Facts: Upon divorce, Mother was named primary residential parent for Child. Several years later, Father filed petition to change custody. The trial court found Father had proved a material change of circumstances but found the parenting plan should not be changed in a "major way." The trial court modified the parenting schedule but did not change custody as Father requested. The trial court also calculated child support based on Mother's income of zero dollars instead of imputing income to her for being willfully unemployed. Father appealed.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court.
Regarding change of custody, the Court noted there are two standards for modifying a parenting schedule and changing custody.
To change custody, the standard set forth in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-6-101(a)(2)(B) is as follows:
If the issue before the court is a modification of the court's prior decree pertaining to custody, the petitioner must prove by a preponderance of the evidence a material change of circumstance. A material change of circumstance does not require a showing of a substantial risk of harm to the child. A material change of circumstance may include, but is not limited to, failures to adhere to the parenting plan or an order of custody and visitation or circumstances that make the parenting plan no longer in the best interest of the child.
To modify the parenting schedule, the standard set forth in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-6-101(a)(2)(C) is as follows:
If the issue before the court is a modification of the court's prior decree pertaining to a residential parenting schedule, then the petitioner must prove by a preponderance of the evidence a material change of circumstance affecting the child's best interest. A material change of circumstance does not require a showing of a substantial risk of harm to the child. A material change of circumstance for purposes of modification of a residential parenting schedule may include, but is not limited to, significant changes in the needs of the child over time, which may include changes relating to age; significant changes in the parent's living or working condition that significantly affect parenting; failure to adhere to the parenting plan; or other circumstances making a change in the residential parenting time in the best interest of the child.
The Court explains the standard in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-6-101(a)(2)(C) is a "very low threshold" for modification while the standard for changing custody is more difficult to satisfy.
If the person seeking the change of custody cannot demonstrate that the child's circumstances have changed in some material way, the trial court should not reexamine the comparative fitness of the parents, or engage in a 'best interests of the child' analysis.
If you want to know the details of the Father's argument for modification, you'll have to read the opinion. Suffice it to say the Court found the evidence in the record did not preponderate against the trial court's findings.
Finally, Father argued that Mother should be found to be willfully unemployed for child support purposes and, therefore, income should be imputed to her.
The mother testified that she was not working and could not work due to her son's medical condition, which she stated required constant monitoring, including the daily monitoring of his fluid intake, his number of wet diapers, etc. The mother testified that her most recent employment was a part-time job preparing taxes, and that she had used a private babysitter while she worked, but that person had since moved away. . . .
The regulations explaining what constitutes voluntary unemployment state that any intentional choice or act of a parent that adversely affects that parent's income can be a basis for such a finding. The regulations go on to explain that the court can consider the parent's role as caretaker of a handicapped or seriously ill child which reduces or eliminates the parent's ability to work outside the home. They further explain that stay-at-home parents are an "important and valuable factor in a child's life", and that in considering whether a stay-at-home parent should be imputed income, the court should look at whether the parent stayed at home when the parties were married, the length of time the parent has remained out of the workforce for this purpose, and the age of the children.
In this case, the mother testified that her ability to work was significantly limited by her infant son's health condition, and that she had decided to be a stay-at-home mom. There was no evidence regarding whether the mother was a stay-at-home mom while the parties were married, but she had been out of work basically since she became pregnant with her son due to health problems . . . . Based on these facts, the Trial Court did not err in finding that the mother was not voluntarily unemployed and we affirm his refusal to impute income to her.

See How Much Money We Can Save You!
Financial insecurity has been an overarching American problem since the Great Recession of 2008. You may be like many Americans and other Washington D.C. citizens who are in need of some help with your finances. Economic recovery hasn't always been as kind to folks in Washington, D.C. as it has in other areas of the country.
The District of Columbia has an unemployment rate significantly higher (5.9%) than the national average (4.7% at the end of 2016). Real estate prices are high in Washington, D.C. with a median home price of $635,000 and an average home rent of $3000. Couple these prices with a diverse income spread in the metro area, and you get an interesting picture: people in the immediate D.C. vicinity earn $1327 per week on average, whereas those in some of the outlying counties like Warren make on average $699 or less per week. So, it makes sense that more and more folks in the D.C. area are looking for solutions to their debt issues. Now is a good time to start getting a handle on your finances.

EVBN advocacy activities are managed by one of its major consortium partners, the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham).
Since its establishment in 1998, EuroCham has grown to represent more than 850 European businesses, counting among its supporters many of the world's leading enterprises.
With offices in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, EuroCham's mission is to represent the business interests of our European members in Vietnam, and to improve the business environment in Vietnam for the benefit of all players.
EuroCham has within it 13 Sector Committees with additional ones forming. Together EuroCham and its Sector Committees maintain a comprehensive advocacy program towards the authorities of Vietnam, supporting and advising the authorities in their reform process. The Sector Committees address both sector specific and cross-sectorial issues with the goal of improving the business environment for EuroCham's members as well as non-members and European businesses entering the Vietnamese market.
As the lead organization representing European business interests in Vietnam, EuroCham now works in partnership with the Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (BeluxCham), the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV), the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV), the German Business Association in Vietnam (GBA), the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICham), the Hanoi chapter of the Nordic Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (NordCham) and the Spanish Business Group in Vietnam (SBG).
EuroCham is also a member and founder of the EU-ASEAN Business Council representing European business interests in ASEAN and member of the European Business Organisations (EBO) Network, which works to represent the interests of European businesses in more than 30 countries across the globe.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is EVBN's strategic partner in facilitating its access to the Vietnamese Government from the central level to ministerial and provincial levels. It is also an effective channel for EVBN to get access to other Vietnamese stakeholders including the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Vietnam Business Forum and other sector-based business associations. MOFA and EVBN share, among others, a common mission of bringing local and European businesses together and voicing the concerns of the business community to the Vietnamese Government.
To lay the foundation for the partnership, MOFA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with EVBN and one with EuroCham on 26 October 2016, both are expected to effectively facilitate the activities of EVBN's Advocacy Component.

- Mosley Road Project
Mosley Road Project
Mosley Road was last repaved when the sidewalk was installed in 2001, and the asphalt pavement is now due for resurfacing. Roadway resurfacing involves the removal and replacement of the top portion of the asphalt pavement, and such repairs are typically required for asphalt roads after 10-15 years. Notable examples of recent pavement resurfacing projects include Ladue Road and Spoede Road. A similar scope of work is envisioned for Mosley Road.
The city has received numerous comments regarding the conditions of Mosley Road since the previous project, most of which have focused on the ride quality of the pavement. Due to these complaints and the observations of city staff, the city hired the engineering design firm Horner & Shifrin to evaluate Mosley and to develop a concept improvement plan. Various options are being considered, including: minor widening to create consistent lane widths, installing curb on the east side of Mosley, stormwater management, improving intersection sight distances, and horizontal and vertical realignment of sub-standard sections of the roadway.
This study is currently underway and is expected to be complete by the end of 2014.
Below, please find links to the exhibits presented at the public informational meeting held on July 29:
- Plan view of Mosley, from Ladue to Olive
- Roadway typical sections for options considered
- Possible realignment of "S" curve
Send Us Your Comments!
Please provide your comments on the Mosley Road project to the city.

The bowler hat was a motif in the musical composition that was Sabina's life. It returned again and again, each time with a different meaning, and all the meanings flowed through the bowler hat like water through a riverbed. I might call it Heraclitus' ( You can't step twice into the same river ) riverbed: the bowler hat was a bed through which each time Sabina saw another river flow, another semantic river: each time the same object would give rise to a new meaning, though all former meanings would resonate (like an echo, like a parade of echoes) together with the new one. Each new experience would resound, each time enriching the harmony. The reason why Tomas and Sabina were touched by the sight of the bowler hat in a Zurich hotel and made love almost in tears was that its black presence was not merely a reminder of their love games but also a memento of Sabina's father and of her grandfather, who lived in a century without airplanes and cars.
Now, perhaps, we are in a better position to understand the abyss separating Sabina and Franz: he listened eagerly to the story of her life and she was equally eager to hear the story of his, but although they had a clear understanding of the logical meaning of the words they exchanged, they failed to hear the semantic susurrus of the river flowing through them.
And so when she put on the bowler hat in his presence, Franz felt uncomfortable, as if someone had spoken to him in a language he did not know. It was neither obscene nor sentimental, merely an incomprehensible gesture. What made him feel uncomfortable was its very lack of meaning.

Residents prepare for gardening
Residents build bird feeders
Bismarck Primrose
The sun is shining and the temperatures are comfortable, and at the Bismarck Primrose active seniors enjoy the outdoors in many ways.
One popular activity this summer is gardening. To provide for all the members of the garden club, feed troughs from a farm supply store were purchased and filled with soil. Each garden club member was then given a plot in the ground beds.
Vegetables and flowers inhabit the gardening beds. Primrose resident Fred Kaelberer has taken on the watering duties for everyone. Fred goes out to check on the garden every morning, and starts up the hose and waters each area. He has also been very active in helping other residents with their gardening. Some of the gardeners say they enjoy looking at the pretty flowers, while others are looking forward to taking a bite out of a homegrown tomato.
Neighboring the garden area is a bird bath. Many of the residents enjoy bird watching, so the community made homemade bird feeders out of pine cones, peanut butter, and bird seed, and hung the bird feeders next to the bird bath. Visiting birds splash and feed, providing jolly good entertainment for the residents.
An outdoor walking club was recently created. Throughout the winter many of the residents walked the hallways for exercise. Now, they can explore scenic walking paths in any direction they walk, especially along the neighboring golf course or throughout the college campus just to the west of Primrose.
To find out more about active senior living at Primrose, contact your nearest Primrose Retirement Community today to see more of our fun and social living. We'll happily answer all your questions and show you around our beautiful communities. Come see why we say, THIS IS LIVING!

Made this for a friend who recently had surgery so didn't get to see what it actually looked like finished, but it went together quite easily. Only tedious part was filling the pan with the rigatoni, but only took about 5 minutes. Don't pack them in there, you want them to be "open" so the sauce goes through.
Plan to make another one once I get the pan back from my friend.
Made one for myself, is it worth the work? Not really? Is it interesting looking? Yes.

The U.S. government is dramatically ratcheting up its rhetoric against whistleblowing news collective Wikileaks, announcing on Thursday that authorities are preparing new charges on which to arrest the group's founder, Julian Assange. Assange has lived at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for the last four years in order to avoid extradition and arrest. Now, in the wake of Wikileaks' controversial Vault 7 releases, which exposed thousands of documents detailing the CIA's use of domestic and international cyberhacking tools, it appears the government is out for blood.
The Justice Department has sought charges against Assange for almost decade, since Wikileaks facilitated the release of files stolen by whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning. Tension between Wikileaks and U.S. intelligence agencies was further eroded during and after the 2016 presidential election, when U.S. authorities — citing no evidence — asserted Wikileaks had colluded with Russia to affect the outcome.
While Ecuador previously signaled it would not extradite Assange, new statements by CIA Director Mike Pompeo indicate the U.S. may believe it has a path towards arresting Assange, whose leaks have revealed countless state abuses of surveillance power. Recently, a joint investigation by the CIA and the FBI sought to identify the leaker of the Vault 7 files, which show, among other things, that the CIA is capable of surveilling U.S. citizens by hacking into their smart devices.
"It's time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: A non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia," Pompeo said last week in a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
In a recent op-ed in the Washington Post, Assange repudiated claims made against Wikileaks.
"Quite simply, our motive is identical to that claimed by the New York Times and The Post — to publish newsworthy content. Consistent with the U.S. Constitution, we publish material that we can confirm to be true irrespective of whether sources came by that truth legally or have the right to release it to the media. And we strive to mitigate legitimate concerns, for example by using redaction to protect the identities of at-risk intelligence agents."

After using TOAD Total OBD & ECU Auto Diagnostics Software (TOAD) + ELM327: OBD2 Scanner + Chiptuning (their main product which sometimes has 1,000,000 names, so I'm including them all right here), I thought I write my subjective assessment utilizing Total Car Diagnostics help staff on my aspect and TOAD efficiently on 1,640+ automobiles in my automotive repair store since April 2011.
Fill a bucket with water and a small amount of cleaning soap, minimize your sandpaper sheet in two halves, hold it horizontally and lower a vertical line proper in the middle, let one half sit in the water for about 5 minutes before you begin, wrap your sandpaper around your sanding squeegee for those who reduce your sandpaper appropriately it'll fold in three equal parts.
As is the case with industrial jobs like machining and welding, for at the least a technology, dad and mom have discouraged their children from coming into the auto service world, pushing them toward white-collar jobs despite the fact that many technical degrees yield better salaries than many college degrees, stated Tony Molla, vice president of communications for the Leesburg, Va.-based National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, which certifies technicians.

You will spend about the identical period of time moist sanding with 2000 as you did with 1200 or 1500 grit, but you have to to be extra cautious and keep monitor of the elements you are executed with, for an untrained eye there will not be a noticeable distinction between the two forms of scratches so simply be sure to sand evenly and thoroughly however once again being careful not to overdo it. The sanding pattern is identical as in step two, do not forget to rinse and clear each half earlier than and after you might be completed.

Yes i registered a domain, it is in my account and i wanted to list it on godaddy auction, but am not able to do so because it was owned by another person before and i have to buy it again using a broker.
I would 100% call into support as something seems off there - I know there is a fee for being an auction member. I am assuming you are already an auction member.
You are saying the system is tell you that you need to purchase a domain already in your account. Only thing I can think of is if the domain was previously listed in an auction and something hasn't cleared through the system.
As I said though as we are end users sales/support will need to help you with this - If you can post a screen shot, I might be able to at least give you a "tell support this" in order to help you get your issue resolved with fewer questions.

HI @tsemu16. I agree with @PL281 in that you'll need to connect with our care team to request a refund. You can take a look at our refund policy here. In general, most domains are refundable within a 5-day window after registration, but there are some exceptions.
Also, if the domain is in your account, I can't think of a reason why you'd be seeing a prompt to buy our brokerage service unless you're searching for the domain on our website after purchasing it. There IS a fee for listing your domain on GoDaddy Auctions though, but you can list most domains as Premium for free.

New Products! Subsea Buoyancy Foam, Cable Penetrators, and parts
We are excited to announce the release of a number of new products today! In addition to thrusters, there are a whole lot of other things you'll need to get your underwater creation in the water.
Subsea Buoyancy Foam
Need something to help your ROV float? This Subsea Buoyancy Foam is just what you're looking for! Comes in four sizes.
The Subsea Buoyancy Foam is a machinable, hydrostatic pressure-resistant foam that provides buoyancy underwater (to depths of 300 ft, uncoated or 600 ft coated). Its closed-cell structure is engineered to resist penetration by water. Due to its pressure resistance to many fluids and resins, it is also used in resin-transfer molding as a core material. The foam semi-submersible foam is optimal for shallow to mid-water underwater robotics applications.
Here are a few examples of ROVs that use buoyancy foam for stability and floatation:
Cable Penetrators and Silicone Grease
We also now have Cable Penetrators and Silicone Grease for your water-tight enclosures.(more…)

The Pursuit of Perfection
Perfection. Such a simple word to define, yet an impossible goal to attain. In reality Perfection itself does not exist. It's only true purpose is as a comparison. To compare the ideal of a perfect concept, against it's real life counter-part. Naturally, this is used to help us understand exactly how 'good' or 'bad' something truly is.
Perfection however, if understood, or used, incorrectly, can be a terribly mis-leading thing. For example, if i were to try and use marble to create a perfect image of a human being, my end result would be terrible. And therfore, Imperfect. However, the sculpture of David is also imperfect in some ways. Does this mean that my sculpture and David are comparable? No. It does not. Does it's imperfections detract from the beauty of David? Not at all. In fact only a fool would say that David is a waste of a persons time to create, merely by the very fact that it is not perfect.
I am here to say that We, and by We i refer to MMO players as a community, are fools.
We seek Perfection in our games. That is logical, why would we not constantly strive for improvement? It is the only way we move forward. However our fault lies, by the very fact that if a game does not live up to our quality of Perfection, then we discount it. We call it a failure and a waste of time. Does a game not offer the perfect PVP experience? No? Well, then the game is a failure. Are the end-game dungeons not holding to your skill level? Bad game, move onto the next one.
We refuse to accept imperfection as a normal, and inconsequential occurance in games. If our game is not completely fault-proof, and Perfect, then many of us will never play that game again. Many players are wondering, why are there no successful MMOs? It is not for lack of trying, it is for lack of acceptance on our end.
Understand, that a bad game is a bad game, and should be labled as such, however, we must again compare with my previous analogy. My marble sculpture, would be considered, 'Bad' by a normal and reasonable person. It would, and rightly so, be discounted, and left out in the rain to feel lonely and slowly fall apart.
David however, is a 'Great' sculpture, but it still falls short of Perfection. Yet many still hail it as a masterpiece. Perhaps we Gamers have lost this lesson in life?
How many of you have played a game, and after 10 minutes logged off, and deleted it from your computer? Many of us. Most likely all of us. I myself am more than guilty of this careless act. Yet is this fair? And is it Just? Again to use my analogy. This would like looking at David and noticing a small crack on his toenail, and immediatly discounting the sculpture as, 'Bad, and imperfect'. Not only do we not fully appriciate the entirety of the sculpture, but we focus only on the imperfections. As gamers we focus on what the game does Wrong, and not what it does Right.
No game is perfect. No game ever will be. We must accept this. I have seen too many posts and threads to count saying, "Just played game X in beta. Had a mob fall beneath the ground so i couldn't loot it. X is a terrible game. Do not buy this game."
The player ignores the beautiful scenery around him. Ignores structure of the combat system. Ignores the crafting system, the PVP system. He ignores all that a game does 'right' and focuses on what the game does 'wrong'.
Gamers wonder why exactly no game is considered "Great' anymorre, and the fault doesn't lie with developers. They haven't changed and just recently decided to start making imperfect games. The fault lies with us. We expect too much. We look at the flaws and not the triumphs.
We look at my terrible marble sculpture and David in the same light. "Imperfect".
Wheras a wise man would see both. He would ignore my sculpture, but marvel at David. He would praise it's marvellous design. He would look at it's imperfections and not only appriciate them, but gain knowledge from them. For without those imperfections, there could be no improvement made in the future.
So the next time you judge a game, do not judge by it's faults. Do not judge by it's lack, but by it's abundance. Judge on it's triumphs. Judge on what it does Right, and not by what it does Wrong.
Nothing in this world is made without fault. Why do we expect our games to be?

Expect flakes of gold and homegrown herbs in the brand new cocktail menu at The Hari, London's newest hotel, in Belgravia.
What to Expect
Once part of the Thompson Hotel Group, The Hari is the first concept from Harilela Hotels and opened at the end of August this year and a second hotel will follow in Hong Kong in 2017.
Despite its prestigious address, the atmosphere in the bar is relaxed. For the warmer months, there's an intimate terrace complete with retractable roof, where whiskey and cigars (as you do) can be ordered and enjoyed at leisure. There's a minimum spend of £25 – easily covered by a couple of drinks – in the bar and terrace from Thursday to Sunday after 9pm, so sit back and savour each sip.
What to Drink
With bold ingredients from fresh chilli to masala chai, there's a cocktail for you, whatever your preference. With an insatiable sweet tooth, I opted first for Martini in the Garden, a blend of vodka, Campari, watermelon and lime, topped with fresh mint. A number of cocktails on The Hari's varied and extensive menu include fresh herbs from their garden terrace, including the most popular Thyme is Endless…, combining vodka with blueberries, thyme and lime.
My drinking partner in crime for the evening chose The Hari, the hotel's signature cocktail and much-loved by its Indian owner. An indulgent mix of gin, masala chai, honey and gold, this is a decadent treat for the eyes and taste buds.
Up next for me was The Custodian, containing rum, papaya, ginger and lime. I'm fan of ginger, and wow, did this have a kick. And this wasn't alone, every flavour in each carefully constructed cocktail makes its presence known, yet there is a clever balance between the ingredients. Take The Tahona, a punchy combination of tequila, Triple Sec, fresh pineapple, coriander, fresh chilli and lime – if you're a tequila fan, this is one not to be missed!
What to Eat
While the cocktails are the focus, there's a food menu on offer in the bar and terrace, containing snacks, sandwiches, burgers and desserts. And the Milk and Cookies cocktail – a delicious blend of vodka, Frangelico, chocolate liqueur, honey and almond milk – comes with cookies if you're feeling peckish.
Best for…
Ok so we have to admit, averaging at £17 a cocktail, drinks at The Hari aren't cheap. However, with Christmas around the corner, the chilled bar is the perfect place for a festive catch up with friends or to treat someone special… or even to be treated yourself. It's a date night winner! Sink into one of the sumptuous armchairs and lose a few hours catching up, cocktail in hand.
Don't Miss
Liven up tea time with the Botanical Tea Pot – gin infused with Jasmine Silver Needle, champagne and lemon served in a teapot to share between two. Saturday afternoons don't get any more stylish than this.
The Hari | 20 Chesham Place, London UK SW1X 8HQ
Mix The Hari or The Thyme is Endless at home with these recipes…

Kelly photographed our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We had another photographer do our engagement photos, and we weren't completely satisfied. I found Kelly on here and she was super responsive and we planned a meeting quickly. I explained to her exactly what we wanted and she was willing to travel and do our photos on the location we wanted and captured the city and us perfectly. I am currently impatiently checking my email, even though it has only been two weeks, because I know our wedding photos will be amazing. Within a few days of the wedding she posted teaser shots on Facebook and Instagram and they were more all we wanted and more. She takes charge, is easy going and I loved having her be a part of our day. Pick her you won't be disappointed.

She even stayed late to get a shot of us and our guest in front of our shuttle bus aka a school bus. Overall we have so many wonderful pictures of our special day and I am so happy that I chose Kelly as our photographer.
Lauren and Steven
Kelly was absolutely amazing to work with! We had a huge wedding party and she was able to take control and capture amazing group pictures.

New Business Pipeline exceeds $5.0 million in potential new revenue;
Nearly $2.0 million in potential pipeline revenue is from Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel, currently awaiting FDA clearance
Salt Lake City, June 26, 2017 – Great Basin Scientific, Inc. (OTCQB: GBSN), a molecular diagnostics company, today provided a general business update on the Company, focusing on its efforts to drive growth in second half 2017 and into 2018 through an expanded menu of diagnostic panels and tests. Highlights include:
- New business pipeline exceeds $5.0 million, an increase of 123% over the fourth quarter of 2016;
- Pipeline includes $1.96 million in expected annual revenue from the Company's Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel (SBPP), currently awaiting expected 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA);
- Average expected annual revenue of sites in evaluation increases 279% to $47,866 compared with $12,620 in the second quarter of 2016; and
- New customer sites now comprise 34% of new business pipeline.
"We are pleased to see such exciting results from the large investments we made in 2016 to diversify and expand our product menu. Already, we believe the potential revenues of our new business pipeline exceed our revenues for all of fiscal year 2016," said Ryan Ashton, co-founder and chief executive officer of Great Basin Scientific. "Especially encouraging has been the response to our most important product, the Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel, currently awaiting FDA clearance. We will not commence sales and marketing outreach on that panel until we receive FDA clearance, but inbound demand has been promising, and, based on the pre-clearance demand, we expect to see our new business pipeline growth accelerate once we receive FDA clearance for this important assay."
Ashton continued, "In addition to menu expansion and new business progress, we also continue to execute our cash management program, which was initiated in late 2016. This program is intended to re-align Company resources from a heavy focus on product development to an increased focus on customer acquisition and revenue growth. We expect our cash burn rate to continue to decline during 2017, and reiterate our target for total operating expenses at or below $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, proving our dedication to executing on the fundamentals that will both serve our target market and our stockholders."
New Business Pipeline and Product Mix
As of June 22, 2017, the Company had approximately $5.0 million of potential new revenues in the new business pipeline. These potential revenue estimates, as well as those below are based on the evaluating site's own estimate of their expected testing volumes multiplied by the product price offered to the prospective customer[1].
The Company's highest-value multiplex panels – Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel (SIDR) and Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel (SBPP) SBPP – comprise 34% of new customer site evaluations in the new business pipeline. Staph ID/R has a list price 50% above that of the Company's low-plex tests, with the same general cost-of-goods as the low-plex assays. SBPP, which is awaiting 510(k) clearance from the FDA, comprises 25% of the new customer evaluations in the pipeline. SBPP, when commercially available, will have a list price 2-3 times higher than the Company's low-plex tests. Based on customer feedback, the Company anticipates significant pipeline growth for SBPP once it receives FDA clearance and the Company is free to market the panel. The new business pipeline follows:
To the extent these evaluations and scheduled evaluations are converted into customers, we expect such conversions to occur between the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. The Company's historical "win rate" (those evaluations that elect to become customers) has been 82%.
New Customers from Larger Hospitals and Labs Mark Largest Evaluation Growth
A substantial increase in the number of larger hospitals and labs in the new business pipeline, along with greater interest in the Company's newest and higher-priced panels, is resulting in significant growth in the Company's expected average annual revenue per customer. Expected annual revenue from new customers evaluating the Company's products increased approximately 279% from the second quarter of 2016 and 186% from the third quarter of 2016. This significant increase occurred prior to launch of the Company's first mid-plex panel, its Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel for blood sepsis caused by staphylococcus species. The Company believes its expanded product mix of low-, mid- and multi-plex assays is the primary driver of the increase in expected average revenue per customer, and believes this trend will accelerate with the addition of SBPP to its commercial offerings, as well as the anticipated development of other, higher-priced assays in the future. The chart below shows the average expected annual revenue of new customer evaluation starts by quarter:
Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel (SBPP)
The Company expects its SBPP assay to be its primary growth driver in 2018, having already seen large demand for this assay pre-FDA clearance. The Company believes this response has been driven by three factors:
- SBPP addresses, by far, the largest market of any of the Company's products—that for the approximately 48 million food-borne illnesses that occur annually in the United States;
- The assay fulfills an unmet need by providing a powerful, focused set of answers that allow clinicians to quickly and accurately diagnose and treat their patients suffering from food-borne gastrointestinal distress; and
- The Company's low-cost structure allows it to offer its hospital and lab customers a powerful value proposition. The test will be priced below expected reimbursement rates, which means SBPP can be run profitably by customers.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there are 48 million food-borne (bacterial) illnesses annually in the United States. SBPP powerfully addresses this large market where current solutions are either too slow (culture) or too expensive relative to reimbursement rates (mega-plex panels). The Company believes its low-cost, easy-to-use solution will drive placements for its system, accelerating revenue growth and, because of SBPP's higher selling price and exceptional gross margins, resulting in profitability.
In late December 2016, the Company submitted its 510(k) application for SBPP to the FDA. Previous 510(k) clearances for the Company's assays have been approximately 180 days from submission to clearance, with the Company's first FDA-cleared mid-plex panel, Staph ID/R, requiring 205 days.
Mid-Plex Panels and Reimbursement as a Competitive Driver
In late April 2017, Medicare contractor Palmetto GBA issued a draft of Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs)[2] proposing reimbursement coverage for a variety of diagnostic panels, including Foodborne Gastrointestinal Panels Identified by Multiplex Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs), recommending the use of smaller, more targeted panels over larger and broader panels. Their reasoning for non-coverage included the fact that the pathogen targets in larger (more than five pathogens) panels don't represent a common syndrome, and that many targets can be very rare. "A panel that includes pathogens that are very rare, or a panel in which all pathogens do not cause overlapping clinical syndromes, or when some pathogens are found only in specific patient populations (immuno-compromised patients) is not reasonable and necessary," Palmetto wrote. This recommendation supports Great Basin's mid-plex panel approach of smaller panels that represent a common syndrome, for which there is broad applicability and, per Palmetto's recommendation, offers a lower rate of reimbursement denial.
"In ongoing discussions with customers and prospects, they report a strong preference for smaller panels targeting the most common pathogens, noting high-cost molecular diagnostic mega-panels are meeting reimbursement resistance from payors and clinical resistance from clinicians who prefer a more targeted, therapy-focused set of answers for their patients. This preference maps to the updated reimbursement recommendations being issued from payors like Palmetto, reinforcing our mid-plex panel strategy," said Sandra Nielsen, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Great Basin Scientific. "We are excited about the opportunity to serve the needs of clinicians with SBPP and our in-development Stool Parasite Panel, two right-sized, cost effective panels that we believe will offer a significant competitive advantage over either culture or our competitors' high-cost molecular diagnostic mega-panels."

Bed Bug Bites
10 Most Common Bug Bites
There are many different types of bugs that bite. The most common bug bites are bed bug bites. Here are the 10 most common types of bug bites.
1. Bed bugs require blood meals, and humans are their preferred host.
2. Mosquito bites are most common around stagnant bodies of water.
3. Fleas prefer pets as their hosts. However, fleas will switch to human blood if their pet host is removed for a period of time.
4. Ant bites feel like a small pinch and are not dangerous but can be an itchy annoyance.
5. Bee stings are usually not as common because the bee usually has to be provoked to sting. Bee stings can be mistaken for bites.
6. Dust mites don't actually bite but people suspect mites when in fact they have bed bugs.
7. Spiders bite when they are trapped between skin and clothing or bedding.
8. Ticks suck human blood and may remain lodged in the skin for days.
9. Wasps most often sting when their nest is provoked. Wasps stings can be mistaken for a bug bite.
10. Scorpion stings are often mistaken for spider bites.
If you believe you have bedbugs, you should call a professional bed bug exterminator.

On 4:41 PM by Amazing Health Travel in wellness travel
I recently read an article in The New York Times, 'Regimens: Massage Benefits Are More Than Skin Deep' reporting on the benefits of getting a massage. You can read a summary of the article below.
Article SummaryThe article covered a medical study conducted by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The Center recruited 53 healthy adults and randomly assigned 29 of them to a 45-minute session of deep-tissue Swedish massage and the other 24 to a session of light massage.
The Results: The 29 volunteers who received the Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol in blood and saliva. They also had an increase in the number of white blood cells, which boosted their immune system.
The 24 volunteers who had the light massage experienced greater increases in oxytocin, a hormone associated with contentment, than the Swedish massage group, but a lower release of cortisol. This group experienced a high level of contentment.
What does this mean for you?This study confirms what wellness travel providers intuitively already knew. Wellness Travel benefits your overall health. By receiving massage services at a resort, hotel or destination spa, you are:
- Decreasing your stress level
- Boosting your immune system; and
- Increasing blood circulation throughout your body
I agree with the study findings. After I receive a massage, whether I visit the spa or get a massage from my husband at home, I always feel so much better. Getting a massage brings me clarity and relaxes my mind.

Battle of Took's Farm- with apologies to HGW...
Figures used were Minifigs Mythical Earth figures and Jim Duncan's rules - both circa 1976.
Farmer Took had vacated his farm and sought shelter as soon as the first wargs were seen in the woods nearby .Soon they were joined by their evil allies. Farmer Took's son was able to seek the aid of Elves and Riders of Rohan to try and save his land. The Took family found a place from which to view the coming battle and waited for the action to commence.
A fierce battle was joined between the Wood Elves and the Trolls/Giant for Firefly Temple.
Ent,Huorn,dwarves,goblins and Dunlanders contest the wood...
The Wood Elves flee in the face of superior odds...
The Riders of Rohan rout off the table after a fierce melee preceded by archery. The wizard ,whose magic has gone wrong routs off the table.
At the end of the battle the goblins and Dunlanders rout off the field,the wargs flee back to the mountains whilst the giant meets it's end at upon myriad lance points.
The game ended in a draw with farmer Took the only winner. Both sides slunk away under the cover of darkness. I really enjoyed the game and will have another solo one very soon adding in swarms of bats ,eagles etc...

Have a great day one and all...

Funny little Wars help sought
Evening chaps!
I am looking for a historical precedent (if such a thing is appropriate or even desirable in our games) for having units of Army Black and Army White fighting side by side in a FLW army.Of course it is a case of wanting my cake and eating it ( how appropriate for the Austro -Hungarians of Army White) and wanting to field both splendid troops in one force .Can you help?
many thanks

Yesterday Jan and I did a little Christmas shopping together in Edinburgh at Holy Corner (so called because of the number of churches at the junction of some roads there)which was a lovely way to start the Season. A sudden freezing has left the Duchy under sheet ice.Considering my enthusiasm for ski troops in miniatures I am surprisingly wary of ice generally as I walk about. We had wonderful coffee and apple strudel at the German baker/coffee shop pictured in the top photograph.If in the city don't miss this place!
Cards were bought too including ones with a painting by the Marianne Stokes.I have posted this image of another of her most famous works. I had better dash -off to Church soon and later this afternoon I hope to have time to set up a Middle Earth game on the dining room table. Have a good day one and all!

The Reconnect program operated between Goodwill Industries International and Dell has long offered tech junkies a means of recycling old computers instead of junking them. Now, those looking to ditch their Xbox consoles and Zune entertainment devices in an environmentally safe manner can also participate in Reconnect, as Microsoft has announced its involvement in the program.
Microsoft corporate VP Brian Tobey acknowledged that the world's obsession with electronics grows every year; it's only logical that they be given methods of safely disposing of tech toys when the time comes to toss out the old in favor of the new. "The Reconnect program helps consumers easily and properly recycle these products at the end of their use," Tobey said in a Dell-issued release, "and our effort to strengthen and expand this program is a natural extension of our commitment to environmental sustainability."
Since the program's inception in 2004, Reconnect has redirected 96 million pounds from landfills and has created approximately 250 green jobs. Donated equipment that meets Reconnect's criteria are either resold, repaired and refurbished, or broken down into parts that are recycled by Dell partners.

On Thursday, three Pakistani nationals who were living in India under false identities were arrested in Bengaluru. Among their identity documents, there were also Aadhaar cards that all of them seemed to possess.
The two men and one woman have been identified as Khasif Shamsuddin, Samira Abdul Rahman, and Kiron Ghulam Ali. An Indian citizen, Muhammed Shihab, a native of Kerala, reportedly helped them.
So how did these Pakistani nationals manage to get Aadhaar cards?
It involved fake names and a house rental agreement.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the the three Pakistani nationals and Kerala-native Mohammad Shihab had a rental agreement for their house in Kumaraswamy Layout.
In these documents, their names were changed. The Karachi-born Samira Abdul Rehman had been named Najma, while Kirhon had become Kiran, reports The Hindu. These fake documents were used to procure Aadhaar cards.
Muhammed Shihab and Pakistani girl Sameera married each other and started living in Bengaluru after their families objected to the match. The other couple too were living there for the same reason.
According to reports, they managed to get Aadhaar cards made for as low as Rs 100.
"The information we have received so far from the accused is that they got Aadhaar cards done for as low as Rs 100. How they went about it and the documents they used to obtain it is still under investigation," said a senior police officer.
The case has thrown up yet another series of questions about the biometric Aadhaar card system. While it was meant to be solution for the forged identity cards, it's clearly not working.
The police are now trying to tracing the people who helped the family secure the documents.
"We have arrested these four persons under various section of Passport Act, conspiracy and creation of false document, misrepresentation etc. Interrogation is going on not only by state police but also by central agencies to verify all the information given by them," Praveen Sood, Bengaluru Police Commissioner said.
According to reports, the Pakistani trio crossed the Indo-Nepal border from Kathmandu a year ago. They had reached Nepal from Qatar via Muscat in Oman. Then they reached Patna in Bihar before moving to Bengaluru.

Dressing to Thrill
She's Michelle Obama's favorite designer, and Oprah wears her gowns. Her soft, sexy, elegant clothes have placed her atop Chicago's fashion A-list. And now, with a new boutique, Maria Pinto completes a remarkable comeback
(page 3 of 3)
From Pinto's spring 2008 collection: A laser-cut leather halter wrap top lined with silk and Mercedes Italian cotton high-waisted pants
High in a Gold Coast high-rise, Pinto's apartment is the embodiment of Zen. The living room is filled with lacquered Asian furniture, white orchids, and two lounging cats. Her iPod is hooked up to a stereo system playing soothing music. And Pinto is serving mint tea in Japanese porcelain cups sitting on saucers that look like leaves.
Even here, in the peaceful atmosphere she has created for herself (Pinto has never been married), work is not that far away. Sometimes she watches the reality television series Project Runway. Closer at hand, in the dining room, one wall holds books covering a range of interests: Givenchy, Schiaparelli, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, anatomy, fish. Cloth-covered pin boards that display more Ethiopian photographs and fabric swatches hang on another wall. Pinto travels to Paris twice a year for fabric shows; her designs for beaded work are constructed in India. "I am a nut for fabric," she says, picking up swatches from her dining-room table and rubbing her fingers over the material. "You have to feel this. Isn't it the softest, most enticing fabric you've ever felt?"
From Pinto for spring: a Rachel pinstriped cotton shirt with square-cut pieces layered to create a collar and a Komang laser-cut leather gored skirt lined with silk
This passion—her self-defined "hypercreativity matched by hyperorganization"—fuels her plans for the new store. "Now, with a store's buyers picking out these pants, this coat, and certain material for dresses, my vision gets splintered," says Pinto. "In my store, I can create an environment that presents the brand and the experience of shopping as I think it should be." The architect for the store is Elissa Scrafano; Pinto's brother Joe, a self-taught designer, is doing the façade; and the interior design will be by Scott Heuvelhorst. "It was an old deli," Pinto says. "We are going to refurbish the staircase in bamboo flooring that will run up the back wall. Part of me loves richness and embellishment, but I also like clean, beautiful lines. For this space, we're going with what I call 'opulent minimalism.' You know, steel and glass and comfortable, sizable dressing rooms."
The bad times of a few years ago seem far behind her. Yet she hasn't forgotten them. "It would be easy to get all caught up in thinking, Why this? Why that?" says Pinto. "But I try to look at what happened as lessons."
So what has she learned?
"Not to take things for granted." She pauses to think. "And to concentrate on what is important. Sometimes I have to rein myself in. For example, I love handbags. So I could get all caught up in making handbags. Or jewelry—I love jewelry, too. But I'm not going to do that now. It could be easy to get lost." Sitting here, over her cup of tea, Pinto is clearly wearing her confidence. And she wears it well. "I don't want to dilute myself and have everything be just OK. I don't want to be too big and just passable. I have learned that I want to do what I'm doing and be fabulous."
