Using minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), most surgeons require a 50% decline in intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IoPTH) to determine cure, but the significance of IoPTH kinetics occurring after this drop remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of IoPTH levels that first meet criteria for cure, but then increase again, or rebound, between 10 and 15 minutes post-excision.
We conducted a retrospective review of patients undergoing initial parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism at our institution from 2001 – 2011. Rebound IoPTH was defined as an increase in PTH ≥ 5 pg/mL after achieving the 50% drop required for cure. Comparisons were evaluated with the student's t-test, Chi-squared test, or Fisher's exact test where appropriate.
Of the 1,386 patients who met selection criteria, 86 (6.2%) patients exhibited rebound IoPTH. The mean magnitude of rebound was 13.8 ± 3.6 pg/mL. Compared to those not displaying rebound, more patients with rebound IoPTH were treated with open parathyroidectomy rather than MIP (10.8% vs. 4.5%, p<0.01). The recurrence rate among those with rebound IoPTH was more than double that of patients without rebound IoPTH (5.8% vs. 2.2%, p = 0.03). Magnitude of rebound, however, did not correlate with recurrence. The rate of persistent disease was not different between those with and without rebound IoPTH. Rebound was a much better indicator of recurrence than patients whose final IoPTH levels were not within the normal range.
Rebound IoPTH is more common in patients who develop recurrent hyperparathyroidism. Therefore, surgeons should closely monitor patients with rebound IoPTH for disease recurrence.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder with over 100,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States (1). The disease manifests with hypercalcemia and a range of associated symptoms such as bone and joint pain, kidney stones, fatigue, abdominal pain, and depression. Surgery remains the only curative treatment with long-term success rates exceeding 95% (2, 3). Traditionally, parathyroidectomy was accomplished with a bilateral neck exploration where all four glands were identified and grossly abnormal glands resected. The development of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IoPTH) monitoring enabled surgeons to offer patients a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) (4). Since the etiology of PHPT is a single adenoma in roughly 80% of patients with PHPT, MIP involves resecting a preoperatively localized adenoma through a small incision, and then using IoPTH to confirm a cure while the patient is still in the operating room. Recurrence rates with MIP have been shown to be equivalent to the traditional, open approach (5, 6).
Although numerous IoPTH protocols exist in the literature, most parathyroid surgeons require a 50% decline in PTH from the pre-excision level in order to terminate the operation (5, 7). One criticism of MIP is that IoPTH may miss multigland disease (MGD) leading to persistence or recurrence (8, 9). This has led many to re-evaluate a 50% decline in IoPTH as criterion for a cure (10, 11). Alternatively, Heller et al. investigated the final (20 minute) IoPTH level, and found that a final level of 40 pg/mL or greater put patients at higher risk of persistent disease (12). Others have suggested that the final, curative IoPTH level needs to be within the normal range, although this has been disputed (13–16).
In this context, the kinetics of IoPTH after the criteria for cure are met remains understudied. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of IoPTH levels that first meet criteria for cure, but then increase again, or rebound, between 10 and 15 minutes post-excision.
We conducted a retrospective review of a prospectively collected parathyroid database. Initial neck operations for PHPT between 2001 and 2011 were selected for further analysis. Familial disease, secondary, tertiary, or re-operative cases were excluded. We also excluded patients who underwent concomitant thyroid operation or who underwent a thoracic procedure to remove a parathyroid adenoma. At the University of Wisconsin, almost all patients with biochemical evidence of PHPT were evaluated with sestamibi scan and some patients also undergo neck ultrasound. Radioguidance and IoPTH were employed for localization and to guide the extent of exploration as previously described (17). At our institution, we require a 50% drop in PTH from the peak PTH level measured at 5, 10, or 15 minutes post-excision. All three levels are sent after excision of the diseased gland(s). Results are reported back to the operating room 25–30 minutes from the time the first level is sent, and all levels are reported even if a 50% decline from the peak level does occur. The laboratory error for the PTH assay used at our institution is 2 pg/mL. Rebound IoPTH was defined as an increase in PTH ≥ 5 pg/mL after achieving the 50% drop required for cure. That is, rebound IoPTH occurred after meeting criteria for cure and the procedure was terminated. A threshold of 5 pg/mL was chosen since it is more than twice the assay's inherent error. In cases where either the IoPTH levels failed to decline by 50% or the five minute value increased above the baseline, additional IoPTH levels were sent (18). However, only the last, or curative, set of IoPTH values were analyzed for rebound.
Preoperative patient characteristics and perioperative lab values were recorded. Operative findings were classified as either a single adenoma when one enlarged gland was identified or multigland disease when more than one gland was identified (double adenomas or hyperplasia).
The parathyroid database is maintained with each patient's most recent calcium and PTH values. Postoperative PTH and calcium are drawn one to two weeks after surgery and then again at 6 months. Follow-up labs beyond 6 months are also captured. Outcomes were categorized as persistence or recurrence. Persistence was an elevated calcium and PTH within six months of surgery. Recurrence was defined as an elevated calcium and PTH beyond six months postoperatively, with calcium greater than our laboratory's upper limit of normal (>10.2 mg/dL) representing recurrence. PTH levels above normal or inappropriately normal for the calcium level were also considered in determining persistence or recurrence.
Comparisons were made with the student's t-test, Chi-squared test, or the Fisher's exact test where appropriate. Statistical analysis was performed with STATA v. 12.1 software (StataCorp, College Station, TX). P<0.05 was considered significant.
Of the 1,386 patients undergoing an initial neck operation for PHPT, the mean age was 61 years old, and 1,067 (77.7%) were female. When comparing the rebound group to the non-rebound patients, there were no differences in age or gender. 86 patients (6.2%) exhibited rebound IoPTH, and the mean magnitude of rebound was 13.8 ± 3.6 pg/mL.
Patients with rebound IoPTH had slightly lower preoperative calcium levels compared to patients without rebound IoPTH (10.9 ± 0.1 mg/dL vs. 11.1 ± 0.0 mg/dL, p = 0.04, Table 1), but there was no difference in preoperative PTH or creatinine (Table 1). Of note, patients with rebound were less likely to have positive sestamibi scan localization compared to patients who did not exhibit rebound (63. 0% vs. 78.4%, p < 0.01, Table 1). Multigland disease was also more common in the rebound group compared to the non-rebound group (34.9% vs. 18.5%, p < 0.01, Table 1). Accordingly, only 52.3% of patients in the rebound group were treated with MIP while 73.9% of patients in the non-rebound group were treated with MIP (p<0.01, Table 1).
Requiring IoPTH levels to fall within the normal range is another commonly applied criterion for achieving intraoperative cure (13–15). Although we do not require IoPTH levels to fall within the normal range (16), we further analyzed the subset of patients whose IoPTH level that met our criteria for cure (50% drop from the peak level) was not within the normal range (≤ 72 pg/mL). There were 186 such patients (13.4%). Of these, two patients (0.1%) had persistent disease and one patient (0.07%) recurred. Looking at all patients who had either persistent disease or recurrence (40 patients total), 12 (30%) had rebound IoPTH (Figure 1). Three patients (6%) met criteria for cure (50% decline in IoPTH from the peak level) with an IoPTH level that was not within the normal limits. Two of the three had persistent disease, and only one had recurrence (Figure 1).
Importantly, the recurrence rate among patients who exhibited rebound IoPTH was more than double that of patients who did not display rebound IoPTH (5.8% vs. 2.2%, p = 0.04, Table 1). Median follow-up time was 9.2 months (inter-quartile range 13.96); 71.1% of patients had follow-up time of at least 6 months. There was no difference in the rates of persistent disease between these two groups. Magnitude of rebound did not correlate with recurrence. Furthermore, the postoperative (1–2 weeks after surgery) calcium and PTH levels did not differ between those with and without rebound IoPTH.
This study characterizes patients with primary hyperparathyroidism whose IoPTH first meets criteria for cure, but then rebounds between 10 and 15 minutes post-excision. Patients who exhibit rebound IoPTH have lower calcium levels and are less likely to localize on sestamibi scans. This likely relates to a greater frequency of multigland disease in this cohort compared to patients who do not exhibit rebound IoPTH. Most importantly, patients with rebound had a significantly higher recurrence rate (5.8%) compared to patients without rebound (2.2%).
Although this study examines the kinetics of IoPTH after criteria for a cure are met, other investigators have studied the absolute value of the final IoPTH level or the PTH shortly after surgery. For example, Heller et al. reported that a final (20 minute) IoPTH level of 40 or greater was associated with the greatest risk of persistent disease (12). Similarly, the study reported here found a relationship between the kinetics of final IoPTH levels and outcome. Rather than an absolute value in IoPTH or short-term outcomes, the present study suggests that a rebounding pattern of IoPTH portends a higher risk of recurrent disease, and not persistent disease. That is, rebound IoPTH was associated with recurrence, an outcome measured beyond 6 months postoperatively.
Unlike this study, Heller's IoPTH protocol requires that the PTH fall by 50% of baseline and into the normal range. At the University of Wisconsin, we do not wait for IoPTH levels to fall into the normal range. Reiher et al. found that requiring IoPTH to fall within the normal range (<60 pg/ml) would fail to reduce rates of persistence or recurrence (16). In contrast, Heller's study suggests that a more strict IoPTH protocol, requiring levels to fall into the normal range resulted in a subset of patients (11.34%) at higher risk of persistent disease (12). In this series, a large number of patients (186) had IoPTH levels that met criteria for cure but did not fall within the normal range. Of these, only two patients (0.1%) had persistent disease and one (0.07%) experienced a recurrence. Far more patients with recurrence exhibited rebound compared to curative IoPTH levels that did not fall within normal limits (Figure 1). The present study showed no difference in persistence but a higher risk of recurrent disease without requiring IoPTH levels to fall into the normal range (Table 1). Therefore, rebound is a more reliable indicator for recurrence then IoPTH levels that do not fall within the normal range.
These data suggest that the pattern of IoPTH may indicate subsequent risk of recurrence regardless of the absolute final values. Such information becomes available to the surgeon only after the operation has been terminated. Since the operation has ended, and the patient is awake (or in the process of waking up), further neck exploration is not possible. Furthermore, our data indicate that rebound predicts recurrence and not persistent disease, so further exploration at that time may not affect long-term outcomes in the case of a metachronous presentation of multigland disease. The surgeon should pay close attention to the remaining IoPTH results even after the operation is terminated as it may indicate a subset of patients at risk for recurrence.
The dilemma becomes how to manage these patients in the postoperative period. Since rebound IoPTH identifies a subset of patients at higher risk for recurrence, the surgeon should use this data to tailor follow-up schedules. At our institution, patients with rebound IoPTH are seen at three and six months postoperatively. If both calcium and PTH are normal at 6 months, labs are rechecked at 12 months.
Similar to the final IoPTH levels, several authors have reported on normocalcemic elevations in PTH after successful parathyroidectomy. The incidence of this phenomenon ranges from 12 to 43% of cases (19), and these patients tend to be older, deficient in Vitamin D, and have biochemical markers of more severe hyperparathyroidism (20–24). Similar to this study, our group has previously shown that recurrence is higher in the subset of patients who display elevations in PTH postoperatively (24). Interestingly, the group with rebound IoPTH did not have higher postoperative (1–2 week) PTH compared to the group without rebound. This suggests two different patterns for disease recurrence, and reinforces the need to pay careful attention to these intraoperative and postoperative lab values in determining a patient's risk for recurrence.
This study is limited by its retrospective nature. Although there were nearly 1400 patients in this cohort, relatively few patients exhibit rebound IoPTH. Despite very good follow-up (> 70% of patients followed for at least 6 months), a longer follow-up time may capture more events of recurrent disease, and may bias the results reported here. As we have previously reported, recurrence is often quite delayed, occurring five or more years postoperatively (25), and perhaps more of the patients with rebound will recur with longer follow-up.
Despite these limitations, patients with rebound IoPTH suffered more than double the recurrences compared to patients without rebound IoPTH. Therefore, patients found to exhibit rebound IoPTH at the completion of a parathyroidectomy operation should be monitored more closely for recurrent disease.

Endoscope Cleaning with the GETINGE POKA-YOKE AER
The Getinge POKA-YOKE automated endoscope cleaner is a revolutionary new endoscope cleaning solution which is made for efficient high speed decontamination of flexible endoscopes which fits into those tight spaces.
Named for a Japanese word meaning "error-proof", the POKA-YOKE is just that: an endoscope reprocessor designed from the ground up to prevent the errors which lead to infections from improperly decontaminated endoscopes.
There's no room for human error when it comes to decontamination and this system has been made to eliminate the possibility of operator error – it's a zero tolerance solution to endoscopy department cross contamination.
The all new design of the POKA-YOKE endoscope cleaning device allows the unit to fit in the often small spaces allotted to endoscopy departments – it's a fully HTM2030, EN ISO 15883 and NHS C32 compliant decontamination unit with a small footprint. Fully automated single or dual-sided operation for clean and dirty endoscope segregation and incredibly fast operation – cycle times of 22 minutes make this the ideal AER for any endoscopy department in search of increased efficiency.
The POKA-YOKE is user friendly and error proof with integrated safety features including fail-safe loading and input tube auto-connection; the operator is not exposed to disinfectant. Operation is simple and hands free, with RFID scope and operator ID features for starting the auto-cycle.
Independent cycle monitoring and a one of a kind channel patency system offer three level traceability and a full patient-to-patient system can be implemented through a range of complimentary AER accessories.
There's finally an endoscope cleaning product created with the needs of small clinics and endoscopy departments in mind: The Getinge POKA-YOKE AER, available from Lancer.

|1on1 Tournament
Two exciting days of play are over and we know now which two APAC players qualified for the huge WCA event in China. Some super close matches and results could be witnessed both, in the round robin group stage on Thursday and in the playoff rounds on Sunday. You missed it? No problem.
Read here what happened and watch all important matches again on Back2Warcraft.
Group Stage (April 21st)
The qualifier started with the nine best players from the APAC region, all being from South Korea. Five of them were invited ( Moon, Lyn, LawLiet, FoCuS and ReMinD) and the other four ( ReprisaL, Check, Bany and MinHyuk) had to fight their way through another open qualifier beforehand. What made the group stage particularly special was the round robin modus in the beginning, with each player playing a best-of-three against every other in the grid. Only four of the nine players would proceed to the playoff stage. The group stage resulted in an incredible eleven hour casting marathon of Neo, Remodemo and yAwS.
Seven hours after the start ReprisaL was the only positive surprise amongst the top favorites of this qualifier, leading the grid convincingly. Already at the very beginning he showed off his new gained strength by countering LawLiet's Warden as noone else has ever done. At that time, unexpectedly ReprisaL was not followed by players like FoCuS, Moon, LawLiet or the legendary Lyn, who just returned to the scene, but the underdogs Bany and MinHyuk. Both players scored win after win and it looked good for them. Almost another Cinderella story, but only almost. On the finishing straight it came to a sudden end when LawLiet, FoCuS and Lyn recovered and each of them won their last two matches. Especially Bany was hit hard, dropping out due to a slightly worse map score, although he had the same number of wins as three of the players to move on.
Playoffs (April 25th)
ReprisaL, Lyn, FoCuS and LawLiet found a way out of the group stage, only a small step away from winning a bunch of money (1. USD 7,700 / 2. USD 4,600 / 3. USD 3,100) and qualifying for the WCA main event in China. Everything back to zero, each of the four players had the exact same starting position, no matter how their performance was in the group stage. Only the opponent for the first match was determined by the players position in the grid. ReprisaL, who left no doubt in the prior stage that he'd found the magical essence against the Warden, had to face LawLiet once again. It turned out essence isn't that magical after all. The latter reminded us why he is the best night elf player there currently is on this globe. Making the Warden happen two times in a row, playing it safe and convincingly. Raining knifes turned out to be ReprisaL's Waterloo.
As on the Thursday before, Lyn was defeated by FoCuS and therefore sent to the losers round. Micro on point, but not fully in his routine yet, which becomes especially visible in these kind of Orc mirror matches. What followed was an epic clash between ReprisaL and Lyn in the basement. The first two matches were the two absolute highlights in this APAC Qualifier with endless fights, micro on point and countless turnarounds. The third and deciding map was Ancient Isles, not known to be a particularly good map for the human race. Lyn proved it, putting an unworthy end to ReprisaL's WCA dreams.
Meanwhile, LawLiet making a short process with his buddy FoCuS also, even playing talons on Twisted Meadows. The convincing performance of the elf player reminded a bit of the second last day at WCA 2015, where he seemed simply unstoppable. Therewith he had secured his spot in the 2016 event as well, whereas FoCuS had to face Lyn a third time in this qualifier. "All good things come in threes" one could say, but rather for Lyn this time, who played unimpressed and still in the flow of his victory over ReprisaL. The Orc player who just returned to the game after years of abscence still able to deliver and securing the second spot at WCA 2016.
The final of this qualifier will be held in May, hopefully with amazing matches between the two players who will then proudly represent their region in China.
All important information can be found on Liquipedia.
Lyn amazed all of us, great. Perfect casting by remodemo! We love u!
https://www.twitch.tv/moongladeau mOOnGLaDe is often streaming wc3 lately for me one of the best streams but not listed on w3a
Easy win for lyn I believe . He's just too strong vs elf.
I dont missed it, the only thing I miss is something new about W3A, still bugs like drop out of Game, no 1.27, AT vs RT, no other Tournaments etc etc..
Couldn't watch the games live. Are there any replay packs available ?
Nope, in the news is a link to he back2warcraft youtube channel, in which you can watch all casted matches.
@HighTac ok thanx !
Huuuge reprisal fanboy <3 Such a shame he lost vs. Lyn.
Lyn just recently got back and what an amazing performance already, showing he is a true god! I think Lawliet has no chance in grand finals but I also thought Lyn wouldnt stand a chance vs Reprisal and what an amazing series that was, so anything is possible.

Gentle reminder
Posted July 7, 2017on:
A gentel reminder to you that sometimes in life, your friend can be more successful than you, richer than you, having a very good life compared to yours. There is one moment you may think that you have nothing in particular.. you achieve nothing in a year and you receive nothing for everything that you do, or you are silently loving someone from a far and knowing that person may not like you at all. But please remember that everytime you think yoursef as a very small person compared to your friend, remember that you didn't try your best enough to make yoursef look better, do better and try harder. You don't put all your heart out to improve yourself. You need to stop day dreaming and put reality and be rational. Be kind to your mom and nephew/nieces. Read Quran everyday hoping that Allah will soften your hearts to all things that lead to anger. Be generous to your parents and society. Do a lot of charity and start thinking and seeing good in people happiness. Till you do that than you will achieve greatness. Remember that there is someone out there who's completely crazy and wanting to be with you every minute and everyday. Remember that everyday he is praying for you,hoping that you get everything that you want. You know very well that he will be there for you everytime you need him to. Lead your mind to positivity and let God help you. Not anyone else.
Please Grow up.
Posted May 28, 2017on:
Some people, please grow up. Stop acting like a kid. You're not even cute to begin with 😏
Counting days.

H is sending me pictures from Edinburgh and of course, I'm totally over the moon. He said he does not really have a good spring, since 80% of his life is in the laboratory. He told me that sometimes, he doesn't even feel the sun but he can't regret about it. Its the life that he chose to be, and then thanking God that half part of it already involving me.
Posted April 13, 2017on:
I really want to understand and put myself into those friends obsession towards their first born. Yeah, having no kids is stressful for those who are waiting and wishing (To have one), however , I wish they would just be little bit sensitive towards these people who have yet to become a parent.
Being a first time parents make up a little bit more selfish. And we need to admit it. Although a simple things (that we think) is just a usual basis, could lead us to this arrogant and putting self interest a little bit much than we thought.
We, as a human being ALWAYS think, life revolved only for us and ourself. Honestly, Social media is not an helping tool. Its more towards self-destructed. I started to realise how negative social media makes me few years ago which lead to my decision to delete my Twitter. I do deactivated my Facebook for almost a year in 2015 because I cannot handle it at all. I'm clearing my mind and soul and try to see things beyond social media. Even now, I really tried my best to control each of my post so that it doesn't sound too arrogant, or misleading information.. I promised my self not to share much on my personal life. Hopefully God protect me on this.
People sharing stuff without even think twice. It really gives a negative vibes to my everyday's life.
However, I have no problem with friends who uploaded their kids journey once in while. Many of my bff does that in a while and I think it's super cute. They know their limits. (Kudos to my BFF). But those friends who uploaded every time and second, seriously need to evaluate themselves. People get annoying and you need to accept it. Ironically, when I try to speak up, these friends often being so dramatic & defensive. I just realise then, the easy way for me to handle is to just click 'unfollow' button or remove them from my life.. I have absolutely no problem if they do the same to me.
Do not keep things which not gives benefits to you.
As we grow old, a healthy mind is VERY important. In my defence, I apologies to all my friends if this post hurt their feeling. Please note that I have tried my best to put myself into your shoes, I hope you do the same thing too.
Posted March 23, 2017on:
I have plenty of things to complaint about people. especially those from my workplace. But then every time i wanted to think bad about them, i started to realise that I am obviously not perfect at all to even start complaining. Yes, workplace giving huge negative vibes to me lately. I don't find fun at the environment but I do know that they are also didn't find me fun at all. But it's ok.. Cause your uniqueness and values, its precious hence let those who knows, embrace it. Who doesn't does not matter.
I was just wanted to do my work, in silence and let the succeeds speak on its own.
Less people, less problem. 🙂
Posted March 21, 2017on:
Ironically in this world, people who respond to some statement in a negative way, is always those whom with low knowledge or IQ. Despite being irritated with them, I decided to just laughing out loud in my heart on how stupid they are, with no face expression..

Employment Law
Decisions in the workplace are made every minute of every day; some by individuals, others as a group. Anytime a workplace decision is made between two individuals, discrimination has occurred. However, not all such decisions are illegal. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991 has made certain decisions based on race, religion, gender, color, national origin, and age illegal. The workplace is protected by law, and the law is intended to assure that the employment environment is made as fair and productive as possible. …

If you're looking for a home phone service in your area, Allconnect is your one-stop-shop for comparing all the home phone options available at your address. By entering your address above, we'll show you all the providers, plans and prices so you can compare and choose the best home phone provider for your needs. And if you'd rather talk to a human, just give us a call!
We've partnered with numerous home phone service providers you know and trust all across the country to bring you the best deals on your landline phone service. And nearly every plan our partners offer comes packed with features such as:
You even have the opportunity to select additional calling features to supplement your phone plan further. On top of that, you can save even more money when you bundle your home phone, TV, and Internettogether in one package
So enter your address in the search box above to see which phone companies provide local and long distance phone service in your area. Compare plans, then select your new home phone service provider, and add all the calling features you want.
No matter which phone plan you choose, our online and call-in setup is always free.
Whether you're moving and want to setup a home phone in your new place, or you'd like to add a home phone system to your current residence, we've made it easy for you to get it ordered and connected.
Below, we've outlined the big points to keep in mind when making the choice to connect a telephone service in your home.
Included Features and Devices: Which advanced home phone features and services, such as those we've listed above, are included in your package?
Price: Know what your rate is going to be once the introductory period ends. Also, look at the monthly service fees, consider the upfront installation fees, and see if your provider will waive them or offer rebates.
Contract Terms and Lengths: Not only is price important, but be sure to read the fine print on your home phone's contract length as well. Confirm that you are committing to a contract for a specified amount of time and if there will be any early-cancellation fees.
Add-Ons and Bonuses: Companies often include numerous incentives when bundling together their home services. So, ask about any deals, discounts, rebates, credits, or cash-back offers your home phone provider can provide by bundling it together with your TV and Internet services.
In the end, getting the most value out of your advanced home phone service is easier than you think. Because with our easy-to-use comparison engine, you can see side-by-side what many nationwide phone companies – such as AT&T, Verizon, and Time Warner – are currently offering in your area.
Simply enter your address at the top of the page to find and compare the phone companies available in your neighborhood.
In our modern era of always having our cell phones and other smart devices on hand, many people think that their home phones have now become useless chunks of plastic. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. See below for just some of the benefits of keeping your home phone service.
What is a landline?
A landline phone, commonly referred to as a home phone, is a type of phone service that transmits audio data through a wire or fiber optic cable. Landlines are different than mobile phones
Do I still need a home phone?
Cell phones have become mainstream forms of communication leaving many to wonder if they still need a home phone. While home phones aren't completely necessary if you have a cell phone, there are some reasons why you might want to keep one connected. For one, home phones tend to have better voice quality and reception since they are hardwired directly into the phone network. This could be beneficial if you spend a lot of time on the phone at home (either on conference calls or talking to distant family). Landline phones are also faster and more accurate in case of an emergency. A home phone is connected to your exact address, so the 911 operator will know exactly where you are located if you aren't able to speak. These are just a few reasons why you might want to think twice before ditching your home phone.
What are the cheapest home phone providers?
Home phone service is relatively inexpensive in general, but the following service providers are known for their affordable home phone service:
Can I get a phone only plan?
Not interested in internet or TV services? No sweat, most service providers offer standalone home phone service, so you don't have to feel obligated to hook up internet and TV as well. To find a standalone home phone plan in your area, simply enter your address at the top of the page and we'll show you all of your options.

I find it helpful to try and get my investment rationale into as few words as possible. Ideally I would review these (along with my investment theses) from time to time to determine if I should increase, maintain, or decrease a position.

The financial crisis and the future of innovation: A view of technical change with the aid of history
This essay locates the current financial crisis and its consequences in a historical context. It briefly outlines the difference in patterns of innovation between the first two or three decades of each technological revolution .regularly ending in a major financial collapse. and the next two or three decades of diffusion, until maturity is reached. With this historical experience in mind, the essay discusses the opportunity space for innovation across the production spectrum taking into account the specificity of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) paradigm and the increasing social and environmental pressures in the context of a global economy. Finally, there is a brief look at the sorts of institutional innovations that would be required to provide adequate finance to take full advantage of those opportunities.

The Office of Personnel Management highlighted its plans to leverage human relations IT for recruiting and managing the federal workforce in its Strategic Information Technology Plan released March 11.
These efforts include assessing performance through a new automated system set to launch this year, updating background-investigation systems and using data analytics to create a more precise picture of the federal workforce.
The plan is aimed at "enabling successful practices and initiatives, and enterprise and business initiatives that define OPM's IT modernization efforts," wrote OPM Director Katherine Archuleta.
USA Performance, slated to launch this summer, is intended to allow agencies to better monitor employee output.
"USA Performance enables agencies to automate their performance appraisal process throughout the entire performance rating cycle," according to OPM's website. "Agencies can develop performance plans, track and monitor employees' performance, provide feedback and ratings, and electronically sign performance plans as agency appraisal programs require."
OPM's background investigation systems, collectively known as EPIC, will undergo a multi-stage transformation in 2014.
"The growing security threat and critical need for quick, valid and detailed vetting of individuals for national security and Federal employment demands a responsive and agile process for background investigations," the plan said. "We are continuously enhancing our automated suite of background investigation systems."
OPM said is considering new capabilities for USALearning, formerly known as GoLearn, to provide better education opportunities for the federal workforce. The fiscal 2015 administration budget proposal released last week put a premium on Senior Executive Service training.

How you use your insights dashboard will depend on your business needs and the data you have available to start with.
However, to give you an idea of the sorts of questions we have enabled people to answer, here are some examples.
Please remember: many of the different attributes can be combined to ask more complicated or composite questions.
How many customers do I know about?
The dashboard's top bar provides a guide of the relevant audience size. Before you add any filters, you will see the number of customers for whom you have data that can be explored.
As interest data is a key part of enabling you to create better segments, we will often only consider a user as part of the dashboard dataset if we have sufficient data to derive interests.
As you add filters to the dashboard, the figures adjust to reflect the relevant people fitting your query.
What proportion of my (total or filtered) audience is female? are there any outlying older / younger people?
For key demographic questions, the demographic attributes give you either a snapshot view or a full breakdown by age.
What does my audience like?
You can delve into interests in a high-level or more tailored way. For dashboards with topics arranged into interest categories, you can see quickly what sport a group is interested in, for example.
By dragging specific interests into the filter bar and placing them on top of one another, you can build custom combinations of interest - for instance, Premier League OR Sky Sports, for example, or a beer brand AND Premier League.
How many people are relevant for a specific group of interests?
This kind of segmentation question is one of the key uses of the dashboard, allowing you to combine different criteria and use the enriched interest data attributed to your customers.
A simple example could be to create a 'custom audience' - this is a list based on a number of interests.
Any customer with one or more of the interests attributed to them will be included in the segment. When you drag this list into the filters bar, you will see how many people this applies to.
How much do monthly spend or data usage affect customers' demographics and interests in aggregate?
By providing data that is separated (or can be separated) into quantitative groups, we can add these to your attribute lists and allow you to filter using these.
With data usage or monthly spend, you would drag the criteria you wanted to investigate into the filters bar and see how the cards on the dashboard change.
If the filters bar is previously empty, the arrows will show you the movement of various bits of information relative to the total audience baseline.
We can also do the same thing with third party data. If a set of data points has been applied across the whole customer base, we can create bespoke attributes for these and allow the same sort of filtering. In this case, ONS categories:
What does a particular interest mean?
As the interests surfaced by your audience can be incredibly varied or specific, you may be unsure what some mean. As our understanding of interest is closely tied to Wikipedia, you can expand any interest in the dashboard to see a Wikipedia summary explanation. This is possible wherever you see the third symbol in the bottom right as below.
What else is related to particular interests?
Not everything that your audience is interested in will be declared socially, so we are believers in the value of affinity- in other words, closely related topics that help you navigate what else might be relevant for a particular group. With the dashboard, this comes to life in the 'related to' cards. If there's an interest you want to expand, drag it onto the '+' and see what else is relevant.
Where is my audience located?
If you have location data available and want to include this in your dashboard, the location attribute gives you a quick snapshot of where your audience is based.
This can help show if a region is under performing, or for example if a particular offer had a regional bias.
When is the activity happening?
Very simple but useful attributes included in the dashboard can tell you the division of activity by the day of week and the time of day. You could potentially cross reference this information when planning campaign communications or promotional activity.
What content is popular with a particular group?
Where site content is a key element of customer activity to track, the dashboard can point to the specific content that's trending for the group you choose. This is an example of an attribute where the calendar element would be useful.
We also understand the key topics from the pages so you can see any common themes or anomalies worthy of your attention.
While there are many many more questions that could be added to the list, hopefully this gives you a good head-start to understand the sort of questions the dashboard can help you compose and answer.

The Charity Commission has updated its trustee guidance on reserves, CC19, but the Charity Finance Group has objected to its failure to consult on it first and expressed concerns that it could make the sector less resilient.
The Commission is calling on trustees to "engage with and use" finance guidance from the regulator to run their charities effectively. It is to show that "trustees are ultimately responsible for their charities' finances, and respond to the need to make sure its guidance reflects the most current challenges facing thousands of charities".
The three sets of updated guidance are CC12 on Managing a charity's finances: planning, managing difficulties and insolvency; CC19 on Charity reserves: building resilience; and its Charity governance, finance and resilience: 15 questions trustees should ask.
The CFG has criticised the updates for the "excessive emphasis placed on views of external stakeholders and unplanned closures" calling them "unhelpful". It has also raised concerns over the risk that trustees will "misunderstand the role of reserves and not develop effective policies".
It also said it was concerned that the guidance does not focus "on the need to build a reserves policy from a position of understanding of both the risks and opportunities facing a charity", and that the guidance does not "emphasis the need for trustees to create a reserves policy based on a balance of needs for current and future beneficiaries".
Update 'unhelpful'
Caron Bradshaw, chief executive of the CFG, said that although she agrees with the Commission that trustees should think carefully about reserves and that the guidance should be refreshed, the updated guidance is "unhelpful".
She said: "Trustees should decide on a reserves policy and target range based on the risks and opportunities facing their organisation as well as a balance between the current and future needs of beneficiaries. By focusing on the risk of unplanned closure, for example, the guidance does not encourage charities to take a holistic view of the needs of their charity.
"The reversal in position on reserves could have an unintended consequence of making the sector less resilient as charities focus on building more reserves and missing opportunities to grow and deliver their charitable objectives. There is also a danger that it could encourage charities to breach their duty to have the right level of reserves for their organisation in an effort to appease stakeholders."
In response to criticism from the CFG, a Commission spokeswoman said: "We have shared our draft with CFG and are aware of their views through the helpful discussion we have had. We have clarified that we intend to review the guidance more generally later in the year."
The CFG said it welcomes the full review and looks forward to improving the guidance in due course.
Updates a 'knee-jerk reaction'
Kate Sayer, a partner at Sayer Vincent, said that the updated guidance is a "knee-jerk reaction" to the upcoming publication of the PACAC report into Kids Company, which will be released on Monday. She also criticised the lack of consultation.
She noted that the Commission has introduced a lot of references to unplanned closures, which she said is a "major change". She said this may encourage trustees to calculate a reserves policy on the cost of redundancies and of closure, which is "not an appropriate way to think about reserves" as it is not a survival strategy for a charity. She referred to this as an "appalling way to communicate, and one that doesn't make sense".
She said this is because the definition of reserves and way of calculating them doesn't reference occupied property, which would be of value again if a charity closed.
Sayer also said a consequence of the updated CC9 is that it encourages charities to keep large reserves, which won't encourage donors who may believe that their donation is going to cover a charity's cost of closure.
Changes to content
Changes to the guidance have included a focus on the role of a reserves policy in maintaining confidence of funders and external stakeholders, as well as the role of a reserves policy in avoiding unplanned closure of the charity. It also includes a change in emphasis from having to justify holding reserves towards being asked to justify not holding reserves.
The changes will mean that larger charities will be required to publish their assessment of the risks that the charity faces and how to manage them in their annual report. And that the reserves policy will need to reflect the risks of unplanned closure associated with the charity's business model, spending commitments, potential liabilities and financial forecasts.
On unplanned closures, the Commission said that where a charity has to close, it expects trustees to have planned for an orderly shutdown. The guidance covers what is meant by insolvency, and what steps trustees should take if they believe they are insolvent, including getting good professional advice.
The reserves guidance does confirm that there is no single level or even a range of reserves that is right for all charities. It says that any target set by trustees for the level of reserves to be held, or decision that there is no need for reserves, should reflect the particular circumstances of the individual charity. However "trustees should not simply monitor their level of reserves annually, but keep them under review throughout the year".
Sarah Atkinson, director of policy and research at the Charity Commission, said: "We recognise that charities operate in a very challenging environment, with some charities heavily reliant on single sources of funding. So it is all the more important that trustees are in control of their charity's finances. This means actively taking steps to manage their charity's finances through regular monitoring, asking the right questions and getting professional help where needed. Donors and beneficiaries rightly ask questions about issues such as reserves, and want to understand why charities do or don't have them. Reserves policies help tell that story clearly and demonstrate that trustees are aware of the real risks.
"These guidance updates are designed to help trustees make the right call and support them, not to overburden them. That's why there are also guides on how to set a good reserves policy for small and large charities. As regulator there is a limit on how much we can do as these are individual decisions for trustees to make. But these tools will help them manage any difficulties properly and with confidence."

Featured in New York Magazine's The Strategist A hilariously candid account of one woman's quest to bring her post-baby marriage back from the brink, with life-changing, real-world advice. How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids tackles the last taboo subject of parenthood: the startling, white-hot fury that new (and not-so-new) mothers often have for their mates. After Jancee Dunn had her baby, she found that she was doing virtually all the household chores, even though she and her husband worked equal hours. She asked herself: How did I become the 'expert' at changing a diaper? Many expectant parents spend weeks researching the best crib or safest car seat, but spend little if any time thinking about the titanic impact the baby will have on their marriage - and the way their marriage will affect their child. Enter Dunn, her well-meaning but blithely unhelpful husband, their daughter, and her boisterous extended family, who show us the ways in which outmoded family patterns and traditions thwart the overworked, overloaded parents of today. On the brink of marital Armageddon, Dunn plunges into the latest relationship research, solicits the counsel of the country's most renowned couples' and sex therapists, canvasses fellow parents, and even consults an FBI hostage negotiator on how to effectively contain an "explosive situation." Instead of having the same fights over and over, Dunn and her husband must figure out a way to resolve their larger issues and fix their family while there is still time. As they discover, adding a demanding new person to your relationship means you have to reevaluate--and rebuild--your marriage. In an exhilarating twist, they work together to save the day, happily returning to the kind of peaceful life they previously thought was the sole province of couples without children. Part memoir, part self-help book with actionable and achievable advice, How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids is an eye-opening look at how the man who got you into this position in this first place is the ally you didn't know you had.

Dunn (coauthor of Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir) proves herself a clever, honest, and hilarious writer who isnt afraid to take her own marriage on a great experiment. Few writers would be courageous enough to lay bare such uncomfortable truths as her verbal abuse of her husband in response to his selfishness and how it may be threatening the normal development of their daughter. This book-length intervention tackles the whole spectrum of marital stressors, including dishwasher disagreement, financial infidelity, and weekend activity management. Dunn talks to experts in their fields, including $800-per-hour family therapist Terry Real, sociologist Michael Kimmel, and marriage researchers John and Julie Gottman. Her warm and funny prose will restore hope for momsand dadseverywhere, as when she writes, Ive made myself reach for his hand when a fight is loomingeven if Im so irritated that Id rather pick up a live rodent... the familiar contours of his hand remind me that this is the person I married, not the bogeyman.

Bevanda, a name with 40 years of history!
We are the first five-star design hotel in the Northern Adriatic, a place that provides its guests with complete relaxation in richly furnished rooms and personally customized services.
The hotel was built on the foundations of a restaurant of the same name, established in 1971. We have enriched the famous name with 10 elegantly furnished rooms, each named after a famous person who stayed in Opatija throughout history and who had been inspired by its trendy cultural and social scene.
We are here to provide you with a place to relax and enjoy yourselves, and to meet all of your desires. Just by the sea, with a view of the beautiful cities of Rijeka and Opatija, the Istrian landscape and islands in the distance,
Bevanda is – the unique Adriatic!
We wish to make your stay in Bevanda a unique and fulfilling experience.
While you relax and rest, we take care to make your stay perfect. The following services are available (charged extra):
- Shuttle service from nearby airports (Zagreb, Rijeka, Pula, Ljubljana and Trieste)
- Trip to Istria or the nearby islands with the hotel's speed-boat
- Organization of land tours in Croatia, or nearby Slovenia and Italy
- Organization of wellness programmes in Opatija
- Dry cleaning
Architectural, visual and woodwork solutions in Bevanda were designed by our Croatian partners.
Having proven that the best ideas might not be far away from home, we appointed Dražul Glušica, architects from Rijeka to design the hotel architecture, the woodwork was designed by the Sinago Company, key pieces of furniture were created by the Kvadra Company, while the visual solutions were envisaged in the Kuharić Matoš Studio.
We hope that our network of vendors will grow together with us, creating a healthy and inspiring environment.
room service
The mini bar (as many as two fridges in some of the rooms) is filled with more than 20 different drinks – from water and non-alcoholic beverages to sparkling wines and spirits. There is also a luxurious room service food and wine menu inspired by our restaurant.
These could be two reasons to never leave your room and to enjoy the privacy and luxury of the Bevanda room service.
In order to make your relaxation as easy and comfortable as possible, Bevanda's rooms are equipped with cosmetic products from famous international brands.
Our bathroom cosmetics are from the French Lanvin Company, established at the end of the 19th century – at exactly the same time as Opatija's greatest rise and its growing reputation in the Mediterranean. We hand-picked the towel material and other bathroom equipment and customized them to fit our guests' needs.
Personalized service. Bevanda's staff are here for you!
We treat each guest individually and do our best to meet all their requirements. By constantly improving our services we wish to make Bevanda a home-like environment.
