MotherJones MJ93: The big idea
Managed competition moved to the top of the president's health-care agenda despite broad popular support for a single-payer system. What is it, who's pushing it, and why?
Robert Dreyfuss
A parable: A foundation offers an inventor a grant to build a better mousetrap. But in the fine print of the contract the inventor reads that the final mechanism must incorporate an old-fashioned player piano. So he designs a mousetrap that includes the piano. Of course, the result is bulky and expensive, and it catches few mice.
So goes President Clinton's health-care reform plan.
Imagine that the president of the United States asks you to design a new, national health-care system. Anything goes, he says, except for one thing: you have to include a couple of dozen huge insurance companies in the ultimate proposal.
These insurance companies are the player piano in President Clinton's health-care reform plan.
It's strange that the new administration's proposal, which goes by the name "managed competition," would install insurance companies at the center of America's health-care system, since the industry's record on health-care coverage is not impressive. More than thirty-five million Americans are uninsured and sixty million more are underinsured. Tens of millions are frozen into their jobs in order to retain existing benefits, and many cancer survivors, diabetics, AIDS patients, and others are classified as "uninsurable." Unionized retirees are finding their health benefits unilaterally canceled. And most people are struggling to meet the rising cost of deductibles and co-payments.
One solution to America's crisis is to follow the Canadian example: eliminate the private insurance industry as middleman and create a national health-insurance system funded by the government.
But President Clinton has rejected the Canadian solution. The first mission of the President's Task Force on Health Care Reform, according to a confidential memo by top White House official Ira Magaziner, is "defining the structure for the new American health-care system proposed in the campaign–managed competition within a budget."
According to proponents of managed competition, the system will work like this:
The federal government will define a basic package of health benefits. Large, regional, managed-care corporations, modeled on health maintenance organizations but bigger than most, will then "compete" to offer health-care coverage based on the benefits package. In each state and region, a "Health Insurance Purchasing Cooperative," or HIPC, will centralize insurance purchasing on behalf of employers and individuals, including the uninsured and those currently covered by Medicaid.
The super-HMOs, called Accountable Health Partnerships, will "replace traditional fee-for-service fragmented practice," according to the architects of managed competition. The current system, in which a patient chooses his or her doctor and hospital freely, will come to an end. After an initial phase-in period, virtually everyone will be forced to enroll in one of the new super-HMOs.
These super-HMOs will generally be run by large insurance companies, which will assemble coalitions of hospitals, doctors, and laboratories. In most regions, there will be a range of plans, varying from the "Cadillac"–made up of the area's best hospitals and doctors gathered into one HMO–down to the "Yugo," which will include the area's poorest hospitals and least experienced doctors.
The cost of the cheapest health plan (the "Yugo") in a given region will set the limit above which employers and employees will face steep financial penalties if they opt for better health coverage. This means that most workers, even middle-class ones, will find it very expensive, even prohibitively so, to enroll in a first-class health- care plan. The result will be a multi-tiered health-care system, based on ability to pay.
Furthermore, the only way such a system can cut costs is by cutting back on the amount of health services delivered. Managed competition is based on the theory that America suffers from an overconsumption of health care. Because insurance covers doctor visits and procedures along with hospital stays, the theorists reason, consumers are not cost-conscious. So, to reduce health-care spending, the system is designed to impose direct costs onto consumers–in the form of higher taxes for better health-care plans, along with higher deductibles and co-payments. Unfortunately, raising costs to consumers deters necessary and unnecessary care in equal measure. Facing higher costs, many patients will be unwilling or unable to seek care.
And despite what supporters of managed competition claim, Americans do not go to the doctor too often. In most countries (including Canada) where patients face low out-of-pocket costs, they register more frequent doctor visits and hospital stays–yet spending is much less. What drives the cost of American health care upward are legions of unnecessary tests, diagnostic procedures, and operations, especially on the high-tech end. Consumers do not choose to undergo such procedures; doctors recommend that they do so. To limit waste and unnecessary procedures, the government should establish a watchdog agency to monitor the providers and set a global budget–a limit on total public and private health-care expenditures–to cap spending.
While the Clinton task force is toying with some form of a global budget, their managed competition plan will not in itself reduce spending. So, in an effort to restrain costs, the Clinton plan will probably involve direct price controls on an interim basis, likely including caps on insurance premium increases. But the Congressional Budget Office says that such price controls will be "painful" and will "require consumers to accept some real limits on the quality or quantity of health care."
There is more to the theory of managed competition–but so far it is only a theory. It has never been tried anywhere. Yet official Washington seems ready to risk a $840 billion industry on the hope that it will work.
The people who designed managed competition did so with the explicit, stated intention of preventing national health insurance.
The plan's immediate origins date to the mid-1970s and the "Jackson Hole group," an informal think tank that operated out of the Wyoming home of Dr. Paul Ellwood, a neurologist. Ellwood ran a salon whose participants included Alain Enthoven, a systems analyst generally recognized as the father of managed competition, Lynn Etheredge, a former official of President Reagan's Office of Management and Budget, and representatives from four of the Big Five insurance companies: Prudential, Metropolitan Life, AEtna Life & Casualty, and the Cigna Corporation. The president of the Health Insurance Association of America, the head of the Washington Business Group on Health, executives from large managed-care corporations like U.S. Health Care and Kaiser, and representatives of the American Hospital Association and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association also contributed to the discussion.
According to a 1992 Health Economics article written by Enthoven, Ellwood, and Etheredge, no labor, consumer, or senior groups were included in the Jackson Hole group's deliberations.
The article, which summarized the managed competition theory, minced no words about the authors' intent to rescue the beleaguered insurance industry: "Hyperinflation in U.S. health services without commensurate increases in value is leading critics to demand increasing public intervention . . . and elimination of a multiple-payer, private insurance industry." Without a national commitment to managed competition, they predicted, "the government will be forced to take over health-care financing. . . . At issue is whether this transition [to managed competition] can be achieved quickly enough, and whether it will be sufficient to forestall massive public intervention into the U.S. health-care system."
The "massive public intervention" feared by the Jackson Hole group is a code phrase for what is also known as the "Canadian solution." Since 1971 Canada has had a system under which every citizen is provided full health-care coverage, funded by the federal and provincial governments. Whether Canadians are working or unemployed, and regardless of income, they may seek medical care from the doctor or hospital of their choice. There are no deductibles or co-payments–a Canadian almost never sees a bill from a hospital or doctor.
In the United States, twenty-two cents of every health-care dollar are spent on administrative costs, overhead, and insurance company profits; in Canada, that figure is ten cents. That twelve-cent difference could mean more than $90 billion in savings for the United States, enough to provide coverage for all uninsured Americans and tens of millions who are underinsured.
To ensure Clinton's opposition to a "single-payer" plan, the insurance industry has led an all-out assault on the Canadian system, spreading exaggerated stories about waiting lines, lack of technology, and the like. Many of these stories have found their way into the media and been recycled by politicians opposed to Canadian-style health care. The articles have overlooked the fact that in Canada people live longer, they have a lower rate of infant mortality, and no one is uninsured. Polls consistently show that Canadians are much more satisfied with their health-care system than Americans are with theirs.
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of Clinton's advocacy of managed competition is that pollsters warned him during the campaign that Americans did not favor the idea. According to pollster Celinda Lake, focus groups made up of working Americans found the concept of managed competition to be "laughable." Lake also discovered that "there is a hard core around 33 percent that supports a version of the Canadian system. And the more you tell people about how it works, the higher the support goes."
The single-payer model derives its name from the idea that all health-care bills are paid by a single source, which in our case would be the U.S. government. The federal system, administered by the states, would cover all medically necessary services, including doctor and hospital bills, prescription drugs, long-term care, mental-health and substance-abuse treatment, vision and dental care, and preventive care. Since the system would cover all payments, patients wouldn't have to contend with deductibles and co-payments. And consumers would be free to choose their own doctors and hospitals.
Unlike the British system, under which many doctors work for a government health service, in the proposed U.S. single-payer system (as in Canada) doctors would continue to practice privately on a fee- for-service basis. A single-payer system is not "socialized medicine."
Enormous savings come, first, because the system eliminates the paperwork and administrative waste associated with fifteen hundred insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and countless self-insured corporate plans; and second, because the single-payer agency exercises tremendous control over the market by negotiating the best rates when dealing with hospitals and doctors.
Can the managed-competition juggernaut be stopped? Perhaps. Most likely Congress will struggle with health-care reform well into 1994, and members of Congress are susceptible to public concern. Dozens of grass-roots coalitions for Canadian-style reform are springing up across the country. Powerful groups like the AFL-CIO and the American Association of Retired Persons, which now lean toward managed competition, could be swayed if Clinton's plan runs into trouble. And the media–including the radio talk shows–are ready to hear from people and groups who are concerned about managed competition.
The force that could drive America toward adopting a single-payer system is the skyrocketing cost of care. Whether or not a managed- competition system is installed in the next few years, estimates are that costs will continue to rise from $840 billion in 1993 to something like $2 trillion by 2000. The prospect of such staggering numbers should mobilize voters and convince businesses that a federal takeover of health care is the only solution.

If everything was possible, what would you hope for, mama?
All you need to do is find a rectangle of paper, and spend a couple of minutes thinking about what you hope for. Because we all need to hope.
If you want, you can write your hopes in the middle of the rectangle, and that will fold them into the middle of your boat.
Or you can simply add a folded list of your hopes as your boat's passenger once you've made it.
Here are photos of the stages, just start in the top left corner and follow them anti-clockwise...! - which make it look a litte more complicated than it is.
Passengers carrying my hopes on their backs!

Goulash (a meat and vegetable stew), Töltött Káposzta (mince-stuffed cabbage) and Túrós Csusza (cheese and bacon noodles) are some of the dishes that come to mind when thinking of Budapest's food scene. But this meat-centric approach might just be something of the past. All over the city, local restaurants and cafes are increasingly catering to vegan trends. Here we look at some of the hotspots in the Hungarian capital that have catapulted veganism into the limelight.
There may be pastries filled with creams, sizzling meats and lots of other non-vegan delicacies for sale on street corners across Budapest, but there are plenty of vegan foods to enjoy, too. Visit one of the corn-on-the-cob stalls which sell piping-hot corn smothered with salt, pepper, chilli or cinnamon, for delicious food on-the-go.
Located at the bottom of Castle Hill, Édeni has a great selection of raw cakes, courgette bakes and vegetarian burgers. It doesn't just offer the standard vegan fare though, often playing around with Hungarian specialities (such as stuffed peppers, for example) on a menu that's designed for ethical-eaters.
Perfect for vegans who love to party, the Hummus Bar is one of the few vegetarian diners that keeps it doors open 'till late. Most of its dishes are admittedly geared towards vegetarians rather vegans, but there's still enough hummus and pita, soups and salads on sale to satisfy even the hungriest vegan.
Located in a former wine cellar, Napfenyes Étterem is one of two Napfenyes restaurants (the Erzsebetvaros sister property specialises in pizza) in Budapest that serves top-quality vegan food. Loved by vegans all over the city for its daily specials board, cabbage rolls, bean soups and dark, rich coffees, the atmosphere – chatty but not crowded – makes dining here a real treat.
Feeding the ravenous yogi who emerge from Ashtanga classes at the back of the Atma Centre, Atma focuses on vegetarians but provides excellent vegan fare, too. More inventive than its competition, highlights include chickpea and tomato Sabji, which may explain why its front-door often has a 30-strong queue spilling out at lunch-times.
One of the big trends in veganism is raw food, and The Restaurant of Life is the only raw vegan restaurant in Budapest. Offering lots of fresh fruit and veg that promises to provide the best nutrients and most powerful detoxes, there's also a great range of healthy cakes and super smoothies, which are as affordable as they are delicious.
Head to Fruccola at Kristofter for a lunch you won't forget in a hurry. Selling delicious vegan plates like the "Olla Gitana" (carrot, pumpkin, chickpeas, green beans, mint, pear, tomato and beans), as well as fresh lemonades and juices, customers love that its left-over food always goes to local charities and social projects.
A dainty café off Muzeum Konut road, Dynamo Bake rents bikes and sells baked goods down a little cobblestone alley. Not technically a vegan location per se, nonetheless, the Portuguese owner loves her black-bean brownies and vast assortment of vegan milks almost as much as her bikes.

Jason Roy is a England Cricketer and is one of the most destructive opener in white ball cricket at the moment. More than often he provides England with a quick start which makes batting easier for the England middle order. He made his Odi debut against New Zealand in 2015 when New Zealand toured England at that time the England team were looking for a new combination as their team was thrashed in the World Cup 2015 because of playing slow cricket which cost them dearly and they crashed out of the World Cup loosing to Bangladesh. After that shameful World Cup exit Captain Eoin Morgan decided to change the way the England team play in the One day Cricket therefore the selectors axed the senior players and blood the younger players that is the reason why Jason Roy was selected and he has repaid the faith of the captain and selectors by scoring runs consistently at a good strike rate. He along with Alex Hales and Jonny Barstow forms a dangerous opening combination.

Although it appears that Obama may be dumping the public option (for now) many of his supporters both in and out of government are still pushing for a taxpayer funded public option. Allegedly this public option would be a Government Sponsored Enterprise, after the fashion of such success stories as FNME or FDMC. It is called "alleged" because no part of the upcoming healthcare bill that will eventually be voted on by either the House or the Senate has actually been finalized.
On a libertarian internet site someone suggested that he would support the public option – including a 15% tax increase – in exchange for the private option actually being private.
The private system would be completely private. It would not be regulated in any way. It would be free of all FDA regulations, DEA regulations, and medical licensing. Anybody can be a healthcare practitioner, and can prescribe any medication. But any prescription would be considered nothing more than advice since no medications would be controlled.
So as an experiment, this idea was run by several supporters of socialist medicine.
Theoretically there should be no reason for them to oppose it. They get everything they allegedly want – full government run medicine with all the controls, paid for by those who do not want government medicine. They get free healthcare paid for by their opponents. They get all the controls they say people need. They get all the licencing, all the regulations, and all the restrictions they say people need. And they get to have those who prefer a private system pay for their public system.
The suggestion was greeted with horror.
For some reason, even though the suggestion gave them everything they say they want, they didn't want it.
They were obsessed with the question of how someone in the private system would know which medicines to take. It was suggested that people in the private system would go to any fraud who claims to be a doctor, and only wanted the medicinal freedom in order to "pop pills". Such arguments would indicate that advocates of socialist medicine need the government to prevent them from going to frauds and would need the government in order to not "pop pills".
It seems that the argument in favor of Socialist medicine is more than simply an attempt by the advocates of that system to have "free" healthcare. There is for some strange reason a desire to ensure that everyone else is in a controlled and regulated system as well, a desire to control and regulate everyone else.

Now to paste an image it takes several steps as we have to go to the gallery, upload it, then select it, etc.
It would be great if we can get embedded functionality to copy an image from our computers and just CTRL+V the image into a post to display it.
When you paste the image you have in memory the image is also uploaded to a file path that needs to be created for the plugin to work properly.
Works pretty good I see this as part of WordPress in a future plus the added benefit of resizing and etc if needed with over buttons once the image has been pasted (like the remove image button or set properties).

This tutorial shows how to plan for a rigid body in 3D. We show how to do this in two ways: [with](#geometricSimpleSetup) and [without](#withoutGeometricSimpleSetup) the ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup class. The main difference is that in the latter case ompl::base::SpaceInformation and ompl::base::ProblemDefinition need to be explicitly instantiated. Furthermore, the planner to be used must be explicitly instantiated as well. The recommended approach is using ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup as this is less bug prone and does not limit the functionality of the code in any way.

Setting up geometric planning for a rigid body in 3D requires the following steps:

- identify the space we are planning in: SE(3)
- select a corresponding state space from the available ones, or implement one. For SE(3), the ompl::base::SE3StateSpace is appropriate.
- since SE(3) contains an R3 component, we need to define bounds.
- define the notion of state validity.
- define start states and a goal representation.

Once these steps are complete, the specification of the problem is conceptually done. The set of classes that allow the instantiation of this specification is shown below.

# Using the ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup class {#geometricSimpleSetup}

\dontinclude RigidBodyPlanning.cpp
Assuming the following namespace definitions:
\skip ompl::base
\until ompl::geometric
And a state validity checking function defined like this:
\skipline isStateValid
We first create an instance of the state space we are planning in.
\skip planWithSimpleSetup
\until StateSpace
We then set the bounds for the R3 component of this state space:
\skip RealVectorBounds
\until setBounds
Create an instance of ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup. Instances of ompl::base::SpaceInformation, and ompl::base::ProblemDefinition are created internally.
\skipline SimpleSetup
Set the state validity checker
\skipline setStateValidityChecker
Create a random start state:
\skip start(space)
\until start.random
And a random goal state:
\skip goal(space)
\until goal.random
Set these states as start and goal for SimpleSetup.
\skipline setStartAndGoalStates
We can now try to solve the problem. This will also trigger a call to ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup::setup() and create a default instance of a planner, since we have not specified one. Furthermore, ompl::base::Planner::setup() is called, which in turn calls ompl::base::SpaceInformation::setup(). This chain of calls will lead to computation of runtime parameters such as the state validity checking resolution. This call returns a value from ompl::base::PlannerStatus which describes whether a solution has been found within the specified amount of time (in seconds).  If this value can be cast to true, a solution was found.
\skipline ob::PlannerStatus solved
If a solution has been found, we can optionally simplify it and the display it
\skip solved
\until }

# Without ompl::geometric::SimpleSetup {#withoutGeometricSimpleSetup}

\dontinclude RigidBodyPlanning.cpp
Assuming the following namespace definitions:
\skip ompl::base
\until ompl::geometric
And a state validity checking function defined like this:
\skipline isStateValid
We first create an instance of the state space we are planning in.
\skip plan
\until StateSpace
We then set the bounds for the R3 component of this state space:
\skip RealVectorBounds
\until setBounds
Create an instance of ompl::base::SpaceInformation for the state space
\skipline SpaceInformationPtr
Set the state validity checker
\skipline setStateValidityChecker
Create a random start state:
\skip start(space)
\until start.random
And a random goal state:
\skip goal(space)
\until goal.random
Create an instance of ompl::base::ProblemDefinition
\skipline ProblemDefinitionPtr
Set the start and goal states for the problem definition.
\skipline setStartAndGoalStates
Create an instance of a planner
\skipline PlannerPtr
Tell the planner which problem we are interested in solving
\skipline setProblemDefinition
Make sure all the settings for the space and planner are in order. This will also lead to the runtime computation of the state validity checking resolution.
\skipline planner->setup
We can now try to solve the problem. This call returns a value from ompl::base::PlannerStatus which describes whether a solution has been found within the specified amount of time (in seconds). If this value can be cast to true, a solution was found.
\skipline ob::PlannerStatus solved
If a solution has been found, we display it. Simplification could be done, but we would need to create an instance of ompl::geometric::PathSimplifier.
\skip solved
\until }


The NCQA Prevalidation program—which helps practices pursuing PCMH recognition find information technology that supports a successful survey—is expanding. Many vendors serving primary and specialty care have been waiting for NCQA to open the vendor prevalidation program to the PCSP program. Now, their wait is over.
The vendor prevalidation program has the benefits of practice support and automatic credit for smaller practices ready to implement EHRs and for larger groups with an EHR system in place. When primary care practices implement technology solutions, some elements are specialty-specific. Practices will now have a program to show how their system supports specialty practices in the recognition process. Interested vendors can pre-order the handbook, targeted for release by late August. Visit the NCQA store to pre-order NCQA Prevalidation for PCSP.

In Conversation With Trevor: Dr Chaii: I'm living my dream in LA
By In Conversation With Trevor | Oct. 2, 2022
Dr Chaii
Zimbabwe-born song writer and producer Dr Chaii has spoken of his joy after realising his dream to produce a hit song for Jamaican mega dancehall star Sean Paul.
Dr Chaii, a Los Angeles-based Grammy Awards nominee, told Alpha Media Holdings chairman Trevor Ncube on the platform In Conversation with Trevor, a year after he told his brother during a Sean Paul concert in Harare that he wanted to do a song for him, he was already working with the artist.
He spoke at length about how he made it from Zimbabwe and continues living his dream in America.
TN: Dr Chaii welcome to welcome to In Conversation With Trevor.
DC: Thank you for having me, I am very happy to be here.
TN: Tell me how long have you been away from Zimbabwe?
DC: Too long! Everyday feels like a day too long, but I left in...I think I finished my high school in 2009 at St George's College.
Then I went over to university in England for three to four years, but I would be coming home you know like you do for the summers and for the holidays and that sort of thing.
In Conversation with Trevor: Chisamba: Let's be proud of ourselves
In Conversation with Trevor: 'I tried to change Zanu PF from within' – Margaret Dongo
In Conversation with Trevor : How car crash changed my life
In Conversation With Trevor: 'We lost our humanity'
Then I made the move to LA in 2014. So yeah it's been some time now.
TN: I'm very excited to be talking to you.
I mean you are making waves and making us very proud in LA as far as music is concerned.
So first of all, you have been nominated twice for Grammy Awards, producer and writer?
That must be amazing? Congratulations, that must be amazing.
So talk to me about the first Grammy nomination. What was that for?
DC: The first Grammy nomination was for a song called Hey Ma that I produced with fellow Zimbabwean Mashy Bantu, and it was a song for The Fast and Furious soundtrack with J Balvin, Camila Cabell and Pitbull.
It was a song that we had originally made, actually it was inspired by an Afrobeat song and we thought, you know, it would be cool now that Afro has started to come in to do something with some marimba and some v-runs and something like that.
So as music tends to go the people that liked the song that we wrote were these massive artists in the Latin community, so the song went from being this Afro idea to sort of evolving and going through the creative process and becoming a reggaeton song and you know when we made it we just thought okay we're making a song that we love and it's a song that we're excited about, but we had no idea that it would end up getting nominated for a Latin Grammy or you know going on becoming a radio song or that sort of thing.
So that one is a really special one, because it kind of really showed me that even your smallest of ideas or even those small dreams or the small kind of moments can really turn into something magical you know if it's wooded the right way.
TN: Tell me, what is it about that song do you think made it so popular with so many people?
As you were making it, and when you look back now what is it about that song?
What did you put in there that made everybody love it? That special sauce?
DC: Hahahaha. A special sauce? The truth is I think I'm really big on the message of joy and having a good time and enjoyment and I think that a lot of music either you know there have its purposes.
Maybe you feel sad, maybe you're going through a breakup or maybe it's mellow.
That one we managed to successfully capture the essence of joy in the beat, it's upbeat, it has Afro-influences, it has Latin influences, and I think it was one of the few songs at the time that managed to just be a song about a really good time and also feel that way.
You know a lot of the lyrics didn't have, there's no profanity in the lyrics, it was just you know about dancing and there's a part in the song that goes hey mama, hey mama and so when we wrote it we wrote it kind of you know, what we do back home with the chanting or something, but when the Latin people heard it they thought this is ours too because we also say, hey mama.
It ended up becoming by mistake something that a lot of people managed to relate to.
Africans said this is ours, and Latin people said this is ours and it just took on a life of its own.
TN: Tell me about when you heard the news that it had been nominated for a Grammy what was your response like?
DC: Trevor it's one of those things where I think as a child you have all these dreams of you know.
That's one of the things that goes on your vision board if you desire to be a musician or producer you say one day I really love to be nominated for a Grammy and I think you work so hard and you do all these things and you never make something with the intention of being nominated.
So when it eventually does happen it's such an emotional moment because it's also one of those things you can call home to mummy and daddy and say we got nominated!
TN: Hahahahaha.
DC: You know when you're making music you know it's such an elusive intangible thing that you don't always get those moments to call home and say I know this is happening like this, or this is going on.
It is very intangible, so when you get nominated for a Grammy it's so emotional because it feels like an award not just for you, but it's for the parents that supported you, especially my parents have always been incredibly supportive and so it feels like a massive milestone.
It is emotional and you're excited but it does give you a sense of you know you're here to achieve something greater and you have an opportunity and a special opportunity to push culture forward and to be a representative and so it's something that's exciting but it's also something that I don't take very lightly.
So it was a very emotional experience for me and very blessed to be able to have that.
TN: I am blessed to be talking to you. I mean a young man who's done a song that has featured, that has been that is excited people.
I mean am I blessed or what? We are so proud of you.
Then the second Grammy nomination? Talk to me about that Dr Chaii?
DC: The second one was for a song called Familia.
This one was for the Spider-Man soundtrack, and I also did this one with Bantu who I grew up with back home too.
This one is interesting because, again it was a song that ended up having a massive Latin artist on it, and I just said I don't know what it is about Africans and Latinos, maybe we get along maybe, we like the same things, we just can't escape these guys.
That one is a really special one because it was for the Spider-Man movie, but the Spider-Man movie that it ended up in was the new animation Spider-Man and it was the first black Latino Spider-Man.
So culturally speaking it was a really special one to be a part of because it was the first time a lot of people of culture were able to have a superhero portrayed in their image, and the song was used in like a scene where the kid is growing up and he has his dream and this and that, and so that one is very special because even for us growing up, at least to my age we didn't really see a Spider-Man that looked like us or a superhero that looked like us so to even be a part of that narrative or even be in that conversation, or help in your little way to push something like that forward, was really special so that one was a really great moment.
TN: Well done, very proud of you.
DC: Thank you.
TN: Some of your credits Dr Chaii include Jason Derulo, I mean I love Jason Derulo. Trumpets.
DC: You do?
TN: My favourite from Chris Brown is Back to Sleep.
My favourite from Pitbull is Pitbull and Neyo. Then Sean Paul, Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5.
I love Maroon 5, particularly Moves Like Jagger. Talk to me about all those guys and what it means like to be working with them Dr Chaii?
DC: It is one of those things that it doesn't really get old.
I think everyday you wake up and you pinch yourself and you say wow, is this really happening?
TN: Let me remind you, you are a young man from Zimbabwe and you're working with that you're working with these guys, Nicki Minaj, Sean Paul…
Come on man talk to me about this stuff?
DC: I love that you said let's just go back again!
TN: I think you're not getting something here hahahaha.
DC: I love that! It is shocking every time, and it is one of those things that never get old.
So every time something happens it is just like you wake up and it feels like the first time and every time because these are a lot of artists that I grew up listening to and grew up looking up to.
I remember my first song I ever produced for an artist was a song called No Lie for Sean Paul and Dua Lipa.
Funny story, just a few months prior to that I had gone to a Sean Paul concert with my brother actually, and it was the concert when Sean Paul came to Zimbabwe.
I can't remember, which stadium he went to and I just remember it was Sean Paul and Akon.
And me and my brother went and my parents were saying you guys it is going to be late so do not be late and it was a whole thing.
I just remember saying to my brother we have to go to watch Sean Paul and eventually we made it, we bought our tickets we went there and we were just sitting there.
We had the best time just as you can imagine Zimbabweans with their dancehall.
I remember just watching him and then I was talking to my brother saying wow, you know one day it would be great to work with these people and he looked at me and he said you know one day you will work with these people.
You know, you look at each other and you're just dreaming, you're fantasising about things, and maybe less than a year later I managed to produce this song for Sean Paul.
I remember when I heard the news just breaking down in tears because I just remembered that moment and I remember how special that one was to me and so you know every single song is special for different reasons in its own ways and every morning you wake up and you don't take it for granted to have these opportunities.
So it has been incredible.
TN: So how did you actually get the Sean Paul deal? Describe to us how these things happen?
DC: So you know with music it is interesting because every single situation happens differently, but for that one it was a beat that I had made.
So a beat is where it would be everything without to anyone who doesn't really know how it works.
Imagine the song without the vocals or the singing, so it's just the beat and so I had been working on beats, it was early in my time in LA and you just be putting together beats.
So what you do is you'd send them around speculatively to people and you just hope something sticks, maybe something happens and nine times out of 10 maybe you don't get an email back, but you just know you're trying to operate in faith as much as you can just cold emailing people.
I remember something funny happened when I was just on the couch working and it was the Twitter days and this producer that I really looked up to and I still do called Sunstar just tweeted his email address and I happened to see within maybe 10-15 seconds of him tweeting and I said let me just send this guy some music.
So I sent him some beats and 10 minutes later he responded "I love these, these are brilliant!" I said this is wonderful and he said just keep sending me things.

Social Work is an exciting academic major, preparing students for professional entry-level work in the social and human services. Students in the major engage in the exploration of ways to ameliorate personal, interpersonal, and societal problems and learn skills and techniques in order to create change and make a difference in people's lives. Social Work is a valuable degree as many employers recognize it as preparing graduates to utilize a variety of tools to work with diverse populations on multiple issues and goals.
Employment of social workers is expected to grow by 16% from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2018). Bachelor-level social workers are employed in a variety of settings, including schools, prisons, non-profit and for-profit private agencies, and governmental agencies. They work with individuals, families,groups, and communities as intake staff, resource and referral specialists, case workers, case managers, program coordinators, project directors, community organizers, and more.
The BSSW Program has been continuously accredited since 1997 by the Council on Social Work Education, the sole accrediting body for social work programs in the U.S. Accreditation assures that professional standards are met in curriculum content and delivery. Accredited programs periodically undergo rigorous review by CSWE in order to ensure compliance with educational standards.


Higher Education Standards Panel on Improving the Transparency of Higher Education Admissions.
Higher Education Standards Panel on Improving the Transparency of Higher Education Admissions have released their final report.
In February 2016, Minister Birmingham asked the Higher Education Standards Panel to advise him on options to improve the transparency of higher education student admissions, while minimising regulatory burden.
On 6 April 2016 a consultation paper Higher Education Standards Panel – Consultation on the Transparency of Higher Education Admissions Processes was released for comment. In response, the Panel received 82 written submissions. The Panel and its secretariat also met face to face with a range of interested parties including higher education providers and their representative peak bodies, tertiary admission centres (TACs) and secondary education stakeholders including parents, principal associations and state curriculum and assessment authorities.
CICA and its member associations provided a response to the Consultation Paper and CICA President, Martin Smith was invited to appear before to Panel in Canberra.

Janus-Epimetheus Swing
Photojournal: PIA08348
+ View Video
In this movie sequence, Cassini watches Saturn's moon Janus and Epimetheus in their orbital dance as the F ring slides out of view.
These two moons are locked in a gravitational tango that causes them to swap positions about every four years, with one becoming the innermost of the pair and the other becoming the outermost.
The movie was created from eight original images taken over the course of 11 minutes as the spacecraft's narrow angle camera remained pointed toward Epimetheus. Although Janus (181 kilometers, or 113 miles across) moves a greater distance across the field of view, Epimetheus (116 kilometers, or 72 miles across) also moved perceptibly during this time. The images were aligned to keep Epimetheus close to the center of the scene. Additional frames were inserted between the eight Cassini images to smooth the appearance of the moons' movement--a scheme called interpolation.
The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 8, 2005, at a distance of approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Janus and 1.7 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Epimetheus. Image scale is 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel on Janus and 10 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Such a joy to walk into my local vegan shoe store last week, and find this final pair of Beyond Skin vegan shoes sitting quietly in a box at a bottom of a stack of shoes, in exactly my size, and for 60% off. One of my favourite elements of sustainability takes classic style into account; fashion pieces that won't fall out of fashion quickly. And these shoes, made of vintage remnant fabric, are classic enough that most won't be able to tell that they are from last year's collection, and the same will hold true in years to come. Magnifeco!
Beyond Skin is a U.K.-based ethical fashion label creating handmade ladies designer vegan shoes and boots in the most environmentally friendly manner they possibly can. Their vegetarian footwear is made from some of the finest, recycled fabrics and they work closely with their factories to ensure they reduce the carbon footprint oft heir ethical shoes wherever possible. They have large ladies shoes with sizes going up to EU size 43, and ship worldwide.


The sol loves it sooo much that would wish to lock on it! This was the underlying thought behind the shoe concept that influenced the creation of the brand name and eventually the brand identity creation. The brand character is one that is sporty and dynamics and mirror the lifestyle of the wearer.


Montmorency County receives, on the average, 100 inches of snow in a winter. This snow, compounded by the drifting that we get, makes a job out of keeping roads open all winter. Generally, we don't like to work over eight to ten hours as it is more dangerous plowing at night, and we want our snow plow drivers rested for the next morning. However, they sometimes work seven days a week during the winter.
The primary roads are plowed first, and then the drivers go on their routes. Within each route, the "more main" routes are plowed first. Unfortunately, someone must be first, and someone must be last, and, depending on where you live, it may be late in the day before your road is plowed. If the driver on your route gets stuck or has a breakdown, it may be later than usual.
After a storm, we try to open a narrow path down all roads the first day and widen them out the second day. If another storm hits the second day, we start over, and it could be several days before all the roads are widened out.
We get in a lot of trouble when widening these roads because it tends to fill driveways. Contrary to popular opinion, we cannot lift the plow at driveways, swerve away from driveways or put all the snow across the road from driveways. The worst case is when you are unable to plow or snow blow your own drive, and our truck fills it just after your plow driver has left. You may even have more of a problem than your neighbor depending on how the snow drifts at your driveway.
It is a wonder that our drivers are able to plow so close to mailboxes day after day and rarely hit one. If we do hit one, we will replace it with a common mailbox, not a fancy one. If the snow coming off the plow knocks your mailbox off, you are liable for that.
Please do not put your garbage on the shoulder of the road in the winter; we probably will hit it, and you will have a mess.
We cannot plow any private roads or driveways. The law does allow road commissions in the Upper Peninsula to plow drives but not here.
We do not necessarily plow all County Roads. Some are too narrow, too steep or don't have a place to turn around. In most cases, school buses will only go on plowed county roads, so check with us before you buy or build a house if you are not sure.
When County trucks are working on the road, they are exempt from the motor vehicle code. This allows them to back up in the roads, plow intersections, drive on the shoulder, etc.
When our trucks are loaded full of snow, it is sometimes hard for them to see a small car. For this reason, you should try to stay clear of County trucks as they may not do what you expect.
Also, our trucks are not capable of plowing at 70 MPH as we are sometimes accused, more like 35 - 40 MPH. With all the snow flying, it appears the truck is going faster. It is important for them to go relatively fast to get the snow thrown back far enough so a high bank doesn't form.
We have to push back high banks with a grader and wing plow, and that is very time consuming. One last thing, if you have an emergency and need to get plowed out in a hurry, call the Sheriff's Department or the State Police. They will get in contact with us and get you out.

The official history of our site starts in 1720 when the property became a farm. You can still see the stone walls that divided the land into crop fields, as well as the one separating the camp from the road. The original farmhouse was located at the bottom of Old Tarrytown Road by Hillside Avenue (Route 100), and the entire plateau was owned by one family. The farmhouse was demolished in 1869 and, at the time, was the second oldest continuously lived-in house in Westchester. During the Revolutionary War the Battle of White Plains was fought on the western slope of the hills above the Bronx River Parkway. This area included Old Tarrytown Road and stretched south about two miles.
Many of the buildings on the camp property are quite old. We think that The Little House was built before 1820, and that the Main House was built about 1850. Both were built using wooden pegs. The Main House originally had eleven fireplaces, many of them marble, and lacked plumbing until 1918. Water was supplied by the three wells located on our grounds, one of which we still use today. In the 1920's, and until the early 1940's, the property became a county hospital for children with long-term illnesses.
Mohawk Day Camp, Then and Now…
Camp Mohawk was founded in 1930 by the late Glenn and Eleanor Loucks. Mr. Loucks was a physical education teacher at White Plains High School, and was one of the most famous high school football coaches of all time. You might be familiar with the "Loucks Games," a regional track meet named for him and hosted annually at White Plains High School. Glenn sought advice on how to organize his camp from "Pop" Pierce and Morris Libman, both of whom were very influential to the making of Mohawk. Glenn started with just a handful of campers, enlisting his school athletes as counselors. In 1951, one of those school athletes was our own Steve Schainman!
Careful readers may have noted a discrepancy in dates – camp was founded in 1930, but the grounds were used as a hospital until the 40's. Well, in its first two years, Mohawk used a field in Scarsdale. In 1932, it moved to the Roger Askem School, the current site of the Kol Ami Synagogue (formerly the White Plains Jewish Community Center). The campers went swimming twice a week, driven by bus to the Playland pool and the old Oakland Beach pool, both in Rye.
During World War II Glenn Loucks joined the Navy, while Eleanor continued to direct Mohawk. After he returned, they decided that they wanted a place of their own, and in 1946 moved the camp to Old Tarrytown Road. The Home School, which had also used the Roger Askem School, was invited to lease space. In 1948, Glenn and Eleanor purchased the school, uniting the Home School and Camp Mohawk.
In 1959, the Loucks sold the camp to Richard and Annette Marks and Donald Liederman. Mr. Marks is the author of the highly acclaimed Three Men of the Beagle, about the travels of Darwin, and Cortez, the story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. In 1963 Mohawk was sold again, this time to three veteran directors of sleepaway camps, Joseph Kruger, Morton J. Goldman, Robert Kinoy, and to one former Mohawk counselor, Steve Schainman.
When Steve first became a Mohawk counselor in 1951 there were only two lifeguards, and the only activity specialists were a
handful of counselors who ran the pony rides, woodshop, nature, dance, and arts & crafts. By 1953, at the age of 19, he had become a group head counselor. After college, Steve spent some time in the Army, attended graduate school, and worked in business and in teaching. However, it was always camp he loved and longed for. In 1965, he became Mohawk's new director. To our campers he was known as "Big Chief Steve," and for every camp carnival celebration, he was "Mohawk Man" – our own superhero in red tights and flowing red cape!
During his first summer as Director, Big Chief Steve invited his best counselor, Barbara Baskind, to help with after-camp phone calls from parents. Barbara was the head counselor for the only pre-school group we had at that time. In 1967, Barbara and Steve got married. Barbara was promoted to Co-Director.
Steve and Barbara Schainman handed the camp down to their son Ken in 2003, making him Mohawk's camp director.
Ken retired in 2015, with Adam Wallach stepping into the role of camp director.

Q: how to avoid hiding the tabs when scrolled down? I have implemented viewpager with TabLayout. Each tab is a Fragment. I think the default behavior of Tabs is that they are hidden when user scrolls down and gets visibility when scrolled up.
I wont have much content to make use of the tabs space too. So I want to show the tabs always.
How can I avoid hiding the Tabs when user scrolls down ?
Here is my TabLayout with ViewPager:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/myAppBarLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/myTabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/toolbar_height"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:overScrollMode="never"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/white"
        app:tabIndicatorHeight="3dp"
        app:tabMode="scrollable" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/myViewPager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

Apps page in Play store always shows the tabs.

A: Take off this line
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"

this flag forces the view (your TabLayout) to scroll on any downwards scroll event.
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/myTabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/toolbar_height"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:overScrollMode="never"
        app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/white"

I love a restaurant that provides a full, fun, unique dining experience in addition to fantastic food. If you haven't experienced Prohibition Chicken in Old Town Lewisville yet, you'll be finding a way to get there as soon as possible by the time you're finished reading this article. Prohibition Chicken was created by four local guys (Chef Roger Kaplan, Ken Johnsen, Josh Babb, and Sean Clavir) who have a passion for two things: chicken and whiskey. And Prohibition Chicken perfectly marries those two passions together.
Customers can enjoy traditional dining and drinks in the main dining area. Or if you really want to enjoy the full prohibition experience, head on back to their speakeasy, the Volstead Room, through the telephone booth where you can enjoy their full menu as well as some truly unique cocktails created by their Cocktail Enthusiast, Ryan.
When we first visited Prohibition Chicken more than a year ago, their menu was solely family-style. They've since updated their menu so in addition to their "Sunday Picnic" offering of fried chicken and a side, they also now serve sandwiches like their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and entree salads like their Smoked Tri Tip Salad.
They have four chicken options you can choose from. Our personal favorite is the Pecan Smoked, but if you're a fan of a little heat on your fried chicken, you'll love their version of Nashville Hot Chicken. Well, really… let's be honest. You can't go wrong no matter your choice. With their double-crusted recipe, each piece of chicken is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Exactly as fried chicken should be.
And while Prohibition Chicken may be (obviously) most well-known for their fried chicken, you can't leave without trying some of their Kobe-style Tri-Tip from Beeman Ranch! It is melt-in-your-mouth delicious goodness. But, of course, the full experience comes when you enter the Volstead Room through the phone booth where you can enjoy craft cocktails like their popular "I Do What I Want," which is Prohibition Chicken's unique take on an Old Fashioned.

The response to the machine has been great, said Steve Roguski, owner of Fairhaven Runners. Since late June about 300 people went through the process, which Roguski said takes a few minutes.
Roguski said what Superfeet is doing is bound to be disruptive not only in how footwear is sold but how shoes will be made going forward. By the end of the year, he expects to be able to sell custom-made shoes to customers made by Superfeet.
Superfeet is employee-owned and regularly recognized as a great place to work – it made Outside Magazine's 2015 best places to work list. The company has 75 employees in Ferndale and about 130 when you count the sales representatives it has in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company moved into its 50,000-square-foot facility at 1820 Scout Place in March 2011.

How can I join the buddies session that was left over after the ashes were cleared?
There is no foolproof method for rejoining friend sessions that have already concluded, but there are a few things you can attempt in the event that you want to participate. Check first to see if the session is still going on your friends' screens to determine if you may join in. In that case, you should join in and hope that people won't notice that you came in late. If the session has already come to a close, you can try texting your friends on social media or within the game to find out whether they are interested in playing another round.

On a PlayStation, how does one go about sending an invitation to a game?

How can you fix the issue where there are no invites on PS4?
This issue could be solved in a number different ways at this point. To begin, you should attempt to restart your console. In the event that this does not work, you have the option of erasing your existing party and forming a new one. If neither of these alternatives works, your best bet is to get in touch with the PlayStation support team to for additional assistance.
On the PlayStation 4, how can I accept game invites?

Every single aspect of the game may be played with other people, including the main story campaign, optional missions, and dungeons.
How do I get across the platform that's been left over from the ashes?
There is no solution that is universally applicable to this topic, as the optimal approach to resurrecting a Remnant from its ashes may differ depending on the specifics of your scenario and the choices you make. To cross-platform Remnant from ashes, you can use a cross-platform development technology like React Native, create a hybrid app, or use a third-party service.

Can players of the PS5 and PS4 compete against one another?
Players of both the PS5 and PS4 are able to compete against one another. The cross-play feature between the two consoles is not scheduled to undergo any changes, as confirmed by Sony. This paves the way for users of either platform to participate in online multiplayer games with other players on the other platform.
Can a PlayStation 4 and a PlayStation 5 be in the same party?
There is no reason why the PS4 and PS5 can't coexist in the same party. Because the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 are each their own distinct console, you are free to bring either one to a party with you.

«Таланты и покойники» — спектакль Театра имени Пушкина по единственной пьесе Марка Твена «Жив или мертв». Первая в России постановка этого произведения. Премьера состоялась 11 мая 2012 года. Исполнитель главной роли — актёр и певец Сергей Лазарев — за свою работу в спектакле «Таланты и покойники» был удостоен премии «Звезда Театрала».

Краткое содержание

Молодой художник Жан-Франсуа Милле еле сводит концы с концами. Его работы не продаются, семья невесты в должниках у проходимца, а друзья-художники, с которыми он делит богемную парижскую мансарду, ещё большие неудачники, чем он сам. Рецепт спасения невольно подсказывает один из потенциальных покупателей — живые художники ценятся недорого, но стоит автору умереть, как цены на его картины немедленно подскакивают. Друзья решаются на весёлое мошенничество: они решают объявить Милле сначала неизлечимо больным, а потом и покойником. Самого же художника переодевают в его вымышленную сестру-близнеца, которой теперь предстоит распродавать работы брата…

Сергей Лазарев о спектакле

«Таланты и покойники» — это комедия положений с переодеванием. Я играю сразу и мужскую, и женскую роли. Нужно играть так, чтобы было легко, смешно и не пошло. Евгений Писарев считает, что эта роль для меня — прощание с юностью и мальчишеством. Я с ним абсолютно согласен. Мечтаю через два года сыграть в серьезном драматическом материале, а пока у меня такой возраст, что можно хулиганить"

«Мы очень долго выбирали пьесу вместе с худруком Евгением Писаревым, понимая, что после достаточно успешного спектакля "Одолжите тенора!" нужно идти дальше, искать материал, который явил бы какую-то мою новую актерскую грань. Хотелось сделать хороший спектакль, используя мои и актерские, и музыкальные способности, поэтому пьесу искали достаточно долго»

Пресса о спектакле

«Комедию с переодеваниями в Театре имени Пушкина не ломают, а наоборот, тщательно выстраивают. Евгений Писарев и Сергей Лазарев, кажется, изучили этот жанр до мелочей. В "Одолжите тенора!" на этой же сцене Лазарев примеряет маврский грим и маску оперного певца (благо, голос подделывать не приходится), в "Талантах и покойниках", сбрасывая усики, берет и шарф художника, примеряет платье и каблуки. Удается это актеру столь органично, что он кажется более убедителен в роли Дэйзи (досл. маргаритки), чем Жана-Франсуа».

«Спектакль смотрится на одном дыхании — так всё в нем ладно скроено и крепко сшито. Яркие, но не навязчивые декорации (Зиновий Марголин), очаровательная музыка (Алексей Кортнев), начинающие, но явно небесталанные артисты (Писарев занял в спектакле исключительно молодежь). Намеренная стилизация здесь только в плюс — поселив героев этой истории во Францию середины прошлого века, режиссёр обеспечил спектаклю ностальгическую атмосферу, которую навевают фильмы тех лет. Наивная сказка выглядит чуть ли не откровением — так редка она сегодня в театре. Особенно если сыграна без фальши и передергиваний».

Интересные факты

 Сергей Лазарев назвал свою собаку Дейзи — в честь героини, которую играет на сцене.
