Il Teatro Poliziano è situato a Montepulciano.

Storia e descrizione
L'origine del teatro è legata alle vicende dell'Accademia degli Intrigati, che nell'ultimo decennio del '700 studiò la possibilità di realizzare un nuovo teatro.

Un primo progetto redatto dall'architetto Leonardo De Vegni venne giudicato troppo costoso. Nel 1793 venne invece approvato un progetto redatto dall'architetto pratese Giuseppe Valentini e nel 1796 il nuovo teatro fu ultimato utilizzando i locali del Monte Pio sottostanti il Duomo.

Preceduta da un vestibolo ovale e da un ampio ingresso, la sala presentava la pianta a ferro di cavallo con 72 palchi distribuiti in quattro ordini. Dopo alcune modifiche di minore importanza attuate nel 1836 e nel 1870, fu deciso un restauro più completo per ammodernare la copertura della sala e adeguare il teatro ai nuovi gusti. Nel 1880 fu incaricato del progetto l'architetto Augusto Corbi che eseguì il rinnovamento del teatro con la collaborazione del pittore Rotellini e del decoratore Angelo Franci.

Nella prima parte del '900 il teatro subì di nuovo alcuni lavori, soprattutto per l'adeguamento dell'impiantistica alle norme di sicurezza: nel periodo 1904-10 vennero realizzati il loggione e il nuovo impianto elettrico; nel 1945 furono rimodernati i servizi e modificata la struttura del tetto. Fra il 1962 e il 1966, su richiesta del Genio Civile, tutti i solai lignei dei palchetti vennero sostituiti con solai in cemento. Infine nel 1980, dopo la sua cessione al Comune, il teatro è stato interessato a un ultimo progetto di restauro redatto agli architetti Giuseppe e Alberto Samonà.

Il teatro, salvo qualche parentesi nell'ultimo dopoguerra, ha sempre ospitato una ricca e costante attività teatrale e lirica e da qualche decennio ha proseguito questa tradizione soprattutto nell'ambito dei cartelloni estivi del Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte e in quelli invernali dell'Associazione Intercomunale della Valdichiana senese.

Batizfalvy Sámuel  (Rimaszombat, 1826. augusztus 26. – Budapest, 1904. november 6.) orvos, az ortopédia egyik első magyarországi művelője, a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia levelező tagja (1868). Batizfalvy István író öccse.

Életpályája
Gimnáziumait Osgyánban és Rozsnyón végezte, majd a Lőcsei Egyetemen bölcsészet hallgatott és apja kívánsága szerint evangélikus teológiát is kijárta. 1848-49-ben rész vett a forradalom és szabadságharcban. 1849-ben lépett orvosi pályára és először 1855-ben orvostudorrá, majd júliusban sebésztudorrá avatták. 1854-ben a Rókus-kórház segédorvosa, majd 1855 és 1858 között az orvosi egyetem sebészi kórházánál tanszéki segéd lett Balassa János mellett. 1856-ban szülész orvosi képesítés nyert. még ezen a nyáron külföldi tanulmányutat tett melynek során meglátogatta a német, francia, angol, belgiumi és hollandi egyetemeket és tudományos intézeteket. 1859-ben megalapította Sebészi és ortopédiai magán gyógyintézetét a pesti Király utcában (93. szám).  Batizfalvy "testegyenészeti" (ortopédiai) intézet hiánypótló volt Magyarországon, hiszen addig egy sem volt, csupán Ausztriában működött egy. Egészen 1872-ig működött itt az intézet, amikor is átköltözött a Városligetbe, a Weber Antal által tervezett épületbe.

Az intézet falai között Szemere Bertalan (1865), és 1879-es agyvérzése után Tóth Kálmán is kezeltette magát.

A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia 1868. március 18-án levelező tagjai sorába választotta, székfoglaló beszédét 1869. február 8-án tartotta , A testegyenészet (orthopoedia) újabb haladása s tudományos állása napjainkban, három kiválóbb keresettel fölvilágosítva." címmel.

Felesége Meskó Malvin volt( meghalt 1920. november 11-én), egyetlen fiuk, az orvostanhallgató Béla, 1884 januárjában pisztollyal vetett véget életének.
Batizfalvy Sámuel 1904-ben halt meg, holttestét a Kerepesi temetőben helyezték örök nyugalomra.

For most new companies, getting the right staff on board is important. For high-tech start-up companies, it is vital.
The smooth transfer of technology from a research institution can be a challenge for a new company. This was a problem facing Hi-Aspect, a new MacDiarmid start-up that had developed protein-based nanomaterial for use in skincare products and wound dressings. Hi-Aspect needed specific skills to take the science from the lab through to production. Thanks to a new MacDiarmid Institute Internship, Hi-Aspect have been able to employ a new PhD graduate with expertise in their science.
Hi-Aspect CEO Dr George Slim explains.
Dr Slim says the new PhD, Manmeet Kaur, had exactly the skills they needed.
And for Dr Kaur, the MacDiarmid Internship gave her the opportunity to continue working in her area of study.
Dr Slim says the MacDiarmid Internship has other advantages.
And for Dr Kaur, the future is looking good. Hi-Aspect have already extended her internship for a further six months.

Everyone seems to have a different method of defining what a spiritual sequel is, but to me, a spiritual sequel is a film that somehow clearly lives in the shadow of a movie that came before. Maybe they share a director or members of the cast, maybe the plots are similar or characters are the same. Sometimes, a spiritual sequel is simply getting two stars back together and hoping to repeat the lightning in a bottle effect of the first film. Much like conventional sequels, the spiritual sequel is rarely superior to its predecessor, but this list accounts for some damn worthy follow-ups.


While IT spending is down from a record high index of 86.5 last June, it remains at the third-highest level since 2002 at 76, according to a Goldman Sachs survey of chief investment officers at technology companies, reports The Street. The biggest spending priorities are security, Software as a Service, analytics and cloud infrastructure, according to the report.
In the next three years, workloads on the cloud are expected to grow from 18% to 34%, according to Goldman Sachs, reports Investor's Business Daily. The realities of migrating workloads to the cloud and adjusting applications to a new platform mean that some businesses are going to be hybrid for longer than expected, a spending boon for on-premise vendors.
After 10 years of top rankings, Microsoft was again identified as the most strategic vendor for chief investment officers, with the expectation for this to continue for the next three years, reports IBD. Second place was a tie between Amazon and Cisco, and Salesforce and IBM tied for fourth. It is Salesforce's first time in the top five as Oracle fell to No. 8.
The chief investment officer and chief information officer must work hand-in-hand. Technology strategy can be meaningless unless the purse strings are open.
As IT spending grows, it reinforces the dominance of a few large cloud-based vendors. Microsoft, for example, is the No. 2 Infrastructure as a Service provider and the No. 1 SaaS provider. Google is No. 3 in cloud and an industrywide leader in security and analytics. And Salesforce maintains a tight grip on the CRM market.
Getting more from a single vendor helps with compatibility across internal systems, products and applications. Few customers would rather balance 20 vendors than 10 if the products and services are the same.
As more business shifts to cloud vendors, on-premise vendors have a few more years to adjust business models to the age of the cloud. Failure to make the transition will leave companies focused on legacy hardware and tech in the dust. The transition may be choppy, but the alternative could be a death knell.


On Long Beach in Washington State, local resident Candice Woodbury found a strange snake-like fish. The fish was completely buried in the sand, only a head was visible. Finding interested specialists aquarium Seaside Aquarium.
On examination, scientists determined that it was a Pacific serpentine eel. The habitat of the eel – the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Galapagos Islands, as it turned out to be in Washington – is a mystery. Experts have suggested that the fish appeared in the US state due to a strong storm, which threw it ashore.
Ichthyologists carefully removed the marine inhabitant from the thickness of the sand and took it for rehabilitation. It is known that now the serpentine eel is located in a special aquarium under the supervision of specialists of the Seaside Aquarium, where it is treating fins injured by storm and sand.


Bolivian music styles vary greatly between regions. That's because Bolivia is such a multi-ethnic country. Bolivia has over 30 different ethnic groups and cultures and each has their own type of music. In addition, may styles have been adopted from other countries by Bolivian musicians. In Eastern Bolivia music is completely different from elsewhere. Here music is usually very fast and festive. You can hear styles like the chacarera and taquirari. The names of many music styles in Bolivia's tropical Eastern half are in Guarani and traditional dances are also typical of the tropical Amazonian tribes such as the Guaraní, Ayoreos, and others. In Southeastern Bolivia, and specifically in Tarija, you'll find the liveliest music in the country.
There are so many different Bolivian dances, we've divided this into 4 pages. When you finish reading this page on the lively and festive music of Eastern, tropical Bolivia, proceed to page 2 -4 to hear the beautiful music of the Central and Southern Bolivian valleys, the wind instruments and drums of the Bolivian Andes Mountains, and the most surprising of all, the centuries-old tradition of baroque music of Bolivia's Jesuit Missions, an ancient European Renaissance music style taught to the indigenous peoples in Bolivia's Chiquitania region and passed down from generation to generation for over 500 years.
Derived from the "huayno", described above, it was adapted to Eastern Bolivian instruments and does not include flutes or pan flutes, but does include drums and other similar wind instruments. Now it is played by large bands and sometimes with synthesizers but traditionally it is played by the "tamboritas", typical Eastern Bolivian musical groups. The two main instruments are the tamborcillos (small drums) and violins.
This type of music is believed to have originated from a warrior dance that is danced by the Moxos (from the departments of Beni and Santa Cruz) according to the translation of the word "takirikire" which meant "dance of the arrow". It is the emblemic rhythm of the Bolivian orient and like the chovena, the carnavalito and others, it is played with both wind and percussion instruments, or with violins and accordions. There is also an Andean version but it sounds more like the huayño.
This is a very lively music danced generally at parties or around Carnaval time, and very specific to Santa Cruz. The way in which it is danced is similar to line dancing in some ways.
Also from Eastern Bolivia it is played using the "pifano de tacuara" (a fife made from the tacuara which is a species of bamboo), drums, and sometimes the violin and accordion. This is the rhythm of the tribes that inhabited the plains and originated prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. It is very popular during Carnaval.
This type of music and dance is from Moxos (in the department of Beni) and is played only with small drums. It is typical of the "moxeño" indigenous tribes who, upon being colonized by Spain, merged their customs with the Spaniards' beliefs and this dance usually accompanies Catholic festivities that were instilled during the Colonial.

FBI takes down REvil ransomware gang
Active effort to stop international cybercriminals.
By Casey Tonkin on Oct 25 2021 04:59 PM
The FBI has taken down a notorious ransomware gang. Image: Shutterstock
The notorious REvil ransomware gang is no more after successful disruption efforts from US law enforcement and their international counterparts, according to Reuters.
Last week, the group's 'Happy Blog' – a dark web site where REvil posted stolen data to try and extort its victims – went offline once again and a REvil member with the username '0_neday' posted to a Russian hacking forum saying the REvil server "was compromised".
"They were looking for me," '0_neday' said.
"They deleted the path to my hidden service in the torrc file and raised their own so that I would go there.
"Good luck everyone, I'm off."
Days later, Reuters confirmed that it was law enforcement officials who knocked REvil offline in what the news service described as "a multi-country operation" that was still active.
"The FBI, in conjunction with Cyber Command, the Secret Service and like-minded countries, have truly engaged in significant disruptive actions against these groups," Tom Keller, a cybercrime advisor to the US Secret Service, told Reuters.
As yet there has been no official statement from authorities – something John Fokker, Head of Cyber Investigations at McAfee, said was worth keeping in mind.
"Currently, the world media is applauding the statement of a single source from the private sector, which hasn't been confirmed by any government organisation yet," he said.
Fokker suspects older REvil members likely made copies of the gang's infrastructure during some internal conflict he witnessed and thinks they may still have access to Tor private keys used by 0_neday.
"By publishing these Tor private keys, they can essentially take over the REvil tor hidden service and re-route traffic to their back-up systems away from 0_neday's systems," he said.
"There is no intrustion involved in an action like this and it is comparable to a DNS hijack. It would not be surprising if there was 1-1 direct communication between the older REvil team and 0_neday which caused 0_neday to throw the towel into the ring."
REvil's short-lived return
REvil had only just returned from a hiatus in late September, two months after it went dark following the attack on US company Kaseya.
Kaseya provides software for managed service providers meaning REvil's supply chain triggered a mass ransomware event that spread to thousands of organisations around the world.
REvil was also behind the attack on JBS Foods, a large global meat production conglomerate, that caused the temporary closure of Australian abattoirs.
And while it was not directly responsible for the severe Colonial Pipeline attack that shut down fuel supply along the US East Coast earlier this year, some analysis has suggested Darkside, the group responsible for that incident, contained former affiliates of the REvil group.
The nature of ransomware has changed over the years with groups adopting a kind of ransomware-as-a-service business model in which hackers who infect machines with malware are paid a commission by the malware's maintainers.
As with other businesses, members of ransomware groups move around and form new companies with new techniques as old ones disband – REvil was formed with members from the former GandCrab ransomware group, for example.
"The criminal minds behind this notorious ransomware family are still not arrested and can re-group as they please," Fokker siad.
"This scenario is highly likely given the amount of criminal profits to be made and the slim chances to get caught."
But as the ransomware industry has expanded and their targets have grown, so has the response from law enforcement, such as the FBI's offensive efforts to take back 63.7 bitcoin Colonial paid its Darkside attackers earlier in the year.
Tough response
Edgard Capdevielle, CEO Nozomi Networks, said the efforts to destroy REvil's infrastructure were an example of the US extending its tough physical reputation into space.
"While this is the first real public display of offensive cyber measures, true adversary deterrence is not built on one example of public response," he said.
"For the US to regain its reputation it will take a consistent approach of zero tolerance around US critical infrastructure and private cyber industry attacks."
But not everybody is happy with the aggressive US response.
Ransomware group Conti published a statement, shared by VX-Underground, in which it described REvil's disruption as an example of "the unilateral, extraterritorial, and bandit-mugging behaviour of the United States in world affairs".
"Is server hacking suddenly legal in the United States or in any of the US jurisdictions?" Conti asked rhetorically and without irony.
"Suppose there is such an outrageous law that allows you to hack servers in a foreign country. How legal is this from the point of view of the country whose servers were attacked?
"Infrastructure is not flying there in space or floating in neutral waters. It is a part of someone's sovereignty."
Conti knocked out the IT systems of the Irish public healthcare service earlier this year.

Is race still an issue for U.S. voters?
He may be running on a bill of political change, but Barack Obama could be facing the need to change deep-set prejudices about his candidacy. While the Democratic camp shows off a united front, the issue of race is already proving divisive among its voters. However, the race issue has spread through the U.S., even reaching its Russian-speaking communities.
Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are now trying to show voters they're now on the same side. But the newfound camaraderie will not guarantee votes from all Democrats. Clinton supporters like Marina Kovalyova, President of New York's Russian American Foundation, plans on voting Republican this November.
"I don't think people are crazy about McCain or know much about him, but they feel more comfortable with him," believes Marina.
As President of New York's Russian American Foundation, Kovalyova rallied a large group of support behind Senator Clinton during the primaries.
With Obama now the presumptive Democratic nominee, she says many of New York's estimated 500,000 Russian-speaking voters are plan to cross party lines this autumn. The move has brought question of racism to light.
"It is not because he's black, but definitely because the community does not believe in his strong feelings for Judaism, for Israel and all these topics," says Marina Kovalyov.
In Brooklyn's Brighton Beach, most of the predominantly Russian-speaking community are staunch Clinton supporters, who say Obama's inexperience is why they're voting for Senator John McCain.
"Barack Obama seems to be a bit inexperienced when it comes to foreign policy and I also believe he has very little idea of what's going on in Russia – or even cares," says Anton Krylov, a Russian-American voter.
Democratic district leader Mark Davidovich says, unlike Clinton, Obama doesn't do anything for Israel.
In fact, Obama has repeatedly voiced his support for Israel and his position on other issues like the economy and healthcare remains very similar to Senator Clinton's.
Yale Psychology Professor Jack Dovidio claims 80 per cent of Americans have unconscious biases that affect behavior like voting.
"It's because they're socialised into a society that has racist traditions. They have grown up in a society that's segregated, in a society where whites have positions and traditions that blacks don't have," he says.
Recent polls show three in ten Americans admit to feelings of racial prejudice. So is race a factor for these Russian-speaking voters?
"I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Russians will consider race. Not me, but I wouldn't be surprised," says Anton Krylov.
"I don't think the colour of skin is important for Russians," says Mark Davidovich.
Nearly 50 years ago another young Democratic presidential candidate was under similar scrutiny for his religion. Many Americans feared John F Kennedy's Catholic faith would prevent him from preserving and defending the U.S. constitution.
Reaching the White House Kennedy made history as the first and, so far, only Roman Catholic U.S. president. But the victory also changed long-held prejudices among many American voters.

Becoming a mother and taking care of your precious baby changes your entire life. The nine months of pregnancy lead to life's greatest miracle, but they also take a toll on your body. While each woman's body responds differently to carrying a child, many women are left with postpartum stretch marks, hormonal acne, hair loss, or melasma after pregnancy. Here are a few beauty items to solve postpartum beauty problems.
Pregnancy stretches your skin to its limits, so stretch marks are a common postpartum complaint. Applying a moisturizing oil such as Bio-Oil to the affected areas in addition to an anti-stretch mark serum such as Mederma Stretch Mark Therapy will smooth the skin and fade stretch marks over time. Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action is free of parabens, so it's a great product for breastfeeding mothers. Mederma Gel Scar Treatment can also be used to lighten scars from cesarean section births and restore the skin's normal appearance.
Pregnant women are known for developing thick hair, but postpartum hair loss can be common too. Using products that stimulate and nourish the scalp will help encourage new hair growth and replace any hair loss. The Nioxin Scalp Treatment for Fine Hair System 1 is specifically made to combat thinning hair, and this set of products helps to fortify the scalp and quicken hair growth. The OjonDamage Reverse Thickening Restorative Scalp Treatment and Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment will help moisturize the scalp and hair to keep remaining hair healthy and strong.
During pregnancy some women develop Melasma, which is a skin condition characterized by dark patches of skin on the face. The discoloration sometimes continues after pregnancy. Full-coverage foundations, such as Estee Lauder Double Wear' Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup and Dermablend Cover Creme, quickly hide large areas of discoloration from Melasma and create a flawless complexion. Women who prefer lighter makeup or who have a milder case of Melasma can spot treat dark areas with concealers, such as Bobbi Brown Corrector or Benefit Erase Paste.
Hormone levels frequently fluctuate during pregnancy, which can lead to hormonal breakouts. Postpartum hormonal acne can be cleared with a consistent skincare regimen, but it's best to use natural products if you're breastfeeding. The Belli Anti-Blemish Face Wash and Belli Acne Control Spot Treatment naturally reduce acne with ingredients like green tea, colloidal sulfur, and tea tree oil. Both products are OB/GYN and dermatologist-recommended and are safe to use while breastfeeding. While the famous pregnancy glow fades away, the Belli Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator will keep your face hydrated and illuminated months after you give birth.

Derek Chauvin's New Best-Friend: A Foul-Mouthed, Trash-Talking Maxine Waters!
Kenneth S. Alpern
Previous Article How California Oil Spillers Beat the New Climate Laws
Next Article Return to Sender: Council President Martinez' Planning Ballot Measure
LEANING RIGHT-I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I've never been a fan of bullies and/or bigots, and we're living in a world where those screaming about bullies are too often THEMSELVES the bullies, and those screaming about bigotry are too often THEMSELVES the bigots.
Take House Representative Maxine Waters, for instance.
And take the recent jury verdicts against former police officer Derek Chauvin, for instance.
For those who have ever met her, and for those in her district, she is a charming, very responsive politician who spends more time and energy in her district than in Washington, and she makes darned sure that her constituents' needs get heard (and met, if at all possible--as with the issues surround LAX expansion).
However, publicly, she's been horribly divisive to the nation, all while screaming and leading hordes of angry mobs (all of whom I'm sure are thinking they're justified, peaceful protestors fighting for a glorious civil rights movement) who have more than a few times crossed the line with respect to intimidating peaceful Americans minding their own business (and Americans who are NOT racist).
Rep. Waters' famous cry of "No Justice, No Peace!" might be legal free speech, or it might be the equivalent of screaming, "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
And if an angry crowd is right-winged or left-winged in its make-up, the threat to public safety and the discord it creates in a nation still dedicated to the peaceful protests of the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one that will inevitably turn off many, if not most, Americans.
By the way, for those of you who clicked on this article thinking I'm a fan of Mr. Derek Chauvin, please think again and either reconsider or just exit this article and move on with your lives.
Because whether the late George Floyd had a criminal past, and/or he was hyped up on a lot of medications, Derek Chauvin (or any other reasonable police officer) knew damned well that Floyd was DOWN and a threat to NO ONE after 1-2 minutes of being under control.
Whether or not Chauvin intentionally killed Floyd is up for debate, but Chauvin's contributing to a likely fatal outcome for Mr. Floyd is undeniable. Chauvin's job was NOT to take out a perp who is of no immediate threat to anyone, as is known by every properly trained and morally appropriate law enforcement professional.
There's a reason or three why most everyone in the nation, including the late conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh and former President Trump, decried the event and/or tried to take action. Some of us remember Sen. Tim Scott's and President Trump's efforts to create a national database of misbehaving officers, and some of us don't...but it happened.
Because the most ardent of law-enforcement Americans must acknowledge that the blowback against law enforcement throughout the nation was inexcusable and undeniable after Chauvin's publicly-filmed actions.
And so along comes a much-awaited trial for Mr. Chauvin...and Rep. Waters THEN decided to tell protestors and journalists in Brooklyn Center, Minn. that "we've got to get more confrontational", despite later telling critics she is "nonviolent".
Yet it's not civil rights attorney Alan Dershowitz alone who compared tactics of Rep. Waters to the Ku Klux Klan.
And for those who are offended by Dershowitz's statements, I'm guessing you might not agree with those who felt that most of those conservative protestors who did no violent acts are "very fine people"...because they didn't each and all DO anything violent personally, right?
For those who are OK with double standards, a partisan and divided House voted down a resolution condemning Waters' remarks 216-210 entirely on a party line vote.
In contrast, anyone remember the vote on Rep. King for HIS horrible remarks?
Again...double standard, anyone?
Because words themselves might not be violent but might certainly lead to violence.
And even CNN, that "uber-conservative media source" reported that the judge in Chauvin's trial (Peter Cahill) made it clear that Waters' statements is a likely grounds for appeal with respect to jury intimidation.
Because clearly the threats of what might happen to a jury who declared Chauvin innocent (such as the charges being too heavy-handed, for example) are undeniable...and uncertain as to why the jury voted the way they did.
We all WANT to think the jury honestly declared their intentions of "guilty" from the heart, but we can't really KNOW, can we, after Waters' remarks?
And, of course, not be outdone, President Biden talked about the "right" verdict BEFORE the verdict was announced. NOT OK for a President of the United States to weigh in on a local judicial issue!
So now Chauvin has a first-rate appeal that can be pursued by his legal team.
And hence the closure of a nation at witnessing the inexcusable actions of a bad, corrupt, and bullying police officer is likely NOT going to happen.
The more we SEE, either from those who filmed Chauvin leaning on Floyd's neck for a ridiculous and inexplicably long period of time, or from a bodycam of a Columbus cop's who killed a dangerous 16-year black teenager trying to stab another person, the better.
But the less we HEAR from Rep. Waters, who is now Derek Chauvin's new best friend, the better as well.

Can't wait to see what the station's next investigative report uncovers regarding the direct payments to consumers that are not turned over to the provider.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) -- Here's a tough pill to swallow for people in our community who are older and low income.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to stop paying for your ride in an ambulance and the people who operate the ambulances in our area gave News10NBC a dire warning about this.
They say this cut is going to put some ambulance services out of business. They say they're strapped for cash as it is.
First, let's explain what's happening.
If an ambulance crew got called to help a patient who was older and low income, the federal and state government pay for it. Medicare covers 80 percent. Medicaid pays 20 percent.
In his budget proposal, Cuomo wants to cut that 20 percent from Medicaid.
"So for our agency alone, it's $65,000 a year," Chief Reg Allen said.
Allen is the chief of CHS Mobile Integrated Healthcare. That's the ambulance for Henrietta, Chili, Scottsville and three other towns.
News10NBC Chief Investigative Reporter Berkeley Brean: "But if somebody is old and poor, you're still going to go pick them up?"
Reg Allen, CHS Mobile Integrated Healthcare: "Oh yeah."
Brean: "It's you that is not going to get the money?"
Allen: "Right. It's a revenue loss so like any other business you have to figure out how to absorb lost revenue."
Allen says he would have to cut a full-time and part-time EMT. He says smaller, rural ambulance services might have to cut everything.
"Now, they've lost revenue. Now, they go out of business," Allen said. "Now, there's nobody to cover them."
It's not just Chief Allen saying this.
The New York American College of Emergency Physicians says the Medicaid cut "puts patient health and safety at risk."
The United New York Ambulance Network warned it would cause the "collapse of the ambulance industry."
But one of the governor's policies is to control spending.
In 2017, one out of every three New Yorkers was eligible for Medicaid. That year, New York state spent $40 billion on Medicaid payments. That's more than Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan, and Ohio combined.
So, the governor wants this Medicaid cut. The state legislature does not.
Here is Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie at a rally last month.
Speaker Carl Heastie: "It is not lost on the members how important this is. We are hearing from the healthcare community throughout the entire state and it will not be lost to us. This is one of our highest priorities to restore the cuts that the governor has proposed in his 30-day amendments."
News10NBC asked the governor's office to explain why it wants to stop paying ambulances for helping older, low-income patients.
"The state has been standardizing payment practices across the health care industry including updates to Medicaid billing methodologies. In situations where Medicare pays an appropriate amount, Medicaid should not pay more than it ordinarily would for any other patient. These changes are not anticipated to have any adverse impacts on availability of transport services. The Executive Budget also includes an increase in ambulance reimbursement rates and several new EMS workforce development efforts are underway."
Brean: "Why is this happening?"
Allen: "I don't know. It's a cost-cutting measure and you would think they wouldn't try to cut costs for people that are typically the most in need. You're talking about low-income elderly."
The state budget deadline is Sunday.
This isn't the only money problem for ambulances.
News10NBC is investigating why insurance companies send some ambulance reimbursement money to patients who end up pocketing the money.
Watch for that investigation next week.

Joshua Matthew Sills (born January 26, 1998) is an American football offensive guard for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at West Virginia and Oklahoma State.

Early life and education
Sills was born on January 26, 1998, and grew up in Sarahsville, Ohio. He attended Meadowbrook High School in Byesville, and was a two-year starter. He committed to West Virginia University, and spent his first year as a redshirt.

As a freshman in 2017, Sills played in 13 games and was a starter in 10, five of those at left guard and the other five at right guard. He appeared on 681 snaps and led the team with 13 knockdown blocks. Sills started 12 games in 2018, seeing action on 970 plays and being named second-team All-Big 12 Conference at the end of the season. He started two games in 2019 but missed the rest of the season.

Sills transferred to Oklahoma State University for the 2020 season. He started all 11 games that year and was a first-team All-Big 12 Conference pick. He announced he would return to the team for his senior year in January 2021. As a senior, he was voted team captain and led the Oklahoma State in both knockdown blocks with 41 and pancake blocks with 21, earning a first-team All-Big 12 selection for the second consecutive year. He also received several votes for Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, but did not win the award.

Professional career

Sills declared for the NFL Draft on January 5, 2022. He went unselected in the draft, but was later signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. He was one of three 2022 undrafted players to make the Eagles' final roster, along with Reed Blankenship and Josh Jobe. Sills played in only one game as a rookie, appearing on several special teams snaps in week five against the Arizona Cardinals.

Sills was placed on the commissioner's exempt list on February 1, 2023, shortly before the Super Bowl, after his indictment for rape and kidnapping charges.

Personal life
Sills' parents, John and Kim, have traveled to every one of his football games since he was nine years old (with the exception of one), racking up over  on their 2013 Nissan Altima.

On January 31, 2023, Sills was indicted by a grand jury in Guernsey County, Ohio on rape and kidnapping charges stemming from allegations that he forcibly restrained and raped a woman in December 2019.

Topics can include communication, conflict management, objective setting, decision making and procurement management to name but a few. Those achieving a qualification can develop a range of skills and knowledge to enable them to advance their career and contribute more significantly to business and team success.
These NVQs are ideal for working managers at different levels who want to move up to the next management tier or who want their skills and experience recognised by achieving a qualification.
Our general management qualifications are founded on tried and tested management principles which are applied universally across the food manufacturing industry and the food supply chain.
The following National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are designed to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding that enable managers at a variety of levels to confirm competence in their role.
They are built upon generic functions relating to work roles and food business systems/procedures which support the successful management of areas like human resources, discipline and grievance, appraisal and performance, communication, equality and diversity etc.


Some 264 million school-age children and young people worldwide were not in education in 2015, the United Nations culture and education agency UNESCO said Tuesday.
The agency also warned that moves in many countries to hold schools accountable for results can backfire if they are not carefully designed.
And it said that increasingly widespread policies to give parents more choice as to which school their children attend, including voucher programs, could worsen educational segregation.
After a decline in the early 2000s, out-of-school rates have started to stagnate, UNESCO said in its progress report on the U.N.'s development goals for education.
Worldwide, there was a completion rate of 83 percent for primary education, falling to 45 percent for upper secondary schooling, the agency said, quoting household survey data from 128 countries for the 2010-2015 period.
UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova called for more government accountability.
The report noted that while 82 percent of national constitutions mention a right to education, only 55 percent of countries make that right enforceable in the courts.
"Governments are the primary duty bearers for the right to education, yet this right is not justiciable [capable of being the basis for a court case] in almost half of countries, and the primary course of action for those with a complaint is lost," Bokova wrote.
"Schools may adjust to performance-based accountability systems in negative ways, gaming the system and avoiding sanctions to the exclusion of longer-term reforms," the agency warned.
Statistics showed no clear evidence that penalizing schools where children have poor test scores improved outcomes, the report said.
It cited the U.S. No Child Left Behind Act, which threatened low-performing schools with closure.
The act had minimal positive effects on student performance and widened the gap between white and black children, the report said.
Students, especially in low-performing schools, were also offered narrower curriculums as schools prioritized tested subjects.
UNESCO also sounded a note of caution on measures to promote competition between schools and give parents more choice on the school their children would attend.
Making vouchers universally available and allowing schools to raise their fees at the same time "may increase inequality in access without improving student performance," the report said.
It noted that a universal voucher program in Sweden "has been associated with growing segregation."
A voucher program in Chile meanwhile "encouraged selective admission of high-achieving or high-income students" and a reform in 2008 "did little to improve equity," the report said.

The parents aren't buying it.
The Reverend Al is jumping on the Moral Monday bandwagon in Florida. Circus nearly complete – we're just missing Jesse Jackson now. See below, emphasis is mine.
The Rev. Al Sharpton led a crowd of about 1,000 people to the Florida Capitol on Monday, demanding that Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature fix or repeal the "stand your ground" self-defense law.
Sharpton marched alongside the parents of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, two teens the marchers said were wrongly killed under Florida's first-in-the-nation law, which allows people to use deadly force when they feel their lives are in danger and provides immunity from prosecution.
Well, I told you last Spring that Rev. Barber and his BlueprintNC pals would try to spread Moral Monday. So far, little outcroppings of it have sprung up in Georgia, New York and Alabama. Now we have one in Florida, which displays the rhetoric and theatrics of the NC version we've come to tune out.
I couldn't resist the pun. Sorry.
In what will very well be one of the most heated congressional races this election cycle. The race between Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and small business owner, Republican Karen Harrington, is already turning into one heck of a cat-fight.

Three tall grain storage pots with three legs incorporated at the base standing at the edge of a homestead near a recently harvested garden area. Cattle were brought back from early dry season grazing to feed on the stalks. The location is noted as Western Nuerland and relates to Evans-Pritchard's 1936 fieldwork which began in October of that year, soon after the millet harvest.

San Francisco, CA, March 2010–First unearthed in 1996 in a rescue excavation in Lod, ancient Diospolis, Israel, a large and extraordinarily detailed floor mosaic was recently lifted from its site and conserved. Found in a large villa believed to belong to a wealthy Roman, the exquisitely preserved floor dates to about AD 300. This glorious mosaic is in the United States for a limited time before it returns to Israel to become the focus of the Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Center. The Legion of Honor is one of only four museums to display this treasure before its final and permanent installation in Lod.
The presentation of the Lod mosaic is part of an ongoing series that began over thirty years ago with the exhibition Crossroads of the Ancient World: Israel's Archaeological Heritage (1982) and continued with The Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (1994), Ancient Glass from the Holy Land (1997), and Highlights from the Israel Antiquities Authority: The Dead Sea Scrolls and 5,000 Years of Treasures (2008). The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have a collaboration agreement with the Israel Antiquities Authority designed to enhance international cultural cooperation. The exclusive accord was the first-ever such agreement between the IAA and another cultural institution. The formalized relationship was created in the spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation and will allow the two institutions to work together on a series of worthy and ambitious projects and exhibitions that would not otherwise be possible. The collaboration is based on the principle of equal participation from both institutions in joint activities and reciprocal exchanges.
There are several programs and lectures scheduled at the Legion of Honor in conjunction with Marvelous Menagerie. FAMSF ancient art and exhibition curator, Renée Dreyfus, will be giving an art history lecture on the Lod mosaic April 14 at 1 pm in the Florence Gould Theater. The lecture is $3 for members and $4 for the general public.
On April 23 artist and scholar Lillian Sizemore gives an artist demonstration in Gallery 12 at noon, followed by a lecture in the Florence Gould Theater at 2:30 pm. Sizemore will demonstrate her mosaic process, including various techniques highlighting the ancient roots of mosaic making. Sizemore's lecture titled Exploring the Lod Mosaic: Past and Present reveals the methods and designs used to create the Lod mosaic. She introduces the ancient methods used to transfer the underlying design and how the pavements were built. Her research shows how the Lod mosaic reveals more than what meets the eye, and how ancient patterning still informs our thinking today. Sizemore repeats her artist demonstration at noon on May 14, June 12 and July 9.
The Helen Diller Family Annual Lecture Series focusing on recent archaeological discoveries in Israel and hosted by the Ancient Art Council continues with The Lod Mosaic and Its Menagerie: Roman Influence in Local Mosaic Art, scheduled for April 27 at 7 pm in the Florence Gould Theater. Miriam Avissar, a senior archaeologist with the IAA and the original excavator of the Lod Mosaic, is the guest speaker.
Mosaic artist Vanessa Somers will be at the Legion of Honor on May 22 to lecture and demonstrate her craft. Her illustrated lecture on the art of creating a mosaic titled Mosaics, a Lost Art—Rediscovered! begins at 1 pm in the Florence Gould Theater. Somers follows her lecture at 2:30 pm with a demonstration in Gallery 12 focusing on cutting tesserae from marble with traditional tools and assembling them into a picture.
Finally, on June 25, Metropolitan Museum of Art curator of Greek and Roman art, Christopher Lightfoot, will give the FAMSF Ancient Art Lecture. The lecture, titled The Roman Mosaic from Lod, Israel—Insights and Interpretations, is in the Florence Gould Theater at 2 pm.
The Lod mosaic is on loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Center. The exhibition Lead Patron is The Selz Foundation. Patrons are the Koret Foundation, Bernard Osher Jewish Philanthropies Foundation of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund, and American Express. Sponsors are Alexander M. & June L. Maisin Supporting Foundation of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund, and The Laszlo N. Tauber Family Foundation.
Education programs held in conjunction with the exhibition are made possible by an anonymous gift.
The Fine Arts Museums' collection of ancient art includes antiquities from the ancient Mediterranean world and the Near East, including Greece, Rome, Egypt, Assyria, Persia and other Near Eastern sites dating back to 2500 BC. Objects on display in the Legion of Honor include pottery, sculpture, glass, and metalwork.
Fine examples from the ancient art collection are a Persian relief from Persepolis, the Winged Genius, and a group of delicately carved ivories from Nimrud (in present-day northern Iraq). These pieces offer a unique opportunity to see great treasures from the ancient Near East.

Rubber—Extraordinary Ordinary Things
Rubber is one of the most common substances in the modern world and also one of the most underestimated. If you ask someone to name a rubber product quickly, you may get a response, such as a rubber band ("elastic band" in the UK), rubber bath mat, pencil eraser, rubber stamp, rubber balloon, rubber toy, etc.
These things do not fundamentally change our social environment and the way we live. However, lose any of them, we are probably to feel a big difference. That's why I think rubber should take its place in the list of "extraordinary ordinary things" that I like.
Although rubber has been at least 3,000 years old, especially known to the Americans indigenous peoples, until recently, rubber has became an extraordinary ordinary thing. why? Due to the rubber used before is not like the rubber we use today. In ancient times, rubber was affected by weather conditions. If the weather is sticky and hot, the rubber was in the same situation; if the weather is cold and dry, the rubber became brittle and hard.
In 1839, a self-taught American chemist Charles Goodyear found a way to eliminate the bad properties of rubber. Since it involved heating the raw rubber, he called it "vulcanization" after the Vulcan. Goodyear's vulcanized rubber is unaffected by the weather and after stretched it will eventually return to its original shape.
Six years later, Stephen Perry of London rubber manufacturing company Messers invented the ubiquitous rubber band(elastic band). Perry and Co. In 1845, Perry patented his stretchable strip, which holds envelopes or paper together, and the use remained the mainstay after more than 160 years.
How Rubber Is Made
Most natural rubbers are made from milky white matter ("latex"), which is exuded from the bark of the Brazilian rubber tree. The amount of latex in dandelion is very small. To tap (harvest) the latex, simply cut a V-shaped incision in the bark of the rubber tree of the Brazilian rubber tree and collect the drops poured into the cup. The latex is then filtered, washed, heated, and reacted with an acid to cause the rubber particles to coagulate. The raw rubber is then pressed into a sheet and then dried to prepare for the next production stage, which can be varied depending on the desired end product.
The beginning of the previous paragraph says that most natural rubber is made from milky white matter, which is called latex. I specially use the term "natural rubber" because there also have "synthetic rubber" which is a kind of rubber-like compounds. "By definition, synthetic rubber is any artificial elastomer, that is, any rubber-like substance (polymer) composed of long-chain molecules can be stretched. Synthetic rubber is synthesized from petroleum."
In the early 20th century synthetic rubber first appeared. "In 1909, a group of experimenters at Bayer Laboratories in Elberfeld, Germany, successfully polymerized isoprene, which became the first synthetic rubber. In the second year (1910), the first rubber polymer synthesized from butadiene was developed by a team of Russian experimenters." Other synthetic rubbers include silicone, neoprene, isoprene rubber, etc.
Like many natural resource derivatives in other parts of the world, synthetic rubber product manufacturing in North America and Europe has and continues to have a major impact on the country of origin, not only affecting social structures and economic, but also environmental pollution and degradation.

Business and financial products up until now used to have Spartan, purposely minimalistic user interfaces. This approach worked in the early days of text-based spreadsheets and monochrome trading terminals. However, the latest trends in operating system and software design require a better, more usable and more visually appealing approach to user interface design. Is your software team prepared for the challenge?
Designing clear text messages, intuitive dialogs and window layout is only one side of a coin. It is still easy to spoil a good interface with badly designed, rushed graphics, with alternatives being spending more on graphics or moving the deadline. There is a third, less talked about alternative: using readily available stock graphics to empower your financial project.
What's so good about stock images? Stock icons are a great way to make your product stand out with professional, balanced design and strikingly good looks. Stock icons are readily available, meaning that you see exactly what you get, and you get it right away without the long wait. Stock icons are sold as matching sets, ensuring color and stylistic integrity of your project. Finally, stock icons are a much less expensive alternative to making icons even in-house, let alone outsourcing them to a contractor.
Working specifically on designing a good product for business-oriented audience, you need stock images designed with that in mind. While there are many generic sets of icons available, there are only a few designed for business developers. Business Toolbar Icons by Perfect Icon are hand-crafted by professional software designers for the purpose of integration with business and financial software.
Business Toolbar Icons depict many objects, actions and symbols that are widely used in financial products. Currencies such as Dollar and Euro, accounting terms such as Credit and Capital Gain, actions such as Forward, Back, Pick and Transfer, and human-related icons such as Boss, Employee and Customer are supplied among many other images.
Technically speaking, your purchase delivers over two hundred icons in all standard sizes, color depths and file formats. Semi-transparent True Color images for Windows XP and Vista systems with high resolution displays are complemented with 8-bit, 256-color images. Each image comes in all resolutions of 16×16, 20×20, 24×24, 32×32, and 48×48 pixels, and is supplied in three different states: normal, disabled, and highlighted. All images are available in Windows Icon (ICO), Bitmap (BMP), GIF, and PNG file formats.
Business Toolbar Icons have all the graphics you need to empower a business or financial project, and represent a great value at only $99.95. Visit Business Toolbar Icons page to see the icons and decide if you are ready to save time and money going the stock way.


The development of my Gerstner based ocean displacement tools started as part of the Breaking Wave Tools.
As this kind of ocean displacement is very useful in itself to animate ocean surfaces it made sense to split them of into a separate set of tools.
In addition to the core tools I've developed a viewport controller tool that provides a graphical representation in the user interface and allows an animator to interactively tweak the parameters of the displacement tool and see the results animating in the same viewport. The performance of these tools is good enough to provide near realtime feedback on fairly big surfaces.
