Shey Ki? Eyi Ki Bolchen aapni? CSK ar Fair Play? Ora 2 bochchor cheating Korey out chchilo IPL theke.
That photo is the previous ball I think. This was the one with the no ball called.
Every team does fixing-vixing in IPL.
I have actually heard IPL is scripted drama LMAO.
They are playing with conviction while MI has to cheat to win it.
Dumbo...he landed the foot on the crease and extended it beyond the line during point of delivery. It was not a no ball.
I think CSk strategy is good too. CSK cheats and fix to reach to the final and finally they meet a team with impeccable integrity, the one and only Mumbai Indians in the finals and so show their real aukat in the finals with no fixing or cheating to help. No wonder they become phusky (hollow) from chusky in the finals. I feel sad for fans like you. Live an untrue dream for an entire IPL built on cheating and fixing.
2 years ban, which team? Proven cheater, cheating super kings.
power of the money ..
bambis went way too low to win something by banning us , filing case against us etc ..
Uncle Laloo is pakistani gujju bandwagon fan. Don't expect him to understand the basic laws of cricket.
The bambis, the ipl, and even the whole country runs on bambani money. No surprise. Serial cheaters!
I don't think you understand the meaning of the word 'proven'.
In the real world, you posting a 1000 times Bambani, phixers, cheating, mafia, pakistani bandwagoners doesn't amount to proof.
Exactly. What is proven is that the Chuskies got banned for 2 years of Fixing.
Also proven that Chuskies can't even watch Home matches in their own city because of their own stupidity.
What was proven was that CSK was banned for 2 years because the owner was proved to be involved in betting which is illegal in India. No fixing was involved which was proven after a thorough investigation.
So as you guys mention, just talk about what is proven. The only franchise that was proved to be involved with fixing is Rajasthan Royals.
Yeah! Keep believing it. Proved fixing allegation would have been huge blow to IPL. Too much money involved for a so called thorough investigation.
This isn't entirely correct. I know that most posts on this thread are troll posts , but your post here warrants a serious reply. I'll try and keep it short.
To put it simply, the act of fixing is done by the cricketers. After all if a cricketer refuses to fix no matter what he gets as a financial reward, there can be no fixing. Everyone else is basically tried under the Prevention of Corruption Act (1988). Under current legal nomenclature, only public servants are under the ambit of the said act. So cricketers too have to bought under the Public Servants umbrella. But cricketers/ cricket administrators do not actually do any public service and hence aren't public servants.
On the case of Meiyappan, there was a concerted attempt by him to ask his bookies to fix an over/few deliveries. One of the bookies who squealed on him was Vindoo Dara Singh. Did he try to fix and hence 'cheat' the viewing populace? Yes he did try. The intent ( the primal decider of quantum and nature of legal punitive action) was obviously there. But, is he a public servant? Can he be tried under the Prevention of Corruption Act? Not really. So Meiyappan was charged with other smaller charges and banned for life. So whenever there is an amendment and cricketing admins/owners are included ( illogical as it may be) under the ambit of public servants, Meiyappan is likely to face the charges again and could face jail time. Very unlike, but plausible.

Even if that is the case, players have not been proved to be involved in fixing, right? It is just like the case of Mianded accusing Sachin that he knew everything about the fixing going on at the time of Fixing sage.
As long as the cheating and fixing allegations are taken as trolling, it's fine. But when saying it has been proved (because it's not) that CSK players were involved in fixing, then that is what is wrong because that no longer is trolling but serious allegations of some of our great LOI players.
Nothing has come to the fore about CSK players agreeing to fix. In fact Vindoo Dara Singh said that he or other bookies didn't approach the players though Meiyappan wanted them to. But what is proven without doubt that Meiyappan intended and tried to fix. His general inefficiency meant that he failed in that too. Hence his life ban.
When did I say CSK players have been involved in fixing?
The other major legal issue CSK faced was the whole conflict of interest thing: Srini being chairman of BCCI and running the CSK Franchise.
Pant's 128,Hardik's bowling records, saab bachaal hai .
Don't take them (and IPL) seriously.
Bambanis has criminal record. They looted India so why this a surprise ? Bambi mafia has umpires in their pocket.
The entire IPL is scripted.
Not only Bambani, but every *ing franchise and player is into it.
Well yeah we will keep believing otherwise. Wake me up when we are banned for two years. You keep supporting that slimeball meyeppans and those other oily rats.
Lol, who is supporting Meyappan? We are CSK supporters, like how we all remained Team India supporters even after some buggers were proved to be involved in fixing.
Ambanis have way more money and power in India than Srinivasan can ever dream to have.
No way MI is getting banned.
But CSK was banned for 2 yrs. There is no smoke without fire. In MI case there is no smoke. Hehe.
Poor RR they have no option of winning this one. I predict the MoM for the umps.
Poor guys are going to get crushed under the skills of the umpires and broadcasters.
Cheating Super Kings at its best today.
Posted by UnknownGenius in the bambi vs RR thread. Cheats!!!
I swear to god, that 2nd last bouncer would've been given wide if any among RCB, RR or DD etc were bowling.
Also that clear wide which was not given, and than after that Rohit sharma signalling to keep bowling the same, had me in splits. As if saying, don't worry umpires are compromised, keep bowling wides.

We have less than a week until the Galaxy S6 is unofficially unveiled by Samsung, and on Sunday we'll know everything there is to know, but let's be honest – none of us like waiting. Fortunately, T-Mobile has brought us an early look at the phone, courtesy of the Twitter account of T-Mobile CEO John Legere.
The purpose of the tweet was to announce that T-Mobile would be carrying the Samsung Galaxy S6, but the picture is the far more exciting news. It shows the curved display that we've been expecting, which makes it look like the Note Edge, but remember that the Galaxy S6 is going to curve on both sides of the screen, not just the one. It looks like it sports a metal backside, too, so no more faux leather.
Remember, Sunday is the big, official reveal of The Next Big Thing, and these pictures are the perfect tease to get us through the week.

Joel Tucker, White Supremacist Gang Member with Killer Kracker Pride and Affiliated with Ghost Face Gangster, Pleads Guilty in Project Safe Neighborhoods Case #Georgia
A documented member of a white supremacist organization that is sometimes affiliated with the Ghost Face Gangsters pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm in a Project Safe Neighborhoods case.
Joel Nelson Tucker, 32, of Moultrie, Georgia, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon before U.S. District Judge Louis Sands on Tuesday, April 19. Tucker faces a maximum ten years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release and a maximum $250,000 fine. Sentencing is set for July 27, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. before Judge Sands. There is no parole in the federal system.
"Our region's most violent and repeat offenders who continue to possess firearms illegally will be held accountable at the federal level," said U.S. Attorney Peter D. Leary. "Through the Project Safe Neighborhoods program, federal prosecutors are working with law enforcement agencies to concentrate enforcement efforts on violent career offenders in an effort to reduce crime and ultimately make our communities safer."
"Gang members like Tucker continuously plague our communities even after being charged and convicted of multiple crimes," said Philip Wislar, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. "The FBI is proud to work with our law enforcement partners to enforce federal laws that can provide serious prison time for criminals who refuse to learn from their mistakes and continue to possess firearms and endanger others."
According to court documents and other evidence, a Colquitt County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a citizen's call about two individuals driving a truck on property behind his residence, which had been the target of several recent thefts. The deputy recognized the driver as Tucker, who had outstanding arrest warrants, was a known convicted felon and had led deputies on a high-speed pursuit in recent months. Tucker, who was wearing a shoulder holster while seated in the front seat, gave a false name to the deputy. The officer saw a gun resting inches away from Tucker's right hand. When he asked the defendant to exit his vehicle, Tucker replied with an expletive and refused to get out of the truck. The deputy, who had called for law enforcement back-up, gave numerous commands for Tucker to exit the truck. Tucker failed to comply. Tucker moved his hand toward his holster and the deputy deployed his taser. Tucker was handcuffed by another responding deputy and was combative during the arrest.
Tucker, who is a convicted felon, was in illegal possession of a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 special revolver at the time of his arrest. Tucker was on probation at the time of the arrest and has multiple convictions in Colquitt County, Georgia, Superior Court, including for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and burglary. Tucker is a known and validated member the KKP (Killer Kracker Pride), a hybrid gang that originated in the Colquitt County Jail. KKP is a white supremacy organization that is sometimes affiliated with the Ghost Face Gangster.

Highly-Ranked Ghost Face Gangster Orders Beating from Prison @GBI_GA #MorningRushATL
A high-ranking member of the Ghost Face Gangsters faces several new charges after penning a letter from jail ordering the beating of another gang member on the outside, the GBI said.
Tyler Estes, 25, was charged with conspiracy to commit battery and two counts of violating Georgia's criminal street gang statute after a letter he sent from the Meriwether County jail was intercepted by deputies, the GBI said.
In the letter, which was allegedly written to another Ghost Face gang member, Estes touts his high-ranking status in the organization and orders the beating and expulsion of a third member for violating the gang's code of conduct, authorities said. Estes reportedly wanted the gang member punished for being disloyal and stealing money from fellow Ghost Face members, the GBI said.
In an interview, Estes allegedly confessed to being part of the gang and admitted writing the letter to orchestrate the physical attack, authorities said. He had been in the Meriwether jail on charges of probation violation and destruction of government property, special agent Fred Wimberly said.The Meriwether County Sheriff's Office is assisting the GBI with its investigation, which will be turned over to the Coweta Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office for prosecution.

Rickettsia africae in the West Indies
Epidemiology of R. africae
R. africae in the West Indies
Patrick J. Kelly*
Author affiliation: *Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis, West Indies
Rickettsia africae is the agent of African tick-bite fever, a mild but common disease of local persons and tourists in Africa. The major vector of this spotted fever group rickettsia is most likely Amblyomma variegatum, the tropical bont tick, which has become widely distributed through the West Indies in the last 30 years. This report reviews all available information on R. africae in the West Indies.
Rickettsia africae is a recently described spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia that is the agent of African tick-bite fever (ATBF), a mild but common tickborne disease of local persons and tourists, in particular, in sub-Saharan Africa. The clinical and laboratory features of ATBF have recently been reviewed (1), as has the diagnosis of the disease (2). In Africa, the tropical bont tick, Amblyomma variegatum, is commonly infected with R. africae and is likely the major vector of the organism (3). This tick was introduced from Africa (Senegal) into the West Indies (Guadeloupe) in the early 1800s but has only spread widely and become endemic on many islands in the last 30 years (4). This spread was probably due to an increase in the between-island movement of livestock, major hosts of A. variegatum (5), and the introduction and spread of the cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), a host of the immature stages of A. variegatum (5). Recent studies have demonstrated R. africae infections in A. variegatum, persons, and animals in the West Indies. In this report, the available information on R. africae in the region is reviewed.
Early studies in southern Africa showed the bont tick, A. hebraeum, was commonly infected with R. africae (6). In feeding experiments, R. africae was maintained transtadially and transovarially in A. hebraeum, and the tick transmitted the organism at each feeding stage (7). Cattle and goats are common hosts of A. hebraeum and, when infected with R. africae, show no clinical or laboratory signs of disease. They are, however, intermittently rickettsemic and may then be sources of infection for ticks (8,9). While A. hebraeum is the most common vector of R. africae in southern Africa, epidemiologic evidence indicates that A. variegatum is the predominant vector in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. This tick readily feeds on people (10,11) and is commonly infected with R. africae (16%–75%) in widely separated areas in Africa (6,12–14).
Although R. africae is widely distributed in Africa, and serosurveys have shown infections are extremely common in humans (up to 100%) (1), reports of ATBF in indigenous people are unexpectedly rare. This finding could be because they are generally infected at a young age, when the disease might be very mild or subclinical, and medical attention is not sought. Also, inoculation eschars are difficult to see in pigmented skin, and definitive diagnosis of ATBF requires sophisticated diagnostic tests not available in developing countries. The disease, however, is quite common in international travelers; up to 11% of visitors to disease-endemic areas have evidence of infection (15,16).
The first suspected cases of human spotted fever were reported from Guadeloupe in the 1960s (1). The patients had a history of tick bites and antibodies against SFG rickettsiae. Although rickettsiae were isolated from A. variegatum on the island, they were never definitively identified, and samples have been lost (17).
In 1998, Parola et al. (18) described a French woman who was bitten on the foot by a tick while visiting Guadeloupe. An erythematous nodule subsequently developed at the site as well as fever, elevated liver enzyme levels, and leukopenia. Serologic and adsorption studies suggested that she had been infected with R. africae. She recovered slowly when she was treated with doxycycline for 3 weeks. Subsequently, further human infections were documented on the island (19), and R. africae was detected in 27% of A. variegatum used for isolation experiments or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with rOmpA primers (20).
In 2002, Robinson et al. (21) used PCR with rOmpA and gltA primers to show that 84% of 75 A. variegatum collected from cattle in Antigua contained DNA of R. africae. In 2003, Kelly et al. (22) found 41% of A. variegatum from Saint Kitts and Nevis were positive for DNA of R. africae in PCRs in which rOmpA primers were used for the SFG rickettsiae. Positive ticks were found at 7 of 8 sites sampled, with prevalences varying from 14% to 71%. In the same year, Parola et al. (23) reported finding DNA of the ompA gene of R. africae in 7 (56%) of 12 A. variegatum tested from Martinique.
Although Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, the tropical/southern cattle tick, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, are widespread in the Caribbean (24), they have not been implicated as vectors of R. africae. PCR with rOmpA primers of 52 R. sanguineus and 16 R. microplus from Saint Kitts and Nevis did not show DNA of SFG rickettsiae (unpub. data). Similarly, SFG rickettsial DNA was not identified in 6 R. microplus and 11 R. sanguineus from Martinique (23) or in 6 R. microplus from Antigua (21).
The studies described show that A. variegatum is commonly infected with R. africae in the West Indies. In the only published serosurvey conducted in the region (20), high prevalences of antibodies to R. africae were found in Guadeloupean cattle (81%) and goats (87%), which are common hosts of A. variegatum (24). Antibodies to R. africae were also highly prevalent (49%) in local people from Guadeloupe. The prevalence in men was significantly higher than in women, possibly because men were more likely to be exposed while working outdoors. The West Indian population, then, appears to be commonly exposed to A. variegatum that transmits R. africae. As is the case in Africa, however, clinical cases of ATBF in local persons are unexpectedly rare; the only reported cases of ATBF contracted in the region have been in tourists (18,19).
Recently, programs have been introduced to eradicate A. variegatum from the Caribbean (25–27). The principal justification for the projects has been the economic loses to island economies caused by animal diseases associated with A. variegatum, mainly heartwater and dermatophilosis. Also of great concern have been the huge economic loses that would be anticipated if the tick and its animal diseases were introduced into South, Central, and North America (28,29). The programs have met with mixed success, and although some islands have been certified provisionally free of the tick, others remain infested or have reinfestations or recrudescences of A. variegatum. No attempts appear to have been made to control the populations of cattle egrets, which are hosts of A. variegatum and can migrate long distances, even as far as the Florida Keys (30).
Until A. variegatum is eradicated from the West Indies, local health workers and those treating persons who have traveled to the area should suspect ATBF in patients who seek treatment with a history of tick bites and clinical signs of fever, headache, and multiple eschars. Further, vigilance is required to prevent transportation of A. variegatum or rickettsemic animals to the mainlands of North, South, and Central America because this importation might enable R. africae and ATBF to become established in these areas. The potential impact of R. africae on the health of indigenous people and tourists in the West Indies and its potential introduction into the Americas further justifies the eradication of A. variegatum from the region.

DesignToUnite is a creative campaign designed by Clear. A call for contribution from the creative sector, it formed an opportunity for meaningful discourse around Reconciliation. Clear designed an identity which formed a call-to-action campaign, the main objective to encourage design studios, professionals and students to submit a design interpretation of the word "unite". Entries were submitted as poster designs with 170 design creatives contributing over 350 submissions. Nine finalists were selected–by an expert panel–to lead the campaign, announced at an exhibition event coordinated by Clear. DesignToUnite's live campaign–a nation-wide outdoor campaign shared across online and social–Took place over Reconciliation Week.
Using a disjointed "U" symbol as its main graphic–paired with a friendly colour palette and the wordmarque in a geometric typeface–the design is minimal and expressive, the language factual and succinct. The DesignToUnite brand was rolled out across digital communications, a website, outdoor media and on t-shirts, capturing the attention of real people while calling for prompt action from the design industry. The messaging encouraged inclusive conversation, uniting creatives in a common goal to create change.
The DesignToUnite brand is used to show solidarity with Australia's First Peoples. It demonstrated the power of design in communicating meaningfully to help important social causes. DesignToUnite aimed to bring to attention the important responsibility of white, middle-class Australians to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and enable Indigenous issues to be in focus, creating a platform for Indigenous voices to be heard. The initiative requested the attention, passion and involvement from the creative industry, Designers being key communicators and innovators in our society. The DesignToUnite campaign worked to encourage these influential leaders to demonstrate their dedication to creating a fair and just society.
DesignToUnite encouraged a special partnership between the design industry and Indigenous organisations, such as AGDA, Recognise and Reconciliation Australia. It has created an opportunity for design to directly encourage action and change behaviours on an important social issue. The project has encouraged meaningful discussions and ideas from other content creators and organisations wishing to become allies and contribute to the campaign again in future.
DesignToUnite partnered with oOh! Media, using their outdoor digital display network for the campaign. For the first time, the screens within shopping centres were all deployed using the same message in the same space, forming the 'gallery' effect. The DesignToUnite brand was driven by its medium, predominantly seen in short form communications – outdoor, EDM and online. Drawing inspiration from classic activism posters, the brand's narrative is concise and bold, the feature being motivation to create conversation and encourage involvement on a broad scale to benefit the cause–reconnecting the design industry with First Peoples issues, taking a stand.

Reuters, Paris Wednesday 29 January 2020
France said it welcomed US President Donald Trump's latest efforts to strike a peace deal between Israel and Palestine, and added that Paris would have to study the proposals closely.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed creating a Palestinian state as part of a Middle East peace plan, drawing Palestinian condemnation for imposing strict conditions and agreeing to let Israel maintain control of long-contested West Bank settlements.
"France welcomes President Trump's efforts and will study closely the peace program he has presented," said a statement from the French foreign ministry, which also reiterated France's desire for a two-state solution on Israel and Palestine.

Zoukei-Mura Horten Ho229 1:48
Super Wings Series No.3
Price around €60.00 (£46.00 GBP) January 2016
Review by Geoff Coughlin
Our thanks to Zoukei-Mura for supplying our review sample – check out their full page in SMN
What you have here is a highly detailed model of the famous Horten Ho229 'flying wing'. The box is packed with parts that enables you to build your model either within a clear plastic shell or to paint these and display certain panels open to reveal the extraordinary levels of detail within.
You may remember
Aaron Scott built a stunning interpretation of the ZM 1:32 shorten Ho229 and you may have seen that in the flesh at last year's IPMS UK Scale Model World? In any case, the full build of that incredible model is right here in Finished Now – see the Zoukei-Mura pages in Finished Now for that.
This new ZM 1:48 kit is very similar to its big sister in 1:32 and Aaron rated that kit very highly, certainly the best from ZM to date (parts-fit, detail) and so it bodes well for a good build now in the smaller 1:48 scale.
Here are a few pics of Aaron's completed 1:32 model – it will give you a good idea of what your Ho229 could look like. In case you are wondering, the wood-effect is largely from decals and Aaron explains how he achieved the look in his build (see above link).
The 1:48 Ho229 package
Here's a pic of the box contents – packed full as you can see plus a couple of pics from the box sides showing the completed manufacturer's model – nice isn't it and very similar in look and content to the larger 1:32 model.
Let's go inside
The parts breakdown is extensive and possibly a little overwhelming on first look but don't be deceived, Aaron says all does go together very well if you follow the instructions – I think ZM are a bit like Wingnut Wings in that respect – study the instructions carefully and follow the suggested assembly sequence and all should be well, which is more than you can say for many other manufacturers' instruction sheets which, if followed would be disastrous!
As you can see the whole interior has the potential to be visible (well, almost!) and irrespective of whether you are a fan of the 'transparent approach' or not, it matters not really, you just assemble and paint as you normally would.
All the detail is finely engraved with little or no excess flask on any parts.
The detail in the cockpit and engine assemblies is breathtaking and if you like detail (as I do) you cannot help but love what's on offer here.
It's hard to fault this kit – even the price at around the mid forties in pounds sterling offers very good value for the modelling time you will get from what's supplied.
Clear parts
Aside of what's been said above the canopy is crystal clear with no defects or blemishes.
Given the limited numbers of these aircraft actually built, a great attempt has been made to provide all the possible options for many more aircraft from various units that would have flown the type had hostilities gone on beyond 1945.
Instruction booklet
This is clear and offers clear guidance for colour painting and assembly sequence.

The Horten Ho229 – a little bit of background
The Horten H.IX, RLM designation Ho 229 (often called Gotha Go 229 because of the identity of the chosen manufacturer of the aircraft) was a German prototype fighter/bomber designed by Reimar and Walter Horten and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik late in World War II. It was the first pure flying wing powered by jet engines.
The design was a response to Hermann Göring's call for light bomber designs capable of meeting the "3×1000" requirement; namely to carry 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb) of bombs a distance of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) with a speed of 1,000 kilometres per hour (620 mph). Only jets could provide the speed, but these were extremely fuel-hungry, so considerable effort had to be made to meet the range requirement. Based on a flying wing, the Ho 229 lacked all extraneous control surfaces, lowering drag. It was the only design to come even close to the 3×1000 requirements and received Göring's approval. Its ceiling was 15,000 metres (49,000 ft).
Since the appearance of the B-2 Spirit flying-wing stealth bomber in the 1990s, its similarities in role and shape to the Ho 229 has led many to retrospectively describe the Ho 229 as "the first stealth bomber".[3] A static reproduction of the only surviving Ho 229 prototype, the Ho 229 V3, in American hands since the end of World War II was constructed in the very early 21st century and later tested by the U.S. military, who found the basic shape, paint and laminating adhesive composition of the mockup copy would provide for 37% reduction in detection range against the British Chain Home radar of the 1940s, but no significant stealth benefit against most other contemporary radar systems.

At the Indonesian consulate in Amsterdam ended the hostage taking by S. Mollucan terrorists. 25 hostages walked out, soon afterward their seven captors surrendered to Dutch police.
Shortly after noon last Friday, the bright flag of the self-proclaimed South Moluccan Republic—red, with green, white and red bars—was pulled back inside a window of the Indonesian consulate in Amsterdam. Minutes later, 25 hostages—ten women and 15 men, most of them Indonesian—walked out of the…

At week's end, South Moluccan gunmen who had taken over a railroad train finally surrendered after 13 days and released 23 hostages. Dutchmen grew more and more outraged.
In eastern Holland, dark-skinned parishioners were shocked and frightened when rocks shattered windows in their church. A 16-year-old Indonesian girl was attacked by young Dutch toughs.

The most enthusiastic advocates of Surinam's independence have been the Dutch. They are rapidly trying to unload the vestiges of its old colonial empire, an anachronistic embarrassment.
After four days of debate that often lasted until dawn, the parliament of the world's newest, and 156th, sovereign state unanimously approved a constitution. The staid, protocol-conscious assembly in Surinam's capital of Paramaribo erupted in cheers. Outside, a crowd waiting for the vote roared its approval and set off celebratory…

Can current television sets be equipped to play recorded programs that could be purchased and stored like so many hi-fi discs? Manufacturers have been competing for a decade to be first to provide a practical answer. Trouble is, both videotapes and films are too expensive to produce for the mass…

In Europe worker participation in management decision making is an established idea. In the NL, every firm with more than 100 employees must form a works council of up to 25 employees.
By instinct and tradition, U.S. labor unions have been content to leave the actual running of companies to management, preferring to stress the bread-and-butter issues of wages, hours and working conditions. But in Europe, worker participation in management decision making is an established idea that keeps spreading continually into more…

Aside from the comic-strip troops of Al Capp's Lower Slobbovia or the G.I.s who stumble through maneuvers at Camp Swampy with Beetle Bailey, the 70,000-man army of The Netherlands is probably the raunchiest-looking fighting force in the world.

There exists an argument in the world of design that rivals even the most aggressive political advisories. Moving ahead in the digital realm means one of two roads. Either we keep things functional and organic, or develop unique experiences by fostering invisible design. Ironically, sometimes having nothing can mean having it all. Interactive design is evolving constantly, but this great debate stands the test of time. Should we remain steadfast towards "old world" design, or move full steam ahead into invisible interfaces?
Case argues that data causes users unnecessary stress when it should make their lives easier. By creating designs that carry out functions that don't exist in real life, you make the user more powerful than the data, therefore relieving their stress. For example, why would users want to flip a page on a tablet when they can just flip a page of a real book? As traditional design advocates may argue, if the functionality is not intuitive THAT will cause the user stress. How will a consumer know how to use this if it's a completely new experience? So which one is best? As most marketing questions are answered - "it depends." It depends what you're creating and for whom. As present day helps to prove, structures of interactive design are disappearing in front of our eyes. Think about what a cell phone looked like and how it worked 10 years ago. Now look at your smartphone and see how many of those features have "disappeared." More functions lay within a smaller, smarter device. This moving trend towards invisible design proves that what you see is not always what you get.

If you were reading last year, you'll know I'm batty for citrus around the holidays. It's just so fresh and tasty this time of year.
So this is a fruitcake I can really get behind. Essentially a buttery poundcake filled with candied ginger and citrus, it's a far cry from the much-maligned shelf-stable drugstore version.
Although most fruitcake recipes call for store-bought candied fruit, it's really easy and economical to make your own, as I discovered last year. And yes, you can use the same method to make candid ginger. Works great.
1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 4 mini loaf pans or 4 large muffin cups, tapping out any excess flour.
2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, blend the butter and sugar, beating until creamy, about 1 minute.
3. Beat in the egg, the 4 teaspoons of brandy or liqueur and the citrus zest until just blended.
4. Sift together the flour and salt, beating the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just blended.
5. Fold in the almonds, figs, ginger and candied fruit.
6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans or cups, and fill any empty muffin cups halfway with water (to prevent uneven heating).
7. Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes for mini loaf pans or 35 minutes for the muffin cups.
8. Once baked, move the pans to a wire rack to cool. After ten minutes, take the cakes out of the pans and place directly on the wire rack. Brush with brandy or liqueur while they're still warm, then let the cakes cool completely.
9. To finish the cakes, soak squares of cheesecloth in the brandy or liqueur, wrap each cake with a square of damp cheesecloth, then wrap individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Chill the wrapped cakes in the refrigerator for at least 1 week.
10. To serve, bring the cakes to room temperature, slice and serve with mascarpone, fresh ricotta or cream cheese.
You'll have a few of these, so when it's time for gifting, unwrap the foil/plastic and cheesecloth, re-wrap to make it pretty and add a ribbon and a gift tag.
Since fruitcake has such a bad rep, you might want to call these something else. Brandy Cakes. Ginger-Citrus Cakes. Think of a nice alias. You can reveal the awful truth after they fall in love with these wee wonders.

The Code of Ethics and the associated Clark Center policies and procedures apply to virtually everyone who has a relationship to the Clark Center, including but not limited to, Board members, officers, employed and non-employed staff, vendors, volunteers, consultants and contractors.
Everyone must adhere to both the spirit and the letter of the standards of conduct set forth in the Code. Employee job performance will be evaluated, in part, based on compliance with the Code and with the Clark Center's compliance-related policies and procedures. Anyone who violates the Code or related policies and procedures will be subject to disciplinary action.
Certain Clark Center compliance policies are referenced in this Code. Employees have a duty to know, understand and comply with the requirements of all these policies, regardless of whether they are referenced in this Code.
governing laws, regulations and Clark Center policies and procedures. Everyone must offer their complete cooperation with any investigation by the Clark Center and/or governing authorities.
Ensuring compliance with the many laws, rules, regulations and industry standards that govern the operations of the Clark Center requires teamwork. For this effort to be successful, everyone who is employed by or affiliated with the Clark Center must work together. We cannot continue to act with honesty and integrity without your help. You are required to report to the Corporate Compliance Officer any actual or suspected violations of Clark Center policies and procedures and/or Federal or state law. You also must report any ethical breaches, conflicts of interest, fraud or other misconduct of any type relating to the operations of the Clark Center.
The failure to comply with the laws and/or to report suspected violations of state or Federal law can have very serious consequences for the Clark Center and for any affiliated individual who fails to comply or report. The individual may be terminated from employment (or from his/her contractual arrangement with the Clark Center) or be subject to other disciplinary measures, depending on the nature of the violation.
Reports of suspected compliance problems and perceived violations of the laws can be made to your supervisor or to the Corporate Compliance Officer.
The Clark Center's supervisors and directors have a special responsibility to set the right tone. They are responsible for making sure that their work areas reflect the Clark Center's commitment to compliance and quality healthcare. Supervisors and Directors are expected to create a work environment in which concerns can be raised and openly discussed without fear of retaliation. Even if an employee has criticisms or raises an uncomfortable question, supervisors and Directors must welcome the communication, always remembering that openness is essential to a healthy work environment.
The Clark Center maintains a vigorous Compliance Program and strives to educate our work force regarding the importance of submitting accurate claims and reports to Federal and state governments, as well as regarding the requirements, rights and remedies of Federal and state laws governing the submission of false claims, including the rights of employees to be protected as whistleblowers under such laws.
We recognize that questions, concerns or disputes sometimes arise. We believe that it is in the best interest of both our employees and the Clark Center to resolve those questions, concerns or disputes in a forum that provides the fastest and fairest method for resolving them. As a Clark Center employee or affiliated individual, you have an obligation to report concerns using the internal methods listed above and to understand the options available should your concerns not be resolved.
We do not permit anyone to retaliate in any manner against an individual who reports any potential compliance problem or violation of law in good faith. The Clark Center also prohibits anyone from intimidating an employee who discloses a compliance concern. The Clark Center will immediately investigate and take appropriate action with respect to all suspected acts of retaliation or intimidation. Any individual who is found to have retaliated against an employee or intimidated an employee will be subject to immediate discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
The Clark Center is committed to investigating all reported concerns promptly, thoroughly and confidentially, to the extent possible and appropriate. The Corporate Compliance Officer directs the investigation of compliance concerns. We expect all colleagues to cooperate with investigative efforts. Where an internal investigation substantiates a reported violation, we initiate corrective actions or other changes that need to be made in order to remedy the problem. These actions can include making prompt repayment of any overpayment amounts, notifying the appropriate government agency, instituting disciplinary action and implementing systemic changes to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.
Medicaid payments is required to provide information to its employees about the Federal False Claims Acts, the rights of employees to be protected as whistleblowers and the employer's policies and procedures for detecting and preventing fraud waste and abuse.
The Federal False Claims Acts impose liability on any person who submits a claim to the Federal government that he or she knows to be false. The Acts also impose liability on individuals who knowingly submit a false record in order to obtain payment from the government or who obtain money from the Federal government to which he or she is not entitled and then use false statements or records in order to retain the money. The Acts permit private parties to bring actions to recover money on behalf of the United States and to share in a percentage of the proceeds obtained by the government. Persons who bring these actions are protected against retaliation.
The Clark Center's number one priority is the delivery of the highest quality of client care possible. We treat all of our clients equally with compassion, understanding and respect. We provide only care which is medically necessary and appropriate. Our main concern is for the well-being, comfort and dignity of our clients. We do not make a distinction in the availability of services or the care we provide based on age, gender, disability, race, color, religion, national origin, actual or perceived sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status or based on the source of payment for the client's services or the client's ability to pay. All clinical decisions are based upon identified health care needs regardless of how the Clark Center compensates or shares financial risk with any individual or entity.
Our commitment to quality of care and client safety is an obligation of every person affiliated with the Clark Center. If any circumstance arises where you have a concern about quality or client safety, you have a duty to raise it through the appropriate channels at your facility or to the Corporate Compliance Officer until it is properly resolved.
All client care at the Clark Center is provided with a statement of their rights and with a Notice of Privacy Practices. These client rights include the right to make decisions regarding medical care, the right to refuse or accept treatment, the right to informed decision-making and rights related to how the client's health information is maintained by the Clark Center. We listen to and follow the choices made by our clients with respect to their clinical care, as required by law. We are responsible for informing clients about their proposed plan of care including the risks, benefits and alternatives available to them. We respect clients' rights to make informed decisions about treatment. Clients are free to choose their service providers.
We demonstrate our respect for our clients by protecting the confidentiality of all personal information they share with us for the purpose of receiving quality care. This information, known as "Protected Health Information" or "PHI," can include clients' names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical diagnoses, family illnesses and other personal information. Federal and state laws, as well as quality of care standards, require us to keep this information confidential. Clark Center employees who are clients in our facilities also must be accorded the highest level of confidentiality with respect to their medical records and the PHI contained in them.
We must never use, disclose or discuss client-specific information except as necessary for client care or as required by law. Subject to emergency exceptions, client privacy will be protected and client-specific information will be released only to persons authorized by law or by the client's written authorization. It is never appropriate to discuss clients or their cases in a public area where conversation may be overheard by others. It also is inappropriate to permit access to a client's record to individuals who are not involved in legitimate activities relating to the client. We must remember that these rules apply to employees' medical records when they are receiving medical care at health system facilities. If you are unsure of the rules governing the release of client related data, ask and be sure you understand them before you release any information. Anyone affiliated with the Clark Center who engages in unauthorized disclosure of client information will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Individuals also may be subject to civil or criminal penalties. If you become aware of an unauthorized disclosure of client information, you must report it immediately to your supervisor or to the Office of Corporate Compliance. The Clark Center prohibits retaliation against any person who makes a good faith report of a privacy violation.
One important aspect of our commitment to high quality client care is the proper credentialing of all health care providers associated with our institution. We ensure that our providers are appropriately credentialed and that their work is within the parameters of their respective licenses. We conduct credentialing reviews not only for permanent full time employees whose work requires licenses, but also for temporary and contracted staff. Credentialing reviews occur before the relationship between the Clark Center and an individual commences. We recertify those credentials every two years thereafter. We also conduct background checks on individuals who work in our facilities, regardless of whether their position requires a license, to ensure that they do not have criminal backgrounds.
Missouri requires us to report to the Department of Mental Health certain adverse client events within 24 hours after their occurrence. Our health care providers are required to report such incidents to designated Clark Center administrators immediately upon learning of them. Failure to do so constitutes an unacceptable practice and is grounds for discipline. We are committed to the full and prompt investigation of every adverse event and to the implementation of corrective or remedial action where appropriate.
We market the Clark Center's services in a fair, truthful and ethical manner. Our marketing materials are designed to reflect only the services available and the level of the provider's licensure and accreditation. The Clark Center uses marketing and advertising to educate the public, report to our community, increase awareness of our services and to recruit staff members.
We make every effort to ensure that entries we make into client records are clear and complete and reflect exactly the item or service that was provided to the client. The Clark Center strives to ensure that our records never include guesswork, exaggeration, or miscoding.
In any situation where deemed necessary, the agency will regard the witnessing of signature to be accurate and accountable. When required, the signature may be witnessed by a notary public. Generally a person chosen to witness a document should have no financial or other interest in an agreement. A neutral third party is the best choice. The witness is not usually required to know or understand the contents of the document. A witness must be of legal age and mentally capable.
The Clark Center is a tax-exempt entity because of its charitable mission. We provide community benefits that include health care services, medication services, education, and community outreach activities. The Clark Center must use its resources in a manner that furthers the public good rather than the private or personal interests of any individual or entity.
One of the most important aspects of the Clark Center's commitment to compliance is our dedication to the preparation and submission of accurate claims for payment to Federal and state health care programs. We have a zero tolerance policy with respect to billing for improper claims. All claims for payment for any service provided by the Clark Center must be supported by complete documentation in the medical record, proper coding based on that record and bills that accurately reflect the coding. We can bill only for those goods and services actually provided and medically necessary. Accurate and timely documentation also depends on the diligence and attention of physicians, clinicians and care coordinators in our facilities. We expect those staff to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner. The Clark Center should always bill accurately for services rendered in accordance with the law and with its agreements with third party payors. When we receive a question from a client or a third party payor about an invoice or charge, we promptly address the question, if authorized to do so, or refer the matter to the person who is authorized to address it. Unresolved disputes regarding a client's bill are referred to a supervisor for resolution.
The Clark Center receives reimbursement under Federal and state health care programs. These programs require us to submit complete and accurate reports of its costs of operation and other information. We comply with all applicable legal, regulatory and program requirements in the preparation of our cost reports. These laws, regulations and guidelines define what costs are allowable and outline the appropriate methodologies to claim reimbursement for the cost of services provided to program beneficiaries.
The Clark Center prohibits its employees and other service providers from offering, paying, asking for, or accepting money or other benefit in exchange for client referrals, purchases, leases or orders.
Our partners — schools, contractors, physicians, court system and others with whom we do business — are vital to our success. We always treat them with respect, professionalism and fairness. Our clients and the community we serve frequently associate our business partners' performance with the Clark Center. We look into the background of our partners before allying with them to ensure they demonstrate high standards of ethical business conduct.
The Clark Center selects our, attorneys, contractors and consultants based on the quality, price, delivery and supply of their goods and services. We obtain these services only when there is a legitimate need for them. We do not accept any form of compensation that is designed to influence the selection process.
We do not pay or offer to pay anyone — colleagues, physicians or other persons or entities — for referral of clients. Similarly, we do not accept payments for referrals we make. When the Clark Center discharges clients and refers them to other providers, we ensure that the referrals are based on the client's documented need for the referred service and the ability of the referred provider to meet that need. The client's freedom to choose a service provider must be honored at all times. Financial relationships with providers with whom the Clark Center has a referral relationship are reviewed to ensure compliance with the relevant laws.
The Clark Center engages in activities that are subject to state and Federal antitrust laws. Generally, these laws prohibit competitors from entering into agreements to fix prices or to reduce price competition. We should not provide information about the Clark Center's business to a competitor. In addition, we are to refrain from engaging in unfair practices that might restrict competition.
Accurate and complete records are crucial for the continuity of client care, appropriate and proper billing, and for compliance with regulatory, tax and financial reporting requirements. Everyone who enters information into a medical record, business record, regulatory or financial report has a responsibility to do so in a truthful, accurate, legible and timely manner.
The Clark Center cooperates fully with government inquiries and investigations. We do not prevent persons affiliated with us from speaking with government officials. However, you should contact your supervisor and the CEO before doing so. When we receive a request for documents or a subpoena, we refer it to the CEO, who will coordinate the Clark Center's response and ensure that it is appropriate and complete. We never destroy, alter or change Clark Center records. When we receive notice of an investigation or lawsuit, a request for documents or a subpoena, we preserve all related records and cooperate fully in making them ready for evaluation and/or production.
In preparation for, during, or after surveys, Clark Center employees deal with all accrediting bodies in a direct, open and honest manner. No action should ever be taken in relationships with accrediting bodies that would mislead the accrediting organization or its survey teams, either directly or indirectly.
In addition to client information, other information created by the Clark Center in the conduct of business, such as staff data, financial data, development plans, marketing strategies or information about pending or contemplated business deals, is confidential information that belongs to the Clark Center. We always keep this information confidential and do not use it as a basis for personal gain. When you receive confidential information in the course of performing your job duties and responsibilities you must not use it for your own or your family's benefit and you may not disclose it to others for their personal use.
The Clark Center works diligently to maintain an alcohol and drug-free environment at our facilities. We are expected to perform our responsibilities in a professional manner free from the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances which may impair our job performance or judgment. If we suspect that you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you will be required to undergo appropriate drug or alcohol testing. If you are found to be performing any activity for the Clark Center while impaired by or under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of your employment.
Pharmaceutical drugs may be handled only by properly authorized individuals who do so as a part of their job duties and responsibilities. You may not under any circumstances divert pharmaceuticals for personal use or sale. You are expected to protect the integrity of the Clark Center by safeguarding the drugs entrusted to you. If you become aware of any potential lapses in security, or any actual violation of any law, policy or regulation relating to drugs, you are required to immediately inform your supervisor or the CEO.
We have a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and a duty of loyalty to the Clark Center. Our business conduct must always put the Clark Center's interests ahead of our personal interests. We are obligated to avoid conduct that could create a conflict of interest or even the appearance of one. We do not use our positions or confidential information obtained in the course of our work for personal gain. We make sure that any outside jobs or positions do not conflict with our work at the Clark Center and we disclose to our Director and to the Chief Executive Officer any potential conflict that might.
The Clark Center is committed to providing a workplace that is safe, healthy, smoke-free and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You are expected to know the safety issues and policies that affect your job and to follow those policies at all times. It is important that you immediately advise your supervisor of any workplace injury or any circumstance presenting a danger of injury so that timely corrective action can be taken to resolve the problem.
The Clark Center promotes diversity in its workforce at all levels of our organization. We are committed to providing a work environment where everyone is treated with respect, dignity and fairness. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, gender, national origin, actual or perceived sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, age or disability. We celebrate cultural and other differences because they contribute to the strength of the Clark Center. We comply with all laws, regulations and policies relating to equal employment opportunity in hiring, reductions in force, transfers, terminations, evaluations, recruiting, compensation, promotions and discipline. We make reasonable accommodations for known physical and mental limitations of qualified individuals with disabilities.
The Clark Center strives to provide a workplace that is free from harassment and disruptive behavior. We do not tolerate harassment by anyone based on diverse characteristics or the cultural backgrounds of those who work with us. Degrading jokes, slurs, intimidation or other harassing conduct are not acceptable at the Clark Center. Sexual harassment can be particularly harmful to the work environment and is prohibited. This prohibition includes unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors in conjunction with your employment. Verbal and physical harassment or abuse and any other behavior that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment have no place at the Clark Center. If you engage in this conduct, you will be subject to discipline. If you observe or experience any form of harassment or violence, you must report it to your supervisor, or a member of management.
The Clark Center is committed to the highest standards of excellence in the practice of behavioral health, and strongly believes that collaboration, communication and collegiality are essential for the provision of safe and competent client care. Intimidating and disruptive behaviors can foster errors, contribute to poor client satisfaction and to preventable adverse outcomes, and increase the cost of care. Safety and quality of client care is dependent upon teamwork, communication and a collaborative work environment. As such, all individuals associated with the Clark Center must treat others with respect, courtesy and dignity and must conduct themselves in an appropriate, professional and cooperative manner. Appropriate professional and cooperative behavior means any reasonable conduct intended to advocate for clients, to recommend improvement in client care and to participate in the operations, leadership or activities of the staff, including the all Staff. Inappropriate or disruptive behavior includes, but is not limited to: the use of profanity in the workplace; the refusal to speak or respond to others; inappropriate physical contact; sexual, religious, racial or other unlawful harassment; throwing objects; and/or, the destruction of Clark Center property. Breaches of Ethical Conduct by any staff member affiliated with or employed by the Clark Center will be addressed in accordance with Clark Center policies. Anyone who observes or is subjected to inappropriate conduct by any staff member can notify their supervisor, and/or the CEO. Employees who make such reports in good faith cannot be retaliated against for making the report.
We are to dispose of all waste and other materials and store all chemicals and substances in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. It is important to file all necessary environmental reports accurately and promptly and to cooperate fully with all governmental authorities in the event of an environmental incident.
Employees shall not engage in coercive solicitation of coworkers such as seeking donations, encouraging purchases or taking a position on an issue outside the workplace. Employees receiving unwanted solicitations are encouraged to address the issue with their coworker and/or report the matter to their supervisor and/or agency management.
We do not use Clark Center revenues directly or indirectly for political activities or in support of political campaigns. We do not reimburse personal expenses related to any political activities including money spent in support of any political candidate. You may not solicit political contributions from your colleagues in Clark Center facilities. The Clark Center does not take positions on political elections or campaigns.
Each of us is responsible for preserving the Clark Center's assets including time, material, supplies, equipment and information. All communications systems including, but not limited to, telephones, computers, electronic mail, Intranet, Internet access and voice mail are the property of the Clark Center and are to be used primarily for business purposes in accordance with our policies. You have no right to privacy with respect to anything you create, store, send or receive on Clark Center computer and telephonic systems and we reserve the right to monitor and/or access all communications usage and contact.
The Clark Center will not knowingly employ, appoint, elect, contract or bill for any individual or entity that has been listed as debarred, excluded or is otherwise ineligible for participation in Federal or state health care programs. Employees are required to report to us if they become excluded, debarred or ineligible to participate in Federal or state health care programs or have been convicted of a criminal offense related to the provision of health care items or services.
All requests from reporters or the general public for information should be referred to the CEO. Employees should never release information without the permission of the CEO.
The Clark Center recognizes and appreciates the unique role of the Peer Support Provider, Family Support Worker and Recovery Specialist. It is recognized that their role is one of a peer rather than a mental health professional and that, as such, their interactions will sometimes be to assist clients in interacting with other Clark Center personnel and other community agencies. Self-disclosure of relevant experiences, when deemed beneficial, will be employed more regularly and time spent together will likely be less clinical in nature. As this is understood, it is still expected that all peer positions will abide by the intent of the Corporate Compliance Plan and Code of Ethical Conduct.
Ethics violation complaints will be in writing and submitted to supervisor within 90 days of the alleged violation. All complaints will be reviewed at the next scheduled Management Team meeting; no more than two weeks from date of submission. CEO will have 30 days to investigate allegations and make a decision as to outcome warranted. Due to the nature of the investigation, only those directly involved in the process will be apprised of details and outcomes. Grievance forms can be found at the front desk of each building or in the office of the Quality Assurance and Improvement Coordinator.
The Compliance Officer at the Clark Center is the Quality Assurance & Improvement Coordinator.
The HIPPA officer is the Human Resources Director.
