MedData Adds Patient Experience Enhancements to Patient Bill Consolidation Service
Brecksville, Ohio – MedData, a leading national provider of "patient-first" revenue cycle management and patient financial lifecycle services, announced major upgrades to its patient payment and engagement platform, designed to streamline patient balance reimbursements and give patients greater insight into the medical billing process.
In addition to an improved design and user experience, the new portal consolidates all payments and balances into an easy to read dashboard – giving patients a bird's eye view of their medical billing history. From there, patients can drill down to individual transactions, set up payment plans, and create email reminders. Utilizing the platform's single-click option, patients can also choose to make a payment without creating an account or logging in.
"Healthcare bills can often be confusing and frustrating for patients," said Jason Bird, MedData's director of client operations. "This new self-service portal is designed to simplify the payment process – giving patients greater transparency and changing the way they think about their healthcare costs."
Employing enhanced security features, the platform also empowers providers by letting them view all accounts associated with a guarantor, receive documentation, and accept payments in real-time.
"We have found that by focusing on education, communication, and treating patients with the dignity and respect they deserve, they respond positively, and they want to pay their bills," said Ann Barnes, president and chief executive officer of MedData. "By creating a better patient experience, this new platform will further optimize patient responsibility reimbursements for our clients."

A photograph of the actor signed with "Best wishes" matted to an overall size of 11x14
Photograph signed: "Best wishes/Fess Parker", in blue ink, Color 8x10. Matted to an overall size of 11x14. Fess Parker (1924-2010) began his film career with a one-scene bit part as a terrified witness in the 1954 horror classic Them that brought him to the attention of Walt Disney. Disney then cast him as Davy Crockett in a series of phenomenally successful TV specials. The theme song of his 1955 Davy Crockett television film, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, was recorded not only by Parker but later by such diverse artists as Eddy Arnold, Louis Armstrong, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Burl Ives and Mannheim Steamroller. Parker remained on the Disney lot until 1959, starring in such films as The Great Locomotive Chase (1956), Westward Ho, the Wagons! (1957), Old Yeller (1957) and Light in the Forest (1958). He later recreated yet another frontier hero, starring on TV's Daniel Boone from 1964-1969. Parker made appearances on various programs but retired from the industry in 1974. Currently, he devotes most of his time to the Fess Parker Winery and Vineyards in Los Olivos, California, the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort in Santa Barbara and the Fess Parker's Wine Country Inn and Spa. Corners slightly worn on mat. Fine condition.

district m Focuses on Engagement Metrics to Provide More Insight on Reporting Platform camp
district m has Redesigned the UX for camp to Give More Insight to Advertisers
district m recently unveiled new functionalities and a new look for camp, its reporting platform for advertisers. These new additions were built to give more control and insight to advertisers over their campaign's performance. district m is a full-service advertising exchange that creates open, transparent marketplaces through which publishers and advertisers can quickly and easily connect to maximize today's digital advertising demand.
camp now includes a load of new functionalities, especially regarding data visualization and engagement reporting. "Engagement is becoming a prime metric," explained Vincent Cloutier-Boucher, Solution Architect in charge of the project. "Advertisers are no longer solely interested in how many impressions they had, but how much their customers actually engaged with their brand. district m already provides high-impact and interactive formats, so it only makes sense that our platform would reflect those features."
Also Read: district m go Unveiled to Scale Digital Advertising and Search Marketing
Amongst the new data tracked on the platform, a variety of engagement metrics are available for each format. district m's swipe format now shows the number of left versus right swipes, which can give valuable insight to advertisers on their most popular products. As for touch, camp now allows users to see the expansion rate and a number of expanded impressions, which is when the user clicks the sticky banner to be redirected towards the rich content the format includes. The UX has also been rethought to included insight for each format, which includes days and times of day with the highest engagement rate.
The platform's look and feel as also been rebranded to fit district m's corporate identity. "It was one of the priority to ensure that all of our platforms would reflect district m's branding to provide a more unified feel to our suite of products," commented Adrian Pike, CMO. camp's latest version is now available to all advertisers working with district m.

Here's the situation: Your child wants a pet. But, should you get them one? Having a pet in the home can be one way of teaching your kids responsibility. It also is another added bit of stress to your already overflowing plate. The remarkable things are pets teaching kids responsibility naturally does happen!
Kids like cute things and many pets are cute. It shouldnít surprise you when they ask for one. You might get a request for a cat, dog, rabbit, horse, iguana, lizard, turtle or other animals. Your first reaction might be to say no, but instead, consider how it may impact your child if they had the experience of owning a pet.
There are a few things to consider. First, choose a pet that is age-appropriate. Small children are not mature enough to learn to take care of a puppy, for example. You will end up doing most of the work. Instead, find a pet that can keep their interest while they learn all about it.
Second, know the benefits of kids and pets. Kids can learn to care for something other than themselves. Pets teach selflessness and empathy. Kids learn to put the needs of something else over their own.
Pets also teach social behavior. For many kids, pets are their first friends. Also, a pet can help them make more friends by interacting with others who own pets. Itís a win-win situation for kids and parents as long as you can take on the responsibility of teaching your kid to care for their pet. It takes patience but it will be worth it in the long run.
Here are a few ways to help your kids get started.
- Attend a class at local community centers, pet stores, or animal shelters to help others learn how to care for pets. This is useful before you buy the pet to gauge your child's interest in certain pets.
- Visit pet stores and let kids see pets and hold them. Some kids like the idea of pets but not the thought of handling them. For those kids, starting with a pet that they can't touch like fish might be a better choice.
- Before kids can learn to care for their pets, they need to see what is involved. If you have fish, show them how to feed the fish, clean the aquarium and change the water. It may take several times (if you have small kids) but they will catch on.
- Discuss the consequences of not caring for them and when they forget to feed or clean the cages, discuss what will happen: odor, germs and more of a mess than you originally would have had. Remind them that dogs like to play in muddy water, and giving them a bath isn't always easy. (Hint for busy parents: Be sure you as the parent check out DogProductPicker.com)
- Be back up and watch your child care for their pets, but know that you are back up in case they forget to do anything.
Children can learn to care for pets at any age. Start with animals that donít need much care and graduate up as your kid demonstrates maturity and interest.
What are some other tips you would at to how pets teaching kids responsibility can happen?

Snoring affects more than 90 million Americans, but it can also be a sign of sleep apnea. I turned to Dr. Jordan Stern, an ear, nose, and throat doctor and founder of BlueSleep, for help. His solution was a simple oral device that helped my snoring instead of a traditional CPAP machine. The novel approach includes a way to receive treatment without stepping into the doctor's office. Following is a full transcript fo the video.
Kevin Reilly:This sound is me. Snoring. I had never heard this sound until I recorded it.But every person that's slept near me has suffered through it. That sound has ruined countless relationships for me. OK maybe that isn't the only problem, but it's a big one. According to the National Sleep Institute, more than 90 million Americans suffer from snoring. And that doesn't include everyone sleeping next to them.
I tried all your standard snoring remedies – over-the-counter nose strips, buying my partner every ear plug I could find, I even considered tying my hand to the bed so I wouldn't roll over and snore. But I just wound up spending more time on the couch. I had no idea how to fix this on my own. What I really needed was professional help
Dr. Jordan Stern: My name is Dr. Jordan Stern. I am an ear, nose, and throat and sleep specialist. And the founder and director of BlueSleep.
Reilly:Dr. Stern put me through a physical exam to see if anything about the shape of tongue and throat could be causing the problem. But what I really needed to know was what happened when I slept. So he gave me a home sleep test. The kit included a little computer, a heart rate monitor, and a breathing monitor. I slept in my own bed with the monitor strapped to me for two nights.
Most sleep studies happen in a lab. These tests measure a variety of sleep disorders. But they can be expensive and the waitlists are long. Dr. Stern only needed a few results.And mine were bad! When you sleep your jaw, tongue, and throat all relax. This can narrow the airway through your throat. Then when you breathe in, all the soft tissue can vibrate and cause that awful sound.
But, it can also mean a medical condition far worse than just snoring. It could be obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that blocks the throat and literally stops you from breathing while you're asleep. When this happens, oxygen is cut off. The brain goes into a fight or flight mode and will then wakes you up so that you breathe again.
I stopped breathing almost 30 times an hour!
Sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, glaucoma, diabetes, cancer, and behaviour problems. Not to mention you just don't sleep well. One study showed sleep apnea costs the US up to 165 billion dollars a year. That's not just health costs to the patient, but also traffic accidents, workplace accidents and productivity losses. The most common fix is something called a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It forces air down your throat, keeping the airway open
There's a problem though. You have to wear this every night. NOt the sexiest thing in the world. Don't get me wrong. This works and it works really well, but studies have shown that over time people stop using it and I get that. I don't want to sleep with this mask on every night. So I tried something different.
It's a custom-moulded plastic that fits right on my teeth, like a retainer. When I wear it, it slides my lower jaw forward and opens up my airway. To make it, the inside of my mouth was 3D-scanned and molds were made of my teeth. It has these different levels that slowly slide my jaw forward bit by bit. It's not perfect and takes time to get used to.
Every morning my jaw is a little sore because it's literally been out of place for most of the night. I use a mould of my natural bite to help my jaw get back into its normal place.But the improvements have been remarkable. I used to want nap time every afternoon. But now I wake up feeling rested and I can make it throughout the whole day just going.
After a few weeks of using the mouthpiece, I took another home sleep test to see what the results really were. The doctor went over the results with me over FaceTime. I didn't even need to go to his office. This chart shows all the snoring I had before the mouthpiece. All the different colours you're seeing are when I stopped breathing throughout the night. Now this chart over here shows a night with the mouthpiece.
The chart on the left shows constant disturbances when I stopped breathing. The one on the right is a night with the mouthpiece. And as you can tell – it's working. Finally, I'm sleeping better and so can the person next to me

FULL DAY STUDIOS in art and design
The following studios meet for a full day, allowing students to focus in one medium for the duration of the program. Studios run Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, with an hour break from 12:30-1:30pm.
Classes will be conducted using live video instruction for lecture and discussion, guided online research, weekly emailed assignment sheets, and one-on-one meetings. This course is not computer-based: coursework will be completed by hand using drawing/drafting skills and shared digitally for critique.
Students will receive a supply kit with basic tools and materials for designing and creating a scale model of a building, and will be guided through the design process by faculty. The entire course will be conducted via real time video sharing, texting and other basic means of connectivity.

Fred is passionate about the organization. That passion showed in his Army career when he was able to reduce bureaucracy to better support soldiers. It was also evident when he was selected to develop and train senior Army leaders on retention programs. In his civilian career, Fred's belief in a strong organization produced results that reflected in increased employee morale and significantly reduced employee terminations. Fred believes that an organization must support its investors, its people, and its clients. For Kiwanis this equates to the clubs, Kiwanis International staff and board, and to the children of the world.
Fred is also a passionate leader. One of his favorite phrases is, "You manage things; you lead people." That is why he has such a passion for Kiwanis – because Kiwanis builds leaders. Kiwanis starts in grade schools and works all the way up through colleges. Fred believes that just about anyone can manage, but not everyone can lead. Leaders need to be trained and developed and encouraged. Fred has that training. He has been developing his leadership skills for decades and he is encouraged to help lead the Kiwanis organization.

Freikorps Bahrenfeld 1919 Armband
The meaning of the word Freikorps changed over time. After 1918, the term was used for the paramilitary organizations that sprang up around Germany as soldiers returned in defeat from World War I. They were the key Weimar paramilitary groups active during that time.
Freikorps also fought against the communists in the Baltics, Silesia, Poland and East Prussia after the end of World War I, including aviation combat, often with significant success. In the Baltics they fought against communists as well as against the newborn independent democratic countries Estonia and Latvia. The Freikorps was officially disbanded in 1920.
Freikorps bahrenfeld insignia made of Tombak with a gilt burnished finish in the form of a red deer skull with the Prussian Crown between and over the antler's. A christian cross is standing on the skull itself. The details is surprisingly clear and crisp. The insignia is pinned in Place to green smooth silk like cloth armband and the reinforced backing made of cardboard is still intact. The backing is covered with green felt.
The armband shows light signs of use and age. There is a couple of minor stitch holes which shows the armband was removed from a uniform.
Very scarce insignia even harder to find still attached to its original armband!!

It's Monday morning at the Brick House. Murdo Girl is in the Oblong Office enjoying the peace and quiet. Life is good. Being Next Pres hasn't been easy, but things appear to be calming down and coming together. She stands to stretch her legs before continuing to work on her "State of the Murdo Address." Yes, The Brick House is the people's house and Murdo Girl intends to make the Murdoites proud. The rest of the nation will stand up and take notice! Oh.. some might say it's but a pipe dream, but Murdo Girl knows one thing for sure. If Washington ran like Murdo runs, there would be order in the streets again. Never mind that other than Otis, the only lawbreakers in Murdo have been members of her Cabinet. Two are currently in the Jones County Jail.
A noise outside interrupts Murdo Girl's ruminating. What? Is that a bus pulling up out front? Who is that getting off? It's Yram.
Within a couple of minutes Yram has made her way to the Oblong Office.
Murdo Girl: Has it been two days already? I can't believe it's been two days already. So you're out of jail? How did you happen to get on that bus?
Yram: Yes Next Pres. They let me out of The Big House and I took a bus to The Brick House. You know when you've done your time, they give you $2.00 and a one way bus ticket. Thankfully, my clothes still fit me or I would have had to wear standard issue clothes. I'm not sure what they look like, but they sound pretty drab.
Murdo Girl: You weren't in The Big House Yram. You were in the Jones County Jail. I'm going to have a talk with Barney about the bus rides and money. That comes out of my jailhouse budget.
Yram: Does that mean I'll have to give the $2.00 back? I'm totally rehabbed MG. From now on I'm doing things by the book. No cutting corners. There is one little problem though..when you're a crack up interviewer like I am, sometimes you have to teeter on the edge, push the envelope a little, ruffle a few feathers.
Murdo Girl: You've got that part down. Where is Jerry? He must be out of jail too. Did you two get all of your apology letters written?
Yram: Gee, I don't know MG. When those doors slammed behind me, I never looked back. Hey..I just figured something out. That's why they call it the slammer! I will say there's nothing like that first breath of fresh air once you're on the outside.
It could be that Jerry joined up with the other prisoners and rioted. Some of them took their tin coffee cups and ran 'em across the bars of their cells, which made a big racket. Deputy Fife was getting all twitterpated.
Murdo Girl: Yram, there were 3 prisoners..you, Jerry, and Otis. I have to get back to writing my speech. I want copies of all the letters of apology on my desk by noon tomorrow. I don't care who writes them. We must implore all those who have a restraining order against you to drop them, and it won't be easy. Your job is on the line Yram.
Yram: Okey Dokey Next Pres. I'll get right on it. Right after I see who's hanging out in the employee lounge.
Murdo Girl: I swear that Lav and Yram share a brain. Speaking of Lav..I haven't seen her the last couple of days. It isn't like her to not to be lurking around. (Murdo girl is talking to herself.)
Meanwhile things appear to be a little tense in the employee lounge. Lav is sitting in the far corner nursing a mocha latte. Everyone seems to be blatantly staring at her.
Lav: Why don't you draw a picture it'll last longer.
Sherri the Photographic drawer: I am. Could you move your chair a little to the right? The lighting is better.
DM: This is going to change the way the whole world looks at you Lav.
PICO: You no longer fit the image of a Next Vice Pres.
A I: You want me to fly ya somewhere Lav? Maybe you should get out of town for awhile.
Treason: Since I'm Press Secretary, I should make sure we get out ahead of the local news on this. The Murdo Coyote will have a field day. It could be fun!
TC: Just lay it on me Treason and I'll town cry it!
Carol the singer: It reminds me of that song, I did it My Waaay. Maybe it's because that's the only song I know.
About that time, Yram walks in.
Yram: Yikes!
Meanwhile, Jerry is in the Oblong Office talking to Next Pres Murdo Girl.
Jerry: I thought you might want to take a look at one or two of the letters Yram and I wrote in preparation of her apology tour. She has to deliver them in person right? There are 6 restraining orders, that we know of. She got rid of the house arrest with time served.
Murdo Girl: Pick one and read it to me Jerry.
Dear Mr. Lindquist,
I'm really sorry that I crashed your party, ate all of your wedding cake, and drank all of that really good punch. I just wasn't myself that night. I didn't really refuse to leave, and for the record it was Lav's big idea to sit in the red convertible and watch the burning of the M all night. I only recall being asked to leave twice, and I'm pretty sure I didn't think you meant it.
So how about it Mr. Lindquist? Drop that dumb old restraining order, or at least drop it down to 250 ft instead of 500. I can't even see that far. Mr. Applebee is going to kick around the idea if dropping it to 300 ft instead of 500. I still won't be able to attend any football games, but life is all about compromise.
Yours very truly,
Yram Sicnarf
P.S. Your Philip's 66 party was a real gas.. (Get it? gasoline station/gas.)
Coming up…Why is everyone staring at Lav? Will Yram's apology tour get her closer to her goal..(of 250 ft)? Will the Queen quit scowling? Is she posing as a Green Beret? These people are wearing me out!

Restaurant Closed
Harden's survey result
Some of "the best (reasonably affordable) sushi in London" can be found at these supermarket/cafés operated by a Japanese food importer. But it's all about the "fresh and addictive" plates – "service is a bit rough and ready when they're busy" and the ambience "lacks soul".
Though centrally made, the sushi is some of "the best and best-priced in London" ("not surprising as they supply many of the top restos") at this small collection of cafés, run by a Japanese food importer. "Don't expect any ambience to write home about" – decor is "very basic" – while service is "fine without being personable". Branches in N12 and W3 closed this year, which also saw the group rebrand from plain 'Atari-Ya'.
"Always packed and rightly so" was the worst report this year on this group of Japanese caffs, run by a food import business, where the dishes ("mostly excellent sushi") can be "divine". The decor, though, is "very simple" and the resulting atmosphere "pretty rubbish".
The sushi is "exceptional" ("every piece is delicious!") and comes "at a reasonable cost" at these "authentic" outfits, operated by a Japanese food importer, and scattered around the parts of London frequented by Nipponese expats ("they're always heaving with folks from Japan"). On the downside, "service is woolly", and "they're not the most glamorous" places ("St James's is basically a takeaway with a waiting room, with service on a plastic tray!").

Stuart Martin evaluates the Volkswagen Amarok TD1420 8A in Core mode.
The updated Amarok trumpeted its arrival with an Audi-sourced V6 brute of an engine, but there's still a four-cylinder in the Amarok pricelist, for those that look for a more practical approach to their utilitarian habits.
The twin-turbodiesel four-cylinder powers the bulk of the Argentinean-built load-lugger's range, and the Core dual-cab is still one of the most refined and capable utes in the market.
With full-time 4WD and an eight-speed auto, the Core starts from $46,490, which lands it at a price-point near the Ford Ranger XLS at just under $49,000. Toyota's HiLux SR starts from $46,490 and the Holden Colorado LT in six-speed auto is a tickle over $49,000.
Nissan's Navara and the Mitsubishi Triton also hover in that ballpark – the former's ST model asks $46,990 and the latter in top-spec well-equipped Exceed guise starts from $48,000.
The Amarok Core (as-tested) price rose to $47,570 with optional front fog lights, and the driver's pack that adds front lumbar support, automatic (halogen) headlights, rain sensing wipers and an additional 12-volt socket. It's covered by a three-year unlimited kilometre warranty that includes 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty, with capped-price servicing ranging from $459 for the first service at 12 months/15,000 km to $763 (at the time of writing) for scheduled maintenance at 48 months or 60,000 km.
The Core sits on 16-inch alloy wheels (with 245/70 rubber and a full-size spare), as well as getting a leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise, audio and trip computer controls on it, plus heated power-adjustable mirrors, power windows and air conditioning. The cabin has some hard plastics and rubber flooring but is a quiet and comfortable interior overall, aside from tight rear legroom.
A tall glasshouse offers a good view all round (the rear window is substantial) from any of the cloth-trimmed seating positions, and the driver gets reach and rake steering adjustment and a conventional handbrake, although it is on the passenger's side of the centre tunnel. The driver is also presented with a clear and informative instrument panel with traditional dials either side of a centre display with a digital speed readout and trip computer.
In-cabin storage is good, with a useful centre console, door pockets and small glovebox, as well as an open dash-top tray with a second (optional) 12-volt outlet.
The rear seat base folds up for extra cargo space (but there's no underfloor storage), or it can cart kids thanks to three child seat anchor points in the backrest and two ISOFIX points on the outboard rear seating positions, but there's no 12-volt or rear vents.
Furthering the car-like feel of the cabin is the CarPlay/Android Auto-equipped touchscreen six-speaker infotainment system, which is also equipped with voice control, Bluetooth and USB inputs, although access to the USB point is a little awkward.
A stint on rural roads at the launch and more time in the country side on test made us realise that the absence of an external aerial had it falling short for radio reception.
One area where it doesn't fall short though is when lugging a load in one of the bigger rear tubs available in a dual-cab. The tub has four tie-down loops and a light, with a tailgate rated to 200 kg and a handy rear step in the bumper.
The test vehicle had the tub liner, but it's still able to take a standard pallet between the wheel arches – the width drops to just a little under 1200 mm, but at 1165 mm a standard Australian pallet still squeezes in to fit comfortably.
The tray is 508 mm deep, 1555 mm long, with a loading height of 780 mm and a width of 1620 mm at its widest point, which easily took a half-tonne of grey sand that represented our load for the week.
Volkswagen lists the braked towing capacity at 3000 kg (unbraked is 750 kg), with a 300 kg ball download. With a GVM of 3040 kg and a GCM of 5550 kg this level is just short of the segment leaders.
When talking dimensions, the Core slots among the biggest of the pack for width – it is 5254 mm long (3095 mm is the wheelbase), but at 1954 mm wide (include the mirrors and it increases to 2228 mm) it's a very broad beast; overall height is 1878 mm.
All that is propelled by a 2.0-litre, bi-turbo, double-overhead-cam, 16-valve diesel, producing 132 kW at 4000 rpm and 420 Nm of torque, which makes its presence felt from 1750 rpm, teamed with an eight-speed auto.
That partnership lays claim to an ADR lab figure of 8.5 litres per 100 km, but our 730 km in the Amarok (doing everything from the school run to country road work with a full tray) yielded 10.6 litres per 100 km from the 80-litre tank, at a 34 km/h average speed, which is by no means overly thirsty given the workload.
The eight-speed transmission is a smooth shifter and was quick to pick the right gear most of the time, ticking over at just under 2000 rpm, at the start of torque curve, at 100 km/h.
Sport mode helped it make its mind up quicker, but it was left in Normal mode for most of our time in the car, with only sporadic use of the lever's manual change mode.
Fast dirt road work in the Amarok is easily achieved, with a 40/60 front/rear torque split on the all-wheel-drive system, but the power steering is too light for the author's tastes, resulting in the need to back off more as the speed increases.
The ride quality from the double-wishbone front and leaf-sprung rear is among the best in the segment, but it prefers a load on board as when unladen it can become a little jumpy, but it's still at the better end of the segment. We added half a tonne of material – its payload is 1018 kg – to the rear tray and it calmed the bum down, taking the load without complaint.
The safety features list is good without being outstanding – there's the benefit of permanent 4WD, as well as stability, rollover and traction control systems with a trailer sway control function when equipped with the factory tow package. The Core has front disc brakes but the rear drums have been retained, whereas the new V6 gets rear discs. Also on the list is anti-lock and brake force distribution systems, hill hold and descent system and the multi-collision brake function, but Volkswagen is yet to install the automatic emergency braking systems seen on many in its passenger car range.
The absence of airbag coverage in the rear has been an issue for some, with only dual front and front-side airbags offered in the Amarok range, creating an area where it is well short of both Toyota and Holden's combatants.
The standard fare also includes a high-set rear brake light (that also works as a light for the rear tray), rear parking sensors and a low-set reversing camera, which works well for hitching trailers.
Volkswagen's broad workhorse is one of the nicer vehicles to drive in the workhorse segment, with car-like quietness, a pleasant cabin, conservatively handsome looks and a decent tray, but the safety gear absences may cost customers looking for rear occupant protection when doing its duty as the family car.

This summer HFLI will offer even more Design Thinking workshops for K-20 educators! With a series of three workshops in both Detroit (July) and San Antonio (August), there's one that's a great fit for you.
Why should I participate? A recent WISE + IDEO report on K-12 education drew three key conclusions:
1. Design Thinking can be used to fundamentally reimagine school models and systems;
2. Design Thinking supports change in school culture by transforming how educators work together; and
3. Design Thinking encourages student development of 21st century skills.
What's different about HFLI's workshops? Every HFLI learning experience is an expression of our paired education expertise and design skills. It's our thoughtful approach. The dynamic learning environments we create. And the high-quality tools and resources we make available to our attendees. 97% of participants in last summer's workshops would recommend the experience to a colleague or friend. Our short new video takes you inside a 2017 workshop.
Do you offer any discounts? Visit our workshops registration page to take advantage of early bird pricing!. If you have a group of 5 or more people who want to attend the same session, contact us at email@example.com to learn about our group discount.
How can I find out which session or sessions are right for me? Check out our new guide below, or contact us at email@example.com.

Is this normal? I don't ask because I give a fuck about other people but merely because I think it may be a sign that I should actually pursue a creative endeavour rather than or in addition to the route I am currently on. I am somewhat annoyed that my writing skills have slipped recently but I think that's just a matter of not being in practice what with being out of school and not keeping up my journaling. I can still turn phrases that impress the fuck out of me and if I had a solid concept and determination (I do have an idea for a novel very firmly planted in my head but I don't know if it's too cheesy) I think I could create something that wouldn't make me cringe constantly at its merest mention.
I guess this idle speculation but I would like to know if this is just a normal thing. Do people actually just LISTEN to music? I can do that sometimes with classical but pop tends to be far too bland.

Writing 2010 still feels weird
It is cold lately. Snowing for the third time this winter, it's a total record. I found a mug that's big enough to be a soup bowl and I've been drinking gallons and gallons of tea.
Another thing of awesome I found is my old (old, old) iPod. This is my favorite generation if iPods and I'm sad Apple progressively made the iPod uglier and uglier, with an interface more and more cumbersome to use. (I would love for the split-screenness of the main menu to disappear forever, thanks.)
And lol, here's a playlist I made from about four years ago:
Frou Frou – Breathe In Kate Havnevik – Unlike Me (acappella) Kelly Clarkson – Since You've Been Gone (acapella) Gwen Stefani – Wind it Up (feat. Pharrell) Fort Minor – Where'd You Go? Jose Gonzalez – Heartbeats Imogen Heap – Clear the Area Imogen Heap – The Walk Imogen Heap – Just For Now (acapella live) <- one of the best songs/renditions of a song ever
Oh, pre-Asian pop me.
Speaking of old iPods, 2009 was definitely the year I bought a shit ton of Apple :\ I never planned to be a huge Mac person and I still don't have the extreme fervor for Apple that most Mac people seem to have, but I just have a lot of that damn macintosh.
In my defense, that old iPod doesn't really work that well anymore, neither does the video iPod. My phone is just a phone that happens to be not-a-Blackberry and now that I've had it for four months, I think I can safely say that I don't really need an iPhone or love it as much as most iPhone users seem to do. I do love my iMac though :D And that wireless keyboard!

At home, the new MG ZS EV can recharge on a standard 7kW home charger in seven hours, allowing you to simply and easily charge your ZS EV overnight – or if you ever find yourself out and about in need of a boost, the UK has over 16,500 charging points to assist.
Charging the new MG ZS EV could not be simpler thanks to its CCS and Type 2 ports, mounted within the front grill for easy access from either side of the car.
ZS EV is the first MG to feature the MG Pilot suite of driver assistance technology to lend a helping hand and give you added confidence on the road. A selection of warning and alert features assist the driver, maintaining safety and simplifying everyday driving.
At speeds below 12 mph, the car will automatically apply its brakes to avoid a collision with a vehicle, bicycle or pedestrian. At speeds above 12 mph, AEB will reduce the likelihood or mitigate the severity of an accident.
Lane Keep Assist uses a camera to detect lane markings ahead and monitors the vehicle's position in its lane. When the function detects the vehicle is about to unintentionally move out of its lane, it warns the driver by means of a visual, audible and steering wheel vibration. The car will also control the steering to keep within its lane.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) monitors the road ahead. As long as the road ahead is clear, ACC maintains the speed set by the driver. If the system spots a slower vehicle within its detection range, it gently reduces speed by releasing the accelerator or actively engaging the brake control system. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or changes lanes, ACC automatically accelerates back to the driver's desired speed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is turned on, Traffic Jam Assist continuously analyses the speed of the surrounding vehicles and compares it with its own driving speed. If the system detects dense traffic or a traffic jam at speeds below 35 mph, the driver can activate TJA. The car will automatically follow the vehicle in front, controlling its acceleration, braking and steering within the same lane.
This system keeps a lookout to help you change lanes safely. A radar sensor serves as BSD's electronic eye, registering objects in hard-to see areas. Whenever there is a vehicle in the driver's blind spot, a visual signal will show in the door mirror.
When the headlight high beam is set to the AUTO position, the system automatically switches to low beam when it detects a vehicle ahead. This enables drivers to maximise the use of high beam, making night-time driving safer, without the risk of dazzling on-coming traffic.
The car will actively detect speed limit signs and alert the driver of the current speed limit by way of a symbol on the driver's instrument cluster. The symbol acts as a reminder to the driver, reducing the risk of exceeding the speed limit.

On our way to Puebla, at about 2,200 meters in the highlands, we stopped in Veracruz at Enrique Reyes Hidalgo y Asociados. Emilio, who works in this transport company, confirmed that the container ship will arrive as planned at the port of Veracruz on March 1st. Concerning the transportation of Mahangu from Paramaribo to Veracruz this was the first positive news for a long time.
After we had discussed the next steps for the import, we made our way to Puebla, which is around 300 kilometers away. A four-lane road led us out of Veracruz. Half an hour later it was two lanes and led upwards. It was getting cooler and greener. Another hour later we saw black and white spotted cows standing in the pasture. Later, we also met a shepherd, who was traveling with a large flock of sheep. But not like in the past, when shepherds carried a stick on their shoulders, now they have a smartphone at their ear!
We crossed a pass at 2,500 meters before the road descended to a plateau. An hour later we arrived in the rush hour in Puebla. Even from afar, we noticed the many church towers. The city is famous for its beautiful old palaces but also for its many churches. There are seventy (!) of them just in the center alone. Over the next few days, we had a look at a dozen of them. They were all different and beautiful. But enough is enough! In ten years at home we didn't visit as many as we did here in six days!

National B&B Week
It's National B&B Week
March 18th – 24th 2019 marks National B&B Week.
Launched by the B&B Association and booking expert eviivo, National B&B Week is a celebration of the Uk's brilliant Bed & Breakfast Industry
Bed and Breakfasts all over the UK are joining in and offering special deals for guests staying during B&B Week and beyond.
The week also highlights the valuable work of The Family Holiday Association, a charity who provide short breaks to struggling families across the UK.
National B&B Week at Fields Lodge
Here at Fields Lodge we have our own celebrations going on!
We are having a Breakfast Celebration Event on the morning of March 18th -the first day of National B&B Week.
I decided that I would like to highlight the impact a small B&B has on the local community, economy, businesses, producers and suppliers and celebrate the ripple effect through the community and beyond.
Our celebration and why
I spend the greatest part of my time highlighting how wonderful it is in Pembrokeshire and sharing the delights with people all over the globe, in an attempt to draw them to experience the fabulousness of Pembrokeshire for them selves. Whether they stay with us here at Fields Lodge, or another property, is not my concern, what I want is for them to have a great time. If I can help in that, then that is my job done! to do this I market via email, blog posts, free guides, social media, online review sites and keep my website live and kicking on google, you tube and other search engines.
So, by doing that, all these lovely people come to Pembrokeshire, they stay, eat, visit attractions, pay for experiences, buy gifts for themselves and as holiday momentos. They eat in restaurants, pubs and that I recommend and enjoy the fabulous scenery we have on offer. Whilst they're here they are adding into the local economy.
Whilst they stay with me, they meet my fabulous team of angels, which in some part is made up of school attendees on a Saturday or holiday job
Help for young people
Here, I help 'grow' these young people into beautiful adults, able to converse on any level, proficient in their knowledge of our fabulous Pembrokeshire and able to enhance a guest's stay. Some of team started when they were 16, apprehensive to look someone in the eye and yet leave being able to talk to a room full of people and bring joy into peoples' lives.
I am very proud of how I see these young people growing and then going out into the world to further their careers. To that end, I ensure my team are fully trained and achieve World Host standard and also become Milford Waterfront Ambassadors. It's a great achievement for self esteem, as well as for our guests' experience.
Then, the guests pay their bill with me and then I utilise this payment; staff wages(which then go back into the local economy), cleaning companies, laundry businesses, butchers, fruiterers, florists, chocolatiers, egg producers, craftspersons and any number of other businesses and artisan producers to maintain my offering to the next sets of guests.
And then the cycle is off again…..
The largest industry and employer in the county
Keep in mind that in Pembrokeshire there is over 1000 B&Bs, this is no small effort going back into the local community and the Tourism Industry. Individually we may be small, but together, we are the largest industry in the county.
So, to celebrate this, our Breakfast Celebration is bringing together our local Assembly Member, Cabinet Minister for Lifelong Learning and other local dignitaries, together with schools representatives, local producers, suppliers and craftspeople so that we can all celebrate how brilliant a small B&B is, and the ripple effect it has on the community.
What have we got on offer for guests?
And, of course for our fabulous guests, we have a great offer. If you are staying on the 17th March, then you will be invited to our celebration and for those of you that can't make that, we will still be happy to celebrate with you with this great offer:
Stay 2 nights and enjoy a third night on us.
Yes, that's right, book a 2 night stay and have the third night free. Available for any stays booked March & April.

Ottawa Public Health looking at how to target COVID-19 transmission without impacting businesses: Dr. Etches
Ottawa's medical officer of health suggests the 28-day shutdown of indoor dining at bars and restaurants and the closing of gyms and movie theatres is a chance to learn more about COVID-19 transmission and how to stop it.
On Oct. 10, the Ontario Government moved Ottawa, Toronto and Peel Region to a modified Stage 2, closing indoor dining at restaurants and bars, movie theatres and gyms for at least 28 days.
CTV News at Six anchor Stefan Keyes asked Dr. Vera Etches Saturday evening if there is any data to suggest the new restrictions have helped reduce COVID-19 transmission in the community.
"I think we need more time. The infections that are being reported now really relate to transmission that happened a couple of weeks ago. So it's too early to judge the impact of the restrictions," said Dr. Etches.
"I can tell you there's lots of thinking about how to target the root of the transmission of the virus and try to keep businesses from being affected as negatively. The root always is what brings us close together, less than two metres away from someone when we're not wearing a mask indoors. So if we can avoid those kinds of activities with people outside our household that will make a difference."
The medical officer of health was asked during CTV News at Six Saturday evening if there was a data threshold that could trigger an extension of the COVID-19 restrictions for bars, restaurants, gyms, indoor sports and movie theatres.
"I think we're still wide open on all of the possibilities of what to do next, in conversation with the province. We want to minimize hospitalizations and deaths, and we certainly are seeing a lot of outbreaks start up because of the level of COVID in our community," said Dr. Etches.
"We need to bring the level down. We know we need to tackle where transmission is happening and what the biggest contributions are, so it's not as simple as looking at an extension or not. We want to learn from this period about what the impact is."
Resident of Hawkesbury long-term care home dies due to COVID-19
A resident at a long-term care home in Hawkesbury has died due to COVID-19.
The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) announced the first death related to COVID-19 at the Prescott and Russell Residence on Saturday evening.
"The UCPR extends its sincere sympathies to the family of the resident," said the UCPR in a statement."
A total of 35 positive cases of COVID-19 were reported at the long-term care home on Oct. 14, including 27 residents.
Eastern Ontario Health Unit 'strongly recommending' no trick-of treating on Halloween
Ghosts, goblins and super heroes in Alexandria, Cornwall, Casselman, Hawkesbury, Rockland and other areas of eastern Ontario are being asked to stay home on Halloween night to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
The Eastern Ontario Health Unit says due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a recent increase in cases, it's "strongly recommending" residents avoid traditional ways of celebrating Halloween, including no trick-or-treating.
In a statement, the health unit says going out trick-or-treating or handing out treats increases your family's risk of getting or spreading COVID-19 because it exposes you to others.

Court of Appeals of Connecticut
June 26, 2018
ALOYSIUS KARGUL ET AL.v.MIKA-ELA SMITH ET AL.
March 6, 2018
process action brought to the Superior Court in the judicial
district of New London at Norwich, Housing Session, where the
court, Newson, J., granted the parties' motion
for a stipulated judgment for possession in favor of the
plaintiffs subject to a stay of execution, and rendered
judgment thereon; thereafter, the court granted the
plaintiffs' motion for execution and denied the
defendants' objection to the execution, and the
defendants appealed to this court. Affirmed.
DeGale, self-represented, with whom, on the brief, was
Mika-Ela Smith, self-represented, the appellants
P. Fiengo, for the appellees (plaintiffs).
Sheldon, Elgo and Bright, Js.
self-represented defendants, Mika-Ela Smith and Mark DeGale,
appeal from the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor
of the plaintiffs, Aloysius Kargul and Barbara Greczkowski.
On appeal, the defendants claim that the trial court lacked
subject matter jurisdiction over this summary process action.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
relevant facts are not in dispute. On August 29, 2016, the
plaintiffs served on the defendants a notice to quit
possession of real property known as 38 Williams Street in
Jewett City due to nonpayment of rent. On October 5, 2016,
the plaintiffs commenced a summary process action against the
defendants (first action), alleging that they had failed to
make payments in accordance with an oral lease agreement
(agreement) between the parties. In response, the defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the action. Before that motion was
acted upon by the court, the plaintiffs on November 8, 2016,
filed a withdrawal of the first action.
plaintiffs served a second notice to quit possession on the
defendants on November 14, 2016. The plaintiffs then
commenced the present summary process action against the
defendants, alleging that the agreement between the parties
had terminated by lapse of time. The parties thereafter filed
a motion for judgment by stipulation with the
court.[1] By order dated January 11, 2017, the court
granted that motion and rendered judgment in accordance with
the stipulation of the parties.
one month later, the plaintiffs filed an affidavit of
noncompliance with the court, in which they averred that the
defendants had failed to comply with the terms of that
judgment. The plaintiffs thus requested that an execution for
possession issue. The defendants objected to that request,
and the court held an evidentiary hearing on the matter. At
the conclusion of that hearing, the court found that the
defendants had violated the terms of the stipulated
judgment.[2] Accordingly, the court ordered that the
summary process execution ''may be issued
immediately.'' This appeal followed.
appeal, the defendants claim that the trial court lacked
subject matter jurisdiction over this summary process action.
They contend that the plaintiffs, in serving the initial
notice to quit possession in August, 2016,
''terminated the agreement between the parties
without equivocation or reservation, '' and thereby
deprived the court of jurisdiction to entertain the summary
process action commenced by the plaintiffs four months later.
The defendants are mistaken.
It is
true that ''[s]ervice of a notice to quit
possession is typically a landlord's unequivocal act
notifying the tenant of the termination of the
lease.'' Housing Authority v. Hird, 13
Conn.App. 150, 155, 535 A.2d 377, cert. denied, 209 Conn.
825, 552 A.2d 433 (1988). As this court has recognized,
however, a plaintiff possesses an ''absolute and
unconditional'' statutory right to withdraw its
summary process action prior to the commencement of a hearing
thereon. Id., 157; see General Statutes § 52-80
(''[t]he plaintiff may withdraw any action . . .
before the commencement of a hearing on [its]
merits''). When a plaintiff exercises that statutory
right, its withdrawal of the action ''effectively
erase[s] the court slate clean as though the eviction
predicated on [an earlier] notice to quit possession had
never been commenced.'' Housing Authority v.
Hird, supra, 157. In such instances, the plaintiff and
the defendant to the summary process action are
'' 'back to square one,' and the
continuation of their lease . . . [is]
restored.'' (Emphasis added.) Id.
For that reason, our Supreme Court has held that
''after withdrawing [an] initial summary process
action, the plaintiffs, as landlords, [are] required to serve
a new notice to quit prior to commencing a new summary
process action.'' Waterbury Twin, LLC v. Renal
Treatment Centers-Northeast, Inc., 292 Conn. 459, 474,
974 A.2d 626 (2009).
by that precedent, we conclude that when the plaintiffs
withdrew the first action against the defendants prior to the
commencement of a hearing on its merits, the continuation of
the agreement between the parties was restored. Housing
Authority v. Hird, supra, 13 Conn.App. 157. The trial
court, therefore, did ...

Hi, I'm Hytherious, loyal to the channel #3,
I'm just 3 weeks old.
I'm here as a voice, because the majority of us, has a little but certainly, annoying problem.
And, is related to our friend list.
We all know that we need our friend list to share the Unique ruins, and viceversa. But there's the moment when we realize that we have a cap for how many friends we can have.
And, well... It feels a bit small for a game where you meet a lot of people and you would like to have them all, but also there's the problem when we think that we have a lot of friends that are just casual people who we have added.
So I have two propositions:
Firstly, it would be great to extend this actual cap of 50 friends, to a bigger number.
And secondly, add some features to the list, like, the last time a player entered the game. So we can easily notice the people who is not active and not "useful" anymore (that sounds really cold haha). And/Or, put a selectable function, to delete some users, so it would be faster than doing it one by one.
That's all,
Thank you for reading,
Also thanks VS for supporting and giving the community an incredible amount of love.
Bear forever waifu,

Explosive Bridgegate Testimony on Christie List of 'Hands-Off' Mayors
NEWARK, N.J. (CN) — Building the case that Gov. Chris Christie's vengeful office orchestrated four days of New Jersey gridlock in 2013, a witness testified Wednesday about blackballing one official who used a slur about the obese governor.
Testifying in a federal trial over a massive traffic jam New Jersey experienced in September 2013, Chris Stark said it was outbursts like that that the governor's office remembered for a list of local mayors and freeholders to be frozen out of communications.
Christie's now-defunct Office of Intergovernmental Affairs called it the "hands-off list," said Stark, one of the IGA's former regional directors.
In fall 2012, after Hurricane Sandy had wreaked devastation on the New Jersey shore, Stark said the IGA received a call from one angry elected official in Monmouth County.
Freeholder John Curley was unhappy that Christie was doing press conferences on the hurricane but none of the heavy lifting.
But Stark remembered that Christie returned the serve, calling Curley back with threats.
"Who the fuck do you think you are," Christie supposedly asked the freeholder. "I will fucking destroy you."
Stark said Christie vowed to begin robocalling Republicans in Curley's county to vote him out.
Before Christie would let Curley back into the fold, Stark said, Curley first had to stand behind Christie at an event.
Stark's testimony of political vengeance in Christie's office echoes the case against the governor's former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Ann Kelly, and Bill Baroni, the governor's top appointee to the public agency that runs the George Washington Bridge.
Prosecutors say the pair engineered a four-day lane closure on the busy bridge in September 2013 to get back at Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat who had refused at the time to support Christie's re-election.
The Monmouth County freeholder who criticized Christie's actions after Hurricane Sandy said in a phone interview this afternoon that his upset words came at a tense time in 2012.
"I can't stand bullshit political speeches," said Curley, a Republican freeholder who began his third term this year.
"People get up and pontificate," but Curley said he was working for the people who put him in office.
"There was tremendous frustration that there wasn't enough being done," Curley added.
Curley remembered Christie as being upset about his words.
"I told him that I was not raised to get personal with people but that Monmouth County needed help," he said.
Stark apparently didn't get the quotation quite right.
"I think I called him a fat motherfucker," Curley said. "I was pretty explicit."
Curley said the outburst "was nothing I'd planned."
"I was frustrated to see people out of their homes," Curley said. "People were coming up to me, saying, 'My kids are hungry. Our home has just been totally destroyed.'
"I walked to his cabinet and said, 'Where is the fat fuck, running for president?'"
Curley said the hurricane damage was "like a nuclear war."
"That day, I'll never forget," he said.
Remembering homes split in half, and cars crashing into living rooms, Curley said he was part of a group getting food, "anything we could for these people."
By the end of that day, Curley said his khakis were soaked in what he thought was mud but more likely the contents of a broken sewer line.
"It's water over the dam at this point," Curley said of his heated exchange with Christie.
The freeholder denied that he went out of his way to kiss the governor's ring for forgiveness.
Though Christie ordered Curley to an event in Keansburg to apologize to him and his cabinet, Curley said he was "going there anyway."
The Monmouth County township was one that had also been devastated by the hurricane.
"I went up on the stage with the mayor, and the governor came up, and I apologized," he said.
Curley sees himself as something of a "Republicat," saying he makes his constituents a priority, and that "seems to rock the boat" with the party.
"I'm the kind of guy, I march to my own drummer," said Curley.
The testimony about Curley came this morning after attorneys concluded eight days of interrogating David Wildstein, the Christie appointee who has already pleaded guilty to his role in the lane closures.
After the court excuses Stark, prosecutors plan to call former Christie staffer Christina Renna as their next witness. Renna became infamous for texting during Christie's Dec. 13, 2013, press conference that the governor had "flat-out lied" about his senior staff not being involved in the lane closures.

That ill-advised 'Emoji Movie' tweet shocked the internet into making jokes
What do the Handmaid's Tale and The Emoji Movie have in common? Nothing, and yet here we are.
In the now-deleted tweet from The Emoji Movie's account, a beaming emoji dressed in red robes appears beside the words "The Emoji's Tale". It's a reference to the Margaret Atwood novel — and now Hulu original series — that depicts a dystopian society in which women have been stripped of their rights. It is, perhaps, the least likely candidate for a fun, emoji mashup.
And because nothing ever truly disappears on the internet, the tweet's still taking heat despite its deletion on Monday afternoon. Take this one back to the drawing board, marketing execs.
Now why would they go and delete something like this? pic.twitter.com/9Z9mWRsKpm
