August 4th marks the birthday of Raoul Wallenberg, a man who single-handedly saved 100,000 Jews during the Holocaust. Museums around the world offer the opportunity to remember and pay tribute to his name on the day that brought him into our world, August 4, 1912.
In 1944, at the age of 32, Wallenberg was appointed First Secretary at the Swedish embassy in Budapest with the mission to start a rescue operation for the Jews. Wanting to immediately get things done, he made sure that he would not be held back by the usual bureaucratic red tape.
Upon arriving in Budapest, Wallenberg began issuing Swedish papers to as many Jews as he could, effectively protecting them from the Germans. At first, Wallenberg was only given permission to issue 1,500 of the protective passes. However, through promises and empty threats to the Hungarian foreign ministry, he succeeded in issuing thousands more. Wallenberg would chase after the deportation trains, climb on them, and hand out countless Swedish papers. He would then have the train stopped and order that those with papers be discharged.
These papers were only one way that Wallenberg saved the Jews. He also built 30 "Swedish houses." With his country's flag waving from the door, the area was declared Swedish territory. In these houses, Wallenberg managed to hide 15,000 refugees.
In January 1945, Adolf Eichmann, Hitler's right hand man, planned a total massacre of the largest ghetto in Hungary. Wallenberg found out and sent a message to the man appointed to carry out the deed, August Schmidthuber, commander-in-chief for the German troops in Hungary. Wallenberg threatened and warned him that he would be tried and hanged as a war criminal if the massacre proceeded. It was called off and 70,000 Jews were saved.
Raoul Wallenberg risked his life to rescue as many Jews as possible. Wallenberg was and will always remain a righteous gentile in every sense of the word. Today, it is impossible to accomplish what he did. We cannot turn back the clocks of history and save the victims from the iron clasp of the Nazis. But we can remember them. Through learning about the Holocaust, their names and memories will be etched in our hearts forever.
Thankfully, today, it is not too hard to learn about the six million that perished. There is The Jewish Heritage Museum in New York City, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, and countless others.
The Jewish Heritage Museum, located in New York City, takes a holistic approach. It focuses not only on the Holocaust itself, but on Jewish life before and after. The first floor displays Jewish life at the start of the 20th century. One can explore the various different communities that existed around the world, their customs, and their social systems. After having seen all the exhibits on the ground floor, one has a distinct feeling of what Jewish life was like before Hitler entered the scene.
The second floor then begins with the war against the Jews. It displays the anti-Semitic propaganda that spread like wildfire, and shows how the Jews fared in the persecution against them. It tells a tale of Jewish pride and the fight for survival. There are galleries in which one can sit and watch short films containing testimonials from those who survived the Holocaust. They talk about the evils they endured, while the pictures hanging along the walls bring their descriptions to life.
Sadness is then turned into hope on the third floor of the museum. It focuses on Jewish renewal. It shows how life was rebuilt after the destruction, and how the Jewish tradition that Germany was hell-bent on crushing, flourished once again. With the establishment of the state of Israel and new communities sprouting worldwide, the Jewish heritage lives on.
The U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington takes a more concentrated approach, focusing only on the Holocaust itself. It also contains three floors, yet splits them up very differently. When touring the exhibition, one begins on the third floor and proceeds downward.
The top floor displays the Nazi assault, from their rise to power in 1933 to the outbreak of World War II in 1939. It explains how Germany, as a totalitarian state, with its propaganda, violence and state-sponsored racism, not only allowed but encouraged the persecution to escalate. These themes are addressed in the two films that play: The Nazi Rise to Power and Anti-Semitism.
The middle floor centers around the "Final Solution", during which persecution evolved into mass murder. From 1940 to 1945, six million Jews were killed. The floor presents images from the ghettos and concentration camps, as well as artifacts including mounds of confiscated glasses and shoes. One can walk through an actual railcar that transported the Jews and see one of the bunks from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
The liberation of the camps is shown on the bottom floor. It addresses the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in 1945 and the condition in which the Jews were found. Films include footage of survivors' sharing their experiences. In addition, there is a wall that pays tribute to the thousands of men and women throughout Europe, like Raoul Wallenberg, who risked their lives to save Jews. Portraying the rebuilding of the Jewish spirit and the quest to bring those responsible to justice, the final floor of the museum brings hope and restores faith in the goodness of people.
Yad Vashem, located on the outskirts of Jerusalem, takes a more hopeful approach. It focuses on the immortality of the Jewish people. While telling the same tale of persecution and terror, the emphasis is on Jewish pride, determination and survival. The architecture features countless skylights, which create a brilliant effect of shafts of light shining through the darkness.
Its Hall of Names pays tribute to every single Jew who perished in the Holocaust. The 10-meter high dome-shaped ceiling displays the photographs of 600 victims, while over 2,000 "Pages of Testimony", short biographies on each victim, are stored along the walls.
There is also a separate children's memorial in which the 1.5 million who perished are remembered. The memorial is hollowed out from an underground tavern; the space is completely dark and memorial candles are reflected off the walls and ceiling, creating the impression of millions of shining stars. In the background, the names of the murdered children, their age, and their country of origin, are announced. The heartbreaking experience is softened by a walk along the "Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations", where trees have been planted to honor the virtuous rescuers.
Raoul Wallenberg's tree stands amid the gardens. For him, his colleagues, and most importantly, for the six million that perished, the museums exist.

Movie Man: Crime fighters, snow devils make for fun viewing
Sep 30, 2011 at 12:01 AM Sep 30, 2011 at 6:18 AM
This week, the Movie Man brings you an oddball triple feature that includes an HBO comedy, a sci-fi schlockfest and a '70s cop comedy. Dim the lights and let's get started!
This week, the Movie Man brings you an oddball triple feature that includes an HBO comedy, a sci-fi schlockfest and a '70s cop comedy. Dim the lights, and let's get started!
'Bored to Death'
"True Blood" and "Game of Thrones" get more attention, but one of HBO's best shows is this sly half-hour comedy that returns for its third season Oct. 10. It focuses on a struggling writer (Jason Schwartzman) who becomes a private eye despite the fact that he lacks (a) experience and (b) a license. This, of course, gets him in all sorts of trouble, which usually involves his friends, a goofy cartoonist (Zack Galifianakis) and a rich publisher (Ted Danson).
The best thing about "Bored to Death" is how it balances the silly and the sophisticated while allowing just enough heart to make us care about these characters. The second season (just out on DVD) offers plenty of all those elements, with a kinky cop, a Kevin Bacon cameo, a comic book convention and a touching pre-surgery moment between Schwartzman and Danson. At the very least, I can never predict where this show is going to go next — which, these days, is a very good thing.
'Snow Devils'
Not many movies dare to combine half-baked theories about global warming with abominable snowman lore and an alien invasion scenario. In fact, there's only one I know of — 1967's "The Snow Devils." And for that, we can be thankful.
An Italian-American co-production that unites the worst each nation has to offer cinematically, "The Snow Devils" brings its strange story to life through a mind-numbing combination of wooden acting, inane dubbing, crude models and even cruder stock footage.
The movie barely makes a lick of sense as it follows its square-jawed, mountain-haired hero Captain Harris (Renato Baldini) up the Himalayas, through deep space and back home to Earth, but I had a swell time anyway. Maybe that's because I focused on the cheap ways the film tries to convince us it takes place in "the future" (Look! They're playing checkers — and they're cone-shaped!), or maybe it's because I'm a bad-movie masochist. Either way, I can't really recommend it to the average viewer. But if the idea of superintelligent yetis from space sounds intriguing, maybe you should give it a shot.
Just don't say I didn't warn you.
'The Super Cops'
Based on the real-life exploits of a couple of New York police officers, "The Super Cops" is a fascinating time capsule from 1974. The Big Apple was arguably at its grimy, gritty low point back then, and seeing the city looking like the apocalypse hit is as much fun as watching our heroes in action.
Those heroes, by the way, are David Greenberg (Rob Leibman) and Robert Hantz (David Selby), a couple of hotshot rookies who can't resist breaking the rules to bring in the badguys. Most of their adventures — even the dangerous ones — are played for laughs, and it's fun to see how far over-the-top they're willing to go to collar someone. What's not so much fun is enduring Liebman's performance. He's so self-consciously wacky and pleased with himself that you keep hoping one of the criminals will have better aim. Still, as annoying as Liebman's acting is, he fits in perfectly with the rest of the craziness.
Keep an eye out for the late Pat Hingle, here playing a role similar to Commissioner Gordon, whom he played in the "Batman films." And marvel at the fact that "The Super Cops" was directed by Gordon Parks, the same guy who brought us "Shaft" three years earlier.
Both "The Snow Devils" and "The Super Cops" are available via warnerarchive.com, by the way.

It's not always easy to find a 100% alternative that suits all your needs. And sometimes it is not yet possible. But a lot of times it can be possible to make a better, greener, happier choice.
Floss is important for your oral hygiene. But you will most likely find either a plastic free or vegan floss. I haven't found a plastic free and vegan alternative yet, if you have please tell me!!!!
The plastic free floss comes in tin's or glass and is made of Mulberry silk. The vegan floss is mostly made of non compostable plastic. But what is actually cruelty free? Using plastic floss that might get washed into the ocean (in countries where they don't have incinerators the waste goes to landfill where birds could get entangled or it get's washed into the ocean and harm marine life) it's always possible that animals get entangled.
Since I have seen Photos from animals getting entangled in plastic lines (same size than floss) I would always opt for the compostable one. Or like Bea Johnson try to use second hand silk fabrics to make your own floss.
You can find bamboo toothbrushes in a lot of organic shops and zero waste stores or eco friendly online stores by now. You can even find some made of recycled plastic, made of recycled money, etc. I just wait for the first supermarket to get them in stock!
Mostly Bamboo Toothbrushes come wrapped in paper and carton (the recycled ones still come in plastic) or in compostable plastic bag (not all city composts take these bags though, check with your local compost facility if they take compostable plastic before buying!).
They bristles are mostly made with plastic (vegan). But you can also find natural bristles (non vegan).
Let's face it, bamboo toothbrushes are not the cheapest toothbrushes, but please don't stress.
My boyfriend reacted with bleeding irritations on the tongue and inside cheeks after using a bamboo toothbrush, so we bought a toothbrush for him where you only need to dispose the head. Still plastic (also a little PE in the packaging), but like the Bamboo brushes only the bristles/head will get disposed.
I was very happy with my bamboo toothbrushes, but then I had a dentist appointment and my gum is not very healthy so he suggested an electric toothbrush… So yes, I opted for an electric toothbrush. Our health is always important! I hear a lot that people actually feel guilty when buying medications in plastic, but jeeeeez, thats wrong!!! We can control a lot of things, we can reduce single use plastic in our daily life, but hell yes, plastic is an awesome material when it comes to health! So don't ever stress about plastic when it means it can help you to stay healthy!
Luckily there are recycling options for a lot of things, so if you are still using plastic toothbrushes, and your tooth paste comes in plastic I really suggest to check on Terra Cycle if they have a program in your country for oral care products. Or google if there might be any other recycling program in your city or country where you can send it too.
I have seen amazing organic and natural toothpastes in a lot of northern American supermarkets. But they all come in plastic tubes! Non recyclable in most city recycling facilities. (But Terra Cycle has some boxes where you could collect them.).
Some people switch to tooth powder, some use tablets (you will find those in Zero Waste shops, online or organic shops), some make their own or use brands using aluminium tubes Like Davids (my favorite german tooth paste comes in aluminium, only the lid is plastic. I'm using it for years even before I heard about Zero Waste).
In Montreal I found tooth paste to refill!! So if there is a zero waste store in your town, they might offer refill too.

June 11, 2019 June 8, 2019 by Brad
Forcing a Calgary teen desperate for a ride home to have sex with three men has landed a convicted rapist a nine-year prison term.
Justice John McCarthy agreed with Crown prosecutor Jason Wuttunee that a significant jail sentence for Abdifatah Ibrahim was warranted for the Feb. 9, 2015, gang rape of a 16-year-old girl.
MacKay had argued Ibrahim's youthfulness at the time of the offence and the horrible childhood he experienced growing up in war-torn Somalia called for a lighter sentence. "One can only imagine the horror of being between the age of six and 10 and seeing numerous people being killed," explained his lawyer.
So the lawyers wants the court to forgive the Somalian for rape based on the hardship of his upbringing in war-torn Somalia. As if this has any relevance to the case. How typical of Canada's left-wing legal industry.
Of course, no one is claiming all people from Somalia behave in the manner of the rapist. This is not the point. The point is that Justin Trudeau and pit-bull Somalian immigration minister, MP Ahmed Hussen, perpetually OVERLOOK crimes committed by their chosen from the Third World.
This is what occurred when a Syrian refugee (allegedly– the trial continues) murdered 13-year old Marrisa Shen of Burnaby, BC. Trudeau and Hussen also refused to condemn the "Danforth Killer," convicted of murdering TWO teenage Canadian girls in 2018.
Once again, bet on TOTAL SILENCE from government on the conviction of rape by way of the Somalian import. The Trudeau government DO NOT condemn any aspects of Third World migration and refugee intake, no matter how lurid. This they reserve for Old Stock Canada–branding us racist and bigoted for simply INQUIRING about illegal refugees flocking to Canada from the United States.
Somalian immigrants are known world-wide for being unemployed and collecting welfare from the western nations they migrate to. In Switzerland, over 80% of Somalians are on welfare. Quite the benefit for the host-nation, eh? Yet in Canada, Justin Trudeau behaves as if these people are worth their weight in gold. So much so, he placed one of them into one of the most powerful positions in government– the Minister of Immigration portfolio.
Prosecutor Jason Wuttunee noted Ibrahim and his cohorts continued their predatory behaviour even when the victim began crying "pleading for them to stop and take her home." In a victim impact statement which she read in court on Monday, the woman said her life was eternally altered by Ibrahim's actions.
"I was gang raped that night. My life has never and will never be the same," she said. "My body will never be the same after the sexual abuse you put me through. I cry after intimacy at times, because I feel guilty because of what you did to me."
Total TRAUMA for a 16-year old Canadian girl. Naturally, Trudeau and Hussen will IGNORE the entire affair, and continue their tedious virtue-signalling regarding the wonders and benefit of importing uneducated and unemployed Africans to live off Canada's generous welfare state. As for Canadian-born citizens who have paid taxes to government for decades, Trudeau says these folks are genocidal bigots and racists.

The upside-down world of Liberal-Globalism in Canada. Trans-form truth into myth, and myth into truth. Brand Old Stock Canada with the racist-tag, while presenting unemployed Africans as the epitome of model citizenship within our borders–even when they are ILLEGAL MIGRANTS.
What a SHAM. This Trudeau MUST GO. The globalist deceptions must stop. The only way for this to occur is voting out the menace Liberal government in October, 2019.
Justin Trudeau and Ahmed Hussen are COUNTING ON VOTER APATHY. In the meantime, busloads of Sikhs and Muslims will roll into voting stations after being pumped up by their Multicultural leaders and IMAM's. This is Trudeau post-modern Canada in FULL EFFECT.

If his childhood was so traumatizing and has left him with emotional scars that ask us to give special consideration for his horrible acts in Canada, why did we let him into our precious country in the first place? And now that he is here and obviously a problem, why isn't he sent back to Somalia, where he behaviour may not raise eyebrows?
The source article says the Somalian rapist was previously convicted of rape.

Microsoft got Elijah Wood and The Killers to help them show off the XBox 360 on MTV tonight. It seems to have some cool features and impressive specs, but the look doesn't do anything for me. Of course, it's not really the look that matters, at least it shouldn't matter. It's the games. I'll give MS this, they know how to hit their core demographic.
J.t.Qbe comments: The only reason I have any interest is because of the upcoming Elder Scrolls game...and I probably will never have time to play it anyway. I got the Xbox primarily for Morrowind and don't have time to play that either.

A look into Star Wars: Padme's Dresses. Annex C
It's been a while, but I always come back to her in the end. Padmé Amidala, from the Star Wars Prequels, is a Style Icon and my personal standout from the mess that Episode I to III ended up being. Because of it, I've decided it was time to finish what I started so long ago and finally address Episode III. It took me long enough.
So let's dive back into it for one last chance to love, hate, snark and bark at the astonishing monstrosity that is Padmé's Wardrobe!
A BRIEF REMINDER
What are the Annexes? Well, the Annexes focus on all the costumes that were "left behind" in my selection of Padme Costumes for the A look into Star Wars: Padme's Dresses series. Here, I point out influences, likes, and dislikes, and anything that might feel relevant whilst digging into the gigantic wardrobe of this Galactic Queen. With this out of the way, let's go!
ANNEX C: REVENGE OF THE SITH
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith brings the prequel trilogy to a close and, very unfortunately, pushes Padmé out of the spotlight completely by relegating her to the background of the story as a worried wife and mother-to-be. This, even more unfortunately, means she doesn't get to have as many costumes and the ones she does get are much less memorable than her usual standard. Such an absolute shame!
C1. THE VELVET CLOAK
This is the ensemble she wears when she meets Anakin after his mission to rescue the Supreme Chancellor. It's a relatively brief scene, if rather important, as it is when she chooses to tell him that she's pregnant.
Here she appears with a simple purple dress almost completely covered by a rich, voluminous, dark purple robe that enfolds her completely. The underside of the cloak is decorated with a spotted pattern. And there's my first reason to leave it out in the first place: all we get to see of the look is a huge cloak.
Narratively, it makes a lot of sense, as she's trying to disguise a pregnancy. Big heavy clothes will certainly do that. But influence wise, there's hardly anything to mention, because all we can see of this gown is the cloak which is so huge and heavy, that I can not see the dress beneath, so I have no idea what she has beneath it.
The cloak itself reminds me of Anglo-Saxon fashion (pre-Norman Conquest), but there are so many cultures through so many periods that have used cloaks, that it could actually have been influenced by another period/culture and it would be hard for me to pinpoint.
Honestly, in this look, the only standout for me is the hairstyle, which consists of an elaborate twin-bun hairstyle that is highly reminiscent of the Classic Leia Buns.
And like the Classic Leia Buns, it is basically inspired by (if not directly lifted from) the traditional "Squash Blossom" Style of the Hopi Women in North America.
And that's about it as far as references and influences go.
In the end, as you can see, there simply isn't much to talk about regarding this look, and that was reason enough to not warrant a full article for itself.
C2. THE SILK NIGHTDRESS
The proliferation of nightgowns that started in Episode II continues in Episode III as Padme, in turn, continues to be nothing more than a love interest in the plot. This silk nightdress is worn by her early on in the story in a rather infamous scene in which they declare their mutual love. It is also worn in the following scene, where Anakin reveals to her his recurrent nightmare about her death.
This look consists of a light blue, almost lavender silk nightdress. It's a low-cut neckline held up by several ribbon straps. Out of an embossed metal pendant at the center of the top hem are attached three strings of pearls on each side that wrap around her arms. The back of her nightdress is folded in a decorative fan-styled pattern, held in place by several silver clasps. She wears her hair down with a small hair clip on top.
I honestly don't see many interesting influences beyond modern sexy nightdresses. Maybe there's some Ancient greek influence there, but it's very vague. As for the hair, it's completely modern. There's nothing for me to say.
In this case, it seemed logical at the time when I was choosing which costumes to cover just to skip this one. There's virtually nothing to talk about.
C3. THE BURGUNDY VELVET GOWN
She wears this design in a rather brief scene with Anakin in which they discuss politics at home. He's confused in general, and she's smarter than anyone else in the film and they are stupidly in love. And that's the scene.
It makes no sense that she's wearing this for a very private scene inside her house. So I wasn't actually surprised when I found out that this dress was originally meant for a deleted scene in which she's in a political meeting with other senators. My guess is that that scene happened right before or right after the scene with Anakin, so it made sense that she'd either dressed to go out or just came back.
This is a three-layered gown. First, there's a studded underdress (we only see the neckline and the sleeve cuffs of it), then there's a dark Maroon overdress (we only see the sleeves), and on top, there's a heavy, iridescent purple cape decorated with swirling designs with a full-shoulder pauldron and open slits for her arms to come out.
The hair is done in a very intricate style: she has small buns on each side and a small loop of hair beneath each of them. The rest of her hair is braided with a silver strip of fabric braided in with it. An umber, jewel-studded headband completes the hairstyle.
At this point, the main goal of the design, narratively, is to conceal her pregnancy. So most of the designs for Episode III sort of blend together into the category of huge, heavy outfits for me. The heavy layering in all these outfits also makes it really hard to decipher and decode the outfits' influences, because you can barely see the outfit, you only get to see the outer coat, which covers everything else. This was one of the main reasons (if not the main reason) why I only covered two designs from Episode III in the main series.
Still, I see some interesting influences here and there. For instance, the coat with the pauldron feels like a mix between early victorian coats and late victorian coats.
The arm slit and the heavy coat reminds me a lot about certain Renaissance coats. The one pictured below is Italian and dates from 1502.
But the general weight and feel of the outfit, as well as the arm slit, sort of reminds me of mid to late 16th Century Spanish Fashion.
All in all, these are my main guesses for the influences. But I might actually be wrong because it's hard to see the details of the design.
This was the other reason I left this design out from the main series. Nobody wants to read about my blind guesses, to be honest.
C4. THE BEADED DRESS
Padmé wears this gown for another private scene with Anakin in which he confides in her about the Council not trusting him and she tries to convince him otherwise. He also promises that he won't let his nightmares about her dying become a reality.
At least this one feels a bit more like something you'd wear to be around the house.
The design is made of navy blue linen and accented by a beaded black necklace and an elaborate jet belt. The belt, however, does not encircle Padmé's waist but decorates the front of the gown only. The look is finished by a black lace shawl.
Her hair is styled in a rather simple fashion: curly hair with just the front pinned back to keep it out of the face.
This whole look feels weirdly and extremely modern and, for lack of a better world, "real". Like, my first thought was that it looked a lot like something a poor early 20th century housewive would wear (if you ignore the heavy jewelry).
I genuinely doubt (as in I don't truly believe) they had this as an influence in mind, but it's where my brain goes when I see this look. And it feels like a weird styling choice for this particular character.
Jokes aside, the design does feel a lot like very late victorian to me because of the severity of the outfit, but also the neckline.
As for the hair, it's almost remarkable just how unremarkable it is and how little there is to say about it.
All in all, this look was left out of the main series because it felt like it would be a rather short and boring analysis, and nobody has time for that.
C5. THE AQUA NIGHTGOWN
She wears yet another nightgown on the night of the Raid of the Jedi Temple as she waits for Anakin to come home without knowing what is going on. Later on, still not knowing the full truth, she says her goodbyes to him as he goes on a mission for the Chancellor with this same outfit.
The design consists of a soft, flowing nightgown accented by embroidered Naboo designs, tiny shells and a waterfall drapery flowing off the shoulders in the back. The front of the gown parts into a slit, revealing an inner layer of light blue silk satin. There are also gloves that start at her wrist and up to her upper arm, the bottom of which is decorated with embroidery, shells and pearls.
The headdress is a silver alloy inset with aquamarine-colored stones that she wears with her hair down.
I honestly don't know what to say about it. It's a gorgeous nightgown, for sure, but... if you looked at a promo picture not knowing this was from Star Wars, would you say it belongs in Star Wars?
The overall design feels extremely modern and, as for influences, all that I can pinpoint is the embroidery, which is clearly inspired by Art Nouveau design, which is fitting for the character, as it has been a constant influence since Episode II.
And then there's the hair, which is so influenced by the 90s that it's baffling. Like I wouldn't even call it an influence, but a direct carbon copy.
Even going beyond my hate of the sexy nightgown trope, I simply have little to say about it. This, coupled with the fact that it doesn't feel like it belongs in Star Wars ended up making my mind about leaving it out of the main series.
C6. THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY GOWN
This stunning design is worn during the final Senate Appearance of Padmé, where the Chancellor announces that the Republic will become an Empire (and therefore, he'll become Emperor) and where the one good line of dialogue in the whole prequels is uttered by Padmé herself: "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause". Quite relevant to the times we are living.
This design consists of a long, heavy, purple embroidered underdress with a heavy velvet overdress in a lighter hue of purple, puff sleeves and a high collar. On top of that, she has a darker purple pauldron that clasps at the front and attaches to a front panel of the fabric of the same hue that reaches the floor. The final touch is brought by a lighter purple scarf that goes around her shoulders, clasps at the front with the pauldron and falls down her front to the floor.
As for the hairstyle, she wears it sternly pulled back into a bun and decorated with a silver hairpiece resembling two wings that fold to create a circle.
This, influence wise, is a bit hard to read. Basically because in the movie, you only see her in a close-up shot, so you barely glance at the whole ensemble, and this promo pictures, are very contrasted and I can't really read the details that well. Which was a deciding factor in leaving it out of the main series: I can't analyze it if I can't fully see it.
And it is a shame because what I can see is spectacular. It's regal, extravagant, fits the character, and it sort of recuperates a certain Asian flair that we haven't seen in the character for a long time.
From the general shape to the layering, to the weight and theatricality, this design is very reminiscent of the Wonsam, a traditional Korean Garment.
Even though the sleeves feel more Victorian than Korean. Same as the pauldron, that seems to take a lot from the aesthetics of the Inverness Cape.
As for the hairstyle, it's very simple, yet works really well. The silver hairpiece, clearly reminiscent of a Religious figure's holy crown, creates a striking image.
It's a shame because such a gorgeous design was barely captured on screen and robbed me of the opportunity of getting to fully appreciate it in motion.
C7. THE REVELATION ENSEMBLE
She wears this design when Obi-Wan goes to visit her to get information about Anakin's whereabouts and ends up revealing to her that he has turned to the Dark Side.
This ensemble consists of a glossy purple dress decorated with swirling embroidered motifs and a fluffy, dark blue robe clasped with two beaded tassels. On her shoulders and sleeves, the coat is decorated with an embroidered trim.
Her hair is rolled along the side of her head and into a sort of ponytail at the back, held with three wide, embossed, silver band at intervals down the length of her hair. On top of this, she wears a headpiece that consists of four metal headbands twisted together.
Design-wise, I personally love the aesthetic of this. Narratively, it's a bit wonky. The fact that the design doesn't hide her pregnancy, points out to the fact that this is homeware, and that she was not expecting company. And we've seen how she wears her hair when she's not expecting company (like a 90s girl, basically). And this is not it. This hairstyle is way more complex than her regular stay-at-home standard, and it feels a bit out of place, even though I prefer this styling to the loose-curly-hair-with-a-headband styling.
But at least it's not a sexy nightgown. I appreciate that.
As for its influences, it is very reminiscent of the Black Coruscant Gown from Episode I to me. Although that probably is because it's made of the same fluffy fabric.
Beyond that, it just reads like a modern bathrobe. Yet the decorations make it feel alien enough.
As for the hair, the overall style, to me, reads as a take on Disney's Jasmine iconic hairstyle, which in itself it's not based on any historical style. I'm pretty sure it's not that, but its all I can see.
But, jokes aside, if I had to name a historical reference, I would say it is very reminiscent of the Italian trinzale, a popular headwear during the late 13th century and early to mid 14th century. This consists of a fabric cap covering the back of the head and was often worn accompanying the coazzone (a thick ponytail hanging down the back wrapped with scarf fabric, ribbons, and decorative trim).
All things considered, this design was left out of the main series because there was so little to talk about. It's pretty, but in the end, it's just a fancy nightgown and a robe. The hair is the most interesting part of the equation, and it takes less than 5 lines to talk about it. So, it was an obvious decision.
C8. THE MUSTAFAR TRAVEL ATTIRE
After finding out Anakin has turned to the Dark Side, she rushes off to Mustafar with Obi-Wan to try and bring him back. And she does this in this outfit.
This action-oriented outfit consists of a simple long tan shirt that reaches the top of her thighs with a turned-up collar clasped with a delicate piece of metal goldwork. On top of it, she wears a sort of harness made of brown leather that clasps on top of her belly with an intricate gold pendant. She also wears tight-fitting white pants (in the film they read like white, in the promo pictures they read sort of green, and I'm not sure which one it is) and simple brown boots. The look is completed with a pair of tan gloves that go from her knuckles to her upper arm.
Her hair is worn simply pulled back away from her face and (not so simply) into two large twisted braided buns, with the remaining hair worn into a loose long braid tied off with a band of leather.
This, for me, is what the White Battle Outfit of Episode II should have been. It's very reminiscent of the look of the original trilogy, but without being a clear carbon copy of another character's look.
But it still has a lot of design elements that make the look feel adequate for the character: the gloves, the use of metal decorations, the hair, the harness... It's Classic Star Wars but its still very much her. I would have liked to see more of this and less 90s hair.
For me, this is the only design of hers that truly makes me think both "this is the same universe as Episode IV" and "it's also 19 years earlier".
In the end, it was left out because, despite my personal like for it, there's very little to talk about. It's a very simple look that takes a lot from the original trilogy, as well as ideas about the character that has been established through the three previous films she's been in, but little else.
C9. THE BIRTHING ROBE
As she lays unconscious giving birth, she is shown wearing a simple white robe.
This a fancy hospital gown. Literally, nothing to see here. I think it's obvious why it was left out and discarded as a possible full-length article. Moving on!
C10. THE FUNERAL GOWN
Following her death, Padmé's body is returned to Naboo for a solemn evening funeral and buried in this water-themed ensemble that reminds us, one last time, that the Costume Design team was way too good for this film.
The design consists of a simple pleated, aqua-blue dress with an iridescent dark blue cloak studded with pearls. Her hair is styled loose, gently fanned out and adorned with delicate white flowers.
Here, I feel like the main influence was the traditional imagery of Ophelia's death, particularly the very famous painting about that very subject by Sir John Everett Millais. Which makes sense, as both represent the tragic, untimely and unnecessary death of a bright young woman brought forward in some way by her idiot lover.
Her outfit is clearly constructed to create the illusion of water flowing, which makes for a pretty image. But relies on a motif that I don't feel has been that clearly established for the character and sort of bothers me.
If you go digging around on the internet, there's a lot of people claiming that the water motif is linked to her character, but it really isn't. Her planet isn't established as a "water" planet until Episode II, and there isn't an explicit inclusion of that motif on her character up until this very costume. And that makes the whole thing a bit tagged on for me.
Last but not least, her hair feels very influenced by the pre-Raphaelite paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the dramatism of romantic painting.
And that's about it. It's a very simple yet very effective design, but there's little to talk about and, in all honesty, it couldn't fill a full article. So it was left behind.
Unlike with Episode II, in this final episode of the prequel trilogy, there is not much that I actively and viscerally hate. There are a few designs that I don't really like, but I don't hate them. It certainly is an improvement.
In Episode III there is less on an emphasis on making the character "sexy" and that allows the designs to return to the outlandish and weird choices that became so memorable (even if flawed) in Episode I. That doesn't mean there aren't "sexy" gowns in this movie, because there are a couple, but it isn't as widespread.
In the end, the main reason behind all these designs being cast out tends to be the same: there isn't enough to fill a full article.
And so, with this article, I bring to a close my longest-running series in this blog: The Padme Series. Right now, I've looked at and dissected every single outfit worn by this character, and I don't foresee a way to keep talking about her. So, for the time being, I bid the lady goodbye! Adieu, au revoir and farewell, at least until I find a way to continue talking about her...

Yes, that's a pretty possible influence, particularly with the pearl straps.
hi! lovely article, it's always wonderful to see other people care as much as i do about clothing and its design and influence and meaning. just a quick little note though that the trinzale/coazzone hairstyle was actually late 15th/early 16th century fashion, imported to italy from spain :)

Accounting for WEP and GPO in ESPlanner | ESPlanner Inc.
We have been using ESPlanner for years trusting that it was accounting for the WEP calculation in our benefits. Our state pensions from non-covered employment are entered as "not covered" and our past covered earnings are accurate. Now as my wife is planning on taking SS in November we compared ESP's calculation of her annual benefit of $12481 against SS' calculation using the WEP Online Calculator. The online calculator comes out as $9960 annual benefit. ESP (if SS is to be believed) is not factoring in the WEP reduction. Any ideas?
Does WEP apply to spousal social security benefits?
All my earnings over the past 44 years (I am currently 61 and retired) were social security covered. I never worked in any state jobs. My wife had only 7 years of social security covered earnings (1976 to 1982) which did not result in enough credits for her to receive her own social security benefit. However, my wife has worked on a state job the last 14 years and will get a state pension.

Does ESPlanner adjust Social Security Income for WEP and GPO?
My spouse has 17 years working in a state school district that did not take out social security (she essentially gets a pension, like social security, from the state). [She also has about 7 years of previous social security contributions.] As a result I understand her Social Security income is reduced due to the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset.

New figures have revealed that the number of househusbands has tripled over the past 15 years.
Damien and Karen Rivoire are just one of many British couples to embrace this role reversal with Karen going to work everyday as a HR director for one of the world's biggest multinational corporations while her husband Damien stays at home.
They told the Daily Mail last October about the impact this new arrangement had on their lives of Damien becoming a full-time dad and being responsible for collecting their three boys, aged between six and 12, from school, cooking them dinner, helping with their homework and putting them to bed.
Karen revealed: 'I realised I'd become the man I wouldn't have wanted to marry. Damien was so good on the home front, as a mother I was superfluous. He dealt with everything from cleaning to the household budget, booking the holidays and even putting pictures in the photo albums.
'He is such a brilliant chef, that if I cooked a meal, the boys would groan. Thanks to Damien, the house worked perfectly well without me.
Though it was the best decision financially for the family, Karen admits that personally it has required her to make certain sacrifices.
'There have been times when I have abused the arrangement and worked like a mad woman, 22 hours a day, because I knew Damien was handling everything at home,' she says.
Just ten years ago, Karen's domestic arrangements would have been exceptional. Now, across the nation, more women than ever are finding themselves in her shoes.
In one of the most seismic shifts of our time, a quarter of women in the UK are now their family's main breadwinner — five times the number at the start of the of the seventies, according to Oxford University research.


Those of you looking to build a new X99 based system, or upgrade your current rig, will certainly be interested in our evaluation of the GIGABYTE X99 Phoenix SLI motherboard. If you are the kinda guy that likes to show off his system, the black, orange and white color scheme is nicely accentuated by the "pretty damn cool" LED lighting system on the motherboard. Yes, we said "pretty damn cool."
GIGABYTE's X99 Phoenix SLI is another entry into the G1 Gaming lineup. While there is little to nothing that's truly unique about the feature set, the combination of features and unique aesthetics are hard to argue with. The X99 Phoenix SLI offers good features and stellar looks at a reasonable price point.


Collegiate Nation invites military veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to write blogs about the reality of their lives on American college campuses.
We want raw depictions and reports from the ground up on the realities facing our veterans on America's college campuses.
As American military operations in Iraq have ended and other soldiers are returning from Afghanistan, Collegiate Nation, the nation's only student-exclusive social site that has banned all ads and all tracking, announced today its desire to hear from U.S. military veterans attending college or trying to enroll. The company is inviting blog posts from military veterans who, after serving their country, are doing everything they can to transform their lives by pursuing higher education goals.
"We want raw depictions and reports from the ground up on the realities facing our veterans on America's college campuses," said Evelyn Castillo-Bach, the founder of Collegiate Nation.
While Collegiate Nation is known as a community of students who want to connect with other college students with real privacy without being tracked, the site also has a blog section where students can post anonymously or use any name they wish. "We want to make sure that all college students and especially our returning military on America's college campuses have the freedom to freely express themselves, uncensored, so we can learn from them about the realities of their lives," said Castillo-Bach. Students posting blogs on Collegiate Nation have the option to share their blog posts with their college friends only or to post their blogs so the entire world can read it.
Collegiate Nation -- also known as GoCNCN.com -- is a private network that differs sharply from Facebook, Google and other public sites. "We have banned all ads, all tracking, and third party apps and games because they are back doors to extracting private and personal information without consent," says Castillo-Bach.
Collegiate Nation offers a 2-tier membership structure. Any student can sign up for free and post blogs, video links, share photos, and connect with college friends. Students can remain on CN after graduation while they still have friends in college. At any time, they can transfer to the sister UmeNow.com. It offers the same privacy protections and even more features. It's open to the general public. Collegiate Nation is supported by students only. Premium level members who subscribe for $6.00/ month have access to all site areas.
Collegiate Nation was originally launched in 2010. Today students in over 30 campuses use the platform to connect in private with other college students. CN is the first and only student-exclusive private network that has banned all ads, third party apps and games because they are back doors to tracking and extracting private information.
Evelyn Castillo-Bach is the founder of Collegiate Nation and UmeNow. Both sites are known for fiercely protecting the privacy rights of its members. Castillo-Bach earned her M.S. in 1993 from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. She has traveled extensively in Ethiopia and in the Balkans, accompanying her Danish husband who is a lawyer.

The Commission on Biblical Gender Equality exists within the church as a voice and advocate for continued progress in this story. The commission exists to educate people in biblical equality regarding gender; to advocate for justice in the structure of the church regarding gender; to equip the church to articulate the truth about Biblical equality regarding gender; and to advocate for the modeling of women in ministry and leadership in all possible venues within the church.
This eight-page paper was written ten years after the Evangelical Covenant Church voted to ordain women (in 1976), in order to put the arguments on paper.
This study approaches the issue of women in ministry with a wide-angle lens instead of with a laser focused on particular passages of scripture, though it is certainly biblically solid.
This booklet "reaffirms the biblical basis for the full participation of women in the ministries of the church." It is presented in a question-and-answer format and designed specifically for use in Covenant churches.
This resource is provided in an effort to allow Covenanter's to experience the wealth of Christian insight provided by the preaching gifts of women clergy.
This narrative is a discussion of the role of women leaders in the church that tells of two college students that spend a summer thinking, praying, reading in order to discern their view on women in church leadership.
In eight sessions, this study examines the biblical support to make a case for the full participation of women in every aspect of ministry.

Cholesterol is something we need to live. But if the levels of cholesterol are higher then they ought to be they can cause heart attack and even stroke. These two things can be fought with medicines to help get away from the heart or stroke issues. Garlic is an antioxidant and this can help reduce cholesterol levels because it will be harder for it to continue to grow in amounts. That is what recent scientific studies have shown that being said if you and your doctor think garlic is a good idea to keep down high cholesterol then try it but don't be afraid to try other medications that can help you lose the cholesterol as well.
Hear attack and stroke are deadly and that being said you don't want to have one so if you go to a check up and have found out you have high cholesterol then you are going to want to get it treated right away. The same with high blood pressure which is also something that can be helped by garlic some medical studies suggest this. I would suggest not going for one thing to cure a big bad problem like this just use multiple things medicines for example that will be able to help you get rid of the high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
Having more then needed garlic in the body can also cause harm to the digestive track so be careful how much you intake to cure a problem because you could just be causing another problem. All medicines have some side effects or at least most do so make sure to take a medicine or garlic if chosen by your doctor to treat high cholesterol and try to get the medicine or use garlic in small amounts to reduce the amount side effects that you are going to have.
Now that you know what garlic can do for your high cholesterol know that eating foods that cause high cholesterol is not recommended if you are having cholesterol problems. Check with your doctor to see what foods you should stay away from when having a problem with cholesterol. The foods not to eat are important so learn those fast when having a doctor visit this way you are not going to have a problem when you are having high cholesterol and have a stroke or heart attack. These problems are real and so is high cholesterol so make sure not to have a health problem have a health solution.

Garlic and rosemary are two ingredients with powerful nutrient profiles. Garlic has been used for centuries as an anti-microbial agent and for its heart health properties, due to the naturally occurring sulfuric compound allicin. Let garlic sit for 2-10 minute exposed to oxygen after chopping to allow for the enzymatic reaction producing allicin to occur. Additionally, rosemary contains compounds that may improve concentration and stimulate the immune system. Together, these Mediterranean flavors blend nicely in this simple white bean spread perfect for sandwiches or crudité platters.
1. Add all ingredients in a food processor, secure lid, and process for 1 minute. Turn off processor, open lid and scrape down the sides. Secure lid and pulse until smooth. Spoon spread into a small dish or jar and drizzle with additional olive oil and a sprig of rosemary before serving.
Chef Note: Be careful not to over-process the spread as texture may become gummy.

Marie-Anne Matard-Bonucci, née en 1960, est une universitaire française, spécialiste du fascisme, du totalitarisme et de l'antisémitisme.

Biographie
Attachée à l'Italie depuis un voyage fait quand elle a dix-sept ans puis par son mariage à un fils d'immigrés toscans, elle s'intéresse à l'occasion de sa maîtrise d'histoire aux Carnets de prison d'Antonio Gramsci. Elle entre à l'École normale supérieure en 1980, et obtient l'agrégation d'histoire en 1983, puis consacre sa thèse au fascisme en Sicile sud-orientale, soutenue sous la direction de Pierre Milza en 1990. Elle analyse le régime mussolinien, à la suite des historiens Renzo De Felice et Emilio Gentile, comme un totalitarisme et non seulement une dictature à parti unique, et met en lumière les compromis idéologiques que le régime doit faire pour obtenir le soutien des élites foncières et industrielles, en appauvrissant le Mezzogiorno.

Après avoir été membre de l'École française de Rome, elle devient professeure d'Histoire contemporaine à l'Université Paris 8 et membre de l'Institut universitaire de France. Elle est rattachée à l'EA 1571, Histoire des pouvoirs, savoirs et société et chercheuse associée au Centre d'histoire de Sciences Po, dont elle est coresponsable du Groupe de recherches sur l'Italie contemporaine, avec Marc Lazar.

Elle poursuit ses recherches et ses publications sur le fascisme, mettant en lumière, contre le stéréotype dominant d'un régime, variante aseptisée et ensoleillé du nazisme, elle met en lumière un régime d'oppression et de terreur, fondé sur la violence, avec une radicalisation totalitaire progressive vers 1938, contrairement à ce qu'a écrit Emilio Gentile. Elle souligne également la fragilité des valeurs antifascistes de la fondation de la République italienne, depuis les scandales politiques des années 1990 (opération Mains propres), et la tentative de banalisation ou de réhabilitation du régime fasciste par des hommes politiques de droite et des historiens. En 2008, elle dirige avec Pierre Milza, un numéro de la Revue d'Histoire moderne et contemporaine : « Le fascisme italien : débats, historiographie et nouveaux questionnements »

Outre le fascisme, elle publie plusieurs ouvrages essentiellement consacrés à l'Italie, à propos de l'antisémitisme, des violences politiques et criminelles, dont la mafia à laquelle elle consacre son ouvrage en 1994, Histoire de la mafia.

Elle a également codirigé avec Pascal Ory puis Laurence Bertrand Dorléac un colloque consacré à l'histoire des relations culturelles internationales, et intervient à l'Université Grenoble-Alpes dans le cadre du Master d'Histoire "Relations et échanges culturels internationaux".

En janvier 2019, elle créé avec d'autres universitaires et enseignants du secondaire, l'association Alarmer, une association pour lutter contre le racisme et l'antisémitisme qui publie une revue du même nom

Night in the Lonesome October by Richard Laymon. I'm looking to get back into horror, and I thought I'd read a favourite horror author. I did a Google search later for him, and was devastated to find he'd died nearly eight years ago.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt. A perennial favourite.
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language by David Crystal. It opened my eyes to language. I thanked David Crystal for it when I met him.
Title, cover, summary of the plot on the cover, etc. If someone recommends it, that's good too.
Until recently, I would rather have gone to bed with a copy of a Danish grammar, but I'm getting back into fiction. I need to read more fiction anyway.
Plot, definitely. Let me name an author as an example: Richard Adams. His novel Watership Down was brilliant. Another novel of his, Shardik, is filled with cleverly crafted prose, but is a badly written and plotted book. Too flowery.
Henry Winter in the afore-mentioned Donna Tartt opus, The Secret History.
Umberto Eco: Mouse or Rat?
Yes. War and Peace. I will finish it one day though.
I totally agree with you about the Richard Adams books. I loved Watership Down and struggled to get to the end of Shardik, when I got there I thought what was the point!
I am going to have to give this a go later in the week ;-) watch this space!
Look forward to reading your response, CherryPie. And thanks for being the first to comment on my writing blog!
Oh Wow! I feel quite honored, I didn't realise I was the first to comment.

This island jewel located about 80 kilometres south of Noumea is known for its stunning beauty, pristine settings and quiet bays and lagoons. Captain James Cook reached the island in 1774 giving it the much-deserved name Isle of Pines for the abundance of beautiful tall pine trees throughout.
While the Isle of Pines is just 14 kilometres wide and approximately 16 kilometres long, the remote island has seemingly endless beaches set along crystal blue waters. With its contrasting scenery, from the cliff tops above to the plentiful coral reef within the waters, there is a great deal to see and enjoy here. Accommodation choices are available in every price range from camp grounds to budget and even luxury.
One of the loveliest areas of the island is Upi Bay. This beautiful sheltered cove is lined with towering pine trees and white sand beaches and calm transparent waters. Follow the coast to the island's southern coast where the inviting beaches of Vao and Kuto Bay await. The islands small village is located near Kuto Bay where bicycles and motorized bikes can be rented. Long walks or rides in areas undisturbed open up to visitors offering some of the most beautiful settings in the Pacific.
The island can be reached from Noumea on Air Caledonie with twice daily flights.

§ 457.238 - Documentation of payment rates.
(a) Review of State and local administration of the CHIP plan. In order to determine whether the State is complying with the Federal requirements and the provisions of its plan, CMS reviews State and local administration of the CHIP plan through analysis of the State's policies and procedures, on-site reviews of selected aspects of agency operation, and examination of samples of individual case records.
(b) Action on review findings. If Federal or State reviews reveal serious problems with respect to compliance with any Federal or State plan requirement, the State must correct its practice accordingly.
(a) Purpose. The Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) periodically audits State operations in order to determine whether -
(1) The program is being operated in a cost-efficient manner; and
(2) Funds are being properly expended for the purposes for which they were appropriated under Federal and State law and regulations.
(b) Reports. (1) The OIG releases audit reports simultaneously to State officials and the Department's program officials.
(2) The reports set forth OIG opinion and recommendations regarding the practices it reviewed, and the allowability of the costs it audited.
(3) Cognizant officials of the Department make final determinations on all audit findings.
(c) Action on audit exceptions - (1) Concurrence or clearance. The State agency has the opportunity of concurring in the exceptions or submitting additional facts that support clearance of the exceptions.
(2) Appeal. Any exceptions that are not disposed of under paragraph (c)(1) of this section are included in a disallowance letter that constitutes the Department's final decision unless the State requests reconsideration by the Appeals Board. (Specific rules are set forth in § 457.212.)
(3) Adjustment. If the decision by the Board requires an adjustment of FFP, either upward or downward, a subsequent grant award promptly reflects the amount of increase or decrease.
(a) Request for reconsideration. Any State dissatisfied with the Administrator's action on State plan material under § 457.150 may, within 60 days after receipt of the notice of final determination provided under § 457.160(a), request that the Administrator reconsider whether the State plan or plan amendment conforms with the requirements for approval.
(b) Notice of hearing. Within 30 days after receipt of the request, the Administrator notifies the State of the time and place of a hearing to be held for the purpose of reconsideration.
(c) Hearing procedures. The hearing procedures set forth in part 430, subpart D of this chapter govern a hearing requested under this section.
(d) Effect of hearing decision. CMS does not delay the denial of Federal funds, if required by the Administrator's original determination, pending a hearing decision. If the Administrator determines that his or her original decision was incorrect, CMS will pay the State a lump sum equal to any funds incorrectly denied.
(a) Basis for withholding. CMS withholds payments to the State, in whole or in part, only if, after giving the State notice, a reasonable opportunity for correction, and an opportunity for a hearing, the Administrator finds -
(1) That the State plan is in substantial noncompliance with the requirements of Title XXI of the Act or the regulations in this part; or
(2) That the State is conducting its program in substantial noncompliance with either the State plan or the requirements of Title XXI of the Act or the regulations in this part. (Hearings are generally not called until a reasonable effort has been made to resolve the issues through conferences and discussions. These efforts may be continued even if a date and place have been set for the hearing.)
(3) For purposes of this paragraph (a), substantial non-compliance includes, but is not limited to, failure to comply with requirements that significantly affect federal or state oversight or state reporting.
(b) Noncompliance of the plan. A question of noncompliance of a State plan may arise from an unapprovable change in the approved State plan or the failure of the State to change its approved plan to conform to a new Federal requirement for approval of State plans.
(c) Noncompliance in practice. A question of noncompliance in practice may arise from the State's failure to actually comply with a Federal requirement, regardless of whether the plan itself complies with that requirement.
(d) Notice, reasonable opportunity for correction, and implementation of withholding. If the Administrator makes a finding of noncompliance under paragraph (a) of this section, the following steps apply:
(1) Preliminary notice. The Administrator provides a preliminary notice to the State -
(i) Of the findings of noncompliance;
(ii) The proposed enforcement actions to withhold payments; and
(iii) If enforcement action is proposed, that the State has a reasonable opportunity for correction, described in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, before the Administrator takes final action.
(2) Opportunity for corrective action. If enforcement actions are proposed, the State must submit evidence of corrective action related to the findings of noncompliance to the Administrator within 30 days from the date of the preliminary notification. Corrective action is action to ensure that the plan is, and will be, administered consistent with applicable law and regulations, to ameliorate past deficiencies in plan administration, or to ensure that enrollees will be treated equitably.
(3) Final notice. Taking into account any evidence submitted by the State under paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the Administrator makes a final determination related to the findings of noncompliance, and provides a final notice to the State -
(i) Of the final determination on the findings of noncompliance;
(ii) If enforcement action is appropriate -
(A) No further payments will be made to the State (or that payments will be made only for those portions or aspects of the programs that are not affected by the noncompliance); and
(B) The total or partial withholding will continue until the Administrator is satisfied that the State's plan and practice are, and will continue to be, in compliance with Federal requirements.
(4) Hearing. An opportunity for a hearing will be provided to the State prior to withholding under paragraph (d)(5) of this section.
(5) Withholding. CMS withholds payments, in whole or in part, until the Administrator is satisfied regarding the State's compliance.
[65 FR 33622, May 24, 2000, as amended at 66 FR 2674, Jan. 11, 2001; 81 FR 27897, May 6, 2016]
Three distinct types of determinations are subject to Departmental reconsideration upon request by a State.
(a) Compliance with Federal requirements. A determination that a State's plan or proposed plan amendments, or its practice under the plan do not meet (or continue to meet) Federal requirements are subject to the hearing provisions of 42 CFR part 430, subpart D of this chapter.
(b) FFP in State CHIP expenditures. Disallowances of FFP in State CHIP expenditures (mandatory grants) are subject to Departmental reconsideration by the Departmental Appeals Board (the Board) in accordance with procedures set forth in 45 CFR part 16.
(c) Discretionary grants disputes. Determinations listed in 45 CFR part 16, appendix A, pertaining to discretionary grants, such as grants for special demonstration projects under Section 1115 of the Act, that may be awarded to an CHIP agency, are subject to reconsideration by the Departmental Grant Appeals Board.
(a) Right to judicial review. Any State dissatisfied with the Administrator's final determination on approvability of plan material (§ 457.203) or compliance with Federal requirements (§ 457.204) has a right to judicial review.
(b) Petition for review. (1) The State must file a petition for review with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the State is located, within 60 days after it is notified of the determination.
(2) After the clerk of the court files a copy of the petition with the Administrator, the Administrator files in the court the record of the proceedings on which the determination was based.
(c) Court action. (1) The court is bound by the Administrator's findings of fact, if they are supported by substantial evidence.
(2) The court has jurisdiction to affirm the Administrator's decision, to set it aside in whole or in part, or, for good cause, to remand the case for additional evidence.
(d) Response to remand. (1) If the court remands the case, the Administrator may make new or modified findings of fact and may modify his or her previous determination.
(2) The Administrator certifies to the court the transcript and record of the further proceedings.
(e) Review by the Supreme Court. The judgment of the appeals court is subject to review by the U.S. Supreme Court upon certiorari or certification, as provided in 28 U.S.C. 1254.
[65 FR 33622, May 24, 2000, as amended at 66 FR 2674, Jan. 11, 2001]
(a) Purpose. This section provides rules to ensure that States refund the Federal portion of uncashed or canceled (voided) checks under title XXI.
(b) Definitions. As used in this section -
Canceled (voided) check means an CHIP check issued by a State or fiscal agent that prior to its being cashed is canceled (voided) by the State or fiscal agent, thus preventing disbursement of funds.
Fiscal agent means an entity that processes or pays vendor claims for the CHIP agency.
Uncashed check means an CHIP check issued by a State or fiscal agent that has not been cashed by the payee.
Warrant means an order by which the CHIP agency or local agency without the authority to issue checks recognizes a claim. Presentation of a warrant by the payee to a State officer with authority to issue checks will result in release of funds due.
(c) Refund of Federal financial participation (FFP) for uncashed checks - (1) General provisions. If a check remains uncashed beyond a period of 180 days from the date it was issued; that is, the date of the check, it is no longer regarded as an allowable program expenditure. If the State has claimed and received FFP for the amount of the uncashed check, it must refund the amount of FFP received.
(2) Report of refund. At the end of each calendar quarter, the State agency must identify those checks that remain uncashed beyond a period of 180 days after issuance. The CHIP agency must refund all FFP that it received for uncashed checks by adjusting the Quarterly Statement of Expenditures for that quarter. If an uncashed check is cashed after the refund is made, the State may file a claim. The claim will be considered to be an adjustment to the costs for the quarter in which the check was originally claimed. This claim will be paid if otherwise allowed by the Act and the regulations issued in accordance with the Act.
(3) If the State does not refund the appropriate amount as specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the amount will be disallowed.
(d) Refund of FFP for canceled (voided) checks - (1) General provisions. If the State has claimed and received FFP for the amount of a canceled (voided) check, it must refund the amount of FFP received.
(2) Report of refund. At the end of each calendar quarter, the CHIP agency must identify those checks that were canceled (voided). The State must refund all FFP that it received for canceled (voided) checks by adjusting the Quarterly Statement of Expenditures for that quarter.
(3) If the State does not refund the appropriate amount as specified in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the amount will be disallowed.
(a) Public funds may be considered as the State's share in claiming FFP if they meet the conditions specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(b) The public funds are appropriated directly to the State or local CHIP agency, or are transferred from other public agencies (including Indian tribes) to the State or local agency and are under its administrative control, or are certified by the contributing public agency as representing expenditures eligible for FFP under this section.
(c) The public funds are not Federal funds, or are Federal funds authorized by Federal law to be used to match other Federal funds.
[75 FR 73976, Nov. 30, 2010]
Claims for Federal financial participation in the cost of equipment under CHIP are determined in accordance with subpart G of 45 CFR part 95. Requirements concerning the management and disposition of equipment under CHIP are also prescribed in subpart G of 45 CFR part 95.
(a) No FFP is available for the following amounts, even when related to services or benefit coverage which is or could be provided under a State CHIP program -
(1) Any cost sharing amounts that beneficiaries should have paid as enrollment fees, premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or similar charges.
(2) Any amounts paid by the agency for health benefits coverage or services furnished to individuals who would not be eligible for that coverage or those services under the approved State child health plan, whether or not the individual paid any required premium or enrollment fee.
(b) The amount of expenditures under the State child health plan must be reduced by the amount of any premiums and other cost-sharing received by the State.
A State plan must provide that the CHIP agency and, where applicable, local agencies administering the plan will -
(a) Maintain an accounting system and supporting fiscal records to assure that claims for Federal funds are in accord with applicable Federal requirements;
(b) Retain records for 3 years from date of submission of a final expenditure report;
(c) Retain records beyond the 3-year period if audit findings have not been resolved; and
(d) Retain records for nonexpendable property acquired under a Federal grant for 3 years from the date of final disposition of that property.
A State plan must provide that the single or appropriate CHIP Agency will have an approved cost allocation plan on file with the Department in accordance with the requirements contained in subpart E of 45 CFR part 95. Subpart E also sets forth the effect on FFP if the requirements contained in that subpart are not met.
FFP is available for State ADP expenditures for the design, development, or installation of mechanized claims processing and information retrieval systems and for the operation of certain systems. Additional HHS regulations and CMS procedures regarding the availability of FFP for ADP expenditures are in 45 CFR part 75, 45 CFR part 95, subpart F, and part 11, State Medicaid Manual.
(a) Quarterly Federal payments to the States under title XXI (CHIP) of the Act are to be reduced or increased to make adjustment for prior overpayments or underpayments that the Secretary determines have been made.
(b) The Secretary will consider the pro rata Federal share of the net amount recovered by a State during any quarter to be an overpayment.
(c) Allegations or indications of waste fraud and abuse with respect to the CHIP program shall be referred promptly to the Office of Inspector General.
The CHIP agency must assure appropriate audit of records on costs of provider services.
The CHIP agency must maintain documentation of payment rates and make it available to HHS upon request.

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure feels perceptions around the club are changing.
The Frenchman signed in the summer from Watford.
He told evertonfc.com: "Previously, maybe people thought, 'There is a top six, with Everton just behind'.
"But now Everton is in the top six, it is a top club in the league.
"It is signing top, top players like James and Allan and they have come here to achieve something.
"Everton are growing up.
"We have a strong squad with players in great form and we are competing with the biggest teams."
