THE Drinking Water Inspectorate is still considering whether to prosecute over the outbreak of the cryptosporidium stomach bug which swept north west Wales.
Members of the Consumer Council for Water demanded yesterday that the Inspectorate publish its report into the Llyn Cwellyn reservoir at Rhyd Ddu, near Caernarfon.
It was 12 months ago that hundreds of North Wales residents were struck down by the cryptosporidium stomach bug after drinking contaminated water.
There were 231 confirmed cases but it is believed the true number could have been much higher.
Richard Edwards told the CCW Wales committee meeting in Chester: "There is a great deal of concern that this has taken an awful lot of time. I know a lot of agencies are involved but after a year people are looking for answers.
"It's a question of confidence and whether the community can regain confidence."
John Humphries said: "You talk about customers having access to information but you have had months to prepare this report and the public is still not aware of what is going on. People will be shouting 'cover up'."
But Elinor Cordiner of the Drinking Water Inspectorate said: "It is still being actively investigated. A lot of these investigations have to be conducted confidentially where we know that there is a potential prosecution.
"It is still being considered for potential prosecution."
She said if there was a decision not to prosecute, a letter would be published setting out the Inspectorate's view and any recommendations. If there was a decision to prosecute she said it would be a "considerable time" before details would emerge because of a pending court case.
Committee chairwoman Diane McCrea said; "If we do not understand what is going on, the consumers won't understand. The Drinking Water Inspectorate needs to explain what you are doing behind the scenes.
"We were told in June/July that the Inspectorate's report was almost completed, now, quite a few months later, and still nothing has changed and you are not in a position to say when there will be a change."
A report into the incident by the Outbreak Control Team is expected within a month.

I would like to introduce my first plugin for Xamarin (and .NET).
Source code: https://github.com/boguslawski-piotr/pbX/tree/master/Plugin.pbXSettings
NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xam.Plugins.pbXSettings
Plugin (actually simple class
Plugin.pbXSettings.Settings and
Plugin.pbXSettings.SettingsStorage pair) that makes it easy to handle all sorts of settings, more precisely, values of any type that is accessed through a key.
This plugin was inspired by another similar component written by James Montemagno, but I used a different approach for data handling, interface and usage.
This plugin uses the native settings storage, which means all settings are persisted across app updates, saved natively, and on some platforms synchronized between devices.
The main plugin class
Plugin.pbXSettings.Settings is fully ready for use in any binding systems because implements interface INotifyPropertyChanged. Can also be used as a regular collection, that is, it can be enumerated
This plugin uses .NET
DataContractSerializer for saving and restoring keys and values, which means you can put and retrieve practically any valid .NET object as long as it meets the requirements of this serialization technolgy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer?view=netframework-4.5.1
Just install NuGet package
Xam.Plugins.pbXSettings into your PCL project (if you have any)) and all application projects (for each platform there is at least one project).
using Plugin.pbXSettings; // on first run it should return: 0 // on next runs it should return: 1 int i = Settings.Current.Get<int>("test"); Settings.Current.Set(1, "test"); // it should return: 13 i = Settings.Current.Get<int>("second test", 13); // on first run it should return: "" (empty string) // on next runs it should return: smile, the wold will be better string s = Settings.Current.Get<string>("my string"); Settings.Current.Set("smile, the wold will be better", "my string"); // And so on, with all the basic types of data.
class MySettings : Settings { [Default(17)] public int IntValue { // You don't need to provide key name :), compiler will do it for you. get => Get<int>(); set => Set(value); } // [Default(new DateTime(2010, 10, 10))] // can't use attribute for non constants :( public DateTime DateTimeValue { get => Get<DateTime>(); set => Set(value); } // but you can use GetDefault method :) protected override object GetDefault(string key) { if (key == "DateTimeValue") return new DateTime(2010, 10, 10); return base.GetDefault(key); } // or provide default value other way public DateTime DateTimeValue2 { get => Get<DateTime>(nameof(DateTimeValue2), new DateTime(2005, 10, 10)); set => Set(value); } } MySettings mySet = new MySettings(); // on first run it should return: 17 // on next runs it should return: 34 i = mySet.IntValue; mySet.IntValue = 34; // on first run it should return: 10/10/2010 // on next runs it should return: 10/10/2000 DateTime dt = mySet.DateTimeValue; mySet.DateTimeValue = new DateTime(2000, 10, 10); // should return: 10/10/2005 dt = mySet.DateTimeValue2; // defines value that is not a property mySet.Set(true, "BoolValue");
// this uses default settings int i = Settings.Current.Get<int>("test"); Settings.Current.Set(1, "test"); // this uses 'my set 2' set, completely separate from others Settings otherSet = new Settings("my set 2"); i = otherSet.Get<int>("test"); otherSet.Set(2, "test");
foreach (var kv in mySet) { Console.WriteLine($"{kv.Key} = {kv.Value.ToString()}"); }
bool exists = mySet.Contains("IntValue"); // true exists = mySet.Contains("IntValue2"); // false // removes value from storage mySet.Remove("BoolValue"); // clears entire set of settings mySet.Clear();
public interface ISettingsStorage { Task<string> GetStringAsync(string id); Task SetStringAsync(string id, string d); } // and use SettingsStorage.Current // object which is type SettingsStorage that implements ISettingsStorage
Here: https://boguslawski-piotr.github.io/pbX/api/pbXNet.Settings.html you will find full documentation for
pbXNet.Settings class which is a base class for

Hi @PiotrBoguslawski ,
This is awesome man, I can see this plug-in is going to rock. Great
And I am sure this won't be your last plug-in.
One question, though I know this plug-in can be extended easily, just curious to ask if it supports Byte[] and Base64 String datatypes as well. If Yes, Could you update your document examples for the same, please.
Kudos for your your efforts, thanks.
N Baua
Thank you for the kind words
Yes, arrays work.
byte[] a = Settings.Current.Get<byte[]>("array"); if (a == null) { // on first run returns null (no key array in settings) a = new byte[] { 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; Settings.Current.Set(a, "array"); } // on second run it returns - a {byte[10]} byte[] [0] 101 byte [1] 102 byte [2] 103 byte [3] 104 byte [4] 105 byte [5] 1 byte [6] 2 byte [7] 3 byte [8] 4 byte [9] 5 byte
Base64 string is a normal string imo, there is nothing special about it and it will work as any other string.
You can use :
string sa = Convert.ToBase64String(a); Settings.Current.Set(sa, "base64array"); ... ... // in another place and some time later... string sa = Settings.Current.Get<string>("base64array"); byte[] a = Convert.FromBase64String(sa);
Thanks for the quick response, on the note of Base64 string, ...
I had issues with the other settings plug-in retrieving the same value back (names of author solicited - hes going great, bit occupied though). Haven't raised an issue back yet, I am trying to resolve it on own unless I have to modify the owner's code.
on your plug-in, I assume the core code still uses the string (String base class) even for larger strings like Base64, can that be StringBuilder for the performance(memory management point of view - immutability etc), just a wild thought . Please share your idea.
Thanks again for your time.
N Baua
I'm not really sure what you mean. In general, settings should not be used to store large amounts of data or important user data. For this type of data would rather use a file system or database.
In my pbX library, which I am slowly creating, you can find several different classes for this type of task. For example:
IFileSystem DeviceFileSystem EncryptedFileSystem FileSystemInDatabase IStorage<T> StorageOnAzureStorage<T> StorageOnFileSystem<T>
Oooh voila,
I guess I am falling in love with this plug-in.
I'll dig deep this on coming Sunday, can't get enough time to breath, just reached home.
Wow, this is awesome. (Yeah I am using JSON file for large data, but its kinda slow, now I got a competitor to test.)
Thanks for your reply.
N Baua

text: Adiposity: The amount of fat or lipid deposit at a site or an organ in the body, an indicator of body fat status.Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the acceptable or desirable weight, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).Adipose Tissue: Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.Body Mass Index: An indicator of body density as determined by the relationship of BODY WEIGHT to BODY HEIGHT. BMI=weight (kg)/height squared (m2). BMI correlates with body fat (ADIPOSE TISSUE). Their relationship varies with age and gender. For adults, BMI falls into these categories: below 18.5 (underweight); 18.5-24.9 (normal); 25.0-29.9 (overweight); 30.0 and above (obese). (National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)Waist Circumference: The measurement around the body at the level of the ABDOMEN and just above the hip bone. The measurement is usually taken immediately after exhalation.Intra-Abdominal Fat: Fatty tissue inside the ABDOMINAL CAVITY, including visceral fat and retroperitoneal fat. It is the most metabolically active fat in the body and easily accessible for LIPOLYSIS. Increased visceral fat is associated with metabolic complications of OBESITY.Abdominal Fat: Fatty tissue in the region of the ABDOMEN. It includes the ABDOMINAL SUBCUTANEOUS FAT and the INTRA-ABDOMINAL FAT.Body Composition: The relative amounts of various components in the body, such as percentage of body fat.Waist-Hip Ratio: The waist circumference measurement divided by the hip circumference measurement. For both men and women, a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 1.0 or higher is considered "at risk" for undesirable health consequences, such as heart disease and ailments associated with OVERWEIGHT. A healthy WHR is 0.90 or less for men, and 0.80 or less for women. (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2004)Leptin: A 16-kDa peptide hormone secreted from WHITE ADIPOCYTES. Leptin serves as a feedback signal from fat cells to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM in regulation of food intake, energy balance, and fat storage.Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.Insulin Resistance: Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS.Subcutaneous Fat: Fatty tissue under the SKIN through out the body.Skinfold Thickness: The measurement of subcutaneous fat located directly beneath the skin by grasping a fold of skin and subcutaneous fat between the thumb and forefinger and pulling it away from the underlying muscle tissue. The thickness of the double layer of skin and subcutaneous tissue is then read with a caliper. The five most frequently measured sites are the upper arm, below the scapula, above the hip bone, the abdomen, and the thigh. Its application is the determination of relative fatness, of changes in physical conditioning programs, and of the percentage of body fat in desirable body weight. (From McArdle, et al., Exercise Physiology, 2d ed, p496-8)Absorptiometry, Photon: A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.Obesity, Abdominal: A condition of having excess fat in the abdomen. Abdominal obesity is typically defined as waist circumferences of 40 inches or more in men and 35 inches or more in women. Abdominal obesity raises the risk of developing disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension and METABOLIC SYNDROME X.Body Fat Distribution: Deposits of ADIPOSE TISSUE throughout the body. The pattern of fat deposits in the body regions is an indicator of health status. Excess ABDOMINAL FAT increases health risks more than excess fat around the hips or thighs, therefore, WAIST-HIP RATIO is often used to determine health risks.Viscera: Any of the large interior organs in any one of the three great cavities of the body, especially in the abdomen.Anthropometry: The technique that deals with the measurement of the size, weight, and proportions of the human or other primate body.Overweight: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is above certain standard of acceptable or desirable weight. In the scale of BODY MASS INDEX, overweight is defined as having a BMI of 25.0-29.9 kg/m2. Overweight may or may not be due to increases in body fat (ADIPOSE TISSUE), hence overweight does not equal "over fat".Insulin: A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.Blood Glucose: Glucose in blood.Subcutaneous Fat, Abdominal: Fatty tissue under the SKIN in the region of the ABDOMEN.Adiponectin: A 30-kDa COMPLEMENT C1Q-related protein, the most abundant gene product secreted by FAT CELLS of the white ADIPOSE TISSUE. Adiponectin modulates several physiological processes, such as metabolism of GLUCOSE and FATTY ACIDS, and immune responses. Decreased plasma adiponectin levels are associated with INSULIN RESISTANCE; TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS; OBESITY; and ATHEROSCLEROSIS.Energy Metabolism: The chemical reactions involved in the production and utilization of various forms of energy in cells.Eating: The consumption of edible substances.Body Constitution: The physical characteristics of the body, including the mode of performance of functions, the activity of metabolic processes, the manner and degree of reactions to stimuli, and power of resistance to the attack of pathogenic organisms.Dietary Fats: Fats present in food, especially in animal products such as meat, meat products, butter, ghee. They are present in lower amounts in nuts, seeds, and avocados.Risk Factors: An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, environmental exposure, or inborn or inherited characteristic, which, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent.Cross-Sectional Studies: Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time. This contrasts with LONGITUDINAL STUDIES which are followed over a period of time.Abdomen: That portion of the body that lies between the THORAX and the PELVIS.Energy Intake: Total number of calories taken in daily whether ingested or by parenteral routes.Adipose Tissue, White: Fatty tissue composed of WHITE ADIPOCYTES and generally found directly under the skin (SUBCUTANEOUS FAT) and around the internal organs (ABDOMINAL FAT). It has less vascularization and less coloration than the BROWN FAT. White fat provides heat insulation, mechanical cushion, and source of energy.European Continental Ancestry Group: Individuals whose ancestral origins are in the continent of Europe.Diet, High-Fat: Consumption of excessive DIETARY FATS.Glucose Tolerance Test: A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).Body Weights and Measures: Measurements of the height, weight, length, area, etc., of the human and animal body or its parts.Hyperphagia: Ingestion of a greater than optimal quantity of food.Adipocytes: Cells in the body that store FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. WHITE ADIPOCYTES are the predominant type and found mostly in the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissue. BROWN ADIPOCYTES are thermogenic cells that can be found in newborns of some species and hibernating mammals.Sex Factors: Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from SEX CHARACTERISTICS, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from SEX DISTRIBUTION, the number of males and females in given circumstances.Diet: Regular course of eating and drinking adopted by a person or animal.Linear Models: Statistical models in which the value of a parameter for a given value of a factor is assumed to be equal to a + bx, where a and b are constants. The models predict a linear regression.TriglyceridesCohort Studies: Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics.Body Height: The distance from the sole to the crown of the head with body standing on a flat surface and fully extended.Adipokines: Polypeptides produced by the ADIPOCYTES. They include LEPTIN; ADIPONECTIN; RESISTIN; and many cytokines of the immune system, such as TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA; INTERLEUKIN-6; and COMPLEMENT FACTOR D (also known as ADIPSIN). They have potent autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine functions.Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2: A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.Puberty: A period in the human life in which the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal system takes place and reaches full maturity. The onset of synchronized endocrine events in puberty lead to the capacity for reproduction (FERTILITY), development of secondary SEX CHARACTERISTICS, and other changes seen in ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT.Longitudinal Studies: Studies in which variables relating to an individual or group of individuals are assessed over a period of time.Receptors, Leptin: Cell surface receptors for obesity factor (LEPTIN), a hormone secreted by the WHITE ADIPOCYTES. Upon leptin-receptor interaction, the signal is mediated through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway to regulate food intake, energy balance and fat storage.Metabolic Syndrome X: A cluster of metabolic risk factors for CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS. The major components of metabolic syndrome X include excess ABDOMINAL FAT; atherogenic DYSLIPIDEMIA; HYPERTENSION; HYPERGLYCEMIA; INSULIN RESISTANCE; a proinflammatory state; and a prothrombotic (THROMBOSIS) state. (from AHA/NHLBI/ADA Conference Proceedings, Circulation 2004; 109:551-556)Body Size: The physical measurements of a body.Lipids: A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)Lipid Metabolism: Physiological processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of LIPIDS.Cardiovascular Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM including the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.Sex Characteristics: Those characteristics that distinguish one SEX from the other. The primary sex characteristics are the OVARIES and TESTES and their related hormones. Secondary sex characteristics are those which are masculine or feminine but not directly related to reproduction.Receptor, Melanocortin, Type 4: A melanocortin receptor subtype found primarily in BRAIN. It shows specificity for ALPHA-MSH; BETA-MSH and ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE.Motor Activity: The physical activity of a human or an animal as a behavioral phenomenon.Pediatric Obesity: BODY MASS INDEX in children (ages 2-12) and in adolescents (ages 13-18) that is grossly above the recommended cut-off for a specific age and sex. For infants less than 2 years of age, obesity is determined based on standard weight-for-length percentile measures.Fasting: Abstaining from all food.Ghrelin: A 28-amino acid, acylated, orexigenic peptide that is a ligand for GROWTH HORMONE SECRETAGOGUE RECEPTORS. Ghrelin is widely expressed but primarily in the stomach in the adults. Ghrelin acts centrally to stimulate growth hormone secretion and food intake, and peripherally to regulate energy homeostasis. Its large precursor protein, known as appetite-regulating hormone or motilin-related peptide, contains ghrelin and obestatin.African Americans: Persons living in the United States having origins in any of the black groups of Africa.Thinness: A state of insufficient flesh on the body usually defined as having a body weight less than skeletal and physical standards. Depending on age, sex, and genetic background, a BODY MASS INDEX of less than 18.5 is considered as underweight.Glucose Intolerance: A pathological state in which BLOOD GLUCOSE level is less than approximately 140 mg/100 ml of PLASMA at fasting, and above approximately 200 mg/100 ml plasma at 30-, 60-, or 90-minute during a GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST. This condition is seen frequently in DIABETES MELLITUS, but also occurs with other diseases and MALNUTRITION.Physical Fitness: The ability to carry out daily tasks and perform physical activities in a highly functional state, often as a result of physical conditioning.Prospective Studies: Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group.Feeding Behavior: Behavioral responses or sequences associated with eating including modes of feeding, rhythmic patterns of eating, and time intervals.Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects: The consequences of exposing the FETUS in utero to certain factors, such as NUTRITION PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA; PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESS; DRUGS; RADIATION; and other physical or chemical factors. These consequences are observed later in the offspring after BIRTH.Exercise: Physical activity which is usually regular and done with the intention of improving or maintaining PHYSICAL FITNESS or HEALTH. Contrast with PHYSICAL EXERTION which is concerned largely with the physiologic and metabolic response to energy expenditure.Maternal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena: Nutrition of a mother which affects the health of the FETUS and INFANT as well as herself.Mice, Inbred C57BLRegression Analysis: Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.Weight Loss: Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.Adipogenesis: The differentiation of pre-adipocytes into mature ADIPOCYTES.Aging: The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.Glucose: A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.Mice, Obese: Mutant mice exhibiting a marked obesity coupled with overeating, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, marked insulin resistance, and infertility when in a homozygous state. They may be inbred or hybrid.Homeostasis: The processes whereby the internal environment of an organism tends to remain balanced and stable.Biological Markers: Measurable and quantifiable biological parameters (e.g., specific enzyme concentration, specific hormone concentration, specific gene phenotype distribution in a population, presence of biological substances) which serve as indices for health- and physiology-related assessments, such as disease risk, psychiatric disorders, environmental exposure and its effects, disease diagnosis, metabolic processes, substance abuse, pregnancy, cell line development, epidemiologic studies, etc.Age Factors: Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.Hypothalamus: Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE.Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.African Continental Ancestry Group: Individuals whose ancestral origins are in the continent of Africa.Metabolic Diseases: Generic term for diseases caused by an abnormal metabolic process. It can be congenital due to inherited enzyme abnormality (METABOLISM, INBORN ERRORS) or acquired due to disease of an endocrine organ or failure of a metabolically important organ such as the liver. (Stedman, 26th ed)Electric Impedance: The resistance to the flow of either alternating or direct electrical current.Western World: A historical and cultural entity dispersed across the wide geographical area of Europe, as opposed to the East, Asia, and Africa. The term was used by scholars through the late medieval period. Thereafter, with the impact of colonialism and the transmission of cultures, Western World was sometimes expanded to include the Americas. (Dr. James H. Cassedy, NLM History of Medicine Division)C-Reactive Protein: A plasma protein that circulates in increased amounts during inflammation and after tissue damage.Republic of BelarusBlood Pressure: PRESSURE of the BLOOD on the ARTERIES and other BLOOD VESSELS.Agouti-Related Protein: A secreted protein of approximately 131 amino acids that is related to AGOUTI SIGNALING PROTEIN and is also an antagonist of MELANOCORTIN RECEPTOR activity. It is expressed primarily in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the ADRENAL GLAND. As a paracrine signaling molecule, AGRP is known to regulate food intake and body weight. Elevated AGRP has been associated with OBESITY.Birth Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual at BIRTH. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.Prenatal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena: Nutrition of FEMALE during PREGNANCY.Fatty Liver: Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES, either as a single large droplet or multiple small droplets. Fatty liver is caused by an imbalance in the metabolism of FATTY ACIDS.Hyperinsulinism: A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.Caloric Restriction: Reduction in caloric intake without reduction in adequate nutrition.

Though most people realize the potential value in acquiring a college education, not everyone knows how to begin the process of pursuing one. There is so much to plan! Luckily, this piece will bring plenty of suggestions and tips to easy your transition.
Pack your enough of your essential toiletries when you go off to college. These are very important and will run out quickly with all of the times that you will be using them. Buying in bulk is a good idea as it saves money.
Bring a water bottle to school with you. It is vital that your body stays hydrated as you go about the day. This is particularly crucial if your schedule is crammed with classes and no meal times between them. You will be more focused when you stay hydrated. The sheer number of water fountains these days allow more ease in refilling water bottles.
Be realistic when planning to work while in college. If mornings are tough for you, a morning class might be a terrible idea. Know your natural body clock and adapt your schedule to flow with that as much as possible.
Seek out a student loan if you don't have the funds to cover your tuition and living expenses. Once you graduate, you will have access to high-paying jobs and be able to pay your student loans back.
Research all available funding options to help with your tuition costs. Many students don't bother learning about things that can help make college a lot easier. In addition, there are numerous state and federal grants you can take advantage of that don't require you to pay them back!
Most everyone realizes that going to school is preparing you for your future career. Yet, college is not always easy, and guidance can be helpful. Using the tips from the above article can help you make the most informed choices and increase your chances for success.

Top 10 Tips for Playing Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans - the only strategy game, inside of which I left more than $ 80. It tightens so that you can not stop. I would save myself a lot of time and money if I initially got to the heart of it and did not get scattered about the little things.
The goal of the game, as in many online strategies, is to develop its base, repel attacks and attacks on other players. Clash of Clans, I consider one of the best representatives in the App Store. It has all the criteria for a good game: beautiful graphics, fast loading and incredibly exciting gameplay.
1. Beginners are dying because they are in a hurry
Many players with the beginning of a game career immediately get out into the multiplayer. Do not do this until your development is over 8 Lvl. Otherwise, stronger players will spread your base to the nines. Up to the eighth level, play in the "offline sandbox", fighting against goblins and earning currency for upgrades to your camp. After the eighth level, click on Attack -> Find a Match. Then the fun begins.
2. Revenge
Once you clicked on Find a Match, then you go out into the open field, with you the invisibility is removed and the visits of the robbers begin.
On your base constantly attack other players. Sometimes you get by with little blood, but often raids to zero clean up the gold reserves and reduce the number of Winners' Cups (the only one at the given moment of length ...). This is very insulting. You copy and save, and someone came and took everything. Bastards, their mother!
In the history interface of the battle, opposite the description of each offender, there are four buttons: Replay , Revenge , Visit (alien base intelligence) and View Clan (view clan). Find out what kind of defense system the enemy has and the attack. If the current level does not allow, then wait until you grow up. The guilty must be punished.
3. Away from the conscience - beat the weak
In the process of searching for online opponents, you will be offered different options - from those who are lower or higher than you in the table of general rank. If you see that the victim is weaker than you, attack and do not think about remorse. First, you will save on the strength of your army, because a weak opponent has the appropriate defense; Secondly, victory is guaranteed to you in 90% of cases. Once attacked by a strong player, you will encounter pumped mages, dragons, only you will lose time and money: you will be kicked forward with your feet.
However, this rule ceases to apply to the thirtieth level, where the framework of differences between players is gradually smoothed out. For example, at 27 level I can attack 35 and win.
4. Join the clans and fight fiercely
Clans allow the army to expand beyond the established limits of the bridgeheads built. As a rule, other players respond to your request to donate warriors. "Clan" soldiers live in a separate barracks with a corporate flag. It is important that these mercenaries can not only attack, but also defend the camp, if you are suddenly attacked. In turn, share your army with others. Here it is customary to thank each other.
5. Do not get involved in in-game currency
Although the game is in the TOP-1 Cash games (revenue from one iOS-user), it can be done without an in-app purchase. It's longer, but possible. I could not believe when my "commander" level 35 on the question of how much he spent rubles on the pumping, answered that not a penny. True, the second month is playing. I reached level 20 in a week, but I left $ 80 on the battlefields. Why, you ask? By ignorance.
Less can be identified only one: the game constantly needs the Internet. Without it, she refuses to start.
If you're a fan of strategies, I recommend Clash of Clans to install. Wait for me to visit ... Nick - Nevervxydo.
6. Do not force events, otherwise you will become a laughingstock
Do upgrade to the next level, when on the present everything is raised to the maximum. Well, or almost to the maximum. Do not force events, otherwise you will become a laughingstock.
In the screenshot above, the dude spent a hundred bucks upgrading the Town Hall up to level 9, I thought it was cool. But I forgot about guns, a fence, buildings. As a result, he was surrounded by the same players with balanced villages and now he is being carried to shreds by everyone who is not lazy. And no one takes in the clan. Who needs such an idiot
7. Up to 2,300 cups can be easily played sparingly
Up to 2,300 cups can be easily played sparingly - an army consisting of Archers 6 lvl, Barbarians 6 lvl and Bombers 5 lvl. I was taught a special tactic when my clan went to the TOP and at some point there were problems with resources: I did not have time to collect for the army, as the 10 dragons flew in and took everything themselves, leaving after themselves the smoking bricks.
8. There are many clans in the game, but there are few good players
There are many clans in the game, but there are not enough good players. If you see that in the clan little give wars, and requests for donate hang for half an hour, leave this clan. But if you are lucky (like me) and you are in a normal clan, then do not run around: the old people do not welcome it. At some point you just will not be allowed back.
9. Often strong players sit on the so-called "pharma"
Often, strong players sit on the so-called "pharma", when the whole point of the game is reduced to attacks on weaker bases and the selection of money there. Remember: you can raise martial art only in conditions of equal and stronger opponents. Nobody forbids to farm, thousands of clans do it, but at least occasionally check the personal ceiling, where you can go with your wars. And do not just get there, but sit in the trenches for three days to understand, comprehend, analyze what composition is attacked by the Clash of Clans masters.
10. This headhunting
When you enter the game, first hand out wars to your clanmen, and then ask yourself - it's an unspoken rule of successful clans in the TOP 200. My clan reached 41 places in the general ranking, many could not stand nerves, because the conditions of the game in battle And on farma differ from each other, like the ocean and the swamp. Good players are noticed in other clans and real headhunting begins. If you are not hunted, you are only at the beginning of the path of your development.

A Swamp Wallaby in the Garden
Winter in 2015 was quite dry, and the Swamp Wallaby was often seen near the house – which is when I took this photograph.

The Shifting Shadow
A shadow is misshapen reality. Elongated or shortened by the angle of the sun, familiar objects appear distorted, muted, hidden. As the sun shifts, so does the shadow, and we see the world anew. Perhaps the colours are brighter than we remember or, lit from a different angle, we see the cracks that had escaped our attention. […]Read more

The Four-Way Scramble Saturday night at the FSW Arena has the same caveat that allowed Mondo Roxx to qualify for the FSW/LA LUCHA Limitless Tournament in April. Two of the four competitors, Remy Marcel, and Ice Williams have already qualified for the FSW Cash in theCase(CITC) Ladder Match and face Suede Thompson and Shaggy McLovin. If Suede or Shaggy win they will qualify for the match. The winner of the CITC will be able to cash in for a Title shot for ANY Future Stars of Wrestling Championship at ANY time. Graves and Clutch of the Bonus Boyz have also qualified.
Last year's winner Greg Romero will not be in the CITC match this year with his hands full in the No Limits division, but Shaggy and Suede are two guys who have been going in different directions. Despite being competitive in every match Suede Thompson has had his struggles in an FSW ring since last year and earning a spot in such an important match would be a great way to start a new streak. Shaggy McLovin has recently become a
|Photo: @suedethompson
Shaggy has become more confident in his game with a more aggressive attack moving forward taking the fight to his opponents. This change has led to victories and he's also showing more innovation in his offensive repertoire as he continues to fill out and get stronger. The aggressiveness has carried over into his attitude as he appears less inclined to be the "good guy." While not a Heel it's clear at this point in his young career Shaggy wants to win matches. Period. Suede Thompson made his Ring of Honor debut earlier this year and has faced some of the top guys in the company recently such as Taya Valkyrie/Heather Monroe, Shogun Jones, Andy Brown, and even his best friend, FSW Champion Chris Bey. The former No Limits and FSW Tag Champion is in the best shape of his life and very dangerous.
Or, will Remy Marcel or Ice Williams play spoilers and ruin both guys chance at a spot in the CITC Ladder Match at Sam's Town Live on Sunday, June 23rd? Who Ya Got?

First of all, I'd like to introduce you to my BFF Brit and her charming fiancé, Tim. These two are some of my favorite people in the works and I am SO super excited to be a part of their upcoming destination wedding in HAWAII this June! I've been assisting in the wedding planning and we are even more excited to be sharing the last few moths of planning and craftiness on the blog! Be sure to visit often as we keep you updated through our How-To section with lots of fun projects and adventures leading up to the big day. We've also designed their Save the Dates and Invitations which we cannot wait to share here as well. We will be designing escort cards, menus, table signs, other signage and more, so it will be fun for you to see a little more into the process of how we create design for weddings. Geoff and I are (of course) photographing the wedding and we could not be more excited! Here is a photo from their super-cute beach engagement session which we will share soon!
Brit and Tim's wedding is going to be an intimate affair of around 50 loved ones on Oahu at Kualoa Ranch (where LOST, Jurassic Park and more were filmed — I will definitely be geeking out over that!) The decor style of the wedding is "Vintage Hawaii Kitsch", meaning lots of hula girls and surfer boys, tiki gods, pineapples, bright colors, and fun. It has been so much fun to design for. Our first wedding project was a LOT of bunting. 175 feet to be exact! The bunting will line the aisle at the ceremony and will hang from the edges of the pavilion where the reception will be held. Luckily we know of an easy way to make bunting and are excited to share it with you today! Bunting is a great wedding project because you can re-use it for parties and decor later in your life. Geoff and I made some for our wedding 4 years ago and I have used ours lots of times!Gather 8-12 coordinating fabrics. One yard of fabric will make about 30 feet of double sided bunting. Be sure to get Extra Wide Double Fold bias tape. There are lots of colors out there too! Get some thread to match your bias tape and you'll need a sewing machine.The key to quick bunting is using a rotary cutter with a pinking blade. This makes cutting a breeze. And because the edges are pinked you can leave them raw. You will need a cutting mat and also have some scissors handy. A metal ruler will help guide you as you cut the triangles, or you can cut a triangle temple from thick mat board. You can download our triangle template here.
Let's get started! Begin by cutting your fabric into 6″ strips. Fold the fabric in half with selvage edges together, and fold in half again. Cut the folded fabric into 6″ sections using you cutting mat as a guide to make sure your lines are straight.Now all your fabric is in strips!Use our triangle template (you can download it here) to guide your triangle cutting. Lay the top edge of the triangle along the long edge of your strip and the use the rotary cutter to cut along side the template. I cut through about 4 layers of fabric at a time by cutting with a good amount of pressure and a back-and-forth sawing motion. The pinking does not have to be 100% perfect. After you cut one triangle, flip the template upside-down and cut your next triangle. Cut up the whole strip into triangles. If you are better with measurements, you can also use a straight edge to guide your triangle cutting. The tops of the triangles are about 4.5 inches across. Feel free to make them any size you'd like though!
After all of your triangles are cut, lay them out in the order you'd like them to be in your bunting.We put ours in a circle to make them easier to grab as we were pinning them to the bias tape. Time to start pinning! Grab your bias tape and unfold it a little to put your triangle between the layers. If you are using patterned fabric and you want your bunting to be double sided, just put two triangles wrong sides together in the bias tape. Use a pin to keep it in place. We spaced ours about 1.5 inches apart. When you run out of bias tape, simply overlap the next length of tape over the end of the first and pin down. Then keep going until you use up your bias tape or you bunting is the length you desire.Using the longest (normal width zig zag stick on your sewing machine, begin to sew in the middle of the bunting. If you sew with your pins pointing toward the needle they are easy to pull out as you sew along.Here you can see the sewn bias tape. Keep sewing until you get to the end. That's it!
I can't wait to see this bunting in action in Hawaii! Stay tuned for more fun projects from Brit and me as we finish planning her wedding!

LOCALIZED PROVOKED VULVAR PAIN (Vestibulodynia)
What is it?
Localized provoked vulvar pain (vestibulodynia) is a term used to describe pain upon penetration of the vagina. There is also tenderness to touch around the vaginal opening (vestibule) during physical examination. It occurs in women of all ages. It is estimated that approximately 15 percent of women (about 1 in 7) will experience this type of vulvar pain sometime in their lifetime. Other names used in the past to describe this pain included vulvar vestibulitis syndrome, superficial dyspareunia, and vulvodynia.
What causes it?
Researchers are studying vestibulodynia to learn more about the cause of the pain. In the last two decades, they have shown that the painful tissue of the vestibule has increased nerve endings and signs of inflammation. Although the cause is unknown at this time, there are theories that chronic inflammation from frequent yeast infections, hormonal changes, poor sexual arousal, or chronic skin conditions may trigger the pain. It is likely that there is a combination of factors involved in the cause of vestibulodynia.
What are the symptoms?
Pain with vaginal penetration during sexual activity is the most common symptom experienced by most women with vestibulodynia. The pain can be described many different ways, including burning, searing, stinging, tearing, throbbing, and occasionally itchy. Some women may experience pain for several hours or days after intercourse. Some women may also have pain with tampon insertion, or with speculum insertion during a routine gynecologic exam. Most women have pain only with touch to the vestibule, and are otherwise not bothered by pain.
What do I see?
The appearance of the vulva can vary with each woman. Some women may have redness at the vaginal opening. However, for most women with vestibulodynia, the vulva and vestibule look entirely normal.
How is it diagnosed?
Vestibulodynia is a clinical condition, which means that there are no laboratory tests or imaging studies to confirm the diagnosis. However, it is important that you see a health care provider who is experienced in the diagnosis and management of vulvar conditions. By listening to your history and performing a physical examination, your provider can rule out other reasons for your pain. Your physical examination may include a "Q-tip test": this is when your provider gently touches the different parts of your vestibule with a Q-tip to determine if and where you have pain. Your health care provider may feel that other tests are necessary; these could include swabs to rule out infections, or a biopsy to exclude skin conditions.
How can I help myself?
It is important to minimize irritation to the vulva and vagina. Avoiding soaps, detergents and scented products is ideal. Bland, unscented lubricants are best for sexual activity. Ask your health care provider for suggestions. White cotton underwear is best; thongs, G strings, synthetic fabrics, and tight clothing against the vulva should be avoided. Lidocaine, in the form of a liquid, gel, or ointment, can provide relief when it is applied directly to the vestibule. This can be used before sexual activity as a way to reduce the pain. If you experience sexual difficulties, it may be helpful to see a sex therapist. It may be best to avoid penetrative intercourse until your symptoms improve.
What is the treatment?
Many different treatment options have been tried for vestibulodynia. Some women experience a great sense of relief just knowing that the pain they are experiencing is real and has a name. With a supportive team that may include a spouse or a partner, gynecologist, physical therapist (physiotherapist), sex therapist, pain specialist, and psychologist, most women will eventually have improvement of their pain. Often, different treatment options are combined to maximize the benefit.
Since research supports that there may be changes in the nerve endings in this condition, some of the treatment options target the nervous system of the vulva. These are sometimes called "neuromodulators" or "chronic pain medicines". Examples of these medicines include the oral tricyclic medications like amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine, and desipramine. These medications are used in high doses as an anti-depressant, but they do not work in this way when they are used in smaller doses
to treat pain problems. In the case of vestibulodynia, they are used to reduce the hypersensitivity of the nerve endings. Other medicines that have been tried include gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine. Recent research has also looked into these medicines made into creams, then applied directly to the vestibule where the pain is occurring. These include gabapentin cream and baclofen-amitriptyline cream.
Other therapies that have been studied for the treatment of vestibulodynia are physical therapy (physiotherapy), sexual therapy, psychological therapy, and surgery. Physical therapy means working directly with a therapist that specializes in rehabilitating the muscles of the pelvis. Many women with vestibulodynia experience sore, tight muscles of the pelvis which contribute to their distress. Learning to relax and work with these muscles can reduce pain. Tools that the physical therapist may use include vaginal massage, heat therapy, biofeedback, and dilator work. Each of these will be tailored to the special need of the patient.
There is also evidence that women who have vestibulodynia often suffer from sexual problems. This can include low desire (poor libido), difficult arousal (poor natural lubrication or wetness), and lack of orgasm. Many couples feel troubled by their sexual problems. Engaging in sexual counseling has been shown not only to help couples with intimacy, but often reduces pain. Finding ways to have sexual activity in a non-painful way is very important towards healing.
Finally, surgery is another option that has been studied for the treatment of vestibulodynia. This is performed by gynecologists who specialize in vulvar conditions. The surgery, called a vestibulectomy, literally involves removing the superficial skin of the vestibule (painful skin), then advancing a piece of non-painful skin over the excised area. Surgical outcomes are best when it is coupled with both physical therapy and sexual therapy.
Vestibulodynia is a challenging and difficult disorder for women and couples to manage. Many vulvar experts believe that there is no single treatment that will cure this disorder. Using a combination of treatments, incorporating physical therapy, sexual therapy, and direct treatment for the vestibule skin, is often the most successful in reducing pain. With this combined approach, most women will have improvement of their pain.

SANTANA is the Frontman (Singer & Guitarist) from the psychedelic rock band Redlake Circus, whose theatrical performances have been igniting stages worldwide, becoming rapidly a must seen live act.
He has been well known by his unique psychedelic sound; from the mix of groovy Hard Rock riffs, smooth Blues licks & mystic oriental atmospheres, creating hypnotic melodies that will take you into a mind-traveling experience.
The human mind reacts differently to different sound waves according to many factors, including our individual psychic personality, mental and emotional characteristics, as also the time of day, the seasonal conditions, etc. Some waves readily induce hypnotic states, others mental clarity or heightened awareness of various emotional states and so on.
For each concert Santana plays different psychedelic and atmospheric melodies that will help us to reach that certain states of deep trance, activating elements which stabilize the consciousness and reduce mental imbalance.

Despite a decline until the turn of the century, sexually transmitted diseases could occur more frequently in the future, experts said at a press conference for the STI and AIDS World Congress 2013 in Vienna on Monday.
Bacterial diseases in this branch of medicine have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics – in particular "older" sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis as well as fungal and viral infections like HPV, Herpex simplex and HIV.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, around 448 million new cases of curable sexually transmitted diseases occurred in the 19 to 49-year-old age bracket each year. Combined with HIV there is an even higher potential for frequency of transmission.
Congress Chair Angelika Stary said in Austria the resistance in treatment efforts to gonorrhea could be observed, in particular with cephalosporin antibiotics, Austria Press Agency reported. Syphilis is able to be treated better, with normal penicillin still proving to be an effective treatment.
Also positive was National Institutes of Health (NIH) HIV/STD International Chief Thomas Quinn. He said the success of the fight against HIV/aids, for which almost 10 million people are currently in treatment, makes the goal of a generation without the affliction possible, though more prevention is required, he added.

Jamaal Lascelles has had a great season for us so far and the young Newcastle captain turned in another excellent display at the heart of the Newcastle defense on Saturday afternoon, as we withstood the massive pressure in those final 20 minutes at the Pirelli Stadium to take another valuable 3 points.
It turns out that Rafa knew exactly how the game would go and the lads practiced on the physical side of things for the match – such as getting the second ball and that preparation paid off as the lads did really well and fought tooth and nail for the points.
Jamaal Lascelles – Newcastle captain
Class always counts in the end and the two goals were well taken by Dwight Gayle – who else? – and a second goal in as many games from the in-form and our Man of the Match – Mohamed Diame.
This is what Lascelles has said in the Chronicle today:
"It's always nice for the fans. We had a little blip and a little kick up the backside from the manager."
"We're back on form now and hopefully we can carry that on." "It shows a lot of character to come to a place like this and win."
"These boys work hard and their style of play is different. But they are really good at it. Not many teams will come here and win this season."
"I think they have a good home record and they are strong and physical." "We done really well against them so I am pleased for the boys."
"They stuck to their game plan. They were massive on second balls, they were a physical team and they were very resilient."
"All week we worked on what we could do to counter that and we did exactly that."
"We were narrow and compact, and our holding midfielders were challenging for balls and the two centre-halves were getting the flick ons."
"Our talent came through by the end with our goals." "Credit to the boys but we now rest up and prepare for the next game."
"It's massive one, but to be honest every game at Newcastle is big." "Away or home it's big."
"We will prepare for it in the same way we always do."
"It will be in a professional manner and we'll get ready for it.
The last two games at Burton and at Wigan were not easy and the lads have done really well to pick up maximum points.
Next up are Sheffield Wednesday on Boxing Day with a 7:45 pm kickoff time – and we must keep up the winning streak – currently 3 games – with another 3 points.
And here's the latest from the Old Geordie Geezer.
2 comments so far
"It's massive one, but to be honest every game at Newcastle is big." "Away or home it's big."
Nice when the players finally start to get it, and it's great for fans like me who have managed to grow their fingernails back this season.
Just learned that one of my mates has bought me a DAB radio for crimbo so I can listen to the match down the alottment on a Saturday……cool!

Kaiser Continues to Improve, But Can Do Better for California
Apparently a $4 million stick wasn't big enough to encourage Kaiser Permanente in California to offer residents better mental health care in the state. While Kaiser fixed two of the deficiencies originally identified by the government agency charged with oversight of care in California, it still didn't fix two others to the agency's satisfaction.
The two issues still a problem for Kaiser are: providing timely appointments for behavioral and mental health services, and Kaiser's inability to share information with patients.
What's the point of offering mental health care if nobody can access it?
Here's what California Healthline had to say:
According to the report, 22% of medical records reviewed among Kaiser's Northern California facilities failed to meet state guidelines for timely access to care, compared with 9% in Southern California.[…]
The report also found that Kaiser staff had misled patients about what benefits were covered and, in some cases, recommended patients seek care from somewhere else.
The problem of providing timely appointments is a simple one to fix — hire more clinicians. Problems in hiring clinicians? Offer more money. Don't want to offer more money — or hire more clinicians — because it'll cut into your multi-billion dollar profit margin?
Well, sorry, nobody's going to feel sorry for you.
When one in five of your patients can't access services in a timely manner, that's a problem. According to Kaiser's internal reporting of access wait times, by the end of 2014, the problems had been fixed. But according to the independent review of 297 random patient records (taken from earlier time periods), 22 percent of patients still didn't get a timely appointment.
Obviously there are still problems in the Northern Region of California, which has the biggest volatility in its access rates. It's not clear what was causing the volatility, but once they started hiring external providers via ValueOptions, access rates skyrocketed and maintained for the latter part of 2014.
This suggests that Kaiser could have fixed the access problems much earlier on, had it simply contracted with ValueOptions sooner. Why didn't it? It's not clear, and Kaiser isn't saying. It could have had something to do with the cost of outsourcing to external clinicians, or the belief that Kaiser would be more successful in hiring its own clinicians.
The trend is encouraging however. It appears that — after years of complaints about its inadequate mental health services in California — Kaiser is finally fixing them. The real question is whether Kaiser will maintain these gains when they are no longer under the regulators' scrutiny.
