Pharmacogenomic testing, also known as medication response testing, identifies how genes affect a person's response to drugs. It combines pharmacology (the science of drugs) with genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to help determine how a patient may respond to certain medications. Doctors can use this information to help guide their prescription decisions, which may lead to safer and more effective medications and doses tailored to a person's genetic makeup. Learn more about PHARMACOGENOMICS.
Medications affect everyone differently. Some people metabolize drugs more quickly and others much more slowly, resulting in different responses to medications. This creates a challenge for doctors when trying to choose the right medication and dose for each patient. In addition, some individuals may have mild to severe side effects from medications. The OneOme RightMed comprehensive test informs your doctor on how your body may respond to medications, which may help them to make more informed prescription decisions.
Will this test tell me all the information I need to know about which medications will work for me?
The RightMed test is not the "end all be all" answer. There are other factors that contribute to how you may respond to a medication aside from genetics (e.g., allergic reaction, immune response, intolerance to inactive ingredients, health factors, drug-drug interactions, environmental factors, other medical conditions, etc.). Administration of any medication requires careful therapeutic monitoring by a qualified healthcare professional. Your doctor remains ultimately responsible for all of your diagnosis and treatment decisions.
What is the difference between this test and other genetic tests (e.g., 23andme)?
The OneOme RightMed comprehensive test is a doctor-ordered pharmacogenomic test intended to help you and your healthcare provider understand how you may respond to certain medications based on your genetics. The RightMed test is a laboratory-developed test that was created and is continuously updated, based on rigorous scientific research and high clinical standards. It does not cover results for ancestry, cosmetic features, or similar information that may be provided by certain direct-to-consumer tests. Although the RightMed test is not intended to diagnose any hereditary disease or disease risk, OneOme will report secondary findings for certain genetic results that you and your doctor may wish to discuss.
How will my doctor use the information provided by the OneOme RightMed test?
The actionable reports that OneOme provides to your doctor may help him/her to better select which medications to prescribe. Since your DNA does not change, the test results can be used by your doctors for medication decisions for years to come.
How can I get the RightMed comprehensive test?
You can buy the test online. Fill out this form to buy your test. A physician from an independent network will review your information and order the test for you, if appropriate (U.S. only; eligibility restrictions may apply). LEARN MORE about this option.
You can get the test from your doctor. Download our PATIENT TOOLKIT to get familiar with the test. Then bring the provider materials and order form from this toolkit to your next doctor appointment to discuss whether the test is right for you.
What is included in the cost of the RightMed comprehensive test?
When ordered by your doctor, the cost of the RightMed test includes sample collection (through either a cheek swab kit that can be mailed to your home or performed at your doctor's office, or a blood sample), pharmacogenomic testing services, data analysis, clinical interpretation, the RightMed comprehensive test report, and several reporting options for your doctor.
Where is the RightMed comprehensive test available?
When ordered by your doctor, OneOme offers its RightMed comprehensive test in all U.S. states and in select international locations.
When you purchase the test online, the test and provider services are only available to individuals in the United States.
For more information on availability within your area, please CONTACT US.
Do I need to be retested if I change doctors or go to a different type of doctor?
No. Your genetic information does not change, so once you and your doctor(s) have the test results, the information can be used for years to come.
What is OneOme's cancellation policy?
How do I purchase a RightMed test online (ordered through the independent provider network) and how does it work?
You can learn about this option and purchase your RightMed test on our BUY A TEST page. This option is only available in the U.S. only and other eligibility restrictions may apply.
Fill out THIS FORM to purchase the test.
Once your sample is processed and your results are ready, you will be contacted to schedule a 30-minute phone session with a board-certified genetic counselor to receive and discuss your results.
Note: You can purchase the test for yourself or your child/dependent, or you can purchase it as a gift for someone else.
The cost is $349, which includes the RightMed test and provider services (independent physician review and a consult with a genetic counselor to review your results). It can be paid for with a credit card, health saving account (HSA) card, or PayPal.
Am I eligible to receive a RightMed test with provider services?
Who provides the independent provider services and how do I contact them?
The independent provider services, including the physician review and the genetic counselor consult, are provided by PWN. You can reach them by calling 888-494-7333.
Will the MTHFR gene be included with my results when I purchase the test online?
No, MTHFR is not available when you purchase the test online directly from OneOme.
The MTHFR gene will only be included with your results if your doctor orders the test for you and specifically opts to receive the MTHFR report with your results. In this case, MTHFR results will be provided at no additional cost and will be presented on a separate report. Note: there are no medications on the RightMed test that are classified based on your MTHFR gene; doctors will receive analytical results only.
What is a genetic counselor and what is covered during the genetic counselor consult?
Genetic counselors are healthcare professionals with specialized training in medical genetics and counseling. They help patients understand how genetics plays a role in their health.
During your consult, the genetic counselor will explain what pharmacogenomic testing is, review your results with you, and answer any questions you have.
Will any changes be made to my prescriptions through this service?
No. Neither OneOme nor PWN (the independent provider network) can provide medical advice or make changes to your medication regimen. Your own doctor or healthcare provider is best suited to make prescription changes for you if they are needed. You will receive a copy of your RightMed comprehensive test report to share with your doctors. Your doctors can then incorporate the results into your care. Do not make any changes to your medications without consulting your doctor.
Once you've purchased a RightMed test, OneOme will ship out a DNA sample collection via two-day shipping within 1-2 business days. After you activate and send back your kit, your results will be ready within 9-12 business days (approximately two weeks) of OneOme receiving your sample (for individuals in New York, your results will be ready within 14-17 business days). At that time, you'll receive an email to schedule a consult with a genetic counselor to discuss your results. You'll receive your results electronically once your consult has been scheduled.
Can I purchase the RightMed test for my child or dependent?
Yes. PURCHASE A TEST and, once you have received the kit, provide the child/dependent's information during the activation step.
How can I purchase the RightMed test for someone else as a gift?
Fill out this form to buy the test. You will be able to choose whether we send the gifted kit to you or directly to the gift recipient. You can even buy multiple kits as gifts and have them shipped to you to distribute however you choose.
Can OneOme send a test kit to a P.O. box?
Yes, OneOme can ship test kits to P.O. boxes in most states and U.S. territories.
When will my OneOme kit arrive?
Once your kit has been shipped, you will receive an email with a tracking number so you can monitor the arrival date. If your kit does not arrive within 7 days, please CONTACT US, and we will address this right away.
Contact us, and we will work with you to address this issue.
How do I provide my sample?
The kit you will receive to collect your sample includes simple, step-by-step instructions on how to complete the simple cheek swab. You can also watch a demonstration video showing you how to provide your sample.
What should I do if I make a mistake when providing my sample?
Contact us to let us know what happened when providing your sample. We can discuss options and next steps.
We encourage you to send in your sample as soon as you have activated your kit. This will ensure that your test results are returned as quickly as possible.
If collecting your sample at home, it is important to activate your kit online before mailing back your sample to OneOme. Activation is required before we can process your sample at the OneOme lab. You will need the barcode number located on the tube to activate your kit.
What should I do if I forgot to activate my kit before mailing it back to OneOme?
If you collected your sample at home, your kit must be activated before we can begin processing your sample in the OneOme lab. Please contact us to activate your kit. If we receive your sample and it has not been activated we will contact you to complete the activation step.
I have a "regenerated" report that looks different than my "original" report. Why has my report changed?
Although your genetic information does not change, what we know about it (how we interpret it) may change. OneOme routinely updates its database as new information about pharmacogenomics becomes available to the scientific community. A "regenerated" report is one that contains updated information based on what we've learned since the original report was generated. The "original" report still remains on file with us.
We encourage you to contact your doctor to discuss any updated information in your regenerated report. As always, do not make any changes to your medications or treatment plan without first talking to your doctor.
If additional genes are added to the test, are they also added to my results?
While infrequent, OneOme sometimes adds new genes to the RightMed test. If you or your doctor would like these additional genes or alleles to be added to your results, you must be tested again.
If additional medications are added to the test, are they also added to my results?
OneOme regularly adds new medications to the RightMed test. OneOme automatically regenerates your report at no extra cost to include new medications, assuming the genes and alleles associated with the medications were on our panel when you were tested.
If, however, the genes or alleles associated with the new medications were not on our panel when you were tested, they will not be included on regenerated reports. If you or your doctor would like these newly added medications to be added to your results, you must be tested again.
How much does the RightMed comprehensive test cost?
OneOme offers a few different payment options depending upon how the test was ordered. For more information visit our BILLING INFORMATION.
Patient self-pay price (U.S. only): The cost is $349 when paid directly by the patient and not billed to insurance.
Insurance billed price (U.S. only): If you choose to bill the cost of the RightMed test to your private insurance plan, OneOme will first check if you're eligible for our Financial Assistance Program (FAP). If you're eligible for our FAP, the test will cost $349 or less. If you're not eligible for our FAP, the patient self-pay price of $349 will likely be a lower cost to you than the insurance billing option. In this case, OneOme will reach out to you to offer the option of paying the patient self-pay price rather than billing the cost of the test to your plan (which could exceed $349).
Institutional billed price: For all patients outside the U.S., and any patient in the U.S. not using patient self-pay or insurance billing, pricing is determined by the healthcare institution from which you receive the test.
The cost is $349, which includes the test plus the services provided by an independent provider network. The services include the ordering of the test and a consult with a board-certified genetic counselor to review your results. Insurance billing is not available.
OneOme accepts payment from all major credit cards, health savings accounts (HSAs), and PayPal.
Are OneOme's tests covered by private insurance?
When ordered by your doctor, OneOme tests are reimbursed by some private insurance plans within the U.S.
Our goal is to allow you to access the lowest estimated payment option available. For RightMed tests ordered by your doctor where private insurance billing is selected, OneOme will first check if you're eligible for our Financial Assistance Program (FAP). To be eligible, you must have private insurance and your household income must be equal to or less than 600 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.
If you're eligible for our FAP, the test will cost $349 or less. If you're not eligible for our FAP, the patient self-pay price of $349 will likely be a lower cost to you than the insurance billing option. In this case, OneOme will reach out to you to offer the option of paying the patient self-pay price rather than billing the cost of the test to your plan (which could exceed $349). Refer to OneOme's BILLING PAGE to find the cost breakdown of the RightMed test under OneOme's FAP, based on household size and income.
Note: Insurance billing is not available for tests purchased online.
I'm on Medicaid, Medicare or TRICARE; what are my options?
OneOme accepts all Medicare and Medicaid plans, Managed Medicaid Plans, and TRICARE. If you have a traditional Medicare/Medicaid plan, Managed Medicaid Plan, or TRICARE, your cost will be $0. Medicare Advantage Plans may have a copayment or deductible requirement.
What information do I need to provide for you to bill insurance?
You will need to provide your doctor with both sides of your insurance card(s), your member ID number, your group number, and your relationship to the primary policyholder. Some insurance companies may also require additional authorization forms or other documentation.
Can the payment option be changed once the order is placed?
In most cases OneOme can change the payment option for an order up until the report has been sent to the ordering healthcare provider.
Can I use my health savings account (HSA) to pay for the test?
Yes, HSAs can be used to pay for tests via the patient self-pay option or when paying a balance from insurance billing.
Why did I receive an invoice for charges (partial or total) after my insurance was verified and preauthorization was obtained?
Preauthorization does not guarantee payment. Insurance companies determine how much they will pay and what charges will be billed to the patient after a medical claim is filed. The patient is responsible for any portion of the test fee not covered by the insurance company for any reason including, but not limited to, copayments, co-insurance, unmet deductibles, or non-covered services.
Note: The patient is responsible for remitting any funds received directly from the insurance company to OneOme.
What is OneOme's refund policy?
If OneOme has not yet received your sample and you decide that you no longer want the test, you can receive a refund on the purchasing card. We are unable to process a refund once our lab has received your sample and the processing has begun.
What risks to my privacy does getting a genetic test pose?
In addition, the genome itself is a unique identifier for you — no one else has the same one as you. While there are clear clinical benefits to genetic testing, it also introduces new risks to patient privacy, and patients are potentially vulnerable to the misuse of their genetic information. While there are laws that protect patients from health insurance companies and employers using genetic information to discriminate against them, there are still concerns about the use of genetic information to discriminate against applicants for life and disability insurance. For this reason, it's important that you only work with companies that are committed to safeguarding your genetic information.
How does OneOme protect my information?
What laws exist that protect my information?
Laws and policies have been developed and passed to protect the privacy and security of your genomic information. In 2008, Congress passed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) to restrict health insurance companies and employers from accessing an individual's genetic information, as well as to prohibit genetic discrimination. The passage of GINA makes it illegal for health insurers or employers to request or require genetic information of an individual or of any family members. Additionally, some states have even more comprehensive laws than GINA. Learn more about GINA.
In addition to GINA, there is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HIPAA protects patient privacy by restricting the sharing of your medical information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes protections to maintain the confidentiality of patients' individually identifiable health information. This information is called Protected Health Information (PHI) and includes things like your name, address, and social security number. There are limits on when and with whom OneOme may share PHI. To learn more go to ONEOME NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES.
What information does OneOme report to my doctor?
The primary focus of the OneOme RightMed comprehensive test is to provide your doctor with information on how your DNA may affect your response to drugs. OneOme's tests are not intended to provide information about disease predisposition, paternal status, ethnicity, hereditary, or ancestry information. However, OneOme will report secondary findings for certain genetic results so that you have an opportunity to discuss these additional findings with your doctor. To learn more about this, please consult our TERMS OF SERVICE.
What does OneOme do with my DNA sample once the report is sent to my doctor?
OneOme keeps your DNA sample for up to 60 days from the date your report is released to your doctor. This is for the purpose of quality assurance and in case your doctor orders follow up testing.
Does OneOme sell personal information or genetic data?
GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (passed in 2008), prohibits medical insurance companies and employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of genetic information, including the OneOme RightMed PGx test results.
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, governs how protected health information (PHI) is used, processed, transmitted and/or maintained. OneOme's website, portal, and systems are compliant with HIPAA requirements, which means that all patient-specific information is encrypted and safe. Patient information is only made available to individuals who require access to perform the OneOme test, provide services, and generate the results.

'Devs' Trailer: Alex Garland's New Tech Thriller Looks Like Must-See TV
Posted on Thursday, January 9th, 2020 by Ben Pearson
As far as I'm concerned, Alex Garland is two for two as a director so far. Both Ex Machina and Annihilation are fantastic, challenging, mesmerizing movies, so I'm naturally very excited to see what he does with Devs, his tech thriller TV series which debuts in a couple of months. And I'm even more excited about the show after seeing its first full trailer, which FX released online today. Check it out below to remind you how badly you've needed some Nick Offerman in your life.
Devs Trailer
Devs is an eight-episode sci-fi series which stars Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Jin Ha (Jesus Christ Superstar Live), Zach Grenier (Fight Club), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences), Cailee Spaeny (Pacific Rim Uprising), and Alison Pill (Snowpiercer).
"[Devs is] a sort of science fiction," Garland previously said about the series, "but it's a much more technology based sci-fi whereas Annihilation is a more hallucinogenic form of sci-fi and more fantastical form of sci-fi. This is slightly more in common with projects I've worked on like Ex Machina or Never Let Me Go, which are taking something about our world now – not our world in the future, but our world as it is right now – and then drawing sort of inferences and conclusions from it."
/Film attended a New York Comic-Con panel last year where Garland spoke even more about the show. He said he was "really interested to know what it would be like to have eight hours to tell a story rather than two", and how he was "sick" of making movies at the time. "On a personal level, I thought, 'Maybe television is a better home for me.' I was sick of it. There's something about the concept of cinema and box office weekends and I thought, 'Maybe this isn't for me.'" While I hope he returns to making movies one day, I can't deny that I'm super excited to see what he does here with a different set of storytelling confines.
Here's the show's official synopsis:
Devs follows the story of a young software engineer, Lily Chan, who investigates the secretive development division of her employer which she believes is behind her boyfriend's murder.
Devs premieres on March 5, 2020 exclusively on FX on Hulu, a new digital hub on Hulu which will be the home for some new shows as well as more than 40 previous and current FX series.

Council says no to public funding for Grove traffic mitigation
City Council on Thursday shot down a plan to explore using public money to mitigate any neighborhood traffic impacts from the Grove at Shoal Creek, a bitterly divisive planned unit development proposed for West 45th Street and Bull Creek Road.
Council Member Sheri Gallo's resolution would have directed city staff to look into the creation of a Bull Creek Road Local Traffic Impact Fund to pay for infrastructure beyond the boundaries of the proposed PUD.
The resolution identified a number of potential sources of money for the fund, including existing bond money, certificates of obligation and the increased tax revenue generated by the development.
"We fund our transportation department less and less as a percentage of the budget each year," Gallo, whose District 10 includes the site of the Grove, told her colleagues. "So the money is really hard to find to do this."
Gallo stressed that the fund would be deployed in addition to money pledged by the developer, ARG Bull Creek Ltd., for traffic mitigation projects. Its scope would have also been much larger, expanding beyond the boundaries of the 75-acre field formerly owned by the state of Texas. The area of study would have included everything roughly surrounded by MoPac Expressway, Hancock Drive, Burnet Road and West 35th Street.
In some respects, Gallo's proposal was similar to the Austin Transportation Department's local area traffic management programs. However, those initiatives are not created by Council but rather doled out by the Transportation Department to neighborhoods whose residents request them. The department then goes through a lengthy approval process that includes community meetings and initial studies.
Council Member Ann Kitchen seconded Gallo's resolution, pointing to its potential as an innovative approach. "I just want to go through this exercise because it's really important to try to think about all the tools that might be available to us to address traffic impacts," said Kitchen.
However, Council Member Leslie Pool, who has been a vociferous opponent of ARG Bull Creek's proposal since before she ran for office, cited the local area traffic management program process and said Gallo's proposal was "redundant."
Pool also disputed Gallo's claim that the proposal was drafted in response to a similar request made in June by the Bull Creek Road Coalition, the group founded by Pool prior to her elevation to City Council to oppose ARG Bull Creek's plans for the Grove.
Pool explained that she had spoken to BCRC's president earlier in the week and learned that the group had not taken a position on Gallo's proposal. Furthermore, Pool said BCRC had originally proposed that revenues from sales or alcohol taxes be used to fund traffic impact mitigation efforts, not property taxes.
The District 7 representative also warned that Council's dedication of money to traffic projects in a specific area in order to mitigate the impacts of development would set a precedent that could lead to future balkanization of transportation spending.
"Once we do it once, we have to do it elsewhere," Pool predicted.
Ultimately Council rejected the proposal on a 7-3 vote, with only Gallo, Kitchen and Council Member Don Zimmerman voting for the proposal.

Former Sebelius aide running for Congress in Kansas 2nd
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A one-time speechwriter for former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius says she will begin a campaign on Tuesday for an eastern Kansas congressional seat.
The Kansas City Star reports that Democrat Abbie Hodgson will seek the party's nomination to challenge freshman GOP Rep. Steve Watkins in Kansas' 2nd Congressional District, which includes Lawrence, Topeka and Leavenworth.
The 37-year-old Hodgson is a former Kansas House Democratic staff member who has spent the past two years working in Washington, D.C., for Pew Charitable Trusts. She has moved back to Kansas and says she will step down from her position with Pew's State Strategy Group.
Hodgson in 2017 criticized the treatment of women in the Statehouse and revealed that lawmakers relied on underage interns as designated drivers following lobbyist-hosted cocktail hours. Her disclosures were among the events that spurred efforts to reform the Legislature's sexual harassment policies.
Hodgson, who grew up in Manhattan, Kansas, said her campaign will focus on health care, agriculture, trade policy and the financial well-being of Kansans.
"When I talk to voters when I walk down Kansas main streets you don't get that sense of optimism from people," she said. "They don't feel like they have enough money in their savings accounts to weather a crisis."
The 2nd District has not elected a Democrat since 2006 and is not currently considered a 2020 target for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Hodgson said she has met with EMILY's List, a national group dedicated to electing Democratic women. The organization hasn't made an endorsement, but spokesman Benjamin Ray said the group is "excited to see a strong candidate like Abbie Hodgson step up."
Watkins' spokesman Jim Joice said EMILY's List promotes an "out-of-touch radical agenda."
The 42-year-old Watkins defeated former state legislative leader and former candidate for governor Paul Davis last year.


Scottish folk pioneers Lau release their new album 'Midnight And Closedown' their first new music since 2015's 'The Bell That Never Rang'. Lau have pushed at the boundaries of modern folk music with each successive release, curation and concert tour. And now comes this bold, progressive new statement. The enigmatic album title could suggest that the new album is Lau's swansong. But Midnight and Closedown, Lau's finest artistic statement to date, could equally prove to be the opening of a brave new chapter.
Producer John Parish, widely celebrated for his recordings and collaborations with P.J Harvey, Eels, Sparklehorse, This Is The Kit, Aldous Harding, Rokia Traore, M. Ward, Giant Sand and many more, has captured the essence of Lau's songwriting: tender, bewitching and mournful, uplifting, experimental and political. These are new sounds still rooted in the traditional music that brought together the UK's three finest folk artists.
"Lau. Cool band. Don't sound like anybody else. I could describe the instrumentation : treated fiddle, guitar and rich baritone voice, an electronic ship in a bottle. A beautiful set of songs and instrumentals. In touch with their roots but not bound by them". - John Parish, October 2018.

Dominee Gerrit Taverne (Den Haag, 1903 - Hoogeveen, 1998) was een ultraconservatieve predikant, die in 1954 de Presbyteriaal Hervormde Classis Nederland der Ene Heilige Katholieke Kerk stichtte.
Na de lagere school werkte Gerrit Taverne op een 'klein kantoortje' en daarna drie-en-een-half jaar  op het kantoor van De Nederlander. Vervolgens werkte hij 26 jaar op het kantoor van de Twentsche Bank in Den Haag. In zijn vrije tijd studeerde hij eerst voor het Staatsexamen A en daarna theologie. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, in 1946, nam hij ontslag bij de Twentsche Bank en begon hij zijn loopbaan als predikant bij de Nederlands Hervormde Kerk in Ten Boer waar hij tussen 1946 en 1948 predikant was. Daarna was hij drie jaar predikant in Minnertsga. In 1951 werd hij predikant in Hoogeveen.

In Hoogeveen ontstonden al snel problemen tussen Taverne en het kerkbestuur. Bemiddelingspogingen lukten niet, waarop Taverne in augustus 1953 door de 'Commissie voor het opzicht uit de provinciale kerkvergadering van Drenthe' voorlopig werd geschorst als Nederlands Hervormd predikant. Deze schorsing was een gevolg van 'enkele bezwaren' die tegen Taverne waren geuit. Officieel is niet bekendgemaakt welke bezwaren het precies betrof. Maar een belangrijke reden was dat Taverne zich verzette tegen de Nieuwe Kerkorde uit 1951, omdat hij deze veel te modern vond. Ook was de hervormde kerkenraad in conflict geraakt met de gemeenteleden omdat zij de verkiezing van kerkenraadsleden in handen van een kiescollege hield en niet in die van de gemeenteleden zelf.

Taverne stichtte vrijwel direct de Presbyteriaal Hervormde Gemeenten, samen met twee van de Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk in het vlak bij Hoogeveen gelegen Nieuweroord afgesplitste evangelisatieposten in Nieuw Balinge en Tiendeveen. De Nederduits Gereformeerde Gemeente, een vrije gemeente in Gouda, sloot zich aan bij de  Presbyteriaal Hervormde Gemeenten. In die plaats werd ook een theologische opleiding opgericht met zes studenten. Op 1 januari 1954 werd Taverne door de Generale Synode van de Nederlands Hervormde Kerk definitief losgemaakt van zijn standplaats Hoogeveen en mocht hij een jaar lang geen andere functie binnen de Nederlands Hervormde Kerk vervullen.

Al snel vielen de Presbyteriaal Hervormde Gemeenten uit elkaar: Nieuw Balinge en Tiendeveen, en korte tijd later ook Gouda scheidden zich af van deze nieuwe kerk. Taverne bleef alleen over met zijn kerken in Hoogeveen en Hollandscheveld.

Taverne was fel anti-rooms katholiek. In november 1967 werd hij landelijk bekend toen hij een eucharistieviering in de hervormde Grote Kerk in Den Haag ter gelegenheid van het 50-jarig bestaan van de katholieke St. Aloysiuscollege verstoorde. Taverne liep tijdens de viering naar voren, wierp enkele brandende kaarsen van de avondsmaaltafel de kerk in en beklom de kansel. Hier las een tekst voor uit de Heidelbergse catechismus waarin de rooms-katholieke mis vervloekte afgoderij werd genoemd. Medestanders van hem deelden pamfletten die Taverne de week voorafgaand had geschreven uit aan de 1500 katholieke aanwezigen.

Op 31 mei 1970 vond in Dedemsvaart een vergelijkbaar incident plaats. De rooms-katholieke Sint-Vitusparochie mocht haar 150-jarig bestaan vieren in de Hervormde Kerk van Dedemsvaart omdat de eigen kerk te klein was. Met ongeveer twintig aanhangers blokkeerde Taverne met auto's de ingang van de kerk, ondertussen luid het  het Lutherlied zingend. De katholieke kerkgangers konden enkel onder politiebegeleiding de kerk betreden. Taverne wist zich met enkele medestanders hiertussen te mengen en betrad ook de kerk. Voorafgaand aan de dienst, die geleid werd door kardinaal Alfrink, liep een van de demonstranten naar voren en begon een psalm te zingen en de kaarsen om te gooien. Al snel vielen er klappen en de aanwezige demonstranten werden daarop met geweld de kerk uit gewerkt. Toen de demonstranten later op de markt van Dedemsvaart ook slaags raakten met omstanders werden Taverne en zijn aanhangers onder politiebegeleiding het dorp uit gereden.

Dominee Taverne had vier kinderen. Een van zijn dochters overleed op 12-jarige leeftijd. Beide zoons studeerden theologie. Een van zijn zoons kwam in 1981 met zijn vrouw en drie kinderen bij een ongeluk in België om het leven. Hij woonde in België om te evangeliseren. Zijn andere zoon, dominee Gerrit Taverne jr. werd ook predikant in de Presbyteriaal Hervormde Gemeenten.

After completing wave (B) in the form of zigzag pattern, the price formed a rising wedge pattern in wave 1. We may assume that the second wave has also been completed, and at the moment the market is growing in the third one. The price got very close to the local maximum, and may break it in the nearest future.
More detailed wave markings are shown on the H1 chart. It looks like the price, after completing zigzag pattern in wave 2, started the formation of an initial rising impulse inside the third one. During the day the market may continue growing while forming wave .
The EUR/USD currency pair keeps being very unstable, and just can't "decide" which direction to move. It looks like the price is forming horizontal triangle pattern in wave [B]. If this assumption is correct, the market may start the formation of wave (E) inside this pattern. In the future, after the pair rebounds from the triangle's upper border, the price will start falling down in wave [C].
The structure of the above-mentioned triangle is shown on the H1 chart. Most likely, the price will make one last rapid movement upwards, and then start falling down. If the price reaches a new local minimum, the triangle scenario will be cancelled and the pair will start moving downwards immediately.

Application of a STUDENT WITH A DISABILITY, by his parent, for review of a determination of a hearing officer relating to the provision of educational services by the New York City Department of Education
Judy Nathan, Interim Acting General Counsel, attorneys for respondent, by Brian J. Reimels, Esq.
This proceeding arises under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1482) and Article 89 of the New York State Education Law. Petitioner (the parent) appeals from the decision of an impartial hearing officer (IHO) which dismissed her due process complaint notice challenging the special education and related services offered by respondent (the district) for her son during the 2019-20 school year. The appeal must be sustained.
Due to the procedural posture of this appeal, the hearing record in this matter is very sparse. According to a July 20, 2020 due process complaint notice filed by the parent, the student in this appeal attended a nonapproved, nonpublic school (NPS) where he received special education and related services through the district (see Due Process Compl. Notice at p. 1). The student is the subject of a prior due process proceeding, which appears to have yet to be adjudicated (id. at p. 1). According to the parent, a privately-obtained neuropsychological evaluation of the student was conducted in 2017 in which the neuropsychologist offered the following diagnoses: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – inattentive type with associated executive function challenges; learning disorder - reading disorder and disorder of written expression; generalized anxiety disorder; and developmental coordination disorder (id. at p. 3). The parent alleged that after requesting the continuation of special education services in May 2019, the CSE recommended integrated co-teaching services for all subjects, and related services of speech-language language therapy, occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT), three times weekly for 30 minute sessions – each during the school day, testing accommodations, and a 30 minute counseling session weekly during the school day (id. at pp. 3-4). In her due process complaint notice, the parent asserted that the district failed to offer the student a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for the 2019-20 school year because, among other things, the CSE refused to incorporate the 2017 recommendations of the neuropsychologist and instead offered the same services recommendations in the IEP as in past school years (Due Process Compl. Notice at pp. 1, 2, 4). As relief, the parent asserted that the student requires, among other things, 30 hours per week of 1:1 instruction by a special education teacher, 5 hours of 1:1 instruction using Orton Gillingham or a similar literacy methodology, individual OT three times per week for 45 minutes, as well as continued speech language therapy and PT to address his needs (id. at pp. 6-13). The parent also requested funding for an independent neuropsychological evaluation,"[c]ompensatory education services for the total services recommended less those received through pendency" as well as "compensatory education services for all makeup hours for the pendency mandate not provided for the 19-20 school year" (id. at p. 13).
Between July 31, 2020 and October 1, 2020, the district and parent finalized an agreement regarding the student's pendency placement wherein based upon a September 2015 IEP the district agreed to provide the student with the following 12-month special education services, all in group sessions not to exceed two students: 15 hours per week of special education itinerant teacher services; three, 45-minute sessions each week of PT, OT, and speech-language therapy (see Pendency Agreement).
On January 12, 2021, an IHO was assigned by the district from the roster of IHOs to adjudicate the due process proceeding (IHO Decision at p. 2). No impartial hearing was conducted, and in a final decision dated March 6, 2021, the IHO indicated that he had e-mailed the student's family on three occasions during January and February 2021 and asked the district's case manager to "seek to reach the family as well" (id.). After receiving no response from the parent, the IHO dismissed the parent's due process complaint notice with prejudice (id.).
The parent appeals, asserting the IHO erred in dismissing the underlying due process hearing. The parent asserts, among other things, that she received several notification e-mails over the course of six months from the filing of the due process complaint notice from the district's impartial hearing office from a "do not reply" e-mail address, but that no hearing had been scheduled. Similarly, the parent alleges that a notification was sent from the district that the IHO had been assigned on January 12, 2021, as well as two further notifications from the district that her due process complaint had been received. The parent contends that she thereafter received a notice from the district on March 9, 2021 that the IHO had dismissed the parent's due process proceeding. According to the parent, she thereafter located e-mails dated January 14, 21, February 16 and March 6, 2021 from the IHO at what appeared to be a Hungarian e-mail address that had been blocked and segregated in a spam folder. The parent describes further communications from district personnel and the IHO thereafter, asserting that 1) the CSE agreed to the parents request for funding of an independent neuropsychological evaluation, 2) the IHO advised that changing the final order to "without prejudice" seemed "unlikely to impossible" without an appeal, and 3) the district could not resolve the parent's request for compensatory education in the absence of an active due process proceeding. The parent requests that the undersigned either reverse the IHO's dismissal of the due process complaint notice with prejudice and remand the matter for an impartial hearing, or, in the alternative, modify the IHO's dismissal to one that is without prejudice so the parent can refile her claims.
In an answer, the district explains that the e-mails sent to the parties by the IHO were not made part of the administrative record and agrees with the parent that the IHO erred in dismissing the due process complaint notice with prejudice. The district indicates that the IHO only used e-mail to communicate with the parent despite the parent providing other means of communication on her due process complaint notice and that the IHO moved to quickly to dismiss the case with prejudice. The district requests that the IHO's decision be reversed and the matter be remanded for an impartial hearing on the merits.
A. Due Process Hearing Procedures and IHO Dismissal
Generally, unless specifically prohibited by regulation, IHOs are provided with broad discretion, subject to administrative and judicial review procedures, in how they conduct an impartial hearing, so long as they "accord each party a meaningful opportunity" to exercise their rights during the impartial hearing (Letter to Anonymous, 23 IDELR 1073 [OSEP 1995]; see M.M. v. New York City Dep't of Educ., 2017 WL 1194685, at *7-*8 [S.D.N.Y. Mar. 30, 2017]; J.S. v. New York City Dep't of Educ., 2017 WL 744590, at *5 [S.D.N.Y. Feb. 24, 2017]; Impartial Due Process Hearing, 71 Fed. Reg. 46,704 [Aug. 14, 2006] [indicating that IHOs should be granted discretion to conduct hearings in accordance with standard legal practice, so long as they do not interfere with a party's right to a timely due process hearing]). Also, as a general matter, the parties to an impartial hearing are obligated to comply with the reasonable directives of the IHO regarding the conduct of the impartial hearing (see Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 14-090; Application of a Child with a Disability, Appeal No. 05-026; Application of a Child with a Disability, Appeal No. 04-103; Application of a Child with a Disability, Appeal No. 04-061). A dismissal with prejudice should usually be reserved for extreme cases (see Nickerson-Reti v. Lexington Pub. Sch., 893 F. Supp. 2d 276, 293-94 [D. Mass. 2012]).
At first blush, the parent's failure to respond to the IHO's correspondence attempts over a two-month period appears problematic and could be viewed under some circumstances as a proper basis for dismissal of an impartial due process hearing due to the nonparticipation of the claimant. However, several particular facts are present in this proceeding that give me pause regarding the procedures used by the IHO to dismiss the impartial hearing, which appear to be undisputed by the parties. Due to several unusual factors, I am persuaded that the IHO erred in dismissing the parent's due process complaint notice with prejudice, based solely on the parent's failure to respond to the IHO's communications.
First, according to his decision, the IHO "reached out [to] the parties on January 14, 2021 and further e-mail correspondence was exchanged on several occasions without receiving any response from the family" (IHO Decision at p. 2). On January 21, 2021 the IHO notified the family via e-mail that the matter was at risk of dismissal and received no response (id.). On February 11, 2021 the IHO asked the district's impartial hearing "case manager" to seek to reach the family as well after he had been unable to reach the family via the e-mail provided by them in the due process complaint notice (id.). After the IHO still had not received a response from the parent, he notified her on February 16, 2021 that he would dismiss the matter if he did not received a response from her by February 23, 2021 (id.). The parent similarly alleges the IHO sent four e-mails, dated January 14, 21, February 16, and March 6, 2021 (see Req. for Rev. at p. 3). While the parent asserts that none of the e-mails from the IHO actually scheduled a prehearing conference or evidentiary hearing (id. at pp. 3-4), the contents of the IHO's e-mails and directives upon which the dismissal determination was based are not clear because, as the district points out, the IHO failed to include his directives to the parties in the administrative hearing record, and neither party produced the IHO's e-mails for this State-level review.[1] The failure to create an administrative record to support the IHO's determination weighs against upholding the IHO's dismissal of the due process complaint notice.
Another unusual factor in this case is the seeming reliance upon e-mail as the sole method of communication that was utilized by the IHO before resorting to outright dismissal of the due process complaint notice with prejudice. The parent's due process complaint notice contained two of her telephone numbers as well as her mailing address information as provided for in the due process complaint notice, but the IHO only used e-mail for communication (Due Process Compl. Notice at p. 1). While it may have been appropriate for the IHO to attempt communications via e-mail, and to further direct district personnel (i.e. the "case manager") to attempt to establish communications with the parent, there is no documentation in the administrative record indicating that the "case manager" complied with the IHO's request or, if she did make any attempt, what method of communication was used. Under these circumstances I find that the severe sanction of dismissal with prejudice was unwarranted when the parent had already provided multiple other means of contact and where no administrative record was created by the IHO to support the outcome.
Finally, the district's agreement with the parent's position that the IHO erred in dismissing the case and that the matter should be remanded for an impartial hearing weighs in favor of granting the parent's requested relief.
Before doing so, I also note this case presents a cautionary tale that highlights the ever changing nature and, at times, the unpredictability of e-mail communications. Both the use of e-mail communications and subsequent rise of new features such as spam or junk folders have become commonplace in this digital age, and the conveniences they afford to parties can hardly be overlooked. However, in my view the mere fact that e-mail communications were allegedly routed to a spam folder may not be a sufficient basis by itself to assert lack of notice, particularly when, as in this case, the e-mail address was affirmatively provided by the parent for the purpose of facilitating communications regarding the due process proceeding. In other words, reliance on e-mail communications provides a high level of convenience, but it is a cooperative endeavor and a party's mere allegation of accidental loss in a flooded inbox or the proverbial "it went in my spam folder" so to speak, may not win every argument (see Colon-Vazquez v. Dep't of Educ. of Puerto Rico, 46 F. Supp. 3d 132, 139-141 (D.P.R. 2014 [noting the difficulties with e-mail delivery of documents to the parent and declining to excuse the school district of its responsibilities]; Wong v. Bd. of Educ., 478 F. Supp. 3d 229, 259 [rejecting the parent's claim and finding that the school district's inadvertent blocking of the parents' e-mail as spam was insufficient basis to find that communication with the district had been impeded] [D. Conn. 2020]; Pettigrew v. Middletown Area Sch. Dist., 2006 WL 4032181, at *4 [M.D. Pa. Sept. 26, 2006] [describing a dispute over the date of receipt of an e-mailed document and the legal consequences flowing from receipt]). In my view, incumbent with the decision to rely on e-mail, the participants in such communications have a responsibility to actively monitor the continuing effectiveness of e-mail communications and attempt to correct difficulties with reasonable diligence if their respective expectations have not been met.
In this case, it was the responsibility of the parent to periodically check the spam folder at the risk of the consequences for the failure to do so – at least more often than she did so in this case. At the same time, the alleged use of an e-mail address from overseas by the IHO may have inadvertently contributed to the likelihood that the messages would be blocked, and the repeated silence of the parent was a sign of a potential technical problem, especially when there was no evidence of the use of any other forms of communication. Once again, on this record, it is impossible to tell as neither the e-mails themselves, nor evidence of their treatment as spam were produced in the administrative record. Furthermore, as the district has acquiesced to the parents request in this matter and the administrative record does not support the IHO's determination, I will vacate the IHO's decision to dismiss the parent's due process complaint. The matter will be remanded to the IHO to conduct an impartial hearing on the merits and render a decision on the merits that is based upon an adequate hearing record.
THE APPEAL IS SUSTAINED.
IT IS ORDERED that the IHO's decision dated March 6, 2021 is vacated in its entirety; and,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the IHO to convene an impartial hearing on the merits of the parties' dispute.
[1] The decision of the impartial hearing officer shall be based solely upon the record of the proceeding before the impartial hearing officer, and shall set forth the reasons and the factual basis for the determination (8 NYCRR 200.5[j][5][v]). Further, the hearing record should include "any other documentation deemed relevant and material", of which the e-mails he cites to in dismissing the parent's due process complaint clearly fall (8 NYCRR 200.5[j][5][vi][6]). The documents relied upon in an IHO decision must be made part of the hearing record.

This will just be a quick informal review as I know better reviewers have already written essay long assessments on what they think about Oathbringer. This is a difficult one for me to rate actually. The Stormlight Archive is probably my second favourite fantasy world following Malazan. I adore the characters so much. Kaladin is brilliant and I really liked Shallan's development, especially with reference to Veil. (We didn't get to see too much of Radiant but I'm sure she'll be important going forward.) Dalinar is as confused and conflicted as ever and this time we get to see more dream sequences and also his backstory. Certain segments of the flashbacks were pretty intriguing, especially his time suffering from alcoholism, details about his ShShShShSh wife and about his meeting with the Nightwatcher. I can't help thinking that some of Dalinar's sections bored me though. I know they are super important to the story but I can't deny that I was occasionally disappointed when I saw that a 25-minute Dalinar flashback was in the middle of the more immediate action. In addition to this, I mainly found that the interludes took me away from the drama and I was often found to be rushing these sections. For all these tiny problems I had with the book, there are many amazing moments and aspects here too. Talking to Wit is always charming, crazy and interesting, Shallan's progression was really well described and intriguing, Bridge Four essentially turning into flying superheroes, and I liked a couple of the fable-like past stories that were presented to add depth to this already deep and monstrously detailed world. These tales in isolation would probably win most short story contents. Most notable to me was a short story that Shallan depicted using her drawings to bring it to life for Pattern. Speaking of Pattern – I adore the spren. I really wish I had a pet one whether they could turn into a sword or a 'sylblade' or not. Syl is my favourite and we find out a bit more about her and her past here which was really interesting. The magic's still brilliant as is normally the way in Sanderson books and as the Radiants and others get used to there powers it seems like the possibilities could be endless if the mysterious capabilities are in the right hands. I enjoyed seeing Lift in this after reading her novella – Edgedancer. It's great to find out more about the ultimate enemy Odium and talk about his nine shadows created superb imagery in my mind. Some of Szeth's chapters were slightly boring but the ending makes his 'transformation' seem worthwhile… and what's going on with his sword? The last 20-percent of the narrative was brilliant but before that I found sections dragging, therefore, it didn't quite have the unputdownability that a 5-star rating of mine needs to have. All this being said, it's still a brilliant book by arguably the best, most consistent and most reliable author writing fantasy today. I'll still pick up the 4th book in this series the day it comes out but unfortunately, this one didn't quite tick all the boxes. It's still recommended if you've read the previous two of course. This is no way a 'dud' though – the characters, magic and the world are magnificent.


I think this blog post will be like marmite. You either love the vinyl or glitter trend or you don't. We all know I am a big lover of bold fabrics and materials and if you are looking to spice up your clothes, hopefully this post will help. I was pretty excited when I ordered these vinyl over the knee boots from ebay, I was amazed at how affordable they were. A basic t-shirt and a pair of jeans is a great way to wear vinyl boots, I love how edgy this look is and it is completely out of my comfort zone.
Another way to jazz up your winter wardrobe is sequins and glitter - yes, this is an easy and affordable option. If you are looking for sparkly jumpsuits or playsuits, QUIZ clothing have a pretty nifty selection at the moment. We all know I am big fan of QUIZ clothing and not only are the Black Friday deals pretty impressive but QUIZ have also launched a new Spanish website! I know I have a few Fairytale Kiss readers in Spain so shopping for QUIZ clothing has got a lot easier.
Those are definitely some stand out boots! I think they are really fun!

"In talking with some of the local OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), it was an exciting time to bring it back private," said Jim Lee, president. "I'm hoping as a local, independently owned company, we might see some opportunities that may or may not have been there as part of a larger organization."
Lee Aerospace is growing and adding employees as it's added some new work.
It's expecting a solid 2014, he said.
The company grew from 180 employees a couple of months ago to about 220 today.
Lee plans on adding another 15 employees, primarily sheet metal assemblers, in the next couple of months, he said.
Being a part of Triumph was a great learning experience, Lee said.
"We are grateful to the Triumph Group for the support and foundation they provided as we grew the business from a producer of aircraft transparencies to include aerostructures and assemblies, composite manufacturing and aftermarket sales, as well," Lee said in a statement.
He declined to disclose a purchase price.
"It's pretty much business as usual," Lee said of the change back to private ownership.
Viking Air has chosen Lee to supply fuselage sections for its Viking Twin Otter 400. Lee Aerospace began work on the project in mid-2013.
Last weekend, Lee shipped the first fuselage section to Viking at its assembly plant in Calgary, Alberta.
The company has other new work from local manufacturers as well, and it's looking for future growth opportunities, Lee said.
Customers also include Bombardier Learjet, Beechcraft, Cessna Aircraft, Spirit AeroSystems, Honda, Cirrus and Gulfstream, the company said.
Lee Aerospace was founded in 1989 and is located in 146,000 square feet at 9323 E. 34th Street North.
It became part of Triumph is 2000, and over the next 14 years, employment grew by more than 300 percent and revenue by 350 percent, the company said.
Triumph, based in Berwyn, Pa., continues to operate a facility, the former Excel Manufacturing, at 3258 S. Hoover, and a facility in Wellington.

NJ Cannabis Insider and NJ Advance Media are reporting that Chris Brown is one of three Republicans in the state senate that may provide the decisive votes in favor of marijuana legalization.
In exchange the trio wants funding for addiction treatment (especially outpatient opioid treatment), funding for the 911 system and reimbursement for municipalities to train "Drug Recognition Experts" to test drivers suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of marijuana.

Ansa Arts Culture & Style
Arts Culture & Style
A medical 'treatise' emerges from ancient waters
San Casciano shrine was also part spa, part hospital
Redazione ANSA SAN CASCIANO DEI BAGNI
(ANSA) - SAN CASCIANO DEI BAGNI, NOV 8 - Imagine a temple that is also a hospital and in part a spa too.
A fairy-tale place immersed in nature where people can meet to pray or to ask priests for oracles about the future.
But also a place where you can bathe in hot, therapeutic pools of all sizes to find comfort from the weakness of one's body under the benevolent eyes of the gods.
The Shrine of the Great Bath (Il Santuario del Bagno Grande) at San Casciano, Tuscany, was all of this.
It was founded and used by the Etruscans, who were at home here, and then passed on to the Romans with an osmosis of science, religion and culture that seems to have had few equals in the ancient world.
"It was a space for healing and for prayer," said Jacopo Tabolli, the archaeologist from University for Foreigners of Siena who has been leading the excavation mission seeking to uncover the secrets of the ancient shrine since 2019.
In short, it was a wonderful place where, amid the 1,000 shades of green of the area's hills, people came to improve their health and pray, caressed by the waters that, today like 2,300 years ago, emerge from the earth at a temperature of between 38 and 42 degrees.
Its story is told, first and foremost, by the ex-votos: dozens and dozens of legs, arms and ears, as well as livers, wombs and penises - all reproduced in bronze, a characteristic that makes this shrine a unique example in the ancient world.
In many cases these were covered in inscriptions, both in Etruscan and in Latin, dedicated to the gods and sometimes with information about the very special characteristics attributed to these waters.
Among the offerings made to the gods and so carefully placed in the biggest and deepest bath - the one reserved for sacred purposes where people may have prayed, but without ever getting into the water - there are some that suggest this was much more than a thermal complex.
There are various types of items of medical equipment, surgical scalpels, a specillum.
There are also two remarkable bronze "poliviscerali", effectively stylized representations of the human organs, although here they appear "as accurate as with a CT scan" Tabolli observed.
Again these are cases of ex-voto offerings to the gods.
"They stem from the Roman era but they hail back to the memory of the Etruscan age, which in some ways is an acknowledgment of their great medical knowledge," he said.
So the Great Bath Shrine was a place where medicine was practised, with priests probably doubling up as doctors.
And, following the Etruscan tradition, medicine was accompanied by divination, with auspices based on the interpretation of lightning and thunder and signs of nature, as well as the "reading" of organs, especially the liver.
"Divination practices were linked to the therapeutic, medical universe, the favoured places for which were shrines," explained Tabolli, showing a beautiful bronze lightning bolt, which was among the gifts to the gods from the Great Bath.
"The water here also had the power of an oracle".
So one of the hypotheses is that this shrine, which was so important that it was frequented by the highest social classes and even by emperors, hosted other structures next to the spectacular scene of the pools spread out over several levels with a grand portico, fountains and altars - sheltered places where one could stay overnight and perhaps have medical examinations and surgery and rooms for convalescence.
Future excavations may help clarify these points, Tabolli said with enthusiasm.
In the meantime the experts called in by the team of archaeologists to study the geochemistry of these waters are at work.
And who knows? Perhaps, after over 2,000 years, the medical knowledge of the Etruscans might still be useful. (ANSA).

Conexus Building Communities
Message From the Architect
News and Project Updates
Myths busted and Frequently asked questions
Myth: Conexus should just give the University of Regina $8 million instead of buying its way into the park. How is Conexus even allowed in the park?
Conexus responded to a request for proposals (RFP) by the University of Regina who was looking for a partner. There were four criteria for the development in that RFP and Conexus was able to meet all four of them.
Help restore College Avenue Campus – That $8 million you hear mentioned will help with this.
Expand Darke Hall functionality – This is where the location of the building is key. Our building will be located right next to Darke Hall helping to make a significant difference because we can utilize a shared atrium and mechanical systems.
Improve accessibility for Darke Hall – We will solve the accessibility challenges so anyone can enjoy a performance.
Offer a centre for leadership and outreach – We are creating a one of a kind business incubator to support Saskatchewan start-ups and microbusinesses.
Myth: The public was left out of the decision-making process. Is this true?
This has been a very public process:
The land proposed for our building was designated for future development in the Wascana Centre Master Plan released in May 2016. The process of developing that Master Plan included three public meetings in 2015 and an online survey.
In June 2016, the University of Regina held two open public sessions on its proposed partnership with Conexus. The sessions were advertised twice in the Leader Post and about 25,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the public received invitations by email. The consultations were publicized during a media event June 8 when the university announced Conexus as the successful partner. This news conference was well-attended and well-covered by Regina media.
Business groups, heritage groups and others attended a series of targeted meetings on the proposal.
Conexus designed this website to keep our members and the public informed about the project.
Conexus has made a commitment to share the design once it is approved by the Provincial Capital Commission
Why would Conexus want to partner in something like the College Avenue Campus renewal project?
As a Saskatchewan-based co-operative we're deeply committed to the province and communities we serve. This partnership reflects our continuing commitment to co-operative principles and our 80 plus year tradition of serving this community. Credit unions are builders who invest in Saskatchewan people and communities to make a difference on the quality of life in this province.
Conexus is a strong supporter of education, arts and culture. Our contribution of up to $8.25 million to the College Avenue Campus renewal project is a prime example of this. It will help the University of Regina restore Darke Hall and the historic campus, turning it into an educational and cultural hub. That's good for our community and good for our members.
How does this project affect me as a member?
On a day-to-day basis, you won't notice much difference. The new building won't be a branch serving Conexus members.
We're building an office space that will allow us to bring our corporate services employees under one roof. This change will help us work more efficiently and effectively, which is something that will benefit all members in the long run. We believe it will:
result in highly engaged employees delivering focused and relevant products and services that meet the needs of our members
help us retain and attract the world-class, expert employees we need to keep pace with our members' growing needs
help us gain efficiencies in office space and reduce travel between multiple locations
This project is also about giving back to the community as we help the University of Regina save a beloved campus and work to create an educational and cultural hub that will be there for our kids and grandkids.
Myth: Construction will result in the loss of park land and the destruction of trees.
The building is located on College Avenue Campus, just outside of the park in Wascana Centre. We have worked with the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC), who are stewards of the park, on a reforestation plan. The PCC and its partners in the park have completed successful tree moves, removals and replacements in the past. Any trees that can't be relocated will be replaced in other areas of the park at a 3 to 1 ratio.
Myth: The new building will mean there will be a huge traffic increase in the park.
You won't see customers coming and going to the building. It is being designed for our Regina corporate services employees who are currently located throughout the city.
Plus, Conexus employees and any building tenants will be coming and going via College Avenue, Ramsey Drive and Hamilton street to the north of the park. This will help avoid heavy traffic further south on Wascana Drive.
Did you also know that because of this project, the Wascana Drive /College Avenue intersection will be straightened and have a traffic signal? This will improve the safety of the intersection for vehicles, bikes and foot traffic.
Myth: The new building will mean a nightmare for parking.
New parking will be developed underground. Plus, Conexus will lease 100 existing parking spaces from the University of Regina that will be available for public use outside of business hours. Public parking will also be available on the east side of the newly designed section of Wascana Drive and on Ramsey Drive.
Myth: This building is just the tip of the iceberg for commercialization in the park. Stay tuned – more are on the way!
We don't support commercialization of the park just for the sake of building in it. We support our project because we can solve a number of community challenges by entering a unique partnership with the University of Regina and, at the same time, support the revitalization of College Avenue Campus. We are member-owned organization with an 80 plus year history of supporting our communities in Saskatchewan who is partnering with another community organization.
Will Conexus pay taxes?
Yes. Conexus will pay property taxes. Revenue will also come to the City of Regina via servicing agreement fees and building permits. In addition, Wascana Centre will benefit from land use and development fees paid by Conexus for the initial development, as well as annual licensing fees.
You may also be interested to know that the cost of any roadwork associated with the project is shared between Conexus and the University of Regina. Conexus will cover items such as costs for sidewalks and road construction associated with the relocation of Wascana Drive, Ramsay Drive, and Old Campus Road to accommodate the building site.
Why do you need a new head office?
Conexus leases or owns almost 80,000 square feet of office space in a number of locations throughout Regina. Over the last several years, we've looked for ways to consolidate our administrative office space to help us work more efficiently and effectively. During our search, we considered 17 sites to construct buildings ranging from 40,000 to 250,000 square feet.
The University of Regina released a public request for proposals looking for a development partner to assist in the restoration of College Avenue Campus in January 2016. We saw the potential for an innovative and creative solution to our challenge of consolidating our administrative staff while doing something good for the community.
Is this project a big expense for Conexus?
We already own or lease office space at a number of different locations in Regina. Building a new corporate office to consolidate our corporate services employees will have little or no impact to our capital or earnings over the long-term.
Our partnership with the University of Regina also includes a contribution toward the College Avenue Campus renewal project. This is an investment in the province and a commitment to education in Saskatchewan.
Is this the first commercial building in the park?
Wascana Centre is already home to other businesses and corporate facilities. This includes the CBC building, office spaces like the ministries of Health and Environment, the former sound stage, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, The Conexus Arts Centre and the restaurant Willow on Wascana.
You won't see any retail activity in our new building. It will house our corporate services employees who currently work from a number of different locations across the city.

FSB Agents in Orthodox Hierarchy Now Less about Beliefs than about Property and Money
Staunton, December 26 – Since Stalin restored the Russian Orthodox Church during World War II, it has been widely known and accepted both by most believers and nearly all experts on that church that the KGB recruited members of the hierarchy and made their elevation in the church possible in order to ensure ideological control of the population.
That unfortunate trend has even been the subject of a classic novel, Lavr Divromlikov's The Traitor in which the security organs recruit a priest, murder his wife so that he can rise into the hierarchy, and leave him at the end uncertain as to whether he is serving God or state or himself.
Nonetheless, every time information comes out confirming this sad reality of Soviet times, it becomes a scandal, as has happened in recent days with the release of the KGB files left in Latvia after the fall of Soviet power, with journalists and commentators treating this as "a revelation" rather than simply a confirmation of what has long been known.
One of the reasons the information from Latvia has attracted so much attention is that it concerns not church hierarchs who served church and state a generation or more ago but rather men who are in senior positions in the structures of the Moscow Patriarchate in Latvia now, something especially critical as the Orthodox Church in Ukraine moves toward autocephaly.
But this coverage has generally failed to note two important things: On the one hand, secret police penetration of the Russian Orthodox Church did not end in 1991 and has become far more intense since Vladimir Putin came to power. And on the other – and in a measure of the corruption of the state and church now – it is as much or more about property than about belief.
That has now been corrected in an important new article by church historian Aleksandr Soldatov (graniru.org/opinion/m.274449.html). He points out that Metropolitan Aleksandr, the current head in Latvia of the semi-autonomous Latvian Church of the Moscow Patriarchate was recruited by the KGB in 1982 and then had a dizzying career upwards.
That is a typical pattern, Soldatov suggests, but he points to something often neglected: Secret police links with the hierarchs didn't end with the Soviet Union. Instead, they continued with the FSB, which with Aleksandr and most others becoming less about ideology alone than about control and disbursement of property and money.
Using commercial structures, the FSB continued to work with the metropolitan and in fact was able to make the Latvian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate into "a kind of oasis of the Soviet Union" in which property passed from the church to others (kompromat.lv/item.php?docid=readn&id=9111).
As Soldatov notes, the FSB still cares about controlling what the hierarchs think and preach, but it now appears, especially in the Putin era, that its chief concern is gaining access to the control and distribution of the enormous wealth of the church or using it as a cover for financial machinations, a concern that further corrupts the church.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, several efforts were made to expose the KGB's role in the ROC MP, but most were stymied by official delays. Then, after 2000 when Putin assumed power, these efforts were mostly stopped altogether with the heroization of the KGB and other security agencies.
The religious specialist notes in conclusion that "there is no clear answer as to whether the cooperation of the hierarchy with the special services of an atheist state was justified. And that is yet another piece of evidence that the Moscow Patriarchate is condemned to share the fate of the Chekist regime when its historical time runs out."
