity, some claim Sri Lanka cannot change its own Constitution, the provisions relating to 13A! This must be a world's first where a sovereign nation cannot alter its own Constitution. There is no provision even in the Accord prohibiting Sri Lanka change the 13A. They quote the July 1987 Indo-Lanka Peace Accord arguing that it binds Sri Lanka and India according to which Constitutional amendments were made by way of the 13A.
Indian Interpretation of 13A Similar to MacArthur Constitution of Japan?
Interestingly, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has repeatedly vowed to repeal Article 9 of Japanese Constitution without consulting the Allies who imposed it 66 years ago.
Sri Lanka must follow the Japanese approach which can be achieved easier than Japan.
Validity of the Indo-Lanka Peace Accord has been challenged. It has been violated on many counts. For instance no referendum was held in the Eastern Province as required by the Accord by 31 December 1988. India didn't make good its obligations under the Accord and Sri Lanka too disregarded obligations imposed by the Accord. Operation of the Accord has become impossible by way of frustration. However, what is the status of the Accord considering the legal framework that existed at the time it was signed?
The President of Sri Lanka is bound by the Constitution. He has no right to violate the Constitution. Violation of the Constitution occurs when the President agrees to anything contrary to the Constitution. Indo-Lanka Peace Accord violates the Sri Lankan Constitution on many counts. Therefore it is void ab initio (illegal from the start).
b) The eastern province should constitute a separate administrative unit having its own distinct provincial council with a separate Governor, Chief Minister and Board of Ministers.
Chapter 1, section 4 (e): the franchise shall be exercisable at the election of the President of the Republic and of the Members of Parliament, and at every Referendum by every citizen who has attained the age of eighteen years, and who, being qualified to be an elector as hereinafter provided, has his name entered in the register of electors.
As such there is no room for a referendum to be held in the Eastern Province only as required by the Indo-Lanka Peace Accord. The Constitution as it was in July 1987 allows everyone the right to vote at a referendum.
Therefore, it is a violation of the Constitution as it stood in July 1987 to agree to an Accord requiring a referendum to be held only in one province depriving the People (as construed in the Constitution) the right to vote at such a referendum.
Section 2.18 of the Accord states: The official language of Sri Lanka shall be Sinhala. Tamil and English will also be official languages.
This is a gross violation of the Sri Lankan Constitution as it stood in July 1987. Chapter 4, section 18 of the Constitution states: The Official Language of Sri Lanka shall be Sinhala.
By agreeing to the contrary, the President has violated the Constitution. Indo-Lanka Peace Accord is hence invalid from the start as it violates Constitutional provisions. Sri Lankan parliament didn't ratify the Accord. The People didn't ratify the Accord.
Indo-Lanka Peace Accord is intentional violation of the Constitution and therefore there is no binding agreement between the parties. In a different legal system, the Constitution of the United States provides that the President shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur. However, the Sri Lankan Constitution does not award such power to the President. Indo-Lanka Peace Accord is not a treaty either and as such it does not have the power and validity of a treaty.
It is time Sri Lanka declares the Indo-Lanka Peace Accord invalid. Indian point of view on the unilateral annulment of the Accord is that it cannot be done unilaterally. However, on the other hand, it cannot be upheld or enforced unilaterally either. Since the Accord is void ab initio, a declaration of its invalidity with notification sent to India would suffice.
Good analysis here by Dilrook for which we thank him. Now we have our various Constitutional rights as well as the Vienna Convention (article by Neville Ladduwahetty) to show us the way out of this 13-A mess.
We seem to be living in the worst of times, and yet the best of times to change matters for the better. Change has to come to make the vast majority of people in Lanka feel safe & secure. Tamil Nadu will have to look after herself. Cut TN loose, or else they will never grow up.
The Bearded man audaciously said that PC Elections will be held with no changes. He must have said that with Presidents authority. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Hobsons choice. We are forced to wait and see.
Yes, the Accord must go, but it must be done in the proper way, without being confrontational and creating unnecessary hostility. This is NOT because India is "big" and we are "small", but because a courteous way is the right way to handle it. The law is on our side in this issue and we should be able to handle this without being insecure regarding our case.
After reading this article and looking at it in retrospect I wonder how much Tamil Nadu played in the drafting of this 13th amendment back in 1987. The reason is that the details point to a thorough knowledge of the workings of the Sri Lankan people. Something that New Delhi would not be an expert but Jayalalithaa and the DMK to the AIDMK would have. I believe that this document was shoved down the throat of Sri Lanka as a precautionary measure in case Colombo won the war.
We think the 13-A's (1987) main purpose then was to 'divide Sri Lanka' for purposes of the Cold War (1946-1991). During his period as President, JRJ was leaning westward, and India was with the Russian bloc. Hence the forced N&E merger etc. for Indian/Russian security.
Now matters have changed. Russia is now with NATO (joined in 1991 and intensified in 1994) and India is leaning westward. But we are still stuck with the 13-A and the new problems it is creating, among others with the Indian elections due next year and Delhi wooing Tamil Nadu via Colombo. Also Tamil Nadu attempting to solve their Caste/poverty problems via Sri Lanka with interested outside countries sniffing around. None of this is for Lanka's benefit. Time to remove the 13-A and cut loose TN.
J.N.Dixit was the Indian envoy in Colombo during that time the 13-A was imposed on Lanka. He was a Tamil man born in Chennai. He must have seen possibilities for Tamil Nadu expansion ambitions (earlier Dravidastan plans headed by TN) that were thwarted by PM Nehru through his anti secession laws. Dixit died of a heart attack at the time the Tsunami hit Lanka and the southern coast of India in Dec 1994, carrying away the Sea Tiger might as well as some ltte VIPs.
So JN Dickshit was a Tamil! That explains a lot.
We wish with all our Hearts that past matters are understood, forgiven and put aside between India & Sri Lanka, and confidence prevails on both sides now to allow the 13-A to be removed. Let 'Satyameva Jayate' win – Namaste, Mother India !
Tamil Nadu has to grow up and out of old and ancient negative socially bogged down ways. Rise TN, and follow the wonderful 4 Hindu Yogas – set your people free ! Let them know of a Plan and give them Hope.
Reading the articles about RAW, I doubt very much AYTHING positive will EVER come from Endia.
Endia must be smashed into pieces of independent nations. We should DIVIDE Endia with the help of Pakistan and China. Then the pieces will fight each other leaving us alone. If one piece wants to fight against us, we can get help from another piece.
Have no hope on Endia. Hopeless.
Where fear & greed govern, there is no hope. Where populations listen to true Gurus and meditate, Hope arises, and Right Thought & Right Action happens more often. We must Hope that the true Gurus of India prevail.
Should not this be applicable to SL as well?. Or, do we have one already?. I do not think so. Look at the debacle of Norochchalai. The ministers and high officials are thinking of distribution of power only now, after building all three phases leaving the people to wonder whether our top officials (and ministers) work according to a plan on anything.
I am not well informed about what is happening re the Norochchalai plant. But, of course we should work on a Plan. That is why I have been suggesting that there ought to be a permanent Science Advisory Committe to advice the Parliament, not just GoSL. Then technical errors can be at least minimised or avoided.
THEIR green & fear will affect US adversely.
Greed & Fear everywhere will affect us adversely …..

Although some few elements are sewn by foot powered sewing machines (no electricity) the amazing sculptural elements can only be done by hand. The artisans work at bamboo trestles where the embroidery frame is tied to the bamboo sawhorse. Thus it is easy to adjust a frame to fit any size tapestry.
Padding under the silver thread adds height.
Another bench, another work in progress possibly even more elaborate than the first.
