Lyric performance and neutal light paintings exhibited, painter point of view
On the 2013.01.18 we assist to the lyric evocation of a while of happiness at the ridge of an imminent rupture, interpreted by Marie Bernard, (soprano, Aline Quentin, mezzo soprano, Sandrine Lusignant, harp. A soldier appeared, they understand that they will be separated.
The simple apparition of an object, and a fortiori of a loved person, changes my chemical equilibrium, the perturbed is changed in an new equilibrium, within a dynamic exchange between to human being.
But the time of this dynamic equilibrium is nevertheless limited.
A rupture appears as a fatality.
The emotion is in this transitory biologic state born from the rupture of my internal equilibrium.
In this trance the object changes me chemically, so I see the object in another way, so that the object becomes a new object, this one going once more to change me, and so on in a permanent exchange of information.
The painter catches a significant, and changing of state, may catch another one anr occurs nox the need to continue an multi sensorial exploration of the object.
This exchange of information is intensive between the object and my body.
The information is not the energy but goes always with the energy.
An intensive exchange of energy operates between the models and the painter.
This exchange of energy was triggered by Marie Bernard, soprano, Aline Quentin, mezzo soprano, Sandrine Lusignant, harp, triggering the modification of the environment by the only presence of the object, my living body being permanently in exchange with the environment.

Argentine tango performance, biennale of contemporary arts of Bourges
On the 2012.11.14, at 18h15 a performance of drawing and dancing was given at Café In, place Gordaine, Bourges.
The performance of dancers of argentine tango consists of improvising on the music.
The performance of the sketcher consists of catching their action on life.
The action is not the movement only.
The question is to catch the living out equilibrium, in a transforming process, with his intention of action.
The painter grasp as they come, with the chance, gestures in successive whiles which unroll the present.
That arrives naturally when the brains of the dancers, draughtsman and the music are synchronous and the draughtsman is dancing with the dancers.
The spectator's brain looking at the drawing remakes the movement of the scene and the presence of living.
This technique is presented in the book How to Represent Action.

Salsa and drawing performance at the castle of Villemenard
On the 2012.09.09 the performance occurred in the great chamber of the castle of Villemenard.
What is then so innovative in this performance executed by a draught man and two dancers?
Precisely the fact to draw in the present dancers dancing.
The present is not the while grasp into an attitude, with a photo camera, within a form diluted by the movement, losing the materialization of the image.
The present flows with the time with all emotions multi sensorial that dwell it, in an exchange of energy with the living out of equilibrium, perceived and represented.
Degas has draught dancers, but giving only statics attitudes, at a classic period when choreography represented a succession of canvasses.
Delacroix has sketched, remembering it, horses in full run with opened and multiple lines.
Rembrandt (drawing of the Capricious Child) and Wouters (bronze titled Domestic Worry) have represented body out of equilibrium.
Xavier Bolot, sketcher and painter, has systematically, working on the theme Vision in Action, drawn and painted dancers dancing or acrobats in action in life in public.
L'harmattan publishes "How to represent action"
This work published in July 2012 is the third of a trilogy about the arts of living after
Drawing in Real Perspective and The Neutral Light.
How to Represent Action approaches the living with three iconoclast steps : the hazard is our wealth, the emotion and the knowledge, the levels of consciousness of the artist.
This approach reset our traditional conception of the human being and allows us, as an example, to use our faculties to draw dancers dancing or acrobats in action.
Performance "Dialogues of bodies and drawind" in Sancerre, Martine Charpin gallery
On the 2012.06.09 at 19h, Martine Charpin Galery, place du Connétable, Sancerre.
The work undertaken here by Xavier Bolot, Camille and Georges invite you to discover the life of a workshop in the intimacy of his research.
Under a choreographic aspect, movements, spontaneity of the gesture and fascination of the living will be convoked.
This performance points out the complexity to grasp the reality, the right gesture, and the corporal language.
The ritual of the creation is the represented, visceral and spiritual.
The counterpoint between bodies draught and active bodies try to reveal this inexhaustible question : what is to perceive the other ?

Beef: The continuing slide in beef prices, limited slaughter volumes and more comfortable live inventories, along with the still-strong basis, weighed on cash prospects last week, although few sales surfaced by late Friday, with bids holding at $125, about $3 under the bulk of last week’s trade. Larger out-front cattle purchases in recent weeks, coupled with prospects for seasonally larger fed cattle supplies in the weeks ahead, may continue to weigh on cash prospects, along with the strong basis and steep discounts on late-spring and summer futures. The blended cutout slipped near $206/cwt. at week’s end, off more than $6 from the prior week’s close. However, larger spot sales volumes and more moderate production, coupled with renewed merchandising interest at the lower price, may spur a price rebound ahead of the spring and early-summer holidays. Weaker beef prices and deteriorating operating margins tempered production schedules, with total slaughter dipping to 573,000 head, well below last week’s 593,000 and the late-March spike to 613,000.
Pork: February trade was illustrative that exports were the critical factor for pork product movement in the first quarter. January and February were record large for pork production, with a combined 4.14 billion lb. While February 2017 production alone holds second place only to last February, it is a close second in the amount of pork product that needed to clear the market. Exports for February 2017 also hold second place for total pork exported, coming in at 450 million lb. (first place was 456 million lb. in 2012). This February, 22.6% of product was exported, with the five-year average being 20.7%. This net increase in exports helped to create a net negative supply domestically, as 63 million lb. more pork left the U.S. in February 2017 versus February 2016.
Poultry: In the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture trade data for U.S. broiler meat, exports were up just 2.2% in February from the prior year to 547.5 million lb. Combining this with January exports of 557.2 million lb. and an expectation of 623.8 million lb. of broiler meat to export channels in March provides year-over-year improvements of 9.7% during the first quarter of 2017. The risk here is with importing countries' actions regarding bans of U.S. broiler meat due to the presence of avian influenza in counties where there is a high concentration of broiler meat production. This week, Chile extended its ban of U.S. broiler meat imports to include additional counties in Alabama, as well as Georgia, due to the recent low-pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks. Chile ranked number 12 on the list of major importers of U.S. broiler meat in February, claiming just 2.7% of total U.S. broiler exports.

The old oil debate!!!!!! Well most of you answers are verry good. But the one about the DIZZY is most accurate. The 2.3 FORD has a nasty habit of eating DIZZY drives. So a light fast moving oil is mandatory. I say 10W30. Now this is a winter oil you know so its not really good in hot climates like florida. So a better oil would be 15W40. . The other factor is what cam does the engine HAVE. ROLLER SLIDER ETC. Roller units do not need ZYNC. Sliders do. So an additive is needed in slider applications?? But remenber this the wider the spread on VI improvers the less oil in the CAN. Example 10W50 compaired to 10W 30. 10W30 has much more oil than 10W50. So the best choice i an oil with a 2 step rating and no more. Many engines suffered sereyous sludging with 10W40 oils years ago. so be it as it may always warm up a 2.3 Ford before driving it and use a 10W30 motor oil in it unless you live in a hot year round climate. If you do then use a 15W40 TOM

Iran confirms rejection of nuclear compromise
TEHRAN (AFP) Nov 13, 2005
Iran confirmed Sunday it would not accept a compromise on its disputed nuclear programme that involved sensitive uranium enrichment activities being conducted outside the country.
"Enrichment should be carried out on Iranian soil, as other Iranian officials have said before," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asfi told reporters.
That position was spelled out on Saturday by Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation head Gholamreza Aghazadeh after a meeting with Igor Ivanov, the head of Russia's Security Council.
Under a proposal reportedly being floated, Iran would be allowed to carry out an initial step in making nuclear fuel -- converting uranium ore into the uranium hexafluoride gas that is the feedstock for making enriched uranium.
But enrichment itself would be done in Russia under an offer said to be under consideration by the European Union and the United States.
Iran says it only wants to enrich uranium to low levels for atomic reactor fuel and argues such work is a right enshrined by the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The enrichment process can be diverted to military purposes, and the United States and European Union fear the clerical regime is merely using an atomic energy drive as a cover for weapons development.
It was still not clear exactly what offer Ivanov had presented to the Iranians and the Russian official insisted that he had come with no specific proposal.
"As far as I know there is no such proposal (on enrichment)," Asefi said, describing Ivanov's visit as "positive".
Asefi also said that calls for Iran to return to a freeze of uranium conversion, a precursor to enrichment, was not discussed either.
Ivanov's visit came ahead of a November 24 meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board, which will consider referring Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions.
Iran triggered the latest standoff in August when it effectively broke off negotiations on a package of incentives for restraining its nuclear plans and resumed conversion activities it had suspended a year ago.
The IAEA has demanded Iran return to a full freeze of enrichment-related work and return to negotiations with Britian, France and Germany. Iran says it is willing to negotiate, but not suspend all of its activities.
Asefi said Iran wanted to see a "balanced approach" to its nuclear programme, and repeated that talks needed to be widened to involve countries other than the so-called EU3.
He also reacted to reports that US intelligence officials have shown IAEA members a stolen Iranian laptop computer containing nuclear designs as proof the country is secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons programme.
The New York Times reported on its website Saturday that during the demonstration, which took place in Vienna in mid-July, officials displayed selections from more than a thousand pages of Iranian computer simulations and accounts of experiments, saying they showed a long effort to design a nuclear warhead.
"This is worthless and naive. We usually don't carry our secrets around in laptops," Asefi laughed when aksed to respond to the report.All rights reserved. © 2005 Agence France-Presse.

Sony is attempting to reach out to more than just PS5 gamers with its new InZone brand of gaming monitors and headsets. I got my hands on them in the video embedded above if you’d rather see or hear me talk about these gadgets.
Made for PC but with specs to take full advantage of the PS5, along with Xbox Series X, the $899 InZone M9 is the flagship product of the bunch. It’s a 27-inch 4K IPS gaming monitor built to match the aesthetic of the PS5 while having basically every imaginable spec that gamers may universally want, sans OLED panel, of course. It has a 144Hz refresh rate (that’s not so common to find with a 4K screen), a 1ms response time, variable refresh rate (VRR, both for consoles and with G-Sync compatibility for Nvidia GPUs), plus DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 ports. It can also display video via USB-C.
Notably, the M9 features full-array local dimming with 96 zones, along with DisplayHDR 600, both of which allow for brighter highlights, darker blacks, and the ability to juggle the two without too much of a haloing effect. Some features that are special to this monitor (and that trickled down from high-end Bravia TVs) include auto HDR tone mapping, which automatically recognizes the M9 when plugged into a PS5 and claims to optimize the display’s HDR output. There’s also an auto genre picture mode that can automatically switch to cinema mode when you launch a video streaming service or a Blu-ray, then go back to a low-latency mode when you begin gaming again.
In a mind-boggling move, Sony doesn’t include any video cables with the $899 M9. Sony spokesperson Chloe Canta shared a statement with The Verge that said the company chose not to because “the required cable type, version, and length are different based on a customer’s use case.” I suppose Sony’s not wrong there, but not including any video cables just isn’t right.
There’s a cheaper $529 M3 monitor coming this winter that makes some omissions to meet the lower price point. It lops off full-array local dimming, drops to 1080p, and bumps the HDR down to 400 nits of peak brightness. Otherwise, the feature set is similar with one exception: the refresh rate goes up to 240Hz.
Moving onto the other product category that Sony’s InZone is launching: headsets. The H9 sits at the top of its new lineup, rocking big over-ear cans, and has the ability to handle both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth simultaneously. The design is nothing like the Pulse 3D headset that Sony launched alongside the PS5. Instead, it’s more similar to competing gaming headsets, featuring highly adjustable side arms, a flip-to-mute microphone that can offer a healthy dose of sidetone (hearing yourself in the headset), and pillowy ear pads that Sony says borrows build materials from its latest WH-1000XM5.
The H9 claims to offer 32 hours of battery life per charge, and it’s the only model in Sony’s lineup to feature digital noise cancellation. During my hands-on, I tested them against my personal set of Sony WH-1000XM3, and they were comparable in merit, with great comfort, effective noise cancellation (Sony says it’s “inherited” from the 1000X series, but it didn’t seem quite as good as the XM3), and superb sound quality. One downside, however, is that they are simply huge on your head. There’s a shot in the video above that shows how large they look while on my head.
Like its monitors, Sony has a unique angle with the H9 that other hardware makers haven’t tried, to my knowledge. PC players can install its InZone companion app along with Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer to get a more customized spatial audio profile. Oddly, doing this requires you to take pictures of your ears, and yes, Sony claims that doing this will actually improve your audio. In my brief hands-on test of the feature, I didn’t notice a difference, but I’ll be sure to test it more thoroughly for the review.
Sony has one other wireless headset, the $229 H7, and a $100 H3 wired gaming headset. The H7 has a slightly reduced set of features, but it retains the design and dual wireless connectivity. You won’t get noise cancellation, though axing that feature boosts the battery life to 40 hours per charge. The H3, on the other hand, delivers decent sound performance, but it’s more pared back in terms of styling compared to the H9 and H7.
Sony releasing its own gaming monitors wasn’t exactly on my bingo card for 2022, or, well, ever — not that it hasn’t tried before. But its new InZone hardware looks and feels like fully realized ideas coming to fruition. As to whether Sony plans to iterate yearly on these products, as its competitors do, remains to be seen. But what’s coming out in 2022 feels relatively future-proofed. Stay tuned for the final reviews coming soon.

Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties, Oregon — Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) is celebrating five years of working as a collaborator with local Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members, providers, county governments, schools, law enforcement, nonprofits and community partners to make Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties healthier places to live, play and work.
“People are healthier when their physical, mental and oral health works together,” said Debbie Morrow, board chair for Columbia Pacific CCO and community organizer in Clatsop County. “Integrating care has meant changing the way communities work together. We listen to members and providers for ideas and make local investments to help make these changes. We do this by focusing on coordinating care, encouraging innovation, improving community health and promoting healthy choices – these choices allow our communities to shine.”
“We recognize that your mind is as important as your body when it comes to health, so we invest a great deal of effort to help our community cope with behavioral health and addictions, as well as physical and dental care,” Morrow continued. “By looking at the whole person, we can help improve lives, not just deal with individual illnesses.”
The CCO works closely with schools and other organizations to expand health across the community.
“The Columbia Pacific CCO has been a critical partner with the Tillamook School District in trying to meet the needs of our students who have been impacted by trauma in their lives,” said Randy Schild, Tillamook County school superintendent. “The CCO has brought community partners together, generated resources and helped develop new programs that will provide wrap-around services to the students in our district who need it the most. It takes a community to raise all children, and the Columbia Pacific CCO has become a valuable part of the Tillamook community.”
“The population we serve all needs special attention, each person is in a critical situation,” said Alan Evans, executive director of Helping Hands Re-Entry Outreach. The nonprofit has received funding for three years through the CCO.
“Having a crisis worker at our table was a game changer for us,” Evans said. “We could figure out what people need instead of just giving them a bed and a meal. Having a case manager meant that as a team we could help people overcome obstacles to being sustainable. We eliminated an expensive piece of the process – making people have to be in crisis and go to a hospital to get services. We showed a return of nine dollars for every dollar spent. When we work collaboratively to provide the best services possible, everybody wins.”
“In Columbia County, the CCO invested in expanding the Pathways Rehabilitation program to Bridge to Pathways, a treatment and rehab program,” said Kim Krause, director of Pathways and Bridge to Pathways. “We now offer medically-assisted treatment to help people recover from addictions and this local program means people from this region might not have to travel across the state to get treatment.”
The CCO partners with local providers to improve health care, and creates opportunities to listen to people across each community.
To encourage clinical innovation, Columbia Pacific CCO has a Clinical Advisory Panel – a group of local providers – that works on ways to meet Oregon’s quality measures.
“Preventive care is the focus, such as reminding pregnant women to visit their providers and making sure that babies get fully vaccinated,” said Safina Koreishi, MD and medical director for Columbia Pacific CCO.
“Columbia Pacific CCO also has funded equipment, care teams and clinical education to foster innovation and create better care for all clinic patients, not just our members,” said Koreishi. “This effort has included an investment in recruitment to attract providers to our area.”
Community Advisory Councils (CACs) comprised of members, residents and local leaders provide feedback to the CCO in each county. “The Councils have developed a Community Health Plan to look at the most pressing health issues,” said Nancy Knopf, Community Health Partnership manager.
The Councils have identified three areas of concern: obesity, substance abuse and mental illness. The councils review and approve community wellness investment grants to local nonprofits working to improve health in those areas.
Columbia Pacific CCO has provided grants for Food Bank Fresh Initiatives and Mobile Produce Pantry in Clatsop County, Food Bank grants in Columbia County to increase the distribution of fresh produce by 70 percent, and a local Homeless Relief Shelter in Tillamook.
“Healthy choices need to be learned, practiced and supported,” Knopf continued. “The younger we start promoting healthy choices, the better. We fund local nonprofits that help people make healthy choices for life.”
Projects include supporting Clatsop Kids Go; training more than 300 school personnel, mental health providers, parents and others in Columbia County in trauma-informed care; and promoting Tillamook County’s Year of Wellness high school challenge.
Columbia Pacific CCO is making a difference in the lives of members:
- More than 85 percent of members have a patient-centered primary care home. This means that their care is better coordinated to enhance overall wellness and quality of life. This also reduces the number of emergency room visits, which cost much more.
- More than 58 percent of children from birth to three years get developmental screenings, an increase of 17 percent.
- More than 85 percent of pregnant women have access to timely prenatal care, an increase of 25 percent.
- By helping members manage chronic pain through alternative means, it’s been possible for the CCO to reduce the number of members receiving continuing opioid prescriptions by more than 18 percent in the last year.
“We are so proud to be collaborating with Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties on this work,” said Mimi Haley, executive director for Columbia Pacific CCO. “We have made enormous progress and are honored to work with such amazing people. The CCO can only be as effective as its partnerships and we couldn’t have a better set of providers, community leaders, hospitals and health care clinics, schools, law enforcement and community volunteers to create health together.”
Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization is a CareOregon company.


FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Incumbent U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran will take on Eva Putzova in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary in Congressional District 1. Either Putzova or O’Halleran will take on the Republican primary winner — Nolan Reidhead or Tiffany Shedd
This is the third article in a series of the four candidates.
Rep. O’Halleran said he has become known as the “go to guy” in Congress for Native Americans because he has been an advocate for Native Americans on a long list of issues.
O’Halleran said the top three issues in CD1 are helping people through the COVID pandemic, helping tribes with economic development and making sure people have enough resources for food, education and avoiding homelessness.

Welcome to Every little thing Croton-a collection of all items Croton, our history, our residences, our challenges, our houses of worship-in short, Anything CROTON. Opinion Pieces Some student newspapers have sports columnists, even though other individuals accept opinion submissions from writers-at-big. When I surveyed about 200 former exchange students last year, in cooperation with an international exchange organization referred to as AFS, nine out of 10 foreign students who had lived in the U.S. said that little ones right here cared a lot more about sports than their peers back property did. Last year in Texas, whose small towns are the spiritual dwelling of high-college football and the inspiration for Friday Night Lights, the superintendent brought in to rescue a single tiny rural school district did a thing insanely rational.
We have let him play 1 sport a season (plus swimming lessons because we want him to be secure in the water), but even when the teams are excellent and encouraging and a great environment, it is exhausting to drag all 3 of the little ones to his games and practices. All of those issues matter, and Jenny finds it refreshing to attend a school that is about so significantly more than academics.
There are procedures described right here that I have not attempted as properly as my personal preferences, but I can not be held responsible if you harm your articles by attempting these approaches. Sports dominate to such a degree that a childhood is eliminated in exchange for running from spot to place. They’ve so far agreed to cut about 700 education jobs, and they extended winter break in 2011, but sports have been left mostly untouched. There are some sports in which it appears particularly terrible (like hockey in Minnesota), but seriously, you see it creeping into a lot of sports.
And contrary to what most individuals assume, ticket and concession sales do not commence to cover the cost of sports in the vast majority of high schools (or colleges). The occasion was a milestone in Texas history: the initial recorded football game between two higher-college teams. Simply because most student papers are published weekly or even month-to-month, game benefits articles are old hat when we get around to printing them.
Then Singleton told the school’s football coach, a history teacher named Richard Russell, who’d been coaching for two decades. But in 2012, only 17 percent of the school’s juniors and seniors took at least a single Sophisticated Placement test—compared with the 50 percent of students who played school sports. Having said that, these sprays will affect colored inks so be careful about utilizing on any colored images in newspaper articles.
By way of the lots of articles and books we have written more than the years, we have normally attempted to give some uncomplicated, but hugely efficient and practical ideas for youth coaches to integrate as they construct relationships with young players—and their parents. Several sports writers use the kind to step back and examine a trend or a larger problem inside the sport or delve deep into an intriguing person’s life.
It would be sexist to say that these baseball , football , basketball , bowling or tennis designs are just boys – or even that they’re just for youngsters. But highlighting is as simple as going to the begin of the highlighting and clicking on the five-way button and employing that five-way to go to the suitable or down (or across a page turn) until you see where you want to end the highlight.

Sports Medicine bridges the gap among science and practice in the promotion of physical exercise and wellness, and in the scientific assessment, study and understanding of sports overall performance. Losses teach students to rebound stronger subsequent time, practice craft, and find out from errors, even though wins teach students to in no way rest on their laurels but to preserve practicing, and often keep a fighting type. We would look not so various from South Korea, or Japan, or any of a handful of Asian countries whose hypercompetitive, pressure-cooker strategy to academics in several methods mirrors the American strategy to sports. That April, just after having approval from her board and faculty, she gathered Spelman’s athletes and coaches in an auditorium and announced that she was going to cancel intercollegiate sports following the spring of 2013, and begin spending that $1 million on a campus-wide well being-and-fitness program.
In these communities, the dominant argument is commonly that sports lure students into school and keep them out of trouble—the identical argument American educators have made for extra than a century. Until then, most American boys had played sports in the haphazard way of boys the world more than: ambling onto fields and into alleys for pickup games or challenging other loosely affiliated groups of students to a match. Over the past handful of years, spending budget cuts have forced much more school districts, from Florida to Illinois, to scale back on sports applications. JB and I have continually gone back and forth about whether or not to place our kids in sports.
Out by the tennis courts, Daniel, a junior who was in line to turn into a captain of the football group, was waiting for tennis practice to start out when a teacher came out and delivered the news. Activities which are related to sports will be helpful to the students if it is entertaining. Both guys and ladies reported that the much better their football team did, the significantly less they studied and the extra they partied.
For students who are not likely inclined in sports will normally look at intramurals as possibilities to go on getaway. Furthermore, great sports reporters at student newspapers can develop into authorities in sports they cover. Regardless of the way you decide on to preserve and guard your newspapers or clippings, attempt it on unimportant newspaper articles 1st! The National Collegiate Athletic Association had emerged by this time, as a means of reforming the increasingly brutal sport of college football. Following articles from our nations major historical societies as properly as private collectors will give you a range of tips on guarding your newspaper treasures. Basis teachers channel the enthusiasm generally identified on football fields into academic conquests.
I have no query and doubt on the benefits of this kind of activity in college institutions. As additional and additional Americans attended college, expanding ranks of alumni demanded winning teams—and university presidents located their reputations shaped by the success of their football and basketball programs. But when it comes to youth soccer, the soccer pitch can bring out some of the worst instincts that we have. Across party lines, various voices appear unable to make a decision no matter if to blame Russia for hacking that intelligence officials say was intended to interfere with the 2016 election, probably to help Trump, nor on how to react appropriately to that hacking. But, in spite of the reality that Premont’s football group had won just one game the prior season and hadn’t been to the playoffs in roughly a decade, this alternative never occurred to anyone.

The Altamonte campus of Seminole State is about to grow much larger than its current one-building site.
Seminole State has recently purchased relatively large plots of land adjacent to the main building in Altamonte which could mean the possible out growing of the Sanford Lake Mary campus.
Despite its current convenience, Seminole State student Grace Gore welcomes the change. “It would be nice. I wouldn’t have to park in the grass anymore.”
Another Altamonte campus student Jasier Hernandez is also looking forward to “more parking.”
Multiple buildings being added to the campus could mean more opportunities to take better classes for those living in the area. “I think its supposed to actually be bigger than the one in Sanford,” student Kettley Valcourt said, “I actually prefer the smaller building. Everything is in one place.”

The Pricing Framework for Australian Public Hospital Services 2020-21 (the Pricing Framework) is the key strategic document underpinning the National Efficient Price (NEP) and National Efficient Cost (NEC) Determinations for the financial year 2020-21.
IHPA has issued the Pricing Framework prior to releasing the NEP20 and NEC20 Determinations, which will be publicly available in March 2020, with the intention of providing an additional layer of transparency and accountability.
The Fundamental Review of the National Efficient Price (NEP) was commissioned by IHPA to review the methodology underpinning the National Pricing Model. IHPA engaged Ernst & Young (EY), KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to independently perform the review in close consultation with IHPA’s advisory committees.
The Clinical Coding Practice Framework aims to support national consistency in clinical coding practice, by providing guidance in defining and promoting good practices for those involved in the clinical coding process.
It was developed by the Health Information Management Association of Australia in conjunction with the Clinical Coders’ Society of Australia, and incorporated feedback from public consultation.
A jurisdiction may request IHPA to consider any legitimate and unavoidable costs in the delivery of public hospital services. The purpose of this Framework is to assist jurisdictions in making submissions to IHPA on this issue, to layout the process which IHPA will follow in assessing submissions, and the process to determine adjustments to the NEP.
This Framework outlines the processes to investigate cross-border and cost-shifting disputes following a request by a health minister to ensure the timely, equitable and transparent management of these disputes.
The Impact of New Health Technology Framework (the Framework) outlines the process by which IHPA, via its Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC), will monitor and review the impact of new health technologies on the existing classifications in order to accurately account for them in the pricing of public hospital services.
In consultation with the CAC, IHPA will:
The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) is currently developing a new classification for non-admitted care - the Australian Non-Admitted Care Classification (ANACC) - in response to the recommendations of public consultations in 2013 and 2014 on non-admitted care classification.
The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (Pricing Authority) is established under the National Health Reform Act 2011 (Cth) (the Act), and by virtue of Section 131(1) of the Act is invested with the following functions relevant to this National Efficient Price (NEP) Determination 2019-20 (Determination):
The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (Pricing Authority) is established under the National Health Reform Act 2011 (Cth) (the Act), and by virtue of section 131(1) of the Act is invested with the following functions relevant to this 2019-20 National Efficient Cost Determination (Determination):
This document provides the technical specifications for how the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) developed the Activity Based Funding (ABF) models for the service streams to be funded for the National Efficient Price (NEP) and the National Efficient Cost (NEC) Determinations for 2019-20.

Lydia Gentle has loved every minute of the 17 years she has spent working in the resources sector.
- One in five workers in the Queensland resources industry are now women, up from 6 per cent in 2006
- The sector is still well short of the Queensland Resources Council's target of 30 per cent female workforce participation by 2026
- Not everyone agrees targets are the solution to achieving a diverse workforce
But it wasn't easy cutting her teeth in a male-dominated industry.
"When I started, even when I was at university, I was probably one of only a handful of women amongst over 100 males," Ms Gentle said.
"I didn't realise it was a male-dominated industry when I started studying, but I did learn that very quickly."
She said a lack of visibility of women in the industry, particularly in leadership positions, made her feel out of place.
"I didn't really have any female role models that I could look up to," she said.
"It's really hard to be what you can't see.
"I did question myself and numerous times earlier in my career I thought, 'Am I really cut out for this?'."
Ms Gentle has made her way to the top in her field, working as the maintenance manager at BHP's Peak Downs Mine in Queensland's Bowen Basin.
She said she wanted to use her experience to inspire other women and lift them up through the ranks.
"Now I'm trying to do a lot to encourage more women into the mining and resources profession because it's an absolutely rewarding career," she said.
"I think we really need to champion that women can be fantastic leaders."
'It's taken a long time'
There has been a marked increase in female workforce participation in the resources sector since Lydia Gentle started out.
From 2006 to 2022, it has risen from six per cent to 20 per cent in Queensland, according to the Queensland Resources Council (QRC).
But for some in the industry, progress has been too slow.
Joanne Bergamin is the communications director at Queensland vanadium mining company QEM limited.
Ms Bergamin recently organised a panel exploring female leadership in the resources sector at the Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition.
"The industry itself has set targets and it's taken 15 years to get to where we are now at 20 per cent," she said.
"So, it's taken a long time to get up to this."
Almost 7,000 women are directly employed in Queensland's $84.3 billion resources sector, according to the QRC.
But one in five is still below the QRC's target of 30 per cent female participation by 2026.
Tanya Cambetis, the Zinc Assets Operational Control Centre supervisor at Glencore Mount Isa Mines, believed more needed to be done.
"I don't know personally that targets are the right way to go about it," she said.
Ms Cambetis said companies should take practical steps to identify potential leaders within their organisations.
"It's important for businesses to identify their succession plans [for leadership] and what's in their development pipelines," she said.
"It's important for businesses to identify if they have women in their business that will make good leaders."
Speaking from her own experience, Ms Cambetis said the visibility of female leaders in the industry was important.
"I'm very fortunate to have a female underground mine manager, which is completely inspiring, but she is definitely in a league almost on her own," she said.
"They're not up there with the men.
"But I mean, that's why we're doing what we're doing, so that we can see women earn the right to be promoted into those senior roles."
Environmental concerns one barrier
As resource companies focus on attracting more young workers, Ms Cambetis said environmental concerns were a big factor putting off some prospective employees.
"I think [concerns around] the environment can potentially be a barrier to recruiting any young person these days," she said.
In the recently released State of the Environment Report, climate change and mining were among the central issues highlighted.
Ms Cambetis said she hoped a national push to establish a more environmentally conscious resources industry would offer more incentive to younger people.
"They have green targets and emissions targets all set within their companies, they're looking to be greener, they're changing their policies," she said.

The further loss of scientific expertise from AgResearch will leave New Zealand farmers worse off.
The AgResearch scientific team conducting valuable ecological research into the carbon-nitrogen cycle has been closed down and scientific expertise lost.
The research using advanced molecular techniques called Marker Assisted Breeding (MAB) identified valuable traits in plant cultivars that could conserve nitrogen or carbon. These traits could then be bred using conventional breeding techniques, not GE, providing leading edge solutions for farmers without undermining their GM-free status.
Allowing the loss of this scientific expertise is short-sighted, and shows AgResearch is failing to focus on science that suits New Zealand's unique positioning as a producer of safe, clean, GE-free food that sets the standard for quality.
"There would be no need or justification to use GE to breed up these plants. MAB is acceptable way to speed up trait selection as long as it does not use GE cultivars to achieve its ends," said Jon Carapiet spokesperson for GE Free NZ.
The loss of scientists follows a pattern of decisions that have been detrimental. The Government agricultural department DSIR was a leader in studying forage grasses that benefited farmers, their research made New Zealand internationally famous for setting the gold standard of sustainable, clean green farming. The heritage grasses preserved diversity and were able to perform for many years compared to the performance of hybrids.
The loss of scientific research expertise, just when New Zealand is intensifying its dairying production, will place a heavy burden on farmers and cause further degradation of New Zealand's waterways and environment through nutrient run off.
The loss is extremely concerning as the research being shut down was to have benefited all farming systems, and protected the New Zealand brand. The research also studied how rye grasses affected the soil organisms and the whole symbiotic system of carbon confinement.
�The Government body funding this research has misdirected 25% of its budget to GE forage grasses that have no proof of performance or proof of safety for animals eating them or for the environment. This money is being spent despite conventionally bred perennial rye grasses with the desired traits already being grown and benefiting farmers and the environment". said Jon Carapiet.
"This misdirected policy has come at a high cost given the loss of scientific expertise that is now occurring. The decision to disband the scientific team should be reversed."
We challenge the government to maintain its funding for this important "proof of concept" laboratory research.
New Zealand has a perfect opportunity to direct funding toward sustainable agro-ecological solutions that all farming sectors in New Zealand can benefit from. It is imperative to protect the soils and waterways to ensure New Zealand's future and suit its brand and reputation long-term.
Agroecology is a highly successful systems approach and with the knowledge gained from research into understanding better pollution management we can show the world that we are dedicated to a safe sustainable system. It is this approach that will enhance New Zealand�s sustainable footprint and food values.
Crown Research Institute AgResearch has sidelined Organic and biological farming systems. AgResearch is turning into a 'me too' of Monsanto in the southern hemisphere. This is made worse by Federated Farmers president and Life Sciences Network chair, William Rolleston influencing science funding.

Looking back on that night, there were a number of things Ricky Bobby had and had not expected to happen at Larry Dennit’s annual holiday party.
For instance, he had fully expected Larry Dennit’s wife to show up three sheets to the wind, and had not been disappointed. He’d been completely unsurprised when Kevin Harvick and Greg Biffle had gotten into a dispute over the previous year’s Bristol wreck, and even less surprised when the argument turned physical, with Harvick clocking Biffle with a tray of crab cakes and shoving his head into the punch bowl. And he’d barely batted an eye--though it had been damn funny--when Tony Stewart threw potato salad at them both before breaking into the fray himself out of the sheer thrill of kicking somebody’s ass. (Rumor had it that the anger management was no longer working.)
None of these things had even fazed Ricky in the least. In his line of business, incidents of this nature had come to be commonplace, everyday occurrences.
What he had not been expecting, however, was what transpired between the Secret Santa gift exchange and Christmas caroling. He’d been sipping punch by the Christmas tree when it all went down.
“Look, Ricky,” Cal had said with such urgency, Ricky had no choice but to do so. He watched with mild disdain (that was most certainly not jealousy) as Jeff Gordon maneuvered Jean Girard beneath the mistletoe. He saw the stunned, outright dismayed look on the French driver’s face as he took a hasty step backward. And lastly, but certainly not least, he saw Gregory Schmaranzer-Girard come from somewhere out of the left side of the picture and slap Jean across the face. He saw Gregory fly in one direction, saw Jean storm off in the other.
Most baffling to Ricky--and quite possibly, the most unexpected thing of all--was the way he, himself, had reacted. As soon as he’d seen Jean beeline for the exit, his first recourse had been to shove his glass of punch at Cal and take off after him.
The winter wind was merciless, ripping at Ricky’s coat sleeve as he stepped out into the cold December night.
Jean was standing on the far side of the parking lot bordering the woods, leaning against the guardrail, a forlorn portrait of defeat. Compelled, Ricky jogged across the parking lot toward him.
“Hey Frenchie!” Jean turned warily, the look on his face one of a man sedately guarded.
“What is it, Ricky Bobby?” he inquired, a subtle ‘don’t fuck with me’ underscoring his tone and betraying his calm demeanor. “I am not in the mood for games, as you might imagine.”
“Oh, no. Of course not,” answered Ricky quickly. “I was just--” At that moment, it occurred to Ricky that he wasn’t quite sure what he was aiming to accomplish. “I--” His thought fell flat with a sigh, and he met Jean’s eyes with all the sincerity he had. “Look, I saw what happened. I guess I just wanted to make sure you’re all right, is all.”
The Frenchman wavered but a moment before composing himself.
“Oui,” he answered. “I will be fine, Ricky Bobby. Do not worry about me. Go back inside, enjoy the party.”
“Only if you come back inside with me.”
“Non. I’m not going back in there. I cannot.”
“Jean, it’s freezing out here,” protested Ricky. “Look at you, you’re shivering.”
“I assure you, Ricky. I am fine.” His insistence was somewhat unconvincing, as a gust of wind rushed over the two of them from behind, and Jean wrapped his arms tightly around himself and shuddered against the cold. “Sacré bleu.”
“Right, Jean.” Ricky arched an eyebrow at the Frenchman. “Okay. Tell you what. If you won’t go inside where it’s warm--” He paused. “I’m guessing your wife took the car?”
“Yes, I am afraid so.”
“Here.” Ricky fished in his coat pocket and pulled out his car keys, handing them to Jean. “If you won’t go inside, at least go sit in my car and turn the heat on. It’s the Chevelle down at the end of this row.”
“One condition,” declared Jean, regarding the keys in his hand thoughtfully. He bit his lip and met Ricky’s gaze, a certain air of bashful hopefulness exuding from his own. “Would you sit with me?” Ricky’s answer came without hesitation.
* * * *
They slid into the backseat of Ricky’s race-ready Chevelle, heat cranking at full blast. Jean was shivering without shame now, huddling against the leather as warmth worked its way in.
“Man, it’s cold,” remarked Ricky. “It’s colder than a polar bear’s butt crack, I tell you what.” Jean gave Ricky a quizzical look as the latter leaned forward, reaching to retrieve a plush throw blanket from the front seat. “The seats get cold,” he offered as he handed the blanket to Jean. The Frenchman wrapped one end around himself and gave Ricky the other half.
“I appreciate your kindness, Ricky,” he said with sincerity. “Truly, I do.”
“Don’t worry ‘bout it.” Jean smiled serenely, and Ricky felt his stomach quite suddenly and inexplicably turn to jelly. He wrung his hands together nervously, only to find that his palms were sweating. “So,” he ventured, somewhat uneasily. “You, uh, wanna talk about what happened?”
“What is there to say?” Jean shrugged his shoulders feebly. “My best friend kisses me under the mistletoe, and my husband speeds off, in my car, in a fit of jealous rage.”
“Guy’s got a lotta nerve,” grumbled Ricky. “He’s lucky he ain’t my wife. You know--” Presently, a thought occurred to Ricky, and he verbalized it as it came to him. “I never knew Jeff Gordon was your best friend.” Come to think about it, really, there was a lot Ricky found he didn’t know about Jean Girard.
“I do not make it, how you say, common knowledge. I am a very private person. Jeff was there for me, offering moral support to me, when Gregory and I first started having marital problems.”
Marital problems? The revelation hit Ricky like a stone in the pit of his stomach. On the surface, Gregory and Jean, as a couple, seemed more solid, more grounded, than most couples Ricky had laid eyes on.
“Gosh,” Ricky said apologetically. “I didn’t know you and Gregory were havin’ trouble.”
“It’s rather a long story, as it were,” stated Jean, with a dismissive wave of one elegant hand. “Gregory is admittedly not the most secure of people. Since we have been here in America, he has accused me of infidelity, of keeping men on the side. Ironically, I came to find that it was Gregory who was having an affair. Following the exposé, we have since separated; he departed and went to join his lover. Recently, we took steps to try and make things work, but judging by tonight’s events--” Jean threw his hands up animatedly. “C’est la vie.”
“Jean, I’m real sorry.”
“What can you do? These things happen.” Jean sighed gravely. “People lie, they cheat, they fall out of love just as quickly as they say ‘I do.’ You see it happening all the time, but you never expect it will happen to you.”
Abruptly, Jean sniffled and dragged the back of his hand across his cheek, and it was then that Ricky noticed the tears glittering in Jean’s dark eyes, flowing freely down his face.
Oh, sweet baby Jesus.
“Hey, come here. It’s all right.” Before Ricky could stop himself, his arms had wrapped around Jean’s slender waist and drawn him in close, holding him tight. A shaky sigh escaped from Jean as he settled himself against Ricky, his head finding the crook of the other man’s shoulder. All at once, Ricky found his hands trembling, his heart pounding in his chest, and he couldn’t help but wonder if holding Jean like this wasn’t more dangerous than driving blindfolded, or with a cougar in the car, or something just as equally perilous. “It’s all right,” he repeated, more to himself than to Jean, it seemed.
“Where is it,” Jean wondered aloud, “that people like you and I seem to go wrong, Ricky Bobby?”
“I’ll be damned if I know,” Ricky answered with a chuckle. “I’ve gone wrong so many damn times, I guess I’m still waiting to go right.”
“Do you believe in love?”
“Sure, I do.”
“When you figure it out, you must tell me.”
“You know, he doesn’t deserve you.” These were words that Ricky had not expected to say, words that surprised both himself and Jean.
Jean sat up and eyed Ricky curiously, hands on his shoulders.
“Ricky,” he asked suddenly, “what possessed you to come out here after me?”
“I care about you.”
Jean smiled and leaned back against Ricky, who embraced him again without faltering.
“You know, tonight was hardly what I was expecting it to be.”
“I think I know what you mean.” He ran a hand absently up and down Jean’s back. “You…gonna need a ride back home, or somethin’?”
“Perhaps,” answered Jean coyly. “Just…not now.”
They lapsed into silence, Jean reclining in Ricky’s arms in a way that felt too familiar, and Ricky starting to wonder if he wasn’t already in over his head. A thousand questions whirled in Ricky’s mind like the snowflakes now dancing across the frozen windshield--each one completely different, though significant.
Something Jean had said kept ringing out in Ricky’s head, transfixed to his memory. When you figure it out, he’d said, let me know. While Ricky pondered, with Jean sighing contentedly in his arms, he had to wonder what sort of implications this night might have for the both of them.
Since Ricky was a boy, he had heard it said that the answer to a man’s question was, most often, the answer that was least obvious. Ricky had to wonder, offhandedly, if the answer to both his and Jean’s question--where do I go right--wasn’t the one that was right in front of the both of them all along. Tonight, he knew, he wasn’t going to figure it out. He would stay here in this dark corner of the parking lot, watching the snow fall by the dim light of the streetlamp overhead, and hold Jean as long as was humanly possible. Eventually, he would drive Jean back to his estate and drive himself home.
Afterward, he would sit by the fireplace, pour himself a stiff drink, and think.
He would think about all the things that had happened, that he had been expecting.
He would pour another drink, and think of all the things that he had not.
But most of all, he would mull over every possible way of telling Jean Girard that he might very well be starting to fall for him.
