News Release 27-Feb-2012
The poor, in fact, are less likely to sue their doctor
Study sheds light on why physicians mistakenly believe that poor people sue more often
Contrary to the common perception among physicians that poor people sue doctors more frequently, Ramon L. Jimenez from the Monterey Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute and his team demonstrate that socioeconomically disadvantaged patients, in fact, tend to sue physicians less often. Their work suggests that this myth may exist because of subconscious prejudices or stereotypes that affect thinking and decision making without doctors being aware of it - a phenomenon known as unconscious bias. Dr. Jimenez and his colleagues' work is published online in Springer's journal, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research.
Some physicians believe that, as a group, low-income patients tend to sue their doctors more often than other patients. This mindset has potential negative effects on the doctor-patient relationship, including some physicians' reluctance to treat poor patients, or treat such patients differently from other patient groups in medical care terms.
Jimenez and team reviewed medical and social studies looking at the differences in litigation rates, and related medical malpractice claims, among socioeconomically disadvantaged patients compared with other groups of patients. Their analyses show that, in reality, low-income patients actually sue their doctors less often than other patient groups, in part because of a more limited access to legal resources and a payment system in medical malpractice claims which requires an advance on funds to litigate the case.
The authors also highlight how physicians may have an unconscious desire to avoid treating poor patients out of concerns about financial reimbursement. Such physicians might consciously or unconsciously presume poor patients are more likely to sue, as an excuse or way of avoiding the presumed difficulty associated with collecting payment from such patients. In this situation, the doctor's unconscious mind can trick him or her into behaving in an undesirable way - a process known as unconscious bias.
The researchers also argue that culturally competent care, promoted by the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons Diversity Advisory Board, is an effective means to overcome unconscious bias. For example, many patients perceive that they are not treated appropriately, or with respect, because of inadvertent mistakes made by providers who are not familiar with their culture. They can, as a result, turn away from the healthcare system, resulting in disparities in care.
Jimenez concludes: "Helping doctors to become more culturally competent i.e. able to treat or relate better to a patient from a different race, ethnicity, sex, socio-economic status or sexual orientation, may help overcome these misperceptions. In addition, improving education and training for the delivery of culturally competent care, and empowering patients to play more meaningful roles in their healthcare decisions are proven strategies that can positively impact health disparities, the quality of medical care, physician satisfaction, and the incidence of medical malpractice litigation."

The articles are accessible online if accepted for publication.
Authors and readers can study, download and/or print the open access articles.
Articles are licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (CC BY-NC 4.0) (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode), which permits unrestricted, non-commercial use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided that the work is properly cited.
ICDTD Inc follows the single blind peer-review procedure for submissions of all manuscripts to its journals. Single blind is the most common type of peer-reviewing in which the identity of the reviewers is not disclosed to the authors of the submitted manuscript. The anonymity of reviewers allows for objective assessment of the manuscript by reviewers and is also free from any influence by the authors on the reviewer's comments.
All submitted articles are subject to an extensive peer review in consultation with members of the Journal's Editorial Board and independent external referees; (usually three reviewers). All manuscripts are assessed rapidly and the decision taken by the journal's Editor-in-Chief based on all the peer reviewers' comments is then conveyed to the author(s).
All efforts are made to expedite the peer review process leading timely publication.
Authors publishing with ICDTD Inc retain the copyright to their work.
Authors have the flexibility to publish a wide range of articles in a ICDTD Inc journal e.g. short communications, full-length research and review articles, supplements, conference proceedings and case studies.
For human or animal experimental investigations, it is a prerequisite to provide a formal review and approval, or review and waiver, by an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee and should be documented in your paper.
All clinical investigations must be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki principles. Authors must comply with the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/) with regard to the patient's consent for research or participation in a study. Patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers must not be mentioned anywhere in the manuscript (including figures). Editors may request that authors provide documentation of the formal review and recommendation from the institutional review board or ethics committee responsible for oversight of the study.
Appeals and Complaints: Authors who wish to make a complaint should refer it to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal concerned. Complaints to the Publisher may be emailed to office@icdtdi.ca
Plagiarism Prevention: ICDTD Inc uses the Turnitin (http://turnitin.com/) software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Turnitin software checks content against a database of periodicals, the Internet, and a comprehensive article database. It generates a similarity report, highlighting the percentage overlap between the uploaded article and the published material. Any instance of content overlap is further scrutinized for suspected plagiarism according to the publisher's Editorial Policies. ICDTD Inc allows an overall similarity of 20% for a manuscript to be considered for publication. The similarity percentage is further checked keeping the following important points in view:
Types of Plagiarism: We all know that scholarly manuscripts are written after thorough review of previously published articles. It is therefore not easy to draw a clear boundary between legitimate representation and plagiarism. However, the following important features can assist in identifying different kinds of plagiarized content. These are:
Text recycling, also known as self-plagiarism. It is the author's use of a previous publication in another paper without proper citation and acknowledgement of the original source.
Paraphrasing poor Copying complete paragraphs and modifying a few words without changing the structure of original sentences or changing the sentence structure but not the words.
Higher similarity in the abstract, introduction, materials and methods, and discussion and conclusion sections indicates that the manuscript may contain plagiarized text. Authors can easily explain these parts of the manuscript in many ways. However, technical terms and sometimes standard procedures cannot be rephrased; therefore, Editors must review these sections carefully before making a decision.
Plagiarism in Published Manuscripts: Published manuscripts which are found to contain plagiarized text are retracted from the journal website after careful investigation and approval by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. A 'Retraction Note' as well as a link to the original article is published on the electronic version of the plagiarized manuscript.
Copyrights: Authors who publish in ICDTD Inc journals retain copyright to their work. Submission of a manuscript to the respective journals implies that all authors have read and agreed to the content of the Covering Letter or the Terms and Conditions. It is a condition of publication that manuscripts submitted to this journal have not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere.

Any commercial application of the work, with prior agreement by the author, is exclusively granted to ICDTD Inc.
Waiver: Authors grant to ICDTD Inc (licensor) the right to retain all revenue from commercial sales of the author's published article in a ICDTD Inc journal.
ICDTD Inc offers affordable article processing fees, ranking amongst the lowest as compared to those of other open access journal publishers. An article-processing fee payable by the author/ author's institution applies for every accepted article, to cover the costs incurred by open access publication. Member of ICDTD Inc are entitled to discounted article processing fees.
Authors can self-archive post prints of their published articles.
Authors can reproduce derivative works of the article for educational purposes and distribute its copies.
Publication Charges Policy: ICDTD Inc is committed to disseminating research and scholarly publications as widely as possible. It supports the principle that 'the results of research that have been publicly funded should be freely accessible in the public domain' and therefore it encourages researchers to make their research available through Open Access (OA).
Open access publishing is not without costs. To provide open access, ICDTD Inc journals partly defray the expenses of peer review, journal production, and online hosting and archiving from authors and their research sponsors by charging a publication fee for each article they publish. The fees vary by journal.
Errata and Corrections in Published Articles: Authors and readers are encouraged to notify the Editor-in-Chief if they discover errors in published content, authors' names and affiliations or if they have reasons for concern over the legitimacy of a publication. In such cases the journal will publish an ERRATUM in consultation with Editor-in-Chief and authors of the article, and/or replace or retract the article.
Article Withdrawal: Articles in Press (articles that have been accepted for publication or published as E-pub Ahead of Schedule but which have not been formally published with volume/issue/page information) that include errors, or are determined to violate the publishing ethics guidelines such as multiple submission, fake claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like, may be "Withdrawn" from the journal. Withdrawal means that the article files are removed and replaced with a PDF stating that the article has been withdrawn from the journal in accordance with ICDTD Inc Editorial Policies.
Article Retraction: Published articles (with volume/issue/page information) which may contain infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like are retracted.
A retraction note titled "Retraction: [article title]" signed by the authors and/or the Editor-in-Chief is published in the paginated part of a subsequent issue of the journal and listed in the contents list.
In the electronic version, a link is made to the original article.
The online article is preceded by a screen containing the retraction note. It is to this screen that the link resolves; the reader can then proceed to the article itself.
The original article is retained unchanged with a watermark on the .pdf indicating on each page that it is "retracted."
The HTML version of the document is removed.
Redundant (multiple) publication/ Re-publication: Abstracts and posters at conferences, results presented at meetings (for example, to inform investigators or participants about findings), and results databases (data without interpretation, discussion, context or conclusions in the form of tables and text to describe data/information where this is not easily presented in tabular form) are not considered to be prior publication.
Authors who want to publish translations of the articles that have been published elsewhere should ensure that they have appropriate permission(s), should indicate clearly that the material has been translated and re-published, and should indicate clearly the original source of the material. The Editor-in-Chief may request copies of related publications if they are concerned about overlap and possible redundancy.

The rose has a long history in gardens and in literature. There are a number of expressions that use the rose as a metaphor. "A bed of roses" refers to the Sybarites who were able to enjoy the luxury of sleeping on mattresses filled with rose petals.
The common Latin phrase sub rosa (under the rose), meaning in strict confidence, refers to the use of the rose as a symbol of secrecy. Roses were carved in the ceilings of Roman dining rooms and over 16th-century church confessionals, in both cases to remind those under it (sub rosa) that anything said there was not for publication.

Meyrick Park
Forming part of the Meyrick Park and Talbot Wood conservation area, the setting and present day layout has been largely determined by the allocation of land under the Christchurch Inclosure Act of 1802. The area saw further development from the mid 1800's in the hands of the Meyrick family and is characterised by the grand, lavish and richly detailed Victorian and Edwardian villas which set a bench mark for later developments.
In 1894, the first of a number of new parks was opened to satisfy the increasing predilection of Victorians to undertake leisure and sports activities and was named Meyrick Park in honour of Sir George Meyrick.
Set within 120 acres of undulating scenic woodland, the park includes a bowling green, rugby and cricket pitch, playing fields and 18 hole championship golf club drawing golfers from all over the world looking to master the challenging course.
Meyrick Park provides a country setting in the heart of the town and forms a hub for families offering an array of sporting activities and events. The golf course is served by a modern day golf club, gym and swimming pool and the restored Lodge provides accommodation for members, visitors and tourists. The park and club are just a stone's throw away from the town centre and its attractions, amenities and nightlife.
The area is further tucked between the Wessex way, neighbouring Talbot Woods and Bournemouth pleasure gardens and maintains its leafy suburban charm.
Local Property
The residential accommodation illustrates the progression of history in Bournemouth with properties dating from Victorian, Edwardian, pre-war and post-war periods. Properties comprise mostly of single family detached houses and converted apartments and provide homes to local families, professionals and mature couples who enjoy the proximity to the town centre.
The exuberant architectural design and tree lined streets combine to present a picture of Victorian grandeur and a reminder of Bournemouth past.

The bricks to build their structures come from DNA, which can self-fold into all sorts of shapes and sizes — all at a scale one thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair — in the hopes of one day revolutionizing computing, electronics and medicine.
Until now, the challenge to advancing nanomedicine has been difficult because scientists wanted to design, build and carefully control nanorobots to actively seek and destroy cancerous tumors — while not harming any healthy cells.
The key to programming a nanorobot that only attacks a cancer cell was to include a special payload on its surface, called a DNA aptamer. The DNA aptamer could specifically target a protein, called nucleolin, that is made in high amounts only on the surface of tumor endothelial cells — and not found on the surface of healthy cells.

Brotherhood is as dangerous as Al Qaeda
The Muslim Brotherhood has rejected secularism, promoted blasphemy laws, and embraced a universal vision of applying Shariah under the government of a supreme caliphate.
By Christiane Waked (Regional Mix)
Published: Mon 12 Aug 2019, 8:51 PM
Last updated: Mon 12 Aug 2019, 10:55 PM
History has shown time and again that chaos follows the footsteps of Muslim Brotherhood.
Their hawkish advocacy of political Islam is dangerous, outdated, and has caused severe damages in countries such as Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc.
Just recently, the Hasm group, which is an armed-wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, carried out a terrorist attack not far from Cairo's main cancer hospital.
According to the Ministry of Health, at least 20 people were killed when a car loaded with explosives crashed into three other vehicles near the cancer institute. The Interior Ministry said the Hasm group was "behind the vehicle preparation" causing the explosion.
The choice of the attack near a hospital shows how ruthless, cruel, and brutal this group can be. There's no empathy whatsoever towards the patients and the victims.
Their main objective is to use terror to achieve political agenda.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi slammed this attack and has promised to "defeat brutal terrorism" and uproot it completely.
This is not the first attack by the Hasm movement. In 2016, the group orchestrated attempts to assassinate former Grand Mufti of Egypt, Ali Gomaa, and a senior assistant to Egypt's top prosecutor, Zakaria Abdel Aziz. The group was responsible for the killing of Ahmed Aboul Foutouh, a local judge in Nasr City, on November 4, 2016.
The Egyptian government seems more determined than ever and is leading the fight against terrorism with an iron fist. Just after the attack, the Egyptian security forces said they killed "17 terrorists" in an operation against suspects who were allegedly involved in the attack.
The Muslim Brotherhood aims to destabilise Egypt's economy at a time when the Egyptian government has been working hard to heal the wounds and get the country back on track. Egypt has suffered for years, and it was only during the 2016-17 fiscal year that the economy began to recover and growth forecasts were projected at 5.3 per cent in 2018. The Egyptian government is now aiming for a 5.6 per cent growth.
Economic stability in Egypt or any other country in the Middle East and Africa is counterproductive to the modus operandi of the group. The Brothers thrive on the helplessness of people, and pervasive poverty. They often target the young from poor ghettos, luring them with healthcare and social facilities for their families in return for their loyalty towards the Brotherhood cause. This is how the group has grown and spread its network in the Middle East.
In 1945, Said Ramadan, son-in-law of the Brotherhood founder, spread the group's reach to Palestine. The local cell fed on the Palestinian suffering to promote the group's ideology in the country and the region. The Muslim Brotherhood envisions a world that agrees with its philosophy and adopts its radical ideology - and that is the biggest threat.
Since its creation, the Muslim Brothers, or Muslim Brotherhood, has rejected secularism, promoted blasphemy laws, and embraced a universal vision of applying Shariah under the government of a supreme caliphate.
From the East to the West, the sleeping cells of the Brotherhood are forever ready to execute orders to rock a country's stability and economy. Last July, the Kuwaiti authorities revealed that they had dismantled a terrorist cell formed by Egyptian nationals who belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood is as dangerous as Al Qaeda and Daesh, if not more as they are the masters of taqiyya, the art of deceiving. Through covert financial means, they have been able to spread their propaganda worldwide. Their preachers sometimes use religion to further their agenda.
This dangerous organisation is well entrenched in many countries, particularly in Europe where they are represented in each European country. They take advantage of the freedom of speech to spread their word and flourish their network.
Their radical ideology operates on the borderline of legality and outside the public sphere but truth is they are nothing but terrorists.

Q: return nothing in select sooo, friday night, best time for practicing :)
I am struggling with this code:
var collection = rows.Skip(skipHeader ? 1 : 0)
    .Select(row =>
    {
        try
        {
            var tnew = new T();
            columns.ForEach(col =>
            {//for simplicity removed some code
                var val = worksheet.Cells[row, col.Column];
                if (col.Property.PropertyType == typeof(double))
                {
                    col.Property.SetValue(tnew, val.GetValue<double>());
                    return;
                }
                col.Property.SetValue(tnew, val.GetValue<string>());
            });

            return tnew;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Could not create object from excel: {e}");
            //return default(T); dont do anything <<=== here i the problem
        }
    }).ToList();

The idea is this generic peace of code reads from excel a row and create new T object. However, if could be possible that there is more data in the row/excel that needs to be (metadata that i don't need).
So basicly I need to check if all goes well. If it goes into the exception, then I know it doesn't fit the modal, so skip that row.
any thoughts?

A: when returning default(T) i got the right object.
Afterwords, before the tolist, I can do a:
.Where(r => !EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(r, default(T)))
so that skips the default initialisations:)

A: I'd recommend encapsulating your logic in a separate function:
public bool TryCreate<T>(YourType row, out T result) where T : class
{
    try
    {
        //set result to a properly initialized object
        return true;
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        result = null; // or default(T) and remove constraint
        return false;
    }
}

and then like in this answer:
var result = rows.Skip(skipHeader ? 1 : 0)
                 .Select(row => new { Success = TryCreateT(row, out var value), value })
                 .Where(pair => pair.Success)
                 .Select(pair => pair.value);

As you commented that you cannot return null you can do one of two: Add to the method a generic constraint of class or use default(T)

It's summertime and the livin' is easy.
Walt Disney has its fair share of notable challenges looming across its divisions. Yes, the U.S. economy is reportedly getting better all the time, but are the improvements enough to help spur the company to enjoy a strong season at its theme parks and resorts?
ESPN remains a growth engine to envy. But what about the broadside threat of News Corp.'s Fox Sports 1 cable channel, which will launch on Aug. 17? Will it open with enough of a splash to take headlines -- and possibly advertising business -- away from The Worldwide Leader in Sports, as ESPN likes to call itself?
And will Walt Disney's movie business remain as strong as iron? Right now, this question appears to be the least of Walt Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger's worries. Iron Man 3 had a sensational domestic opening recently, boasting nearly $175 million. It generated the second-largest opening weekend in history, topped only by The Avengers -- another Walt Disney blockbuster. Iron Man 3 garnered more than $525 million outside the United States.
Walt Disney can also look forward to Thor: The Dark World in November, Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014, and The Avengers 2 in 2015.
Much of Walt Disney's near-term prospects, however, center on its sprawling theme parks business. Iger hinted on the May 7 earnings call that something big might be in the offing: "In addition to the Star Wars feature films that we've already talked about, we're also working on opportunities for television and our parks. It's still very early in the process."
That could be a blockbuster in itself. A generation of nostalgic baby boomers would likely flock to a Star Wars theme park attraction, trying to relive the glorious times that they had following the 1977 release of the first Star Wars film.
In the most recent quarter, Walt Disney reported that its parks and resorts division had a strong three-month period, with revenue up 14% and operating income advancing by 73%. The gain in operating income came as a result of growth in domestic operations, thanks to higher attendance figures and guests spending more money at Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort.
Walt Disney executives had to feel encouraged by the title alone of media analyst Tony Wible's investment report for Janney Capital: "Disney Parks the Mouse's Powerhouse."
At such a time of economic uncertainty as this, Walt Disney will take any theme-park advantage it can get.
It's a good bet that the company will continue to rack up huge box-office results for its Avengers and Iron Man film franchises. In the entertainment industry, nothing quite succeeds like an established winner, and these two movie properties are as close to sure things as you're going to find in up-and-down Hollywood.
As successful as these franchises have been, Wall Street may reach a point eventually where it begins to take the films for granted and almost expect blockbusters every time out. This has more to do with Wall Street's invariable philosophy and mantra of "What have you done for me lately?"
But the theme parks are more quixotic and chancy. A sudden snap of bad weather could depress theme park attendance. A sharp downturn in the economy could keep Americans closer to home. High gas prices, likewise, could discourage families from going cross-country and keep them on staycations.
Walt Disney's theme park business is the joker in the deck because of the higher level of uncertainty than we see at ESPN or in its filmed entertainment division.
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger has routinely received high marks from Wall Street because of his penchant for meeting investors' expectations -- and often outright exceeding them. The way Iger sees it, Walt Disney is holding a strong hand, even with the uncertainty of the theme park business.

Bayern Munich reveals big plans for China
You are here: Home / Latest news / Bayern Munich reveals big plans for China
Tags: FC Bayern Football School Shenzhen, FC Bayern Munich
FC Bayern Munich has unveiled more details of a football school and training centre it is planning to open in the Chinese city of Shenzhen by the end of 2019.
The facility will include a training centre with 16 football pitches, working space for doctors, coaches, classrooms, halls and a boarding house.
The majority of the students that will attend the school are expected to come from the area in and around the metropolis.
The agreement between FC Bayern and the Shenzhen authorities includes agreements on the training and overseeing of coaches, a continued exchange in knowledge and training camps.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and president Uli Hoeness met the partners in the southern Chinese city during the 2017 Audi Summer Tour.
Shenzhen is a city of 17 million inhabitants and China's hi-tec centre. By the end of 2019 the FC Bayern Football School Shenzhen is set to open to roughly 1,000 students.
Since China began its state promotion of football, including a bilateral football treaty with Germany, cities and provinces have been opening up for cooperation. Rummenigge said:
The future is the most important thing that a club or football organisation can promote. What we saw proves to us that football in China, and in particular in Shenzhen, is on the right path.
Our coaches will have a continuous exchange of ideas with them. They will visit here and there are plans for their coaches and players to regularly visit Munich. I am sure that we can help to improve the quality of football in China.
Shenzhen is in the economically important Chinese province of Guangdong. It borders Hong Kong and the average age of city residents is 31.

Q: Any way to distinguish the cases of 0 affected row of MYSQL update? Suppose I have a table named 't'
---------------
| key | value |
---------------
| 1   | abc   |
| 2   | def   |
---------------

Consider two MYSQL queries

*

*UPDATE t SET value='abc' WHERE key=1

*UPDATE t SET value='abc' WHERE key=3
Executing both queries also give the 'affected rows' is 0 (That is, do NOT update any row) because first query is an non-updating update and second is an non-matching update.
Is there any way to distinguish these two cases?

A: if you only want the number of 'matched' rows (and no longer the number of 'changed' rows), you can set CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS as described here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-affected-rows.html

For UPDATE statements, the affected-rows value by default is the
  number of rows actually changed. If you specify the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS
  flag to mysql_real_connect() when connecting to mysqld, the
  affected-rows value is the number of rows "found"; that is, matched by
  the WHERE clause.


Large, folded precompleted tax returns will be history this year. Finnish taxpayers are to receive, for the first time, an A4 printout of their tax information instead of the large pre-completed sheet. If all the information is correct, you do not need to do anything. The Finnish Tax Administration recommends that you use MyTax to make the necessary additions to your tax information. If you complete your tax return on paper, you must, in contrast to earlier years, file your additions on separate forms –you cannot send back the pre-completed tax return which you received by post. The forms must arrive at the Tax Administration by their deadline, so make make sure there is enough time for mail delivery.
Last year, 1.45 million taxpayers made additions to their pre-completed tax return, and 60 % of them did so on the web.
- Earlier, we sent a pre-completed tax return with a return envelope to 5.4 million taxpayers. Last year only 600,000 of them made corrections and additions on paper and used the return envelope. This year, we do not enclose envelopes to tax returns, because the majority of taxpayers will not need them. Anyone filing on paper can have a return envelope by asking for it, says Hilkka Pelander, Senior Adviser at the Tax Administration.
From this year on, anyone wishing to make additions may authorise their relative or a close person to carry out the additions in in MyTax. The authorisation can be made at Suomi.fi/e-Authorizations.
Please remember that the information can only be filed once: if you file information on paper, do not file it in MyTax as well.
The pre-completed tax return shows the information that forms the basis for your taxation. Each pre-completed field also shows what form must be used to add or correct the information. Do not write the additions on the printout. Instead, use separate forms. For example, there are separate forms for travel expenses and tax credits for household expenses.
In addition, do not use forms from earlier tax years, because all forms have been revised in November 2018. We convert all paper forms sent in by taxpayers into electronic format. This is another reason why you should use forms for the right tax year. All details to be filed have now a specific form.
You can print out forms to make additions to your tax return at tax.fi/forms. Another way is to order the necessary forms and a return envelope by calling 029 497 0303 (in Finnish).
The information you enter will be read by optical character recognition. Make sure your entries stay inside each field of the form. Enter your name and personal identity code on each page of the form. Also enter the tax year that your entries concern, in this case the year 2018. Do not staple the paper forms together.
You do not need to send any receipts to the Tax Administration, but you must keep them for six years after the end of the tax year. The Tax Administration may ask you to show the receipts if necessary.
If you send the forms by post, use the address shown on the front page of the form. Alternatively, you can drop the forms off at a local tax office, preferably in an envelope. There is no return envelope enclosed with the pre-completed tax return. You can get it at the local tax office or from the servce number 029 497 030.
The forms must arrive at the Tax Administration on the deadline date at the latest. The deadlines this year are 7 May, 14 May and 21 May. Your own due date for additions is shown on the front page of the pre-completed tax return. If your additions are late, the Tax Administration may impose a late filing penalty of €50. The advantage of e-filing is that in MyTax you can make additions to your tax return as late as on the deadline date.

HOPE Voyages On Land
People Dr. Walsh "Hopies" Milestones
HOPE Milestones
Project HOPE has maintained a special commitment to improving the lives of those who are most vulnerable to the ravages of war, natural disasters and poverty: infants, children and their mothers. This commitment is clearly evident in HOPE's milestones.
The Founding of HOPE
William B. Walsh, M. D. obtained President Dwight Eisenhower's support to refit a Navy hospital vessel to become the world's first peacetime hospital ship, the S.S. HOPE. With funding from the American people and corporations, the S.S. HOPE became a teaching hospital for medical professionals from disadvantaged countries. For fourteen years, the S.S. HOPE made humanitarian voyages to these ports of call: Indonesia (1960), South Vietnam (1961), Peru (1962), Ecuador (1963), Guinea (1964), Nicaragua (1966), Columbia (1967), Sri Lanka (1968), Tunisia (1969), Jamaica (1971), and Brazil (1972 and 1973). The S.S. HOPE retired after 14 years of active duty and Project HOPE becames land-based organization, able to tackle multiple missions simultaneously in several countries.
Establishing a University Teaching Hospital and Nursing School in Peru
HOPE's mission in Peru helped the University of Trujillo establish the first University Hospital and School of Nursing outside the capital of Lima. This effort in the northern region of Peru is the first of many programs that HOPE conducts worldwide to establish and upgrade medical universities and baccalaureate and master's level nursing school programs.
The First U. S. Assignment
At the invitation of the governor's office and the Commissioner of Health of the State of Texas, HOPE began its first program in the United States to improve health care for the Hispanic community in Laredo, Texas, near the border with Mexico. HOPE trained Community Health Assistants to increase access to health care services and established nursing degree programs at Laredo Junior College. On the Navajo Reservation in Gando, Arizona, HOPE helped to develop the first Native American-operated health care system in the United States, which is known today as the Navajo Nation Health Foundation. HOPE graduates from numerous U. S. programs are still on the job in many border neighborhoods in Texas, Arizona, and California, and in New Jersey.
Project HOPE Goes Behind the Iron Curtain
HOPE became the only U. S. private voluntary organization to work behind the Iron Curtain of communism with a program to improve the Polish- American Children's Hospital (PACH) in Krakow and provide medical training for the hospital's staff. In addition to being the country's premier pediatric teaching hospital PACH today serves more than 2.4 million children in Southern Poland and is a referral center for Central and Eastern Europe.
Center for Health Affairs and HEALTH AFFAIRS Journal Established
Responding to pressing health policy needs in the United States, Project HOPE established the Center for Health Affairs to research, analyze, and disseminate information about the state of health care systems in the United States and throughout the world. HEALTH AFFAIRS journal was started as a forum for debating and explaining the increasingly complex changes in health care delivery and management. Both the center and the journal have evolved to provide a respected and independent voice in health policy analysis and dialog.
HOPE Invited to Help China
At the invitation of China's Ministry of Health and university medical centers, Project HOPE became the first private international health organization to make a long-term commitment to improving this vast nation's health care system. HOPE conducted training programs for medical professionals in pediatric care, established China's first master's degree program in nursing and began a preventive dentistry program for children.

Q: How to clear or remove route on Here Maps Android Kotlin I am working on Basic Positioning and Route Navigation(Direction).
I have created one of The NavigateRoute Fragment View.
public class RouteNavigateFragmentView {
private MapFragment m_mapFragment = null;
private Activity m_activity;
private Map m_map;
private MapRoute mapRoute;
private double startLangitude, startLatitude, endLatitude = 18.467373, endLangitude = 73.777706;

public RouteNavigateFragmentView(Activity activity, Double startLat, Double startLang) {
    m_activity = activity;
    /*
     * The map fragment is not required for executing search requests. However in this example,
     * we will put some markers on the map to visualize the location of the search results.
     */
    startLatitude = startLat;
    startLangitude = startLang;

    initMapFragment();

}

private void initMapFragment() {
    /* Locate the mapFragment UI element */
    m_mapFragment = (MapFragment) m_activity.getFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.mapfragment);
    progressBar_cyclic = (ProgressBar) m_activity.findViewById(R.id.progressBar_cyclic);

    if (m_mapFragment != null) {
        /* Initialize the MapFragment, results will be given via the called back. */
        m_mapFragment.init(new OnEngineInitListener() {
            @Override
            public void onEngineInitializationCompleted(OnEngineInitListener.Error error) {
                if (error == Error.NONE) {
                    m_map = m_mapFragment.getMap();
                    m_map.setCenter(new GeoCoordinate(18.467518, 73.777694, 0.0),
                            Map.Animation.NONE);
                    m_map.setZoomLevel(13.2);
                    m_map.getPositionIndicator().setVisible(false);
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(m_activity,
                            "ERROR: Cannot initialize Map with error " + error,
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        });
        getDirections();
    }

}

// Functionality for taps of the "Get Directions" button
public void getDirections() {

    if (m_map != null && mapRoute != null) {
        m_map.removeMapObject(mapRoute);
        mapRoute = null;
    }

    RouteManager routeManager = new RouteManager();

    RoutePlan routePlan = new RoutePlan();

    RouteOptions routeOptions = new RouteOptions();
    routeOptions.setTransportMode(RouteOptions.TransportMode.CAR);
    routeOptions.setRouteType(RouteOptions.Type.FASTEST);
    routePlan.setRouteOptions(routeOptions);
    routePlan.addWaypoint(new GeoCoordinate(startLatitude, startLangitude));
    routePlan.addWaypoint(new GeoCoordinate(endLatitude, endLangitude));

    RouteManager.Error error = routeManager.calculateRoute(routePlan, routeManagerListener);
    if (error != RouteManager.Error.NONE) {
        Toast.makeText(m_activity,
                "Route calculation failed with: " + error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
    }
}

private RouteManager.Listener routeManagerListener = new RouteManager.Listener() {
    public void onCalculateRouteFinished(RouteManager.Error errorCode,
                                         List<RouteResult> result) {

        if (errorCode == RouteManager.Error.NONE && result.get(0).getRoute() != null) {
            // create a map route object and place it on the map
            mapRoute = new MapRoute(result.get(0).getRoute());
            m_map.addMapObject(mapRoute);

            // Get the bounding box containing the route and zoom in (no animation)
            GeoBoundingBox gbb = result.get(0).getRoute().getBoundingBox();
            m_map.zoomTo(gbb, Map.Animation.NONE, Map.MOVE_PRESERVE_ORIENTATION);
        }
    }

    public void onProgress(int percentage) {

    }
 };
}

Suppose I have call this function on two times, Then Map will navigate two route. Also I have used below function,but its not working
if (m_map != null && mapRoute != null) {
        m_map.removeMapObject(mapRoute);
        mapRoute = null;
    }

So How can I clear Route Navigation or Route Manager. I want to display single route at time.
Thank you in advance !

A: In the callback onCalculateRouteFinished check if mapRoute is not null, if so - delete it. Otherwise you lose reference to it and next call m_map.removeMapObject(mapRoute) will not delete old mapRoute object.
So the callback will look something like this:
void onCalculateRouteFinished(Error errorCode, List<RouteResult> result) {
    if (errorCode == NONE && !result.isEmpty()) {
        if (mapRoute != null) m_map.removeMapObject(mapRoute);

        mapRoute = new MapRoute(result.get(0).getRoute());
        m_map.addMapObject(mapRoute);

        // your code here
    }
 }


At Bait Al Zubair Museum in Muscat, Oman, is still exposed the Photography Exhibition "Syria in the Shadow of Memory" by Fadi Masri Zada (opening Ceremony on Tuesday 22/03/2016). The exhibition is a voyage of exploration between the years 1990 -2003. The artist takes us from Palmyra to Busra, Aleppo and Old Damascus. Through the shots of Fadi, we can live deep sensations and emotions: I really can smell the fragrance of jasmines in Old Damascus, hear church bells and minaret's call to prayer.

Costain Project Receives Engineering Excellence Award
The skills of Costain and a member of its supply chain, in remedying one of the most high-profile engineering failures of the past decade, have been recognised by the industry.
The Association of Consulting Engineers (ACE) has awarded the Gerrards Cross project the top prize in the 'infrastructure (large firm)' category at its annual awards in London.
The Award is given for engineering excellence displayed in construction projects, allied to other factors such as original design work, successful delivery to time and budget and creating future value beyond what would normally be expected from a project.
Costain became involved in the project after the headline-making collapse of a tunnel on to the live Marylebone to Birmingham rail line at Gerrard's Cross, Buckinghamshire in July 2005. A retail store was due to be built on top of the completed tunnel structure.
Costain appointed URS Scott Wilson early in the process and they worked closely together to solve the engineering challenges that the scheme presented.
One challenge was the design and engineering involved in taking over a partly-built structure created by a third party. Around 220 metres of the 320-metre-long tunnel was retained but it was all strengthened and partly rebuilt to a new design created by URS Scott Wilson.
"We took over and re-engineered the tunnel to give a fully compliant and totally robust solution," said Costain's Project Director, Martin Baughurst. The integrated team of Costain, URS Scott Wilson and the complete supply chain worked together ensuring that the scheme was delivered safely, to programme, budget and to the client's full satisfaction.


Never fear, the Empire is here.
Thought it was cool looking enough to post.
Thought I'd show you guys what I got for the mini to display.
Its just called a desk spindle. Bought it at Office Max for $1.99. They also come in black. Anyway figured someone may be interested in displaying their mini, and this is just one idea. Hope you enjoy it.
For those who are apprehensive about painting their SFS mini helmets, here are a few tips to how to paint them well and keep most if not all the tiny surface details. The key is not to cover anything, so there are specific ways to accomplish a consistent color application and making it thin enough to allow small surface deviations to show.
The trick is to apply the paint thinly and here are a few ways, depending on whether you want to airbrush the piece or have to paint it by hand with brushes. I will start with the simple airbrush version first – this one can also apply to spray paints, but be VERY careful with those, as they tend to apply the paint way too thick, so really isn't recommended.
The Simple Air Brush Version – basic white and normal detailing – no HDPE color, etc, showing.
1: Wash the helmet thoroughly with water and dishwashing soap – just the normal kind – to get any residue from the casting and dirt, etc. off the cast. Then let it dry. This step is important, especially with a piece with lots of surface details, where you want to preserve them and only them.
2: Find a good matt white primer. One that covers well, but stays thin. MIST it onto the helmet, as lightly as you can. DO NOT worry about making it cover the helmet in this first go. When misting, you could need a second layer and instead of putting on too much paint in the first layer to get it to cover everything, just mist it once and let it dry before applying a possible second layer.
3: Gloss clearcoat (or semi-gloss if you don't want it too shiny) the whole helmet. This seals the white and makes it easier to fix mistakes when painting the detailing.
4: Very carefully paint in the black brow – seeing as that is supposed to represent rubber, you could go with regular semi-gloss black – or, if you can find a color that specifically says rubber black, that could be a better choice.
5: Now, regarding the frown, traps and vocoder... it is up to you whether you want to paint the black or the grey first. I really can't help you there, except to say keep a steady hand and get the best thin brush you can find – DO NOT skimp on the cost as quality matters.
-	You could also just use decals.
The Advanced Air Brush Version – all detailing showing.
1: same as the before.
2: Depending on the cast, it is uncertain whether primer is needed here, but if you do decide to use it, go for light grey – or possibly even the primer red that was used on the originals. Again... the trick is not to overspray and try to cover the helmet in a consistent layer all at once. Take your time and mist it on, very carefully, and again, don't worry about the coverage – you just want a thin layer for the other paint to grip on, so less is more.
3: Find the best color representing the lightest version of the HDPE color we know from the authentic found helmets. You are looking for a pale grey/green color. The color, as is, is applied to the back and cap, as that's how the original SFS is made. You have to mask the face area, as you want to apply as little paint to areas as possible. Then you add a drop or two of black to darken the color a bit. DO NOT overdo it – even though you don't notice a difference, it will be visible when you paint the face part. Again, mask off the back and cap and ears. Only leave the areas that needs to be painted unmasked. You have to mist on both colors to preserve as much detail as possible.
4: This is the bit where you need all the reference you can get of the original SFS helmet, as you want to be accurate. This requires masking fluid and proper brushes to apply it – I would not recommend regular brushes, but instead rubber tipped brushes, as the masking fluid will destroy your fine brushes. Keep a steady hand and try to follow the reference as much as possible, making out what is HDPE color (the areas you want to mask) and what is simply dirt and other scratches. Go about it methodically, as you can easily lose track of where you've applied the masking fluid and where it's still needed. I do not envy you this part, as it will be stressful and time consuming, but will make the end result so much better, if done well and with great care.
5: Then it is time for the application of white. You also need to mask the ears for this part – you may scratch your head now, but bear with me. Basically you can go two ways primer or matt white with clear coat afterwards, or... go full gloss. This should basically be the paint you'd use to paint your full scale helmet. It is still important to mist layers on. Once that has dried you peel off the masking fluid and hopefully it looks awesome... I have faith it will.
6: Paint the brow, traps, vocoder with their respective paints. If you are very skilled, you can mask off and airbrush the colors on. Otherwise, just use a brush.
7: Paint the ears with a paint that is representative of the gloss white ABS.
8: try to replicate as many of the additional scratches and details found on the original helmet, to give it life and make it more authentic. Since this is small scale... you do not want to go extreme with the weathering... just hint at it more than faithfully replicating every single scratch, dent and paint details. Use dark browns instead of black, as the pure black will be too extreme. Keep everything in matt colors.
The Simple and Advanced Version can also be done by brush, but you have to apply the paint in very thin layers, almost like drybrushing, as you really want to keep the paint from building up in the details and recesses. Patience is required and depending on the method used you can accomplish a very fine scaled replica that will preserve the coolness of the printed details from the original full sized helmet.
Well, there is a new run up on the RPF or for anyone who's interested.
Are there any plans to offer any more of these at all ?
RS Props owns the SFS mini and will handle any future sales.
I'm securing the permission to do a sixth scale print along with my already permitted scanned RotJ trooper helmet.
I'd love to see a 1/6 scaled print. I like the Marmit helmet better than the Sideshow but getting a scaled accurately proportioned helmet would be a definate improvement !
There may be some new updates soon.
Until then I thought I'd post the 2-day paint test the moldmaker did on one of the full scale helmets. It was cast in a grey/green HDPE/PP color and then painted.
I know the grey color is wrong - he just used the paint he had at hand - and the lines in the traps and back are painted a tad too thick. He's mentioned he'd probably repaint much of it later and get things accurate.
Bu still... even with my super slow approach I doubt I'll be able to paint mine as good as this 2-day quickie paint job. Curse my lousy mediocre skills.
Something more. The mold maker has been working on a 4-piece version with some refinements, such as at the eyes to remove the gonk (will be done before molding) and sanding down the gonk on the tube stripes, so they are smooth and sit flatter to the tube surface. He has also done a cast from the SFS brow trim in rubber - not pictured yet. He also sculpted the top part of the face mask back in based on reference that is hidden under the back'n'cap.
If anyone experience anything when clicking my thumbnails please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
