Medicare Waiving Copays
The waiver of coinsurance and deductibles owed by patients treated by physicians and other health care providers has come under increased scrutiny recently. Although there are no clear legal prohibitions, commercial health insurers have aggressively pursued out-of-network providers who fail to collect or waive amounts owed by their insureds under different statutory regulations.
A provider, practitioner or supplier who routinely waives Medicare copayments or deductibles is misstating its actual charge. For example, if a supplier claims that its charge for a piece of equipment is $100, but routinely waives the copayment, the actual charge is $80. Many pharmacies believe that, by avoiding patients with public insurance such as Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare, they can routinely waive co-pays and deductibles because they are not violating the AKS.
Aetna Medicare Waiving Copays
There have also been several recent settlements by health care providers resolving allegations of violating the False Claims Act for routinely waiving coinsurance amounts for Medicare beneficiaries.
Fraudulent Billing Alleged
In a recent case, Aetna sued Foundation Surgery Affiliates (FSM) and Foundation Surgery Management (FSM) for providing financial incentives, or kickbacks, to doctors to refer patients to Huntingdon Valley Surgery Center (Surgery Center) and for engaging in fraudulent billing practices. A federal appellate court in Pennsylvania agreed with a lower court's ruling that the defendants cannot be liable under the state's anti-kickback law because they are not licensed health care providers; however, the court also concluded that there was a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether it was fraudulent for the defendants to bill Aetna without disclosing the fact they had waived the patient's copay and deductible obligations.
The Surgery Center is not a contracted network provider with Aetna. By waiving the copay and deductible obligations, Aetna members can obtain services at the Surgery Center for approximately the same rate as they would pay at an in-network surgery center.
According to the court, the Surgery Center's obligation to disclose the routine waiver of a patient's obligations would arise from the language of the billing forms it submits to Aetna or any contractual agreements with Aetna that require such disclosure. The court found that the billing form asks a provider to list the "total charges" and does not specify whether that term refers to the list prices or to the amounts the provider actually expects to receive.
The court also found that the Surgery Center's rental network contracts (Beech Street and MultiPlan) through which its claims are processed did not clarify what information is required to be disclosed on the billing form. The court concluded that a lower district court erred in ruling that the Surgery Center's billing practices (not disclosing that it had waived the patient's obligation) are not fraudulent under Pennsylvania state law.
The issue of waiver of patient copays rarely arises with respect to the Medicare program because the Office of Inspector General has issued several guidance documents and fraud alerts waning providers against this particular practice. The OIG and other government agencies have articulated a longstanding position that copay waivers inflate the amount Medicare pays for services.
In a 1984 OIG Fraud Alert, the OIG commented "if a supplier claims that its charge for a piece of equipment is $100.00, but routinely waives the copayment, the actual charge is $80.00." The OIG warned providers in the 1984 Fraud Alert that the routine waiver of Medicare copayments and deductibles can result in False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute violations.
In another recent case, a hematology-oncology physician group practice in New York agreed to pay $5.31 million to settle allegations of routinely waiving coinsurance amounts owed by Medicare beneficiaries. According to the complaint filed by a whistleblower, "the physician group routinely waived copayments, without making an individualized determination of financial hardship or exhausting reasonable collection efforts." Patients were given a pass because they had high balances, said they could not pay, or were frequent patients. According to the complaint, Hudson Valley often waived the associated copayment even if the patient did not request a waiver. Hudson Valley would note the automatic waiver in its billing system by indicating "9212 courtesy write-off."
Safeguards for Physicians
These cases are a reminder to physicians and other providers to: 1) implement clear, realistic guidelines for evaluating financial hardship; 2) maintain documentation of financial hardship determinations; and 3) engage in reasonable, documented efforts to collect amounts owed by patients. Providers should consider implementing these safeguards for all types of third-party payers, including Medicare and commercial payers.

Lethal Weapon season 3 episode 11 preview: Cole's cases collide
Lethal Weapon	 January 1, 2019
Want to know what's coming on Lethal Weapon season 3 episode 11 after what we're getting tonight on New Year's Day?
Related Lethal Weapon video! – Be sure to check out some insight right now on the series at the bottom of this article! Meanwhile, remember to subscribe to CarterMatt on YouTube for other insight and be sure to check out our official playlist.
We should start off this preview piece by issuing a bit of a reminder that there are five episodes left to go this season and with that, we do imagine that the drama is going to be pushing itself forward at a fairly-rapid pace. It really has to in order for the writers to cover as much ground as they want in the event that this is the final season. (For now, this is still something that we have to consider as a possibility.)
So what is going to be coming up? Think in terms of Murtaugh getting his vacation reunited, the arrival of Erica's mother, and some personal drama across the board. Below, CarterMatt has the full Lethal Weapon season 3 episode 11 synopsis, with a little bit more information all about what you can expect:
Murtaugh takes a family vacation, but is pulled back into work when he witnesses an alleged abduction. Cole is left to investigate a murder himself, but the two cases begin to intersect. Meanwhile, Erica's (guest star Nishi Munshi) mother, Senator Malick (guest star Anna Khaja), comes to town and stirs things up between Erica, Cole and the case at hand in the all-new "Dial M for Murtaugh" episode of LETHAL WEAPON airing Tuesday, Jan. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (LET-311) (TV-14 D, L, V)
Overall, our inkling is that this episode could be a reminder for Murtaugh of some of the rigors of this job. If you recall, there were plenty of rumors that Damon Wayans was going to be leaving the show at the end of the season — ones mostly started by Wayans himself. If that does actually happen, it does make a little bit of sense in order to have a storyline where Murtaugh could theoretically leave down the road, just in case you need it. While we're not sure being pulled away from vacation would be an impetus for such an enormous decision, it could be one stepping stone of many that eventually brings him to that decision point.
Ultimately, let's just mark this down as something that we can watch and check out a little bit further down the road.

Singles Day 2018: Alibaba Sets New Sales Records
Alibaba has set new sales records on November 11 for its biggest shopping day, the annual Singles Day.
The Chinese internet giant hit a record $1 billion in sales in 85 seconds, and then just shy of $10 billion in the first hour of the 24-hour spree.
In total, customers spent $30.8 billion, up 27% on last year, but the lowest annual increase in the history of Singles Day.
Online discounts have been offered on 11.11, Alibaba's informal holiday for singles, since 2009.
Singles Day 2016: Alibaba Announces Record $18BN Sales
Singles Day 2015: Alibaba Breaks Sales Record
Singles Day 2014: Alibaba sells $2 billion of goods in first hour of world's biggest online retail sales day
Alibaba Group chief executive Daniel Zhang said the spending bonanza demonstrated "customers' continued pursuit to upgrade their everyday lifestyles".
Singles Day was kicked off on November 10 with a gala featuring Mariah Carey, a Japanese Beyoncé impersonator and a shoe-shopping-themed Cirque du Soleil performance.
Alibaba invented the sale event to celebrate the unattached as an antithesis to the romantically involved on Valentine's Day.
According to Bloomberg, Singles Day is now the world's biggest online sales event and this year's total was more than Black Friday and Cyber Monday's totals combined.
Some 180,000 brands are available in the shopping blitz, including top technology companies Xaomi, Apple and Dyson.
In 2017, Alibaba expanded the event to the Western market, with downloads of its app AliExpress surging in the US and UK.
The shopping frenzy has broken world records in e-commerce sales – surpassing last year's record at 17:34 Hong Kong Time.
However, observers believe as the event matures, its growth rate will slow down.
This year Alibaba has also faced new challenges, such as new rivals in the market, a slowing economy and its stock dropping 16% thanks to China's trade war with the US.
The November sale event is expected to be founder Jack Ma's last at the helm of Alibaba. The current chief executive will take over as chairman in 2019, Alibaba announced in September.
Alibaba has announced record sales record its annual Singles Day event.
The e-commerce giant said sales this year had reached 121 billion yuan ($18 billion), a rise of 32% on 2015 sales which were worth $14.3 billion.
However, some have questioned the accuracy of the numbers, amid claims of inflated sales data at Chinese online retailers.
Merchants passing off counterfeit goods as genuine is also a problem in the industry.
The company reported 82% of purchases had been made on mobile phones during Singles Day.
Alibaba has also been experimenting with new technology including augmented reality and virtual reality to give shoppers other ways of buying items.
This year's Singles Day had a blistering start with sales hitting $5 billion in the first hour, Alibaba said, though that total included pre-orders made by customers who could "lock in" prices. It took 90 minutes to hit that milestone in 2015.
Singles Day is held every year on November 11. The day is also referred to as Double Eleven because of its date.
Originally claimed as a celebration for China's young singletons, Alibaba turned it into a shopping bonanza in 2009.
While Alibaba is undeniably the driving force behind Singles Day, other retailers have also started to piggyback off the idea, including extending the concept to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Alibaba's rival JD.com, which focuses more on electronics, reported receiving more orders in the first nine hours of trading on Friday than it had done during the whole of Singles Day 2014.
JD.com said sales passed last year's Singles Day total in the early afternoon, but gave no figures.
As has now become tradition, Singles Day was kicked off with a televised gala event which this year included a performances by One Republic and appearances by basketball legend Kobe Bryant, soccer legend David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham.
Katy Perry, who had been scheduled to perform, withdrew citing a family emergency.
Analysts have predicted this year's Singles Day could see Alibaba rack up sales of $20 billion despite a slowdown in China's economy, partly due to the event having a broader audience.

Prologue to The Fisherman's Wife
The Fisherman's Wife: The Gospel According to St. Peter's Wife
Fictionalized Bible stories and lives of the saints have always fascinated me. I grew up reading Gladys Malvern's Behold Your Queen! (Esther) and The Foreigner (Ruth) as well as Louis de Wohl's The Glorious Folly (Paul), The Restless Flame (St. Augustine), and The Joyful Beggar (St. Francis of Asissi). Little did I know that someday I would write a book about the wife of St. Peter, the apostle.
I named my heroine Miriam, disregarding the legend that calls her Perpetua, which is a Latin name, not a Jewish one. Miriam in its several forms was a common name for Jewish women. Witness the confusing number of Marys in the Gospels!
My task of writing the story of St. Peter's wife was more challenging than I expected. My familiarity with God's Word and the knowledge I gleaned from writing Scripture-based books for many years served me well. Still, The Fisherman's Wife required much research on first-century Jewish women, the town of Capernaum, and the geography of Israel. What did people eat back then? How many miles was it from Capernaum to Jerusalem? What are the steps for making bread or cloth?
Also, many assumptions need to be checked. For example, would people eat a raw olive? No, it would be too bitter. Would Peter's children play with dolls and toy animals? Probably not, because images were prohibited. Was Saul thrown from a horse when Jesus spoke to him on the way to Damascus? No, contrary to paintings like Caravaggio's "Conversion on the Way to Damascus," Jewish people ordinarily didn't ride horses. Did the nails of the crucified go through their palms? No, palms could not support the weight of a human body.
Another challenge was avoiding anachronisms. Thanks to reference books and the Internet, I learned a number of things. Jesus didn't wear a yarmulke, the Jewish skullcap, because it wasn't the custom in the first century. Peter's wife would not conjecture that mosquitoes infected her mother with malaria because the source for this disease had not yet been discovered. The term bombshell would not be part of Miriam's vocabulary because bombs were invented centuries after she lived. No doubt, some inaccuracies still weaseled their way into the text. My apologies!
One challenge ironically turned out to be an advantage: a great deal about the life and times of Jesus remains a mystery. We don't even know what Jesus looked like. Did he have a beard? It's debatable. On what mountain did Peter witness the transfiguration of Jesus? No one knows for sure. Besides the apostles, who was present at the last supper, which may or may not have been a Passover meal? There is no record. Different theories have been proposed regarding Gospel personages and events, and conflicting traditions and legends abound. At times the Gospels themselves do not agree. This ambiguity left me free to make my own decisions in shaping Miriam's story. For instance, one theory is that Peter's wife died before Jesus cured his mother-in-law. Adopting that theory would result in a very short book! Instead I depended on the writings of Clement of Alexandria (150–220 A.D.) for the time of Miriam's death.
My wish is that The Fisherman's Wife will enlighten people about the Jewish culture that gave birth to Christianity. I also hope it will lead them to appreciate the faith and courage of those first Christians who gave up everything to follow Jesus. Most of all, after seeing Jesus through Miriam's eyes, may readers come to view him more personally. And may this new vision awaken in them a deeper love of our Lord and a stronger commitment to him.

Q: How to finish multiple activities on logout android In my app i am starting activities one after the another and not finishing any activity before calling another. But when user presses logout button then i want to finish all the activities from the stack and start login activity.

Activity Login(finish & call) --> Activity B --> Activity C-->
  Activity D --> Logout
  -->Acitivity Login.

If user presses back key on login activity then he returns to Activity C in my case... but i want to avoid that.

A: What you should do is call Login activity, and clear all activities above it in the stack.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Login.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

This will flag it to create a new login activity, not just resume the previous one. And clear all activities above it. (B, C, D).

A: I don't know if it will going to help, but you could try to add to your manifest's declared activities (B, C, D) the following tag:
android:noHistory='true'

the activity should be removed from the activity stack and finished
  (its finish() method called) when the user navigates away from it and
  it's no longer visible on screen

Take a look here.

Tech and plants is not a new thing in the commercial plant growing space but it sure is when talking about taking care of plants on your balcony! Plant tech had quite a few new gadgets pop up over the last year and one of the coolest is Parrot's Flower Power.
Parrot's Flower Power makes gardening easier for everyone from novices to experts. It assesses your plants needs and sends that information to your smartphone. The device can be used on plants in the ground or in a pot. It measures the four key things that a plant needs to survive: Sunlight, Temperature, Fertilizer, and Moisture.
There are over 7,000 plants in the Flower Power database to help you take care of your plant. One of the best features of Parrot's Flower Power is the chart plotting and log that comes with the app. It shows you just what happens when you move your plant or even how basic watering affects its growth.
No more second guessing if your plants need water or more light – Parrot's Flower Power will send you an alert to your smart phone and tablet and let you know. Now you too can have a green thumb!
As someone who has killed way more than her fair share of plants, I can't even begin to tell you how valuable a tool this would be for me! Parrot's Flower Power is available on Amazon for $49.91. Obviously, this isn't something you'd want to put in every single plant in your house, or you'd end up spending a small fortune. However, since it can be used outside as well, you could put it in one flower bed and monitor several plants at once. If you do buy several of them, you can monitor all your Flower Powers from one app. Very handy!
Have you tried Parrot's Flower Power? What do you think of it? Tell us in the comments!
I usually kill everything I plant! This would be great for me!
I have to admit I do not have a green thumb at all! I would love to try this though, perhaps it would be a help!
I do not have a green thumb but my daughter just asked me yesterday if we could start one. I will have to try this.
Great post, I wish I had room and time to garden. What great tips.
Well for those of us like me who have a black thumb instead of a green one-this could be a most awesome invention indeed. It's amazing what technology can do these days!!!

Album Review: I Decided
February 16, 2017 Reviews, Spring 2017, Topstory Leave a comment 3,439 Views
Written by Kevin Paul, Contributor
G.O.O.D Music signee "Big Sean" debuted his fourth studio album, "I Decided." establishing his first mark for 2017.
After startling the world with lead singles such as "Moves" and "Bounce Back", the anticipation for Sean's album spontaneously electrified, and for good reason. "I Decided" is Sean's best album yet, even if there may be flaws within its sculpture.
Sean's previous solo album, "Dark Sky Paradise" was loaded with features that propelled the album into the mainstream spotlight, but didn't seem to catch the essence of Big Sean. "I Decided.", however, is lean on features but firm with its execution as Sean's collaborations accent his growth. The intro to "I Decided" introduces the listener to a new landscape within Sean's mind, opening with a monologue narrated by an older version of Sean, setting the album's theme of life choices and second chances, as the Detroit-native stated on Jimmy Fallon.
After setting the stage for "I Decided.", the intro soon bridges into "Light", as Jeremih's soulful tone serves as a plateau to Sean's introspective bars. This is immediately forgotten as "Bounce Back" breaks through the mold with gliding 808 bass, gated synths, and lo-fi kicks while still maintaining the same nocturnal vibe that was first introduced.
"I Decided." then takes a turn towards a darker side as "No Favors" creeps in with heavy bars paired with an aggressive mood with lines such as, "Don, don, don life, I do this for the crib, the D to Flint/ Kids who get sick with lead, others get hit with the lead/ From where they need a handout/ But they tell you put hands up.", addressing lines about Flint's current environmental crisis while also later alluding to rumors that certain artists such as "Drake" took his rap style. However, Eminem's feature on "No Favors" seems abrasive for the pair, as something as technical as the sound quality of Em's verse seems off; yet, this small negative is soon eclipsed by Eminem's lyricism.
The cadence of "Bounce Back" is soon trailed by "Moves", supplied with a high bell and ice-cream-truck-type melody behind synchronized snares and kicks, giving Sean a 2 out of 2 when it comes to the album's singles. From the catchy and memorable hooks to the entertaining bars, both tracks serve as bright spots within the nocturnal theme.
Songs such as "Halfway Off The Balcony" and "Voices In My Head" present the strongest detail about "I Decided." as Sean presents ideas and short interludes that seem genuine and sincere. "Voices In My Head" creates a dreamy yet dreadful atmosphere, with Big Sean's conscious screaming about self-conflicting choices such as,
"Voices in my head sayin' that I knew better/ I done seen this sh*t happen a hundred times on the regular/ But I still crossed the line like I'm blind, d*mn/ Voices in my head saying I could do better".
As the album comes to a close, Sean invites Offset and Quavo to decimate the trap-influenced beat "Sacrifices", while having The Flint Chozen Choir and Starrah provide a gospel-inspired sound to "Bigger Than Me", both hitting the mark with its intention.
Yet Big Sean's main dilemma with "I Decided." is that out of 14 tracks, only a handful are memorable. The second half of "Voices In My Head" titled "Stick To The Plan", switches ineffectively while repetitively saying "Stick to the plan." "Same Time Pt.1" and "Owe Me" are both tracks that could be deducted from the album and not be detrimental to the album's cohesiveness.
Even if there are tracks that are nonessential, "I Decided." is Big Sean's most essential album yet, as Sean steps up his lyricism, provides a cohesive sound, and promotes positivity within his lyrics while keeping his self-identity. Shining over "Dark Sky Paradise", if you had to introduce someone to a Big Sean album, "I Decided." is where you should start.

Somebody get Ellen DeGeneres' attention, because a Minnesota fourth-grader's inspirational performance of John Lennon's "Imagine" is blowing up social media and bringing everyone to tears. Michelle Cavarnos Kornowski posted a three-and-a-half minute video of her son, Adam, playing the piano and singing Lennon's signature song at the Lakeside Elementary school talent show. "There wasn't a parent in the room with a dry eye by the end," Kornowski said in the post, which has been shared more than 160,000 times as of Saturday afternoon. The video has garnered more than 6 million views, prompting some Facebook commenters to say Adam should audition for shows like "America's Got Talent" or appear on "Ellen." At the end of the heartwarming rendition, Adam took a small bow, and the audience applauded for what seemed like an eternity, Kornowski said."Imagine" is one of the 100 most-performed songs of the 20th century, according to Broadcast Music, Inc. And we think Adam's performance is simply one of the best.

Border Patrol Agents Apprehend Group of 37 from Africa
EAGLE PASS, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Eagle Pass Station apprehended a group of 37 undocumented immigrants from Central Africa on Saturday.
"We are continuing to see a rise in apprehensions of immigrants from countries not normally encountered in our area," said Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Raul L. Ortiz. "Groups of family units from around the world are traveling thousands of miles just enter the United States illegally to exploit our immigration laws."
On June 1, agents performing line watch operations arrested a group of 37 undocumented immigrants the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, two countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, after they illegally entered the United States by crossing the Rio Grande River. The group was composed almost entirely of family units, including several small children. They were transported to the Eagle Pass South Border Patrol Station and processed per U.S. Customs and Border Protection guidelines.
Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 2019, which began Oct. 1, 2018, agents have apprehended more than 27,000 people from countries other than Mexico, from approximately 37 different countries. Del Rio Sector's apprehensions of non-Mexican migrants this year has increased by nearly 500 percent over the same period in Fiscal Year 2018.
The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is part of the Joint Task Force-West South Texas Corridor, which leverages federal, state and local resources to combat transnational criminal organizations. To report suspicious activity call the Del Rio Sector's toll free number at 1-866-511-8727.


REGIONAL— A good season for the Northeast Range/Ely girls swim team ended with a nice accolade, as the team was named the winner of a Gold Academic Award, an honor reserved for teams with a GPA between 3.75 and 4.00 for athletes in grades 10-12. The award was announced following competition in the Section 7A finals held Nov. 8-10.
NER/Ely posted several finishes in the top 15 in the sectional meet, including 11th place finishes in the 200 yard medley relay as well as the 200 yard freestyle relay. Morgan McClelland, Kelly Thompson, Lily Tedrick, and Abby Koivisto proved a strong combination in the medley, while Kayla Mellesmoen, Koivisto, Tedrick and Thompson claimed 11th place in the freestyle event.
Brooke Pasmick also finished 11th in the 100 yard backstroke.
In addition, Mellesmoen finished 14th in the 50 yard freestyle and the 100 freestyle events.
"We had a season with the team working hard on conditioning and improving technique," said Head Coach Lynn Gulbrandson. "The girls improved all season and we had numerous lifetime best times in every meet," she said.

Autumn Performance Report
The Secretary of State for Health (Alan Johnson): I have today laid before Parliament my Department's Autumn Performance Report for 2008 (Cm 7519). Copies for hon. Members are available from the Vote Office.
The Autumn Performance Report provides the first public reporting of progress on our public service agreements, departmental strategic objectives and value for money targets set for this comprehensive spending review period.
Meat Products (Dioxins)
The Minister of State, Department of Health (Dawn Primarolo): On 6 December 2008 the Irish Government announced that levels of dioxins and polychlorinated
15 Dec 2008 : Column 81WS
biphenyls (PCBs) exceeding the maximum permitted levels had been found in animal feed and pork fat in the Republic of Ireland.
Maximum levels for dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in meat, fish, eggs, milk and other foods have been set by the European Commission. These are set at a very low level in order to reduce consumer exposure as much as possible. Levels of dioxins found in pork fat from the Republic of Ireland were reported to be 80 to 200 times greater than the permitted maximum levels.
The Irish Government advised that it was recalling all pork and pork products made in the Republic of Ireland since 1 September 2008.
Pork derived from pigs reared, slaughtered and processed in Northern Ireland is not affected by this incident. However, 13 meat processing plants in Northern Ireland had received pork from the Republic of Ireland.
On the basis of this information, the Food Standards Agency issued precautionary advice to consumers not to eat pork or pork products, such as sausages, bacon, salami and ham, labelled as being from the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.
During the course of last week, additional information became available on which farms in the Republic of Ireland had received contaminated feed. This enabled food retailers and manufacturers to trace their supplies of pork and identify if it has been affected. The current position is that in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe shops, manufacturers and caterers that can trace the origin of any pork directly to a farm that is unaffected by contaminated feed are able to continue selling their products. The food businesses will need to be able to demonstrate to local authorities that any pork on sale is unaffected.
Food businesses are being advised to test products such as pork pies and sausages that contain more than 20 per cent.of Irish pork from affected farms to make sure that they do not contain illegal levels of dioxins. Products that contain less than 20 per cent. of Irish pork do not have to be tested or withdrawn from sale.
From the information that we have at this time we consider the risk to consumers from this incident to have been very low. Consumers have been advised not to worry if they think they may have eaten affected products. The Food Standards Agency's assessment is that health effects are likely only if people are exposed to relatively high levels of this contaminant for long periods; that will not have occurred as a result of this incident.
This view has been supported by the assessment from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). They have advised that if someone ate Irish pork of which 10 per cent. was affected by the contamination, each day throughout the past 90 days, the amount of chemicals that accumulate in the body would increase by approximately 10 per cent. EFSA considers this increase to be of no concern for this event lasting approximately three months. In the UK, the level of exposure will be much lower because most pork on the market is not from Ireland.
It has also been confirmed that the contaminated feed has been supplied to cattle farms in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Irish Government has concluded on the basis of its testing of affected cattle that there is no public health risk associated with beef.
Samples are being taken from carcasses in Northern Ireland and the results will determine the course of action to be taken. The Food Standards Agency is following the European Commission's advised approach that neither pigs nor cattle should be cleared solely on the basis of PCB marker results but should await full dioxin test results.
Eight affected cattle herds in Northern Ireland are currently under restrictions. Cattle and carcasses from these herds will remain restricted and will not enter the food chain until the Food Standards Agency and the European Commission are fully satisfied that, from the results, the cattle from these herds are fit to eat. Investigations are continuing to establish whether any potentially affected beef had entered the market prior to restrictions being put in place. Farmers and the food industry are acting responsibly and fully co-operating with the authorities.
Autumn Performance Report 2008
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Jacqui Smith): The Home Office Autumn Performance Report 2008 (Cm 7512) has been laid before Parliament and published today.
The report provides an update on performance against the targets we set in the 2004 Spending Review and any 2002 targets that are still current. It shows that we have met our targets to reduce crime, increase confidence and bring more offences to justice. The latest data also show that we are ahead of our target to reduce unfounded asylum intake and we are on course to reduce the harm caused by drugs.
It includes our first report against the 2007 Public Service Agreements that are led by the Home Office and came into effect in April this year. These PSAs are: ensure controlled, fair migration that protects the public and contributes to economic growth; make communities safer; reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drugs; and reducing the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from international terrorism.
The report also includes information on our progress with implementing outstanding Public Accounts Committee recommendations.
Copies of the report are available in the Vote Office. The Report is also available on the Home Office website.
Control Order Powers
The Minister for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing (Vernon Coaker): Section 14(1) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (the 2005 Act) requires the Secretary of State to report to Parliament as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of every relevant three month period on the exercise of the control order powers during that period.
The level of information provided will always be subject to slight variations based on operational advice.
Control orders continue to be an essential tool to protect the public from terrorism, particularly where it is not possible to prosecute individuals for terrorism-related activity and, in the case of foreign nationals, where they cannot be removed from the UK.
As stated in previous quarterly statements on control orders, control order obligations are tailored to the individual concerned and are based on the terrorism-related risk that individual poses. Each control order is kept under regular review to ensure that obligations remain necessary and proportionate. The Home Office continues to hold Control Order Review Groups (CORGs) every quarter, with representation from law enforcement and intelligence agencies, to keep the obligations in every control order under regular and formal review and to facilitate a review of appropriate exit strategies. During this reporting period, seven CORGs were held in relation to the orders currently in force. In addition, further meetings were held on an ad-hoc basis as specific issues arose.
In total, 15 control orders are currently in force, four of which are in respect of British citizens. Three individuals subject to a control order live in the Metropolitan Police Service area; the remaining individuals live in other police force areas. All of these control orders are non-derogating. Two individuals have been charged with breaching their control order obligations; no prosecutions for breaching a control order were completed during this reporting period.
During this reporting period, 96 modifications of control order obligations were made. Twenty-three requests to modify a control order obligation were refused. A right of appeal is provided for by section 10(1) of the 2005 Act against a decision by the Secretary of State to renew a non-derogating control order or to modify an obligation imposed by a non-derogating control order without consent. A right of appeal is also provided for by section 10(3) of the 2005 Act against decisions by the Secretary of State to refuse a request by a controlled person to revoke their order and or to modify any obligation under the order. Two appeals have been lodged with the High Court by controlled persons relating to modifications to orders or the renewal of orders in this reporting period, one of which has been withdrawn.
Both the Secretary of State and the controlled person have appealed to the Court of Appeal in this reporting period in the case of Secretary of State for the Home Department v. Abu Rideh, subsequent to the judgment of the High Court in the substantive review of Abu Rideh's control order handed down in the last reporting period. Another controlled person has applied to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal against a High Court judgment in relation to a modification appeal handed down in the last reporting period.
Five judgments have been handed down by the High Court in control order cases during this reporting period and one judgment has been handed down by the Court of Appeal. Two of these High Court judgments were in relation to modification appeals. In Secretary of State for the Home Department v. AM a judgment was handed down on 11 September 2008. The court looked at a number of modification requests and ruled in favour of the controlled person for some of the requests and in favour of the Secretary of State for one. A judgment was handed down in the case of Secretary of State for
the Home Department v. AS on 3 October 2008. The court ruled in favour of the controlled person subject to a number of conditions agreed between the parties.
On 14 November 2008, the High Court handed down judgment in the case of Secretary of State for the Home Department v. AR, AT, AU, AV and AW. The judgment related to the generic aspects of the case against five individuals who are subject to control orders. The court found that the proceedings, thus far, were compatible with Article 6—right to a fair trial—of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The judgment was provisional and will form the background for the substantive review of each of the individual cases under section 3(10) of the 2005 Act.
On 17 October 2008 the High Court handed down a judgment in relation to an application made by The Times Newspapers Ltd to the court to lift the anonymity order in the case of AY. This application was opposed both by the Secretary of State and AY. The court ruled that the anonymity order should remain in place. The Times Newspapers Ltd was granted permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal but no appeal was lodged with the Court of Appeal.
On 24 November 2008 the High Court handed down an oral judgment in the case of Secretary of State for the Home Department v. NN. This judgment, relating to the substantive review of NN's control order under section 3(10) of the 2005 Act, quashed NN's control order. A written judgment will be handed down at a later date.
The Court of Appeal handed down judgment in the case of Secretary of State for the Home Department v. AE, AF, AM and AN on 17 October 2008. The Court of Appeal upheld the appeals of the Secretary of State in the cases of AN and AF in relation to Article 6 of the ECHR and dismissed the appeal of AE in relation to Article 6. The Court of Appeal dismissed AE's appeal in relation to Article 5—right to liberty— of the ECHR. The appeal of the Secretary of State in the case of AM was also dismissed. The Court of Appeal sought to interpret the judgment of the House of Lords in October 2007 in the cases of MB and AF relating to Article 6. In summary, the majority found that there is no principle that a hearing will be unfair in the absence of open disclosure of an irreducible minimum allegation or evidence. The majority also found that in assessing whether a hearing had been unfair the court must look at all the circumstances of the case including the steps taken to disclose material in open, the effectiveness of the special advocates and the difference that disclosure may have made. The Court of Appeal granted permission for AE, AF and AN to appeal to the House of Lords on Article 6 grounds.
Full judgments in most of these cases are available at: http://www.bailii.org/
Use of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings
The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice (David Hanson): In a written ministerial statement on 29 October 2008, Official Report, column 33WS, my right hon. Friend the Minister for Children, Young People and Families and I announced our intention to publish the
report of the Joint Review of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings by 15 December, together with the Government's response.
I have today laid before Parliament the Government Response to the Review of the Use of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings (Cm 7501). I am with my right
hon. Friend the Minister for Children, Young People and Families also today publishing the report of the Joint Review of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings. Copies of the Review have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses, the Vote Office and the Printed Paper Office. They can also be accessed on the websites of the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Ministry of Justice: http://publications.dcsf.gov.uk and www.justice.gov.uk/publications/restraint-review.htm and www.justice.gov.uk/publications/govt-response-restraint-review.htm
The Joint Review looked in depth at the range of issues relating to use of restraint, particularly the question of safety. It recommends substantial changes in relation to the systems approved for use in young offender institutions and secure training centres. It also recommends that all systems used in the under-18 secure estate should be accredited and proposes significant improvements relating to training, monitoring, inspection and reporting.
We have accepted almost all of the review's recommendations. We are very grateful to Peter Smallridge and Andrew Williamson, the co-chairs of the review, for the work they have done to illuminate this important and sensitive area of policy and for the practical proposals they have made. We believe that the Joint Review and the steps we are taking in response to it should make possible a broad measure of agreement on questions relating to use of restraint in the under-18 secure estate. We will make available an additional £4.9 million over the next two years to support the package of measures to drive change, including enhanced training in working with young people, defusing difficult situations and behaviour management, so that we can be certain that restraint is only ever used as a last resort and with vigorous safeguards.
A number of other documents relating to safeguarding in the under-18 estate are also being published today. The youth justice elements of the Government's response to the 3rd Joint Chief Inspectors' Report on Safeguarding can be accessed on the DCSF website http://www.dcsf. gov.uk/publications/safeguardingchildrenresponse/; the Youth Justice Board is publishing its review of safeguarding in the under-18 secure estate www.yjb.gov.uk/en-gb/safeguarding; and we are updating the action plan we published in March in response to the recommendations of the coroners following the inquests into the deaths of Gareth Myatt and Adam Rickwood www.justice.gov.uk/publications/response-coroners-inquests-dec08.htm
The Secretary of State for Transport (Mr. Geoffrey Hoon): I have today published my Department's Autumn Performance Report for 2008 (CM7510). Copies have been laid before Parliament and placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
The Autumn Performance Report provides Parliament with a progress report on performance against the Departmental Strategic Objectives, Public Service Agreements (PSAs) and our efficiency programme using data available up to November 2008.
Renewable Transport Fuel Targets (Gallagher Review)
The Secretary of State for Transport (Mr. Geoffrey Hoon): I would like to update the House on the Government's progress against commitments set out by my predecessor, my right hon. Friend the Member for Bolton, West (Ruth Kelly), in her statement on biofuels on 7 July 2008, responding to 'The Gallagher Review of the indirect effects of biofuels production'.
As part of that response to the Gallagher Review, the Government made a commitment that the EU target of 10 per cent. renewable transport fuels by 2020 could remain an overall objective but that it should be subject to certain conditions, namely: that the sustainability criteria applicable to the target should address the indirect as well as direct effects on land use; and that the 10 per cent. target be subject to rigorous review to take account of the emerging evidence.
The 10 per cent. target is part of the renewable energy directive due to be approved by the European Parliament this week and adopted by the Council in the New Year, following negotiations between the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament.
The principle of a rigorous review of the 10 per cent. target received strong support from the Council and the European Parliament and the directive put forward for approval requires the Commission to, by 2014, review the cost-efficiency and sustainability of the target and, if appropriate on the basis of that review, submit proposals to the Council and the European Parliament to take action.
The UK Government have led the debate in Europe on the need to address the indirect effects of biofuels on land use and so ensure that the renewable energy directive will include sustainability criteria that address these indirect effects. The directive put forward for approval requires the Commission to, by 31 December 2010, submit a report to the Council and the European Parliament on the impact of indirect land use change on greenhouse gas emissions. This report shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a proposal for a methodology through which the greenhouse gas emissions caused by indirect land use change will be taken into account, with a view to the Council and European Parliament endeavouring to agree this methodology by 2012.
This recognises the fact that the scientific evidence around the indirect effects of biofuels is not yet certain enough to develop such a methodology now. However, the pace of research into indirect land use change has been accelerating rapidly. The UK Government themselves are working with international partners and scientific experts to develop a biofuels research programme which will aim to address gaps in the evidence around the indirect effects of biofuels and through this group we will help ensure that development of any methodology to take into account indirect land use change is based on the best available science.

adobe premiere elements... is not recognising it's own created files!!
having purchased the software for photoshop and premiere elements as a package from a retail shop last year I would have expected to have had no glitches. However, my adobeID was not recognisable when I went to register it so I have had to (twice now) download the packages from the internet. the first time I did so the two products worked fine. then we had to purchase a new laptop ... so I had to download the products all over again. After this I created a short film and converted it to .mpg. the conversion was imperfect... there were a couple of glitches (at the start the images freezes) so I went back in to see how to fix this and the program will not recognise or open the .prel files!

oil on pine panel
19 1/8 by 14 1/4 in.; 48.5 by 36.3 cm.
Archduke Maximilian d'Este;
By whom given in the mid-19th century to an ancestor of Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma;
Thence by descent to Price Xavier of Bourbon-Parma, Paris, until at least 1962;
Thence by inheritance to Prince Carlos Javier Bourbon, Brussels;
By whom sold, London, Sotheby's, 12 December 2002, lot 48; for £60,000;
There acquired.
S. Béguin, "A new painting by Niccolò dell'Abbate," in Apollo 1962, pp. 204-209, reproduced p. 204, fig. 1 (as Niccolò dell'Abate and datable to 1547-1552).
The provenance of this painting, reputedly coming from the Este family of Modena, appears to be substantiated by the fact that the painting is exactly the sort of work one might have expected to find in their collection: a Parmese picture, influenced by Correggio, Parmigianino, Bedoli, and Dosso Dossi.
The painting at the time of its restoration was attributed to Niccolò dell'Abate, an attribution first put forward by Béguin in 1962 (see Literature) which no longer seems plausible. She dated the painting to Dell'Abate's Bolognese period, between 1547 and 1552, a dating which seems just a fraction too late. Furthermore she compares and illustrates a number of drawings and paintings, some of which have been since reattributed to Parmigianino. The painting's style seems more akin to the circle of Parmigianino, Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli and even Michelangelo Anselmi. David Ekserdjian, who inspected the painting when it was offered in 2002 (see Provenance), suggested quite plausibly that the panel is by the same hand as an altarpiece in a Milanese private collection formerly attributed to Parmigianino and to Bedoli but which is most likely by the Maestro di Sant'Uldarico.1 The present panel is undoubtedly by an artist working in Parma, and its Parmigianinesque qualities indicate that it almost certainly post-dates Parmigianino's return to the city in 1630.
X-radiographs of the painting, first undertaken and published by Béguin (see Literature), reveal a number of changes made by the artist directly onto the panel. There is an important pentimento in the position of the Christ Child, who initially faced outwards and was therefore far less dynamically posed. The window too has been changed: it was originally rectangular, the opening narrower and taller. The face and expression of the Virgin also appear to have been altered; her eyes were thought to have looked in a different direction and now the face has a less natural, almost mask-like appearance. The male saint, probably Saint Joseph, draws his fingers up to his lips in an air of contemplation, a gesture which appears to have been covered up in the past with a beard. It is not surprising that changes were made directly on the panel, for much of the painting appears to have been swiftly executed: the landscape displays a freedom reminiscent of Dosso Dossi, and the cameo on the Madonna's right shoulder has a quickly painted portrait of a man in profile.
1. See M. di Giampaolo, Girolamo Bedoli 1500-1569, Florence 1997, pp. 144-5, no. 49, reproduced.
Estimation 30 000 — 40 000
The panel is made of a single board with a slight vertical warp. The paint surface is clean and has been restored well. UV light reveals some scattered retouches, notably in the face and chest of the virgin which appear as parallel vertical repairs, possibly to restore old cracks in the panel, and scattered to a lesser degree elsewhere. The painting could conceivably be hung in its current state. In a carved wooden frame

The conventional wisdom says everything on network TV is in decline.
Network news is a dinosaur crawling to the boneyard. The networks don't have one drama that can start to compete with cable or Netflix. And I dare you to name six sitcoms that you would admit watching.
But then there's late night as it's been reinvigorated on NBC this year, with Jimmy Fallon replacing Jay Leno and "Saturday Night Live's" Seth Meyers taking over the 12:35 a.m. slot. Both are in first place in the ratings, and the last thing either can be accused of is getting there by dumbing it down.

Conservation districts train educators to bring resource awareness to the classroom
"We are seeing huge problems with soil erosion, and a lot of it is due to the numbers of wild pigs on Guam," said Angie Mendiola vice chairwoman of the Southern Soil and Water Conservation District. "They dig up the soil and it washes away."
Hope Cristobal, chairwoman of the Northern District, said there are concerns about bacteria from pig feces reaching Guam's drinking water, and the failure of new plants to grow because of soil disruption.
The Southern District, along with the Northern District, were created by law to work with government officials and the university to control erosion, prevent flooding and improve the management of water used for agriculture.
Mendiola is also dealing with concerns about the Ugum watershed, which has repeatedly interfered with the water supply to southern residents because of muddiness caused by soil erosion on the banks.
"We're working on these issues, reaching out to the Legislature, and sometimes even the legislators are like, 'Oh wow, this is happening?'" Mendiola said. "So we're bringing awareness to every level of the community."
The Northern and Southern Soil and Water Conservation Districts of Guam, in cooperation with Guam Department of Education, hosted a 3-day symposium at the University of Guam, designed to teach educators about conservation issues, which they will develop into lesson plans for their students.
This year's theme, "Where Does Your Water Shed?" focused on challenges to Guam's watersheds, water consumption and sustainability, water resources and the military, coastal resources and coral reefs.
Guam Community College tourism and hospitality professor Eric Chong, as the head of the Hospitality and Tourism Management Program at Simon Sanchez High School, said he was intrigued to learn about conservation issues through the lens of curriculum development.
"I always tell my students, if it's good for us, it's good for the tourists. If you don't care about this place, you think the people coming from Japan will care about this place?" Chong said. "You look at that cleanup of the dump site in Dededo recently. Every year we have to do this."
"It's lack of awareness," Chong said. "We've got to start taking care of our own island, our own yards."
"We have different topics every year," Cristobal said. "We teach the educators about issues in conservation on Guam, and then they develop ways to teach it in the classroom."
The symposium, which is entirely a volunteer effort, is also the only event of its kind among the approximately 3,000 national soil and water conservation districts in the United States, Cristobal said.
"So now the other districts are looking at Guam, to see if they can develop a similar program," Cristobal said.
"A lot of kids learn about everything from social media, but we want them to have more connection with nature. A lot of them have no idea about water, and it's the future of our island," Mendiola said. "Many of these teachers didn't even know much, and they're now hoping to connect children to our natural resources and help them take care of it."
"It was impactful because I saw the passion about how we need to care for our land and water, and so hopefully every one of us has something to bring back," Chong said. "We can touch the lives of the younger people and it can just grow. I already signed up for next year."
Spreading awareness is increasingly important in the face of major issues facing the conservation districts, Mendiola said.

South Korea: Plasma Donation by Shincheonji Church Facilitates Development of the Vaccine for COVID-19
Sep 2, 2020 | World
Over 1,000 members participated in donating plasma for the cure of COVID-19.
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, September 02, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ — On August 27th, over 1,000 members of religious organization called Shincheonji Church of Jesus participated in donating plasma for the cure of COVID-19.
This is carried out under the invitation of the health authorities in South Korea back on 24th, asking Shincheonji Church to cooperate for donating additional plasma for the development of the vaccine.
Early this year, around 5,000 confirmed cases were found in Shincheonji Church members with most infections from the city of Daegu, while most of them recovered from the virus with 11 deaths.
According to the report from the Korea Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (KCDC), 562 recovered members from the church registered to donate plasma and 409 completed donation in July through the cooperation between KCDC and Shincheonji Church. Facing the need for "facilitation of developing a cure through plasma donation and clinical trial", the KCDC asked another round of a large-scale donation by members of Shincheonji Church in August.
The KCDC in its official document expressed appreciation to Shincheonji Church (Chairman Lee, Man Hee) for "active participation in the collection of plasma as a group for the development of corona(virus) cure for the purpose of national health safety under the global crisis caused by the COVID-19."
"With the cooperation of Daegu city, Daegu Athletics Center plans to provide GC Pharma equipment and personnel (for the donation) from 27th August to 4th September. We express our gratitude to the city for providing a location for the group donations. We also express our gratitude to the congregation members of the religious organization, Shincheonji to be specific," said Mr. Kwon Jun-wook, Deputy Director of the KCDC.
Research and development of the convalescent plasma treatment is underway by National Institute of Health under the Ministry of Health and Welfare in cooperation with Green Cross (GC) Pharma, a biotechnology company in South Korea.
On the same day, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized an emergency use of convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19. Experts say that more data need to be collected to see the benefit of such treatment.
Major challenges of researching the effectiveness and the development of convalescent plasma treatment come from limited supply from donors who must be recovered from the virus.
As a religious leader, Chairman Lee, Man Hee of Shincheonji in July said, "This (plasma donation) is the work that needs to be done as citizens of this country and as true believers. It is keeping the command of Jesus of loving your neighbor as yourself (Mt 22:39 of the Bible)."

Multicultural workforce may be an issue for gay-friendly aged care: Kirby
Michael Kirby addressing providers in Perth. Photo: Richard O'Leary
The large number of migrant workers in the frontline aged care workforce who come from countries with less progressive attitudes may present a challenge to the implementation of the national gay and lesbian aged care strategy, former High Court justice Michael Kirby has said.
While migrant workers from developing countries brought skills and positive attributes, they often came from cultures that retained "the old hostility and objection" to LGBTI people and to the idea of homosexuality as a phenomenon, Mr Kirby told the ACSA/IAHSA Joint International Conference in Perth on Tuesday.
Mr Kirby, who was a High Court justice from 1996 to 2009, referred to the Philippines, which had struggled to implement laws against discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation and gender identity. "They've had a bill before the last seven congresses… but can't get it to move forward."
Michael Kirby tells #ACSA2015IAHSA that one of the major challenges in LGBTI strategy rollout will be attitudes of multicultural workforce
— Australian Ageing Agenda (@AustAgeAgenda) September 1, 2015
Research in 2010 had found that 86 per cent of workers in aged care facilities were unaware of the existence of LGBTI in aged care, which Mr Kirby said "indicated the level of knowledge and attitudes toward this minority in the aged care sector."
Mr Kirby said Australia had made a lot of progress on addressing discrimination and negative attitudes but the current cohort of LGBTI seniors – who had witnessed the change in attitudes among medical and legal professionals, and society in general – were now wondering if they had to "go back in the closet" as they entered aged care.
'Fasten your seat belts'
More broadly, Mr Kirby said that aged care providers, staff and families also needed to face up to the reality that older people in aged care had sexual desires and needs.
"The children with flowers in their hair are coming to aged care near you, and it's important that we start to think about how in aged care we deal with sexual expression of the entire cohort entering aged care… Fasten your seat belts, because this is something that needs to be considered," he said.
Sexual expression among residents and fulfilling their sexual needs was often a source of conflict for family members and providers, who may have concerns around exploitation, infection, embarrassment and financial implications, he said.
This was particularly the case when the sexual expression concerned reflected same-sex sexual orientation or a different sexual identity from the norm.
Investigations had shown that sexual desires and their manifestations were among the very last human feelings that close down as an individual declines in mental and physical capacity, Mr Kirby said. "The holocaust literature demonstrates that even in direst circumstances of degradation, terror and starvation, the sexual flame continue to burn," he said.

Michael Kirby makes a valid point particularly for residential care. While education strategies can help, people are essentially guided by their values and cultural influences of their country of origin or family. It takes a long time [and I know this as a migrant] to engage with the challenges of diversity be it sexuality, sex or gender. It's a process of continuous understanding and clarification of one's own ideas.. essentially an intellectual understanding of diversity.

Don't forget to subscribe to us!


Perhaps it's the economic climate we live in or simply one of those strange coincidences, but haggling over hacks seemed to be the big theme this week.
Unluckily for one guy – who wanted close to a 50% discount for an hour's ride for four people seeing as the "place was dead" – he tried to negotiate with one of our livery clients, a client who happens to think our horses are priceless let alone worth every cent they earn carrying tourists on their backs. Naturally, she gave him short shrift before phoning me to explain.
"Did you tell him that the place was dead because it's lunchtime and we don't work our horses at the hottest part of the day?" I asked.
As it happened, this unfortunate gentleman wasn't the only one to try and drive a bargain this week. Another group of tourists also tried to strike a deal, with no success. But though haggling is not unheard of, it is quite unusual, and to have a few similar inquiries in one week is striking. And it got me thinking.
I guess most people don't actually know what goes on behind the scenes when they book a ride. They arrive, their horses are ready and waiting, they get on and go. But for the staff and horses, preparations begin an hour before any client turns up.
After being brought in from their paddocks, the horses are thoroughly groomed – not just to make them look pretty – but in order to ensure they are comfortable when tacked up. Any dirt under a saddle or the girth can be extremely irritating and, trust me, you don't want to have an hour's ride on an irritated horse. In this extremely hot weather, we may sometimes need to shower the horses before they go out. The grooming also allows our staff to check for any potential problems, such as scratches or sores from rolling in the paddock. Then, after a liberal coating of fly repellent the horses are tacked up. Again, this all takes time.
When the horses return from their hacks, most clients will see their new friends whisked off to a nearby stable to cool down a little as they return to the club house to do their own cooling down. But of course, the end of a hack isn't the end of the story as each horse needs to be untacked, showered, returned to their paddocks, watered and fed.
Therefore, an hour's hack is closer to three hours work for both staff and horses, and we never charge more should an extra pair of feet on the ground be required to accompany a group of complete beginners who wish to experience a ride out to the Sea Caves.
Of course, we all understand that times are tough – and it is actually a very Cypriot way of doing business to try and get a deal on something – but perhaps when the behind-the-scenes care and amount of time needed is taken into consideration it might be more apparent about who is really getting the bargain here.

Lil' Romeo net worth is
Lil' Romeo Wiki Biography
Lil' Romeo is a nickname used by Percy Romeo Miller, Jr., who is also known as Rome, Lil's Romeo, Maserati Romeo, Prince P, Ro and Miller. Lil Romeo is an American actor, singer, rapper, model, entrepreneur and basketball player who was able to build up net worth valued at $5 million. He is known for his single "My Baby", which is extremely popular among the people who are interested in music of this genre. Miller is considered to be one of the most successful rappers, and a former basketball player, and it looks like Lil Romeo can definitely be called one of the most talented personalities in show business during the past several years.
Lil' Romeo Net Worth $5 Million
Romeo Miller was born on August 19, 1989, in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. He is a child of two famous rappers: Romeo's mother is Sonya C, a member of TRU band, while Romeo's father is the well-known Master P, known not only as a rapper, but also as a producer, philantrophist, investor and actor.
Lil' Romeo started to earn his net worth early. His musical career began in 2001, when an album titled "Lil' Romeo" was released. It hit number 6 on the US Billboard 200 chart and that is the reason why Lil Romeo's net worth increased so rapidly at a very early age. Of course, his parents also had a big influence on the popularity of their son's album; releasing such an amazing album at the young age was a great beginning for a young star. Unfortunately, the next album, called "Game Time", was not so successful. It hit only number 33 on the US Billboard 200, but despite that, this release also added a large amount of money to Romeo's overall net worth.
Talking about Lil Romeo's career in films, we should mention that he made his debut both in movies and TV show in the same year 2001. He had the ability to play Ty from "The Brothers Garcia" and also appeared as himself in "Max Keeble's Big Movie". After that he played many main roles in different movies, such as "Uncle P", "The Pig People", "Decisions", "Crush On U" and many others, but none of these movies were able to make Romeo even richer that he was then, as they did not gain very high popularity.
Despite his career on TV and career as a musician, Romeo was able to show his many other talents too at a very young age. He had an opportunity to appear not only as a great basketball player, but also tried himself in business. Nowadays it is known that Romeo is working on a new clothing brand, which may be called "ROME Everything", and if this is really true, then Romeo's net worth will definitely increase even more. So now you know how rich is Lil' Romeo thanks to all the hard work and his great talent. You know how big is the estimated net worth of Romeo.
