2019 Global t20 Canada – Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights Preview & Prediction
When is Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights taking place? Thursday 8th August, 2019 – 17:30 (UK)
Where is Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights taking place? CAA Centre, Brampton
What is the expected weather for Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights? 23c but scattered thunderstorms could cause plenty of disruption
What television channel is Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights on? FreeSports (Sky Channel 422)
Where can I stream Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights? Premier Sports subscribers can stream the match via Premier Player
Where can I get tickets for Brampton Wolves vs Vancouver Knights? Tickets for this match can be purchased here!
Last meeting: Vancouver Knights beat Brampton Wolves by 8 wickets
- Following Brampton Wolves' first defeat in their inaugural appearance in the Global T20 Canada, they were robbed of the opportunity to bounce straight back as their game with Edmonton Royals was abandoned.
- After he was rested against Vancouver Knights, Shahid Afridi was expected to return against the Royals but a few extra days off for the veteran could do him the world of good as the tournament heads towards its climax.
- The Wolves will be looking towards opening pair George Munsey and Lendl Simmons to get them off to a good start whether setting the total or chasing whilst Ish Sodhi will also have a key role to play as he remains the leading wicket taker in the tournament.
- Vancouver Knights' game with Winnipeg Hawks was abandoned as they were unable to build on their brilliant victory over Brampton Wolves in their last game but should mean they are still full of confidence as they face the Wolves again.
- Daniel Sams was the key man in the last contest between the two after his four-wicket haul helped his side to an eight-wicket victory with Shoaib Malik and Chadwick Walton putting on an unbeaten 100 partnership.
- Chris Gayle suffered a run out the last time these two met but he will be keen to make amends for that after only scoring four runs and the West Indian will want to ensure he ends the tournament as the highest run scorer with him posting 277 so far.
This looks like a fascinating contest in the first play-off game of the Global T20 Canada. The winner will progress straight to Sunday's final whilst the losing side will get another chance to progress in Saturday's second play-off. Both teams look evenly matched but the Knights were sensational in their last contest between the two and that may be difficult to turn around for the Wolves. This could be tight but the Knights can be the side to progress to the final.

6 Ways to Help Your Child with School Phobia (Social Anxiety)
Back to school season is here. Children are getting ready to go back to school. Some are excited about it, but some are not so much. For the younger age's group, some of them tend to have a hard time leaving their parents to school or they are anxious about school for a variety of reasons. School Phobia as know as School Refusal is children who have problems going to school or staying in school.
Here are some tips to help the children who are facing that issue.
- Self-help methods could provide relaxation to your child. Be open to new ideas
- Communicate with your about their feelings of school or in general
- Work with school staff for extra support or direction
- Schedule an informal meeting with your child's teachers.
- Help your child to create hobbies and interests (Sports teams, Clubs, etc)
- Emphasize the positives about going to school. (Friends, New Materials, etc)
Most importantly, your children need your support to get through those situations. As long as they understand you will be there for them with their physical and mental supports.
A Case of Iritis
It's a scary situation when one day you can barely open your eye and when you did, all you can feel is pain. Not only was it painful but also your eye looks like it had been lit on fire. This was a scary thing that happened to me. I had no clue what had happened to my eye. I did what every typical person would do I called my doctor. I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with Irisits. What the heck is Iritis? In simple terms it's inflammation located at the iris of the eye. When the iris is inflamed, white blood cells (leukocytes) are shed into the anterior chamber of the eye where they can be observed on slit lamp examination floating in the convection currents of the aqueous humor (http://www.iritis.org/index.php). The doctor told me Iritis could develop from an autoimmune disease or spontaneously happen. In my situation it was spontaneous. For the first few weeks of treatment he gave me two eye drops to take Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride Ophthalmic (dilating solution to prevent scaring) and Predinisolone Acetate (steroids to reduce inflammation). It was imperative I take my steroids drop every hour and my dilating drops every 4hrs. Remembering to take these drops was a challenge for me with my busy schedule. I had to find a solution to my non-compliance. I found the e-pill Multi-Alarm TimeCap http://www.epill.com/eyemed.html to be very useful. Not only did it carry my eye drops it reminded me to take and told me when I last used the drops. Who would have thought a tiny little pill bottle would keep me on track with my Iritis medication drops.
What will the cost be for Mom's or Dad's automatic medication dispenser?
Helping your parents manage his/her medication can be a challenging task to take on. Taking their medications correctly and on time is crucial to maintaining a healthy life.
The current system you have set-up probably entails you to sit down with them once a week to sort the different pills they take. You probably call them daily to tell them "Mom/Dad take the blue, white, red, pill at this time now…. etc."
More pills mean more confusion on when and how to take them, especially when they are prescribed medications. The consequences of taking too much or the wrong kind can be deadly.
There are many solutions to helping them take the right meds at the right time. There are pillboxes, timers, watches, and your daily phone call, etc.

Arthur Li, BHP class of 2006, is Head of Business Finance and Administration for Altamarea Group, a highly respected and industry recognized restaurant group in New York City comprised of Marea, Ai Fiori, Costata, Osteria Morini, Nicoletta, and The Butterflyin New York City; Osteria Morini and Due Mari in New Jersey, and Al Molo in Hong Kong. Arthur graduated with degrees in BHP and Plan II, and earned his MPA the following year. We recently spoke to him to find out more about Altamarea Group and his role there.
Tell me about your career path leading up to what you are doing now.
During my 5th year I was working for J.P. Morgan in Austin in the investment banking group with restaurant industry focus. After graduation I stayed on with the same group. I was fascinated by the restaurant industry and loved food, but knew I wanted to work in finance, so this opportunity combined both perfectly, and I got to stay in Austin. After a year, I transferred to J.P. Morgan's consumer retail investment banking coverage group in New York. In November 2008, I moved on to Wasserstein & Co., a middle-market private equity firm. I spent two years there, and got some really great experience and got to learn more about other industries. But I was working 80-100 hours a week and starting to feel a little burnt out.
In 2010, I decided to do something new and different and started to explore something in the restaurant industry. I started looking at smaller restaurant groups in New York and other ways to get into the industry. I had always been reading the food blogs and keeping track of the hot restaurants in the city. One day, I came across a New York Times article on Altamarea Group. It was the first time I heard about the group, but after reading the article, I knew this could be my dream job. One of the owners, Ahmass Fakahany, who was previously the CFO of Merrill Lynch, had made the jump into the restaurant industry like I wanted to do. I figured if the group was growing that rapidly, maybe they could use an extra finance person. With nothing to lose, I emailed the generic jobs email address letting them know my interest in joining the group, and within days, Ahmass reached out to me. We had a few meetings, then the day before Thanksgiving, he offered me a position as Head of Finance for Osteria Morini. A year after joining Altamarea Group, I was promoted to serve as Head of Business Finance for all of the restaurants in the group. I currently manage a team of seven who perform day-to-day book-keeping, accounting, operational finance and administrative activities. I also work closely with senior management in growing the company, both organically at each of our current locations and through new restaurant expansion.
What appealed to you about Altamarea Group?
The group is entrepreneurial. We are building the business from the ground up. It is a very different scene, which I love. I traded Park Avenue for Soho. I have a lot of room to mold and shape the strategy of the group. I get to work with the best of the best in the industry and interact with GMs and chefs. I work with so many kinds of different people, which I love. I enjoy getting to see all aspects of the business – HR, operations, business development, construction. Plus, I get to call Chef Michael White, a multiple Michelin-starred, James Beard award-winning, and Relais & Chateaux chef, my boss.
What are the challenges and rewards of working in the restaurant industry?
In banking and private equity, we were able to move so quickly, because that is the nature of finance. It is not the same pace in the restaurant industry. The vendors we work with don't move at that pace, so there are always road blocks and delays. It is definitely a challenge to move at a slower pace, especially when we are trying to execute such an aggressive growth strategy. There are also a lot of different personalities to manage, which can be exciting but also admittedly challenging at times. On the flip side, when our restaurants are successful as they are, that is the most rewarding feeling. When our clients are happy, we are happy. I work with all our chefs and GMs to figure out how we can maximize not just the top-line but our profitability as well. I literally go down every line item of the P&L to figure out how we can spend less to make more. It is also very rewarding when we open a new restaurant. I treat all our restaurants as if they are my children. Every new restaurant we open is like having another baby for me.
What is the growth plan for Altamarea and what role will you play in that?
We currently operate seven restaurants now, and we are excited to be opening six more this year – two in New York, one in New Jersey, and one in Washington DC. We are also opening a new concept in London next month, which is truly exciting. No two of these restaurants are the same concept, which makes it challenging but fun at the same time. Beyond 2013, we are actively looking at other markets for expansion, including Los Angeles and Asia. We feel like we have a lot of growth in front of us.
I work very closely with Ahmass and Michael, as well as our media relations, business development and legal teams, and play a role throughout the entire opening process, from lease negotiations, capital budget planning, design and construction, to opening. When we are opening so many restaurants so quickly, it is extremely important that we are managing our cash flow optimally. This falls squarely on the finance team's shoulders.
How did you learn all of the elements of your job that you didn't already know?
I am a relentlessly hard worker and will do as much as I can as best as I can to figure something out. A lot of it is just problem-solving, which I learned a lot of from BHP. I started with a good knowledge base and have been able to learn throughout my career the other aspects of managing a business and managing people. If you are smart, a hard worker and know how to work well with people, you will do well. Attention to detail and organization are also very important. I juggled a lot in college, so I feel like I learned a lot of these soft skills during that time. Problems, emergencies, dilemmas are so common in the restaurant business, it is important as a leader to remain calm and rational so we can figure out how to put out the fires.
In what other ways do you feel BHP prepared you for your career?
I was really into BHP when I was a student. BHP classes were my favorite. I was a recruiter, peer advisor, and a TA for BA 101H. I have realized over the course of my career that group projects and cases were very valuable experiences. I have been able to problem-solve and manage people better because I had a head start on this in college due to the interactive nature of BHP classes. Also, my focus on networking and getting involved put me ahead and helped set me apart in my job search.
What advice do you have for current students?
Regardless of whether they plan to go into finance, something finance-related, or even a non-finance career, accounting is a really important skill to have. I oversee the finance team, and when we are hiring junior people, a candidate with accounting background automatically stands out. Take your accounting classes seriously even if you don't pursue this as a major or career because that knowledge will set you apart and will prove to be useful down the line in life. Also, take advantage of being part of a small cohort within the BHP community and get to know as many people as you can. Coming to New York, I knew a lot of people in New York who were BHP, and our worlds frequently collide. It is great to have that BHP connection, especially when we are so far away from Texas.

If you crating the slice in FW, you can change the *type* of slice by
selecting it, and making the change in the Properties Inspector. Or in DW,
you can just delete the graphic. You'll have an empty table cell in which
you can add some text.
A word of warning, though. If you are using the html page and table crated
by FW, the table could *break* if you add too much text, or if the viewer of
the page has different text default settings.
The best recommendation is to create your design in FW, slice as needed,
then build the table within DW and insert the graphics. It will give you the
most control and flexibility.

China and the United States have recently formed an agreement to eliminate tariffs on tech products, which will likely result in closer economic ties between the two countries. Upon reflecting how US/China trade relations have improved over the past few years, it is surprising how much misinformation there is on importing products from China. When companies seek to import products through firms like ITI Manufacturing, they should consider the truths behind the following misconceptions.
We've Found the Best Supplier
Many times, importers form such a close relationship with a Chinese supplier that they become dependent and lose competitive advantage. An importer should be confident in adding to its supply chain, but there are usually better options available. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2009, China had over 99 million manufacturing workers, compared to just over 14 million in the US. With a constantly evolving marketplace and substantial over-capacity in many sectors, companies should regularly re-evaluate supplier performance and find alternate suppliers when necessary.
Increases in Labor Rates Make China Less Competitive
China's wages have grown tremendously over the past ten years. However, the current hourly wage for a Chinese manufacturing employee is under $2 per hour, which is less than 9% of the US' average hourly wage. Suppliers often use news headlines as motivation to raise prices beyond the increased labor cost, but importers who know how much of a product's cost is composed of labor expenses can ensure that price increases are legitimate. While Chinese wages are rising, it is still highly competitive with US factories.
Chinese Suppliers Don't Outsource
Long-time importers are likely to believe this misconception. However, Chinese suppliers frequently outsource parts of the manufacturing process such as machining and finishing due to capacity limitations. Here, outsourcing isn't the main concern; rather, it's not knowing how or when a process has been outsourced.
In deciding which misinformation about importing products from China would make the list, it became clear that there's a grain of truth to each of the included statements. However, with help from ITI Manufacturing, industry leaders can rise above the rhetoric. In the next few years, it will be very interesting to see if similar misconceptions will prevail in emerging markets.

Stock market investing provides a great vehicle to potentially earn a lot of money. Knowing how to go about investing with solid strategies is the best way to ensure good results. Read on to learn some advice and tips to keep in mind when you are first dabbling in the world of stock investing.
Stay within reality when setting your investment goals. It is rare to have overnight success in the stock market, unless of course you do high risk trading. Prudent people know to avoid such high risk activity due to a great chance of losing a lot of money. Keep that in mind and you will prevent mistakes from being made in your investments.
Always track the market before you decide to enter. Studying the stock market at length is recommended before purchasing your first investment. In general, watching the market for three years is the recommended time before making your initial investment. This will give you some perspective and a better sense of how the market gyrates. This will make you a better investor.
Stocks are more than paper used for trading. While you are the owner of this paper, you are also a part of a group who has ownership in the company. This grants you rights to company earnings. You are also generally given the chance to vote for who should be running the company, and what actions they may take that affect shareholder value.
If you want to assemble a good portfolio that will provide reliable, long-term yields, choose the strongest performing companies from several different industries. Although the overall market trend tends to go up, this does not imply that every business sector is going to expand every year. Having positions across various sectors can help you capitalize on growth of the booming industries and make your entire portfolio grow. If you re-balance your position on a continuous basis, your losses in the industries that are not growing or are losing ground is minimized. Furthermore, you can hold your position to prepare for the spurt of growth.
Spread your investment money out among different stocks. Put no more than 10 percent into any one stock. Therefore, if your stock eventually starts to crater, you will not have risked all of your money.
Never invest all of your money into stocks for a company that you work for. It can be risky to own stock of the company that you work for. If something happens to your company you are out of pay and stock. Although, if employee shares can be purchased at discount, it might be a good bargain and worth purchasing.
It's fine to invest in stocks that are damaged, just not damaged companies. The best time to buy stock in a company is when its stock price takes a temporary tumble; as long as the downturn really is temporary, the profits can be great. Dips in stock values can be due to several different small, short-term problems that have viable solutions. While this is true, one that goes through financial scandals might not have the ability to bounce back.
Cash isn't necessarily profit. Look at your own financial situation as a business that requires a certain amount of cash flow. It is always essential that you have enough money outside of the stock market that you can pay for your normal living expenses. Take out some cash and keep it around for a rainy day. Leave the rest invested.
Do your research before picking a stock. Often, new companies and stocks are hyped up to appear to have great potential and people buy stock in the heat of the moment. Then the company under-performs and investors lose out.
It is generally best to follow a constraint strategy. To do so, look for stocks that are not in high demand. Identify the value of under appreciated companies. Popular stocks are often sold at a premium. That is not usually going to be a wise investment. By seeking the lesser-known companies that have decent earnings, you may be able to find an underdog.
Try online stock trading if you would like to save money. You can find stock trading firms on the Internet that are much more affordable than normal brokerage firms. Look online for deals and reviews. Two popular choices for online firms are TradeKing and Fidelity.
Make sure you are prepared for the long-term investments. The stock market goes up and down, so a long-term investment will bring about larger average gains. If you want to make longer term investments, you have a better chance of getting a positive return.
As said previously, you can make a huge profit with stock investments. Once you know what to do, you will be amazed at your earnings potential. Take advantage of all of the advice given to you.

Another photo shoot from Edinburgh 🙂 What I love about fashion is that you can enhance the beauty of any type of body! I'm the type of girl who has never been able to love herself and to have confidence in herself. However, fashion, and more especially selecting "original" pieces to wear it in your daily life is something that helps me to get over this lack of confidence. Is it the same for you guys?
Having said that, some of you might think that I'm only wearing these clothes for photo shoot. Well…it's not true. I'm currently working for a financial company; hence, I have to wear smart clothes everyday. However, I have never been a big fan of classic and black outfit (there are obviously some exceptions :)) and, as said previously, I love fashion because it allows you to show to the rest of the world which type of person you'd like to be -or which type of person you are-; that's why I try everyday to add an "original" and "funny" touch to all my working outfit! Yeap, who said you couldn't wear a polka-dots trousers and look smart at the same time?! 😉 Also, these heels, despite the height, are super comfy; you can actually wear it the whole day and go dancing the whole night without having painful feet! Thanks #Asos for that! 💁♀
I'll let you enjoy some of the captions we took of this "Childish but smart" outfit 😉
Hope you'll like it and have a great weekend guys! ♥
Truthfully Yours, xx

Tax Expenditure Transparency Act
The legislature finds that the state's tax code includes tax expenditures enacted to achieve a variety of policy goals for the public interest. The ultimate goal should be for the state's tax system to reflect sound principles of taxation. In order to make policy choices going forward regarding the best use of limited state resources, the legislature concludes that it is necessary to articulate the legislative intent and have measurable performance goals for each tax expenditure created. It is also necessary for a comprehensive tax expenditure report to be compiled to assist the legislature in deciding whether or not to continue existing tax expenditures.
Model Policy
Short Title.
This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Tax Expenditure Transparency Act.
Section 1.
(A) For purposes of this section, "tax expenditure" means a provision in the tax code that provide incentives for particular kinds of activities or that give special or selective relief to certain groups of taxpayers. "Tax expenditures" are considered deviations from the normative tax base.
(1) "Tax expenditures" shall not include:
(a) deductions to arrive at income under an income tax;
(b) exemptions of business inputs under a sales tax;
(c) deductions or credits used to offset a discriminatory tax or fee.
(B) For any bill introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate that adopts a new tax expenditure or expands or extends an existing tax expenditure, the bill shall include legislative intent provisions, establishing the policy goals and any related metrics.
(C) All existing tax expenditures without legislative intent provisions establishing policy goals and any related metrics shall have these sections added. Existing tax expenditures must have these provisions added before the scheduled performance review.
(D) A comprehensive report detailing every tax expenditure and its effect on state revenue shall be compiled every ten years, including fiscal notes for each tax expenditure.
(E) On a ten year rolling schedule, subsequent to the comprehensive tax expenditure report, all tax expenditures shall be reviewed to determine if they are meeting their stated legislative intent and are worth the cost of continuing.
Section 2. {Severability clause}
Section 3. {Repealer clause}

Travelers who use Interstate 705, State Route 7 and Pacific Avenue to reach southbound I-5 now have a shorter detour in place to reach southbound I-5.
On Nov. 16, design-build contractor Skanska opened a temporary ramp that connects drivers coming from Tacoma's city center to southbound I-5 at an earlier location near the SR 16 exit.
Opening this new ramp to southbound I-5 will allow crews to remove temporary tubular markers that, for six months, have restricted eastbound SR 16 drivers from accessing the west side of South 38th Street.
By removing the temporary markers, drivers will have access to both east and west South 38th Street from all directions of I-5 and SR 16.
WSDOT would like to remind and encourage drivers to pay attention to work zones and drive for conditions during this holiday season.
Visit the Tacomatraffic.com web page for updated HOV construction information. Real-time traveler information is available from the WSDOT app at http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Inform/mobile.htmand by following the WSDOT regional Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/wsdot_tacoma.
After a two-year closure, a key downtown Tacoma thoroughfare is reopening for all users of the road.
On Friday, Nov. 16, McKinley Way over Interstate 5 reopened to vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. When fully complete, the new overpass will sport two 10-foot-wide sidewalks, two six-foot-wide bicycle paths, a median and a left-turn lane. The original McKinley Way configuration had narrower 6-foot-wide sidewalks and had no dedicated bicycle lanes, median or turn lane. A diagram of the before and after design is available online at http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/I5/MStToPortland/OverpassDetails.htm. One sidewalk will remain closed for continued construction.
The overpass has been closed since summer 2016, when contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation demolished and rebuilt it to make way for additional lanes on I-5.
"We truly appreciate the patience people showed while detouring around this closure," said WSDOT project engineer Gaius Sanoy. "This is a huge milestone signaling that we're reaching the end of this project."
This overpass is the second that WSDOT's contractor, Max J. Kuney Company, rebuilt in the project to widen I-5 for HOV lanes through Tacoma. In an earlier stage of the project, the Pacific Avenue overpass was demolished and rebuilt. Both new overpasses were built to modern earthquake standards.
Construction to build a new southbound I-5 bridge across the Puyallup River is scheduled to begin in February 2019. This project will also demolish and replace the L Street overpass spanning I-5, and finish replacing the existing concrete pavement on I-5 between McKinley Way and Portland Avenue. Once this final project is complete at the end of 2021, travelers will have a continuous HOV corridor between Gig Harbor in Pierce County and north of Seattle.

Make a difference in the life of a family caregiver. The Alzheimer's Association is currently recruiting local volunteers to facilitate an evening Family Caregiver Support Group in Tacoma.
Family Caregiver Support Groups provide a consistent and caring place for caregivers to learn, share, and gain emotional support from others who are also on a unique journey of providing care to a person with memory loss.
Our chapter-trained volunteers receive excellent training, ongoing support, resources, and continuing education opportunities. Individuals who are often best qualified as support group facilitators include: working or retired social workers, nurse and other healthcare professionals, educators, clergy, counselors, and former family caregivers. Commitment of at least one year is required

Catholic Community Services of Western Washington has been selected to receive a four year $5 million grant from the Day 1 Families Fund to expand their mission of creating a safe, loving and nurturing environment for homeless families in need of affordable housing in Pierce County.
The grant will allow Catholic Community Services to significantly expand support to children and families experiencing homelessness, including a well-resourced day center focused on providing immediate response and support to homeless families. It will enable the community to reverse the trend of increasing family homelessness and to significantly reduce its prevalence. Over the duration of the four-year grant CCS anticipates problem solving with more than 2,800 families and diverting 650 families to immediate housing options.
"We're thrilled to receive this grant as we celebrate one hundred years of service to vulnerable children and families and kick-off our Centennial Appeal For The Poor," said Denny Hunthausen, agency director at Catholic Community Services. "This grant is an encouraging sign that together, we are committed to addressing this challenge. It will have a considerable impact on family homelessness in Pierce County and we are grateful in this season of Thanksgiving."
The organization's employees and volunteers come from many faith traditions to serve and support poor and vulnerable people through the provision of quality, integrated services and housing. Since 1918, the Archdiocese of Seattle has worked to organize efforts to aid the poor.
Catholic Community Services of Western Washington is one of 24 nonprofits to receive the first Day 1 Families Fund grants, totaling $97.5 million. Recipients from around the country include: Abode Services, Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, Community of Hope, Crossroads Rhode Island, District Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH), Emerald Development & Economic Network (EDEN) Inc., FrontLine Service, Hamilton Families, Heartland Family Service, Housing Families First, JOIN, LA Family Housing (LAFH), Northern Virginia Family Service (NVFS), Primo Center for Women and Children, Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA), SEARCH Homeless Services, Simpson Housing Services, The Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte, The Salvation Army of Greater Houston, UMOM New Day Centers and Urban Resource Institute (URI).
Founded by Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos, the Bezos Day One Fund consists of two programs: the Day 1 Families Fund that provides grants to nonprofit organizations fighting homelessness, and the Day 1 Academies Fund that will fund and build a network of pre-schools in low-income communities across the country. The Day 1 Families Fund's vision comes from the inspiring Mary's Place in Seattle: no child should sleep outside. A small group of expert advisors provided input to the Bezos Day One Fund team to select these organizations. The Day 1 Families Fund will be awarding grants annually. For more information, visit www.BezosDayOneFund.org/Day1FamiliesFund.
Social Security is the cornerstone of retirement plans for most Americans. The program continues to evolve and for individuals preparing to start their Social Security benefits, changes may impact their retirement plans. With some knowledge and a few simple tips, one might save thousands of dollars.
Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources, in partnership with the Social Security Administration, will host Social Security Retirement 2019, a fast-paced presentation for anyone currently receiving or anticipating their benefits in the next year. This free informational workshop will be held Monday, Dec. 3 from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department Auditorium, 3629 S. D St. in Tacoma.
This presentation will offer strategies that can maximize benefits, including ideal times to start receiving benefits and advantages of making claims based on spousal work history. Participants will also learn how to negotiate the rules about working, either full or part time, while receiving benefits.
Kirk Larson, Western Washington public affairs specialist for the Social Security Administration, will be presenting. Using his 25 years' experience working for the agency, Larson has provided important information about retirement and benefits to communities along the west coast and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows to discuss Social Security issues.
"The Social Security program has been much talked about," said Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources manager Aaron Van Valkenburg. "Current and prospective beneficiaries need to get the facts, so they will know what's coming. It is especially important for individuals planning on retirement in the next year or two need to be accurately informed. We are fortunate to have a Social Security expert explain the changes and how best to navigate the system."
One of the best ways to understand benefits is by utilizing the "my Social Security" account online at http://www.ssa.gov/myaccount. Participants are encouraged to create their personal "my Social Security" account and print out their social security statement before attending this presentation. If you need assistance, Kirk Larson will be available after the presentation to help set up your account.
This presentation is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required. For more information about the presentation call the Aging and Disability Resource Center at (253) 798-4600 or 1 (800) 562-0332.
The deadline is fast approaching! The Medicare annual election period, during which people with Medicare can enroll in a Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plan, ends Dec. 7.
It's important to take this time to evaluate your health care choices. Even if you're already enrolled in a plan, your insurance company's drug formularies, provider networks and copays may change in 2019. Plus, your health care needs – such as the doctors you visit or the medications you take – could be different than they were last year.
Here are four simple steps to help you decide which kind of Medicare coverage is best for you:
- Review your current Medicare health plan.Look at what you've spent on health care in the past year, including hospital expenses and prescriptions. Evaluating what you spent in 2018 will help you decide whether your current health plan meets your needs, both financially and medically.
- Know your optionsfor Medicare coverage:
- Original Medicare(Medicare Parts A and B): Provides basic coverage for medical services and supplies in hospitals, doctors' offices and other health care settings. Original Medicare does not include coverage for most prescriptions and includes cost-sharing in the form of deductibles and coinsurance.
- Medicare Advantage(Medicare Part C): Includes all the coverage offered under Original Medicare, and typically also includes prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plans may include additional benefits as well, such as dental, hearing and vision coverage; a nurse advice line; and a fitness program. Medicare Advantage plans are offered through private insurers, like Humana, and are steadily gaining in popularity: The number of Americans choosing this option is expected to climb to 36 percent in 2019, up from 33 percent in 2017, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
- Medicare Prescription Drug Plans(Medicare Part D): Offers coverage for prescription medications. Such a plan can be added to original Medicare, a Medicare supplement (Medigap) plan or to some Medicare Advantage plans (that do not include prescription drug coverage), some Medicare Cost Plans, and some Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) plans.
- Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans: Pays most costs not included under Original Medicare, such as deductibles and coinsurance. These plans do not have a set provider network, and enrollment is not limited to the Medicare Annual Election Period but they are often subject to underwriting. These plans are also sold by private insurance companies, like Humana. Medicare supplement plans on the market today do not include prescription drug coverage.
- Comparison shop.Research a plan's out-of-pocket costs, and its network of doctors and hospitals. Check to see if your prescriptions are on your plan's formulary (list of covered drugs), as these can change each year. Compare plan benefits, such as dental, vision and hearing benefits; a fitness program; virtual doctors and behavioral health coverage.
- Ask an expert.You are not alone! There are resources if you have questions:
- If you prefer to learn more in person, you can attend a seminar in your area or meet with a licensed sales agent. To find out about Humana seminars or speak to a Humana licensed sales agent call 1 (877) 877-0714 (TTY: 711) 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, seven days a week.
- If you prefer to do your research online, you can visit websites such asgov and humana.com/medicare to view and compare plans in your area.
- You can also call 1 (800) MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) (TTY: 1-877-486-2048) 24 hours a day, seven days a week for 2019 Medicare plan information to speak to someone by phone.
This is the time to make the best choice for you in the new year! Again, the Annual Election Period ends Dec. 7, so be sure to make your decision for Medicare coverage that starts Jan. 1, 2019.
By Catherine Field, Humana Intermountain Market President
Washington's Department of Labor & Industries has released preliminary draft rules that spell out possible changes for salaried workers in the state. Changes to these rules will mean more employees will be entitled to overtime, minimum wage and paid sick leave.
One of the key changes updates the minimum pay allowed to consider a salaried worker exempt from overtime in Washington. It's been more than 40 years since this figure has been updated in our state. Salaried employees earning less than the salary threshold are required by law to receive overtime, minimum wage, paid sick leave and other protections of the Minimum Wage Act.
"A strong economy goes hand-in-hand with a strong and well-supported workforce," Gov. Jay Inslee said. "Updating and modernizing this decades-old rule is necessary as people who work extra hours should be paid for their labor."
Under this proposal, L&I is considering increasing the salary threshold to between 2 and 2.5 times minimum wage starting Jan. 1, 2020. As part of the proposal, L&I is looking for feedback on whether the higher salary threshold should be phased in based on employer size or geographic location.
Other possible changes to the rules include aligning the state and federal job duties tests, which are used to determine if an employee who is salaried is exempt from overtime.
The proposed changes are a result of early discussions and input L&I has received from business and labor representatives over the last six months. L&I also took input from the public on an earlier proposal at feedback sessions held in October in Tumwater, Everett, Richland and Spokane.
Employers and workers are encouraged to attend an upcoming L&I feedback session to learn more and provide input:
- Seattle, Nov. 27, 10 a.m., The Swedish Club, Stockholm Room
- Yakima, Nov. 28, 10 a.m., Hilton Garden Inn, Rainier Room
- Vancouver, Nov. 29, 10 a.m., L&I Vancouver office
Input on the latest draft proposal will also be accepted online and by email through December 14. Feedback from the public will help L&I develop the official draft rules, which will be released when the formal rulemaking process begins in early 2019. The process will include public hearings where people can provide on-the-record comments.
There's more information online about the overtime rules process at www.Lni.wa.gov/OvertimeRulemaking. People can also sign up for updates through L&I's Employment Standards' listserv at https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/WADLI/subscriber/new?topic_id=WADLI.
To better meet members' needs and expand access to care, Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), a leading health and well-being company, is teaming up with MDLIVE, a leading telemedicine services and software provider, to provide Humana Medicare Advantage members virtual access to behavioral health services in select Washington counties.
Humana is including the virtual visit benefit on certain Medicare Advantage plans offered for the 2019 plan year. Members who choose plans with this benefit can access clinicians through personal computers, telephone or mobile devices for a wide range of non-emergency mental and behavioral conditions, such as addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, grief and loss, life changes, panic disorders, parenting issues, postpartum depression, relationship and marriage issues, and stress. Virtual visits are scheduled appointments for a future date and time. Initial appointments will typically occur within five to 10 days from the time an appointment is first made or requested.
Virtual visits can be beneficial for people who might need to see a clinician on the weekend or evenings, or when they are traveling. It can also be beneficial for those who may not have access to transportation or are unable to drive.
"For people to achieve their best health, we must care for both their physical and mental health. Virtual visits allow our members to receive behavioral health care when and where they need it," said Catherine Field, Intermountain Region Medicare President for Humana. "It's important that we offer our members access to behavioral health services in a timely manner and reduce some of the barriers that prevent people from getting the mental health care they need."
All virtual visit psychiatrists and therapists are U.S. board certified and in-state licensed and/or credentialed in the states they practice. The clinicians can provide psychiatric diagnostic evaluation, individual or family psychotherapy, ongoing behavioral health evaluation and management.
With the member's consent, Humana utilizes its clinical data technology to ensure individual health records are available to MDLIVE medical professionals and the MDLIVE clinician's treatment plan, including any prescriptions, is shared with the member's primary care physician.
Humana will offer the virtual visit benefit on the following Medicare Advantage plans with a $0 copay per visit on all of these plans:
- Humana Gold Plus HMO plan in Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Whatcom and Skagit counties.
- HumanaChoice PPO plan in Clark, Cowlitz, Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Walla Walla, and Whatcom counties.
- Humana Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan(for people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid) in Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Thurston counties.
People with Medicare may select these plans during the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Election Period, which runs through Dec. 7. Those selecting a plan with this option will be able to start using the benefit Jan. 1, 2019.
Since introducing the physical health virtual visit benefit on some Medicare Advantage plans in 2016, 85 percent of Humana members who used the service and took the post-care survey ranked their experience as either good or excellent.
Washington Medicare beneficiaries living in Clark, Cowlitz, Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Walla Walla, Whatcom and Skagit counties who are interested in utilizing MDLIVE should visit Humana.com/Medicare to research these plans and learn more about this and other plan benefits.

Monitoring your employees to the point of death means that you've created a generally toxic environment that isn't founded on a culture of organizational trust.
Of course most companies do not have explicit monitoring in and around their org but it doesn't have to be explicit to be felt by employees.
In other words, sometimes it's "just in the water" and monitoring of your staff's time doesn't have to be just through clocking-in and clocking-out.
The leaders of the organization create the culture that can make or break the staff in the short and long-run. But, most of the great staff will have already left by then.

The Beginner's Guide to Health
Success Comes with Health and Fitness
Health and fitness has become more and more important in recent decades. The era that we live in puts a high level of importance on physical health. Doctors and medicines are not the only way we can get the look and feeling that we desire, you can lose weight or become more fit and get the results you want. Before we go any further I would like to comment that losing weight or being fit is no easy task. But if you do get the result you are looking for you will be grateful for putting forth the effort and you will want to show off your results.
The large amount of fitness centers, health clubs, spas, exercise programs, supplements, etc. shows the increased importance people are putting on health and fitness. Facilities such as these offer health and fitness options to the public. The demand of these businesses has increased as it seems like everyone is wanting to be fit and participate in a healthy lifestyle. Older generations are showing interest in active lifestyle as they approach retire and look for ways they can stay healthy wants they stop working. A healthy lifestyle is more than just working out, it takes consistent effort to be healthy and could take years before you start seeing the results you desire. Depending on your starting point it could take longer as it is harder to repair the damages once they are done.
One of the most common questions people ask when first getting into health and fitness is, "How can one tone or tighten muscle?" It does not matter where the muscles are: hands, stomach, arms, legs, or back. You should know that it is not a smart move to only strengthen or tone specific body parts. In order to be healthy one should not focus on one part of the body but instead on the body as a whole. To burn fat and calories you should do some sort of cardio exercises, these will also work to strengthen your heart. The question you might have now is what are cardio exercises? These exercises can consist of jogging, walking, swimming, jumping rope, etc.; they are anything that will increase your stamina and get your heart pumping.
There are a lot of reasons why people say they cannot exercise. One of the most typical reasons they will give is that they do not have enough time. What people do not realize is that when you choose to make health and fitness a priority, you will make time for exercise. You should know that it will not take a lot of time commitment for you to start seeing results. You need to find an exercise plan that fits your personally and your schedule, if you do that you will benefit.

Excerpts from Daniel Carter's poetry manuscript, Miller's Ridge, a finalist for the 2015 TS Book Prize.
Before he became Miller, Miller
saw a movie that faded out on lovers
falling through the sky, turning end
over end and pressing their blurred bodies
close. The image comes back to him,
like a prophesy, when O'Connell
shakes his hand. Tall, O'Connell
is, in handsomeness, Miller's
twin—he pulls the star to him,
holds him close like a lover:
"Miller," he whispers, "somebody
will always be with you in the end."
Their first shared episode ends
on a tropical tarmac, O'Connell
and Miller exhausted, their bodies
protecting a crate of the cure. Miller
lists off exes but leaves out a lover.
The camera zooms in, frames him,
loves him as O'Connell says to him,
"Imagine a show with no ending,
every episode a model of lovers
meeting." Miller weeps as O'Connell
goes on. "I wasn't there, Miller,
when you stood over her body—
but there are shows that bodies
never leave. The star gives to him-
self a chance to go back, Miller,
again and again. The show will end
and begin." A wink from O'Connell.
"And begin again. For every lover
an episode and every episode a lover.
Miller, imagine a woman whose body
is always new." Miller hates O'Connell
for giving these poor fantasies to him—
what he likes about film is the end,
the pleasure of a black screen. Before Miller
was Miller, he loved shows, loved the end
each body held for him. Before O'Connell
was O'Connell. Again, O'Connell
comes on, and Miller's still Miller,
but now his past's reflected back to him,
his missteps and lost lovers—
and always Marilyn's body,
that shot from season one's end.
In season two each episode ends
with a monologue from O'Connell,
a shot of Miller's eyes. Some bodies
never leave some shows, but Miller's
been searching, and his ex-lover
must be in some plot without him.
Ghostly Marilyn was always, for him,
a body disappearing toward an end.
"That's mercy," he thinks, "to see a lover
and then her end." It's O'Connell's
voice that brings him out of it. Miller
becomes Miller: Miller with a body:
Miller with plagued memory. Her body
grew thin and pale in front of him—
and then, ghostly, she came back to Miller,
first in a dream and then again. The end
Miller dreamed of died when O'Connell
stepped onto that tropical tarmac; his only lover
became the show, and shows need lovers
to begin again, each kiss embodying
the will to go on. The lines O'Connell
whispered seep in and grow in him:
"Episodes may close, but they never end."
Form is always a return—this Miller
knows and has learned to love. Yes, Miller
had a lover once, and that lover
was his to hold. He held her in the end,
in the hospital, and watched her body
go. And now she's walking toward him,
out of the jungle—her return O'Connell's
gift. O'Connell looks to Miller, says to him:
"A lover's new body. A new episode. No end."
Critics have described season six, titled Hunting Season, as a madcap sprawl over the English moors, a cross between Looney Tunes and Sherlock Holmes that veers, at times, toward The Pink Panther. And despite its comic affectations and slapstick plays for ratings, the Los Angeles Times has declared the season's heart "pure Miller's Ridge," its core struggle "a personal grudge match with emotional roots that trail back five seasons."
Yes, the season has human drama to spare, but the writers are taken with the idea that evil also needs an inhuman face. "Miller must finally look into the void," they say to each other, although "overarching theme" is how they sell it. Like a rabbit floating alone in space or a detective who learns it's not a killer he's after but just the way the world works. Like a finale that ties off every string but leaves a layer of dread.
The problem of pollution is proposed, and early storyboards from the period show dark clouds advancing over the Ridge, sick trees with black bark and a dark machine, vague hints of eyes coal red in the woods. But the year is 1988, and environmentalism has yet to take its upward swing. Instead, the season will speak to emotional regression, the feeling of feeling a loved one grow old and slip away. As Miller every season becomes more Miller, in season six, every day he sees his father become less himself. Like a bad joke that comes to be expected, each episode, from a bear on a stage, the audience knows Miller will find a way to step out of the hunt and into the hospital, to hear his dad misremember a story about when he was young.
In an episode titled "Dead Man's Tale," Nurse Jane's staked out the hospital entrance, but Miller slips past on a gurney, disguised as a corpse. Under the blanket he's battered and blue, ashy-faced and green at his gills, some of it makeup and some the marks of a hard season on the foggy moors. Inside, he wanders the halls, a zombie on the night shift trailed by a nurse with a needle and a prescription to kill. And somewhere there's an old man in a wheelchair—the problem with visiting Alzheimer patients is you never know where you'll find them. Or when. Alone in the ward, each hears footsteps and voices in empty rooms, and each imagines for the episode a different theme. For Jane it's revenge, for Miller regression. And for the old man, it's the experience of having to put two and two together, again and again. Miller may see his father as slipping away, undergoing a steady season of coming undone, but for the older man every moment is its own episode, every sensation a clue, and each mystery a show in its own right, ready to go spinning off.
"If the Ridge is, historically, a show that sees Miller lose himself only to always find his way back," one critic remarked, "season six might be read as instructing us to prepare for a time when the return ticket is found too dear. Or as asking the audience to accept a future in which something strange and alien, something not-Miller, is all that can be offered."
Daniel Carter is the author of two chapbooks: Here Both Sweeter (Kent State University Press) and This Apparatus (Furniture Press). His poems have appeared in Salt Hill, Barrelhouse, Mid-American Review, Crazy Horse, The AWL and elsewhere.
Form, and especially the sestina, is, for me, about getting up and doing it again. Figuring out a trick to make the next line come off OK. And then the next poem and the book. Miller's Ridge is a love song to serial TV—to Twin Peaks and The X-Filesand Gilligan's Island. It's a way to think about characters who go through the motions for seasons on end and the writers who get up and write episode #542, figure out a way to make a catch-phrase new again. It's an attempt to think about form, repetition and creativity in relation to life and to soap opera. Read more excerpts from Miller's Ridge.

Renewal Problem @ith Forms That Have Hidden Fields Inside of a Text Area in Docupresentment (IDS) 2.6
(Doc ID 2100700.1)
Last updated on MARCH 29, 2019
Applies to:Oracle Documaker - Version 12.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
When creating a renewal using data retrieved from archive, a User gets a DSI Timeout error if one of the forms has data in a hidden field inside of a text area. The DSI Timeout error happens after clicking 'Work on Forms' when creating the renewal. If there is no data in the hidden fields inside text areas in the archive record you are pulling, then the error does NOT occur. So it appears to be an issue with loading the data from archive into the new renewal transaction. Based on the logs it looks like IDS is having trouble with the DPRLoadImportFile with the i_DPRAddWIP request.
It is only an issue trying to flood the fields from the previous transaction's data in archive into the new transaction's fields that are in a text area.

A flamboyant, homophobic and antisemitic showman, Rockwell's theatrics and oratory find an echo in movements on the modern far right
On 28 August 1963, the day Martin Luther King Jr delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech on the national mall, an American Nazi arrived early.
George Lincoln Rockwell, the media-savvy, pipe-smoking founder of the American Nazi Party, was blatantly racist, homophobic and antisemitic. Just 17 years after the US and its allies had defeated Nazi Germany, he had tried to hold a rally celebrating Hitler's birthday in New York.

We're proud to be one of the housing associations* involved in Benefit to Society.
This innovative campaign is producing a guide for journalists on how to avoid stereotyping of social housing tenants.
So far the campaign has collected the views of more than 450 tenants on negative stereotyping in the media. Read more about the campaign here.
Our tenants Richard and Mo recently joined 20+ other social housing tenants (see picture) to discuss the survey results and help put together the shape of the guide, which is being written by Rachel Broady from the National Union of Journalists.
The guide encourages the media to look at the facts about who lives in social housing (70% are working or retired; 23% are unable to work due to disability or caring responsibilities, according to the most recent English Housing Survey), and to look for the real stories, not rely on lazy stereotypes.
Richard and Mo and the rest of the tenant editorial group believe that social housing is a step up, not something that holds you back: having somewhere decent and affordable to live lets you get on with the rest of your life.
The guide will be launched the week before Housing Day in September 2017.
*The Benefit to Society Campaign is sponsored and supported by:

Sled Insure, a New York-based insurance company that specializes in snowmobiles, experienced a growth in business after launching Powersports Insure in 2017, Corbett Godwin, a licensed broker with the company, told Powersports Finance.
While Sled Insure already offered coverage on powersports vehicles, Godwin explained that customers weren't completely aware of this. The rising demand for powersports insurance led to the launch of Powersports Insure.
"We started with Sled Insure and we are licensed all the way from Maine to Alaska," Godwin said. "A lot of our customers had no idea that we did boats and motorcycles, so we launched powersportsinsure.com and that's the new brand we're going to start building as big as Sled Insure."
Powersports Insure is a separate website and is focused on the insurance of motorcycles, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles.
Sled Insure "doubled business" in 2017, which was one of the company's biggest years, Godwin said, with 2018 starting stronger than the same time the prior year. As the company increases its size and potentially hires more employees, Godwin hopes to connect with more dealers in 2018.
The company also launched Watersports Insure in 2017, which provides coverage for boats and other marine vehicles.

Planets have been leaving the United Planets for an alien alliance, including Xanthu, though Legionnaires have discovered the Khunds and others have been staging invasions by third parties so they can act as saviors and dirty the U.P.'s good name. Evolvo has created a machine for Leland McCauley that accesses the time-space anomaly known as the Fires of Creation, currently being investigated by Andromeda and a number of Legionnaires. And Chameleon and Sensor have each taken a leave of absence from the Legion, having been recalled home after a small scandal.
The Nova Express is ferrying, among its passengers, the Durlan thief known as the Composite Man through Alliance space, when a Sklarian with phasing powers shows up, introduces herself as Kono, and frees the Durlan. Passengers and crew jump into escape pods and are left stranded, as the Science Police and U.P. government wonder how this might be connected to the planets' defections. Then the news cycle hits and it becomes clear: The Durlan is being used as an excuse to foster xenophobic sentiment about Durla, a U.P. world.
How else would you turn an entire union against itself if not by making it completely paranoid? This is pure, evil genius at work! I understand the inherent fear a shape-shifter can produce in other races, but the reaction of the members of the U.P. still seems an overreaction. One Durlan gone bad and the whole race should be blamed for his sin... At this point, it doesn't really matter how the team is going to defeat the Dark Circle, what I really want to know is how they will fix all the problems they create. How is Durla going to react after this affront? Are the planets that left going to be welcome back without consequences? I guess it's the political side of the story that's keeping me going right now. It's very complex and there's room for so many different avenues. I'll be very disappointed if the process to bring everything back to the way it was isn't well developed.
We are definitely on the cusp of finding out what the heck has been happening with the various alternate Legion realities that have cropped up. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I do wonder if the new looks are actually from some of those alternate realities. If so, what does that mean for the originals? In other words, is it a transformation, or is it a switch? I feel like we should get more of an explanation. The Legionnaires are a bit too matter-of-fact about it, especially considering Brainy just got a total personality change. Not clear how much Andromeda and Kinetix have changed - Andy looks like a mechanic, and Kinetix is like Mary Jane Watson in a bustier.
- All-inclusive Legion numbering: 1998/10.
- First appearance of Kono in the Reboot timeline; she first appeared in the Five Years Later era, and became a member of the Legion.
- The Fires of Creation give certain heroes a make-over in this issue, namely: Andromeda, Brainiac 5 (renamed Brainiac 5.1 by Gates), and Kinetix. Other changes, like Umbra's hair style, will prove to merely be artistic license.
- On the final pages, Spark and Live Wire are translated from 2998 to 2968, the Silver Age era of the Legion (and thus become Light Lass and Lightning Lad). The date appears to be March 23rd, which in 1998, is two days before the issue was on the stands. The clock says 23:47:47, possibly an allusion to the Legion's first appearance in Adventure Comics (v1) #247.
- The next issue blurb says "Adventures in Action!", referring to the two comics series that originally published the Legion's stories, Adventure Comics and Action Comics. It also features a checkerboard pattern, just as did the covers of DC Comics through most of 1967.

Medical Indemnity Reforms
At the height of the indemnity crisis in the 2002, many practitioners faced uncertainty about the future of their practice, with some thinking about leaving the profession all together.
The AMA played a pivotal role in stabilising the industry by bringing the profession together, and working with Government, to design schemes that were more equitable and affordable for practitioners.
However, these protections looked to be under attack when the Abbott Government's national commission of audit indicated the need to review these schemes in early 2014. Subsequently, the Government cut these in schemes by $36 million in the 2016 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO). Around the same time the Government also announced a full review of the schemes – which could have led to further funding cuts and increasing uncertainty for the entire medical profession.
Following extensive lobbying by the AMA, the reviews into the Medical Indemnity Schemes have been focused on maintaining stability, the importance of affordable indemnity insurance and affordable health care, and the precarious international experience of indemnity insurance.
From an AMA perspective the schemes have been a resounding public policy success and we have advocated strongly that they should be retained largely as they are.
In December for MYEFO 2018‑19, the Government announced that they were accepting 17 of the 19 recommendations from the Review and maintaining funding at the 2016 levels.
The announcement from Government sees:
- No cuts to the Premium Support Scheme.
- No cuts to the High Cost Claims Scheme.
- Retention of the Run Off Cover scheme.
- A level playing field for Universal Cover arrangements.
The AMA has long been a champion of a secure medical indemnity industry – this is what has given certainty and protected doctors and patients alike for the past 16 years.
Accordingly, the AMA has welcomed this announcement, given that it provides the necessary stability for medical indemnity insurance into the future and allows doctors to continue to practice securely. The only savings arising from this Review will come from removing access to these schemes by non-medical practitioners (such as pharmacists) – a move strongly supported by the AMA.
There are a range of changes to the schemes arising from this review which include:
- The streamlining of administrative processes to modernise the schemes and make them more efficient.
- The maximum risk surcharge for medical practitioners will be limited to three times the premium amount – a positive outcome as a significant increase would have had a detrimental impact.
- The amended legislation will mandate a dispute body for universal coverage to come under the Financial Ombudsman Service, the details of this body will be prescribed in the rules and will mandate that medical practitioners will be on the review panels.
However, as with most Government announcements the real devil is in the detail of the proposed legislative and regulatory changes that will enable the reforms to take place. The AMA continues to work co-operatively with the Commonwealth to ensure that these reforms are limited to this announcement and that they will deliver continuing certainty for the medical indemnity insurance industry.
The Government is still proposing to introduce the required legislative changes to progress these reforms early in 2019 and is planning a meeting in March to discuss the draft amendments. This process will take eight separate pieces of legislation consolidating them into one single Act.
