E-prescribing of controlled substances now possible with application approval

August 3, 2011

DrFirst?s release of the first application available nationwide and approved by the Drug Enforcement Agency for e-prescribing of controlled substances should make e-prescribing easier for physicians?and prescription abuse a little harder for patients. Learn more about the product and how you may no longer have to maintain a dual prescribing system?paper for controlled substances and electronic for everything else.

Controlled substances account for 11% of all prescriptions, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). For many physicians, maintaining two prescribing systems and workflows-a paper-based one for controlled substances and an electronic one for everything else-has been a significant obstacle to the broad adoption of e-prescriptions (eRx) and the rapid identification of prescription drug abusers who are stockpiling potentially addictive Schedule II drugs.

While the DEA released the interim final rule for electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) in June 2010, no healthcare IT vendors have yet met the requirements for implementation, until recently. After many years of research, development, and translating the DEA's requirements for EPCS, DrFirst Inc. has released a product offering that resolves usage challenges identified by physicians who participated in a pilot program conducted in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, that began in 2009. At the same time, it integrates sophisticated online identity proofing and credentialing technology developed by Experian and Symantec that meets the DEA’s two-factor authentication requirements.

DrFirst’s release of EPCS Gold™ is fully certified to meet the prescription processing requirements set by the DEA and the identity proofing requirements set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and it is now available to all eligible providers nationwide.

This new product allows for the flagging of multiple prescriptions for stimulants and narcotics filed by different doctors and filled by a number of pharmacies, and it is available to all providers regardless of whether they are customers of DrFirst. Physicians can begin the credentialing process so that when the pharmacies in their states achieve certification to begin accepting EPCS, they will be ready to send immediately. EPCS Gold should make e-prescribing easier for physicians-and prescription abuse a little harder for patients.

The American Medical Group Association said in a letter encouraging the DEA to balance law enforcement and physician concerns, “Ideally, all physicians would eventually choose to use eRx systems for their controlled substances because this process is more secure than paper-based prescribing.”

Use of eRx is voluntary. Medicare’s e-prescribing incentive program provides an exception for physicians who primarily write prescriptions for controlled substances, and some states still specifically require paper prescriptions for Schedule II drugs.

7 Women Share Their Hottest Vacation Sex Stories

You can have great sex anytime. But unforgettable sex? Seven women tell us why vacations drive them wild

hottest vacation sex stories

Kristen wasn’t even sure she liked Rob. But when he suggested a road trip over the Fourth of July weekend, she figured why not? He was cute, and she was bored.

They drove south, stopping in Virginia for burgers and fireworks, and hit the South Carolina coast around 3 a.m. That’s when they decided to sleep on the beach. But there wasn’t much sleeping.

“Making out on the beach—the waves, the salty air, the pitch black—I’ll never forget it,” she says.

Twelve years later, Kristen and Rob are married with kids. They still talk of that trip as their defining moment.

“It was the right trip at the right time with the right guy,” Kristen says. “The beach sealed it.”

Such is the power of summer. It turns friends into lovers.

It creates memories that last a lifetime. So we asked women to share their hottest stories. Read on for a few ideas on where to go—and who to do.

(And then get adventurous on your next vacation—or at home tonight. Try one of the 45 Sex Positions Every Man Should Know.)

1. Alone-In-Paradise Sex

Every year my boyfriend and I celebrate his birthday with a camping trip. Once, in Ojai, California, we found this gorgeous trail that ended at a 45-foot waterfall with crystal-clear pools of water.

Related: The Most Amazing Hikes In America

The area was green and lush with all these huge ferns and caverns, like an ad for Irish Spring soap.

At dusk, we took a few beers to the waterfall to cool off. We started kissing, and little by little our clothes came off. Eventually I found myself giving him oral.

He was leaning on a huge boulder, and I was partially under the falls. I could feel the cool water trickling down my body as the sun set, and I noticed all the sounds, smells, and textures. I could hear things rustling in the leaves, the birds chirping. It was all very cinematic.

I got up and faced the boulder, positioning him behind me. We had sex for a good 15 minutes, both of us taking it all in, looking out over our piece of paradise.

Being outdoors is a turn-on—it heightens your senses in the best way, and you have sensations that you’re not used to. You feel wilder, more alive.

—Christine, 40

Fact: 82 percent of women find the idea of skinny-dipping with their partner to be a huge turn-on.

2. Stealthy Sex

I met Sam, a coast guard officer, on a scuba trip in the Cayman Islands. I thought he looked great in his wetsuit, so I flirted with him, dropping a hint that I was the only single girl in my group. He offered to give me a private lesson.

At one point it was just the two of us underwater, and he gently floated over and kissed me. Afterward we kept hanging out, and later that night, fueled by tequila and dancing, we broke off to walk the beach.

We came across a hammock between two palm trees and clambered into it. This felt exotic and taboo—we’d only just met and could get caught.

At first we just kissed. I wasn’t sure if things would go much further—we were in a moving hammock, after all. It could flip.

But then he pulled off a feat that still impresses me: Steadying the hammock with one arm, he reached down with the other hand and slid off my panties. A few minutes later, I came.

Despite the fact that we were strangers, it was intensely romantic. The beach. The waves. The stars. The romance and the thrill pushed me over the edge.

—Maria, 33

Fact: 23 percent of couples say they’ve had sex on the beach.

3. Reinvention Sex

“Keep them open,” I said, nodding toward the curtains.

The thought that someone might see us was a turn-on, but not something I’d risk at home. I straddled my husband.

Tonight was about us—no risk of the kids hearing anything, no worrying that the neighbors might ring the doorbell.

That’s why we’d started doing this whenever possible after we had the kids. A hotel down the street. One night. Nothing fancy. All that mattered was having the room to ourselves so we could let loose.

The best sex is always the next morning as we wait for room service—the opposite of my usual mornings. I don’t have to be a mom. I can just be a woman.

—Holley, 45

Fact: 63 percent of women say the risk of getting caught heats up the sex.

4. One-Night-Only Sex

My friend and I met up in New Zealand for a music festival. Somehow, she’d forgotten our tent, so we had nowhere to sleep for three days.

Thankfully, the South Pacific is full of hot surfers. Dylan was tall, boyishly handsome, and smelled like coconut. His friend was cute too, so we started flirting.

Later, we all snuck into the woods behind the stages. Everyone was making out, drinking twist-off wine. It felt like we were the only people in the world. Dylan and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. His kisses melted me.

When we found his tent, along a river next to a bunch of festivalgoers, I experienced one of the sexiest strip-off-your-clothes moments ever. We were skin-to-skin in his sleeping bag. The buildup was so intense.

Our friends were sleeping next to us, and I didn’t even hide my moans.

The next morning we exchanged numbers. Turned out, we went to the same school. I saw him back on campus once after that, but it wasn’t the same. The magic was meant only for that one summer night.

—Emma, 25

Fact: 40 percent of women are open to vacation one-night stands.

5. Unrestrained Sex

A few years ago I took a trip home to Missouri and brought my then-boyfriend, Mike, with me. We rode bikes along back roads. I wore a short dress, pedaling ahead to show off my legs.

We stopped on a bridge to enjoy the view and leaned on the railing, listening to the water. I was telling him about the creek, all the time I spent there as a kid, and he leaned in and surprised me with a kiss.

We started making out. My adrenaline was pumping.

A car approached. We pulled apart—it could’ve been my dad. But that’s when I knew: I wanted him. Here. Now.

This place was special—and this was one of the only things left that could make it more special, give it new meaning.

The car passed and we kept going. He reached under my dress and slid off my panties, tucking them in his pocket.

I knew we had to be quick, so I unzipped his shorts and pulled him closer. It was all over in a minute, but I didn’t care. I felt so naughty and adventurous, and for the rest of that weekend I couldn’t stop replaying the moment in my head.

Related: Why Women Are Turned On By Exhibitionism

—Samantha, 28

Fact: 65 percent of women think sex is hotter when it’s spontaneous.

6. Mile-High Sex

On a flight to Mexico for vacation, my boyfriend, Stephen, was extra frisky and determined to join the mile-high club.

He went into the restroom first. I nervously followed 30 seconds later. He was sitting on the toilet seat with his pants at his ankles.

When I squeezed inside, he turned me around and plopped me down in a seated reverse cowgirl position. He pushed my sundress up, pulled my panties to the side, and thrust into me with a firm hold on my hips.

I never knew I could come so fast.

Back at our seats, two female flight attendants approached us. Without saying a word, one of them unfolded our trays and spread out a white cloth napkin, while the other placed two glasses of champagne and a rose. They whispered, “Congratulations.”

—Caroline, 41

Fact: 4 percent of Americans say they’re members of the mile-high club.

7. Exhibitionist Sex

I was on vacation in Italy with my guy, Joe. We’d been lost for hours, driving aimlessly along twisty, winding roads in the mountains with no cellphone and only a handwritten map to guide us to our hotel.

By the time we finally found our way there, we had plenty of pent-up energy to work off.

The balcony of our third-floor room had this amazing view of the Adriatic Sea. I’ll never forget it: The sun was coming up over the horizon, and as if on cue, we started ripping each other’s clothes off.

We weren’t exhibitionists; we just recognized how perfect the moment was, and decided not to hold back. Part of being on vacation is about letting go of your inhibitions.

Plus, I kept thinking about how romantic it felt to be looking at this beautiful scene while bent over the balcony railing of our hotel room, having sex with the man I loved.

And that’s when I noticed the grounds crew below. They were cheering the performance we didn’t realize we were putting on. We smiled, waved, hustled back inside . . . and kept right on going.

—Ashley, 31

Fact: 92 percent of women say being in a nice hotel makes the action that much sexier.

With the recent Obama plagiarism flap dominating the media, we figured it'd be a good time to revisit a few other famous cases of word borrowing.

1. Martin Luther King Jr: I Heard a Dream (Which Subsequently Became My Dream)

When writing about the Lord God Almighty, one is generally well advised not to break the eighth commandment, but Martin Luther King Jr. managed to turn out pretty well in spite of his tendency to borrow others' words without attribution. King received a doctorate in systematic theology from Boston University in 1955 on the strength of a dissertation comparing the theologians Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Weiman. In a 1989"“1990 review, though, the university discovered that King had plagiarized about a third of his thesis from a previous student's dissertation. And although it was closer to liberal adaptation than outright plagiarism, King's seminal "I Have a Dream" speech was, well, let's say "inspired by" a speech that an African American preacher named Archibald Carey Jr. gave to the Republican National Convention in 1952.

2. Alex Haley and the Roots of Roots

a.roots.jpgHaley initially gained prominence for being the "as told to" author behind The Autobiography of Malcolm X and then went on to publish the epic Roots: The Saga of an American Family in 1976, supposedly a true story that traced Haley's ancestry back to an African man, Kunta Kinte. Haley won a Pulitzer the next year, and the book was made into a wildly popular miniseries. After the book's publication, though, Haley admitted that he made up large swaths of the Roots story and, in a further embarrassment, was sued by author Harold Courlander for plagiarism. Haley acknowledged
lifting (accidentally, he claimed) three paragraphs from Courlander's work and settled the suit out of court.

3. Stendhal: The Politician's Plagiarist

a.sten.jpg When asked by Oprah Winfrey about his favorite book during the 2000 presidential campaign, Al Gore cited Stendhal's The Red and the Black, a novel set in post-Napoleonic France. The book's protagonist, Julien Sorel, is an ambitious young womanizer who adopts the hypocrisy of his time in order to move up in the world. In his own time, Stendhal, whose real name was Henri Beyle, was most famous not for his novels, but for his books about art and travel. In one, The Lives of Haydn, Mozart and Metastasio, Stendhal plagiarized extensively from two previous biographies. Confronted with overwhelming evidence of theft, Stendhal added forgery to the list of his literary crimes, manufacturing correspondence in the hopes of exonerating himself.

4. John Milton: In His Own Words

a.milton.jpgWas the half-blind creator of Paradise Lost a plagiarist? Well, no. But William Lauder, an 18th-century scholar, sure wanted you to think so. Bitter about his professional failures, Lauder published several essays in 1747 claiming to "prove" that Milton had stolen almost all of Paradise Lost from various 17th-century poets. One problem, though. Lauder had forged the poems, interpolating text from Paradise Lost into the original documents. For a while, many (including the great Samuel Johnson) supported Lauder, but it soon became clear by studying extant copies of the old poems that Lauder, not Milton, was the cheat. And cheating, at least in this case, didn't pay: Exiled to the West Indies, Lauder died an impoverished shopkeeper.

Online Casinos Gambling Sites and its Protocol

Web poker is the bread and butter of the entirety of our adherents at singapore casino games. Dislike different methods of wagering, online poker isn’t played against the structure. It’s done against different groups. In this manner, a decent success rate as time goes on is completely possible. You don’t experience an assortment of people who offer similar expressions for different games. What’s more, frankly, I don’t think poker is a wagered. It suits the overall pattern, whatever it very well may be, and is by all accounts a decent decision for sites like this one. I truly treasure poker.

In the occasion that you’re searching for a round of online poker at the present time, here are a couple of amazing poker scenes that have held me well: in any case, the thought is that sports betting can be a great interruption. It’s comprehensible to succeed, it’s perfectly simple to begin, and it’s a social interruption. It’s outlandish to play poker alone without individuals, and that is the thing that makes it fantastic. Surely, on the off chance that you play on the web, you do need to get included and fight against explicit people.

Dependability of security

The majority of the ordinary poker objections are unique spots to play, yet we’ve been going across an assortment of horrendous apples for quite a while. Persistently go to poker objections that have shown histories. Withdrawal Times Gaming rules in the US think that its outlandish for poker local people to move money to US banks. Subsequently, we’ve seen withdrawal periods reach out throughout a significant stretch of time. It’s not exceptional for players to remain on for half a month to see a money out abruptly.

Programming of the business

Innovation is more significant in poker than in other wagering modes since it coordinately affects the execution. Great poker programming makes it simple to perceive what’s happening: you’ll see cards, stakes, keys, and different matches. This is consistently an absolute necessity, since there’s a ton of information to fight with while you play poker.

Performing on the web poker

One thing that is quite nice about playing on the web poker is that you can simply get off on incredible moo stakes. Visit a physical poker room and you’ll be sufficiently fortunate to discover a $1/$2 no-restriction stake for a $200 purchase in. Online poker might be an exceptionally unmistakable story, with stakes as high as 1c/2c with a $2.00 purchase in. The stakes go up from that point to as high as $500/$1,000 with a $100,000 purchase in a few spots. And still, at the end of the day, I think the main thing about this about online poker is that it is basically an interruption in inclination. There will be events where chance has an impact, however the best players figure out how to prevail all through the long haul. There will be events where chance has an impact, yet the best players figure out how to prevail all through the long haul. This is additionally the body of evidence since you race against different groups and not against such an inherent house benefits as you do with a few different sorts of betting.

Online Gambling Prospects, Guidelines, and Lay Payouts Futures, props, and lay bets are one of the most common ways for sportsbooks to get more placing bets action to the table slot game. This type of gambling activities can have a lot of value if you know everywhere and how to look, but the main trick to cashing in on these placing a bet essentials is to remember how they work.

Every Accomplishment

As the name implies, these are wagers placed on a sporting event based on chances that are released very close to the start of the event. A final example of a prospects wager is about which NFL team will win the season’s Super Bowl. Whenever practicable, the wagering odds for this prospects bet are released a few days after the previous season’s Super Bowl has been completed. Betting companies have betting on almost every possible event you might think within, and they aren’t particularly exclusive to the world of entertainment. Recognize that it is difficult to figure anything that is so far from inside the show, so the best putting wagers procedure is to hold up and see how the placing bets open reacts to the launching opportunities. Many of the time, the early money will bet on the obvious top picks, which takes some of the respect out of their possibilities.

Scheduling Betting

A prop bet is a wager on the outcome of a case. They are often in the form of a “yeah of course” or “hardly any” response, or a wager on the “over” or “under” of a fixed number. Prop bets are an important component of the mix when it comes to the operation that a sports book produces on a daily basis for the day’s activities or for a sporting event that may take place at a later date. There are standard player and bunch props for sports like ball, baseball, and soccer, and placing bets firms often announce player and bunch props for contact sports several days before the games.

Without a doubt, the Champions league Happiness is the most basic single event for placing bets props. Before every of the world’s most popular single-day wearing affair, you’ll be able to make a bet on nearly everything related to this fervour. You’ll wager over everything from how many touchdowns one team will score to what colour Gatorade will be poured on the celebrating quarterback’s mouth. There may have been some respect when it comes to putting bets props, but much as with placing bets chances, you must avoid getting swept away. Props are a monstrously profitable benefit base for sportsbooks when customers bet on them rather than extraordinarily minor crippling abilities.

Workplace Gambling

Lay bets are something other than a prop bet, but you’re always betting on something changing. This kind of bet is taken on a daily basis without the use of a betting market to cover the motion. Golf may be an idealised example of a leisure wear. How many times has a player bet another competitor that they could NOT make a putt during a routine neighbourly circular at the neighbourhood geographical assignment? That is, by extension, a “lay bet.” Craps, a casino game, provides one of the best examples of how a lay bet operates.

Unimog U 4023/U 5023

Public service sector

Opens new possibilities.

The all-terrain Unimog is available with equipment for municipal services. This opens up new possibilities because, thanks to being equipped with powerful dual-circuit municipal hydraulics, both the Unimog U 4023 and the U 5023 are outstandingly well-suited for use with an automatic spreader and snow plough – and are therefore predestined for municipal service yards in cities and villages that are at risk of flooding.

The Unimog with municipal equipment masters classic tasks in road maintenance and transport and easily tackles fording bodies of water up to 1.20 metres deep as well as driving on rugged, arduous terrain. This means the Unimog can provide technical help as well as rescue or recovery, for example in high water areas otherwise inaccessible to other vehicles. Last but by no means least, the TireControl Plus central tyre inflation system and the high payload are of valuable service here.

Opera: ‘Magnificent Masks’

Wednesday, April 14, 2021 - 7:30 pm
Virtual, via YouTube Live

The spring production by the D’Angelo Opera Theatre – titled “Magnificent Masks” – will be livestreamed on Wednesday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. Director Louisa Jonason came up with the concept and also designed and constructed costumes. “Wearing masks is very difficult for singers,” she pointed out. “It's almost as impossible as wearing gloves for a pianist! However, we have to wear them, so I decided to call them ‘Magnificent.’ The singers are doing beautifully in spite of the object on their faces.” Elizabeth Etter will be the pianist for the performance, which will showcase music students performing arias from works ranging from West Side Story to Madama Butterfly to Die Fledermaus. You can find the livestream link on the Music Department website.

Evidence from social media used in divorce cases

| Jun 29, 2016 | Divorce

Social media is a regular part of life for a lot of people in Arizona. While some people share a few pictures here and there on social media, others detail every step of their day. When a person is going through a divorce, it may be a good idea to limit the use of social media or at least refrain from posting too much personal information online.

Social media posts, text messages and emails can be subpoenaed and admitted as evidence in a divorce case. People whose online communications contain information that contradicts what they have claimed in court could have a judge side against them. For example, those who claim that they are unemployed yet brag about their high-paying job on Facebook may not be granted the alimony they requested.

Although most people won’t write online posts that contain explicit information about how much money they make, the state of a person’s finances may be deduced by posts. When the social media apps of estranged spouses ‘check in” every time they go to a high-priced restaurant, this information could be used as evidence of financial prosperity. During a child custody dispute, posts about partying or playing video games all day could be used against a parent in court.

The end of a marriage can be a difficult time for all involved, and in many cases people will just want to have the release of venting their frustrations in text messages or social media posts. As this can be problematic, many family law attorneys will advise their clients to be as discreet and circumspect as possible until the divorce has been finalized.

Case study

Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) uses NetIQ Identity Governance to close loopholes in their access and security policies

The QCTO is subject to regular audits by national regulatory bodies. The various systems in use by the QCTO range from accounting and ERP solutions, to HR, Employee Self-Service (used to manage staff holidays, payslips, and tax certificates), and the custom-developed system used to issue certificates to qualified applicants. There is a Management Information System for qualification development.

Access and security varies by system which makes it hard to collate all the information required for auditors, as Mr Tafadzwa Ramhewa, IT Director for the QCTO, explains: “We needed to pull audit trails of who had access to the different systems. Every month we would print out access reports and then compare this with user access request forms to work out if the two access sources lined up. Some systems have such restricted access that we would rely on the business owners to do this job for us. All in all it would easily take half a day of our time every month.”

Thankfully the audit findings have always been positive, although one recommendation was taken to heart by the QCTO. Ramhewa: “The auditors were pleased with the system access review for our end users, but we didn’t review access for our system administrators in the same way. We have other processes in place for this, but the auditors felt we needed a clearer separation of duties, which just wasn’t possible with the manual processes we had.”

These considerations were even more important in light of new data protection legislation which will be enforced by South African government from 2018. This has been introduced to fight identity theft and ambush marketing and has resulted in a real behavioral change in South African organizations.

Following a market review, the QCTO was introduced to NetIQ Identity Governance and NetIQ Change Guardian to close any loopholes in their access and security policies. Identity Governance was implemented and is used to collect and correlate user entitlements across all QCTO applications into one view. It is designed to eliminate manual processes and increase efficiency.

Ramhewa explains its use within QCTO: “The business owners of our solutions receive an automated email driven by Identity Governance to confirm which users have access to their systems. This process is managed independently from the system administrators so that they can be included in the process as well, creating a clear separation of duties. The Identity Governance reports are easy to understand and our business owners are comfortable working with the process.”

Change Guardian delivers further automation to the security of QCTO systems, and as Ramhewa says: “For us, it’s all about automation. The less human intervention, the better. Policing our user accounts is very important as we have a lot of contractors and staff mobility. We need to be able to control system access easily and have a transparent audit trail.”

Change Guardian centrally records and audits changes, consolidating and archiving change events from across the QCTO IT environment. This helps reduce the complexity required to analyze multiple, disparate logs. Before the Change Guardian implementation, there was a manual effort involved in getting ready for an audit exercise. The IT team needed to ensure there were no orphan user accounts which could pose a potential security threat. Today, Change Guardian reports in real-time on deleted user accounts, failed log-ons, reset passwords etc. This gives the team the control and visibility they need to rapidly detect and disrupt threats that could negatively impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the organization’s critical assets.

Identity Governance and Change Guardian have streamlined the auditing process and improved security for QCTO. Ramhewa comments: “We worked with LiyaTech, a knowledgeable local implementation partner, and it was great to have the expertise from Micro Focus on hand as well, during the project. We find the solutions easy to administer and can already see the benefits.”

He concludes: “Identity Governance and Change Guardian have helped us be compliant with stringent new data protection regulations, and the solutions are saving us time and effort every day. We feel we are completely transparent in our access reviews and our system security has been enhanced in the process.”

Focaccia genovese (english version)

FocacciaAn italian olive-oil bread, quite flat and square-shaped. Few words to describe our focaccia genovese. There are endless variations of focaccia. I’ll describe below the most famous that comes from Genoa, a town on the italian northwest coast.

It’s not a street food but you can see at every hour of the day someone eating a peace of focaccia while walking or reading the ipad seated on a garden seat. It’s a gorgeous alternative of the bread if you want to prepare a sandwich and, as every student I know, I ate tons and tons of focaccia during the years of the university.

You can use the below version as a starter to experiment with making your own and enjoy adding various toppings. I love putting rosmarin but you can use also cherry tomatoes,  onions, olives, etc.

How to amaze your friends? Prepare a big tray of focaccia. Cut in the middle, fill with your favorite ingredients (ham and cheese or  salad and salmon) and cut in little peaces.  Serve together with a simple beer maybe during a football TV evening 🙂

  • 500 gr strong white bread flour
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 gr dry yeast (1/2 sachet)
  • 250 ml lukewarm water
  • a pinch of sugar (around 3 gr)
  • 10 gr fine salt
  • 5 gr rock salt
  • for the glaze: 30 ml water + 30 ml oil

Place  50 gr of flour, 50 ml of water and the yeast in a bowl and gently stir to have a semi-solid mixture. Leave to rest for about half an hour. Bubbles will appear on the surface.

Spill the above mixture in a large bowl  and add the remaining flour, the sugar, the oil and all water. Knead a little bit and add the fine salt. Vigorously stir with your hand until it looks elastic and smooth. To make it easy you can knead the dough on the table.

Shape into a ball, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size (around 2 hours). The temperature should be 27°C. In winter you can place the bowl near the radiator.

Stretch it with your hands to form a rectangle and fold into 3. Place the folded dough in a oiled oven tray and with your hands strech it out to cover the tray. Sprinkle the surface with oil  and water (10 ml + 10 ml) and rock salt. Let it rest for 2 hours.

With your fingertips  press the dough to create lots of little holes. Let it rest again for 20′.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and bake for 20′ until it looks slighly golden.

For the glaze: mix 20 ml of water and 20 ml of oil to create an emulsion and spread it on the surface of the focaccia just out of the oven when the surface is still hot and can absorb the glaze.

Cut and serve hot or warm…mhmhmhmh 😛  Buon appetito!

Writing Teachers Are Coaches, Not Umpires

By Courtney Rejent and Patty McGee

It’s summertime! The time when trees and flowers are in full bloom, evenings stay warmer, and America’s pastime begins with a thunk of a leather ball hitting the back of a catcher’s mitt. Soon after the thunk, the sound of an umpire shouting “ssstrike” can often be heard.

This got us thinking.

There is something unique to umpires; most umpires behind the plate make four main calls: ball, strike, safe, and out. Yes, there are a few other calls, but mostly they make these four.

Their role is to simply name the good or bad. This is not a knock on umpires at all. It is hard to make these four calls accurately all the time. It is an essential role within the game. But their role is to remain neutral and not influence the players.

Baseball coaches, on the other hand, play a very different, more complex role: the role of teacher. They study what each player is doing and teach them next steps. They customize their coaching depending on the player, bearing so much in mind – position, strengths, challenges, past games, recent practices, and more. They focus on the growth of the player, not the correctness of the game.

Correcting Is Not Teaching

We argue that the writing teacher’s most important role is not that of an umpire, but that of the coach. This is not a small distinction. Let’s dwell on this for a moment. A writing teacher assuming an umpire approach looks for what is right or wrong in a student’s piece and communicates this to the writer by “fixing it” in some way.

While this is a very prevalent expectation in schools, and one you may not have the power to work around, we must realize that correcting student writing is not teaching.

Correcting makes the writing piece better, but unless each student looks at those corrections and seeks out strategies to learn from them (and let’s be real, very few students do so), those corrections stay just where they are.

Correcting student writing falls short of what writers truly need. Much like baseball players who throw, catch, bat, run, field ground balls, all in one game, writers need to draw upon lots of skills. They need to be able to come up with ideas, plan for those ideas, draft with structure, make revisions, and edit accurately.

Writers need to be able to utilize many skills simultaneously, just like a baseball player would. Correcting cannot teach all of this. Thankfully, coaching can!

When a writing teacher wears the coach hat, some powerful teaching moves emerge to support the very complex act of writing. The one we most want to highlight is the use of strategy.

Strategy, a mini how-to, offered and modeled throughout the entire writing process, has been the key for many young writers’ growth and ability to access skills. It is a simple and mighty move that disentangles the hard parts of writing.

Skill vs. Strategy

The terms “skill” and “strategy” often have different meanings to different professionals. In this post, we define “skill” as something a writer does to make their writing better (revise, organize, edit) and the term “strategy” as the steps we take to access that skill (to revise we read, find a place to add a fact, and write a sentence or two that includes that fact).

To clarify further, an example of a non-educational skill might be “eating healthy.” One strategy for eating healthy can include steps to make sure leafy vegetables make it on the plate. Another strategy can be steps to buy more fresh vegetables and lean meats at the grocery store. Another might include steps to assure we drink more water. All of these strategies can lead to healthy eating.

Looping back around to writing, a skill a writer would benefit from is learning how to elaborate in an informational piece. One strategy might be steps to use twin or triplet sentences. Another strategy might be steps to use an example. A third strategy might be steps to use a metaphor. Each of these strategies help access the skill of elaborating. Essentially, a strategy is a recipe for a writer.

The first step into skill and strategy work is uncovering the skills that have the most impact on writers and their writing and then teaching strategies (just a few) to access that skill. With our coach hats on, let’s dig into this a bit more.

How to Write a Strategy

The strongest coaches are the ones who have played the game. In turn, the best place for classroom coaches to find strategies for writing instruction is by doing some writing of our own. These strategies we gain from direct experience are precious and valuable to each teacher’s toolbox.

Here is our favorite way of coming up with strategies when we write: (AKA a strategy for coming up with strategies):

  1. Take a few minutes to write in the same text type/genre as students.
  2. Notice what you are doing as you write.
  3. Jot down your thinking process or steps you are taking in order to write.

We tried it ourselves with argument writing. We know that writing a claim is one of the skills writers need so we tried writing claims ourselves, noticed what we did, and then jotted down our thinking process. Here’s what it looked like:

(above) We wrote a few claims.

(above) This was our process – and therefore our strategy!

Now we hope you will give this a whirl and see what happens (Right now! Don’t wait!). We found it was very helpful to slow down our process and think about the steps we were taking. We also suggest asking yourself these questions if you are feeling stuck: What was I thinking about? What did I write down? What was my process?

Other Techniques for Finding Strategies

Just in case our strategy is not working for you, here are three other ways to demystify the process of creating your own strategies:

You can: Pick a pattern

Strategies often flow like this: first the writer is going to think or point to something, then they are going to ask themselves a question, then they are going to do something based on the answer to that question. For example:

Skill = Elaboration
Strategy = Mining my own sentences for ideas for more sentences.

Think/Point: Point to a sentence I already wrote that I really like.

Ask: Ask myself, “What else do I have to say about the main idea of this sentence?”

Do: Write another sentence about this main idea and include it after the original sentence.

You can: Use first / then / next / finally language

These are similar to sentence starters. Sometimes language helps get the brain juices flowing and helps us see our process more clearly. Thinking about strategy through the lens of steps may be helpful. Naming steps by starting with “First I…” can help that process.

First I

Then I…

Next I…

Finally I…

You can: Ask a student

We have found some of our favorite writing strategies by talking to the learners in our classrooms. We might sit with a writer and ask them a few questions. These are helpful:

What were you thinking about?

What did you write down?

What was your process?

What did you do first? Next? After that?

Strategies Promote Independence

So, writing coaches, as you build your toolbox of strategies we want to leave you with one last note of inspiration. The ultimate goal of strategy instruction is to provide a repertoire that empowers learners by allowing them to attain a level of independence.

We have seen first-hand the power strategic coaching has on the writers we work with, both in our own classrooms and in those of teachers who made this shift. We left the umpire role on the field, put our coaching hats on, and students were all the better for it. Join us!

Many people consider using beneficiary designations on assets such as IRAs, 401ks, investments, life insurance, annuities, mutual funds and other investments, etc. to be “estate planning.” However, as an elder law attorney (that does estate planning) I consider the use of beneficiary designations – for the most part -- just plain foolish.

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Indiana REALTORS® have closed the books on August, today releasing their summary of existing-home sales from the eighth month of 2019. Existing-homes include single-family, townhomes, condos, and co-ops.

The traditional statewide year-over-year comparisons - August 2019 vs August 2019 - show:

The number of pending homes increased 1.8% to 8,785
Average sales price of homes increased 8.0% to $204.090
The number of new listings decreased 1.4% to 10.899

“Existing-home prices increased at the statewide level again in August, making it 93 months in a row for such increases,” said 2019 IAR President Brian Thompson of Bloomington. “We owe it to low inventory, low interest rates, and low unemployment for these price gains, which are beneficial to homeowners and communities alike. There are simply not enough quality homes on the market to satisfy customer demand and the competition is driving prices up."

Going into the fourth quarter here is how 2019 is shaping up when compared to the same point of 2018 (Jan to Aug 2019 vs Jan to Aug 2018):

Closed home sales decreased 1.9 percent to 59,784
Median sales price of homes increased 6.3 percent to $169,000
Average sales price of homes increased 5.5 percent to $197,685
Percent of original list price at sale remained the same at 96.6%
The number of pending home sales decreased 0.3 percent to 65.013
The number of new listings decreased 1.9 percent to 77.793

The Indiana Association of REALTORS® partners with eight of the state's nine listing services to publish the monthly Indiana Real Estate Markets Report. The report represents 98% of the housing market statewide and 91 of 92 counties.

Animation that doesn’t break the bank – ITV’s ‘Don’t be a Nick Head’

Don’t be a nick

“Don’t be a nick” is the humorous, and no less important, play on words sitting at the heart of ITV 4’s Covid-19 advertisement. It is an extremely unassuming advert comprising of a handful of stock-type images, some basic animations, voice over and text on the screen. Nevertheless it remains a simple, effective and relevant way of promoting the channel during this period. In order to understand it better, let us break down this advert into its narrative, tone and form.

Its narrative is fast paced, straight forward and incredibly relevant. It essentially follows a man, Nick Head, who is disobeying the rules of social-distancing and staying home who in doing so endangers loved ones and strangers alike. It preys on all our nagging wants over this period—the want to purchase something specific, be with friends and simply be out in the sun. In doing so it reinforces the necessity to sideline these acts for the greater good. Such narrativisation of the whole nation’s, if not the majority of the world’s, current everyday restrictions is a fantastic way to create a relatable advert.

But on top of this simple socially relevant narrative sits a light and humorous tone fundamental to reinstating this message we have all heard hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the past two months. The self-explanatory play on words, of course, toys with the inability to curse during daytime-TV, while providing satisfactory messaging-fodder to send to those around us who have such urges to disobey the guidelines. Thus the playful but relevant tone presented within the tag-line aids in the advert’s ability to exist outside of the context of television and thus draw on a greater audience.

The meat of the advert, as with any video, comes in its form. Here we find a relatively rough-and-ready approach that is relatively cheap to produce while in the comfort of ones own home. Nevertheless, the animation of stock-images, text on screen and simple voice over all work in tandem to transmit a quickly digestible narrative, message and joke. Moreover, the inclusion of slickly simple motion graphics reduce difficult visual concepts, such as the spreading of the virus, into palatable visual information. Such a choice of format is, undoubtedly, lead primarily by the current Covid-19 restrictions, and to ensure the advert isn’t hypocritical by breaking social distancing rules in its production. Regardless, it remains relatively effective because in the stead of crisp visuals it foregrounds a short narrative and a sharp, witty tone. As such, the basic animations and still images spring into relative life.

This breakdown of Don’t Be A Nick Head may seem somewhat simple, but that is the very essence of the advert—and its greatest strength. It does not aspire to present groundbreaking aesthetic eye-candy, it doesn’t vie for incredible audience affect, nor does it even attempt at delivering a nuanced message. Instead it takes a quick, humorous poke at the frustrating situation we are all in, providing a little comic relief, a catchy tag line and a simple alternative to today’s struggles—just relax and watch TV. Of course, one could argue heavily against this concluding message, but through its effective utilisation of limited resources, tools and pizzazz it quietly hits home the message of social distancing while promoting ITV to boot.

In short, it perfectly reflects our current social frustrations but perfectly balanced with a much needed dose of good (if not slightly riskay) humour. It’s a perfect example of how animation can be both produced relatively simply yet remain hugely effective in delivering a serious message. Well done ITV. – Let’s hope the Nick Heads take note. 😉

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán holds talks with Executive Director of International Swimming Federation
21. 02. 2017.
Bertalan Havasi, the Prime Minister’s press chief, has informed that in the Parliament Building on Tuesday Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks with Cornel Marculescu, Executive Director of the International Swimming Federation (FINA).

According to Mr. Maculescu, everything is in place for Hungary to host the best World Aquatics Championships  ever.

Tamás Gyárfás, Vice-President of the International Swimming Federation, also attended the meeting. Mr. Havasi added that Mr. Marculescu declared himself satisfied with the preparatory works for this year’s World Aquatics Championships – especially with the progress being made on construction of the Dagály Swimming Centre.

Budapest will host the World Aquatics Championships on 14–30 June 2017.

This is a sad Sunday
26. 11. 2018.
After a special EU summit convened to sign the documents related to the termination of Britain’s EU membership, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union is truly a “black Sunday” for the European Union.

In an interview given to public television news channel M1, Mr. Orbán stressed that the Hungarians had tried everything they could to convince the UK to remain a member of the European Union – even intervening in the British referendum campaign. But these attempts had failed.

“Now we have no choice but to accept the decision they have made”, he said. The agreement signed on Sunday legally concludes Britain’s withdrawal, and marks the end of negotiations with the UK’s EU partners. “It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed a sad Sunday. No matter how well one arranges it, a divorce is still a divorce”, he said.

He underlined that the loss is great, because Britain is a rich country which will be taking a lot of money with it when it leaves, which means that less money will remain within the EU. In other words, Mr. Orbán added, the loss sustained by the EU can also be measured in monetary terms, as well as in political and wider economic terms.

If the British had remained, he stressed, over the next few years there would also be more money available for Hungary from the European Union’s budget.

The Prime Minister said that negotiations had been intensive, with the parties needing to come to an agreement on very important issues such as trade rights, investments and the future of financial services.

He said that “This is not a matter of victory or defeat, but who is better off and who is worse off, and whether there are solutions which benefit us both.” He added that “In situations like this there is little room for such solutions”, and everyone had to make major concessions.

Researchers commonly ask subjects to self-identify their race from a menu of preestablished options. Yet if race is a multidimensional, multilevel social construction, this has profound methodological implications for the sciences and social sciences. Race must inform how we design large-scale data collection and how scientists utilize race in the context of specific research questions. This landmark collection argues for the recognition of those implications for research and suggests ways in which they may be integrated into future scientific endeavors. It concludes on a prescriptive note, providing an arsenal of multidisciplinary, conceptual, and methodological tools for studying race specifically within the context of health inequalities.

The House of Hennessy has reason to celebrate, and they are going all out! Last year, the company marked its 250th anniversary, and this year, Master Blender Yann Fillioux will pass the torch to his nephew, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the 8th successive generation to orchestrate Hennessy creations. To honour this momentous occasion, the legendary company is releasing Hennessy-8, a one-time, extremely limited-edition cognac that sells for €35,000 a bottle. The 250 carafes—numbered and signed by designer Arik Levy—will be crafted of hand-blown Baccarat crystal, and assembled in Hennessy’s Atelier des Éditions Rares. Eight inset rings constitute an ode to the eight Master Blenders, and the eight eaux-de-vies in this unique blend, which represents 250 years of exquisite savoir-faire. The bottle is protected by an equally spectacular box, containing 25 layers of oak made from Hennessy barrel staves (one layer for each decade of Hennessy history). It should be noted that the connection between Hennessy and the Fillioux family dates back to 1802, when James Hennessy named Jean Fillioux as cellar master. Hennessy is currently part of the French luxury group LVMH (Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton). In April of this year, Mixte sat down with Yann Fillioux and Renaud Fillioux de Gironde in Los Angeles.

Your family has been blending cognac for more than 250 years. What does cognac mean to you: Is it a drink to comfort the soul? A nectar of the gods to be sipped slowly? The ultimate expression of human savoir-faire? Really, I think it’s “all of the above.” It depends where you are in the process. The production-creation side of the equation is full of emotion, and then you also have the joy of knowing that there are, in this part of the world, some remarkably talented people who have mastered the ability to extract the very best of the land via the grapevines that grow in it.

€35,000 for a bottle of cognac is a little crazy. How does one justify such a purchase? We produce about 70 million bottles of cognac a year, but there are only 250 bottles of Hennessy-8. Every eau-de-vie in the blend is as exceptional and rare as they get. Hennessy-8 is nothing less than a work of art, which essentially makes it priceless.

Should people drink the cognac (and keep the bottle, of course!), or should it be passed down as a legacy to one’s heirs? Given how much time has gone into preparing and selecting the eaux-de-vie, all the time that current and previous generations have put into creating the blend, the time it has taken to achieve this outstanding quality, I believe now is the time to open it and enjoy it in the right company.

How do you see the next years unfolding? What do you think your biggest challenge will be? We are here to pave the way for tomorrow. We are only one little link in a long chain of people who care about preserving the quality and continuity of the brand. Our job is to prepare for the future. It is our responsibility to receive the Hennessy heritage and pass it on, while developing the brand and ensuring its long life.

Why did you choose Arik Levy, a friend of Hennessy, to design the bottle? Our company is fundamentally contemporary and future oriented. It was important to continue working with someone we had come to know, and with whom we enjoy a mutual understanding.

Can you describe the House of Hennessy in three words? Excellence, transmission and passion.
