Nashua BLM Leader Urges Audience to Emulate Radical Communist
Nashua BLM Leader Urges Audience to Emulate Radical Communist

By Stephen Scaer

Black Lives Matter Nashua leader Jordan Thompson urged supporters to take their lead from activist Angela Davis, a member of the Communist Party and a supporter of terrorism, at Sunday’s Black Lives Matter Rally in Hollis.

In the video, he instructs his audience:

We have to learn from the wisdom of our elders; the ones who were more radical: the Malcolm Xs and the Angela Davis’s of the world,”

Davis was an advocate for terrorism and totalitarianism. Two guns registered to Davis were used in a 1970 Black Panther kidnapping and shooting, in which a superior court judge and three hostages were murdered.

After Davis was charged with aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder, she went into hiding. She was later acquitted with the help of the Soviet Union, which came to her defense.

Davis visited and supported East German dictator Erich Honecker, even as he was torturing dissenters and having people shot on sight for trying to escape to freedom. She received the Lenin Peace Prize from the Soviet Union for her work for the communist regime in the US.

Russian human rights advocate Aleksander Solzhenitsyn called out Davis as a Soviet propagandist in his speech, “Communism: A Legacy of Terror.” In that speech, he recounted how Davis refused to even listen to Czech political prisoners who appealed to her for help.

She encouraged the followers of Jim Jones to stand by their cult leader just two weeks before he forced them to drink cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.

During his speech, Thompson criticized some BLM supporters for being too moderate.

 “There are many out there who want us to accept crumbs when we can have the whole damn cake.”

BLM and its parent organization Movement for Black Lives make no secret of their Marxist methods and goals. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists.” The Movement for Black Lives describes itself as “anti-capitalist.”

Bitcoin Crossroads Made Clear By Two Remaining Lines in The Sand

After such a strong break of $10,000 and surge to above $12,000, Bitcoin investors are shocked to be back again at the key level rather than onward to more new highs. But with $10,000 acting as such strong resistance for so long, the market may be retesting this critical zone to confirm it as support.

At the same time, Bitcoin is retesting downtrend resistance as support and was rejected from a multi-year trend line, now acting as resistance. With the cryptocurrency at such a crossroads, what does passing beyond any of the clear lines drawn in the sand mean for the trend ahead?

Bitcoin Bullish Retest Searches For Triangle Support At $10,000

Support and resistance levels can be horizontal, or diagonal. Oddly enough, price action reaching pivotal horizontal zones also tend to do so when a trend line acts as a target.

For one reason or another, orders cluster in these areas. Rounded numbers like $10,000 can also act as psychological resistance, just due to its importance over the last several years of price action.

$10,000 is also 50% of the cryptocurrency’s peak price from 2017. Significant support and resistance lies at this important Fibonacci level, mathematically.

It coincidentally lines up perfectly with former downtrend resistance once acting as the top of Bitcoin’s multi-year symmetrical triangle that it has since broken out of. A fall to confirm this line, is extremely bullish, but only if it holds.

However, coinciding with this bullish retest of downtrend resistance turned support, could have been a now-confirmed bearish retest of a multi-year trend line.

Bearish Retest Confirmed? Cryptocurrency Clearly At A Crossroads

Zooming out on weekly timeframes, the chart above shows Bitcoin price losing a five-year-long support trend line around Black Thursday.

As bullish as the rest of 2020’s price action may seem, could it have been nothing but a bearish retest of this critical trend line, supporting the entire last bull run, until now?

It is difficult to say, and trend lines are highly subjective and clearly meant to be broken. It is for this very reason why technical analysis is a never-ending practice with no definitive results.

Related Reading | Even Bitcoin Fundamentals Are Hinting At a Significant Correction Ahead

Technical indicators on multiple timeframes are mixed. Monthly charts show Bitcoin barely entering a bull market, while weekly shows an ongoing bull run that is overheated and in need of a cooldown. Daily timeframes, however, show a market shaken by a violent over $2,000 drop in less than 48 hours.

Bitcoin fundamentals are weaker than they have been recently, but a sharp recovery in price could set things straight just as fast.

Clearly, Bitcoin is at a crossroads, and its chart reflects this. Adding both bullish and bearish trendlines together shows at what a crossroads the asset truly is at.

Does it get back over the support line it previously lost, and resume a massive secular bull market? Or was this the bearish retest and Bitcoin will soon fall into its first real bear market where monthly indicators properly reflect the panic and despair of the market.

If Bitcoin can hold here, however, and fully recover, it may not need to reclaim the old support line. It very well could be building a new one, so long as it doesn’t fall back below the downtrend line, all should be safe for the world of crypto.

5 Reasons to have a Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which enables giving someone that you trust, the legal authority to make decisions on your behalf about your health, welfare and finances, at a time where you may not be able to, due to illness or having an accident.

Many people think families can automatically do this, and they cannot.

There is often a lot of confusion when it comes to making a Lasting Powers of Attorney and hence is often put off or avoided altogether.

There is also a lot of uncertainty as to why it is important to put a Lasting Powers of Attorney in place (and many pitfalls when doing these).

Here are just 5 reasons why you need to make one:

1.If you become mentally incapacitated for any reason, ie dementia, stroke, accident coma etc and unable to make decisions for yourself, then your loved ones do not have the automatic right to make decisions about your healthcare and everyday finances, as one would naturally assume!

2.For someone to be able to take care of your healthcare, finances for you they need to be registered as your Attorney. This is the golden key to having peace of mind and access to speaking with government bodies, banks and medical health professionals.

3. Decisions about your care, medical treatments, finances and property and every day quality of life are made by medical staff and someone from the Council when you don’t have any Lasting Powers of Attorney in place.

4. Your bank accounts will get frozen, even if you have a joint account, meaning your loved ones cannot access their money either!

5. If you do not have a Lasting Powers of Attorney in place before capacity is lost, the cost for someone to act as your Representative through the Court of Protection, runs into thousands of pounds to have the right to be able to make decisions on your behalf.

And of course, as we very well know, life is unpredictable, and everything can change in one second.

So if you would like to have peace of mind knowing that someone has your back, literally, and want to take action and get this done, then book a call with me to see how I can support you in getting your Lasting Powers of Attorney in place, avoiding all the common pitfalls, in a relaxed way!

Lars von Trier's psychological horror film Antichrist about guilt, suffering and female evil, was filmed at a moment in the director's life where he suffered from severe depression. His long time friend/cinematographer, the Oscar-winner Anthony Dod Mantle, helped him put his vision into images.

Presented in official competition at the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival, Antichrist was a shock for the viewers and became the most talked about film of the festival, hailed by some as a masterpiece, criticized by others for being self-consciously provocative and going too far. The film ended up winning Best Actress for Charlotte Gainsbourg. Sold to over 30 territories, including the US and UK that picked it up in Cannes, Antichrist has opened in half a dozen territories since June 2009.

A couple undergoes extreme changes and the woman suffers from intense anxiety attacks. In order to help her and to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage, they retreat to ‘Eden', their isolated cabin in the woods. But the stay turns out to be stranger and more horrifying than they ever expected as nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. Their relationship is put to test and they are forced to confront themselves and their fears.

Director/scriptwriter - Lars von Trier

One of the founders of the Danish Dogme movement in the 90s, Lars von Trier is among today's most celebrated European filmmakers. Born in Denmark in 1956, he graduated from the Danish National Film School in 1983, and the following year, had his breakthrough with The Element of Crime. His latest works include Dogville (2003), Manderlay (2005) and The Boss of it All (2006). Von Trier is an habitué of the Cannes International Film Festival where he won several awards, including the Grand Prix du Jury for Breaking the Waves (1996) and the Palme d'or for Dancer in the Dark (2000). As a scriptwriter, he has collaborated with Thomas Vinterberg on Dear Wendy and Jacob Thuesen on The Early Years-Erik Nietzsche Part 1, which represented Denmark at the 2008 Nordic Council Film Prize Nominations.

Producer - Meta Louise Foldager

Born in 1974, Meta Louise Foldager studied film science at Copenhagen University. As a producer for Nimbus Film from 2002 to 2005 she worked on Nikolaj Arcel's King's Game, Island of Lost Souls and Ole-Christian Madsen's Angels in Fast Motion. In January 2006, she joined Zentropa, specifically to produce Lars von Trier's films, taking over from Vibeke Windeløv. Since then, she has produced The Boss of it All and Antichrist. Other Danish filmmakers who recently collaborated with her include Morten Hartz Kaplers (AFR), selected at the Nordic Council Film Prize Nominations 2007, and Pernille Fischer Christensen (Dancers). She will next produce Arcel's A Royal Affair.

Jonny Owen's feature-length documentary about Forest's famous back-to-back triumphs was the UK's highest-grossing sports film last year.

More than 100,000 DVDs have been sold, with 65 percent of those outside the East Midlands.

Jonny, who is a long-term partner with Nottingham actress Vicky McClure , said: "It's been great for the profile of the city across the UK and reaffirms it as the location of a sporting miracle.

"The players said they finally got the credit they deserve. The only reason Leicester City are being compared to Nottingham in terms of the magnitude of their success this season is because of this film.

"It would have been Blackburn Rovers after they won the Premier League in 1995 but now everyone uses Nottingham Forest as the reference point."

Jonny Owen and Vicky McClure

The 44-year-old, who has acted in TV shows including Shameless and My Family, admits he was nervous about whether I Believe in Miracles would be a success.

"I can remember two months before it came out and someone in London said to me I'd be lucky to sell 500 copies at the club shop," he recalls.

"It's set in the '70s, the players haven't played together for 30 years, the manager passed away a decade ago and the club is in the Championship, so I did have a moment where I wondered if he was right.

Jonny believes Notts TV, based at Antenna, in Beck Street, with IBIM production company Spool Films, has helped to lay the foundations for the film's success.

He says: "People down in London say it's the best of all those Freeview channels and it's helped give us an identity. It's seen as a media hub and Notts TV is regarded as the golden standard, making it the regional cultural capital.Read more:

"The support from the people in the city has been brilliant as they've really embraced it."

Jonny says he is set to sign a deal with a major film distributor soon to create a second film.

He adds: "I will be doing another film and I will be doing it in Nottingham . I think everything is there in the city to make films.

"The expertise, infrastructure, machinery and skills are all here so it's perfect for me."

Film, TV and video makes up six percent of the city industry, level with the national average, as Nottingham's reputation for acting talent has been enhanced in the past decade.

Independent cinemas play a key role, with Broadway Cinema's turnover trebling to £3m in the past 10 years. It currently has 80 full and part-time staff and has employed more than 400 people since it opened 25 years ago.

John Robertson for Nottingham Forest

Chief executive Steve Mapp says: "There's a significant level of skills and expertise in film and moving image, including directors, writers and cameramen, which has helped to develop a reputation for Nottingham.

"There's more we can do and we need more investment to secure more production, which will help to retain the talent that's based here. We need more producers to provide the finance to make films."

This is England director Shane Meadows, who released three spin-off TV series of the hit 2006 film, has long flown the flag for Nottingham alongside Vicky McClure and Samantha Morton, but there has been a steady stream of talent since then.

The likes of Joe Dempsie, Jack O'Connell and James Hooton have all honed their skills at Television Workshop.

But the biggest hurdle for Nottingham to stamp its authority in film is the lack of a real image.

While This is England was partly shot in The Meadows , St Ann's and Lenton , and McClure speaks with a thick East Midlands accent, Mr Lawton suggests that not everyone will recognise this.

He says: "The challenge with TV and film for Nottingham is whether people see actors from here and associate them with Nottingham in the same way they do with other cities.

"With Manchester you think of post-industrialisation, 1980s bands like Joy Division, the Madchester scene and working-class indie bands, as well as all the actors who have Mancunian accents.

"They're all part of that image. It's a lot harder to think of the same brandable image for Nottingham.

"It's a little bit more diverse and doesn't have the same national and international recognition.

"We know Vicky McClure has a broad Nottingham accent but does someone from Bristol recognise that?"

A taxi driver ended up on top of a Jeep after swerving to avoid hitting a cat.

Police were called to the incident in Long Eaton in the early hours of May 3.

In a tweet, Erewash Response, part of Derbyshire police, said: "Early hours of this morning. Nothing on the roads. Taxi driver swerves to avoid hitting a cat and ends up parking on top of a Jeep.

"Impressive. No injuries. Details exchanged. #YouCantParkThereSir#NotYourAverageRTC."

According to the Highway Code, animals large enough to justify an emergency stop are dogs, horses, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys and mules.

But the law deems it acceptable to run over animals such as cats, rabbits, foxes, ducks, pheasants or squirrels because braking or swerving puts other road users at risk.

Insurers are unlikely to pay out to any motorist who causes an accident by stopping or swerving to avoid hitting a small animal.

This is such an adorable story!

MC is really cute and the epitome of 'good wife' and 'good daughter-in-law' lol

The ML, well, it's understandable that he fell for MC, but the way he approached MC is a little meh. Regardless, it's a very enjoyable story XD

From the first chapter, you can tell the MC, Xiao Shi Zi, is really dumb, while his love interest, Yun Tian Yang is clearly a chauvinist and thus shouldn’t be with women (also not too bright). YTY throws various hurdles at XSZ in order to chase him away since he doesn’t want to marry the spoilt, rich heiress type. Of course as a servant and man, XSZ can handle most of it, hence causing YTY to fall for him. Toss in some sweet moments and angst, and its a decent... more>> enough yaoi written in the style of Harlequin Romance novels. MC could’ve just as easily been female.

Overall it’s a cute and sweet story, though not without its flaws. As long as you don’t expect too much and you’re willing to lower your intelligence to match the characters’, it’s a pretty enjoyable read. Do need to tolerate some dubcon, some cliches, and the author’s distaste for women, but that’s normal for yaoi. The greatest strength is that the story is short enough to prevent its faults from being over-exposed. <<less

Uh...I don't really understand why this got a big score. *shrugs* If I were to describe this novel, it would be a typical Harlequin pocketbook with a Chinese setting and the protagonist has male genitalia instead of a female's (not much difference between the MC's personality and a stereotypical feminine protagonist). >.>

Only 10 chapters. No wonder it progressed so fast. I guess I'm reading too much xianxia...

Anyway, surprisingly sweet novel. Since it's so short you can give it a try, even if you don't have a lot of expectations going in, I can tell you I didn't either.

That said, I really don't see how that cover is supposed to look like a woman so it kind of breaks immersion and makes it hard to imagine someone ever mistaking him for her...

Don’t see why this was bad in everyone’s reviews? Like, seriously, it’s so good! It was short, but everything was described beautifully and I could get into the story right from the start. The only flaw I didn’t like was that, the reason for Ling Shuang being exposed in front of everyone was a little unnatural and rushed.

The story was a bit fluffy, angst, tear-jerking, and beautiful. Just, don’t imagine the cover as the protagonist.

It's been awhile I don't read a short story, and this one didn't disappoint me.
I love how the author made me laugh at first and I cried in the process.... why I cry?

Probably I understand how low esteem feels like... I understad how MC feels... very hard to say NO always want to make people happy.

I feel bad for MC where nobody good to him other than his parents and I'm happy he found his own happiness in the end

So much better than I expected. I was actually nervous because when ML never known to like male, so when ML keep falling for MC who still in hiding his gender, I was so worried!

So glad that even with the Conflicts of Gender and Feelings, things actually goes in the direction that I like; slightly Emotional but Good. And when another little conflict arise, it was easily cleared.

Both ML and MC are great characters. ML's family also suprisingly very Sensible! Except a certain btch, everyone is Great here! I Love... more>> and Enjoyed this Novel unexpectedly So much! I'm Loving it! <<less

10 chapter and still has good plotline. This novel has potential of whole more than 50 chapters if word building was done more.

10 chapters summed it up very well. And I even liked it more because of its short length because I'm not into stretched out misunderstanding based kinda novels.

... more>> Warning : 2 opinions on their 1st time. Consider whichever.

1. Even though there is no r*pe tag is given but I think their 1st time is r*pe because the ML forced the MC because of his anger and left him alone right after the deed. Well the MC didn't mind at all and even remembered it as a passionate night.

2. The ML did ask him in extreme anger/threatening way that 'Do you not want it' or something like this and the MC was so afraid of him that he didn't shook his head. So it could be considered as doubtful consent.

PS: both of them like each other and later it's consensual.

Short and sweet. I liked most that this is a quick read. Overall pretty good, nothing mindblowing though. It's pretty funny how the ML's attempts to scare off the MC ended up working against him. The biggest issue I had with this story is that the MC is so feminine. There's nothing wrong with feminine males but it often felt like the author wrote the story for a female MC and just replaced the pronouns...

"It would be better if he married a man and took him home!"

5/5 because I had a fantastic time reading it.

MC and ML both fall victims of their machinations ... more>>

(because even if MC was tricked and coerced into this, he decided to be selfish and say nothing as soon as he was told no s*x would happen, meaning he could keep pretending and get a family for himself)

and fall in love with each other.

For 10 chapters + epilogue you get the right amount of characterization, feeling progression, conflict and smut.
Really, this story leaves you super satisfied once you finish it.

The real bride even gets what she deserves for her terrible plan and her being heartless to MC. So it's a win-win.

I liked this a lot. It was short and sweet, had the right balance of fluff and serious content. The plot was simple but also provided readers something to digest and was very relatable. The length of this story was just right, every named character was given justification for being there and was given the right amount of ‘exposure’. There weren’t any superfluous twists which sometimes tend to drag out a story. MC’s simplistic yet earnest nature and was adorable. I really liked this and I think it deserves a... more>> higher rating. <<less

Could have been a five, but the story didn't elaborate enough. Novel should have been longer. But other than that, their are some plot points that I am not a fan of as well. But it wasn't to the point that it made the story bad cause the S repented in a very acceptable way. So 4

It's a sweet romantic short novel with a lot of funny moments derived from the mistaken identity. The comedy is what I loved the most in this novel. The story is narrated in a light-hearted way and should not be taken seriously... similar to unrealistic shakespearian comedies with mistaken identities or french theater classics (Molière anyone?). Bottom line, this is a fun read with fluffy romance, great characters, and just a little drama in the middle when the truth is revealed.

This is quite a cute and fluffy novel, a really nice relaxing read.

But, the MC has a bit too low IQ and self-esteem for me. I really don't understand how the MC is like YouXiaoMo from The Legendary Master's Wife because the only thing they really have in common personality wise is how naïve they both are. The ML is quite forceful and it does go overboard at times, the ML also is quite judgemental and that bothers me. Also, the cover isn't.... very suitable. It's ugly....

However, it is a... more>> cute read, the translation is not bad, and it's written quite well. It's completed, which is a definite plus. <<less

Great translation.

Story wise is just so so. Another ordinary romance story albeit between male. Due to it is just 10 chapters, don't expect much character built up for MC and ML.

Growing up in a housing project in Brooklyn, NY was challenging. Adding a parent battling mental illness made it even tougher. Through all the hardships I’ve experienced, I was able to learn about, cherish, and take care of my mental health. Shouldn’t we all?

I made NRGFiEND to create apparel and accessories that positively impacts the lives of the wearers; allowing them to channel their inner energy and emotions through their style. Making it possible for clothes to not only cater to people’s styles but also their minds, bodies, and spirits.

I hope to create a community to fight just like my dad did. Fight against stigmas, bullying, and conforming to the norms of society that hinders growth. Let’s do it together.

Paula's Story

“As a woman who had lost her safe place to live and her home at the hands of people she trusted, N Street Village provided me a place to heal, receive a kind word, a smile, lots of laughter, and the ability to begin dreaming again.”

- Paula

Paula arrived at N Street Village in 2016, carrying everything she owned in three bags and towing years of bitterness, anger, and despair.

Paula had a successful career for 16 years, a husband, and two sons. Then she got the call from her sister – her father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and needed help. She uprooted her family, left everything behind, and came back to her childhood home in D.C. to care for her dad. A few years after moving her husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack. Four months later, her father died.

In an instant, Paula’s entire life changed. She found herself a widow, with nowhere to go, no money, no job, and two young sons. She and her sons were living in her car, sleeping with a knife for protection, and pawning the precious few belongings they had left to buy food. When her youngest son got sick, Paula sold the car in order to get a hotel room. That money soon ran out.

“I laid out all the cash I had left on the bed and counted it. It wasn’t going to be enough for another night at the hotel.”

Paula found a safe place for her sons with friends, but she had nowhere else to turn. She called the Shelter Hotline and arrived on the doorstep of N Street Village on a Friday afternoon. She was able to get a bed at N Street Village’s newly opened emergency shelter, the Patricia Handy Place for Women. She came back to the Village flagship site on Monday ready to do the work necessary to get her life and independence back. She started taking classes, getting involved in the community, and doing everything she could to use the tools and resources around her.

“I thought the classes were about learning – learning how to use computers, how to do yoga, how to make jewelry – but looking back, I’ve come to realize they were about healing the entire time.”

Paula began to take advantage of everything the Village – and the city – had to offer.

“I’d spent my entire life taking care of everyone else – taking care of my husband, taking care of my family, taking care of my father, taking care of my sons. It’d always been about someone else. Now it’s finally about me.”

Today, Paula has completed “Back to Work at 50+,” a highly-competitive multi-week course. She is living in a nearby shelter and working to move into her own apartment. Paula has started making jewelry and is talking about what it would take to start a small business once she has more permanent housing. She is hopeful about her next chapter.

“I wasn’t responsible for becoming homeless. But I am 100% responsible for what I do with my life afterward. I don’t know what’s next for the second half of my life, but I do know there’s excitement in everything I’m able to do and try now.”

– Sensor fusion and collision avoidance for autonomous surface vehicles

Autosea - collision avoidance

The main goal of the Autosea project is to develop methods for guidance and navigation of autonomous ships. A central component of this is collision avoidance, also known as sense-and-avoid. The Autosea project has demonstrated complete collision avoidance systems in full-scale experiments involving autonomous and semi-autonomous surface vehicles both in Trondheimsfjorden and in the Netherlands. The technology from the Autosea project will be used as a foundation for e.g. autonomous passenger ferries

In the Autosea project researchers at NTNU collaborate closely with the consortium partners DNV GL, KONGSBERG and Maritime Robotics. All the partners have contributed by making their own surface vehicles available for the project, and also by making sensors, navigation technology, control systems and general know-how available for the project.

South Carolina teacher arrested after student takes marijuana gummies from prize box in classroom, sheriff says

The teacher, identified as Victoria Farish Weiss, turned herself in on Friday, police said. (Lexington County Sheriff’s Department)

LEXINGTON, S.C. (WGHP) — A South Carolina teacher was arrested after a student allegedly found and took a pack of marijuana gummies from a classroom prize box, according to the local sheriff’s office.

Victoria Farish Weiss, 27, is charged with possession of a Schedule I drug.

On Sept. 23, the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department launched an investigation after a report that a student at Rocky Creek Elementary School had taken a pack of marijuana edibles from a prize box in a teacher’s classroom. The prize box was used to reward students.

The gummies are a kind of marijuana edible or cannabis-based food product. While they are available in other states and online, they’re illegal in South Carolina, according to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon.

“They come in many forms, but the items in this case were candy,” Koon said. “They’re often packaged in wrappers and bags with logos and colors that look similar to traditional candy brands.”

When the student took the pack of edibles, Weiss allegedly told the child to pick something else from the box. The student returned to the box and grabbed another pack of edibles.

The next day, investigators searched Weiss’ home and found packs of edibles similar to those found in the classroom.

Weiss turned herself in on Friday morning.

No students ate any of the THC-laced products.

The scammer telephones a resident and will impersonate an officer with the Social Security Office. The scammer will then attempt to convince the victim that someone was using their social security number fraudulently. The scammer will want you to verify your name and social security number. In some cases, the scammer will want funds wired to clear up your social security number.

The OMIG Releases its 2017-2018 Work Plan

  • Apr 20 2017

The New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (“OMIG”) has released its annual Work Plan for fiscal year 2017-18.  The annual Work Plan offers providers insight into OMIG’s areas of focus in the New York State Medicaid program for the upcoming year.  As stated in the Work Plan, the OMIG’s overall mission “is to enhance the integrity of the New York State Medicaid program by preventing and detecting fraudulent, abusive, and wasteful practices within the Medicaid program and recovering improperly expended Medicaid funds while promoting high-quality patient care.”  The OMIG is also charged in its enabling statute with maximizing the recovery of Medicaid overpayments.

As stated in the Executive Summary, New York State’s Medicaid program is the state’s largest payer of health care and long-term care. Over six million New Yorkers receive Medicaid-eligible services through a network of more than 80,000 health care providers and over 90 managed care plans. The total federal, state and local Medicaid spending for SFY 2018 is expected to be $65 billion.

The 2017-18 Work Plan is informed by the OMIG’s SFY 2018-2020 Strategic Plan, which focuses on three overarching goals: enhancing compliance; fighting fraud, waste, and abuse; and promoting innovative analytics to detect fraudulent or wasteful activities.

In furtherance of its goal to enhance compliance, among other things, the OMIG will continue to monitor annual certification performance obligations required of Medicaid providers under the Social Services Law, as well as False Claims Act requirements of the federal Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 for certain providers, and closely monitor providers under corporate integrity agreements (CIA).

As part of its goal in fighting fraud, waste, and abuse, the OMIG plans to continue its efforts to identify and restrict recipients who abuse Medicaid benefits and will increase its oversight of MCO restriction plans to ensure compliance with the Managed Care Model Contract. The OMIG also seeks to continue to ensure the integrity of the Medicaid program by working to reduce drug misuse, prescription opioid abuse, and drug diversion. In addition, the OMIG’s Recipient Investigation Unit’s (RIU) Forged Prescription Project will continue to identify fraudulent prescriptions being billed to Medicaid.

This year’s Work Plan, like all those before it, also focuses on identifying and addressing fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicaid program. As such, OMIG will be targeting areas in Home Health and Community-Based Care Services, Long Term Care Services, and Medicaid managed care.  The OMIG also launched a project team approach to Medicaid managed care program integrity activities and has created teams with specific areas of focus.

In its promotion of innovative analytics, by using analytical tools and techniques, and possessing knowledge of Medicaid program rules to data mine Medicaid claims and identify improper claim conditions, the OMIG is able to identify potential recoveries of inappropriate Medicaid expenditures. As part of this goal, in SFY 2018, the OMIG will focus on partial hospitalization, an intensive outpatient treatment program licensed by OMH, designed to provide patients with profound or disabling mental conditions individualized, coordinated, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary treatment in an outpatient setting.

Futures fin boxes

The all-new CI Fish is our Next Gen “fish” shape—thinned-out and tuned-up for added performance, making it a versatile craft that can energize your average grovel sesh one day then have you screaming down-the-line on clean, head high points the next.

Our CI Fish’s DNA can be traced back to 2005’s Retro Fish, which two years later inspired the Skinny Fish—a refined version of the Retro Fish, featuring more user-friendly rails with less volume and a quad fin set-up. This third iteration of our fish family takes us back to a twin keel set-up but adds some subtle performance board characteristics into a classic plan shape, resulting in an update that fish aficionados and performance board die-hards alike can appreciate.

CI pro team riders such as Dane Gudauskas, Sage Erickson, Conner Coffin, Mike February, and Alex Gray all say that the CI Fish is faster than greased lightning and zips through any flat sections with ease.

This new model performs best with our brand new Channel Islands AMK Futures keel fin template. Inspired by a classic outline, they boast a modern rake shape, graduated tip flex and flat inside foils finely tuned for fast, high performance surfing. Both the fins and the CI Fish are available HERE and at fine surf shops everywhere.

On the Frontline of Health: How AI and digital innovation can democratise healthcare

Like Comment

This article is part of the Forum Network series on Digitalisation

Zeger Vercouteren, VP Government Affairs and Policy for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Johnson & Johnsonexplains how artificial intelligence and machine learning could bring better and faster treatments to more patients.

What if artificial intelligence (AI) could one day diagnose your illness before you even had symptoms? Or dramatically speed up drug discovery through machine learning? What if robots could learn to support surgeons to make surgical procedures more precise and effective? All of this is what we are already working to develop, and more.

Photo by freestocks.org on Unsplash

For over a century, Johnson & Johnson has been pioneering and partnering for world-changing, mind-opening solutions, always putting people first. We know that good health is the foundation of a vital and vibrant society. Now, we are in a period of unprecedented disruption and opportunity and we have a responsibility to lead the next frontier of health. The very definition of care is evolving and expanding. Technology is allowing us to deliver care in groundbreaking new ways.

We are on the verge of a digital revolution for better outcomes in healthcare. A more human-centred approach to care will mean effectively managing health literacy and patient data; exploiting the potential of “big data” as a resource to advance healthcare research; and designing innovative payment models with value-based incentives for medical solutions.

Thanks to sophisticated new technologies that enable machine learning, finding new drugs could become much faster; this research currently takes us years, digging through vast amounts of data to find the chemical compounds most likely to target a disease before even beginning to test their effectiveness. Scientists are speeding up the process by taking hundreds of thousands of snapshots of diseased cells exposed to specific compounds to see how they react. These snapshots are then fed into software programmes to predict how other types of cells might react to the same compounds, making an important first step towards new drug discoveries.

Source: Cell.com

We are currently developing technologies that could treat people with Alzheimer’s, and maybe even predict dementia. How do we do that? There are over 400 quantifiable variables in a person’s speech, such as complexity, articulation and content, and using digital technologies we can analyse them in patients with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis to uncover relevant links.

Another exciting example is how surgery can be digitalised to improve access to it. By including every step of a procedure in an app and developing AI-based technologies to support surgeons, it is possible to make best-in-class surgery available to more people in more places, thus democratising it. These machines could already help surgeons distinguish sick tissue from healthy, locate nerves and blood vessels and plan surgeries based on this information. Building on this and learning from more data, these technologies may be able to communicate patient needs to surgeons before they even get to the hospital, guide them in unexpected situations and even tell them where and how to cut.

Source: J&J

But we do not stop there. AI could also help new parents have more restful nights by monitoring their baby’s unique sleeping and breathing patterns and keeping parents informed about their child’s health. These tasks can all be performed by a wearable device that tracks vital signs, paired with an app that gives recommendations on the baby’s feeding and nap needs based on age and development.

In light of these quickly evolving innovations, there are also growing ethical concerns about the role AI can play in peoples’ lives, particularly in sensitive areas such as healthcare. Some of these concerns raise profound questions around modernising health systems and the new skills needed for the health care workforce. At Johnson & Johnson, we take these concerns very seriously and are committed to partnering with policy makers and civil society to address them and build a common framework that places human life at the core, enables trust, and regulates AI adequately without hindering innovation.

We have only just scratched the surface with some of the ways that the digital revolution is already impacting health, and we are working hard on finding innovative ways for AI to speed up our processes and make our health solutions even better. Alone, however, one person or company will not go far. We need more collaboration, an exchange of ideas and more innovative partnerships. That is why I am thrilled to participate in this year’s OECD Forum, which represents a unique opportunity to bring us together towards this objective.

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe humanity’s best days are ahead of us, not behind us. We are committed to shaping the health of future generations by enhancing life at every stage with innovative solutions, from skin care to surgical solutions to treatments for cancer. Together, we will pave the way to a healthier future for everyone, everywhere by fearlessly being on the frontlines of health. Because it is the right thing to do; because health is first and everything else follows.

A deep tissue massage (DTM) is a technique that helps treat musculoskeletal disorders.  Slow and deep kneading will apply sustained pressure.  It also simultaneously attacks the inner layers of your muscle and connective tissue.  A deep massage helps to reduce tissue scars and muscle spasms.

DTM can be helpful for small or large muscle injuries or to cure chronic problems.  The deep tissue massage aims at deep muscles, tendons and protective and connective tissue called fascia.  It helps to break down the adhesions and restore the proper body functions.

Because of the firm and slow movements, a deep massage forces the body to relax and ultimately reduce stress.  It helps release the muscles, which not only improves blood circulation, but also completely relaxes the body and mind.  Even a five-minute foot treatment can act on the body’s various trigger points, relieving stress.  According to a report from the Health Sciences Center, there is a high correlation between a deep tissue massage and a reduction in blood pressure and heart rate.

The benefits of deep tissue massage are often used after injury to break up newly formed scar tissue, which can hinder recovery and produce stiffness.  It has been shown that relieving inflammation and muscle spasms by stimulating blood circulation, relaxing muscles for more oxygen, and reducing the automatic response to nervous system stress.  After an injury, and especially at a very stressful time, inflammation can prevent adequate blood flow from reaching damaged tissue, cutting off vital nutrients and oxygen.

DTM is a special method or procedure in the massage that focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia.  Deep tissue may also refer to the gentle and sustained pressure that acts on the myofascial layer (band or layer of connective tissue, mainly collagen, under the skin that clings, stabilizes, locks in and separates the muscles and other internal organs).  The science behind deep tissue massage, sometimes referred to as percussion therapy, is simple and based on the gate control theory.

Because in the end, you might already decide that you deserve a deep tissue massage for the foot to relax.  Deep tissue is a specialized technique that focuses primarily on the thicker layer of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the connecting layer between joints, bones and muscles).  Unlike other massages that use less pressure, deep tissue massage uses deep finger pressure with both fixed and slow movements.

DTM is a manipulation of deep tissue layers in the human body.  The difference to other techniques such as Swedish and acupressure is that the pressure exerted in the Deep Tissue is much deeper, yet slow and firm.

The Swedish massage is a gentler form, where the tension is much less than with the deep tissue massage.  Both types include the use of the palms and fingers to knead and manipulate the tissue, but the elbows and forearms can also be used to exert increased pressure during a deep tissue massage.  The Swedish massage is a gentler form of massage, where the tension is much less than with the deep tissue massage.

Sometimes, with this technique, the therapist must apply a firmer pressure to reach and resolve these key areas.  That is why this special technique is often recommended for people who feel comfortable with a slightly more intense touch.  However, deep tissue massage may also refer to a gentle but sustained pressure acting on the myofascial layer.

A study from the University of Maryland found that deep tissue massage to treat chronic pain is even more effective than some other medical treatments.   Licensed therapists can also work to relieve tense tissue buildup caused by exercise, further relieving strained muscles.  In addition to the physical benefits, DTM can also have psychic benefits.

Deep tissue can be improved through the use of essential oils.  They need a basic understanding of the body’s massage techniques, soft tissues and connective tissue.  Work at the point that causes the pain, not at the point where the pain manifests.

Deep Tissue help to regulate the pores in the fiber tissue, which increases the permeability.  Stretching the tissue during a session helps the muscle fibers build up tension and pressure.  The massage helps to stretch the muscles longitudinally and transversely along the natural circulation and muscle tissue.

Exercising and exercising regularly can overstrain muscles and other soft tissues.  A sports massage therapist aims to prevent or alleviate injuries, improve muscle performance, and correct muscle imbalances.  There is evidence that a sports massage can aid recovery from repetitive muscle injuries.  There is also evidence that sports massages can improve muscle performance, but they are less conclusive.

After a deep tissue, stretching is my most important activity. Stretching can help minimize inflammation in areas that have been worked aggressively, without resorting to ice, which could stimulate contraction, or Advil, which can be quite hard on your stomach.

SINGAPORE  – Oil prices edged up on Friday but traded in a tight range as demand concerns caused by new coronavirus variants and slow vaccine rollouts offset a cut in Saudi Arabian oil supply and falling U.S. oil inventories.

Oil rises but remains rangebound as OPEC cuts offset virus fears-oil and gas 360

Brent crude futures for March rose 60 cents, or 1.1%, to $56.13 a barrel by 1455 GMT.

The Brent March contract expires on Friday. The more active April contract was up 69 cents, or 1.2%, at $55.79.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 70 cents, or 1.3%, to $53.04.

A Reuters poll showed that oil prices are expected to hover around current levels for much of 2021 before a recovery gains traction towards the end of the year.

“Restrictions on the demand side because of lockdowns are countered by a sufficient reduction in supply … preventing prices from falling or rising to any significant extent,” said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.

Saudi Arabia is set to cut output by 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in February and March. Compliance with output curbs by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, together known as OPEC+, has improved in January.

OPEC oil output rose in January, a Reuters survey found, after the producer group and allies agreed to an easing of supply curbs.

However, the rise was still less than the amount agreed under the deal, with an involuntary drop in Nigerian exports limiting the increase.

A 9.9 million barrel drawdown in U.S. oil inventories last week and forecasts for a small drop in U.S. oil production in February provided price support, but market gains have been capped by concern over stalled vaccine rollouts and the spread of contagious new variants of the coronavirus. [EIA/S]

Europe’s fight to secure COVID-19 vaccine supplies intensified on Thursday when the European Union warned drug companies such as AstraZeneca that it would use all legal means or even block exports to ensure shots are delivered as promised.

“The expected rebound in global oil demand depends a great deal on the pace of COVID-19 vaccine distribution,” said Stephen Brennock of broker PVM.

“Any loss of momentum in vaccination programmes will undermine the strength of the global oil demand recovery.”
