Reiterate pledge to weed out crippling disease at inauguration of 5-day anti-polio drive
Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday reiterated his government’s commitment to achieve 100 percent vaccination target to completely overcome polio.
“Anti-corona SoPs will be followed by polio workers visiting every knock and corner to achieve the targets.”
The chief minister said that DCs and ACs should work hard to achieve the targets and children from other provinces should also be administered the anti-polio vaccine.
Buzdar also asked the parliamentarians to play their role because the government is striving hard to make Punjab a polio-free province.
The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration anti-polio drive at his office here on Friday. On the occasion, he administered anti-polio drops to children.
The CM informed that a strong squad comprising 120,000 health workers will administer drops to 20 million children below five years of age in 36 districts of Punjab during the five-day-long campaign starting from March 29.
Meanwhile, the chief minister chaired a ceremony organised by WHO to acknowledge the services rendered by Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid during corona.
The chief minister and WHO’s country head in Pakistan presented a shield to Dr Yasmin Rashid for performing duties as a frontline worker during the corona pandemic.
WHO representative said the health minister has worked hard to save thousands of lives under the leadership of CM Usman Buzdar.
The CM stated the international acknowledgement of the work done by Dr Yasmin Rashid is a matter of pride for the Punjab government.
The government has provided ample resources to the health department to efficiently deal with this virus, he added.
The health minister thanked the WHO and the chief minister adding that the government is working hard to deal with the third wave.
Meanwhile, PML-N MPA Ashraf Ansari called on CM Usman Buzdar and expressed gratitude to him for the development package announced for Gujranwala. Yunis Ansari and Tahir Bashir Cheema were also present.
Talking on the occasion, Usman Buzdar said that composite development is a commitment and the government is working for serving the masses.
My doors are always open for resolving public-related issues and I will also monitor the development projects for their timely completion because Gujranwala is my own city.
Meanwhile, the people have rejected the negative narratives of the opposition and the unnatural PDM alliance has also died, he added.

Almost three years ago, the Sinjar Mountains of Iraq’s Nineveh Governorate sheltered an estimated 50,000 people fleeing catastrophic violence. Those seeking safety were Yazidis, and they were fleeing what the advocacy group Yazda calls “a systematic campaign of mass atrocities against civilians in northern Iraq.”

The High Court today (13 Sept) awarded RM281,300 in damages to the family of Benedict Thanilas who died in the Jinjang police central lockup, four years ago while suffering hypertension and diabetes.
According to Bernama, Judicial Commissioner Quay Chew Soon made the order on the damages for the deceased’s wife, N. Janagi and daughter, B. Angeline, after allowing the lawsuit against the government during an online proceeding today.
The family had filed a suit against 23 members of the police force, the Inspector-General of Police and the government of Malaysia back in July 2020.
Their lawyer M. Visvanathan said the court had awarded RM4,000 for funeral expenses, RM30,000 for bereavement, RM91,800 in dependency claim, RM50,000 in damages for pain and suffering, and RM100,000 in aggravated damages.
“The court also ordered the defendants to pay RM40,000 in costs to the plaintiffs,” he said, adding that the court did not award any damages for misfeasance in public office in this case.
Back in September 2020, the coroner’s court ruled that the death of Benedict in police custody could have been avoided if he had been given the medical attention he needed.
The suspect, who took eight different types of medication daily, had a heart bypass operation just before his detention under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985.
The 44-year-old was found unconscious in his cell at the Jinjang police lock-up on 10 July 2017. The coroner’s court ruled that neglect by the authorities had contributed to his death.
It was also previously reported that the police officers who arrested Benedict did not take his medicines along when arresting him but instead told his wife to bring them to the Sentul police station later in the day. However, his toxicology report after his death found no traces of the eight medicines in his body.
Besides that, lawyer M. Visvanathan was quoted as saying that there was no evidence that Benedict was involved in drug trafficking.
Meanwhile, Benedict’s wife insists she will not be satisfied unless the police and the government apologise for her husband’s death.
“I’m happy with the judgement but I want the police and the government to admit their guilt. I only want that,” said Janagi today, according to FMT.
“My husband was extremely sick when he was in the lockup, but they just ignored him. I’m really infuriated. That (an apology) is all I want,” she explained.

Scientists in the US have come up with a novel way to lose weight -poop pills.
And despite fears no one would want to down a pill packed with someone else's poo researchers have been shocked at just how easy it has been to get volunteers.
Today's top videos
In fact Dr Elaine Yu, an endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, was flooded with offers when she put out the stomach churning request for volunteers.
The study required them to swallow capsules containing stool to test whether gut bacteria from lean donors could improve their metabolic health.
'We had this concern that it would be difficult to recruit people because there’s a certain yuck factor with having to take a poop pill,' Yu told the New York Times.
'But we had an overwhelming number of volunteers wanting to participate.'
The link between the gut and metabolic disease is a growing area of obesity research.
Scientists believe the microbiota, the community of trillions of microbes that live in the gut, plays a role in weight gain and metabolic disease.
Now they want to see what impact ingesting bacteria from a lean person can have on someone who is obese- a therapy known as faecal microbiota transplants, or FMT.
So far there have been mixed results and a lot of raised eyebrows.
Experts say faecal transplants will never replace diet, exercise, behavioural therapies and other standard interventions for obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
'Obesity is a very complex disorder,' said Dr Jessica Allegretti, the director of the Faecal Microbiota Transplant Programme at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
'Perhaps the microbiome is a contributing part of it, and maybe for everyone it’s slightly different. But even for patients where the microbiome is playing a big part, I think this would be something that is part of a larger weight-loss programme.'

With four records to review in the last 29 years, this review was quick to do. Quite interesting though as apart from the last blues covers album releases in 2016, I did not remember at all the other three in terms of content. I even listened to “Stripped” from 1995, thinking it was a covers’ album while it was actually a sort of live album. Anyway, here is the final package of the whole review. I hope you liked it and that it made you want again to listen to classic records or forgotten ones from this incredible band.
Voodoo Lounge (1994) : Once again, the band delivers the goods on this LP, supervised by the excellent producer Don Was. Five years since their previous album, in times when in five years music trends can be created and over with, the Rolling Stones would now face the same questions again and again: “why are we still doing it having in mind we won’t have an impact anymore?”, “Shall we stick to our blues roots (Keith) or try to update our sound (Mick)?”, “Do we really love each other?”. I guess the answers lie in the questions… This album anyway is particularly successful in getting a dynamic and modern sound while keeping the band close to their essence. A few tracks are really amazing and are regularly played in concerts. So, in a nutshell, another very good one! Oh, and by the way…, Bill Wyman is not a Rolling Stones member anymore if anyone is interested…(8/10). Key tracks : “Love Is Strong“, “You Got Me Rocking” & “Moon Is Up“.
Bridges To Babylon (1997) : Considered by many fans and critics are one of the worst ones, I tried once again to listen to it without prejudice and fresh ears and I must say I was quite excited as totally oblivious of this album. I know it may appear as a lack of critical sense (which is the ANTI-ME!) but I have to admit this one really good as well. Of course, there are a few misses here and there, due to Mick’s eagerness to sound sometimes like a real cool hip-hop dude but overall a very enjoyable album. Look at the three tracks I selected and tell me these are not great ones! (7.5/10). Key tracks : “Anybody Seen My Baby“, “Out Of Control” & “Saint Of Me”.
A Bigger Bang (2005) : …and here we are, the Rolling Stones releasing an album of original songs in the 21st century; who would have thought about it really? This album was mainly the brainchild of Keith Richards and one can feel indeed a nice and constant blues rock feel through it. The main issue is that there are 16 songs on this album and a few of them are just okish. It would have made a killer 10-track LP but overall still a nice and dignified effort. (7/10). Key tracks : “Let Me Down Slow”, “Biggest Mistake” & “Laugh, I Nearly Died“.
Blue & Lonesome (2016) : More than ten years since their last studio album and with an unexpected December 2016 release (meaning a bit late to be in the traditional best of lists…including mine), this album is actually only made out of blues covers. The original plan for the band was to gather in a London studio and rehearse original material. It looks though that nothing good came out of it and the band started to play a few obscure blues covers to have fun and get the energy. One song was recorded, then a second one and little by little the band realised they had a new album. And what an amazing album this is! To me, blues is a great form of music to catch on stage but somehow slightly boring and repetitive on records…which is not true at all here. The Rolling Stones play as if their lives of men in their seventies depended on it, the sound is huge and pure and Mick sings with an ageless voice. One of their best records ever. (9/10). Key tracks : “Commit A Crime“, “All Of Your Love” & “Ride ‘Em On Down”.
…and so the verdict is that there is no awful Rolling Stones record, that a few forgotten ones are excellent and deserve to be listened to again and that their classics are even better than their reputation. Long live to The Rolling Stones!

Whereas the prescription drug reforms primarily apply to Medicare; some provisions work together with the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) and will enhance total Medicaid prescription drug spending. In FY 2020, Medicaid gross drug spending was $72 billion and $39 billion was offset by rebates, leading to $33 billion of internet spending that’s shared by states and the federal authorities, accounting for about 5% of complete Medicaid spending. Regardless of remaining secure from 2015 to 2019, Medicaid internet spending on prescribed drugs elevated in 2020. Additional, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted prescription drug developments, with Medicaid prescription drug utilization declining in 2020 whereas each gross and internet spending elevated. Whereas different Medicaid provisions, akin to closing the protection hole, weren’t included within the ultimate reconciliation invoice, the Act does embody expanded entry to vaccines for adults on Medicaid. This coverage watch explores the potential impacts of the Inflation Discount Act on total Medicaid spending in addition to implications for Medicaid beneficiaries.
The Medicare value negotiation provisions included within the Inflation Discount Act aren’t anticipated to have vital implications for Medicaid. Beneath the brand new legislation, the federal authorities will be capable to negotiate costs for some high-cost medication lined underneath Medicare beginning in 2026. A earlier KFF evaluation discovered Medicare negotiation would enhance Medicaid drug prices attributable to decrease rebate funds; nevertheless, the brand new legislation mitigates the influence on Medicaid by together with provisions that shield Medicaid rebates and permit Medicaid to learn from the negotiated costs. Attributable to federally required rebates underneath the MDRP, Medicaid pays considerably decrease internet costs for medication than Medicare or personal insurers, and producer rebates lowered total Medicaid prescription drug spending by 55% in FY 2020.
The Medicare inflationary rebates established within the new legislation are anticipated to extend Medicaid drug spending. The brand new legislation requires drug firms to pay a rebate to the federal government if drug costs rise sooner than inflation for Medicare beginning in 2023. Medicaid already receives inflationary rebates by means of the MDRP, and inflation-related rebates present a considerable amount of financial savings for Medicaid packages. The Medicare inflation-related rebates will imply slower progress in drug costs over time, resulting in decrease Medicaid inflation-related rebates. These rebate losses are anticipated to outweigh any pharmacy financial savings from slower drug value progress. Additional, drug firms are anticipated to extend drug launch costs to offset the slower progress in costs, that are projected to extend Medicaid prices regardless of a bigger rebate on the newly launched drug. The CBO estimates the IRA’s Medicare inflation-related rebates will enhance Medicaid spending by $15.7 billion over a ten-year interval.
Different latest coverage modifications have implications for the IRA’s influence on Medicaid. Since 2010, there was a cap on the full rebate quantity Medicaid can obtain for a drug (100% of common producer value (AMP)). In consequence, producers who hit the rebate cap don’t face further Medicaid rebates in the event that they proceed to extend costs; a 2015 evaluation discovered about 18.5% of brand name medication reached the rebate cap in the course of the fourth quarter. The American Rescue Plan Act eradicated the cap on Medicaid drug rebates beginning in 2024, permitting Medicaid packages to gather rebates (past 100% AMP) from producers who proceed to extend costs. This alteration magnifies the results of the Medicare inflation-related rebates within the IRA relative to earlier estimates made earlier than the lifting of the Medicaid cap. On the identical time, the IRA features a provision prohibiting the implementation of a Trump-era prescription drug rebate rule, which may offset among the will increase in Medicaid spending.
The provisions aren’t anticipated to influence prices for Medicaid beneficiaries, who proceed to be protected towards excessive out-of-pocket drug prices. Medicaid beneficiaries often pay little or no copays for prescribed drugs, together with for insulin. The Inflation Discount Act contains new protections towards excessive out-of-pocket prices for Medicare beneficiaries by including a $2,000 cap on Medicare Half D out-of-pocket spending beginning in 2025 in addition to a $35 out-of-pocket cap on insulin prices for Medicare beneficiaries beginning in 2023.
The Inflation Discount Act additionally covers vaccines and vaccine administration for all Medicaid adults with no price sharing. Vaccines have been beforehand an elective profit for sure grownup populations, together with low-income mother or father/caretakers, pregnant girls, and individuals who’re eligible based mostly on previous age or a incapacity, however have been lined for adults enrolled underneath the ACA’s Medicaid enlargement. One survey from 2018-2019 discovered half of states didn’t cowl all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) really helpful vaccines and 15 states had price sharing necessities. Utilizing the survey’s state stage knowledge and 2019 grownup Medicaid enrollment knowledge, we estimate about 4 million adults may achieve protection of at the very least a number of vaccines by means of this provision. General, this provision is predicted to enhance entry to vaccines and enhance grownup vaccination charges and is projected to extend Medicaid spending by $2.5 billion over a ten-year interval.

Gregg Popovich should win Coach of the Year
And really, he or Thibs should win it every year. They are clearly the best coaches who do the most with the talent givin. And this year, I'm a Suns fan, but both probably deserve it over Hornacek who has done a great job. Popovich offense is amazing, here is a video I made as an example of why the Spura offense is so good.
Yeah Pop is almost a victim of his own success. I am not for certain but he only has one COTY? I believe Phil Jackson only ended with one as well. People typically vote for the new guy.... Not the consistently great gut. Its a product of our short minded society these days more than it is anything Pop has done. Pop is also frustrating for the media which probably rubs them the wrong way even though I personally love the way he out wits their stupid questions consitently. He just gets the bigger picture and understands what really matters is the basketball and not the parade/circus the media would prefer to turn it in to.
I think much like the player awards if they players and coaches voted their would be consistently different outcomes in the award races.
As you said, Pop could win the coach of the yea revery season. The guy is an absolute genius. I think he's top 5 in the greatest coaches of all-time right now.
And really, he or Thibs should win it every year.
The two of them do the best job every year, but because their teams are always good, a coach who coached a team that was bad the year before tends to steal it from one of them.
Great video! Excellent job with the scouting report. Goes to show how much discipline and structure there is in San Antonio.
The COY award is recently more of "Most Improved Team" award so that will make it tough for Popovich to win
I don't like it this way and If it was a real ranking for the coaches he would win it easily
I like what you did there. It looks in the same format as BBall Breakdown, which is very interesting to watch. Great video!
I really think that either Popovich or Hornachek deserve the COTY award for opposite reasons. Popovich deserves it due to the consistency and ability to transform his team over time. Hornachek deserves it because he took one of the worst teams in the league and made them in to a team that not even the top tier teams would want to face on any given night. As a Suns fan I will be extremely frustrated to see Phoenix miss the playoffs while my hometown team the New York Knicks make it with about ten less wins.
When shouldn't Gregg Popovich win coach of the year?
Hornacek or Thibs has to win in this year.. trust me I understand that Popovich is doing marvelous things with that Spurs team, but Hornacek turned a bunch of misfits into a playoff team and Thibs is turning dog crap into lemonade every year.. If im voting it has to go to one of those guys.
I'm not sure if Thibs deserves Coach of the Year, the dude runs his starters into the ground to win regular season games and is always carrying injuries into the post-season.
Not saying he doesn't have excellent coaching skills, but he needs to get better at seeing the bigger picture, develop his young guys a bit more and keep his team healthy for the post-season.
The fact that Popovich manages to keep his key guys rested and get the most out of his bench, and end up with the best record in the NBA is what makes him an amazing coach and a deserving CotY winner.
That said, I'm not sure if he'll get it this year, Hornacek and even Steve Clifford have a pretty good shot at it given what they've done with their rosters.
"Not saying he doesn't have excellent coaching skills, but he needs to get better at seeing the bigger picture, develop his young guys a bit more and keep his team healthy for the post-season"
Joakim Noah is having a career year, Jimmy Butler is having a career year, Dj Augustin is having a career year and Taj Gibson is having a career year.. So explain to me how this guy is not developing his under 30 talent when pretty much all of them are having career years..
Luol Deng is injury prone and Derrick Rose obviously has been since High School. but Right now the Bulls dont have a guy on the roster that is playing over 34.1 minutes a game, actually Thibs has done a great job this year managing minutes of his players.. you are speaking of last year when the team had no bench and Thibs had no choice but to ride the back of guys with heavy minutes back when they had an 8 guy rotation..

Despite being heavily featured on the company's consumer website – configurator pricing annoyingly showed F&N pricing by default – the promotion is being cancelled well before its early January termination date. Buyers that took advantage of the plan were able to slash up to $2,000 off the entire Ford lineup, aside from stuff like the Mustang, the company's commercial pickups, and Lincoln-badged vehicles. While that sounds like a good deal, consumers simply didn't respond.
"We're thrilled it's coming to an end," Bob Kain, the general manager at a Versailles, KY Ford dealership, told The Detroit News. The promotion confused consumers, who were expecting a bigger savings, Kain said. The dealer did salute Ford's vigilant response to the plan's shortcomings.
"Dealers offered insights on the kinds of offers resonating most with customers in-market, and we are updating our plan based on their feedback," the company said in a statement, The News reports. "We will continue to be competitive yet disciplined on incentives and offers for customers."
The Friends & Neighbors campaign will be replaced this week with a separate Holiday Sales Event. The details of the new plan were not available at the time of this writing.

What is the Difference Between a Nursing Home and a Group Home?
In order to help your loved one select the best type of care that he or she needs, it is important to understand the various types of care facilities that are available. For example, nursing homes and group homes are both viable options for many families in Arizona. While they do share some similarities, they are also different in many ways.
Are there Similarities?
Basically, both nursing homes and group homes are housing options for people—typically senior citizens—who are no longer able to live independently. Residents of both types of facilities need help with many aspects of everyday living, and both allow family members for visits and possible outings. Meals are provided in both nursing homes and group homes.
How the two differ revolves mainly around the type and level of care that is offered to residents. Nursing homes are popular choice for people who require continuous skilled nursing care. Residents in nursing homes can vary in age, but many are older people with health issues that are serious enough to need access to medical care, but are not acute enough to require hospitalization. Some people who live in Arizona nursing homes have Alzheimer’s disease or dementia that requires around the clock supervision and monitoring.
Typical services offered in nursing homes include physical therapists, recreational assistants, occupational therapy and care by nurses and nurse’s aides. Some residents of nursing homes spend a large portion of their day in their rooms, while others are able to move around the facility to attend programs and see visitors. Some nursing homes are located close to hospitals, should more immediate medical care be needed.
Adult Group Homes
Group homes, on the other hand, are usually found in residential homes that have been converted for handicapped access. Residents of group homes are unable to live on their own, but they do not need the constant presence of trained medical staff to assist with any health issues. Meals and housekeeping services are provided, and staff can help with everyday tasks that the seniors need help with, but constant access to medical monitoring is not provided. Rooms can be private or semi-private. Adult Group homes tend to be less expensive than nursing homes.

Depreciation change in insurance claims to hurt consumers
12 April 2001
As private general insurance companies are fanning the market for business, the Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) the premium fixing body for general insurers has brought about a change that is likely to customers.
The TAC has decided to reintroduce the
concept of depreciation while settling claims for accidental damage to private cars and
two-wheelers. The decision has come into effect since 1 April, 2001. With this, the TAC
has now decided to withdraw the in-built 10 per cent loading in the premium.
In 1998, in a customer-friendly move, the TAC decided to remove application of depreciation on new parts replaced in claims of private cars/two-heelers. Though the move was not warranted then, as the four public sector insurers were crying hoarse about mounting motor claims, the TAC had went ahead with its decision.
At that time, an official of the United India Insurance Company Ltd., Chennai, had said that the own damage ratio (damage to vehicles) is well within the limits, and that the companies could meet any increased claims pay out resulting from not applying of depreciation on new parts.
Reacting to the TAC's recent move, Mr. R. Ramalingam, director, United India Insurance, remarks, "The decision to settle claims 100 per cent without any deduction was a customer-friendly move. But unscrupulous vehicle repairers - be it authorised service stations or not - took advantage of this provision and resorted to replacement of parts, however small the damage might be."
While the bottom line of service stations and repair stations swelled due to increased component sales and vehicle owners were happy by getting new for the old parts, it was the insurance companies who suffered the brunt.
For instance, the own damage claims ratio of the United India Insurance went up by 10 per cent to 62 per cent during 1999-2000. However, it is not known whether private insurers had a role to play in TAC's recent decision.
According to Mr. Ramalingam, the benefit of
100 per cent claims settlement could be extended on payment of additional premium. But a
decision to this effect is yet to be taken by the TAC.
That apart, in a move to give freedom to insurers in evolving their own rates, the TAC has said that the premium fixed by it is the minimum rate and individual companies are free to charge higher rates.
This gives flexibility to general insurers to evolve their own rates based on their claims ratio. The other possible fall out of this is the freedom to insurers to revise upwards the third party premium.

Beirut has been ranked no. 1 as the most expensive city in the Middle East and 10th place globally according to EuroCost International’s annual survey on house rental prices for 2010. This ranking constituted an increase of 18 spots from 28th place in 2009, as reported by Lebanon This Week, the economic publication of the Byblos Bank Group.
Beirut ranked ahead of Paris, Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam, and behind Singapore, Osaka and New York City in this year’s survey. EuroCost International noted that Beirut appears for the first time among the top 20 cities worldwide and has become the most expensive city in the Middle East this year, pushed up by the real estate speculation that has generated a strong increase in the supply of high quality housing.
EuroCost International added that the locations selected for the survey are areas frequented by expatriates. It noted that it only includes residential units that are of very high quality, as multinationals are aware that housing is a crucial component of expatriates’ comfort and satisfaction and, therefore, seriously take into consideration their staff’s living conditions.
The survey evaluates the average rental cost for two- and three-bedroom apartments for expatriates, and converts the average prices per location to euros. It said the data reflects the local rental market for expatriates and therefore differs from the rental market for the local population in terms of price level and evolution.
It added that the decline in rental prices in other Arab and non-Arab cities contributed to the increase in Beirut’s rankings, as Dubai rents declined by 30 percent to 50 percent, dropping the city from 12th place in 2009 to 31st place this year, while Abu Dhabi regressed by one spot from 11th place last year to 12th place this year.
Tokyo remained the most expensive expatriate rental city in 2010, while the rankings of the top 9 cities were almost unchanged from last year.

Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it actually earned a very good score in long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its second best category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. Our short-term care grades are presumably more important for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Does this page answer your questions about Heritage Hills Living & Rehabilitation Center?
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. When calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also need to point out that this place was assessed large government fines in excess of $50,000. This generally means that CMS inspectors became fed up after several years of failed government inspections.

Pre-tax earnings were up nearly 33 percent to $72.1 million. That’s what the company primarily uses to measure its success.
José Suquet, chairman of the board, president and CEO, said the company’s 2015 merger with Mutual Trust Holding Company of Illinois helped push revenues to the $1 billion-plus mark. Pan-American’s four businesses hit their revenue and earnings goals as well.
Total sales for 2016 were up 4 percent. U.S. life business grew 15 percent and international group sales increased by 7 percent. Local individual health increased by 8 percent, and U.S. group business grew 5 percent.
Internationally, Pan-American focused on countries where it saw growth opportunities, such as Mexico and Colombia. Costa Rica, a market the firm entered in late 2010, did particularly well, producing over $50 million in revenue last year.
“The international group business is doing quite well, and I expect it to grow,” he said.
Looking ahead, Suquet said he doesn’t expect Pan-American to see as large an income growth in 2017 as it did last year, but added, “We’re now at a different bar with the type of earnings that we’re developing.”
“We’re now a very solid, mid-sized insurance company in the industry in the U.S,” he said. “A $1 billion company is a different animal than what it was 10 years ago.”
He said the “wild card” will be the restructuring of the firm’s U.S. group offerings resulting from changes expected to be made to the Affordable Care Act.
“It’s anybody’s guess right now,” he said. “But we are preparing for changes depending on which way it all ends up. That’s probably the area we are most sensitive to making sure we are ready to pivot based on any changes for health insurance in the U.S.”
As of year-end 2016, Pan-American listed $5.6 billion in total assets and an estimated $933 million in total equity. That compares to $5.5 billion in total assets and an estimated $837 million in total equity at the end of 2015.
Founded locally in 1911, Pan-American has more than 1,700 employees worldwide.

Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) introduced that it has entered right into a multi-12 months settlement with bet365. The UK-primarily based total operator will use CDI’s wholly-owned subsidiary Presque Isle Downs & Casino to release in Pennsylvania after the necessary regulatory approvals. This jointly good deal will permit CDI to awareness of its number one horseracing cellular wagering business.
Bet365 Marches On with US Expansion Efforts
2022 was a turbulent year for Bet365 as the operator saw a disastrous 95% drop in profits despite a marginal increase in revenue. The main reason for these poor metrics is the company’s skyrocketing administrative expenses associated with its increased focus on international expansion. bet365 added over 500 new employees to its roster, significantly impacting operating profit. Despite the unfavorable metrics, additional spending is essential to ensure a sustained presence in the US sports betting market. The airline has made steady strides, launching in Colorado, Ontario, and Argentina.
Customer acquisition costs in the US were exceptionally high. However, bet365’s efforts are undeterred, as evidenced by the recent deal with CDI.
Both Companies Will Benefit Substantially
Establishing a multi-yr settlement is at the same time beneficial to each party. The deal paves the way for seamless growth in Pennsylvania for bet365, permitting CDI to monetize its sports activities by having a bet and gaming property even as it specializes in its objectives. A bet365 spokesperson lauded the deal, promising to carry the corporation’s exceptional services to this new marketplace. The world’s preferred online sports activities with a bet emblem could be to be had by sports activities fanatics in Pennsylvania, supplying super web website online functions on the pinnacle of our marketplace-main sign-up offer. bet365 statement CDI’s professional press launch concerning the settlement notes that the corporation will preserve attention on developing its TwinSpires online horseracing wagering segment. The address bet365 will take advantage of Presque Isle Downs & Casino’s iGaming and online sports activities, having a bet commercial enterprise with as few prices and attempts as possible. CDI CEO Bill Carstanjen become constructive concerning the partnership, lauding bet365 for its global success. Our dating with bet365 allows us to maximize the price of our corporation’s sports activities, having a bet and iGaming marketplace get the right of entry to in Pennsylvania. A hit Pennsylvania release could be an extensive boon to bet365’s US growth efforts. Securing a marketplace percentage within the Keystone State will give the operator the right to enter a booming playing marketplace that can maintain tremendous profits. However, the vicinity stays particularly competitive, so bet365 will want to paint more difficult to attract clients far from mounted operators.

A classic work of science fiction by renowned Polish novelist and satirist Stanislaw Lem
When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds a painful, hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the living physical likeness of a long-dead lover. Others examining the planet, Kelvin learns, are plagued with their own repressed and newly corporeal memories. The Solaris ocean may be a massive brain that creates these incarnate memories, though its purpose in doing so is unknown, forcing the scientists to shift the focus of their quest and wonder if they can truly understand the universe without first understanding what lies within their hearts.

"When psychologist Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds himself confronting a painful memory embodied in the physical likeness of a past lover. Kelvin learns that hs is not alone in this, and that other crews examining the planet are plagued with their own repressed and newly real memories. Could it be, as Solaris scientists speculate, that the ocean may be a massive neural center creating these memories, for a reason no one can identify? Long considered a classic, Solaris asks the question: Can we understand the universe around us without first understanding what lies within?" -- back cover.

Vimeo founder Jakob Lodwick is now sporting a haircut straight out of Taxi Driver. Which wouldn't be disturbing, except that the young millionaire seems to be having a breakdown that would make a fitting sequel for the gritty film.
Lodwick has been as conflicted about his oversharing as any other internet fameball; he recently left the internet entirely, only to return. But his emotional volatility has seemed especially pronounced of late.
Earlier this year, Lodwick showed up half naked to a Web networking event and appeared in a variety of strange poses in pictures from the event. He later posted some sex pics, apparently of himself, to his blog.
Then in April he made an insane lipdub video in which he was swinging a knife and punching at the camera.
Now he's looking like a mohawked Robert DeNiro.
Lodwick, who invests in tech startups, says he "makes projects" for a living. Here's to hoping his strange antics just part of yet another "project" by the attention seeker, rather than a genuine indication of his state of mind.


A new artificial intelligence research lab aims to solve the field’s most pressing problems by drawing inspiration from the animal kingdom — like the movements of a school of fish or the coordination of a colony of bees.
As many of the top companies in the field seek to outdo each other by building ever-larger AI systems, Sakana, which takes its name from the Japanese word for fish, thinks it may be able to do more with less data. The startup plans to make multiple smaller AI models, the kind of technology that powers products like ChatGPT, and have them work together. The idea is that a “swarm” of programs could be just as smart as the massive undertakings from larger organizations.
Founded by two prominent industry researchers, former Google employees David Ha and Llion Jones, Sakana’s approach could potentially lead to AI that’s cheaper to train and use than existing technology. That includes generative AI, which has captivated Silicon Valley with its ability to spit out text and images in response to prompts. The new venture’s approach contrasts with that of companies like OpenAI, which might feed all its data into one large AI program, rather than a series of littler ones.
“Ants move around and dynamically form a bridge by themselves, which might not be the strongest bridge, but they can do it right away and adapt to the environments,” Ha said. “I think this sort of adaptation is one of the very powerful concepts that we see in natural algorithms.”
Ha and Jones are marquee names in the world of AI research. Jones, a Tokyo-based AI researcher, co-authored one of Google’s most influential papers in the field, “Attention Is All You Need,” which underpins many of today’s most popular AI products. Ha, also based in Tokyo, was previously Stability AI’s head of research. Before that, he focused on generative AI while working as a scientist at Alphabet Inc.’s Google Brain in Japan.
Sakana is still in the early stages: It hasn’t yet built an AI model and doesn’t have an office. The plan is to open one in Tokyo soon, Ha said. The company declined to comment about its fundraising status.
But the ideas Sakana is working with are more established. Near the end of his time at Google, Ha and a colleague launched a project dubbed “sensory neuron as a transformer,” and deployed a fleet of small AI models to work together to play a game, rather than using one large model. Other researchers have also taken inspiration from the workings of the human brain. The term “artificial neural networks,” for example, refers to AI models programmed to process information in a way that’s roughly analogous to how people do, by using trial and error.
“The human brain still works better than our best AI,” Jones said. “So, clearly the human brain is doing something right that we haven’t quite caught onto yet.”
Jones and Ha sat near each other in Google’s Tokyo offices, and the pair stayed in touch after Ha left the company. Following their years at the internet behemoth, they eventually gravitated toward startups. Ha’s role at Stability AI meant he was spending a lot of time building research teams, he said, and he longed to return to conducting research. And Jones felt fenced in at Google.
“It’s unfortunately true to say I have so much more velocity outside of Google,” he said, noting that the need to secure approvals and resources could slow the process of working on innovative technology at a large company. When Ha suggested that they found a startup, he said, “It just made a lot of sense to me.”

ABOUT THE DRUG
Cipril H 5/12.5mg combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide (Hctz) to produce a potent drug used in the treatment of high blood pressure and heart attack.
Lisinopril is a potent drug used in the treatment of high blood pressure and heart attack. It belongs to the class of ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme) and is one of the most popular drugs given in the treatment of heart failure and hypertension.

Lisinopril belongs to the class of ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor). It stops the formation of Angiotensin II which causes constriction of blood vessels and increases the blood pressure. It relaxes the constricted blood vessels and helps heart in pumping the blood more easily. It reduces the post heart attack damage by supplying sufficient oxygen supply. In case of kidney problems, it improves the blood supply in the vessels found in the kidneys and reduces the chance of getting hypertension and diabetes post effects.
Hctz on the other hand is a diuretic drug that removes excess water and salts from the blood in the form of urine. It reduces the volume of the blood and thus decreases the cardiac output.

My longtime collaborator Birtley Aris and I are delighted to have finished work on a new publication Dwelling Place, set at the National Trust site Allen Banks in Northumberland. It features four poems and pen and ink drawings prompted by work I did for my PhD looking at Susan Davidson, a Victorian descendant of the Bowes Lyon family, who landscaped the grounds of Ridley Hall where she lived after her marriage to John Davidson, extending into the gorge and woodland at Allen Banks after his death in 1842. As part of her vision, she created the tarn in Moralee Wood, bridges across the river, a network of footpaths and various summerhouses across her estate. The Cedar Hut above Raven’s Crag on the cover is a modern reconstruction of one of these.
All of the poems in Dwelling Place are sparked by ideas of home and belonging, what we do to create spaces of shelter and sanctuary. Birtley and I started work on it long before the pandemic but it seems to have accrued new layers of meaning in the light of this past year.
As we can’t launch the pamphlet in real life, we’re offering it here for sale at £8 (£10 including p + p). Hopefully there’ll be an opportunity to gather together for a reading in Hexham and Newcastle at some point next year. There are many things I’m missing at the moment but poetry events are among the top of my list.
Taking stock of The Bookshop under the Bed, there are also some copies of other pamphlets and books – some quite old and rare – that I can also send in the post for anyone who’s interested or looking for an unusual Christmas present. The best thing, if you’d like any of these or Dwelling Place (or want to enquire about any other of my books), would be to email me at email@example.com, send me your postal address and we can sort out how you’d like to pay.
Acts of Love (Echo Room Press, 1990)
Aerogramme (Talking Pen, 2004)
Heartwork (Playspace Publications 2012)
Through the Garden Gate (NCLA 2011)
Border Song (Hareshaw Press, 2012)
another wild (Hareshaw Press, 2014)
All of the above are £6 each (+ £2 UK p+p) or any 3 copies for £20 (inclusive of UK p+p). I can look into international postage costs, if necessary.
I have unearthed one remaining copy of Acknowledged Land (Northumberland County Libraries, 1993) – an early collaboration with Birtley Aris, now extremely rare and much sought after – and am happy to consider offers.
I am offering these books as part of the Artist Support Pledge, where if I make £1000 (unlikely I know, but these are unprecedented straitened times…), I pledge to buy another artist’s work for £200.
Stay warm and well.

RAIN or Shine can’t seem to get enough of overseas training this year.
Settling for local camps in past offseasons, the Elasto Painters embark on their second trip abroad this year, heading to the Middle East after going to Australia for a one-week training camp last month.
The Painters leave for Bahrain on Wednesday, facing Nuwaidrat, a club team which RoS assistant coach Mike Buendia handled in 2004, in an exhibition on Thursday, before taking on the Bahrain national team the next day.
The perennial PBA contenders then travel to Kuwait, where they will play a still-undetermined club next Wednesday.
“Yun ang preparation namin,” Painters assistant coach Caloy Garcia said on Tuesday after the team’s tune-up game against Mahindra at Nega gym.
Garcia, who called the shots in the Painters’ rout of the Enforcers, said coach Yeng Guiao will handle the squad in Bahrain, before the top deputy takes over in Kuwait.
“Na-invite kami (sa Bahrain at Kuwait),” Garcia said. “We asked permission from management, pumayag naman. Para maiba naman.”
“At least we were able to have a tune-up against Kia before we left para at least nakita namin what we had to adjust sa tawagan,” he added. “So far naman, naka-adjust naman 'yung mga players. May mga minor lapses lang.”

THE Japanese government has promised to fast track the processing of documents and requirements on banana tariffs and market access of Philippine agricultural products.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said Takamuri Yoshikawa, Japan’s Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, made the promise during their one-on-one engagement in the MAFF headquarters in Tokyo the other day.
The meeting came a week after President Rodrigo Duterte met with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a friendly bilateral engagement in Japan.
“The Japanese government appeared to have softened on long-standing issues on banana tariffs and market access for Philippine agricultural products, including Avocado. The meeting was a surprise development as Japan is known for its stringent protocols on official engagements and it normally takes months before meetings could be arranged,” Piñol said.
Piñol added that among the issues raised in the meeting include the request of the Philippines for lower tariff on Cavendish banana exported to Japan from 8- 18% to zero tariff; and the fast tracking of the market access of Philippine avocado.

"I fired a manager after he said to me, 'Do something crazy and it'll get on YouTube and your career will take off!'" comedian Christopher Titus told me in an interview this summer. "I looked at him and was like, 'Really, that's your plan? Really?'"
While Titus may be cynical about creating a phony exhibition as a method of infiltrating the public consciousness, media-savvy Republican Senator Ted Cruz found success using the same tactic last week when he staged what could be mistaken for a post-modern performance-art piece on the the Senate floor, but has become known as his "faux filibusterer."
Just like sex scandals, weird religions and criminal investigations, the political media machine loves a good filibuster. Jimmy Stewart turned the bureaucratic protest into an act of humble heroism in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and it has since been used as a dramatic plot device on The West Wing and for comedic tension in Amazon's new Alpha House series. Non-stop speeches with no breaks for meals or bathroom visits, filibusters have been championed as a somewhat demeaning physical challenge. Senator Strom Thurman currently holds the record with his 24-hour monologue against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, a feat that was nearly duplicated by Cruz last week with his 21 hour rant -- if only he were performing an actual filibuster.
But he wasn't. All the ingredients were there -- the passion, the media attention, the marathon of devolved, nonsensical babbling -- but the context was missing. He wasn't delaying a vote, only commenting on something that had been voted on almost four years ago. And with this stunt, Cruz divided his party, fanned flames of a government shut-down, and somehow lowered public regard for the U.S. Senate even further than its previous resting place. And yet, it was a total success.
Titus's former manager may have been a shallow moron, but he wasn't wrong in his suggestion that a little synthetic drama goes a long way. Titus assumed that the public was far too intelligent to believe in a staged drama, filmed on an iPhone and placed on YouTube, but he was giving the public far too much credit. Even though the two have nothing in common, the words "filibuster" and "Ted Cruz" can currently be seen in headlines and tweets across the Internet. And even though he offered nothing new in the debate against Obamacare, and probably even hurt his party's chance at effecting change on the issue, the Senator himself was a featured profile on Sunday talk shows and is being hounded about a possible 2016 run for the White House.
Like Miley Cyrus twerking on a Beetlejuice-attired Robin Thicke during the VMAs, Cruz's exhibition was a meticulously constructed media-grab, replete with SEO-friendly pop-culture references and Obama-is-like-Hitler sensationalism. Exchange the word "filibuster" with "meltdown" and it's no different from any other hysterical talking point on the E! Network.
Comedians deal with this conundrum all the time. Dave Chappelle would probably still be regarded as a comedy legend if he'd never gone off script and insulted his audience on stage, but he wouldn't have received half the media attention that he has. While the incidents that have been reported with the word "meltdown" next to his name were probably unstaged, it would've made a certain sense if they had been. Former SNL Goat Boy Jim Breuer certainly had few qualms about manufacturing a breakdown on the set of a Pizza Hut commercial in 2009. I spoke with Breuer about this just last week; the interview had run long and this segment of our conversation never made it to publication, but about 45 minutes into our chat, Breuer confessed that the semi-viral YouTube video titled "Jim Breuer flips out on Pizza Hut commercial shoot" was 100 percent staged. While he had actually been commissioned for a celebrity endorsement on a Pizza Hut TV spot, halfway through shooting the marketing directors behind the restaurant chain had a clever, yet wildly unoriginal, idea for boosting the SEO factor of their brand.
Jim Breuer: Pizza Hut, in the middle of the shoot, approached me and said "Christian Bale has this viral video where he snapped. We think it would be great if we created a viral video. We want you to snap." I wasn't comfortable with it, I didn't think anyone would buy that Jim Breuer from SNL would snap. However, it came with a boatload of cash. . . . So Pizza Hut paid me to create a fake viral video, so they can sell more pizza. My hat's off to them because it got people talking. You'd be shocked how many people think it's real.
Unfortunately, I am not shocked that so many people bought this poorly crafted, non-nonsensical video as a legit piece of undercover footage. Just like I'm not surprised that so many people are awarding Ted Cruz a place in the annals of filibuster history. These are the same people who think the commercials where a camera crew surprises "real people" on the street to ask them about Bing or Downy are legit situations.
I would like to live in Christopher Titus's world, where the public is too savvy to buy these scenarios as anything other than shameless grandstanding in hopes of tattooing a name onto your consciousness. But the fact that, as I type this sentence, Ted Cruz's face beams from a cable news station on the TV behind me -- as it has all day -- reinforces my deep-seated belief that most of the media-consuming public are as gullible as a cross-eyed cat chasing a laser pointer.
