Catastrophic workman's comp claims are especially challenging to manage. Care of injured workers is often fragmented, with multiple providers and no holistic, long-term plan of care. Without centralized management, optimal care and quality of life cannot be achieved, leaving health to deteriorate and costs to creep to alarming levels. Fortunately, there are ways to proactively and successfully manage catastrophic claims.
How Can You Pave the Way to Effective Catastrophic Claims Management?
Understand the scope of the problem.
Safeguarding patient well-being while controlling costs is possible. Whether in-house or through a third-party provider. Develop a collaborative, team approach to provide ongoing coordination of services from primary care to equipment, drug utilization, home care and support.
Notify your catastrophic claims team while the injured worker is still in the hospital to ensure a smoother progression from hospital to home care, especially in the event medical equipment such as a wheelchair is necessary.
Don't overlook the big picture.
Comprehensive evaluation(s) of long-term needs are key to a successful transition. An in-depth evaluation of injuries, comorbidities, home and family situations, and injured worker feedback can head-off unexpected and costly complications.

Did the world become more equal after the financial crisis?
While the middle classes of the developing world continued to close the gap with the West, the ultra-rich across the globe saw a significant slowdown in income growth — particularly in the US and Germany. Contrary to hundreds of articles and books, the world became a more equal place in the aftermath of Great Recession.
By Bloomberg | Posted by Shivani Kumar
UPDATED ON JUL 10, 2020 01:03 PM IST
The "elephant chart" has been the most influential graph of the past decade in economics.
It showed that in the 20 years before the financial crisis, global income growth largely benefitted two groups of people: the middle classes of emerging markets, such as China, and the ultra-rich around the world. Meanwhile, the middle and lower classes of Western Europe and North America saw their incomes stagnate.
This work — produced in 2013 by economists Christoph Lakner and Branko Milanovic using World Bank and other data — incensed the left around the world, sparking a debate over income inequality and the failures of capitalism and globalization. The dramatic rise in earnings of the top 1%, seen from 1988 to 2008, has since been blamed for the return of populism and protectionism and resulted in calls for radical policies such as sweeping wealth taxes.
A new paper from one of the authors of what's become known as the "elephant chart" suggests that things changed in the years immediately following the financial crisis. Milanovic, an economist at The Graduate Center at the City University of New York, has now looked at changes in income distribution from 2008 to 2013. His main finding is that global income inequality actually declined during this period.
Milanovic has assembled a gargantuan dataset of household surveys, covering more than 130 countries in the world and around 95% of the world population. The breadth of the data helps explain why his work stops in 2013: Not all countries have statistical offices able to assemble more recent information on the incomes and consumption patterns of individual families.
Analyzing changes in the income distribution, the author finds that global disparities plummeted after 2008. The world's Gini coefficient, a measure of inequality, fell from 66.4 to 61.6 in just five years, when taking into account differences in purchasing power across countries — a significant drop.
The main driver of this convergence was a steep fall in inequality between richer and poorer countries: In particular, Asia's economies powered ahead as Europe and the US stagnated, narrowing the gap between the Asian and Western middle classes. The median income in Asia rose by 76% between 2008 and 2013. In Western Europe, North America and Oceania, there was a mere 6% gain. And these figures are taking into account the differing costs of living.
This trend of declining global inequality was already visible in the pre-2008 world. Yet, rather than celebrating the improvements in the lives of millions of Asians, left-leaning politicians and academics in Europe and the US preferred to focus on the right-hand tail of the distribution — the "trunk" of the "elephant" — which showed that the very rich had done much better than the Western middle classes.
According to Milanovic's latest data, the trunk, and therefore the elephant, may be no more. Taking into account global purchasing power differences, the top 1% of earners saw the lowest increase in income per capita between 2008 and 2013: a mere 6%. Conversely, those around the top 90th percentile in terms of income — which includes much of the European and North American lower and middle classes — saw gains of about 15%. Those around the middle of the global distribution saw income gains of about 60% over the same period.
When the author redrew his curves without adjusting for purchasing power, and correcting for how the rich may under-report their incomes, he saw a slightly higher growth rate of income of the top 1%, but it still remained relatively small. In all analyses, the proportion of global income going to the ultra-rich fell between 2008 and 2013.
The other striking result relates to inequality within individual countries. In theory, it is possible that while global inequality fell, individual countries became more unequal. But this was not generally the case. Milanovic finds that the overall Gini coefficient remained broadly stable between 2008 and 2013 in around 60% of the countries in his sample, while the remaining 40% were split between those that saw a decrease in inequality and those that saw it rise.
Maybe the top 1% in each country still did well compared with everyone else? The data here were mixed too. In India, the years after the Great Recession favored the super-rich, who saw the biggest gains in income. Conversely, in the US, they were the worst-off: While most of the population saw their incomes rise by 5% over this period, the top earners saw a reduction of about 5% — though obviously from a much higher base.
Of course, we don't have the data to know what has happened since 2013, and we probably won't for some time. The original "elephant curve" has also been subject to methodological critiques — one being that its results were too dependent on the different rates of population growth around the world. The same problems could apply to Milanovic's new study.
The current paper also does not look at wealth inequality, which some consider a more important measure of economic disparities though it's much harder to study. And one can still argue that although inequality overall has declined, it remains far too high and requires radical solutions.
Yet, Milanovic's new findings deserve the same kind of attention as his old ones. The narrative around the global financial crisis and the rise of the top 1% will require some rewriting.

This Viral Bakery-on-Wheels Is in Search of a Forever Home
Written by Sarah HoltzPublished Jan. 22, 2023 • 10:00am

Juan Carlos Soto has been selling pan dulce, empanadas and other baked goods for more than 25 years, but last year, Zeledon's Bakery on Wheels went viral on TikTok and things have never been the same—in the sweetest possible way, that is.
"Ever since we went viral, our sales went crazy," he said. "We're getting phone calls from China, Mexico—you name it."
Zeledon's Bakery on Wheels is a partnership between Soto and his nephew, Ernesto Botello. Their panaderia has grown a ride-or-die following in the San Jose area. Now, they're planning to put down roots in a permanent location.
These days, finding the pan dulce van is not unlike a treasure hunt. Some customers simply track Zeledon's Instagram stories, where Botello posts the intersections and parking lots where they're planning to park. Others rise to the bugle call of "La Cucaracha"—Soto and Botello blast the song out of the van's speakers, much like an ice cream truck or produce cart would. They don't usually stay in any one location for longer than an hour, so it can be a hustle to get your fix.
"I always try to hit up all the spots where it's hot and eventually that fire burns out," Botello told The Standard. "So I'm always on the move."
This feeling of sweet spontaneity inspired a series of TikToks where customers sprint to reach the bakery on wheels. In other videos, customers pick out their favorite treat from the back of the van, which is packed to the gills with Mexican sweet breads, elote, tamales, empanadas, donuts and muffins.
After a few of these TikToks went viral last summer, Soto and Botello received calls from The Today Show, NBC Bay Area and Telemundo Área de la Bahía, making three TV appearances within a monthlong period.
Now, Soto and Botello plan to open a forever home—not in San Jose, but in Los Banos, a town in the San Joaquin Valley, southwest of Merced. Once they open that brick-and-mortar panaderia, Soto plans to focus on that business and leave the nomadic bakery to his nephew, who will hopefully add more roving trucks to the fleet.
Though Soto hasn't set a date or exact location yet, he said he's looking forward to reaching as many customers across California as possible.
"People love it, and we love to see them smile," he said.

Peter Hook & The Light premiere unheard version of Love Will Tear Us Apart

Ex-Joy Division bassist Peter Hook is premiering an unheard version of Love Will Tear Us Apart exclusively on TeamRock.
It was over 40 years ago that Peter Hook first started creating music as one quarter of Joy Division. Together with frontman Ian Curtis, guitarist-cum-keyboardist Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris, the band created a sound which would define the emerging post-punk movement.
Curtis' untimely death in 1980 signalled the end for Joy Division, the band having previously agreed that if any one member ever left, the band would call it quits. The remaining members, still keen to create music together, went on to form the equally-influential New Order, where the freedom of a fresh start allowed them to merge their indie chops with the sounds coming from the UK's flourishing club scene.
Hook's relationship with New Order ultimately came to an end in the heat of a fractious row with Sumner, but the music they created together is something which still gives him great pride. Keen to celebrate his work with both bands, Hook has recently revisited highlights from both bands' back catalogues, under the name Peter Hook & The Light, for a series of live dates and albums.
This exclusive version of Love Will Tear Us Apart is taken from Power, Corruption And Lies – Live At Dublin Academy, released on May 5th, and you can stream the track in full below.
The dates proved popular enough that Hook and his band have been convinced to plan a comprehensive tour for this this winter. Kicking off in Ireland, the tour will culminate in a "special" show at Camden's Roundhouse, where they'll be playing Closer and Unknown Pleasures in full, along with a support set of New Order material. You can check out the full dates below.

Back in March I had the opportunity to work on a project for Microsoft that is now coming to light. I was tasked with writing a PHP wrapper for the Bing API that Microsoft has been building. I've written API wrappers before and it is either a fun experience or it is a nightmare, depending on whether the API is easy to work with. I am pleased to report that the Bing Search API is well thought out and very easy to work with. For PHP developers, I am hoping that what I am about to show you makes it even easier.
Ok, if you don't care for the rambling, here is everything you need to get going.
The API Docs You will need an MSDN login to access the docs.
Grab the code and put it somewhere in your include path.
If it works, you should see something that looks like this.
That is a simple example that will get you going and allow you to play with the code. Of course you have to get your API key first. Lines 13, 16, and 18 above are the ones you are going to want to play with. 13 being an API key; without that it won't work. 16 is the search term, I know I have a couple of Zend Framework related posts on my blog so I used that. Line 18 is the domain limit. I only want to search for Zend Framerwork on my blog. Tinker with those a while and see what results you come up with.
Oh, you may have notices the autoLoader from lines 6-11. Feel free to remove that if you like but you will have to add in all the requires for the classes, subclasses and Exceptions. If you put the library in your path, the auto-loader will take care of making sure you have access to them all.
The Bing API is very straightforward and most importantly, consistent in design. These two facts make it very easy to work with. Actually, there are several options that my wrapper doesn't yet implement, For this first version, I stuck with the basic Search API but they have separate sub-APIs for Phonebook, News, Translation and others. I hope that future version of this wrapper will implement those.
There are 37 methods in the wrapper and the vast majority of those are housekeeping methods like getters and setters. The heart of the wrapper is the search() method.
As you can see, we check to make sure we have a appId and throw an exception if we don't. Then, if you've not set which sources to check (web,image,spell are currently implemented) we set a default of web.
We then build the URL, call the URL and either return the results back to you for processing or throw an exception because something went wrong.
That's really all there is to using it. You can play around with the different options like setting 'spell' as a source.

I'd love to use this, but can't even log in to get an API key or sign up for a developer account. Instead it continually loops back to the redirect page. My Live Id login works just fine on live.com (in fact if I go there I'm already logged in) but not on Bing, on any browser, whether I accept all cookies or not. So it might be a super API but if Microsoft can't get a simple Passport login working after all these years I can't have much confidence in any API they produce in the long term.
Strange. You are correct. I have alerted my friends at Microsoft to see what can be done to fix it.
Straight forward and relatively easy to set up thanks to the Code Library and your instructions Is the search restricted to 50 and is it possible to paginate the results.

Q: Emitting Server Sent Events about a resource update in Spring Boot application I am new to Server-Sent events. I am working with a Spring Boot application with a front-end in React.
Here, we have a requirement, if, at the same time, more than one user opens a resource in UI, then the app needs to notify all these users in case, one of them is updating the same resource.
In this regard, I was searching for a relevant article in order to integrate Server-Sent Event with my Spring Boot application, I found: https://betterprogramming.pub/server-sent-events-on-react-and-spring-webflux-5f532b04633.
From this, what I understood is that, I have to add web flux dependency to the existing Spring Boot application and expose an endpoint for emitting the event.
But in my app, an update of the resource is being done with end-point: /api/resource1 and events are going to be emitted from the app with another end-point: /api/end-point-2 as follows:
The main resource endpoint responsible for updating the object is as follows:
 @RestController
    public class ResourceController {

        @CrossOrigin(allowedHeaders = "*")
        @GetMapping(value = "/api/resource1/")
        public MyObj updateMyObj(MyObj myObj) {
           ...
           return myRepository.save(myObj);
        }
    }

Other end-point responsible for emitting the event is going to be as follows:
@RestController
public class ResourceController { //THIS IS GOING TO NOTIFY THE CLIENTS AT 1 SEC INTERVAL

    @CrossOrigin(allowedHeaders = "*")
    @GetMapping(value = "/api/end-point-2/", produces = MediaType.TEXT_EVENT_STREAM_VALUE)
    public Flux<MyObj> getMyObj() {

        return Flux.interval(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
                .map(it ->  <NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHOULD I WRITE HERE>);

    }
}

Here, I am not able to understand, how an update in first end point will get communicated to the second end point in order to notify the clients.
Could anyone please help here ? Thanks.

A: I am facing quite similar problem. It seems like FluxSink might be helpful to store emitted events.
Then you could use ApplicationEventPublisher to publish saved entity or just proper info: MyObjSavedEvent.
On the other hand this solution needs more changes in architecture structure and it seems like really well suitable for CQRS and event sourcing approach where we store events in event store.
I am still researching possible solutions. Gonna let you know if I come across something useful.

Kitchen storage, and in particular, pantry storage, can be a thing of beauty that helps you organise your space to make it feel bigger and neater. But you needn't have a walk-in pantry to benefit from these storage solutions – even a pull-out larder or clever cupboard inserts, in other words, small kitchen storage ideas, can help you get your space super organised.
Tired of opening your pantry door only to be met with a shower of oats? Rather than cramming in hundreds of bags, boxes and half empty packets, keep dry ingredients like flour, pasta, pulses and cereals in clear, storage jars. Use tape, or get fancy with a label maker, and name each container so you know exactly what's in each. Remember to also write on the expiration date.
These jars are from jars from Ikea.
We've said it before and we will say it again, don't forget to put the back of your kitchen (or pantry) door to good use. This space is easy access, so store things like smaller snacks or frequently used spices – you can just grab them and go without have to wrestle with a mountain of tins.
Pantries: the place where tins and jars go to die. Bite the bullet and have a sort out of all of all your cans, spreads, tins and condiments. Anything with a label that resembles 'Sarah's Christmas Chutney 2009', get rid. Store what's left of your cull in drawers or a tin dispenser so you can always see clearly what you've got to work with.
If the shelves in your pantry cupboard or larder have large gaps between them, use shelf inserts to create extra levels and practically double the space you have. A clip on basket can also maximise space.
Shelf insert from Ikea. Find similar basket at John Lewis.
If you are blessed with a walk in larder, even if it's just a small narrow space, investing in some open adjustable shelving makes sense. You can clearly see where everything is stored and everything is easily accessible.
This system from String has a mix of both open and closed storage, ideal for storing food that may need to be kept in lower light.
To further prevent the previously mentioned oat avalanche, keep items you use most often in baskets, that you can pull out. Separate your foods into categories and label each basket so you can just grab it and stick it on the table. Gluten free food; breakfast items; posh snacks reserved for book club only: you get the idea.
Make using paprika instead of cinnamon a thing of the past by getting your spices in order. There are plenty of storage options out there. Expandable spice racks, spinning spice racks, pull down spice racks, the list goes on.
Alternatively, you can even build spice racks into your pantry doors, as can be seen in this Burbidge kitchen.
Ah peg boards. Where would we be without you? Even a small piece of pegboard solves many a kitchen storage problem.
Kreisdesign have loads of add ons for their pegboards, you can use them to store spices and small jars, or add on some pegs for keeping shopping lists and recipes. Genius.
If you have a smaller pantry or you just want to keep all your frequently used items accessible, use a cart as extra storage. That way you can just roll out your most used ingredients when you need them. We reckon this idea would work perfectly for baking supplies – last minute Victoria sponge to make? Just roll out the ingredients without having to waste time battling the contents of your larder.
Pantry storage sorted? Get it organised even further by using some chalkboard paint to turn your pantry door into your shopping list, or paint separate panels and label them to match what's on the corresponding shelves. Doors in Oxford Gray chalkboard paint, Benjamin Moore.

Construction Meets Coronavirus: A New Normal in Post-Pandemic Building
The coronavirus has caused tremendous upheaval to the architecture and construction industries. Richard Hyams, founder and director of astudio, discusses the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead
Ben Channon
All sectors of the UK economy have been deeply impacted by Covid-19 and the construction industry is among the most seriously affected.
The IHS/ Cips index for UK construction dropped from 39.3 in March to 8.2 at the height of the pandemic, the lowest measure since the index began in 1997, whilst social distancing and broader distribution prompted approximately 4,800 sites (estimated by Barbour ABI as equivalent to half of the live UK construction projects) to down tools.
Simultaneously, Covid-19 has shown just how crucial the sector is to economic output and how important it will be to Britain's recovery. Yet, to adapt in the wake of pandemic and beyond, the industry will have to embrace new technologies to drive efficiency, ensure safety and power greater sustainability for Britain's future buildings.
Covid-19 accelerates digital innovation
Few among us working remotely during lockdown have coped without the support of digital platforms and tools, which have allowed us to continue to collaborate and communicate with our colleagues and clients. So, it should come as no surprise that design and construction have been no exception.
In fact, amidst the disruption of the coronavirus pandemic, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become increasingly crucial to collaboration, project transparency and productivity.
Largely developed alongside the gaming industry, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality software are making once paper-based processes more accessible and sophisticated than ever before for the design team, clients and contractors. For example, virtual reality seen through headsets and even our mobile phones, enables users to feel the parameters of spaces and realistically experience it, before the foundations have even been laid.
" These tools are an opportunity to capture large quantities of ideas and information, taking into account both measurements and technicalities, as well as the full context of a project, in detailed and experiential ways. "
For architectural visualisation, these tools are an opportunity to capture large quantities of ideas and information, taking into account both measurements and technicalities, as well as the full context of a project, in detailed and experiential ways.
These capabilities can make a crucial difference at all stages of a project. As a design tool this technology contributes to accelerating workflows and providing opportunities to incorporate sustainability.
For instance, natural day lighting can be assessed, providing insight into the environmental qualities of a design in situ and enable us as designers to respond in adapting design accordingly to maximise sustainable benefits. This can help to manage projects against budget and design specifications, as well as delivering a more comprehensive insight into its environmental impacts.
Safety first in the age of social distancing
While these innovations were being adopted in advance of Covid-19, the role that such technology can play in an age of social distancing will be all the more critical. On construction sites, where health and safety precautions must be maintained, this is only set to increase.
For example, augmented reality headsets that overlay construction plans and design information can aid efficiency and workflow, without teams crowding onsite. Another example is the adoption of wristbands that vibrate when too close to others, which are already emerging as tools to help construction teams to maintain social distancing.
Emerging technologies such as heat or motion sensors and movement tracking apps can also monitor density on sites to support safe distancing in the immediate term.
" With social distancing remaining in place for an indeterminate period, even at a reduced 'one meter plus', there is a clear need to examine alternative methods of construction. "
While such capabilities go some way to addressing safety challenges, conventional construction methods have been difficult to sustain while social distancing. Estimates from the Construction Products Association have suggested that, as the number of people onsite declined, productivity has additional fallen by around 30 to 40%.
With social distancing remaining in place for an indeterminate period, even at a reduced 'one meter plus', there is a clear need to examine alternative methods of construction.
Modern Methods of Construction can play an important role in this. Offsite construction can allow projects to more easily and safely continue in a period of social distancing, which can be far more easily maintained in a highly controlled factory environment. With smaller teams onsite for shorter periods of time, projects can be delivered with greatly diminished risk to staff.
A watershed moment for sustainability
As the construction industry adapts to these changes and new capabilities, it's becoming increasingly obvious that Covid-19 could also prove to be a watershed moment for sustainability in the construction industry.
In fact, MMC is just one example of a method that is accelerating this shift, with increasing recognition that offsite construction can help to eradicate the cost and efficiency challenges associated with traditional methods.
Adaptive reuse, such as the recent conversion of a 19th century gas holder into a public park in Kings Cross, London, or the conversation of warehouses across global cities into residential, community and performance spaces, is just one further way of improving carbon efficient practice across the industry, protecting historically-significant design and delivering projects more quickly by adapting existing structures.
" It's becoming increasingly obvious that Covid-19 could also prove to be a watershed moment for sustainability in the construction industry. "
For instance, 70 Wilson, a recent project by astudio, saw a 1980s office block refurbished and extended to create a highly efficient, future-proof building with BREEAM Excellent rating based on low carbon standards.
An adaptive approach to reusing existing buildings can play a huge role in improving the sustainability not only of the construction industry, but also in reducing the 40% of UK emissions currently generated by our built environment.
Innovative solutions, such as re-skinning buildings with algae compounds that absorb carbon emissions and can also produce biofuels, which could play a crucial role in improving the environmental impact of existing structures.
Taking opportunities to innovate
The construction industry will be crucial in our economic recovery, with significant infrastructure investment on the horizon and Covid-19 demonstrating the critical role that technology, and new methods of construction can play in delivering vital projects at pace.
But with significant disruption to the sector, the need to rethink processes to best prioritise sustainability and safety is clear. Construction will move past the coronavirus pandemic. But to do so successfully, it will need to incorporate new technology solutions that prioritise people and sustainability.

McKillip Said He Intervened to Lessen Negative Impact of Redistricting on Oconee County
Now Happy With Outcome.
Oconee County residents unhappy with the partition of the county in house redistricting last month should appreciate that it could have been a lot worse, Rep. Doug McKillip and Rep. Chuck Williams said Thursday night.
The "guys in the map office" wanted to split the county in half, McKillip told those who gathered at the Oconee County Republican meeting at the Civic Center in Watkinsville, but McKillip said he advised against it.
Instead of being split in half, three northern precincts–Athens Academy, Malcom Bridge and Bogart--were split off from Oconee County and given to a new district that will be served by McKillip, should he be reelected in 2012.
The remainder of the county was made a minority part of a new district with Clarke County. That new district, the successor to the current 113th District, will be where Williams will have to complete in 2012, if he decides to seek reelection. He has told me he intends to do so.
At present, all of Oconee County is in the 113th House District.
McKillip told the approximately 20 people who attended the meeting that he would have been pleased to have more than the three Oconee County precincts he got in the new 117th but "I couldn't be any happier than to have the three precincts I do."
McKillip said the new district 117 will be a benefit to the area because it will foster regionalism.
"Athens drags the whole region down sometimes when you look at economic development and the reputation that it has," he said. "The (House) leadership wanted to say that this is a region that needs to develop together as a region. We need some inter-connectivity, some more between Clarke and Oconee County and the whole region."
What McKillip did not say was that the new district will be strongly Republican and give him a better chance of being reelected.
McKillip was elected in 2010 in the current 115th, which is heavily Democratic. McKillip ran as a Democrat and then switched to the Republic Party before the legislature met in January of this year.
He spent a lot of time at the meeting last week attacking members of his former party for their approach to redistricting in 2000 and praising his new party for its appproach.
Williams said he also saw the map splitting Oconee County in two "a few days before I was sworn in," but he wasn't even sure he was supposed to know about it. Williams was elected in a special election in June with a runoff in July, so most of what happened in redistricting happened without him.
Williams said he knew that people in the county wanted to keep the county whole, "but that really wasn't in the cards...It just wasn't meant to be."
He also said people asked him why he voted for the maps given what had happened to the county.
He said he had been in office for all of two weeks when the legislature convened, and he had to ask whether the maps were fair, constitution and sensible.
"You don't always vote Yay or Nay based on whether you like something," he said. "I voted for the maps and we will work with it."
Sen. Bill Cowsert led off the presentation, and he began by acknowledging and distancing himself from the split of Oconee County to create the new house districts.
"I know some folks in Oconee County were not happy with the House district being divided," he said. "We have a gentleman's agreement between the House and Senate, that the House does their maps and the Senate does its maps, and there is no interference from one body to the other."
So Williams said he stayed out of the controversy.
He did remind the audience that Oconee County remains whole in the 46th District, which he represents.
No one mentioned this at the meeting, but on the day it was held, Mark Rountree from Landmark Communications, a prominent Republican consulting firm located in Duluth, released a list of the "Ten Most Vulnerable Republican Districts in Georgia."
Rountree rated the new 117th, in which McKillip lives, and the new 119th, in which Willliams lives, as number 4 and 5 respectively among Republican-held districts as most vulnerable to a Democratic victory.
Rountree said he analyzed past voting patterns and said that Democrats could get 58 percent of the vote in the 117th and 56 percent in the 119th, under what he called Democratic "ideal" conditions.
At present, the Republican party is deciding whether to get clearance from either the U.S. Department of Justice or a federal court for the maps, which must be reviewed under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.
According to a memo sent me by Meg Robinson, chief of staff for Sen. Jason Carter, Democrat of Decatur, the party is expecting lawsuits will be filed to challenge the maps regardless of what strategy is used and whether approval is granted.

Turnout in State College: Voters Anticipate Record-Breaking Numbers
Story posted November 4, 2020 in News, CommRadio by Jack McCune
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Pennsylvania is yet again an important battleground state that could determine the fate of the presidential election, and while Penn State students could make a big difference in the commonwealth, adults in State College and nearby municipalities also have a big say.
Democrat Hillary Clinton won Centre County in the 2016 election by less than 2,000 votes, but Happy Valley wasn't enough to win the swing state, and Trump's 35,000 ballots in the county was the most by any republican candidate in the past five general elections. No matter which candidate State College votes for, their vote could change the entire election.
Most adult voters are confident that ballots have multiplied this time around, and that the percentage eligible who vote will be much higher than the 59% nationwide number four years ago.
Thirty-five-year-old Stephen Quigley of State College credits the flexibility of this year's voting options. He planned to vote in person Tuesday morning, but the line was so long that he had to go back later so he wouldn't be late to work. He thinks the extensive in-person turnout, in combination with the 31,000 State College residents who voted by mail, shows that ballot numbers should increase.
"People are showing up to the polls, and others already voted," Quigley said. "I think people care more about this election than in previous years."
Downtown State College was still full of supporters of both parties despite Election Day meaning less overall. Centre County resident Nathaniel Rascusin didn't expect the day to have as much buzz and liveliness as it did.
"I sent in my ballot weeks ago, but it was fun walking around campus seeing all the supporters and voters," Rascusin said. "I predicted most people would've already voted."

Let us say that you have suddenly realized that you have a great idea for an app. You have experienced the right moment while you were taking a shower. It may have occurred when you were looking for an app from the store and you did not find what you are searching for. Inspiration may come from anywhere so you have to be prepared at all times.
If this is the very first time that you are going to create an application, it is normal that you are going to feel a bit overwhelmed. You do not know where you are going to begin just yet. Do not worry because there are some steps that you can take in order to build your first app now.
Having the best idea that you have had in a while is going to be your first step when you want to create the right app. Decide what your main purpose is going to be. The clearer your main goal is, the better that you would feel.
You have to understand that the interface is important. This will let you know if the app would be easy to use or not. While visualizing the appearance of the app, you can also decide what features you are going to place there. The right layout and structure will always make your app more appealing to a lot of people.
This is one of the mistakes that people make. People assume that research is unnecessary but you should not think this way. You need to look for apps that are similar to the one that you are creating. You can continue to become more inspired with the design that you will use on your application. Learn more about your target market so you can decide how you can earn more from your app.
There are some applications that you can use that will allow you to create a prototype of your app. This will give you an idea about how your app would look like. This can be a fun experience for you and you can make some changes if you do not like how your app looks like.
You now have a storyboard and you already have an idea of how your app is going to look like. It is best that you do some modifications if the changes are necessary. The things that you will do at this point will also be very helpful to the developer so that the developer will understand what you want better.
It does not have to be just you. You can also ask your family members and friends to test it. Be open to potential criticisms and take note of the changes that they may want to see. These details will allow you to create an app that can be appreciated by more people.
What if you have already released your application and there are some areas that are not thoroughly checked? This will be enough to turn off a lot of potential downloaders. Check this first to be sure with what you will get.
Now that you have checked everything, you have finalized the design of the app and so much more, you can release the app to the public. The hard work that you have put into the app may pay off. Some apps take time before they get the recognition that they deserve.
It can be fun to build your first app as long as you would follow the steps above.

Cooperation between Latam's Pacific Alliance and the Arab GCC opens the door to global startup expansion
Alejandro González Ormerod
Contxto – Regional development funds are all the rage. As one of the more open and forward-looking multi-country groupings around, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that the Pacific Alliance's Angel Ventures is on the warpath to both stimulate startups in its member States and stimulate accords with other regions around the world.
This was exactly what happened this week when the Angel Ventures Pacific Alliance Fund II made its way to the Saudi capital of Riyadh to sign an agreement with Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) to promote early-stage entrepreneurship in both blocs.
In this case, the Pacific Alliance was dealing with its Arab counterpart in the form of The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC). By signing this accord, the alliance of Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Colombia becomes the first Latin American regional bloc to venture into this part of the world.
The agreement struck greases the wheels of international commerce on both ends. The deal will now facilitate bilateral investment to and from both regions. Also, special attention will be placed with an eye to accelerate procedures to open offices in allied countries.
Relocating venture capital
The Deal Makers Conference was the site at which the deal took place. The event was organized by Argentina's very own Endeavor—a network facilitating startups, investors, and accelerators to get together—. It is pleasant to see Latin American institutions of all sorts venturing out into the world to make their mark and attract more investment from other, less expected places.
Of course, these are only unexpected places for some; to Hernán Fernández—Founder and Managing Partner of Angel Ventures—the decision to head to the Gulf was a pretty obvious move for a fund born of the Pacific Alliance. He reflected that:
"This agreement allows us to continue working on diversifying our base of investors and markets towards which our companies can expand. We are seeing an important trend where South-South investment is taking center stage, so that Latin America, the Middle East/North Africa, and Southeast Asia share verticals between markets, and hence the opportunity to become regional and subsequently global leaders in comparable markets."
And Fernández is not far off the general mark. Indeed, Saudi Arabia has recently caught the world's attention for being a tech hub with strong government backing for innovation—as well as for some less savory stuff…
All this action is indeed a sign of the times. Being outward looking and tech-oriented no longer means being Western-obsessed, but rather, regionally diversified. This is the sort of thing the Pacific Alliance is primed to do. Indeed that's what it was built for.
In the words of Angel Ventures' Managing Partner, it's all about "opening doors to greater internationalization."

Pyongyang : North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said today the second flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile demonstrated his country can hit the US mainland, hours after the launch left analysts concluding that a wide swath of the United States, including Los Angeles and Chicago, is now in range of North Korean weapons.
The Korean Central News Agency said that Kim expressed "great satisfaction" after the Hwasong-14 missile reached a maximum height of 3,725 kilometers and traveled 998 kilometers before accurately landing in waters off Japan.
The agency said that the test was aimed at confirming the maximum range and other technical aspects of the missile it says was capable of delivering a "large-sized, heavy nuclear warhead."
Analysts had estimated that the North's first ICBM on July 4 could have reached Alaska, and said that the latest missile appeared to extend that range significantly.
Immediately after the launch, US and South Korean forces conducted live-fire exercises. South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo called for the deployment of strategic US military assets which usually means stealth bombers and aircraft carriers as well as additional launchers of an advanced US anti-missile system.
Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said the missile, launched late Friday night, flew for about 45 minutes about five minutes longer than the first. The missile was launched on very high trajectory, which limited the distance it traveled, and landed west of Japan's island of Hokkaido.
The KCNA quoted Kim as saying that the launch reaffirmed the reliability of the country's ICBM system and an ability to fire at "random regions and locations at random times" with the "entire" US mainland now within range. The agency said that the test confirmed important features of the missile system, such as the proper separation of the warhead and controlling its movement and detonation after atmospheric re- entry.
Kim said the launch sent a "serious warning" to the United States, which has been "meaninglessly blowing its trumpet" with threats of war and stronger sanctions, the KCNA said. The North Korean flight data was similar to assessments by the United States, South Korea and Japan.
David Wright, a physicist and co-director of the global security program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said that if reports of the missile's maximum altitude and flight time are correct, it would have a theoretical range of at least 10,400 kilometers.
That means it could have reached Los Angeles, Denver or Chicago, depending on variables such as the size and weight of the warhead that would be carried atop such a missile in an actual attack.


Work for RSA Adaptive Authentication?
Learning about RSA Adaptive Authentication?
I like that this program is quick to open and will let you copy the code you need right into wherever you need to put the authentication code.
I dislike that I have to wait for the code to change again sometimes when it is near the end of its usage period. Otherwise, I end up in a scenario where I have try to login again if it takes too long for my computer to process the request.
Good, easy tool to use for greater information security. Fair warning though- it can be very difficult to set up. I know it took several hours on the phone with my company's IT support to get it set up for remote access on my personal computer.
We are keeping our information and sites more secure with the RSA authentication codes.
"Convenient, Secure Internet on the go"
I really have no complaints with the product. It is easy to use and I do not experience any crashing with it.
"Use it to log in remotely"
"RSA has worked well for the company I work for - adds another layer of security "
* We monitor all RSA Adaptive Authentication reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. Validated reviews require the user to submit a screenshot of the product containing their user ID, in order to verify a user is an actual user of the product.
Hi there! Are you looking to implement a solution like RSA Adaptive Authentication?

HandBrake is an open-source, multithreaded video transcoder – it converts digital media from one format to another, compressing the files in the process. With this freeware, movies in your DVD collection can be easily liberated from the confines of the plastic-and-metal prison so that you can enjoy them on your iPhone, iPod, iPad anywhere anytime. However, after installing Windows 10, you may find that Handbrake no longer work friendly, couldn't properly save your edited movies or even won't read or open files. In the meantime, Handbrake seems powerless when ripping encrypted DVD movies or commercial DVDs, leaving you as nervous as a cat on the hot roof. Worse still, this DVD ripper supports only two output formats: MKV and MP4.

CPT-201 is a time-proven coating that provides excellent protection to all metal substrates. It leaves a firm film that provides extreme corrosion protection. The film has extreme resistance to salt water and salt spray, making this coating particularly useful in drilling, marine, industrial and offshore corrosion proofing applications. The film dries transparent. CPT-201 provides optimal long-term corrosion protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals exposed to harsh environments, as it deposits a molecular layer of corrosion inhibitor that creates a durable, long lasting bond. CPT-201 comes in aaersol can format, 5-gal, 55-gal or 278-gal.
Dry-to-touch film properties allow protected metal surfaces to be easily handled.
No surface preparation, as it will adhere to the pre-rusted, oily and dirty surfaces.
A thixotropic liquid; self-healing; resistant to sag, run-off and flow.
Excellent U.V. resistance, providing optimal outdoor protection without cracking or chipping after prolonged exposures to sunlight.
Universal protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys.
The non-conductive film with high resistivity and insulating properties effectively prevents galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
Thermally stable over a broad range of temperatures.
External and internal surfaces of offshore platforms and equipment.
Castings; pumps; valves and compressors; heat exchangers, boilers, turbines and transformers.
Wire rope, cable, wire and chains.
Internal and external surfaces of drill pipe, sucker rods and other tubular products.
Internal and external surfaces of engines, bearings, brake drums and engine components.
Frames, cabs, stampings, castings and plate steel.
Dipping, spraying or brushing are recommended methods of applying - Film thickness of 2 mils to 5 mils. CPT-201 can be applied over pre-rusted or oily surfaces.


For many industrial plants, maintenance strategies and decisions relating to the electric motors in use are among their most critical. Without question, motors are the primary workhorses for many of these plants—driving machinery, pumps, conveyors, and other vital equipment. So when they don't work properly or fail, the impact on regular plant operations can be enormous.
When faced with an ailing or failed motor, plant operators typically consider whether to repair or replace it. According to a 2014 study conducted by Plant Engineering magazine for the Electrical Apparatus and Service Association (EASA), just more than one-half of plants have a policy of automatically replacing failed electric motors below a certain horsepower rating. While that horsepower rating varied depending upon the plant's installed motor population, the average rating was 30 hp.
While such policies address a portion of the motors used at most plants, they do not cover what occurs with those motors. That question was addressed in a more recent research project commissioned by EASA that focused on the disposition of electric motors considered for repair. The research showed that just over three-quarters (79%) were repairable, with the remainder (21%) replaced. Within the repaired electric motor group, mechanical repairs were the most common (49%), compared with electrical rewinds (30%). Further, over the past three years, mechanical repairs are trending higher, while the electrical rewinds are declining.

Report Finds Australia's Wildfire Warning System 'Dangerously Flawed'
A major inquiry into Australia's wildfire disaster earlier this year has found that warning systems are dangerously flawed, and residents in vulnerable areas need better, faster information to escape quick-moving infernos.
In its interim report, the government-appointed commission into the blazes that killed 173 people also said a policy allowing residents to decide for themselves whether to evacuate their homes needs to be changed to encourage more people to leave early.
"We all need to learn from this terrible disaster," Victoria state Premier John Brumby told reporters in Melbourne, "and we need from those learnings to put in place new practices that will make our state safer than it's ever been before."
The fires that ripped across Victoria on Feb. 7 were the deadliest in Australia's history, killing 173 people and destroying more than 2,000 homes. The speed and ferocity of the blazes overwhelmed firefighters and caught many off guard, with some victims complaining they had no notice of the looming danger.
The commission, led by former Victoria Supreme Court Justice Bernard Teague, said warnings during the fires were dangerously inadequate.
"There were a number of weaknesses and failures with Victoria's information and warning systems," the report said."Warnings were often delayed which meant that many people were not warned at all or the amount of time they had to respond to the warnings was much less than it should have been. The warnings that were issued often did not give people a clear understanding of the location and severity of the fire and how they should respond."
Since the fires, the government has approved the creation of a national disaster alert telephone service that will automatically send warnings for a range of disasters to cell phones and landlines. Brumby said the system should be in place by the start of the next wildfire season, which generally begins in November.
"In relation to communication and some of our technology, these didn't work as well as they should have and could have on that day," Brumby acknowledged.
Brumby also said the government has already put in place many of the 51 recommendations the commission listed in its report, such as providing emergency responders with better equipment.
Since the deadly blazes, questions have swirled around the widespread policy of allowing residents in high-risk areas to decide for themselves whether to stay and fight the fires or flee.
The policy recognizes that Australia's wildfire services – made up largely of volunteers – lack the resources to protect every house. Homeowners are therefore allowed to try to protect their property.
But the report found that 113 of the victims died while trying to defend their homes. The commission said the policy fails to emphasize the dangers associated with staying behind, and recommends officials stress that leaving early is the safest option. "For those who choose to stay and defend, the risks should be spelt out more plainly, including the risk of death," the report said.
Among the commission's other suggestions are a push for fire refuges to be established in communities by designating open spaces such as race tracks and parking lots as safer alternatives for residents who find themselves facing an approaching inferno.
"Our focus is on going forward," Country Fire Authority chief Russell Rees told reporters. "It's very clear that those fires exposed weaknesses in some of our systems and technologies and our focus is absolutely committed toward the future."
The commission's final report is not due until July 2010, but the Victorian government requested an interim report so officials can take preventative steps before the next wildfire season. The commission has already called 87 witnesses over 35 days of hearings in one of the largest and most complex disaster investigations ever seen in Australia.
