The passage of Section 111 is not simply a procedural inconvenience to liability and workers' compensation insurers. Rather, these mandatory reporting requirements have impacted the ability of workers' compensation, liability, and no-fault insurers to settle and close claims. These requirements could increase costs or result in a claim being reopened. Compared to claim settlement practices that were common just a few years ago, many insurers are facing new challenges in the wake of Section 111 when attempting to settle claims with future medical exposure. This article will identify some of these challenges and remaining issues as insurers navigate through the post-Section 111 settlement process.
Although it sounds like a mere procedural requirement, Section 111 was enacted to protect Medicare's interests as a secondary payor of benefits. Medicare is a secondary payor in these situations, and has a right of reimbursement for any "conditional payments" it may have made in connection with that claim and the right to refuse future payments if presented. Moreover, Medicare has an interest in any settlement of the primary payor's future medical obligations. Prior to settling a claim involving future medical benefits with a Medicare-eligible claimant, the insurer must demonstrate that it has protected Medicare's interests, or it can face potential liability for payments Medicare makes to medical providers treating the claimant.
This is nothing new. By law, Medicare has been a secondary payor with respect to workers' compensation claims since its inception in 1965, and with respect to liability claims since the enactment of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act in 1980.5 Section 111 has done nothing to materially affect or change Medicare's status as a secondary payor. What is new, however, is the way in which CMS can now enforce and protect that status.
Prior to the enactment of Section 111, CMS had no comprehensive mechanism to ensure that Medicare was appropriately refusing to pay for workers' compensation or liability-related injuries. In short, Medicare was unable to easily identify claims where it was a secondary payor, and was therefore not pursuing potential reimbursements from insurers. With the implementation of Section 111, CMS can now maintain a data warehouse of claims in which Medicare is a secondary payor, using the data reported by workers' compensation and liability insurers. Section 111 enables CMS to readily identify the payments that Medicare made as a secondary payor and recoup those payments from the insurers. It also helps ensure that Medicare does not pay or overpay for future medical care on those claims going forward.
Some of the major issues that have surfaced since the enactment and implementation of Section 111 concern this last objective—payment of future medical treatment for Section 111 claims (i.e., claims where Medicare is a secondary payor). After an insurer settles with a claimant who may require future medical treatment, can the insurer close that claim file with confidence that CMS will never again hold it responsible for additional payments? What if the Medicare set-aside (MSA) is insufficient to fund future medical care? What if the claimant uses the medical set-aside monies for purposes other than medical care? Because CMS can now identify a claim as a Medicare secondary payor claim, can it simply deny benefits? Can it force the insurer to reopen its claim file and make additional payments? In the post-Section 111 world, is final ever really final for liability and workers' compensation insurers, and, if so, at what cost?
The ability to settle with Medicare-eligible claimants hinges on the insurer's demonstration that it has protected Medicare's interests in the settlement. Many workers' compensation insurers consider the MSA process to be the best tool available at this time to prevent future medical costs from being billed to the claim. When a workers' compensation claimant is receiving a large settlement6 and future medical treatment is expected, a portion of the settlement providing for future Medicare-reimbursable medical treatment is estimated and submitted to CMS for approval. Once approved, the MSA amount then gets placed in a trust fund to be used only for future Medicare-reimbursable medical expenses related to the workers' compensation injury.
Based on many comments and documents circulated by CMS, an approved MSA obtained as part of a properly executed settlement may be the best way to provide "safe harbor" to workers' compensation insurers. It is important to note, though, that nothing published by CMS on this subject rises to the level of a fully promulgated regulation under the Federal Administrative Procedures Act. Therefore, a long-term legally enforceable safe harbor may not be guaranteed. In short, once the MSA is approved by CMS and funded in a trust, the insurer can settle the claim and close its file. However, insurers should be wary of some pitfalls and uncertainties surrounding their reliance on MSAs.
The administrative approval of the MSA by CMS apparently does not guarantee that the settled claim will remain settled. The process is advisory in nature, and therefore does not eliminate the risk of reopening.
Third, Medicare's estimate of the amount required to fund the MSA is often higher than the insurer's estimate, which can also delay or deter settlement. For example, the inclusion of prescription drugs in MSAs has raised questions, including realistic/appropriate duration of "acute" prescriptions, application of guidelines, inclusion of medications not clearly related to the compensable injury, and the appropriate conversion of expensive brand drugs to equivalent generics.8 Generally, medical reports can be unclear about future medical treatment, resulting in divergent estimates of expected Medicare-related costs.
In the past, many insurers would have settled a claim without the approved MSA if they felt that the MSA amount was unreasonably high. The insurer and claimant can always choose to settle a claim without a CMS-approved MSA. However, that settlement amount is not binding on CMS. Moreover, with the implementation of Section 111, there is renewed emphasis on and awareness of the importance of protecting Medicare's interests—settling a claim without CMS approval is increasingly risky. Thus, despite its shortfalls, there is not a clear alternative to the MSA process that would better serve insurers in complying with their obligation to protect Medicare's interests when settling a claim. For this reason, many insurers who otherwise would have settled a claim without MSA approval may now opt to simply keep the claim open.
A fourth concern that arises when settling workers' compensation claims pertains to closing a claim file "administratively." It is standard practice to close a workers' compensation claim after a period of inactivity. For example, if the insurer does not receive a medical bill for a year or more, that insurer may assume that the claimant is no longer treating, and will close the claim. In some cases, this is a reasonable assumption and the closure is appropriate. In other cases, however, it is likely that the claimant has become Medicare-eligible and the medical bills are being submitted to Medicare. Because reporting of such claims was not mandatory or enforced, the ability of CMS to identify these claims and collect reimbursements was limited. With the implementation of Section 111, however, CMS will be able to identify these claims and seek reimbursement for its conditional payments. Thus, insurers may need to reevaluate their claims practices and revise administrative closure procedures, including checks on whether the claimant is subject to the Section 111 reporting requirements. A claim that the insurer considered closed could be at increased risk for reopening, perhaps with significant past conditional payments due.
Unlike workers' compensation, there is not a formal MSA approval process in place for liability carriers. However, the CMS regional offices do have the discretion to review liability MSAs. Review standards and thresholds vary from office to office. Liability insurers have been making increasing use of MSAs as part of the settlement process for the same reasons as workers' compensation insurers—they seek to demonstrate that they are protecting Medicare's interests as a secondary payor so that settlement can be finalized and the claim closed.
As with workers' compensation, there is no law requiring that MSAs be obtained for liability settlements, nor is there any law governing CMS's opinion or approval process for liability MSAs. However, MSAs are still perceived by many to be the best option for insurers in terms of demonstrating protection for Medicare's interests. Indeed, there is no clear direction provided by CMS about how to protect the claimant's future Medicare benefits in the absence of a set-aside.
However, neither is there any guarantee that obtaining an MSA will provide protection for the insurer from any post-settlement disputes and potential future exposure. As with workers' compensation claimants, liability claimants will need to fully understand the implications of settling their claims if future medical treatment is expected. CMS may expect all settlement funds to be exhausted on Medicare-reimbursable services prior to Medicare being billed.
This raises the question of whether liability insurers in certain cases may opt to go to court rather than settling as they would in the past. Of course, that decision comes at a price. Trying a case increases the uncertainty associated with the ultimate value of the claim, and also significantly increases associated expenses.
While appearing procedural on its face, Section 111 could have an impact on insurers' ability to settle and a resulting impact on costs. Settlement values could increase, driven by high MSA values. Settlement opportunities may be delayed, thereby increasing costs as well as the risk that settlement may fail entirely. In the face of perceived or actual obstacles to claim settlements, workers' compensation insurers may opt to keep more claims open and liability insurers may choose to proceed to trial. Both of these options increase uncertainty, and increase expenses related to the claim. Claims that in the past would have been administratively closed for inactivity may need to remain open with increased investigation and expenses to determine the Medicare status of the claimant. Insurers have little guidance or direction with regard to how to best protect Medicare's interests—and in so doing, protect their own. The MSA appears to be the front-runner of choice, but even this vehicle does not offer complete "safe harbor" (if available at all).

Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1850, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory. The litany is familiar: cold, dispassionate, objective, modern science shows us that races can be ranked on a scale of superiority. If this offends Christian morality or a sentimental belief in human unity, so be it; science must be free to proclaim unpleasant truths.

As part of the support provided to the argan producers to comply with national and international standards (PGI, food safety and cosmetics standards), the PAMPAT project team regularly organizes training and coaching sessions.
The objectives of these sessions are to familiarize the operators with the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and procedures needed to obtain the Ministry of Health recognition, and to sensitize and train producers on traceability and documents recording as a follow up.
Eight producers have been diagnosed so far and are being accompanied for the preparation of the necessary files. This process is required to enhance the competitiveness of the argan value chain operators and therefore improve their positioning on international markets.


I don't half love the August bank holiday. It's the grown-up equivalent of six glorious weeks of school holidays as a child. Except, obviously, far shorter, with fewer Screwball ice creams, Wagon Wheels and sandy tuna paste Mighty White sandwiches.
With the exception of my husband forgetting to switch off his usual Monday morning work alarm which merrily rang out at 6.20am this morning (we had to have very strong words), today has been a day of doing nothing. I've read the paper, flicked through a few recipe books, drank endless cups of tea. Oh, and baked this. Marvellous.
Not unlike a small child seeking your approval and praise after learning a brand new skill for the first time, I'd like to present these Mini Violet Chocolate Pansy Cakes.
To utterly misquote Thomas Edison, these beautifully elegant little chocolate cakes were 15% perspiration and 85% terrific tuition from Penelope, Masterclass Tutor at the Peggy Porschen Academy. I was invited to join one of the new floral classes, 'Purple Pansies' hosted by the Academy in celebration of the Peggy's new book 'Cakes in Bloom'.
It's been a great week for my sweet tooth.
A large supermarket chain had my favourite Green and Blacks chocolate half price (cue unashamed whooping and greedy purchasing). The Great British Bake Off is back and, with it, a new spin off show and the inevitable rise in sales of featured baking gizmos and gadgets. That'll be the non-stick rounded fluted tin used in the Mary Berry's Cherry Cake Technical Challenge rather than Stormin' Norman's Swiss Roll skateboard presentation platter.
Cancel all plans, clear your diaries, turn off your phones, in just over 72 hours The Great British Bake Off is back!
The BBC has been teasing us with trailers over recent weeks, including, my favourite, The One Where Mary Berry Cartwheels Across The Lawn. Forget cooking; hand that woman a Commonwealth Gymnastics Gold Medal.
But what to expect from Series Five?
Well, #GBBO has a brand sparkling new home on BBC1. And a brand new spin-off show, An Extra Slice, hosted by the brilliant Jo Brand, who, in one of my favourite ever Bake Off moments, elected to perch her derriere on several packs of butter to bring them to room temperature.
The contestants range from the oldest ever to the youngest ever with a speech therapist, business consultant, fashion designer and construction engineer in the middle. Then there's the contestant who became a WI judge at the tender age of twenty, the contestant who invented a croissant-pretzel mash up (the cross-zel?) and the contestant who doesn't bother weighing her ingredients. We haven't got long to imagine the look of probable horror on Mary Berry's face when she discovered that little nugget.
After last year's 'bitterness and bile', the Raymond rows and social media storm over Ruby's tears, this series promises to be cuddlier, softer and less competitive. Does that mean no more Squirrel Nuts or custard-gate? Thank goodness Mel and Sue are still bouncing around the great white tent providing their constant cheeky flow of baking puns. Here's a sneaky peak as they fight over a gigantic bowl of chocolate mousse from the very first episode.

Like browserify, webpack analyzes all the node-style `require()` calls in your app and builds a bundle that you can serve up to the browser using a `<script>` tag.

Instead of doing

``` sh
$ browserify main.js > bundle.js
```

do

``` sh
$ webpack main.js bundle.js
```

> webpack doesn't write to stdout. You need to specify a filename. It can't write to stdout because, unlike browserify, it may generate multiple output files.

---

The best way to [[configure | configuration]] webpack is with a `webpack.config.js` file. It's loaded from current directory, when running the [[executable | CLI]].

So

``` sh
$ browserify --entry main.js --outfile bundle.js
```

maps to `webpack` with this config:

``` javascript
module.exports = {
	entry: "./main.js",
	output: {
		filename: "bundle.js"
	}
}
```

> Note: A `webpack.config.js` should **export** the configuration, hence the `module.exports = {...}` in the above example.

---

## outfile

If you want to emit the output files to another directory:

``` sh
$ browserify --outfile js/bundle.js
```

``` javascript
{
	output: {
		path: path.join(__dirname, "js"),
		filename: "bundle.js"
	}
}
```

## entry

``` sh
$ browserify --entry a.js --entry b.js
```

``` javascript
{
	entry: [
		"./a.js",
		"./b.js"
	]
}
```

## transform

browserify uses *transforms* to preprocess files. webpack uses *loaders*. Loaders are functions that take source code as an argument and return (modified) source code. Like transforms they run in node.js, can be chained, and can be asynchronous. Loaders can take additional parameters by query strings. Loaders can be used from `require()` calls. Transforms can be specified in the `package.json`. `browserify` applies configured transforms for each module. Within the webpack configuration you select the modules by RegExp. In the common case you specify loaders in the `webpack.config.js`:

``` sh
$ browserify --transform coffeeify
```

``` javascript
{
	module: {
		loaders: [
			{ test: /\.coffee$/, loader: "coffee-loader" }
		]
	}
}
```

> Note: It's possible to use browserify transforms with webpack and the [transform-loader](https://github.com/webpack/transform-loader).

## debug

``` sh
$ browserify -d
# Add inlined SourceMap
```

``` sh
$ webpack --devtool inline-source-map
# Add inlined SourceMaps

$ webpack --devtool source-map
# Emit SourceMaps as separate file

$ webpack --devtool eval
# Emit SourceUrls within evals (faster)

$ webpack --devtool eval-source-map
# Emit inlined SourceMaps within evals

$ webpack --debug
# Add more debugging information to the source

$ webpack --output-pathinfo
# Add comments about paths to source code
# (Useful when using no or the eval devtool)

$ webpack -d
# = webpack --devtool source-map --debug --output-pathinfo
```

## extension

``` sh
$ browserify --extension coffee
```

``` javascript
{
	resolve: {
		extensions: ["", ".js", ".coffee"]
	}
}
```

## standalone

``` sh
browserify --standalone MyLibrary
```

``` javascript
{
	output: {
		library: "MyLibrary",
		libraryTarget: "umd"
	}
}
// webpack --output-library MyLibrary --output-library-target umd
```

## ignore

``` sh
$ browserify --ignore file.js
```

``` javascript
{
	plugins: [
		new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/file\.js$/)
	]
}
```

## node globals

``` sh
$ browserify --insert-globals
$ browserify --detect-globals
```

You can enable/disable these node globals individually:

``` javascript
{
	node: {
		filename: true,
		dirname: "mock",
		process: false,
		global: true
	}
}
```

## ignore-missing

``` sh
$ browserify --ignore-missing
```

webpack prints errors for each missing dependency, but doesn't fail to build a bundle. You are free to ignore these errors. The `require` call will throw an error on runtime.

## noparse

``` sh
$ browserify --noparse=file.js
```

``` javascript
module.exports = {
	module: {
		noParse: [
			/file\.js$/
		]
	}
};
```

## build info

``` sh
$ browserify --deps
$ browserify --list
```

``` sh
$ webpack --json
```

## external requires

webpack does not support external requires. You cannot expose the `require` function to other scripts. Just use webpack for all scripts on a page or do it like this:

``` javascript
{
	output: {
		library: "require",
		libraryTarget: "this"
	}
}
```

``` javascript
// entry point
module.exports = function(parentRequire) {
	return function(module) {
		switch(module) {
		case "through": return require("through");
		case "duplexer": return require("duplexer");
		}
		return parentRequire(module);
	};
}(typeof __non_webpack_require__ === "function" ? __non_webpack_require__ : function() {
	throw new Error("Module '" + module + "' not found")
});
```

## multiple bundles

With browserify you can create a commons bundle that you can use in combination with bundles on multiple pages. To generate these bundles you exclude the common stuff with the `--exclude` `-x` option. Here is the example from the browserify README:

``` sh
$ browserify -r ./robot > static/common.js
$ browserify -x ./robot.js beep.js > static/beep.js
$ browserify -x ./robot.js boop.js > static/boop.js
```

webpack supports multi-page compilation and has a plugin for the automatic extraction of common modules:

``` javascript
var webpack = require("webpack");
{
	entry: {
		beep: "./beep.js",
		boop: "./boop.js",
	},
	output: {
		path: "static",
		filename: "[name].js"
	},
	plugins: [
		// ./robot is automatically detected as common module and extracted
		new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin("common.js")
	]
}
```

``` html
<script src="common.js"></script>
<script src="beep.js"></script>
```

# API

No need to learn much more. Just pass the config object to the `webpack` API:

``` javascript
var webpack = require("webpack");

webpack({
	entry: "./main.js",
	output: {
		filename: "bundle.js"
	}
}, function(err, stats) {
	err // => fatal compiler error (rar)
	var json = stats.toJson() // => webpack --json
	json.errors // => array of errors
	json.warnings // => array of warnings
});
```

Friday: Participants arrive between 5-7 PM, begin networking, and eat dinner. After an ice-breaking game and a short introduction by the Facilitator, there will typically be 1 short speech on practical topics ranging from Pitching Best Practices to Lean Startup Methodology and more. Then the "Pitchfire" will commence: anyone intending to pitch will have 60 seconds to give their best pitch. No presentations or props needed for Friday. It will just be you and a mic. After pitches are finished, all attendees will vote on their favorites, and using these votes the top ideas will be selected to be worked on over the weekend. Teams will form organically, consolidate, and begin working.
Am I expected to work nonstop for 54 hours?
No. At some events, certain teams will decide to work all through Friday and/or Saturday night, but this is by no means obligatory or expected. Whether or not you are allowed to work at the venue at night depends on the venue's opening hours – please ask your event's Organizer.
A key part of every Startup Weekend is the valuable advice and assistance provided by the event's Speakers and Coaches. In the spirit of "No Talk, All Action" we try to keep talks short and sweet, focusing on practical issues (i.e. "how to give a persuasive pitch", "best approaches to customer validation") that can actually help you and your team better achieve your weekend goals. Mentors – community experts in various fields ranging from entrepreneurship, software development, marketing, finance, law, and more – dedicate their time to providing advice and actually rolling up their sleeves and working with teams.In addition to the most valuable resources at the weekend (the people), we've also put together a list of some of the most useful resources in all startup-related fields, for both before, during, and after the weekend. It will be announced via the event dedicated closed group on Facebook.
How do teams address the issue of IP/ownership?
As with any startup, the team decides. Startup Weekend doesn't support or take part in the signing of any legal documents at the events themselves, and while Mentors with legal backgrounds are often present and able to give general advice, they are not permitted to give specific legal counsel.While it doesn't hurt to be clear about your individual expectations from the start, we've found that teams who don't spend time addressing this issue until it actually matters (i.e., there is a tangible product to have ownership of) are much more productive and successful than those who do.
What are we supposed to have accomplished/present on Sunday?
What is the purpose and benefits of the competition?
Competition is not a central theme of Startup Weekend, and this is often reflected in the broad, horizontal allocation of prizes and general flexibility/leniency of the event 'rules.' If and when the competitive aspect comes into conflict with the positive atmosphere we try to cultivate, we consistently choose the latter.We do believe, however, that friendly competition is beneficial to all parties and, most importantly, more accurately reflects the realities of startup life. Just as it's important to gather 'real-world' feedback over the weekend, it's also important to have real-world pressures and obstacles.


Following previous experimentations featuring ballet (in 2016) and opera (in 2017), Arte has announced the launch a new 4K/HDR technical trial period from September 12th to 22nd.
The Franco-German channel has partnered with Amazon CloudFront, AWS Elemental, Anyware Vidéo, ATEME, Cobalt, Globecast, Molotov, Philips, SES, TDF and Technicolor to produce a 4K HDR10 homogeneous version from 1080i original programme Arte Live, by using native UHD-HDR content when available or by upgrading Arte Live HD images into an UHD-HDR version.
The show will then be broadcast on various platforms, such as the DTT network in Paris, Toulouse and Nantes, Astra DTH platform, HbbTV connected TVs and OTT service Molotov.
This trial will help the partners study and compare the quality of images across the broadcast systems and the various transmission standards chosen (HDR10,HLG, SL-HDR, HD, UHD).
The video feeds of the experimentation will also be available at the IBC Show next month.

… and that people have given up on the enlightenment. (and the monarchies).
In the west the church is dead. So we are really left with the two fascisms: authoritarian working class (bolshevism) and authoritarian executive class (naziism).
I'm in the minority which says that the answer is nationalism and constitutional monarchy under natural law, where we have a judicial cult that prosecutes the parasites and liars until none remain.
My understanding is that NazBol is a combination of communism and nazism and that it's reducible to Strasserism. But I am not 'clued in' on pop movements.

Road closures at Glebe Park drainage works [U1]
11:41 am This story is over
— Update 1 at 11:41 on June 27th (Elizabeth Fish): Work has begun on the new drainage system at Lincoln's Glebe Park housing estate, but will result in month-long road closures.
From June 21st, Wolsey Way will be closed for four weeks between Bunkers Hill and Remigius Grove. A diversion will be put in place, advising motorists to use the A46 Lincoln Bypass and Nettleham Road. Residents and bus companies have been informed.
Nathan Whitfield, a senior highways engineer, said: "Work is going well and we're still on schedule […] We're now ready to upgrade the highways drainage system, which means Wolsey Way will need to be closed for a few weeks. However, I'm sure the long-term benefits of the scheme will more than make up for any short-term disruption."
— Original at 13:42 on May 21st: Lincoln's Glebe Park is set to receive £0.5 million-worth of road drainage system upgrades. The improvements, which are being carried out by Ringway on behalf of the County Council, are due to start on June 7th.
The County Council estimates that the work will take around 20 weeks to complete; once completed the Glebe estate will be less at risk from flooding. This work is being carried out due to the current road drainage system being outdated, meaning that the area is currently prone to a flooding risk during storms.
"This project will benefit many residents by reducing the risk of flooding to their property. Two underground tanks will be built to hold the water during storms and then let it naturally soak back into the ground.
"The water will be cleaned as it enters the tank, improving its quality — which is good for the environment. New pipework and gullies will be installed to collect the rainwater," said Nathan Whitfield, Senior Highways Engineer at the County Council.
The first phase of the improvement works will take place in the Bunkers Hill and Wolsey Way areas, with an estimated completion period of four weeks.
This first phase is expected not to cause any traffic disruptions. Future traffic updates, including details of road closures, will be issued in due course.

Is intended as a play on society's popular idea of the artist as an individual with a special prophetic gaze and the notion that any work is not just an exhibition manifestation, but also a manifesto in itself. This group exhibition includes individual works by the ten artists behind the Udstillingsstedet Sydhavn Station in Copenhagen, Denmark. The exhibition will show works in various medias and genres including video, drawing, painting, photo, sculpture and text.
What was previously the ticket office of Sydhavn (South-Harbor) Station has now been transformed into an art space. Situated in a mixed residential area in Copenhagen, the exhibition space is only a 5 minutes train ride from the Main Train Station. The artist run space was founded in 2012 by ten Danish artists and consists of two spaces of 538 sq. ft. and 86 sq. ft. and 15 poster holders located in the station foyer, which was originally used as advertising space. The exhibition space hosts 10-12 contemporary art exhibitions per year, in varied forms, by artists from Denmark and abroad.
The exhibition space is established with a desire for creating a framework where the unobtrusive can be heard. We all have different artistic approaches, which mirror the varied exhibition program and the non-fixed profile of the space.
Woodframes / PU-resin frontcover cast of: clement greenberg, a critic's collection.
This plastic casts of a frontcover book of the infamous art-critic Clement Greenberg, and the triptychon as a genre is loaded with religious meaning, and so is the monochrome loaded with idealized abstractions, beyond the narrative and the literary. Greenberg's understanding of art – particularly painting – was through an evolutionary understanding, an understanding of a linear time dealing with the future (dystopia / utopia): "The Monochrome became a sign of the future", Jacobsen claims.

A: I see what I think is your problem.

*

*You are assuming that if you change tempX and tempY that all variables that are derived from them will change as well,

*but this is not so. Any variables created with tempX or tempY will not magically know to change once they have been created.

*You need to change any variables that need to be changed yourself, and the easiest way to do this is to create a method that takes your tempX and tempY values and re-calculates all the other fields that need to be recalculated.

*Consider creating and moving your Shape and path objects outside of paintComponent, perhaps in the Mouse adapter code and simply painting the Shape in paintComponent.

i.e.,
public void changePositionVectors(int xPos, int yPos) {
  // set the fields that need to be set with x and y
  repaint();
}

Edit
Regarding your new code:
public void changePositionVectors(int xPos, int yPos){
    tempX = xPos;
    tempY = yPos;
    repaint();
}

This fixes nothing since all this does is set's tempX and tempY, and again, changing these values will not magically change any value that was originally created with these fields. Again, your changePositionVectors method must contain more code that in fact sets the values of all the vectors needed for drawing your GUI.

Edit I would take a completely different tack from what you and boxed are doing. I would:

*

*Draw everything to a BufferedImage

*Place that BufferedImage into an ImageIcon

*Place that ImageIcon into a JLabel

*Place that JLabel into a JLayeredPane

*Add a MouseListener and MouseMotionListener to the JLabel.

*Done.

No one can eat just one! These crispy, intricately designed cookies are individually 'baked' either on a stove, or an electric cookie iron. The design varies from waffle-like to crispy cookie.

Downtown Atlanta's Residence Inn First Housed Rhodes-Haverty Investment Firm

Though it has been known as the Downtown Atlanta Residence Inn for over two decades, the historic building at 134 Peachtree Street N.W. was originally constructed to house an ill-fated alliance of furniture magnates.
The Rhodes-Haverty building, as it was historically known, was constructed in 1929. Designed by Pringle and Smith, the Romanesque-style office tower – adorned with brick, granite, and a terra cotta trim – extended 21 stories into the sky. It became Atlanta's tallest building upon completion, a title it held until the mid-'50s.
The building was developed by A.G. Rhodes and J.J. Haverty at a cost of just under $750,000 to house their new business partnership, Rhodes-Haverty Investment Company. The two had previously worked together years earlier before splitting off to build separate furniture empires.
Unfortunately, Rhodes passed away before construction on the duo's new building was completed. Haverty took over as the company's sole executive until he passed away in 1929.
The Rhodes-Haverty building was acquired by Georgia Properties Company in 1946. Its new owner added modern amenities such as automated elevators and air-conditioning; the building continued operating as primarily an office tower.
In the late 1960s, the building's first two floors were modified significantly to accommodate the arrival of men's clothing retailer Brooks Brothers as a ground-floor tenant.
The building was sold to local developer Shouky Shaheen in 1972, then sold again to Rubloff and Company in 1978. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as well.
But by the early '80s, downtown Atlanta was entering decline and gaining a reputation for crime. The Rhodes-Haverty building sat vacant by the 1990s, as did several historic buildings in the city's core.
The arrival of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta proved to be the spark needed to resurrect the area, though. Impac Hotel Group purchased the Rhodes-Haverty building and initiated $8.5 million in renovation efforts that converted the former office tower into a 160-suite Residence Inn by Marriott hotel.
The new hotel opened in 1996, just in time for the Olympics – it has operated successfully in downtown ATL ever since.

On The OBX
Alexandra & David June 19, 2017
There's Bodie and Ocracoke and Roanoke; the Islands. There's Hatteras and Lookout and Fear; the Capes. There's Currituck and Hatteras; the Lighthouses. There's Avon, Waves and Rodanthe; the Communities. There's Corova and Coquina and Duck; the Beaches. There's Albermarle and Pamlico; the Sounds.
They are part of the OBX. There's one highway that unites them all. And if there's a highway around you know our six wheels are out there adventuring on it.
"The weather's looking nice for the next few days" said Dave, "Maybe we should plan to go now? There's a nasty system coming in after that!"
"Let's get going, then" I replied, as I quickly prepped MoHo for the road ahead.
Whether cruising on our boat or driving the highways, we're always and ever mindful of how weather affects our daily lives and routing. We were hoping for an awesome adventure ahead of us and certainly didn't want to spend our days windswept away with umbrella in hand.
A quick phone call to the NCDOT and a totally affordable $30 credit card payment later had us confirmed on the two hour ferry from Cedar Island to Ocracoke that same afternoon. We were the only RV in sight as we embarked a few hours later. The time passed quickly as we explored, chatted with the crew who were curious about our Unity IB, and even had a nap in the cozy comfort of our home.
As we got closer to Ocracoke the skies were bluer than blue, the shallow waters around us calm, and the Air fresh with Sea and Salty smells.
"The Outer Banks. Hmm, what an odd name…" I mused out loud.
"Sounds like that TV show" quipped Dave. "That science fiction twilight zone one?"
"Right! The Outer Limits…" I responded. "I used to watch that all the time…" And would you believe that, at that precise moment in time, we heard the ferry captain broadcast on the ferry speakers: "Please stand by…" We laughed out loud, and eagerly inhaled the anticipation of our arrival at the Outer Banks.
Located off the coast of North Carolina/Virginia, the Outer Banks (OBX) are a chain of barrier islands separated from the mainland by the sounds on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. As you might imagine, they're exposed and weather beaten by either landfall or offshore ocean storms. Not to mention that this is one of the most hurricane prone areas north of Florida, resulting in the coastal waters around this area being named the "Graveyard of the Atlantic". Now you know why, even though we were driving, we were being a tad weather cautious.
And what unites them all? NC Highway #12. The OBX Highway is a 130 mile long, two lane wide road and includes one (free) ferry and a bridge that drives you from one end of this incredible and very narrow chain of (is)land(s) to the other. Exploring it all, one mile at a time.
Please stand by. You are about to adventure with us … on the Outer Banks.
Standing by on the islands are lighthouses! Five of them to be exact. All of them gorgeous, but this one? Incredible. With its black and white candy cane type of stripe leading 208 feet high, where at the top the beacon of a light shines 20 miles into the horizon of an ocean on one of the most treacherous Capes in the world.
4 minutes and 19 seconds. That's the time it took us to climb the the 260 some stairs to the top. Why? Well, it was a bit of a dare from friends! We wore (yikes) flip flops, and please no running! Our journey upwards had us stopping twice–once to chat briefly with the ranger, and the other? To catch our breath.
The ranger later affirmed that they train regularly on these stairs, as they need to be able to run up them should a crisis happen. Her best time? Ten seconds more than ours. So we did OK, right?
Outside on the tower, breathing in the blustery salty wind, we stood by gasping at the views of the marshlands and over yonder, at the eternal ocean-ended horizon. And at the very obvious trail that, in 1999, was landscaped into the geography as a 700 foot rail system moved the lighthouse, in its entirety, about 2900 feet inland.
In Nags Head we discovered sand, and lots more than just beaches of it. The landscape here is one of the things that never just stands by.
The State Park here is called Jockey's Ridge and is home to 420 acres of expansive flats and mounds of sand, and also the tallest natural sand dune system in the Eastern U.S. We walked for a long time, and wondered why it was named Jockey's Ridge.
"Jockeys? As in relation to horses?" asked Dave.
"I guess that way back the people who lived here captured the wild ponies and raced them on these sands" I replied. "People came to watch the races, staying out of the way up here on the ridge and voilà…Jockey's Ridge."
Walking on the beige coloured medanos (massive, asymmetrical, shifting hills of sand lacking vegetation) we were in total awe at the immenseness of what we were experiencing. And wondered, as the wind picked up, about sand storms.
"Did you know that there is a local putt putt course that got buried under one of these mounds?" I said to Dave.
"Hmm…" he replied, as he looked around. "I wonder where…"
Whilst we never did find any buried mysteries we did notice some people on top of one the mounds off in the distance. Hang Gliders just standing by. Bravely facing into the wind, waiting for that giant leap of faith that would propel them into the skies.
It is on Kill Devil Hill in Nags Head that on December 17 1903, another 12 second leap of faith made history. Where for the first time a machine left the ground by its own power, moved forward under control without losing speed, and landed on a point as high as that from which is started.
Why here? This area was private and sheltered from crowds, and provided strong and consistent winds. And the sand? Made for a soft landing. Here Orville and Wilbur tested and retested, calculated and recalculated, built and rebuilt their ideas. And definitely climbed and re-climbed Kill Devil Hill countless number of times each and every single day, in anticipation that one day, one trial, one improvement…it might all just fly.
Where today at the very top of Kill Devil Hill, we humbly stood by the 60 feet tall Wright Brothers Monument in awe at their accomplishment, and wondered…
Which one of the brothers would you have been? Would you have been the one to test drive your very own creation? Or would you have stood on the ground watching it all unfold in the skies in front of you.
These are just some of our Adventures on the OBX. Thanks for tuning in. We now return control of your computer screen back to you. Please stand by…for our next adventure. On On!

Dreaming 'til Dawn
Growing up in a small Midwest town in Ohio has been a blessing and a struggle for pop singer and songwriter, Kevin Daniel. "I've always been a bit restless, with a curiosity for the unknown, but I've really had to step out of my comfort zone to find those experiences." Raised in a family where music and creativity were always encouraged, Kevin took to classical piano at age four. Twenty years later that curiosity has yielded quite a range of experiences including competing as a Division I athlete in Cross-Country & Track while in college, accepting a scholarship to study at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, and a three month sojourn to the East coast of Australia, all the while unsure of where his place in the music industry should be. The decision to focus on becoming a performing musician, ironically, came while he was halfway around the world. "Traveling around Australia was sort of the catalyst for it all. I was meeting so many great people from around the world and one of the first things people would want to know is 'where are you from and what do you do there?' It was strange to hear myself saying that I've been pursuing music my entire life, yet I was unsure about what to do next. Most of the people I met who were traveling were doing so because they had no idea what they wanted to do with their life. I was forced to see that my reservations and fears about fully committing to music were holding me back. I started to feel an overwhelming sense of urgency to come home and make something happen." Five months later, Kevin was flying to Los Angeles to record an EP with platinum award-winning producer, Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five For Fighting, Angel Taylor). The result is a collection of six songs penned by Daniel, whose style is both unique and enjoyably familiar. His catchy melodies and distinct voice are a perfect compliment to his honest and sincere approach to songwriting. The forthcoming EP will be available on iTunes as well as through his website.
Whether he's exciting current fans with new material or silencing a noisy venue full of strangers, it is safe to say that Kevin Daniel has the ability to make an impact on every listener he encounters. Be sure to look for the EP this fall and join the rapidly growing fanbase from all over the world already keeping tabs on this promising young musician.

BIO Olive OILBenedett_Admin2019-09-16T00:44:51+02:00
In an area with a very high olive growing vocation, at 500 mt. of altitude, where the terroir perfectly matches the dictates of organic farming, our work, defined as heroic and we want it slow, far from the rhythms of industrial production, allows us to produce an oil with low acidity, intact and loaded with polyphenols.
"The Benedettini" Organic extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively from the pressing of the olives harvested in the farm's olive groves, where the main cultivars present are the rotondella and the campanicchia.
The "rotondella" is a native variety whose name derives from its spherical shape; the plant of medium vigor with upright posture, shows a thick and gathered head, resistant to low temperatures and drought. Its habitat is in the hilly areas at a height of 400-500 meters s.l.m., in rocky soils mainly exposed to the south. In these optimal conditions the plant does not need special treatments except for pruning and fertilizing. The cultivar, mainly bred with a free pot, is highly appreciated for its productivity and the quality of the oil.
The "campanicchia", cultivar ancestor of today's mill, is a plant of medium vigor with a pendulous and open habit, with thin and flexible fruiting branches. The drupes, ovoid-shaped, elongated, have sparse lenticels but are clearly visible and their maturation is late with a good yield in oil, very fragrant and fruity; the peculiar productive characteristics make it a very valuable and irreplaceable cultivar.
The olives are harvested when they are partially darkened, placed in special perforated boxes and taken to the mill where they are pressed within a few hours. The "cold" extraction process takes place with a modern continuous cycle plant, with Thermo controlled processing temperatures, necessarily lower than 27°/28°C.
The final product is a green blend with golden yellow reflections.
A fruity of medium olive that expresses a light fragrance of herbaceous with hints of fresh apple and almond.
On the palate the notes of bitter and spicy are present in equal measure and do not disturb, providing a balance of merit. It shows an excellent fluidity that leaves the mouth immediately clean.
An Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Organic Farming with excellent parameters to satisfy the consumer attentive to natural flavors.

and the taste of a delicious chocolate cake.
and the happy smile of a barking dog.
and miss Dixons brains being eaten by a camel.
and a prince in some mud.
and rainbow coloured carpet for lining.
I shall use my box as a rocket and fly to the moon were I will meet a chocolate cake monster who will tell me how to make the most delicious chocolate cake in the world!

Het Philips van Lenneppark is een groot park in het westen van Eindhoven.

Het park ligt in het stadsdeel Strijp, in de wijk Lievendaal. Het park is genoemd naar de vrouw van Frits Philips, Sylvia Philips van Lennep en was oorspronkelijk bedoeld als industriegebied, maar in 1966 is het park tot stand gekomen en ter ere van het 75-jarige jubileum van Philips aan de inwoners van Eindhoven geschonken. Het park is aangelegd door de Nederlandse Heidemaatschappij, naar een ontwerp van Frans Fontaine, directeur van de Plantsoenendienst van de gemeente Eindhoven. In dit park is o.a. een kinderboerderij, speeltuin, tennisbaan, rozentuin en skatepark.
