Millions pumped into improving disabled facilities at Cleland Train Station
Cleland councillor Louise Roarty believes passengers will see a real benefit when the work is completed early next year.

Cleland Rail Station (Image: Tom Dick/Wishaw Press)
Commuters at Cleland Railway Station will see a number of improvements to the station over the next few months.
As part of a £9.5 million improvement plan at three locations on the Glasgow - Shotts - Edinburgh line the station will be upgraded with a new footbridge and better disabled access.
She said: "I have campaigned for this firstly with Cleland Community Council and now as an elected member of the council, for over five years.
"I am delighted Network Rail are investing in the infrastructure to allow all commuters using the station access for, wheelchairs users, prams, buggies and luggage.
"They have made great progress in completing site investigation and working on the design, which will include a new footbridge incorporating a lift on both sides of the track.
"This is a significant amount of money that is being invested at the station and it is definitely welcomed."
In 2016/17 Cleland Station had up to 90,000 entry and exits averaging around 250 commuters per day.
The work on the platforms will start in September and be completed in March.
The original footbridge will be left in place until after completion of works, before it's removed.
Councillor Roarty added: "This is the perfect time, whilst the electrifying project is underway, to do these essential works for the better of all our residents and surrounding area.
"Up until now disabled users had to travel to Carfin for access to and from the train, which is clearly not acceptable. Cleland is one of the busiest stations on the line so it should have the best facilities."

I always love a good Asian-inspired meal, and this has seriously jumped to the top of my list of favorites at the moment. I love this variation of lettuce wraps like I've never loved lettuce wraps before (and I kind of seriously love lettuce wraps . . . the proof is here and here). This variation is, to no surprise, infused with Thai flavors. We're talking peanut sauce, lime, cilantro, fresh veggies, and chicken. The texture is fabulous by offering a little bit of crunch thanks to those water chestnuts and butter lettuce. These are fresh, flavorful, and left us wishing we had doubled the recipe! My husband said, "When I think of a Food Network competition, these are what I imagine would come out of it." Yeah . . . I guess they are Food Network worthy according to the hubby.
The peanut sauce offers a genuine sweetness because of that yummy honey. You can make it spicy if you prefer by adding extra Sriracha sauce. I kept it mild so my little one-year-old wouldn't complain. Either way . . . you're going to loooooove it! This sauce is what really made these lettuce wraps super duper awesome!
We ate these with a side of brown rice. The meal was perfect . . . well, better than perfect.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet. Sauté the yellow onion and bell pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt until the vegetables are fragrant and soft, 7-10 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, mix the ingredients for the sauce together, cover and refrigerate until serving.
To the veggies, add the green onions, carrots, garlic, chicken, and water chestnuts. Stir and then add remaining salt, pepper, Sriracha, soy sauce and cilantro. Stir well. Allow the mixture to cook for 1-2 minutes more and remove from heat.
Serve the mixture in lettuce cups/leaves and garnish with the Sweet Peanut Sauce, additional chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice.


Daniel Laryea, has been selected by Confederation of African Football as the only Ghanaian centre referee, for the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.
The 32-year-old will join the elite referees for a pre-AFCON seminar in Morocco.
He was last year selected for the CHAN tournament in Morocco.
Laryea in 2004 was the youngest referee to officiate a Ghana Premier League game at 24 years.
The FIFA badge referee started his international career in 2014 and have been on the ascendancy as far as progression is concerned.
In the midst of corruption allegations against referees in the country, it appears CAF still considers him amongst top referees on the continent and he has been appointed to officiate in the prestigious African tournament.

Continuum, the best new series of 2013, airs tonight on the Syfy Channel
Filed under: Sci-Fi Café, TV — 5 Comments
Following on the heels of the successful Canada import Lost Girl, the Vancouver based sci-fi series Continuum premiered this year on the Syfy Channel in the U.S. and it easily earns the status of best new TV series of 2013. Like Lost Girl, the first season has already aired in Canada, and is being shown one season behind here, hopefully to catch up in the U.S. market later this year. The series has already been renewed in Canada, and Season 2 is being filmed on location in Vancouver, B.C. Tonight, episode four airs at 7 p.m. Central/8 p.m. Eastern on the Syfy Channel. You'll want to set up your DVR for this series and if you've missed episodes 1-3 you can still catch them on primetime Free Per View.
Continuum stars Star Trek 2009, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and Conan the Barbarian's Rachel Nichols as a British Columbia cop from the year 2077 named Kiera Cameron who gets transported back in time to 2012 where she tracks down a group of rebel terrorists who have come to the past with her. The terrorists, who go by the name Liber8, were sentenced to death and at their execution someone smuggled in a device that created a warp field that spun the convicts back in time and sucked in security officer Cameron. Like her cool and tough performance as Scarlet in the first G.I. Joe movie, Nichols is perfect as a no-nonsense cop, quick to act in a gunfight and several other situations she never could have trained for.
The producers of Continuum have created the most seemingly realistic future technology here along with a creepy possible future political structure where corporations have bailed out the defaulting government and eventually taken over all its functions, taking away individual liberties from citizens. The police force Cameron works for is in protection of this new world order, and the great twist of Continuum is having the terrorists' ideal be a return to our political structure today. Continuum is the series many hoped the Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica would be, but in only three episodes Continuum has already surpassed that other Syfy Channel series in production quality and story.

Syfy Channel special celebrates 20 years on TV
Filed under: Con Culture, Retro Fix, Sci-Fi Café, TV — Leave a comment
Last night the Syfy Channel premiered a new show documenting its 20 years of bringing science fiction and related programming to cable TV. The Syfy Channel 20th Anniversary Special chronicles the key landmarks of the channel going back to its inception in 1992 as a network of mostly reruns of classic sci-fi series like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and the original Star Trek, as well as collecting and expanding upon series that didn't make it on other networks, like Sliders and Andromeda. The 2-hour show is a great way to reminisce about all the good–and bad–TV that has sucked you in, featuring commentary by series creators and cast, and narrated by Lois and Clark star Dean Cain.
Actors Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge and Michael Shanks discuss the first big hit for the network originally called the Sci Fi Channel: the Stargate franchise, including Stargate SG-1, and spinoffs Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, as well as the made-for-TV movies.
Then there were early series that didn't last long, like USA Network series that moved to Sci Fi, like Good vs. Evil, The Invisible Man, Welcome to Paradox, and Mission Genesis.
Ben Browder and Claudia Black chat about the four seasons of the Australian production, Farscape, the next big series for the Sci Fi Channel. The renaissance of science fiction fans fighting for a series to return occurred with Farscape, resulting in Brian Henson bring a 4-hour mini-series event to round out and tie up the loose ends of the series.

Who Are the Richest Bitcoin Millionaires?
By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler • July 6, 2017
six × = fifty four
Curiosity about the identities of the richest Bitcoin millionaires rises every time the price of the digital currency jumps higher.
This year alone has brought staggering boosts in wealth for those Bitcoin owners. A person who owns 1,000 bitcoins becomes $100,000 wealthier every time the Bitcoin price goes up just $100. The price of Bitcoin has soared more than $1,500 higher this year.
That means a Bitcoin millionaire holding 1,000 bitcoins has enjoyed a $1.5 million gain in less than six months.
But Bitcoin millionaires aren't as common as you might think, given its huge gains.
At the current Bitcoin price of about $2,500, a person needs 400 bitcoins to qualify as a Bitcoin millionaire.
According to BitInfoCharts.com, just over 4,300 Bitcoin addresses hold 400 or more bitcoins. But since one person can have multiple Bitcoin addresses, the actual number of Bitcoin millionaires is certainly much lower than 4,300.
Related: How to Buy Bitcoins – Your Guide to Digital Profits
It's impossible to calculate the exact number of Bitcoin millionaires, or to even know how many bitcoins one person may own. The reason is that while all Bitcoin addresses are public, who owns them isn't.
What we do know is that Bitcoin wealth is extremely concentrated. Almost two-thirds of all bitcoins are held in just 0.01% of the addresses (those containing 100 or more bitcoins). And an astonishing 89.4% of all bitcoins are held in 0.8% of the addresses (those containing 10 or more bitcoins).
Bitcoin Amount % of Addresses (total) % of Bitcoins (Total)
0 – 0.001 58.08% (100%) 0.01% (100%)
0.001 – 0.01 17.16% (41.92%) 0.07% (99.99%)
0.01 – 0.1 14.9% (24.76%) 0.52% (99.91%)
0.1 – 1 6.62% (9.86%) 2.42% (99.39%)
1 – 10 2.44% (3.24%) 7.56% (96.97%)
10 – 100 0.7% (0.8%) 26.27% (89.41%)
100 – 1,000 0.09% (0.1%) 22.92% (63.15%)
1,000 – 10,000 0.01% (0.01%) 21.69% (40.23%)
10,000 – 100,000 0% (0%) 17.08% (18.54%)
100,000 – 1,000,000 0% (0%) 1.46% (1.46%)
Of course, since these Bitcoin addresses aren't linked to the owner names, there's no way to create a comprehensive list of Bitcoin millionaires.
Urgent: An incredibly rare gold anomaly is shaping up in the markets as we speak — one that has occurred ONLY twice in the past 20 years. And it's about to happen again. Find out more…
On the other hand, we do know of a handful of prominent people who most definitely are Bitcoin millionaires…
7 of the World's Top Bitcoin Millionaires
While we can't provide exact numbers, we know enough about this group to ballpark how much Bitcoin they own and what it's worth at today's prices…
Estimated bitcoins owned: 1.5 million
Estimated value at $2,500: $3.75 billion
The Winklevoss twins gained fame when they sued Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly stealing the idea for Facebook Inc. (NYSE: FB) from them. But in 2013, they used part of their $65 million settlement to buy 1.5 million bitcoins. That investment – valued at $11 million at the time by The New York Times — has increased more than 31,000% since then. The identical twins aren't just Bitcoin investors, though. They've also launched one of the leading Bitcoin exchanges, Gemini, and developed a proposal for a Bitcoin ETF (the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust) that was rejected by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March.
Estimated bitcoins owned: 1 million
Estimated value at $2,500: $2.5 billion
The mysterious creator of Bitcoin is believed to control about 1 million bitcoins, most of those mined in the earliest days of the cryptocurrency when only a handful of programmers were even aware it existed. Back then the block reward was 50 bitcoins, and the difficulty so low that you could mine plenty of Bitcoin with an average laptop. It's unclear if Nakamoto is a pseudonym for one person or a group of people, or where he/she/they may be now. But the bitcoins known to belong to Nakamoto have never been spent or transferred.
The rest of these names might not be quite as familiar…

Independent films are a great way to explore art and culture, so I watch them often. The Suffering of Ninko provides a unique look at Japanese folklore, and it is entertaining and thought provoking.
The movie is in Japanese and has English subtitles. I like the way this causes me to set aside my multi-tasking ways and pay close attention to the little details as I read the words.
This is an artistic film and it combines modern and traditional Japanese art. It is a mix of live action and animation, so it gives the movie an otherworldly feel. The tale is based on folklore and seems to be real at some points and very surreal at others.
Ninko, a diligent young Buddhist monk, has a serious problem: women (and some men) find him sexually irresistible.
After a troubling encounter with a naked masked woman, he sets out on a journey to purify himself of these sexual advances and haunting fantasies.
One day, he arrives in a village decimated by a rapacious mountain Goddess, Yama-Onna, who seduces and kills all the men of the valley… whereby Ninko has met his match.
I went nuts the minute I saw the DVD art. This does look artsy and surreal! Very cool!
My daughter would love this one.
My son enjoys these DVDs.
This movie reminds me of "Temptation of a Monk" with Joan Chen.
Thanks for the tip, Jeffrey. Haven't seen it, but will check it out.
We like foreign films, and my daughter is really wanting to visit Japan one day and learn the language so this would help her.
This looks like a unique film.
I found this part interesting to read about this movie; The tale is based on folklore, unlike any folklore I ever knew or heard of through-out my years here on earth.
Interesting,,,,I will have to check it out.
This looks like an interesting movie. A reviewer said it was weird, even for a Japanese movie.
I love weird things and the lead actor is adorable.
I would love to win this so that I can show it to my fellow Senior Home residents on movie night. Thanks for running such a nice sweepstakes.
Thanks for running this sweepstakes.
The trailer was very entertaining. I enjoy the unique cultural perspective of foreign films as well. Thank you for the chance to win.
Seems like a very interesting film. Thanks for the opportunity!
The world is getting smaller and smaller. I'm never too old to learn about the culture of other countries.
Suffering of Ninko looks very good. Thanks for sharing.
It sounds like an interesting movie. I love exploring different cultures.
I have always enjoyed watching foreign movies.

I am usually pretty good at telling whether or not I am going to like gear when I get it to review, and I was dead wrong with this one. This skate dolly looked like a fun little tool, but I didn't think it would be something I'd use much, boy was I wrong. I love this thing. Can't get any simpler! And this isn't cheaply made, it is a well crafted tool. You can find the Konova Skate Dolly here.
I'm not sure I understand the point of the riser. Skate dolly design evolved to position the platform under the axles to enable the camera to be situated closer to the ground if desired. Is the Konova skate dolly able to be inverted and camera (or tripod head) mounted on the other side? Is there enough clearance?
The riser helps keep the lens from getting caught on the dolly. Without it, many lenses would be touching the knobs and wouldn't let you tilt down as much.
Another option….a dolly riser. I just received this one and it's really nice quality. I will be using the riser with my Revolve Camera Dolly when it comes in next week.
Hello great video. I've learned a lot. My question however is not regarding the slider. How do you achieve the really cool gray backdrop? Is that done completely in post or do you do that with a backdrop and lights? Thanks.


Naturally, it helps if you already have an online audience you can tap for listening to your regular podcast (like I did), but that hasn't stopped thousands of people from building successful side business ideas into lucrative podcasts—including Alex Blumberg, founder of Gimlet Media who teaches how to use storytelling and launch a podcast. You can also check out this class from podcaster and entrepreneur, Lewis Howes, about how to make money podcasting as a side business idea, which regularly broadcasts for free on CreativeLive.
Some jobs on UHRS take too long or just pay so little that they aren't worth it, and often you'll find that's the case. However, I did manage to find a job once that paid 7 cents per task, and was averaging $US10 an hour doing so. Again, not bad money when you're travelling! Plus, it's a great way to pass the time between clients on Cambly or NiceTalk.
You can grow orchids and sell them. It takes time to grow one, but this can be a great business idea if you do not mind investing time and effort on it. Orchids normally grow in tropical areas, but they can be grown in greenhouses or as houseplants. You can also consider offering floral arrangement services to local inns, wedding planners, hotels, churches, florists, and roadside flower sales.
2. Social media consultant — Larger firms can hire an agency or full-time staff member to run their Facebook and Twitter accounts, but small businesses often have to take care of their own social media marketing. With so many other responsibilities, business owners may be too busy or overwhelmed to spend time coming up with a great social media strategy. As a consultant, you can help them determine the best tactics, posting schedules and content for their target audience. As their follower count grows, so will your business.
Like anything else in this world, you'll either need a lot of time or a lot of money. If you have both, then clearly, you're ahead of the game. But most people have more of the former rather than the latter. But considering that time is finite and we only have a certain amount of it, using your time wisely and managing your time properly is crucial to ensure your success.
Blogging is still a viable online business idea, and one with as much potential as ever. Just make sure that you start a blog on something that people actually want to read about. If that happens to be something you're passionate about that's great. But you need to understand that it's way easier to monetize a blog about organic dog food than it is to make money from a blog about obscure literary fiction.
Have a talent for crafting or creating other handmade goods? From bracelets to phone cases, rings, furniture, and more, Etsy is one of the world's largest independent marketplaces that's perfect for anyone who is creative and willing to sell their handmade creations. As long as you have the space, this can make for one of the best home business ideas that can be started as a side hustle with a very limited investment. Consider these 5 steps to starting an Etsy store, from Handmadeology. Then, after you're able to build your brand and grow your own audience, you can start an eCommerce site of your own and retain a larger portion of the revenue from your product sales—making this a very lucrative potential business idea if you're able to find an audience that loves your products.
One of the easiest ways to make a few bucks online is affiliate marketing. An affiliate is essentially someone who receives a commission for selling products for other companies, whether it's on their own site or through another channel like eBay.

Cyber Security - Are we Atlants 2?
current page: Video interview with Karsten Nohl
Video interview with Karsten Nohl, Cryptographer and Security Researcher
A digital world simply can't be made entirely safe. Aren't there simply too many risks attached to it for us to put so much reliance on it?
Karsten Nohl: The digital world is becoming more and more like our physical world, which is not completely free of danger either. Since the car was invented there have been motor accidents. And similarly, every new invention, every new technological wave, is inevitably going to bring side effects along with it. But the benefits typically outweigh such problems. And happily that's also the case in the world of the Internet. But of course for this to remain the case in the future, we're going to need to spend a lot of resources and do a lot of detailed work to keep the criminals out of our networks. But there will always be a little leakage.
What would be your practical advice – to businesses in particular?
Karsten Nohl: Just as we do in the real world, we should concentrate on protecting against things that have already happened to other businesses and other people. We only have to look at the newspapers to see that there are a lot of ransomware Trojans out there, and that private data can sometimes be stolen even from very large providers which have hundreds of millions of customer data records.
But aside from all that, very little is happening. For example, the sort of cyber-terror attacks that are constantly prophesied in the media, involving whole countries being cut off entirely from the Internet, have not yet occurred. In my view, we have little to fear from such risks: in fact it might only make our lives more complicated to live in fear of them all the time.

Shivaji was secular, not Anti-Muslim

I wonder what is not clear about the CAB (Citizenship Amendment Bill) that makes it so confusing for you. The CAB in its current form discriminates against the Muslims from the word GO.
A refugee is a refugee, who is seeking a better life in our country because of persecution in his own.
How does it matter what religion he belongs to?
Article 14 and 15 of our constitution clearly mandates that every person be given the same treatment irrespective of what religion he belongs to. What is not clear about this?
The CAB once clubbed with the NRC will play as one of the biggest discriminatory measures to throw the residents of our country of ONE COMMUNITY into the shiny new detention centers being built….. One of them is being built in New Bombay in your own State….. What is so unclear about that?
You say that you are inspired by Shivaji Maharaj and that you and your party have pledged to follow on his footsteps.
So when did Shivaji Maharaj discriminate against the Muslims even while he was fighting for Swarajya against the Mughals?
Have you forgotten the names of Darya Sarang, Haider Ali Kohari, Siddhi Ibrahim Khan, Siddhi Hilal and his son? Or are those names unclear to you on the pages of history?
Did you not read the story of 700 Pathans joining Shivaji's army after quitting away from Adilshah and Maharaj welcoming them with open arms?
Isn't Shivaji Maharaj hailed in Maharashtra as one of the most secular Kings under whose rule, people of all religions thrived and prospered and vowed to bring in Swarajya together???
If you have indeed followed the ideals set by Shivaji Maharaj then this simple idea of secularism should not be so unclear to you.
And the people of Maharashtra have always been proud of this religious diversity.
We have eaten in the same plates as our Muslim friends, they have played Holi with us and we have done our best to support them when they keep Rozas.
And this was right from the time when the idea of Swarajya was formed…..way before the idea of India came into being…..an idea formulated by your ideological mentor….. Shivaji Maharaj.
Now, maybe it doesn't matter, how you vote tomorrow in the RS. Maybe the CAB will pass anyways but what would be more important is to know if you would stand up and be counted.
In the end, even Shivaji did not win, he died before the final war ended. It was much later that the Great Maratha Empire reached the throne of Delhi…… But do you know why we love and remember Shivaji Maharaj more than anyone else…… Because he stood up and was counted for the stand he took.
What now remains to be seen is…… Will you do the same? Will you follow the path of justice and equality taught by Shivaji Maharaj OR have you forgotten what he stood for?
Disclaimer: Not all battles are fought to be won, some battles you fight even if you know you will lose, just to be counted….. Just to have fought for on the right side.

Online First Meeting Highlights
Using Value-Based Contracts to Manage Oncology Costs While Keeping Focus on the Patient
JHOP - December 2021 Vol 11, No 6 - AVBCC 2021 Highlights
Managing the costs of oncology care while maintaining focus on outcomes of value to patients is increasingly challenging for health plans and self-insured employers, who are looking to value-based agreements to help them in this regard.
During a panel discussion at the 2021 Summit of the Association for Value-Based Cancer Care, various stakeholders weighed in on the prospectus head for such contracts. Rob O'Brien, RPh, Vice President, Specialty, Real Endpoints, Florham Park, NJ, served as moderator.
Oncologic drugs represent approximately 70% of the cost of cancer management, said Steven Peskin, MD, MBA, MACP, Executive Medical Director, Population Health and Transformation, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, "so it's ridiculous to talk about value-based agreements without including drugs." Other components of value-based contracts should include molecular and genetic testing, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology.
Bhavesh Modi, RPh, Vice President of Pharmacy at New York–based Healthfirst, which covers 1.7 million lives, most of whom are covered by Medicaid or Medicare, looks for efficiencies to manage the growing cost of oncologic care, which is approximately 7% of the total spend for the insurer. "As we look at the growing spend, we started to build out infrastructure, inclusive of first working with our pharmacy benefits manager and putting in management approaches there," he said. "Then we built out a team in our department that focuses solely on the medical side of the cost. As we look forward in better managing the total spend, we are now moving forward toward pathways and how we can implement those. It will give us a better insight into the total cost of care."
When Mr O'Brien asked what self-insured employers are looking for in oncology management, Magda Rusinowski, BBA, Vice President, Business Group on Health, Washington, DC, responded that employers are strongly committed to a move away from fee for service toward value, but "it's not an easy change."
Employers recognize their responsibility to steer patients to the best possible treatment and the appropriate site of care, "but they also need to be able to afford it," Ms Rusinowski said.
Delivery of virtual medicine, precision medicine, and evidence-based pathways, in addition to value-based payments, are components that employers are exploring, and will require partners to support them in this journey, "because they realize that the opportunity is huge, and the cost of not doing it is ultimately the cost of not giving the best treatment they are trying to secure for their patient," she said.
"Across our network, we have 44 different value-based care arrangements with various entities [eg, national and regional payers]. We need to focus on developing a level of trust. Can we trust each other to have a deeper relationship to move things toward value that benefits the patient? If we're going to do value-based care, we have to keep the patient as the focus," Dr Peskin said.
In executing value-based contracts, building trust between manufacturers and payers is paramount to ensure that their goals are mutual, said Atheer Kaddis, PharmD, Vice President, Pharmacy Services, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Detroit. To achieve this end, data must be more readily accessible to health plans.
The lack of data "has held up a lot of the agreements that we have tried to put in place," Dr Kaddis said. "We've been successful with only about 20% of the contracts that we've evaluated. Of those 20%, the majority are persistence contracts."
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has recently partnered with 4 other Blues' plans to launch Evio Pharmacy Solutions. A major focus is the use of real-world evidence in discussions with pharmaceutical manufacturers to put into place value-based contracts, said Dr Kaddis.
"The ultimate goal is to reduce our reliance on rebates, focus more on outcomes, and at the end of the day address total cost of care and better care for members," Dr Kaddis emphasized.
He added, "I believe it's very important to have another party involved in these discussions. There's quite a bit of lack of trust between manufacturers and health plans when it comes to value-based contracts, and I believe that having a third party that has an objective view is going to be important today and into the future."
In addition to Evio, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is also a member of Real Endpoints, "another entity that helps with value-based contracting," Dr Kaddis said. "We're looking at a lot of different partners in helping us bring these value-based contracts to fruition and I do believe that that need will grow over time."
Comprehensive genomic testing is another important piece to value-based contracting; although it is costly, if used appropriately, it will influence better outcomes and ultimately attenuate costs through avoidance of ineffective treatments, and consequently avoidance of complications, said Dr Peskin.
"I completely agree that genomic profiling is the wave of the future," said Lalan Wilfong, MD, Vice President, Payer Relations and Practice Transformation, McKesson, Dallas, TX. "We need to be doing it. It needs to happen more readily in our patient population."
One of the biggest challenges is that genomic profiling typically occurs in the very beginning of a patient's journey with cancer, when patients have yet to meet their deductible.
"So we have a disconnect between payers saying they cover genomic testing, but the patient is liable for the cost," said Dr Wilfong. "I see that as a barrier to genomic testing. A lot is the disconnect between benefit design and coverage, and the patient responsibility for payment before they've met their out-of-pocket deductibles."
In the conversation about value, "we're approaching a point of we're really not sure where the episode of care starts," said Ms Rusinowski. "We all would be aligned here to say that value in cancer is driven by early detection and getting people into the right treatment and to right testing as soon as possible."
She continued, "When we talk about genetic testing, genomic science, and precision medicine, preventive screening and early detection also have to be a component of value, but none of the value-based contracts that we're talking about capture the value of early detection from more precise, less expensive, and more accessible tests."
The next wave of innovation from the self-insured employer perspective is comprehensive end-to-end programs that manage the patient starting early in the cancer cycle (from diagnosis), and guide them through the complex system of testing and treatment for their particular cancer, believes Ms Rusinowski.

A: There's a few problems with this code. The most immediate is that you are missing an end if. You don't see this because, as noted, you haven't consistently indented your code. Your editor should do this automatically for you and would make spotting this very easy to spot - I cut and paste your code into emacs, auto indented the subprogram and the problem was clear. However where the endif should go was not, and so in what follows I've had to guess where to put it, and as you haven't supplied a complete program it's difficult to test what I have done, but even if I have made a mistake I hope the ideas behind what I have done is clear.
Anyway the next issue is DON'T USE GOTO! There's very rarely any need and it usually leads, as here, to confusing, so called spaghetti code. Instead learn your control structures and use them. A do loop and a few EXITs will tidy this up nicely.
Next all your constants are single precision. Yet all your variables are double precision. As a result your routine will not be as precise as you want. In a double precision code if you see 1.0 with no other qualifier there is almost always something wrong.
So how to fix that. Well Double Precision is so 1980s, so instead learn about kinds, covered in detail any number of times on stackoverflow, or look in your Fortran book (you do have one?) and use them. Anyway putting this all together with the above caveat (and also that I've only spent 5 mins on this, in practice I would tidy further but breakfast is calling) I would write your routine something like
    !subroutine No.10: to calculate positive capilary pressure required

Death reported in a southern town as protesters continue to demand dismissal of officials associated with old regime.
Fresh anti-government protests have erupted across Tunisia, with one young man dying during clashes in the south of the country.
A police headquarters was set ablaze and army troops deployed in the northwestern town of Kef.
In a separate development on Sunday, Fahrat Rajhi, the new interior minister, suspended all activities of the country's former ruling party, the RCD, according to a statement carried by the official TAP news agency.
Rajhi intends to seek the party's dissolution, the statement said.
Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri, reporting from Tunis, said that the move was made for what the government is terming "security reasons", as many "people are blaming RCD members for violence ... and looting".
Protesters have demanded the dismissal of officials who were closely associated with the government of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the former president, who was ousted by a popular revolt three weeks ago.
The fatality was reported in the southern town of Kebili afer he was hit by a tear-gas canister during clashes with security forces on Saturday.
He succumbed to his wounds on Sunday, the state news agency said. Several other people were hospitalised as a result of their wounds.
TAP said that security forces had intervened when protesters attempted to set fire to a national guard post outside the town.
It said the young men then attacked another national guard post, before marching on the governor's residence, prompting the troops to intervene.
Protests and sit-in's were also reported outside the governor's office on Saturday, with protesters calling for him to be replaced.
In the northwestern town of Kef, the army moved in after at least two people were killed and another 17 injured in clashes on Saturday, according to the interior ministry.
Fresh protests erupted on Sunday, with angry men setting a local police station on fire.
"There's panic in the town. The district's security forces building is on fire," Raouf Hadaoui, a labour union activist, told the AFP news agency.
Hadaoui said several police cars had been torched and fires were threatening to spread from the police station to neighbouring homes.
"The army has been deployed all around the town and is trying to help the ambulance services," he said.
TAP reported that demonstrators had taken documents and equipment from the police station before setting it on fire.
Several hundred demonstrators had been calling for Khaled Ghazouani, the local police chief, to be sacked for abuse of power, the agency said.
Ghazouani slapped a protester during the demonstration on Saturday, and has now been placed under arrest, according to the interior ministry.
In a separate development, two members of the security forces in Sidi Bouzid, in central Tunisia, were arrested over their suspected role in the deaths on Friday of two detainees.
Hundreds had also demonstrated there.


Camelback Resort in the Poconos just announced that they're extending their snow tubing season until April 28th, so you can go have some fun during Spring Break.
Their skiing season is over, but the resort still has 8 feet of snow on the ground. In fact, 30 lanes remain open for snow tubing, according to their website. This is so cool.
Depending on the warmer weather, you may be tubing without a coat this month. Plus, when you stay overnight, you'll get up to 4 snow tubing tickets (per room) for free.
Also, don't forget about Aquatopia, their indoor water park. It's always 84 degrees in there. My favorite thing to do is relax in the indoor/outdoor hot tub. It's absolutely amazing. Much like the snow tubing passes, you can get free admission to Aquatopia when you stay overnight at the resort.
Plus, if you're taking your family, the Easter Bunny will be at the resort for pictures. There will also be spring crafts, magic shows, reptile shows, and more.
If you haven't been to Camelback in a while, there are some new attractions: bumper cars, laser tag, and an escape room.
Get more info on their website and book your spring break vacation now.
I just told my hubby to pack his bags, this sounds like a ton of fun.


Mobile Platforms Are On Fire!
More and more, businesses are noticing that mobile devices are playing a highly expanded role in how websites are displayed, especially in the ecommerce world.
A recent study has shown that 67% of people start shopping on one device and finish the buying process on another. And of those people, 90% expect a consistent cross-device experience. In light of this, companies are starting to place a greater emphasis on cross-screen viewing, especially since over 50% of all ecommerce traffic now comes from mobile.
One good example of cross-platform consistency is the use of "Programmatic Display". This is something that allows you to show particular content to specific consumers, at specific times, based on their shopping behaviors, personal profile, level of engagement and particular tastes. Displayed across ALL devices.


Standard, Large or Magnum Index refers to the size of the numbers and pips (suits) on the card. Large (Jumbo) index cards have larger, easier-to-read numbers and suits than Standard (Regular) index cards. Large Index marked playing cards are good to use on large oval tables because it is much easier to see the board cards (Flop, Turn and River) from the end seats. On the other hand, Large index cards are worse as hole cards (down cards) because you have to expose more of your card to see what it is.
Magnum index cards have even larger numbers and pips than Large index cards. The nifty thing about Magnum Index cards is that they have huge numbers and pips that can be seen from across the table but they also have smaller numbers and pips in the corners of the card, allowing you to simply flip up a corner of your down-card to view it.
Remember that it may be difficult for the players at the ends of the table to see the board cards (Flop, Turn, and River) especially if the overhead lighting is inadequate or the eyes of player are aged. You might consider using Large or Magnum index cards to make it easier to see the board cards, much depends on your players and your lighting. You could, alternatively, use regular index cards and ask the dealer to announce the cards as they are shown.


A parish council in Shrophsire has become the first to gain re-accreditation under the revised scheme for Quality Parish status run by the National Association of Local Councils. The accolade has gone to Lawley and Overdale council, which has taken steps to give local people a stronger voice in its decisions.
An efficient human resource system is crucial for any organisation, because staff depend on it. Paper based HR systems have survived for many years, but they are prone to error and costly to operate. Introducing partial technology creates risks with re-keying data. Epsom and Ewell council followed this path from total paper to partial technology, but then decided they should move to a fully integrated HR system. This article describes how they did it, in partnership with a nearby council, the results achieved and where they are going now.

Housing Law Bulletin - Issue 217 - 16 May 2011
Monday 16 May 2011
The Latest Housing Law News
Mortgage Default: a swathe of statistics relating to default on mortgage repayments were released last week, relating to the first three months of 2011. The Council of Mortgage Lenders' figures show a 10% decline in repossessions over the same period last year. For the CML data, click here. HM Court Service figures reveal an 8% increase over the same period last year in the number of mortgage possession claims actually issued. For their statistics, click here. Separate figures show that 2,621 homeowners have now completed the full Mortgage Rescue Scheme process in England since the scheme's launch in January 2009. For those figures, click here.
Addressing Housing Fraud: on 11 May 2011 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government issued a new ten point counter-fraud blueprint for tackling fraud in local government. £19m has already been committed to 51 councils in England to help recover unlawfully occupied homes and last year they recovered nearly 1,600 properties worth around £240m. Oxford Council hired a dedicated fraud officer who recovered 25 properties in their first six months. In 15 of these cases the unlawfully sub-letting tenant was still claiming housing benefit, the total cost of which was £1500 per week. For more details of the 10-point plan, click here. For a copy of The Guide to tackling housing tenancy fraud, click here.
Free Housing Advice: on 9 May 2010 the UK coalition Government confirmed funding of £1.5m over two years in 2011/12 and 2012/13 for FirstStop, an advice agency. FirstStop is a free, independent, information and advice service for older people, their families and carers. It aims to help older people make informed decisions about their housing options and help them maintain independent living in later life. The service is provided through a dedicated telephone line (0800 377 7070) and website (www.firststopcareadvice.org.uk). For more details of the funding announcement, click here.
Repossession for Anti-Social Behaviour: on 9 May 2011 the UK Government gave further details of the proposed new mandatory ground for possession in ASB cases. Being found guilty of housing related anti-social behaviour in one court will provide automatic grounds for eviction in the county court, removing the need to prove the incidents of anti-social behaviour for a second time. The new ground is likely to be introduced as a Government amendment to the Localism Bill presently before Parliament. For more details, click here.
Area Renewal Schemes: the ending of the Housing Market Renewal Programme left partially-completed area renovation schemes in local authority districts across England. On 9 May 2011 the UK Government announced that it would allocate up to £30m to develop a transition package intended to help people where schemes have been stalled in the five most challenged Housing Market Renewal areas - Merseyside, East Lancashire, North Staffordshire, Hull and Teesside.

The Latest Housing Case Law
Cheltenham & Gloucester PLC v Fraenkl-Rietti [2011] EWCA 524
In 2001 C&G obtained judgment for £24,000 against the defendant in a mortgage possession claim. After receipts from sale of that property, an unpaid balance of £18,000 remained outstanding. In 2009 C&G applied for a charging order over the defendant's present house in respect of the unpaid balance. The defendant said that (1) an application for a charging order made more than 6 years after judgment required the court's permission and (2) permission should not be granted - and in any event no order made - because the current house was in negative equity with secured liabilities exceeding its value. The court made a charging order. The Court of Appeal refused permission to appeal. Nothing in CPR Part 73 required permission for the making of an application for a charging order and negative equity was no bar to an application. For the judgment, click here.
R (Nassery) v Brent LBC [2011] EWCA Civ 539
The claimant sought judicial review of the council's decision that he was not in need of 'care and attention' and therefore did not qualify for accommodation under National Assistance Act 1948 section 21. His case was that, in light of his mental illness, personality disorder and history of self harm and detention under the mental health legislation, the council should have been satisfied that he either now needed or would in future need care and attention. The judge dismissed his claim and the Court of Appeal upheld that decision. At the date of decision, the claimant's condition was under control. To provide for someone who "might in due course" need care and attention was beyond what the section required. For the judgment, click here.
Helden v Strathmore Ltd [2011] EWCA Civ 542
The company succeeded in its claim to recover sums owed by Mr Helden under his mortgage. The judge ordered him to pay all of the company's costs assessed on the usual indemnity basis in respect of a mortgage lender's costs. The Court of Appeal set aside that order and awarded costs to be assessed on the standard basis. The mortgage agreement had not contained any reference to costs. The Court held that where an agreement contains no provision stating how the costs of proceedings will be dealt with, then it would be wrong in principle to proceed on the basis that there is such a provision, simply because the majority of agreements of the type in question do contain such a provision. If anything, one would presume that the parties intentionally departed from the norm. For the judgment, click here.
Jean-Paul v Southwark LBC [2011] UKUT 178 (LC)
The council undertook asbestos removal and other remedial work on blocks of flats. It claimed £39,000 from two right-to-buy leaseholders in respect of service charges representing their share of the costs of the work under their lease. The claim was followed by a series of chasing letters but nothing was paid. A Leasehold Valuation Tribunal held that the claims for payment were invalid as they did not conform to the provisions of the lease but that if revised claims were rendered compliantly with the lease, the amount would be payable. On appeal, the Upper Tribunal rejected the contention that any such revised claims would be out-of-time having regard to the 18 month time limit on service charge claims in Landlord & Tenant act 1985 section 20B. The chasing letters constituted notifications sufficient to comply with the time limit. For a copy of the judgment, click here.

Washington – Democrats running for the 5th District congressional seat have vastly outpaced Republican candidates in campaign fundraising, the latest reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show.
Former Simsbury First Selectwoman Mary Glassman raised about $380,000 from April 2, when she declared her candidacy for Rep. Elizabeth Esty's seat, to June 30, the end of the latest FEC filing period.
A notable contributor to the Glassman campaign is Rep. John Larson, D-1st District, who donated $5,000 from his leadership political action committee, called the Synergy PAC.
Fellow Democrat Jahana Hayes, a former National Teacher of the Year from Waterbury, raised about $295,000. She declared her candidacy about a month after Glassman.
Notable contributors to the Hayes campaign are Robert and Adriana Mnuchin, the father and stepmother of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the assistant minority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although Steven Mnuchin is promoting GOP tax and monetary policy in the Trump administration, Robert Mnuchin has a history of donating to Democratic candidates in the state, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Esty, who is not running for re-election following a hail of criticism of her handling of an abusive staffer.
Meanwhile, the Republican candidate for the 5th District seat who has raised the most campaign cash is Ruby Corby O'Neill, who reported raising $111, 273. But $81,300 of that amount is money O'Neill loaned to her campaign.
Many of the individual donations to O'Neill's campaign, which totaled about $30,000, came from members of Connecticut's GOP political establishment, including state Reps. Terrie Wood, R-Darien, William Petit, R-Plainville, Darien First Selectwoman Jayme Stevenson, who is running for lieutenant governor, former GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley, and former state GOP chairman Chris Healy. O'Neill's husband, Rep. Arthur O'Neill, R-Southbury, also contributed.
Despite support from high-profile Republicans in the state, O'Neill is not the endorsed Republican candidate in the race. That title belongs to former Meriden Mayor Manny Santos, who has raised about $23,000.
A third Republican who will be on the ballot with O'Neill and Santos in the Aug. 14 primary, businessman Richard DuPont, raised about $80,000 with the help of a $45,000 personal loan to his campaign.
Glassman and Hayes, who will face off in the Democratic primary on Aug. 14, are already raising money from special interests through political action committees.
Glassman raised $10,300 from PACs representing Webster Bank, the American Bankers Association as well as Larson's Synergy PAC.

How to Sell on Instagram Part One
By Greg Holden
When I recently asked antiques expert Harry Rinker to name some new sales trends in the field of selling collectibles online, he surprised me. He mentioned a site that doesn't seem profit-oriented. "Instagram is a new player in the area of collectible sales," said Rinker. "I have a friend who is a jeweler on Instagram and who can almost give up the show circuit with the sales coming in."
It was surprising to hear this because, as you probably know, Instagram was created as a photo sharing site. Anyone can post photos or videos on the site based on their interests or on a common theme. It wasn't originally intended as a place to post items for sale.
But when I started to look into Facebook-owned Instagram, I discovered that there's a definite buzz about it.
Instagram instituted one big change early in 2015 designed to turn viewers into shoppers. It enabled merchants to link to product descriptions from their Instagram images -something you see on Banana Republic's Instagram page.
But, as with other social networking sites, these are pay-to-play opportunities for merchants (in other words, advertising).
This article focuses on social selling - if you want to learn more about advertising opportunities for small businesses on Instagram, check out this blog post where you'll find a tutorial.
Using Instagram to Attract Shoppers
Social selling enables prospective buyers to interact with a seller's customers and other social media contacts to get more information and support about what they are considering as well as make purchases immediately on the social media site without having to go to another website. The idea is that, if you can get a prospective customer to buy immediately without having to make more clicks, you're more likely to complete the sale.
In general, there are two ways to use Instagram for an ecommerce business:
1) You can use it as a showcase to highlight products you want to feature, and then steer visitors to your ecommerce store to make a purchase.
2) You can do some more sophisticated things such as posting prices and descriptions on Instagram itself, or you sell collaboratively with other Instagram users, or find influential Instagram users and get them to promote your products.
I heard from a number of merchants that they, too, are having success using Instagram for sales. "It is an absolutely fantastic and highly misunderstood channel to sell on," says Candice Galek of Miami Beach, who founded Bikini Luxe. Galek should know: of the nearly $3 million in sales she did in 2015, she can directly attribute $100,000 to Instagram via analytics.
Engage to Build Credibility
Members who sign up to use Instagram create "collections" of photos that share a common theme. Usually, the theme that links the images is an interest, a hobby, or a wish to share something of interest.
The idea of a group of images with similar contents lends itself naturally to creating "collections" of images of items for sale - a sort of visual product catalog that shoppers can scan in a glance. That's just what some sellers are doing.
Lisa Chu, founder of Black N Bianco Kids Clothing of Los Angeles, takes the "traditional" approach to Instagram. She sells children's formal wear like boys' tuxedos and flower girl dresses online. She uses Instagram only as a "platform to communicate and showcase our customers wearing our adorable little clothing," she says.
"Sometimes if there is a sale I will include the price of the product. But for the most part it will only be used to build credibility with our audience. I don't believe in using Instagram as a dumping ground for our advertisements. We do point people to our store on my Instagram home page, but never in the description because it looks like spam."
However, most of her product images on Instagram include the BLACKNBIANCO.COM logo across the bottom as a sort of prominent watermark - and a reminder of the website URL.
Chu estimates that about 8 percent of her company's revenue comes through Instagram. She urges prospective Instagram users to participate actively with others. "Instagram is a social media platform to engage with your audience and show that you are part of the community," she comments. "Using it as the only source to market your business will not help your ecommerce grow. It takes a lot of pieces to complete the puzzle of successful ecommerce but Instagram is a vital piece to that puzzle."
Highlight Products and Product Features
E-Commerce Giant Holdings President and CEO A. John Mikulec says he sells "The largest selection of tailgating gear online on TailgateGiant.com and Everything for your Man Cave, Game Room, or Rec Room on ManCaveGiant.com. He, like Chu, uses Instagram as a highlighting tool.
"We have used Instagram for years to highlight new and featured products to grow awareness to slower moving products that may get lost in our sites that have 42,000 and 90,000 products, respectively. We also use it to highlight product features that otherwise would go unnoticed."
Mikulec only puts prices and descriptions on Instagram product images on special occasions: "Only if it is a big sale like Cyber Monday or Black Friday. We don't want customers to look at a post from two years ago and request that price when it may have gone up."
Product descriptions accompanying individual images are rare: "Instagram viewers have short attention spans for posts and want you to get to the point." Rather, the short descriptive space can be used for a brief announcement such as "Now Available: Kolder 12 Pack Coolers!" In contrast to Chu, Mikulec does include a link to the TailateGiant.com main Instagram page which, in turn, contains links to the TailgateGiant.com and ManCaveGiant.com websites as well as discount promo codes.
The main goal of these Instagram product postings is to get shoppers to an online store where they can find the features they want and make a purchase. The social photo sharing site effectively highlights merchandise the store wants to promote.
But featuring products isn't necessarily social. Instagram sales go to the next level when the merchant combines the "product highlight" approach with viral marketing, collaboration, and true "social selling."

Company NTT presented recently in Tokyo its version of the video conferencing of the future, called "T-room."
A person who participates at conference is located in the circular room which is by all sides surrounded with video screens and covered with three cameras.
The person with whom you communicate is shown in actual size and, needless to say, must be in the identical room. Background on the "windows" does not have to be boring black, but each user can optionally program the look of the background. If it's about some sort of presentation, outlook of the entire room can be converted to, for example, a great PowerPoint presentation.
"T-room" is primarily designed for the business world, but of course it can be used for distance learning, entertainment and socializing. Each conference or conversation is, of course , possible to record.

What is your top New Year's resolution for your company? Some business owners would say growth, and others, a strengthened workforce. All would say increased revenue.
What are your specific hopes for your business in 2016? Take a moment to list them mentally. Once you have listed them in your mind or on paper, tell yourself that all of these goals can come to fruition this year. These often-elusive concepts known as New Year's resolutions can be fulfilled when the right support system is in place, namely a social learning management system (LMS).
Are your business's goals for 2016 somewhere along these lines? If so, know that an eLearning system can provide the solutions to your company's New Year's resolutions.
Did you know that a social learning management system can lower an organization's bottom line? It does this in several ways. First, since it hosts online training, an LMS eliminates the need for in-person trainers and classroom rentals. The article Top 5 Benefits of Using eLearning Tools for Staff Training states, "In terms of costs, businesses (that implement LMSs) no longer have to spend (money) on commutation and classroom and infrastructure rentals. Trainer costs are typically one-time since the same material may be reused for multiple batches of learners. Finally, since all of this is in electronic format, paper consumption is significantly reduced. All of this brings about a significant reduction in the bottom line." An LMS is a solid solution for companies hoping to reduce costs in 2016.
Many employers do not value their employees and thus experience high turnover rates. If only organizational leaders understood that they can increase employee retention, engagement and satisfaction by implementing a social learning management system. An LMS nurtures a workforce by facilitating easy-to-access training and promoting a workplace culture that is more collaborative than competitive. Features such as social learning, which allows for the monitored use of social media in the workplace, realtime chat and video conferencing make the day-to-day duties of any employee more exciting. Also, mobile learning streamlines training processes by giving LMS users access to work-related information and training materials via any device with an Internet connection and a Web browser. Strengthening your workforce is as easy as launching an eLearning system with these employee satisfaction-promoting features.
If there's anything an LMS can do, it can simplify training. In-person training models are on their way out as employers discover the efficacy and superiority of eLearning. With an LMS, employees have 24/7-access to training resources which they can view from any device and location.
Online learning is not just appealing to Millennials – it is suitable for a multi-generational workforce. Also, LMSs don't just simplify the training process for administrators; they also streamline training for employees. eLearning industry says that new users usually figure out an LMS easily, "while old users will find new challenges as they progress through the system. (The LMS) also accommodates multiple features necessary for the satisfactory-to-excellent delivery of the learning modules, including documenting, recording, and tracking." There is no better way to simplify employee training than with a cloud-based social learning management system.
Could your company use a stronger workforce, increased revenue and simplified training? All of these things can be attained when an LMS like TOPYX is implemented. TOPYX is a Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award-winning eLearning system that features mobile learning, social learning tools, eCommerce, learning tools interoperability, integrations, and SCORM certification. Major organizations like Tupperware brands and Interstate Batteries trust TOPYX.
Where do you want your company to be this time next year? Whether you hope for a stronger workforce, increased revenue, simplified training, or all of the above, an LMS provides the solutions your organization needs to make these goals a reality.
