Reviews of Kwara Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Kwara Staff make the difference
The amazing variety of wildlife in this area made our safari special. The staff here made our stay outstanding.
Our guide, Keone, was magnificent and the greeter/coordinator was also fab.
Kwara Camp review
Best for big cat viewing. Guides Piet and GnT were an excellent team and worked very hard to deliver interesting game drives. We would like to add a special note about Piet. An English, solo travelling, lady joined our group mid way through our stay. She was extremely demanding of Piet and required almost one-to-one attention. In our view she had been badly advised (not travelling with Expert Africa) and was totally unprepared for seeing nature in the wild. She was only interested in "pretty animals" and was selfish in her demands and behaviour towards us and the guides. Piet demonstrated outstanding patience and diplomacy in trying to balance her requirements with those of the three of us other guests on the vehicle. We are aware that she made a complaint and whilst we made assurances at the time to Piet, GnT and Janet, we want to add our comments to assure the team at Kwara that they could do no more in the circumstances.
We felt that the tents would benefit from some refurbishment. We didn't experience many mosquitoes but they would have little problem coming up through the gaps between floorboards. The canvass was pretty mouldy in places and the bed linen was very tired. That said, the location on the lagoon with the views (and sounds) of the hippos, impala, warthogs and baboons on tap was wonderful.
Again, we have the reservation that 6 guests to a vehicle looks cramped - we were lucky and only had 4, which was fine.
A wonderful introduction to the Okavango
A well appointed camp with an authentic safari ambience.
Efficient,friendly,relaxed staff who established easy rapport with guests.We liked sitting at a communal dining table which allowed guests to share the adventures of the day and we valued the contributions of the guides who joined us..
Our guide and tracker were outstanding.
kwara camp
another superb camp at least matching if not surpassing lebala.
game drives were awesome, extremely flexible were happy to accomodate a full days safari. Janet the manageress was incredible and could not do enough.
leopard spotted on 2 occasions with great sightings, cheetah also seen on 2 occasions, lions were very prevailent and numerous were seen
Excellent Kwara camp
In spite of exceptionally high water levels, our driver always got us through mud and swamps (and pulled out other vehicles on a couple of occasions) so that we had excellent sightings of leopard, lion and cheetah.
The overall quality of guiding was outstanding.
The tents are slightly smaller than average, but are well equipped.
The boat ride was a highlight of the stay.
Very good all round camp with lots to do
We thoroughly enjoyed this camp. We had good game viewing especially as the guide worked hard to find things for us.
Birding was very good as well.
Boat trip was exciting particularly the ride back in the dark!!
Kwara Camp review
We had an amazing time at Kwara and the team there were excellent. Although the menus were the same as at Tau Pan, the quality of the cooking was far superior and so was the bush lunch.
Tusseaud the manager is excellent and professional. Any issue with the rooms or anything else were promptly dealt with.
The concept of the rooms is good but they really need to put some capital into the camp and up-date it to a level like Xakanaxa. Cleanliness is an issue as well.
Our guide, Keone and our trekker, Sherlok were excellent.
I would say that what is missing in the camp are the final touches on service training the camps as sometimes the ladies taking the plates from the table were very abrupt without doing it on purpose as they were very nice. The Kwando lodges do need a better variety of dishes and especially vegetarian ones.

Highlights were the wild dogs and a pair of mating lionsRead more about the whole safari
Kwara Camp review
I visited Kwara last year and just had to come back. It did not let me down.
The best of Kwando safaris guides are here, even though David has left. Jacob and G.T were my team this year, and did everything they could to find what I wanted. 4 out of the 5 of the cheetah cubs from last year have survived, what a mother! Following a nervous female leopard for ages without interfering with her (building trust for later observers). African wild hunting dogs found after a kill and 3 Cheetah brothers, observed, diamond formation and setting off at top speed towards their target- what a privilege!
The 7 male lions have now separated and have created their own territories but I've been informed occasionally, 5 still get back together. Many elephant and giraffe. Walking safari here too. Gcodikwe lagoon, hippos and sundowner, another G and T. Very good accommodation, in great location and the food and service here is excellent.
Thank you to all concerned.
Fantastic Kwara
Kwara is not as luxurious as Lebala because it is slightly older, so the tents are in fact tents and nothing like as spacious as the "bungalows" at Lebala there is some electric lighting.
However, it is beautifully situated on a lake with about 80 hippos in amongst tall trees through which the vervet monkeys swing. Also there were considerably fewer mosquitoes than at Lebala.
Once again the service and friendliness of the staff was faultless and the food excellent, although perhaps not quite as sophisticated as at Lebala.
I very much enjoyed the mix of water activities which was a welcome change from constant game drives at Lebala.

Easy Fiesta Rice
Recipe by andypandy
Rice cooker recipe from Wolfgang Puck.
Top Review by Gerry
We rice lovers gave this one the thumbs up, it's an excellent recipe. Replaced my large rice cooker after many years of use - then spotted the smaller unit and came home with both. Made my first Fiesta Rice in the large cooker and it was absolutely lovely- then found how wonderful the small one is for two to four people. Now I make versions of your recipe when ever I am wanting a seasoned rice. So easy - so good - perfect every time! Thank you for a recipe that the whole family enjoys!

Canada's trade surplus declined substantially in February as exports to the United States and the rest of the world declined sharply while imports edged up, the latest figures from Statistics Canada show.
The federal agency said Thursday that the trade surplus dropped to $292-million from $1.9-billion in January as overall exports fell 3.9 per cent to $39.6-billion.
Energy and automotive products were the main contributors to the decline.
Imports increased 0.2 per cent to $39.3-billion as prices rose 1.0-per cent.
The trade surplus with the United States, Canada's biggest trading partner, fell to $4.8-billion from $6.1-billion as exports fell 3.8 per cent to $29.3-billion.
Exports to countries other than the United States fell four per cent to $10.3-billion as the country's trade deficit with the rest of the world rose to $4.5-billion from $4.1-billion in January.
"In real terms, the picture was not much better, with export volumes down 3.5 per cent and import volumes down 0.8 per cent," said TD Economics economist Dina Cover.
"After trending up steadily during the second half of last year, it appears as though Canadian exports are losing some steam," Ms. Cover wrote in a note.
However, big gains in exports in the final two months of 2011 had provided a strong hand-off for the first quarter "so even with the drop seen in January and February, net exports are still expected to be a significant contributor to growth in Q1," she said.
Ms. Cover said that going forward, exporters will continue to be faced with a challenging environment, "notably an elevated Canadian dollar and weak economic growth in Europe."
"That said, despite some weaker than expected data out of the U.S. recently, the economic recovery stateside is expected to remain on track, suggesting that demand for Canadian-made products from our largest trading partner will improve," Ms. Cover added.Report Typo/Error

The term apprentice however still conjures up images from earlier times, of a young person in a leather apron making barrels, hand-looming cloth, silver smithing, or shaping a red-hot piece of iron on an anvil. However, if that's what pops into your mind, think again.Twenty-first century apprenticeships are more sophisticated and progressive, and are found in modern fields beyond the blue collar such as IT and cyber security, advanced manufacturing, energy, construction, healthcare, transport and logistics and hospitality. Indeed, many of today's most attractive knowledge economy jobs can be learned through apprenticeships.

American Idle: Breaking A Morning Sweat Just Standing Around Cowboys Stadium
This morning, Arlington's Krystal Lenee took her eighth shot at American Idol.
Alex Wolens
The parking lots in front of the Cowboys Stadium were full up by 6 this morning, as people flocked towards the stadium, registrations in hand to try out for the next season of American Idol.
Some were dressed in flamboyant, eye-opening ensembles; others, in nightclub and house-party attire. Idol camera crews paced up and down the lines, rousing the crowd for good footage. But that was pretty much the extent of the activity from outside the stadium. There was very little singing: Many contestants, it seemed, wanted to preserve their voices for the judges. One girl courageously performed for a camera crew, but forget her lines mid-verse. The press wasn't invited indoors, so you'll have to wait until the show airs on TV to find out what happened once they got inside.
Check out more photos from the long line of future stars here in our slide show complete with would-be's bios, not to mention someone claiming to be impregnated with Zac Efron's love child, ahem. And, after the jump you'll find a brief video to set the scene.

2010 Happiness Challenge: For those of you following the 2010 Happiness Project Challenge, to make 2010 a happier year – and even if you haven't officially signed up for the challenge — this month's theme is Order. Last week's resolution was Don't get organized. Did you try to follow that resolution? Did it help to boost your happiness?
This week's resolution is to Follow the one-minute rule. This rule holds that if I can do a task in less than a minute, I should go ahead and do it — no procrastinating. Scan a letter and toss it, put a dish in the sink, hang up my coat, etc. Following this rule means that, to a large extent, the scum of clutter in my life is under control, and for me, as for most people, outer order contributes to inner calm.
If you want to read more about this resolution, check out…
Need a simple and effective way to get your life under control? Try the "one-minute rule."

NOTE: I was thrilled to be invited to join the YouTube Partners Program, which means that I get to customize the page for my YouTube Channel. I haven't managed to do this yet, but stay tuned (excuse the pun). I hope to make it more inviting and rich. While you're watching the weekly video, please subscribe to my channel!
* Speaking of new features, I'm also thrilled because now, when you post something in your Happiness Project Toolbox, you can check a box so your entry also appears on Facebook. Yay!

This timeline is about a slightly alternate version of the Space Race with the Arms Race slowing down as NATO and Warsaw Pact nations disarming their nuclear arsenals. Military bases are established on the moon with the United States establishing Fortification Ridge in the early 70's. As of 2010 numerous national and international moon bases are established for civilian and scientific use. Computers are a bit more advanced than OTL due to the USSR and US sharing computing technology in the 70's.
Points of Divergence/Differences
- Lee Harvey Oswald misses Kennedy and shoots him in the shoulder and is arrested.
- Kennedy survives and serves the rest of his term in office.
- The Soviet Union lands on the moon in 1967.
- Project Horizons is given the go ahead.
- Skylab is boosted into a higher orbit and is still used today.
- Mir is hijacked by a crazed terrorist in 1987.
- The European Space Agency is more advanced than in OTL with a small moon base in the 1980's.
- A joint British/EU military base is established on the moon in 1989.
- Australia is a minor power in the space race along with New Zealand.
- Russia is more peaceful, the Ukraine crisis doesn't happen as Putin was kicked out of office in 2003 after apparent corruption.

More than 12,000 general duties police officers will undergo enhanced weapons training to deal with "active shooter" situations like the Islamist massacres that rocked Paris and terror attacks like the Martin Place siege.
Two months before the siege, the state's top counter-terror policeman, Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch, conceded that cops on the beat in NSW needed more training to respond to a gunman in a public place.
While the Tactical Operations Unit members are the elite in dealing with mass shooting and siege scenarios, it is uniformed cops who are generally first at the scene, as was the case when Man Haron Monis stormed the Lindt Cafe in December with a shotgun, taking 18 people hostage.
"If someone walked into Wynyard station with a machinegun and started letting shots go ... we know from the overseas experience that those things generally last between seven and 10 minutes," Assistant Commissioner Murdoch told a News Corp publication in October.
"The [tactical unit] won't even be out of the car park in seven to 10 minutes. Our current policy and level of training is one of containing and negotiating ... but if you've got someone in there letting shots go, you can't just stand on the outside."
It appears that NSW Police have taken seriously warnings from the counter-terror chief and repeated calls by the police union for more weapons training. The union will this week seek to make the matter an election issue.
In a statement to Fairfax Media, NSW Police said: "A specially commissioned working group will present findings to the Commissioner's executive team early this year in regard to extensive research into active shooter incidents."
The union, the NSW Police Association, expects an announcement on enhanced arms training on top of the two days a year instruction officers receive, but is also calling for long-arms training and a rifle to be installed in every police car in the state.
Association president Scott Weber told Fairfax Media on Sunday: "We want long-arms in every car. That will be part of our pre-election submission [to be sent to all state election candidates this week].
"NSW Police have the capabilities to deal with any incident but all our members want extra training. From our point of view it definitely has to happen and we expect it will."
In October, Assistant Commissioner Murdoch said extra training was necessary but warned it could not be fast-tracked because of the logistics involved. There are more than 12,000 uniformed police around the state.
It is not known whether the weapons competency of officers will form any part of the post-siege reviews by NSW Police and the joint federal-state review.
But the joint review will examine how Monis, a former security guard, ever came to have access to a shotgun.
The review, being conducted by the heads of department representing Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Mike Baird, has been cleared to make any findings public despite misgivings by some police that a political investigation could muddy the more thorough coronial inquest, which will begin later this month could take many months to complete.
A spokeswoman for the Coroner's Court said: "The State Coroner has no concerns with the review reporting in accordance with its terms of reference as per the arrangements agreed between the review and the NSW Coroner's Court.
"The State Coroner, and those assisting him, have been working closely with those responsible for the Commonwealth and State Joint Review since it was established to avoid any confusion or any unnecessary duplication."
Nick O'Brien, an associate professor at Charles Sturt University's graduate school of policing and security, a former British counter-terror policeman, said the review could provide information to allow experts to judge the success or failings of the siege response.
"Part of the problem we have got is that we don't know what kind of information police had in front of them. Did they have video feed or sound feed into the place?" he said.
In his experience, he said, police would have used silent drills to get a fibre optic cable inside the cafe to see and hear what was happening.
Associate Professor O'Brien said a "quick and dirty" investigation like the one being prepared for federal and state cabinets was justified because police need to be fully prepared for any future terror attack and already have learned the lessons of last time.
"We could have one next week," he said.

Care Taker for William & Margaret McDunnough - Parents and Cancer Patients
This doctor has consistently made both of my parents who both had terminal cancer wait more than two hours for every appointment. When he finally comes into the room and I ask him why we waited two hours he chuckles. In that environment of course you make lots of new acquaintances who are also under treatment and everyone has expressed that this doctor has no regard for anyone's time but his own and make people consistently wait for hours on end without reason. Unfortunately both of my parents were in a position where they had no choice but continue to see Dr. Danish. Otherwise I would have made a change after the first one or two experiences. This is unacceptable for terminally ill patients when every moment of their life counts. The last thing they should be doing is sitting in a doctors waiting room watching the clock tick away. When he finally entered the office he spent a totally of 7 minutes with my father. When I asked the Doctor to call me to discuss he did and then proceeded to yell at me telling me that if I don't like it to never to step foot in his office again. He had the gall to tell me that my Father wasn't complaining about the wait whereby I had to explain to him that my 80 year old stoic father wouldn't complain because he believed that the Doctor was probably handling people who were sicker than him. What is sicker than terminal? This Doctor has not ethics, cant run an office and is dismissive, rude and arrogant. He apparently has been doing this way too long and doesn't care about the patients but only about packing as many in his office in a day as he can fit without regard to their time or their care. Finally, when talking to my Father about my recently deceased Mother he couldn't remember that she was even his patient and kept mispronouncing her name and had no idea she had died from her cancer while under his care.

I do NOT recommend that anyone go to Dr. Danish! He is arrogant and condescending. He thinks nothing of making very ill patients wait over 2 hrs. and makes no apologies. He is indecisive with his treatment plans, provides no follow up care between visits and overall leaves his patients feeling confused. He does NOT respond well to questions from patients or their family members and doesn't explain his treatment process. Awful experience!

This doctor is as bad as his unorganized and incompetent staff
If you or a loved one has a rare or unusual cancer, I do not recommend Dr. Danish. He does not have the ability or foresight to deal with the multitude of side effects of a particular cancer that he professes to be an expert in. When my family & I question him, he stares at us with a blank look. We have researched, extensively, my mother's rare cancer and my family and I seem to know more about this cancer than Dr. Danish. Most of his staff has been completely incompetent in faxing reports to various other doctors and pharmacies. My mother was not able to receive her cancer& pain meds in a timely manner as Dr. Danish's staff had not faxed the proper paperwork to the appropriate pharamacies after 3 phone calls to Dr. Danish's office. The entire experience has been worse than my mother's cancer. Dr. Danish is like a "deer in headlights" when he is stumped and will not admit that he has no idea how to proceed with the side affects of this particular cancer; yet, his ego is so overblown, he will not refer our mother to another oncologist who is better suited to deal with her side affects. My family and I recently attended a support group for Multiple Myeloma. The survivors of this horrible cancer were very dissatisfied with Dr. Danish & his staff and highly recommended Dr. Jay at the University of Michigan. My mother has an appointment with Dr. Jay in a few weeks and hopefully, this team of doctors working TOGETHER, will help our mother through this difficult time. We know there is no cure for this cancer, but, we feel a greater effort will be made at the University of Michigan to help ease the physical pain our mother has to endure. And, to add insult to injury, after a 3 week stay at the hospital to manage our mother's pain, she was told there was nothing else Dr. Danish could do and, for lack of a better word, was kicked out of the hospital. Dr. Danish stated he would treat our mother again when she was stronger. Who determines THAT? My family and I? I do not recommend Dr. Danish if you researching an oncologist who will be straightforward with a comprehensive evaluation of you or your loved one.

One sure way to save money during the holidays is to not go overboard on buying expensive holiday decor every season. Chances are you already have something in the garage or closet that can be repurposed into something beautiful. This year I decided to hold off buying yet another Christmas wreath and use what I have on hand to create one!
Time: 1 Hours Cost: $5 Difficulty: Easy
For about a year I have had this old ceiling medallion just sitting around in the garage. I purchased it at my local Restore for a few bucks and planned on repainting it because the finish wasn't my style.
As I was brainstorming and going thru my supplies I realized that the filigree design on the ceiling medallion looks like leaves and would make an awesome wreath.
I really love how rich this green color is. It took me a while to get the paint in all those grooves within the filigree design but the process went pretty fast once I got going with my sponge brush.

Sahiba Phillauri
Singers: Romy, Pawni Pandey
Music: Shashwat Sachdev
Lyrics: Anvita Dutt
My Rating : 9.2/10
Sahiba from Anushka Sharma's Phillauri is another romantic ballad which sublimely narrates another story set in the dusty mood of Punjab. One deos feel like Sukhwinder SIngh made a comeback, but it is not the case. For those who are alien to the saga of Mirza-Sahiba, they are analogous to Romeo and Juliet in Classic Shakespearean choice of words.
Yes, Sahiba Phillauri song is definitely one of my favorites for 2017!
Sahiba Phillauri Song Lyrics and English Translation
Tujhse aisa uljha dil
Dhaga dhaga khincha
My heart has got tangled with yours,
that every thread in it was pulled back
Tujhse aisa uljha dil
Dhaga dhaga khincha
Dargah pe jaise ho
Chaadron sa bichha
My heart has got tangled with yours,
that every thread in it was pulled back
Like in a saint's tomb, shawl has been draped
Yoon hi roz yeh udhda buna
Kissa ishq ka kayi bar
Humne phir se likha
Everyday it wove as it flew
Writing a ballad of love, have I again
Sahiba, sahiba
Chal wahan jahan mirza x (2)
Sahiba (Juliet), Go where Mirza (Romeo) goes
O sahiba, o sahiba
Hijra ki chot hai laagi re o sahiba
Jigar hua hai baagi re
Zid behad huyi rat'ti hai zuban
O tere bin
Oh Sahiba, the wound of separation enthralls
As the lover elopes only for ego to conquer my words
Ho tere bin saans bhi kaanch si
Kaanch si kaate kaate re
Ho tere bin jindri rakh si
Rakh si laage re x (2)
Without you, breath is like glass
Pieces of glass that can cut away
Without you, Life is just ash- the remnant of a burning pyre

Hello Shorty
No More Shorty
There are millions of people who live their lives believing that they are stuck being short because of their genetic makeup. The fact of the matter is, though, that this is not true at all!!
The first thing you need to understand is how the body actually grows. The bones, of course, are an essential part of the overall bodily growth equation. In fact, it's a well-known medical fact that infants have more bones than adults do. Why is this? Because a good deal of an infant's skeleton is actually soft cartilage. As babies grow, the cartilage actually begins to fuse together, forming the hard, adult bones that we all have in our bodies.
Height Increased During Puberty
The normal aging process continues to affect our height when you consider what happens during puberty. Growth plates that are located within the bones of the body lengthen during this time, and get people to what they consider to be their "full grown height." This process can end anytime between the late teens and early twenties, and usually signals the end of a normal, human growth period, where height is concerned.
Height Increase Surgery
Some people, who are unhappy with their final, natural height, turn to surgical procedures to get a bit taller. Traditional surgery often
involves bones getting broken, and then metal plates are installed in the gaps between those broken bones. The bones do begin to heal after time, and the patients are ultimately taller than they were prior to surgery. However, this type of surgery is painful and can even make the bones much weaker over the long haul, which is something that people need to be very aware of, as weakened bones can actually lead to a reduced height as patients get older.
Diet And Exercise To Increase Height
There are some new methods that can actually help people to get taller. The first thing to do is to make sure that you are eating a healthy, well balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise on a regular basis. Exercise and nutrition work hand in hand to strengthen bones and to allow the entire muscular/skeletal system to grow – especially when you are young. Not taking proper care of yourself is a sure way to stunt your growth and to fail to reach your ultimate height potential.

Elections bring out the best and the worst of us
It is amazing to watch how some people view and participate in the electoral process. The views and slogans that are expressed run from doom and gloom to a chicken in every pot. The political process is a window on the collective soul of our nation and it shows us for what we really are.
As I look into this political window, I see some things that give me pause. For instance, there are many Christians who are genuinely anxious about the outcome of this election. While it is important to be concerned and involved, to be anxious about elections is misguided. Christians have a higher and better citizenship that should hold their allegiance.
I have watched with great interest the actions of many involved in the Tea Party movement. These people are not extremists but people who care deeply about their country. Unfortunately many of these people believe the power over their lives rests in Washington D.C. While it is true that the government is powerful and it is out of control, it is a drop in the bucket and a pawn in the grand narrative of God's sovereign plan.
As you go to vote and then hurry home to watch the returns, let me encourage you with the following truth from God's word:
The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.
(Proverbs 21:1 ESV)
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV)

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now reaction to the analysis of the Republican health care bill by the budget office of Congress.
As we report a few moments ago, it is forecasting that 24 million fewer people would be insured after a decade and it would reduce the deficit by more $300 billion over 10 years.
Our John Yang gets some analysis now.
JOHN YANG: And, for that, we turn to two experts who watch this all closely, Zeke Emanuel, who is one of the original architects of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. He's chair of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. And Lanhee Chen, a fellow at the Hoover Institution, who advised both Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio in their presidential campaigns.
Gentlemen, welcome to you both.
Dr. Emanuel, let me start with you.
The big headline number out of this, 24 million fewer with health insurance after a period after this. That is more than who were added to the rolls by Obamacare. What's your reaction?
DR. EZEKIEL EMANUEL, Former White House Special Adviser: Well, by 2026, one in five Americans are going to lack health insurance if this plan goes through, according to the CBO.
And lest Americans think, oh, this is only people on Medicaid or people who got Obamacare, the CBO estimates seven million people who have employer insurance today will lose coverage. So, if you're getting coverage through your employer, it's not guaranteed under this plan.
And the big, positive news for the Republicans sounds puny in comparison. All those people losing coverage, and the deficit goes down $34 billion per year. This sounds like no home run at all for them, and a real albatross.
One out of five Americans, no health insurance, maybe that's acceptable in some places like Texas, but I don't think across the country, it's something we're going to find very tolerable.
They also point out that the extensive coverage under this plan, what your insurance actually covers, is going to go down, so people are going to be responsible for more out of their own pocket. They are going to have skinnier health insurance, more deductibles. And, again, that is something that has proven unpopular.
Why the Republicans want to encourage that is beyond my comprehension. I think this points out it's a loser bill. We need to go back to the drawing board and try to get a bipartisan bill. I think there is a compromise, but only when the Republicans give up on this kind of approach.
JOHN YANG: Lanhee Chen, an albatross, a loser bill, what do you say?
LANHEE CHEN, Former Policy Director, Mitt Romney Campaign: Well, that's certainly one perspective.
I would argue that, in fact, this bill is a very good start. I think, clearly, it's not perfect. There are improvements that need to be made in the bill.
But let's just start with a couple of things. First of all, obviously, the Congressional Budget Office estimates do reveal that in fact the bill is going to cut the deficit, it's going to cut spending over the next 10 years and provide almost $1 trillion in tax relief over the years — over the next 10 years.
So I think those are points you are going to hear supporters of the law point to. Clearly, on the coverage numbers, the 24 million number is a big number. I think they have got some work to do there.
The challenge is that, without an individual mandate, without a massive and costly expansion to Medicaid, you're not going to see the same kind of coverage numbers that you saw out of the Affordable Care Act. I think Republicans need to be willing to accept that at least as presently constituted, their plan is not going to get to the same levels.
Now, the question becomes, are people going to have more choices? Are premiums going down? And indeed the CBO report finds that beginning in 2020, premiums are going to go down and consumers are going to have more choices.
The reason why consumers might want to buy skinny down plans is because they don't want to pay for all of the excessive benefits that are mandated and required by the Affordable Care Act. So, in fact, it's a quite reasonable response to what we have seen from the over-regulation created by the ACA over the last 10 years.
Now, in the employer marketplace, let me just make one point. The CBO when they estimated the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, upon passage also noted that many millions of Americans would lose their coverage in the employer marketplace. It's not unusual to see shifting between marketplaces as it's created by a large-scale reform such as the ACA or the current bill that Republicans are considering.
JOHN YANG: Lanhee Chen …
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Let's just be clear; $600 billion or so of this change is going to be tax cuts to the wealthiest 2 or 3 percent of Americans, the insurance companies, the drug companies.
We're going to see Americans get less insurance. Lanhee Chen said that.
All right, which part of the essential benefits that the government is so-called mandating don't you want? Hospital care? Emergency room care? Drug care? Doctor care? Preventative services?
LANHEE CHEN: Zeke, I would like for Americans to be able to choose the benefits they want. I don't believe that it makes sense for Washington to mandate the same plans broadly across the board.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Lanhee, what you're doing is not giving them choice.
What you're doing is saying, we're taking away the money and we're going to let you choose with no money. Health care is extremely expensive. It's $10,000 on average per American. Americans don't have that kind of money.
LANHEE CHEN: It is, and the Affordable Care Act has made it less affordable.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: And they need subsidies.
And we — no, the Affordable Care Act didn't make it less affordable. It made it more affordable.
LANHEE CHEN: Twenty-five percent increase in premiums silver plan year over year from 2016 to 2017 sounds less affordable to me, Zeke.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: In fact, the silver plan is low than the CBO predicted in 2010. It's actually been — we have been able to control health care costs and that has gone on.
You tell me the one service on the essential benefits you're going to get rid of that is going to be better for people. No Republican can say …
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: That's the one they want to throw out.
LANHEE CHEN: I'm not in the business of telling people what benefits they should and shouldn't have.
Look, the bottom line here is this.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Lanhee, just tell me what benefit you don't want.
LANHEE CHEN: What this plan will do is, it will allow people to choose the plans — there are things that I would choose. They are not going to be the same as the things someone else would choose, Zeke. That's the point here, that this is not a decision Washington should be making.
And that's the point that supporters of the law have been making. But, look, at the end of the day the AHCA actually, as you know, leaves the essential health care benefits in place for now, because they can't be removed through reconciliation.
You know that better than anybody else.
JOHN YANG: You talked about premiums would be going down.
But the CBO found that there is going to be a difference by age. By 2026, premiums for a 21-year-old would be 20 to 25 percent lower, for a 40-year-old, 10 percent lower. But, for a 64-year-old, one year before Medicare, 20 percent to 25 percent higher.
LANHEE CHEN: Well, yes, the notion of insurance again is about …
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: People who are sick and who need it are going to be …
JOHN YANG: Hold on. Hold on. Let him answer. Let's let Lanhee Chen answer that.
LANHEE CHEN: Yes.
The point is that any time you create an insurance marketplace, you are going to have people coming in and out of it. You're going to have people of different ages.
And it is the case that there is going to be variation across age categories. Look, the Affordable Care Act increased premiums significantly for younger people. It did bring the premiums down for older people because of the way the law was structured.
So, there are always going to be winners and losers in these situations. We have got to take look at exactly what happens. But, remember, what the AHCA, What The Republican proposal does is to create an additional subsidy to help people who are older.
Now, arguably, you could tweak That subsidy to give them even more support. That may be a change want to look at. But the notion that there will be differences in costs of premiums across age is not surprising any time you have a large health reform.
JOHN YANG: Thirty seconds, Dr. Emanuel. You want to respond?
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Wait a second.
And you take the subsidies way down, so you give people less money to buy insurance. This is a double whammy, which is, we're going to allow the premiums to go up, and, by the way, the amount of coverage is going to go down, because the essential benefits are going down.
So — and we should also mention that by 2022 …
LANHEE CHEN: The essential benefits aren't touched by the law, Zeke. You know that.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: They're actually going to send the premiums up for all people 15 to 20 percent.
So, yes, by 2026, a decade from now, premiums for the younger will come down, but, before that, they are going to actually go up. So this is hardly a very good thing if you're going to say we're going to make it cover everyone and we're going to make it cheaper. It's not going to be cheaper.
JOHN YANG: Time, gentlemen. Time. I'm sorry. We are going to have to leave it there.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Yes. Thank you.
JOHN YANG: Dr. Emanuel, Lanhee Chen, thanks for joining us.
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: Thank you.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And that's a debate thanks to hear. Thanks to both of them.
And we want to hear what people think on all sides of the health care debate. If you're concerned about health care reform, you can go online, find a brief questionnaire and share your experience.

Hello everyone,
Since the last update I'm now getting the message saying "Final Fantasy XIV beta has stopped working"
This happens just before the character selection screen. The game was running fine before the last update :(
Is there anyway to fix this?

Heritage of Zandalar (formerly Heritage of Zuljin, sometimes spelled Heritage of Zul'jin) is a troll-only roleplaying guild.
This guild is for people who enjoy roleplaying a troll. Since it is a heavy roleplaying guild, it expects the members to strictly follow the roleplaying policies and encourages them to become active roleplayers. The guildchat is in-character, while the out-of-character officerchat is avialable to everyone. The guild, although its main intetion is still makes attempts towards world PvP and PvE too, willing to co-operate with other guilds.
The Heritage of Zandalar believes in the fraternity of all trolls on Azeroth. Its aim is to create a troll nation which unites all troll tribes. It also tries to revive the forgotten tribal traditions of trolls. Because of the tribal structure it is often referred to as a tribe, although most members are unrelated to each other.
The guild used to be named after Zul'jin because he also wanted to create a troll nation, and he managed to unite various troll tribes and stop the war among them. Despite this, the guild does not agree with Zul'jin's methods and believes the trolls have to be loyal to the Horde. As a result of this, the guild was officially renamed Heritage of Zandalar, honoring the ancient tribe of the Zandalari trolls.
The guild crest depicts two golden snakes coiled around each other, which symbolize the union of the two major troll empires, the Amani and the Gurubashi.
In characterEdit
The guild homepage describes the guild's history in the following way:
- Lon'-lon' time ago, da Loa Gods created da World. An' dey gave it to deir children, da trolls. Dey gave dem Mojo, to rule deir lands wid it.
- Da World been savage an' unfriendly to da trolls. De Aquir, large buglike beasts roamed da land. But da trolls defeated dem, by Mojo, an' because dey were one people. Dey founded da Amani Empire in de North, an' da Gurubashi Empire in de South, an' ruled da World for centuries.
- But den, da trolls started to argue among each other. Many of 'em betrayed da Loa, an' begin worshipping evil gods. Da Gurubashi Leaders been corrupted by de most evil god, Hakkar. An' when a new danger threatened da Amani Empire, da Gurubashi did not come to help 'em.
- It was da Elves. Dey got magic beyond da power of Mojo. Dey destroyed da Amani Empire, an' chased da trolls into da deepest forests of 'e Hinterlands.
- For four thousand years, de trolls been hidin' in da forests. Then Zul'jin came. He could convince all troll chieftains to unite all de troll tribes, an' fight de Elves of Quel'thalas. Unfortunately da Elves found strong allies: da Humans. Dey captured Zul'jin, an' threatened da trolls with killin' him unless dey give up da fight. De Orcish Horde came an' rescued Zul'jin, who made a pact wid 'em to fight de Alliance.
- Da war waged on for years, until da Horde finally been defeated. Troll chieftains started blamin' Zul'jin for makin' pact with da Horde, an' exiled da few who been faithful to him.
- Among da exiles been Ol' Drei'jin, Warlord of da Witherbark. He fled wid his wife Magosh an' his daughter Zaraya through whole Azeroth. Magosh died during da journey, but Drei'jin an Zaraya could make it to da Echo Isles, where dey met da Darkspear Tribe, led by Witch Doctor Sen'jin. Da Darkspears accepted da exiles as deir new membas. Zaraya married a Darkspear warrior, an' gave birth to a child named Snicka.
- Years passed. Ol' Drei'jin told Snicka lots o' stories 'bout Zul'jin and da heroic history of trolls, which da young troll really enjoyed. But den, something tragic happened.
- From da sea, ugly fish-like creatures called murlocs emerged. Dey been servin' some Sea Witch, an' at her command dey attacked da Darkspear Tribe. Fortunately, da Orcish Horde came to da trolls' help again, an' defeated de murlocs, but great loss had already happened.
- Among da murlocs' victims were Sen'jin himself, an' Ol' Drei'jin, too. His last words to Snicka, before he went to battle, were these: "I might die in dis battle, but da heritage, what Zul'jin left to us, will neva' die. Finish wot he started, Snicka. Find de trolls still faithful to him, an' form a guild of 'em. Let our people be one again. Long live da Heritage of Zul'jin!"
- Snicka listened carefully to Ol' Drei'jin, an' while da Darkspear Tribe joined da Horde an' found a new home in Durotar, he started lookin' for trolls all 'round da world to join him. His guild, Heritage of Zuljin, be faithful both to deir saviors, da Horde, an' da memory of Zul'jin.
Out of CharacterEdit
The guild was founded on the 13th of April, 2006. It was inspired by another troll-only roleplaying guild, the New Amani Empire, which was disbanded before the founding of the Heritage. The guild originally didn't have strict roleplaying rules, but as time passed, it began to focus on roleplaying more and more. In 2007, the guild got in contact with other roleplaying guilds such as Greywolf Tribe and House of Sylvanas, and later joined the Blood Pact. The guild homepage was created on the 6th of October, 2007.
The guild was renamed to Heritage of Zandalar on the 8th of March, 2008. The renaming was celebrated by a party that was a massive roleplaying event on the 15th of March.

- Snicka (founder of the guild, Warlord)

Ideas Becoming Conversations on the Web
Jay Parkhill July 28th, 2009
I had a happy milestone this week, when Carolyn Elefant picked up on my recent post about free and low-cost legal services. She looked at the concepts from the angle of solo and small firm practice. Her post was then subjected to close scrutiny at AdamsDrafting before finally ending up on the ABA Journal's web site.
This is clearly a topic of great interest to lawyers and I am thrilled to see it discussed. It was also a first for me to see a meme posted in this blog picked up and analyzed by others from multiple viewpoints. Thanks to Carolyn, Ken at AdamsDrafting and Sarah at the ABA Journal for adding your thoughts. The discussion becomes a fluid, roving one and I learned a lot from your posts.

It was all Scarlet Begonias, a touch of the blues, and a whole lot of funk and soul last night at the Boulder Theater.

I arrived before the doors opened. Just from the line forming outside the theater, I could tell that Band of Skulls had an enthusiastic following. The excitement was palpable. After the recent release of their new album, Sweet Sour, the band geared up for an international tour. The group, hailing from England, obviously had quite the draw in America.

Netflix working on optimizing multi-platform video delivery
Thanks to the multi-platform, multi-device global media landscape, content owners today need to make and keep hundreds of different versions of the same movie or TV episode to be delivered to different devices and in different formats. To combat this, Netflix is taking a pure Silicon Valley approach to it experimenting with an Interoperable Master Format (IMF), to help streamline the production of these formats. It will help movement between studios and content distributors like Netflix.
"As Netflix expanded into a global entertainment platform, our supply chain needed an efficient way to vault our masters in the cloud that didn't require a different version for every territory in which we have our service," said Netflix's Chris Fetner and Brian Kenworthy, in a recent blog post.
IMF is a raw video file with metadata about audio files, geo-blocking instructions, and other useful bits of data. It makes the need for multiple complete versions of a specific title unnecessary. "For a title like 'Narcos,' where the video is largely the same in all territories, we can hold the Primary and the specific frames that are different for, say, the Japanese title sequence version," the blog said. "This reduces duplication of assets that are 95% the same and allows us to hold that 95% once and piece it to the 5% differences needed for a specific use case."
The IMF standard was recently developed by SMTPE, and only a handful of studios are currently using it.
Netflix also said it will release a set of tools to tackle issues such as transcoding IMF files to Digital Production Partnership (DPP) format, a set of editing tools, and the ability to convert IMF files to files that can be sold on Apple's iTunes platform. That last one's an interesting move, considering Apple itself doesn't support IMF – yet. Netflix is hoping that by giving the studios help in developing tools that utilize IMF, the format will catch on throughout the ecosystem. That will eventually help Netflix too.
"We saw IMF as a shared opportunity in the digital supply chain space," the blog said. "In order to support IMF interoperability and share the benefits of the format with the rest of the content community, we have invested in several open source IMF tools."
It's another example of how Netflix is able to best traditional content services by approaching issues with tech start-up-colored glasses. Netflix's foundation was metaphorically poured in Silicon Valley, not in Hollywood nor the world of telecommunications.
And it's just one example of Netflix's open source work. To date, the company has released over 150 open source software projects. Earlier this year, it released what it calls video multi-method assessment fusion (VMAF), which helps determine which codecs works best in real viewing experiences under varying conditions. And this month, Netflix released a new test footage production, called "Meridian," that is particularly heavy on new types of video technology that are difficult to preserve in compression and codecs. The film was shot in 4K and HDR at 60 frames per second, with a peak brightness level of 4,000 nits, and with audio that uses Dolby Atmos. Netflix is offering the film under a Creative Commons license in the hope that others will use the short film to perform real world tests on how 4K and HDR video content streams to devices.
The production has been well received by technology providers. "Netflix's 'Meridian' is helpful in that it provides us with another reference source in our library of video clips, that has been professionally shot using the latest equipment and workflows," Brightcove's VP and principal media evangelist Matt Smith said in a recent blog post about the title. "There are some very expensive and robust tools on the market with which we use to test and configure compression schemes. That Netflix has provided another professional sequence to help with this process is great."

Fleming Posts Second-quarter Profit
DALLAS - Fleming Co. today reported a second-quarter profit, reversing a loss a year earlier, due in part to cost-cutting and sales from new contracts.
DALLAS - Fleming Co. today reported a second-quarter profit, reversing a loss a year earlier, due in part to cost-cutting and sales from new contracts.
Net income in the second quarter was $2.2 million, or 5 cents per share, compared with a loss of $13.5 million, or 31 cents per share, a year earlier.
The No. 1 grocery supplies distributor forecast profits for the third and fourth quarters, and said it is "carefully and thoughtfully evaluating" strategic alternatives related to its low-priced food stores. It said it expects to conclude the evaluation process some time in the quarter just begun.
The company's retail segment, which consists of about 127 stores under names such as Food4Less and Yes!Less stores, has lagged the performance of the rest of the company's business.
Excluding a charge connected to the early repayment of debt, Fleming, which saw big customer Kmart Corp. file for bankruptcy projection in January, earned $10.1 million, or 21 cents per share.
Quarterly sales rose 14.1 percent to $3.93 billion from $3.45 billion. Sales from its retail segment increased 0.8 percent compared with the prior year, but the segment's comparable store sales -- generated from outlets open at least a year -- fell 4.7 percent. Fleming attributed the sales drop at its retail segment to heightened competition, deflationary prices in the meat category and disruptions from store overhauls.
Fleming added that its outlook depends on its retail stores' earnings returning to more normalized levels relative to last year, and Kmart's ability to continue as a going concern.
The company, which recently closed down two distribution plants, said it also expects 2002 capital expenditures of about $185 million, down from an original estimate of $200 million, with $85 million of the spending coming in the second half.
