10,001,301 | 18" with Flash 8" with Flash 8" 18"
Photographers who like to shoot in the rain will appreciate the 2-pack RC-P18F Rain Cover for DSLR with Lens up to 18" and Flash from Ruggard. Each cover provides an easy to use way of protecting your DSLR with on-camera flash and lens from water, dust, dirt and mud. The cover will accommodate a DSLR with a lens up to 18" long and 7" wide. The polyethylene cover has openings for your camera and lens that are secured with drawstrings. The cover also has enough space to accommodate your lens hood.
The cover is tripod-mountable by first placing your camera/lens combo inside and then placing the entire assembly over your tripod. The see-through design gives you complete access to your DSLR's controls and viewfinder. The pre-cut viewfinder hole lets you attach your camera's rubber eyecup from the outside of the cover. This assures optimum viewfinder clarity, even in harsh weather conditions.
Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 8.2 x 6.4 x 0.8"
RC-P18F Rain Cover for DSLR with Lens up to 18" and Flash (Pack of 2) is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 58.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike from Durable and effective cover I bought this to use over my gear while shooting Holi (a Hindu festival where dyed powder is thrown all over participants). It performed even better than expected in protecting my camera bodies and lenses, and I would have no hesitation about using this cover in a heavy rainstorm. The plastic is clear and easy to see through but very durable, and fits nicely over the camera with a drawstring that tightens it around both long and short lenses. A little difficult to turn knobs and wheels on the camera body if you're holding it on the outside as I was, but I believe you're meant to have you hand up inside the cover during normal use. Definitely recommend keeping one in your bag.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheryl from Good protection from rain and salt spray I was looking for a means to protect my camera and lens when caught in a situation with rain or salt spray. I have not had an actual opportunity to use the rain cover with rain or spray yet, but I feel I am ready when it occurs. I installed the Ruggard RC | [

10,001,302 | -P18F Camera Rain Cover /Flash on my 70D with a 150-600mm lens with the lens hood and it fit well and was easy to install the cover quickly. The camera, lens and tripod were easy to operate and make adjustments as well as be able to see the LCD screen through the clear film and evaluate the exposure and histogram. There was plenty of room to install my Sunpac 433AF flash. The package came with two covers that fold flat and easily fit in my backpack camera bag. I am very satisfied with this rain cover.
Rated 4 out of 5 by daniel from I have no idea When bought in conjunction with a lot of other items, only the front/back cover made it to my bag: the insert had open and content lost somewhere before the pick up counter. I don't know how well this is made, not if it's practical. In the meantime, I bought the Ruggard RC-P18 Rain Cover, which fits well (My camera bodies are weather sealed but some of my lenses aren't.) The price is well worth protecting expensive gear, and I am looking forward to using these in the field.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vutama from Decent Rain cover The reason i bought this was because i was taking pictures during blizzard. So i thought i'd rather spending few extra bucks than having my camera fixed in the service center which could cost more. This rain cover is very durable, although this is made of plastic. It fits my camera well. However, i think it'd be better if they can provide a better rope version. It kept sliding from my lens. So it's either reveal my lens or cover the lens.
Rated 5 out of 5 by The Night Photographer from Works great Durable, not flimsy plastic. Bought it on a whim and ended up using it that night when I got caught in a rainstorm.
Rated 3 out of 5 by John Farrell from Used it the day I got it Used it the day it arrived, we had flash floods here in Las Vegas. It held up okay, not fantastically, but adequately. Caused stickiness inside sleeve, but tolerable. Not designed for major rainfall in buckets all at once but is suitable for light rain long enough to get your shots. A bit of a hassle wrapping camera, takes a bit of patience. Overall worth having, the price is right.
Has anyone tried using this with a c100 | [

I don't have that camera. But I did use this up in Alaska this past summer and fund it to be of use. It looks like a plastic bag but the material is stronger. I bought 2 because I was afraid it might tear but it lasted the whole trip and I still have it. I figured at the price point it was worth the shot.
Yes, if you don't accidentally rip it while using and put them away nicely. | [

10,001,304 | Nikki Williams Rucker | Chronicles Too!
The thing that makes The MSK Experience so special is that we are one company serving the unique needs of two populations all with the same goal: Changing lives! The mission of the MSK Experience is to create a global network of sisterhood that inspires girls and women through intentional experiences designed to empower, motivate and educate.
My Sister’s Keeper (MSK) started as a teen program on the south side of Chicago. As a teacher, I had the unique opportunity to see students in and out of the classroom. In 2007, I met a young lady who was in all the honors classes, but who was also working a job every night that kept her out until 1 am. She lived in a single parent home with a mom who was doing her best to raise three kids and work a fulltime job. That young lady was working to pay for her basic needs, and I knew I had to do something. What started as me sponsoring her basic needs and paying for all of her graduation fees and prom, ended up in a life-long sisterhood where my community of friends adopted her and coached her to and through college graduation. In looking back, I realized that while school was doing a good job of teaching her academically, she needed a safe space to learn the necessary life skills for traversing the waters of young adulthood. From there MSK was born.
We piloted the MSK program from 2008-2010 with 200 girls and built a curriculum, community workshop, and mentoring model. We officially incorporated, got our 501(c)(3) status, and have served over 2500 girls since then. In 2017, we again looked at our organization and realized that the women who were mentoring our girls, also needed those same lessons and experiences. We started a private Facebook group with five women and a vision board party, and within three months the private group grew to 100 women and monthly touchpoints. Our teen program is now in two program schools as we test the waters in Georgia. On top of that, our women's network will be starting a young professional series, women's conferences, and monthly experiences soon.
Our organization received the Daily Point of Light award in 2015 and the Allstate Local Community of the Year award in 2016.
My proudest moments are when our alumni apply to be program facilitators and send us notes about their current graduations, new jobs, and new homes.

10,001,305 | best advice I have ever received is, " You were made to do hard things." I have used this in both my personal life and in business. When I moved to Georgia, I had to make the tough decision to close MSK Chicago because I could no longer sustain flying back and forth each month. I was not working, and my husband suddenly fell ill. It was a dark time for about a year. It was in the moment of feeling like I had to abandon my dream of running The MSK Experience to deal with my family struggles that I pulled this advice out and move forward with what I knew I was purposed to do. In tough moments when giving up would be the easiest thing to do, I always choose the road that tests my resolve and keep moving forward. God wouldn't give it to me, if I could not handle it.
The best advice I would give my younger self: "Be YOU unapologetically." When I was young, I struggled with loving myself because of the hue of my skin. I was never satisfied with how I looked or how I sounded. I spent a great deal of time unhappy and wishing I was something more. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I truly realized how amazing I was...just as I am. | [

10,001,306 | You can simply say that gone are those days when only few people had access to computer and internet. The technology has taken several steps ahead and now people walk with internet in their pockets accessible through their Smartphone and tablets. Mobile, smart phones and tablets have become a staple for the youngsters who want to keep themselves updated and active on all the social networking sites. Hence, it has created a challenge for the website designers too to make such websites that can be viewed comfortably on the Smartphone too.
Mobile websites have become really important as more and more people are accessing the internet through their phones and smart phones. But, it can be quite costly to have two versions of a single website. So, the best solution to this is responsive websites. Responsive Websites automatically scale to display in the medium in which they are viewed be it a desktop, Smartphone or tablet. They have become an optimum choice for marketers as they can easily adapt to different screen sizes. So, you will see a completely different layout if you see it in a desktop, or Smartphone.
In the responsive websites, a single code and content are enough for the all the web layout. The content on the websites will not change as only the CSS (cascading style sheets) changes. As there is ne need to introduce extra content outside your main site, they are much easier to maintain. Moreover, they provide a customized experience for the viewer on different screen sizes. You can reach out to a wide number of people with the help of Responsive Websites. They help the marketers and businessmen to promote themselves to their prospective customers.
Availing the services of a Professional Mobile Web Designing Company is a crucial aspect if you have decided to go for Responsive Websites. Choose a company, which is reliable and can provide you the services as per your requirements. Preview the work of the company to get an idea about the websites that they have designed. Also, ensure that the service charge is within the market rate. | [

10,001,307 | “This is the world’s most sophisticated and extensive search of Atlantis ever made,” says University of Hartford Professor of Jewish History and archaeologist Richard Freund about his role in National Geographic Channel’s new documentary Atlantis Rising. Produced by and starring Oscar-winning director James Cameron (Avatar, Titantic) and Emmy-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovic, the two-hour investigative documentary includes extensive footage of Freund and an international group of archaeologists, scientists, and historians as they search for the lost city of Atlantis and evidence of the “Atlantean” civilization.
The film takes viewers on a journey through Greece, Spain, and multiple locations in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean; with the highpoint of the expedition being the discovery by Freund’s team of marine archaeologists of six stone anchors which could date back thousands of years to the Bronze Age off the coast of Southern Spain.
Watch a trailer from the film, which premiered in January and is available on demand at channel.nationalgeographic.com.
To coincide with the launch of Atlantis Rising, the University and the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT) partnered to create and launch a mobile app that gives the sense of what it’s like to be a member of the Atlantis archeology project. Archaeology Quest: Atlantis, is available for free download from iTunes. It allows users to explore the team’s years of research on Atlantis and learn about many other archaeological projects that included University students on the research team.
“You don’t have to study archaeology to be a member of our research team,” says Freund, who encourages students from all areas of the University to participate.
Last summer, students were part of Freund’s international team that made one of the most important discoveries from the Holocaust. That group located a 100-foot-long underground tunnel made by 80 Jews who attempted a courageous escape from the extermination pits at Paneriai, Lithuania on the last night of Passover in April 1944. The New York Times called it one of the most memorable scientific discoveries of 2016, and it was detailed in hundreds of media outlets worldwide, including The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, CNN, WNPR, and the BBC. The discovery is the subject of an upcoming NOVA documentary, The Holocaust Escape Tunnel, which is scheduled to air on PBS on April 19. | [

10,001,315 | Whether you’re thinking about a quick holiday or a longer stay, the country of Finland has a lot of great experiences just waiting for you. All you have to do is show up, and come with an open mind. We pulled together a list of great things to do in Finland, and we hope that you’ll keep these in mind.
If you’re going to hit this major Finnish city, you have to go to Casino Helsinki. We know a lot of people think of Vegas as the only place that has a space devoted to casino gambling, but that’s just not the case. You can go to Casino Helsinki and play all sorts of games? Now, we’re not planning a trip to this major city just yet. We’re much more likely to stay at home and stay to play our favorite games. If you find yourself saying the same thing, why not look at some reviews before you dive in? We like the way the info is set up at CasinoExpertti.com, where everything is literally at your fingertips. You won’t have to search long before you find the info you need to figure out where to start playing online. Every casino is going to have a slightly different flavor, so to speak. Go in, taste the ones you like and see if they would be a good fit for your interests. It’s really that simple!
This beautiful cathedral just should not be missed! It is part of the Senate Square of Helsinki and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. When seen from the air, the church is in the shape of a Greek cross. You could even schedule to have your wedding held in this church, but there’s a very long waiting list for that to happen.
This is one of the oldest buildings in all of Finland, and people still use it to this day. In medieval times, this castle was the stage for numerous sieges and even fierce battles. The peak of this castle’s significance was in the 16th century, as Duke John of Finland reigned over the land. This castle even served as a state prison for a few centuries! If you decide to make a trip to Finland, you have to check out the castle in its entirety…well, as much as you can schedule in a single day!
Overall, there are plenty of great things to do in Finland. Even though it’s not known for | [

Untie the Gordian Knot, knit together a collaboration has been removed from your bookmarks.
I am a big believer that many of the intractable problems we face today can be solved through a diverse and collaborative effort that includes a cross-sector of industries, public and private collaborations, and partnerships between nonprofit and for-profit organizations. I believe only when we break the constraints of an existing system are we able to imagine new and innovative ways to solve our collective challenges. This is true for most everything… including health care.
At Deloitte, I am proud and privileged to champion the RightStep program – a unique initiative, part of the Strive for College organization, that seeks to empower and motivate underprivileged students to become future leaders – starting with a college degree. This is a multi-faceted initiative that taps Deloitte’s most powerful asset: our people. Through skill-based volunteerism and mentoring, our team members help students from low-income families prepare for and enroll in college. There are 500,000 low-income students around the country who could attend college this year, but won’t pursue it for variety of reasons.
This year, more than 170,000 students will seek a mentor from Strive for College. This nonprofit organization has a virtual platform that matches students with mentors who help students navigate the college search and admissions process. Based upon Strive’s analytics, 97 percent of the students who are matched to a mentor wind up enrolling in a college, and 80 percent persist into their sophomore year.
The societal impact of intergenerational poverty keeps too many low-income children from going to college, finding a career, and reaching their potential. The numbers are staggering. While this is an intractable problem, the collaboration between Strive and leading companies that tap into their own pools of talent can positively impact hundreds of thousands low-income students. Imagine the possibilities if we extend that idea to health care.
Can health care collaborations break the constraints?
Similarly, the health care sector faces a dilemma that could be solved, or at least improved, through collaboration. In a recent survey, hospital CEOs told us that moving to value-based care and improving population health are two of their biggest challenges. Value-based care is also a major focus for health plans. Clinical analytics – which | [

10,001,319 | includes value-based care and population health – is now the largest investment category among health plans, according to a recent online survey of company executives, which is included in our new report on health plan analytics.
Many health plans are increasing their use of analytics to boost the value of their products and services. However, just 16 percent of our health plan respondents stated that collaboration with providers was a driver of their analytics investments. In our interviews with health care providers and health plans – and based upon our own experience – we confirmed that analytical insights are largely not being shared in most value-based contract arrangements.
Through the use of advanced analytics, health plans can analyze everything from value-based contracts to potential fraud and abuse. They also can create detailed insights into population health and social determinants of health. While these analytics can allow health plans to develop an impressive list of tools, not sharing their insights with network providers and value-based contract participants seems like a missed opportunity.
The data health plans collect isn’t as rich as it could be, and is largely confined to information generated by claims, eligibility, and encounters. It typically doesn’t include information about outcomes, patient satisfaction, wellness, or clinical data. In addition, the performance improvement desired by subscribers and employers often requires a more holistic view of the patient, which likely is not possible without information and insights from the clinical, the claims, and the patient. Health care providers could fill that gap by helping to form a complete picture.
Health plan executives provide good reasons why they don’t share analytics with providers. These include regulatory and competitive constraints, challenges related to patient attribution, lack of a master patient identifier, and technology that limits their ability to share insights at a scale to match their network size. There also are potential alignment issues that come up in the provider relationship.
These significant challenges may seem intractable in their own way, especially if each silo in the health care ecosystem tries to solve it on their own. But, being a big believer in collaborations, I don’t see these as insurmountable problems. All of the executives we interviewed agree that real success is only going to be sustainable when the health plan shares its data insights with clinical care delivery teams, and the clinical delivery teams shares their data insights with the health plan.
Collaborations between health plans, health systems, and physicians are being established in virtually every market, and are gaining acceptance as a model that might | [

Imagine the possibilities when health care providers understand where the adverse variances are occurring and are able to find ways to innovate their processes, or identify new models of care that lower cost by improving access and patient engagement…or a health plan that creates a new plan design that encourages wellness. Breaking constraints isn’t easy, but the existing challenges can’t be solved without a commitment to collaborations.
And speaking of collaborating…if you want to make a difference in a very tangible, impactful way for one of the 170,000 students who is looking for a mentor like you to help them get into college, feel free to learn more about our collaboration with Strive for College.
With fewer than three weeks left before the Senate’s deadline to fast-track legislation, four Republican senators – Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), Dean Heller (Nevada), and Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) – have introduced a bill aimed at repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The deadline to use budget reconciliation – which only requires 51 votes to pass and gives Republicans a chance at passing a more conservative fix – is September 30, 2017. After that, lawmakers will not be able to pass major health care legislation this year without 60 votes (which would require support from at least eight Democratic senators).
The Senate Finance Committee has reached a bipartisan agreement to renew funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for five years. The $8 billion in the proposed legislation would maintain the ACA’s 23 percent increase in the federal matching rate to states for 2018 and 2019. Funding would begin decreasing in 2020 to 11.5 percent, and would be eliminated in 2021. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has not unveiled its legislation.
CHIP is authorized through 2019, but funding for the program is slated to run out at the end of September. The ACA increased federal CHIP funding by 23 percent, and many states assumed the funding would continue as they put together their budgets.
CHIP provides health coverage to children in families with income levels between 138 percent and 405 percent of the federal poverty level. States determine the eligibility levels within those parameters, and the ACA requires that | [

10,001,321 | states maintain eligibility levels that were in place as of March 23, 2010. States that reduce eligibility lose federal funding.
Last week, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee continued its discussions on short-term solutions to stabilize the individual insurance market. In two hearings, lawmakers heard from witnesses such as former Utah Governor Michael O. Leavitt, who also served as secretary of the US Department of Health And Human Services (HHS), and Bernard J. Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. Other witnesses represented health care providers, health plans, and consumers.
The themes from the testimonies did not differ significantly from the previous week’s hearings, which featured insurance commissioners and governors (see the September 12, 2017 Health Care Current). Most of the witnesses agreed that short-term solutions to stabilizing the individual market should include temporary funding of the ACA’s cost-sharing reduction payments, a temporary or permanent reinsurance program to help reduce premiums for individuals, state flexibility in the 1332 waiver program, and a reinstatement of navigator and outreach funding support.
During the most recent hearing, several witnesses suggested that Congress consider allowing more individuals to enroll in catastrophic health plans – health plans with high deductibles but lower premiums, which are now available only to qualified individuals under the age of 30. Proponents of these so called “copper-level” plans say that more individuals would buy coverage through the exchanges if these plans were available to them. A witness from the advocacy group Young Invincibles focused part of her testimony on an analysis of these plans, noting that the typical deductible would be about $9,000. An analysis conducted by the group found that a copper-level plan – coupled with a health savings account (HSA) – would require a typical young, uninsured individual to save $632 a month to cover expected health care spending while the deductible applied.
Similarly, a recent Deloitte analysis of plan designs in five markets examined the average cost of an outpatient hospital visit to determine the costs consumers under age 30 would face with a high-deductible health plan. We found that a 27-year-old would need to have between $3,617 and $6,572 in an HSA to cover the cost of the average outpatient hospital visit. However, the average 25- to 34-year-old in the group market holds an account balance of only $1 | [

Related: Last week, the Senate Finance Committee also held a hearing to discuss health care costs and coverage in the individual market. The Chairman of the committee, Senator Orrin Hatch, commented in his opening statement that he believes Congress can agree to fix some of the major issues affecting the individual market. He would like to start with members on both sides considering rolling back the individual and employer mandates. Meanwhile, Ranking Member Senator Ron Wyden focused his comments on giving states flexibility on 1332 waivers, a policy he authored in the ACA, and emphasizing transparency, competition, and choice for consumers in the individual market.
The committee heard from several health care analysts. Andy Slavitt, former Acting Administrator for the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), agreed with many of the witnesses from other hearings, saying funding the CSRs, reinsurance, outreach support, and revisiting the 1332 waiver process should be immediate focus areas for Congress. Avik Roy, the co-founder and president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, went further to say that Congress should go beyond accelerating the timeline for 1332 waivers and address the underlying design of the requirements for such waivers. Roy also said that any funding of the CSRs should also be accompanied by relief from several ACA policies, such as the 3:1 age band and actuarial value mandates.
The Duke-Robert J. Margolis Center for Health Policy, supported by a cooperative agreement with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), convened a day-long workshop on September 13 to bring the stakeholder community together to discuss a variety of topics related to the use of real-world data (RWD) and evidence (RWE) in drug development and regulatory decision-making. Topics included an update on FDA’s implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act’s provisions related to RWE, and the development of a framework for tackling challenges related to RWE’s regulatory acceptability. Panelists also discussed opportunities to improve the data development activities, study designs, and analytical methods used to create robust RWE.
Moderator Mark McClellan, director of the Duke-Robert Margolis Center, and other participants set the stage for what RWD and RWE are (see graphic), and discussed the need to integrate RWE into the regulatory process.

Agreeing on study designs and analytical methods, which are used to translate RWD into evidence that can tell a fuller story of the patient experience, will be important.
Next steps in advancing the regulatory guidance. Representatives from the FDA discussed the ongoing work of the agency to issue guidance on what it expects from nontraditional trials. Under both the Cures Act and the prescription drug user fee (PDUFA VI) provisions, FDA has established timetables for developing guidance on using RWE within its regulatory framework, and the agency will continue to seek guidance in the coming months and years with as much external collaboration and input as possible.
The FDA has opened an informal comment period through October 11, and will be accepting comments on how to develop a framework for regulatory use of RWE.
Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who served during much of the Obama administration, is launching a $225 million global health initiative that aims to save 100 million lives by reducing cardiovascular disease and other public health threats. The initiative is called Resolve and is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Vital Strategies, a global health organization working in more than 60 countries, will run the initiative, while Frieden will serve as the organization’s president and chief executive officer.
Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death. The initiative will also work to help low- and middle-income countries fight infectious disease epidemics by strengthening laboratory networks to better track and identify the spread of disease.
The California legislature passed the nation's most comprehensive drug-price transparency law last week, with votes of 66-9 in the Assembly and 32-8 in the Senate. It heads next to Governor Jerry Brown.
The bill institutes a host of reporting and transparency measures for drug manufacturers and health insurers alike. For drugs that cost more than $40 for one course, manufacturers must give public and private insurers 60 days notice before raising the price by 16 percent or more over two years. They must also provide an explanation for the price increase. Health insurers must report how much they spend on prescription drugs and how much drug price hikes affect premiums. The state's Department of Managed Health Care and Department of Insurance must disclose this information to the public annually in | [

Last week CMS granted Florida 14 administrative waivers to support health care providers caring for patients impacted by Hurricane Irma.
Four of the waivers allow clinicians to work outside of their typical scope of practice.
Five of the waivers loosen various patient and admitting requirements for hospitals and medical facilities. These include the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), the three-day prior hospitalization requirement for Skilled Nursing Facilities, the 25-bed limit for Critical Access Hospitals, and Rehabilitation Hospital requirements.
Three of the waivers modify oversight enforcement and quality reporting activities.
One waiver requires Medicare Advantage plans to waive prior authorization and in-network provider requirements during a public health emergency.
One waiver temporarily delays Medicaid fair hearings and decisions.
Background: Section 1135 of the Social Security Act authorizes the Secretary of HHS to waive certain Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and HIPPA requirements when the President has made a Stafford Act Emergency Declaration, and when the Secretary of HHS has declared a Public Health Emergency. CMS granted similar waivers to other states and territories in response to Hurricane Harvey.
The model is one of several physician-focused payment models (PFPMs) that the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) recommended HHS evaluate as a qualifying APM under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). PTAC made its recommendation back in April after reviewing the model design and payment methodology (see the April 18, 2017 Health Care Current). Secretary Price also declined to test two additional PFPMs, one focused on patients with gastrointestinal disease and another for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The shift from volume to value is happening all over health care, even in antibiotic development. A team of experts at Duke University released its Priority Antimicrobial Value and Entry (PAVE) proposal, which aims to assure a return-on-investment (ROI) for antibiotic developers. The proposal works by shifting the revenue of new antibiotics from the volume used to their value to treat high-risk infections from multidrug-resistant bacteria. The proposal seeks to promote antibiotic stewardship so that future drugs remain effective.
The proposal would use public funds to cover most of the revenue for the first one to two years a new antibiotic is on the market. The revenue would be phased out over five years and replaced with revenue from population-based contracts with health insurers. The health insurance companies | [

10,001,325 | would pay the company that develops the antibiotic on a per-volume basis in exchange for the company’s guarantee that the new drug would be available for any patients who develop high-risk infections from multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Developing new antibiotics comes with many financial challenges. Public and private partnerships help to provide incentives for companies to develop new antibiotics by providing funding during the pre-clinical and clinical trial phases of development. These partnerships are appealing to some start-up biomedical companies. But the challenge of a lack of ROI remains. The effectiveness of antibiotics is reduced the more they are used, so any new antibiotic – including those used for serious, multidrug-resistant infections – would need to be held in reserve to maintain effectiveness. Companies might not realize ROI if their medications are not widely used. The PAVE proposal represents an incentive that could help address that challenge.
The PAVE proposal uses the concept of a market-entry reward combined with population-based payments from the private sector. Health plans would pay the companies a certain amount per-member and per-month to ensure that all their members have access to the new antibiotic. They also would be encouraged to promote prudent use of the drug so that it remains effective. The model aligns with the health care system’s overall shift to link payment to value.
Other ideas put forth in the proposal include taxing pharmaceutical companies that are not developing new antibiotics. The rationale is that many types of drugs depend on effective antibiotics. Another idea is a transferable exclusivity voucher, by which a company would receive a 6- to 12-month exclusivity extension on the development and launch of a high-priority antibiotic. The company could apply that voucher to the new antibiotic or another drug in its portfolio, or sell it. The proposal could take years to implement and some ideas will likely be pilot-tested, but stakeholders think it is a positive sign that there is some consensus on ways to solve the challenges of developing new and effective antibiotics.
Related: Researchers are tackling the complex challenge of antibiotic resistance from multiple angles. A recent article in Nature describes some activities in the public and private sector to develop vaccines as a strategy. Vaccines can reduce the number of cases of diseases, which slow the rise of drug-resistant pathogens. Vaccines have an advantage over antimicrobials because they prevent infections, while antibiotics aim to stop an infection when there is already a dense population of microbes that can spur resistant strains. | [

10,001,326 | Vaccines face a similar ROI challenge in that they are expensive to develop. However, stakeholders working on the issue are determined to demonstrate their value in fighting antimicrobial resistance – as well as protecting against infections – to encourage governments and health organizations to provide better incentives for new products.
Crowdsourcing is another strategy to find innovative solutions to the challenges around antibiotic development. Innovation funder Nesta announced the Longitude Prize – an international competition with a multi-million dollar prize – to encourage teams to submit novel ideas to conserve antibiotics for future generations. Teams involved in the competition are proposing a range of ideas, including developing rapid tests or diagnostic tools that a pharmacy or patients could use to identify bacteria. Another team is trying to detect the body’s immune-response to pathogens and improve ways the body can fight infection without antibiotics. | [

10,001,332 | With video games like Bioshock Infinite, Mass Effect(at least until a certain point), and many other video games finally really nailing story the reaction of many people is that this would make a good movie. The same is of course true of many comic books, novels and even TV shows. And to be fair there have been good adaptations made from all of these (though I’m at a loss for a good video game adaptation off the top of my head) but the best adaptations are those that take the core ideas and feel from one of these genres and move it into another, because while there are core aspects of story that are true in every media they are fundamentally different and it is vital for people to understand that.
That is why, in my opinion, the Avengers worked far better as a movie than Watchmen. Watchmen wasn’t bad, but it wanted to be the comic book more than it wanted to be its own movie. This is especially common in comic book movies because people want to see the iconic images that are in the comics on screen and since the images exist there is less room for variation in a strict adaptation. And Watchmen had an even harder time because it was extremely popular and tightly written which gave it far less room to adjust things for the big screen, while the Avengers had a director who understood both media very well and understood how to adapt one to the other already.
Going back to Bioshock Infinite, there is no doubt that there is enough story here for a movie, and I could certainly see someone making a very good movie out of this game, that said, this is a story that was created for a video game and works far better in that video game. It let you really feel what it is like to be the main character of the story and was able to very slowly trickle out both information and clues as to what was happening. It even managed to work character deaths into the narrative in a way that improved the story rather than simply throwing in an excuse for why you come back. The depth of the plot and ideas are also perfect for a video game that holds your attention both considerably longer and more in depth than a movie will because you’re actually involved in the story. A movie that wants a broad audience is either going to ignore large parts of the story of Bioshock infinite or make it far simpler, and in this case it won’t even be because the movie makers think that the | [

10,001,333 | people watching the movie are stupid. It’s because there is a lot going on and you can’t make a two hour movie and have thirty minutes of it explaining the science and then spend at least another 15 minutes explaining the plot twists. You have to actually have time for things like character development and even a little bit of action.
The biggest issue for many people is books, and I admit this can be an issue for me too. I’m a bit scared about the new Ender’s Game movie because I’m not convinced they are going to be able to capture the book and I’m already hearing complaints about how the next movie in The Hobbit trilogy isn’t going to be accurate to the book. This is even correct sometimes when a movie fails to explain an important point or changes a point in a book which creates plot holes and issues in the story. For example it’s hard to imagine many of the points in Ender’s Game working with older children. Without spoiling it is hard to explain the exact reasons, but in essence older kids, especially very smart ones, are less likely to believe everything they are told. But in the end they are two very different forms of media. A book like Ender’s Game can have a dozen or more characters under the age of 12 without all that many issues while this is going to be far more difficult for a movie that has to deal with school, labor laws and the normal issues of kids. | [

10,001,334 | Two leading providers of development programmes for schoolchildren have joined up to raise the aspirations of students in the north of England and beyond.
Positive Footprints and Primary Futures both work with schools to open up the world of work for primary school children, helping them learn more about possible career choices and the importance of education.
Through its Raising Aspirations programme, Positive Footprints gets pupils to think about their futures and develop key skill associated with the world of work in a fun and engaging way. The programme is an out of box solution for schools, with all the necessary materials provided for teachers to deliver the programme in the classroom.
Primary Futures connects schools with inspirational and diverse volunteers from a range of different employers. The volunteers come into schools and talk to children about their jobs, raising aspirations and connecting the world of work with the classroom.
The partnership will see both organisations bring their programmes together to enable schools to run the Raising Aspirations programme and access business volunteers for career carousel events, giving schools a broader range of resources.
Lesley Burrows, Managing Director of Positive Footprints, said: “We are really excited to be bringing these two fantastic programmes together and offering schools the best chance of preparing their students for the transition to secondary school.
Nick Chambers, CEO of Education and Employers the charity that runs Primary Futures said: “Meeting our volunteers from the world of work chatting about their jobs can really help to spark primary school children’s imaginations about what they want to be when they grow up. | [

The more intense your light source, the greater the contrast in your picture. The smaller the light source, the more intense the light source. The sun in the middle of the day on a sunny day is a very small and intense light source.
This picture has low contrast lighting which is much better lighting particularly for people. With low contrast lighting the light source is bigger. Shade creates a bigger light source. You can also shoot pictures on a cloudy day. The clouds soften the light. Shooting pictures in the morning and the evening is also good. The sun is filtered through more of the atmosphere and is a bigger, softer light source.
Warm colors are the best for people. Warm colors are red, yellow, and orange. Warm colors are also good for landscapes. The best time to take pictures where the light will create warm colors is in the morning and the evening.
Cool colors are blue, green, and purple. Cool colors are not very good for people. Taking pictures on dark, stormy days or in dark shade will create cool colors in your photograph.
Front light is also known as flat light. Light falls on the front of your subject.
Front light takes away shadows and dimension. If you use a flash, your photo will always have front light.
Light falls on the side of the subject. This is the most natural type of lighting. It makes your subject look 3 dimensional. The best time of day to take pictures with side lighting is in the morning and evening.
Light falls on the back of your subject. It can create silhouettes and sparkling water. It can also cause hair glow.
The intensity of the light source controls the contrast in the picture. The more intense the light source, the greater the contrast. The smaller the light source, the more intense the light source. The closer and bigger the light source, the less intense it will be. | [

10,001,336 | 3SquaresVT is Vermont’s food stamp program. 3SquaresVT helps low-income individuals and families buy food. Each month the Department for Children and Families Economic Services Division (DCF/ESD) deposits money into a debit card like a bank card.
The bank card is called the “Vermont EBT card.” Most Vermont grocery, convenience store, and some farmers markets accept Vermont EBT cards. If you are age 60 or over, or get Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you can get a cash benefit deposited into your bank account.
You can buy most foods with your Vermont EBT card. You can’t buy non-food items like tobacco, soap, toothpaste, pet products, pet food and alcohol with your 3SquaresVT benefits. Every time you buy food with your card, the amount is taken from the money in your Vermont EBT account. Your receipt will show you what is left on your card.
If you get 3SquaresVT benefits and lose food because of flooding, fire or loss of electricity, you may be eligible for replacement benefits. You must request replacement benefits within 10 days of the event that caused you to lose food.
Go to the 3SquaresVT website to find out if you can get replacement benefits and what you need to do. If you have questions, call the Benefits Service Center at 1-800-479-6151 or call your local district office.
You can find more information about 3SquaresVT in this section of our website. If you are eligible, you should apply for 3SquaresVT.
In most cases you can get your 3SquaresVT benefit within a month from the date you apply. If you have no current 3SquareVT benefits and no other money, you may be eligible for Emergency 3SquaresVT.
Your monthly income is less than $150 and you have less than $100 at the time you apply.
Your monthly rent/mortgage and utilities are more than your monthly income.
You are a migrant or seasonal farm worker household and have little or no income at the time you apply.
What is a 3SquaresVT Household?
A 3SquaresVT household is the people who live, purchase and prepare food together. There may be only one person in a 3SquaresVT household. Or, there may be more than one 3SquaresVT household in the same home, | [

As your income goes up, your 3SquaresVT benefit goes down (roughly $1 for each $3 you make). The table below lists the maximum amount a household can receive. You may get less.
If you receive 3SquaresVT (food stamps), you automatically qualify for some other benefits. This website tells you more about the benefits you can receive.
You should apply for both Fuel Assistance (seasonal fuel benefits) and 3SquaresVT. If you get fuel assistance, it may increase the amount of 3SquaresVT benefits you get.
If you live in subsidized housing, you should still apply for fuel assistance. Some people who live in public housing or have a Section 8 voucher may get a $5 fuel benefit. That benefit may increase your 3SquaresVT benefit amount.
You can deduct the child care expenses you pay when you apply for 3SquaresVT. This flyer about child care costs and food stamps tells you more.
If you are a senior, this flyer tells you more about how 3SquaresVT can help you stay healthy and independent.
If you already get 3SquaresVT, you may qualify for more help if your medical expenses are at least $35. Use this helpful monthly medical expense worksheet, prepared by Law Line of Vermont, to add up your monthly expenses.
Visit this web page to find out how to apply for these programs.
You have a right to a timely decision from the Department for Children and Families (DCF). If you give the information that you are asked to provide, DCF has to give you an answer within 30 days. You may qualify for a faster decision. Find out more about your right to a timely decision.

10,001,338 | Corvette Racing drivers Tommy Milner and Oliver Gavin took first place at the Tequila Patron American Le Mans Series at Long Beach, California on Saturday, April 14th in the second round of the American Le Mans Series. The duo finished 84 laps of the 1.968-mile track in their No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R, coming in 4.26 seconds ahead of runner-up No. 56 BMW. The victory was the first for Corvette Racing in the GT class in Long Beach, and its fourth since moving from the GT1 category in 2009. Team mates Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen took fourth place in their No. 3 C6.R after a fender-bender during the first lap.
The win for Milner and Gavin was the first for the driver combination, and was also Milner’s first career ALMS victory. After qualifying was cancelled due to rain, the 26 year-old started the No. 4 ‘Vette third on the GT grid and avoided a first-lap accident that caught the sister No. 3 car by surprise. Milner then took the lead at 24 minutes into the two-hour competition, but ceded the point to the No. 01 Ferrari before the first and only pitstop when he handed the car over to Gavin in perfect condition. With Gavin at the wheel, the No. 4 C6.R moved from third to first with 45 minutes remaining in the race, passing Scott Sharp’s Ferrari and Dirk Mueller’s BMW.
The story of the No. 3 Corvette isn’t as fortunate: Garcia started the No. 3 Corvette C6.R second on the GT grid but got tangled up in a crash during the first lap when a pair of prototypes collided, drawing in the pack of closely-following GT cars. Garcia hit the car ahead of him and was then hit by the car behind him, leaving the Corvette with a damaged front fascia, a missing hood, a broken rear wing, and a cracked diffuser. But even with the “adjusted” aerodynamics, which resulted in severe understeer, Garcia managed to hold on to second place for 12 laps before surrendering the position to Milner. Garcia then handed off the car to Magnussen under a full-course caution momentarily before the halfway point. Magnussen went on to compete with the No. 56 BMW for the second spot but was passed by the No. 01 Ferrari | [

10,001,340 | When Chris Elias describes what success looks like to him, he speaks as though he is willing the disparate parts of his organization–employees, chunks of plastic, silicon, brick, and data–to become a living, organic thing.
By Elias’s measure–and nearly anyone else’s–the success of Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) over the past 25-plus years has been stunning. The organization has broken ground in the global public-health arena by adapting existing medical tools to the financial and cultural realities of developing nations from Kenya to Cambodia, India to the Ukraine. Where easily adaptable solutions were lacking, PATH has simply invented new ones.
PATH has created such technologies as the SoloShot, a syringe that automatically disables after a single use, preventing accidental transmission of disease from needle-sharing. Now licensed and manufactured by Becton Dickinson, the SoloShot is packaged with every vaccine that the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations delivers to the 74 poorest countries in the world. A more recent invention (and descendant of the SoloShot) called the Uniject device is a prefilled, single-dosage syringe designed for easy use even by those with little or no medical training. Uniject will be used this year to immunize all 5 million newborns in Indonesia against hepatitis B.
The pantheon of PATH’s innovations seems endless: There is the no-prescription, one-size-fits-most diaphragm and a newly designed female condom. There’s the Ultra Rice product, fortified with vitamin A, iron, zinc, thiamine, and folic acid to meet nutritional needs in areas where rice is the primary food source. And there’s the effort to circumvent what the public-health community calls the “cold chain”–the need for continuous refrigeration from a drug’s origin to the point of delivery. Rather than creating cold chains in remote rural areas lacking refrigeration, PATH instead has developed stable, heat-resistant vaccines for diseases such as polio and hepatitis B.
Indeed, PATH is just as likely to work with U.S. Agency for International Development (on containing a tuberculosis outbreak in the Ukraine) as with international pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (on development of a pediatric malaria vaccine in Mozambique). Its partnerships with the private sector have resulted in production and distribution of inexpensive, rapid-result HIV testing kits | [

These kits capture the beauty of PATH’s approach. Where people travel hours–sometimes days–to see a doctor, they don’t have the option to return two weeks later for test results. In such places, there are rarely even labs to process the test results. The answer: a test that gives on-the-spot results. For PATH, the magic lies not just in the ingenuity of the science, but in the simplicity of the solution.

10,001,343 | New Delhi: Vociferous protests by members of the Trinamool Congress today forced the adjournment of the Rajya Sabha for the day, as it failed to complete a discussion on Assam's National register of Citizens and the reply to it by Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
The House had witnessed an adjournment in the morning When the House reconvened at 2 PM after the lunch break, Sukhendu Shekhar Roy of the Trinamool Congress stood up and raised a point of order as BJP President Amit Shah was asked to conclude his speech he had started yesterday.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu responded to the point of order, saying he has allowed Shah to complete his speech which could not be completed yesterday due to continued disruptions.
Roy said "if any member who is so called upon does not speak, he shall not be entitled except with the permission of the Chair. Here, in this case, one honourable member has already spoken. How can he speak twice? There is no provision in the rules."
Soon thereafter, Trinamool Congress members stormed the Well of the House raising slogans, with Naidu asking them to go back to their seats, saying he has allowed Shah to conclude his speech.
Congress member Bhubaneshwar Kalita said his party members from Assam have not spoken on the NRC and should be given an opportunity to do so.
With disruptions continuing, Naidu said: "Are we at the mercy of one party? Why have your people (from Assam) have not spoken (when) an opportunity came to your party. Your party should have first given the opportunity to Assam members." "You create disorder and raise a point of order," Naidu said, and asked Shah to speak.
However, the BJP chief was unable to speak amidst the slogan shouting and disruption.
Naidu then said that the conduct of the protestors was unbecoming of Parliamentarians.
"There seems to be a system, that you spoke, you had your say, it has gone on record, now you come and disrupt the House. So you don't want to hear the reply," Naidu said, asking Shah again to speak.
However the BJP President said if his speaking caused "so much fear, he can let go of the opportunity" to enable Naidu to run the House.
"I know why they (opposition) do not | [

Then Naidu asked the Home Minister to reply to the debate.
However, the TMC members who were shouting slogans from the Well remained unrelenting.
Amid the unabated slogan shouting and disruption, Rajnath Singh sought the Chair's permission to table his entire speech, saying that some members did not wish to hear the reply to the discussion on the NRC.
"As some of the members do not want the debate to continue and are not willing to hear the reply of the Home Minister, I would like to thank the Home Minister for continuously coming here for three days," Naidu said and then adjourned the House for the day.
The Rajya Sabha was earlier adjourned till noon as Congress members created an uproar, insisting on removal from House records certain remarks made by BJP MP Amit Shah in connection with the Assam National Register of Citizens.
Soon after scheduled papers were laid, senior Congress MP Anand Sharma raised a point of order and insisted on removal of certain comments made by Shah yesterday in the Upper House.

10,001,348 | The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be going on sale today for the first time and already, we are getting leaks on their successor. For now, it would be wise to keep the consistency and refer to these next ones as the Galaxy S10 line-up.
According to the report, these new units will come with a Face ID much like the one we see on Apple’s iPhones. Samsung will start working with an Israeli startup by the name of Mantis Vision to develop the technology that they will use for their 3D facial recognition software.
Asides that, the report goes on to add that the S10 line-up will feature the much-talked-about in-screen fingerprint sensor. This is not the first time Samsung will talk about adding this to a smartphone. In fact, they have been promising something of the sort since before the launch of their Galaxy S8 and S8+.
Since then, the same technology has gone on to feature on devices such as Vivo X20 Plus UD and the Vivo Apex. It would be nice if the South Korean OEM kept to its promise this year and truly worked towards giving us something of the sort by the next flagship launch date.
Finally, we are expecting the Galaxy S10 to be the first smartphone in the world to ship with Qualcomm’s next-gen processor under its hood. This processor – expected to carry the Snapdragon 855 moniker – will support 5G and also, be manufactured on a highly efficient 7nm process.
That is a huge leap from the 14nm process Snapdragon 845 that can be found inside this year’s flagships.
After all that has been said, there is no guarantee that Samsung will call their next flagship S10. We wait to see what it would be called though, and we will surely appreciate a little bit of creativity on the Android smartphone giant’s part. | [

10,001,350 | Me and my Geocache Killer duck took a vacation day yesterday to take care of some business. We went to the Geocaching Headquarters in Seattle and boy what a trip! For anyone who has done Geocaching or wants to and is anywhere near Seattle I highly recommend going. For this one you have to make an appointment, so be prepared.
What fun! Here’s some of what I learned. GC HQ employees 81 people, but four work in the warehouse near the Needle. They have their own Café that serves breakfast and lunch called the Signal Café after their mascot. They are quite a visual company and their office building is stunning! There is a large TV that continuously displays the most recent caches that are logged all over the world. They have a wall of cache goodies, where you can buy the specialized “found it” shirt only available at GC HQ. My tour guide was wonderfully informative and very excited about getting to see me. She succeeded in making me want to work for them! It sounds like such a cool and fun place to work at. | [

10,001,351 | Labor Day has come and gone and I hope everyone had a happy one. Avocados, I’m sure made an appearance at probably 80% of the gatherings yesterday.
I never ate avocados as a kid, or even as a young adult; and it probably wasn’t until we moved to Texas that I really started buying and eating them and then it was just guacamole for a long time. Finally I started venturing out and trying different ways to use it.
While in Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle last month I didn’t really see avocado on a lot of menus. While we were doing our food tour in Seattle (Savor Seattle Walking Food Tour) and walking up and down those VERY steep streets our guide, Samatha (she was great), asked if we could swim in a sea of food what would our favorite food be; I said guacamole and everyone (including a family from Germany) said ohhhh yeahhhhh!
We have done three food tours now and this one is the first where everyone had headphones to wear. They were great because as we hiked up and down all those steep streets getting to our next destination, everyone could hear Samatha over all the street traffic; and once we got to the location we didn’t need them as either one of the chefs or restaurant managers would explain to us about their restaurant and the foods we were eating.
2. Mash one up as part of the fat for your deviled eggs.
3. Put some in a breakfast burrito.
4. Mix with some shrimp and bloody Mary mix and add whatever else you want for a great salsa.
5. Use it for a vessel for tuna or chicken salad.
8. Put it on a sandwich of course and on a BLT it’s the best.
9. Chunk some up in your ranch dressing.
10. Try it on a bacon grilled cheese and make that sandwich with some Jalapeño cornbread then put it in a panini.
12. Add some mashed avocado to mayonnaise for a sandwich spread.
13. Grill it, broil it, bake it.
14. Add it to your hummus.
So for a start, try my fried avocado with spicy dipping sauce and then maybe next week add them to something else.
Note: I have probably said this before but after you peel an avocado either run it under | [

BLAST FROM THE PAST: These little Avocado Bacon Canapes are just the perfect little sandwich to go with your afternoon tea.
Feel free to add any other ingredients you may like.
Mix all the sauce ingredients together and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Set up your breading station with flour, beaten egg with a little milk and your breadcrumbs.
Toss the sliced avocado into the flour to coat.
Put in egg mixture and turn to make sure slices are thoroughly wet with the egg.
Put slices into the breadcrumbs and turn to cover.
Peel the avocado and slice into 3/4" strips. Dip in cold water for a few seconds and then blot dry with paper towels.
Put the flour in a flat dish and also the bread crumbs in a flat dish. Beat the egg and put in a small bowl.
Heat oil to about 350-375° in a heavy skillet.
Dip each avocado strip first in the flour, then in the egg to coat and then roll in the bread crumbs. Continue until you have coated all avocado pieces. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain and serve with the Spicy Dipping Sauce.
For the Spicy Dipping Sauce mix all ingredients and whisk until combined. Chill until ready to serve. | [

10,001,354 | China Automotive Systems reported fourth quarter results on Tuesday March 25 and reported sound results.
China Automotive Systems came in with revenue of 37.71 million and earnings per diluted share of 0.09. Revenue for the quarter was up 36% year over year and up 21% sequentially. EPS was up from 0.06 last year but was down from the prior two quarters. The company said EPS in the fourth quarter was hurt by higher R&D and SG&A expenses. For the full year diluted EPS improved 76% to 0.37 from 0.21 last year.
The Federal Reserve has pandered to Wall Street demands and drastically cut interest rates this year. The Fed has also used Depression Era rules to lend directly to investment banks. Now there is talk that the Fed may start to buy mortgage backed securities that other banks don’t want to touch. I feel the Fed has already gone too and if the Fed takes this measure it will send a terrible message.
Financial companies got themselves in this mess by extending way too much credit for their own greed. In addition these companies lent out money without much concern for the credit worthiness of the applicant. Now these loans are turning sour as delinquencies and foreclosures are climbing. Instead of letting financial companies pay for their actions, the Fed has been bailing them out with taxpayer money. This is simply unacceptable.
First, the average hard working taxpayer shouldn’t have to pay for the greed and stupidity of financial companies. These companies own actions left them overextended with bad investments and it shouldn’t fall on the regular person to pay for that.
Second, if the Fed bails these companies out what will prevent financial companies from making the same bad decisions in the future? There will be no deterrent. The message that the Fed is sending is that financial companies can profit from excess risk when times are going good and not have to pay the consequences when times go bad. This is an egregious message to send.
Financial companies have seen severe declines over the past year and they still have the potential to go down a lot further. The reason financial companies are on such shaky ground is because the risk of rising foreclosures and loan defaults has resulted in a really severe credit crisis. For those of you who don’t understand the current credit fiasco I will try to explain it and show why financial companies still present good shorting opportunities.

10,001,355 | that the stock market surged on the Fed cut just like I predicted and also sold off quickly just like I predicted. If you bought financials yesterday I hope you sold the news and got out quickly. If you did play the short term volatility I would recommend that you take new short positions in financials again. Now I’ll go back to the credit fiasco.
Bank of America is down moderately since my initial short recommendation and I think now would be a good time to cover and take the gain off the table. I still think financial companies are going to see further weakness but they will most likely rally tomorrow when the Fed cuts interest rates. If the Fed cuts by a point, which I have a feeling is going to happen, financials could get a significant short term boost. Instead of holding through the volatility I think it would be wise just to cover.
If you shorted Bank of America when I gave my recommendation you are sitting on a 9.5% gain in just a couple of weeks. That is not an insignificant gain considering the short amount of time it took to obtain it. You could have made an even better gain shorting other financial companies when I gave my recommendation. If you shorted Bear Sterns (BSC) you would be sitting on a huge gain.
If you are a very short term trader and like to trade in and out of stocks it may be wise to consider buying financial stocks tomorrow, especially if the Fed cuts by a point. If financials rally tomorrow I would trade the news but get out quickly.
Disclaimer: I have no position in BAC, BSC, or any other financial company.
Should the Fed Continue to Drastically Cut Interest Rates?
Wall Street pundits are saying the Fed should lower interest rates by a full point at its next meeting. I think such a rash decision would be unwise and the Fed should actually think about keeping interest rates the same or lowering interest rates by a more modest amount, 0.50 at the most.
It seems the Fed has been focusing more on the stock market than the economy. Earlier this year global markets had a huge selloff when the U.S. market was closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Fed reacted by unexpectedly cutting interest rates by 0.75 percentage points the next day. It was later revealed that the selloff was caused by forced selling by Société Générale as it wound down trades related to its rogue trader J | [

Posted in Commentary | Comments Off on Should the Fed Continue to Drastically Cut Interest Rates?
The prices of palladium and platinum recently spiked to all time highs due to power disturbances that resulted in rolling blackouts in South Africa. Speculators seized on this news to bid up palladium and platinum prices to ridiculous levels.
The stock prices of North American Palladium (PAL) and Stillwater Mining Co. (SWC) spiked in tandem with palladium and platinum prices and both companies present good shorting opportunities.
The stock price of PAL more than doubled earlier this year and SWC tripled. Obviously, speculators sent these stocks up to unsustainable prices and I think they will quickly drop back down.
The price of palladium has been dropping quickly and I expect platinum to drop quite a bit from its record levels. The concern over supply due to power distruptions in South Africa has eased and the momentum has dried up. I expect the stock prices of both of these companies to see significant declines.
You can pick either stock to short but I am going to give a recommendation to short SWC at today’s closing price.
Disclaimer: I have no position in PAL or SWC.
I have referred to “greater fools” and the term “hope a dope” a couple of times and the company Converted Organics (COIN) is a perfect example of what I was talking about.
I came across Converted Organics on a day trading stock blog a few weeks ago and I have been following the stock out of curiosity. The stock price of Converted Organics has risen from around two dollars to the current price of $16.59 in the past half year. I am not sure what initially caused the stock price to surge but the stock price has continued to go up on sheer speculation.
A few months ago I wrote a post about a relatively risk free 14% return you could get in Covad Communications. Covad Communications is being acquired by Platinum Equity in an all cash deal at $1.02 a share and the stock price of Covad Communications was only $0.88 at the time.

10,001,357 | . The housing market is no where close to finding a bottom, the economy and job growth are slowing, and gasoline prices are projected to hit all time highs this summer. All of these things are going to bode ill for financial companies in the form of increasing foreclosures and overdue credit card and loan payments. Consequently, I think it is a good time to short financial companies.
The stock market has become very volatile and irrational over the last year. I contribute some of this volatility to the uncertain economic climate. However, in my opinion a big cause of the huge price swings in the market is the tremendous growth of hedge funds and their need to generate short term returns.
Hedge funds make most of their money by being able to generate positive returns (they take a big percentage of the gains they make: 20 percent or more). The investors who accept these large fees expect hedge funds to deliver gains regardless of what the market is doing. Consequently, this puts a lot of pressure on hedge funds to outperform the market. | [

10,001,358 | You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘operational analytics’ tag.
In our benchmark research on business technology innovation, organizations ranked analytics the number-one priority (for 39%) among six technology trends. Big data, perhaps because it is a more technical concept, ranked fifth, with 11 percent of organizations calling it a top innovation priority. But in this time of global business, nonstop communications and fierce competition, more organizations are finding that big data and analytics together can help them cope with constant change. They can help organizations face imperatives such as increasing time-to-value and becoming more agile and adaptive.
Using them properly can increase the potential for competitive advantage in business in various ways. For example, customer analytics, on which we have conducted benchmark research, is changing with access to new sources of information. In telecommunications, for instance, call detail records, which contain enormous amounts of data, are being sifted and combined with customer records to determine things such as quality of service at the individual level. These sources can be combined with various others to help determine a customer’s value and propensity to churn. Machine learning can then be applied to figure out the best action to prevent churn at a cost commensurate with the value of the customer. Attribution modeling is changing as well with big data, especially since online tracking is no longer dominated by cookies and users need to join online and offline channels. Human capital analytics, on which we recently released new benchmark research, is a hot area as well. It includes analytics in the area of talent management, which is concerned with salaried (rather than hourly) employees and hard-to-find skill sets. It focuses on things like recruitment, career paths, retention and the entire employment life cycle (often beyond a single organization). Human capital analytics also includes workforce management, which uses big data and analytics to optimize scheduling and resource allocation and to match skills to particular tasks. Another area, operational analytics, often focuses on efficiency and can have a great impact on customer service through improvements in delivery times, system responsiveness or predicting outages before they occur. In the area of governance, risk and compliance, things such as fraud detection and system and network management, cybersecurity and portfolio risk all can be addressed using some form of big data and analytics.
New information and new technology are impacting almost every industry and every function, but in different ways and at different speeds. For instance, healthcare and banking are driven more than others by | [

Retail is facing a great deal of discontinuity as e-commerce, and in particular Amazon, have forced established retailers to completely rethink their strategies.
This discussion is not complete without addressing the impact of big data and analytics on organizations’ people, processes and culture, which is a particular topic of my current research. We are seeing in all our research more empowerment of business users and business analysts. This is being driven by a number of internal factors such as industry competition but also by the ability of business users to rent applications from the cloud without incurring significant capital expenses and being dependent on their IT groups. Until recently IT chose new tools and provisioned a company standard, but that is less true today. From an information and insights perspective, now the power lies with who owns the analytic agenda rather than the technology agenda, and the analytic agenda is owned by those with the most business savvy. At the same time, we see a people challenge, which according to our big data benchmark research, manifests in the top two challenges to big data analytics: staffing (for 79% of organizations) and training (for 77%). Organizations have trouble finding qualified professionals to manage big data and providing training to those already on board. The finance department and other numbers-oriented functions, which have much of the analytic talent, are starting to exert influence in less analytically savvy parts of the organization such as human resources and marketing. Since having a complete view of the customer is vital today, the marketing organization is a candidate for big data initiatives, but only if the team is analytically savvy and can take advantage of new sources of information and new technologies. Otherwise, Finance or IT will ultimately lead the new analytic efforts of the organization.
There is an interesting dynamic occurring here. Finance and IT are natural allies in that both are numbers- and tools-oriented. Since the 1990s they have led adoption and use of enterprise technologies such as ERP and business intelligence. The marketing department has had a different orientation, but the strength of marketing is its ability to produce top-line revenue by understanding and influencing the customer. I expect that when these forces come together and cross-pollinate the organization, we will start to see a real transformation in 21st century business.
As with many other trends, in their enthusiasm people offer big data as the answer to every question | [

10,001,360 | . I heard a great one-liner the other day: “If you are a bartender running low on gin, there’s no need to worry about big data.” I like this because it refocuses the discussion to look first at the business problems organizations are trying to solve and the data later. I’ve written a few pieces trying to add some structure to how to think about big data analytics such as four pillars of big data analytics and moving from the technologically oriented big data Vs to the business focused Ws. As well my colleague Mark Smith has written about four types of discovery technology, an area that is critical to exploring the data that is becoming so abundant. Hopefully, these frameworks and approaches can help companies think through the challenges around big data and analytics and the transformation that ensues. | [

10,001,363 | Still time to register today for this month’s Professional Development Meeting that features an overview of the latest APICS learning system, certifications, and education opportunities, a dinner buffet, and a technical session described below. You can also register at the door.
This month’s technical session deals with transforming the performance of your Enterprise Resource Planning investment. This is not a sales pitch for any vendor, but rather this is the APICS Greater Fort Worth Chapter reaching out to practitioners to find ways in which we can professionally develop local talent to make the most competitive impact on the renaissance of manufacturing and supply chain logistics in our region.
Prior to our technical session, there will be an APICS overview question and answer session for persons wishing to learn more about APICS.
The speaker at this Professional Development Seminar will be Dr. Jonathan Wilson. Dr. Wilson has a PhD in Strategic Management, a Masters in Global Logistics Supply Chain Management, a Masters in Business Administration and is a professionally qualified Management Accountant. In addition to Dr. Wilson’s academic credentials, Dr. Wilson has substantial experience in the implementation of world-class supply chains. He has lead manufacturing and supply chain projects in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Dr. Wilson takes an analytical approach to understanding the root causes of underperforming sales, costs and assets before designing strategically targeted manufacturing and supply chain solutions. This approach has produced substantial market and cost benefits and has been demonstrated to work effectively in a variety of industries.
Using this strategic approach to supply chain and operations management, Dr. Wilson’s talk will outline an essential, but often overlooked, front end process that focuses the implementation and operation of ERP on new wealth creation. This strategic front end process will be illustrated through a case study of the transformation of a European supply chain in the automotive industry.
Look forward to meeting you on the 18th! | [

10,001,368 | Andersons Angels: DK Books! Giving Thanks Spotlight!
One thing that I love is books about nutrition and health. I love reading and learning about ways that I can easily make my family healthier. I also love adding new books to my kids library and I must say they have a lot of books. But I do not feel that having to many books is a bad thing for kids. Recently I received to great books from DK Books to add to my collection and the kids.
I received the Complete Family Nutrition book along with the Frozen 'The Essential Collection. I am so excited about the Complete Family Nutrition book because it has sections about ways to boost energy, balanced diets, healthy weight and much more. This book has so many different hidden jewels I like to call them throughout the book.
If you have a little girl then I am sure she is just as in love with the movie Frozen as Sweet Pea is. I can not wait to give her Frozen "The Essential Collection for Christmas. Sweet Pea is a big fan of Anna and loves anything that has to do with Anna.
A Sing-Along Clip from "Let It Go"
DK Books has a wide variety of different books to choose from. Like books for adults, children and eye witness travel guides. If you have a book lover in your home or maybe someone who is passionate about a certain subject I am sure you can find a book for it at DK Books.
DK Publishing has such a great variety of books for the entire family. I've noticed many of the books on our bookshelves are published by them. I enjoy reading nutrition books and collect recipe books. My son, Liam, is a HUGE Frozen fan and would definitely get a kick out of this book and all the extras that come with it. Santa might have to bring this for him. Thanks for sharing!
DK Publishing has books that last through generations. My boys are older and I have book from then they were little! Yes, I kept them. I never thought about ones geared towards adults!
We have a lot of books from DK Publishing as well. They have great books. I have so many books they are starting to take over!
Wow that Frozen book would be a HUGE hit with my girls!! | [

10,001,369 | Should You Use Energy Drinks?
There is no denying that energy drinks are popular – Americans consume nearly $8 billion dollars of Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster and related beverages every year. Numerous media reports have called energy drinks “useless” to “dangerous” (including the popular Dr. Oz Show, on which I’ve appeared as a guest and which I consult with from time to time on segments related to dietary supplements).
Although most energy drinks are little more than flavored caffeine/sugar concoctions, some products are striking out in new directions to deliver the energy boost that tired consumers are craving without the sugary side effects. As a nutritionist, I’m often conflicted when I’m asked if energy drinks are “safe” for kids (they are – if you choose intelligently) or whether they’re “healthy” to consume on a daily basis (most are certainly not, but some newer options are coming close).
All of the mainstream energy drinks deliver 3-4 grams of sugar per ounce – so for drinks ranging from 8 to 20 ounces, you’re looking at a massive dose of 25-80 grams of sugar. Your typical 12-ounce Coke packs 39 grams of sugar per can (almost 10 teaspoons of sugar and 160 calories). The sugar-free versions aren’t much better because you’re trading your sugar rush for a range of artificial sweeteners that often can only trick your brain and taste buds temporarily (you’re appetite is likely to increase significantly in the evening after having consumed an artificially-sweetened beverage earlier in the day – so you end up consuming those “missing” sugar calories later anyway – more on this delayed appetite effect of artificial sweeteners in a future blog).
Palatinose is a brand name of isomaltulose – a unique natural sugar that is absorbed about 50% slower than regular sugar (sucrose). This makes isomaltulose a “low glycemic” type of sugar that is less likely to result in the “spikes” of blood glucose that are common with traditional energy drinks. Isomaltulose is a form of sucrose (cane sugar) that has been naturally fermented in a way that slows its rate of absorption (which is good for energy levels, brain function, and fat-burning). For example, consuming an energy drink sweet | [

10,001,370 | ened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup is likely to result in a fast rise in blood glucose (and a resulting spike in energy levels and rapid drop in fat-burning), but is also likely to result (about 90 minutes later) in a fast drop in blood glucose levels and a corresponding fall in mental and physical energy levels.
Most mainstream soft drinks and energy drinks use synthetic caffeine added at 50-200mg per can to their high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors – not a very appetizing brew (5-Hour Energy has 207mg, Red Bull has 80mg, Coke has 35mg, and a typical coffee has 100mg). This level of caffeine has been shown to improve subjective feelings of physical energy, mental focus, and reaction time, alertness, and overall cognitive performance. A handful of studies have also demonstrated an improvement in energy expenditure (burning more calories) as well as improved physical performance in both sprint and endurance events.
Clearly, there is a short-term benefit of energy drinks on various aspects of mental and physical performance – but what about the long-term health effects? It’s obvious that high doses of sugar are detrimental to health in myriad ways from insulin overload to outright addiction. Caffeine overdoses are associated with elevated stress responses, higher blood pressure and heart rate, exacerbated hyperglycemia, tension, and insomnia.
As a physiologist, nutritionist, and endurance athlete, I don’t want anyone to be over-consuming either sugar or caffeine, and when they (myself include) DO consume energy drinks, I’d prefer the sugars to have a lower glycemic index (such as Palatinose) and the caffeine to come from natural sources (which can be “slower” forms of caffeine in several ways). Plants such as Green Tea Leaves, Coffee Beans, Guarana Seeds, Maca Roots, Cha de Burge Fruits, Yerba Mate Leaves, and Kola Nuts are all rich sources of natural caffeine that tend to be absorbed into the blood stream more slowly than synthetic caffeine. The combination of natural caffeine plus lower-glycemic sugars results in a more sustained, longer lasting, and less “jittery” form of energy – without the common up/down spikes that come from many mainstream energy drinks.
At the more “premium” end of the energy drink spectrum (not the stuff you buy at the gas station), it’ | [

10,001,371 | s becoming more common to see exotic energy boosters such as Panax ginseng (very effective for mental/physical energy, but also very expensive) and stamina/endurance enhancers such as Ribose (great for cardiovascular and muscular energy), as well as amino acids such as Taurine (to increase blood flow) and Tyrosine (for mental focus). Unfortunately, these exotic ingredients are often added to many energy drinks in tiny “pixie dust” amounts (too little to be effective) – so don’t put too much faith in a long list of exotic ingredients unless the actual product has undergone some level of scientific validation of its energy boosting claims.
The bottom line when it comes to energy drinks is to look for some of the “healthier” options that are coming to market – those with “slower” types of both sugar and natural caffeine, perhaps combined with meaningful levels of exotics such as panax ginseng, ribose, and tyrosine – for a more sustained increase in whole-body energy levels and improvement in mental focus.

10,001,373 | Pedestrians walked around the fountain on the Christian Science Plaza Tuesday as temperatures climbed into the 80s.
After a record-smashing snowy winter, the Boston area has settled into a spring of sun-baked lawns and slow-growing crops. According to the National Weather Service, the region is in the midst of what could be the driest May since 1944.
Only 0.31 inches of precipitation have fallen so far this month, less than a 10th of the average. This will be the second-driest May on record if no rain falls before Monday.
This month’s weather — also about 3 degrees warmer than average — has exacerbated an already dry period, leaving the region in a period of moderate drought.
Meteorologists say a steady storm lasting a day or two and dropping at least an inch of rainfall could help bring the area out of the drought.
Right now, there’s a chance this type of rain could fall from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, said meteorologist Kim Buttrick at the National Weather Service’s Taunton office.
The other spring months of March and April were also drier than normal, the National Weather Service data show. To date, this spring’s rainfall total is the eighth lowest since recordkeeping began in 1872.
Hayden Frank, who is also a weather service meteorologist in Taunton, said the moderate drought is not a cause for grave concern. Other regions, like California, are facing much worse dearths of rainfall.
“It’s not something that happens every year, but a moderate drought does occur here from time to time,” said Frank.
The Boston area did not see the nor’easter rainfall it usually gets in the early spring, said Frank.
Usually, Southern New England sees between 3.5 and 4.5 inches of precipitation a month, said Frank. May, June, July, and September tend to be slightly drier than the other months, but the rainfall averages are pretty steady throughout the year.
Despite this, the Boston area has seen varied rainfall totals in the last 143 years, and even a one-100th of an inch of rain could move this May to the third-driest spot in the record books.
How much rain falls in May in the Boston area? | [

10,001,375 | Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remains at 2.7 percent in June. The state’s jobless rate was 3.2 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate increased to 4.0 percent in June.
"We are running out of superlatives to describe the low unemployment in Iowa," said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development Director. "Low unemployment combined with the 3,400 additional jobs created in June, translates to employers struggling to find a qualified, available workforce. The good news is that Iowa continues with strong efforts to increase the number of skilled workers in Iowa through programs like Future Ready Iowa, STEM, Home Base Iowa and apprenticeship programs, both registered and industry recognized. All our partners are at the table and working hard to support growth of the workforce including education, economic developers, business and industry and nonprofits. We must continue and expand these efforts to ensure that our workforce growth keeps pace with our economic growth."
The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 44,900 in June from 46,000 in May. The current estimate is 8,200 lower than the year ago level of 53,100.
The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,635,000 in June. This figure was 5,100 higher than May and 7,900 higher than one year ago.
In June, Iowa establishments added 3,400 jobs. Whereas private industry gained 500 jobs, government was responsible for 2,900 jobs added. The majority of these hires were at the local level. The gain was due to a larger than expected seasonal expansion in local areas adding public staff for summer activities. Government has now risen 1,600 jobs above last year’s mark, while the state combined now rests up 15,900 jobs beyond last June. This month’s increase is the second-consecutive gain and the fourth overall monthly expansion for 2018.
Construction added jobs for the fifth consecutive month in June (+900) and has more than rebounded following a downturn last year. With this gain, construction has now added 4,900 jobs since January. Fueled by gains in healthcare, the education, healthcare and social assistance super sector again trended up this month. This is the second straight gain following unexpected losses in March and April. The only other notable gain this month occurred in manufacturing (+300) with all of the increase stemming from nondurable goods factories, specifically food manufacturers. On the other hand | [

10,001,376 | , losses this month were heaviest within professional and business services (-600). The biggest drop came from administrative support and waste management services and was related to unexpected declines for firms involved with staffing and cleaning services. In the wake of the recent flooding in Iowa, these sectors may see a spike in the July estimates for these industries. All other losses were small this month and included trade and transportation, financial activities, and other services.
Manufacturing continues to lead all sectors with 9,800 jobs added over the past twelve months. Durable goods factories leads its nondurable goods counterpart in terms of jobs with 7,200 added versus 2,600 in nondurable goods factories. Two of the largest segments of manufacturing, food manufacturing and machinery manufacturing, have both fared well during that span. The professional and business services sector experienced a slight loss this month but is up 2,600 jobs due to growth in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector. Finance also remains markedly up despite small losses in each of the last two months. Losses have been limited to other services, trade and transportation, and education and health services.

No place in Italy has such a wide horizon to stare at, nor such a depth of feeling. A site only for strong men and for free spirits... Here, in this wilderness, I am the first one who will build a house."
Few modern buildings embody antique beauty and mythical magic like Casa Malaparte, designed by the controversial Italian journalist, poet and novelist Curzio Malaparte in 1937 as a home for himself. Karl Lagerfeld visited the site for five days in November 1997 and took a series of Polaroids, which were subsequently transferred to Arches mold-made paper and published in book form by Steidl in 1998. This sought-after classic is finally available again in a new edition. | [

10,001,386 | Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to or instead its notional and semantic content.
Poetry can be differentiated most of the from prose which is language meant to convey in a more expansive and less condensed frequently using more complete logical or narrative than poetry does.
In pre-literate societies poetry was frequently as a means of recording oral history storytelling (epic poetry) genealogy law and other forms of expression or that modern societies might expect to be in prose.
Narrative poetry presents a story or account of events, and must therefore encompass the novel's requirements.
Narrative poems allow their author to speak with borrowed voice and viewpoint useful for dealing with painful or novel experiences but, more importantly, open up new techniques to the poet.
Narratives impose a structure on events, and are therefore repressive.
I told her that literary criticism was not to criticize anothers narrative, but to analyze why they told the story, how they told it, and then decide if it was told effectively or not.
Of course, all poetry tells some sort of story or another, but not all poetry is considered narrative poetry.
Narrative poetry is generally longer in length and follows a bit closer to the established rules of syntax and language.
When studying poetry, it is useful first of all to consider the theme and the overall development of the theme in the poem.
Lyric poetry retains some of the elements of song which is said to be its origin: For Greek writers the lyric was a song accompanied by the lyre.
Narrative poetry gives a verbal representation, in verse, of a sequence of connected events, it propels characters through a plot.
The program is called Poetry 180 and offers a poem for every day of the approximately 180-day school year.
The hope is that poetry will become a part of the daily life of students in addition to being a subject that is part of the school curriculum.
Because the poems are protected by copyright law, use of the poems beyond what is contemplated by Poetry 180 (for example, making additional copies and distributing them outside the school environment, or recording someone reading the poems and then distributing the tapes) may require the written permission of the copyright owner.

The audience for poetry is used to a more intensely written text, with greater compression, a higher degree of dreamlike improvisation, radical juxtaposition and collage--and, dare I say it, the expressive support of meter and lineation.
Another way of putting it is that narrative subjects sometimes generate startling lines that neither lyric nor prose fiction would have wrung out of the writer.
Narrative poetry is among the oldest, and perhaps the oldest, genre of poetry.
Much of narrative poetry is performance poetry and has its source in an oral tradition: the Scots and English ballads, the tales of Robin Hood, of Iskandar, and various Baltic and Slavic heroic poems all were originally intended for recitation, rather than reading.
In terms of narrative poetry, a romance is a narrative poem that tells a story of chivalry.
Narrative is one of the keys to writing good poems.
A lot of shorter poems, from haiku to sonnets to blank verse meditations, have some kind of story or scene connected with them, and though narrative in poetry may be compressed, it still depends on action, incident, and detail.
We'll also focus on the way narrative works—or can be made to work-- in poems by participants.
Poetry verse is set out in short lines with words put together in rhythm or rhyme or both.
Poetry began in prehistoric times when people passed down their oral history in poetic language and song.
As a form of poetry, tanka is older than haiku, and tanka poems evoke a moment or mark an occasion with concision and musicality.
I wanted to remind them that the narrative poem takes the place of an absent narrative and is always absorbing the other's absence so it can be named, and, at the same time, relinquishing its own presence to the awful solitudes of forgetfulness.
I told her I was working on a negative narrative, one that refuses to begin because beginning is meaningless in an infinite universe, and refuses to end for the same reason.
He said narrative poetry happened usually in spring and involved a man. The woman would approach her house, wave to the man, and drop her flowers.

In addition to exposing students to the sounds of contemporary poetry, Poetry 180 can also serve as a way to improve students' abilities to communicate publicly.
I am hoping that the rewards of Poetry 180 will be felt as immediately as possible and that those involved will find gratification in knowing that high school students across the country are being exposed to poetry in a unique and stimulating way.
Writing a narrative in verse gives you access to all the poetic devices of rhyme and rhythm, concentrated imagery, the richness and denseness and musicality of sound.
Fay Thomas, the heroine of Quiver, is of both Welsh and English descent and is married to a geneticist whose ancestors are Irish and Chinese.
Ballads are a particular kind of narrative, a form which evolved directly from a folk tradition and is meant to be sung.
Poetry is a community a varied and lively community, with very different views of what poetry is and should be doing.
Poetry is the workshop of language where the most original, exciting and significant work is being written.
Poetry should be inspirational, something akin to magic, and we'd like to hear from readers who've found a new dimension to its study and creation.
He doesn’t really address narrative at all, but writes instead about a few younger poets, from whom he generalizes a larger contemporary avoidance of or outright hostility to narrative, quoting and discussing some rather weak poems along the way.
The assumption seems to be that good poetry is always there, lying around, or (more accurately) that “good poetry” is whatever one says it is, so we will just take whatever women write and call it good, in order to represent them equally.
Publication is a way of bringing poetry to a larger audience, yes, but, beyond that, Poetry, as I have known it over the years, has not been much invested in the business of publicity.
We will also consider examples to demonstrate how the traditions of the narrative have been passed down even as some of the forms have been changed, by the passage of time and the constraints which the poetic devices place on the telling of a story.
The reader will examine objectively examples of narrative verse and will understand the effect of time and changing styles on the character, though not the inherent nature, of | [

Exploring Narrative Poetry: Part 1 Origins and shifting rhyme schemes: from the spoken word to the written record.
By analyzing what a speaker (or persona) in one of Frost's poems includes or omits from his narrative account, students make inferences about that speaker's motivations and character, find evidence for those inferences in the words of the poem, and apply their inferences about the speaker in a dramatic reading performed for other class members.
It is usual in the literature curriculum for grades 6 through 8 to introduce students to basic concepts of narrative (such as speaker or point-of-view) in the context of lessons on the short story or novel.
Provided with this lesson is a worksheet, "The Narrative Poetry of Robert Frost," as a downloadable PDF file.
Forché herself is an aesthetic convert from narrative poetry to a poetry of lyric-associative fragment.
Narrative, after all, and other poetries of sustained development, seduce and contain; its feature is the loss of self-consciousness; in the sequential “grip” of narrative, the reader is “swept away,” and loses not consciousness, perhaps, but self-consciousness.
A poetry which values clarity and continuity is obligated to develop and deliver information in ways that are hierarchical and sequential, ways which accommodate and orchestrate the capacities of human memory.
David Lee Garrison: "Telling It Slant: The Narrative Poetry of Jared Carter"
The purpose of poetry, or at least one purpose of it, is to tell stories, to remember the lives of this farmer and others like him, to preserve our myths.
Poetry is about the things to which we are attached in one way or another, and that is what Carter communicates so dramatically in his last line.
Yet narrative is present throughout Barricades, too, although on a different level from that of the individual poem.
Contemporary narrative poets not only have the challenge of creating lyric stories; they must also invent cogent forms and intrinsically heightened styles in which to tell them.
Such narrative poems might be described as verticalthe weight of the story rests on a focused temporal point.
The narrative material is not fussy, refined, or conventionally poetic; rather it is sprawling, ambitious, and unembarrassed by the often vulgar concerns of its characters.

10,001,390 | A narration may be either a simple narrative, in which the events are recounted chronologically, or a narrative with a plot, in which the account is given in a style reflecting the author's artistic concept of the story.
The term is also used as an adjective in the sense "method of narration." For example, in literary criticism, the expression "narrative technique" usually refers to the way the author structures and presents his or her story.
Narratives range from the shortest accounts of events, as in Julius Caesar's remark, "I came, I saw, I conquered," to the longest historical or biographical works, as in Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, as well as diaries, travelogues, novels, ballads, epics, short stories, and other fictional forms.
Narrative Poetry: Lit Glossary narrative poetry/ narrative verse a poem that tells a story narrator the person through whose voice or viewpoint the story is told.
Other forms include narrative poetry and dramatic poetry, both of which are used to tell stories and so resemble novels and plays.
narrative poetry/ narrative verse a poem that tells a story narrator the person through whose voice or viewpoint the story is told.
Now consider the fact that it is poetry, or verse.
In simple terms, you task is to write a story in verse that reflects the experience of a victim or survivor of the Holocaust.
Now remember, a narrative poem tells a story and a story has a plot: exposition, conflict, rising action, climax and resolution.
The original function of oral literature is primarily to commemorate, and its original form is a performance, an enactment by a professional poet, a minstrel or bard (in Anglo-Saxon England, a scop; in West Africa, a griot).
Each repetition of oral poetry -- out loud, in front of an audience -- recreates its subject matter, involving the listeners as if the events described were happening anew.
These oral formulaic devices, then, glued a massive narrative together, permitting feats of memory which readers in the computer age are more likely to associate with data banks than with poets.
A variety of perceptible, comfortably familiar metric schemes can be found in much of the poetry of this period.

Longfellow had a right to employ poetic license in tweaking his narrative a bit further from the truth.
Piecing together the buried or incomplete narrative of a lyric poem is nevertheless important to understanding that poem.
So we are left with a paradox: epics are narrative poems that nevertheless contain traces of song, while lyric poems are songs in which traces of narrative or story are still visible to the alert reader.
Another way of analyzing lyric poetry's unerlying narrative is through patterns derived from folk tales that can be found also in epic, drama, romance, and other literary genres, as well as poetry.
Autographs focuses on free verse poetry, and is a personal tribute to world art and literature.
A selection of poems from “Scenes and Themes in Poetry” by Edward Gavurin is presented.

Dupuytren’s disease is known to be a fairly common problem, often for men and women in their 50s and beyond, but also sometimes for children, that can cause a contraction of one or more fingers into the palm of the hand.
Scream Blue Murder is often called in to work collaboratively with agencies and consulting companies – and it was through our association with a London-based global healthcare consulting company that we were asked to create a logo and conference materials for Dupuytren’s Summit, a biannual event held in Vienna for around 2,000 delegates.
Our task was to project manage the sourcing, design and production of all conference materials for the event, finally collating, packing and shipping the delegate packs to Vienna in good time for the start of the Summit.
Working closely with the consulting company, Scream Blue Murder worked hard – as always! – as part of the overall team, to make sure that everything went smoothly. | [

10,001,396 | It is true that becoming a successful real estate agent is tough, but if you have the right guidance, then you will achieve your goals at the appropriate time. To be a success in any walk of life, you must be willing to persist and endure. If you do not bear the toils and pangs, then it is evident that you will never reach your goals. In the real estate industry, you must be willing to learn all the skills that separate the men from the boys and the best from the rest. Now, there are some things which are specific to this sector about which you must gather information and attempt to prepare yourself.
Experts suggest that if you want to become a real estate agent, then it is better to have a backup source of income. If you do not have a back source of money, then you must start saving money before you get yourself involved in real estate. The truth is that in the initial 6-12 months of your time as a real estate agent, you will find it extremely hard to get clients. If you do not get clients, then it is evident that you will not be making a lot of money. In fact, some of the most successful real estate agents were not able to make any money in the first six months of their career in the industry.
So, it will be apt to say that the real estate industry may not give you much in your initial years but with the passage of time, you may earn millions. For some people, the start can be promising followed by a couple of prolonged years. Many agents give up and hang their boots at this time, but real success comes to those who persist in the business with patience.
In the initial years, it is also essential to learn the tricks of the trade. Now, some guidebooks may help you in getting the knowledge that you need. It is also possible that some seminars or courses teach you some crucial facets of the business in a relatively short span of time. But in practice, you get most of your knowledge and build most of your skills by working with an experienced and successful real estate agent. The real estate sector is among the businesses where real skills come with time. You must work very hard to develop your talents related to marketing.
It is essential that you keep on building contact with more and more people. If you do not know enough number of people, then how will you get your clients? Some of the most successful real estate professionals are those with brilliant | [

10,001,399 | Where is Togo? Togo is in West Africa, just north of the Equator. It is east of Ghana, west of Benin, and south of Burkina Faso. For more information about Togo, click here!
Is Togo safe? Togo is about as safe as the United States! They have an active military and police force but, like anywhere else, we will need to be aware of what’s going on around us (situational awareness). We talk more about safety in Togo here, here, and here.
Are there any good hospitals near where you will live? Yes. There is a hospital run by ABWE in Mango, about two hours north of Kara, where we will be serving. People come from all over West Africa to obtain medical help in this hospital, so we are very comfortable and confident in the services they provide. In the case of extreme medical emergencies, our health insurance through ABWE provides medical evacuation/transport to Europe or America.
Will you have Internet access in Togo? Yes, but it can be spotty, like all other utilities in Togo. The middle of the night will probably be the best time for us to use the Internet, as most other people will be asleep by then!
Is there coffee in Togo? Are there coffee shops? Yes, there is coffee, and there might be some (non-American) coffee shops… we think a great business venture would be opening a roadside coffee stand like they have here in Alaska… you’d make SO much money (from us, at least).
Will you live in a hut? No. We will be living in a house or apartment near the orphan complex. We anticipate bringing most of our household goods with us from Alaska. Our home will be equipped with electricity, running water, etc.
Will you have a good source of food? Yes. There are grocery stores and a robust market in Kara that will offer most of what we need and want. The capital, Lome, has just about anything our hearts desire… except maybe snow!
Will you have to learn a new language? Yes. Two in fact: French and Kabiye. French is Togo’s official language. We will spend a year in France studying French. Once in country, we will begin learning Kabiye. Our goal is to be able to effectively share the gospel and disciple the Tog | [
