Karang Bahar snorkeling spot is located to right hand side of the beach fronting D Coconut Lagoon Resort.
Actually, there isn't much to see here. Nonetheless, the area fronting Coconut Lagoon Resort still has an average amount of marine life to see should you decide to embark for a leisure snorkel here.
The visibility wasn't that great during my trip. The water was rather shallow. For the first few metres of swimming, you will see nothing but coral rubles. Only after a while you will start to see patches of hard corals such as sea anemones, various types of acropora, table corals, false brain corals, sea cucumbers, etc.
The fish variety was also limited to the common ones, such as eight-striped butterflyfish (Chaetodon octofasciatus), bottom-dwelling banded blenny, common pacific sergeant, parrotfish, rabbitfish, etc.
Overall, the snorkeling experience here was rather average but it doesn't cost you anything should you would like to try it out, really.

Keith Laumer’s stories of autonomous, artificially intelligent war machines are still remembered fondly today.
Keith Laumer (1925-1993) holds an unusual place in the history of Science Fiction. During his life he never received the laurels that he deserved, never winning either the Hugo or Nebula. Despite this his work was popular with readers. A diplomat, he was uniquely positioned to write the Retief series with a verisimilitude that most of us could never hope to find. His military SF is also well-informed, having served in the Air Force. In the 21st century his Bolo series has found new fans as the tales of the robotic tanks have been reprinted by Baen Books and expanded upon by authors like William Keith and Eric Flint. What I wanted to do here does not include these pastiches, but looks at the original Bolo tales and in the order they were written, with the hope of gleaming some idea of the evolution the idea has taken. All Laumer’s original work appeared in The Compleat Bolo (1990). This is a nice collection because it is Laumer’s alone. Taken, along with the novel A Plague of Demons (1964) it forms the core of the Bolo canon.
“Combat Unit” (F&SF, November 1960) was the first Bolo tale, and in it we can see Laumer has begun at the end, creating much of what is to come later, meaning the Dinochrome Brigade, self-aware super-tanks, their history, methods and abilities. The story begins when a damaged tank awakens, works it way back to full consciousness. Laumer gives this process as a series of choppy improvements that allows the reader to experience the awakening as the Mark XXXIII series tank does. This arty technique, as much as the intelligence of the tank that sits waiting for rescue, while it listens to classical music, studies stars and contemplates the meaning of life and death, explains why this story appeared in Fantasy & Science Fiction. It’s not an action story so much as the tale of a survivor and the success of his positive mind-set.
“Courier” (aka “The Frozen Planet”) (IF, September 1961) ties the Bolo series to Laumer’s most famous creation, Retief, the galactic agent. The Bolo has only a brief cameo when Retief makes his way to the frozen planet of Jorgenson’s World. He must warn the mind-reading Scandinavian descendants of an incoming invasion by the Soetti. Retief and his companion Chip are threatened by a “… a Bolo Resartus, Model M. Built mebbe two hundred years ago in Concordiat times” which they disable by hacking its controls. Bolo production ended at the time of “Combat Unit”, with the Mark XXXIII being the last of the super-tanks. Ultimately, the Soetti are turned aside and the Bolo’s appearance is noteworthy but not of any real importance.
Night of the Trolls
“Night of the Trolls” (Worlds of Tomorrow, October 1963) is Laumer’s major opus of Bolos, with the timeline returning closer to the beginning. Laumer never really ever shows us the early days of the Bolos, but prefers the days after their glory. After a holocaust, Jackson, a scientist and Bolo technician, wakes up from hyb-sleep to find his world replaced by death and barbarism. He quickly learns that a “Baron” has taken charge, with armed soldiers combing the ruins for wealth and survivors to enslave or kill. This man turns out to be Jackson’s old colleague Mallon, now eighty years older. Two Bolos are in the mix, with each guarding a different location, a Mark I protects the underground complex where Jackson wakes and the Mark III protects a spaceship, Prometheus, filled with sleeping voyagers. Playing a dangerous game with the power-hungry Mallon, Jackson disarms the Mark III Bolo but lays a trap of his own. Jackson escapes to the Mark I and lures Mallon and the Mark III into an empty missile silo. Despite the Mark I being older, more inferior tech, and having no missile to fire, Jackson wins out. A tank trap is a tank trap, even in the near future. Both the Mark I and III are not self-aware but able to be programmed to do certain tasks such as perimeter duty.
Laumer shows his best talents in this story, making the action exciting but also plucking at our heart strings with the character of the old man who saves Jackson twice, and firing our sense of revenge with the insidious Mallon. By setting one model of Bolo against another we learn much about their respective abilities and weaknesses. Laumer would expand this story (padded really) into the novel The Stars Must Wait (1990) but changes the ending to a less satisfying conclusion.

The governing NPP will start vetting its aspiring parliamentary candidates in the Northern and Eastern regions from today, Wednesday March 4.
In two separate releases, the regional secretaries of the two regions outlined the times and dates for the prospective aspirants are to appear for the exercise.
Alhaj Sibdow Alhassan Yakubu, the Northern Regional secretary, said in a release that the party will use two days, March 4 and 5, for the vetting.
The statement said all 11 aspirants from Bimbila, Savelugu, Tolon, Wulensi and Nanton constituencies will be vetted today, while the remaining 11 from Kpandai, Yendi, Gushegu and Saboba constituencies will be vetted tomorrow.
In all, 22 aspirants are contesting for the nine available slots.

Mr Nitiwul, Mr Nyindam and MP for Savelugu, Mohammed Somed Gunu, are unopposed.
“APCs must note that aside from the members of the constituency elections committee (CEC) and constituency executives and their personal aides, no other persons shall be allowed in the vetting room. APCs are further cautioned to restrain the behaviour of their supporters for a smooth and incident-free vetting process,” the statement said.
In the Eastern Region, a statement from the regional secretary, Jeff Konadu Addo, indicated that the party will use three days for the exercise. Starting today, March 4, the party will break for the 6th March Independence Day celebration and end the exercise on Saturday March 7.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 4): The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) is looking into introducing a special law to address contempt of court cases, which have been on the rise recently, especially on social media.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan (pictured) said the AGC has been looking into this matter since 2010, with a draft completed in 2013.
However, there was an amendment made to the Sedition Act which involves contempt of court, the minister said, and therefore the matter is being looked into again to ensure it is in line with the amendment.
Datuk Liew Vui Keong (Warisan-Batu Sapi) had pointed out that criticising the courts seems to be "a new norm under the Perikatan Nasional government", highlighting that many have gone to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with the legal process.
"Currently, there is no special law to address contempt of court, so this is dealt under existing powers. These cases are also addressed based on common law principles," said Takiyuddin, in response to Liew's question.

NIH begins adaptive phase 3 trial to test immune modulators for treatment of COVID-19October 21, 2020 0 By FM
The National Institutes of Health has launched an adaptive phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three immune modulator drugs to help with cytokine storm in hospitalised adults with COVID-19.
Cytokine storm is an immune reaction that is seen in some COVID-19 patients where their immune system unleashes excessive amounts of proteins that trigger inflammation that can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure and other life-threatening complications.
The trial, known as ACTIV-1 Immune Modulators (IM), aims to determine if modulating the immune reaction that leads to cytokine storm can reduce the need for ventilators and shorten hospital stays. The study will evaluate if the therapeutics are able to restore balance to an overactive immune system.
The ACTIV-1 IM trial is a part of the Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) initiative. The National Institute of Health (NIH) announced the ACTIV initiative in April 2020 to develop a national research response to prioritise and speed the development of the most promising COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
The ACTIV-1 IM expects to enrol approximately 2,100 hospitalised adults with moderate to severe COVID-19 at medical facilities in the United States and Latin America.
“This is the fifth master protocol to be launched under the ACTIV partnership in an unprecedented timeframe, and focuses efforts on therapies that hold the greatest promise for treating COVID-19,” said NIH Director Francis S Collins, MD, PhD. “Immune modulators provide another treatment modality in the ACTIV therapeutic toolkit to help manage the complex, multi-system conditions that can be caused by this very serious disease,” he added.
Adaptive master protocols allow coordinated and efficient evaluation of multiple investigational agents as they become available. This enables maximum flexibility to swiftly weed out drugs that do not demonstrate effectiveness, identify those that do in a short time frame and rapidly incorporate additional experimental agents into the trial, said the researchers.
The team selected three IM agents for the study including infliximab (Remicade, Janssen); abatacept (Orencia, Bristol Myers Squibb) and cenicriviroc (Cvc, AbbVie).
All participants in the trial will receive remdesivir, as the current standard of care treatment of hospitalised patients with COVID-19. Convalescent plasma and dexamethasone will be allowed at the discretion of the site investigator and in accordance with national guidelines. They will be randomly assigned to receive a placebo or one of the immune modulators as an add-on treatment. The trial will study the different combination treatment regimens with respect to illness severity, recovery speed, mortality and hospital resource utilisation. The enrollment is now open, and the trial is expected to last approximately six months.

In compliance with the requirements for public comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility, (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Hospital Available Beds for Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) System: (NEW)
The HAvBED system will be a web-based hospital bed reporting/tracking system to assist the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) only during disasters and public health emergencies. HAvBED does not duplicate the systems already in place to track hospital beds. It is designed to dynamically amalgamate data and accept manually entered data to give emergency operations managers a real-time view of specific hospital bed availability on a large geographic scale. During a disaster or public health emergency States will be asked to report hospital bed availability no more than twice daily; although the severity of the event may require less or more reporting per day.
Currently, hospital bed tracking systems are operational in some States to meet the needs of the healthcare system during routine operations. Local and State governments, emergency management agencies and the healthcare systems have developed systems that support jurisdictional emergency operations without regard to cooperation with outside systems or entities. Local systems have been developed over time to meet the changing needs at the local level. The systems have been developed locally to meet the needs of the local healthcare system. A mass casualty event would overwhelm the ability of local systems to work out their differences in the middle of a response.
During a disaster or public health emergency it may be necessary for Federal officials to work with State partners to evacuate or move patients from one area of the country to another as was the case during hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The health and safety of the hospital patient is paramount at all times during a hospital stay, but never more acute while being moved to another location. To ensure that patients receive the highest level of care during an emergency it is necessary to know where the necessary resources are in real-time.
The estimate of burden is based on hospitals reporting the data twice a day everyday for two weeks. Start Printed Page 34142
|Submission type||Number of respondents||Responses per respondent||Total responses||Hours per response||Total burden hours|
|* Based on 2 responses per day for a period of 14 days.|
If a mass casualty event occurred and hundreds of hospital patients or victims needed hospital care across the country, it is possible that hundreds of hospitals would be needed to house the wounded. In that case the burden estimate would increase proportionally to the needs of the event.
Send comments to Susan G. Queen, Ph.D., HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, Room 10-33, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.Start Signature

A technician with an advanced scan tool can verify the issue. The mirror system is complex and involves many modules. The Body Control Module is a possible cause, but it’s doubtful; replacement requires reprogramming, which requires special equipment. I would check the driver’s and passenger’s door modules; toggle or move the switch on the driver’s side to see if it causes the problem, and ensure that the mirror glass itself is not loose on the passenger’s side mirror assembly.

If you like roasted cauliflower, you’ll probably like this Tahini-slathered version of it. You can also use this as a base recipe to flavor the cauliflower with shawarma seasoning, kofta kabab seasoning, or garam masala to add a few different flavors to your cauliflower and within just a few minutes, voila! Air Fried Cauliflower with Tahini!
Whether you need a vegetable side dish, a healthy snack, or just a way to use up the cauliflower you have in your fridge, this Air Fried Cauliflower is the perfect recipe. Cauliflower absorbs whatever seasoning is around it, so this is a great way to incorporate your favorite seasoning blends into a side dish to compliment your entree.
Cauliflower is also a great low-carb food that’s used a lot for Keto, so I seem to always have it on hand. Everything tastes better slathered in Tahini, so you’re going to love this Air Fried Cauliflower as much as I did, I’m sure.
Look at this as a great base recipe that you can use to make all kinds of other air fried cauliflower flavors. One thing that really helps when air frying cauliflower, I have found, is to not skimp on the oil. I know, I know, we all bought the air fryer so as to not have to fry–and you won’t by any means be using enough oil to deep fry this sucker. But dry vegetables really do benefit from a good spraying of oil.
Need some more vegetable side dishes? I have a ton of great recipes! Check them out HERE!
EQUIPMENT YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE THIS KETO AIR FRYER ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH TAHINI:
- Gowise Air Fryer or Philips Avance XL or Breville Smart Oven Air
- Meat Thermometer. Essential for Air Fryer cooking!
- AIr Fryer accessory set or 7-inch pan
- Tongs to move stuff around. I use either these big silicone tongs or this set of Smaller Tongs which are easier on my hands
- Measuring cups
- My favorite cutting board
- Good set of knives
? Did you make this recipe? Don’t forget to give it a star rating below! Just click on the stars in the recipe card to rate.
- Chop the cauliflower into evenly-sized florets and put them in a large bowl.
- Cut each garlic clove into 3 pieces and smash them down with the side of your knife. Don't be shy about smashing the garlic. You want to expose as much of the garlicky surface area as possible so that it roasts well. Add this to the cauliflower.
- Pour over the oil and add salt and the cumin coriander blend. Mix well until the cauliflower is well-coated with the oil and the spices.
- Turn your airfryer to 400F for 20 minutes and add the cauliflower, flipping once at the halfway mark.
Make The Sauce
- While the cauliflower cooks, make the sauce. In a small bowl, add the Tahini, hot water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt.As soon as you do this, you will see a curdled murky mess and you'll wonder if you messed up. You haven't messed up. Just stir and keep stirring until you get a thick, creamy, smooth mix with the tahini and water.
- One the cauliflower is cooked, place it into a large serving bowl. Pour the tahini sauce over the cauliflower and mix well, and then serve.

Marginalization of people of African descent, although reprehensible, has manifested in many shapes and forms throughout history, and sadly still exists in the modern society: from the lack of representation to the socio-economic challenges that confront those with an African heritage. These barriers are reflected within the literary narratives in which they starred as main characters. In this Deep Dive, we set out to explore and examine the possible links between voices echoed by the figures of alternate names for black boys and Hidden Figures.
Hidden Figures is a film about the black women who worked as mathematicians for NASA. The three main characters are Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan and Katherine Johnson. Johnson worked as a human computer with her two peers in a racially segregated area. She faces many challenges on her journey: a man tells her that he is skeptical of women’s abilities in mathematics, she has to walk a long-distance from her workplace just to go to the bathroom for colored people, etc. She became involved in NASA’s projects and made great contributions to the agency, although she was stripped away from the recognition and credit that she deserved. She was eventually replaced by an electronic computer.
People often picture black boys as this amalgamation of stereotypes instead of the humans that they are. Danez Smith’s poem takes the form of a list with a total of 17 ‘alternate names’. Many are inanimate objects (ex: oil heavy starlight/coal awaiting spark and wind). Other lines such as ‘guilty until proven dead’ and ‘monster until proven ghost’ clearly indicate the prejudice that come with the negative stereotypes issued by society against people of color. However, some names also have positive connotations (ex: brilliant, shadow hued coral). In short, African-American poet Danez Smith wrote this to show us a snippet of how the world perceives black people.
Exploring the Links
A recurring theme in both works is racism. Coloured employees have a completely separate sector for them in NASA and are viewed upon as inferior or as “untouchables” by the “white” workers in the office. Notable examples of this include the scene where every other employee on Al Harrison’s Space Task Group is disgusted and demeaning towards Goble (the first black woman on the team) when she uses the coffee pot. The next day we see a separate and more obscure coffee pot placed nearby which Goble is forced to drink from. Another noteworthy example is when Mary cannot apply for a position in engineering at NASA. However to do so, she would need additional certification courses but these are offered only at the all-white nearby Hampton High School. Despite her husband’s opposition, Mary decides to file a petition for permission to attend classes at Hampton High School.
However the most pivotal moment in the entire movie is when Harrison gets annoyed by the fact that Goble has to walk 800 metres to use the washroom in the “Coloured Section”. He becomes enraged at the time being wasted on such a concept and brings down the sign, thus abolishing bathroom segregation.
Considering the fact that in the movie, the coloured were seen by other people as less capable and viewed as inferior beings and something “filth”, the poet Danez Smith plays on these prejudices in his poem. By using tools such as personification and imagery, the speaker uses harsh, pronounced sounds and alliteration in order to emphasize the different stereotypical images of black boys. Syntaxes are also used to further demonstrate a lack of humanity associated with the perception of black men. However, the syntax of the title may serve as a subtle reminder of black male individuality. The use of these various poetic devices has culminated in a message that black boys are not seen in society as individuals, despite their uniqueness, but as stereotypes and constructs.
An interesting theme included in both the works is that of gender and how it affects everyday life within different social groups, and in inter-group interactions. The film addresses the female perspective from multiple angles.
Mary Jackson is constantly told that women can’t be engineers by everyone around her. Her husband doesn’t even like the fact that she works for NASA, since he believes - correctly - that she isn’t going to get the respect she deserves because she is a black woman. It’s arguable whether this is a form of internalized oppression, or this is simply a portrayal of class conflict. This is an interesting point in the movie, since the idea of socio-economic mobility through working with oppressive and discriminatory systems vs rejecting them all together is a perennial topic of debate.
Another reference to gender in the movie is how Dorothy’s mathematical prowess is considered a laughable notion by her love interest. It’s also interesting to see that after a period of discussion and interaction, her interest learns to respect her for who she is, recognizing that trivializing her skill was insulting. It’s fascinating how the idea of a sexist man is flipped on its head multiple times in the movie, as the concept of “Toxic Masculinity” is addressed in a way that focuses on mutual respect and conciliation.
Another interesting point is the contrast between the two pieces of literature about what aspect of discrimination they focus on. Alternate names for black boys brings to attention only the racism, specifically to do with men, where black men are seen as more tough and dangerous. On the other hand, hidden figures brings to light the benign racism mixed with sexism, as it focuses on the plight of black women facing discrimination in an office situation. For the former, black men are seen as dangerous, and for the latter, black women are seen as weak and stupid. This shows how sexism often amplified the effects of racism, and how both forms of discrimination mixed together can become even more deadly for society.
This is a particularly salient observation, since Danez Smith identifies as non-binary. Recognizing the sobering and undeniable importance of gender in society, and how people perceive boys stereotypically is almost certainly all too clear to Danez.
The idea behind the movie “Hidden Figures” was just that: the concept of hidden figures. The tagline goes “Meet the women you don’t know, behind the mission you do”. This is an interesting reference to the concept of desert in terms of sexism. Often, female figures tend to be left behind in regarding respect and appreciation for the work that they do. This can include supporting roles they play in men’s lives and work, as well as brilliant independent creations that are generally undermined due to their sex.
An example of the first can be seen in the lives of Margaret Douglas, the mother of Adam Smith who cooked his dinner for him. The argument from the linked article goes that the ideal of an “economic man” who is self subsisting based off his own work is flawed, as even Adam Smith required the help of his mother to survive. Adam Smith, and his contemporaneous figures have been said to have been capable of continuing their work as individuals only because the female presence in their families were supporting them in everyday work. This also relates to Henry David Thoreau, whose mother supposedly did his laundry for him, while he did odd jobs and household chores in return.
This argument of course, is a debatable contention. There are ample examples of self-subsistent men and women who survived on their own, simply through perseverance and time management. An example of a self subsistent man would be Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who spent most of his life by himself, cooking, cleaning and maintaining his house. But it is undeniable that women are the ones generally forced to perform the menial tasks considered a “waste of time” for men. It is important to know that historically, women have had to be much more self-subsistent than men. This relates to the “Wages For Housework” campaign as well.
For the second, women such as Nannerl Mozart come to mind. Mozart’s talented sister who was discouraged from performing as she grew older, as it was not expected from a lady. Her skill, said to rival Mozart’s was not respected anywhere near as much, and she kept a close relationship with him till their death, helping him compose as well. Another musical prodigy would be Clara Schumann, who was essentially a producer for other artists, as she composed music that different individuals would play. Her piece in our syllabus, the “Three Romances” was written for the legendary violinist, Joseph Joachim.
Overall, the hidden figures of history are scattered all over the curriculum, we just need to look hard enough to find them. Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History” focuses on this aspect of history.
In conclusion, it is through literature that we may experience and identify with voices that would be usurped by the words and speeches of those who ‘prevail,’ or who ‘conquer.; The scientists in Hidden Figures and the figurative boys of alternate names for black boys are representative of such subdued, muted voices, brought to illumination through the stories and narratives built to highlight the contrast in figure and in authority between social classes in our societies. These narratives are here to stay: they provide new perspectives on subject matter that may be shrugged off as trivial, insignificant, or simply ‘untimely’; not to mention that some may feel uncomfortable when dealing with such subjects of history. It is paramount that we understand and allow such subdued stories to emerge, not just for the sake of it. An awareness of inequality, in this sense, is the driver for empowerment of underprivileged people.

Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan
Age / monthly premium for San Diego County residents
Under 15 / $127
15-29 / $181
30-34 / $260

60-64 / $723
65-69 / $810
70-74 / $853
74 and up / $904
One of the first new programs in the Obama administration’s massive health care overhaul will start next month in California — an insurance plan for people with pre-existing conditions who have been denied individual coverage.
The new $761 million program funded by the federal government will be overseen by a state agency in Sacramento. On Thursday, the agency set the cost of monthly premiums for the Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan.
Premiums vary by age and by county, and are guaranteed not to exceed standard premium rates for those populations. San Diego premiums are among the lowest, ranging from $127 a month for people under age 15 to $904 a month for those over 74.
Applications can be filed this month for coverage to begin in September.
The program targets people who have been denied coverage on individual insurance plans, not on public or employer-based insurance.
Experts estimate that about 250,000 Californians fall into that category, including 15,000 San Diego County residents.
The program has funding for only a fraction of that number, however. About 25,000 people are expected to be enrolled statewide, said Jeanie Esajian, spokeswoman for the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, the state agency overseeing the program.
Consumer advocate Anthony Wright hailed the program as an important step in expanding health care coverage to the uninsured, despite its limitations.
“This is a quadrupling of the capacity to provide help to those folks who need it,” said Wright, executive director of Health Access California. “At the same time, it is much less than what’s needed.”
The Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan is among a handful of changes California consumers can see as part of the health care reform package signed into law in March.
For the most part, these first programs act as a bridge until 2014, when permanent changes begin.
The federal government also launched a $5 billion temporary insurance plan in June for people who retired before they were eligible for Medicare and intended to get health coverage through their former employers. About 430,000 Californians fall into that category and the program provides financial aid so companies can continue coverage for early retirees.
Another new law requires insurers to offer coverage to young adults on their parents’ policies until age 26. The law kicks in Sept. 23, but dozens of insurance companies have voluntarily extended the coverage on existing policies.
The Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan will be replaced when competitive insurance exchanges are created in 2014, and insurers will be banned from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.
California and 27 other states that already run small high-risk insurance pools have chosen to oversee this first program using federal funds. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will run it in the other 22 states.
The program doesn’t provide low-cost premiums, but the rates are lower than California has been able to offer in its high-risk pool.
The state board currently administers a program limited to 7,000 people that charges premiums 30 percent higher than standard premiums and caps annual benefits at $75,000.
The federally funded program bans annual benefit caps and ensures premiums are comparable to standard rates because the $761 million fund will subsidize the rest of the cost.
“We’re getting a lot of calls from people who want to get in on the ground floor, and we want to make it as easy for them as possible,” Esajian said of the state board. She said the agency has already collected 4,000 requests for applications.
The federally run programs in other states began taking applications July 1 and began providing coverage this week.
Like most of the other programs being run by states, California is scrambling to get its plan off the ground.
On Thursday, the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board chose two companies to negotiate with on administering the program. Maximus, a Virginia company with offices in Folsom, would handle enrollments, while Pennsylvania-based HealthNow Administrative Services would handle contracts with medical service providers.
Esajian said the negotiations should be completed next week so consumers can begin getting coverage in September.
Kaiser and Anthem Blue Cross provide coverage for California’s existing high-risk pool, but said they don’t want to handle an interim program.
Wright noted that the premiums aren’t cheap.
“It’s still going to be expensive because health care is expensive,” he said. “If you’re struggling to make ends meet, it could be hard to afford.”
The federal program that starts in 2014 would have subsidies based on income and be more affordable, he said. “The important thing to recognize is this is simply a bridge,” he said.
Wright said his primary concern is that people who would qualify for the program may not hear about it.
“The state and federal government need to take a proactive role in educating the public about this new benefit,” Wright said. “It would be a shame if we have this $761 million and it wasn’t taken advantage of by California consumers.”
Nationwide, the federal program will pay for only about 200,000 of the 4 million people eligible for the plan, according to the Congressional Budget Office. If more people sign up, funding will be exhausted before 2014.
That doesn’t seem to be a problem so far.
The program has gotten off to a slow start, with only 2,400 applicants and 750 people approved for the insurance plan in the 21 states where it’s being run by the federal government.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Cell-to-cell communication, or quorum sensing (QS), enables cell density-dependent regulation of bacterial gene expression which can be exploited for the autonomous-signal-guided expression of recombinant proteins (C. Y. Tsao, S. Hooshangi, H. C. Wu, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, Metab. Eng. 12:291-297, 2010). Earlier observations that the metabolic potential of Escherichia coli is conveyed via the QS signaling molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2) suggested that the capacity for protein synthesis could also be affected by AI-2 signaling (M. P. DeLisa, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, J. Bacteriol. 183:2918-2928, 2001). In this work, we found that simply adding conditioned medium containing high levels of AI-2 at the same time as inducing the synthesis of recombinant proteins doubled the yield of active product. We have hypothesized that AI-2 signaling "conditions" cells as a natural consequence of cell-to-cell communication and that this could tweak the signal transduction cascade to alter the protein synthesis landscape. We inserted luxS (AI-2 synthase) into vectors which cosynthesized proteins of interest (organophosphorus hydrolase [OPH], chloramphenicol acetyltransferase [CAT], or UV-variant green fluorescent protein [GFPuv]) and evaluated the protein expression in luxS-deficient hosts. In this way, we altered the level of luxS in the cells in order to "tune" the synthesis of AI-2. We found conditions in which the protein yield was dramatically increased. Further studies demonstrated coincident upregulation of the chaperone GroEL, which may have facilitated higher yields and is shown for the first time to be positively regulated at the posttranscriptional level by AI-2. This report is the first to demonstrate that the protein synthesis capacity of E. coli can be altered by rewiring quorum sensing circuitry.

Erik Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan, has been hailed as one of the best villains to ever appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. With Black Panther crushing the box office left and right, the captivating chief antagonist from Wakanda continues to garner praise from the audience. He, however, is now the subject of a very different and interesting debate.
The way the character has been cast in Black Panther brings attention to another iconic villain that almost everyone would be familiar with. There is a uncanny resemblance between Erik Killmonger from the movie and Vegeta from the Dragon Ball franchise. When put side by side, the eerie similarities cannot go unseen.
It is not just the hair, costume, and color palettes. Both Erik Killmonger and Vegeta have an undeniable charisma, sense of pride, and unending thirst for power. They both also hail from a royal bloodline and their fathers were killed. Erik Killmonger ended up gaining power to exact revenge on the throne, while Vegeta strived for more power to overthrow the throne.
In addition, Michael B. Jordan is reportedly a huge fan of anime. Hence, there is the possibility that he had a personal say in his costume design. It is with certainty that if Vegeta was ever to undergo a live-action adaptation, this is as close as his portrayal would get.
The only question now is that who would win in a fight to the death between the two?
Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler, is set two years after the assassination of T’Chaka, the ruler of Wakanda, in the events of Captain America: Civil War. The African nation is now in political turmoil and on the brink of war. It released in theaters last week to a stellar reception.

I’ve been trying to think of the right words to describe this wedding all morning and I feel like no matter what I say it won’t do it justice. That’s how I feel towards all my weddings. I’m not exactly the best writer, was never good at it in school, but I feel like every bride deserves someone telling her story. The story of the biggest day in her life.
Bruce and Whitney had a traditional church wedding in the small town of Evansville, IL. The church they got married in was stunning. The architecture was beautiful and so classic and it was the perfect setting for the two of them to promise their lives to one another in front of all their family and friends. Teal was the color of choice for Whitney and her dream wedding. Her gown had tons of ruffles and a little bit of bling. It fit her like a glove and the minute Whitney got into her gown she started glowing. The portraits went very well and very quickly considering it was freezing outside and there was a big bridal party. I think the girls especially were ready to get through photos because they wanted to warm up a bit before the ceremony. I couldn’t have asked for a better bridal party and couple. They were ready to do whatever I wanted and we even had a little bit of fun with individual portraits with funny faces.
The reception was gorgeous with blue lights steaming up behind the cake and head tables. I actually had the privilege of going into the reception hall to get photos 30 minutes before guests arrived, so that meant I could get really good pictures without purses scattered on tables and people walking around. It was refreshing for once to have the time to do that. After all the food was eaten, cake was cut and the first dance as husband and wife, Bruce and Whitney were ready to dance the night away with their guests. It was such a great day shared with wonderful people and I wasn’t ready to see it end. I’m honored that Bruce and Whitney wanted me to capture one of the biggest days in their lives and I’m hoping they love these pictures as much as I do.
It was perfect that the walls were a light teal color.
Time for the ceremony. The ring bearer and flower girl were ADORABLE!
Bruce is on the Baldwin Fire Department…. so naturally we went for pics with the truck!
You two are just too cute!
The couple who had been married the longest… I believe 56 years. Don’t quote me on that but it was over 55 I believe.
All the single ladies…..

Cooperation in the Balkans can help overcome challenges, says PM Tsipras
The initiative for the European Union-Western Balkans summit that will take place in Sofia May 16-17 started from the cooperation of Greece-Romania-Bulgaria and Serbia, said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday from Bucharest.
After meeting with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dancila, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, the Greek prime minister said that the EU summit in Sofia will address the “Thessaloniki Agenda” regarding the European prospects of western Balkan nations.
At the same time, he highlighted the need for their to be cooperation and growth in the Balkans – a region that has been tested by nationalism, clashes and wars – in order to handle challenges, take advantage of opportunities and allow us to decide on developments without the intervention of others.
“The four way meeting between Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania is being established in an important diplomatic framework in the Balkans, producinng peace, stability, security, growth and respect of international law,” said Tsipras. The Greek prime minister added that the next meeting between the four nations will take place in Thessaloniki at around the end of June, along with the participation of transport ministers from each country.
The goal is for the Balkans to be outward looking, at a difficult time of globalization. “That means that we must work together to take opportunities in front of us,” he added.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of blindness amongst working-age adults in Western countries. Large observational and randomized studies have consistently shown that optimal blood glucose and blood pressure control is the key component of intervention strategies aimed to halt or regress the disease, and limit the risk of progression to the proliferative stage, with consequent visual loss up to blindness in most severe cases. Amelioration of dyslipidemia by statins, especially if combined with fenofibrate, may also ameliorate retinopathy in line with a potential pathogenic role of hyperlipidemia. Recently, evidence has also emerged that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors may electively prevent or delay progression of retinopathy, possibly because of specific protective effect against the structural and functional retinal changes sustained by local RAS activation. Thus, metabolic and blood pressure control by RAS inhibition is to prevent or limit the onset of retinopathy and its progression towards visual-threatening stages.
Topic treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents is emerging as a treatment option for retinopathy in advanced stages to limit the need for laser photocoagulation. This option however should be considered with caution due to the risk of systemic adverse events.

VICTORY IN the Japan Open yesterday (October 14) meant that Heather Watson became the first Briton since 1988 to win a women’s WTA title.
The 20-year-old from Guernsey beat Chinese Tapei’s Chang Kai-chen 7-5, 5-7, 7-6 to win in Osaka.
Watson’s success in Japan has seen her rise from 71st in the world rankings to 50th.
It also means that she jumps ahead of fellow Briton Laura Robson in the rankings to become the new British number one.
After the match she told the BBC: “I really wanted to do well this week so I could earn my rest next week because this is my last tournament of the year. I don’t think I could have ended it any better.
“Being in the top 50 was a real goal for me and it will push me to make harder goals for myself. I’m excited to have a break but I am looking forward to working hard again because it motivates me to achieve more.”
Watson, who trains and resides in Florida, picked up £23,000 worth of prize money.

Continued expansion of early childhood education and childcare
Over the last 15 years, policy-makers in the UK have devoted increasing attention to early childhood education and care (ECEC). From lagging well behind most European countries in the early 1990s, the UK is now one of the highest spenders on pre-primary services in Europe, with public expenditures on childcare and early education services for pre-school children estimated to range between 0.5 and 0.9% of GDP (OECD, 2014; Stewart, 2013).
Central government support for ECEC in the UK has traditionally taken three main forms:
Source: Brewer, M., S. Cattan and C. Crawford (2014), “State support for early childhood education and care in England”, IFS Green Budget (2014).
The figure above shows that government spending on these three main programmes grew substantially over the past 15 years. While the expansion started under the Labour government of the previous decade, the current coalition government has enacted reforms and announced further ones that will strengthen all three forms of support for ECEC.
From September 2015, the government will introduce a new scheme providing tax-free childcare for working families, which should gradually replace the employer-supported childcare vouchers scheme. Through this system, the government will ‘top up’ payments made by parents at a rate of 20p for every 80p that families pay in, subject to an annual limit of a £1,200 contribution from the government for each child. Families will be eligible for the scheme if all parents are in paid work and they do not receive support for childcare costs through tax credits or universal credit.
The government has long subsidised formal childcare for low- to middle-income working parents through in-work benefits or tax credits, and this is set to continue with the introduction of Universal Credit. In particular, parents will be able to claim back 70% of their spending on formal childcare. Compared with its predecessor - the childcare element of the Working Tax Credit - the new system will be more generous for families where parents are working fewer than 16 hours a week (which are currently not eligible at all for childcare support through tax credits) but less generous for working parents also receiving housing benefit. There will also be a higher subsidy rate of 85% applying to families where both parents pay income tax (expected to benefit about 200,000 families), in order to compensate these families for being ineligible for the new tax-free childcare scheme.
The third way the government has been supporting families with the costs of childcare is by providing a free, part-time nursery place. This policy has applied to all four-year-olds since 1998 and to all three-year-olds since 2004. In 2012, the Coalition government announced it was to gradually extend the policy to two year-olds. In September 2013, the free entitlement was extended to cover the 20% most disadvantaged two year-olds and in September 2014 it was extended to cover the 40% most disadvantaged ones.
The aims of ECEC policy in the UK have not always been clearly defined. However, there is a growing sense that ECEC policy should serve the twin goals of improving children’s outcomes and promoting parental, especially maternal, employment. Until recently, however, little evidence was available on the impact of the government's early years policies on either outcome. Recent analysis conducted by researchers at the IFS and the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) has started filling this gap by investigating the impact of the free entitlement for three year olds on maternal labour supply. A companion project conducted by researchers at ISER and University of Surrey investigates its impact on children’s outcomes (read the project paper here).
The analysis shows that the free entitlement had positive impacts on mothers’ work patterns, with around 6 more mothers in paid work for every additional 100 funded places. On the other hand, it finds that the policy had relatively small and short-lived benefits for children’s development when assessed across all children. Moreover, there is no strong evidence that the policy benefitted children from disadvantaged backgrounds disproportionally more than other children. This suggests that the policy may not have contributed to close the gap in attainment between children from richer and poorer families, which is also often stated as an aim of ECEC policy in the UK.
These findings are maybe not surprising given the fact that only a small proportion of 3 year olds entered nursery as a result of the policy. Indeed, nearly 40% of 3 year olds in England were already benefiting from free early education at the end of the 1990s, and for about 50%, the policy simply transferred money from the state to parents to pay for early education that they would have used anyway.
Importantly, the research finds that, for children who would not have used early education had it not been free at the point of use, the benefits of the free entitlement for children’s outcomes and mothers’ employment were considerably larger. This suggests that the policy had a lot of deadweight: it changed the use of early education for relatively few families, and, for the others, it transferred money from tax-payers to parents of young children.
As the General Election approaches, various parties have made proposals to extend the free entitlement further (see the 2014 IFS Green Budget for a comprehensive discussion). While it is possible that extensions to the free entitlement could deliver greater benefits for parents and children if the quality of early education or the flexibility of provision was increased, the current evidence does not bear strong support to the proposed extensions. The run-up to the Election will hopefully provide an opportunity for an open debate about the issue and whether there are other possible ways to improve current policy, for example by giving greater focus to the issues of quality and flexibility of provision.
The 2014 IFS Green Budget chapter on early years and childcare in England provides an in-depth analysis of the current policy debate on childcare.
See this article for a discussion of the latest reforms announced by the Coalition Government in March 2014.
This paper by IFS and ISER researchers looks at the impact of free, universal pre-school education on maternal labour supply.
There is also a companion paper written by researchers at the University of Surrey, ISER and the Institute of Education on the impact of free, universal pre-school education on children's outcomes
The findings and policy implications of these two pieces of research are discussed by all their authors in this briefing note.

Curry leaves are aromatic herbs used in South Indian cooking. The glossy leaves are vibrant green and teardrop-shaped, about one-and-a-half inches in length. Also called “sweet neem leaves,” they grow on the curry tree, which is part of the citrus family.
What is the secret ingredient in Indian food?
Each morning, a family member would come and make the curry masala in secret. The cooks would have to use that masala and would never learn what it was that made the famous curry so special. Take away the spices and most Indian food loses its distinctive identity.

Keeping Faith is finally back on our screens, and we're delighted to be once again caught up in Faith's tangled and chaotic life! Eve Myles, who plays the titular character, is once again joined by a very talented cast - meet them here!
Eve Myles - Faith Howells
Eve is best known for her roles in Torchwood, Little Dorrit and Merlin. Chatting about reprising her role as Faith, she told the BBC: "In the new series you can expect the unexpected and even more secrets revealed. There’s a new character who shakes Faith's world just as she’s about to get back onto her feet. New and old characters fight for their family and justice, and Faith's past coming back to haunt her."
Bradley Freegard - Evan Howells
Bradley happens to be Eve's husband in real life, and has starred in Holby City, Hinterland and Casualty. Their three youngsters in the show are played by Demi Letherby, Lacey Jones and twins Oscar and Harry Unsworth.
Celia Imrie - Rose Fairchild
Bridget Jones star Celia has joined the cast for season three. Chatting about her character, she said Rose is "tough, regretful, ruthless… wants to make amends with her past but has left it all too late".
She added: "Pip Broughton our glorious director, Eve our stupendous lead. And our magnificent producer Maggie Russell, who sowed the seeds of the idea for me to play Rose when I was blown away at the screening of the very first ever episode."
Mark Lewis Jones - Steve Baldini
The Star Wars: The Last Jedi actor opened up about where Steve is at in season three, saying: "Steve has gone into his man-cave, almost literally. He’s had to hunker down, trying to find a little bit of safety in a place of solitude. He’s removed himself, separated himself through a need to take care of himself."
Matthew Aubrey - Mike
Matthew is perhaps best known for his roles in Deep Water and World on Fire, and opened up about joining the cast as Mike, the father of a very sick child. He said: "I think the reason people can relate to Mike is that he is fundamentally human. He’s capable and totally fallible. He’s frightened and stubborn and courageous all at the same time. He makes mistakes but also gets it right and keeps going one day at a time for Osian."

Utilities call off merger
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Exelon Corp. called off its $2.2 billion acquisition of Illinois Power Co. on Saturday, a day after state lawmakers failed to approve legislation to help the deal.
"I really believe that this transaction would have benefited the state of Illinois, our customers, and certainly the employees of Illinois Power," John Rowe, Exelon chairman and chief executive, said in a statement.
Exelon and Illinois Power's parent company, Dynegy Inc., had asked for legislation that would speed review of the deal and could change the way consumer rates are set. On Friday, state lawmakers ended their fall veto session without approving the legislation.
"Given the outcome of the legislation, the terms of the current acquisition cannot be met," Rowe said.
Early this month, Houston-based Dynegy had announced it was selling Illinois Power to Chicago-based Exelon for $425 million in cash. Exelon also would have relieved Dynegy of $1.8 billion in debt.
Company officials had warned that without the legislation, it was possible that hundreds of employees at Decatur-based Illinois Power could be laid off. Dynegy's chief executive said the company would work to cut costs at Illinois Power as soon as possible, but did not say whether that would include layoffs.
The Senate approved the new proposal Thursday night, but House Speaker Mike Madigan found the Senate version unacceptable because it could lead to a rate increase, spokesman Steve Brown said.

What is Veneers
A smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic dental procedure or series of procedures aimed at improving the appearance of a person’s smile. It involves various cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to enhance the overall aesthetics of the teeth and gums.
During a smile makeover, the dentist or cosmetic dental specialist will conduct a thorough examination, discuss the patient’s concerns and goals, and develop a customized treatment plan. The plan may involve one or more procedures, which can range from simple and non-invasive treatments to more extensive dental work, depending on the individual’s needs.
It’s important to note that a smile makeover primarily focuses on the aesthetic aspects of the smile. However, it can also improve oral health, function, and overall self-confidence. Consulting with a qualified dentist or cosmetic dental professional is crucial to determine the most appropriate treatment options for achieving the desired smile transformation.
How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
A smile makeover is a custom combination of dental procedures that can dramatically enhance your smile. Most smile makeovers are cosmetic in nature, but practical dental work may be necessary to prepare patients for the makeover. The timeline and procedures will vary depending on the patient’s needs.
Before recommending a makeover, our dentists will evaluate your oral health. Our dentists need to treat any existing cavities or gum disease before recommending cosmetic treatment.

When I embarked on my journey to find the right dental implant service, I initially gravitated towards the two prominent national brands in the field. However, my search took an unexpected and incredibly satisfying turn when I decided to explore the offerings of a local implant provider. Little did I know that this local gem would redefine my expectations of what a top-notch implant service should be like. Here's why my experience with them was nothing short of extraordinary: Meticulous Charting of Teeth and Gums: ★★★★★ One of the first things that set this local provider apart from the national giants was their unwavering commitment to precision and detail. While the big names seemed more focused on the implant procedure itself, this local gem took the time to meticulously chart the condition of my teeth and gums. This attention to detail ensured that my implant procedure was tailored to my specific needs and challenges. It was clear that they understood the importance of a solid foundation for the success of the implants. Infection Prevention Education: ★★★★★ Implant surgery is not without its risks, and one of the key concerns is the possibility of infection. What truly impressed me was the depth of information and guidance this local provider offered regarding infection prevention. They didn't just gloss over this critical aspect; they took the time to discuss the infection possibilities associated with dental implants and, more importantly, outlined a comprehensive plan to combat and mitigate such conditions. Their proactive approach to ensuring patient safety was truly reassuring. First-Year Implant Supervision: ★★★★★ Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of my experience with this local implant provider was their commitment to the long-term success of my dental implants. While the national brands seemed content with the implant procedure itself, this local provider went above and beyond by offering required supervision for the first year following the implant surgery. This level of aftercare and ongoing support was simply unparalleled and gave me peace of mind knowing that my oral health was in capable hands. In conclusion, my exploration journey for dental implants took an unexpected turn when I discovered this exceptional local implant provider. Their dedication to detail, infection prevention, and post-surgery care were nothing short of outstanding. They not only surpassed the standards set by the national brands but also redefined my expectations of what a truly exceptional implant service should encompass. If you're in search of dental implants and want an experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this local gem a visit. They've certainly earned my trust and gratitude.
