I was sorry to read that most of these titles are not licensed for English publication. Surely there are titles with strong female leads where we can support the author and purchase the manga. Many people might know titles like Wave, Listen to Me!, Nodame Cantabile, Chihayafuru, Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, Nana, Paradise Kiss, or Princess Jellyfish but at least these can be purchased and are great manga worth reminding people that the story is more in depth as a manga compared to the anime.

Nymphéa est une œuvre pour quatuor à cordes et électronique de la compositrice finlandaise Kaija Saariaho, composée en 1987. Elle a été créée le  par le Kronos Quartet à New-York.

L'œuvre
Commande du Lincoln Center pour le Kronos Quartet, la pièce est inspirée par Les Nymphéas de Claude Monet, mais aussi par les images visuelles de la forme, de la couleur et de la symétrie de la plante et de ses déformations lors de ses déplacements sur l'eau.

Elle comprend des parties murmurées d'un poème d'Arseni Tarkovski présent dans le film Stalker. Ce sont des extraits de ce poème traduits en anglais qui sont murmurés en direct par les musiciens, et qui sont traités électroniquement par un délai, qui les rend incompréhensibles mais les intègre à la texture de la pièce. Le dispositif numérique permettant la réalisation de l'arrangement électronique est assuré par Jean-Baptiste Barrière.

Nymphea fait partie du cycle Jardin secret, troisième numéro. Les deux premiers sont Jardin secret pour bande (1984) et Jardin secret II, pour clavecin et bande (1984).

La durée d'exécution est d'environ 20 minutes.

("Relay") (CSE: RELA, OTCQB: RYMDF, Frankfurt: EIY2), a developer of MedTech innovation, jointly referred to as the "Partners", are pleased to announce the execution of an asset sale agreement ("Agreement") to transfer a suite of technology assets including the cannabis Smart Consumption System from Relay Medical Corp. to Glow LifeTech Ltd. ("Glow").
The technology assets relate largely to the Smart Consumption System ("SCS") currently being developed by Relay Medical to provide users and healthcare professionals with a medical grade, connected hardware/software product line to assist with effective management, storage, curation and consumption of cannabis related products. The storage product provides in-home secure, and environmentally controlled storage and guides dispensing and dosing for all cannabis delivery methods.
The system includes advanced management features for patient-caregiver interaction as well as an AI-driven engine, which can provide doctors and the pharmaceutical industry with valuable information on patient responses to cannabis products and to provide cannabis producers with market intelligence and the information to conduct post-market surveillance of their products.
Glow Lifetech is currently a private company founded by the Partners in December 2018 (See press release dated December 20, 2018) to develop technologies to service the rapidly growing global cannabis sector. On April 4, 2019, the Partners jointly announced the signing of a binding letter of intent ("LOI") to bring Glow public by way of reverse takeover ("Transaction").
Under the terms of the agreement, Relay has sold a suite of technology assets relating to the development and licensing of cannabis related medical technologies. In consideration, Glow has issued 6,350,000 shares to Relay resulting in Relay holding approximately 63.5% of Glow prior to the anticipated completion of a private placement and go-public transaction.


A claim in connection with the drafting of a sales agreement for the sale of land that was likely to be granted planning permission depended on expert evidence. The expert of one party indicated he was no longer prepared to continue and that was a good reason for the party not to proceed with him as an expert. In such circumstances the part should have been permitted to rely on another expert.


Since 1967, thousands of individuals have undergone a gastric bypass surgical procedure to assist them in losing a great deal of weight. Reserved for individuals that are considered extremely obese, meaning that they weigh more than 100 pounds over the ideal weight for their age and height, the surgery has returned mobility and improved the health of numerous individuals across the world. What many individuals fail to realize is that there are a great deal of complications and risks associated with a gastric bypass as well.
Gastric bypass surgery is considered a last resort method of weight loss for individuals that are severely overweight. Many of these individuals have been following strict diet and exercise regiments for years without seeing any significant weight loss and the procedure can only be approved by a licensed physician that has conducted a complete physical and mental evaluation of the individual to be sure that gastric bypass surgery is right for them. The methods of determining who should undergo a gastric bypass are so strict because of the large number of complications that may occur after the surgery.
The initial method of gastric bypass surgery, known as a loop gastric bypass, was abandoned by physicians because of the severe complications that were associated with the method. It was found that the loop gastric bypass sometimes allowed corrosive fluid from the small intestine to flow into the stomach and the esophagus, causing inflammation, ulceration, and burns. Using a Y-junction instead of a loop to connect the stomach to the small intestine was found to be much safer for the patient although it is more difficult for the surgeon to create.
The currently used methods of gastric bypass also have a large number of complications associated with the surgical procedures. It has been estimated that nearly 40% of the individuals that have a gastric bypass will experience adverse complications within the first six months after their surgery. The high rate of complications in individuals that have had the surgery is the main reason why access to the surgical procedure is so restricted.
A common complication that seems to occur in individuals that have undergone a gastric bypass is that the surgical staples used in the procedure and the stapler that is used to place the staples in their proper place can malfunction, causing fluid to leak out of the gastro-intestinal track into the abdominal cavity. Because the fluids that are found in the gastro-intestinal track are generally extremely corrosive, the leakage of these fluids can cause a great deal of damage to the body, resulting in the hospitalization of the patient. The US Food and Drug Administration has received approximately 9,000 reports of serious complications and 100 reports of deaths associated with the failure of the staples and staplers used in the procedures.
Other complications that may occur after a gastric bypass include infections, hernias, excessive bleeding or hemorrhaging, and nutritional deficiencies which can cause a wide range of other complications, many of them considered serious. Many of the complications that can occur after a gastric bypass require the patient to be hospitalized for the duration of the treatment and monitored for a period of time afterward to ensure that the problem has been resolved. It is important for an individual that has undergone a gastric bypass to seek medical help as soon as they feel that something within their body is not right, as the longer the problem is allowed to go oh the harder it will be to treat.

Should You Use Your Rainy Day Fund for Medical Bills?
Conventional wisdom says it's smart to save up for unexpected expenses, like covering the basics after a job loss or settling medical bills after an emergency treatment. But because the costs of medical care can be so unpredictable — and often so wildly expensive — should you even try to save up for them and tap your rainy day reserve when they occur?
Financial planners say you should set aside money for medical expenses — expected or unexpected — so if anything happens, you will at least have a cushion. But it's not a good idea to drain your emergency fund on hospital bills so large that your emergency fund won't cover all of it.
First, you should reach out to the hospital or doctor. Many medical institutions actually provide low-interest or even no-interest payment plans for patients who cannot pay bills — particularly big hospital bills — in full.
"Anyone whom you owe money to is a good place to start with: Is there some kind of financing they could provide?" says Catherine Hawley, a certified financial planner in California.
But you have to ask; this isn't something hospitals are advertising.
Guevara says his family got a medical bill for more than $11,000 a few years ago after his wife had an emergency surgery. The couple called the hospital, asking if they could work out a payment plan, and the hospital agreed to a one- or two-year plan with no interest after an initial $4,000 payment.
"If there's no interest, why not to spread it out a little bit more?" Guevara asks. He chose to pay off the hospital costs over two years.
It's also possible to negotiate a lower bill with hospitals and doctors.
Guevara says some of his friends who didn't have health insurance coverage have successfully done this. They explained their predicament while showing the willingness to pay in cash, and the hospital not only reduced the amount they needed to pay, it also provided payment plans.
"For a hospital, it's better to collect something than collecting nothing," Guevara says.
Here is a guide to getting your hospital bill reduced or even eliminated.
When a huge, unexpected medical bill arrives, your emergency fund may not come close to covering it. Still, financial advisers suggest you save some money for such emergencies and tap part of your rainy-day fund when needed.
To come up with the $4,000 to cover part of his wife's surgery costs, Guevara had to take $1,000 out of the family emergency fund, in addition to using funds from their Health Savings Account (HSA).
Guevara suggests that, as a rule of thumb, no more than half of your emergency fund should be applied to expensive health care costs.
For those who feel reluctant to touch their rainy-day cash for medical emergencies, Hawley recommends you learn what your out-of-pocket maximum is — the most you have to pay for health care services in a plan year — and include that amount in your fund. After you hit your out-of-pocket max, your insurance company covers your health care costs for the rest of the year.
If you anticipate a lot of medical bills in the coming year or have a personal or family history of medical problems, you might want to set aside separate money so you can preserve your emergency fund as much as possible, Hawley advises.
The money you put into an HSA is tax-deductible. The balance grows tax-free and rolls over each year. Withdrawals from your HSA for qualified medical expenses are not taxed.
The annual maximum HSA contribution in 2018 is $3,450 for an individual and $6,900 for a family. If you are at age 55, you can contribute an additional $1,000 annually.
"For very high medical bills, it's not going to be the only answer, but it could be a nice piece of the puzzle," Hawley says.
When a surprising hospital bill arrives, instead of paying for it in cash, Guevara suggests you take the money out of savings account and deposit it into your HSA first. Paying the medical bill with an HSA helps you save money, because then you can deduct that contribution on your income tax return.
An FSA (Flexible Spending Account) can be similarly helpful, though it can be tricky to decide how much to put in such an account: FSA funds must be used by the end of the year.
Before resorting to credit cards or other types of loans, look for ways to pay bills without having to take on interest-bearing debt. You may not like the idea of asking for help, but a loan from a family member or friend may be your most affordable option.
Replenish your fund after withdrawals so you're prepared for future unexpected costs.
A drastic lifestyle change may also be needed so that you could redirect more of your money to pay down the medical debt. If you "don't need a car as much as they used to, sell that, or maybe find other ways to increase your earnings," Andrews says.

After providing login credentials to your insurance portal, Remedy's team of medical billing contractors begin reviewing the claims you've paid over the last year and automatically detect new ones as they become available. All customers must sign a release-of-information form that allows Remedy to review their medical bills and negotiate on their behalf. The startup is not covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which aims to protect the confidentiality and security of healthcare information. As Echevarria put it, "we're a personal representative that's allowed to act on your behalf." Remedy faxes a release to providers saying the patient gave them permission.
Customers can log in to Remedy's desktop or mobile site to view any progress on bills; they also receive weekly email updates. When customers leave the service, Echevarria said Remedy deletes its access to all providers and sends them a notice of termination that Remedy is no longer working on the customer's behalf.
As with any online service that accesses your personal data, it's important to read the fine print carefully before you sign up. For its part, Echevarria said Remedy runs a background check on all the medical billing contractors it works with, and though it is not a HIPAA-covered entity, "we treat your data as if we were." He added, "all of your data is encrypted," and "nothing can be downloaded to local machines." In other words, Remedy contractors "can only access data while they're working on a case," he explained.

You can do a lot of fun stuff with a quarter of a million dollars. That kind of money would buy a ridiculously fancy car. You could pamper yourself for years by taking lavish vacations. Or, you could raise a child.
It costs $245,340 to raise a child born in 2013 through the age of 18, according to the most recent estimate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Factor in projected inflation, and that figure climbs to $304,480.
But that figure doesn't include a pretty crucial aspect of the whole "having a kid" thing — the cost of giving birth.
Newlyweds Michael and Aileen Andello are expecting their first child in September, and when they started researching the medical expenses associated with childbirth, they were shocked.
"They are literally charging for every little thing," Aileen said. After a few months of routine visits to the doctor, the Andellos started to see how much they'd have to pay before they even had a child. As new parents, they're eager to make sure everything is going well, but they're also learning that each test and extra ultrasounds add to the bill. For many reasons, they're thrilled to be expecting a healthy baby. They recently found out they're having a little girl.
"If you aren't having the perfect pregnancy, it's going to cost so much more," Aileen said.
Figuring out exactly how much child birth will cost is incredibly difficult. Not only is every pregnancy different, but so is every insurance policy. That's what really caught the Andellos off guard.
Aileen, 25, is still on her dad's insurance. They didn't realize he has a high-deductible plan.
The insurance has a $6,450 deductible, and the patient is responsible for 30% of the bills covered by insurance.
The Andellos aren't strangers to the costs of adult life — they just bought a house in November.
For the Andellos, the deductible will mostly be met by the time their daughter is born. (Unfortunately, that financial break comes because one of Aileen's family members needs surgery.) Still, they're trying to figure out how to budget for the out-of-pocket expenses, which can be difficult to predict.
Like the Andellos have learned, every little medical service has a price. When you're in the middle of having a baby, it can be hard to think about finances when you're confronted with so many choices, like if you want a certain test or an extra pair of socks.
But pregnancy has an advantage many medical procedures do not: Time to plan.
"The second the test is positive go and talk to whoever you're going to look to to deliver the baby and ask for a written estimate," said Sarah O'Leary, founder of ExHale Healthcare Advocates. Though you probably already have a primary care doctor and OB-GYN, consider researching multiple providers and what they'll charge you for childbirth.
Michael, Aileen, family and friends.
The process starts by finding a health care provider in your insurance network and calling to confirm that the doctor has an active contract with your insurance, said Adria Goldman Gross, president of Medwise Insurance Advocacy. Ask for cost estimates, compare them with the average costs in your area for the same procedures (you can research that online), and once you've settled on who is delivering your baby and where the delivery will occur, get everything in writing.
You'll also want to make sure you have a solid understanding of your pregnancy coverage, so you're prepared for what you'll have to pay out of pocket. O'Leary recommends calling your insurance provider so you can ask questions as the policy is explained to you.
In addition to getting the estimates, make it clear with your health care provider that you want "everyone who touches you" to be in your insurance network, O'Leary said. She also recommends you establish with your doctor that you only want to receive what is medically necessary, to avoid having to pay for any charge your insurance may not cover.
The Andellos still have a few months left in this process, and they said what they've learned so far has made them more mindful of the financial aspects of pregnancy. They want to have a few kids, but maybe not as close together as they previously thought they would.

Wednesday marked the sixth anniversary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — commonly known as Obamacare — being signed into law, and the battle over its various elements continues to be waged as vigorously as ever.
Perhaps one of the biggest points of contention is the so-called individual mandate, which stipulates that most Americans have qualifying healthcare coverage in place or pay a fee for the period they are uninsured.
Some view the mandate as a yet another example of a meddlesome federal government interfering in a personal decision. Others are grateful for coverage they would otherwise be unable to afford. And while the individual mandate is viewed by many as the motivating reason for obtaining this insurance in the first place, there is another important consideration to take into account.
Healthcare is like any other business: After all is said and done, providers need to collect enough revenues to make it possible to continue doing what they're doing.
Healthcare is also complicated in that there is surfeit of procedures with costs that require quantifying and prices that are often individually negotiated between providers and payers.
Therein lies the rub: The extent to which a payer—you, me, insurance companies, employers, the government—is able to bargain down that price to an acceptable level.
As you might expect, providers don't always readily share that information among patients and their intermediaries. Nevertheless, the fact that these discounts—which are known as contractual allowances (the difference between what a provider bills and the sum it's willing to accept in full payment)—is as important a reason as any to have insurance, as the following personal experience will illustrate.
A little more than a month ago, my wife underwent some testing on an outpatient basis in a hospital setting. Although the medical center typically charges $3,700 for the procedure, its billing department applied a $1,700 "insurance adjustment" against that amount—presumably in keeping with the pricing agreement the institution and our insurer have in place for the current year—and billed us for the difference (because we hadn't yet met our plan's annual deductible).
This wasn't a singular occurrence. Every one of the healthcare-related invoices we receive is adjusted to take into account the discounted prices our insurance carrier has successfully negotiated with each of our healthcare providers.
When the statement arrived in the mail, I called the hospital's billing department to arrange for payment. Sure, I could have done this online or snail-mailed a check, but I decided a sizeable bill warranted a conversation.
The billing clerk was nice enough. After we talked a bit about the charge and the insurance adjustment, he politely asked how much I was in a position to pay at this time.
So, with equal politeness, I responded by asking if he was in a position to give me a reason to pay my bill in full, then and there.
As it turns out, he gave me 400 good ones—a 20% discount on my $2,000 balance.
My little story has two takeaways: Complain all you like about a healthcare system that charges different prices to different payers or a law that some consumers and businesses view as unfair. Until either or both of these conditions change, the best course of action is to use one against the other: the discounts your insurance carrier has negotiated versus the charges your healthcare providers would otherwise bill.
Don't forget to attempt a little bargaining of your own.

There is almost always room to negotiate, and in some cases you can get your bill reduced by as much as 90%, or even forgiven completely.
You may not have known that many hospitals – non-profits in particular – have financial assistance programs specifically designed to help people pay for medical care they wouldn't normally be able to afford.
The first is if you're uninsured. In many cases, simply being uninsured can result in an automatic bill reduction, no matter your income. Those with lower incomes may qualify for even bigger reductions.
The second is if you are insured but your insurance only covers part of the cost. The lower your income and the more of your bill you're responsible for, the more likely it is that you'll qualify for assistance.
If you find yourself in one of those situations, there are two types of assistance you might be eligible for.
The first is a bill reduction, or potentially even total forgiveness. This redditor got a $12,000 bill reduced to $1,500 by simply contacting the hospital's billing department, and there are other stories in that thread from people with similar experiences. In general, the more difficult your circumstances the more you may get forgiven.
The other type of assistance that most hospitals offer is a payment plan with 0% interest. These programs are often offered without any eligibility requirements, meaning anyone can enroll. And while they don't reduce your bill, they can make it easier to afford by spreading it out over a period of months instead of requiring a big payment up front.
In some cases you may be able to use a combination of the two by qualifying for a reduction and then paying the reduced bill over a number of months.
To figure out who to contact, first look at your bill. There should be a phone number for the billing department right on it, and you can call them up and ask about financial assistance.
If that doesn't work, just Google "your hospital" + "financial assistance". That should bring you directly to their financial assistance program with contact information to get you started.
From there, simply follow their instructions and provide the information they need. Though Melanie Lockert, the founder of Dear Debt who three years ago had a $1,600 bill completely forgiven, acknowledges that the process can take some time.
If you run into any issues or are having trouble understanding your bills or organizing your financial situation, you might consider reaching out to a non-profit credit counseling service for help. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) is a good place to start.
What if you don't qualify for a bill reduction, or if the bill isn't reduced by as much as you'd like? What are your options then?
You may be able to negotiate a lower bill, especially if you can pay up front in cash.
Another strategy is to research the average cost of the care you received using sites like Healthcare Bluebook, or even calling up other local hospitals. If your hospital is charging you more, you could use that information as leverage for getting your bill reduced.
The bottom line is this: you have a number of options when it comes to reducing your hospital bill. In many cases, the simple act of asking can save you a lot of money.
