A top state lawmaker said Massachusetts residents should check with their local school districts to make sure their schools are safe in the wake of the shooting in Parkland, Fla.
House majority leader Ronald Mariano shepherded a 2014 bill through the state House of Representatives that tightened gun regulations and included provisions to increase school safety.
“I think [people] should check with their school superintendents to make sure that the preventive policies that we tried to institute are being done,” said Mariano, a Quincy Democrat.
The bill, which followed the Sandy Hook school shootings, was signed in August 2014. It included a number of provisions intended to make schools safer, Mariano’s office said, including:
■ Requiring schools to develop plans to address the general mental health needs of students and staff
■ Directing the Massachusetts School Building Authority to submit school construction blueprints to the local police and fire departments so they can be familiar with buildings in cases of emergency
■ Requiring at least two hours of suicide awareness and prevention training every three years for all licensed school personnel
■ Requiring annual review of school medical emergency response plans by local police and fire officials, and requiring schools to practice and evaluate such plans each school year
■ Increasing the penalty for carrying a firearm on school grounds
Mariano said lawmakers felt that emotionally unstable students could be identified. “We’ve got to start looking for warning signs with some of these kids,” he said.
He also said, “We wanted to create more of relationship with the police departments and the schools.”
The bill also directed the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a safe and supportive schools framework that districts could tailor to their own needs and implement. And it established a related commission to collaborate with DESE on improving and refining the framework, Mariano’s office said.
“If, and this is a big if . . . if the superintendents are following the strategies that we laid out in the bill, they’re a step ahead of other places in the nation,” Mariano said.
The bill mostly drew attention because of its tightening of gun regulations.
A report on the implementation of the law that was issued in October by experts from Northeastern University and UMass Boston found that the law “is in large part being implemented as originally envisioned by the Speaker of the House, Robert A. DeLeo, and other legislative leaders.”
Jacqueline Reis, a spokeswoman for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, said the Safe and Supportive Schools Commission is making “efforts to help make schools safe and supportive for all students.”
The academics’ report found that most communities had a “strong and positive relationship between the local law enforcement and the school district,” but it said in “a few cases” the relationship was not strong.
The report noted that many local officials agreed that school safety plans were important, but it noted that some were concerned about the anxiety created by emergency drills.
The report said a large number of local law enforcement and schools had adopted ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) training as part of their school safety plans. It said a handful of schools have adopted “a hybrid model” of the Run-Hide-Fight program, which puts more emphasis on incapacitating a shooter. The program has been criticized as promoting students to be “more active in a dangerous situation than many parents might prefer,” the report noted.
The experts recommended that local community leaders, law enforcement, and school officials should also look at the recommendations issued by the Massachusetts Task Force on School Safety and Security, which was formed by former governor Deval Patrick in January 2014 and issued a report in July 2014 before passage of the new law, and “begin to discuss ways to incorporate some of these recommendations that best addresses the concerns and needs of the local community.”
Thomas Scott, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, said districts have plans in place. But issues have come up with funding for building improvements “with safety in mind.”
“Schools continue to add safety entries, cameras and other measures, but it’s inconsistent across districts and schools,” he said in an e-mail.

Using a Multimeter
A rather simple, basic multimeter is enough to check and troubleshoot the electrical parts of the car. Such multimeters can be purchased at hardware or electronics stores. The picture shows a genuine noname multimeter although I saw the very same unit under many brand names and disguises. Noname meters may not be safe if used to measure higher voltages but in the 12 V network of the car there are hardly other risks than blowing some fuses.
They can measure voltage (Volt), current (Amper) and resistance (ohm). Accuracy is not of utmost importance, however, a somewhat more expensive but robust and reliable multimeter pays for itself in the long run.
Multimeters can be either analog or digital: the analog ones have a traditional needle gauge while digital ones—like the one on the picture--a simple LCD display of generally three or four digits. Digital meters are ubiquitous today and they withstand the rugged environment in a car much better; in addition, you don't have to learn how to read the scales.
A very important parameter of every voltmeter is its internal impedance (measured in ohms per volt). Less important if you measure in the conventional parts of the electrical system but if you want to look around near the electronic circuits (like injection or ABS ECUs), a meter with an impedance of 10 MΩ or more is essential. Analog meters are usually much better in this respect: even cheap ones generally have acceptable impedance, with cheap digital meters you have to be careful (for instance, the one on the picture is rather bad as well).
How to use the meter?
You probably have an instruction manual bundled with the meter but in any way, you'll need a battery inside the meter to supply current for resistance measurement and two probes (wires, usually one red and one black) which plug into the sockets on the meter. About the battery and its location you'll have to consult the manual.
The meter has some sort of a selector switch (a rotary one like on the picture or a series of buttons) to select the required mode of operation. Voltage is represented by V or U, current by A or I, resistance by Ω (uppercase Greek omega) or R. DC (or =) and AC (or ≈) are used as modifiers to denote direct and alternate current. Simpler multimeters have numerous settings, as shown on the picture: each area (DCV, ACV, DCA or Ω) has several settings. For instance, in the 20 DCV mode you can measure between zero and 20 V direct current, in the 20 kΩ mode between zero and 20 kohm or 20,000 ohm). More sophisticated meters have only DCV or Ω modes and they select their actual measuring range automatically, informing you of the unit selected on the display.
You will find at least two sockets on the multimeter, one will be marked COM (common), GND (ground) or will show the circuit diagram of the ground, an arrow consisting of three horizontal lines as shown on the picture. The markings will inform you which is the second socket to be used for measuring V, A or Ω.
What to measure?
You can measure practically everything in your car with this simple meter but at all costs avoid the high tension leads in the ignition system (the ignition coil, the distributor and the spark plugs): they operate at very high voltages which could result in a nasty or even lethal electrical shock. The meter is not capable of measuring such high voltages, anyway.
By measuring resistance you can check whether a wire is broken, a sensor is working or a switch is functional. It is very important to note that while measuring resistance, you have to switch off the current in the circuit (by switching the ignition off or, if this is not enough, by disconnecting the battery). The meter wants to use its own battery to send current into the circuit to be measured and if there is some other current in the circuit, this will falsify the readout completely and can even damage the meter.
Connect the probes to the ground and Ω sockets and select the largest setting of the Ohm mode. If the probes don't touch each other, the meter will show overflow, meaning that the value measured is larger than it can display (the meter on the picture shows a left aligned digit 1, other multimeters will have different ways of displaying this condition—if in doubt, check the manual). In this case, this signals that the resistance between the two probes (as they are not connected) is practically infinitely high. If you touch the two probes together, the circuit will be shorted and the readout drops to zero (or a very small value above zero).
While measuring in practice, you'll look for these two values: overflow or infinity means a broken wire, failing switch or bad grounding contact, while (near) zero an existing and good contact. Connect the two probes to the ends of the cable or connectors of the switch (unless you want to measure an electronic circuit with semiconductors inside, it doesn't make any difference which probe connects to which end) and observe the readout.
To check the functioning of a circuit, measuring voltage is generally more rewarding than measuring resistance. In this case you have to switch the circuit on. Follow the flow of current on the circuit diagram from the battery to the ground and check at each point or connector that you still have the board voltage (12 to 14 V). To accomplish this, connect the probes to the ground and V sockets and select the largest setting of the DC Volt mode (as you can be reasonably safe that there are no hundreds of volts in the car, you can start from the 20 V range or higher). Connect the GND probe to a known good ground (an exposed metal part, bolt or connector) and touch the point to be measured with the other probe while observing the display. If you happen to swap the two probes, the meter will measure all right but will inform you about the reversed polarity by displaying a negative value. As you go along the circuit, you need to find about the same voltage along the path everywhere (a small drop is due to the resistance of the wires and components and is of no consequence but a drop of several volts shows a bad contact). If the readout drops to zero, the fault lies between this point and the last one still with adequate voltage.
The need to measure current is rare, it mostly helps reveal current leaks that flatten the battery. As the battery is capable of supplying rather high currents which could surpass the capacity of the meter, blow fuses or even burn wires and cause fire, it is best left for experienced people who will know how to measure it themselves...

Thesis? Check. References? Check. Video —
What? You didn’t make a video for that final major project of the semester? Get with the 21! That’s right, English Majors are taking over all media. This isn’t just my obsession with our Film and New Media Studies minor. Two of our fine graduate students who are working on independent studies with me this semester both created music videos to encapsulate the essence of their projects. So far, Kira Brady’s video, a mash-up of Tipping the Velvet and the Brandi Carlile song, “I Was Made for You,” is only on Facebook, but Caitlin Pixley put her video on YouTube. She made a video to accompany Lady Gaga’s “Teeth” that encapsulates the argument for her paper on the appeal of much-maligned series like Twilight and Flowers in the Attic for young female readers.
I just love seeing these fantastic combinations of critical analysis and creative spark. Our students rock!

Sideways star Thomas Haden Church has stayed loyal to a film project produced by Paul Newman's goddaughter - because the late actor personally asked him to get involved.
Newman reached out to him before he passed away in 2008 and Haden Church is still committed to bringing Lucky Them, a film his hero was passionate about, to the screen.
He tells BlogTalkRadio.com, "It's with Toni Collette, and Johnny Depp is playing a small part as a rock star. I'm the sidekick guy that goes along with Toni to shoot a documentary about her finding this elusive guy, who may not be alive.
"I got involved with that movie several years ago when Paul Newman wrote me a letter, because his goddaughter, Emily Wachtel, is the producer and when Paul passed away (his wife) Joanne Woodward wrote me a letter asking if I would stay connected to the film.
"I got back to my ranch in the summer of 2006 and I was going through the caller Id on my phone and there was a 'P Newman' and an area code I didn't recognise, so I thought it was a phone solicitor. Then the place where my packages are collected called me and said, 'There's a Fedex with P Newman, Newmans Own on it.' It was the script and a lovely letter and I actually have both letters from he and Joanne framed together.
"He wrote, 'Hey, loved you in Sideways. Here's a movie that my goddaughter is producing, so could you give it a read. If you don't like it just throw it away! No hard feelings but call me anytime.' He passed away two years after that and I never had a chance to meet with him.
"They invited me a couple of times to come to Connecticut but there was something going on, so sadly I never got to meet him."

HOUSTON (CN) – Determined to open a chain of restaurants called The Krusty Krab, a Houston man’s attorney told the Fifth Circuit on Monday that Viacom does not have trademark rights to the fictional restaurant where cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants works the grill.
“Are you ready kids? ‘Aye Aye Captain!’ I can’t hear you. ‘Aye aye Captain!’ Ohh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? ‘SpongeBob SquarePants!’ Absorbent and yellow and porous is he, ‘SpongeBob Square Pants!’”
The theme song to the cartoon series “SpongeBob SquarePants” is ingrained in the minds of fans of the show that has developed a cult following of both children and adults since it premiered on Viacom’s Nickelodeon network in 1999.
Viacom has made more than $12 billion in merchandising revenue from the cartoon, which expanded to two feature films, released in 2004 and 2015, that grossed more than $470 million in ticket sales. The cartoon even inspired an eponymous musical that premiered on Broadway last December.
The cartoon often features SpongeBob at his workplace The Krusty Krab, where he serves up Krabby Patty burgers at a breakneck pace under the watchful eye of the restaurant’s penny-pinching owner Eugene H. Krabs.
Though Viacom has not trademarked the restaurant’s name, it sued IJR Capital Investments LLC in January 2016 for trademark infringement after learning from newspaper articles that IJR’s owner Javier Ramos Jr. was planning to open restaurants in Los Angeles and Houston called The Krusty Krab.
U.S. District Judge Gray Miller sided with Viacom a year ago, citing Fifth Circuit precedent that “ownership of a trademark is established by use, not by registration,” and finding that IJR’s use of the name “creates a likelihood of confusion” that consumers would believe Viacom had licensed its use to IJR.
To win a federal trademark infringement claim, a company must prove it has a protectable ownership interest in the mark and that a defendant’s use of the mark is likely to confuse consumers that there is an affiliation.
IJR appealed to the Fifth Circuit last May and a three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based appeals court heard arguments Monday at the Houston federal courthouse.
In a 40-minute hearing that touched on adjudicated trademark disputes involving the comic books “Superman” and “Conan the Barbarian,” the 1980s TV series “The Dukes of Hazzard,” and the Romulan race of extraterrestrial beings from “Star Trek,” IJR’s attorney Christopher Schaefer argued that Viacom cannot trademark an ornamental backdrop in a cartoon show.
Schaefer said that it would create a huge chilling effect on business owners if they could be held liable for infringement for doing nothing more than filing an intent-to-use trademark application.
“Now our client, all he’s done is filed an intent-to-use application for The Krusty Krab. We don’t have a restaurant, we don’t have a location, we don’t have a theme, we don’t have hardly anything, but still the court found a likelihood of confusion,” Schaefer said.

This year will see the 51st playing of the Super Bowl and it’s set to be one of the most thrilling games in the history of the competition. The game will take place at the NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas and this will be the second Super Bowl hosted by the stadium. Interestingly, the last time the Super Bowl was contested at the NRG Stadium in 2004, the New England Patriots were involved and they are back in 2017, to take on the Atlanta Falcons.
While New England Patriots have lifted the Lombardi Trophy four times, Atlanta Falcons are yet to win the Super Bowl by many onlookers expect them to put the record straight on Sunday. Despite the fact, Atlanta Falcons started the season as outsiders to win the Super Bowl, they have come on very strong and boast one of the most dynamic offenses ever seen in the NFL. Matt Ryan had come good at quarterback, not that he wasn’t good before but there was always the sense he was capable of more and this season he has delivered. The Falcons also have one of, if not the best wide receiver currently playing the sport, in Julio Jones. Jones is a player who is strong in all areas and wherever he picks up the ball on the field, he is a danger. This is something the Patriots will be aware of and Jones is sure to be singled out for some special attention.
As for the Patriots, they have a tried and tested formula in place, with the four-time Super Bowl winners of Tom Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick as coach. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they may have recorded the best numbers in terms of defence during this season but they must do without a key offensive weapon, as Rob Gronkowski will miss the game having had back surgery. Thankfully, with Belichick coaching the team, the Patriots are sure to respond with some new and intriguing offensive plays to test the Falcons defence.
The good news for the neutral NFL fan is we are set for a high-scoring, entertaining game. The Falcons failed only once this season to score 24 points or more and offensively, they are in great form. The talk is the Patriots and Brady want to make a point following deflategate, so expect to see them come out hard, to put on a display which will live long in the memory. They certainly have the coach and personnel to do just that but will it be enough to win the 2017 Super Bowl?
Ultimately, this is going to be a very close and dramatic Super Bowl to watch. Both quarterbacks are playing well, with Ryan in the form of his life and there is very little to separate the teams. Those who have been watching the Falcons closely over the past eight weeks believe they are stronger than the final scores in their games suggest and they will run out comfortable winners. A certain Mr. Brady may have something to say about that.

Photo From December 21, 2012: Myself and Vic Burnett @ The Candlelight Inn in Junction City
Blog Title And Link: Vic Burnett: The Weatherman Who Changed My Life.
The blog was still brand new and I had done The Greg and Dan Show on WMBD to promote it and help get a Peoria audience. At this point in time I had more people in New York reading it than people in Peoria!
While doing the interview I talked about how Vic Burnett was the guy who inadvertently changed my life without even knowing it. You can read the whole story at the link above, but I sometimes get the chills wondering what my life would be like had that not happened. You most certainly wouldn’t be reading this and who knows what I’d be doing now. I truly wonder if I’d still be alive.
I’m not saying that this has been a “wonderful life” but it certainly has been interesting and unpredictable and none of that would’ve happened with out Vic Burnett. So once again I thank Vic for putting me on what’s been a weird and wacky 33 year ride! It taught me to do things that are uncomfortable and odd because you never know where it will lead you and that’s the best life-lesson one can learn.
Thank you Vic Burnett.

When it seems like one thing simple to perform, producing your very own colloidal silver coming from a colloidal crystal electrical generator does seem like one thing simple to do, but (once more) it is not. While it might appear like something basic to do, colloidal water which includes silver ions may result in major adverse effects like allergic reactions, rashes, nausea, diarrhea and also depression. Colloidal crystals which are actually generated through colloidal crystal generators carry out not include any of these bad chemical elements. As an alternative they contain the exact same natural elements found in attribute, that makes them very secure.
Colloidal silver, which colloidal silver is actually created by a crystal colloid electrical generator is actually extremely secure and also very clean. There are actually no severe chemical substances that will definitely injure your health and wellness as well as induce you needless pain.
It has been actually found out over the years that colloidal crystals have terrific potential for healing. Many individuals are actually now relying on colloid silver as a way to ensure that their skin layer stays flexible and smooth. The bright side is that while you are actually doing it, you’ll be actually taking nothing else. Several are actually still worried about the safety of this method, and also wonder how to create a colloid silver electrical generator safely.
An excellent colloidal silver treatment colloidal electrical generator utilizes pure natural silver minerals. The main reason why they are natural is that the method of colloid production includes boiling water and after that including a small amount of silver ions. Lots of folks are actually paniced that considering that colloids include such percentages of silver, they will not manage to receive their bodies to absorb the minerals.
When you include pure colloidal crystals to your alcohol consumption water and also then incorporate pure colloidal water to your skin, you will certainly observe that your body system soaks up these colloid salts at a much more significant price than if you were to take ordinary mineral water. You need to take note that several of them will definitely try like lemon or lime if you are actually still worried regarding the high quality of these minerals. This is actually as a result of the all natural homes of the minerals.
Due to the fact that of the qualities of their silver, they are quite successful at eliminating micro-organisms, viruses as well as tumors from the skin layer. There are many methods which make use of colloid silver as a component in wound dressing as well as creams.
Another colloidal silver treatment perk of the colloidal crystal generator is actually that they have actually been actually confirmed to become remarkably efficient in treating minor cuts as well as scrapes, which don’t answer well to typical drugs. Due to the fact that they have such low side effects, they are actually additionally often recommended for individuals who experience allergies, burns and cuts. It is a great item which offers a secure and efficient treatment substitute.
Lots of individuals likewise believe that a colloidal silver electrical generator is actually much more efficient than various other skin layer products because the particles on their own pass through deeply right into the skin layer. If there is inflammation, the generator will get rid of the microorganisms and remove it entirely.
The only complication with colloidal silver generators is that they have a tendency to be pretty expensive. The price of colloidal silver itself isn’t that high, but since it is actually utilized in the generator, you will definitely have to buy additional of it to make the very same volume of outcomes. as you will from a mineral supplement.
You must make use of the very same caution with care to the type of silver you obtain if you do determine to utilize colloidal silver in your own private care items. Considering that the silver itself can stain specific factors, it is an excellent idea to see to it that the silver fashion jewelry you wear is actually non-porous. Likewise, you must stay away from buying colloidal silver jewelry which is not FDA permitted to stop skin irritation.
There are currently a number of various styles offered on the market considering that colloidal silver generators are actually used extensively in the cosmetic industry. You ought to consistently make certain that you are actually acquiring colloidal silver that has actually been actually created by a professional firm, as opposed to obtaining one which has a high focus of silver ions.
When it looks like one thing so basic to perform, producing your personal colloidal silver with a homemade colloidal electrical generator in your home has many hidden dangers that are typically forgotten and over-looked. Several chemicals contained in water, featuring those that make up normally occurring difficult water, can easily respond with silver fragments in colloidal silver, triggering the silver bits to engage with each other as well as form silver aggregates, which can obstruct the filter on your water heater or drainpipe unit. This can be a large health and wellness risk, yet thankfully, this is not a worry of mine since I am actually a residence user as well as certainly not an industrial chemical user.
Some commercial users, especially the ones who make use of colloidal silver generators, possess a considerably bigger threat to stress approximately. In these cases, the threats include:
Water-borne health problems – While these may appear like rather safe points to fret regarding when it comes to consuming contaminated water, they may in fact be incredibly significant. Certainly not merely will it aid guarantee your health and that you will not obtain unwell from consuming alcohol the water, but it additionally reveals that the water-borne health condition was actually found in the water in the first spot.
Other potential sickness – As a matter of fact, some of these sickness can additionally be actually related to the reality that the water itself is actually presently infected. For instance, while cryptosporidium as well as giardia are each water-borne ailments, they may likewise be brought on by bacteria, lead and also various other metallics in the water.

Superintendent Dana Monogue shared information about the metrics the District will use in determining when MCPASD can move from virtual to a blended-hybrid instructional model at the Board of Education regular meeting on Monday, Aug. 10.
Monogue said MCPASD will move to a blended-hybrid model when:
- Dane County moves to a medium rating by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services AND Public Health Madison Dane County moves Dane County from Phase 2 to Phase 3 in its Forward Dane Plan.
- OR when MCPASD receives specific requirements and guidance from either of those organizations.
WDHS recently released a map giving a rating related to COVID-19 for each county in Wisconsin. Six counties received a medium rating, while the others, including Dane County, received a high rating. Dane County rated high because of burden (case rate), activity level, and trajectory, she noted. There weren't any counties that received a low rating.
The District will need two weeks to arrange transportation schedules and make sure spaces are set up to adhere to social distancing requirements once it is determined MCPASD can move to a hybrid model, she said.
Monogue also showed the Board the dashboard from PHMDC and noted Dane County still has a red rating in two areas. The county can't move from Phase 2 to Phase 3 until all of the metrics are yellow or green.
Neither PHMDC or WDHS has issued school-specific requirements or guidance although there are reports details could be released this week. As a result, Monogue noted, school districts are being asked to determine what information to use to determine how and when to bring students back into school buildings.
She shared chart showing which Dane County districts are starting virtually and which are using a hybrid model to start the school year. She noted four are using a hybrid model and no district is bringing middle or high school students into buildings to start the 2020-21 school year.
Monogue noted the School Board meeting on Sept. 28 will include a report on how the school year is going and where the District is relative to transitioning to the blended-hybrid model. She also said this will give MCPASD time to examine how districts opening in Dane County and around the state are doing.

June 27 — A former waiter who was fired when he refused to participate in a tip-sharing arrangement he believed was illegal may proceed with his wrongful discharge lawsuit, a Minnesota appeals court ruled ( Burt v. Rackner, Inc. , 2016 BL 204606, Minn. Ct. App., No. A15-2045, 6/27/16 ).
The decision is a reminder that breaking tip-pool rules can expose an employer to lawsuits based on more than just wage-and-hour violations.
A lower court held that the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act doesn't allow a lawsuit by someone who says he was fired for refusing to comply with an unlawful requirement. The June 27 Minnesota Court of Appeals decision revives Todd Burt's claim against Bunny’s Bar & Grill.
Burt said he was fired because he wouldn't share his tips with those who bus tables. The requirement to share violates an MFLSA provision against requiring employees “to contribute any or all of the gratuity to a fund or pool operated for the benefit of the employer or employees,” he said.
The MFLSA allows aggrieved workers to sue when their employer breaks the law. This right of action “broadly applies to any violation,” Judge John R. Rodenberg wrote for the court.
Allowing Burt to proceed against his former employer avoids a situation in which an employee who complies with a prohibited requirement may recover but someone who is fired for his refusal to go along with it “is just out of luck,” Rodenberg said.
“That position is inconsistent” with “any common-sense understanding of the legislature’s intention in broadly providing employees a civil remedy for MFLSA violations,” Rodenberg said.
Bassford Remele PA represented Burt. Arthur, Chapman, Kettering, Smetak & Pikala PA represented Bunny's.

33.6 percent of patients reported not taking medication as prescribed to reduce costs
FRIDAY, March 22, 2019 (HealthDay News) — The number of adults reporting the use of strategies, such as requesting a lower-cost medication or not using medication as prescribed, to reduce prescription drug costs remained stable in 2015 to 2017, according to a March data brief published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics.
Robin A. Cohen, Ph.D., from the National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Maryland, and colleagues used data from the National Health Interview Survey to examine changes over time in the percentage of adults aged 18 to 64 years who were prescribed medication and reported using selected strategies to reduce prescription drug costs in the previous 12 months. The strategies included asking one’s doctor for a lower-cost medication, not taking medication as prescribed, or using alternative therapies.
The researchers found that the percentage of adults who used these strategies in the previous 12 months decreased from 2013 through 2015 and remained stable from 2015 through 2017. Among adults prescribed medication in 2017, women were more likely than men to use these strategies. Strategies for reducing prescription drug costs were most commonly practiced among those who were uninsured versus those with private insurance or Medicaid in 2017; 39.5, 33.6, and 13.9 percent asked for a lower-cost medication, did not take the medication as prescribed, and used alternative therapies, respectively.
“Cost-saving strategies to reduce prescription drug costs may have implications for health status and have been associated with increased emergency room use and hospitalizations,” the authors write.

The airline launched in 1993. For its first 23 years of flying, it was named Aéreo Calafia until it rebranded to Calafia Airlines in 2016. Along with the rebrand, the airline created a new logo but kept its recognisable blue and red colours on all of its branding.
The airline currently specialises in regular flights to the Baja California Peninsula and the Mexican Pacific coast, as well as offering charter flights and tours. At this time, it only offers domestic flights within Mexico. However, launching international flights has been discussed by the airline in the past and is a part of its long-term goals.
Calafia Air flies to several destinations within Mexico, including Cedros Island, Chihuahua, Guaymas, La Paz, Loreto, Mazatlán, Tijuana and more.

Some great new franchises have been generated during the last few years of the video game industry. Dead Space immediately comes to mind as well as Ubisoft’s steal-action Assassin’s Creed series. But what if Assassin’s Creed was a PlayStation 2 game instead?
Recently, ex-Ubisoft employee Jonathan Jacques-Belletête shared some details regarding the original conception of the Assassin’s Creed series. During the interview Jonathan stated the following:
“I worked on Assassin’s Creed, which was great… this amazing version that I was the art director on for the PS2 and Xbox 1…”
Jonathan also proposed that the original Assassin’s Creed concepts were used to design Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, the first handheld iteration of the series. Given that the original title debuted in late 2007, it was released just in time for the new console generation. The PlayStation 2 surely would have compromised the open-world environments that have made the series what it is today.

About a month ago I was asked to write an article about music instruction for a local neighborhood website. They were requesting answers to common questions posed by parents considering lessons for their children. It just so happened I ran into some wonderful articles addressing this same topic so I’ve woven them in within my post below. -Leila
Is there ever a day that doesn’t include music? Think of the moments that would not be the same without music–in the car, at the fitness club, during Sunday worship, at the movies, on the TV, at the big game and on your smart device. Admit it, imagining life without music would be…unimaginable.
Although not everyone is destined to be a concert artist, every human being can be a music maker and enthusiast. Once one explores creating music on an instrument and invests in lessons, an appreciation grows which then instills an admiration for a lifetime. Giving your child or yourself the gift of learning music on any instrument is something to treasure but finding the right teacher, the perfect fit to suit your interest level is not always easy. Below are answers to some of the most common questions posed by parents who want to know more about the process of learning music and finding the right teacher.
Note: these answers can be applicable to adults looking for a music teacher as well–you are always young enough to learn!
How can I tell when my child is ready for lessons?
You may be unaware of your child’s innate readiness for making music but there are some signs that should help you make that assessment. Here are specific suggestions that will assist you prior to embarking on a music teacher hunt: [···]

Some people see a glass half empty; others, one half full. Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner, clearly a member of the former camp, thinks it's time for Congress to seize on a glass full of high prices and “reform” farm programs.
With market prices are at or near record levels for most of the major commodities, some economists are predicting net cash farm income could exceed $85 billion in 2007, an increase of $18 billion over the previous year, Conner notes.
“This kind of success does give us an opportunity, we believe, to enact some reforms that are necessary for us to maintain the strength of the farm economy we are seeing today,” Conner told the Agribusiness Club of Washington, whose members include the Washington lobbyists of the major commodity organizations.
“That is our goal, ladies and gentlemen: To maintain this strength and not have it simply represent a peak followed by a cliff, that some would have us believe, will come immediately after.”
Apologizing in advance in case he offended any of the commodity organizations with his comments, Conner said the farm bill that passed the Senate by a vote of 79-14 a few days before he spoke “falls far, far short of where we need to be.”
He called both the farm bill passed by the House last July and the bill approved by the Senate in December “fundamentally flawed.” (Both Houses passed their respective bills by the highest margins in many years.)
“Neither one provides the kind of reforms that we believe represent forward-looking farm policy at a time of record strength in our farm economy,” said Conner. “If we can't help agriculture become more market-driven and competitive now, when farmers are enjoying the kind of economic times we have today, we have to ask: Is there ever a time?”
Conner repeated Bush administration claims that the House and Senate versions of the farm bill would raise taxes to pay for expanded programs for the first time since 1933. “I can't imagine a time when we have $85 billion of net farm income to be talking about this being a good time to taxes.”
According to administration analysts, the Senate bill would increase taxes by $15 billion to pay for farm bill programs, including a new $5-billion permanent disaster assistance program that would allow Congress to avoid having to fight with the administration over ad hoc disaster relief.
Administration officials have also said the Senate bill contains $22 billion in “unfunded commitments and budget gimmicks,” although Senate leaders claim their bill would cost $2 billion less than the farm bill proposed by the administration in January 2007.
“The House bill also relied upon tax increases of $7 billion to fund certain farm bill priorities while claiming an additional $5 billion of illusionary savings by changing the timing of payments. And of course all of these illusionary savings do not change one dollar of federal government obligations.
(House leaders have said their $7 billion would come from closing tax loopholes that allow foreign corporations to move their earnings offshore to avoid U.S. taxes and increased royalties from offshore oil drilling. Such practices as the former are permitted under reciprocal agreements with foreign governments.
The secretary also criticized the House and the Senate for failing to significantly lower the adjusted gross income eligibility ceiling that currently bars farm program payments to individuals with an AGI of more than $2.5 million. Both the House and Senate bills reduce the adjusted gross income ceiling but not to the $200,000 level recommended by the administration.
“We estimated that our change would remove about 38,000 of the wealthiest Americans from our farm program rolls,” he said. “We're simply saying we shouldn't take middle income tax dollars and give it in the form of an income support payment to the richest Americans.
Conner said Congress could save more than $1 billion by the change. “I continue to be amazed at the opposition there has been to this. I believe we risk jeopardizing our entire agricultural safety net in the future unless we are willing to say to the richest Americans, “No. Find other means.”
He also criticized the House and Senate for increasing the loan rates and the target prices on nearly half a dozen crops, although the changes were sought by a number of commodity organizations.
“Simply put, that is trade-distorting, and we are going to hear about it from our WTO trading partners,” he noted. “Is there anyone in this room who thinks we will not pay an enormous price internationally for this action? And all because a few farm groups who have long-standing policies favoring higher loan rates.”
Conner cited the days-earlier announcement of an opinion by a WTO Compliance Panel suggesting that changes to the U.S. cotton program were insufficient to bring the United States into conformity with the new WTO standards.
He pledged to continue to defend U.S. farm programs, including the cotton program, against WTO challenges. “We have worked to bring our programs into full compliance with our WTO recommendations following the original cotton case, and we believe that our support and our export credit guarantee programs are consistent and in line with our agreements with the WTO.”
For those reasons, he said, President Bush's senior advisors are recommending he veto the farm bill unless significant changes are made in the House-Senate conference committee that will be convened to resolve the differences in the two versions of the bill.
“We need a farm bill that will allow us to make continued progress in areas like conservation, renewable energy, food and nutrition programs as well,” he said. “All this year we've made the case to significantly expand the funding for research and development of renewable energy, particularly as it relates to cellulosic ethanol.”
He acknowledged that renewable energy sources have come under criticism in recent weeks for supposedly increases feed and food prices, claims that have been refuted by farm groups such as the National Corn Growers Association.
“Let me just tell you, I don't think there's been one moment of waiver from the people you talk to out on the ground,” said Conner. “There's strong support of our country producing more of our energy from sources here at home. That has not wavered one bit in the countryside.”
The House and the Senate bill recognize this, he said. “Chairman Peterson actually provided more than what we recommended, and we appreciate that effort. The Senate added a strong energy title as well. So we need to give them a lot of credit for recognizing that vision for the future.”
Senate leaders from farm states have acknowledged the administration's displeasure with the bill but say they believe they can prevail.
“Passage of the farm bill in the Senate was a big victory,” said Conrad “But we face tough negotiations with the House and an administration that is unfriendly to rural America.”

ODM Party members have decried short-changing by Azimio la Umoja partners through the new dictatorship form sugar-coated by the name of direct and indirect nomination.
This follows the emergence of Polycarp Igathe who is a Kenyan businessman, politician, and corporate executive into the City politics to contest for Nairobi’s top seat.
According to Philosopher Makaduol Swa who is contesting for the Kabondo West Ward rep position, Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta is supporting the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for personal interests.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta used Kangema MP Muturi Kigano wrongly and undemocratically to finance Muturi Indirect and Direct Political Parties Nominations to kill Democracy and Trade on the party on the highest bidder, Capitalism Political. Now President Uhuru Kenyatta is back finishing Raila and this is the suspicion I threw to Kenyans early in the year. You people are you not seeing Raila being whitewashed in Nairobi politics and appointment for running mate being dictated by President Uhuru Kenyatta?” asked Dr. Makaduol.
Mulembe Nation on Wednesday gave Mr. Odinga up to Friday to issue Tim Wanyonyi with the certificate to vie for Nairobi Governor’s seat through ODM Party.
Mulembe team led by Makadara MP Goerge Aladwa, former Nairobi Speaker Beatrice Elachi, and ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna have castigated the decision by Uhuru to install last-minute comer Igathe in City politics disarranging the City politics.
“Selling Igathe to Nairobians is like giving the Kenya Kwanza candidate Johnson Sakaja free entry to City hall, Igathe cannot get even one hundred votes. He is not the choice of Kenyans,” they said.
They asked what would be their portion in the next government if denied this position as a community.


A group of researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology discovered an ancient bird fossil which was preserved with an unlaid egg. Scientists believe the discovery could shed more light on how vertebrates evolved in ancient times.
The findings from the research led by Alida Bailleul and Jingmai O’Connor were published in the March 20 issue of Nature Communications. The research is also interesting because the specimen represents a newly-discovered species called Avimaia schweitzerae. The specimen was discovered at a 110-million-year-old site in northwestern China. The species belonged to a group of animals called enantiornithes, also known as the “opposite birds.”
Researchers say analyzing an eggshell fragment has revealed a lot about the female bird’s reproductive system and that it wasn’t “behaving normally.” Scientists found that the eggshell is made of two layers, unlike normal healthy bird eggs. The results suggest the egg remained in the abdomen for too long.
These Are John Buckingham’s Stock Picks For 2021
The economy remains in distress, although there are signs of recovery underway. John Buckingham of Kovitz, editor of The Prudent Speculator newsletter, has found that value stocks typically outperform coming out of economic downturns. Thus, he argues that this is an excellent time to be a value investor. Q4 2020 hedge fund letters, conferences and Read More
Researchers also found that the eggshell was thinner than a sheet of paper, another detail that shows the egg didn’t have the same proportions as regular healthy eggs. Moreover, the research suggests that the bird likely died because of issues with the egg, referring to an “egg-binding” condition, in which the egg stays trapped inside the body of a mother. It’s a deadly condition that often affects smaller birds exposed to stress.
Electron microscopy conducted on the ancient fossil reveals that the cuticle, or outer protective layer of an eggshell, consists of small spherules of minerals. This cuticle morphology is likely found in birds that bury their eggs.
Female birds which are about to lay eggs have unique bone tissue that can be found in the spaces of their skeleton. The bone serves as a calcium store deposited for the developing eggshell. Researchers suggest this tissue can be found in other fossils and some non-avian dinosaurs. However, this can’t be confirmed 100%.
When researchers analyzed the fragment of leg bone from the ancient bird fossil, they found the medullary bone, making Avimaia the only Mesozoic fossil with additional evidence of reproductive activity (in the form of the unlaid egg) which supports the presence of the medullary bone.
“This Mesozoic bird specimen is the only one I know of that preserves both an egg and the medullary bone,” University of Hong Kong paleontologist Michael Pittmann, not affiliated with the new study, told Gizmodo. “It provides the best evidence yet of a female early bird that was reproductively active. The fossil also provides invaluable insight into the reproduction of Enantiornithines, a diverse group of early birds that dominated the Cretaceous and hatched ‘out of the egg running’ and perhaps ready to fly too.”
