Jenny and a student taking measurements on the seafloor.
Trying to figure out what to do when she grew up wasn't easy for Dr. Jennifer Rahn, because she had so many different interests. In high school in New Jersey, Jenny was more interested in running with her cross-country and track and field teams than she was in classwork. She also had a natural talent as an artist, which was nurtured by her parents, who are both graphic artists. Then there was a love of the beach. At first it was just to work on a suntan and swim. It didn't occur to her that she might make a career out of studying the coastal environment until much later. She also liked to travel, and it was a vacation with a friend to the island of Saba in the Caribbean that introduced her to scuba diving and the coral reefs of the Caribbean Sea.
For a kid who didn't have much interest in classwork, Jenny finds it ironic that she ended up becoming a college professor. But, when you think about it, teaching in a college setting means that she doesn't sit at a desk all day, and the academic calendar has breaks in between semesters, allowing her to pursue her other interests.
Deciding to be a college professor is one thing, becoming one is another. It was a long road to get her PhD and then a job as a professor: there were three degrees to earn (bachelor's, master's, and PhD), internships and fellowships, plus lots and lots of field work. Since Jenny began studying cartography in college, the field of geography transitioned from drawing and drafting to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which entails using computer programs to make complex maps that are linked to databases covering lots of different subjects.
Today, Jenny is a professor at Samford University in Alabama. Even though she lives five hours from the ocean, she is heavily involved in ocean research and finds opportunities to expose her students to the marine environment and coastal processes. During the school year, Jenny spends most of her work days in the classroom teaching. She takes her students on weekend field trips to the state marine lab and to the beach, where she trains them to use survey equipment to measure beaches and dunes. During winter and summer breaks, Jenny returns to Saba with groups of students to introduce them to scuba diving and participate in ongoing projects that map and monitor the beaches and coral reefs. The academic year works well for her, allowing her to spend time in the classroom and lab researching topics in coastal processes, while giving her opportunities to spend time in the field, giving her the best of both worlds.

Small plastics and floating objects often look like food to aquatic animals and sea birds. When they eat plastic, it often gets stuck in their digestive system, making them feel full and unable to eat proper food.

How to Drink a Margarita
By Sarah Kester
MarianVejcik/iStock/GettyImages
It doesn't need to be Cinco de Mayo or Taco Tuesday to enjoy a tasty margarita. It's always five o'clock somewhere, right? But there are a few do's and don'ts when it comes down to how to drink a margarita – preferably on a beach in Mexico, but that can slide – that will elevate this classic cocktail to heights like never before. So much so, that you might not touch another cocktail ever again. And no, this margarita etiquette doesn't mean drinking your cocktail with a pinky up. Instead, it covers the basics, starting with using the right type of glass – margarita glasses are almost as iconic as the drink itself, whether or not to use sugar and salt rims, the best foods to pair with margaritas and so much more. You'll be schooled on the ins and outs of margaritas in no time.
3 Different Kinds of Margaritas
Frozen margarita: Summer just isn't summer without a frozen cocktail of some kind, and a margarita is perfect for this. It adds an elevated refreshing take on an already refreshing drink. Making it is super easy, too.
Just mix together a regular margarita, pour it over a glass full of crushed ice or add ice to a blender with the margarita and blend until it gets to that perfect frozen cocktail texture. Serve with a tiny umbrella, and it's truly a siesta.
Margarita on the rocks: This essentially means over ice cubes. Although most classic margarita recipes already call for ice to be added to the cocktail shaker along with all the other ingredients, you will also be adding ice to the glass for a margarita on the rocks. When the margarita is ready, simply pour over the ice.
Virgin margarita: A virgin cocktail is perfect for those who aren't 21 just yet or for those nights when you simply decide that the next-day hangover just isn't worth it. To make virgin margaritas, it comes down to simply avoiding the use of any alcohol and adding ingredients like fresh orange juice, lemon-lime soda and club soda.
Even without alcohol, virgin cocktails are still meant to be fun, so you can play around with different fruit juice and soda pairings. To make it more flavorful, add garnishes such as orange and strawberry slices.
Use the Right Type of Alcohol in Margaritas
When it comes to margaritas, it's completely up to you what kind of alcohol you want to use. If you use tequila, you are creating the classic margarita, which comes with: tequila, triple sec (or some other kind of orange liqueur) and fresh lime juice.
If you choose to go the tequila route, the type of tequila you use does matter; it's undoubtedly the most important part of the cocktail, one that can change the overall taste and quality. Because of this, you'll want to avoid gold tequila and stick with silver since the flavors mesh better. And while there are tequilas that cost upwards of two grand, if you prefer to stay on the modest range of tequilas that still taste great but don't cost too much, José Cuervo is a popular choice.
In the end, this cocktail classic should hit all the right flavor notes since lime and orange liqueur balance very well with the strong taste of tequila.
How to Substitute Different Alcohols for Tequila
There are also twists on the classic margarita recipe, which come down to using different types of alcohol as substitutes for tequila. For example, you could use vodka, instead of tequila, or peach schnapps in order to create a peach margarita. Either way, the amount of alcohol that a margarita should have is 2 ounces of tequila or other alcohol and 1 ounce of orange liqueur. When dilution is involved, this ends up to be 1.2 ounces of alcohol in total. Just be sure that you are using the same amount of alcohol as if you were using tequila.
Why a Sugar or Salted Rim?
It might be time to say goodbye to the college days of taking a tequila shot with salt and lemon and consider a more sophisticated approach of drinking your margaritas with a sugar or salt rim. The reasons to rim a margarita glass with sugar or salt are presentation, as well as the fact that using salt actually cuts bitterness and helps offset the sweet and sour flavor going on in the glass. This ensures that you can better enjoy your drink.
What Kind of Salt to Rim Margarita Glasses?
There are a several different kinds of salt out there – everything from sea salt to table salt to Himalayan salt, among others – but the best kind of salt to use to rim a margarita glass is kosher salt. This is because kosher salt meets the proper criteria for both taste and presentation. For example, table salt was found to be too clumpy for rimming, and the salty taste was overpowering. Kosher salt has a nicer look to it since it doesn't really clump, and the salty taste is more subtle.
How to Rim a Margarita Glass With Salt or Sugar
To create a bar-worthy cocktail right at home, the secret is in the presentation and using a sugar or salt rim for this. Start by filling a plate with either sugar or salt – you could also use rainbow sprinkles or sugared orange zest. Using a wedge of lime, run it across the rim of the glass to moisten it so that the salt or sugar sticks to the glass better. Next, evenly dip your glass onto the plate. That's it! All that's left to do is pour in your margarita and get sipping.
3 Different Kinds of Margarita Glasses
Another huge part of cocktail presentation is the very glass you use to serve the cocktail in. While margaritas can be served in a variety of different glassware, if you're keeping things as traditional as possible, these three are a great addition to your bar cart:
Welled margarita glass: This glass is the most commonly used and well-known glass for margaritas. It has a wide bowl and a rim that is perfect for rimming salt or sugar. It is accompanied by a long stem that is sure to draw attention. Frozen margaritas work great in this glass as well, since it has a thick body.
Saucer margarita glass: This is another popular margarita stemware. It's smaller than the welled margarita glass since it's missing the well, but it does feature a saucer shape that provides enough room for the drink and any garnishes.
Martini glass: While it might sound strange to serve margaritas in a martini glass that's made for, well, martinis, it does work well for twisted variations on the classic version, such as the peach margarita.
Can a Margarita Get You Drunk?
It takes around three margaritas to get drunk, according to Zoe Weaver, a bartender at Midway on High, as she explained to Babe.Net: Basically if someone has less than three drinks they aren't here to get drunk. They're going home because they have stuff to do the next day. But when it comes to margs, there's often a higher liquor ratio, and they can become dangerous if you're drinking without eating.
So how drunk you get depends on several factors, such as how diluted the drink is, how much time between each drink, how much you've eaten and whether you're consuming glasses of water between cocktails.
Delicious Foods to Pair With Margaritas
Margaritas can be enjoyed alone or with food. When eaten with food, though, there are certain food pairings that complement the sweet and sour taste and citrus flavors. Just keep in mind that you don't need too much salt in these foods because you will get salt from the rim of your glass.
Appetizers:
This goes beyond chips and guac, although that combo with margaritas does sound like heaven. Nachos are a good choice for an appetizer since they come with lots of different levels of flavoring, starting with the choice of blue, white or yellow corn chips and then the veggies, beans and other toppings. Tomatoes on nachos add freshness to a dish that complements the refreshing aspect of margaritas. You could also add some heat with jalepeño peppers or spicy salsa, since sipping on a sweet and sour margarita helps counteract this heat.
Entrees:
Next up is the main course. If you're opting for something light, like a salad, this is a great choice since you could add some mango-infused chicken or shrimp to the salad for extra protein. This is also a great way to bring out the citrus notes in your margarita. The acidity in the citrus also goes well with fattier foods, so it's no wonder why tacos pair so well with margs.
Lemon-lime flavoring is a good choice for dressings, since you don't want any flavors that will take away from the flavors of the drink. But if you'd like to pair margaritas with food that have a bit more substance than salads, fajitas are a great idea. You could marinate the main protein in citrus juice, like lime or lemon. Shredded lettuce and other veggies are a great accompaniment to this, as is guac or sour cream on the side.
Desserts:
When it comes to desserts, there are many options to choose from, each more delicious than the next. For starters, pair margs with spicy chocolate, a Mexican restaurant fave; any kind of cheese cake – again, acidity in citrus goes great with fattier foods, such as cheese; or a tart dessert of some kind, since the acidity also helps cut any bitterness.
Also, who could skip out on margarita-infused desserts? Sounds like a match made in heaven. A siesta, indeed.

Special Edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch production affected by coronavirus, pre-orders delayed in Japan
2 years ago Justin 11 Comments
In a new statement posted on Nintendo's Japanese website today, the company is apologizing for potential delays of both the regular Nintendo Switch and the special edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch.
Due to the coronavirus infection spreading in China, Nintendo expects that production delays may occur for the Nintendo Switch and some related accessories like Joy-Cons. This is because the vast majority of Nintendo hardware is produced in Chinese factories that are currently experiencing possible shutdowns from the coronavirus.
Going one step further, Nintendo has gone as far as to indefinitely delay the previously announced openings of pre-orders in Japan for the special edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch and related carrying case. A new pre-order start date will be announced soon.
Given that pre-orders already began a week ago for the special edition system in North America and Europe, we're unsure of what this could mean outside of Japan and no official announcement has been made for other regions yet.
However, most Nintendo Switch systems are produced in China, no matter whether it is ultimately shipped to Japan, North America, Europe, or any other region. So it wouldn't be unexpected to possibly see shipment delays outside of Japan too for the special edition.
This might partially depend on just how many systems have already been produced and shipped overseas from China. If a large amount already have been produced, it may be possible for Nintendo to cover the existing pre-orders with little delay using that stock, but with further stock including Japan's remaining in limbo.
I would suggest not panicking yet, but keeping an open mind to the possibility of delays. Of course, we'll keep you updated on any further announcements from Nintendo on the topic, especially from Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe.

The new Cutera Titan gives you an all-natural option to enhance skin tone. Titan uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skins surface. Without surgery, recovery time, or injections, Titan is an ideal solution for your face arms and abdomen.
Titan utilizes a safe, infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin's surface. During the procedure, the skin's top surface is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece.
Titan's light-based platform provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as RF (radio frequency).
Patients have been successfully treated on many areas of the body. The most common areas treated are the jaw line, under the chin, and the abdomen.
Since the Titan procedure heats tissue under the skin's surface, patients of any skin type can be treated. Men and women of all ages have been successfully treated. Your physician can advise you if the Titan is right for you.

Southern Style Meatloaf for the Win at the CJT Class 130 Cookoff!
Maya Douglas
It was the battle of meatloaves at the Culinary Job Training Class 130's cookoff on Wednesday. The eleven students were split up into four teams and each came up with a different way to prepare a meatloaf. Team Tastemakers were inspired by their southern background and prepared a southern style meatloaf. Team Taste of DC worked together to create a roasted red pepper meatloaf. Team Cheftatics leaned into their love of meat with their bacon-wrapped meatloaf recipe and Team Street Food prepared their take on a Philly cheesesteak meatloaf
After preparing ingredients the day before and spending their mornings working together as a team to create their dishes, the students proudly showed their work to a panel of judges. Michelle Grant, co-owner of Era Wine Bar; Joseph Tolbert, CJT Alum and DCCK Board Member; Christopher Floyd, Owner of Capital Restaurant Resources; and Alice Woods of Amazon Community Access, sampled all four dishes while asking the teams questions about the inspiration behind their meals, what their time in the Culinary Job Training program has been like, and what are their career goals.
Pamela has ambitions of being a baker while Dominic dreams of opening a Filipino-American restaurant.
"I knew what I wanted to do when I came here, but now I know what I'm capable of doing," said Lavon.
In the end, the Tastemakers Southern Style meatloaf impressed the judges the most with the recipe, presentation, and "freestyled" gravy. When asked for the inspiration behind serving their dish on a bed of mashed potatoes, Kenneth answered, "You just can't have meatloaf without mashed potatoes!"
Though only one team could win, the judges were impressed with the students' ability to collaborate with one another while creating 4 unique dishes.
DC Central Kitchen wants to extend a huge thank you to our guest judges for taking the time to support our students by providing culinary advice while encouraging them in their careers.

ASTM approves standard on composites for concrete repair
Amanda Jacob
This latest standard is part of a series of standards being developed by ASTM Subcommittee D30.05 on Structural Test Methods addressing reinforced polymer composite materials used in the repair and reinforcement of concrete buildings and other civil structures.
Subcommittee D30.05 is part of ASTM International Committee D30 on Composite Materials.
The new standard, ASTM D7565/D7565M, Test Method for Determining Tensile Properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites Used for Strengthening of Civil Structures, provides tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, which are key parameters used in the design of a strengthening application.
Russell Gentry, D30 member and associate professor at Georgia Tech, says that the new standard differs from the most well-known tension testing standard for composites – ASTM D3039, Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials – in that it provides specific instructions on fabricating specimens and calculating test results in a manner used in the construction industry as these materials are applied and cure in the field, and not in the controlled conditions typical of aerospace applications.
According to Gentry, material suppliers, contractors which are applying composite materials, and quality control laboratories will be the primary users of ASTM D7565.
Three other D30.05 civil infrastructure standards addressing material properties and durability of composite concrete reinforcement are currently under ballot. These proposed standards are:
ASTM WK22346, Test Method for Determining Overlap Splice Tensile Properties of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites Used for Strengthening of Civil Structures;
ASTM WK22348, Test Method for Transverse Shear Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite Bars; and
ASTM WK27200, Test Method for Alkali Resistance of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Matrix Composite Bars Used in Concrete Construction.
Gentry notes that much of this standards development work has been done in conjunction with American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 440 on Fiber Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement.
"We are in our fifth year of an ASTM-ACI collaboration that has produced five test methods so far," says Gentry, who also notes that greater participation in D30.05 activities is encouraged. "Many of these proposed test methods would benefit from additional review from the civil engineering structures community, and from round robin testing to establish precision and bias."

TSW had a double AP week, so that prompted me to put aside other MMOs and focus. I jumped in head first and also bought a 3-day timed AP injector as well as a 3-day timed SP injector. While under the effect of these buffs, I'll get a bonus skill point for every skill point earned, and a bonus ability point for every ability point earned (thus 2 extra, one from the AP injector and one from the bonus effect). Time to make some progress!
As much as I like this game, I've been somewhat sluggish moving through the content. Lolly-gagging, unfocused wandering, whatever you call it. Basically at about 100 hours in the game – according to Steam, and this game (unlike many other MMOs I play) I've only ever played via Steam – I was only in Blue Mountains, the 3rd explorable area of the initial zone. Essentially, not even finished with the storyline that shipped with the game ~4 years ago (!!).
So I entered Blue Ridge Mine (tier 13 of the Dawning of an Endless Night storyline mission) determined to finish it off.
I crept through dark mines, fought shadows, and eventually fought Freddy Beaumont, who I vaguely remember from an earlier cutscene (Tier 6, but it has been a long time since I completed that stage).
We fought and before I could gloat too much, I was pulled away into another mysterious place.
A disembodied voice offered me power and wealth, if I would only choose to accept their gift. Which I did. 😉 And in classic TSW fashion, the contents of that mysterious box are as-of-yet unrevealed.
After a short interlude back at Dragon headquarters in Seoul, I unlocked the Scorched Desert. Finally!
But, before I hurl myself into Egypt, I'd kinda like to finish off a few things in Blue Mountain. I've probably only done 80% of the quests there and would like to finish up before moving on. While I plan to get further into TSW, at the same time I don't want to hurdle the content along the way. I figure what I really need to do is just work TSW into my gaming rotation.
My only real criticism of TSW is many quests seem to me to be unnecessarily drawn out… many quests go a little too far overboard in throwing mobs at you or having you do that same thing too many times.. Somewhere between too few and too many is the right balance, and TSW often leans to the "too many" side.
The Dreamcatcher quest has you step into the spirit world and see what's bothering the ancestors. Turns out it is a Hound of Corruption, and on the way to fighting the monster, you'll fight shadow creatures, ones the Hound turns on you, and ones just sitting off the path. Again, you don't just fight one, five, or 10, but somewhere around 20+ along the way, in groups or 1 or 2.
An non-combat example is Treasure Hunt, where you are tasked with completing a search started by a deceased Orochi agent. Using a metal detector, complete with a sonar ping when you get close to a dig spot, the quest has you dig up 5 items twice. The quest is fun and there is combat as the beach is filled with wandering undead, but 10 items? I don't think anything would be lost if the quest slimmed down and required 2 or 3 each time – you'd have the quest mechanics but not as repetitively.
The biggest example I have for this is The Haunting, where partway through you fight Billy Lee manifestations. Not one, not 5, not even 10, but around 20 or more? I don't remember, I lost count. Seriously, it is that many, in groups. They come one, two, three at a time until you advance to kill the actual Billy Lee: at least 10 defending Frida Diaz, another 6 or 7 more while escorting Harriet Braun, and around 4 more on the way back to the attic. That should be more like 5-8 for all phases of the quest.
Basically, I think the quest flow would be vastly improved with some streamlining; in particular, thinning out the number of mobs or tasks per tier.
This is one thing FF14 really gets right – every time I'm sent out to kill X number of mobs for a quest, it is usually less than 5 or 6. I can only think of one quest (so far) that requested more than that – 8 or 10 – and that was a Thamaturge class quest. That's much better balance to me: enough so it isn't trivial but not so many it become tedious.

Q: How to rotate an QImage I want to rotate my QImage by the amount of x.
I don't want to use QPixMap or the PaintEvent if possible.
I have already searched for possible solutions but they didn't work.
Right now i am trying to solve it with the QTransform method:
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def rotate_pdf_ui(self):
        for index, object in enumerate(self.page_objects):
            if object.push_button.isChecked():
                object.rotate(90)
        self.delete_old_position()
        self.position_push_buttons_in_grid()

    def position_push_buttons_in_grid(self):
        row = 0
        column = 0
        for page_object in self.page_objects:
            self.ui.pushButtonGrid.addWidget(page_object.push_button, row, column)
            column += 1
            if int(len(self.page_objects) / 4) is column:
                row += 1
                column = 0
        self.ui.widgetLayout.setLayout(self.ui.pushButtonGrid)

    def delete_old_position(self):
        for push_button in reversed(range(self.ui.pushButtonGrid.count())):
            button_to_remove = self.ui.pushButtonGrid.itemAt(push_button).widget()
            self.ui.pushButtonGrid.removeWidget(button_to_remove)
            button_to_remove.setParent(None)
        return self.ui.pushButtonGrid

class PageObject:

    def rotate(self, rotation):
        my_transform = QTransform()
        my_transform.rotate(rotation)
        self.img.transformed(my_transform)
        self.rotation += rotation

I don't get any error message the image is just not rotated.

A: I found the mistake! Thank you furas:
 self.img = self.img.transformed(my_transform) was the first half of the solution!
In PySide2 and PyQt5 you have to create the QPushButton again to get the new image displayed otherwise it is just changed but never displayed.
def rotate_pdf_ui(self):
    for index, object in enumerate(self.page_objects):
        if object.push_button.isChecked():
            object.rotate(90)
            object.rotation += 90
    self.delete_old_position()
    self.position_push_buttons_in_grid()

def rotate(self, rotation):
    my_transform = QTransform()
    my_transform.rotate(rotation)
    self.img = self.img.transformed(my_transform)
    self.rotation += rotation
    self.push_button = self.createPushButton()

It's a good question that not many in the healthcare industry are teaching or covering, and at times I've been just as guilty of glossing over the unique needs of the ASCs when giving device credit seminars. So let's take this opportunity to delve into and resolve this matter.
In terms of reporting device credits under the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services' (CMS) purview, there are no real upending changes to follow as there were for hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), which as of January 2014 streamlined the device credit reporting protocols, aligning them with the longstanding inpatient methodology. ASCs therefore do not report Value Code FD under the new outpatient protocols but instead still are tasked with following the "old" method of reporting device credit modifiers -FB and -FC.
This method reduces the ASC reimbursement in "block" discount fashion, ignoring the actual amount of the device credit. For 2016, the Final Rule issued Nov. 13, 2015 in the Federal Register for OPPS/ASC did not include a list of reportable devices impacted by the credit policy, but it did include Table 66 for "ASC Covered Surgical Procedures Designated as Device-Intensive for CY 2016, Including ASC Covered Surgical Procedures for Which the No Cost/Full Credit or Partial Credit Device Adjustment Policy Will Apply." This table lists the device-related procedures that cannot be performed without implanting a device (i.e., "device-intensive"), and for which the devices implanted (when credited) must be reported when the credits are 50 percent or greater of the replacement costs.
By audit, the guidelines for reporting device credits based on the modifier system historically has been confusing for many providers, including ASCs. In some cases audits have shown a 100 percent error rate. This vulnerability hasn't gone unnoticed by federal auditing agencies, and this "risk item" has been on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General's (OIG's) radar screen for years, surfacing yet again in the OIG Work Plan for 2016. Which reporting errors is the OIG uncovering? Aside from ignoring the available credits and reporting the claims absent any efforts to recover the potential discounts, the majority of errors rest squarely on the reporting of device credit modifiers -FB and -FC.
Modifier -FB is defined as "item provided without cost to provider, supplier or practitioner, or full credit received for replaced device." Audit errors are divided into the "modifier -FB modifier was not reported correctly" group as well as the "modifier was omitted and the credit not reported" group.
-FB reported in error: Again, modifier -FB is reported for no cost or fully (100 percent) credited devices, and includes a 1) device replaced by the manufacturer due to product or FDA recall, 2) device replaced under warranty due to defect or malfunction, or 3) device given to the provider as a free sample or at no cost. The most common provider error is in mis-reporting: appending this modifier to the wrong line-item code on the UB-04 or CMS-1500 claim form. For clarification, this modifier is not appended to the HCPCS-II device code that it targets as being reduced (as might be logically assumed), but instead is appended to the "anchoring" or main CPT procedure code for the ASC surgical procedure. Modifier -FB is an outpatient payment modifier, which means that it modifies reimbursement. In this case the modification is a rather significant payment reduction; therefore, it must be appended to the anchoring procedure code from which the Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) group is derived and to which the bundled reimbursement is attached. The -FB modifier flags the payment edits to offset the APC payment by 100 percent of the reimbursement dollars associated with the implantable device. If the vendor offers a 100 percent credit then the CMS logic is to reduce the APC payment by the same percentage. Submitting claims with this modifier appended to the wrong code, e.g., to the device HCPCS-II code, doesn't trip any particular claim edit flags at the CMS jurisdictional entity, which results in the provider receiving incorrect, unadjusted reimbursement.
-FB omitted in error: A related error often made by providers that interestingly adjust the line item charge associated with the device credit is the omission of the modifier that trips the payment reduction. In this case, the modifier is not appended to the wrong code, it's simply not coded. The credit scenario is known, but again, the modifier that flags the discount is not coded. Submitting the original claim or a corrected claim by reducing the device line item charge by the amount of the credit but still without reporting the -FB modifier with the anchoring CPT procedure code does nothing to influence reimbursement. CMS does not reduce payment from the line-item charge, but instead reduces payment via the -FB modifier.
Resolution: As a basis for accurate and consistent modifier reporting, instruction in the correct coding of the -FB modifier may be one initial step to take. At a claim level perspective, once the credit amount is verified as 100 percent, the -FB modifier has to be appended to the anchoring CPT code for the major procedure associated with the implantable device. For credits not known immediately after the procedure, and unless a "pre-bill hold" is placed on each claim with a pending device credit, once the CMS-1500 claim forms have dropped, diligent follow-up will be essential for compliance (and ultimately, correct reimbursement).
-FC reported in error: Because modifier -FC is reported for device credits ranging from 50 to 99.9 percent, and because the partial credits may have been extended with payment of the invoice or after the replacement procedure has been performed and the device has been returned to the vendor for testing (interrogation), various time lags my need to be managed, and consequently, myriad "snags" in the ASC's device credit monitoring system can occur. It's a bit akin to having 15 balls in the air, all different sizes and all requiring skilled handling, all at one time. Difficulties can arise and errors can occur in both calculating the device threshold as well as reporting the modifier on the appropriate code (similar to -FB modifier mistakes). Often, the credit amount is miscalculated against the replacement cost of the device or device component, and the final percentage is miscalculated as below 50 percent. And because claims that should bear the -FC modifier usually far outnumber those with the -FB modifier, the process for tracking and correcting them once the vendor credit memo has been received, perhaps weeks or months after the initial claim has dropped, has the potential to be overwhelming, depending on the ASC's device-intensive procedure volume.
-FC omitted in error: Omission of this modifier on the CMS-1500 by ASCs occurs on a regular basis, although again, curiously upon audit, the predominant finding in this category of errors is that the line-item device charge still has been reduced from the usual charge by the credit amount; therefore, it's apparent from the submitted documentation that there is a known credit for the case. But without the -FC modifier to designate the device as having a 50 percent-or-greater credit, improper Medicare payment ensues. Analysis shows that even the subsequently corrected claims exhibit the same error, causing Medicare (on paper) to reverse the initial reimbursement, re-adjudicate the claim, and then pay the exact same amount to the provider.
Resolution: As with modifier -FB, the initial logical step might be staff education and training that targets correct reporting of modifier -FC. Because there are typically many more partial credit occurrences to report than full (100 percent) credits, and because many credit amounts are not known in advance of device interrogation by the vendor, there might be time lapses between the actual ex-plantation/replacement procedures and receipt of the credits. It then becomes paramount to have an assiduous device credit tracking and monitoring system established, manned by knowledgeable and persistent staff.
Conclusion: Designating staff with accountable roles and responsibilities within the device credit tracking and monitoring workflow process is essential for successful and compliant implantable medical device credit management. Staff must "own" their piece of the process, implemented through corporate policy. Firm decisions need to be made by department directors about who does what; this includes vendor representative interface (i.e., good communication with the device company), lapsed credit memo tracking and monitoring, and both initial and corrected claims follow-up and follow-through. Instituting a policy for timely feedback reportable at monthly interdepartmental work group or committee meetings on the status of current device credit processes, volume of pending credits, and cases for which difficulty has arisen is likewise an essential compliance plan feature. ASCs can adroitly identify, track, and manage implantable medical device credits per federal guidelines; it just takes a workable policy, fluid workflow processes, and an educated, alert staff!

Manchester United's were reduced to 10 men and their top four hopes were dealt a blow as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Wolves.
United made a bright start at Molineux as Scott McTominay gave them a lead after just 13 minutes with a low strike from 22 yards as he scored his first goal for the club.
The lead lasted just 12 minutes however, as Diogo Jota perfectly timed his run and finished coolly after being played in by Raul Jimenez.
United captain Ashley Young was then sent off in the 57th minute after picking up two yellow cards in the space of five minutes, with both of his bookings coming for fouls on Jota.
It looked as if the visitors were going to hold on for a point until Chris Smalling's shambolic own goal with 13 minutes remaining.
Phil Jones and Raul Jimenez both challenged for Jonny's cross and the ball ended up rolling past United keeper David De Gea, and Smalling someone contrived to push the ball into the net with his hand as he dived to clear.
United are fifth in the standings and level on points with Spurs, who have played a game less, immediately above them.
Wolves remain seventh and the win over United will provide a welcome confidence boost going into their FA Cup semi-final with Watford at Wembley on Sunday.

GIVE US A WAVE, GORDIE
24/08/2021 · by SteveRicketts	· in The Column.	·
Spectators in 'The Threepenny Stand' at The Boulevard, Hull were regarded as some of the most knowledgeable and quick witted in the game of rugby league. They could make life miserable for players having an off-night, or for former Hull players returning to the ground in the jersey of a rival club.
It was not unknown for some of those 'turncoats' to play on the same side of the field, in both halves, to keep as far away as possible from the Threepenny mob.
I covered Kangaroo tour matches there in 1982 and '86, and they were both fiery affairs, with Australia winning 13-7 in '82 and 44-0 in '86. Australian fullback, Garry Jack was hit by a little old lady when a brawl spilled over the sidelines into the Threepenny Stand area, during the 1986 debacle.
My last assignment at 'The Boulevard' was November 4, 2000, when Australia played Russia in a World Cup pool match, with Broncos firebrand, Gorden Tallis captaining his country for the first time.
Australia won 110-4 with the Threepenny Stand well and truly on the side of the Russians, saving their biggest cheer for their only try, scored by Matt Donovan, who was selected for Russia under the grandparent rule.
Russian coach, Evgemi Klebanov said there was a good youth system at home and it was important they saw games such as this, to find out what was required in the international arena.
Those in the Threepenny Stand repeatedly chanted for Tallis to give them a wave, and he eventually obliged.
The trip from my Leeds' base to Hull was worth the effort, if only for the chance to catch up with the great Colin Hutton, who watched the match from the terraces. Colin was coach of the 1962 British side, which won the Ashes in Australia, and managed the 1982 British team, which was coached by John Whitely.
Earlier that day I had covered the England v Fiji match at Headingley, Leeds with the Poms winning 66-10 against a brave Bati, who had Lote Tuqiri in great form. England coach, John Kear said if his side kept progressing, he believed they could win the tournament.
Covering the World Cup for News Ltd (not just The Courier-Mail) I tried to get to as many matches as possible.
My campaign had started with the England v Australia match at Twickenham on October 28 (see 'Rugby League Violence at Twickenham' on this website). The following day, I drove west to Gloucester, a rugby union stronghold, for the New Zealand v Lebanon match.
I caught up with The Independent's Dave Hadfield from Bolton, (also well-known as George Dunkerley, Rugby League Week's England correspondent) for an Ushers Ale in the Queens Arms before the match. (Where did Prince Charles have his first drink? In the Queens Arms, of course).
Kingsholm Park was, and still is, home to the Gloucester Rugby Union club. I'm not sure what the media facilities are like now, but they were primitive in 2000, and the rain blew straight into my face as I tried to take notes in the front row of the old wooden stand.
The Kiwis won 64-0 with the game never reaching any great heights. Put it this way. I don't think any of the local rugger types would have been converted to the 13-man game. Lebanon were coached by colourful Sydney identity, John Elias with the great Arthur Beetson his assistant.
I got a wonderful surprise at Kingsholm. Sitting behind me in the grandstand was Frank Kennedy and his son, Edward, who lived near Cheltenham. Frank, a former bricklayer from Widnes, played rugby league in the Cheshire town. I met him in Australia early in 1974, and we kept in touch, on and off, with 1990 the last time I saw him, when he lived at Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds.
Frank spotted my wife, Marie first, and we had an emotional get-together at half-time.
Marie flew to Ireland on Tuesday, October 31 to catch up with her niece, Kellie Kelly in Tipperary. After dropping her off at Manchester Airport, there was an accident on the Motorway and I detoured through Barnsley. When I got back to Leeds, they were about to close Kirkstall Road because of flooding. Traffic is always chaotic in the north.
The weather was miserable, and I felt miserable, having caught a fever from getting drenched in Gloucester. Still, I had a couple of drinks that night with Australian assistant coach, Steve Anderson and team manager, Steve Bleakley at The Queens, where free XXXX was supplied, given the Brisbane based brewery sponsored the Kangaroos. No Covid then.
Bleakley's co-manager, Darryl (number 9) Bampton was resting in his room, after a mild case of frost bite. The former South Sydney and Collegians (Wollongong) forward had walked with the players to a nearby gym, wearing only thongs on his feet, even though it was bitterly cold.
There was a disappointing crowd of just 4,197 for the Australia v Fiji match at Gateshead on Wednesday, November 1, despite a march past of local school kids. Mat Rogers scored four tries for Australia in a 66-8, but Tuqiri stole the show, scoring a try himself and setting up another. Fiji were coached by Don Furner, who played Broncos' winger, Tuqiri at fullback, on the advice of Broncos' coach, Wayne Bennett.
Fellow media pack members, Steve Mascord (Sydney Morning Herald) and Maria Hawthorne (AAP) filed their stories in the car, while I drove back to Leeds. Lucky them. I had to stay up late in my room sending my copy back to Australia. Maria, a diligent scribe, got every national newspaper delivered to her room at the Queens. I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express, which was basic compared with the Queen's.
After Australian training at South Leeds on Friday, November 3, I drove to Dewsbury and Batley for a look around these West Yorkshire league strongholds. I was pleasantly surprised by the 'grandeur' of some of the civic buildings in Dewsbury, which was a centre of the heavy woollen industry.
I also caught up with former Great Britain forward, Brian Lockwood at his pub/brewery, 'The Boat' at Allerton Bywater.
The quarter final draw was announced the day after Australia's match at The Boulevard and Australia was to play Samoa at Vicarage Lane, Watford.
More to come in future posts.

Miller Excites but Marquez wins a Thrilling Australian MotoGP 2017 at Phillip Island
| News, Sport
Rising Australian GP rider Jack Miller gave local fans plenty to cheer about at Phillip Island however it was Marc Marquez that prevailed in a breathtaking race, that has positioned Marquez riding on HONDA to be the favourite to win the overall MotoGP championship for the second time. The defending champion crossed the line 1.8 seconds ahead veteran Valentino Rossi who finished second ahead of teammate Maverick Vinales and Frenchman Johann Zarco. Local rider Jack Miller and The Marc VDS team Honda team finished seventh and Millers lead the race during the first four laps and was actually top 3 for much of the race until his rear tyre let him down. The race lead changed throughout as seven riders vied for the lead positions and a mere 1.2 seconds separating them as they bumped into each other making breathtaking passes on moves in all corners of the exciting Phillip Island Circuit.
Rossi's love affair with Phillip Island continued as his second was his 17th podium in 21 visits to Phillip Island, an incredible record.

Dutch Teams Dominate the 2017 World Solar Challenge
The Dutch team Nuon won the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge which was concluded on the 12th of October. The team beat at least 40 other competitors to clinch their third win in a row, after winning the same competition in both 2013 and 2015. The team took an early lead while still in Darwin, and they stayed in first place for the entirety of the race. This was the 7th time that the team from the TU Delft University in the Netherlands has won the World Solar Challenge. Living up to its legacy, the Nuna 9 Solar Car driven by the Nuon team was the first to cross the finish line in Victoria Square in Adelaide. The Novum Solar Car created and driven by the team from Michigan University, came in second. Third place was taken by Punch 2, a solar car driven by the Punch Powertrain Team from Belgium. The first three teams in the Challenger category managed average speeds of 81.2, 77.1, and 76.2 km/h respectively. The 3000km race started out in Darwin, Australia with the Nuon team taking advantage of the suitable weather conditions and their experienced personnel to give themselves a sizable lead right at the start.
The 4 Health and Fitness Newsletters and Blogs You Should Subscribe To
In the age of fake news, it's hard to cut through the click-bait clutter and find health and fitness advice from people qualified to give it. There's a difference between would-be authorities – you know, the people who look good in gym mirror selfies and dispense product-placement focused tips to their big Instagram followings – and professionals with years of expertise working at the highest level. Here are four newsletters and blogs from legitimate experts whose writing and insights you can trust:Found My FitnessThere's an awful lot of junk science out there, and even more instances of mainstream media outlets misinterpreting the latest studies and extrapolating their results to label certain foods or practices as cure-alls. In contrast, Dr. Rhonda Patrick – a PhD in biomedical science herself – interviews some of the greatest exercise scientists to glean rock-solid practical applications from their latest discoveries. H Peak Performance Writer Brad Stulberg and running coach Steve Magness wrote one of the best books of the last year, Peak Performance (which we interviewed Steve about in this story). In their weekly newsletter of the same name, they continue to provide a combination of common-sense advice and cutting-edge research on everything from cultivating positivity to developing winning habits to creating an environment that's conducive to excellence.
Exercising in the heat may not be worth it
| Fitness, News, Sport
Are you slogging through your workouts in these dog days of summer in the hopes that all of this hot-weather exercise will earn you extra fitness points come fall? You may be in for a sad surprise. A new study found that exercising in the heat may not be giving you the benefits you think it is. In fact, you may be better off moving your workouts indoors until those temps come back down. Researchers at the University of Nebraska at Omaha looked at the overall effect of exercise in different temperatures to get a better idea of how the body responds to workouts in various temperatures. They focused on the mitochondria (if you remember from high school biology, mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells; the energy needed by every cell in your body is produced in the mitochondria.) For the study, which was notably small, researchers recruited 36 participants and took tissue samples before and after their workouts in hot (91 degrees Fahrenheit), cold (44 degrees F), and temperate conditions (68 degrees F). Their initial results showed that when exercisers did their workouts in the heat, there was no development in the mitochondria. "In fact, the response [in heat is] about the same as if no exercise had occurred," lead researcher Dustin Slivka, director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, said in an interview with the Huffington Post.

Backing Robinhood, JAY-Z's Roc Nation Invests in Would-be Rockefellers
by Moxye Staff
Roc Nation, the full-service entertainment management company created by the music impresario Shawn Carter (better known as JAY-Z), is making an investment in financial trading platform Robinhood.
The investment, through Roc Nation's Arrive subsidiary, is the latest instance of a celebrity rapper plowing cash into Robinhood's free-to-trade investment platform. The company also counts Snoop Dogg and Nasir Jones (also known as Nas) among its big-time backers.
Robinhood is actually Arrive's third investment into a high-growth startup tech company. The firm has also backed Devialt, a French audio technology company, and InSite Applications, a location-sharing platform that's planning to launch its services later this year.
In addition to boatloads of cash, which has valued Robinhood at roughly $1.3 billion, the San Francisco startup has also picked up 3 million users trading in both stocks and cryptocurrency.

Launched last year, Arrive was created to partner with early-stage startups and provide them with brand services, business development, advisory and capital services to increase growth (it's unclear that this would be all that useful for Robinhood since the company raised $176 million).
"ARRIVE was created to leverage our experience and resources in building brands, developing consumer facing businesses, managing artists and representing athletes. We've opened that diversified, global range of expertise to a new vertical: entrepreneurs and their early stage businesses" said Neil Sirni, head of New Ventures at Roc Nation in a statement at the time of the company's launch.
Arrive said at the time it would launch a traditional venture fund to support company growth after the seed round. The New York-based venture firm Primary Venture Partners and GlassBridge Asset Management are both advising Arrive on its operations.

Actual Views: Drake Lists Lavish Yolo Estate With Custom Grotto
The rapper dubbed the home the "Yolo Estate," which includes a movie theater, 80-foot slide and multiple waterfalls and is listed for $20 million
By Morgan Halberg • 01/30/17 2:38pm
Everyone needs a grotto, right?
Drake is "obsessed" with pools. It shows.
The 25-seat theater.
The wine cellar, with separate tasting room.
One of the many fireplaces.
The interiors.
Views.
It has a vaguely Playboy Mansion vibe...
Waterfalls are crucial.
Drake bought the home in 2012.
Very relaxing.
The gym.
The wood-paneled library is one of the tamer rooms.
There are tennis, basketball and volleyball courts.
The exterior of the main house is surprisingly low-key.
The spa-slash-massage room.
The game room.
He reportedly spent four years redoing the home.
There used to be a "YOLO" sign outside, but it was stolen three times.
Cabanas, obviously.

UPDATE, 2/2/17: The listing for the Yolo Estate was removed this week, as the reported listing agent, Alex Pavlov, was apparently dealing with a fraud, according to The Real Deal. Someone claiming to be Drake's manager reached out to Pavlov, saying Drake wanted to part ways with the Hidden Hills house. Pavlov "unintentionally made the listing active" on MLS, though it is now gone—Pavlov is planning on contacting the police regarding the matter. Sadly for anyone thrilled about the prospect of owning Drake's custom grotto, you'll just have to resign yourself to perusing photos of the ridiculous set-up.
Even in the ridiculously over-the-top realm of celebrity real estate, Drake's lavish Hidden Hills mansion still manages to stand out.
It's hard to name the most extravagant feature in the 12,500-square-foot home, which the Canadian rapper bought for $7.7 million in 2012 and subsequently dubbed the "Yolo Estate."
One might think the most over-the-top feature is the swimming pool with statues of two women in bikinis, with a swim-in grotto, waterfalls, wet bar, flatscreen televisions and 80-foot slide. The property also includes a 5-stall horse stable, but Drake (who's real name is Aubrey Drake Graham) does not own horses. Of course, there's also a mechanical bull, tennis and basketball court, beach volleyball court and a 25-seat movie theater.
Luckily for anyone yearning over the aforementioned amenities, Drake just put the Los Angeles estate on the market, with a $19,999,900 million price tag attached, according to the Los Angeles Times. Seems safe to round up to $20 million here.

The six-bedroom, ten-bathroom home is situated on 2.91 acres, and Drake spent four years rebuilding and constructing the "one of a kind masterpiece," per the listing held by Alexei Pavlov of First Choice Realty.
The English Tudor-style main house was built in 1974, with more traditional features like coffered and beamed ceilings, a wood-paneled library and four fireplaces. There's a game room, spa-slash-massage room and a wine cellar complete with a separate tasting room.
For the men who dream of using this property to impress the ladies, well, Drake's already one step ahead of you. The rapper informed Rolling Stone that when he brings women home, he "delights in flipping a switch beside a bookshelf, which swings open to reveal his bedroom."
Drake hasn't said why he's ready to leave behind the customized party palace, but he also owns the house next door to the Yolo Estate, which he bought for $2.85 million in September 2016. Perhaps this means he's finally finished building his Canadian dream house; in the same Rolling Stone interview, Drake said he was in the early stages of building a home on the outskirts of his native Toronto, that is expected to "include 'an Olympic-size pool inside the house.'"

When good animals make bad decisions
Thursday, May 4, 2017, 03:56 AM | Source: Pursuit
Stephen Swearer, Robin Hale
Life is full of choices and animals have to make them every day, such as where to live, where to feed, and which other animals to interact with. These decisions are often based on an animal's perception of their surroundings – is it raining, am I too cold, is that a predator I smell? The consequences of getting this wrong could mean the difference between life and death.
But for some animals, the impact of the modern human environment on their habitat can cause confusion, leading to bad decisions and possible extinction.

Many insects, for example, are attracted to light reflected off water, but artificial surfaces like roads and the sides of buildings can mimic these natural reflective surfaces. The end result is that when the insects lay their eggs, they can't hatch.
Similarly, some species of marine turtles use moonlight to navigate toward the ocean after hatching, but may instead head inland, attracted by streetlights along the shoreline.
What these animals are experiencing is an 'ecological trap' – when they are attracted to places where their chances of survival and reproduction are much poorer. If an ecological trap is so attractive that it draws animals away from their natural, good-quality habitats, their failure to survive and breed could lead to population collapses and local extinction.
The end of sustainability
The ecological trap concept was originally developed by researchers studying birds in Europe and North America. Support for the concept is strong in terrestrial habitats, but there is a paucity of research on ecological traps in aquatic environments. This is a knowledge gap that we are working hard to address at the Research on the Ecology and Evolution of Fishes (REEF) group in the School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne.
REEF is studying ecological traps in a variety of freshwater and marine systems to determine how they affect aquatic animals and how they might be mitigated.
A major focus of our research is to better understand how our attempts to restore habitats could inadvertently create these traps. When humans rehabilitate or restore areas like forests, wetlands or coral reefs, we tend to focus on the major structural elements such as trees, water bodies or corals. The problem is that we aren't always aware of all the additional resources animals use and need in their daily lives.
If these resources aren't present and animals colonise these areas, thinking it's a good habitat, then our laudable attempts to restore degraded habitats into something we perceive will be good for biodiversity, may ultimately backfire.
All drains don't lead to the ocean
In Melbourne, southeast Australia, over 600 wetlands have been constructed to filter pollutants from storm water run-off. We are working with Dr Rhys Coleman from Melbourne Water, Dr Vincent Pettigrove from the Centre for Aquatic Pollution Identification and Management, Professor Raoul Mulder from the School of BioSciences, and Associate Professor Kirsten Parris from the School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences, to better understand how these wetlands perform as habitats for animals, and whether some are ecological traps.

"Aquatic animals that inhabit stormwater wetlands are exposed to a range of pollutants capable of reducing survival and reproductive success, but which may not be detected," says PhD student Michael Sievers, who is working on this project for his thesis.
"I am trying to evaluate how these artificial habitats are affecting native frogs, and determine whether frogs are capable of evaluating habitat quality when selecting breeding sites."
As part of the study, we are also exploring whether some wetlands are traps for a small, conservation-listed fish, the dwarf galaxias (Galaxiella pusilla). We're testing if the growth, survival and reproduction of these fish varies among wetlands with different water and sediment qualities, as well as tree and macrophyte (aquatic plant) cover. These are all factors that are likely to influence which wetlands are suitable or not for this native fish.
Farmed salmon hard of hearing
A complementary study by University of Melbourne masters student Tim Brown is focused on better understanding the effects of the exotic mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) on the population of dwarf galaxias.
"We know from previous work that mosquitofish harass adults but what surprised us was just how voracious a predator they are on the larval stages," says Mr Brown.
"What's most worrying is that dwarf galaxias don't seem to recognise mosquitofish as a threat, which makes trying to manage their recovery a real challenge when mosquitofish are pretty much everywhere."
It's hoped that these two studies will help inform waterway managers on how best to provide suitable conditions for wetland animals.
Meanwhile, out at sea, invasions by exotic seaweeds might themselves create ecological traps for fish. Many reef fishes in southern Australia rely on seaweed for food and shelter, but in Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, the exotic seaweed Undaria frequently invades and outcompetes native seaweeds.

The danger is these new habitats might be ecological traps - attracting fish without offering the same quality of availability and shelter from prey species.
Alternatively, Undaria may actually be a good-quality habitat that fish avoid because it looks different. Both these outcomes exacerbate the effects of urban marine degradation on fish populations by causing fish to make bad habitat selection decisions.
"We sometimes find fish living in Undaria patches in Port Phillip Bay, but we don't know how this works for them in terms of survival and reproduction" says PhD student Luke Barrett, who is researching this invasive seaweed.
Do Artificial Reefs help or hinder?
Millions of dollars have already been spent globally on Artificial Reefs (ARs), but often with a focus on enhancing recreational fishing. However, many other non-fished species may be attracted to ARs. What if the attraction doesn't come with any benefit for these species? If these reefs attract fish but lack the food or shelter requirements many species of reef fish need, then they may be functioning as ecological traps.
The necessity of kindness
One case could be that of the southern hulafish (Trachinops caudimaculatus) which is being investigated by PhD student Valeriya Komyakova. According to her research, hulafish are three times more likely to settle on ARs than natural reefs, but are nine times more likely to die.
"This is a really important finding as it's some of the first documented evidence that ecological traps can form in the ocean," says Ms Komyakova.
Humans are altering coastal marine ecosystems at unprecedented rates. The rapid environmental changes associated with pollution, invasive species, harvesting, and habitat modification in coastal oceans are creating a wealth of 'ecological surprises' that animals have never had to face during their evolutionary history.
What the REEF group is just starting to uncover is that these new man-made environments have great potential to create possibly deadly ecological traps.
