When providing healthcare to the masses, there are so many things to think about. You have to think about how you're going to store patient information, how you're going to pay your medical staff, how you can get the best medical staff on-board to provide care to patients, and many other aspects of running a healthcare business. On top of all of that, you've got to think about how you bill your patients – your customers. If you mess up the billing process, this could result in patients who are super frustrated that they were billed the wrong amount for the medical care that they received. And we all know how annoying it can be to deal with mistakes made on the part of a healthcare institution.
That's why you should take the time to learn how you can avoid common medical billing mistakes. There are pretty common mistakes that many staff members make when creating bills for patients. Keep reading down below and you're going to learn more about how you can avoid these mistakes and improve the experiences of your patients.
You might be surprised when you learn what the main reason for billing mistakes is. It's just from sloppy data entry and mistakes made on the part of medical staff! One of the main reasons why these mistakes happen is the fact that medical staff members don't take care whenever entering patient information and creating bills. If you want to stop making billing mistakes, then you've just got to be more careful when entering all of this data.
However, it can be tough to go through all of that paperwork day in and day out and still get the information correct. This can be seriously tough for the staff members of a medical institution. However, there is no way to make sure that staff members are enjoying doing paperwork. It's just got to happen in order to properly bill patients. If you are an employee of a medical institution and you need to do billing paperwork, then just know that this is a crucial part of the process. If you are an employer at a medical institution, then be sure to speak with your employees about the importance of correct billing.
Another big way that you can avoid billing mistakes is understanding the difference between a denied claim and a rejected claim. They may seem like the same thing, but they are very different and will have a big impact on billing. When a claim is denied, this means that the insurance company has determined that this bill is unpayable by the insured person. Claims are going to be denied when there are billing mistakes or information that has been omitted or is missing from the submission. A claim can also be denied based on the coverage of the patient.
On the other hand, a rejected claim is one that's been rejected solely on the base of submission errors. This happens whenever the medical staff member has incorrectly entered patient information and this needs to be corrected. This is a big reason why you should always ensure there is no billing mistakes being made. When an insurance company comes back with a claim that needs to be re-processed, then this is going to frustrate the patient and push back the timeline of getting the billing completed.
We all know that healthcare can be a frustrating process for both the patient and the medical professional or staff member. Many patients don't want to have their information checked every time that they come into the hospital or clinic, but this is crucial for a staff member to do. You should always verbally triple check the patient's information to ensure that everything is correct when you go into the billing process. If you don't, you could get into the situation where you don't have the patient information or the information is incorrect. When you triple-check with the patient about their information, you can always be assured that the information is correct.
One of the best things that a medical institution can do in order to get rid of common billing mistakes is to automate the process as much as possible with a medical billing software. When a hospital or a clinic starts to automate these processes, this is not only going to ensure that billing mistakes aren't made. This is going to improve the experience of the patients when there are less billing mistakes thanks to automation. In addition to that, this is going to make your medical staff much more efficient in getting their job done. They won't have to go through the information over and over again to process bills. It's going to be done right away with the help of an automation software. This is something that many medical institutions are moving towards in order to improve their business.
One of the most confusing parts of the billing process is the coding that comes along with medical bills. It can be pretty complex and complicated for medical staff members to understand. However, it's super important to get right if you want to ensure that billing is done correctly. If the coding is not done correctly, then the chances are high that you are not going to get the right payment from the patient. Even if you have an automation system, coding mistakes can be made. That's why every medical staff member should be aware of how to get this coding right and ensure everything is correct when billing.
There you have it! When you're wanting to avoid common billing mistakes, then these are the steps that you and your medical staff members need to implement. Billing mistakes are no good for your patient's experience at the hospital, so ensure everything is correct when you bill your patient.

Have you ever thought – why is this road winding so much? Anyone who has spent significant time in the Northeast part of America has experienced the angst of roads that wind this way and that, for no apparent reason. Arrrgggghhh! The efficiency expert inside of me goes nuts! I want to get there, I can see it from here, why do I have to go left and right and left again! That's a whole different kind of road rage – haha.
As I understand it, the Northeast part of America was settled before the US government was able to master plan a road system, therefore people squatted on the land and started building houses and farming areas. So then the roads just had to work around them. It would have taken a significant amount of vision and foresight for those early settlers to plan a road, and then plan to settle. They must have been too busy worrying about silly things like not starving.
The point is that it takes vision to foresee the possibilities of life where they do not exist yet. Isaiah spoke to this . . .
The voice is commanding a highway to be made in the wilderness. For a highway to be made correctly in the wilderness, the city (the life) that is coming there someday has to be envisioned. As you go on in Isaiah 40, you see that life is coming to the wilderness, that's why the highway has to be built first. In other words, wherever we envision life or growth coming personally or professionally, we need to plan and build the path to sustain it now. It takes vision.
Where in your life is God showing you that growth is coming? Where do you see your business growing? Your family growing? Your faith growing? Now begin to build the highway for it, through prayer, through strategic mentor relationships, through an infrastructure of relationships and skillsets that will make sustaining that life possible. It may look like a wilderness now, but God is preparing you for growth. See His vision and build the highway.

Sunan Gunungjati (1448–1568) was one of the Wali Songo, or nine saints of Islam revered in Indonesia. He founded the Sultanate of Banten, as well as the Sultanate of Cirebon on the north coast of Java.

Early life
Gunungjati was born Syarif Hidayatullah ( ) in 1448 CE, the child of a dynastic union between Syarif Abdullah Maulana Huda, an Egyptian of Hashemite descent, and Nyai Rara Santang, daughter of Prabu Siliwangi, King of Sunda (Pajajaran). As such, Syarif Hidayatullah could claim descent, on his paternal side, from the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and on his maternal side, a Hindu Devaraja of the Sunda Kingdom.

There is much historical uncertainty as to his early life and later career in the Indonesian Archipelago. Some say that he was born in Pasai, one of the earliest centres of Islam in Southeast Asia; whilst others say that he was born in Pajajaran, capital of his maternal grandfather's Kingdom of Sunda. He is reported to have married a sister of Trenggana, Sultan of Demak, and to have led military expeditions for Demak against Sunda. As Fatahillah defeated the Portuguese at their base in Sunda Kelapa, he renamed it Jayakarta in 1527.

To this day, his victory over the Portuguese is commemorated as the official anniversary of the founding of Jakarta. The many conflicting stories about Sunan Gunungjati led some scholars to conclude that he might be a conflation of more than one historical figure.

Education
Syarif Hidayatullah studied Islam under the guidance of venerated scholars in Egypt, some of whom probably included leading Sufis, during his fourteen years of peregrinations overseas. It is assumed that he must have also undertaken his pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina.

Leadership
Sunan Gunungjati was the only one of the Wali Songo to have assumed a sultan's coronet. He used his kingship -- imbued with the twin authority of his paternal Hashemite lineage and his maternal royal ancestry -- to propagate Islam all along the Pesisir, or northern coast of Java.

Proselytization

In dawah (Islamic proselytization), Gunungjati upheld the strict methodology propagated by Middle Eastern sheikhs, as well as developing basic infrastructure and building roads connecting isolated areas of the province. He and his prince Maulana Hasanuddin took part in several expeditions, particularly in Banten; the leader of Banten later voluntarily submitted the leadership of the region to Sunan Gunungjati but was eventually appointed as the new leader of the province which later became the kingdom of Banten.Around the age of 89, Sunan Gunungjati started to focus on dawah and began moves to appoint a successor. Pangeran (Prince) Pasarean later became the new king.

Death
In 1568, Sunan Gunungjati died in Cirebon and was buried in Gunung Sembung, Gunung Jati, around 5 km to the north of the town centre. His tomb has become one of Java's most important pilgrimage points. The tomb enclosure is embedded with porcelain plates, which are replaced with new pieces bought by well wishers. Today the pieces are largely of European or Japanese origin.

R-IDEAL: A Framework for Systematic Clinical Evaluation of Technical Innovations in Radiation Oncology.
The pace of innovation in radiation oncology is high and the window of opportunity for evaluation narrow. Financial incentives, industry pressure, and patients' demand for high-tech treatments have led to widespread implementation of innovations before, or even without, robust evidence of improved outcomes has been generated. The standard phase I-IV framework for drug evaluation is not the most efficient and desirable framework for assessment of technological innovations. In order to provide a standard assessment methodology for clinical evaluation of innovations in radiotherapy, we adapted the surgical IDEAL framework to fit the radiation oncology setting. Like surgery, clinical evaluation of innovations in radiation oncology is complicated by continuous technical development, team and operator dependence, and differences in quality control. Contrary to surgery, radiotherapy innovations may be used in various ways, e.g., at different tumor sites and with different aims, such as radiation volume reduction and dose escalation. Also, the effect of radiation treatment can be modeled, allowing better prediction of potential benefits and improved patient selection. Key distinctive features of R-IDEAL include the important role of predicate and modeling studies (Stage 0), randomization at an early stage in the development of the technology, and long-term follow-up for late toxicity. We implemented R-IDEAL for clinical evaluation of a recent innovation in radiation oncology, the MRI-guided linear accelerator (MR-Linac). MR-Linac combines a radiotherapy linear accelerator with a 1.5-T MRI, aiming for improved targeting, dose escalation, and margin reduction, and is expected to increase the use of hypofractionation, improve tumor control, leading to higher cure rates and less toxicity. An international consortium, with participants from seven large cancer institutes from Europe and North America, has adopted the R-IDEAL framework to work toward coordinated, evidence-based introduction of the MR-Linac. R-IDEAL holds the promise for timely, evidence-based introduction of radiotherapy innovations with proven superior effectiveness, while preventing unnecessary exposure of patients to potentially harmful interventions.

Our visitors often exclaim at the number of Cats. "Where do they come from???"
We come from all over Malta, we are the unwanted and unloved.
last, but by no means least, hospice.
rescued or abandoned we arrive for sheer survival. In our case the Sanctuary acts as emergency ward for very basic first aid. Milking, orphaned kittens require 24/7 care, which is NOT possible at the Sanctuary. Older stressed and traumatized kittens, separated from mother and siblings are highly susceptible to infections.
A crowded Sanctuary for adult street cats is NOT the place where we kittens should grow up.
Despite this we keep arriving. Can you think of solutions?
2. The Strays, - no longer able to live in the streets.
Three- legged, one-eyed, blind, starved, wounded, diseased or admitted after an accident. We were taken to vets and recovered in the "hospital". Several of us are funded by individual sponsors and finally remain for lifelong monitoring and care. Through constant handling we have become friendly. We can only dream of finding our special person to take us home. However, some dreams came true! And we continue to hope.
What happens to a Leukemia Cat?
While there are vaccinations and - admittedly very expensive - treatment, a street cat who tests positive for leukemia usually has no chance. In the sanctuary the leukemia villa enables us patients a sheltered and secluded life, far from the madding crowd. We do not know our diagnosis and will leave this world loved ad supported by veterinary care. We are grateful to all, who sponsor this true charity.
What happens to Cats in a field which is turned into flats? Or in a derelict building which is torn down? Or in a building site nearing completion? In a quiet lane which changes into a major road?
Fortunately Malta's thriving construction industry is still matched by an often overwhelmed, but still undaunted throng of Cat Carers. Tireless and courageously they are trying to protect a habitat for Malta's stray Cats. And when all fails they will turn to the sanctuaries. Many of our long term carers and volunteers have found us when literally desperate for their charges.
We are the poorest of the poor. Usually suffering, often old, terminally ill or requiring special long term care we come from establishments which cannot care for our individual condition. Csaf with the help of donations and connections often can offer these cats relief, shelter, love and care.

Numerous encouraging examples of successful transfers between responsible owners prove that this is possible. In such situations it helps to transfer our belongings (dishes, baskets, toys). Even more helpful are regular visits until all parties concerned feel that we are settled happily with our new owner.


The big attraction at the V-bar-V ranch is the petroglyphs. There is even a park person who knows the history of the drawings there to tell you about them (during certain times). But then again, how would I know if they weren't just making stuff up...? The red rocks here aren't as impressive as some of the other parks near Sedona, like Devil's Bridge or Red Rock Park.

Judge grants Amazon motion for pause in Microsoft's Pentagon contract work
Judge Patricia Campbell-Smith issued a preliminary injunction but did not release her written opinion. She also ordered Amazon to post $42 million in the event the injunction was issued wrongfully.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Thursday granted Amazon.com Inc's request to temporarily halt the U.S. Department of Defense and Microsoft Corp from moving forward on an up-to-$10 billion cloud computing deal that Amazon says reflected undue influence by President Donald Trump.
Amazon, which had been seen as a front-runner to win the contract, filed a lawsuit in November just weeks after the contract was awarded to Microsoft. Trump has publicly derided Amazon head Jeff Bezos and repeatedly criticized the company.
The Amazon lawsuit said the Defense Department's decision was full of "egregious errors," which were a result of "improper pressure from President Donald Trump, who launched repeated public and behind-the-scenes attacks" to steer the contract away from Amazon "to harm his perceived political enemy" Bezos.
Bezos also owns the Washington Post, whose coverage has been critical of Trump and which has frequently been a target of barbs by Trump about the news media.
The Pentagon, which had planned to start work on the contract on Friday, said it was disappointed in the ruling.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Carver, a Defense Department spokesman, said the Pentagon believed "the actions taken in this litigation have unnecessarily delayed implementing DoD's modernization strategy and deprived our warfighters of a set of capabilities they urgently need."
It added it remained "confident in our award of the JEDI Cloud contract to Microsoft."

Defense Secretary Mark Esper previously denied there was bias and said the Pentagon made its choice fairly and freely without external influence.
Alexander Major, a partner at McCarter & English, said: "The court has confirmed through the injunction that Amazon's challenges with respect to this procurement are not trivial. It's not guaranteed that they will prevail but the fact that they got it at all is a big deal."
Amazon shares closed down 0.4%, while Microsoft was down 0.5%.
TESTIMONY SOUGHT FROM TRUMP
As part of the lawsuit, Amazon asked the court in January to pause the execution of the contract, popularly known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud, or JEDI. The contract is intended to give the military better access to data and technology from remote locations.
Microsoft said in a statement: "We have confidence in the Department of Defense, and we believe the facts will show they ran a detailed, thorough and fair process."
Amazon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The White House declined comment.
Earlier this week, Amazon's cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services, said it was seeking to depose Trump and Esper in its lawsuit over whether the president was trying "to screw Amazon" over the contract.

Amazon also seeks to question other officials involved in the decision and alleged that Trump had a history of inappropriately intervening in governmental decisions. Amazon called the process "fatally flawed and highly unusual."
The procurement process has been delayed by legal complaints and conflict-of-interest allegations.
The judge told Amazon and the Pentagon to confer by Feb. 27 on what portions of the opinion can be released publicly.

On the occasion of Mido 2015, in Milan from 28th February through 2nd March, Glassing present their new retail experience, the Glassing Yacht Store.
Glassing have recently signed an agreement with Giorgi Marine, a shipyard that has been building sports boats and yachts for almost 60 years, and a symbol of quality and luxury, made entirely in Italy. Together, they have conceived and created the third Glassing flagship store (after Portofino and Milan): a yacht of Giorgi's fleet completely customized and designed to be a real floating shop, the first optical boat shop in the world.
The interior and graphic design of the yacht are a perfect reflection of Glassing style: a mix of luxury, fashion, research and "madness".
This collaboration with Giorgi is strengthened with the A.D.F. Antoine De Francois Collection, four-handed designed with Giorgi's patron, who suggested the technical guidelines to follow for the creation of glasses cut-out for his ship owners. Glassing then converted these guidelines into a fashionable, yet functional product.
It is the first time a yacht has entered a trade show to be used as a stand and through this initiative the brand, groundbreaking as ever, is a candidate to win the award for best optical store in the world, announced by Mido.
After being revealed to industry insiders at Mido, Glassing Yacht Store will officially open to the public this summer, reaching the harbors of the most exclusive holiday destinations of the Mediterranean sea and giving customers the opportunity to buy the newest sunglasses and optical collections, even while barefoot and dressed only in a swimsuit.
Glassing were born in 2010 from an idea of Alessandro Forte and Stefano Ottone, two young Italian entrepreneurs, that once back in Italy decided to start together a new adventure.
The brand is focused on research of innovative materials, often combined in unusual ways, believes in young designers and their courage, and takes advantage of Italian expertise in handmade manufacture.
The brand is currently distributed in more than 1300 selected optical stores in the world and in luxury fashion boutiques such as Excelsior and LaRinascente in Milano, Galeries LaFayette in Beijing, Twist in Hong Kong, Harrods in London, and Mr M in Beirut.
Glassing have two flagship stores in Italy: one in Milan and another one in Portofino.
Glassing is a way of being, it is passion and believing in what you do, it is not losing the irony of one who does not take himself too seriously. In a a few words: Madness is an Art.

Advanced and feature-rich glass material combined with volumetrics.
Volumetric Glass is an advanced and efficient master material designed for rendering volumetrics and glass. Package is useful for creating sci-fi stylized environment like water tanks, aquariums and underwater tunnels even glass in submarines. Package is perfectly balanced between quality and efficiency. Designed and optimized specially for Mobile, Virtual Reality, and stylized PC/Console games.
Over 70 parameters to setup: light shafts, volumetric, scattering, glass color, fog density, wet color, reflections ect.
Easy for integrate with other water surfaces like Aquatic Surface.
Glass Volume (Mterials/M_GlassVolume) – Supports rendering of glasses from the inside of the fluid volume. Represents underwater windows, tunnels, glasses and world rendered from the inside of water. Material is called M_GlassVolume.
Glass Shape (Mterials/M_GlassShape) – Supports rendering shapes from the outside of the fluid volume. Useful for water tanks sci-fi stylization, volumetric fog used as environment effect.
Both materials should be instanced before using on the meshes. To create material instance from the base material click right button on the chosen material and select "Create Material Instance" option.
Glass Shape material can be used on different geometric objects like box, cylinder ellipse.
Setup the Reflection Texture cubemap in the material. It should be the texture cached from the scene using the Scene Capture Actor. If you don't know how to prepare cubemap read Capture Reflections chapter.
It is not possible to use Box/Sphere shaped meshes on the characters props or customization elements because it is not geometric compatible. There is additional UseShapedMesh mode in the M_GlassShape material that implements approximated shape for the undefined shapes.
Use Fog Exp2 Use exponential fog or linear if false.
Fog Base Base depth of the fog effect.
Fog Density Density of the fog effect.
Fog Color Color of the deep fog.
Use Wet Color Enable wet color functionality.
Wet Color The color multiplier applied on geometry inside the shape.
Use Translucency Whether the translucent effect should be active.
Clip plane surface is the effect of clipping the geometry by plane filled by animated fluid surface.
Surface Normal Map Texture Texture used as normal-map.
UV scale and translation in animation of normal maps on two layers.
Surface Normal Scale Surface normal z value multiplier before normalization. Allow to change height ow wave.
Surface Normal Flatness Surface normal flatness. Allow to change height ow wave.
All of this methods can be used separately or combined at the same time. Only single light source can affects the glass and in can be point light or directional light.
Reads the directional lighting values from global settings Materials/UtilsPC_VolumetricGlass PointLightChannel0-2.
Point light channels can be controlled by the BP_ScatteringLight blueprint placed on the level witch selected channel to set.
Use Channel = false Reads the directional lighting values from local variable Light Direction in the material.
Reads the directional lighting values from local variable Light Position in the material.
Diffuse Power Diffuse lighting color.
Light Color Color of light inside the volume.
Whether to use directional or point light.
Light Direction If Use Directional Light = true then uses this value as light direction. Length of vector changes fading.
Light Location If Use Directional Light = false then this is default location of the light relative to actor. Alpha channel contains Attenuation.
Use Light Color Edge Use the light color as edge of the shape. Shape will be lightened in depth. The scale of depth can be changed in alpha channel of Light Color parameter.
Use Channel 0/1/2 Select which channel will be used as global point light.
Use Lighting Whether the lighting and scattering effect should be active.
First you have to place BP_GlassVolume blueprint on the scene. BP_GlassVolume represents the shape of the fog volume that will be used for volumetric glass.
Volume is visible only throw the glasses that uses specialized material called M_GlassVolume.
Create material instance from M_GlassVolume and setup the parameters.
Fog Scattering Clamp Maximum scattering power.
Fog Scattering Scale Scale config of the scattering color effect.
Fog Scattering Shift Shift config of the scattering color effect.
Fog Scattering Width Width config of the scattering color effect.
Glass material supports simplified optimized light shaft effect settings and configuration listed below.
LightShaftColor Light shaft color in scattering.
LightShaftDistance Distance of light shaft effect from camera.
LightShaftIntensity Intensity of light shaft effect.
LightShaftPosition Camera position scale when moving light shaft.
LightShaftSpeed Light shaft animation speed.
LightShaftTexture Texture used as light shaft.
BP_TunelSplineActor is an additional blueprint useful for creating underwater tunnels. To start using this actor just place the BP_TunelSplineActor on the scene and setup parameters.
Forward Axis Forward axis of the mesh.
Translucency Sort Priority Priority of mesh rendering. Can fix some translucency bugs.
Hold Alt+Drag the point of spline to create duplicate of spline point.
Volumetric Glass system readers reflections based on the cubemaps cached from scene. It is really efficient method but requires some additional effort to cache the reflection.
Place Blueprints/BP_SceneCaptureCube on your map and set up proper position to capture scene (center f the room would be great).
Open Material/Textures and find the render target (RT_SceneCapture).
Click right on the RT_SceneCapture and select "create static texture" newly created texture is ready to use in the volumetric glass system.
Example reflection texture from sci-fi laboratory used on all shapes inside the room.
Reflection effect is based on prerendered cubemap. Volumetric glass supports two types of reflection mapping. Spherical reflections and box projection mapping.
Spherical mapping – Very fast but inaccurate. Works out of the box.
Box projection mapping – Very accurate in box shaped rooms. Requires additional room size informations in the materials.
UseBoxProjection Allows using box projection mapping. If disabled then system uses standard spherical cube-map projection.
ReflectionBoxExtend half size of the room cached in the reflection map.
ReflectionBoxPosition Position camera where the reflection was cached.
UseReflectionBoxLocal Forces system to use reflection box capture in local space of actor position. Useful when mesh is connected to the same actor as reflection capture component.
ReflectionColor Color of reflection allow to adjust the cubemap to underwater conditions. Alpha channel represents the power of fresnel.
ReflectionTexture Prebaked cubemap reflection texture should be cached in place where the glass is rendered.
Use Shlick Reflection Enables physical based Shlicks fresnel calculations. Otherwise uses fast simplified dot(camera, normal) fresnel.
UseReflectionBoxLocal When true then ReflectionBoxPosition will be added to the actor position.
Volumetric glass materials supports advanced glass surface configuration that allows to customize appearance to specific requirements. Glass surface is rendered before the volume and can cover the objects behind the glass.
Glass Color Color of glass mesh (with translucency).
UseGlassTexture Allow to use glass texture instead of flat color.
UseGlassTextureColor Glass texture color multiplier.
UseGlassTexturVertexAlpha Uses vertex color alpha channel as multiplier for glass texture. Broken glass example.

When second class equals victory
Danny Westneat devoted a column earlier this week to gloating over Washington state's Referendum 71 vote, and all of its significance:
Gays can't win at the ballot box.
That has always been the harsh reality. Put the subject of equality for gays and lesbians to a vote of the people — practically any people, in states from deep red to dark blue — and the people have always said: "No. Not here. Not yet."
Until — it appears — now. Right here.
There's a week's worth of ballot-counting remaining in an election everyone is saying is too-close-to-call. But it appears Washington state will be the first in America to approve a gay-equality measure not by court fiat or legislative action, but by the direct will of the people.
It's never happened before. If the slim lead holds for the gay-partnership law Referendum 71, it would be a landmark. Huge.
Not because the law that was on the ballot Tuesday is the last word in this debate.
But because the vote signals, finally, a tipping point of sorts — a bellwether of public acceptance — that has eluded gays and lesbians forever.
Yes, a town here or a county there has voted on the pro-gay side over the years. Usually to bar overt acts of discrimination against gays (which Seattle voters did way back in 1978).
But no state has ever approved a pro-gay vote. The opposite, in fact — dozens of states have voted overwhelmingly to outlaw gay marriage, domestic partnerships or even the ability to adopt kids. Those votes actively consigned gays and lesbians to second-class-citizen status.
In 1997, even supposedly liberal, libertarian Washington rejected a gay anti-discrimination law by a landslide, 60 percent to 40 percent. That vote set back the drive for gay equality here by nearly a decade.
And on Tuesday, voters in Maine repealed a gay-marriage law that had been passed by that state's Legislature.
The vote here on Tuesday was far from a landslide. But in it you could see the slow wheel of societal change turning ….
All of that, and more, in this vote, in which supporters have claimed as theirs, and currently stands at 52-48% in favor, leaving opponents to pray against. Westneat's column is obviously not written for homosexuals, but rather that potentially-sizeable bloc of readers for whom this vote was a significant milestone in their own personal evolution. This is a feelgood moment, of a sort. After all, voters have apparently approved a law that would have already been law had some people not chosen to challenge it at the ballot box. Good to know the people are on board, but the writing was prominently scrawled on the proverbial wall. We've already been through a gay marriage fight and people know it's coming eventually. This was an easy wrangling of the conscience; this was an easy vote.
Let us pause to consider again:
And so does this, Mr. Westneat. So does this.
When victory means second class? Putting it gently as such, it means tomorrow there is still work to do.
Okay, so it's not as if Westneat is completely oblivious. He does frame a reasonable historical perspective:
When it comes to gay acceptance, that shift [of the political center] has now happened. That's the big story of Election 2009. And it's going to keep inching like that, a mostly one-way tide. Toward equality.
Everything but marriage ....
The measure is, after all, referred to colloquially as "Everything But Marriage", and that reputation will serve the general purpose well, reminding of people's determination to be exclusive: Fine, you can have all the bells and whistles and trappings of marriage, but you can't call it marriage. Only we get to call our marriage 'marriage'.
The thing is that society can make homosexuals jump through every conceivable hoop, and when people finally run out of excuses, there will still be those who oppose the obvious and inevitable. It doesn't matter to these people if they lose. They just want everybody else to be miserable along the way.
I mean, how else do you spend so much of your time concentrating on something you so loathe thinking about?

Sexy Party
Threesome sex
Voyeuristic
Posted By: Jackie Dickson
I say to him "I thought you liked orange juice with the bits in it" and he says "No I like orange juice without the bits in it" and as it's only been 45 minutes since he told me he bumped into Kate last night and she looked "pretty sexy…like some kind of, you know, hostess", I take his glass of orange juice (with the bits in it) and I throw it across the room so it hits the corner of his wooden bed frame and smashes across the floor. I'm glad the little pieces of glass fly in all kinds of directions so I can only hope that he tramples on a chunk. I leave his stupid shared house, full of arrogant pigs, and I storm home to think about what I can do next.
I sit on my bed to gather my furious thoughts and then I hear an annoying, high pitched, buzzing sound coming from my dvd player. I consider throwing it out the window but it's too heavy and I don't want to make a mess. I pull the plug out and in a state of exaggerated rage I carry it to a charity shop. The sweaty and slightly overweight guy in the charity shop says "Thanks for your donation" and I go home, change my bed sheets and feel much better for 3 minutes. Then I think about smashing up everything in my kitchen but again, I don't want to make a mess.
I think about running away but I can't find the right shoes. I take my phone and I scream to him, at the top of my text message voice, "I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!" and he doesn't even flinch. I decide I'm not going outside for at least a week and I don't have the right shoes anyway. I look at my wonderful television and my television says to me "Stay here with me and I'll make you feel better". I say to my television "But I love him" and my television says to me "I know. But you can love me now and you don't even have to brush your hair".
I'm seated at a table next to a loud, cocky music journalist who says he's just finished working with Kayne West and I laugh but he says he's serious and I laugh again. He says he likes my purse and then I let him buy me a couple of drinks. He keeps looking at me and talking to me as if he wants to sleep with me and the more he tells me about how much he doesn't get on with his family, the more I think I may as well. Then, I don't know why, perhaps it's because we're at a wedding, but I spend a few (quite painful) minutes telling him the story of when I was 8 years old and I brought my favourite Barbie into school for Show and Tell. I say, "So I told the class that I'd dressed her in yellow… because I was happy my dad was coming home for the weekend and then afterwards the boys teased me for bringing a doll to school! Anyway I was so confused so I said to this one boy, his name was Thomas, I said 'Thomas! Why don't you love me?' which I know is a bit crazy but I was only a kid but you know what he did? That little bastard started crying… uncontrollably and he was shouting that I was weird and I couldn't believe it so I put my lunchbox down, I remember it was a Nellie the Elephant one, and I pushed him over in the middle of that playground and you know what I said? I said to him 'NEVER hold my hand OR GEMMA'S HAND ever again' Gemma was nice and everything but I remember I was fed up of her getting all the boys all the time". The music journalist looks at me like I'm mad and then there's the bride's speech, the groom's speech, the best man's speech and the father of the bride's speech and everyone claps. And then the music journalist looks at me like he doesn't want to sleep with me anymore and I'm glad because I think he's awful really and I don't want to sleep with someone who's awful because in the end I don't want to marry someone I think is awful.
Yet when I'm home I write a letter to my Pill and I say to my Pill "Make me beautiful!" and my Pill writes back (taking the key points) "I can't make you beautiful. I can only try to stop those boys from impregnating you". I think it's typical of my Pill to say this. It expects me to take it at the same time every day but in return it can't 100% promise anything and I find this very frustrating. If I can't trust my Pill then who can I trust?
I've been here before and the doctor says to me "Is there a chance you're pregnant?" I say "Well yes, there's always a chance isn't there?" and the doctor says "Sorry? Do you think you may be pregnant?" I say "No. I haven't had sex in a long time" and the doctor's computer asks me if I'm okay and if I want a hug and I tell the computer that I'm okay. The doctor looks at me as if I'm supposed to tell him about my whole life in eleven minutes.

BRAND & NEW EPISODES
SMEs: Navigating Intellectual Property Issues—A Discussion Between an Entrepreneur and His IP Counsel
Brand & New
Internet Explorer users, please open this podcast episode in Spotify here: SMEs: Navigating Intellectual Property Issues—A Discussion Between an Entrepreneur and His IP Counsel
Alexandre Koiransky Founder, FAIR Paris, France
Annick Pairault Partner, Ab Initio Paris, France
It's well-known that intellectual property (IP) has become the lifeblood of most markets and companies over the last decades, with the generalization of the knowledge economy, the all- encompassing digital transformation, and the increased dependence of businesses on intangible assets. With that, IP has taken a critical place in the way businesses make decisions to develop a new product, to launch a new brand, to hire employees with niche skills, to invest in repository infrastructure, etc.
While international groups and large companies often have resources handy to address IP issues, whether in staff, time, or cash, it is much less the case for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are often late in factoring in these considerations. However, spin-offs, small startups, and other SMEs increasingly depend on large firms or companies as suppliers or customers, for venture finance, for knowledge and product development, and for opening new markets. This makes it even more critical for SMEs to know how IP works, so that they can better protect and defend their rights throughout their development and to make sure they don't base part of their development on IP assets they are not fully free to use.
Our two guests share their respective experiences on SMEs navigating IP issues in an ever-innovating world, both from the business owner side and from the IP counsel side.
Our first guest is Alexandre Koiransky, the founder of FAIR, Paris, France, which is a leading 12-year-old fair-trade liquor brand built on a mission to support small farmers in developing economies. Prior to this, he co-founded another startup, which he successfully sold. A true entrepreneur at heart, he is also a partner with WeLike StartUp, a startup incubator and a platform of resources for innovative companies.
Our second guest is Annick Pairault, an attorney specializing in IP and partner with Ab Initio, a law firm based in Paris. She advises clients across a broad spectrum of sectors and focuses on trademark law, distinctive signs, brands, copyrights, domain domains, and unfair competition. She is FAIR's IP counsel.
