President Granger commits to addressing mining issues – at interactive business luncheon
Georgetown, Guyana – (September 6, 2019): President David Granger, this afternoon, hosted an interactive business luncheon for members of the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA), the National Mining Syndicate (NMS) and the Guyana Women Miners Organisation (GWMO) at the Baridi Benab, State House Compound.
The President, in brief remarks, said the gold and diamond mining sector which has been in existence for 150 years will remain vital to the country's economy even with the advent of oil production.
"The gold and diamond mining business is here to stay. We are not here to sign a death warrant," President Granger said, even as he assured stakeholders that the Government is committed to continuing its support to the sustainable development of the sector.
"The mining industry, over 100 years old, has contributed immensely and still contributes immensely to Guyana's GDP [Gross Domestic Product]; it contributes to thousands of households," the President said.
Gold declarations last year stood at 613, 073 ounces while diamond declarations totalled 62,111 metric carats. Small-and-medium scale miners contributed significantly to the level of production with 58.5 per cent of the total national declarations last year.
"It [gold] is not a bush industry, it is an important part of the Guyanese economy and the Government cannot make that industry more important without your participation," the President stated.
However gold mining, despite its contributions, has had harmful effects on the environment and President Granger reminded that the Government is committed to the protection of the environment.
The President said Government's policy on gold and diamond mining aims at ensuring sustainable mining. He outlined five areas which are to be incorporated into the national mining policy: human safety and security, environmental safety and health, the enforcement of mining laws and regulations, infrastructural development and the technological advancement of the sector.
The Head of State reminded that the use of mercury is not only harmful to the environment but can have adverse effects on human health. Guyana is a signatory to the Minamata Convention on Mercury and has set itself the goal of reducing mercury emissions by 55 per cent by 2022 and eliminating the use of same by 2027.
President Granger called on the stakeholders at the event, which included Government ministers and officials from the various agencies responsible for the sector, to work together to solve all existing problems. He urged the miners to speak frankly about their problems and to make recommendations which would be considered by the Government.
During the interaction, President of the GGDMA, Mr. Terrence Adams raised concerns about the deplorable state of the roadways which lead to mining communities and what he described as a need for more government concessions.
"The interior roads have been an issue for years and I think the issuing of contracts on the roads is not done in a timely manner. If we can't get into the interior to do our work, then the cost will go up and we will have less declarations and that won't benefit the country," Mr. Adams said.
Ms. Urica Primus, President of the GWMO and Ms. Cheryl Williams, President of the NMS shared similar concerns. Ms. Primus asked for the Government's assistance in the phasing out of the use of mercury particularly in the case of small-scale miners who cannot readily afford the alternatives to mercury.
"It would be excessively helpful for a revolving fund to be created to help miners move to mercury-free mining. We understand the Government has a National Action Plan. We understand that we will not be able to work the same way forever but at the same time, we want the Government to understand it is not that miners are set in their ways, it is just that they may not be able to afford all at once," Ms. Primus explained.
The GWMO president asked whether the Government would be able to render assistance to the mining industry. "How would miners be assisted? At this point, we do not have any
alternatives to mercury but at the same time, we have the years that are counting down for us," she said.
In response to the concerns raised, the President said, "The recommendation that Government must take a step forward to provide the techniques and resources to help to wean the artisanal miners off of it [mercury]… this is something we will have to work on together."
The Head of State also said Government is working towards a Decade of Development from 2020-2029 and would welcome recommendations from the mining sector. He explained that the Ministry of Finance along with other stakeholders, will have to develop a strategic plan for the nation.
The President said that infrastructure is important, along with the safety and security of those who operate in the mining sector and as such he expects that within a short period of time, the Police Divisional structure will be modified to ensure that there is more security across hinterland locations. "We need to protect our miners," the President said, even as he referenced the Crops of Wardens attached to the Ministry of Natural Resources.
As it relates to taxation and concessions, the Head of State said the Government is heavily dependent on revenues and assured that Minister of Finance, Mr. Winston Jordan, who was also at the luncheon, will have to examine issues related to concessions and taxation.
"It is an aspect of Government policy which is continuously under review. To the extent that we could get proceeds, profits or revenues from other sources, I would encourage him [Minister Jordan] to examine ways and means of looking at these concessions. We don't want a 'higgly piggly' taxation in which we give 'A' and 'B' concessions because 'C' and 'D' will demand concessions as well. One of the tasks of the GRA [Guyana Revenue Authority] is to try to eliminate anomalies…so that the taxation regime not only brings in more revenue but at the same time is fair and is not subject to the type of abuse which could occur when you have too many loopholes. This is one area which we are prepared to examine," the President said.
President Granger further said, that the mining industry is one which needs to be properly regulated. "We have to remove mining from the 'ad hockery' which has plagued it for such a long time that people do not regard it as a settled industry where you can go and live and have children, schools and hospitals. It is important to have settled communities with proper infrastructure. I don't dismiss the idea of housing schemes, schools [so] that the children of miners could get the same quality education in any part of the country, wherever you live," the Head of State said in response to a request for the establishment of housing schemes for miners.
In concluding the interactive session, the Head of State said, "The Government needs, Guyana needs the mining industry."
It is expected that the three mining organisations will submit a memorandum containing all of the concerns and recommendations to the Head of State for consideration.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, the Ministers of Public Security, Indigenous Peoples' Affairs, Business, Foreign Affairs, Communities, Social Cohesion and Citizenship; Members of the Board of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), Chairman of the Guyana Gold Board, and representatives of the various mining organisations also attended the business luncheon.
Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Raphael Trotman is currently in Colombia attending a Presidential Summit for the Amazon Rainforest.

Q: Cannot pass file paths as command line argument where path contains space? I have a C# GUI allowing a user to select a file and then run this against objdump, outputting the content to the GUI.
However, I am having problems when the user selects a file where the path contains spaces, it causes the command line execution to break.
I had a look around Stackoverflow and there seem to be all these hacks for Windows scripting because paths with spaces aren't easy to solve. However, as I am passing the file name programatically I cannot do this/is there an easier way?
This is my code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    DialogResult result = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
    if (result == DialogResult.OK){
        dataGridView1.Rows.Clear();
        dataGridView1.Refresh();

        string filename = openFileDialog1.FileName;           //May contain spaces
        try
            {
                var proc = new Process
                {
                    StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
                    {
                        FileName = "dumpbin.exe",
                        Arguments = "/DISASM " + filename,    // Causing this to fail
                        UseShellExecute = false,
                        RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                        CreateNoWindow = true
                    }
                };

                proc.Start();

A: You need to wrap the filename with double quotes, just like you normally would from command line.
Try this:
Arguments = "/DISASM \"" + filename + "\"",

A: Try to put quotes around the path
pSInfo.Argument = @"""c:\test cases\testfile.csv""";

or if you prefer
pSInfo.Argument = "\"c:\\test cases\\testfile.csv\"";

A: Use quotes around the filename:
Arguments = $"/DISASM \"{filename}\"",

Mauricio Herdocia Sacasa (León, 1 de agosto de 1957 - Managua, 21 de enero de 2021) fue un jurista, litigante, académico, experto en derecho internacional, diplomático, profesor y rector universitario nicaragüense. Árbitro, asesor y consultor en diferentes organismos y programas internacionales, representante de Nicaragua en disputas fronterizas, ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia en La Haya. Miembro de la Academia de Geografía e Historia de Nicaragua.

Realizó importantes contribuciones a la política territorial soberana de Nicaragua y al proceso de integración regional de América Central.

Biografía
Mauricio Herdocia nació en León, el 1 de agosto de 1957. Su padre se exilió en México durante el inicio del régimen de Anastasio Somoza García. Herdocia estudió en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (León), con profesores prominentes como Edgardo Buitrago,Rafael Ortega Aguilar y Haydée Flores.

En 1981 se graduó como abogado y notario público, además estudió en el Instituto de Derecho Internacional de La Haya.

A principios de la década de 1980 fue negociador en el proceso de paz auspiciado por el Grupo de Contadora y el Grupo de Apoyo a Contadora, dirigido a mediar en la crisis y en los conflictos armados imperantes en la región centroamericana, que culminaron con el Acta de Contadora para la Paz y la Cooperación en Centroamérica, del 6 de agosto de 1986. También fue negociador en los Acuerdos de Paz de Esquipulas II, suscritos el 7 de agosto de 1987, que institucionalizaron la Reunión de Presidentes Centroamericanos y lanzaron la iniciativa referente al Parlamento Centroamericano.

Tras la derrota electoral del FSLN, en febrero de 1990, Herdocia logró continuar trabajando en la Cancillería, bajo el nuevo Gobierno conservador de Violeta Chamorro, y comenzó a trabajar en la creación del nuevo Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA), contribuyendo en la redacción del Protocolo de Tegucigalpa, además de la redacción y negociación de otros importantes acuerdos, como el Tratado Marco de Seguridad Democrática en Centroamérica de 1995.

Entre 1985 y 1997 Herdocia fungió como embajador y coordinador de la instancia asesora del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Nicaragua, para asuntos jurídicos, territoriales y de política exterior. En este periodo se plantearon 2 demandas y una solicitud ante la Corte internacional de Justicia de la Haya, que resultaron de gran relevancia histórica en la política territorial del país.

Fue Secretario General Interino de la Secretaría General del SICA, fue también el primer nicaragüense electo a la Comisión de Derecho Internacional de las Naciones Unidas, durante el quinquenio 1997-2001. Posteriormente fue miembro del Comité Jurídico Interamericano de la Organización de los Estados Americanos. Entre los años 2003 y 2010 desempeñó la presidencia del Comité Jurídico Interamericano y en el año 2006 presidió los actos conmemorativos del centenario de dicho comité.

Desde 2008 fungió como Presidente del Instituto Centroamericano de Integración (ICI), del Centro de Estudios Internacionales para la Solución de Controversias (CEISC) y como asesor de la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPESCA).

En su tesis "La Otra Nicaragua en el Mar", Herdocia aborda el diferendo territorial entre Colombia y Nicaragua, no únicamente en la posesión de las islas de San Andrés y Providencia, sino en el derecho que tiene Nicaragua sobre el mar que se extiende mucho más allá del meridiano 82. Este trabajo fue incluido por la Comisión Territorial de Nicaragua en la demanda ante la CIJ, que culminó en el histórico fallo de noviembre de 2012, en el que se reconoció la soberanía de Nicaragua; sobre una extensión de plataforma marítima de 180.000 km², en 200 millas náuticas desde su costa.

Fallecimiento
Falleció en Managua, el 21 de enero de 2021 a los 63 años de edad, tras sufrir un infarto fulminante, siendo a esa fecha rector de la Universidad American College.

The leukocyte integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) contributes to binding of human granulocytes to collagen
Barbara Walzog, Detlef Schuppan, Caroline Heimpel, Ali Hafezi-Moghadam, Peter Gaehtgens, Klaus Ley
Adhesion of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) to extracellular matrix proteins has been shown to be important for their migration in vitro and is thought to participate in PMN recruitment to sites of inflammation. Isolated human PMN stimulated with PMA were found to adhere best to microtiter wells coated with the novel ECM glycoprotein indulin (27 ± 3% of PMNs added), followed by fibrinogen (25 ± 2%), collagen type VI (18 ± 2%), fibronectin (16 ± 2%), and laminin (15 ± 3%). PMN adhesion to other collagens ranged between 3 and 11%. Monoclonal antibodies recognizing CD18 and CD11b subunits of Mac-1 inhibited adhesion of PMN to collagens by an order of magnitude more effectively than to all noncollagenous substrates. F(ab')2 fragments of the anti-CD18 antibody were also able to block adhesion to collagens. Anti-LFA-1 (CD11a) and anti-CD44 antibodies did not significantly reduce adhesion. PMN adhesion was also inhibited by soluble collagens type II and VI (ID50 approximately 75 μg/ml). Binding of soluble radiolabeled collagens type II and VI to PMNs was specific and saturable with apparent dissociation constants of 2.2 and 1.9 nM, respectively, and specific binding of collagens type II and VI was almost completely inhibited by anti-CD18, but not by control antibodies. These data indicate that Mac-1 function is required for binding of human PMN to collagens.

Guest Author, U.S. Military
"Do the generals have too much power?"
That was the prompt I was originally asked to answer on a recent panel which discussed the relationship between civilian society and its armed forces.
My answer was, perhaps not surprisingly as a mid-career U.S. Army officer, a firm "No." Military leaders do not have too much power. But to ask that question of someone in uniform is a little like asking a servant on Downton Abbey whether they think the master, Lord Grantham, has given the "downstairs" servants too much power. A servant's answer, I suspect, would be something like, "the servants have as much power as Lord Grantham thinks we need." I feel the same way.
Setting that issue aside, I drove the discussion in the direction of another issue I think matters a little more. Too often, when we talk about the relationship between civilians and their military, we quickly gravitate upward, toward presidents, prime ministers, generals and admirals. Instead, I think we ought to consider that "downstairs" perspective for a moment, because there's a lot going on, and it's not all good.
I believe we should be concerned with growing partisanship in the U.S. military that is threatening our military's fundamental norm of non-partisanship. The military has long held on to non-partisanship to prevent politics from dividing our troops and separating us from society. But this supremely important norm appears to be changing—for the worse.
I come at this as someone who is experiencing this shift as it happens. A year and a half ago, I was serving in a headquarters in Korea during the presidential primary season. We would huddle in a bunker watching the presidential debates—the partisan invective spilled from the screen and divided the soldiers that were there. I stood next to a Mexican-American soldier and I could almost physically watch his skin crawl.
When I returned from that assignment to a base in Colorado, I was greeted at my new desk not by a smiling colleague, but by a continuous supply of robo-calls from one of the political parties, because, at my military phone at my military desk, one of the previous occupants had been aligned with a political party. That shouldn't be the case.
So I started digging into the numbers. And in one generation we've seen a marked shift in partisanship within the military. In 1976, when surveyed, 55 percent of officers said they were "independent" or "non-partisan" or "unaffiliated" with a party. In 2009, the same question was asked and the number was down to 16 percent. (And I'm sure there are newer figures in Dr. Kori Schake's most recent book, Warriors and Citizens).
Behavior-wise, when surveyed in 2010, 27 percent of officers said that another officer had tried to influence their vote in the 2008 election cycle. This was followed five years later by Col. Heidi Urben's 2015 study of 500 West Point cadets and National Defense University colonels which found that over one-third had observed or shared insulting, rude, or disdainful comments about elected leaders.
Perhaps the modern era of politicization in the military has its origins in the now-common trend of retired officers endorsing presidential candidates. The moment of inception was in the early 1990s, when one retired admiral endorsed one candidate, Bill Clinton. We now expect that every election cycle there will be hundreds of retired officers endorsing presidential candidates.
So there has been a marked shift in a generation. I was just at a conference at West Point where we were talking about these issues and some very smart people said "there's no crisis," adding that, "absent a physical threat by the uniformed military, against the civilian leadership, we don't have a problem."
But I think that's the wrong standard. Just as peace isn't the absence of war, healthy civil-military relations is not the absence of an imminent coup.
To me, this indicates a major part of the problem, which is that we don't agree on the problem! We think that things could get bad but we don't all agree on when they'll get really bad. It's as if we've all jumped off a building and we're arguing about where the cement floor is.
But we know there is a cement floor. My remarks were on April 9th, which was 153 years on from the day when Gen. Robert E. Lee, West Point Class of 1829, surrendered to Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, West Point Class of 1843 at Appomattox Court House to end the Civil War. That war was only so devastatingly possible because 27 percent of West Point graduates (from the decades leading up to the war) chose active partisan politics, voted with their feet for secession, and took up arms against the U.S. government.
That sounds alarmist. It's not meant to be. We have the chance to address this now, while it is still a problem that relatively few Americans worry about. It's time for the military to act as the profession that it is and start purging this corrosive partisanship. Given the stakes, this is a mission we must not fail.
This article is an unofficial expression of opinion; the views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily those of West Point, the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or any agency of the US government.

None but ourselves can free our minds…
Colonisation by European countries has been the experience of the majority of countries in the world, sometimes up to 400 years, a legacy of which has been colonisation of the mind.
The decolonisation of education is still a painfully slow process despite Independence, but it has gained momentum across the world, thanks to the added impetus of the Black Lives Matter movement.
United Kingdom-based Times Higher Education found in a recent public opinion survey that 32 per cent of respondents agree that the killing of Black American Mr George Floyd changed their views on the importance or urgency of decolonising high school curriculum.
It is important, of course, that diversity of the student body accompanies new curriculum changes, otherwise there will be no demand for these changes. Creating a movement for change is much more difficult to achieve than changing curriculum, given the history of colonisation.
Jamaica's National Hero Marcus Garvey called for the decolonisation of education from the 1920s, but it did not sink in until reggae icon Mr Bob Marley popularised Mr Garvey's words: "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind."
Late into the 1960s Jamaicans were taking exams set by Cambridge University in England, testing knowledge of curricula in history, literature, and geography that did not include anything on the Caribbean and Africa. The textbooks written and printed in England contained ideas which denigrated African and Caribbean culture and history.
The change has been slow, but exams are now being administered in the Caribbean, curricula have been Caribbeanised, and most of the textbooks are written in the region. Commendation to The University of the West Indies for being in the vanguard of this process.
The remnants of mental colonialism continue in the skin bleaching and the valuing of foreign products over their local counterparts. The decolonisation of education is taking place in a world in which institutional racism ensures that universities in the Western world are still teaching racially biased material and only a relatively small percentage of black students graduate from tertiary level institutions.
Not surprisingly, blacks have never realised their full educational potential; hence, only one black person, St Lucian Sir Arthur Lewis, has been awarded a Nobel Prize in science in over 100 years.
The decolonisation of education has a far way to go, because,what blacks are learning still has little relevant content, and even that is biased. It is not enough to have a course in African history; equally important is the content and perspective.
The decolonisation of the curriculum, it must be said, is not an end in itself. It must more adequately prepare graduates at all levels to be constructive citizens with the skills to succeed in a modern, rapidly changing, globalised world.
Sadly, Western media consistently under-represent black people, their culture, and their issues. For example, the coverage of Africa is virtually absent from regular newscasts and relegated to special half-hour programmes.
The decolonisation of our minds, of course, must be the responsibility of each of us. No use waiting on others to do it.

Bill Wyman Diagnosed With Cancer
Jeff Giles Published: March 8, 2016
Ben Pruchnie
Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Word of Wyman's condition comes courtesy of the Stones' press office, where reps released a statement that reads, "He is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery, as it was caught in the early stages. The Wyman family has asked for their privacy during this time."
Wyman's lengthy tenure with the Stones started in December 1962, when he auditioned to replace Dick Taylor, and ended with his retirement from the lineup in 1993. In the years after his departure, he fronted a new band he called the Rhythm Kings, and released several studio efforts with the group. He also joined the Stones onstage for a couple of London shows during their 50th anniversary tour in 2012.
After a lengthy hiatus from recording, Wyman returned in 2015 with his first solo LP in years, titled Back to Basics. Partly comprised of old demos he'd stumbled across in his collection, it seemed to suggest the start of some more sustained activity from Wyman, who joked about taking inspiration from some of his musical heroes' career longevity. "Initially I thought I'm a bit old for this," he explained. "But then I thought all the old blues musicians played till they dropped, so why don't I give it a go?"
Outside music, Wyman has remained busy as a restaurateur, a photographer and even endorsed his own line of official metal detectors, as well as publishing a coffee-table book of personal photos and effects. "I've always been very fortunate that, whenever I put my hand to something, something amazing happens," he told Rolling Stone in 2013. "I meet incredible people and I go off on these fantastic tangents with other projects and it's so exciting. It's much better than just playing rock 'n' roll all your life."

Pharmaceutics Grad Student Wins Scholarship for Alzheimer's Research
Posted on: February 23rd, 2018	by tressa
By Whitney Tarpy
OXFORD, Miss. – Purnendu Sharma, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy's Department of Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery, received an Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation Young Investigator Scholarship for his research on the natural product, Resiniferatoxin, or RTX.
Sharma's project, titled "Effect of Resiniferatoxin, a TrpV1 Receptor Agonist on Neuronal Cells and evaluating it In vitro Neurotrophic Activity for Neurodegenerative Disorders," showed the potential of RTX to help in the treatment of diseases like Alzheimer's.

ADDF is one of the most prominent non-profit organizations in the world that provides funding to scientists conducting innovative Alzheimer's disease drug research. The scholarship allowed Sharma, originally from Hyderabad, India, to attend ADDF's 12th annual Drug Discovery for Neurodegeneration Conference in Washington, D.C., in February and present his research poster.
"This award is a great recognition," Sharma said. "Being able to present to and interact with experts on this subject and receive feedback will have a great impact on this research and my career."
Sharma works under the supervision of S. Narasimha Murthy, professor of pharmaceutics in the School of Pharmacy. He also had collaborative support from Babu L. Tekwani, principal scientist in the National Center for Natural Products Research, as RTX is a chemical found in a cactus-like plant in Morocco and Nigeria.
"Purnendu is a highly-focused and hard-working student," Murthy said. "He was very deserving of this award for his novel findings on neurotrophic activity of nanoformulations of Resiniferatoxin. I am confident that Purnendu will have a successful career as a pharmaceutical scientist."
Murthy added that Sharma's work on other projects, including evaluating the microstructure of topical creams, has been recognized by the FDA and American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.

I had this Magic 8 Ball when I was a kid.
One semester, I used it to make all the big decisions. "Should I ask Amy Glick to the Spring Ball?" Without a doubt. "Will I get past first base?" Very doubtful. "Will I die a virgin?" Most likely.
I asked Amy to the ball anyhow. She said no. Said she'd rather go with her mom. Asked her best friend Martha instead. She had buck teeth in desperate need of braces. She said Hell yes.
I didn't get to first base, but second, with Martha. I didn't even need the Magic 8 to predict that one.
When I packed for college, I took the Magic 8 with me. I'd realised it wasn't that scientific, but kinda liked the way the blue dye displaced, the clear white letters. It let me off the hook of making decisions.
Maybe I should've asked whether my wife would leave me. What could it have said? Signs point to yes?
I hear my ex-wife upstairs now as I move a box of vinyl records from the pile in the corner of the basement. They're piled on top of a rusted up exercise bike. An ill-fated fad to get fit back in the '90s.
Martha's voice, sharp as cider vinegar, calls my name.
"I'm in the basement," I call back.
We're clearing the house. Her orthodontist boyfriend's keen to marry. Ironic, she finally got those buck teeth fixed and made herself pretty. Now she's gone.
I find the box, slightly crushed. Stick my hand to the bottom, feel the smooth, spherical object, pull it out. I sit back onto the cold stone floor.
"Is there a chance Martha will take me back?" I ask in a whisper, shaking the ball to release the dye.
But the fluid's begun leaching. No answer floats to the top.
Kate Jones is fanatical about flash fiction, reading it or writing it. Her work has been published widely online, including in Spelk, Firefly, Café Aphra, SickLit and with forthcoming work in The Nottingham Review. She has also been a three times winner of the weekly Ad Hoc Fiction contest, placed first in Flash500 and been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. To keep things interesting, she's currently interning for Great Jones Street and is an essayist for The Short Story. Make friends with her @katejonespp.
If you have a second check out my blog as well! It's all fictional short stories.
Lovely story, Kate. Tight and bright. But why go to the trouble of taking the male POV? Not really needed, although you carried it off.
Thanks, Walt. I felt it worked well from the male perspective. I got the idea originally from a book about a young boy, so maybe that helped!
Thanks so much, David – borh for reading and your support.


She is so content with sitting by your side All day or curled up on your lap or Anybody's lap. Such a happy girl, constantly purring with a gentle nature. She is currently in care with our family cat and our Senior dog. Also great with older children and adores our 6 year old son. She has a quirky personality and struts around the house and flops at your feet. She is a very clean girl with her litter tray too.
Fanta is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea and worm treated. She is currently located in Lightsview and her adoption fee is $90.


Looking for a job has been said to be a full-time job in and of itself. You need to use all avenues that are available to you. Be creative, persistent, organized, and by all means stay positive. Finding that job or internship may be a frustrating task but you will reap great rewards by being committed to the search.
Below is just a brief list of the companies that have hired our students.


The WCD Health Care Provider webpages have many useful tools and resources. You can sign up to receive email notifications on rule changes, industry notices, new information, and more. We never share your email and we only send necessary information that helps you.
Chiropractic physicians, naturopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants must certify to the director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services that they have reviewed and read certain informational material provided by the Workers' Compensation Division, before they treat any patients with Oregon workers' compensation claims.
If you have not certified to the director and you treat a patient with an Oregon workers' compensation claim, the insurer will not have to pay you for the services you provided.
WCD has eight provider-specific handbooks to help you become familiar with workers' compensation requirements, responsibilities and treatment limitations specific to provider type, and help you to follow the rules when treating workers' compensation patients. The handbooks do not replace the Oregon Administrative Rules, but they are a valuable resource for both new and experienced providers. You can find your handbook located on the right-side of this webpage.
The matrix provides treatment parameters by provider type. This one page reference sheet is designed to quickly answer your questions about who can do what and for how long.
If you disagree with an insurer's decision regarding payment (EOB) or other medical issues, we are here to help. Keep in mind you only have 90 days from the date of the insurer's decision to request our help in resolving the issue. You can download Form 2842, complete it, and send it to us as well as the other involved parties.
For claims enrolled in a managed care organization (MCO), billing or treatment disputes must go to the MCO within 30 days of the mailing date of the initial MCO decision before the worker may request WCD for administrative review.
