Trump expands Medicare telehealth benefits as research warns of COVID-19 impact
The Trump administration on Tuesday expanded telehealth benefits for Medicare beneficiaries and relaxed some HIPAA regulations as part of its response to the new coronavirus pandemic, as U.S. cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus, reached all 50 states and deaths tied to the virus topped 100.
Are you ready to leverage telehealth against COVID-19? Here are 3 steps to prepare.
US COVID-19 cases may be higher than current estimates
Reports of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, first surfaced in early December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
The United States saw its first COVID-19 case in late January, and cases have spiked since then. As of Wednesday morning, state and federal officials had reported 5,881 cases of COVID-19 and 107 deaths linked to the new coronavirus in the United States. Officials have now reported at least one case of COVID-19 in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as in three U.S. territories.
According to CNBC, state and local officials say it's likely the actual number of Americans with COVID-19 is drastically higher than what's been reported so far. Officials note that testing kits for the new coronavirus have been scarce in the United States, but as more tests become available, it's likely that the number of Americans with reported, confirmed cases of COVID-19 will continue to rise significantly.
A report released Tuesday by Imperial College London estimated that, without action by the government and individuals to curb the new coronavirus' spread, as many as 2.2 million Americans could die from the virus. The researchers said the United States would need to implement stringent restrictions on social gatherings, school, and work across the entire country until a vaccine for the virus is available—which could take up to 18 months—to control the outbreak.
Trump admin expands Medicare telehealth benefits, relaxes HIPAA rules
The report from Imperial College London, which was reviewed by White House officials, pushed the Trump administration to release stricter social distancing recommendations on Monday and to ramp up other parts of its coronavirus response efforts, the New York Times reports.
On Tuesday, CMS announced that, retroactive to March 6, it is expanding Medicare reimbursements for telehealth services, allowing clinicians to be paid for a wider range of telehealth services provided to beneficiaries in various settings throughout the United States. CMS Administrator Seema Verma said, "These changes allow seniors to communicate with their doctors without having to travel to a health care facility so that they can limit risk of exposure and spread of this virus. Clinicians on the frontlines will now have greater flexibility to safely treat our beneficiaries."
Specifically, CMS said Medicare will now pay clinicians for telehealth services conducted "in any health care facility including a physician's office, hospital, nursing home, or rural health clinic, as well as from [beneficiaries'] homes." Further, the agency said it will now pay clinicians for "various services through telehealth including common office visits, mental health counseling, and preventive health screenings." Previously, Medicare would pay clinicians only for a limited scope of telehealth services, such as certain routine care visits, and only if beneficiaries met certain geographical requirements and received the services at a local medical facility.
CMS said it will pay clinicians for the newly eligible telehealth services under the Physician Fee Schedule, at the same rate clinicians would receive if the services were provided in person. The agency said typical Medicare coinsurance and deductible requirements would apply for the services, but noted that HHS' Office of Inspector General is giving providers flexibility to reduce or waive cost-sharing requirements for telehealth visits covered by federal health care programs.
In addition, HHS announced that its Office for Civil Rights effective immediately "will exercise enforcement discretion and waive penalties" for health care providers who use "everyday communications technologies, such as FaceTime or Skype," to "serve patients in good faith … during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency." HHS said although the communications technologies may not be fully compliant with HIPAA regulations, providers "can use any non-public facing remote communication product that is available to communicate with patients" during the public health emergency without being penalized for violating HIPAA.
Trump admin eyes $1T emergency stimulus package, checks for Americans
Meanwhile, Trump administration officials and Congress are working on aid packages that could provide as much as $1 trillion in emergency stimulus to help support Americans and U.S. businesses as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic—and that could include a proposal to send checks directly to Americans.
According to Politico, White House officials have been working on a package that could provide $50 billion dollars in emergency stimulus funding to the airline industry, $250 billion for programs to support small businesses, and $500 billion to support Americans either through cutting the payroll tax or by sending them money directly.
Department of the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday said "Americans need cash now. And I mean now—in the next two weeks."
According to Axios, it's unclear who would qualify for the funds or how much they would receive, but Mnuchin indicated the money would go to Americans most affected by the country's COVID-19 outbreak. "We don't need to send people who make a million dollars a year checks," he said.
Some legislators have called for making direct payments of $1,000 to each American adult, but Mnuchin suggested the payments officials currently are considering "may be a little bit bigger than what's in the press," Axios reports (Johnson, The Hill, 3/17; Garrity, Becker's Health IT, 3/17; New York Times, 3/18; Smith et al., New York Times, 3/18; Wise, The Hill, 3/17; Feuer, CNBC, 3/17; Oprysko, Politico, 3/17; Ayesh, Axios, 3/17; Fink, New York Times, 3/16; CMS release, 3/17; CMS fact sheet, 3/17; HHS notification, 3/17; Cook/White, Politico, 3/17; Treene, Axios, 3/18).

Q: R extract a single data from mutliple csv files I have multiple csv files (more than 100). Each file represents a time period. In each file, there are 29 lines that need to be skiped (text lines). At line 30, I have a matrix of temperature as a function of latitude and longitude coordinates. For example: at latitude 68.80 and longitude 48.40268, the temperature is 5.94.
So, I would like to extract the temperature at a specific combination of latitude and longitude coordinates for every time period I have (for every file).
I can write the code for a single file, but I'm affraid I don't know how to do it in a loop or how to make it faster.
Any help is appreciated, thank you. Sorry if this is similar to other questions, I read what I could find on that topic, but it did not seem to fit for my problem.
The code for one file:
filenames <- list.files(path="E:/Documents...")
fileone <- read.csv(filenames[1], skip=29, header=T, sep=";")
names(fileone) <- c("Lat", "68.88", "68.86", "68.85", "68.83", "68.82", "68.80", "68.79", "68.77", "68.76", "68.74", "68.73", "68.71")
Tempone <- fileone[which(fileone$Lat==48.40268), "68.80"]

A: Assuming data size relative to your system are small enough (relative to your system)
to fit into memory all together, you can accomplish this in one shot using lists
## Grab the filienames, just like you're doing
filenames <- list.files(path="E:/Documents...")

## Assuming all columns have the same column names
c.nms <- c("Lat", "68.88", "68.86", "68.85", "68.83", "68.82", "68.80", "68.79", "68.77", "68.76", "68.74", "68.73", "68.71")

## Import them all in one shot, as a list of data.frames
AllData <- lapply(filenames, read.table,
      skip=29, header=TRUE, sep=";", row.names=NULL, col.names=c.nms)

## Then to get all of your rows
PulledRows <-
lapply(AllData, function(DF)
    DF[fileone$Lat==48.40268, "68.80"]
  )

If you are pulling different lat/longs per file, you can use mapply with a vector/list of lat/longs

Political Reform to Boost the Economy
Nicaraguan businessmen believe that electoral reform is essential to reactivate the country's economic activity, which has been in decline since the crisis erupted in 2018.
According to estimates by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Nicaragua's Gross Domestic Product contracted by 5.7% in 2019, a drop that complements the year-on-year variation of -3.8% recorded in 2018.
Political and Economic Continuity in Nicaragua
The vast majority of nicaraguans intend to vote for the re-election of the current President, Daniel Ortega, which would ensure the continuity of the current policies used to run the country.
Confirming what has been published by other pollsters, M & R Consultores notes that the results of its seventh national survey put the clear favorite to win the presidential election as Daniel Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo, who according to this survey now have 66.3% of the vote. The nearest contender has only 8% of the vote, while the so-called hidden vote is 20.6%.

Kent businesses progress through the COVID-19 pandemic
These are the current downtown shops currently serving customers as of April 6, 2020.
Theresa Lovrak Reporter
Main Street Kent and downtown local businesses are working to adjust to the needs of the city's residents with the growing pandemic, COVID-19. While Ohio Governor Mike Dewine issued an order not allowing dine-in options to prevent the spread of the virus on March 15th, local businesses like Tree City Coffee and Bent Tree are still servicing drive-thru and take out orders.
Bent Tree owner, Mike Mistur, expressed his gratitude towards the continued support from customers during these difficult times. Mistur explained that as of Thursday, April 2nd, Bent Tree will temporarily be closed for approximately 2 weeks in hopes of protecting the employees and customers from the growing pandemic.
Bent Tree employees are currently practicing social distancing with one another and maintaining their space while working in the shop. Mistur said preventative steps have been taken to maintain the health of his employees such as increased sanitization, hand washing and frequent replacement of gloves. The temperature of his employees is checked before they start their shift as well.
Tree City is also going about reducing the risk. Co-owner, Evan Bailey, conveyed his attention to their employees and customers during COVID-19. Open communication between management and employees has been encouraged if any concern for their well being or comfort arises.
"The ball keeps moving. It's hard to predict what will happen next," Bailey said.
While it is difficult to plan ahead, Bailey anticipates the business will continue to succeed through the pandemic. Tree City opens at their regular times; 6:30 Monday-Friday, 7:30 Saturday and 8:00 Sunday, but closes at 4:00 p.m daily.
Kent City Councilwoman, Heidi Shaffer, explained the city is going about supporting local businesses in every way possible. While there is a concern for businesses that had to shut down, most restaurants and some retailers remain open to some extent.
The Kent council hopes to express the importance of supporting local businesses that don't have the luxury of financial security like corporate chains during the pandemic.
Main Street events for the month of April have been postponed until further notice. These events consist of Putt Around Downtown which was originally scheduled for April 4 and Seven Courses of Kent originally scheduled for April 26.
"It's hard to choose new dates farther out when we don't know how long this will take to resolve. We're trying to stay focused and positive, as we all try to deal with and come out on top of this thing," said Director of Main Street Kent Heather Malarcik.

After Recording/Tracking comes Mix Downs - Part 13
After full on recording weekend at Warner/Chappel on Music Row, I continued in 'producer' mode for the most part. What most folks don't know about the studio process between recording and the release of the album, is a whole hoard of steps still to go. I'll be going into the behind the scenes here with your producer, Chakra Bleu. I realise that there will be too much information for interest for most of you. I invite you to read what suits your fancy. Again, I am not concentrating on condensing the information or making this a literary best seller. Lol. This is just for fun. Ignore the typos and elongated sentences:)
Mark Lonsway was the engineer on this record project. We hit it off right away and I was impressed with his intuitiveness and creative skills at the helm of the console.
I gave him a couple weeks to 'clean up' the tracks. So what this means is that when a song is recorded, there most likely will be multiple tracks for various instruments, whereby the musician 'patched in' a better recording in a segment of the song. This especially applies to instrumentals. Sometimes the engineer will record right over the undesired part that the musician needs to re-do, yet sometimes the engineer will save a track of lets say an instrumental of the fiddle and then open another track for that same spot. This can actually be helpful for the producer to use on mix down should there be a situation as follows: The first two bars of the instrumental on track 1 of the fiddle were not as good as what he did on track 2. So I have the engineer 'grab' the first two bars of track 2, paste them in on the first two bars of track 1, while keeping bar 3 and 4 on that same track, because they were played flawlessly or more melodically pleasing.
Mark goes through deleting unnecessary tracks as well white noise. Wha? So lets use this example: The fiddle player is waiting to play instrumental and just seconds before playing he sighs and quietly clears his throat. This is picked up on this sensitive microphone in the room. The engineer can see the wave forms on that track that tells him that that is not part of the instruments four bar instrumental. Mark, the engineer double checks the track and surely see that its deletable. Another job of 'cleaning up' the tracks is to meticulously make sure that the rhythm of the instruments are spot on. Even though I'm working with the best of the best professional musicians, there will be some spots in songs whereby the musicians didn't 'lock in' perfectly. In a live show, these tiny spots wouldn't be noticed. Yet this is what goes on behind the scenes for professional recorded albums.
So once Mark has cleaned up countless tracks of each instrument, he then puts the instruments and vocals in a 'rough-mix'. This rough mix is for the producer to get an overview of the song. I then listen ever so carefully to the mix of one song at a time, writing down notes of the levels of the instruments that need to be 'bumped' up or down - that just means volume up or down. I like to produce in 'clean' spacious way. What I mean is that I do not want any instrument competing for noise level with another instrument or vocal. This also applies to the harmonies competing too much with the main vocal. This takes a trained ear as well as 'feeling' a mix. If it seems too crowded, then I ask myself where there is too much collision with instruments or levels of instruments.
Next, Mark and I get back in the studio. He's at the console and I'm in the producer's table five feet back where there is a auditory 'sweet spot' with the studio speakers. We also have headphones to pick up even finer levels, as well as giving our ears a different perspective.
One song at a time, I direct Mark through the necessary changes needed to perfect the production of the song. On my yellow pad, is neatly numbered 'jobs' for each song. Once we make the noted adjustments, he records the 'first mix' of that song. He sends that file to my email via Drop Box. Drop Box allows the transfer of big files so they don't bog down a computer. After working on 2-3 songs, we call it a night. The ears can only take so much. It's super important not to push them past the point where the ability to hear details has declined because they're 'burned-out'.
We book another session in a couple days to then work on more song mixes. Meanwhile, I will have been listening down to Mix 1 of those first songs. I will certainly hear even more 'fixes' (tweaks that need to be adjusted in the mix), that will bring the song further into a more refined production. Sometimes, a song will need 3 to 4 mixes, with the 'fixes' being honed down to minute details of perhaps moving the decibel 1 db up or down of a particular instrument. It is Very knit picking on the final mixes.
On the final mix of the songs, I then must listen under the head phones for any digital pops. This has nothing to do with the actual recording. This just happens in the digital world of music. Once I give the engineer the final OK, he sends me the final files of the album, which then I will send to the Master engineer. Yet before I send the files off to Yes Master Studio for mastering, I need to tackle another job.
I now must ask myself the question, "What should the song order be?" I need to come up with a combination of order whereby the songs create suspense and anticipation. The order would work much like that of a sine wave: defined as the following: (a curve representing periodic oscillations of constant amplitude as given by a since function.)
The first song is like a lead of batter. It needs to be spunky, an attention getter, a solid hitter that will get on first base. The second song needs to be a base hitter, but with a twist of surprise. I prefer the first two songs to be up tempo, not deep, yet sassy and light. The third song changes tempo and is meant to start opening up the listeners heart, know that their mind has been hopefully captured. The forth song is the clean up batter, showcasing the song that will surely open the listeners heart, maybe even yanking some tears. The tempo is similar to the third, slower than the first two songs - a home run hitter! The fifth song, starts to raise in tempo and has elements 'Hope'. The sixth song tempo is faster, with an 'Empowering' message, that's a good-feeler! Now the 7th song brings in humour; because I chose number 8 and 9 to be 'food for thought' songs. Number 10 needs to be Very light, and unpredictable, much like a batter who will bunt, and sprint successfully to 1st base, advancing the other base runners. The 11th song is a lefty, who will drive the ball down 1st base line. And finally, the 12th song is a fast tempo, light, tongue in cheek summer party song that will have the listener turn up the volume and sing along, laughing with the lyrics.
Once I worked and reworked the song order, and having the help of friends and associates input on the order, as well as the title of the CD, I sent the file off to have it mastered.
Mastering basically evens out the tones of the lows, mids and highs, as well as putting the level of the songs all in perfect continuity within the album and at the radio volume level. It's a subtle smoothing out of tones.
The title, as y'all know is LIVING LIFE GRAND. I had two other titles that could have been strong, yet this title came with a vibrant feeling.


It has been estimated that in the UK, a woman's lifetime risk of developing cervical cancer if she does not attend cervical screening (smear test) is 1.7% .
This means that without screening, about one in 60 women will develop cervical cancer. Attending cervical screening can prevent around seven out of ten (70%) cases of cervical cancer , by catching and treating abnormalities before they have a chance to develop into cancer. This means that with screening, about one in 200 women will develop cervical cancer. So not attending cervical screening when invited increases your risk of developing cervical cancer.
Long term use of the contraceptive pill (more than 10 years) can slightly increase the risk of developing cervical cancer but the benefits of the pill outweigh the risks for most women .
It is important to remember that cervical cancer is not caused by promiscuity or infidelity. The above risk factors simply increase your chances of coming into contact with a high-risk type of HPV at some point. However, many women who have only had one sexual partner in their lifetime contract high-risk HPV and may go on to develop cervical abnormalities, also called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which can lead to cervical cancer.
Having a weakened immune system (including being affected by a condition that affects your immune system; eg. HIV, Lupus or organ transplantation).
If you have a weakened immune system you should be screened annually to help to minimise your increased risk. This is usually done outside of the regular NHS National Screening Programme so please check with your health care professional if you are worried about this or would like further information on screening outside of the national programme.
The chemicals found in cigarettes and tobacco can damage the DNA of the cervical cells, which may contribute to the development of abnormalities and cancer .
The intensity of the woman's smoking (the number of cigarettes she smokes a day).
The longer a woman has been smoking for and the higher the intensity of her smoking, the more her risk is of developing cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer .
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a man-made (synthetic) form of oestrogen, a female hormone. Doctors prescribed it from 1938 until 1971 to help some pregnant women who had had miscarriages or premature deliveries in their past. If your mother was given DES while she was pregnant with you, you also have an increased risk of developing cervical abnormalities and, if left untreated, cervical cancer. Your health care professionals will be able to advise you further about these risks.

TIP! You must ascertain the cause of your snoring if you want to end it. Sometimes snoring is the result of a larger, more significant medical problem, and trying to treat the snoring without addressing the core issue will not get rid of it.
Most people do not wish to talk about their snoring problems, which makes finding efficient solutions hard. This is the best article for anyone who wants to stop snoring!
TIP! It can be helpful to make "fish faces" to eliminate snoring. These exercises build your muscles in your throat and face.
Seriously think about quitting smoking if you snore and are a smoker. Smoke can irritate the tissues located in your throat, causing your throat to swell up. Throat inflammation leads to snoring, and snoring, in turn, leads to a sore throat.
TIP! To prevent snoring, make sure your nasal passages are open. Having a nose that is clogged or constricted can contribute to snoring.
One of the best ways to reduce snoring is by ensuring that your nasal passages are kept open. A nose that is clogged or constricted contributes to increased snoring. Use neti pots, steam showers, eucalyptus rubs and humidifiers to keep your nose clear when you are ill. Nasal strips will also work; they keep the nose open to let more air pass through it.
Ask your doctor if any of the prescription, or over-the-counter medications, you're taking could be causing or worsening your snoring. Some medications that you obtain by prescription can have a tendency to make you snore. Prescriptions such as pain killers, muscle relaxants, or antihistamines can cause relaxed muscles and restricted airways. A restricted airway will also contribute to excess snoring.
TIP! In order to decrease your snoring, you need to be getting a lot of excellent exercise. Exercising helps you breathe more evenly, which can reduce snoring in some people.
Being overweight, specifically those with excessive neck fat, are more likely to snore. The excess fatty tissue surrounding the windpipes of overweight people doesn't help the situation. If you're overweight, try to lose a few pounds. You will feel better and look better, and there is a good chance you will sleep better too.
In order to decrease snoring, be as physically active as you can. Workouts tend to regulate breathing rhythms, which can ameliorate snoring problems. Exercise is crucial in keeping your respiratory system working properly, but it is also a good way to relieve stress. If you are stressed out, it can change how you breathe, as well. This can increase your risk of snoring.
TIP! When trying to avoid snoring, try falling asleep on your side each night. Sleeping on your back will help you sleep without snoring.
You can do some exercises to reduce your snoring by placing your tongue behind your front teeth. Move your tongue back toward your throat, and then thrust it forward until it hits the back of your teeth. Repeat this cycle of moving your tongue forward and back for several minutes. This exercise will work your throat muscles, opening airways and helping to minimize your snoring.
Singing aloud is a technique for reducing snoring. Singing helps you strengthen the muscles located in your throat and your palate. When these muscles are toned, your air passages are less likely to narrow at night, and once you fall asleep, snoring should not be an issue.
TIP! Snoring is often caused by eating dairy products, even when lactose intolerance is not present. This is because dairy products encourage phlegm production, which in turn, obstructs your airway both in your nose as well as in your throat.
You should limit physical activity for an hour prior to your bedtime. Physical activity right before sleeping can result in shortness of breath. The lack of breathing will constrict the airways to the mouth and nose, thus resulting in snoring throughout the night.
TIP! Change your sleeping position to help cure your snoring. A lot of snoring is caused by individuals sleeping on their backs.
Consider buying an adjustable bed to help remedy your snoring. By allowing for better vertical orientation, an adjustable bed make a difference. This, in turn, opens your airways, which will help reduce or eliminate snoring.
Are dairy products to blame for your snoring? If you usually eat cheese and drink milk before bed, try giving up this habit for about 10 days to see if your snoring improves. Some people are prone to mucus buildup caused by dairy products. As a result, frequently they snore during sleep. If you find that dairy products are causing your snoring, try consuming them before mid-afternoon.
TIP! Avoid falling asleep on your back, this can reduce the amount of snoring you do in the middle of the night. Attach something to the middle back of your shirt to ensure you don't roll over onto your back.
This article was probably helpful in giving you some direction in figuring out how to deal with your snoring problem. Take what you have learned here and use it, and before you know it, you are likely to see a reduction in your snoring.

Since 2006 Dartmouth High School (now Q3 Academy) has been building bird boxes for Red House Park. The wood for the bird boxes has been acquired through a joint venture with The Friends, Great Barr Sawmills and The Rotary Club, with the wood being delivered to the School.
Seen here are Stephen Sidhu, Stephen Rooker and Ethan Tolley, from Dartmouth School as the first of the bird boxes are installed.
The school is very keen to be involved in any community projects in the park and Dartmouth High School pupils have attended the Friends Environment Day and helped litter pick.

(1) In a dispute arising under a building contract based upon the JCT 1998 standard form of contract, Private Without Quantities with Contractor's Design Portion, an adjudicator was entitled to award a contractor interest on sums which had not been certified by the architect. (2) It was more likely than not that the contractor would not be able to repay the whole of the sum awarded by the adjudicator if ordered to do so but would be able to repay a major part of it. However, the Court would not, in the particular circumstances of this case, order a stay of execution either in whole or in part of its judgment enforcing the award.
In October 2003 Corinthian Nominees Limited ("Corinthian") entered into a building contract with Partner Projects Limited ("PPL") under which PPL was to construct a new five bedroom house.
The contract was in the form of the JCT Standard Form of Building Contract, Private Without Quantities with Contractor's Design Portion, 1998 edition. Clause 30.1.1.1 provided that the Architect was to issue Interim Certificates stating the amount due to PPL, that the final date for payment pursuant to an Interim Certificate was to be 14 days from the date of the Certificate, and that if Corinthian failed to pay the amount due to PPL by the final date for payment, Corinthian were to pay interest at the rate of 5% over Bank of England Base Rate current at the date the payment became overdue. Clause 41 provided for disputes to be referred to adjudication, and clause 41A.5.5.8 empowered the adjudicator, in his decision, to decide the circumstances in which and the period for which interest should be paid, having regard to any term of the contract relating to the payment of interest.
The contract did not proceed smoothly and PPL made substantial claims for variations, delay and significant increased costs and expenses resulting from the alleged delays and design changes. PPL referred these claims to adjudication.
In September 2011, the Adjudicator decided that Corinthian should pay PPL the sum of £850,509.35, which included an amount of £203,420.48 in respect of interest.
PPL applied to the Court for summary judgment to enforce the decision. Corinthian resisted the application on the ground that the interest element of the decision was made without jurisdiction with the result that the decision as a whole was unenforceable. Alternatively, Corinthian argued that any judgment be stayed pending the determination of Corinthian's defence and counterclaim.
Whether the adjudicator had been entitled to award interest on sums which had not been certified by the architect.
If summary judgement was granted, whether execution of it should be stayed pending the trial, which was likely to take place in the Autumn of 2012.
Clause 30.1.1.1 did not confer a power to award interest on sums which had not been certified; however, the Adjudicator was able to award sums greater than those certified by the architect because the contract gave him the power under clause 41A.5.5 to open up and review certificates.
In his award, the Adjudicator had opened up, reviewed and revised the architect's certificates and substituted for the sums actually certified the sum that he considered should have been certified. Thus the effect of the Adjudicator's decision was to substitute for the sums certified by the architect in the certificates the sums found due by the Adjudicator. Once this had been done, the Adjudicator was entitled to award interest on the sums due under the corrected certificates. This was not an excess of jurisdiction.
In any event, the Notice of Intention to refer the dispute to adjudication had specifically invited the Adjudicator to decide whether, pursuant to clause 30.1.1.1 of the Conditions, PPL was entitled to interest on the sum found due to it. Accordingly, the question of PPL's entitlement to interest under clause 30.1.1.1 on sums that had not been certified was squarely covered by the Adjudicator's terms of reference. Thus, even if the Adjudicator had concluded that PPL was entitled to interest under clause 30.1.1.1 when, on a true construction of that clause, it was not entitled to such interest, he would have made an error of law when determining a question that had actually been referred to him. It would not have been a case of answering the wrong question but of answering the right question in the wrong way. It was well settled that the latter did not afford a ground for challenging an adjudicator's decision.
On the financial information made available by the parties, it was more likely than not that PPL would not be able to repay the whole of the £850,000 if ordered to do so in October/November 2012, but that it would be able to repay a major part of it.
PPL's present financial position had been brought about to a significant extent by the default of Corinthian in failing to pay the sums that the Adjudicator had now found were due.
It appeared that between 2003 and 2006 Corinthian was trading whilst insolvent. The Court was entitled to take this into account when exercising its discretion whether or not to grant a stay.
PPL genuinely wished to try and trade itself out of its present indebtedness if it could do so. It would only be able to do so if it received payment of the sum awarded by the adjudicator.
Having regard to all the above matters, execution of the judgment should not be stayed in whole or in part.

Once upon a time – it was in 1965 – the god of hillwalkers and climbers had compassion on her growing number of devotees and the Mountain Bothy Association (MBA) was born. Over 50 years later, a surprising number of people – even of long-distance walkers – have never heard of bothies or don't know what they are. This is rather sad, though in another way rather excellent for those who do use them.
A bothy is usually (there are exceptions such as the Beehive Bothy at Laggangairn on the Southern Upland Way, which is modern and purpose-built) a no-longer-useful shepherd's or stalker's or gamekeeper's or estate-hand's or someone's erstwhile home: a redundant little house, a long way off any road. The roof is (usually) rain-proofed; the windows are (usually) glazed, and the door is unlocked. Inside, there is usually a fireplace, some wooden slatted sleeping platforms, a spade for you-can-guess-what and not much else. You will need to bring a sleeping bag and your food.
Sara Maitland: what is meant by the word countryside?
Sometimes there is rubbish left by someone more uncouth and selfish than you are going to be; sometimes there are other walkers already settled in. If there's room, you'll be welcomed and if it's full, bad luck. (I have to say I have never been to a bothy and not found space.) Bothies are free and you cannot book in advance. The MBA manages and maintains just over 100 of these bothies – the majority of them in Scotland, but some in England and Wales – though it only owns one. The rest belong to the landowner, who can occasionally close them (for instance for stalking or during lambing) so check online before you go.
There are some basic rules, described as a "code": respect the bothy (this means, inter alia clean up and douse the fire before you leave); respect other users; respect the surroundings; respect the agreement with the owner; respect the limits on numbers (groups of more than six, especially commercial ones, are not welcome); don't stay too long. Oh, and sign the Bothy Book (it is not part of the code that you should read previous entries in the book, but I bet you do: it feels irresistible and companionable).
Another rather delightful aspect of the MBA is that all the repair and maintenance work is done by the members in 'work camps' – sort of 'useful' party events, which are well organised and for which no enormous skill is required, although obviously a certain level of fitness is needed. One of my nephews is a member of the MBA and goes on work camps regularly, because, he says, it feels so good to do something that is both enormous fun and socially useful in some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain (not just win-win, but win-win-win!).
And it seems to me that if you are one of those people who feels a deep longing for truly wild places, but also, perhaps sensibly, a bit nervous of just heading out there, then paying out £25 (or £15 if you are under 16, over 65 or otherwise eligible) for membership and signing up for a work party would be a rather glorious way of realising that longing. You get some supervision, you meet like-minded people sharing a desirable task, and you spend healthy time in some of the most spectacular, isolated, lovely wild places. Look at the images of bothies on the MBA website (mountain bothies.org.uk) and you will see what I mean.


GUEST IN LONDON is a film which, organically belongs to Paresh Rawal, right from the word go. Hence, it's really a shame that a superlative actor of Paresh Rawal's stature chose to feature in such a poorly set-up film. All that Paresh Rawal's character does in the film is to fart and ham at every given occasion. It's really sad to see a seasoned performer like Paresh Rawal agreeing to be a part of a senseless film like GUEST IN LONDON. Kartik Aaryan does an average job and looks confused throughout the film. His character in the film is as lost in the film as he must have been about the film's script. It's about time for this man shows some variety if he is planning for a long inning in Bollywood. Tanvi Azmi does a decent job in the film within the space that she is offered. On the other hand, after having done the horror film RAAZ: REBOOT, Kriti Kharbanda lands up doing an average job within the available screen time in GUEST IIN LONDON. Sanjay Mishra has his share of comical moments and is strictly restricted to the film's first half only. Other supporting cast does an average job.
I can totally empathise with Kartik Aaryan. Poor guy looks good, dances well, does his gags well, but eventually ends up playing the second fiddle to Rawal. Kartik has a likeable vibe, but that gets drowned in Rawal's perennial farting. The only genuine laughable scene in this 138-minute film comes when Kirti Kharbanda says, "Ye thodi zyada acting hai, ye overacting hai." We second you Kirti. Don't let this guest come anywhere near your house. Stay alert, stay safe.
Every line, every scene gives you an impression that it was written by an ill-informed man-child who primarily believes in three things: farting is funny, women belong in the kitchen and all Pakistanis are thieves. 90 per cent of the jokes from the movie can be classified under one of those three categories. The funniest thing about this comedy is just how angry it can make you. Guest iin London, like its titular protagonist, is a burden no one should have to bear.
The avuncular character, whom everybody starts calling "Chachaji", is in many ways as offensively funny as he is insufferable with sexist jokes, objectionable witticism and consistent poor acting, and makes you blush, and wonder if you are watching the award-winning Rawal in this film. And that's only one of the many reasons why the film is such a colossal comedic misfire that it makes the deplorably dreadful look like masterworks by comparison. It seems the business of competently executing a joke seems utterly beyond the grasp of good actors like Aaryan, Rawal and Azmi, who rely on gags so hoary and broad, they'd make you cringe.
Bollywood has a serious dearth of good comedies, and unfortunately, Guest Iin London does little to help the cause. If you loved Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge, you better skip this one, for this is nothing but a poor, low-quality reboot of the 2010 movie. Watch it at your own risk.
Guest Iin London is supposed to be a comedy, but laden with offensive jokes, Paresh Rawal's farts and poorly scripted characters, the film is painful to watch.
Post interval, you don't get even a whiff of the boss; instead the filmmaker contrives another twist that makes Guest Iin London a teary-eyed family saga instead of a comedy. Yet another twist is Ajay Devgn's entry, but find out more about that when you watch the film, if you dare to. If only Ashwini Dhir had more Paresh Rawal-Sanjay Mishra scenes it would have been much more of a comedy that the filmmaker wanted to make.
Do you find an unending series of fart jokes, accompanied by loud sound and smell, and descriptions thereof, funny? Do cheap racist shots (blackface, mehendi-orange-beard and green-for-Muslim, slant-eyed-for-Chinese) make you laugh out loud? Do you think crude jokes should be strewn liberally in your weekly flick fix? Should a gag, abysmally executed in the first place, be stretched out like a rubber band to keep you rolling in the aisles? These are elements that 'Guest Iin London', a follow-up to 'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge', has in abundance. It also has a couple of vacuous younger leads saddled with a middle-aged couple which refuses to leave : Paresh Rawal being the proud possessor of a noisome rear end, and Tanvi Azmi, the only one I feel for, trying to make the best of a terrible job.
Sadly, Guest Iin London is the kind of film that demands that you leave not only your brains, but also your hearts, home. It appears to have been made by people high on the Patiala pegs that receive a mention on several occasions during the mayhem. Guest Iin London rests on the Punjabi stereotypes of robust, hard-drinking, glib-talking men who love to live it up until matters turn truly serious.
With few comic elements to boast of, the film struggles to keep the audience hooked. Its use of toilet humour – a scene has Rawal describing the sorry state of affairs in India by correlating it to his farts — may leave you puzzled rather than in splits. The chemistry between Aaryan and Kharbanda is non-existent. Rawal and Azmi, though, are endearing as the older couple. The plot is predictable and the comedy, forced. Revisiting the old film may be a better alternative.
Kartik Aaryan is as determined in playing victim as he was as a lovesick lad in Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Kriti Kharbanda largely relies on puppy faces to deliver her role, even while she's come a long way from Raaz: Reboot. Once a character actor who could elevate a film, Paresh Rawal still has what it takes to knock up a chuckle. But terrible lines and worse characterisation render him as a loud and laboured caricature of his iconic screen avatars. Tanvi Azmi, as the amiable Guddi Chachi, has little to do here — her character largely smiles through the proceedings and offers reasons for her husband's explosive farts.
Ashwni Dhir makes his weakest film over here. An accomplished actor like Paresh Rawal didn't get much scope to do anything new and he keeps on farting which becomes a bit too much in the end. Kartik Aaryan is strictly okay, Tanvi Azmi is fine. Kriti Kharbanda is plain average. Sanjay Mishra shines in that moment when he says 'Kashmir'. Technicalities are fine, camerawork by Sudhir K. Chaudhary is pleasing and production values are fantastic. However editing by Manan Sagar leaves lot to be desired, the movie is long by at least 25 minutes. Music by Raghav Sachar and Amit Mishra is just plain with nothing to hum about.
The movie starts with a couple of enjoyable scenes such as Paresh Rawal's airplane journey, Paresh manipulates others by the usage of his sweet language. Sanjay Mishra being trashed by Paresh Rawal followed by a mild twist in the finale. These are the only funny scenes in the film, which is termed as an out and out comedy. Sanjay Mishra's cameo is welcomed. Tanvi Azmi lends good support.
What stays with us beyond the bustle of humorous confederation is the message that we need to respect personal space, but not at the cost of family ties. And when Kartik dumps his overbearing uncle and aunt at a deserted café we are dealt blow that goes far beyond the film's comic aspirations.
Rawal farts in almost every scene and this is supposed to be funny for some reason. The makers loved the idea of humour about flatulence that they included a scene in which Paresh's character sings an entire 'ghazal' about farts, which is really a bit too much. Of course, the second half has to include an emotional angle about the guests to make the hosts feel bad about their feelings towards the guests, but even this is not done effectively enough. The songs are not worth remembering and to top it all, the makers also included some 'sanskaari' sexism (In a scene, Tanvi states that doing household work is a woman's job and in another scene, Paresh scolds the female lead for wearing a short dress and insists that she appears 'fully clothed' in their presence).
Nothing interesting at Indicine today. Looks the weekend will be boring here also. Signing off ….
tublight 2.7 disaster from these rating I consider crictics blind.
Critics reviews r bad because Paresh Rawal is from BJP.
Aailaaaa! sachin 3.7???!! Lolz !

It's certainly no secret that the popular 90's choker trend has made a massive comeback! It's been spotted all over the red carpet, in all shapes and sizes on celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Katy Perry and Rihanna and shows no sign of slowing down.
Some of you may wonder if this trend's for you or whther you'll be able to pull it off, which is why we got our lovely bloggers from the Lovebug Club to show you all the different ways you can style this EPIC trend. Truth is, you can really make this trend your own by styling it the way you want. You could keep it simple with a plain black band, or a sleek silver chain, or take it up a notch by adding some lace, studs or crystals.
Just keep in mind a few basic tips!
Wider neck lines look better when sporting the choker since it really accentuates those collar bones.
We absolutely love the off-shoulder and choker combination- A MUST TRY.
You might want to avoid long and dressy earrings while wearing your choker, it may land up looking over accessorized around the neck and shoulder area. Slimmer earrings or small studs might work better.
If you dig the goth look, buy a thick black strip of velvet or satin from any fabric shop, cut it to the size of your neck and simply tie it up! Try stringing a chunky pendant to make a statement.
If you want to get a bit adventurous, try layering your chokers with chains of different lengths, still keeping it very delicate with thin chains and small pendants.
DIY TIP: Laces, strings and ribbons lying around in the house make for super cute chokers! Experiment with different types of tassels, studs, pendants and beads of your choice. Go on, get creative!

Call Of Duty: Black Ops II Will Let Players Live Stream Gameplay On YouTube
By Oliver Haslam | November 9th, 2012
The world of eSports is continually growing, with Starcraft possibly the biggest of the lot. Activision has always wanted the Call of Duty games to be part of the eSports movement, but with its proliferation of run and gun gamers, the gameplay and level of competition has always just fallen short. With Call of Duty: Black Ops II however, Activision is hoping to change all that.
To be released on November 13th, the affectionately named BLOPS2 will feature a new League Play live streaming feature that will potentially help propel the game onto a whole new level for multiplayer gamers.
Using the power of YouTube, BLOPS2 will allow gamers to stream their matches live, across the internet, allowing people to watch the action unfold in real-time. The new feature has been mooted for a while now, but this is the first confirmation we have had, just five days before the game goes on sale.
Interestingly, the live streaming feature has only been confirmed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, with no mention at all of the PC flavor. That may simply be an oversight, or it may be a case of console gamers receiving an improved version of the game when compared to their PC-toting counterparts.
Those who subscribe to Activision's Call of Duty Elite service will also be able to dig deeper into gamers' history, with the ability to view match data and the like. This comes at a $50-per year premium, however, but Call of Duty's diehard fans will happily pay up.
The use of YouTube as the game's live streaming partner is an interesting one, with plenty of competition around the multiplayer streaming world these days. Google is perhaps best suited to streaming to large numbers of people, however, and we'd be interested to see if there is some kind of shared ad revenue model in place for the streamed matches. Google does like to make money, and this could be a great way of doing just that.
With just a few days to go before BLOPS2 hits store shelves, we won't have to wait much longer before all our questions are answered.

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches.

She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her six most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
Women are so special! God's very own creation!
A baby was about to be born, the child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach how to speak."
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its own life."
"You will simply call her 'MOM.'"
You are special because you are the extension of me. Man represents my image--Woman, my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.
Be thankful for all the women in your life—not just mothers, but grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, etc.

Q: Retrieving SQLite data of one table from multiple values in a specific column of another table I have 2 tables in SQLite (one containing Image Meta Data and other containing the geographical region where the image is captured). Both these table contain "ImageName" as a unique feature/key.
Now, I need to fetch Image metadata for a specific combination of regions. I have a query something like below,
SELECT * FROM IMG_META where ImageName = (SELECT ImageName from IMG_REGION where Country = 'denmark' or Country = 'Germany')

On querying second select statement alone, it returns 7 Image names (1 from w.r.t and 6 w.r.t Germany). But, when the same query is used as mentioned below, I am not able to fetch any data.
I am aware that the query would not work as I'm trying to provide 7 value to a "ImageName" of first select statement as the query expects single "ImageName". Query works when I fetch single Image name from second select statement.
I need to fetch Image Meta-data (First table data) for all 7 Image names which is returned from second select statement.
Any approach to achieve this goal?

A: To get matching data for two table use join:
SELECT * FROM IMG_META
JOIN IMG_REGION ON IMG_META.ImageName=IMG_REGION.ImageName
WHERE IMG_REGION.Country = 'denmark' or IMG_REGION.Country = 'Germany'
