Een kwispedoor is een ouderwetse spuwpot of een bak om in te spugen, bedoeld om een overvloed aan speeksel en slijm uit de mond in op te vangen. In de gezondheidszorg wordt een dergelijk bakje nog wel gebruikt om in te spuwen, maar wordt dan sputumbakje of -potje genoemd.

Herkomst van het woord
Kwispedoor is afgeleid van het Portugese woord 'cuspidor', dat spuwpot betekent. Via de VOC kwam de gewoonte om een pot voor spugen te gebruiken en het woord voor zo'n pot naar Nederland. Een deel van Indië was vóór de verovering door Nederland in handen van de Portugezen - de zeelui en handelaren namen de 'cuspidor' van hen over.

Kenmerken en gebruik

Over het algemeen had een kwispedoor een zelfde grondvorm, namelijk een bolvormig uitgevoerd laag vaasje met een ruime schuins toelopende bovenrand. De voorwerpen waren meestal van (versierd) aardewerk (foto boven), koper (foto onder) of email voor het gebruik in huis.
Vroeger stonden er ook kwispedoors in bars (vaak met zand gevuld), zodat mensen die pruimtabak gebruikten, er hun 'fluimen' in kwijt konden. Ook bijtend tabakssap kon er in uitgespuugd worden. Een bijkomend voordeel was dat de tabaksspuwers zo geen vlekken maakten op de vloer. Het uitgespuugde sap had namelijk de eigenschap dat het lelijke bruine vlekken maakte. Kwispedoors waren ook vrij gebruikelijk in de huiskamer in de periode dat men nog weinig bezwaar had tegen spuwen in het openbaar. Als men binnenskamers wilde spuwen, deed men dat in een kwispedoor. Volgens het volksgeloof zou spugen helpen om de duivel te verjagen.

Geaccepteerd gebruik of taboe?
In Europa ging men in de negentiende eeuw spuwen in het openbaar ongepast vinden. Toen verschenen ook de bordjes `Niet spuwen' in openbare ruimten, zoals trams, treinen, kerken en cafés. Want in openbare ruimtes spuwen, dat deed men niet.
In grote delen van Azië is spuwen in het openbaar nog steeds de normaalste zaak van de wereld. Alles wat afval is, moet uit het lichaam verwijderd worden, vindt de Aziaat. In Azië vinden we daarom nog steeds spuwbakken. Sinds het begin van de 21ste eeuw probeert China het spuwen in het openbaar aan te pakken. Dat deed China omdat men als gastheer voor de Olympische Spelen van 2008 een goede indruk wilde maken.

Huidig gebruik

In de moderne tijd worden spuugbakken alleen nog gebruikt door wijnproevers. Zij slikken bij het proeven van wijn de slok namelijk niet door, maar spuwen deze uit, en gebruiken daarvoor een moderne vorm van de kwispedoor, gemaakt van roestvast staal.

Het spuugbekken om bij de tandarts in te spuwen heet een spittoon.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a criminal offense, one of the common first issues you may encounter is that of bail. Pending the disposition of your criminal case, a bond will be required for you to be released on bail in order to ensure your appearance at future court dates. Bail may be set at either a secured or unsecured amount. An unsecured bail means you are not required to pay a sum of money to be released on bail prior to trial. However, if you fail to appear the Commonwealth may revoke your bail and pursue a judgment against you in the amount of the unsecured bail.
Secured bail amounts are common as well and can range as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars. Factors to be considered by the bail authority in setting bail are governed by Pennsylvania Rule of Criminal Procedure 523. The factors include: the nature of the offense, the defendant's employment status and financial condition, the defendant's family relationships, length of residence in the community, defendant's age, character, reputation, additions, and mental condition, their previous compliance with bail conditions, prior criminal record, history of flight, use of false identification, and any other factors the court may find relevant.
Bail set at the magisterial court initially may be set at what many accused would say is far too high. With limited funds at your disposal, your first impulse may be to call a bail bondsman who may post bail for you in exchange for a payment of a nonrefundable percentage of the bail (usually around 7 – 10% depending on different variables). However, a consultation with an attorney may prove even more fruitful. A judge of the court of common pleas has the power to modify bail significantly at any time prior to a guilty plea being entered in the case.

The School for Justice is a unique programme that supports girls that have been rescued from brothels to lead the way in changing the system. It provides education, training and support to rescued girls to become lawyers and work within the judicial system. This way the girls can be the driving force themselves in putting the offenders behind bars and ensuring that justice can be served. The girls will also have a real opportunity for a brighter future through education at high end universities.
How does it work? The 'School for Justice' is crowd-funded and this gives members of the public an opportunity to support the girls in their education in whatever small way that they can. We ask that the public does not turn a blind eye to child prostitution and instead becomes part of the solution in eliminating it.
The School for Justice collaborates closely with local women's and other grassroots partner organisations fighting commercial sexual exploitation of children as well as law firms and a reputable university with an accredited law degree programme. These partners will form a think tank and work together to steer Free a Girl India and coordinate the School for Justice.

After a few hectic weeks the fare on show at Kilkenny Greyhound Track was of a quieter variety on Friday evening.
Despite that there was great interest in the feature event, the Boyle Sports Derby Trial Stake. This race was won by the favourite Raheen Boy who has rescued plenty of punters a number of times recently.
At traprise Triangle Archie led up with the 4/5 favourite Raheen Boy, as usual, at the rear of the field. Around the first Archie led Condor Bobby but out of the second the favourite was only three and a half lengths off the pace in third place.
Raheen Boy kicked on from here and proceeded to hunt down the leaders. Joining them into the last he went clear up the home straight to win two lengths in 29.40 from Triangle Archie.
The opening race, an A5 event, was a five-dog affair with trap five vacant. In an open betting race Deckos Kitty was fast away from trap two and got the bend three lengths clear of Totos Boss and Mays Chilli.
Down the back straight Mays Chilli showed best pace as she and Deckos Kitty surged away from the field. Moving into the last bend Mays Chilli had arrived to challenge the fading Deckos Kitty, going up the home straight to win by a length from Deckos Kitty in a time of 29.73.
The second race on the card, the S3 300, saw Old Road Cody send off as 5/4 favourite but his race was over at traprise when he stumbled on exit. Drakelands Gift was fast away from trap six and was followed into the bend by Raheen Allstar.
Coming into the final bend the leaders went somewhat wide. That allowed Condor Amy to take up the running on the inner and win two lengths from Drakelands Gift in a time of 16.76.
In the third race the money was for trap four resident Kishlawn Ali, who went off the 6/4 favourite. Instead it was Speed Gina who was well away but on the run to the bend Triangle Diamond put this race away and went around the first two lengths clear of Speed Gina.
Out of the second the lead was increased to four lengths. Nothing was going to catch Diamond, as she came home in front five lengths clear of staying on Cooladerry Rock in a time of 29.63.
With traps one and four as non-runners Deejays Lad ran as reserve from trap 4 in the A5 and made full use of getting a run. In this open betting race Deejays Lad came away running and did a good section of 4.37.
He got the bend from Kishlawn Marley by a length and a half and out of the second he had gone three lengths clear. Down the back straight Lad looked the winner. Even though the field closed up coming for home he still held on to win a length and a half from Kishlawn Marley in a time of 29.82.
Kishlawn Bolero quickly showed in front in the fifth race, leading to the first bend from Kildrenagh Mali and Bubba Ted. Bolero was still a length to the good coming out of the second bend but the complexion of the race changed moving into the third. Kildrenagh Mali went by on the inner, coming home in front of the staying on Bubba Ted by one and a half lengths in 29.93.
A popular addition to recent race cards has been the number of distance races. The seventh race, a D1 725, saw YaSnoozeYaLose - who was beaten by a head last week - make good use of this experience to come away in front with a very slick exit.
Going by the stand first time round she was two lengths clear, but surged eight lengths ahead of Pre Tax Profit down the back. Although she came back a small bit to the field she was still 4 1/2 lengths clear of Pre Tax Profit in 41.19.
The eighth race was a A1/A2 and saw Flomur Antics as the 6/4 favourite. In the run to the bend Black Foot led but was hit from behind going in to the bend and was knocked over. In the ensuing melee Graigues Kaino went around the first in front. At the second he was two lengths clear of Old Road Ken and once he was in front he was not expected to be caught. He duly obliged, stretching out to win four lengths clear of Old Road Ken in 29.38, the fastest time of the night.

How a Budding Filmmaker Pulled Off His Debut Feature Despite the Pandemic

When the challenges of making a film are greater, so are the success stories.
Keith Dow
These are difficult times for those in the film industry. But you know the saying: when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Just ask promising young filmmaker Hussein Hammouda, who has achieved more during the quarantine than many of those with the backing of a major movie studio. Hammouda successfully funded a production budget via Indiegogo, wrangled a socially distant and mask-wearing cast and crew to Boston, and triumphantly completed his debut feature film, "Dominoes."
Hammouda describes "Dominoes" as being influenced by Richard Linklater's "Slacker" (1990) and Jim Jarmusch's "Night on Earth" (1991), with a de-centralized plotline and a series of vignettes that when strung together form a daisy chain of cinematic intrigue.
Metaflix sat down with Hammouda for an interview to learn more about his nascent journey as a filmmaker and to find out what it takes to pull off a debut feature in the midst of a pandemic.
Metaflix: Fans of the site know my enthusiasm for films set in New York City. Your short film "Lost in Transition: A New York Story" has some wonderful "Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (1974) vibes, while "Lee Paxton: Blade Jogger" has a number of striking visuals reminiscent of "Good Time" (2017) by the Safdie Brothers. If given the opportunity to make a full-blown feature film in New York City, what kind of story would you want to explore?
Hussein Hammouda: "Good Time" came out a month before we did both of those shorts, so that was absolutely something that was in the back of my mind while tackling them, especially because the Safdie Brothers' beginnings were rooted in DIY filmmaking.
I would love nothing more than to return to New York to make a full-fledged feature, and there are two concrete ideas that I have for projects. One is a feature-length "Blade Jogger" adaptation where we explore that world and Lee Paxton's psyche a little more, delving into his misconduct as a police officer and his substance abuse problems.
The other is akin to 2011's "Drive" or Michael Mann's "Thief," but set in NYC. Both would explore a protagonist in the streets of the city late at night, with lots of neon colors and rain and dreamy, synth-wave scores. I feel like so many movies set in New York explore the hustle and bustle of the city when everyone is out and about, and I would love to do something that's the antithesis to that on a big scale – like all the ones we get set in LA.
Metaflix: What were some of the starkest challenges you faced when scaling up from shorts to "Dominoes," your first feature production?
Hussein Hammouda: Honestly, the hardest thing was getting it all together, trusting that people would show up to set in the middle of the pandemic, and getting the logistics of it right through a proper pre-production process, which I never really did on my shorts. We knew there would be a very small window where it would be safe to make the movie the way we wanted to before cases spiked again, and it was stressful to try and plan for all of that.
With my shorts, we shot those over a couple of days spread over weeks, and if Patrick or Alex didn't feel up to it, we could reschedule for another night – there was no sense of urgency, unlike this. With this project, and its narrative structure, if we missed one day or the conditions weren't exactly the same as the day before, we had no idea when we would be able to make that up due to the impending COVID spikes, and the whole movie could be lost.
Metaflix: Given that you shot "Dominoes" during the pandemic, in what ways did that impact production and in hindsight did the adverse conditions provide any silver linings?
Hussein Hammouda: When you're making a feature during a pandemic, the smart thing to do would be to write a movie that's just three people talking in a room. In my infinite wisdom, I took a different approach and wrote 26 different roles in 10 very different locations. And because I was trying to limit the amount of time that people were indoors together, almost all of our locations were exteriors, so we had to deal with a lot of wind and glaring sun.
Beyond that, I didn't want to get too many people involved because of the pandemic, so I did a lot of the things that we normally would bring other people in to do — location scouting, getting permits, scheduling, picking up cast and crew and dropping them off at night, and so on. The crew ended up being six people, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better six. These limitations helped create a really fun and intimate experience because we all got really close and were collaborating a lot on everything.
Metaflix: There are a few familiar faces in "Dominoes," as actors Alex Dunn, Tristan Miller, and Patrick Dodge have appeared in previous projects. Can you provide additional insight about your collaborative process working together?
Hussein Hammouda: Good eye! I've known Alex for 11 years now, going back to doing plays together at UMass Amherst, and we've sort of been sharing creative endeavors with each other ever since. Tristan and Patrick are two people that I met really early into living in New York, working as waitstaff at a place called Iridium right in Times Square. We realized we're all massive dorks and love movies and pop culture, so we all hit it off very quickly. Eventually, Alex moved to New York and came to work at Iridium, and that's around when we all started collaborating and making shorts together.
Around 2017 and 2018, I think we were churning out one or two short films or skits per month, so we all became very familiar with collaborating with one another and had a rhythm down.
"Dominoes" was just more of the same. I wrote roles for all three of them, then I called them up a week later to say 'Hey, I wrote a feature with a role for you. Can you test for COVID this week and be in Massachusetts next week?' Before I knew it, they were here in Massachusetts, saying the lines exactly the way I wrote them down because we just have this understanding now, five years into working together.
I remember hearing Tarantino talk about how Samuel L. Jackson's voice will flow out of his pen, and I didn't really get that until I started working with these guys. They're the Saoirse Ronan to my Greta Gerwig, the Michael Caine to my Christopher Nolan, the Ben Affleck to my Ben Affleck. I'm writing roles for them now, but I know that at a certain point, it'll be me holding on to their coattails.

Metaflix: You describe the film as borrowing from Richard Linklater's "Slacker" (1990) and Jim Jarmusch's "Night on Earth" (1991). In what ways did you push the envelope to make "Dominoes" uniquely your own?
Hussein Hammouda: When I sat down to write "Dominoes," it was preceded by watching Kelly Reichhardt's "Old Joy" and Jarmusch's "Night on Earth." I was attempting to combine the two movies in my approach to "Dominoes" – the ultra-low budget approach of "Old Joy" and the no-rules approach of "Night on Earth," which was five vignettes strung together. It wasn't until 30 pages in that I realized I was finally doing my own take of "Slacker," which was something that has been in the back of my mind for maybe five years now.
Unlike "Slacker," I liked the idea of circling back around and seeing those same characters again, but perhaps in another light, and so I managed to do that through inserting a twinge of science-fiction to the plot. Thus, through the use of parallel dimensions, you begin to see the same characters and the movie finds a little more of a plot. Things that were left open ended at the beginning are now getting resolved by their parallel dimension counterparts. The man who wouldn't give money to the homeless man is now homeless himself and understands the value of $2, the failed actor is now a mega-star and understands what comes with that level of success, etc.

Metaflix: Let's revel in the boundless possibilities of wishful thinking. What do you hope "Dominoes" is able to achieve in 2021?
Hussein Hammouda: I'm going to be very boring with my expectations. The fact that 65 people saw our IndieGoGo and thought, 'I believe in you, this project, and your career — here's some money to make the movie' is so exciting to me, and the same sort of mindset translates over to what I hope happens when it gets released.
I know that it's not going to be a box office smash, but I would truly love nothing more than to get it out to festivals so that people can experience it in theaters when it's safe again. I made it for my love of telling stories, and I hope we can captivate people and take them along for the ride. That being said, I've had some conversations about distribution for it, and that's exciting for that very reason – because it would potentially allow us to reach a wider audience. I was expecting to self-distribute on Amazon, so having those talks is a blessing in and of itself.
Metaflix: What's next for you as a filmmaker?
Hussein Hammouda: "Dominoes" and all that we did with it was kind of a battle cry, it's me showing that I can and will make a feature, even if I have to do a lot of the heavy lifting myself.
I'm working closely with Max and Sally to get my next movie, "9/12," up and running, hopefully for later this year. It's a semi-biographical story that follows an Arab-American boy trying to find his place in a post-9/11 America in the years after those tragic events, and it's something that I haven't really seen done before. It's like if you threw "Eighth Grade," "Hunt for the Wilderpeople," and "Ramy" into a blender, and I think it will be a very enjoyable and accessible film that will, in turn, humanize a part of the population that I don't think gets equal representation in film.
In an ideal world, we can do that in Fall 2021, assuming this pandemic clears up by then. If not, I have a back-up script about cloning that I've been working on with Tristan for many years now, and that's something we can feasibly do as an ultra-low budget indie sometime this winter, following in the footsteps of Jim Cummings with 2019's "Thunder Road."
Thank you, Hussein. We're looking forward to seeing "Dominoes" and all that follows.

Brian Jankovich pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and will be sentenced May 10.
A Middletown man admitted he is responsible for the death of a Rumpke truck driver last summer and pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide Thursday.
Misdemeanor charges against Brian Jankovich, 41, were dropped in the plea arrangement, according to prosecuting attorney Daniel Phillips.
Jankovich was driving his Chevrolet Avalanche east on Central Avenue in the early morning hours of July 30 when he struck 52-year-old David Evans, working his route at Henkel Road in Middletown. Evans was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital where he died later that morning.
Rumpke officials said their driver was dressed in appropriate reflective safety gear and all truck safety lights were in operation at the time of the accident.
Jankovich had marijuana in his system and was driving 42 mph in a 35 mph zone, according to an Ohio State Highway Patrol crash report.
He was indicted in December on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, which were second degree felonies, a first degree misdemeanor count of vehicular homicide and a second degree misdemeanor count of vehicular homicide. All but one aggravated vehicular homicide charge was dropped in the plea arrangement.
Judge Greg S. Stephens accepted Jankovich's plea and set sentencing for May 10.
Victim impact statements from family and friends of David Evans may be sent to the court. Mike Rolfes, a friend of Evans and his family, suggested letters contain specifics about how the loss of Evans impacted the writer.
Letters may be mailed by May 1 to the Butler County Prosecutor RE: State vs Brian Jankovich. 315 High St., Floor 11. Hamilton, OH 45011.

Minnesota Vikings left door open for Adrian Peterson
Peterson on return to Vikings: 'The door is still open to find ... - usatoday.com
Minnesota Vikings GM wants Adrian Peterson to return to the team this year.
by Rajender Bhatia (article) and Milos Kitanovic (video)
March 2, 2017 at 10:57 AM March 2, 2017 at 10:57 AM
The 2017 Minnesota Vikings line-up currently does not include Adrian Peterson. After missing out on a $18 million season contract, Peterson is now on his way to becoming a free agent on the 9th of March. This will be a first for the 32-year-old player, unless he can negotiate a modified contract with General Manager Rick Spielman for the league year starts. The GM has expressed an interest in welcoming Peterson back this year.
Spielman and Peterson seeking common ground
In an ESPN interview with Josina Anderson on Tuesday, Peterson said that he is looking to explore further options before entering into new discussions with the Vikings.
Speaking at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday, Rick Spielman said that he had spoken to Peterson, detailing which areas of his performance they'd like to address. He added that negotiations tend to depend on market volatility that is notoriously hard to predict. Spielman says it's down to money, and while shopping around for players in the free market, amounts offered will invariably fluctuate and force the management to reassess their plans in line with the budget.
According to the Vikings GM, their conversation was upfront and open, with the running back understanding what needed to happen before he would be able to return to the team. Most notably, Spielman said that the talks were positive.
Peterson exploring options
In the meantime, Peterson has been exploring his options as a future free agent.
ESPN's Josina Anderson revealed that Peterson has been looking at the Oakland Raiders after being impressed with the team's offensive line. Derek Carr, the Raiders quarterback, achieved the lowest sack rate in the entire league.
The New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Houston Texans have also come under Peterson's attention and he is closely watching their stats and strategies.
Ben McAdoo, the coach for the Giants, has told the media at the scouting combine in Indianapolis that he would certainly be willing to consider Peterson. As for the Buccaneers, the management has its sights set on Doug Martin now that the running back has left rehab after recovering from substance abuse.
At this time, Adrian Peterson is unwilling to narrow his focus down to any one team.
For now, Peterson needs to take the time to reflect on which option might secure more career growth in the future.

Very humble of you, GraceforGrace!
Do you think the LDS should change some things?
I've never observed what I deemed to be an over-emphasis on getting rewarded for giving. As you suggested, the Bible, especially Proverbs, has a lot to say about the benefits of giving. Expecting benefits for obedience is faith, and faith pleases God, the way I see it.
Of course we don't want to be greedy, or be lovers of $$.
Interesting. I can see where two stereotypes merge. Mormons, as they moved across the country, caused a lot of consternation from local businesses as they moved into an area and then patronized only their own. The trouble caused in Nauvoo was, as I understand it, the result of Justice being bought by Smith, which caused the locals to take matters into their own hands, which ultimately led to his own undoing. Joseph had focused his proselytizing businessmen and landowners–and greasing the palms of local authorities- with a gospel of prosperity (believe and receive) instead of a gospel of the cross, which marks traditional Christianity.

Veteran Chicago Public Radio Personality and Host of The Morning Shift Tony Sarabia Signing Off from WBEZ 91.5FM Chicago
CHICAGO (June 26, 2018) – After 28 years at WBEZ 91.5FM Chicago, public radio personality and host of The Morning Shift, Tony Sarabia has announced his decision to sign off from WBEZ at the end of the year. A native Chicagoan, Sarabia will be moving to Iowa to pursue new opportunities outside of radio. His last show on WBEZ's The Morning Shift will be Friday, Dec. 21.
"We are thrilled for Tony, though it's bittersweet for us as his colleagues and for Chicago at large. For nearly three decades, WBEZ listeners have come to know Tony's voice, his warmth and his unique ability to skillfully lead conversations that connect with people from all backgrounds and walks of life," said Steve Edwards, vice president, chief content officer of WBEZ. "We will miss Tony deeply and we're grateful for all he's contributed to WBEZ, to public radio, and to our community."
For the last six years, Sarabia has been the host of The Morning Shift, WBEZ's live talk show that airs weekdays at 9 a.m. He started as an intern at WBEZ in 1990 for the former program, The Mara Tapp Show, later moving over to the news department. He was WBEZ's first midday anchor, and has also been the local host of Morning Edition, a Reporter, Arts Editor, and music host of Radio M.
Sarabia has received numerous awards for his journalism, including the Edward R. Murrow Award, three Lisagor Awards, a Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism, and an Associate Press award for his documentary, Unlocking the Closet: Stories of Coming Out Later in Life. He has a bachelor's degree in radio/journalism from Columbia College.
"WBEZ has been more than a place to work. It's been a place to learn and grow, and to use those skills to serve our listeners," said Sarabia. "It's not easy to leave after a wonderful 28 years - half of my life. But, I am looking forward to this next chapter of my life in rural Iowa."
Sarabia will continue to host The Morning Shift until his final show on Dec. 21. He said he plans to invite back some of his favorite guests, as well as conduct interviews with guests he has always wanted to meet.
In the coming months, WBEZ will begin a search for a new host of The Morning Shift. Additionally, Jennifer White will continue as the Friday host of The Morning Shift as well as host of the acclaimed Making podcast series that includes Making Oprah and most recently, Making Obama. She is also pursuing several other creative opportunities at WBEZ including a new project in its earliest stages of development for 2019.

Apologies for the lack of blogs the past few weeks. Frankly, I've been at a loss on how to best proceed. The best thing I know to do: post a link to the local chapter of the American Red Cross, encourage you to go donate and volunteer ... and hope that eventually we can find something that's "normal."
Also, here's last week's ESPN segment about the "Toomer's for Tuscaloosa" group. It's, um, touching.
The ESPN segment didn't mention it, but in a way, this entire offseason has been one giant dose of perspective, starting with the poisoning of the trees at Toomer's, and subsequent outcry from both sides. Maybe one of these days, football might even be fun again.
Maybe that can be the new normal.

What is Mulberry Leaf Extract?
TIZAN Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ 1-Deoxynojirimycin is extracted from mulberry leaf, which is also known as mulberry, mulberry trees, yellow mulberry and so on, which is small trees or shrubs. It was born in the mountain forests or roadsides. It would be removed impurities and then dried in the sun after harvested. Most of the country has produced it.
1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), also called duvoglustat or moranolin, is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, most commonly found in mulberry leaves. Although it can be obtained in small quantities by brewing an herbal tea from mulberry leaves, interest in commercial production has led to research on developing mulberry tea higher in DNJ, and on alternate routes of production, such as via Bacillus species. After being absorbed by human body, it could inhibit the activity of invertase, maltose enzyme, α-glucosidaseand α-amylase enzyme, reduce absorption of carbohydrate digestion and glucose, reduce blood sugar, and its hypoglycemic activity is better than sulfonylureas, and its side effects, such as hypoglycemia, is much more less than other hypoglycemic drugs, it also has a good safety; besides, this product has little influence on the normal eating. In addition, DNJ also has significant antiretroviral activity, it could inhibit tumor metastasis and be used as a carrier for the synthesis of high pure maltose.
With the function of preventing cerebrovascular disease, hyperlipidemia and anti-aging.
With the function of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and expelling wind and heat.
With the function of blocking the body's absorption of sugar, it can inhibit hyperglycemia to prevent and treat diseases of diabetes and obesity.
As the raw material of drugs for symptoms caused by high blood sugar, high blood lipid and s red eyes, swelling, pain and cough caused by influenza, it is widely used in the field of medicine and health products.
As added ingredients of beauty products to enhance color and increase the gloss of skin, it is widely used in cosmetic industry.

Year three of the Quality Payment Program is here! There are some significant changes to be aware of as you plan what to do in 2019 to earn a bonus and avoid a penalty. Most eye-care providers will be in the Merit-Based Incentive Program, or MIPS. The program's complexity for year three scoring is much higher since the scoring bar for penalty avoidance was raised to 30 points, which was doubled from the 2018 level. Year one of MIPS had a penalty avoidance of only three points.
Q: What are the four main parts of MIPS and how has the weight of each changed for year three?
• Program Interoperability (PI) = 25 percent.
Program Interoperability might seem like a new MIPS category, but it was renamed mid-2018 by CMS. It was formerly known as Advancing Care Information, but it's still the electronic medical record portion of MIPS. If you don't have an electronic medical record system in your practice and have no exemption, your maximum score is limited to 75 points since you can't score in Program Interoperability.
Two of the categories, Quality and Resource Use, have had their emphases/weighting changed every year since the program's inception in 2017. In the second year, Quality was worth 50 percent, while the Resource Use category was worth 10 percent.
In some instances, when a provider or group receives an exemption or no score from the Program Interoperability, Improvement Activities or Cost categories, the weight of the category with the exemption or no score is added to the weight of the Quality category. For example, if a practice had a hardship exception for Program Interoperability, then the associated 25 percent would be added to Quality's 45 percent value, making the new weight 70 percent.
Q: What hasn't changed for 2019 MIPS?
A: If you're considered a small practice (fewer than 16 providers) then CMS retains the IA score-doubling effect. To get 100 percent, you only need to reach half the maximum score of 40. Large practices of 16 or more providers still have to reach 40 points the normal way. Other 2019 MIPS provisions that haven't changed include the ability to choose to report as an individual, group or virtual group. Additionally, data for Quality and Resource Use is still collected for the entire year, while data for PI and IA is still collected for any 90 or more consecutive days.
Q: I reported MIPS via a registry in 2017 and 2018. Have the submission methods changed?
A: No. You can still submit via Claims if you're a small group, and the Direct EMR and Registry options remain for anyone. If you submit the same MIPS category using multiple methods (for example, if you report Quality via both Claims and Registry), your highest score will count.
Q: For 2018, I'm receiving a small-practice bonus of five points, which will be added to my MIPS Composite score. Is this bonus still available in 2019?
A: The bonus is now six points, but instead of applying that to the Composite score, it all goes to Quality, which has the effect of diluting the bonus points.
Q: Did any of the areas undergo changes I should know about that aren't noted above?
A: Yes. Both PI and Resource Use changed in significant ways. The 2018 method of reporting PI involved having a "Base" that you had to meet before going to a "Performance" score. That was changed; there's just one level now. In 2018, there were more than 150 possible PI points, and you only had to reach 100 to max out that category and get 100 percent. For 2019, there are only 100 possible points. There are some bonus points in PI, which can total 10 points, but they are unlikely to be achieved by ophthalmologists, who won't have prescription drug monitoring programs and opioid treatment agreements. As a result of these changes, getting a perfect score of 100 percent may be more difficult.
For Resource Use, if your office does cataract surgery in an ASC or HOPD, this is the biggest change of all. There's a new "Episode of Cost" measure which takes into account uncomplicated cataract with intraocular lens surgery and all of the associated costs. At the end of the year, CMS will calculate a normalized value for 66984, which takes into account regional differences, site of surgery and other factors. That value is then multiplied by the number of cases, if you reach the case minimum.
• Only items/amounts paid by Medicare for uncomplicated CPT 66984 are counted. Claims to other payers are not part of this; neither are patient-pay, noncovered services such as premium IOLs.
• You need to have been paid for 20 or more 66984 claims to Medicare for 2019 surgery that are not otherwise excluded (see below).
• Anything paid by Medicare related to cataract within a window of 60 to 90 days before the surgery can count.
• All costs paid by Medicare related to the cataract surgery count, which includes all of the related exams, diagnostic tests, reoperations (for example early YAG capsulotomy or IOL repositions, even if not done by the initial surgeon), any drugs used during the surgery or in the office that are separately paid, and anesthesia payments.
• Patients who have concomitant ocular disease which might limit best-corrected visual acuity aren't counted (such as situations where the patient has a corneal scar or significant posterior segment disease). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services dictates the exclusions by looking at diagnosis codes for the eye that's having surgery as well as the "time window" above.
The two-step attribution process for "primary-care services," which was always unlikely to apply to eye doctors, still remains.
If any costs are attributed to a surgeon—or the surgeon's group, if reporting that way—using either or both of the methods described above, then you are compared to the national norm for cost and scored accordingly. Those who are low-cost would be given a higher Resource Use score. If both two-step and cataract are attributed, each scores in this category. If only one of these applies, then that counts in full for the category. Here, a perfect score would be 10 points on each part scored, which is multiplied by the 2019 weight of 15 percent.
Q: I've heard that some medical practices could receive an exemption for some or all of MIPS. Is that true?
A: Yes, if a large natural disaster affects the practice. This was true in both 2017 and 2018 and is likely for 2019, too. However, as we are barely into the year, CMS has not issued any information for 2019 disasters at the time of this writing, since none have occurred.
Those practices who are affected by wildfires or other natural disasters (CMS calls these "extreme and uncontrollable circumstances") are likely to be given a "pass" on part or all of 2019 MIPS reporting and will therefore receive no penalty in 2021 unless they are able to and elect to submit MIPS data. CMS automatically identifies these areas by their payment ZIP codes. There are other exemptions published by CMS but they are far less likely to apply to the average practice.

Why Does Earth Experience Day and Night?
Written by Alexandra Christensen in Astronomy,Earth Science
If, like me, you have always loved science but never really studied things like why the Earth orbits the Sun or how we have different seasons and night and day, then you are at the right place. As I continue to ask questions like these and investigate their answers, I look forward to sharing what I find out. So let's take a look at why the Earth experiences day and night?
As an example, imagine you're watching a spinning top. In this instance, the top represents the Earth, which is constantly rotating. There is an imaginary line that goes from the pointed tip that is spinning on the table, through the middle, and to the top. This is the top's axis. Since it's in the middle, its axis is straight. But when the Earth spins, it is slightly tilted, leaning on its side while spinning toward the East.
As sunlight shines on one side of the Earth, that side of the planet will experience daylight, and the opposite, which is away from the Sun, experiences night.
1 Digging Deeper
2 Why Are Some Days Longer or Shorter Than Others?
3 Why Does the Sun Not Set During Certain Times of the Year in Certain Parts of the World?
4 Countries That Experience Endless Days and Endless Nights
4.1 Sweden
4.2 Finland
4.3 Nunavut, Canada
4.4 Norway
4.4.1 Polar twilight
4.4.2 Civil Polar Night
4.4.3 Nautical Polar Night
4.4.4 Astronomical Polar Night
4.5 Iceland
4.6 Barrow, Alaska
Have you ever wondered why the Sun always appears to be rising in the East and setting in the West? It is because the Earth is continually rotating from West to East on its axis while at the same time orbiting the Sun. Thus, bits of sunlight steadily increase in the East, making it look like the Sun is "coming up."
The Earth makes a complete rotation on its axis once every 24 hours with respect to the Sun. And its center axis is aligned with two stars. The first star, Polaris, is aligned with Earth's northern access and is known as the North Star. The second star, Sigma Octantis, is aligned with its southern axis. There is also an imaginary line that divides the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
This imaginary line is the equator.
Because the Earth's axis is tilted, day and night aren't divided equally. If the Earth's axis were perpendicular to its orbital plane around the Sun, everyone around the world would experience equal portions of day and night every day with no changes of season. However, because there is a tilt to the axis, as one hemisphere is pointed slightly more toward the Sun, the other hemisphere is pointed away from the Sun.
Why Are Some Days Longer or Shorter Than Others?
While the Earth is spinning around its axis, it is also rotating around the Sun. It takes the Earth 365 days to rotate around the Sun, so every six months, the Earth makes half of its orbit and changes positions to the other side of the Sun. The hemisphere facing the Sun will experience longer days and a warmer climate, and the hemisphere that is not facing the Sun will experience longer nights and a colder climate.
In six months, the process will be reversed as the Earth continues to rotate around the Sun while at the same time spinning on its axis. Thus, the other hemispheres will get to experience longer days and warmer temperatures. Some places on Earth, such as the North and South Pole, experience constant daytime or nighttime for several days. This occurs on what's known as the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice.
The Summer Solstice happens between June 20th and the 22nd in the northern hemisphere and between December 20th and the 23rd in the southern hemisphere. The Winter Solstice occurs simultaneously but in reverse. Between December 20th and the 23rd for the northern hemisphere and June 20th and 22nd for the southern hemisphere.
As the Earth's tilt gets further away from the equator, the amount of daylight and nighttime changes depending upon where you reside. The 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime will only happen in places near the equator, such as the Philippines. Arctic and Antarctic will only experience a polar day when the Sun remains above the horizon for more than 24 hours, and they will experience a polar night when the night lasts for more than 24 hours.
Why Does the Sun Not Set During Certain Times of the Year in Certain Parts of the World?
Every year in places such as the North Pole and the South Pole, people watch as the Sun sets or rises for the last time bringing on six months of daylight or darkness. Why does this happen?
Certain areas of the North and South Pole experience only two seasons – summer and winter. As a person travels closer to the poles and because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, the amount of daylight in the summer and darkness in the winter increases.
The Earth's axial tilt is 23.5 degrees. So at some point, the North Pole will always be tilted toward the Sun no matter the Earth's rotation. If the Earth had a 90-degree axis, then all parts of the planet would get the same amount of sunlight all the time. But this is not the case. The axial tilt causes the North to get sunlight nonstop for six months of the Earth's orbit around the Sun and the South to get no sunlight whatsoever.
Countries That Experience Endless Days and Endless Nights
Sweden has many differences in daylight. During the month of June in the far North, the Sun never sets . And in January, there is endless darkness for the entire month. Yet during the same month in Stockholm, the Sun rises at 8:47 am and sets at 2:55 pm, while in July, the Sun rises at 3:40 am and sets at 10 pm.
In the summertime, most of Finland experiences neverending daylight for 73 days. And in the winter, they never see sunlight. In the regions where this occurs, most people sleep more during the winter and less during the summer.
Nunavut, Canada
Nunavut sits in the Northwest region of Canada and has sunlight for two months straight.
Norway is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun, and the reason is that for 76 days, they never see a sunset. This occurs from May until the end of July. Yet, in the city of Svalbard, they experience constant sunlight from mid-April to the end of August.
On the flipside, Norway experiences its Polar Night Season beginning on November 27th, and it lasts until January 15th. There are four different types of polar nights.
Polar twilight
During this period, certain parts of the inner borders of the polar circles experience the Sun just below the horizon by less than six degrees. So when it's daytime in Norway, they are actually experiencing civil twilight.
Civil Polar Night
In this instance, there is no civil twilight, just nautical twilight. Here the Sun is between six and twelve degrees below the horizon.
Nautical Polar Night
During Nautical Polar Night, there is only astronomical twilight. For this to happen, the Sun is twelve to eighteen degrees below the horizon. The majority of illumination comes from the stars.
Astronomical Polar Night
Astronomical polar night happens when there is no astronomical twilight. The strange thing that happens here is that the dimmest stars visible to the naked eye are visible on a clear day at midday.
During polar nights, Norway is not completely blacked out. The Sun is always just below the horizon, so the people that live there experience weeks and months of midnight blue. They are able to engage in the typical activities, as they are always able to see.
Still, the street lights remain on around the clock, and the scene always resembles the familiar scenes one sees of the Nativity on Christmas cards. A beautiful deep blue with twinkling star lights. It's beautiful!
During the summer in Iceland, the people experience very bright nights along with an abundance of mosquitoes! And during the month of June, the Sun never sets.
Barrow, Alaska
From late May through late July, the Sun never sets in Barrow, Alaska. And as an exact opposite, starting early November, the Sun never rises for 30 days. This period of total darkness is known as the polar night.
Now you have an idea of what happens when we go from day to night. You also have an idea of what is happening in certain parts of the world where people experience months of darkness or months when the Sun never sets. Our world is a fascinating place, and it's amazing what people have discovered as they study the Universe.

Now after one month at the Alkapuri Rehabilitation Center, I feel like a different human being and want to hone my talents for my future with the help of the Foundation, which has established a home for kids like me. I have a desire from deep within to get the right education and work towards a bright future and help my family in more ways than one. For that I need help from this Foundation which has promised to struggle for us.

BERLIN, March 11 (Xinhua) -- On average, sales of skilled trades in Germany rose by 4.9 percent year-on-year in 2018, in particular because of Germany's booming construction industry, preliminary figures by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) show on Monday.
Across all sectors of skilled trades in Germany, the number of employees increased by 0.5 percent on average over the previous year. The strongest growth of employees was recorded in the health sector with a plus of 1.2 percent, while the largest decline of minus 1.7 percent was in services for private consumers.
In its outlook for 2019, the German Confederation of Skilled Crafts (ZDH) already asserted that "the upward trend in the domestic economy, which is important for the skilled trades sector, should remain intact in 2019."
According to the figures, the strongest increase in sales of 10.7 percent was recorded in the booming German construction industry.
"Thanks to ongoing investments in infrastructure and residential construction, the economic locomotive of construction is now moving full steam ahead for the seventh year in succession," Peter Huebner, president of the construction industry association said in January.
German companies in the construction industry achieved revenues of 127 billion euros (142.8 billion U.S. dollars) in 2018, according to the German construction industry association.


Toenails are the cause of problems for many people. Ingrown toenails press into the skin on one or both sides of the toe, damaging the skin and potentially causing repeated infections. Torn toenails can similarly damage the skin. Fungus and infections often lead to problems such as thickened nails. These toenail issues– and others– can often be treated by excising the offending portion of the toenail. Other toenail issues might be attributed to other foot, nerve, and toe conditions/growths. Bottom line – if you are in pain or have noticed something that has you worried, it is time to see a podiatrist.
If you believe you your toenails are suffering, schedule an appointment today with one of our board certified podiatrists.
Excision of the lateral nail plate combined with lateral matricectomy is thought to provide the best chance for eradication. The lateral aspect of the nail plate is removed with preservation of the remaining healthy nail plate. Electrocautery ablation is then used to destroy the exposed nail-forming matrix, creating a new lateral nail fold. Complications of the procedure include regrowth of a nail spicule secondary to incomplete matricectomy and postoperative nail bed infection. When performed correctly, the procedure produces the greatest success in the treatment of ingrown nails.
Ingrown toenail, or onychocryptosis, is a commonly encountered problem to individuals. Affected nail with progression can experience, drainage, infection, and difficulty walking may occur.
These alterations to the nail can cause it to improperly fit into the lateral nail groove, producing edema and inflammation of the lateral nail fold.
Stage 3 – Ingrown toenails display magnified symptoms, granulation tissue, and lateral nail-fold hypertrophy.
To find out which toenail treatment is right for you – schedule an appointment with our Park Avenue office in New York! And if you aren't sure what is really going on with your toes – don't worry. Just select 'General Consultation' and you can discuss it privately in person with Dr. Levine during your appointment.

The actor said he'd completed treatment for alcohol addiction, which was the "first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery."
He mentioned his family and three kids several times in the short statement and talked about his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, as his "co-parent." The 44-year-old said Garner has "supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do."
The star and producer in the upcoming The Batman movie noted that he's dealt with addiction in the past and that it's an issue he "will continue to confront." He also went to rehab in 2001 for alcohol abuse.
