Putin is the second prominent European ruler to visit China in a week, After French President Jacques Chirac visited last weekend sealed nearly $5 billion worth of deals in one of the world's fastest-growing economies.

The same-sex marriage postal survey is almost upon us. For some, the consequences of this vote will be life-changing. It’s obviously despicable that our government has outsourced responsibility for its people’s of civil liberties to an opinion poll. But since they have, decent Australians must do everything we can to fight for the human rights of some of our most vulnerable citizens: evangelical Christians who work in the wedding industry.
Eddie Mabo. Rosa Parks. Nelson Mandela. These people all have one thing in common – they were sooks. But were they flogs? If the Adam Goodes saga has taught us one thing, it’s that sooks aren’t necessarily flogs and flogs aren’t necessarily sooks, though either are usually both. But what it hasn’t taught it us is that white Australians who boo an Aboriginal activist are probably racists, because how can they be when Adam Goodes is a sook and a flog and Rita Panahi is an Indian?
In the three months since I wrote the first half of my musical profiles on the Crossbench Senators (which were pretty obsolete even at the time) a lot of crazy shit has gone down in Canberra. Australia’s Woodstock Floriade has come and gone, Australia’s Disneyland Cockington Green has done a roaring school holiday trade and Eric Abetz has learnt to control silver with his mind. So where the Corangamite have I been? Well, mostly stuck on a horrible writing procrasticoaster, riding in circles around the rickety well-worn tracks of my limbic system while a sneering coat-hanger of a carny refused to budge the breaks. But the other reason for the wormwood-bitter pang of my absence is that each of the dozen times I’ve sat down to patter out this post I’ve been so overwhelmed with tedium and despair at the state of our Parliament that I’ve shut down into a drooling Palmeralysis. So, after a not-insignificant amount of pulling with the aid of needle nosed pliars and fermented grape juice, I present to you – my teeth.
Jacqui Lambie (Palmer United Party)

An Explanation of Fees
New Practice Consultation Fee
The standard initial and follow up consultation fees charged by our rooms for all patients are in line with the Australian Medical Associated recommended fee schedule and can be partly claimable through Medicare.
- Initial consultation: $210.00 Medicare rebate: $75.05
- Follow-up consultation: $110.00 Medicare rebate: $37.70
- All Concession Card holders will relieve a 20% discount off the total consultation fee.
I offer a discounted rate to health card and concession card holder.
If you are an overseas patient from a country where there is no Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Australia, you will not be eligible for Medicare and you will be responsible for payment of all fees and services. Non-Medicare patients are billed for inpatient and outpatient services regardless if they choose public or private admission.
Fees for surgical procedure:
Please be advised that there may be a gap on some surgical procedures. This will be discussed with you at the time of your consultation.
Payment is to be made in full by either EFTPOS (bank card) or correct monies as we do not keep a change facility. Medicare rebates will be claimed on your behalf and Medicare will reimburse you within 2-5 days.
You will be advised about the item numbers for your procedure(s) and you will be provided with a financial letter which states the surgical procedure charges for your kind consideration and review.
OTHER POSSIBLE DISBURSEMENTS
There may be other charges involved in your care depending on which course of action you choose. You need to also check with your health fund to see what is covered for additional areas of service. Potential areas of cover are:

Pavla C 72060: Fiat G.91R3 cockpit set
|resin, for the Revell kit|
Now this is my idea of a resin cockpit set. Minimal parts and maximum detail for the scale. No fussing with little bits and pieces with this one. Just four parts; a cockpit tub with side consoles, a well detailed Martin Baker ejection seat, a nicely done instrument panel with gun sight and a control stick.
The set includes full painting information as well as assembly instructions, though there isn't really that much to it. This is designed for the more recent Revell kit, but I bet you could get it to fit some of those older ones from Airfix and the like if you tried.
As with all Pavla resin pieces, the detail work is superb and a major improvement over the kit parts.

I may be down tonight, but I'm not out. I had to do something familiar that I do well (cooking), and my outdoor kitchen seemed to be the place to make it all happen.
I had a bundle of leftover grilled corn which needed a revival, so I husked it all up and smeared some butter so a good dose of seasoning would stick around after it got reheated. Hmm, what shall I season with though? What do I use regularly which seems to go with everything? And what did I just so happen to have a bit of leftover from one of my last smokes? None other than Red Bell Pepper rub...yea...oh, I had to try it!
Buttered and dusted heavily with RBP on two sides:
No smoke going on here, not by definition at least...mainly just a 275* steam in the Smoke Vault 24:
I had this craving for flirting with being handcuffed by the Cholesterol Police, and the best tools I had to raise some attention were shrimp and bacon...heavily seasoned with...yep, RBP, inside and out.
Yea, these lil' critters just look naked without a wrap:
One side dusted with Red Bell Pepper rub, only I ran the blend though my grinder to powder it up finely before hitting the shrimp:
Second side dusted, and wrapped in hickory smoked goodness...my youngest daughter looked like she needed something to occupy herself with for a bit, so I asked her to do the shrimp/bacon prep for me while I got started on the rice (I think), anyway, she lended a hand in this, and did a fine piece of work getting the shrimp wrapped up safe & snug:
And, of course a nice rub after a wrap to put the finishing touches on, and it's into the vault along with the sweet corn:
Nope, no smoke pan in there...just gotta get some high temp steam to the corn to bring it back to life again:
For the steamed veggie.rice dish, I started with parboiled rice...this was soaked in salt water for 4 hours, covered and steamed for about 8-10 minutes, then a frozen veggie blend added, returned to a simmering temp for about 4-5 mintues while slowly and gently folding every minute or so to get it mixed together, then removed from heat and kept covered while residual heat heat finished the veggies to a nice firm texture. I waited until the rice was aldente before adding the veggies:
Back to the meat of the meal...oh, no pics grilling the pork sausage patties...I did get this one though:
The corn was still pretty good after the reheat in the vault...a few pieces that were overcooked on the grill just didn't have anything left in 'em though as they still were a bit dry and chewy, but some of us like it that way...the shrimp was really good...had to get used ot the texture of the bacon being steamed and not getting crisp.
Not much to it, but made a nice meal in my out door kitchen anyway...and, yes, even the rice & veggies were cooked outdoors.
Great smokin', grillin' & steamin' to all!

The paper was based on the Bachelor's thesis by Jil Ehnis, in which she developed a "robust and universally applicable mathematical algorithm for modeling any non-linear logistics processes".
This software algorithm was developed so that it can also be used according to the same mathematical rules to solve other problems in distribution such as the modeling of any logistics process for tracking packages for RFID applications. It can also be used to model any sensor response curves in a smart environment as well as in battery management applications for the analysis of lithium-ion batteries in E-mobility based on standard micro-controllers.
Rutronik congratulates Jil Ehnis on her impressive achievement. At a small ceremony, Andreas Mangler, Dominik Schmidt and Hans-Christoph Behler presented her with the award along with a small token of appreciation for her remarkable work.

In 1967, Stax Records sent its top artists on a first-ever tour of Europe, now known as the legendary 1967 Stax/Volt European Tour.
Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that milestone event that catapulted Stax into the international limelight, the Stax Music Academy (SMA) has been invited to follow in their footsteps with its first-ever tour of France and England.
SMA has created a special concert show to celebrate the 1967 tour with soul stirring tunes originally performed and recorded by Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, Eddie Floyd, Arthur Conley, Booker T. & the MGs, and others.
Tour dates: July 2017
9th Manchester: Band on the Wall
11th Cahors, France: Cahors Blues Festival (France’s oldest running Blues Festival)
13th Bordeaux, France: Relâche Music Festival
15th London: Kings Place
16th Hitchin, UK: Hitchin Town Hall (SOULD OUT)
17th Bristol: Rivertown at Colston Hall
18th Milton Keynes: The Stables
21st and 22nd Gateshead: SummerTyne Festival
Plans are also in the works for youth cultural exchanges, educational opportunities, sightseeing, and more, including an opening reception for a July 19th Stax Music Academy/Memphis photography exhibit at London’s Leica Camera Gallery by renowned photographer Simon Emmett, who spent part of May 2016 photographing the students in Memphis.
SMA will be opening for Stax legend Mavis Staples in Bristol, UK and for Stax legend William Bell at the Gateshead Summertyne Festival in Newcastle/Gateshead, UK. Preparations for the trip have included a master class with yet another Stax legend, Booker T. Jones of Booker T. & the MGs, who was on the original 1967 tour.
While SMA has performed internationally in Italy, Australia, and Berlin, this commemorative tour of France, Ireland, and England will play to audiences who are lifelong Stax Records fans but don’t know about how the Soulsville Foundation is carrying the legacy of Stax Records into the future through these underserved young people. It is the only school in the world teaching young people the art form of American soul music and “The Memphis Sound” that was created in Memphis during the 1960s and 1970s, which is a worldwide phenomenon.
The majority of the Stax Music Academy students attend via financial need-based scholarships the Soulsville Foundation provides. For many, this represents the first opportunity to travel beyond Memphis. SMA travel experiences have proven to have significant impact on the students’ desire to succeed in life, to boost their self-confidence and self-esteem, and to make them think more globally about their lives.

SummaryThe Finest First-Person Shooter Ever Designed.
The GoodEverything. To put it into perspective, if this game were released tomorrow, in its current state, it would be better than 99% of the games released all year (well, 2001). Even with the archaic graphics. Even with the dated AI technology. The core gameplay is so damn *good*. In fact, the gameplay is more varied and detailed than today's modern classic, Half-Life.
Another way to put it into perspective: A much more well known game released about the same time as System Shock is Doom. Doom is more widely known, and is more widely praised, as shown by the accolades for Serious Sam, an evolutionary throwback of a game releases recently.
Think of Doom's graphics and gameplay: Both are very, *very* dated. The gameplay is simple, easy, and dumb as a post. Shoot, run, shoot, run, hit switch to end level. Ad nauseum. Exciting in its day, but modern games (some of them) have evolved past that point. The wonderful thing about System Shock was that its gameplay was *already* evolved, almost ten years ago.
It has a coherent, interesting story that is integral and important every moment of the game. The story is enriched by audio logs scattered about the station, e-mails, and scraps of information gleaned from the stations computer net. The logs, presented in mostly well-acted audio, do *wonders* in fleshing out the game world. They tell the stories of hopeless groups of survivors trying to fight the mutant and cyborg onslaught. You hear their hopes for stopping the computer SHODAN, and pick up their fight. All the while, you receive e-mails from your contact on earth, instructing you and guiding you through the station. You also receive mail from your nemesis, SHODAN, as she mocks you, threatens you, and occasionally, fears you. She is present throughout the entire game. While approaching a CPU node with mayhem on your mind, she chirps in "Enter that room, hacker, and it will be your *grave*. You hesitate, but continue. And indeed, when you destroy the nodes, she sends a small army of cyborgs to do you in. She repeatedly ambushes you, taunting you in her computer-psychotic voice. It's unnerving, and the effect has not been repeated in any game I've played, sequel included.
System Shock's interface is also leagues ahead of Doom's. While much more complicated and cumbersome, it allows you to do *so* much more. You can lean around corners, you can crouch and even crawl on you belly, you can jump across chasms, you can look up and down. Aiming is also more interesting. You use a cursor to aim your guns and fire them. It does take a while to get used to it after years of mouselook, but I do like the more realistic effect of the aiming cursor. In addition, the recoil effects of the weapons is *perfect*. You feel like you're firing off a powerful machine gun when you rip off a burst from the Skorpion. The view bows back, and as you swing the gun from side to side the recoil swings with it. It's an amazing effect, particularly from such an aged game. It makes using the fully automatic a more visceral experience.
Finally, the gameplay goes *FAR* beyond the "find key, find door" gameplay that has been so prevalent since the release of Doom. You have a specific, detailed purpose in this game. No ambiguous alien invasions, no purposeless mazes masquerading as "levels." The enemy, SHODAN, is always plotting some insidious fate for earth, and you, as the hacker, go about the various levels attempting to stop her. Never do you wonder "why am I here? What *exactly* am I doing?" Each level, from the medical deck to the executive deck, serves an obvious logical purpose. Even the mazes are presented within good context. To put the gameplay into perspective, only *very* recently have FPS games struggled to break the gameplay barriers that Doom presented, while System Shock *obliterated* them almost TEN years ago!
This game defines what it is to be a classic. It is nearly perfect in every way, and is the epitome of the PC gaming experience. It is my opinion that computer gaming would be much better today if System Shock had been received the same Doom was, as it's a considerably better game that would hold its own today.
The BadVery little. The graphics are outdated, obviously, and the sound and AI technology is lacking. Also, the level design is very blocky, by today's standards. However, those are all limitations due to age: considering it by 1994 standards, the game's technological aspects are brilliant.

A collection of fantasy-centric lore comics inspired by 'unknown' Gods of the past, all around the world. Their time to be told is now
Gods: Untold is a passion project from Paganini Stories. It was the impetus for the creation of our company and what made us get into drawing comics together. We created many stories about Gods over the years, we love myth and lore and fairytales, and often found ourselves looking to uncover Gods from around the world we knew little about. Eventually, it dawned on us that this would be an excellent opportunity for others to do the same.
24 unique, 4-page stories from 24 creators or teams of creators.
152 pages of full-color stories
A4 Premium Paperback, cover Illustrated by Benjamin Paulus
Soft-touch and gold foil finish

Well, in my effort to get a tiki bar and to clear out things I no longer use, I am making two sacrifices from my beatles collection: 4 1963 Beatles stamps and my copy of the Paul Mccartney death hoax magazine. I bought them almost 20 years ago and it's time to let them go! Sigh. I guess this means I am serious about decluttering. They went up on Ebay tonight.
Also, I posted an autographed Bob Feller photo a relative gave us as a gift. I hate to regift, but we really hate baseball....Hey,someone bid on the baseball stuff already!

Jericho, the oasis at the center of Israeli-Palestinian violence
By Joan Mas Autonell
Jericho, West Bank, Mar 14 (EFE).- Jericho, a Palestinian oasis where calm used to reign, has unexpectedly become a flashpoint for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with spasms of violence not seen in decades.
A popular vacation spot for Palestinians and a tourist attraction for Christian pilgrims, the West Bank city has been one of the most peaceful areas in the region, remaining stable amid the ups and downs of over five decades of Israeli occupation.
However, the soaring violence in the West Bank that left more than 80 Palestinians killed in violent incidents with Israelis so far this year has spread to the city, in what many analysts say is a sign of growing discontent among the Palestinian population.
Tension is currently concentrated in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, where an armed resistance group made up of local youths emerged at the beginning of the year. According to Israel, it has been attacking Israeli settlements and preparing for other assaults.
This had led to a series of clashes in Jericho as intense as those in Nablus and Jenin, the epicenters of the Palestinian armed resistance in the northern West Bank.
Dalal Iriqat, a Palestinian lawyer who grew up in Jericho, says that “what was happening in the camp seemed very strange at first.”
But this “reflects years of apartheid and racism” established by Israel, she tells Efe, adding that conditions have worsened with the current right-wing government helmed by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Between January and March, the city saw several raids the Israeli army and clashes between troops and armed local youths became common. Palestinian deaths increased, as did attacks against Israelis.
Six residents of Aqabat Jaber – five of them were suspected members of Hamas’ armed wing – were killed amid clashes with Israeli forces in less than a month, while an American-Israeli was also killed two weeks ago in a shooting attack allegedly carried out by Palestinians who lived in the camp.
Israel has tightened control at the city’s entrances and exits and even blocked several roads, leaving Jericho “besieged,” according to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), that accuses the Israeli authorities of applying “collective punishment” by nearly paralyzing the city for weeks.
“Life used to be good here,” says a 15-year-old boy who had never experienced such levels of violence in Aqabat Jaber, while his neighbor Moayyed, 26, tells Efe how a part of his house was blown up by missiles fired during an Israeli raid last month.
LONGING FOR NORMALCY
Before the outbreak of violence there were not many militants living at the camp, several residents tell Efe, and the Israeli forces have either arrested or killed the majority, raising hopes among some that a semblance of normality will soon return.
But the Israeli raids have continued this month. On March 1, a 22-year-old civilian died after he, according to neighbors, was shot in the middle of an army operation.
He suffered “a flagrant violation of the right to life,” according to the Red Crescent emergency service.
“They took him to a military car and he passed away shortly after,” the organization said.
When asked by Efe, the Israeli army said that “the circumstances of his death are being reviewed,” without giving further details about the deceased.EFE

After coming up short in his quest for a gold medal in Sochi, Olympic silver medallist Patrick Chan isnt sure about his future in figure skating. At a press conference after the event, Chan was asked whether he was going to skate in the world championships next month in Japan, where he would be going for a fourth consecutive title. He was non-committal in his response. "I dont know if I could go to another one now. Im pretty exhausted," Chan said. It definitely does drain you and you lose perspective." Chan told CBCs Olympic Daytime that all hes focused on is enjoying the rest of the Games. "Right now I have in mind this hockey game Im going to, USA-Russia, and enjoying my time here and celebrating with my teammates," he said. "Were young, we have a lot ahead in our lives, but were going to remember this moment together." Chan was just behind 19-year-old Japanese phenom Yuzuru Hanyu after the mens short program was completed, essentially making it a two-man race for the gold medal. The door swung wide open for Chan after Hanyu stumbled through his long program. Skating immediately after Hanyu, Chan looked to be on his way to gold after landing his first quad. But the three-time reigning world champion stumbled through the rest of his program and couldnt overtake Hanyu, finishing the long program with a score of 178.10, behind Hanyus 178.64. That left Chan with the silver for the second consecutive Olympics. Though the disappointment was palpable, Chan remained positive, and continued to speak in terms of his overall career. "For the first time I can say Im a seven-time national champion, three-time world champion, [and] two-time silver medallist at the Olympic Games and thats huge," he said. "I dont know any other skater who has done that. Its a tremendous career. "I dont want to look at the medals and successes Ive had, I want to look at how Ive changed the sport." No Canadian man has ever won a singles gold in Olympic figure skating. Brian Orser won silver in 1984 and again in 1988, the latter of which saw him edged by a tenth of a point by American Brian Boitano. Elvis Stojko, a three-time world champion as well, won Olympic silver twice, in 1994 and 1998. Nike Air Max 720 Release .

Nike Air Max 720 For Sale .S.-Portugal game on June 22 in the Amazonian jungle city of Manaus. FIFPro, the international soccer players union, had pressed FIFA to avoid the earliest kickoffs in the hottest and most humid weather.(SportsNetwork.com) - The talk surrounding the New England Patriots ahead of their eighth -- yes, eighth -- Super Bowl appearance should be about how the club has been a model of consistency under owner Robert Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Instead, some missing PSIs have deflated (see what I did there) the Patriots ability to solely focus on their upcoming matchup with the Seattle Seahawks and dug up some old skeletons as well. Hey, at least the big game has its clear-cut villain. In case you missed it, and that is highly unlikely, the NFL reportedly found that 11 of the 12 balls used by the Patriots during a 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game were underinflated by two pounds of air pressure per square inch. That has sparked some finger pointing and a joint investigation while also allowing detractors of the Patriots to jump up and down and remind everyone of Spygate, the infamous 2007 incident in which New England was found guilty of videotaping defensive signals used by the New York Jets during a game in September. So, instead of talking about key new additions the Patriots made this season or how the club didnt let a slow start derail their season, the faces of the franchise have been forced to deflect the controversy away from the team. Belichick went on the offensive Saturday, defending his team of any wrong doing and then having once again to defend past mistakes when Spygate was brought up. The guys in front of 80,000 people. ... Everybody (on the) sideline saw it. Everybody sees our guy in front of the 80,000 people. I mean, there he is, said Belichick of the past incident. So, it was wrong, we were disciplined for it. Thats it. We never did it again. Were never going to do it again and anything else thats close, were not going to do either. The Pats coach also felt the need to remind everyone that it was talent that got his group of players to this point. This team was the best team in the AFC in the regular season, he said. We won two games in the playoffs against two good football teams. The best team in the postseason, thats what this team is. I know that because Ive been with them every day and Im proud of this team. Belichick has since shut down responding to any new questions about deflated balls, though each new report about the incident will bring new lines of question. Until then, New England has been able to talk a bit about how it got to an eighth Super Bowl, which ties Dallas and Pittsburgh for the most Super Bowl berths in league history. The Pats are aiming to become the sixth team with at least four Super Bowl titles, a distinction that was denied to them by losses to the New York Giants in the title game in both 2008 and 2012. New England has not won a Super Bowl since claiming back-to-back titles in 2004-05. No other team has won consecutive championships since and the Pats will be looking to deny the Seahawks from joining that company this season. The Patriots didnt look like contenders early, with a bad 41-14 loss at Kansas City on Sept. 29 dropping the club to 2-2. Questions about Brady being in the latter stages of his career surrfaced, especially after he was limited to 159 yards passing while getting picked off twice by the Chiefs.dddddddddddd. Brady responded the next game in a win over Cincinnati, logging 292 passing yards and a pair of scores while allowing the run game to rack up 220 yards. That victory kicked off a seven-game win streak of the Pats, a span that saw them become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive games by 20 or more points, each against an opponent with a record of at least three games above .500. I mean, we rallied, said defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, who appeared in only four games last season because of an Achilles injury. One thing we always say is, No matter what we go through, just stick with one another. Thats exactly what we did. So it didnt surprise me. It was something we had to go through, we went through. I think we handled it pretty well as a team and benefited from it. Offense played a big part in New Englands surge, with the club averaging just 20 points per game during the 2-2 start. The Brady-led Pats, though, went 10-2 after that while averaging 29.5 points per game over that stretch. Perhaps Brady just needed time to get back on the same page as talented tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was limited to just seven games in 2013 due to back injury that held him out of the first six contests and a knee ailment that ended his season on Dec. 9. Gronkowski had just 13 receptions for 147 yards with three touchdowns over the first four games, but had six catches for 100 yards versus the Bengals and ended the campaign with 1,124 yards on 82 catches with 12 TDs in 15 games. Then there is the defense, which brought back safety Patrick Chung and traded for linebacker Akeem Ayers while also bringing in former Pro Bowl cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. The physical Browner won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks last season and helped bring an edge to a defense that ended up yielding 20 points per game this season. Revis is, well, still playing like Revis. I think we added two, you know, really good players, said 27-year-old defensive back Devin McCourty. I think when you do that of course you get better, and I think those two guys have done a good job of being leaders and fitting into the group. So I think we definitely got better on the field, but I thought we got two really good guys, too. Theyve showed the younger guys, direction, how to become good players, and its been joy to play with them, too. Still, the focus will be on Belichick and Brady, both for their success of having won 20 postseason games together and for the past and current controversies surrounding the club. To have an opportunity to play in this game is really unbelievable, said Brady, the NFLs all-time leader with 49 postseason touchdowns. I never thought Id have the experience to play in one of these. To think that its my sixth time, I cant imagine that Id think Id ever play anything professionally. Certainly to make the Super Bowl is a pretty amazing experience. To do it once and then six times is very, very special. For Brady and Belichick, they better win it clean. Their legacy may depend on it. ' ' '

Molecular typing and virulence analysis of multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates recovered from Egyptian hospitals
Klebsiella pneumonia infection rates have increased dramatically. Molecular typing and virulence analysis are powerful tools that can shed light on Klebsiella pneumonia infections. Whereas 77.7% (28/36) of clinical isolates indicated multidrug resistant (MDR) patterns, 50% (18/36) indicated carpabenem resistance. Gene prevalence for the AcrAB efflux pump (82.14%) was more than that of the mdtK efflux pump (32.14%) in the MDR isolates. FimH-1 and mrkD genes were prevalent in wound and blood isolates. FimH-1 gene was prevalent in sputum while mrkD gene was prevalent in urine. Serum resistance associated with outer membrane protein coding gene (traT) was found in all blood isolates. IucC, entB, and Irp-1 were detected in 32.14%, 78.5% and 10.7% of MDR isolates, respectively. We used two Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analyses: Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). ERIC-PCR revealed 21 and RAPD-PCR revealed 18 distinct patterns of isolates with similarity ≥80%. ERIC genotyping significantly correlated with resistance patterns and virulence determinants. RAPD genotyping significantly correlated with resistance patterns but not with virulence determinants. Both RAPD and ERIC genotyping methods had no correlation with the capsule types. These findings can help up better predict MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreaks associated with specific genotyping patterns.

I did have time to make a card for a couple of challenges. Also, I have a friend's birthday coming up so this card might be used.
I've been having fun with the digi's from TGF. I'm using the pretty Sassenach Anya today. I thought she would look lovely in turquoise, black, white and sparkles.
I used Mercy's sketch from the TGF FFF sketch challenge. Followed Amy's awesome curly hair tutorial on the Color Me Copic website (be sure to check it out, Amy has some mad skills with a Copic marker). Used ribbons, bottons, flowers and some really great dp paper from MME to finish off the card.
Here are the challenges I want to use this card for:
I just missed submitting this to the Lollipop Crafts - Challenge #4 ribbons and buttons. Well you snooze you lose, right? No worries, hahaha.
Well I have one more card to make. It's a pre-thank you card for my friends who are taking me out for my pre-birthday tonight. We're going to Long Beach to meet up with one of their friends, Sean, he sings with the Hawaiian group Na Palapalai. It should be good fun, he's always cracking jokes and telling us good stories. Mahalo for stopping by, hoping you enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday...
Update: I wasn't a winner but the ladies showcased my card on their blog. How wonderful is that? Super stoked and totally honored. YAY!

|Thad Jones |
An American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader.
Thad Jones was a self taught musician, performing professionally by the age of sixteen. He served in U.S. Army bands during World War II (1943-46).
After the war, Thad Jones continued his professional music career, eventually winding up with Count Basie in 1954, for whom he arranged, composed, and performed.
He stayed with Basie for nine years. Thad achieved critical acclaim during this time, but not for his work with Basie.
Much of Jones's music was stylistically original and didn't always fit in with the Basie group which he left in 1963. In the early sixties he became a free lance arranger and performer in the New York area.
In 1965, he and drummer Mel Lewis formed the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band. The group initially began with informal late night jam sessions amongst New York's top studio musicians.
The group eventually began performing at the Village Vanguard, to wide acclaim, and continued with Jones in the lead for twelve years. They won a 1978 Grammy Award for their album Live in Munich.
One of the more notable albums he made in this regard is Suite for Pops recorded on the A&M Records "Horizon".
In 1978, Thad suddenly moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, (to the great surprise of his New York band mates), where several other American jazz musicians had gone to live. There, he formed a new band Eclipse, composed for The Danish Radio Big Band and taught jazz at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen.
Jones came back to the U.S. to lead the Count Basie Orchestra but had to step down due to ill health. He returned to his home in Copenhagen for the last few months of his life. He died on August 21, 1986.

Visitors to Hoi An can now learn about the ancient town more easily by using a new audio guide system.
The system has been introduced at major tourist destinations in Hoi An by the Hoi An Center for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation in cooperation with the Viet-Phap (Vietnam-France) Trade Promotion Company.
It is part of a range of activities to mark the 19th anniversary of UNESCO’s recognition of Hoi An as a world cultural heritage site in 1999 and Vietnam’s Heritage Day (November 23).
The audio system has been installed at the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Museum of Trade Ceramics, the Sa Huynh Culture Museum, and the Hoi An Museum, to improve the quality of the sites for tourists.
The guide is a new technological product manufactured in France and comes in six languages: Vietnamese, English, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. It replaces tour guides, as visitors are provided an audio device to listen to and a map of the sites and artifacts.
It is already available at famous tourist sites all over the world but this is the first time it has been introduced in Hoi An, and aims to provide a better way for visitors, ranging from researchers to local and foreign tourists, to gain a better insight into the history and culture of the ancient town and discover the land and its people through objects and stories relating to the objects. It also improves the quality of tourism in the city.
Hoi An welcomed 2.7 million visitors, including 2 million international arrivals, in the first half of this year, up 70 per cent and 230 per cent against the same period last year. The figure in 2017 was 3.2 million, including 1.8 million international arrivals, up 27 per cent and 31 per cent against 2016.

More extreme Acura NSX coming in 2018?
The hardcore NSX will likely wear the Type R moniker.
Australian media outlets are reporting that Acura is in the early stages of developing a more hardcore version of the all-new second-gen NSX.
Set to wear the Type R moniker, the range-topping NSX will benefit from an evolution of the standard coupe's gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain that will be tweaked to provide well over 600 horsepower. The Type R should be able to sprint from zero to 62 mph in about three seconds, a figure that will put it on par with much more expensive supercars.
Acura will complement the extra power with upgraded brakes on all four corners and a thoroughly revised suspension setup. The stiffer suspension will undoubtedly compromise the relative comfort that the NSX nameplate has long been known for but it will make it quicker around a track.
The Type R will weigh a lot less than the standard NSX thanks to the use of body panels crafted out of carbon fiber. Official figures are not available yet but sources close to Acura told Australia's Motoring that the R is expected to tip the scale at roughly 3,400 pounds.
Visually, the R will be instantly recognizable thanks to a full track-inspired body kit that will include a more muscular-looking front bumper, side skirts and a big spoiler out back. The R will ride on model-specific alloy wheels.
If the rumor materializes, the Acura NSX Type R will be presented at a major auto show in 2017 and it will go on sale in select markets shortly after.

Today, patient pay services are more important than ever, especially as hospitals strive to recover financially from the pandemic. Median hospital operating margins came in at 2.5% year-to-date in November 2020 with the CARES Act funds and -1.1% without them, according to recent Kaufman Hall data. Meanwhile, patients have also been impacted by the economic fallout from COVID-19. A new Pew Research Center survey finds that 1 in 4 adults have had trouble paying their bills since the coronavirus outbreak started.
However, a patient’s income level should not prevent them from achieving positive health outcomes. At the same time, healthcare providers need a steady revenue stream to continue serving their communities. To boost patient collections and offer better financial care for patients, prioritize these 5 patient pay solutions in 2021 and beyond.
1. Clear Communication About Costs, Before & After Treatment
Upfront Price Estimates Before Care
Contact patients before they receive care with upfront price estimates. Patientco’s technology sends appointment reminders with integrated price estimates. Our communication explains what patients owe and why they owe that amount. We send this information to patients through channels they prefer, including through email or text message, using empathetic, easy-to-understand language. Tackling price transparency with personalized, upfront price estimates inspires trust with patients. This approach also helps patients plan for their medical expenses.
Why Upfront Price Estimates Matter
Cost concerns are patients’ number one barrier to accessing care. In our 2020 State of the Patient Financial Experience survey report, 45% of patients said they have avoided medical care over concerns about their out-of-pocket costs. Yet, nearly 70% of patients who have received an upfront price estimate said the estimate influenced their decision to move forward with treatment. In other words, pre-service price estimates can help alleviate patients’ cost concerns so they don’t delay or skip care. By providing a price estimate upfront, along with affordable, self-service payment options, health systems can prevent no-shows and cancellations that stem from a patient’s cost concerns.
A Single, Simplified Bill After Care
Health systems should offer a single, simplified bill for patients after they receive care. Even if your organization has multiple EHR systems, or your hospital and physician groups bill in silos, Patientco makes it possible to send one bill to the patient that provides a centralized view of their payment responsibility.
In addition to consolidating multiple bills across an episode of care, ensure patients can understand their bill. Translate billing jargon into patient-friendly language, break down charges, insurance adjustments and highlight any previous payments. These best practices make it easier and more intuitive for patients to understand their bill and pay what is owed.
Why Simplified Billing Matters
Medical bills are a source of stress and frustration for many patients. Confusing medical billing codes make it hard for patients to understand what they’re being charged for. Plus, many patients receive multiple billing statements for a single healthcare visit.
Our 2020 State of the Patient Financial Experience survey revealed that 1 in 3 patients received 2-3 bills the last time they visited their healthcare provider. When patients receive multiple bills for a single visit, they often have questions and concerns about their charges.
For health systems, simplified billing communication reduces patient call volume related to billing inquiries and ensures patients can easily understand their financial responsibility without assistance from a team member. One of our clients, Great River Health System, reduced monthly call volume by more than 60% after going live with Patientco’s easy-to-understand billing communication.
2. Flexible, Self-Service Payment Arrangements
Affordable, Self-Service Pay Options at All Stages of the Patient Journey
To offer compassionate financial care for patients facing economic uncertainties, gently address their affordability concerns with self-service enrollment in flexible payment options at every stage of the patient’s journey. In short, make sure patients can sign up for flexible payment options either before or after treatment.
Here’s how this process works before care: once a patient reviews their digital price estimate, they can access affordable, self-service payment options right from their estimate. For example, patients can go online and sign up for a payment plan with monthly payments that work for their unique financial situation. They can do all of this right from their smartphone, tablet or any connected device they used to view their estimate. This approach can help your organization accelerate cash flow by collecting more patient payments before treatment.
After care, patients can also access self-service affordable payment options right from their bill. Keep in mind that what works for one patient, may not work for another so offer multiple patient pay solutions, including:
- Payment Plans
- Financing Programs
- Scheduled Payments
Patientco can support other patient pay solutions as well, depending on what works best for your health system and patient population.
Why Affordable, Self-Service Pay Options Matter
Flexible payment options help health systems collect payments without putting the patient and their budget in a bind. As a result, health systems can build trust and maintain patient loyalty. Patientco’s 2020 State of the Patient Financial Experience survey report validates this. Over 1 in 4 patients said they were willing to switch providers to access more affordable payment options, even if it was inconvenient.
Offering affordable payment options before care helps ensure patients keep their scheduled appointment with your health system. Likewise, it means they’ll be more likely to return for their future care needs as well.
3. Card-on-File Payment Agreements
Card-on-File: A Patient-Friendly Payment Solution
Urgent care, ambulatory primary care physicians and specialists’ offices have historically used card-on-file payment agreements for collecting patient copays and deductibles. But today, large enterprise health systems have an opportunity to use card-on-file agreements to support compassionate financial conversations with patients upfront.
Whether at pre-service or point-of-service, a card-on-file feature encourages payment agreements between patients and providers. Patients simply commit to pay up to a certain dollar amount or sign up for a payment plan using a specified payment method. Patientco’s card-on-file functionality is unique because we can help identify the appropriate payment agreements and set up business rules that align to your organization’s financial policies. For instance, business rules can be enacted that require patients to pay a percentage of their estimated costs prior to service.
Why Card-on-File Payment Agreements Matter
Additionally, a recent HIMSS Analytics survey proves that patients are more than willing to use card-on-file agreements. Survey responses revealed that over 75% of patients would allow a healthcare organization to charge a credit card provided at the time of service for medical charges up to $200. With a card-on-file pay solution, patients know what they will owe and commit to paying upfront so that they don’t have to worry about a large, confusing bill later. For health systems, this helps accelerate cash flow by collecting more patient payments earlier.
4. Online & Mobile-Friendly Patient Pay Services
A Convenient, Modern Payment Experience Fit for Any Device
It’s just good business to offer your patients various self-service options for paying their medical bills. There are a range of patient pay services to consider, including financing, payment plans, prompt payment discounts, scheduled payments and more. But keep in mind, making a payment should be fast and frictionless no matter what device the patient uses. Completing a payment on a smartphone should be as easy as it is on a desktop computer and vice versa.
Why Online & Mobile Payments Matter
By providing a more convenient, intuitive patient payment experience, health systems increase their self-service payment rates. Additionally, self-service patient pay services allow patients to complete a payment at any time, even outside of business hours, which helps improve overall collections. The value of Patientco’s online and mobile-friendly payment tools has proven impactful for our clients, especially for Inspira Health. Today, 90% of Inspira’s hospital payments are self-service and more than half of those payments are made online through the Patientco® PatientWallet. These payments require no intervention from Inspira’s team members.
5. Contactless Payments
Contactless Patient Pay Solutions
In addition to online and mobile-friendly payment tools, today’s patients expect contactless payment options. Patientco® Text-to-Pay addresses these expectations, serving as a convenient, secure contactless payment method that health systems can offer their patients. With Text-to-Pay, providers send a payment request via SMS text to a patient in real time. Then, the patient clicks on a secure link to make a payment directly from their smartphone.
Text-to-Pay eliminates the need for shared hardware devices and ensures PCI compliance, making it an ideal solution for telehealth visits, remote working environments, office visits, COVID-19 testing sites and more.
Why Contactless Payment Options Matter
Within the first few weeks of rolling out our latest contactless payment option, Text-to-Pay, Patientco processed more than $2 million in payments with an approximate conversion rate of 80% across nearly 7,500 patients.
Our health system clients have found the feature useful for both their point-of-service and back-office teams. For example, one Virginia-based health system uses Text-to-Pay at point-of-service for its check-in process, where patients check in from their car to maintain social distancing during COVID-19. Patients have to call before entering the facility and with Text-to-Pay, patients can easily pay their copay or balance on their smartphone from the car, which streamlines the check-in process.
For another health system’s back-office team, Text-to-Pay has made it easier to collect patient balances when following up with patients over the phone. Before, team members had to ask patients to share their credit card information aloud on the phone to process a payment. However, with Text-to-Pay, patients can complete a payment on their own device, assuring greater peace of mind about the privacy and security of their payment information.
Upgrade Your Patient Pay Services in 2021
With the right patient pay solutions, your health system can simultaneously improve the patient experience and boost collections, positioning your organization to continue giving patients the care they need.
To discover how upgrading your patient pay services can help both your organization and patient population, schedule a brief consultation with one of our payment experts.
