This is a House/Bass House mix from BNTY HNTR.

Living in the Pacific Northwest we a particularly fortunate to be surrounded by amazing music and amazing musicians, from all walks of life. With so many amazing local musicians we are able to pull inspiration from multiple places. Influences from the likes of Gruv1, Luke Mandala, Theory and Meta Zen all living or originating from the Pacific Northwest, we are truly blessed.

With decades of electronic music appreciation it only seems rite to pay my respects to House music and especially Bass House in particular. I don't feel that any other sound is more specifically recognizable and universally loved than that of Bass House and Speed Garage.

With so many genre of music producing so music amazing tracks its easy to get caught up or lost in one particular style. I myself am guilty of this. It was the one and only Gruv1 whom I credit re-igniting the flame and for my love of this unique sound.

So please enjoy this mix, share it with your friends and loved ones. Feel free to comment, share and leave feedback. Please, by all your ass off!

Tiptastic Tuesday: Practical Tips For Improving Patient Collections In 2015

The Affordable Care Act is now entering its second year. With continued implementation of its many provisions, both patients and providers are still getting use to the new law. 2015 will see a steady increase in the number of patients becoming insured-many for the first time. With higher out-of-pocket costs, more and more patients will become financially responsible for larger portions of their claims. Therefore, as a provider, it is integral to set financial policies in place, so that you are able to collect all monies for your services.

In an effort to assist providers with collections, we have put together a few strategies any organization can implement:

  • Establish a financial policy. Practices should establish a financial policy that is reviewed and distributed every year. This comprehensive policy should provide patients with a clear understanding of the practice’s expectations with regards to patient balances. Make sure each patient signs a copy which you should keep in his or her file. Please note, it is important to update your financial and insurance verification policies annually to reflect requirements of your individual practice.
  • Collection of patient demographic and insurance information should be obtained when the patient makes the appointment. Make sure to enter insurance information into the system prior to the visit for eligibility verification.  Advise each patient in advance to bring a copy of current insurance cards, applicable co-pays, and any deductibles owed. We also suggest that you advise your patients to verify benefits with their particular insurance company prior to the appointment. This way, the patient thoroughly understands his or her contractual obligations.
  • Eligibility verification process. For providers that use our software, Caretracker/Optum PM and Physician EMR, it performs an automatic eligibility check for the next five dates of service. Each patient’s eligibility history is automatically updated when their check is complete. Other systems may work differently and it is important to utilize this functionality to capture your patients’ current insurance information. If you do not have software that checks eligibility, we suggest that you designate a staff member to verify your patients’ insurance prior to visits.
  • Co-pay collection. Practices should collect applicable co-pays prior to visits.
  • Payment plan. With higher out-of-pocket costs and increasing premiums, there’s a good chance there will be a patient who is unable to pay for a service at the time of visit. For situations like these, it may be helpful to set up a payment plan with a promise to pay. Draft a form and make sure the patient signs it. Give the patient a copy and keep one in your accounts receivable section. This way, you will be alerted with a reminder to process a credit card, or collect cash or a check. Be sure to always follow up with a patient who has not paid on time.
  • Credit cards. Another great option for your organization is to have a credit card machine. Credit cards are a safe option to ensure payments are made on time.

Holding Of 2015 Date-Of-Service Claims For Services Paid Under 2015 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule

The CY 2015 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) final rule was published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2014. Medicare Administrative Contractors will hold claims containing 2015 services paid under the MPFS for the first 14 calendar days of January 2015 in an effort to implement corrections to technical errors discovered after the publication of the MPFS rule. Please note, this hold will have a minimal impact on provider cash flow as, under current law, clean electronic claims are not paid sooner than 14 days (29 days for paper claims) after the date of receipt. MPFS claims for services provided on or before Wednesday, December 31, 2014 are unaffected by the 2015 claims hold and will be processed and paid under the normal procedures and time frames.

6.4 Million Have Already Enrolled To Obtain Healthcare Coverage For 2015

Between November 15 and December 18, HealthCare.gov enrolled 1.9 million new customers for health insurance. During the same time, 4.5 million existing policyholders re-enrolled or were automatically renewed into their existing policy or similar one beginning January 1, 2015. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell believes the numbers indicate “an encouraging start.”

For those who were re-enrolled, percentages around the mid-to high-30s logged into the system and either renewed their old plans or changed it to a different one. The rest were re-enrolled automatically. Anyone who was auto-renewed can change plans until February 15, 2015. Increased competition among plans, variations in premiums or benefits, and changes in financial circumstances have caused many people to switch plans.

Burwell remained tight-lipped about whether her department is making contingency plans in the event the Supreme Court rules that subsidies are not available in the 37 states where HealthCare.gov is operating the exchange.

Step Back, Pause, and Recharge

I moved to Toronto in 2012, and I didn’t know anyone in the city.

Woman, portrait, hat

It seemed really hectic.

Woman, portrait, hat

So I was looking for a place where I could step back, pause, and recharge.

Woman, toronto, garden, spadina house museumbee, nature, flower, yellow

I found the Spadina Museum House and Gardens on a list of historic Toronto sites.

architecture, toronto, spadina house museum architecture, toronto

They have a very private garden. It’s a very intimate space. Not crowded or far away.

garden, stone

One spring, I came here to see the cherry blossoms.

woman, garden, toronto, portrait

I just happened to fall asleep.

The wind had blown the petals off the trees, and I woke up covered in cherry blossoms!

That was really nice.

Thanks to May for sharing her story. Check out her alternative modelling work!

Fireplace Mantel Options

To paint or not to paint? That really is the question.

Photo: Fireplace

My partner and I are moving into a new apartment, and it has this lovely vintage gas fireplace with a darkly stained mantel.

Photo Blog March 2 Fireplace Mantel Tiles

The fireplace is faced with some pretty interesting tile — but I can’t decide whether I hate it or love it.

I am trying to figure out whether to leave the mantel stained, keeping the look traditional, or just paint it out. In my search for inspiration, I’ve come across some gorgeous mantels. Obviously not all of them will suit our space and the existing elements — but they are still fun to review! Here are a couple of options…

Photo Blog March 2 Fireplace Mantel Black

Option 1: Paint it black. I love this look — it’s so sophisticated, and with so many graphic elements in the space, the black really grounds the room.

photo: living room style - Rustic

Option 2: Go rustic. I love the roughed up look of this one. I’m not sure if the landlord would be too happy about this treatment, though…!

Photo: living room - Keep it simple

Option 3: Keep it simple. This is my favourite from the Lulu DK website. It’s so clean and simple, plus it highlights all the other elements in the room.

Now to make a decision — that’s a whole other story! What would you suggest?

For more mantel inspiration, view our Fireplaces And Mantel Displays photo gallery.

See how H&H‘s Kai Ethier redecorated her principal bedroom and installed a VELUX skylight to create a dreamy reading nook. Practical storage solutions make the most of the small space, and a blush pink wall color gives the room a cozy, warm vibe. After watching the video, click here to enter to win a sun tunnel!

The old bubble skylight in Kai’s third-floor bedroom was leaking so she visited a VELUX showroom to find a no-leak replacement. After the installation by Snow’s Construction, Kai removed the sliding doors leading to her deck, making the skylight the primary source of natural light. Below the skylight, Kai installed a dresser and a daybed with storage underneath. A modular closet hidden behind custom linen drapes keeps things organized.

Women's history at small repositories

2013-02-27 17:06

Since it's Women's History Month, I thought I would highlight some of the collections relating to women's history that Celia and I have surveyed since beginning Phase II of the Small Repositories project. In an earlier blog post, Celia mentioned a few women's history-related collections that were surveyed during the project's pilot phase.

Women have figured prominently in several family papers that Celia and I have surveyed including the Alice H. Ambler family papers, 1836-1979 (bulk 1865-1925) located at the Plymouth Meeting Historical Society.

The Amblers were a prominent Quaker family, and this collection, largely correspondence, documents three generations of Ambler women: its creator Alice H. Ambler (1889-1981); her mother, Annie F. Webster Ambler; and her grandmother, Eliza Moore Ambler. Alice H. Ambler was an independent, modern woman. Receiving a Master's degree from Columbia University during the mid-1920s, she held several occupations, including teacher and store owner. Alice's mother, Annie F. W. Ambler, worked to support her family by taking in boarders after her husband died at an early age.

Alice H. Ambler's driver's license

Another collection that includes a significant amount of documentation on the women of a particular family is the Headley family papers, circa 1788-1981, at Historic Fallsington. The Headley family was a prominent and socially-active family from Fallsington, Bucks County. The collection largely documents the family of Charles Moon Headley and Elizabeth Schurz Headley, including their daughters Alice Headley Woodruff (1894-1989) and Eleanor Christina Headley (b. 1897).

Of note is Eleanor Headley's diary, 1918. Besides writing about her personal life, Eleanor frequently documents and references World War I events.

The above clipping and diary entry document the sinking of the SS Tuscania (1914) that was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland in 1918. It was the first ship carrying American troops to Europe to be torpedoed and sunk during the war.

Celia and I have also come across the records of several women's organizations, particularly literary and social clubs that had their beginnings around the turn of the century.

During the mid to late-19th century, women, particularly those in the middle and upper classes, began to enjoy an increased degree of freedom from housework and had more free time to pursue social endeavors. Thus, those who could afford it began to form their own social clubs much in the same way men had for decades.  Moreover, the growth of the women’s movement made "women (primarily those with wealth and means) recognize the need for more organizations that promoted and protected their interests." Women began to form clubs that focused on educational, cultural, and civic improvement. (New Century Trust records finding aid)

The women's clubs that Celia and I surveyed seem to have quickly evolved from purely literary and social clubs to organizations that were more civic and service-oriented. Two examples include the Travel Club of Bristol records, 1901-1994, located at the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library and the Newtown New Century Club records, 1895-1980, at Newtown Historic Association

Mrs. Emlen Martin organized the Travel Club of Bristol with sixteen charter members in 1901. Initially, members gathered at each other's homes to discuss their travels and to study other cultures. However, the Club quickly became much more civic-minded "realizing the need for a service club for women and the valuable service they could be to the community." The club became involved in a number of charitable programs, including volunteering at Lower Bucks Hospital and the Red Cross. ("History of the Travel Club of Bristol" brochure)

The Club was admitted to the Pennsylvania Federation of Women's Clubs in 1906, the General Federation of Women's Clubs in 1925, and was incorporated in 1936 as the "Travel Club of Bristol."

The collection includes various records of the organization, including scrapbooks, minute books, ledgers, printed annual reports, correspondence, financial papers, ephemera, membership and attendance records, photographs, and ephemera. The minute books form nearly a complete set, 1901-1980; and there is a large amount of financial records, 1924-1991. Also included in the collection are Junior Travel Club scrapbooks dating from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Organized in November 1895 and federated the following year, the Newtown New Century Club was a literary club that began with over 30 members. (The Club modeled itself off of the New Century Club of Wilmington, Delaware.) At meetings, members presented papers and literary works. Like the Bristol Travel Club, the New Century Club also became involved in civic affairs and community service.

The collection documents over 80 years of the Club's history through minute books (including minutes from its founding in 1895), treasurer's books, financial and legal papers, officer lists, scrapbooks, correspondence, and programs and ephemera.

Besides literary and social clubs, Celia and I have also come across records for sororal organizations that had formed as auxiliaries to fraternal organizations. For example, the Lansdale Historical Society holds records of the local chapter of the Daughters of America.

The Daughters of America, still believed to be in existence today, is a secret, nativist and mutual benefit society dating from the late 19th century. It was founded in 1891 as an auxiliary of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, though it did not receive recognition from its male counterpart until 1926. The first charter of the Daughters of America was issued in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania as the "The National Council Daughters of America." By 1930, it reported having over 160,000 members. The organization's numbers were reduced to about 19,000 in 26 states by 1978. The society, which was open only to white women of "good moral character," promoted extreme patriotism, the public school system, and the reading of the Bible in schools.

The Lansdale chapter of the Daughters of America, Mary Lincoln Council No. 168, opened in 1934. The collection, dating from 1934 to 1973, consists of several minute books and officers' roll books.

Most recently, Celia and I surveyed the collection of a very interesting women's organization that was located in New Hope, Pa.: the New Hope Public Health Nursing Association.

Originally named the American Red Cross Public Health Association of New Hope, the organization was established in 1920. At the time, it was the only public nursing agency in the community and covered an area of a four-mile radius. Services provided included: general nursing, communicable disease protection and prevention, maternity care, infant supervision, and loan of medical supplies. A nominal fee for care was waived in cases of financial hardship.

Two final collections that I'd like to highlight are the James M. Shimer Kaiser-Fleetwings papers, 1942-1958, and the Henry A. Liese Fleetwings papers, circa 1934-1981, located at the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library. In documenting the history of the Fleetwings Corporation, an aircraft and aircraft components manufacturing company located in Bristol, Pa. from 1934 to 1962, these collections document women's significant involvement in industry during World War II. They also document women's involvement in sports and other extra-curricular activities during that time period.

Fleetwings "Sparrows"

Fleetwings "Sparrows"

Many of the collections that we have surveyed for the Small Repositories project document the multiple experiences of Philadelphia-area women from roughly the late 18th century to the present; though, it should be noted that those documented are mostly middle and upper-class white women.

Researchers interested in women's history, including women's everyday life experiences in the private sphere as well as their increased participation and presence in the public sphere, will benefit from delving into these collections.

Fangirling Chinese Novels

Come & Eat, Shan Shan (杉杉来吃) – Joint Epilogue (Final Part 3)

Sob sob, this is the last joint epilogue on Feng Teng and Shan Shan until probably 20 years later 😛  I have good quality pictures of Feng Teng and Shan Shan only so don’t blame me for being bias 😛 I did not buy the reprinted novel and my source was deleted before I managed to save Xiao Nai’s family pictures 😦 At least I found you all the pretty pictures in the reprint book as it is not easy to find them, not even in Chinese website. For your information, the movie version of Wei Wei & Xiao Nai will start filming in May with a famous actress and an unconfirmed actor. Who could that be?

This is another hilarious chapter on Feng Teng vs Xiao Nai. Needless to ask who I am more fond of 😛 It’ll be interesting to read about Feng Teng vs Cong Cong in the future, lol. Thank you for reading and this is really THE END 😦 Lastly, a big thank you to hoju for helping me with the editing especially the gaming terminology and also bongsd for helping to search for Xiao Nai’s family pictures.

Final Joint Epilogue Five (translated by peanuts & edited by hoju)

Cong Cong is banned from going online.

Shan Shan feels even more lonely because she can’t see Cong Cong’s cute little figure in the game —— Now, even if she is dead all over the ground, nobody will pull her up. Wei Wei is the battle type and does not have the ability to pull people. Xiao Nai can’t be bothered to pull this kind of teammate who is similar to a pig. Feng Teng …… oh, he is the type of humankind who’ll smile after she dies, the shameless type who, at the same time will say —— “Dead againIn that case, go warm the bed first” ……

In short! Without Cong Cong, what is the point of playing games?!

But even though she can’t see him in the online games, she can still meet him in person ah! Shan Shan enthusiatically issues an invitation to Cong Cong’s whole family.

It just so happens that Xiao Nai’s company is on the verge of launching a new collaboration with Feng Teng Technologies. It is appropriate for the leaders from both sides to exchange visits.  As a result, Xiao Nai gladly accepts the invitation. He’ll bring his wife and children to S City again.

Xue Shan Shan is very excited getting ready for Wei Wei’s whole family’s arrival.

First of all, what to eat?

“Sichuan cuisine.” Feng Teng is sitting on the sofa and flipping through a financial magazine. Without looking up, he makes the decision with that brief remark.

Shan Shan stops bustling around in circles. “They like spicy food?”

“Yes,Feng Teng says calmly, “According to my understanding of my business partner, President Xiao is especially fond of it.”

Oh, that is good. The let’s start with three days of  Sichuan cuisine. Especially spicy!” Shan Shan proudly finalizes.

Secondly, what activities to arrange?

I’ll arrange this.” Feng Teng squints and lines-up in his mind the sports he is good at: swimming, tennis, billiards ……

Unable to defeat him in online games, but don’t tell me I’ll still lose when pk him in person?

President Feng sneers in his heart, sharpening the knife.

Lastly, and also the most crucial detail. Shan Shan stares in distress at the two babies who are crawling around on the carpet next to Feng Teng’s feet and randomly grabs the one wearing a bow.

“When our family Cong Xing (Follow the Stars) meets Cong Cong, what clothes should she wear?

The Feng family’s fraternal brother-sister twins‘ formal names are Feng Cong Lue (Follow Strategy) and Feng Cong Xing. Currently, they are still in the reptile stage of crawling around on their bellies.

Regarding Cong Cong, Shan Shan has never given up on her evil intentions. The first matchmaking date …… oh wait, no, it is a meeting, is very important, don’t you think so?  Though her daughter cannot walk upright yet, but …… this is not important ……

Even if she is still like a crawling reptile now, they must still leave Cong Cong a deep impression so he will remember her for a decade!

Consequently, on the day they go to pick them up, Shan Shan gets up early in the morning to start fiddling with her daughter.

Rabbit costume? Will it be too obviously playing cute?

Tiger costume? No that won’t do. It’s as if to say she’ll become a tigress in the future.

Then, turtle costume?

Seems extraordinarily refined ah ……

Finally Feng Teng cannot stand it any longer and seizes his pitiful darling daughter. He randomly puts a little dress on her and carries her out of the house.

In order to express the importance of the cooperative partner to him, Feng Teng this time personally drives to the airport to pick them up. However the airplane does not give him any face and is delayed. As a result, Feng Teng has no choice but to bring his wife and children to wait in a cafe.

Shan Shan is holding her milk tea, looking around in reminiscing at this cafe.

I remember I waited here for you once but I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up, you were sitting opposite of me and drinking coffee.”

Feng Teng is also sitting opposite of her and drinking coffee now, his posture still so handsome and elegant. In comparison to a few years ago, when he is not speaking, he appears even more dignified …… if there is no chubby baby sucking his finger and sitting on his lap

“Hmm.” Feng Teng puts down his coffee cup and lifts up his hand slightly. The black gemstone cufflinks on the white shirt are faintly discernible. “It just so happens that I used your cufflinks today.”

Shan Shan pulls a face at him.

Feng Teng looks at his watch. Just as he is about to say something, the look on his face suddenly changes.  Bowing his head, he sees his darling son is biting his own finger and looking up at him innocently.

Two hours later, Xiao Nai and his family finally arrive late.

“President Feng.” Xiao Nai is still looking handsome. He holds his baby single-handedly and extends his other hand in a friendly motion.

“President Xiao.” Feng Teng’s expression is sullen as he holds a baby in one arm and politely shakes Xiao Nai’s hand with the other.

On the other side, Shan Shan has already rushed over to Cong Cong. Cong Cong.”

“Auntie Shan Shan.” Cong Cong politely greets her.

Cong Cong can still remember auntie ah?” Although they always play online games together, they’ve not met in person for a long time.

“I remember.” His little face is serious as he nods.

Shan Shan is momentariy smitten. Come, come, come. Come home with auntie.”

Shan Shan unhesitatingly thrusts her own daughter to Wei Wei and holds Cong Cong’s small hand.

On the way home, President Feng is driving and Xiao Nai is sitting in the front passenger seat next to him. Wei Wei and Shan Shan are sitting at the back.

Wei Wei quietly asks Shan Shan: “What is the matter with your boss? The look on his face hasn’t seemed right this whole time?”

Shan Shan gives an evil laugh: “Lue Lue’s diaper was not put on properly, so he went to the toilet to change a new one for his son. As a result, Lue Lue urinated on him ……

Wei Wei bursts out laughing.

Up front Driver Feng immediately coughs once.

Shan Shan instantly puts away her gloating smile and tries to salvage her husband’s pride. She puts on a look of contempt at Wei Wei: “What’s so funny about this? Don’t tell me your Dashen (big God) has never been urinated on by his children before?

Wei Wei says very regretfully: “No.”

Shan Shan is very shocked: “Ah, how did he manage that?!”

What is that tone of adoration all about? If he is not driving, Feng Teng simply wants to grab his wife over and give her a good lesson. Xiao Nai who is sitting next to him, gives him a quick look, and then with a smiling expression, he says to the back“Wei Wei, don’t overdo it.”

“Oh!” Wei Wei follows the sound advice immediately.

The inside of the car is quiet for a while. Then Feng Teng slowly says, “President Xiao is really someone in the technology field, being such an expert even in changing diapers.”

“You are flattering me.” Xiao Nai says casually. “Even though I am younger than President Feng, I’ve been a father for several years now, so I’ve a little more experience than you.”

Feng Teng: ……”

Wei Wei: Didn’t you say don’t overdo it? ……

Why does Wei Wei’s Dashen always speak in such a manner as to make people choke? ……

Shan Shan sympathetically changes the topic and happily discusses their plans with Wei Wei.

Feng Teng said both of you like to eat spicy food, so I’ve specially invited a chef who is an expert in Sichuan cuisine. We’ll be eating Sichuan cuisine for the next few days, and I guarantee you’ll get all kinds of spiciness!”

Wei Wei: …… ah?”

…… But Dashen cannot eat spicy food ah.

Xiao Nai coughs a bit. “President Feng?”

President Feng calmly replies: “President Xiao, don’t need to be so courteous. As the host, I’ve to offer hospitality. After lunch, how about you all have a rest and then how about playing some chess? If there is time, we can also hit some balls. Or my house swimming pool is also quite nice.”

Xiao Nai immediately understands and smiles, “Since President Feng is in such a mood, I will certainly keep you company.”

Wei Wei, who can understand the veiled sharpness of their words, is silent. Shan Shan who does not understand is feeling anxious. “If you are hitting balls in the afternoon, you’ve to go to the tennis courts ah. Then what are we to do with the children? It seems that have to find someone to look after them.”

“You are right.” Wei Wei continues, “Both of our children already can take care of themselves. But both of yours ……

“No need to be so troublesome.” Xiao Nai raises his voice: Cong Cong.”

Sitting in the middle between mummy and auntie Shan Shan, Cong Cong, who is holding his brother’s feeding bottle, lifts his head and looks at his daddy when he hears this.

His daddy casually instructs: “Look after uncle’s family’s little brother and little sister for the next few days.”

Xue Shan Shan feels her views of the life and the world and how it should all run has been shattered to pieces.

“Is that really okay?

At the tennis courts, Shan Shan is holding her tennis racket and looking out at the pretty picnic blanket spread on top of the grass. Her two babies have been placed comfortably on the blanket with all kinds of baby products next to them.

Baby feeding bottles, baby formula, diapers and so on ……

“We’re really going off by ourselves to play and handing all of this over to Cong Cong?”

“He is already six years old.” The one saying this like this is a matter of course is Dashen. Then he leaves, holding his racket.

Wei Wei strokes Cong Cong’s head. “Mom will be back soon.”

Cong Cong nods his head.

Feng Teng looks at Cong Cong and all of a sudden also feels reassured. He also walks towards the courts. “Shan Shan, let’s go.”

Ah? They really are doing it!

Shan Shan stares after those three who never even look back. Wei Wei, you’re also following your Dashen and just leaving like this? Is this really okay?

Cong Cong, are you really capable of doing this?

Cong Cong looks at the three babies, big and small, on the picnic blanket. The two chubby babies who look about the same are blinking their eyes as they look at him. And then he looks at his younger brother Yue Liang (Moon) beside him, who is holding his feeding bottle and looking unhappy. Suddenly he feels a little stressed —— Have to take care of three all at once, ah ……

He worriedly waves his tiny hands towards Shan Shan. “Goodbye auntie.”

“…… See you later.”

With difficulty, Shan Shan drags her racket with her and leaves.

Five days later, after several rounds of PK, Feng Teng and Xiao Nai’s battle progress is as follows:

Tennis singles, Boss wins. Doubles with their wives, Boss suffers a crushing defeat.

Swimming …… the dialogue before the battle is as follows:

Xiao Nai: “President Feng, if I win this, let try changing the cuisine tomorrow?”

Feng Teng: “Regretfully, I would reckon that President Xiao will be unable to change it.”

A few minutes later, Xiao Nai comes up from the swimming pool and takes a towel to wipe the water droplets on his body. He calmly says, “Cantonese cuisine la.”

Basketball, Dashen wins.

Golf, Boss wins.

The outcome in the game of Go is each takes half the wins.

Ignoring the fact that he suffered a crushing defeat when partnering with his wife in tennis, Feng Teng feels generally, he still seems to have won a little bit more. Thus, on the sixth day, President Feng who completely had not had the time or attention to talk about business, half-satisfiedly and half-unwillingly sends Xiao Nai’s whole family off to their flight.

Looking at the back view of this family of four as they walk into the security checkpoint area, Feng Teng suddenly speaks.

“Your plan is pretty good.”

Shan Shan looks at him strangely. “What plan?”

“The plan to have them marry into our family and live with us after marriage. In my opinion, it should be Xiao Ming Cong.” Feng Teng is very pleased with his finalized conclusion.

The author’s little note: Although Big Boss fancies Cong Cong of Dashen’s family to be his son-in-law, the author has already thought it through. Assuming 20 years later, she’ll write the story of the next generation, it ought to be called “Ming Yue Cong Xing” la  ￫_￫ (Ming Yue Cong Xing means “the bright moon shall follow the stars.” It’s also a play on the names of Dashen’s younger son, Xiao Ming Yue — although it’s not the same “yue” — and Big Boss’s daughter, Feng Cong Xing.)

‘A Surge in the Diplomacy for Peace Would Be My Priority’ – UN Secretary-General-Designate

Human Wrongs Watch

19 October 2016 (UN News Centre)* – On 13 October 2016, the UN General Assembly appointed, by acclamation António Guterres, as the next United Nations Secretary-General, to succeed Ban Ki-moon when he steps down on 31 December.

António Guterres, Secretary-General-designate, speaks to journalists at the General Assembly stakeout following his appointment by acclamation to serve as the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. UN Photo/Kim Haughton

Mr. Guterres, aged 67, was Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees from June 2005 to December 2015.

Adopting a consensus resolution put forward by its President, Peter Thomson, the Assembly acted on the recommendation of the UN Security Council, which on 6 October forwarded Mr. Guterres’ name to the 193-member body as its nominee for UN Secretary-General for a five-year period, ending 31 December 2021.

He will become the world’s top diplomat on 1 January 2017, and hold that post for the next five years.

Speaking about his appointment, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said Mr. Guterres was “a wonderful choice to steer this Organization as we build on the progress of the past decade, while addressing the insecurity and uncertainties of today’s world.”

The UN News Centre caught up with Mr. Guterres soon after his appointment, and first asked what his most pressing or urgent priorities will be, when he assumes office in January.

UN Secretary-General-designate: If you allow me before answering your question, I would like to express – as this is UN Media – to express my deep solidarity with all UN staff. I had the privilege to be a colleague during 10 years of service in UNHCR and I am thrilled with the possibility of becoming a colleague again on the first of January, and I want to say that I am looking forward to working with all UN staff everywhere in the world.

And now coming back to your question: I think the first priority is with relation to peace. The lack of peace is the most dramatic problem we are facing in today’s world.

We have seen a multiplication of new conflicts; old conflicts never die. Look at Somalia or Afghanistan or Democratic Republic of Congo; and the world has changed. There is a feeling of impunity and unpredictability and the international community has lost much of its capacity to prevent conflicts and to solve them.

And so a surge in the diplomacy for peace would be my priority. I know that that depends a lot on Member States, and that the Secretary-General has a limited capacity, but acting as a convener, a catalyst, an honest broker, I hope it will be possible to bring more and more Member States together.

And understand that in today’s world, the wars that we are having have become so nasty, the suffering of people is so terrible, but worse than that, the impact of those wars in our collective security became so dangerous that indeed, it’s high time for all those attached – involved in the conflicts or have an influence on the parties to the conflicts – it’s high time to come together and understand that the common interest for global security is much more important than the eventual divisions that might exist between them.

UN News Centre: So do you believe peace, or the lack of it, is the main reason behind most of the world’s crises: with the refugees, financial, armed conflict, and terrorism?

UN Secretary-General-designate: It is clear that all this is interlinked, and it is clear that a surge in diplomacy for peace is the best way to, at the same time, help us limit human suffering in all dimensions. And the refugee dimension is, of course, one of the most dramatic ones.

UN News Centre: When you think about your new job, what are the main worries or challenges that come into mind?

UN Secretary-General-designate: I think that the main challenge at the present moment is to make sure that we are more effective in relation to the diplomacy for peace that I mentioned.

But there are huge challenges in relation to the reform of the organization; to make it more effective and more able to deliver in relation to the people we care for all over the world.

And there are challenges to make sure that those important achievements that were possible in the recent past, thanks largely to the initiative of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, namely, the Agenda 2030 and the Climate Change Agreement, to make sure that those landmark decisions are effectively implemented, that there’s an effective follow-up. And then all the questions of making sure that human rights are assumed as a common responsibility of mankind and of all Member States.

UN News Centre: For the first time in the process of selecting a UN Secretary-General, we have seen several female candidates step forward and be considered. I’d like to ask about your thoughts on the role of women in senior positions.

UN Secretary-General-designate: First of all, I fully recognize the symbolic value of having a woman as Secretary-General of the United Nations, or as head of state in any country around the world. But there’s nothing I can do about it.

I am not a woman, I am sorry. What I can do, is to make sure that for the Organization, first of all in everything we do around the world, the empowerment and protection of women and girls is a central priority, and second, that we are working inside the organization to reach parity between men and women at all levels in the nearest possible future.

As I said, I cannot do anything about my gender, but I can have a very strong commitment to gender equality in everything related to the United Nations.

UN News Centre: So would you consider having a woman as your DSG?

UN Secretary-General-designate: I think it’s an absolute necessity. Parity means that if the Secretary-General is a woman, then the Deputy Secretary-General should be a man, and if the Secretary-General is a man, that the Deputy Secretary-General should be a woman.

The UN Secretary-General-designate, Antonio Guterres has pledged to make “a surge in diplomacy for peace” his priority. But as he prepares to take the mantle from Ban Ki-moon, the next UN chief told UN News Services that he wishes to continue the work that his predecessor had begun, especially implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and enforcing the Paris Agreement for Climate Change. He also acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead for him and the organisation, including reforming the organisation and a greater push for respect for human rights.

UN News Centre: You were the UN High Commissioner for Refugees for over 10 years. How will you use your expertise in this area in your new capacity as Secretary-General to address the needs of refugees and migrants?

UN Secretary-General-designate: I have to say that I was very worried in the recent past to see a serious deterioration of refugee protection in the world; and such high levels of hostility with populist and xenophobic approaches in relation to migration to many parts of the world.

I hope that recent summits that happened in relation to refugees and migration would help change these trends, and I will do everything I can to reverse these trends, for refugee protection to be assumed as a global responsibility, as it is.

And it’s not only the refugee convention. It’s deeply rooted in all cultures and all religions everywhere in the world. You see in Islam, you see in Christianity, you see in Africa, in different religions, in Buddhism and Hinduism, there is a strong commitment to refugee protection.

So to make sure that countries are able to respect, not only international law, but to assume their full solidarity with those in need of protection that are fleeing those horrible conflicts that we are witnessing, will of course be a priority, but also to look into migration from a humane point of view, and recognizing that migration is part of the solution of global problems.

It only needs to be effectively regulated. It only needs to be based on the cooperation among states, not to have people dying and at the same time those smugglers and traffickers or criminal gangs prospering because there is no effective cooperation between countries of origin, countries of transit, countries of destination, and migration is not considered as one of the natural elements in which the world solves its problems.

UN News Centre: The job of the UN Secretary-General has been described by many people as an impossible job. Now, how are you going to turn the impossible into the possible?

UN Secretary-General-designate: I’ll do my best. That’s the only thing I can tell. I’ll put everything I have in my capacity at the service of the noble cause and noble values of the UN and the UN Charter.

How to Save Lives and Cut Climate Change by Protecting Peatlands

Human Wrongs Watch

A new global initiative was launched on 17 November 2016 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 22) under way in Marrakech, aims to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and save thousands of live by protecting peatlands – the largest terrestrial organic soil carbon stock.

According to the UN environment Programme (UNEP), the Global Peatlands Initiative seeks mobilize governments, international organizations and academia in an effort to protect peatlands, which contain almost 100 times more carbon than tropical forests.

If global temperatures continue to rise, this could lead to thawing permafrost, switching boreal and Arctic peatlands from carbon sinks to sources, resulting in huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and potentially causing climate change to spiral out of control.

Erik Solheim, head of UN Environment stressed that despite the Paris Agreement, global temperatures will rise over 3 degrees Celsius this century. “This will cause misery and chaos for millions of vulnerable people, so we cannot afford to let any opportunity to reduce emissions slip by,” he added.

Mr. Solheim also urged taking action through the Global Peatlands Initiative, as it is “critical we do not reach the tipping point that will see peatlands stop sinking carbon and start spewing it into the atmosphere, destroying any hope we have of controlling climate change.”

UNEP said that peatlands are coming under increased threat from conversion for palm oil and pulp wood production, which may result in environmental problems such as enormous fires in Indonesia and Russia in recent years. In recent years, Indonesia has suffered from peat forest fires, resulting in greater emissions than the daily ones from the entire United States economy.

However, emission is not the only negative impact of peatland degradation. The 2015 peat fires in Indonesia may have indirectly killed up to 100,000 people through the toxic haze, in addition to causing $16.1 billion in economic damage, according to recent studies.

Therefore, with support from over a dozen partners, a UN Environment team launched the largest effort on peat so far, called the Global Peatlands Initiative, which aims to increase the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of peatlands in countries with significant peat deposits.

The initiative was launched at the Global Landscapes Forum, the leading side event of the UN’s COP22 climate change talks in Marrakech, Morocco.

The Global Peatlands Initiative was founded by the governments of Indonesia, Peru, the Republic of Congo, UNEP, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, CIFOR, Wetlands International, UNEP-WCMC, GRID-Arendal, Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, European Space Agency, WRI, Greifswald Mire Centre and StarVision/Sateligence.

Framed By A Burned Tyre

with 5 comments

Forty five years ago, a housewife named Lucille Miller, who just turned 35, came to trial in San Bernardino for the murder of her husband, a dentist Gordon “Cork” Miller. It was a sensation, and not only because Lucille Miller was pregnant when it began, but also because she admitted that “at one time” she wanted to marry Attorney Arthwell Hayton, who in previous testimony admitted to secret motel meetings with her.

Cork Miller burned to death in the back seat of a 1964 Volkswagen. Lucile intended to make the murder look as if the car had rolled over an embankment and burst into flames. She would have had time in that deserted neighborhood to get home before the accident was reported. Instead, the car got stuck in the sand in low gear, and burst into flames. Mrs. Miller was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, but released after seven years.

Above, Lucille Miller and her attorney Edward Foley go over transcript of her murder trial on February 17, 1965–the second day of the trial. Her defense claimed that the accident was caused by the burnt tire seen above. The photo was taken by John Malmin for LA Times.

Oligarchy versus Democracy and Regulation versus Deregulation under the Globalization Effect

Listed author(s):
  • Dumitru-Alexandru BODISLAV

    (Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies)

Registered author(s):

    On capitalism that is created under the pressure of globalization there are created many economic systems that derived into a new model: the asymmetric model created from propriety rights’ perspective and the influence of interest groups, an asymmetric model that is called “oligarchy”(1). For a better understanding of oligarchy we consider an oligarchic society, where the political power is in the hands of the producers of goods, that tend to protect their propriety rights, but this way they create entry barriers, destroying the propriety rights of future potential producers. Capitalism was and is stressed by the (de)regulation phenomena created by the competition which is shaped through globalization. With ease we can go from (de)regulating to oligarchic pressure, which from the globalization’s perspective can give birth to the lagging or decoupling in the global economic system. This paper researches these two cases and inserts them into the global framework to result the evolution of society’s members’ welfare.

Management by projects and its implications for the model of employment – the Polish perspective

Listed author(s):
  • Dominika Bąk-Grabowska

    (Wroclaw University of Economics)

  • Katarzyna Piwowar-Sulej

    (Wroclaw University of Economics)

The article raises the issue of creating employment in project-oriented organizations (POO) considering Polish conditions. It has been assumed that the demands of a specific project influence the condition and forms of employment (the model of employment) in all POO. Management by projects (MBP) with regard to the characteristics of projects requires using flexible – the so-called non-employment – forms of employment. As shown in the presented research results non-employment contracts are not a preferred form. It can also influence the occurrence of problems in project realization. One of the essential prerequisites for exploring the given subject is its marginal depiction in the subject literature.

Ageing and Fiscal Imbalances Across Generations: Concepts of Measurement

Listed author(s):
  • Robert Fenge
  • Martin Werding

In the literature, several approaches have been taken to measure the impact of demographic ageing on public pension schemes, with particular attention being paid to potential fiscal imbalances across the generations involved in demographic transition. In this paper, we review three of these measures - viz., “net pension liabilities” and “general government fiscal balances” as suggested by the OECD, as well as “generational accounting” in the Auerbach- Kotlikoff tradition. We show how these approaches are related to each other by the general idea that unfunded pensions create an implicit public debt, and we discuss the problems involved in applying and interpreting them in a real-world context. In addition, we suggest the “implicit tax” entailed in public pensions as a further concept for measuring the inter-generational distribution of burdens arising in ageing populations. The notion of an implicit tax is straightforward from simple pension algebra; it is easy to interpret in a theoretical perspective; and it can be introduced to various kinds of applied work using micro-level data.

Experimentally Elicited Beliefs Explain Privacy Behavior

  • David RivenbarK

    (University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL)

Registered author(s):

    The privacy literature has recognized a dichotomy between reported values of privacy and actual behavior. People tend to say they value privacy highly, and then behave in ways which seem to contradict these statements. In this experiment, the consequences of privacy loss were controlled using a voluntary contributions mechanism that isolated personal information from the natural world. Elicited values were higher than what has typically been observed in the literature. The evidence does not support a “privacy paradox.” Subjective expected utility maximization explains the dichotomy. Trust and asymmetric beliefs are substantial determinants of (information) values.

Project Weekend

This weekend has been all about getting things done. I’ve been procrastinating on a few projects in varying stages of completion. And now? Well, I still have a few. But less than yesterday! One project in particular has been on pause for a year and a half, but it’s now complete. I finally have a headboard.

I was inspired by a post I found on Pinterest about spray painting rubber floor mats to use as wall art. It’s a super easy project (even for me) with a cute and colourful result.

I gathered 3 cheapo rubber floor mats from Zellers at $10 a piece. I found cuter ones elsewhere, but they ranged from $15 to $20, and I had set a $50 budget total. I also picked up a couple cans of Krylon Spray Paint in Blue Ocean Breeze. I grabbed a few nails from my tool box, an empty egg carton, and some newspaper to protect the floor from the spray paint. That’s everything I needed for this project.

Step 1: Spray paint the mats.

My memory is foggy as this part was done a long time ago, so I can’t remember how many coats it took to cover the mats completely. I’m pretty sure I used up both cans of paint.

Spray paint the mats.

Step 2: Spray paint the nails.

The nails won’t be hidden when the mats are affixed to the wall. It probably won’t be very noticeable, but why not spray paint the nails anyway? This is where the egg carton comes in handy.

Step 2

Step 3: Hang the mats.

That’s it. Easy peasy. Have a look at one of the painted mats – cute, right?

Finished mat

The finished product. By the way, this Krylon colour looks completely different depending on the lighting. It might be a good idea to spray paint a small piece of cardboard or something and place it in the spot where the mat will hang to ensure it’s the colour you actually want. The difference between the photos above and below is not a trick of the camera. Luckily, I prefer the mint to the aqua. Now I just need sheets that match the mint.
