Insurance Abstract
A system for reducing health-insurance costs including fraud for
patients uses an identification card to allow doctors to obtain
a patient's medical history. The identification card can either
hold the medical history itself or can link the provider to a database
containing the medical history. A method of using the card requires
the card to be present to bill; this prevents fraud by the provider.
A method of using the card requires the card to be matched to a
photograph of the user; this prevents fraud by the card holder.
The system includes a database of patients. According to a method,
the database of patients can be monitored to check the frequency
of diseases.

Insurance Description
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates to health insurance. More specifically,
the invention relates to systems for reducing costs, especially
for patients who may be away from the typical provider.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Previous insurance systems incur significant costs when
an insured patient leaves their typical provider. For example, an
insured patient has a medical problem while on vacation, out of
town, or during a time when the doctor's office is closed: for example,
a primary provider's office is closed due to the time of day or
the doctor is on vacation. The patient has fallen and is brought
to a hospital or nearby office or patient becomes unconscious and
is unable to communicate. The examining doctor does not know the
patient's medical status before seeing him. The patient communicates
what he is able to, and the doctor checks the patient's wallet and
tries to gather as much information as possible.
[0005] Examination will provide some information, but not nearly
enough. The doctor will stabilize the patient and then hospitalize
the patient to find out what doctor needs to know. Such information
includes prior medical conditions, previous attacks of same condition
patient is now being treated for, how many of these same attacks,
and with what frequency these attack occur, what work-up in the
office and hospital he has had for these same problems and others
problems, the medications patient is on, what changes in medications
were made and when they were made, what surgical procedures were
done and when they were done, what complications the patient has
had from medication, surgery; what reactions to drugs, food, weather,
seasons of the year, and so forth; what immunizations patients has
had and when and what reactions has he had to these immunizations,
and family history.
[0006] The doctor will then order tests, depending on the results
of the physical examination while the patient is in the hospital.
This could range from blood work to a MRI and entail several days
in the hospital along with consultation from different specialties.
Medication will be given to patient that may or may not be effective
or cause negative reactions requiring further hospital days. In
today's environment, there is a great deal of redundant and unnecessary
medical workup done so as not to expose doctor to a lawsuit.
[0007] The current system is plagued by redundancy, mismanagement,
fraud and at times sub par treatment of the patient.
[0008] At the present time the patient goes to his/her primary
care provider and is treated and leaves the office putting trust
in the hands of the physician and office workers in that they will
make the correct adjustments to the patient's records. The patient
also, has no record of his/her own medical history, problems, and
workups. In all fairness, whether or not the primary care providers
have good intentions, mistakes, purposeful or not, are made. This
can lead to inadequate treatment of the patient.
[0009] At the present time, a patient who wants to keep medical
records must carry a complete hardcopy of them. This process is
bulky, inefficient, and can lead to mistakes, whether fraudulent
or inadvertent. Patients should have access to their medical history
at all times thus improving quality of care.
[0010] At the present time, a patient arrives at the emergency
room for any number of reasons. Most commonly, the patient feels
ill, sick, hurt, etc. and his/her PCP instructs patient to go to
the ER, this commonly happens in the patient's local area. Other
scenarios include patients from another state (very common in the
southern states secondary to northerners traveling down south "snow
birds`) and these patients commonly are seen by unfamiliar ER physicians
and are admitted by unfamiliar PCP's and/or specialists. This also
happens in other countries; again, unfamiliar physicians see the
[0011] At the present time, the physicians must rely on information
from the patient, which is notoriously inaccurate and he/she must
try and obtain old records from wherever the patient has been treated
before. This is most often a prolonged, inefficient, inaccurate,
and time-consuming effort. This can lead to sub-par treatment of
the patient and most often leads to redundant labs, tests, procedures
and prolonged hospital stays. With new chip technology, physician
would have access to patients' medical history. If the physician
had access to this information, he/she would be more efficient in
treating the patient. This would cut down on redundant tests, labs,
and procedures, and will ultimately lead to decreased hospital stays
thus decreasing health care costs. Other problems inherent in this
system are related to, as above, mistakes either inadvertent or
fraudulent. If providers such as medicate and insurance companies
had access to patient's information (i.e., labs, tests, procedures,
hospital stays, etc.) and could monitor the accuracy of the information
this would cut down on mistakes inadvertent or fraudulent and decrease
health care costs.
[0012] The system in place now falls short of addressing these
issues. The system now deals with this lack of universal patient
information by placing restrictions on certain labs, tests, procedures,
and hospital stays. This system was put in place in an attempt to
keep costs low. The fact is that if there was a system in place
that provided patient information and ultimately allowed for direct
access to the examination by physicians and health care providers
such as Medicare and insurance companies quality of care would be
improved and health care costs would be decreased for the reasons
stated above.
[0013] It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide
a system for reducing health-insurance costs including fraud for
patients that overcomes the hereinafore-mentioned disadvantages
of the heretofore-known systems of this general type and that links
a patient to a database including their medical history.
[0014] If the patient needs further workup elsewhere his or her
medical history can be accessed easily with new chip technology
and decisions about the patient's medical care made more accurately.
[0015] Providers such as Medicare and insurance companies could
have access to all visits, procedures, workups and laboratory tests
whereas now these companies rely on physicians and their staff,
hospitals and their staff, and clinics and their staff to accurately
provide the information. This information again can be inaccurate
whether purposeful or not and with new chip technology can be directly
accessed thereby foregoing the necessity of relying on physicians,
hospitals, clinics and their staff to provide the information. This
obviously will cut down on fraudulent claims but also improve efficiency
and most importantly improve quality of care.
[0016] Doctors will be provided everything that he does not know
with prior art. When the patient enters hospital or other facility
for medical problems, all the information on the patient will be
known. With this invention, the patient can be tracked medically
24/7 while primary care office is not available.
[0017] The invention is a chip with all medical history and tests
for this patient on it. This chip can be carried in a patient's
identification card, which is carried by him at all times. Each
time the patient sees his doctor or visits his medical office, the
chip is updated with new information. Updating of chip can be accomplished
by handing card with chip to office personnel. The patient is then
seen by doctor who either writes on "palm" pilot or dictates
information directly into office computer. This chip is then updated
and card is then returned to patient. Other information available
on chip would be blood type and possibly DNA.
[0018] The invention is a universal card that holds the patient's
entire medical history and the hardware and software that allows
access to this information.
[0019] The card will be given to the patient and the patient will
bring it to the physician's office. The office has the hardware
and software to access the data on the card for patients past medical
history. The patient will be treated and physician will update the
card with now data via dictation and or other data apparatus (i.e.,
PALM.RTM. technology, writing tablet DICTAPHONE.RTM., etc.). At
this time, either the data can be either directly to the insurance
company and/or Medicare or a signal can be sent to the above company
and/or they can access the information directly. This will improve
patient care by having a more precise record system and by having
patients' histories at the physician's fingertips. This will out
down on health care costs by decreasing unnecessary and redundant
labs, tests, and procedures. In addition, by decreasing the number
of mistakes either inadvertent or fraudulent made by health care
providers and their staff.
[0020] Other features which are considered as characteristic for
the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
[0021] Although the invention is illustrated and described herein
as embodied in a system for reducing health-insurance costs including
fraud for patients, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited
to the details shown, since various modifications and structural
changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of
the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the
[0022] The construction and method of operation of the invention,
however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof
will be best understood from the following description of specific
embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a healthcare system; and
[0024] FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a healthcare system.
[0025] Referring now to the figures of the drawing in detail and
first, particularly, to FIG. 1 thereof, there is seen a card 1.
The card 1 includes patient information such as a photograph 3,
name 4, signature 6, and an emergency contact telephone number 7.
[0026] In addition, the card 1 includes insurance information such
as the name of the insurer 5. In addition, the card can include
coverage information such as an insurance plan name, limits of coverage,
deductibles, and exclusions.
[0027] The card includes a key, preferably a smartcard chip 2,
required for unlocking a connection 10 to a medical history 12 of
the patient.
[0028] Preferably, the medical history 12 includes each patient's
test results 13, diagnoses 14, medications taken 15, and healthcare
provider notes 16.
[0029] In one preferred embodiment, the medical history 12 is stored
locally on the card 1 device with said patient information and said
insurance information. In the case of a smartcard, the medical history
12 is stored electronically in the smartcard chip 2.
[0030] In an alternate embodiment, the medical history 12 is stored
remotely on a networked database 11. A computer 20 with a smartcard
reader 21 is connected via a network 10 to the database 11.
[0031] The computer 20 reads the medical history 12. Depending
on the embodiment, the computer 20 reads the medical history 12
directly from the card 1 or from a database 11. The computer 20
is also used for supplementing the medical history 12 with new data.
Preferably, the medical history 12 includes data in a standardized
format for easy comparison.
[0032] The device, system, and methods reduce healthcare costs.
By making medical histories available to providers, repeated tests
are not necessary. For example, if a test were recently ordered,
then a new doctor could access the old results and save the costs
of conducting a new test. Likewise by including data in a standardized
format, quality of care is improved because a health-care provider
now has baseline with which to compare new tests. For example, by
comparing a new EKG to a previous one, a doctor can quickly determine
whether a heart attack has occurred.
[0033] a patient with card in hand, pocket, or handbag, or other
arrives in an ER. Not withstanding or dependant upon the patient's
state of health the patient has all of her medical history in or
on the person. In other words, if the patient is incapacitated secondary
to stroke, syncope, drug use/abuse, etc., the patient's medical
history can be obtained. A system will be in place and made common
place and known to EMS/fire rescue that they are aware that this
card is present and attainable at the said patients household and
is located in purse or "box", or around neck on chain,
i.e. dog tags.
[0034] This patient has a health related problem and is triaged
by the triage nurse (or whatever system that particular hospital
has in place) in the ER. The nurse (or other) places card in hardware
(provided by company) and the patient's information goes into the
hospital computer system and/or ER computer system. The ER physician
is able to access this information and is better able to treat patient.
The ER physician can determine if this particular problem has been
present before what and how they were treated and what workups were
done in the past.
[0035] This will cut down on health care costs by decreasing unnecessary
and redundant labs, tests, and procedures. In addition, by decreasing
the number of mistakes either inadvertent or fraudulent made by
health care providers and their staff. This will lead to improvement
of patient can secondary to the same reasoning as above and will
decrease hospital costs and thus health care costs as above.
[0036] The ER physician at some time in the course of treatment
makes a decision as to admit the patient or not. The above information
will help in making this decision. Once the decision is made to
admit the patient a primary care physician and/or specialist is
called to ad6t. At this time, the PCP or Specialist makes the decision
to admit or not. With a full history in hand, the physician is better
able to make this decision.
[0037] The patient is treated. The card is either updated by the
medical records department or other. At this point, Medicare and/or
insurance companies can access this information. Again, this will
cut down on health care costs by decreasing unnecessary and redundant
labs, tests, and procedures. In addition, by decreasing the number
of mistakes either inadvertent or fraudulent made by health care
providers and their staff.
[0038] This card can be used anywhere in the world.
[0039] Menu: (will encompass all the disciplines under each heading

Repost: Freshness from divinity saves us from a rut
There is so much that is fresh and new and exciting to kids. But what about to us as adults? Do we express the same vitality, joy and exuberance that children do? Many times it may seem like that kind of thought may be lacking. After all, we have already experienced so much of what they are just beginning to!
How do we bring that childlike joy, energy and enthusiasm to each day? I've found that gaining a new insight about Spirit each day makes me feel alive and creative again. It makes me feel whole and complete and excited about the day. It gives me fresh insights that break the dullness of routine with the spontaneity of Life and Love (synonyms for God). It also brings a fresh, new perspective on how to tackle challenges.
One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity.
These moments of divine consciousness are refreshing! They are like breathing the fresh air of infinite Spirit! We can humble ourselves to be open and receptive to the new ideas that are coming from Spirit, God, each day.
We live in an age of Love's divine adventure to be All-in-all.
It's a joyful adventure! 🙂

This is a re-post of a post written by me last year.
God-centered employment
This is a re-run of a post I wrote earlier. I think the ideas are still worth sharing.
I have a gratitude journal app which sends me notifications for jotting things down.
Today's topic is about finding meaning in work. It asks:
How does your work help other people?
What unique skills and strengths can you use in your work?
I love the reminder to value our work. It helps me appreciate our uniqueness — that we are individual manifestations of God expressing Him in special and unique ways.
I like to think that we are always employed because EVERY moment God is utilizing us to express His goodness and love. Every moment we are needed and valued. This helps me be motivated and brings inspiration to my work and daily activities.
. . . let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.1
So if you're looking for employment or simply looking for freshness in your current job, start with an absolute love for God. Loving God, getting really grounded in a deep love for Him/Her, gives us lasting satisfaction and the ability to express Him. Then our work will simply be utilizing the qualities that He has given us such as poise, understanding, compassion, intelligence, joy, and humor to help others.
True prayer is not asking God for love . . . Prayer is the utilization of the love wherewith He loves us.2
In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all . . . 3

Overcoming personality
I'm trying to be alert to the need not to glorify or belittle someone else's personality. Sure there are some people that we get along with more than others, but looking deeply to see the spiritual nature — the God bestowed nature that includes an inexhaustible list of spiritual qualities — is helping me perceive divine reality. The actual spiritual substance that is underlying being.
For instance, if someone is sick, I can see that person spiritually as whole, poised, receptive, loving, at one with God and including all right ideas from God, while tending to their human need with compassion and humility.
Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy.*
This spiritual perspective heals.
This can be helpful in an office setting as well. That horrible boss is actually God's spiritual, valuable, loved and loving child. He or she is the embodiment of light. Discerning even one good thing, one quality such as compassion toward their family or honesty with their colleagues, can heal the situation because it melts the suggestions of evil that say that all is material and limited.
This is absolutely helpful in looking at political leaders. That great act didn't come from that particular person; it came from God giving the right idea — expressing Himself — to the people so that it would be a blessing to the community.
Giving the credit to God helps me realize everyone's innate Christly nature and capacity to be receptive to the ideas and messages coming to them from God. I can recognize that we all have the power to listen to God and that we don't have to fear because it is our Father's good pleasure to give us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32).
All of us can recognize the Kingdom within (Luke 17:21) and work together effectively to see that.
Let's rejoice!

Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary today!
Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary today!
We can do that by living Christ – the message of love from God to all men, women and children.
Bringing the Christ — the Spirit of Truth and Love – into all your conversations and interactions makes today a truly special day.
I love to think back on moments where I have felt the Christ — the transforming power of God's love that Jesus so perfectly embodied. Sometimes it's been on Christmas day, so full of a spiritual love for others, the love of family and friends. Sometimes it has been at a summer camp where the beautiful voices of our counselors fill the air as they sing hymns while we lay in bed falling asleep. Other times it has been in the innocent, sinless, childlike joy that comes from doing fun activities that are wholesome and good.
The message of Christ is that each of us is loved right where we are. Christly love is such a contrast to the brusqueness and busyness of some days. But we can take pause and know that there is nothing more powerful than Christ love and that it is here today healing, uplifting and blessing the world.
I know that we all have moments of encountering God's unconditional love. These moments are the reality. These moments of glimpsing the divine presence and allness and goodness are what we live for — they annihilate discord, sickness, fear, lack sometimes in even just a moment.
One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity.1
Don't we all want more of this "eternity" — a sense of concrete goodness that will never end? Absolutely! We can choose to live this spiritual reality right now by Christ's love being so real to us that nothing else matters.
Sometimes we have to work for it — fight for those moments of serenity, satisfaction, peace, of knowing how loved you are and your colleagues and friends and family are. The "mist" would try to obscure the view, to hide who we really are as the Sons and Daughters of Light. But don't believe it! Take the time to pray, meditate or feel the connection with the Divine presence, the special and unique way that Christ speaks specifically to you. And then, once you feel filled up with that love, share it with others! Give it like a Christmas gift to brighten someone's day. It is the best gift we can ever give.

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
Psalms 139:17, 18 NLT
More than a praising of our mortal ego, Spirit is letting us know that each of our identities, as the spiritual child of God, is deeply loved by God. Living in God, for God fills all space, is all that we do. So we can let God inform all our thoughts about ourselves.
No self-hatred.
No self-condemnation.
No fear.
No limitation.
In the same way that you look at a precious little baby, God is looking at you, His precious little baby.
You are not a sinner.
God is seeing your identity as spotless, pure and free always!
Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.
Matthew 5:48 The Message
Overcoming self-justification through love
Self-justification leads us astray. Sometimes we may feel like justifying our bad day, or treating someone poorly, or acting out of impulsive human will. If we feel that we are justifying something in our lives, it may be an indicator that listening to God, yielding to divine Love, can open the way to making us feel at peace and revealing even better solutions than we were thinking of.
I recall a time when I was having a rough day. I began ruminating and thinking about all the reasons why I was justified in feeling that things were going so badly: our preschool age son woke up at 3:30a.m., my husband was out-of-town, our new cat was being troublesome. All I was focused on was: how can I make my day, my life, easier? Well making our life easy wasn't exactly Christ Jesus message to us. He certainly didn't take the easy road and I didn't have to be tempted into thinking that was the solution either. I could meet whatever challenges came my way with Christ-like confidence, courage and conviction.
Whenever I find myself ruminating on something — getting stuck in thinking that the solution will come in one specific way, I pray. Jesus said "the kingdom of heaven is within you" (Luke 17:21). I have come to realize that the kingdom of heaven — the experience of health, harmony, love, dominion, joy, and freedom — can be found here and now, through our oneness with God, infinite Mind, all the time. We don't have to wait for human circumstances to change. It may seem like a different income level, or job, or location, or family status is going to solve our problems. But the Christlike activity of God is always revealing in human consciousness revealing the Way — the way to see, know and experience the kingdom of God right here and now.
Well back to my rough day. Although I don't like to admit it, the thought from the carnal mind that was supposedly going to make everything better was that maybe we should give the cat back (we had recently adopted him from a shelter) — after all, there was the litter to clean up, the cost of the food, keeping us up at night, etc. Wouldn't my life be better if we didn't have a cat after all?
I don't like to make blind decisions out of human will or self-justification so I decided I would pray about it. I talked to my husband about it that day, and he alerted me to see which option I felt I needed to justify more: keeping our cat or returning him? Well, there were what seemed like a million practical reasons as to why I was justified in returning him.
But as I reached out in prayer, the message that came was: what if you just loved him? Yielding to that message brought such a sweet sense of calm and trust. This was a whole new thought. I had been listening to all the justifications going on in my thought about all the reasons this cat was making my life difficult instead of focusing on the love and affection that had impelled us to adopt him. Through prayer, I began to see our cat, Joey, as a beautiful, spiritual idea of God and I felt compassion and humility toward him. I was also able to feel a greater sense of calm about the day in general despite my lack of sleep and frustration and family not being around to help. The frustration of the day completely melted and everything that day became more harmonious. My sister and some friends called and invited us to participate in a fun activity with the kids. And I was able to book an earlier flight home for my husband (instead of the 2-day bus ride across country that we had originally booked for him) at no additional cost.
It was clear that Love was embracing and meeting the needs of all of us, and it was my job to yield to this feeling of Love, loving us all. What a joy and relief that brings!
A few days later, I realized I was feeling so settled and peaceful that I hadn't even thought about our home as being anything less than harmonious. Our cat, Joey, was seen as just another member of the family. Out of the blue, our son said "I don't want to take Joey back to the Humane Society". I said, "Me neither."
In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, — self-will, self-justification, and self-love, — which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death.
Divine Love dissolved the self-justification that I had been feeling. Just the other day, Joey was laying on our son's playmat while our son gently rolled his cars and trucks over Joey's back. Joey lay still and peacefully content as the cars rolled over "Mt. Joey", as our son called him. Later, Joey gently licked our dog, giving her face a "bath" as she lay peacefully resting. I was awed by the sense of peace and harmony present between all of us in our home.

Stow-on-the-Wold is an ancient Cotswold Wool Town of about 2000 people situated beside the Roman Fosse Way in north-east Gloucestershire, and in the heart of the Cotswold Hills. Set on a rounded hill at a height of about 800' above sea level, this elevated position and the effects of the elements have encouraged the creation of the enclosed town square. Where the ancient Jurassic Way (Cotswold Ridgeway) and the Salt Way met, an Iron Age fort was built (c. 700 BC) that extended from the cottages in Camp Gardens to the eastern edge of the Square and northern edge of Street. There is evidence of earlier settlements in this part of the Cotswolds. Stone Age and Bronze Age burial mounds are common throughout the area. Originally a small settlement within the lands of Maugersbury Manor, which was controlled by Evesham Abbey from 708 AD until its dissolution in 1537 AD, Stow was intended by the Abbots to be a centre for trade, leaving Maugersbury to its agriculture. Consequently Stow expanded and became a parish in its own right, with the boundary between them being moved several times to accommodate Stow as it grew.
The houses of Stow are built with the mellow Cotswold stone from local quarries. Some have massive internal oak beams from the days when Gloucestershire was covered mainly in forest. A local artist, Trevor Ashcroft, who lived in the house next to St Edwards Hall (now a shop), created the etching seen here which shows the west side of the Square between Church Street and Stow Lodge Hotel, with the church in the background. Note the house that is on the slant, next to the last on the right. The Council office is above St Edward's Café in the fourth building from the left. This St Edward's House was built in the mid 18th century and modelled on Bedfont House built in 1740s for the Cottrell family in Chipping Campden, by Thomas Woodward. The fluted Corinthian pilasters and cornice are features common to both buildings. The Kings Arms is a good example of a coaching inn where the main entrance was through the arch leading to the stables. Charles I stayed here at the time of the Battle of Naseby in 1645. It featured as The Kings Arms in the recent TV production of Thomas Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge. At the end of Digbeth Street stands the Royalist Hotel, said to be the oldest inn in England. An inn has stood on the site since 947 AD.
Stow was, until recent times, supplied with water from springs below the town. Due to the local geology, water held in the upper layers of limestone gushes out of various fissures on the hillsides. Some of these springs have never dried up, and the two in Well Lane were made into wells. The recently-refurbished top well in Well Lane is a Grade II Listed Building. For centuries women and children had carried water with yoke and bucket from the well on Well Lane. Water carts plied between the well and the town where the water was sold to the townsfolk at a price of a farthing a bucket. To increase the supply, water was brought up from Lower Swell, and several systems were tried to force water up the hill including windmills and a horsemill, but none lasted. In 1871, Joseph Chamberlayne, lord of the manor, donated £2000 to the town for a deep well to be bored. This was built by the local ironmonger Henry Teague, who also ran an iron foundry, and it supplied the town until mains water came to Stow. Although mains water was laid on in 1937, there are still residents who drink only the well water as it tastes better. The town's main source of wealth in former times was wool, and sheep from the surrounding hills and villages were brought to the fairs in the Square where it is said that as many as twenty thousand were sold on a good day. The narrow alleyways called 'tures' leading from the Square to the perimeter of the town were constructed for the better control of animals. The Market Cross was erected as a symbolic reminder to the traders of medieval times to deal honestly and fairly. Although restored and repaired several times, a cross has stood here since the 15th century. After the local gasworks opened, there was a gas lantern at the top. The top of the cross was last restored in May 1994 after an alcohol-happy young man climbed up and fell bringing it down with him. The four sides of the lantern head represent "A Rood", "St Edward", "The Wool Trade", and "The Civil War".

Pornography is not just a sexual addiction.. it's an addiction of the mind. It starts out small and grows bigger & bigger, feeding on the need for power and control. It distorts views of women/men and causes conflict and division in relationships.
If you are struggling with this & looking for a way out, you MUST watch this new episode of Coffee & Christ, featuring Steven Sawyer- "Life Exposed To & Hooked on Pornography". Listen to his story about how he got sucked into it… and how he was pulled out of it. You don't want to miss it!!!

But The Animator...
I recently read an article about working on an animated feature film solo dolo. The point in turn is that while it took the artist 4 years to produce the film he wanted… He got the film he wanted. Sounds like an incredible feat for an individual, but it's not really an isolated incident now is it?
Right off the bat I can name a few people who produce their own animated films. Bill Plympton, Don Hertzfeldt, Richard Williams, Signe Baumen, and Nick Cross. I'm not discrediting the young hero. Not in the slightest bit. In fact, he should be celebrated. Furthermore, he raises a question… Do we really need the "studio system" at all?
It's a topic I've been curious about the further along in my journey as a studio owner… When looking to produce any type of animated work, is it absolutely necessary to have more than one hand involved? In the article he states the an issue that plagues every studio - EVERY. STUDIO! - which is ensuring the next person in the assembly line stays the course. In a way it's a bit ridiculous the more you think about it. As artists, we're revered for having our own unique voice and approach to the work. Some artists are more reserved and others more flamboyant. Some are more subtle, while others are very exaggerated. Some have a better sense of timing, some have a better sense of lighting and composition. Some are more detailed, and some are more careless. And so the studio who has corralled all of these unique artistic cats is putting them through the wringer to draw and paint and animate with uniformity.
As an animation director, it doesn't matter whether it's a team of 6 or a team of 60, it is a daily battle of writing notes, red lining frames and trying to get everyone on the same page. If the schedule is relaxed, the team can come out in 3rd place… maybe. If the schedule is too tight, the team doesn't place at all and the work simply is below the ability of the crew. And everyone knows this.
The reason why programs such as Animate (aka Flash) and Harmony exist is to minimize the problem of consistency. But it cannot solve the problem for consistency of performance. The art department of many of the big league studios are, for the most part, small compared to the animation department, which is why most environments and props will tend to stay in the same sphere of consistency. So, the artist is safe for the most part. Their skill sets will have a good chance of improving as the project progresses.
But the animator…
There is a reason why animators now a days come a dime a dozen. Nine out of ten animators aren't capable of drawing and fewer are capable of acting. And rather than animators becoming more artistic, they become more like technicians. Disney's method of having the best animator handle a couple of characters - and then have assistants to help fill in the gaps - made sense. The leads animators were the lead actors of the production, and the assistants could be seen as makeup artists, wardrobe roadies and go-fors. Now the lead animator is just a person who writes notes and manages the team. How times have changed…
In a way technology has helped boost the production of animated content like an off-shore shoe factory. But in the chase for pennies, the power and purpose behind the art has diminished a bit. With the demand of content and the constant production of the work; our digital culture has come to devalue the labor of love that is animation. Even the artist and the animator have found a way to disregard the craft as simply a means to an end.
Yet, when you seen or read or hear of a single, solitary person working away on a grandiose project like a monk in a monastery; we're completely in awe of the concept. The idea of actual hard work is so foreign to us now, we wouldn't know where to start.
In a talk at Richard Williams gave at BFI, he mentioned how he had started his career alone, went through the large studio system and came back full circle to him producing his own animated films alone again (8:38 marker). "Happily alone," as Richard would say.
Just to give a little context, Richard Williams sent almost 30 years working on "The Thief & The Cobbler," and his latest short film "Prologue" has taken him nearly 15 years to produce. And it's a short film which is absolutely beautiful.
But… Maybe working alone, or with very little assistance is the way animation is suppose to be done!
To skip the middlemen and get right to the source. To go from concept to completion all within a single hand. Animation as art…
At least to me, the idea doesn't sound abstract at all.

Do you feel really distracted while at work? Many of us wish we had a calm, quiet, organized place to work. We also wish our mind was tranquil, unburdened, and free of mental clutter. If we had these things, it would be much easier to achieve our productivity goals while entering into the zone.
Added productivity can create better opportunities. By getting in the zone, you'll accomplish more, impress the higher-ups at your company, and find yourself eligible for bigger and better promotion opportunities.
To learn how to get in the zone, please use the following suggestions to eliminate distractions and create greater levels of focus while at work.
Keep Practicing Getting into the Zone until It Becomes a Habit
We get better at life skills when we continue to practice them on a regular basis. You'll find it difficult to regularly get into the zone if you do not work on it on a daily basis. Habits are formed through repetition and consistent practice. So work on getting into the zone every day until it becomes a normal part of your daily life.
As an example, let's think back to when you were a little kid. Your parents would force you to brush your teeth every night, right? Eventually, somewhere along the way, your parents stopped asking you to brush your teeth because it became a habit and you did it on your own.
You need to approach getting into the zone the same way you learned how to brush your teeth every night. Get an accountability partner at work to remind you to focus, eliminate distractions, and concentrate on your work. Make this person bug you just like your parents did when you are a little kid! Before long, distractions will become a thing of the past and you'll easily slip into a mental state granting you complete focus on the task at hand.
Keep Your Stress Levels in Check so You Can Regularly Get in the Zone
When we feel massive amounts of stress, it becomes nearly impossible to enter the zone. You can work on eliminating distractions until the cows come home, but too much stress will hold you back from achieving complete focus.
If you feel so stressed it seems nearly impossible to enter the zone and get focused at work, it might be time to consider taking a vacation. It's time to get away from your job for a little while, temporarily regroup, and work on getting your focus back on track once you return.
If you lack the funds to afford a worthwhile vacation, you should set up a crowdfunding campaign on Plumfund.com. By doing so, you can ask family members, friends, coworkers, and billions of people online to donate money to your worthy cause. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to support people in need.
After you've raised enough money, visit your favorite vacation destination websites – i.e. www.roadtohanatour.com – to consider your options. If you prefer a tropical getaway, visit Hawaii, the Caribbean, or anywhere else that tickles your fancy. Or, if you have something else in mind, go that route. Just make sure to take some time off to destress and reclaim your mental focus.
Practice Makes Perfect
Practicing getting in the zone is an absolute must if you intend to make this a regular part of your life. So make it a top priority, add it to your calendar and to-do list, and work on this developing this skill each and every day.
Please use these suggestions shared today to eliminate distractions and get in the zone.

The Reunion3:35 PM
(from left to right. Bella, Taylor, Lana, and Me, but you can call us the Fantastic Four!)
These are some of the most sweet, serving, God-loving, girls I know; and this is the story of my weekend with them.
I was supposed to be at the camp for 7:00 o'clock on Friday, but after a migraine filled morning and my mom having to pick my dad up from carpooling with his friend to work (dad's car is in the shop) I got there a little late.
As we drove up the camp driveway I started to feel it happen...the thing that always happens at camp...feeling a since of belonging and a closeness to God. As my dad pulled up by the cafeteria I could fill the excitement building up more and more. I was so anxious to see all the people that I haven't seen in a almost a year.
I stepped out of the van and tried to figure out what building I was supposed to be dropping my suitcase at. I walked into the office and the feeling that started at the driveway got bigger and I started to smile BIG. I asked Mrs. Debi (the best boss ever) where I was supposed to drop of my suitcase. She told me that I could leave it in the staff lounge. I was now so anxious to see everyone again that I wished that I could use the force to move all my things!
I ran to the van (still parked by the cafeteria) and was telling my parents to drive around to the office and drop my things off. In the middle of telling my parents this I heard a familiar voice, I turned around and it was Taylor! We both of course (for lack of better words) went crazy. We were hugging and screaming, it was awesome! I finished telling my dad where to go and then Taylor and I headed back to the office holding hands :). In the middle of walking back to the office we ran into all the other C.I.T.s, so again we all went crazy, hugging, screaming and laughing. They all walked to the cafeteria and I ran to the office to put my suitcase up.
After that I jogged to the cafeteria smiling all the way. I was surprised to see how many people there were (there were two camps going on that I had no prior knowledge of). I went to get in line for supper when I noticed June and Ruben where there, so of course I had to say hey and give both of them a kiss on the forehead :). I got my plate and sat down at the round table that is supposed to fit about six, since we all wanted to be together we were fitting about twelve! Since there were so many people at one table we had at least three conversations going at one time. We were all catching up and talking about fun things that happened last summer.
When we were finished eating we went to the staff lounge to play "get to know you games" even though most of us knew each other We played catchphrase for about and hour and a half! Then we loaded up our things in Lana's car and drove to Sleepy Hollow (cabin number three).
(excuse the "out-of-focusness" of some of these, Olivia took them.)
We got to Sleepy Hollow, went to "side one" of the cabin and unpacked our things, changed into our pajamas, and talked about all the things that have happened to us since last summer. After about an hour or two of that some of us wanted to go to "sleep" so all of us that were still talking went to the day room (the room that connects the two sides of the cabin together) with blankets and pillows in hand we talked till 12:30 in the morning!
We talked about everything from how we feel individuality about dating, how it's hard sometimes to know the details of what God wants you to do with your life, to what you should do when you get in a wreck, to what we can do to help the human trafficking awareness movement in our state. I loved being able to talk about these types of things with people that love the Lord, and feel as strongly as I do about these topics.
Saturday morning we woke up, got dressed, and drove to the cafeteria for breakfast. We sat down at our over-seated table holding hands and sung our blessing. "Oh the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need, the sun, and the rain, and the apple seed." After two cups of coffee, orange juice, biscuits, sausage, and grits we were told to go to the staff lounge. There we were told what our day was going to look like. Then we were dismissed to have our own private time with God.
After I found a quiet place I started reading in 1 Peter. In the middle of my devotion I heard someone in their motel room playing the guitar. It was so amazing to have "background music" for my time with God! I then pulled my camera from it's bag in the office and walked around the campus taking pictures.
We all met back up at nine o'clock and had a time to share what the Lord had laid on our hearts during devotion time. Mrs Debi and Mr. Eugene then shared about what they would like our focus to be this coming summer.
After that the maintenance guys (Seth, Scott, and Blake) and the wranglers (Olivia and I) went with Mr. Steve (the other best boss ever) to have our interview. The guys had had their interviews the day before so they were dismissed to do whatever. Then we (Mr. Steve, Scott, Olivia, and I) piled on the golf cart and rode to the barn.
There we had our interview in Mr. Steve's "office" which is a tack room with five-gallon buckets turned upside down for chairs. He handed us each a paper of guidelines and things that our expected of a wrangler. We briefly went over the paper and then talked about what weeks we were available to work this summer. At the end of the interview he told us to take the guidelines home and read them thoroughly and let our parents read them, pray and have our parents pray all week. Then at the end of the week call him and tell him if we think God is leading us to work there or not.
After our interview we caught, brushed, and saddled our horses and went on a trail ride. When our ride was through we went to the arena and practiced not bouncing so much when trotting and loping.
Then it was lunch time! After "filling up" we went back to the barn and caught and saddled some more horses for the staffers that wanted to go on a trail ride. After our second trail ride of the day we unsaddled all but Honey and Snooper and let them out in the holding pen. I then drove Olivia and I in the golf cart down to Sleepy Hollow and packed up our things and then headed back to the office.
We walked in on a Mrs. Debi talking about all the C.I.T.'s interviews and what was the next step in the process of becoming staff. When the serious talk was over everyone started loading up their cars and getting ready to leave. After pictures were taken, hugs were given, and numbers were exchanged they all drove home.
(I can't wait to spend my summer with these crazy nuts!)
Olivia and I went back to the barn, rode to the arena, and practiced our trotting and loping some more. Then we rode back to the barn unsaddled our trusty steads and let all the horses out in the pasture.
Olivia then called her dad and he came to pick us up and drove us home. When it was time for bed Saturday night I pulled my pillow and blanket out of my suitcase...they smelled like the cabin! Needless to say I slept very well!
This was my weekend. It was amazing!

Crown Court upholds decision by Rossendale Borough Council
Published on September 22, 2017 at 2:32 pm
Preston Crown Court has backed a decision by Rossendale Borough Council to revoke a taxi driver's licence.
The court agreed on Thursday (September 21) that Sarfaraz Ahmad Bibi, 40, of Timperley Road, Ashton under Lyne, should no longer be able to operate as a hackney carriage driver.
The Council took the decision to revoke Bibi's licence after he was convicted in December last year of picking up a passenger in Stockport without being pre-booked, and for not having the correct insurance.

Info concerning The University of Buenos Aires dining plans, and registering for elective seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? You can enter nursing with either an associates degree or BSN. As a licensed vocational nurse (LVN), you may provide patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). Concentrating on The University of Buenos Aires dining plans, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the nutrition department for course registration deadlines, and dieting program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for The University of Buenos Aires.
The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider Appalachian State University nursing school as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

In pursuit of this ultimate dream we often forget to live. So involved are we in reaching the goal that we forget there's a life to be lived in the now. So engrossed are we in running towards the finish line, we forget that this isn't a race track but a garden where one needs to remove their shoes, walk barefoot on the dewy grass, take in the fresh air, appreciate the blooming buds, be fascinated by the occasional butterfly that flutters by, see nature for the miracle that it is.
The finish line isn't really where you think it is. when we are young our finish line is being adults. When we are adults our finish line extends itself to a job..career..owning a house.. having a family.. a money-bank by retirement… and when we retire we end up thinking of a thousand things which we could do if only we were younger. You end up running past your own life.
Learn to live everyday. Learn to slow down. Your main priority is happiness? – Well look at a child smiling or a bird in flight.. the sunrise.. take a walk on the beach … love yourself enough to give yourself time and energy… spend time with family.. friends… give to the needy – all these things bring you happiness beyond measure…
You can get a job again, a deadline can be extended, a phone can be replaced, you can fall in love again, you can always catch the next bus/train/flight.. but Life – it comes to you only once.
So Relax and enjoy life. You'll never live this day again.

I had a friend ask me if anxiety could kill him. He's new to abnormal anxiety so he wanted to know what to expect. I thought about giving him some kind of "how to" tip but something told me that a story would be better. After I told him the story he seemed to understand the nature of anxiety and how he could deal with it.
Today I want to share that story with you. I got so excited about telling you this story that I decided to produce a podcast instead of writing about it. I think it explains a pretty powerful idea about anxiety that I hope will help you see things differently. Take 10 minutes to listen to it and tell me what you think in the comments section below.
