Do you work for a university or a higher education institution? Discover if UniHealth is the fund for you.
Restricted health funds are exclusive health insurance providers that are typically run as not-for-profit organisations for the benefit of their members. Because the health funds are restricted, it often means more similarities between members, which can help restricted funds offer more focused products to deliver better value for money. This guide goes through the different UniHealth cover types available and looks at how it compares to other health funds and the fine print to consider before signing up.
What are the key features of UniHealth policies?
- Comprehensive ambulance cover with all policies. It's generally unusual to find a health fund that includes cover for non-emergency ambulance services in its hospital policies, especially at its most basic level of cover. UniHealth includes a $3,000 annual limit for non-emergency ambulance services and unlimited cover for emergency ambulance services.
- Full private room cover. You will receive cover for private hospital accommodation when available for all eligible in-hospital procedures. For restricted procedures you can still get covered for a private room in a public hospital. Many other health funds will only cover a shared room in a public hospital.
- No outright excluded treatments. The services covered by the Basic Hospital policy are similar to what you'll find with many other health funds, but it doesn't outright exclude cover for any specific procedures. Although out-of-pocket costs may be incurred as a private patient (regardless of whether you're in a public or private hospital) it still gives you more flexibility if you do need any of those procedures.
What policies does UniHealth offer?
You can take out either hospital or extras cover alone. If you want both, you can also take out both hospital and extras, either by picking your own cover level for each or picking the package option:
- Hospital. Covers you for Medicare services in private hospitals and delivers other benefits. The three levels of hospital cover are Basic, Mid and Top.
- Extras. Covers a range of ancillary health services that aren't covered by Medicare, like dental work, optical, physiotherapy and many other out-of-hospital health services. The two levels of extras cover are Essential and Top.
- Package. UniHealth has a single package option known as the StarterPak, designed for those who want basic value-for-money cover for more commonly used services.
What's covered by each level of hospital cover?
- Covered in private hospitals
- Minimally covered in private hospitals, largely covered as a private patient in a public hospital
- Not covered
How many members does UniHealth service?
Along with Teachers Health, UniHealth provides health insurance policies to over 290,000 people. This gives Teachers Health a market share of 2.2%.
Is UniHealth nonprofit?
Does UniHealth get many complaints?
Teachers Health, the not-for-profit fund that runs UniHealth accounts for:
- 2.2% of the Australian health insurance market
- 2.2% of all complaints about benefit payments
- 1.2% of all complaints about service
- 0.9% of all complaints that require investigation
Source: Private Health Insurance Ombudsman, State of the Health Fund Report 2016
How many hospital agreements does UniHealth have in my state and in total?
There are two important factors that determine the benefit your health fund pays for hospital services:
- The level of hospital cover you purchase
- Whether your health fund has an agreement with the hospital where you are treated
The table below details the number of hospital agreements Teachers Health (UniHealth's parent fund) has in place across each Australian state and territory. You can check this figure against the industry maximum for all health funds to see how UniHealth compares.
|Private hospital agreements
|Day hospital agreements
|97 (industry maximum: 101)
|90 (industry maximum: 96)
|6 (industry maximum: 7)
|7 (industry maximum: 9)
|78 (industry maximum: 84)
|75 (industry maximum: 75)
|53 (industry maximum: 57)
|45 (industry maximum: 51)
|26 (industry maximum: 29)
|25 (industry maximum: 27)
|21 (industry maximum: 23)
|23 (industry maximum: 26)
|6 (industry maximum: 8)
|3 (industry maximum: 5)
|2 (industry maximum: 2)
|1 (industry maximum: 1)
Are there any additional benefits to being a member?
- Access Gap Cover. All UniHealth policies include Access Gap Cover. This billing scheme helps reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for hospital treatments with participating doctors.
- QBE home and car insurance discounts. Members receive a multi-policy discount with QBE home and car insurance.
- Allianz Global Assistance travel insurance discounts. They also get 10% off Allianz Global Assistance travel insurance
- New family program. Practical information and support for early parenting matters.
- Rehabilitation at home. Professional rehabilitation services in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
- Weight loss and management. Assistance in reaching and then maintaining your weight goals.
- Chronic disease management. Professional, evidence-based support and assistance for a range of chronic diseases.
- Diabetes management. Assistance for members with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
- Residential care support. Receive assistance in making well-informed decisions on residential aged care facilities.
- Hospital care at home. Early discharge and hospital care in your own home to help reduce the chance of hospital-acquired infections and to get home sooner.
Paying your UniHealth premiums
Premiums for your UniHealth health insurance policy can be paid using the following methods:
- BPAY. Contact your bank and quote UniHealth's BPAY reference number (266155) and your BPAY member reference number.
- Phone. You can make an over-the-phone credit card payment by calling 1300 345 876, or (02) 8072 9282 if calling from a mobile phone or from overseas.
- Credit card. You can log into your UniHealth account and pay your premium by credit card through the UniHealth Online Member Services area.
- Direct debit. You can also set up a direct debit from your nominated bank account or credit card for premiums to be automatically paid at your desired frequency.
Premiums can be paid fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
How do I lodge a UniHealth claim?
There are several ways you can lodge a health insurance extras claim with UniHealth:
- On the spot. Simply swipe your UniHealth membership card on the spot when you visit your health care provider to claim your benefit instantly.
- Via mobile app. The UniHealth member app makes it easy to submit extras claims by uploading a photo of your receipt. The app is available for Apple and Android devices.
- Online. You can lodge a claim for the following extras services through the UniHealth Online Member Services area: Acupuncture, chiropractic, complementary therapies, remedial massage, optical, physiotherapy and podiatry.
- By mail. You can download a claim form from the UniHealth website. Once the form has been completed, you can send it along with your invoice or receipt to UniHealth, GPO Box 9812, Sydney NSW 2001.
- In person. Completed claim forms and invoices or receipts can be lodged in person at a Member Care Centre located at a Teachers Health Centre.
- Via email. Finally, you can also send your completed claim form and invoice via email to firstname.lastname@example.com
If you receive a bill for hospital services from your doctor or specialist:
- If the doctor or specialist participates in UniHealth's Access Gap Cover scheme, the bill will be sent directly to UniHealth
- If the doctor or specialist does not participate in the Access Gap Cover scheme, you will need to take the bill to Medicare for processing before UniHealth can pay a benefit.

|fileset with multiple source directories?
|Mon, 12 May 2003 18:44:04 GMT
I have a property that contains a colon separated list of base directories for sending to javac so that it will compile from multiple source directories. Now I need to copy any properties or xml files from each and every one of those source directories to the build directory. However, Filesets can only point to a single source directory the the copy fails with the source directory given to the Fileset is this colon separated list of source directories. Is there any way to do what I need without resorting to ant-contrib <foreach> and things like that? So, I have.... in build.properties... contrib.path=contrib src.contrib.projects=${contrib.path}/rollbackWithMementoPattern \ :${contrib.path}/jxpath \ :${contrib.path}/socketServer/client \ :${contrib.path}/socketServer/common \ :${contrib.path}/socketServer/example \ :${contrib.path}/socketServer/server \ :${contrib.path}/btree in build.xml... <target name="compile.contrib" depends="download.contrib.dependencies, compile.core" description="Compile contrib sources" > <antcall target="-compile.sub"> <param name="srcdir" value="${src.contrib.projects}" /> <param name="includes" value="**/*.java" /> <param name="excludes" value="**/old**/**" /> </antcall> </target> <target name="-compile.sub" if="srcdir" > <javac srcdir="${srcdir}" destdir="${build.home}" includes="${includes}" excludes="${excludes}" debug="${build.debug}" deprecation="${build.deprecation}" optimize="${build.optimize}" verbose="${build.verbose}"> <classpath refid="build.classpath" /> </javac> <!-- Copy application resources --> <copy todir="${build.home}" > <fileset dir="${srcdir}" excludes="${excludes}" includes="**/*.properties, **/*.ini, **/*.character-sets, **/*.dtd, **/*.xsd, **/*.*ml" /> </copy> </target> Obviously the <copy task will fail because the fileset gets a ${srcdir} property containing a colon separated list of source directories. Can someone think of a nifty way of using <pathconvert> or something like that to do what I need here? Is there another approach that will work? Again, if it involves ant-contrib stuff, I can figure out how to do that just fine. I'm just looking for a pure ant solution. I want to know whether it is possible or not before I give up on Ant proper here. thanks, Jake

Last year the Festival of Voices unplugged itself from its city base thrilling audiences the breadth of Tasmania's stunning East Coast. A joint initiative between organisers of the Festival of Voices and Glamorgan Spring Bay Council, the inaugural event was a resounding success, so much so that it is once again heading East in July from 17th – 19th bringing with it a sensational smorgasbord of musical talent.
The Bush land Gardens at Buckland again kicks off the festival with an open air concert featuring ARIA award winning singer Deborah Conway who has been nominated Rolling Stone singer of the year and who has made a significant contribution to Australian music over the years. She will be working in collaboration with Willy Zygier – a seductive and thought provoking composer. Together (and apart) they have composed and recorded more than a dozen albums, including their most recent release 'Stories of Ghosts' that received 4 star reviews from major Australian publications. Acoustic based folk both haunting and evocative. Unmissable. When: Friday 17th July from 6-8.30pm.

I've been very lucky ... both as an author and as a parent. My 5 books on Amazon are doing well. I get nice royalty checks ... not enough to live off of yet, but still people are buying my books. As a parent, my son is healthy and way too smart for his own good. Although there are ups and downs, my life is more than I ever expected it to.
Others aren't as lucky. The company I work for, Daymon Worldwide, uses the month of September to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year I had an idea, donate some of the profits from my one book to that organization. I was able to sell 300 books and sent in a check for $300.
This year I hope to do even better. I have five books on Amazon and should be able to pass that $300 mark quite easily.
But I still ask for your help. So come on over to my website, www.PhilipNork.com and buy any of my books, either a paperback or a Kindle edition and I'll make a donation. Even if you don't read, buy a book anyway and donate it your local library or women's shelter or anywhere else that could use it. That way you're helping two ways ... someone gets a book and Make-A-Wish gets the needed donation that they deserve.
Here is a picture of my flyer ... feel free to share this post with any of your friends through e-mail or on Facebook or Twitter or however!

Phishing is one of the most common attack vectors for hackers who exploit end-user behaviour as the weakest link in an organisations cyber-defense. For years, criminals have disguised attacks in emails and today we see phishing emails as a primary delivery method for ransomware payloads. Phishing emails have led to massive data exposures, which caused major reputational and financial damage in the private and public sector over the last few years. As cybercriminals continue to prey on employees through their technology, they are always taking measures to be one step ahead. In an organisation all it takes is one employee to take the bait.
Today's phishing attacks are so prevalent and so convincing across organisations. What started off as simply "phishing" has now developed into three branches of attacks: the classics, mass phishing and spear phishing, and the recently emerging trend of Business Email Compromise tactic acting as a subset of spear phishing. Business Email...(continued)


text: A little while back I was commissioned to shoot reportage around Somerset House during London Fashion Week. There is so much drama unfolding outside the catwalk, it's rammed full of characters and much more interesting than being on the inside. As Men's Fashion Week draws to a close this week, I thought I would work on an edit and post up some of the unused shots. Hopefully they capture the furor during London Fashion Week - the good, the bad and the bizarre.

The product testing is at full tilt down here at IBB headquarters thanks to that jam-packed gift bag I received at the CEW Awards Demo last week. The latest subject of inspection was Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, and with a name like that, how could it not be among one of the first to get put to the test?
Honestly, it can be hard to get really excited over a mascara—unless one really stands out among the competition—but this one is a true winner. Just one coat yields dramatic length and unsurpassed lash separation, which is always a must for any mascara I use. A second coat visibly boosts lash thickness (which is a must for a night out on the town), and although I haven't gone for three coats yet, I hear it's a mind-blowing experience.
For someone who rarely buys prestige mascaras (since I always have so many samples floating around), I'm going to add this to my list of products to buy for when I find myself in need of a mascara that I'll have no problem committing to.

Feedback In Action
The double decker buses were bought in as a result of student's feedback and particularly those who regularly travel between campuses. We are happy to take on student's feedback and make the bus journey a more pleasant experience.
The capacity of bus seats has been increased as more student and staff members continue to travel between campuses. During peak times the old buses used to get over crammed, however this will not be the case anymore as the vehicle seats 98 people (45 top deck and 29 bottom deck) with room for 24 standing!
The seats are very comfortable and there is more leg room compared to the old buses. The bus is warm and cosy as it has heated seats which are beneficial in the winter.
Some of main new features taken on board are USB ports and WIFI. Waking up in the morning to low battery on your mobile phone or tablet can be annoying, although now there is no need to worry as you can charge your device during your journey! WIFI will keep you entertained during and you can access emails on the go, read presentations before lectures, prepare notes, read the news, etc.

Self build log cabins with interlocking logs means there is no need to drill or cut anything because these logs cabin kits come pre-cut ready making the assembly of these building an easier process with little waste or mess.
Constructed the interlocking logs that generally interlock at the corners by using pre-cut mortises which maximize the stability and create a much firmer and sturder wall this interlocking is based upon the same principle a tongue and grove connection.
Most log cabin manufactures offer you a choice of the sized logs you want your wall thickness to be, but remember the thinner the log the more insulation you will need to add for this cabin to be used all year round.

Less Intensive Hodgkin's Chemo Works Better
The modified-intensity groups came out noninferior for the primary endpoint of 5-year freedom from treatment failure compared with the usual eight-cycle escalated BEACOPP regimen.
Results were similar for progression-free survival.
But a post-hoc analysis of time to progression suggested the 2-week cycle regimen wasn't as effective as the six-cycle regimen, with a 5-year time to progression of 87.7% versus 92.6% with eight cycles (P=0.016).
The shorter cycles also didn't improve overall survival.
The lower mortality rate with the six-cycle group - at 4.6% versus 5.2% with the shorter eight-cycle regimen and 7.5% with the longer eight-cycle regimen - appeared to be mainly due to fewer treatment-related events and secondary cancers.
Anemia rates were similar between groups, but the group given eight cycles every two weeks had somewhat less leukopenia (70% versus about 90% in both other groups) and 2 to 3 times less thrombocytopenia.
On the other hand, neurotoxic effects and pulmonary toxic effects occurred more frequently with the accelerated-dosing group.
Overall, "the therapy-related death rate reported with six cycles of escalated BEACOPP compared favourably with ABVD at less than 1%," the commentary pointed out.
Secondary malignancies occurred at a rate of 3.4% overall, similar to the roughly 3% rate previously reported for ABVD, the researchers noted.
The secondary cancer rate was higher, though, in the eight-cycle group on a 3-week schedule compared with the six-cycle group (P=0.02).
The number of secondary acute myeloid leukemias or myelodysplastic syndromes was lowest - at two - with the six-cycle group, eight with the eight-cycle regimen every 2 weeks, and 19 for the other eight-cycle group (P=0.0001 versus six cycles).
Fewer patients receiving additional radiotherapy due to PET scan guidance - just 11% compared with over 70% in a prior trial with escalated BEACOPP - would also be expected to result in fewer second solid tumors, the researchers noted.
The negative predictive value for PET at 12 months was 94.1%, supporting it as a prognostic tool in determining therapy, the group added.
Casasnovas and Coiffier suggested that a PET scan after the first two cycles of therapy could be useful or identifying candidates for de-escalation to ABVD, although further research will be needed to figure out which patients need less than six cycles of escalated BEACOPP.
The study was funded by Deutsche Krebshilfe and the Swiss Federal Government.
The researchers and commentators reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Writing a custom check macro for the BOOST test library
In this article I demonstrate how to write your own check macros for the boost test library (not guaranteed to work in the future)
Full source code for this example can be downloaded here.
The problem
For the purposes of this article I would like to verify that a collection is monotonically increasing. There are a couple ways I can do this. The first is to just do it inline in every test:
... if(begin != end){ IteratorType previous = begin; IteratorType current = begin; current++; for(;current != end; current++){ BOOST_CHECK_LT(*previous, *current); } } ...
This approach is tedious and does not generate good error messages. Each failure generates an independent error message that doesn't give any context such as the collection being checked or the index at which the error was found.
The second approach is to make a function:
template bool check_monotonically_increasing(Iterator begin, Iterator end){ ... } ... ITOS_CHECK(check_monotonically_increasing(begin, end));
This approach is less tedious, but now the error message only tells you the check failed without any context as to where and why. So clearly what we really want here is something like BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS.
The solution is to define a set of macros called FTM_*_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE that can be used as follows:
... FTM_CHECK_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE(begin, end); ...
Where are the BOOST_* macros?
All of the code I looked at to create my own MACRO was located in boost/test_tools.hpp . This is the best place to start looking when you want to write your own.
Defining Your Test as a Functor
The first step to defining a custom test macro is to implement it as a functor. If you do now know what a functor is please refer to this article.
In this case, the functor must return a value of the type
predicate_result combines a Boolean status with, when appropriate, an error message that will be displayed on failure.
namespace fm{namespace test{namespace detail{ struct check_mono_increase_func_frwd{ template<typename ForwardIteratorA, typename ForwardIteratorB> boost::test_tools::predicate_result operator()(ForwardIteratorA begin, ForwardIteratorB end) const{ boost::test_tools::predicate_result result = true; std::size_t pos = 0; if(begin == end) return result; ForwardIteratorA previous = begin; ForwardIteratorA current = begin; current++; while(current != end){ if(*previous > *current){ result = false; result.message() << "\n(position: " << pos << "): "; result.message() << *previous << " > " << *current; } previous = current; current++; pos++; } return result; } }; }}}
Creating Your Macros
If you look in test_tools.hpp there are a number of different macros used to implement the various check macros. The key to this step is finding an example that is close to what you want and modifying it. BOOST_* macros are the most straight forward and BOOST_*_EXCEPTION and BOOST_*_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS provide examples of performing more complicated tasks.
In this case I'm going to essentially copy BOOST_*_EQUALS as follows:
#define FTM_WARN_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE(Begin, End) \ BOOST_CHECK_WITH_ARGS_IMPL(::ftm::test::detail::check_mono_increase_func_frwd(), \ "FTM_WARN_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE", \ WARN, CHECK_PRED_WITH_ARGS, (Begin)(End)); #define FTM_CHECK_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE(Begin, End) \ BOOST_CHECK_WITH_ARGS_IMPL(::ftm::test::detail::check_mono_increase_func_frwd(), "FTM_CHECK_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE", \ CHECK, CHECK_PRED_WITH_ARGS, (Begin)(End)); #define FTM_REQUIRE_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE(Begin, End) \ BOOST_CHECK_WITH_ARGS_IMPL(::ftm::test::detail::check_mono_increase_func_frwd(), "FTM_REQUIRE_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE", \ REQUIRE, CHECK_PRED_WITH_ARGS, (Begin)(End));
Using the Macro
Now we can simply use the FTM macros like we'd use any of the BOOST test macros
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_increase){ int test_array[] = {1,2,3,67,32,17,44,12}; FTM_CHECK_COLLECTION_MONO_INCREASE(test_array, test_array + 8); }
Final Thoughts
It's worth noting that although adding your own boost test library macro can make unit tests a lot easier to write for your development team, the API doesn't give me a lot of confidence that it was intended to be extended in this manner. I'm not sure what guarantee there is, if any, that what works in this release will work in the next.

Meet the Company Buiding AOL's Micro Data Centers
By Derrick Harris
Elliptical Mobile Solutions is hardly a household name in the data center world, but don't bet against it becoming one. The Chandler, Ariz.-based company that started inside a founder's garage builds one of the world's smallest data centers and has already secured some big-name customers including,most famously, AOL. While bigger data centers seem to be better for webscale companies such as Google and Facebook, many are happy to grow on a lot smaller scale — about 105 cubic feet at a time.lar and mobile space to provide fast growth.

The journey from Chiang Mai to Pai is infamous for making people puke due to its merciless number of bends. Altogether there are 726 bends on this 3-hour journey. Upon arrival, t-shirts and certificates are available for sale as souvenirs for completing the vomit-inducing journey.
I have read on travel blogs that some travellers chose to drive up to Pai on their own cars and scooters so that they get to enjoy the views during the journey, however if you are unfamiliar with driving on uneven mountainous terrain, you can always choose to take the bus.
There is only one bus operator monopolizing the entire route from Chiang Mai to Pai. Tickets are priced at $6 per passenger for each way, which is already pretty steep for Thai standards. Prepare your vomit bags because out of the 12 people in my van, there were at least 3 who vomited at different instances during the journey.
Regardless of how you make your way to Pai, I would say that the journey is well worth it. Pai is a little village city on its own that has seen recent developments to accommodate the sudden influx of tourists. Various resorts and establishments have started running business, together with vehicle rentals because there is absolutely no public transport available in Pai.
I got us a reliable Yamaha Fino scooter because it was only $6 a day. I pumped a full tank of petrol for another $4.
I guess we were lucky that the weather was kind to us because you obviously won't be able to explore much when it rains.
There were plenty of tour operators that are able to speak English and Mandarin, but if you would like to save a few hundred baht, just do your own research online and you can find a few reliable Thai operators.
Most tour agents charge between 1000 to 1600 baht for this bamboo rafting experience, however we managed to get it for 800 baht. The ride itself took about an hour or so.
I was pretty amazed at how the bamboo doesn't sink. I am no genius about physics or density, but I think the hollow tubes of the bamboos play a part in keeping the raft afloat.
Scooting our way around Pai, we made our way to Coffee In Love. It was about a 15-min ride out of town. The cafe was a perfect spot to catch the sun rise, however we weren't early birds so when we arrived, the sun was already waiting for us.
The morning breeze was really cold though. I guess we were both caught offguard so the morning rides to and fro were rather chilly.
We didn't get to spend much time in Pai, but from my experience living in Thailand, Pai does seem like a nice and quaint little village to retire for now, but in years to come, the blooming tourism industry is going to change this town a lot.

There were only eight survivors after the Boeing 737-800, with 166 people on board including crew, appeared to have skidded off the runway in rain at Mangalore airport in Karnataka state, Air India director Anup Srivastava said.
All the passengers were Indian nationals, an Air India official in Dubai said.
Air India Express is the budget arm of the loss making state-run carrier Air India, which has been fending off growing competition from private airlines. First indications are that the crash was an accident, officials say.
Television channels said the plane crashed around 6:30 am local time. TV images showed it struck a forested area. Flames were seen blazing from the wreckage as rescue workers fought to bring the fire under control.
"The plane had broken into two. I jumped out of the plane after it crashed. I saw two other people also come out," Abdullah, a survivor from the plane, told local channel TV9 from the hospital.
"There was a tyre-burst kind of noise. I tried to get out of the front but saw that there was a big fire. So I went back again and jumped out from there."
It was India's first major crash in more than a decade, which has seen a boom in private carriers amid growing demand from India's middle class.
A series of near misses at major airports, including Delhi and Mumbai, have sparked debate about how India's creaking infrastructure was failing to keep pace with an economic boom.
Charred Bodies
One television channel showed a fireman carrying what seemed to be the remains of a child. Charred bodies lay in the forested terrain.
"The flight had already landed. There was slight rain. The flight skidded off," witness Mohiuddin Bava told CNN-IBN channel. "After that it caught fire. Villagers, everyone there, came to rescue."
The last major crash in India was in July, 2000, when an Alliance Air Boeing 737-200 crashed into a residential area during a second landing attempt in the eastern city of Patna, killing at least 50 people.
With growing competition from private carriers, the Indian government agreed to infuse $1.1 billion into loss-making Air India if the ailing state-run carrier found the same amount in cost cuts and extra revenue.
The airline lost $875 million in the fiscal year ended March 2009.
Hundreds of Air India pilots went on strike in September 2009 to protest management plans to cut pay incentives. The strike was called off when aviation minister Praful Patel said the grievances would be dealt with.

You can add third-party identity providers as an application source in the Workspace ONE catalog to simplify the deployment of large numbers of applications from the third-party identity provider to Workspace ONE. Adding an identity provider as an application source streamlines the process of adding individual applications from that provider to the end-user catalog. To begin, entitle the ALL_USERS group to the application source and select an access policy to apply.
Web applications that use the SAML 2.0 authentication profile can be added to the catalog. The application configuration is based on the settings configured in the application source. Only the application name and the target URL are required to be configured.
When you add applications, you can entitle specific users and groups and apply an access policy to control user access to the application. Users can access these applications in Workspace ONE from their desktops and mobile devices.
The configured settings and policies from the third-party application source can be applied to all applications managed by the application source. Sometimes, third-party identity providers send an authentication request without including which application a user is trying to access. If VMware Identity Manager receives an authentication request that does not include the application information, the backup access policy rules configured in the application source are applied rather than the rule set for the user's application.
The following identity providers can be configured as application sources in the Workspace ONE catalog.

I am always looking for new crafty idea's, and home decor is an area that I love to focus on. Naturally, during the Holiday season this past year I wanted to come up with something simple yet pretty to craft up. I also wanted it to have multipurpose so that it can be changed and used to match the season.
My boyfriends mother actually found this idea on Pinterest, so we decided to give it a try. DIY Mason Jar Vases. She chose to do a Christmas version, and I decided to try something that could be interchangeable. We were both very happy with the outcome of our project, it took very little time, preparation and money.
Here is what you need;
- A Mason Jar – You can find these virtually anywhere from the grocery store, the dollar store or even in Nonna's pantry
- Chalk Paint – Most websites suggested that we get a more expensive paint from a craft store, but I went to Walmart and picked up the Chalk Paint they had there and it worked just fine. The paint was a bit thicker than the premium product, but that just meant that you don't need as many coats
- A paint brush/sponge- Medium size worked best
- Finishing Wax – I also bought the one from Walmart for this
- Sand Paper- This is what you will use to give the jar a distressed look
- Clean Cloth- You would use the clean clothe to put the wax on after you have painted and sanded the jar
- a box or piece of wood – You can really use anything. Julia used old barn board and cut it down to make it a box and I just used a small piece of barn board as a "platter" to showcase my mason jars
- Decor- Depending on the season that you want to use your jars for, gather the appropriate decor. For example, Christmas Jars could use Cranberries, twigs, holy, bells and twine. For a summer jar you can get real or fake flowers and greenry
Below you can see what I chose. Now picture these filled with beautiful flowers and greenery, put it in the middle of the table and use it as a center piece.
Hope you enjoy my craft as much as I do! Until next time….
Donna Marie ❤

It's the weekend! Did anyone have a rough Monday following daylight savings? It took me until Wednesday to feel less-exhausted than usual. Especially around 2 pm, when I needed a coffee to power through the second half of the day. The flip side of daylight savings I had a burst of energy with the extra hour of sunshine! I found myself with a surge of energy and motivation not typically seen during the winter months.
Here are a few finds that kept me awake during those mid-day slumps this week. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My husband and I were in Dublin in November.
Here's a Dublin find to kick off the weekending.
Looking for fun spring quotes to welcome the season? Check a few here and make your own printables.
I didn't make a printable this week, but for a few dollars, I made this. Leave a comment and I'll send you the details.
I am addicted to my little investment app on my phone. I attached my checking/debit card to this investment app and it automatically rounds up to the next dollar. Last year, I saved over $1000 with "roundups" from everyday expenses. Jean Chatzky has mentioned it on the Today Show. Get the details here.
Looking for a snack idea? Check out this moose munch recipe.
I am in love with this home office remodel. It looks like a commercial office space.
I love these decor tips from a popular blogger.
And, here's my DIY on my son's bedroom closet barn doors.

A Current Affair (1993)
This is one of the first interviews Olivia did after finishing her treatment for cancer. Conducted at Olivia's old Malibu ranch in the hills Olivia appeared health and happy. The interview was shown over two nights.
A cute 7 year old Chloe arrived with a few friends and did a funny walk for the camera. She said hi to the interviewer and Olivia tells her to look the person in the face when talking to them.
Olivia is asked about the rumour that she is a lesbian. She first heard this during her Physical 1982 tour when a 10 year old girl came up to her and said "my daddy says you're a lesbian." She's amused that this is the "worst" rumour that they could come up with and that she doesn't care about people's sexuality.
They talk about Olivia's decision to sell her Malibu home with Olivia saying that "change is good." Olivia wants to spend half the time in Australia, half in America. She says that she was a Pommie in Australia and Australia in America but maybe now they'll accept her as Australian. The interviewer thinks that most people don't know that she was born in England and Olivia jokes "don't tell anyone." The interview ends with Olivia's words of wisdom "be true to yourself and live in the moment"

|Issue Date:
|CIB W070 International Conference on Facilities Management, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 13-15 September, 2010, p. 559-570 How to cite?
|Air-conditioned offices in the subtropics are recommended to operate within specified ranges of indoor temperature, relative humidity and air velocity as a consequence of thermal energy conservation. As thermal discomfort leads to productivity loss, air-conditioned offices conducted with some indoor environmental policies for Hong Kong are investigated in this study with relation to thermal energy consumption and productivity loss due to thermal discomfort. Thermal environment in over 1000 air-conditioned Grade-A offices with some indoor environmental policies of Hong Kong being carried out is investigated. Occupant thermal response is specifically considered as an adaptive factor in evaluating the energy consumption and productivity loss. The results provide quantitative means for an environment policy regarding impacts on occupant thermal comfort and worker productivity as an important factor in determining the office environmental efficiency. The model parameters are not exhaustive, with assumptions made for the thermal comfort of occupants in offices in the subtropical areas and have only been determined from recent studies in Hong Kong, which perhaps will limit the model's usefulness elsewhere. This study is a useful reference source for evaluating an indoor thermal environmental policy regarding the energy consumption, thermal comfort and productivity loss in air-conditioned offices in the subtropical areas.

Red jacket means much to new Cards Hall of Famer
ST. LOUIS -- Ted Simmons will never forget the feeling of putting on the St. Louis Cardinals red Hall of Fame jacket.
"I've never been to Augusta [at the Masters] and put on the green one, but [Phil] Mickelson has never been to St. Louis and put on the red one either," Simmons said. "I've got a feeling it's pretty close."View Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- Ted Simmons will never forget the feeling of putting on the St. Louis Cardinals red Hall of Fame jacket.
"I've never been to Augusta [at the Masters] and put on the green one, but [Phil] Mickelson has never been to St. Louis and put on the red one either," Simmons said. "I've got a feeling it's pretty close."View Full Game Coverage
Simmons, George Kissell, Curt Flood and Bob Forsch were all inducted into the Cardinals' Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Simmons, the only living member of this year's class, was the greatest offensive catcher in Cardinals history, playing for St. Louis from 1968-1980. He was named to six All-Star Games, caught two no-hitters and set a National League record with 182 home runs as a switch-hitter.
"All the history is really centered around four places -- Brooklyn-L.A. Dodgers, the New York-San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals," Simmons said. "They've got all the Hall of Famers, they've got all the pennants, and those four places are huge. So when any one of them -- in this case the Cardinals with all their history -- embraces you and brings you forward and lifts you up along with their fan base, it's huge. It's bigger than life."
Kissell never took a Major League at-bat for the Cardinals, but he has influenced every player who came through the organization since 1940. A Minor League player, scout and coach, he spent 66 years with the organization and is widely credited for establishing "the Cardinal Way" of playing baseball.
"He lived by the motto, 'Come early, work hard, stay late and you'll stick around,'" said Dr. Richard Kissell on behalf of his late father.
Former player and longtime Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon had to fight back his emotions when talking about Kissell. Shannon spoke about Kissell's way of simplifying the game and his legacy.
Richard Kissell said it was more than just teaching the game for his father.
"He taught his students respect, honesty, loyalty and responsibility and on the way how to play baseball," Richard Kissell said. "He started keeping notes and stats in the 1940's. He was very unusual in that he was never too old to learn a new or better way and used it as long as the statistics supported it."
Flood played for the Cardinals from 1958-1969. The center fielder won seven consecutive Gold Gloves, two World Series championships and hit over .300 six times.
Flood is more known for his departure from St. Louis, in which he refused to accept a trade to the Philadelphia Phillies. The refusal effectively ended Flood's career, but paved the way for modern free agency.
"When he stood, he stood for everyone who could not stand," Shelly Flood said of her father. "The barriers of race and class and colors were broken, and a single principle emerged to define the problem -- the system wasn't fair. It took courage and values, but it also took sacrifice. It also took a toll on him."
Flood's former teammate, Lou Brock, said that Flood was perhaps equally as good defensively as Willie Mays.
Brock said, "Forty-five years ago, Curt took a stand against baseball and he was out of the game for 45 years. ... This year, 45 years later, he has now been welcomed back to baseball."
Forsch pitched for the Cardinals from 1974-88. He started more than 30 games in 10 seasons and retired with the third-most wins (163) and innings pitched (2,658) in franchise history.
Forsch is the only Cardinal to throw two no-hitters. He pitched in three World Series and helped lead St. Louis to a championship in 1982.
"Bob was one of the greatest teammates that I ever played with," former teammate Bruce Sutter said. "His dry sense of humor that kept everybody humble was one of the things I remember most about Bob."
Aside from the red jackets, each inductee was presented with a plaque, and a video montage of each was played before they spoke.
"They do it up right and it's real," Simmons said. "They want fans and the inductees to know that this is a big deal, and when those inductees go in, put that jacket on, you realize what's happening. This is not small potatoes."

airplane ride
Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2009 1:52 pm
A man finds himself sitting next to the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen on an airplane. He attempts to break the ice: "Flying for business or pleasure?" She responds: "Business - I'm a keynote speaker at the Nymphomaniac's Convention. I'll be talking about common myths about sexuality. For instance, it is said that black men are the most well-endowed, when in fact, it is Native Americans. And they say Frenchmen are the best lovers, but actually it is Jewish men. And, as it turns out, the men with the most sexual stamina are Southern Rednecks. But I'm sorry, here I am talking, and I never even asked your name." The man replies: "Tonto... Tonto Goldstein. But my friends call me Bubba!"

Signing-up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Here's our full Advertising Policy.
Via Wandering Aramean, you can book United Airlines round-trip coach award flights within the US for 20% fewer miles! There are no official details on this sale from United Airlines. So act quickly because the sale probably won't last long!
Within the continental US, you'll pay 20,000 United Airlines miles for a round-trip coach ticket, which normally costs 25,000 United Airlines miles.
Or pay 28,000 United Airlines miles for round-trip flights to Alaska, which normally cost 35,000 United Airlines miles.
I'll explain the deal!
What's the Deal?
Link: United Airlines
Link: How to Navigate the New United.com Award Calendar
Link: The Ultimate Guide to United Airlines Miles
United Airlines is offering a 20% discount on domestic, round-trip coach award tickets. There are conditions:
- Discount is valid for round-trip tickets only
- Only coach saver award tickets are discounted
- Not valid for peak travel dates
With this sale, for round-trip saver award flights you'll pay:
- 16,000 United Airlines miles for flights less than 700 miles
- 20,000 United Airlines miles for flights within the continental US
- 28,000 United Airlines miles for flights to Alaska
- 36,000 United Airlines miles for flights to Hawaii
I found discounts on travel dates through December 2016.
For example, I found a round-trip, non-stop flight departing Newark on October 24, 2016, and returning from Honolulu on October 31, 2016, for 36,000 United Airlines miles. This flight normally costs 45,000 United Airlines miles.
This is a nice discount! But keep in mind, folks on the West Coast can fly to Hawaii for even less (25,000 British Airways Avios points).
Or I found a round-trip, non-stop flight departing Houston on October 2, 2016, and returning from Chicago on October 6, 2016, for 20,000 United Airlines miles. The cheapest you'd normally find is 25,000 United Airlines miles.
Looking for More United Airlines Miles?
Link: Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
Link: United MileagePlus® Explorer Card
Remember, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to United Airlines at a 1:1 ratio if you have cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Ink Plus small business card. Or soon with the highly anticipated Chase Sapphire Reserve card!
You could also consider the United MileagePlus Explorer card, which gets you a free checked bag on United Airlines flights when you use the card to pay for your ticket.
Just remember, Chase now has stricter approval rules. So if you've opened ~5 or more credit cards from any bank (excluding certain business cards) in the past 24 months, it's unlikely you'll be approved for most Chase cards.
Let me know if you book this deal!

From some guy at the world cup
Well, it's all over; and what an outcome.
So, Mario Deslauriers, from an almost impenetrable lead going into the final round, took far too many rails to count (3 I think) throughout the course, maybe a time fault as well (I lost track) and finished in 6th place in the overall standings. It was a dreadful finish which cost him not only the victory, but almost €50k. With the price of things here in Switzerland, he could probably have used the spare change; however, it would have been tough to cash as there is a dearth (none at last count) of bank machines at this Credit Suisse sponsored event. Odd you say – and I concur.
In fact, he was the top placing North American rider, our Karen Cudmore placing 35th overall after her disappointing elimination in round deux. So, no U.S. riders placed in the top 5. Quite disappointing and they must now be looking forward to the World Equestrian Games this fall in Kentucky. I know I am.
The surprise victor (to me, and I think maybe to him also) was three time FEI World Cup winner Marcus Ehning riding Plot Blue. He was in a strong position coming into the final round, but it was more Mario's undoing than Marcus's spectacle. In fact, it was an uneventful, clear and crisp run. On the winners podium, the tied for second place riders lifted the (luckily, fairly small) man in the air and almost dropped him from the top step of the rostrum. No protective headgear – that would hurt.
Apparently tied for second (wasn't made that clear at the awards ceremony), Ludger Beerbaum and home town favorite and current #1 ranked rider Pius Schwitzer. Yes, the crowd went wild for Pius.
Also not that clear was the final round absence of Swiss rider Daniel Etter. He was near the top of the order in the final round, never showed, no comment. Hmmm, Swiss precision is becoming a bit oxymoronic to me.
In post game comments, they all commented on the great organization of the event, and the fairness and well-designed course layout – which pleased designer Rolf Ludi, I'm sure.
Little mention of McLain (one question asked), and small banner (FEI Steals Sapphire's World Cup – Good Luck to All Competitors) protest during the event. The FEI released another page last night indicating that McLain had lodged an "urgent appeal", which had been summarily declined by the FEI Tribunal. I'm sure the Chicago and New York lawyers are working late.
Other notable finishers included Portuguese rider and first timer world cupper Luciana Diniz who was positioned for a top three finish, but took a rail in the final round. And Australian Chris Chugg and his pirouetting Vivant. A 7th place solid finish which might be the highest world placing for an Aussie rider – ever?? Nice ride, and a crowd pleaser too.
It's been total fun, a highly competitive week, great riding on great horses, some intrigue.
Back to Karen. Au Revoir.
