The Complete Ramona Collection - Beezus and Ramona, Ramona and Her Father, Ramona and Her Mother, Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Ramona Forever, Ramona the Brave, Ramona the Pest, Ramona's World (Paperback, Boxed set)
Beverly Cleary; Illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers
Kids everywhere feel connected to Ramona's unique way of looking at the world as she tries to adjust to new teachers, feels jealous about Susan's curls, and is secretly pleased by Yard Ape's teasing. The scrapes she gets herself into--like wearing pajamas to school or accidentally making egg yolk shampoo--are funny and heartwarming, and sometimes embarrassing. No matter what--Ramona's lively, curious spirit shines through.
The appeal of the Beverly Cleary's stories about Ramona Quimby havenever faded. For the first time, all eight of Beverly Cleary's Ramonatitles are now included in one box set:

Dear Mr. Henshaw (Paperback)
Beverly Cleary; Illustrated by Paul O Zelinsky
R173 R143 Discovery Miles 1 430 Save R30 (17%)
Dear Mr. Henshaw,
I wish somebody would stop stealing the good stuff out of my lunchbag. I guess I wish a lot of other things, too. I wish someday Dad and Bandit would pull up in front in the rig ... Dad would yell out of the cab, "Come on, Leigh. Hop in and I'll give you a lift to school."
Leigh Botts has been author Boyd Henshaw's number one fan ever since he was in second grade. Now in sixth grade, Leigh lives with his mother and is the new kid at school. He's lonely, troubled by the absence of his father, a cross-country trucker, and angry because a mysterious thief steals from his lunchbag. Then Leigh's teacher assigns a letter-writing project. Naturally Leigh chooses to write to Mr. Henshaw, whose surprising answer changes Leigh's life.

An ALA Notable Book
Ramona and Her Mother (Hardcover, Reillustrated ed.)
Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby. Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint.
Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise. Mr. and Mrs. Quimby sometimes forget who is to do what, as when the Crock-Pot is not plugged in and dinner remains uncooked. Beezus acquires a ludicrous teased hairdo at the student body shop while Ramona gets a becoming pixie haircut. Ramona, who feels unloved, takes to twitching her nose like a rabbit in a cozy picture book until her teacher becomes concerned that something is making her nervous.
Yet Ramona is wrong. She is loved, and readers will rejoice with her when she discovers the wonderful truth. Few writers today are as skilled as Mrs. Cleary at showing families in the round, and here she is at the peak of her powers.
Henry and Ribsy (Paperback)
At last, Henry Huggins's father has promised to take him fishing, on one condition. Henry's dog, Ribsy, has been in all sorts of trouble lately, from running off with the neighbor's barbecue roast to stealing a policeman's lunch. To go on the fishing trip, Henry must keep Ribsy out of trouble -- no chasing cats, no digging up lawns...and no getting anywhere near little Ramona Quimby, the pest of Klickitat Street.
Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (Hardcover, Reillustrated ed.)
Ramona Quimby, one of the most loved characters in children's fiction, has now reached third grade. At school, she acquires a new teacher, Mrs. Whaley, who addresses the class as "you guys." At home, she helps the family "squeak by" as her father returns to college to become an art teacher.
All the Quimbys have their ups and downs, but none feels them more intensely than Ramona. Her low point is undoubtedly reached the day she throws up in class and Mrs. Whaley instructs the children to hold their noses and file into the hall. But three days later Ramona recovers her verve sufficiently to give a book report in the style of a T.V. commercial, bringing down the house with her final ad-lib line of "I can't believe I read the whole thing!"
Writing with humor and compassion, Beverly Cleary continues her chronicle of a child's growth and lovingly reaffirms the durability of the memorable Quimby family. They may not be nice all the time, but they stick together through good times and bad.

R396 R373 Discovery Miles 3 730 Save R23 (6%)

But, she certainly proves she can be the peskiest kindergartender ever to Beezus' friend Henry Huggins and bossy Susan with the boing-boing curls. Things get out of hand when Ramona feels her teacher doesn't love her anymore and it's almost enough to make her the world's first kindergartener drop-out.

Russian sports activities that have introduced the county straight into sporting news focus
December 4, 2016 · by admin2014 ·
Russians as being a populace are extremely eager within sports and also have excelled in a number of sports activities. The country has become a typical feature at the Olympics games obtaining higher rankings in a vast variety of games. Though since USSR the country was at its peak during the Olympics, even after the actual split Russia has been in a position to maintain its position that the Soviets had established.
The Russians have been in all the sports news for their involvement in a number of games such as football, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, weightlifting, boxing, gymnastics, skiing, figure skating and also volleyball in addition to a host of various other sports activities.
Basketball developed within the country through the Soviet era. The Russian squad started to acquire a number of Olympic medals because of their capabilities in this game. They are also the present winners of the Eurobasket World Championships having conquered Spain during the final game. They are also champions of a number of other European championships such as the Euroleague and the ULEB Cup. They likewise have a player in the Utah Jazz that is a NBA team.
Ice hockey is one more extremely prosperous sport of the Russians. They have about 30 players that are presently a part of the NHL. The players today are still maintaining the tradition built throughout the Soviet era.
The Russians have taken forth their winning streak by being in the news for their achievement in the field of ice skating. Having been part of the actual successful team in the Winter Olympics, they also have excelled within ice dancing as well as pair skating.
Football had been probably the most successful sports throughout the Soviet period. With the division of USSR came the division of the national football teams and clubs. The most significant among these had been the actual crumbling of the Russian Premier League since it lost a lot of its players. Nevertheless, the game restored its misplaced fame as well as presently has six Premier League teams aside from it now strong national team.
Since the end of the Soviet regime, Russia has grown as a powerhouse in the sport of tennis. A large number of probably the most powerful women tennis players hail from this nation together with some strong men tennis players too. These strong Russians have been around in the news for their success in the Olympics, Wimbledon, Fed Cup, Davis Cup and many such premier matches.
Chess is actually another sport that Russians currently have taken over for many years having produced a number of world champions as well as Grand Masters. Yet another of Russia's popular sports activities would be the Rugby League. The Russians rank 13th amongst all of the teams based on the Rugby League International Federation sports news. Rugby Union is one more sport which is fast gathering popularity between the Russian public, with the nation ranking 17th according to the International Rugby Board.
One of the sports that Russia has won a number of accolades for is actually Rhythmic Gymnastics. Along with being probably the most popular sports forms in the nation, it has highlighted Russia in the world of sports news for owning the earth's greatest rhythmic gymnasts.

After 13 months of decline, India's export growth is set to turn positive for November. Imports, too, might turn around. A strong rebound in foreign trade, however, seems far off. Meanwhile, India's trade deficit is likely to shrink substantially in FY10.
Exports contracted 6.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) in October—the smallest decline since January—while imports declined 15% y-o-y. October was the 13th straight month in which exports registered a decline. For FY10 year-to-date (April-October), exports and imports contracted 26% and 29.6%, respectively.
Oil imports (value) have been rising after reaching a four-year low of $3.3 billion (Rs15,345 crore) in February. In October, oil imports rose to $6.6 billion—double the February level—as crude oil prices had increased around 70% since then.
Non-oil imports contracted by 17.2% in October, after declining 30% in September. Though much of it comes from the relatively low base in October 2008, this category seems to be stabilizing as domestic demand improves.
Trade deficit started moving up after shrinking to a mere $2.2 billion in February. A sharp correction in global commodity prices along with feeble global demand played a major role in reducing the trade deficit earlier. As global commodity prices have started moving up, trade deficit is likely to increase, though gradually. We, however, expect India's FY10 trade deficit to be much lower than the FY09 level.
As most developed countries emerged from the recession in the September quarter, global demand is likely to improve, albeit at a slow pace. This, coupled with a rebound in global commodity prices, could improve the outlook for India's exports.
The sharp fall followed by the strong run-up in international crude prices are pushing up oil imports ahead of non-oil imports. India's robust growth in the second quarter of FY10, 7.9%, indicates a likely spurt in non-oil imports as well. Barring a large revision in past data, we expect both export and import growth to turn positive from November. A strong recovery in foreign trade, however, seems far away.

LAMBERT DORNBERGER
MAYFIELD PIONEER
see bio published 1881
BIO Pen-pictures, Lambert Dornberger, page 248-249
SURNAMES: WANZEL, KLEINCLAUS,
LAMBERT DORNBERGER, of Mayfield, was a resident of Mayfield when this valley was but sparsely populated, and improvements on a large scale had not been thought of. He is a native of Alsace, born near Strasburg, April 3, 1828, his parents being George and Catherine (Wanzel) Dornberger. His father, who was a farmer, died when Lambert was but five years old. His mother died June 18, 1869, aged nearly seventy-three years. Lambert Dornberger was reared in Alsace to rural life. At the age of thirteen he commenced the shoemaker's trade, but gave it up after an experience of two and a half years. He engaged in dairying and was at the head of a dairy of one hundred cows. He excelled in the business, and received from the Government for finest dairying a silver medal and five hundred francs. He left the home of his youth June 9, 1850, went to Havre, and took passage on the sail-ship Marado, bound for New York, at which port he arrived after a voyage of forty days. He went at once to West Point, where he remained two and a half years.
On the fourth of November, 1852, he took passage on the steamer Georgia, New York to Aspinwall, thence overland to Panama, and from there to San Francisco, where he arrived December 6. He had acquired the Panama fever in route, and remained in the city sick there for some time. Early in 1854 he came to Santa Clara County and bought a squatter's right to a piece of land near Mayfield. In 1857 he gave up this right, owning to litigation, and bought a squatter's claim to government land in the mountains along the line between Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. He set about improving the place, and was soon engaged in his old business of dairying. In 1862 he began to devote more attention to general farming, and this, with stock-raising, was his occupation until November, 1869, when he removed to Mayfield, having bought land where he now resides; and all the handsome improvements about the place have been made since that time. In this place there are some forty-eight acres, but his extensive mountain ranch contains one thousand two hundred acres.
Mr. Dornberger was married in San Francisco, September 10, 1861, to Miss Ann Kleinclaus, a native of Alsace, and daughter of Michel and Mary (Remer) Kleinclaus. They have seven children, viz: Eugene, who is on the mountain ranch; Gustave, Albert, Victor, Julia, George, and Edward. Mr. Dornberger is politically a Democrat.

In the days of this activity, general agriculture in the vicinity of Mayfield has a stanch advocate in Lambert Dornberger, and now that years of effort justify him in laying aside the mantle of labor, he still retains an interest in the varied and always progressive life by which he is surrounded. HIs farm of eighty acres is equipped with modern machinery, and at all times under its present ownership has been conducted according to the best known methods. That the seven children to whom his success has brought better advantages than he ever himself enjoyed, and that they are occupying positions requiring high business and intellectual attainments, argues well for the spirit of progress and ambition which has dominated his home and personal guidance, and which has led him to espouse and encourage the best in education, politics, and all around development.
Mr. Dornberger inherits the thrifty traits of the peasantry of eastern France, where he was born in Alsace, near Strasburg, April 3, 1827. His father, George, born in the same province, since conquered by Germany, died when Lambert was four years old in 1831, and his mother, a native also of France, died about 1884. The four sons and four daughters of the family were reared on a farm, and Lambert, the fifth of the children, shared the hard daily tasks, and had little time for either recreation or schooling. All of the sons are now living in America. Lambert left home at an early age and applied himself to the shoemaker's trade for a year , and in August, 1850, boarded a sailing vessel bound for America. Until November 5, 1852, he remained in New York City, and on that date took passage for Panama, arriving in San Francisco, December 6, 1852. He had started out with high hopes, and with expectations of a fortune made in the mines, but his voyage was calculated to dim his ardor, for he suffered from yellow fever after leaving Panama. For two years he ws variously employed in San Francisco, and August 17, 1854, he came to Santa Clara county, which he thoroughly investigated with the expectation of making it his home. Settling in the vicinity of Mayfield, he engaged in the stock and dairy business, and in 1857 went in to the hills of San Mateo and engaged in the stock business until 1869. December 4, of the same year, he bought his present home near Mayfield, bringing hither his wife, formerly Anna Kleinclaus, also a native of France, and born in February, 1837. She died October 10, 1901. For many years the improvement of this farm constituted the chief concern of Mr. Dornberger, but he gradually passed its management to his children, and is now living in comparative retirement. He is a Democrat in politics, and among other offices has held that of school trustee for six years. He is a member of the Catholic Church of Mayfield.
Eugene A., the eldest son born to Mr. and Mrs. Dornberger, is a business man of San Rafael, Cal.,; Gustave has found a useful and profitable field of activity in New York City; Albert is using his superior intellectual attainments as a professor in the high school of San Jose; Victor is principal of the Mayfield public school; Anna, the only daughter in the family is the wife of Dr. Ross, of Ferndale; George makes his home in Seattle, Wash.; and Dr. Edward lives with his parents on the home farm and practices dentistry in Palo Alto. To his neighbors and business associated Mr. Dornberger has proved himself considerate and conscientious, and his many desirable traits of character have won him warm and lasting friendships.

Split leather is leather created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the top-grain of the rawhide has been separated from the hide.
Suede Leather is split leather that has been brushed to create a fuzzy or napped surface. A suede surface in a car seat provides more friction and keeps the driver or passenger in the seat.
The V-Series Cadillacs bring world class acceleration and cornering ability, and it becomes increasingly important to keep the driver in control of the vehicle dynamics.
Cadillac has been using suede leather center inserts in the V-Series seats as an esthetically pleasing, attractive and simple way to keep you in your seat.
The closer one examines the thoughtful engineering built in to Cadillac automobiles, the more desirable they become.

99223 vs 99233: Coding Hospital Inpatient Initial Care Encounters.
We see a lot of orthopedic consults on our service. Sometimes 6-8 new consults per day piled on to our starting census. They often have no acute medical condition that we are commenting on. However, they usually have 4 medical conditions and are on opiate PCA as per orthopedic admission orders. In these situations would I do better to do a 99233 or go to a 99223 due to the 4 diagnoses and the IV PCA? I am already planning on going to a 99233 or less on the less complex ones... I want to maximize return but minimize the documentation work load so I can get thru them and see the other 16+ ( including ICU).
For reference, I am a practicing clinical hospitalist with 15 years of experience. I have studied billing and coding for years and have an excellent foundation for applying coding decisions to real life scenarios. Before I begin my discussion I think it's important to define what these numbers mean. CPT® stands for Current Procedural Terminology. If you don't understand CPT®, I have provided insight here. CPT® codes are used by medical professionals to bill insurance for their service. Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes are a subset of CPT® codes. Evaluation and Management codes include office visits, hospital visits and nursing home visits. There are many CPT® codes that are appropriate for hospital based billing. I have detailed many of them in my post on CPT® admission codes.
The hospital inpatient initial care codes are CPT® 99221-99223. The hospital inpatient subsequent care codes are CPT® 99231-99233. This hospitalist is asking me if they should bill the highest level initial care code or the highest level subsequent care code for their initial encounter as a consultant. I have previously reviewed both CPT® 99223 and CPT® 99233. Understanding the key components for both levels of service are critical to understanding this lecture. I recommend all readers obtain their own copy of the American Medical Association's CPT® manual for their own reference. You can find one by clicking on the CPT® graphic to the right.
Answering this question requires further discussion on some basic coding decisions. Is coding a hospital inpatient initial care encounter (99221-99223) appropriate? Is coding a hospital inpatient subsequent care code (99231-99233) appropriate? Are there alternative codes that are more appropriate? Is choosing the highest level of service appropriate in this described scenario?
IS IT APPROPRIATE TO CHOOSE A HOSPITAL INPATIENT INITIAL CARE CODE (99221-99223)?
Most hospitals require a preoperative history and physical (H&P) to be on the chart before a patient goes to surgery. These H&Ps may be done the the operating surgeon or the patient's primary care physician several days to several weeks before surgery. This has no relevance for the hospitalist asked to see the patient for medical management after surgery. All physicians are directed to utilize the hospital inpatient initial care codes for their first encounter whether or not the primary care physician did a complete history and physical before surgery.
IS IT APPROPRIATE TO CHOOSE A HOSPITAL INPATIENT SUBSEQUENT CARE CODE (99231-99233) INSTEAD?
In all cases, physicians will bill the available code that most appropriately describes the level of the services provided.
If the documentation for the initial visit does not support one of the initial inpatient procedure codes, CMS has instructed contractors to not find fault with the physician billing a subsequent care procedure instead.
IS IT APPROPRIATE TO CODE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE?
Now that I've established physicians and other NPPs can code from either the initial care or subsequent care code groups, the question specifically referred to coding the highest level of service in both code groups, the level three visit. Some readers may find themselves asking whether billing the highest level of service (99223 for initial care or 99233 for subsequent care) is appropriate, ethical, fraudulent or irresponsible given the lack of acute medical conditions in the presented scenario. These readers do not understand the nature and complexity of the E/M rules. These readers fail to appreciate that any postoperative orthopedic patient IS an acute patient with profound implications on the stability of their multiple chronic medical conditions and a thorough history and physical will always be medically reasonable and necessary.
The threshold for payment by Medicare is "reasonable and necessary" services. Managing patients with multiple chronic stable medical conditions such as diabetes (DM), hypertension (HTN), coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be complex in the postoperative state. Just because all of their medical conditions were stable before surgery does not mean they will be stable after surgery. Part of the postoperative evaluation is to verify stability or to search for clues on history or physical that may indicate an acute or subacute risk of decompensation. Just because the patient's medical conditions are stable postoperatively does not mean medically reasonable and necessary care can't rise to the highest level of service code encounter. Remember, choosing the correct code is not a magic trick. The rules are highly complex, but well defined. I have created my own E/M pocket cards (see below) to help me stay compliant with correct coding decisions on every patient encounter.
Is it medically reasonable and necessary to do a complete review of systems (ROS) or a complete physical exam on a stable post operative orthopedic patient with multiple stable chronic medical conditions. The answer is yes. These are systemic diseases with systemic complications being managed with medications that have systemic side effects. Just because the patient had stable disease before surgery does not mean their chronic medical conditions will remain stable after surgery. Doing a complete ROS or complete physical exam will always be medically reasonable and necessary for patients with multiple chronic medical conditions.
If medically reasonable and necessary care documentation supports the highest level of service 99233 vs 99223, then the highest level of service should be billed. The E/M medical decision making rules contain elements that can achieve high complexity even with no acute change in medical condition. For example, if you are managing intravenous PCA opiates and their potential for systemic side effects or complications, you should consider this high risk on the E/M risk table and bill your E/M code appropriately. If you are managing Coumadin in the postoperative orthopedic population, I have previously explained why I believe this is high risk drug therapy on the E/M table of risk table and the correct code should be based on that assumption.
Nowhere does guidance tell us that having only stable chronic medical conditions excludes the physician or other NPP from billing the highest level service codes. In fact, it's just the opposite. E/M rules specifically tell us how to define medical decision making (MDM) complexity for patients with multiple chronic medical conditions. Having four stable chronic medical conditions provides four points in the diagnosis section of MDM. Managing a PCA or Coumadin is considered high risk on the risk table. That means these post operative ortho consults can be a level 3 visit if the medically reasonable and necessary history and/or physical exam documentation supports it as well. What if the patient is not on a PCA or they are not on Coumadin? Always consider the work you do in the data component of MDM as well. Did you personally document that you reviewed the preoperative ECG tracing? Did you personally look up old records to compare the ECG or to find evidence of a previous cardiac stress test result? Did you review the patient's CXR report or their lab? All of this work adds to the complexity of care and can rise to the level of the highest service code group, if you just remember to document the work you are providing.
Medicare uses relative value units (RVUs) to determine value for all services. I have previously written posts explaining RVUs and the RVU to dollar conversion. What is the RVU difference between the highest level hospital inpatient initial care code (99223) and the highest level hospital inpatient subsequent care code (99233) in 2017?
The RVU to dollar conversion rate for 2017 is $35.8887. That means billing a subsequent care code instead of an initial care code will be worth 1.86 less work RVUs (around $67 dollars less) and 2.78 less total RVUs (around $100 less) in my home state.
Since doing a complete history and complete physical exam in patients with multiple medical problems will always be medically reasonable and necessary, the question the provider then must ask is whether they wish to provide such an intensity of service. Some readers may ask if the provider believes they don't need to provide a complete history and physical, then doing so would not be medically reasonable and necessary. This is just not true. Failure to provide thoroughness does not make it unreasonable and unnecessary. At the end of the day, it's not up to the patient to determine the level of service a physician provides. It's up to the physician and their medical judgement about what they feel is the appropriate level of care and to make sure their documentation supports the work they do.
The hospitalist asked the question whether they would do better billing a 99223 or a 99233 for their 6-8 orthopedic consults per day. Economically, the answer is obvious. Billing the hospital inpatient initial care codes provides nearly $100 per encounter more of additional revenue, but that benefit comes with a time cost, the value of which can only be determined by the hospitalist making the coding decisions. At eight consults a day, that's $800 per day of additional revenue by coding a 99223 instead of a 99233. This assumes a 100% Medicare service and all encounters support the highest level of service within the code group (99223 or 99233). Assuming the same high complexity MDM for both code groups, the decision to bill a 99223 vs 99233 comes down to how much additional time the physician wants to spend performing a complete review of systems and a complete physical exam and a past medical, family and social history. All of these elements are required to correctly code a 99223 encounter but not a 99233. All are medically reasonable and necessary for patients with multiple relevant chronic medical conditions in the postoperative state. I would never find fault with a physician for providing this high intensity of service. The question, eluded by the reader, comes down to time management triage decisions.
Physician time is not unlimited. Not all doctors have time to provide the highest intensity of service for every encounter and I would never fault them for failing to do so. Being understaffed is a common theme for many hospitalists and they must triage their time to the sickest patients. That means the intensity of service provided to some patients may decline. This will presumably be reflected in a lower coding curve. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of debate. Physicians should bill for the medically reasonable and necessary service they provide. The correct code is the code that is supported by their documentation of medically reasonable and necessary care, without regard to the coding distribution curve of their colleagues. If they choose to provide a lower or higher intensity of service, that's their decision to make, as long as the care they provide is also reasonable and necessary.

NEON employee paychecks delayed
By STEVE KOBAK
Hour Staff Writer
Published 7:45 am EDT, Saturday, October 5, 2013
NORWALK -- Unpaid rent, empty gas tanks, overdraft bank account fees -- these are some of the harsh realities facing Norwalk Economic Opportunity Now employees over what will prove to be a trying three days, as they did not receive their paychecks as scheduled on Friday.
The employees, who are paid biweekly on Fridays, were not informed that they were not going to receive a paycheck until 1:30 p.m. on Friday, leaving many with no time to inform their debtors that they would be late with their payments. Chiquita Stephenson, acting president and CEO of NEON, blamed the federal government shutdown for the lack of funds and said the agency was unaware it would be unable to meet its financial obligations until Friday afternoon. She said the state of Connecticut has made State of Emergency funds available so that NEON could meet its approximately $246,000-per-week payroll obligations.
"The funds will be in on Monday, and we will have the ability to draw down from other money sources," Stephenson assured irate employees at one of three separate employee meetings scheduled for late Friday afternoon.
Stephenson said the organization for Norwalk's impoverished is currently $2.5 million in debt and also pointed to three years of not receiving $1.5 million in City of Norwalk funds as a major reason why the agency is in the red.
The agency has laid off 22 people since May. NEON has seven departments on furloughs, Stephenson said. The CEO said more layoffs and department cuts are imminent. She said the organization is paying for "decades of deficiencies," which are not necessarily the fault of the current administration. More furloughs, cut programs, budget cuts and possible layoffs are on the horizon, Stephenson said. She said the agency has to make $575,000 in cuts in the next week-and-a-half.
"I want you to understand that this is going to be painful," she said. "We're going to have to cut programs and services."
Employees said they were wary of having their names printed in the press, as they had signed nondisclosure forms and were warned by management not to speak with the media. Many expressed concern that they would have to go through the same process again during the next pay period. Two weeks ago, NEON staff members were not paid until 4 p.m. on Friday.
"My rent is not delayed," said one employee. "What am I supposed to do?"
At two of the meetings, employees complained of a supply shortage, specifically not having enough paper for the children in their classrooms. Employees asked if NEON was going to help pay their overdraft bank fees, as many of them had scheduled auto-payments on their bills. Stephenson urged against using the auto-payment option for the near future.
Stephenson said the federal government shutdown has made funds from federal agencies unavailable to NEON. She said the fact that the agency is undergoing five audits at once complicated matters.
She said state Rep. Bruce Morris "went to bat" for the agency and fought to have the State of Emergency funds released to NEON. She did not know the exact amount of funds that the agency received at press time. She also did not know if she would have to go before officials in Hartford again to fight for more funds to meet payroll obligations.
Stephenson also asked employees to "come to the table" and join one of 15 committees that were being formed to provide firsthand accounts of why NEON services are valuable to the community.
"We have to, in fact, show that what we do and that we're, in fact, doing it," she said.

The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--And Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race (Hardcover)
By Daniel Z. Lieberman, Michael E. Long
Why are we obsessed with the things we want only to be bored when we get them?
Why is addiction perfectly logical to an addict?
Why does love change so quickly from passion to indifference?
Why are some people die-hard liberals and others hardcore conservatives?
Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest times--and so good at figuring them out?
The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas--and progress itself.
Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more--more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander.
From dopamine's point of view, it's not the having that matters. It's getting something--anything--that's new. From this understanding--the difference between possessing something versus anticipating it--we can understand in a revolutionary new way why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religion--and we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others.
In The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--and will Determine the Fate of the Human Race, George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and why the brains of liberals and conservatives really are different.
Daniel Z. Lieberman, M.D. is professor and vice chair for clinical affairs in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. Dr. Lieberman is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a recipient of the Caron Foundation Research Award, and he has published over 50 scientific reports on behavioral science. He has provided insight on psychiatric issues for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the US Department of Commerce, and the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy, and has discussed mental health in interviews on CNN, C-SPAN, and PBS. Dr. Lieberman studied the Great Books at St. John's College. He received his medical degree and completed his psychiatric training at New York University. Trained as a physicist, Michael E. Long is an award-winning speechwriter, screenwriter, and playwright. As a playwright, more than 20 of his shows have been produced, most on New York stages. As a screenwriter, his honors include finalist for the grand prize in screenwriting at the Slamdance Film Festival. As a speechwriter, Mr. Long has written for members of Congress, U.S. cabinet secretaries, governors, diplomats, business executives, and presidential candidates. A popular speaker and educator, Mr. Long has addressed audiences around the world, including in a keynote at Oxford University. He teaches writing at Georgetown University, where he is a former director of writing. Mr. Long pursued undergraduate studies at Murray State University and graduate studies at Vanderbilt University.

Pope marks 50 years as a priest by presenting writings of his spiritual director
The Vatican stamp and coin office released these special stamps to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pope Francis' Dec. 13, 1969, ordination to the priesthood. (CNS photo/Vatican stamp and coin office)
Cindy Wooden
ROME -- As part of the celebrations for his 50th anniversary of priesthood, Pope Francis chose to personally present a multi-volume collection of writings by his longtime spiritual director, the late Jesuit Father Miguel Angel Fiorito.
In addition to presenting the Spanish-language collection, "Escritos" ("Writings"), at a conference at the Jesuit headquarters Dec. 13, Pope Francis wrote an introduction to it, saying the publication is "a consolation for those of us who, for many years, were nourished by his teachings. These writings will be a great good for the whole church."
But he started the celebrations much earlier in the day, inviting cardinals living in Rome to join him in the chapel of his residence for morning Mass. The Vatican did not release the text of a homily or photographs, but the Vatican newspaper printed the greetings of Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals.
"On this happy occasion of your 50th anniversary of priesthood, in the name of all my brother cardinals, I wish you all the best with the deepest thanks for your generous daily service to the holy church of God," the cardinal said.
At the evening book presentation, Pope Francis said he had suggested having one of Father Fiorito's "disciples" as the main speaker. The editor of La Civilta Cattolica, which published the books, asked the pope who he had in mind. "'Me,' I said. And here we are."
Presenting the book at the Jesuit headquarters, he said, "is a way for me to express my gratitude for all that the Society of Jesus has given me and has done for me," and it is a way to encourage all the men and women around the world who offer spiritual direction to others following the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
The collection was curated by Argentine Jesuit Father Jose Luis Narvaja, the pope's nephew, whom the pope described as another of Father Fiorito's disciples in a "school" of thought where general principles were held in common, but "the disciples could develop it, following the spirit -- not just the letter -- of the master with freedom and creativity."
The collection, the pope wrote in the introduction, is a "distillation" of "spiritual mercy: teaching for those who do not know, good counsel for those who need it, correction for those who err, consolation for those who are sad and help in being patient for those in desolation."
Spiritual mercy, he continued, is summed up in teaching people discernment in the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, a process of "curing spiritual blindness, a sad illness that prevents us from recognizing God's time, the time of his coming."
While Father Fioriti gave hundreds of conferences and talks, he wrote only two books. Pope Francis said that "around 1985" he was asked to write the prologue to Father Fiorito's book on discernment and spiritual warfare. He described discernment has "having the courage to see divine footprints in our human tracks."
Father Fiorito, who became his spiritual director in 1961, the pope wrote, "had a special nose for sniffing out the evil spirit; he could identify his action, recognize his tics, unmask him because of his bad fruits and the bad aftertaste and trail of desolation he left in his passing."
"In that sense," the pope continued, "you could say he was a man who battled against only one enemy: the evil spirit, Satan, the demon, the tempter, the accuser, the enemy of our human nature. Between the banner of Christ and that of Satan, he chose the Lord."
Father Fiorito "was fundamentally a man of dialogue and listening," the pope said. "He taught many to pray -- to dialogue in friendship with God -- and to discern 'the signs of the times,' dialoguing with other people and with the reality of every culture. His school of spirituality is a school of dialogue and listening, open to listening to and dialoguing with anyone 'with a good spirit,' testing everything and retaining only that which is good."
Introducing the collection in La Civilta Cattolica, Father Narvaja wrote that the "theological and pastoral nucleus" of Father Fiorito's teaching can clearly be seen in the teaching and actions of Pope Francis.
In addition, he said, discussions with Father Fiorito and his other "disciples" led to the elaboration of the four principles Pope Francis wrote about in his 2013 exhortation, "The Joy of the Gospel," namely: "time is greater than space," which encourages patience and dedication in evangelization; "unity prevails over conflict," which is why differences should be acknowledged, but not lead to a complete separation; "realities are more important than ideas" and are what motivate people to act for the genuine good of another; and "the whole is greater than the part," a principle that encourages people to be realistic, solid in their identity, but recognize they are part of something bigger than themselves.

A modul a fogaskerék-tervezés egyik alapfogalma. Számított mennyiség, a szokásos jelölése: , szokásos mértékegysége: [mm].
A betűjelölések a német átmérő (Durchmesser), vagy a görög diametrosz (διάμετρος) szóra utalnak; az ábrán látható betűk a hozzátartozó sugár nagyságát jelzik. Az alábbi (szokásos) számítások az átmérőre vonatkoznak. Így például  az osztókör kerülete.

Alapfogalmak
A modul meghatározásához két mennyiség szükséges: az osztókör átmérője és a fogszám.
Az osztókör a fogaskeréknek az a képzeletbeli köre, amely a másik fogaskerék ugyanilyen osztókörén gördül végig, csúszás nélkül. Átmérőjének szokásos jelölése: , mértékegysége: [mm].
Az osztás a fogaskerék két szomszédos fogának azonos pontja között, az osztókörön mért távolsága. Jelölése: , mértékegysége: [mm].
A fogszám a fogaskerék kerületén levő fogak száma, ami természetesen egész szám. Jelölése: .
A fejkör a fogaskeréknek a teljes átmérőjét befoglaló köre, aminek sugara a fogak fejmagasságával nagyobb az osztókörénél.

Képletek
Igaz lesz (a kör kerületképlete alapján):
.
Ebből az osztókör átmérője (amely nem mérhető méret) számítása:

A hányadost nevezzük modulnak:
,
amely a fog magasságával arányos mennyiség. Ez fontos paraméter, mert csak az azonos modulú fogaskerekek tudnak egymással szabályosan kapcsolódni. Az evolvens fogazásnál ugyanis a fogak nem csúsznak, hanem gördülnek egymáson.
A fejkör átmérője közvetlenül, jól mérhető: [mm], azért ezzel is meghatározható a fogaskerék modulja:
.
(A nevezőben álló +2 tagot az indokolja, hogy a fejkör átmérője 2 modullal nagyobb az osztókör átmérőjénél.)

Két fogaskerék kapcsolódásának szükséges (de nem elégséges) feltétele, hogy moduljaik egyenlők legyenek. A modul használata gyakorlati szempontok miatt szokásos, a geometriai számítások egyszerűbben végezhetők el segítségükkel, értékük szabványos átmérőkre racionális szám lesz.

Szabványos modulok
A modulok értékeit nemzetközi szabványok tartalmazzák. Erre a fogaskerékgyártásban használatos szerszámok tipizálásához van szükség. Elvileg minden evolvens fogazatú homlokfogaskerék legyártható egyenes fogú fogasléc szerszámmal. A szabványos modulok a DIN 780 szabvány szerint a következők:

A modult azokban az országokban használják, ahol az SI-mértékegységrendszer van használatban. Az angolszász országokban a modul helyett a "Diametral Pitch" Pd (inch-1, angol hüvelyk) használatos:

A szabványos értékeket milliméterben értelmezzük; az angolszász értékek ezért nem kerek számok

Egyéb modulok
Ferdefogú fogaskerekek számításánál az m szerszámmodulon kívül, mely a fentiek szerint szabványos értékek szerint választható, más modulokat is használnak:

Normálmodul
Ferdefogú fogaskerekeknél a fogakra merőleges normálmetszetben mérhető modul megegyezik a szerszámmodullal.

Homlokmodul, mt
A homlokmetszetben (a fogaskerék tengelyére merőleges síkban) mérhető modul a homlokmodul, értéke:

ahol  a fogferdeségi szög.

Axiálmodul mx
Az axiálmetszetben (vagyis a tengellyel párhuzamos síkban) mérhető modul értéke:

Egyenesfogú kerekeknél, ahol a fogferdeségi szög  , a homlokmodul és a normálmodul megegyezik  , az axiálmodul viszont nem értelmezhető.

The 1998 LCMS II was the second in the series. All districts of Zambia were included in the survey. The sampling frame included 4,160 census supervisory areas (CSAs). The CSAs were divided into 13,043 standard enumeration areas (SEAs). From that frame, a sample of 821 SEAs was selected for the survey that included 500 rural and 321 urban SEAs. Overall, 8,487 rural and 8,223 urban households were selected as the sample, which represented 0.9% of all Zambia households.
One questionnaire was used to collect information about the household and individuals within the household. The poverty estimates are not comparable across all surveys in this series.

Summer's serve of tennis Injuries: Do you need to see a tennis physiotherapist?
Jan 2019 - Melbourne Sports we have several practitioners with expertise in treating tennis injuries. Due to our reputation with sporting injuries, we regularly see patients with tennis injuries (especially at this time of year!) – these injuries can range from a sprained ankle to persistently painful shoulder.

Should I see a physio for my shin pain?
Nov 2018 - Shin splints is the common name for a condition known as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS). This is the umbrella term used to describe pain felt in the inner (medial) part of the shin bone (tibia) that is often felt during exercise involving impact loading, for example running and jumping sports such as basketball. Pain in the medial shin can be a sign of training error, resulting in overload of the tibia from overuse (such as training for a marathon) or from a sudden increase in load after a period of rest (such as returning to training post injury/illness/holiday.
Do I need physio after dislocating my shoulder?
Oct 2018 - The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, allowing for a large range of movement. One of the reasons for this mobility is the anatomy of the shoulder joint – a ball (humeral head) joining with a shallow socket (glenoid). While this structure allows for the great degree of shoulder movement we get, it also makes the shoulder an inherently unstable joint meaning that the risk of shoulder dislocation is relatively high in comparison to other joints.

Soft tissue therapy carried out by some one who understands the specific demands that bjj places on your body can be an invaluable part of your recovery. Certain areas or postures can be put under increased demand depending on your style of game, there are also other areas that will commonly experience high load/usage across the majority of practitioners. Along with the load considerations, there are the inevitable (hopefully minor!) injuries from a quickly applied arm bar, or from attempting to fight your way out of a guillotine which can lead to pain or stiffness.
Do I need to see a physiotherapist after spraining/rolling my ankle?
Sept 2018 - Ankle sprains are an extremely common sporting injury. Ankle sprains can also be sustained during non-sporting activities such as tripping over a curb or uneven surfaces. Unfortunately, once you have sustained one ankle sprain, there is a very high risk of re-injury. This risk increased with each subsequent injury to the area. Fortunately, however, physiotherapy management of ankle sprains is very effective and can significantly reduce the risk of re-injury. Therefore, it is extremely important to see a physiotherapist after sustaining an ankle injury to complete a comprehensive rehabilitation program in order to return to playing sport or completing daily activities with minimal risk or a recurrent injury.

What to do about Persistent Pain?
September 2017 - Are you someone that has been dealing with ongoing and persistent pain? There is a wide range of information on 'doctor google' that will attribute this pain to different anatomical structures and injuries. One of the most important things to realise about ongoing pain is that pain does not necessarily mean tissue damage or injury. Pain is only an output of the brain. This is not to say that the pain you are experiencing is all in your head, your pain is 100% real. However, unfortunately the body's way of processing input to the brain has become altered and previously non-painful inputs into the brain have become painful.

Should I see a physio if I have injured my hamstring?
Feb 2019 - Hamstring strain injuries continue to be one of the most prevalent injuries seen in athletes involved in sports requiring high speed running/chasing/change or direction. They can also happen traumatically, for example slipping and falling into a "splits" position. Hamstring strains have a very high risk of re-injury, with research showing that up to one third of hamstring strain injuries will recur within the first 4 weeks of returning back to sport.


If you are an average adult, you probably qualify for being a time-pressured person. That is, you most likely have more things to do than you have time to do them. If this is the case, one of the things you may not do that you should do is exercise.
It is an unfortunate fact that 6 out of 10 adults lead totally sedentary lifestyles. Even more problematic, only 1 out of 10 adults performs sufficient physical activity to attain measurable fitness benefits. No wonder a recent Ohio University study showed that 75 percent of American adults are overweight. Approximately the same percentage of men and women will experience low back pain, and about 50 percent will die from heart disease.
Perhaps because it doesn't take time, dieting is the preferred approach to weight loss for many people. According to a Tufts University study, 1 out of 2 women and 1 out of 4 men are presently dieting to reduce their bodyweight. Although low calorie diets may produce temporary results, the 33 billion dollars spent annually on diet programs has proved unsuccessful for permanent bodyweight improvements.
But why do less than 10 percent of dieters keep the weight off? Because keeping fat off is closely related to keeping muscle on. You see, average adults have two problems. One, they are adding about 15 pounds of fat every decade of life. Two, they are losing about 5 pounds of muscle during the same time period. So what the bathroom scale registers as a 10-pound weight gain actually represents a 20-pound change in body composition. If the body were a car, this would be analogous to driving a bigger automobile with a smaller engine.
While it is obvious we need to reduce our fat stores, it is just as necessary to replace our muscle tissue. We need larger engines (muscles) to burn more calories (both awake and asleep), so that we can eat reasonable amounts of food without gaining fat weight.
At this point, you may think that I am going to recommend regular aerobic exercise such as walking, cycling or stepping. You're right. Aerobic exercise is almost as effective as dieting for reducing body fat. In addition, it conditions your cardiovascular system and reduces your risk of heart-related diseases. But it does not replace muscle tissue, and it does take time . . . more on that later.
My best advice, however, is to do regular strength training to replace muscle tissue and recharge your metabolism. In addition, strong muscles may reduce your risk of osteoporosis (Tufts University research), colon-cancer (University of Maryland research), diabetes (University of Maryland research), low-back pain (University of Florida research), high blood pressure (University of California research), arthritic pain (Tufts University research), and depression (Harvard University research).
Perhaps you are convinced that a combined activity program (aerobic exercise and strength training) is a better health and fitness approach than dieting. Indeed it is, but you still may not have enough time for such an active lifestyle. After all, most of your active friends probably spend at least an hour a day on their exercise program.
We recently completed a study with time-pressured people to determine the practical benefits of relatively brief exercise sessions. This research, conducted at the South Shore YMCA, required the participants to train just 20 minutes a day, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, for a one-hour-per-week exercise commitment.


Our core mission is brain injury prevention. We accomplish this mission by distributing safety helmets and educational materials throughout our local community. The Foundation educates young people and their families about the dangers and consequences of failing to wear safety gear, particularly helmets. The Foundation promotes safety and brain injury prevention to youngsters and adults engaged in any skating or cycling sport (skateboards, in-line skating, bicycling, and foot powered scooters). Our approach is simple and direct. If you pledge to wear a helmet when skating, the Foundation will give you one…FREE!
Ian Tilmann loved skateboarding and spent many hours enjoying the sport. He loved feeling the wind surrounding him as he sped downhill carving each and every curve of the road beneath him. He was fearless with a strong belief in enjoying life to its fullest. He was a street surfer...his passion was long-boarding.
On the evening of May 16, 2005, Ian and several friends were skateboarding down Hercules Ave. in Clearwater, FL on a hill known locally as Cemetery Hill. As he was making his last run down the hill that evening his skateboard suddenly stopped and he was thrown headfirst onto the pavement.
Ian was NOT wearing a safety helmet and as a result he suffered severe traumatic brain injuries. Ian never regained consciousness and died 10 days later on May 26, 2005. This beloved son was 28 years old.
When people hear Ian's story many ask with shock and disbelief "he died from falling off a skateboard"? His parents believe their son's death could have been prevented by simply choosing to wear a helmet.
Ian Tilmann had a passion for humanity and helping others. His family and friends understood this passion and his "pay it forward" attitude. It is their hope that through their tragic loss they can pass on Ian's passion for humanity by saving other families the pain that we have endured.
