The Audi Concerts.
Pietari Inkinen - conductor
Saleem Abboud Ashkar - piano
Anna Leese - soprano
Lilburn - Processional Fanfare
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5 Emperor
Mahler - Symphony No. 4
Experience GLORY with the NZSO
Join with us in celebrating the 2011 return of our Music Director Pietari Inkinen in this program of rich musical delights. In his Fourth Symphony, Mahler turned away from the massive architecture of his other symphonies to create a magical evocation of the spirit of childhood, ending with a heartfelt hymn to sacred innocence.
With the richly-glowing voice of New Zealand soprano Anna Leese, returning from an astonishing succession of international triumphs, Mahler's vision of heaven will beam its radiance in unforgettable splendour. Saleem Abboud Ashkar has become in a short time one of the most sought-after pianists among the world's leading conductors - the likes of Barenboim, Muti and Chailly - for his combination of technical mastery and poetic insight. His appearances in New Zealand are a coup in which we take great pride, featuring this exciting artist in one of the great concertos of all time, Beethoven's mighty Emperor.
The concert opens with a stirring fanfare by the great New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn, master of modern musical romanticism.

Tiger Asia, a spinoff of Tiger Management, the hedge fund founded by Julian Robertson, told investors in a letter that the fund would be returning their money in the coming weeks as a result of a "prolonged legal situation."
That situation is a three-year insider trading investigation by the Hong Kong authorities into allegations of trading improprieties at the hedge fund, which was founded by Bill Hwang. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also been investigating the fund.
"As you are aware, the firm has been the subject of government investigations of alleged trading based upon confidential information and engaging in certain manipulative trades in late 2008/early 2009 in Asian markets," Mr. Hwang wrote in his letter to investors. "We continue to work to resolve these matters in the U.S. and overseas and look forward to putting them behind us."
Mr. Hwang is the latest investor to throw in the towel as a hedge fund manager because of a government investigation. His fund has dwindled to about $1.2 billion from about $3 billion in 2010. Though he has not been formally charged with any wrongdoing in the United States, Mr. Hwang has decided to no longer manage outside capital.
He is not the first hedge fund manager to make that decision. David Ganek decided to shutter Level Global Investors, which was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in late 2010. Mr. Ganek said at the time that with the government scrutiny, he did not feel he could comfortably make investment decisions for the long term. Later, Mr. Ganek's co-founder, Anthony Chiasson, was charged with insider trading.
Mr. Hwang held on to his operation for several years, despite the allegations made by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. Regulators there have accused Mr. Hwang of obtaining inside information during 2008 and 2009 about placements of shares in the China Construction Bank Corporation and Bank of China, tips that regulators say earned him $5 million.
The regulator sought to bar Tiger Asia from trading on Hong Kong exchanges altogether, the first time it had ever tried to exclude an entity from trading on its exchanges. That litigation is still pending.
The investigation spread to the S.E.C., which subpoenaed the fund in 2010. While Mr. Hwang has denied the allegations, those claims did little to quell investors or end the investigation.
Mr. Hwang founded Tiger Asia, which is based in New York, in 2001 after working for Mr. Robertson at Tiger Management. He focused his trading on Asia, and like his mentor typically bought and sold stocks.
"I am saddened by the news but certainly understand Bill's decision," said Mr. Robertson in a statement. "I have worked side-by-side with Bill for 20 years. I have enormous respect for him as an individual and an investor. He has always been a great partner, a great person and a great friend. I continue to hold him in the highest regard."
Since its inception, the firm has returned about 16 percent a year for its investors, handily beating the indexes during the same period. In the letter, Mr. Hwang said Tiger Asia would continue as a family office with most employees remaining at the firm.
"It is my hope that someday I will again have the privilege to manage your capital," he wrote in the letter.

I was almost home from work last Wednesday when I felt a huge shake and heard a loud pop. I still don't quite know what I did, but I pulled over to the side of the road to find I was leaking something. So I started calling for a tow truck and then started calling friends.
The short version of the outcome is that I have a hole in my transmission and my car has been in the shop since then getting fixed. Last I'd heard, they hoped to have it for me by Saturday.
Meanwhile, I'm thankful to be using Spencer's car to get me to and from work. It would be a double bummer to not have any income coming in while I have this huge expense going out.
I did consider trying to replace my car, but since I'm still working a temp job, I didn't feel right about taking on a monthly expense. Hopefully with the rebuilt transmission they are putting in, I can make my car last another year or two, which was my original goal.

Unhinged Hollywood Actor Launches Sick Attack on Melania Trump Calls Her a "Dumb FKC!!!" and "Dumb Animal" After She Posts Calming Tweet Concerning Coronavirus Crisis
Opinion| On Thursday First Lady Melania Trump posted a video of herself addressing the nation to her Twitter account.
The statement she read was not controversial in the least. You can read the text below:
'Today I want to speak to you about Coronavirus and what it means for you and your family.
What changes need to be made now, this is not how we will live forever.
Our children will return to school, people will return to work.
We will gather at places of worship, concerts, and sporting events again.
I urge you to stay connected to family and loved ones through video chats, phone calls, social media, and other safe technologies.
Please be sure to follow CDEC guidelines, which can be found at Coronavirus.gov or CDC.gov, along with other information and resources.
Stay safe, and remember: while many of us are apart, we are all in this together. '
Here is the Tweet:
— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) March 19, 2020
For some reason this triggered the washed up actor, Michael Rapaport and he lashed in epic fashion.
Michael, has appeared in 60 films or so according to IMDB, which is funny because I don't recall seeing him in any of them.
What I know Mr. Rapaport from his the vulgar sexual slurs that he threw at the Covington Catholic School boys following their confrontation with a tribal drummer:
Here is the full, uncut video which the media refused to show you:
Here is Rapaport's 'hot take' … which is still live on Twitter btw:

Classy guy, no?
His attack on the First Lady was not much better:
"Look at this DUMB FKC!!! She thinks this is SEXXXY TIME? Dumb FKC! You dumb animal @FLOTUS"
Apparently being the loudest ****** on Twitter gets you some attention, something Micheal seems to miss these days.
How about this lovely rant … which has garnered a whopping 209 likes … in the last 2.5 years or so (WARNING LANGUAGE):
Deviant Donald Trump!!!@iamrapaport https://t.co/u7KYvoybBY pic.twitter.com/p9givArgnK

I challenge you to go to a Trump rally and then attend a Democrat protest and compare the nature of the messages and demeanor of the people, how positive vs negative each side is. Then compare the protest area once they leave, see which group left the ground in better condition.
I think it will soon become apparent who the 'tolerant' and 'loving' ones are …

I felt rejuvenated from today's run and felt the urged to post about it.
I've been having so much struggle with my training for the last couple of weeks but today's run made me feel a bit victorious, to say the least. I do encourage you all to remember your fellow runners during this time of training. The HEAT is extremely vicious this year and training has been more and more challenging. Check on your running friends and make sure they are hydrating and are high in spirits!
I learned a lot this week. I was disheartened to tell you the truth. I wanted to quit or told myself that this is the last time I'm ever going to put myself through Marathon training. I wanted to cry. I wanted to give up. I wanted to tell the world "I can't do this anymore." Thankfully, the next day wasn't so bad and then this one today was pretty nice too. I can be a bit dramatic about things from time to time.
So for those who are low in spirit; don't give up just yet! Take some rest days, have adequate sleep and start over. The days will get brighter!
Have a nice day everyone!

Try growing wheat grass or cat grass in the area of the plants your cat wants to eat. You can also put something on top of the soil around the plants that has an offensive smell to cats, such as mothballs or citrus peel.
Research botanical insecticides which can be purchased locally to aid in ridding your garden of pests. Natural insecticides can sometimes kill pests more powerful than ones that have chemicals in them. However, because botanical insecticides are biological, which makes them disappear more quickly.
Think carefully about any product you can use in your garden. Try natural alternatives to the chemicals you normally use. A great example to use compost.

For an unusual, but effective, organic solution to weeding young plants, try "boiling" the weeds away. Water is cheaper than chemical herbicides, and less hazardous to humans and soil. Douse boiling water on the weeds and avoid nearby plants carefully. The extreme heat of the water will cause damage to the weeds' roots, which will stop them from growing any more.
Snails can be sprayed away with an ammonia and water. The ammonia won't hurt your plants, and it will later convert to useful nitrogen. It will kill off the snails and keep them from hurting your flowers. Use the mixture every day for best results.
Organic horticulture is a great way to improve your diet naturally. It is a good source of fresh vegetables and fruits and can improve your health markedly. An organic garden is a ton of work to make successful but well worth the effort.

Muslims get 27b to build health centres
Although Uganda is attracting a lot of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), it loses $400 million (about Shs1.05 trillion) er year in capital outflows in form of dividend payments to the shareholders, the Ministry of Finance has revealed.Owing to economic liberalisation, there are many multinational companies operating in Uganda in the energy, agriculture, oil, and manufacturing, among others.
Speaking at the launch of African Development Bank Economic Outlook for Africa 2014 in Kampala on Wednesday, the acting commissioner macroeconomic ministry of Finance, Mr Robert Okudi, said Uganda witnesses capital inflows as well as out inflows."There is an annual out flow of $400 million in dividend payments to shareholders of companies operating in Uganda," he said.
Discussing how the revenue required for investment in Uganda can be generated, he said: "We have the opportunity in the capital markets vibrant capital markets will enhance revenue mobilisation and domestic savings in this country."
Although Uganda's financial sector is one of the fastest growing and most profitable sectors of the economy, it is not deep enough to support big public and private investments, according to Mr Okudi. He said Uganda needs financial deepening because commercial bank financing alone is not sufficient enough to provide all the funds needed in the country for investment.
"The largest commercial bank in Uganda cannot lend more than $50 million," he said.
From the macroeconomic perspectives, the deputy Governor Bank of Uganda, Dr Louis Kasekende, said there is need for African countries to rebuild the fiscal space (financial reserves) to guard against any exogenous economic shocks.
"We are likely to get another crisis I don't know when," he said.
Dr Kasekende said while markets are doing well, there is need for government to build strong institutions to drive growth. With FDI showing signs of increasing, Dr Kasekende said there is need of converting resources arising from FDI and Official Development Assistance into public and private capital investment.

Izabela discovered yoga at 13 when she found herself in possession of an introductory yoga book and unknowingly found herself doing salutes to the sun. Already an avid meditator and Buddhist, it made sense. She kept the practice up at irregular intervals and in Australia got hooked on the heat and intensity of Bikram Yoga. It wasn't until Izabela became a mum that she started to appreciate the philosophy, steadiness and strength of Hatha Yoga.
Izabela's yoga training was at Prana Space in Rose Bay where she acquired skills in Yoga Therapy, Prenatal, Postnatal and Kids Yoga. Her qualifications include: Hatha Yoga (Prana Space 2013), Prenatal and Postnatal (Ana Davis Baby Bliss 2014), Graduate Certificate in Yoga Therapy (Elightened Events, 2016), Kids Yoga Teacher (Prana Space 2015), Pilates (2017).
"Being so unhappy and searching for such a long time, yoga is my home – my yoke. The meditative aspect of yoga strips down the illusion of life, brings out the truth and can definitely help one get to that holy grail of happiness. And no mater how turbulent my personal life is or how busy my head is, the moment I step on the mat I feel like only my breath matters. I come out 'clean' at the end of the practice."

Helsinki, Finland
INTERNATIONAL reputations and travels aside, artists typically rely on the solitude of a private studio to cultivate and execute their creative efforts. For the Finnish visual artist and filmmaker Eija-Liisa Ahtila, this is a fifth-floor loft studio in the old Kaapeli cable factory, overlooking an inlet of this watery city. Guarding the door behind a low wire barrier is her Catalonian shepherd, Harrison, recognizable as the same shaggy and endearing breed as Luca, an earlier pet whose death is featured in Ms. Ahtila's 2005 installation film "The Hour of Prayer."
That four-screen dramatic film is the only work among her "human dramas," as she calls them, that is autobiographical. It was shown this year at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff, where in March Ms. Ahtila won the Artes Mundi international prize (about $74,000) for contemporary art with a human context. In April, her film "Ground Control," about extraterrestrial contact, was viewed by 400,000 people a day on four billboard-size screens installed in busy sections of Tokyo.
This week Ms. Ahtila is coming to New York for Wednesday's opening of her 14-minute film installation "The Wind" at the Museum of Modern Art. It will be accompanied by showings of her related feature-length film, "Love Is a Treasure."
Sitting in her pristine studio here, which adjoins Crystal Eye, the film production company of her husband, Ilppo Pohjola, Ms. Ahtila described her medium as "moving images of stories that have already happened."
She is primarily a fiction writer who draws on the world of human psychosis, mainly female, to transform individual case studies of mental illness into an imaginary dream world. By breaking the logical sequence of the narration, she introduces a Cubist interpretation of events that emphasizes perception over causality.
A no-nonsense woman of 47, dressed casually in jeans, a brown sweater and black running shoes, Ms. Ahtila is surrounded in her studio by warehouse shelving with neat upright file boxes and the kind of Finnish modern design elements — bright orange and red couches, a sleek water pitcher and glasses — that make visits to Helsinki so visually satisfying. Between films, she concentrates on serial photography; her current subject is women and Christian iconography. A Fra Angelico poster hanging on her studio wall states: "And every woman will be a walking synthesis of the universe."
Ms. Ahtila views her film work more as theater than cinema, a new art that sets a stylized stage for fiction. Working in close collaboration with her cast, she often finds that an actor's interpretation will improve her original concept of a character. During full production, script pages are pinned to the studio wall and she depends on a crew — cinematographer, set and prop designers, lighting and sound specialists, wardrobe and makeup people — for the technical and visual quality of her films.
But when she visited New York in January 2005, it was without a script or film crew, and the city was engulfed in a major snowstorm. She filmed the streets at night herself from her hotel window in Chelsea and around Madison Square Park, capturing the same enticing luminosity as that of a winter night in Helsinki. Thus began a chain of events — "a string of pearls," she calls it — that became "The Hour of Prayer." The film tells the story of Luca's death from bone cancer, but is really about the stillness and emptiness of grief and the loss of what Ms. Ahtila calls "sensory surroundings."
From those early scenes of New York, the film cuts to the winter landscape of her country cottage on a Finnish lake. It is evident when one views this landscape of icy waters against dense forests, shot as a still life and given greater depth by the zigzag configuration of rectangular screens, that her art belongs as much to the tradition of Finnish landscape painting from the early 20th century as to the world of film. (She began her art studies in Helsinki, rebelling against the prevailing abstract tradition, before studying film in London and Los Angeles.)
"Watching the darkness and cold energy of water, especially under the stars on an autumn night, has taught me how to understand space and the element of time," she said, "and from this space come the words." For her, landscape precedes the narrative. Most of her films are in Finnish with English subtitles, though "The Hour of Prayer" is spoken in English by a Finnish actor.
Though her gallery installations are close to the feature-length film versions she makes, their multiple screens provide more visual material from different perspectives. Ms. Ahtila's specifications include directions for designing the galleries in which the installations are shown. For her film "The House," which was also shown in Cardiff, the screens were framed in red, blue and green, and the gallery incorporated loose plywood boards set against the walls — tokens of both physical and mental deconstruction.
In "The House," the character Elisa drives to her country house, in a lush woodland setting, and first describes realistically her surroundings and imaginatively appointed rooms. Then everything falls apart.
"I think the living room or my house is breaking down," she says, alarmed by hearing her car (shown in miniature) driving across the living room wall. "I can't keep things out anymore, can't preserve its own space." As disassociated noises impinge on the interior, she finds herself floating among the treetops. After she blocks out the windows with black curtains, a cacophony of urban sounds overtakes her psyche, along with an image of a passenger ship disembarking refugees, symbolic of displacement.
For those who recall watching Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" with anxiety as two women played out their psychological struggle at a seaside house, Ms. Ahtila's films, though unsettling in subject matter, have the opposite effect. By drawing viewers into the spatial region of the film, they evoke empathy and even intimacy.
"As a visual artist, Ahtila best captures in these films the slippery intersection between fantasy and reality," said Laurence Kardish, senior curator of film and media at the Museum of Modern Art. He selected "The Wind" for the MoMA show, he said, for its cinematic appeal and because it was the one that spoke to him most directly.
In addition to "The Wind," the museum will show Ms. Ahtila's recent feature film "Love Is a Treasure," which it acquired for its permanent collection. It is a composite of five stories about women, featuring "Ground Control," "The Wind" and "The House." Throughout the film, local scenes of contemporary Finnish architecture, port activity and aerial highway views figure prominently.
For the installation of "The Wind," the Modern is painting the gallery Ms. Ahtila's specified lipstick red (Pantone 186C), which offsets the film's bluish palette and fierce red accents. In a chaotic interior further disarranged by a turbulent wind, the dysfunctional Susanna, a somewhat overweight, inveterate hand-biter, recites her woes, insecurities and disappointments: "I never thought I would end up seeing a psychiatrist. I thought rather that I would become a psychiatrist myself."
Susanna finds threatening the three real or imagined lithe girls who enter her space, which she systematically destroys through escalating self-destructive acts. The action takes place under the watchful eye of a blowfish that Ms. Ahtila and her set designer discovered in a Thai restaurant in Helsiniki.
Still, when Susanna overturns a bookcase, spilling its contents, the viewer may share a moment of satisfaction. And who will not identify with her piles of unread newspapers, which a male friend comes over to iron "so the black won't rub off on my fingers"?
In another scene, Susanna opens and lines up all her (phallic) lipsticks and crushes them with a board. There are bits on politics, social issues, education and much else besides, all in an action-packed 14 minutes.
Summing up Ms. Ahtila's achievement in portraying this debilitating aspect of the human condition, Mr. Kardish said, "She translates that moment when the mind, under severe emotional stress, liberates itself from actuality."

Coincidence is God's Secret Language
The first AA meeting i ever chaired went well but…
one of the responsibilities of the secretary is to choose the speaker for the meeting. The first guy i asked claimed he'd spoken the day before, but the second guy i asked was really gung-ho about the chance. Maybe too much…
Remember how i was all about how to get in touch with your Higher Power even if you're an agnostic, and how people in Yeaman are less into the Christian God than many AA groups in the States, and especially how the best way for me to avoid panic attacks and stay sober is to give things up to my Higher Power? Well, my God has one hell of a sense of humor.
The speaker i chose turned out to be a pastor. Coincidence after all my recent posts? Coincidence is the secret language God uses to talk to you. In his share, my guy confessed to being a preacher and started talking about how God saved him from alcoholism, blissfully unaware of the scepticism Yeamen feel about this kind of proselytizing. i was in shock.
Until i understood that this was a pop quiz. Sure, i was good at talking about giving things up, but could i really do it? Could i practice what i preached? Could i give God the stress i felt over choosing a speaker who chose to speak about God? Seems like God is not without a certain sense of irony.
i sat back and relaxed as the preacher rambled on. After he was through, many people shared that they appreciated his point of view, while others expressed their own religious views (one of our regulars is a staunch Buddhist), but i didn't take it personally.
It wasn't my problem—it was God's. Literally, this time.
10 Ways for an Agnostic to Find God
One of the main tenets of recovery is that the addict is not able to control their own drinking (or gambling, or binging/purging, or drugging, or sex addiction…), otherwise they would control it and there would be no addiction problem. Because we addicts are not able to control this aspect of our lives, we have to give control of that area to someone / thing who can; this entity is often referred to as a Higher Power, or a "power greater than ourselves".
But what about those people who cannot find their Higher Power?
What follows are my suggestions for those who are struggling with the concept of a Higher Power.
10 Ways for an Agnostic to Find God
- Stop looking
- Listen to the silence
- Create something from nothing
- Write a mental list of at least 3 people you love, and why you love them
- Do a totally anonymous act of kindness
- Decide what you want most, then think about it until your heart hurts
- Hold hands with someone (two people works best, one on each side)
- Talk to someone with less experience than you
- Apologize out loud to someone you love
- Do something that makes you deliciously happy
When you have done all of these ten things, put a face on how you feel (note: it doesn't have to be a person's face).
The next time you need God, think of that face.
When you can't see that face anymore, go back to step 1.

Given that I couldn't blog while in China the details may be a bit thin here because I can't remember what I did a fortnight ago.
When I arrived in Shanghai I was given the option of train or Maglev. Since I thought the Maglev sounded expensive (and possibly like it would take me to Mars) I took the train. It took 3 hours to make it to my homestay on the other side of town, changing about 17 times.
The next day I took a short 1 hour trip in to town with ONE HUNDRED MILLION other people. I had just sat down in the park when a group of people approached and started making conversation. This is not unusual when travelling. They took me to a tea house.
However at the end of the demonstration I was presented with a bill for Y450. Hmm. I went to the museum and looked at some Ming vases.
I worked out that I'd lost $80 at the tea house, so I had a cry then formulated a half-plan to get my money back. I searched the park, knowing it was unlikely I'd find the group that took me to the teahouse, and not knowing what I'd do if I found them. So it was on to Plan B – find the teahouse. It was down several streets, and after walking for what seemed like the time it took me to get there the first time I started to wonder if I'd lost it. But at that point I looked around and I was nearly in front of it. I couldn't see the owner, but did see that the lock on the door to the demonstration room was unusually secure. What to do?
As soon as I'd taken this the woman came running out from a door somewhere to my left. I had no plan.
"Give me my money back!" I blurted.
"Come inside, sit down, let's discuss this."
"I will not sit down! I want my money!"
"At least let me keep half!"
"No! I want my money back!"
"But I'm poor!"
"So am I! I'll go to the police!"
"Ok, at least let me have the service charge" (Y30)
A deal was struck, and I recovered most of my cash. A damn close run thing!
After that I decided I deserved a treat and went to THE BAKERY.
I had a bun. Mae West was right! From there I went window shopping, which is very easy in Shanghai.
After avoiding spending my money I had walked to the Bund – Shanghai's riverside formerly controlled by foreign powers.
Across the water is the new Shanghai.
It's quite over the top, and huge. Shanghai is very sanitised but does have some back street scene.
I returned to my homestay, in the distant suburbs.
The next day I went to the French Concession. The whole area is very art deco. Walking from the subway I came across a park filled with oldies. One woman had set up a huge outdoor speaker. Some women danced. A man painted calligraphy on the pavers with water.
The area is very pretty, and VERY posh. I couldn't even pronounce the prices.
I tried to find the propaganda poster museum. Lonely Planet lies again! Sun Yat Sen's house charged an entry fee, but I did find this:
Not much to see from the outside, but inside is a good museum.
It's not too biassed, but does have a lot of letters etc. on display that aren't translated. After going through there, admiring the waxworks of Mao and co. being communist, I wandered about.
Then I found another museum.
Here you can see the actual living room where Mao talked politics with visitors! Upstairs they have exhibits on what Mao did in Shanghai, and a bit about his son, who dies in the Korean War. There are some illuminating artefacts.
And finally – the greatest exhibit from any museum ever.
Are you ready?
Here it is:
Mao's undies. How much more does it show us of Mao, the man? Priceless.

Maine Program Distributes Drug Arrest Records to Doctors and Pharmacists
April 22nd, 2015/
A program in Maine is helping to combat prescription drug abuse by providing a monthly list of people arrested or summoned for prescription or illegal drug-related crimes to doctors and pharmacists.
The program, Diversion Alert, is helping doctors and pharmacists identify patients at risk of overdosing, in need of addiction treatment or engaged in illegal prescription drug distribution, says Executive Director Clare Desrosiers.
She discussed the program at the recent Rx Drug Abuse Summit in Atlanta.
In addition to alerting doctors and pharmacists about patients with possible abuse and addiction problems, Diversion Alert also provides tip sheets to help them respond to these patients.
The program was established in Aroostook County, Maine in 2009, and was expanded statewide in 2013, with a two-year grant from the state's Attorney General's office.
The grant funding will soon run out, Desrosiers said. A bill to fund the program with state money will be considered this session by the state legislature. Desrosiers has applied for several grants, and has also started raising money through a crowdfunding site,diversionalert.causevox.com/.
In addition to receiving monthly reports, subscribers to Diversion Alert also gain access to an online, searchable, password-protected drug charge database, which contains an 11-month record of substance abuse-related arrests in Maine. Booking photos are provided when available.
A pre/post study with comparison groups conducted in 2013-2014 found that prescribers who participated in Diversion Alert became more aware of the prescription drug abuse and diversion problem in their area, communicated more with health care providers about shared patients, stopped prescribing controlled substances to patients selling their prescription, and reported improved attentiveness to prescribing for all patients. Fifty-two percent of Maine health care providers participating in the post-survey evaluation reported that they found at least one patient listed on a Diversion Alert report in the past 12 months.
Diversion Alert is different from Maine's Prescription Monitoring Program, which is administered by Maine's Department of Health and Human Services. That program provides doctors and pharmacists with information about all controlled substance prescriptions dispensed to patients in Maine. It uses a separate online, password-protected database. The prescription monitoring program automatically notifies prescribers when a patient engages in behaviors that could indicate misuse, such as visiting a large number of doctors and pharmacists in a short period. It does not alert prescribers when a patient has been charged with trying to buy or sell prescription drugs.
"Ideally, doctors should be looking at both databases," Desrosiers said. "The data in the prescription monitoring database in many cases doesn't overlap with Diversion Alert data."
One 2014 study of Diversion Alert found that the majority of people arrested for trafficking prescription drugs are not "doctor shopping" or "pharmacy hopping." The study found that of 295 people listed in Diversion Alert for drug trafficking charges, 76 percent were not listed in the state's prescription drug monitoring database. "It's complementary, not duplicative," Desrosiers notes.
Currently about 24 percent of the state's actively licensed prescribers and pharmacists are registered with Diversion Alert, according to Desrosiers. "It doesn't cost much and it has very good outcomes," she said. "We found 59 percent of doctors said they used Diversion Alert to intervene with patients they find listed in Diversion Alert reports. That's what we want to happen."
Doctors who find a patient has been charged with prescription or illegal drug-related crimes are advised to stop prescribing controlled substances to that patient, and to consider referral to a detox center or medication-assisted treatment for patients coming off a high dose of opiates. Doctors are also advised to offer alternatives for pain, anxiety or ADHD treatment, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other non-opioid medications; physical therapy, chiropractic, massage and other alternative therapies; and behavioral treatment, such as medical yoga, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I've been practising street photography for roughly 6 years now. When I first started, I would walk around the streets with an old Olympus bridge camera – taking photos of anything and everything. I didn't actually learn the term "street photography" until two years after I started practising it. After watching a Matt Stuart documentary, I said to myself "oh, that's what I do" – albeit nowhere near to the same standard.

This book focuses on those policies contained in the 2014 farm bill that support agriculture-based renewable energy, especially biofuels. The introductory sections of this book briefly describe how USDA bioenergy policies evolved and how they fit into the larger context of U.S. biofuels policy. Then, each of the bioenergy provisions of the 2014 farm bill are defined in terms of their function, goals, administration, funding, and implementation status.
The book describes agriculture-based biofuels and the evolution of the U.S. biofuels sector with a focus on the role that federal policy has played in shaping its development. It highlights emerging issues that are critical to the biofuels sector and of relevance to Congress. Furthermore, this book provides a description of the Biomass Crop Assistance Program's main components—annual and establishment payments, matching payments, and project areas—as outlined in USDA's final rule, along with a discussion of program funding and implementation issues.

At times the simplest storage solutions are the simplest to overlook. In the instance of the bedroom, under-bed storage is a good idea but it is not the just one. If you desire even more storage, look at using bed raisers to bring a couple more inches underneath your bed. Storage and hard drives is another huge portion of our upgrade enterprise.
You'll drop some floor space, but you will acquire a whole lot of storage space. Hang it on the back part of your bedroom or closet door and relish all of the floor space you simply saved. Items like a portable tool caddy come in handy as it gives you the ability to place many items without sacrificing too large an amount of floor space.
Behind the door is a superb method to use wasted space. You may also double your hanging space by employing pop can tabs. You are able to create an exact organized space in a little area, and that prevents you from having projects strewn all around the home. Once more, the vertical space is completely utilised to make maximum storage within just a couple of feet of floor space. Actually, the space beneath your bed is a fantastic place to organize and safeguard your shoes and handbags. Hidden counter space is among the very best RV storage ideas you will ever head. Finding storage space for bigger platters and cutting boards can be challenging.
If you're short on space, the best method to acquire the absolute most out of your house is by cycling out clothes which are out of season. In the kitchen you might easily discover the space for a number of your favourite books. For instance, you need to locate a suitable storage space for your books.
Additionally, everything will be less difficult to put away after use as you are going to be able to instantly tell where it belongs. Some fold from the way when not being used. When stocking up, to cut back on the total amount of stuff you need to store, think of things that might have multiple uses, suggests Dr. Hubbard.
With views from all possible angles, you can see just what needs doing next. It's also important to think about your space needs and in case you will be traveling with your supplies. Since you can just see what is on top you need to root around forever. Write down whatever you have. Among the strategies to keep the organization at bay in a little kitchen is to get a rolling cart with distinctive shelves and compartments. One of the easiest ideas is to do away with extra products. At times the ideal RV storage ideas are the ones which simply add more space to put away things!
Additionally, you won't need to be concerned about rummaging around drawers to locate your favourite sweatshirt or go-to party necklace, because it will all be easily visible. You simply cleared out a complete drawer, and you're still prepared to bring the guns out once the sun's out. At this time you won't need to fumble around your kitchen drawer searching for the utensils you will need. It is possible to add as many shelves as you need to. It is possible to also use the rack as a house for your socks. A clothing rack is among the most abused items during winter because folks are usually placing each of their coats and scarves on it.
When you've got a house, you own a need to organize. The kitchen is another room in the house in which you own a lot of small items that could be rough to stay in order. Don't let a little closet prevent you from receiving the storage space you demand.

It is Sunday today,it is shiny and bright day here.Every one make plans in advance for weekend.
Usualy I also make plans before weekend.And i always asked to my kids about weekend plans.
Sometime i go with thier plan and sometime they agree with my plan.
Tonight we are going to a mall.It is very famouse and only mall in my city.
There is play zone for kids.once my kids enter in that zone they forget all things.They like to spend their whole time there.
In mall we want to buy summer clothes for kids.
Weather has been changed.It is feeling hot since last two days.So we will buy some clothes for them.
After shopping we will have dinner at mall.
My kids love pizza.They have already told me that they will eat pizza there.
Mostly people don't take kids along with them for shopping.sometimes I also do shopping alone.
But this time they have promised me that they will listen to me.
And they will not fight.
Next month in April they will have their final exams.
So they have to start their revision after four to five days.So it will be thier last weekend to enjoy outside.
Next week they will start their studies.
And they will be busy for next one month.
They are good in their studies.I can not say that they are excellent.
That's why they have to study before one month.
I am sure they will get good marks.But I never pressurised them.
We should not pressurised kids for studies.
It is make them more weak.
They have to understand importance of studies on thier own.
We should only help in their studies.
If we deal with kids with love they can understand things very fast.
We should not argue with them.Our Rude behaviour make them more irresponsible.
This is the tough time for both parents and kids to understand each other.
We make sure that they should not grow in negativity.
We should give them positive atmosphere.
Negative vibes makes them negative.
What's your plan for this weekend?

The much-awaited trailer of Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 is out but is it any good?
Well, it starts off with an inspiring dose of knowledge and, 30 seconds later, you get to see Hrithik as the mathematical genius, Anand Kumar.
While the physical transformation of the actor is quite commendable, I wasn't really convinced about his Bihari accent. It sounds very off throughout the trailer and that really bummed me out.
The trailer has some really dumdaar dialogues but, because of Roshan's weird accent, nothing really made an impact... at least on me.
Apart from Hrithik, you get a glimpse of Pankaj Tripathi in the trailer and it's fun to watch him shake a leg.
But it's disappointing that the makers didn't give him much screen time in the trailer. Let's hope that's not the case with the film.
Mrunal Thakur, who plays the female lead in Super 30, is also missing in the trailer and I wonder why.
The trailer does look exciting and promising, but in bits and pieces.
The two-and-a-half minute long video introduces us to Anand Kumar and shows his journey as a maths teacher who goes all out to help his not-so-privileged students against all odds.

CHARLOTTE, NC. If you are of a certain age, do you ever look back and wonder. How much of the language Boomers thought was "hip" and "with it" back in the day has survived to the year 2019? How many dated phrases and outdated words are completely lost today on current generations?
A typewriter? What's a typewriter?
Let's use a fairly recent 2008 movie entitled Kit Kittredge: An American Mystery. We can use it as an example of what we're discussing. In the film, we encounter a scene in which 10-year old Kit, who is passionate about writing, sits down at her typewriter. She dreams of having something she has written appear in the local newspaper.
Now, the story takes place during the Great Depression. So the typewriter Kit uses is one of the old-style hammer and chisel manual machines that were so commonplace in that era. Some of us, at least, may still remember using a similar typewriter even into the 1960s. If you want to really feel old however, watch this picture along with someone born after about 1990. Wait for the kid to ask, "What kind of machine is that?"
The familiar modern joke is, if you don't know how to use a computer, just ask any three-year old. He will set you straight. But maybe today's high tech whiz kids still need you to explain that typewriter.
Myth Trivia explores dated phrases and outdated words circa 2019
And so, with that background set up for today's Myth Trivia edition, let's explore some of the now dated phrases and outdated words once familiar to the Baby Boomer generation that have apparently passed into history. They have been lost in our ever-evolving world of contemporary English.
A sample outdated word
Let's try this for an outdated word. Tell a youngster today that you drove and old "jalopy" when you were growing up. He'll probably give you a blank stare when he hears the word "jalopy." And don't try to cover this up by using the term "rattle-trap" as a substitute. That won't work, either.
An somewhat outdated abbreviation: CC me on this
Some terms live on even though the people who use them probably have no idea what they're referring to. Such is the case with "CC." As all seasoned citizens know, that's the short form for "carbon copy." Youngsters today have never seen a sheet of carbon paper, much less know what it is. So for them, the term "CC" is just part of their vernacular. It means "make a copy," or "copy me on this."
A dated phrase from those ancient Zenith TV days
Remember when television announcers used to say, "Don't touch that dial"? That routine annoyance existed long before the remote channel "clicker" was invented. In those days, a TV network could induce you to stay connected to its local affiliate throughout an entire evening. That is, they could do it if its lineup of shows was strong enough to keep viewers from getting out of their easy chairs. To help you out, though, they liked to remind you not to bother getting up and changing the channel. Which you did by walking to the TV and literally clicking a mechanical tuner dial from channel to channel. So stay with us, they urged us. And "Don't touch that dial!"
Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle, have you checked your laundry lately?
Now we move from TV to a laundry metaphor and assorted expressions of amazement.
As for that first motif, let's look at that old expression, "Hung out to dry." That's how people around the world used to dry their washloads. They'd hang their laundry from clotheslines or the equivalent to dry in the sun and breeze. The term also came into use as a metaphor for the poor sap who ended up taking the rap for some misdeed that may have been committed by others. His pals simply "Hung him out to dry," feigning innocence.
It's still a common practice to hang laundry outside in Europe today. But in the U.S. the old clothesline has pretty much yielded to washers and dryers. Many generations still use the expression. But more recent generations have now forgotten why.
Back in the day, the closest thing to 2019's enduringly popular F-bombs were expressions such as "Holy Moley," "Great Googly-Moogly," "Leapin' Lizards," "Heavens to Betsy (or Mergatroid)," "Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!" or "Gee Whillikers!"
If you didn't use those expressions then that's because everything was just "Hunky Dory."
Even more dated phrases: Does President Trump have "Moxie"?
Speaking of dates phrases, people who were brash and outspoken had a lot of "Moxie." Believe it or not, Moxie is still a popular soft drink in New England. Many folks don't like it due to its bitter flavor and aftertaste. Since that carbonated beverage remains an acquired taste only found locally in the northeast, the expression "having a lot of Moxie" refers to someone who is bold in his mannerisms. You might also say that this individual "has a lot of nerve!"
Would anyone today have a clue if you said, "Go ahead, it's your nickel." In truth, do young people today even know what a nickel is? That mostly forgotten phrase likely means it would be a waste of time to warn someone not "to take any wooden nickels" as well.
Did your grandmother ever say, "Well that's a fine kettle of fish!" How about outdated words like "Fiddlesticks!" or "Phooey!" All perfectly good, clean grandma words and phrases that no one uses today.
Derogatory words and just plain weird ones
Derogatory words, anyone? Commentator Bill O'Reilly used to use the word "knucklehead." but that, too, is a rarity along with derogatory words like "nincompoop" and "pill." In 2019, at least in some circles, it's chic to call someone you don't like a "fascist." Or worse.
If you're looking for more positive outdated words, you might try one popularized in some of the movies from the 1940s. You can often find them on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Check out some of those old black & white classics see how often the word "swell" is used. As in, "That's a swell idea." Meaning a really, really good one.
As we search for even more outdated words, there were plenty of popular fashions from the "Good Old Days" that have disappeared into the world of anachronisms as well. Try beehives, pageboys, mohawks, D.A.s, spats, knickers, deck pants, fedoras, poodle skirts, weejuns, pedal pushers, saddle shoes and that ever-popular color combination of black and pink.
A veritable plethora of once chic but now outdated words and dated phrases
Time was when someone was successful they were "living the life of Riley." William Bendix later did thus that on his early, eponymous TV sitcom.
During World War II, it was popular to draw a picture of a little man peering over a fence with the expression "Kilroy was here." The Germans knew who Kilroy was back then. And they didn't want to meet him.
Then there was always dad or grandpa admonishing you to "straighten up and fly right" by putting on your best "bib and tucker."
More colorful exclamations were available at that time, some bordering on the vulgar. But all of them avoided that impolite pitfall, even as some edged up to that territory. "Jeepers Creepers" was yet another favorite, along with "Godfrey Daniels" (favored by W.C. Fields), "For Pete's sake," "For crying out loud" and "Holy smoke!"
It's a wrap
To paraphrase that famous, unanswered question Pete Seeger posed in the mid-1960s, "Where have all those phrases gone?Long time passing…"
Who knows? if we could come back at the turn of the 22nd century, we might not even be able to speak with Americans in the English language, thanks to its constant evolution.
As Sylvester the Cat might say, "Sufferin' succotash!"
