KHA Launches Sexual Assault Response Resources Web Page
By Ginger - Site Admin on Friday, September 23, 2016 8:01 AM
KHA has partnered with the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs and the Office of Inspector General to encourage hospitals to become more knowledgeable about caring for victims of sexual assault and to work toward becoming a designated SANE-Ready Hospital. State law requires all Kentucky hospitals to:
Treat victims of sexual assault who present to their emergency room regardless of the certifications and experience of staff in the emergency department; Perform a medical forensic exam on the individual if consent is given; and Contact the local Rape Crisis Center. The Kentucky General Assembly established the "SANE-Ready Hospital" program through legislation in the 2016 General Assembly. Hospitals demonstrating they have Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners available to treat patients presenting to the emergency room can apply for this designation. KHA encourages all Kentucky hospitals with emergency departments to work towards achieving this designation. For more information on becoming a SANE-Ready Hospital, review...
Congressmen Barr, Massie and Rogers Sign Letter Supporting Hospitals
By Ginger - Site Admin on Thursday, September 22, 2016 9:12 AM
After a request from KHA and its members, three U.S. Congressmen from Kentucky (Andy Barr, Thomas Massie and Hal Rogers) have signed onto the Tiberi-Kind "Dear Colleague" letter pertaining to CMS policies on alternative payment models (APMs). KHA is grateful for their support.
The Chairman Pat Tiberi and Congressman Kind Dear Colleague letter urges the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide health care providers more regulatory relief and flexibility under APMs like bundling, the "CJR" program for joint replacement, accountable care organizations and other models intended to move health care delivery away from site-specific, fee-for-service reimbursement. CMS has the authority to waive numerous rules and statutory provisions in these alternative care delivery and reimbursement models, yet with few exceptions it has not done so.
More waivers around site-specific acute and post-acute regulations are needed that were originally implemented for a purely fee-for-service reimbursement...
CDC Legionella Resources
By Ginger - Site Admin on Friday, September 16, 2016 10:12 AM
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently held a press conference and early release of the latest MMWR report on Legionnaire's disease. In this report, the CDC noted most outbreaks of Legionellosis occurred in hotels/motels, long-term care facilities and hospitals. More importantly, the CDC noted that most outbreaks of Legionellosis were preventable. Their investigations show almost all outbreaks were caused by problems that are preventable with effective water management.
In response to the CDC's report, the Kentucky Department for Public Health has distributed a public health notice containing CDC resources to assist building owners and managers in the implementation of a building water management program following the latest industry standards. Implementation of such a program can prevent Legionella growth in building water systems and thus prevent outbreaks of Legionellosis....
KHA Comments on Medicaid DSH Proposed Rule
On September 14, KHA submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on the proposed Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) rule addressing the treatment of third-party payers in calculating uncompensated care costs.
KHA and Kentucky's hospitals disagree with the position of CMS to require counting payments from Medicare and other private insurers to calculate uncompensated care costs for retention of DSH payments. The proposed rule would redefine a hospital's cost of care and is not authorized by statute.
The law states clearly that the only costs counted are Medicaid payments and payments made by uninsured patients, not payments made by other programs or insurers.
This proposal would harm many safety net hospitals, and would have devastating consequences for Kentucky's rural hospitals.

All KHA members are invited to attend the KHA Legislative Committee meeting on September 14, from 10:00 a.m. (ET) through a working lunch, at KHA Headquarters in Louisville.
The meeting will begin with guest speaker Medicaid Commissioner Steve Miller updating attendees on the 1115 Medicaid Waiver. You will have an opportunity to ask him any questions that you may have about the waiver.
Members will discuss state issues and take positions on legislation to recommend for inclusion on the KHA Legislative Platform.
Representative Joni Jenkins (D-44), the House Appropriations and Revenue Human Resources Subcommittee chair, will be the luncheon speaker to discuss the state budget and Medicaid funding. Since there may be legislation to change the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program payment this session, this is a great opportunity to educate Representative Jenkins on the need for keeping the Medicaid DSH payments at the highest level allowed by federal law.

Joint Commission Update Seminar
On October 20, KHA will host a seminar to get hospitals up to date on the latest changes in Joint Commission accreditation. The event will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Northeast.
Many changes are occurring in the Joint Commission Accreditation process through January 2017, and the changes will have a great deal of impact on accredited organizations. With the implementation of the Project Refresh SAFER Matrix for scoring and the changes related to management of the Plan for Improvement associated with the Statement of Conditions, there will be some interesting challenges for all health care organizations. The Joint Commission Update 2017 seminar will provide information needed to understand and manage these accreditation process changes. Topics to be discussed include the Project Refresh and the SAFER Scoring Matrix, The Plan for Improvement portion of the Statement of Conditions post survey, frequently cited and challenging standards and High Reliability.

SANE-Ready Hospital Webinar
By Ginger - Site Admin on Wednesday, September 07, 2016 9:14 AM
On September 15, KHA, along with the Kentucky Office of Inspector General and the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs, will host a webinar on the SANE-Ready Hospital: What it Means and How to Achieve It.
The Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) Act passed in the 2016 General Assembly. This is a comprehensive measure which seeks to address a number of barriers to providing both health care services and justice for victims of sexual assault. Key to hospitals, the SAFE Act seeks to improve the quality of care sexual assault victims receive by the establishment of the SANE-ready designation for acute care hospitals. SANE stands for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. In order to qualify for the designations, hospitals must certify they have a SANE nurse on call 24/7.
For program details, view the brochure....
KHA Submits Comments on OPPS Site-Neutral Provisions
On September 6, KHA submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on the calendar year (CY) 2017 hospital outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) proposed rule that would implement site-neutral provisions of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BiBA).
Kentucky's hospitals are opposed to CMS' site-neutral proposal because the rule would not only apply to new off-campus outpatient facilities but also to existing hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) that expand services or relocate to benefit their communities by lowering payment.
For a full copy of KHA's comments, members may visit the Policy page of the Advocacy section of www.kyha.com.

AHA Newsflash: Infection measure data issue prompts additional FY 2017 HAC review and corrections period and other updates
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has announced an error in calculating Clostridium difficile infection performance during the first two quarters of 2014. This error affects hospital performance in the fiscal year 2017 Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction Program, baseline performance in the FY 2018 hospital value-based purchasing program, and measure data reported on Hospital Compare in 2015. As a result, CMS is conducting a second review and corrections period for the FY 2017 HAC program from today through Sept. 30 to allow hospitals to review their updated C Difficile performance. CMS also has updated the baseline period performance standard for the FY 2018 VBP program, and intends to update the archived databases of Hospital Compare to reflect corrected performance data. For more information, see CMS's QualityNet website.

Townhouse once owned by President Martin Van Buren hits the market for the first time in 53 years
By Emily Nonko, Fri, April 7, 2017
You could now own a piece of New York presidential history for $4.9 million. The Federalist-style townhouse at 150 East 38th Street, in Murray Hill, was once called home by President Martin Van Buren. This is, without a doubt, one of the most unique properties in New York–besides the presidential ownership, ironwork frames the entryway, a squat structure connected to the four-story townhouse. It was built in 1857, altered in 1935, and then restored in the early 2000s. The interior will bring you back in time, with fireplaces, wood paneling and coffered ceilings.

The Urban Lens: Inside the Christmas wonderland that is Rolf's German Restaurant
By James and Karla Murray, Fri, December 2, 2016
6sqft's ongoing series The Urban Lens invites photographers to share work exploring a theme or a place within New York City. In this installment, award-winning photographers James and Karla Murray return with a look inside Rolf's German Restaurant, known for its over-the-top Christmas decorations. Are you a photographer who'd like to see your work featured on The Urban Lens? Get in touch with us at [email protected].
Beginning the last week of September, a six-man team starts the process of adorning Rolf's German Restaurant with 15,000 Christmas ornaments, 10,000 lights, and thousands of icicles. By the first of November, the process of turning this historic Murray Hill restaurant into a holiday wonderland is complete, attracting both locals and tourists who are eager to see the one-of-a-kind display of Victorian-style decorations.
We recently paid a visit to Rolf's, capturing everything from dolls found in New England antique shops to 19th century German ball ornaments worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And we've shared an interview with owner Bob Maisano where he talks about the building's past life as a speakeasy during Prohibition, German history in NYC, and what makes Rolf's a unique holiday destination.

A historic stable house with completely modern interior asks $8.35M in Murray Hill
By Emily Nonko, Mon, October 31, 2016
The interior of 149 East 38th Street in Murray Hill looks insanely modern–but just wait until you see the exterior. This home was carved out of the Bowdoin Stables, an imposing carriage house built in 1902 for the real estate developer and clothing executive William R. H. Martin. According to Daytonian in Manhattan, the structure sold to financier George S. Bowdoin in 1907 (hence the stable's name), and Bowdoin's horses lived on the first floor while his coachmen lived upstairs. The building has served as everything from a home to art gallery to cultural center since then; now it's on the market as an impressive residence asking $8.35 million.

Daphne Oz of 'The Chew' looks to double her profits on Murray Hill co-op

Daphne Oz, co-host of "The Chew" and daughter of Dr. Oz, and her husband John Jovanovic dropped $1.6 million on a Murray Hill co-op back in January 2015. At the time, the three-bedroom unit at 140 East 40th Street was described as "Soho meets MoMA," but new listing photos point to a renovation that left the home with a much more traditional and classy look. As LLNYC first reported, the couple is trying to unload the pad for $2.5 million, which seems fair considering the upgrades, especially (but not surprisingly!) those in the kitchen.

I am mostly concerned with the forms that underlie the constructions of our world, particularly as the earth itself becomes modified, shifted, and engineered for human purposes. I looked for the invisible subject matter in plain sight: high tension power pylons; engineering projects, like dams; monotonous lines of people queuing for something, anything. Presenting these banal operations in my paintings makes a notation of some of the significant components of our time. Revealing the mechanization of the world and societies we inhabit shows the terrifying aspects of contemporary culture, the detritus and the forgotten machinery of a consumptive society that we all share. We have become fully integrated into a hyper-techno-landscape.
Painting has been a primary source of representation and not much has changed in its production in thirty odd millennia. Oil painting itself, however, does represent a medium with close ties to power, to hierarchies, and of course to perspective. In this way it seems to me an ideal medium to represent the topics that I am addressing. Oil painting became a symbol of power because of human attitudes, ideas, and desires, not because of anything inherent in the medium itself. We reject whole systems because we attach the fallacies of humanity to them, rather than reconsidering what we did wrong in our engagement with them.
As we endeavor farther into the virtual landscape, there is something incredibly humbling about making paintings. Perhaps, it is one of the places where the computation is done in the mind of the maker not through an algorithm. It's not noisy the way contemporary works can be, but if I do my job then a painting can produce a lot of questions, a lot of ideas that linger, that begin to connect to the digital age as well and all its power systems. My hope is that someone can return to the painting and keep thinking.


These days it seems as if college professors simply can�t do anything right. Journalists are always carping on their sins; students are busy ranting about their shortcomings.
And academic freedom? Forget it: Modern college professors can�t even criticize the victims of 9/11 as �little Eichmanns� and pray for another attack against America without getting in some kind of trouble. It�s patently unfair.
As far as we, the crack young staff of �The Hatemonger�s Quarterly,� are concerned, a gig as a tenured radical must surely be one of the most horrific jobs in the history of occupations. We�d collectively prefer to slave away in a peanut factory.
We aim to hone in on some of the hardships associated with being a university professor. This way, faculty members all across these here United States of America can treat �The Hatemonger�s Quarterly� as a kind of journalistic oasis. Sure, they may get criticized at The Wall Street Journal. And, sure, The New Criterion may never let up on them. But here at �The Hatemonger�s Quarterly,� we aim to please unfairly maligned professors, and soothe their souls (if they have them).
In today�s humble edition of �The Hatemonger�s Quarterly,� we tackle one of the most unfortunate features of university life: Students. As far as we�re concerned, if it weren�t for students, academia would be fairly tolerable.
More specifically, we are devoting the inaugural edition of our �Inequities of Academe� series to a particular aspect of student-professor relationships. No, dear reader, not sleeping with students. That�s one of the few fringe benefits of life as an academic. (The other one is use of a free Xerox machine, which hardly seems as enticing.) In today�s humble post, we discuss the topic of the ineluctably horrendous student e-mails.
If I get a chance, dude, I will probably sea [sic] you in clas [sic]. Do I still have to take the final? Also, itd [sic] be really cool if you forgot about my midterm.

Joanna Hogg Revisits Her Past Selves
By Hillary Weston
It may have taken nearly two decades after graduating from England's National Film and Television School for Joanna Hogg to emerge as a feature filmmaker, but it was worth the wait. After making her thesis film, Caprice (starring a then-unknown Tilda Swinton), in 1986, the writer-director spent many years honing her craft by directing music videos and television. It was not until 2007's Unrelated, an intimate portrait of a fortysomething woman who finds herself distracted while on holiday with her friend's family, that Hogg's spirit as a filmmaker was fully reawakened.
Hogg followed up that debut with her remarkably assured second and third features, Archipelago (2010) and Exhibition (2013), which expanded on her thematic obsessions: family dynamics, artistic vocation, strained romantic relationships, emotional attachments to place. She brings these subjects to life with an immediacy fostered by the naturalistic performances of her actors, who work not with a traditional script but with a document of photographs and snatches of dialogue that offers a psychological roadmap of the story.
Although all of Hogg's films have drawn from her own biography, her latest, The Souvenir, is by far her most personal excavation yet, reopening the wounds of her past as a young film student trying to balance her creative ambition and the emotional demands of an all-consuming romance. I saw the film back in February at the Berlinale and haven't stopped thinking about it since. So when Hogg stopped by New York last week, I couldn't wait to ask her about how the young woman she was has informed the artist she's become. During her visit to Criterion, we talked about where her love of movies began, the traveling film collective she cofounded in 2011 with filmmaker Adam Roberts, and how making The Souvenir has brought her back to her cinematic roots.
When you were first starting to fall in love with movies, what were some of your early cinema-going experiences like?
One experience I remember that was slightly strange was seeing The Bubble, an American 3D sci-fi film made in 1966. This was at the local cinema, the Essoldo in Tunbridge Wells. I wasn't even seven years old, and I don't think my mother really knew what we were going to see, but I remember it was the first time I'd seen anything in 3D—and it gave me a headache! But obviously that headache translated into something else, because I have such a vivid memory of sitting in the cinema and being captivated by it. Something I actually discovered only recently is that in the early thirties the Essoldo was called the Ritz, and it was where David Bowie's parents met, because his mother was a waitress in the restaurant in the theater.
Other early cinema-going experiences included seeing films like Invitation to the Dance and Singin' in the Rain, and around age ten or eleven I had a crush on Gene Kelly, rather than on some pop idol. I absolutely adored him and loved the way he danced. I was just completely in love, and it was because of him that I started tap dancing lessons. When I first began developing ideas for my own work in film school, I was influenced by those early experiences watching dance on-screen, as well as something about the Technicolor in those movies that I loved.
How did your taste evolve from there?
In the period just before film school my taste was eclectic, and I was watching so many different kinds of films. Ulrike Ottinger's Ticket of No Return inspired me, as well as a lot of films of the late seventies.
All That Jazz is the one I absolutely adored more than anything at that time. I don't think I completely understood it then, but there was something about the combination of the musical form and the personal, autobiographical aspect of it. And beyond the musical sequences, it just has an incredible rhythm that goes backward and forward—you can feel it in your body when you're watching it. I'm completely obsessed with Bob Fosse and I've been looking again at his work as a dancer. I can't enthuse enough about it.
Were you an avid filmgoer at that time?
Completely. The film scene in London was amazing. You could see multiple films one after the other and spend the whole day in the cinema from morning until the next morning. I would see something like 1900 at an all-night screening at the Gate in Notting Hill. There were so many independent rep cinemas, like the Paris Pullman Cinema. And there was an art-house multiplex on Oxford Street called the Academy—it's hard to believe now that there was a multiplex for Rohmer and Godard, but it was so beautiful. It had an Italian restaurant in it, and if you were really cheeky, you could get into the cinema through the restaurant.
Joanna Hogg on the set of Caprice, with Tilda Swinton
Your films are so saturated in memory. They emerge from experiences in your own life, and you craft them to give a sense of what the act of remembering feels like.
Initially when I started thinking about making The Souvenir, I wondered if my memory was good enough to conjure up scenes for the film. But I've found that the more I've looked back at that time, the more I've remembered. Conjuring the apartment that I lived in during those years was enough to bring back all sorts of memories.
Did you find that listening to certain music from that time also had this effect for you?
Music is especially powerful in that way, and it was very important for me to use certain pieces of music in the film because I didn't want to be a slave to that period of time. I didn't want to fetishize the early eighties, but I did want to create an impression of something that rang true for me. There was Joe Jackson, Robert Wyatt, the Specials . . . so all the tracks that I used in part one [of The Souvenir] were pieces of music that meant something to me at the time. It was my own personal madeleine of that moment.
What's so beautiful and devastating about The Souvenir is the way it captures how a person's ambitions and passions can unconsciously slip away when falling in love with someone who takes up more space in the world. You depict that with such delicacy, especially in the moments that aren't meant to be the most narratively dramatic.
Just hearing you say that, I'm reminded of that tension of wanting to be in one place but worrying so much about another. It's excruciating.
I like to tread quite lightly over my past, and I don't like to judge my characters. I like them to just be. It wasn't an easy thing to revisit that period in my life, and I went through a lot of quite dark times as I developed it. It's not that the story continues to upset me, but the most challenging thing was going back to the person I was, or who I thought I was—it was fifty-something Joanna meeting her former twenty-year-old self. I didn't realize how difficult that was going to be. The revelation for me was that I'm still that person. I might appear to know more of what I'm doing now, but so much of that is still what I am. I find that my twenty-year-old self still has something to offer me now. The films she was interested in watching and inspired by then are returning for me through this story.
Do you watch films while you're working on your own, or are you looking elsewhere for inspiration?
I choose quite carefully what I watch when I'm making a film, and even when I'm talking to collaborators who want to see references, I'm quite sparing with those. I've always had this problem. I remember at film school being asked to explain what I was doing and why I was doing it and what my graduation film would be like, and I'd just say you'll have to wait and see because I can't show you any film that this is going to be like.
You've said that you began your film collective, A Nos Amours, as a way to re-create the communal experience of watching movies you loved. Can you tell me a bit more about the work you and Adam have done?
Adam and I haven't been doing anything because I've been preoccupied with The Souvenir, and he's got things going on, but we're longing to do another big project in the way we did with our two-year Chantal Akerman retrospective. But that's not something one can just repeat with another filmmaker. It fit her work so well, and I found that process of rediscovering her work in that slow way, over that period time, to be incredibly nourishing. It actually made me think a lot about rhythm because she had an incredible sense of movement in her work. Golden Eighties was another film I watched in the early eighties that makes me think of all those musicals I mentioned before, movies from the seventies that were referencing Hollywood musicals from the thirties and forties but were doing their own thing.
The Chantal retrospective was a pleasure to do, and it was in the gap between Exhibition and The Souvenir, so I felt I was able to give myself to that endeavor. It was so nice to be talking about other people's work and not my own. We've become known for the Akerman retrospective, but before that we were showing lots of films, and the title is obviously taken from Pialat's wonderful film. That was the first film we screened, in a secondhand bookshop that had closed down, so we started off in a very small way and gradually got better venues. It was quite eclectic in the early days and that was exciting.
Nothing compares to the big-screen experience, but it's interesting to think about how much easier it has become for people to discover movies they might not have otherwise encountered. With your first three films now streaming on the Criterion Channel and your latest about to be in theaters, I'm wondering if you think about how people will consume your work?
I think about how our habits of watching films are changing, and I don't think it's something you can fight. I still hope there's a place for seeing films on the big screen; that's certainly how I like enjoying them. But I don't like to be too nostalgic about it either; I think it's better for people to watch films on their iPhone than not at all. Younger generations are growing up and experiencing films in a very different way. Sometimes it can be a very private experience when you watch a film on a laptop with headphones, but I've always thought about my own films needing a big canvas because I use a lot of wide shots and I like that your eyes can travel across a big screen. I think there's something about just being able to look around.

The policy directives and general guidelines for the COVID-19 Vaccination Program are contained in Republic Act No. 11525, also known as the "COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021." R.A. 11525 was signed by the President on 26 February 2021. All vaccines procured by any entity must be registered with the Philippine Food and Drug administration (FDA), as evidenced by a valid Certificate of Product Registration or Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). COVID-19 vaccines imported shall be exempt from import duties, taxes and other fees. Here are the salient points of RA 11525.
Agencies authorized to negotiate and procure the vaccines.
The Department of Health (DOH) and the National Task Force Against COVID-19 (NTF) are authorized to procure COVID-19 vaccines, including any supplies services necessary for storage, transport, deployment, and administration.
The DOH and the NTF may act jointly with any national government agency or local government unit (LGU).
Bidding requirement for the purchase of vaccines.
There is no requirement for a bidding. The DOH and NTF may purchase COVID-19 vaccines through negotiated purchase. They may negotiate the price and payment terms, making sure that there is price uniformity and to prevent price competition.
Procurement by LGUs.
The DOH and NTF may negotiate on behalf of LGUs. After negotiations by the DOH and NTF, LGUs may enter into supply agreements, purchase orders or any similar arrangements. The LGUs may make advance payments for the vaccines. These provisions retroact to 1 January 2021.
Procurement cap for LGUs.
Any LGU may procure not more than 75% of their target population for vaccination. The 75% cap may be adjusted by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF-EEID), upon determination by the DOH that there is sufficient vaccine supply.
LGUs may directly accept direct donations of FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines.
Order of priority.
Vaccines funded by the national government:
persons with comorbidities
frontline personnel in essential services, including uniformed personnel and teachers
indigent population
Vaccines funded by LGUs:
frontline workers in health facilities
indigent persons
The LGUs are allowed to formulate their own recipient list and implement their own operational procedures in accordance with national policies and procedures.
Procurement by private entities.
Private entities may procure COVID-19 vaccines, but with the cooperation with the DOH and NTF through a multiparty agreement. The vaccine shall be for the exclusive use of such private companies or entities. The order of priority shall be:
the entity's healthcare workers
economic frontliners
essential worers
List of persons vaccinated.
The LGUs are required to submit to DOH a masterlist of the names and profiles of the residents who were vaccinated, subject to the provisions of the Data Privacy Act.
COVID-19 Vaccine Card.
The DOH shall issue a vaccine card to ALL persons vaccinated, subject to the provisions of the Data Privacy Act. The DOH may delegate the processing and issuance of vaccine cards to LGUs and private entities. The falsification of vaccine cards is a criminal offense.
The issuance of a vaccine card is intended to be digital, but shall remain accessible through other means such as printed cards. The DOH shall maintain a central database of vaccinations and mandate a uniform format for the vaccine card.
The vaccine card shall not be considered an additional mandatory requirement for educational, employment and other similar government transactions purposes.
Immunity from liability.
Public officials and employees, contractors, manufacturers, volunteers, and representatives of duly authorized private entities who are authorized to carry out the COVID-19 Vaccination Program are immune from suit and liability under Philippine laws, except in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
Vaccine indemnity.
Compensation shall be provided in case of death, permanent disability or hospital confinement of persons inoculated through the COVID-19 Vaccination Program, administered through the Philhealth.

Using A4 posters as part of your printed marketing mix is a great way to save money and make the most of your campaign. They're a convenient size that will fit most places and are relatively cheap compared to other, larger poster sizes.
Plus, A4 posters can be printed in a variety of colour combinations and finishes, and on plenty of different materials. When designing an A4 poster, you have the scope to really get creative in communicating your message effectively.
In this article, TPS looks at the top design tips for A4 posters, so you can get the most out of your order.
Don't underestimate the power of white space!
Remember - white space doesn't have to necessarily be white. In art, it is known as negative space, and simply refers to the absence of complex features like text and imagery. It can be any colour.
White space is used across all areas of design to draw attention towards the most important parts of your message and to minimise strain on the eyes. This makes for easy reading; effectively communicating your message to whoever is viewing your A4 poster.
Utilising white space when designing A4 posters is especially important because A4 posters offer limited space. To make them look bigger, you need to make an executive decision regarding the amount of content the design is going to feature.
We live in an increasingly visual age, where information is best communicated and understood using visual aids and tools. Visual imagery sparks interest where plain text does not.
When designing your A4 posters, make sure to use imagery - whether this is in the form of photography, illustration, graphics, or clever typography.
Don't overdo it, though! As seen in the point on white space above, A4 posters don't give you much room to work with. Make sure to capitalise on what you have by being selective about your communication tools. One photo is enough if paired with some great font and a striking CTA.
This leads us to our next point - when designing an A4 poster, carefully consider the text you use.
A4 posters; although the same size as an A4 page you filled with words during your essays at school; don't need to be jam-packed with alphabetical information. In fact, it's advised that you avoid filling your A4 posters with words if at all possible.
Use text for the things you quite literally have to spell out - think phone numbers, addresses, and sales copy. Make sure the text on your A4 poster is attractive and attention-grabbing. If the text doesn't serve a purpose, don't use it.
Designing for an A4 poster usually goes one of two ways - either you go overboard with the colours, or you're determined to stick to something that looks a little bit like that "black, white, and red all over" joke.
Striking a balance somewhere in the middle is your best bet for A4 poster design success. It's important to decide your colour palette first - if you have brand colours, stick to these.
Remember your white space rule, and ensure any imagery you're using fits into the colour scheme. You can use photo editing software to make sure your imagery matches your colour palette, but equally don't go overboard - colours should look genuine but there's no excuse for green-skinned models just because they match your brand colours.
Once your design is finalised, send your artwork over to TPS. Our digital A4 posters can be printed on either silk or gloss stock, which adds definition and lift to images.
Order your A4 poster from TPS today, and enjoy free next working day delivery (on uploads processed before 12pm on a weekday). Artwork guidelines can be found here.

UPDATED: Trump is Weaponizing the Census
By Planned Parenthood Action Fund | Aug. 5, 2018, 12:36 a.m.
Adding a citizenship question to the 2020 Census would harm immigrant communities for decades to come.
Update, January 15, 2019: A federal judge struck down the administration's plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census. According to the judge, "hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of people will go uncounted in the census if the citizenship question is included."
The ruling is a victory for our democracy and a rebuke of the administration's anti-immigrant agenda. The case is likely to head to the Supreme Court.
By Adam Flores, policy intern at Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Master of Public Policy student at the University of Chicago
As part of the Trump-Pence administration's dream to "make America great again," the U.S. Department of Commerce announced plans to add a question on citizenship status to the 2020 census, which hasn't been done since 1950.
This might seem harmless. But it's not — not to families like mine or all those that include members who are native- and foreign-born, citizen and non-citizen, as well as mixed-status families.
Blog author Adam Flores with his grandparents.
Adding a citizenship question to the census would break a 60-year standard. And it's part of an ongoing pattern of harmful and discriminatory policies against people of color being pushed by this administration.
Join me in saying NO to discriminatory census changes!
The Census Question Is An Extension Of The Administration's Anti-immigrant Policies
The administration says the census needs the citizenship question to help enforce the Voting Rights Act, but its poor record on voting rights suggests otherwise. Shortly after taking office, U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, and other administration officials began working to undermine the power and well-being of marginalized communities across the country, including immigrant populations. This is simply the latest in a long line of attacks.
Why Undercounting Immigrant Communities Would Cause Great Harm
The goal of the census is to collect an accurate count of residents. But that's impossible if the president and his administration use it as a tool to scare immigrant and mixed-status families from responding. An undercount of immigrant communities would
Skew representation in Congress and state legislatures. Census data determines congressional and legislative districts — including how many U.S. House members each state has — as well as redisricting plans. An undercount would mean less representation and power for already marginalized groups
Divert federal funding from immigrant communities — including for vital health care programs.* Census data helps determine how federal tax dollars are spent for government programs. That includes Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in addition to Title X, the nation's only program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care, and Medicaid, which one in five women of reproductive age rely on. And these are no small chunks of change: In Fiscal Year 2015, U.S. Census Bureau data determined how to disperse over $600 billion in federal funds, including over $300 billion in Medicaid.
*Though many undocumented people can't benefit from these government programs, their inclusion based on census data affects access for citizens with different levels of citizenship status as well as folks in mixed status homes who may be able to benefit.
Census data are used for a decade. Inaccurate counts would mean that communities already underserved by vital government programs will be further underserved for decades to come.
We can't allow the administration to continually promote policies that deny our communities support for essential health care.
In this current political climate, immigrant families are already living with daily discrimination, threats of family separation and detention, and fear of harsh immigration enforcement.
It is no surprise that members of immigrant and other marginalized communities will not be eager to reveal their citizenship status to government workers knocking on their doors.
— Bridgette GomezDirector of Latino Leadership and Engagement, Planned Parenthood
Source: The Hill
Given that census data was used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, it's understandable that many may be unwilling to provide their information to the federal government for fear of being targeted by this administration. The Trump-Pence administration is determined to deprive communities of color and immigrant communities of the representation, rights, and services they need.
We know how this President and his administration regard and treat immigrants, especially those who look like my Mexican immigrant grandparents. We must stand up and object this harmful attack on our families, friends, and neighbors by telling the administration to drop the citizenship question.
Tell The Administration: Stop This Racist And Undemocratic Policy!
The administration's deadline to speak out is fast-approaching. Add your name to share your opposition to Trump's attempt to weaponize the 2020 census against immigrant communities.

Nova Zembla (with selected pieces from Rijksmuseum's collection) (2006), installation view.
Added on April 8, 2006 by Angela Serino.
Artists: Michael Blum (A), Mariana Castillo Deball (NL/D), Johan Cornelissen (NL), Stephan Dillemuth (D), Omer Fast (D), Aurélien Froment (FR), Dmitry Gutov (RUS), Sven Johne (D), David Maljkovic (HR), Ohad Meromi (USA), Tilmann Meyer-Faje (NL), Missingbooks (NL), Khalil Rabah (IL) and Fernando Sánchez Castillo (E).
"Mercury in Retrograde" is an exhibition of twisted timelines, hallucinated futures, and historical chain reactions. It is an experiment from which to launch expeditions into vanished histories – a momentary repository for new thoughts gleaned from sedimentary deposits in time. Mercury in Retrograde cracks open the notion of authorized collective histories, with examples that explode and decipher the codes of our constructed reality.
In a spirit of exchange with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a prized selection of 16th century objects excavated from the ice of Nova Zembla is presented at De Appel. The myth of the collective wintering of Dutch explorers in the severe Polar environment has been subject of study to generations of writers, archaeologists, adventurers, and explorers. Select navigational tools are accompanied by Sven Johne's double images that tell the stories of people whose various endeavors ran aground on the tiny Baltic island of Vinta.
Many of the new commissions and presented works at "Mercury in Retrograde" remain haunted by past narratives, connected only by collisions, with unexpected outcomes, coincidences, aliases, ghosts, and disappearances. An untapped history of the building of De Appel is unearthed in an installation by Michael Blum, re-staging the established bank Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co., bequeathing a potent, and valuable story back into the Dutch contemporary discourse. Mariana Castillo Deball traces colonial history, and inserts the story of the relocation of the giant stone of the God Tlaloc in an audio piece, as the listener weaves through the antique shops of Amsterdam. Omer Fast implodes viewer's definition of time with his re-sampled interviews with living-history museum interpreters, while Missingbooks revive the story of the disappearance of radical Argentine intellectual Rodolfo Walsh, and the subsequent eradication of his subversive short story. Aurélien Froment's trompe-l'œil constructions set the stage for a guided tour through a mysterious landscape, while Ohad Meromi proposes the Moon a new set for fiction. David Maljkovic revisits cultural heritage by alighting from the future, and excavating a monument.
Exposing production of myth and reality and challenging the re-writable nature of history through time, the exhibition ranges from Fernando Sánchez Castillo's operatic saga of an allegorical and "standardized" coup d'état to Khalil Rabah's investigative re-appropriation of the tulip that traces the origin of the flower to Palestine, and from Dmitry Gutov's poetic criticism of Western art history with the activities of the Lifshitz-Institute to the incongruous mix of authority and popular imagination in Tilmann Meyer-Faje's publication on the occasion of the 400th birth anniversary of Rembrandt.

Chlo� Grace Moretz, [?] Mary Mouser, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Lyndsy Fonseca, Jodelle Ferland, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Roberts, Kaya Scodelario, Emily Browning and [?] Shailene Woodley were considered to play Katniss.
Elizabeth Banks plays a pivotal character in the story, who has become an iconic image in pop culture, yet this character's name (Effie Trinket) is never spoken in the movie.
Dayo Okeniyi read the book trilogy in the three days before his audition for Thresh.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, [?] Alex Pettyfer, Josh Hutcherson, Lucas Till, Nico Tortorella, Alexander Ludwig, Evan Peters and [?] Hunter Parrish were considered to play Peeta Mellark. Hutcherson was eventually cast, although Ludwig was later cast in the role of Cato.
Isabelle Fuhrman originally auditioned for Katniss. After deciding that she was too young for Katniss and too old for Prim, the producers invited her to audition for Clove.
Wes Bentley's character never appears in the books, but he is not totally made up for the films either. He is first mentioned not in the first book, but in the second, in which the President (Donald Sutherland) explains to Katniss that he had Crane killed for failing to get the single winner traditionally required by the games.
Donald Sutherland saw the script by accident and, when he read it, lobbied for the role of President Snow because the script reminded him of Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory. He succeeded in getting the role after he wrote a letter of plea to Gary Ross explaining why he should be cast.
The fictional nation in the film is called Panem. This is derived from "Panem et Circenses," or "Bread and Circuses," which comes from the latter days of the Roman Empire, in which the government would keep the masses satisfied not by performing their public services well, but by providing violent and deadly entertainments for the people to watch, which is rather fitting for the subject matter of the film.
Panem is located in a post-apocalyptic North America whose land mass has been reduced by rising sea levels. It is generally agreed that the Capitol is in the Rocky Mountains, possibly Colorado, and that the District 12 town where Katniss grew up is somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, possibly Kentucky or West Virginia.
Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence, both natural blondes, dyed their hair brown for their roles in the film while Josh Hutcherson, naturally dark-haired, dyed his hair blond for his part.
Woody Harrelson is a vegetarian in real life. In scenes where Haymitch is seen eating, he eats either dessert or vegetables, or just drinks.
Because of how the pedestals were arranged and spaced apart in the field, there are only 20 of them at the cornucopia instead of 24.
Lenny Kravitz was cast for the role of Cinna without audition after director Gary Ross was impressed by his brief performance in Precious. Because most of Cinna's scenes are with Katniss, Kravitz learned as much as he could about Jennifer Lawrence through his daughter Zo� Kravitz, who appeared with Lawrence in X-Men: First Class.
Jennifer Lawrence was paid what was, for her, the high fee of $500,000. It took her three days before she accepted the role because she was unsure how the role would clearly affect her career, since her background was largely on the indie film circuit. For The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, she was paid $10 million, 20 times more than the initial offer.
Jack Quaid's character Marvel is never called by name in the first book. Katniss merley refers to him as the boy from district 1. Later in the second book she learns his name during the victory tour.
The first film not released by a big six studio (Fox, Disney, Paramount, WB, Columbia or Universal) to gross over $400 million in the United States.
While horsing around on the set, Jennifer Lawrence accidentally kicked Josh Hutcherson in the head, knocking him out and resulting in a concussion.
Since Jennifer Lawrence is friends with Lenny Kravitz's daughter, Zo� Kravitz, she couldn't get herself to use his first name. Instead, she called him 'Mr Kravitz' from the first day on. Kravitz quickly found out that the rest of the cast and crew also started to call him 'Mr Kravitz'.

Ducks in constant state of shifting
SportsNHLAnaheim Ducks
By Dan Wood | Orange County Register
April 19, 2008 at 3:00 a.m.
DALLAS — Exactly how the Ducks will line up in Sunday's must-win Game 6 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center is anyone's guess.
The Ducks, having been down since the 11:25 mark of the first period in the April 10 series opener, when Steve Ott's power-play goal sparked Dallas to a sweep of the first two games at Honda Center, have juggled personnel, line combinations and defense pairings in an effort to get on even footing.
A victory Sunday, on the heels of Friday's 5-2 triumph in Anaheim, would accomplish exactly that and force a decisive Game 7 on Tuesday at Honda Center.
"We needed to change something," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said Saturday upon the team's arrival at a downtown hotel. "The lack of success forces you to try and have a different look. It's all about winning. You have to do whatever you can do to give yourself the best possible chance."
Unlike last season, when the Ducks won 16 of 21 playoff games and fell behind in a series only once en route to capturing the Stanley Cup, they haven't had the luxury of standing largely pat against the Stars.
The Ducks, not accounting for in-game alterations, have used 17 line combinations in the series, with none staying together for more than two games. Carlyle also has taken the unusual step of putting ace defensemen Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer together at times, rather than pairing them with Sean O'Donnell and Francois Beauchemin, respectively.
"We're trying to match the opposition to a degree," Carlyle said. "They've had some of their players step up. Specifically (Brad) Richards, (Joel) Lundqvist and (Loui) Eriksson have become more of an offensive force. Their contributions, statistics and ice time have gone up a lot."
The Ducks knew before the series that top-line Dallas forwards Mike Ribeiro, Brenden Morrow and Jere Lehtinen were dangerous, and they have not disappointed, combining for seven goals and 18 points. Richards, Lundqvist and Eriksson have provided a nice complement, with a combined four goals and 11 points, while the line of Ott, Mike Modano and Stu Barnes has chipped in four goals and eight points.
The latest Ducks' effort to counteract the Stars' balance resulted in standout checking-line center Samuel Pahlsson skating on a more offensive-oriented unit Friday, between wingers Chris Kunitz and Teemu Selanne, with rookie Ryan Carter moving into Pahlsson's former spot alongside wingers Todd Marchant and Travis Moen.
"When things don't go your way, you make changes," Pronger said. "We all understand that. We all obviously have one common goal, and that's to win. You have to do whatever it takes. If that means changing lines or defense pairings, the goalie, whatever, players understand and players have to live with it.
"Obviously, our backs are against the wall again. We have to do whatever it takes to win that next game, in order to get to the next one. We can't look any further ahead than winning Game 6."
Injuries have also factored into the equation. The Ducks lost checking-line right wing Rob Niedermayer to an apparent concussion in Game 2, and leading regular-season goal-scorer Corey Perry returned from a partially severed right-quadriceps tendon in Game 4.
The Ducks made at least one lineup change in each previous game, but went with the same 18 skaters the past two games. They would appear likely to stick with the same personnel, though not necessarily the same line combinations and defense pairings, but that could change depending on Rob Niedermayer's status.
After having missed the previous trip to Dallas, Rob Niedermayer made Saturday's flight and planned to participate in an evening off-ice workout with his teammates. It would appear unlikely that he would be able to play Sunday night, but the Ducks haven't ruled it out.
"He's felt much, much better," Carlyle said. "He's here, so there's always a possibility."

An extraordinary temple town, it prospered for more than 10 centuries, surrounded as it was by dense forests, alive with wild animals said to predate the Khajuraho temple, these are again a series of exquisitely carved temples chiseled by great craftmen who remained anonymous in the best Indian tradition. Hindu, Buddhist and jain cults are represented here, testifying to a great age of tolerance. A colossal statue of the 23rd Jain Tirthankara, Parashvanathan, an image of the elephant headed Ganesha with a woman seated on his knee, and a reclining Vishnu, are truly outstanding. A rare image of Vishnu in his "Varaha"(boar) incarnation is a theme repeated at Bhangarh and Talbraksha clearly indicative of the size of this Gujar-Partihar kingdom which reached its zenith, during 750-950 A.D.

He didn't begin to fulfill his dream until he was 65 years old!
And what drove him to finally take action? He was broke and alone. He got his first Social Security check for $105, and he got mad. But instead of blaming society or just writing Congress a nasty note, he started asking himself, "What could I do that would be valuable for other people? What could I give back?" He started thinking about what he had that was valuable to others.
His first answer was, "Well, I have this chicken recipe everyone seems to love! What if I sold my chicken recipe to restaurants? Could I make money doing that?" Then he immediately thought, "That's ridiculous. Selling my recipe won't even pay the rent."
And he got a new idea: "What if I not only sold them my recipe but also showed them how to cook the chicken properly? What if the chicken was so good that it increased their business? If more people came to see them and they made more chicken sales, maybe they would give me a percentage of those additional sales."
Many people laughed in his face. In fact, he was rejected 1009 times. People told him, "Look, old man, get out of here. What are you wearing that stupid white suit for?"
But did Colonel Sanders give up?
Absolutely not. And he turned his Kentucky Fried Chicken into one of the most successful business stories in economic history.
The Talmud (Sotah 13a) tells us that because Moshe told the children of Levi "Rav Lachem" -- it is enough he too, was punished by Hashem with the statement of "Rav Lach" that he was not going to be able to enter the land of Israel and the border was going to be as far as he would merit to go. But why was Moshe punished Middah K'negged Middah – Moshe only wanted to enter the land in order to do the Mitzvos and bidding of Hashem. He had no personal stake in the process. Why is his desire compared to that of the group of Korach?
The author of the Yirah VoDaas explains that Moshe's problem here was not in the issue of why he chastised the Bnei Levi but rather what he said. "Rav Lach – it is enough for you" means that one should be satisfied with his spiritual attainment. This, says the Yirah V'Daas, is where Moshe erred. One can never tell another Jew that he or she has attained "enough" spiritually. We need to encourage each other to strive more and more in our spiritual desires --- albeit always within the proper framework of Halacha and Torah mandated styles of spiritual attainment.
Even if it takes 1009 attempts, success in spiritual endeavors rests on the desire to grow and that desire is nurtured by encouragement and guidance.
How can we encourage spiritual growth in the
people around us?
What can we do to inspire growth within ourselves?

Displaced population in Darfur now about the same as the 2010 population of Chicago, Illinois; UNOCHA: Over 96,000 people driven from their homes in Jebel Marra
March 4, 2016 March 14, 2016 Run NerLeave a comment
Jebel Marra is the name of a collection of volcanic mountains reaching up to 9,980 feet in the middle of the Darfur region (1), specifically between Zalengei in Central Darfur, Kutum in North Darfur and Kass in South Darfur (2); it has caves and many valleys and is the stronghold of the rebel group known as the Sudan Liberation Army-Abdel Wahid.
On January 15, fighting between the government and its allied militias and the SLA-AW rebels greatly increased, and as of now (March 3) still rages on (3). 92,378 of the 96,000 people mentioned above were in North Darfur State camps and towns (2,285 in Kebkabiya, 62,192 in Sortony, 27,453 in Tawila, 448 in Shangil Tobaya) as of February 28 (4). Despite aid agencies not being allowed into the Jebel Marra portion of Central Darfur, aid groups have been able to count 3,350 displaced people there; the true number of displaced in this state is expected to be much higher (ibid.). South Darfur State has 1,000 displaced people in the Kass area (ibid.).
UNOCHA has stated that the total number of displaced people in Darfur as of December 2015 was 2.6 million (4). Add the 96,000 displaced from Jebel Marra since then, and you have about the same number of people as lived in Chicago, Illinois in 2010 (which the 2010 census listed as having 2,695,598 people) (5). And this is not taking into account people elsewhere in the five Darfur states who have been driven from their homes this year by violence.
