Covidgate: Accused of overbilling, Mediline Médical Cameroon justifies its prices
- Friday, 04 June 2021 11:05
(Business in Cameroon) - Mediline Medical Cameroon recently spoke out about its involvement in the case the media baptized "Covidgate", in reference to the financial malpractices supposedly organized around the management of the XAF180 billion fund dedicated to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallouts in 2020.
In a press release issued on June 2, 2021, in Seoul, South Korea, Sangkiyi, Chairman of Mediline Medical's executive board, explained that in 2020, his company supplied 1.4 million Covid-19 test kits to the State of Cameroon for XAF24.5 billion. This means that the group admits it sold each of the kits at XAF17,500.
According to the Supreme State Audit Office, the kits were overbilled since the manufacturer, SD-Biosensor, was charging XAF7,084 per kit. The audit office believes that Cameroon lost at least XAF14.582 billion in that order.
However, to defend iitself, Mediline reminds of the conditions in which it signed the agreement with Cameroon. According to the release, there was a shortage of kits around the world, a slowdown or even suspension of banking and insurance activities, as well as the confinement, border closures, and logistics problems.
Even though those problems justify the high initial prices, it is worth mentioning that till 2021, Mediline Medical Cameroon has maintained the same prices as it states in its release. Moreover, two other contractors (local companies Medical Plus and Sat Pharma) are supplying the test kits at XAF8,371.9 each. Despite their considerably lower prices, they won just a little portion of the Covid-19 test kits' supplying contract (less than 10% of the kits supplied to Cameroon in 2020).
"Let's also remind that our firm always complies with the prevailing market prices, per the rules in force," Sangkiyi adds. This explanation seems to be pointing a finger at the Ministry of Commerce, which elaborates the price listings. On May 21, 2021, the said Ministry published a note on its official Facebook page accusing Mediline Medical Cameroon of fraud.
"Contrary to the speculative allegations circulating on social media, the special committee that validates the price index elaborated by Minister of Commerce Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, who by the way worked with utmost transparency, approved a price of XAF17,500 for 25 kits, and XAF700 per kit. (…) Mediline Médical Cameroon SA simply decided not to comply with the official pricing of the Ministry of Commerce when it was delivering the kits. It invoiced each of them at XAF17,500 instead of XAF17,500 for 25 kits per the decision of the special price validation commission," the Ministry wrote.

In Islam Shah we see the initiation of many of the institutions and principles which passed as precious legacy to his Mughal successors .
Islam Shah made a definite contribution to the system of strong monarchy and centralized administration. By assuming the title of Khalifat-al-Adil and surrounding himself with dignitaries and great ceremonials , he gave spectacular form to royalty and greatly raised the dignity and majesty of kingship. Indeed his work encouraged Akbar to propound the theory of "divine right of kingship" revealed in the writings of Abu Fazal who says, " Royalty is a light emanating from God and a ray from the sun" . In connection with pardon of Daud. Akbar said, "By virtue our being the shadow of God , we receive little and give much. Our forgiveness has no relish for vengeance." Following Islam Shah, Akbar took the title of Khilafat-i-Ilahi and elevated royalty to an unique position.
Akbar's reduction of the position of the Mughal chiefs to a position of official nobility was but continuation of the policy and work of Islam Shah.
In Islam Shah's administration through bigger units , we find the beginning of Akbar's subah administration. It was the ideal of Sher Shah to govern in smaller units , like the Sarkars. Islam Shah on the other hand , thought that the bigger units , such as the provinces, were more useful for an efficient administration.
To Islam Shah is also due the credit for the introduction of the mansabdari system which received systematic shape in Akbar's reign. He divided his army into several divisions beginning from 50 to 20,000 and introduced the system of mansab in the army. He placed each division under a noble , who was paid , according to his mansab, in stipend from the royal treasury instead of in jagir. This made the Afghan chiefs stipendiaries and official nobles of the king. Islam Shah also introduced the system of paying the soldiers in cash.
Indeed Islam Shah's was the first attempt at the codification of the local laws regulating the lives of the individuals and officers. His hukamnamahs are the precursors of the dastur-ul-amal (the annals of instructions) of Mughal times. The hukamnamahs contained comprehensive instructions on all important affairs, religious, political and civil in eighty sheets of paper. They were intended to regulate the life of the soldiers, the subjects, the merchants, and other classes of people. The hukamnamahs were sort of manual of instructions to be followed by the local officers in their dealings with the people. The officers read them in the public meetings and thus gave them adequate publicity in the localities.
In the introduction of liberal ideas in Islam, his activities prepared the way for the rationalism of Akbar's reign. Also Islam Shah's liberal policy towards the non-Muslim elements of India's population encouraged his great Mughal successor to advance further in promoting the cause of Hindu-Muslim unity.
In Islam Shah's patronage to the learned and his interest in philosophical discussions with them , we find the dawn the intellectual renaissance that took place in the reign of Akbar.

Results for 'groupwork'
The Kinect Project: group motion-based gaming for people living with dementia
DOVE Erica, ASTELL Arelene
Engaging in enjoyable activities is an essential part of well-being, but people with dementia can find participation increasingly difficult. Motion-based technologies can provide meaningful engagement in a wide range of activities, but for people with dementia to take advantage of these devices requires a good understanding of how best to select and present these activities to this population. The objective of this study was to explore the use of motion-based technology (Xbox Kinect) as a group activity for people with dementia who attend adult day programmes. This qualitative study took place in an adult day programme for older adults with age-related challenges. Participants (n = 23) were observed while playing a digital bowling game presented on Xbox Kinect one hour per week for a period of 20 weeks, to capture naturalistic data. Field notes generated through observations were transcribed and analysed to identify emerging themes. The findings revealed three predominant themes which illustrate the potential of motion-based technology as a group activity for people with dementia who attend adult day programmes: (a) the importance of having a trained trainer, (b) learning versus mastery and (c) playing 'independently together'. People with dementia can learn to play games presented on motion-based technology and enjoy doing so. Furthermore, using the technology in a group setting fostered an encouraging and supportive environment which further contributed to the leisure experience. However, to be used most effectively, staff must be trained to set-up and interact with the technology, as well as introduce, teach and support people with dementia to use it.
A systematic review to investigate dramatherapy group work with working age adults who have a mental health problem
BOURNE Jane, ANDERSEN-WARREN Madeline, HACKETT Simon
This study investigated the effects of dramatherapy group work with adults between the ages of 18 and 65 years, who have mental health problems. A systematic review was undertaken using a meta-ethnography to synthesise the existing relevant research. Database searches identified 111 records, from which 12 were included in the review. There was a combined total of n = 194 participants from eleven of the studies; plus one study that did not give exact participant numbers. The included studies were either qualitative or mixed method, with a variety of designs: case studies, interviews, focus groups, observations, questionnaires, evaluations, and use of a variety of measurement tools. There was a range of populations, including: adults with intellectual disabilities, adult offenders, community service users, and in-patients. Participants were from a number of different settings. Overall findings were encouraging and included; improvements in social interaction, improved self- awareness, empowerment and social interaction. No negative effects were reported.
A mixed methods case study exploring the impact of membership of a multi-activity, multicentre community group on social wellbeing of older adults
LINDSAY-SMITH Gabrielle, et al
Background: Social wellbeing factors such as loneliness and social support have a major impact on the health of older adults and can contribute to physical and mental wellbeing. However, with increasing age, social contacts and social support typically decrease and levels of loneliness increase. Group social engagement appears to have additional benefits for the health of older adults compared to socialising individually with friends and family, but further research is required to confirm whether group activities can be beneficial for the social wellbeing of older adults. Methods: This one-year longitudinal mixed methods study investigated the effect of joining a community group, offering a range of social and physical activities, on social wellbeing of adults with a mean age of 70. The study combined a quantitative survey assessing loneliness and social support (n = 28; three time-points, analysed using linear mixed models) and a qualitative focus group study (n = 11, analysed using thematic analysis) of members from Life Activities Clubs Victoria, Australia. Results: There was a significant reduction in loneliness (p = 0.023) and a trend toward an increase in social support (p = 0.056) in the first year after joining. The focus group confirmed these observations and suggested that social support may take longer than 1 year to develop. Focus groups also identified that group membership provided important opportunities for developing new and diverse social connections through shared interest and experience. These connections were key in improving the social wellbeing of members, especially in their sense of feeling supported or connected and less lonely. Participants agreed that increasing connections was especially beneficial following significant life events such as retirement, moving to a new house or partners becoming unwell. Conclusions: Becoming a member of a community group offering social and physical activities may improve social wellbeing in older adults, especially following significant life events such as retirement or moving-house, where social network changes. These results indicate that ageing policy and strategies would benefit from encouraging long-term participation in social groups to assist in adapting to changes that occur in later life and optimise healthy ageing.
Developing peer support in the community: a toolkit
SIDE BY SIDE RESEARCH CONSORTIUM
A toolkit to help people to plan and run mental health peer support in the community. The toolkit will be especially useful for those wanting to set up new projects or those involved in commissioning peer support. It outlines the three main approaches to community-based peer support and lists a core set of values underpinning peer support, and make it different from other forms of mental health support. It also looks at how peer support might be organised and provides guidance on how to better understand and communicate the impact of groups. Sections of the toolkit include reflection questions and activities which were developed alongside more than 10 groups and projects. Links to useful resources are included. The toolkit is based upon research undertaken by the Side by Side evaluation partners, which included St George's, University of London, the McPin Foundation, and the London School of Economics.
Pulling together
WORF Candy, GOODMAN Jolie, PLIMPTON Ben
This practice handbook draws on the work of the Mental Health Foundation's Standing Together project, which facilitated 19 peer-support groups for older people living in extra care housing. The aim of the groups was to improve the emotional and social wellbeing of participants, and reduce loneliness and social isolation. The handbook pulls together learning from the project and provides inspiration to anyone wanting to set up a peer-support group with older people – whether they are tenants in housing schemes, staff or volunteers. It includes information on group activities used by the facilitators, including digital photography activities, memory boxes, collages and art sessions, and flower arranging workshops. It also provides advice on managing conflict between group members, information on how to support a community when a member dies, information for facilitators, and highlights the importance of listening to group members.


So this Corn Salsa Salad can be either a salad or a salsa, we really like it both ways. If you are making it as a salad, just chop everything up in large pieces, if it is to be a salsa just dice everything up really fine. You can make it and serve it right away but I prefer to let it sit in the refrigerator and chill over night, the flavors really melt together making it worth the wait. Enjoy!
Whisk all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl, chill until ready to serve.
Mix together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Before serving toss with dressing and chill for 10-15 minutes. Toss once more and serve, Enjoy!

Deebo Samuel Super Bowl 54 MVP Odds Skyrocket Following Impressive First Half

Deebo Samuel was one of the buzziest players on the San Francisco 49ers' prior to Super Bowl LIV. And after two quarters of action, Deebo has certainly lived up to the hype.
He's been the most effective weapon on the team, tallying 62 yards from scrimmage on just six total touches in the first half. This performance has also caused his Super Bowl MVP odds to skyrocket, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Deebo was listed at +4500 to win the award prior to kickoff, but his odds have already shot all the way up to +1000 at half time.
Of course, it's not hard to see why. Both of his carries have gone for at least 17 yards, and he's leading the 49ers in both rushing and receiving at halftime.
Given that Super Bowl MVP almost always gets awarded to a player on the winning team, Deebo will likely need the 49ers to secure a second-half victory for him to win the award.
But, if his first half is any indication, he certainly has a chance.

Принцесса Луиза Фредерика Вюртембергская (; ) — немецкая принцесса, герцогиня Мекленбург-Шверинская.

Биография

Дочь наследного принца Фридриха Людвига Вюртембергского (1698—1731) и Генриетты Марии Бранденбург-Шведтской (1702—1782) из династии Гогенцоллернов.

2 марта 1746 года она сочеталась браком с герцогом Фридрихом Мекленбургским (1717—1785), который вошёл в историю, как Фридрих Благочестивый. Свадьба состоялась в замке Шведт, принадлежавшем дяде невесты, Фридриху Вильгельму Бранденбург-Шведтскому. Брак остался бездетным.

В 1776 году герцогиня Луиза была награждена русской императрицей Екатериной Великой орденом Святой Екатерины большого креста.

Портрет герцогини, исполненный придворным художником Георгом Давидом Матьё, хранится в Художественном музее Шверина.

Герцогиня пережила своего мужа и была похоронена в городской церкви Людвигслюста поблизости от своей резиденции.

SKOPJE – Bulgarian Government has given the green light for the signing of the Protocol for Macedonia's accession to NATO. Government in Sofia stated today that it had authorised its representative at the Permanent delegation of Bulgaria to NATO to sign the document, MIA reported. Bulgaria was also the first country to recognise Macedonia as a sovereign country in 1992.


Can you even believe that Christmas is almost here?!?! Puff and I are back in The Fort for the holidays and no matter the weather, we are sticking this year out. We can get snowed in for a week for all I care. There's no way I'm missing Christmas again with my mom's family this year.
Right... so I will never forget when my cousin was in like 2nd grade (at his Catholic school, mind you) and they went around the room talking about their family traditions at the holidays. What was his tradition that he shared with everyone? Bourbon Slush.
Damn straight... it's not a Christmas in our family without a few tupperware containers of the stuff. One of these days, I'll learn how to make it myself. I will have to learn eventually... because for the rest of my life, the holidays won't be complete without a red Solo cup full of the stuff.


Jobs (and Gates) should "Put their money where the mouths are"
In the days since Steve Jobs' open letter basically denouncing DRM and calling for its abolition, we have heard from many of you that Jobs unfairly distances himself from the DRM problem and solution, laying the blame at the feet of the big four music companies.
We wonder if he has forgotten that he is CEO of Pixar, part of the Disney Family. DRM is not just about music, increasingly it is movies and video that are protected by DRM, especially those selections purchased from iTMS.
Instead of laying the responsibility for DRM with the music companies and calling on their customers to influence them, Jobs should ask music fans to join him in directly lobbying the Big Four to drop DRM. He should be joining with Bill Gates and hosting a summit on the issue with Big Media.
Read more about Jobs (and Gates) should "Put their money where the mouths are"
A year ago I don't think that anyone could have imagined these two stunning announcements from the founders and titular heads of the worlds leading technology and digital music device companies. both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have publicly derided DRM as an impossible mission to secure digital music files with "crippling" DRM.
ZD Net ran a story on the UK Green Party position in opposition to Windows Vista.
Vista requires more expensive and energy-hungry hardware, passing the cost on to consumers and the environment," Wall said. "This will also further exclude the poor from the latest technology, and impose burdensome costs on small and medium businesses who will be forced to enter another expensive upgrade cycle."
And BoingBoing picked it up too. Check out Technorati for some other blog hits.
Gates will be on the Daily Show tonight. Look for clips on video sharing sites and be sure to comment on them with links to BadVista.org and DefectiveByDesign.org.
DefectiveByDesign members turned out today in New York City (despite the bitter cold!) to spread the message that Vista's DRM is a danger to computer users. We were joined by folks from the BadVista.org campaign who distributed free software to the guests lining up to attend the launch event.
Engadget got their pictures up before we did.
The Dawn of Vista DRM - On Monday we'll be turning out to share our "Wow Moments" with Bill Gates and his invited guests in NYC. We tried to get an invite to the events, but, alas, were denied access, so we'll be outside greeting guests as they arrive to the two swank events Microsoft has planned to pitch the Vista Upsell.
First, we'll be at the star studded luncheon at Cipriani's on 42nd Street from noon. Sign up now to join us.
"Wow starts now"? It's more like "Ow starts now", as consumers start to learn what they will lose by choosing Vista.
DefectiveByDesign has been campaigning against DRM since last May. In that time, consumer and media awareness of the restitrictive technology has increased and consumers have largely turned against it. Even the music industry is contemplating dropping it. Yet even against the growing anti-drm chorus, Microsoft is launching the Vista Operating System which, aside from some new bells and whistles, and an increase in base hardware requirements, is largely a platform for DRM, designed to serve Big Media companies more than individual computer users. Vista represents a step backwards in users' freedom, it is an "upsell" not an "upgrade". While user's rights will be trammeled by the DRM and Treacherous Computing features of Vista, the collatoral damage will be environment as users are forced to abandon perfectly good hardware to meet the new requirements of Vista, generating tons of e-waste.
Ars Technica reported last week on a Hollywood Exec's admission that DRM, for them, is not about piracy, rather about control over the way people interact with copyrighted works.
BadVista.org has just announced an Amazon tagging campaign like the one we launched against DRMd products. Read the full post on BadVista.org, or got to go to Amazon and start tagging!
Microsoft Getting Hammered: Vista secured by NSA Spies?
Microsoft can't catch a break! A few weeks after the "launch" of the Zune, the Vista operating system caught some serious flack. Now, in a 1-2 punch, it has come to light that spies from the NSA helped to "secure" Vista and Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone which could be described as the iPod Killer's Killer if the iPod Killer (The Zune) were not so pathetic.
"Welcome to the Social" Microsoft!
Read more about Microsoft Getting Hammered: Vista secured by NSA Spies?
Alot is happening in the digital music realm these last few week.s We've heard news that Microsoft is abandoning PlaysForSure DRM to focus exclusively on their Zune DRM. EMI, meanwhile, has abandoned DRM in all new CDs which is great news, and they are also starting to offer mp3s with no drm. Including music by Norah Jones on Yahoo and eMusic.
In December, the FSF launched the BadVista Campaign to raise awareness about the problems with Microsoft Vista and promote Free software alternatives for computer users.
You can help the Bad Vista Campaign, one way is to create web banners, logos or badges, see the site for details.
Last week some record labels started offering MP3s free of DRM (as reported by ArsTechnica, < ahref="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16081654/" target="new">MSNBS (from the AP) and also engadget and others.
EMI is selling some music on Yahoo Music for 99 cents without DRM. The release is limited in scope and is being billed as an experiment to test the waters of demand.
Neil has been joined by hundred of other so far. If you live in the UK or know folks who do, please sign the petition or spread the word!
Newseek ran an article this week on DRM and the growing anti DRM movement that our efforts have been instrumental in over the last few months.
Now, an increasingly vocal grassroots resistance to DRM is cropping up. An anti-DRM campaign called "Defective by Design," which is organized by the Free Software Foundation, has 15,000 registered members; the Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that DRM places limits on "your ability to make lawful use of the music you purchase." Web sites like stopdrmnow.org and digitalfreedom.org have been launched "to protect individuals' right to use new digital technologies" and urge boycotts on DRM-tagged content. David Berlind, executive editor of tech trade journal ZDNet, coined his own term for DRM: "Content Restriction, Annulment and Protection." (Figure out the acronym).
This week as the Sony Playstation 3 went on sale in the US, people have been beaten, stabbed and shot over the new DRM laden gaming console! While we can understand how people might get mad when they find out about all the Digital Restrictions technology built into the PS3 (which features a Blu-Ray player) the idea that people are assaulting others to get their hands on these machines is pretty crazy!
Last night, I and three other DefectiveByDesign members from Seattle met up for a dinner and a beer and then headed over to the launch of the Zune at the War Room on Capital Hill. This being a Microsoft town, I expected a huge crowd, even if it was just Microsofties. We were surprised by the turnout, maybe 150 people waiting in a line snaking around the corner for the doors to open. Almost all were MS people, but we talked to them none the less. The responses were interesting ranging from disgust with out message, to bemusement to outright support.
The Zune is about to find its way onto store shelves. You can support DefectiveByDesign and show others that the Zune is Defective By Design by buying a shirt.
There are other shirts available for sale.
[img_assist|nid=849|title=DRM make me sad|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=222|height=240]With more than 5000 names added to the Bono petition, we decided it was time to take a look at some of the 1700+ messages that signers have left for the U2 front man.
What is interesting is how many signers made the connection that digital restrictions on published works and technology will effect development and cultural equality. A selection of messages are posted below.
"Bono, in the same way that the pharmaceutical companies use patents to restrict the poor from getting access to important medicines, so DRM will be used to restrict access to knowledge. At the moment DRM appears to be about music and movies, but within a few years we will see that this was just the beginning. You have the opportunity to help us stop this now."
FreeCulture.org just announced the winners of the Down With DRM Video Contest.
Electronic Frontier Foundation's report "Who Killed the TiVoToGo?" which details how Big Media and Cable companies forced TiVo to remove the TiVo To Go service from the new TiVo Series 3 HD.
Digg DRM killed the TiVoToGo!
October 3rd, Day Against DRM was a huge success - thank you to the thousands of people who took part in actions around the globe, both big and small, to spread the word about the dangers of DRM. Thousands of emails were sent from the DefectiveByDesign site to friends and relatives warning them about DRM. We distributed one hundred and fifty thousand stickers, and you used them in more than two hundred organized meet-ups to get the message out. The reports from the protests outside the flagship Apple stores in London and New York showed people were having a lot of fun. Some of you got dressed up in Hazmat suits and educated shoppers and commuters, others blogged about anti-DRM activities, many submitted amazing photos. In Paris StopDRM.info activists took it to another level and handed themselves in to police for breaking French DRM laws. Our friends at Free Culture ran a video competition that resulted in some truly wonderful submissions, and more than 80,000 people have viewed the winning submissions!

Dental pain, both acute and chronic, is and should be considered a serious problem. While American society's "war on opioids" has focused primarily on physicians, data indicate that dentists are also frequent prescribers. Michael E. Schatman, Ph.D., CPE, presented a webinar that focused on strategies for dentists to allow them to prescribe, when necessary, in a safe manner – i.e. one that provides their patients with adequate and appropriate analgesia while simultaneously safeguarding against misuse, abuse, overdose, and diversion.
The webinar is available to all ADA members.

B2Gold to begin $50m-expansion of Fekola mine in October

Mid-tier Canadian miner B2Gold (TSX:BTO)(NYSE: BTG) has approved a $50-million expansion of its 80%-owned Fekola mine, in southwestern Mali, which could take the operation's processing throughput to 7.5-million tonnes a year, up from the current 6 million tonnes it generates.
The Vancouver-based company, which poured first gold at Fekola in late 2017, said the plan was to have Fekola churning out 600,000 ounces of gold by 2020, helped by an enhanced mine plan and a larger fleet.
Expansion could take the mine's processing throughput to 7.5-million tonnes a year and is expected to be complete by the September-quarter of 2020
In 2018, its first full year of commercial production, the mine exceeded expectations, generating 439,068 ounces of gold, while B2Gold expected a maximum of 430,000 ounces.
Construction will begin in October, the miner said, and is expected to be complete by the September-quarter of 2020.
The upgrade will also extend the mine life to 2030. This would be achieved by providing the ball mill with more power and upgrading other plant components such as the cyclone classification system, pebble crushers and building additional leach capacity to support the higher throughput, B2Gold said.
The news comes as B2Gold announced a deal with long-time partner AngloGold Ashanti, which will allow it to increase its stake in their Gramalote project in Colombia to 50% and take control of it.
Fekola is located near Mali's border with Senegal, and about 520 km from the country's capital, Bamako. The country's government owns the reminding 20%.

Hot Shot's Secret Launching Live Stream Talk Show
by THE SHOP Staff
Hot Shot's Secret is launching a live stream talk show with host Steve Sommers.
Former 700WLW America's Truckin' Network host Steve Sommers is returning to the airwaves with a new five-hour live stream talk show direct from the brand-new Hot Shot's Secret studios, the company announced. WLW-AM's overnight America's Truckin' Network show broadcasted by iHeart radio reached a broad audience of overnight truckers and 3rd shift employees. Now, Sommers is returning with a live stream, live call-in talk show scheduled also from midnight to 5:00 a.m. thanks to Hot Shot's Secret.
Construction has already begun on the Hot Shot's Secret studios in the Cincinnati, Ohio area that will be the new home for The Steve Sommers Overnight Drive live program. The new studios are scheduled to be fully completed by the end of 2020, as Hot Shot's Secret is planning to launch the new streaming show in January of 2021. The initial motivation is to get Steve back on air as soon as possible, with long term plans of massive distribution, the company said. More details on when and where to find the new program are coming soon.
Chris Gabrelcik, founder and CEO of Hot Shot's Secret, is excited to move quickly to get Steve back on the air, he said. "Hot Shot's Secret would not be here today if it was not for the persistence of Steve to give me some airtime on his overnight show many years ago when I was first starting the company. The five hours I spent in his studio that very first visit resulted in an avalanche of orders for our product and we have never looked back ever since. Hot Shot's Secret is now the fastest growing performance lubricant company in the U.S. and I will never forget those early days when Steve was there for us when we needed it the most," Gabrelcik said. "I, like many of Steve's dedicated fans that have listened to him night after night over the years, was shocked to hear of his recent dismissal, but found it to be an excellent opportunity to bring Steve into our Hot Shot's Secret family. He connects with truckers and all other callers in a way that people feel they can talk freely. I support that."
"I am excited to get back on the air. What you heard before from my show will be the same: frank talk. Trucking is a tough business, and so is radio. I actually started working in radio when I was just 15 years old in Cincinnati. Many relocations and radio stations later I had the opportunity to return to Ohio in 1996 to produce the radio show that my father, Dale "Truckin' Bozo" Sommers started back in 1984. I then took over the show in 2004 and have enjoyed every moment with my overnight listeners," Sommers said. "This is my life. And right now, I can see that one good turn deserves another as my friend Chris Gabrelcik is doing whatever it takes to make this show a reality. There are huge plans in the works. This is going to be an exciting new chapter for me and I can't wait to connect with my listeners once again."
The company has an initial launch plan of January 2021.

Q: If a bird fly to height of $h$ ,What's the area that it can see? Suppose a bird fly to height $h$ from earth . The bird can see area under by it's eyes ,name as $S$ ,What's $max \{S\}$ ?
Is it possible to solve  ?
my first trial was to assume a cone by $height =h$ and $S=\pi R^2$ as area like the figure I attached with.
Is $S$ a constant for special amount of $h$ ?
can we calculate $max \{S\}$ or $S$?(or something is missed  ?)
Thanks for any hint ,in advance.

A: I am assuming that there is no limitation on the angle of vision of the bird.
The only known values I am assuming is the half apex angle $\theta$.
By property of tangent, the half angle subtended at the center will be $90-\theta$.
By using the solid angle formula,
$$
A=\phi r^2=2\pi(1-\cos{(90-\theta}) = 2\pi (1-\sin{\theta})
$$

A: Assume the earth to be a sphere of radius $r$ with centre $O$. Let the bird be at a point $B$, with a point $H$ on the horizon as seen by the bird. Then $OH=r$, $OB=r+h$, $HB\perp HO$, and $$\sin\angle OBH=\frac r{r+h}.$$The area of the spherical cap seen by the bird is$$2\pi r^2(1-\cos\angle BOH)=2\pi r^2(1-\sin\angle OBH)$$$$\qquad=2\pi\frac{r^2h}{r+h}.$$

A: I became interested in this problem and the word "bird" caught my attention.
We have a geometric approach given by John Bentin.
But birds' eyes have a lateral, a frontal and a blind areas of vision in the horizontal plane.
I couldn`t find anything in the vertical plane.
See http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/birdbrain2.html
Besides there are three kinds of visual fields
http://estebanfj.bio.purdue.edu/birdvision/visualfields.html
Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view
we can find two sketches showing the horizontal and the vertical fields of view.
Also found that there is a visual-field projections on orthographically viewed spheres (that I am trying to understand)

Instead of issuing stamps in large sheets of 40, 100 or even 200 stamps, smaller sheetlets with 20 to 24 stamps are issued with a large selvedge area which may incorporate
part of the stamp design or theme.
[2] Sales of postage stamps are an important source of income for some countries whose stamp issues may exceed their postal needs, but have designs that appeal to many stamp
collectors.
• Pre-printed stamp album with United States country pages affixed • Custom printed loose-left album page displaying stamps postmarked in Prague Acquiring stamps The main
ways of acquiring stamps are through retail market stamp dealers who have online websites, or post on eBay or other forums, and conduct local stamp show dealer "bourse" events.
[3] Postage stamp collecting began at the same time that stamps were first issued, and by 1860 thousands of collectors and stamp dealers were appearing around the world as
this new study and hobby spread across Europe, European colonies, the United States and other parts of the world.
Although the stamps received by major businesses and those kept by elderly relatives may be of international and historical interest, the stamps received from family members
are often of the definitive sort.
Stamp pricing is also based on the look of the stamp, and the stamp that has an image that is very well centered will sell well.
Collecting Stamp collecting is generally accepted as one of the areas that make up the wider subject of philately, which is the study of stamps.
[5] As the hobby and study of stamps began to grow, stamp albums and stamp related literature began to surface, and by the early 1880s publishers like Stanley Gibbons made
a business out of this advent.
It has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late nineteenth century with the rapid growth of the postal service,[1] as a never-ending stream of new stamps
was produced by countries that sought to advertise their distinctiveness through their stamps.
By the early 2000s, stamp collecting was seen to be in decline as the digital world surpassed traditional hobbies even though by 2013, The Wall Street Journal estimated the
global number of stamp collectors was around 60 million.
Collectors and dealers at an outdoor French stamp bourse Duplicate stamps are those a collector already has and are not required, therefore, to fill a gap in a collection.
Stamps can be displayed according to the collector's wishes, by country, topic, or even by size, which can create a display pleasing to the eye.
Although such organizations are often advertised in stamp magazines and online, the relatively small number of collectors – especially outside urban areas – means that a club
may be difficult to set up and sustain.
For Canadian stamps there is a specialized catalogue called the Unitrade (which reflects more accurately the actual values of the stamps vs the Scott catalogue values), and
for Great Britain and Commonwealth stamps most collectors use Stanley Gibbons catalogues.
Collectors usually opt for a block of four stamps, complete with the selvage area which will sometimes have the printing details on it.
o Souvenir sheets – many postal services sometimes release stamps in a format that look like a sheet with a big picture.
In 1862, Gray stated that he "began to collect postage stamps shortly after the system was established and before it had become a rage".
o Federal Duck Stamps (stamps for duck hunting licenses, mainly U.S. with some other countries such as Canada and New Zealand) • First day cover (FDCs) – envelopes with stamps
attached and canceled on the first day that the stamp was issued.
The first UK commemorative stamps, 1924 Some of the more popular collecting areas include: • Postage stamps – particular countries and/or time periods o Airmail stamps – stamps
may be required for airmail, which is typically more expensive and has special postage rates.
The stamps were issued in several denominations to make up different amounts due.
Rare and old stamps can also be obtained, but these can be very expensive.
In 1774, he assembled a book of the existing embossed revenue stamps, ranging in value from 6 pounds to half a penny, as well as the hand stamped charge marks that were used
with them.
See example with 10 stamps in one picture.
Many dealers sell stamps through the Internet while others have neighborhood shops which are among the best resources for beginning and intermediate collectors.
[8] Introducing either variety or specific focus to a collection can require the purchasing of stamps, either from a dealer or online.
The stamps need to be attached to the pages of the album in some way, and stamp hinges are a cheap and simple way to do this.
Rare stamps Rare stamps are often old and many have interesting stories attached to them.
For this reason, many highly specific stamp clubs have been established on the Web, with international membership.
• The Canada 12d Penny Black • The Canada 10 Cent Montreal Small Queen Pale Milky Rose Lilac First Printing • The United States Hawaiian Missionary Issue • The United States
"Inverted Jenny" (which is actually a printing error) • The United States "1-cent Z grill" stamp • The United States One Dollar Trans-Mississippi Issue "Cattle in the Storm" – widely considered to be America's Most Beautiful Stamp • The Treskilling
Yellow • The Mauritius "Post Office" stamps • The British Penny Red plate 77 Early stamps of the United States are known as classics.
Many adults dismissed it as a childish pursuit but later many of those same collectors, as adults, began to systematically study the available postage stamps and publish books
about them.
Collectors are able to establish the exact position of a stamp on the original sheet of 200 stamps.
In the latter cases, using acid free paper provides better long-term stamp protection.
Social organizations, such as the Lions Club and Rotary International, have also formed stamp collecting groups specific to those stamps that are issued from many countries
worldwide that display the organization's logo.
Many collectors limit their collecting to particular countries, certain time periods or particular subjects (called "topicals") like birds or aircraft.
[9] Large numbers of relatively recent stamps, often still attached to fragments or envelopes, may be obtained cheaply and easily.
Popular topical themes are animals, dogs, cats, butterflies, birds, flowers, art, sports, Olympics, maps, Disney, scouting, space, ships, Americana (topics relating to the
US), stamps on stamps, famous people, chess, Chinese new year, and many others.
These are similar to first day covers except that they are issued as printed sheets of paper instead of envelopes, and the specification of the stamp is printed by the official
Collecting specialties A worldwide collection would be enormous, running to thousands of volumes, and would be incredibly expensive to acquire.
Mint (not used) full original gum stamps that have never been hinged will always sell for premiums.
It included, for example, all of the rare stamps described above that had been issued by 1917.
Duplicate stamps can be sold or traded, so they are an important medium of exchange among collectors.
Postage stamps are often collected for their historical value and geographical aspects and also for the many subjects depicted on them, ranging from ships, horses, and birds
to kings, queens and presidents.
Typically stamps will sell at auction for a range of 10 to 30% of catalogue list price, but if the stamp is of the very top quality then the sell price may exceed the catalogue
list price.

From time to time we will be featuring some of the most compelling Internet TV programming coming from Brightcove's partners. One of my longtime favorites is MediaStorm, a new channel that combines world class photojournalism and music with an inventive, point-and-click user interface. You'll find yourself laughing, grooving and getting choked up in just a few clicks.
One of Brightcove's core principles is choice and control over user experience. It's delightful to see MediaStorm take complete advantage of these capabilities. They've fully integrated Brightcove's services into a rich user experience that serves and supports the MediaStorm brand and identity, and helps them tell a great story.
The celeb-filled Faces video (above) is entrancing, but the short 1976, riffing off of the The Kid Stays in the Picture animation style, is my favorite. I can't wait to see what Brian & Co. publish next.


The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is the first quadricopter that can be controlled by a smartphone or tablet. By tilting your device, you control the direction of your AR.Drone, and by releasing it, the AR.Drone is instantly stabilized. Thanks to the AR.Drone's autopilot feature, anyone can be an expert as the AR.Drone allows for an easy take-off and landing.
AR.FreeFlight 2.0 is an application available for free on the App Store or the Android Market. The new 'Absolute Control' mode gives you an option to change levels from beginner to expert. Flying is like playing a video game: While holding down an on-screen button, you tilt your phone in the direction you want the device to fly. All those sensors and processors keep the drone extremely stable, so unlike every other remote-controlled flying toy, the drone goes exactly where you want it to. When you let go of the controls, it keeps its position fixed in the air.

In Elantris, the AonDor comes in the form of the lands, so if an Elantrian wanted to use it on a different Shardworld, like Roshar, would the symbols change?
That's an excellent question! And I'm going to RAFO it.
Complex "magic" system in Mistborn, & the complex one in Elantris, what base ideas do you build from for this?
For Mistborn, Alchemy and biological metabolism. For Elantris, Chinese linguistics and geometry mixed.
Is Aon Omi a kind of God Aon?
It's what they use it for, so, it would be kind of, equivalent to the god symbols, but it's also partially an adoption if that makes sense.
By the way, there is a little foreshadowing in this chapter. Raoden's ability to draw with a stick or a quill to do his Aons is very important, obviously. Some people still have trouble what is going on at the climax of the book, and so I found constant need to incorporate explanations and hints where I could to foreshadow events.
[Brandon] said in the lecture that he took a programming course in college. He was asked if we will ever see a programming language as a magic system?
We already have. Reread Elantris.
He's taken programming classes, and someone wanted to know if he'll apply that knowledge into magic systems.
Yes, okay. I'll admit it. I started a chapter with a dream sequence. However, if you didn't realize that it was a dream before you got to the end, they you obviously haven't been paying much attention to the rest of the book. It's usually good advice to avoid dream sequences. It's particularly a good idea to avoid flashback dream sequences at the beginning of your novel. I did it anyway. The truth is, I liked what this scene did too much to cut it. My purpose was not to "fake out" or confuse–but simply to show some things that would be otherwise impossible to show in the novel.
I wanted to show AonDor working without Elantris' current limitations. The only way to do this–to really show this, rather than just describe it–was to have a flashback. So, I gave Raoden the dream where he able to remember the days before the fall of Elantris. You'll notice that I refer back to this dream several times through the chapter, using it as an example of several things Raoden considers.
There are a lot of other clues sprinkled through these chapters. If you're really clever, you could probably figure out from this chapter what is wrong with AonDor, and from that extrapolate why the Shaod went bad.
Could a Seeker who was properly trained and experienced detect AonDor or Awakening? Similarly, does a Coppercloud block an Awakener's life sense?
A Seeker could sense somebody else using magic not native Scadrial. RAFO on the Coppercloud blocking similar magic.
If Vivenna travelled to Scadrial, could she awaken stuff there? Could Vin burn allomantic metals on Nalthis?
RAFO, I'm afraid. Note that at least one of the magics—AonDor—is directly influenced by location.
How exactly, Realmatically, is it tracked- like [for example] Aon Aon with these swirls and lines means "Arelon"?
Now that Nightblood is on Roshar, can it use Stormlight the same way is would use Breaths?
I'll just tell you "yes." I was gonna RAFO that, but I think everyone's figured that out by now.
A friend wants to know exactly how you can go between types of Investiture. You've said that you can before.
It just depends on the Investiture. Some are much easier to use than others. Like, running Aons with other Investiture, very hard. Just the nature of the magic makes it very hard. But, Nightblood? He'll feed on whatever he can get. So, it's really easy to fuel Nightblood.
Does Feruchemy have anything to do with that? Converting into Investiture?
If an Elantrian drew Aon Kii, what effect would it have?
In the presence of Aon Kii, the guilty feel pain.
If a Dakhor (Dilaf) could erase a symbol written by an Elantrian (Raoden), could an Elantrian erase/heal a Dhakor bone-symbol?
This is a theoretical possibility, but not a specialization of AonDor.
The twist I wanted to bring to my novel was twofold. First, I wanted to focus on what went wrong with the magic–therefore really allowing me to get into its mechanics. Secondly, I wanted the runic system to be more mathematical than it was mystical. Raoden hints at this in the chapter, and you'll get more later. However, the idea of runes that include qualifiers and functions appealed to me as a little more distinctive than some of the other systems I'd seen before.
Can you combine Aons? Instead of just adding the things that make them more detailed, can you combine them with each other?
Yes. There is an entire art based around figuring out what combinations work.
Kind of an off-topic question but - did the Elantrians know that the Aons were geomancy? Or did they know and just went insane too fast to get the details of whatever geographical catastrophe had just disturbed their lines?
So, in this chapter we get to have a nice look at the "mathematical" style to AonDor. To be honest, I'm not really a math person. I did well in my classes, but I never pursued the skill long enough to get deeply into theoretics. That's why there aren't any specifics in these chapters–I try to give enough to imply that AonDor works like mathematical proofs, but I don't include any specific ratios or equations.
In its most basic form, Omi is used to represent love and benevolence. It is a common root Aon for a wide variety of words, including affection, care, passion, piety, zeal, and some synonyms of loyalty.
In later centuries, the symbol has come to mean not only love, but divinity as well, an association created by the Korathi Church's appropriation of the Aon. Many Korathi devout also regard the symbol as representing the potential unification of all mankind through peace, temperance, and love.
Aon Omi is best known as the official symbol of the Korathi church in Arelon. It was chosen by Korath (known as KoWho in JinDo) himself to represent the church and God. Scholars of the time say that Korath made the decision late in his life, after decades spent preaching his interpretations of the tenets of Shu-Keseg (which eventually became the Korathi religion) in Arelon and Elantris itself.
The choice was shocking to many, as the young Korathi devout saw the Elantrians and their worship as a competing religion. Their Aons, the basis for Elantrian magic an power, were then regarded as heathen symbols. Korath was always bothered by this competitive streak in his believers, and it is widely accepted that he picked an Aon to represent God and his religion as an attempt to show that all people were acceptable beneath the blanket of the Korathi doctrines. He himself called the Aon a "Thing of Beauty" and asked an Elantrian smith of his acquaintance to craft a silver pendant for him bearing the symbol.
Many Korathi priests now look at the use of Aons by their religion as symbol of the potential unity of all mankind, when different beliefs, sects, and cultures will be drawn together through sincere affection for one another.
As can be expected from its meanings, Aon Omi is a common root Aon for names in Arelon, particularly among those who follow the Korathi religion.
The head priest of the Korathi chapel in Kae, Father Omin, also uses this Aon in his name. (As a side note, like many Korathi priests, Omin chose a new name for himself once he joined the priesthood. In his youth, he went by the name of Elenan.) Father Omin wears a jade pendant of Aon Omi.
Eondel wears a pendant of Aon Omi, his sky blue. Sarene wears one of green and gold, while Raoden wears one of black.
Aon Omi is a powerful Aon, and before the fall of Elantris could perform powerful magics. When drawn it puts out a powerful and pure white light; any who are touched by this light find their negative emotions wiped away, replaced by a sense of serenity and peace. It is difficult indeed to maintain a sense of hatred while Aon Omi is in force.
So powerful is this Aon, however, that using it requires much of the Elantrian who draws it. The Aon will be weak unless the one drawing it feels a sincere affection for those around him, making this Aon very difficult to use in tense situations. This strange requirement has fascinated AonDor practitioners for centuries, as it is one of the few Aons which requires something other than skill in drawing from its Elantrian.
Aon Omi is also used in other places in AonDor equations. It can be used to tie other Aon chains together, and is also a weaker power modifier, if used in the correct way.

Jonah's Joy | Crossville Counseling Center, P.C.
Dr. Denise had a vision over 20 years ago of a home for abused, neglected and troubled adolescents.
While being an outpatient therapist for many years and working in residential treatment homes, Dr. Denise realized the need for more intensive, God-centered treatment to help the acting-out and troubled adolescent. In 2008, Dr. Denise moved to Cumberland County TN to fulfill the dream of opening this home.
Jonah's Joy will be an adolescent residential home-like environment providing a 9 to 12 month program with approximately 8 to 10 adolescents of the same gender in each home. As a faith-based, non-denominational, evangelical program the children will participate in morning and evening devotionals, and weekly church programs. Traditional mental health therapies of individual, family and group will be provided to each child, which includes approximately 3 hours of individual therapy each week, weekly family therapy (when appropriate) and daily group therapy.
Animal-Assisted Therapy, including horses and other farm animals, will be used for the benefit of teaching responsibility and building relationships with the animals as transitional units for broken human-to-human relationships. Educational plans will be created that meet the needs of each child, focusing on their academic and emotional needs.
