Health care is costly. A large portion of Americans who go each year to see doctors may receive treatment for their health complications, but often leave with dire financial complications.
A report released by the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that conducts independent research on health and social issues, finds that even though more Americans now have health insurance, many still avoid seeing doctors because of high out-of-pocket expenses.
An underinsured individual is defined as having annual out-of-pocket medical expenses equal to 10 percent or more of household income, or equal to 5 percent or more of household income if gross earnings fall 200 percent below the federal poverty level ($22,980 for an individual and $47,100 for a family of four). Additionally, those with deductibles equal to 5 percent or more of household income are considered underinsured
Because of high health insurance deductibles, approximately 23 percent of Americans ages 19 to 64 were considered underinsured. This is equivalent to 31 million people who can't fill essential prescriptions or forego necessary medical treatment because of costs.
Additionally, the rates of underinsurance among Americans who receive health benefits through their employers climbed from 10% in 2003 to 20% through 2014, according to the report. Individuals insured through Medicaid also have a difficult time paying bills, with 22% of beneficiaries underinsured in 2014- with the highest rates among the disabled, a population that needs the most medical care.
Nearly half of underinsured reported having to use their savings to pay their bills and 44% said they had received lower credit ratings because of medical bills. A third of the underinsured reported taking on credit card debt to pay for uncovered health care costs, and 7 percent declared bankruptcy as a result of medical bills.
Good Neighbor Rx looks to address issues found in the study , that reports 25% of underinsured adults with at least one chronic condition did not fill a prescription or skipped doses due to cost. Currently, the average Good Neighbor Rx user saves $82 per prescription filled with a high savings of $373 per prescription filled.
While drug discount programs like Good Neighbor Rx are great at helping individuals find affordable prescriptions, more sweeping healthcare change is still needed. Policy makers, physicians, hospitals, etc. should work together to address the holes in health plans that cover our 31 millions underinsured Americans.

Three days ago, I got my hands on the HTC Trophy 7 running Windows Phone 7. Until now, I played occasionally with Android, but never used a smartphone.
Here's a list of things I'd like to do on the smartphone:
- Transfer the contacts from the old Nokia phone
- Listen to music and audio books from the local collection
- Read books from Flibusta
In the process, I'd rather not to reveal too much personal information to Microsoft. The wishlist looks simple, huh? Let's see what I managed to do.
Transfer the contacts from the old Nokia phone
I approached the contacts synchronisation in a stupid way, I agree. Knowing that the smartphone is a powerful Windows computer which can probably do whatever a desktop does, I exported the contacts using the Nokia PC Suite to a vCards file, and started looking for ways to import them into my Windows phone . It turned out that it is impossible. A workaround would be to import the contacts into the Google account or the Windows Live ID account using another smartphone, and then to log in under from the same account from the new phone, but I had no smartphone previously, and wanted to avoid sharing the contacts on Windows Live ID, anyway.
Luckily, my old Nokia phone could export all the contacts to the SIM card, so I just ended up doing that, and imported the contacts from SIM on the Windows phone. I lost some extra fields that existed on the Nokia phone, but that was not substantial. I remember importing contacts from an old Nokia phone to an Android phone a few months ago. Android suggested to connect to the Nokia phone via Bluetooth and transferred all the contacts wirelessly, after pairing the devices. It took me 5 minutes back then, well over 1 hour now.
Verdict: importing contacts is hard and you are likely to loose bits of information in the process.
Listen to music and audio books from the local collection
It did not come as a surprise that Windows Phone 7 enforces Zune, a Microsoft counterpart of iTunes to copy files to the phone. I have no clue what iTunes looks like, but the UI of Zune is fairly basic. I could index my audio collection, but navigating it turned out to be close to impossible. I never cared about the correctness of the tags, so the files came out ugly in Zune. There was apparently no way to navigate the collection using the file hierarchy, as I used to do, so locating the music turned out to be painfully difficult. Some of my mp3s still have tags ID3v1 tags in windows-cp1251 encoding, which Zune displayed with question marks.
Oh, just a side note. After I connected my phone to the PC and started Zune, it asked for an update, then took 15 min to do the update, rebooting the phone along the way, then asked for another update-reboot-wait cycle. I did not wait for the last update to end and went for a sleep. Luckily, the update did not ask questions and I had an updated phone in the morning.
Verdict: barely usable unless you kept your ID3v2 (not ID3v1!) tags in perfect order. No way to navigate the file structure from Zune.
Read books from Flibusta
Flibusta provides downloadable texts in .fb2, .epub or .mobi formats. The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is tiny compared to Google market, but I found one free ebook reader called Freda that is able to read .epub files. Buried down in the UI ofr Freda, there is a Website page that allows to paste an URL in the text box. The same page also embeds Internet Explorer. I figured that the text box shall be used to download .epub document to the device. However, pasting a url to an .epub file distributed by Flibusta did not work. I tried another ebook reader, called iSilo. It was a very usable and feature-rich program on my old Palm TT, but it could not open my .epub file either.
An inspection of the HTTP session between the browser and Flibusta allowed to pinpoint a problem. Flibusta issues two HTTP 302 redirects: one to insure that the .fb2 document is converted to .epub and the other to compresses the .epub document, if needed. The Internet Explorer used in Windows Phone 7 did not want to follow the redirects, but typing manually the url given in the last redirect in the Freda search box worked.
Verdict: Epic failure. I had to use my software engineering skills before I understood how to download an ebook to the phone, and that was a real pain.
Bonus: Privacy considerations
Just like Android, Windows Phone 7 is less usable if you do not log in with you Windows Live ID. You can not get to the Marketplace, you can not go to XBox Live, etc. Once you log in, all your contacts are synchronized with the Windows Live ID, and you will be able to remotely activate Location services for your phone and track its location, block it or reset it to factory defaults. If the phone is provided by an employer, the employer can order a reset of your phone to factory defaults at any time via a corporate account web interface. I did not try the GPS navigation yet, but it apparently requires to enable Location services in order to operate.
I read the Windows® Phone 7 Privacy Statement and is clearly wins over the Android Privacy Policy. The later is way too generic, while the Windows® Phone 7 Privacy Statement covers real-world use-cases and provides useful information to customers.
Verdict: Slightly better than the other two vendors.
I bought a Desire S smartphone a little more than 2 months ago, but did not have a chance to really use it, yet. It came with an elusive and odd bug. The touch screen stopped responding once in a while. This could occur any time, but seemed to happen less frequently after 5-10 minutes of active use.
The first time I sent the phone to repair, it came back with flashed ROM, but the problem stayed.
The second time I sent the phone for repair, it came back with a new touch screen, but the problem stayed.
The third time, the repair shop replaced the motherboard. The initial problem disappeared, but the phone gained a new one. Part of the screen was not reacting to touch. Or rather, every time you touched a certain area on screen to select an item, items around it were selected or nothing happened.
I filed a 4th support request today.
Overall, I took no less than an hour talking to the call center, wrote several emails and paper notes to HTC and to the repair shop, recorded a video to demonstrate the bug and uploaded it to HTC, filed two complaints online and took a good hour each time it returned from the repair shop to setting it up and find ways to reproduce the problem.
As a reminder for myself, mostly:
- Only Mavericks, Yosemite is not yet working under KVM.
- KVM SLiRP networking does not work with MacOS X, bridging is hard to setup for wireless networks so it is better to use NAT versions of qemu-ifup and qemu-ifdown.
- It looks so cool on screenshots
Select like-minded users from a local community website.
- A Drupal website with the votingapi module enabled and at least a few dozen votes by registered users.
- A working installation of the R language.
Exract data
For each user, select all other users that voted on same node and comments:
SELECT v1.uid uid1, v2.uid uid2, u1.name name1, u2.name name2, v2.entity_id entity_id, v1.value value1, v2.value value2FROM votingapi_vote v1JOIN (votingapi_vote v2, users u1, users u2) ON (v1.uid != v2.uid AND v1.entity_id=v2.entity_id AND v1.entity_type=v2.entity_type AND v1.uid=u1.uid AND v2.uid=u2.uid)WHERE v1.uid < v2.uid AND v1.uid != 0 AND v2.uid != 0ORDER BY v1.uid,v2.uid;
This produces a table
uid1 uid2 name1 name2 value1 value21 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 20 201 2 Administrator Bob 40 401 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 20 1001 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 80 801 2 Administrator Bob 100 201 2 Administrator Bob 20 201 2 Administrator Bob 60 601 2 Administrator Bob 100 1001 2 Administrator Bob 100 100
with five columns:
- first user id
- second user id
- first user's name
- second user's name
- vote of the first user
- vote of the second user
The important parts in the SQL are
- the JOIN on the same table, which allows to generate all permutations of uid1 and uid2
- the WHERE clause on
v1.uid < v2.uidwhich reduces permutations to combinations.
The uid of 0 is skipped, because it is the uid of the anonymous user. Every anonymous vote is attributed to it.
Calculate similarity
It can be done in PHP, but why bother? Here's a handy R script that takes the above table as
in.tsv and produces, for each user, a file with the following columns:
- id of the other user
- username
- number of votes in common

Remember the standard structure of Subversion repositories? The one that you create with
mkdir project/{trunk,tags,branches}? I now figured why people create so few branches and tags in this configuration. Because they checkout at
project/trunk level and not at
project level by fear of getting essentially the same code multiple times. And if you are at
project/trunk, you can't really work with
project/branches or
project/tags easily.
But there's a solution! Use the --depth and --set-depth options to
svn checkout and
svn update commands. For instance, when checking out a repository, do it in two steps. First, checkout only the
{trunk, tags, branches} folders, but nothing below them:
svn co --depth immediates http://example.com/svn/project
then, change to project/trunk and get the rest of the codebase from trunk:
cd project/trunksvn up --set-depth infinity
See how it helps? You can now cherry-pick only the branches you want. And get rid of them by setting depth back to
Just stumbled upon a fancy banner by Microsoft that advertises its Embrace and Extend from the childhood program.
For the record: the only reason Microsoft supports this "Coding in classroom initiative" is because they want to push their products through kids. It's a problem, but a bigger problem is that Microsoft have long striven to make computing an elite profession by introducing inconsistencies and complexity for the most basic abstractions: a character, a file, a block device... their products are designed to fail pupils who want to understand how computers work. And this design is intentional, because the less people understand computing, the less competition their business has... and higher are the profits.
Thus, taking money from Microsoft to promote coding in the classroom is akin to taking money from Philip Morris to promote healthy lifestyle. Shameful.
Today my kid brought back from school an assignment to guess words from a bag of letters... it took a mum and a programmer to solve all six. I left one for you, though. Guess what

MoneyonMobile (MOMT) has been busy lately. The Company, which has already established itself as one of the leading mobile payment platforms in India, recently found itself capital constrained as it tried to keep up with the rapid growth in adoption of their payment system. However, over the course of the last two weeks, MOMT has not only shored up their balance sheet and positioned themselves for Nasdaq listing, but they have added an intriguing strategic investor to their shareholder base.
MOMT Takes to Blockchain???
With today's 8-K filing, MoneyonMobile has announced that the S7 Group has joined forces with them as a strategic investor. Not too much is known about the S7 Group here in the US, but they are a powerhouse in Eastern Europe. This is a multi-national conglomerate, having been in business for over 13 years since privatizing their biggest business unit, S7 Airlines, which is the second largest airline in Russia and the largest non-state owned airline in Eastern Europe.
They also have a ticketing agency, which one would expect. However, this is where things get interesting for MOMT. The S7 Group's ticketing platform is based on blockchain technology and the organization has been one of the leading adopters of blockchain technology, being the first to use it in this application.
With the addition to MOMT's board of two S7 representatives, one being a Stanford graduate, could MOMT be positioning themselves to bring blockchain to their payment process platform? That would certainly make a lot of sense for the Company.
I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but the implications of this could be quite far reaching. For, while most investors have been focused on blockchain as relates to cryptocurrencies, industry experts have always thought the true genius of blockchain was as the processes engine for many different uses.
In an article, The 8 Best Uses For Blockchain in 2017, the author cites financial services as third on his list. More importantly, large companies are signing on to this. Here's what American Express says:
"Blockchain technology promises to facilitate fast, secure, low-cost international payment processing services (and other transactions) through the use of encrypted distributed ledgers that provide trusted real-time verification of transactions without the need for intermediaries such as correspondent banks and clearing houses."
Amex is by no means the only major payment processor interested in blockchain, as all major financial services companies are dipping their toes in the water.
For another example, Mastercard…
Mastercard is of particular significance here as MoneyonMobile's COO, Will Dawson, is an ex-Mastercard employee who brought their payment platform to several emerging markets. His expertise is invaluable here and might even help to position the company for an eventual acquisition to a larger player? Hmmmm.
Funded for Growth
With the close of this investment from the S7 Group, along with closing on $7.6M in financing and converting most of their outstanding debt to equity, MOMT has completely shored up their balance sheet and positioned themselves to maintain their outstanding growth.
This is essential at this time, because, as the company detailed in their last earnings call, the biggest impediment to growth is working capital.
"…we do anticipate increasing our foot print of ATMs as rapidly as we can. There is a working capital constraint and a supply constraint on the MOM ATM unit itself but we do plan to emphasize that product going forward in 2018. I think the results suggest that strongly with only 3000 units in the field and it becomes our number 1 product that is a winner for us and we need to do more of it so we do intend to emphasize the MOM ATM in 2018."
MoneyonMobile grew at a very rapid pace in 2017. In order to maintain their growth, they need to roll out their wildly popular MOM ATM offering as quickly as possible. It is also essential that they act now as the opportunity exists for them as the only player in the unbanked part of the market…they need to strike while the iron is not, so to speak.
Next Stop Nasdaq?
Now that the Company has a strong balance sheet, I expect their next big corporate news will be filing an application for a Nasdaq listing. This has long been a goal of the MOMT and they are now ideally positioned to make this move.
A Unique Player in a Huge, Untapped Market
MoneyonMobile is going after a massive opportunity. There are about a billion people in India who don't have bank relationships, or have limited access to their current financial institution. Meanwhile, digital payments and ecommerce are coming rapidly to the country.
When you look at what has happened in China, it's not hard to imagine India following in their footsteps. Nowadays, in China, most transactions are done via mobile. Cash is rapidly dwindling in its use. And, ecommerce has taken off…just look at Alibaba.
India is an untapped market of huge size. It is also a wide open playing field. With their balance sheet improved, an industry leading product for the market, and a blockchain strategy for the future, MOMT is well positioned to become a leading player in this market for years to come.

MOMENTA presents 'Biennale de l'image,' a meditation on the art of photography and film curated by Ami Barak. The exhibit aims to support "Canadian artists by bringing to light the relevance, diversity, and quality of their work, and by presenting it within an international context." Ultimately, it asks its visitors, "What does the image stand for?"
The exhibit seemed to deconstruct the deceptive preconception many have surrounding the authenticity of an image by questioning its meaning. Perhaps the answer lies in the apparent paradox that floats around the authenticity of a photograph. How will a person apply their knowledge to an image in order to align its meanings to their beliefs? This seems to be the "tension between 'the said' and 'the unsaid'" that the exhibit's curator, Ami Barak, intimates. The unsaid seems to be the subtleties of an image. Photographs plainly depict distorted colors and the image itself, but do we hear the sounds in the atmosphere and the thoughts of the people within these images? Barak touched upon this in her introduction to the exhibit, saying, "These artists intercede between the state of things and their possible interpretations. They are the 'whistleblowers." They prefer to transfigure reality into art rather than simply replicate.
These whistleblowers are determined to produce a tangible differentiation between art and reality by using allegories as intermediaries. Their images speak of the world in different ways, but still manage to sidestep strict depictions of "the real," thereby creatively communicating their beliefs. A creative element might transfigure and translate one's 'unsaid' experiences for another while serving as a 'whistle,' or a call for attention. Furthermore, these artists, as put by Barak, seem to 'prefer transfiguration to replication.' A couple of the exhibit's key pieces invoked the following motifs: the different sensational and mental experiences of perspective and seeing the past as a ghost.
These whistleblowers are determined to produce a tangible differentiation between art and reality by using allegories as intermediaries.
One moving image explores different sensations and mental experiences surrounding scope and perspective by stimulating our sense of sound, proportions, and movement. Switching between shots of a shadow and a murmuring sound, film appeared to be rolled in the background, followed by a sped-up view of it that seemed like a blur. The moving image took us between the different perspectives of the piece of film. In doing so, it challenges the viewer to distinguish between proportions by measuring and comparing against the flash of lost memory. The artist seems to ask the viewer to blur the still images that connect the jumps in time that we cannot physically see, while registering empirical measurements of space.
This mysterious 'in between' seems to be explored in ghost-like recollections. One image in particular seems to encapsulate the intense pride and emotion of empowerment. It is a close-up of Martin Luther King at the Lincoln Memorial with his finger pointed forward, making a cogent point. A vignette on the photo's corners backdrops the image, centering King. The photo is printed in black and white, recalling a time before color saturated images, recalling a less vivid but still painful past. The powerful image stands out as a moment of clarity in a fascinating photo exhibit.
Running from September 7 until October 15, the MOMENTA | Biennale will be featured at the VOX and UQAM campus alongside some independent galleries throughout Montreal.

In this article on Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) the symptoms of PTSD are discussed along with reasons why, according to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (IMNA), some people do not seek help.
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies explains that PTSD is described as one of the foremost signature injuries of the U.S. conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq by military personnel.
However, like many national organizations, the number one challenge in successfully noting numbers of people affected with the disorder, treated for the disorder and followed up with to determine success or failure of treatment, is continuous monitoring of those with PTSD.
In order for someone with PTSD to begin a program for care, the PTSD has to first be recognized. Whether it's a sister, a spouse, a friend, a relative, it's usually someone close to the person with PTSD who sees the signs that something is wrong.
Symptoms of PTSD
Individuals manifest PTSD in many different ways and the symptoms can vary greatly. There are many symptoms that may occur for many reasons. Here are just a few symptoms that your loved ones may be exhibiting upon returning home from having worked overseas in a war zone for a Department of Defense contractor.
- Reliving the traumatic event
Sufferers of PTSD may experience nightmares or flashbacks of the original event. Triggers–events that cause a sudden reminder of the trauma or the event—may bring this on.
The triggers can be simple, every day occurrences, but because of the memory evoked, the reminder or alert instead triggers the trauma, or the memory of trauma. For example, if you experienced trauma from an improvised explosive device (IED), similar loud noises such as thunder or fireworks may trigger responses to the traumatic event.
- Avoiding people, places or events that are reminders of the original event
You may find it difficult to visit places that remind you of the trauma that you experienced. For example, if you experienced an explosion in a marketplace, you may find it difficult or even impossible to go to a farmer's market.
You may avoid talking to a person who was with you during the explosion for fear they may cause you to have a memory of what happened to you. You may not want to ever think of the terror experienced so you'll forever avoid that person.
- Inability to express feelings
After you go through something life-threatening, you may find it difficult to relate to people – even those you were at one time very close to.
You may also lose interest in activities that you enjoyed at one time. This may be the mind's way of avoiding memories—any memories—of the past, thereby keeping the reminder of the trauma in the past.
- Frequent episodes of nervousness or irritability
When people are in dangerous situations, they learn to remain on high alert and on watch so that they may be prepared to handle or ward off danger.
However remaining in a constant state of preparedness for the worst is exhausting and hard on the psyche and on the body.
Once removed from the situation, you may find you still feel the need to be on constant alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. This can cause elevated levels of anxiety and as a result, you may find yourself unable to sleep or you may be jumpy when caught off guard.
Other Symptoms of PTSD
The National Institute for Mental Health references other symptoms of PTSD including:
- Extreme isolation and a wall of impenetrable silence
- Exhibiting physical symptoms of fear, anxiety, terror for no reason
- People suffering with PTSD may have difficulty in relationships
- Severe or slight depression
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Difficulty controlling emotions
- Self-destructive behaviors
- Sudden or increased use of alcohol and or drugs
- Constant anxiety or worry of events that will never likely occur
- Worrying about the safety of family members who are not in war zones
- Un-natural fear for safety around vehicles
Why People Do Not Seek Help for PTSD
There are many reasons why people do not seek treatment for PTSD including the inability to recognize that there is a change in personality or behavior.
A person who has a high level of confidence may find it difficult and see that there is still a stigma against those who seek help for mental health issues.
Research is shedding more light on the causes and treatment for PTSD and with more public understanding and open dialog, it is getting easier for people to see they are not alone.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 5 million people in the United States may suffer from PTSD. Some 15-30% of the 3.5 million men and women who served in Vietnam have suffered from PTSD.
Individuals may not recognize the symptoms or may fear repercussion in their personal lives if they undergo diagnosis and treatment for PTSD. People fear losing their jobs, having their personal medical history scrutinized or simply worry about what others will think.
The cost for treatment is also a reason many people decide not to seek help. Even with individuals who have been receiving medical benefits, medical treatment, and compensation, may not understand what, if any, mental health benefits they have available to them.
War-time Civilians with PTSD
Civilians working for U.S. Contractors in support of U.S. efforts overseas have medical and disability compensation insurance provided under the Defense Base Act. Mental health claims are compensable under the Defense Base Act.
At Garfinkel Schwartz, we want our clients to know they have these benefits available to them when they need them and that there is no shame in asking for help. If you don't know how to begin the process, consult with us. If you don't consult with us, that's OK, but please do consult with an experienced attorney who practices Defense Base Act law.
Warning Signs of PTSD
On-the-job injuries mean time off from work or reduced income; these injuries affect the entire family. Because of the severity of the symptoms, a PTSD-related injury can be even more devastating the family dynamic and the relationships within the family.
It is normal to experience some of the symptoms of PTSD after experiencing a traumatic event. When the symptoms stay or recur after a few weeks, it is an indicator that the suffering from PTSD is not going to just go away.
However, normal reaction to trauma does not last forever. If symptoms worsen, become more intense or recur with greater frequency, it's important that the person suffering should see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and recommended treatment.
PTSD does not always happen immediately. For some, it may happen years after the exposure to the trauma. Regardless when the symptoms appear, they are a signal it is time to get help.
If you find yourself thinking about hurting yourself or others, get help immediately. Call your local crisis or suicide hotline. There is help available.
If you have questions about the Defense Base Act law and how to get help to regain lost medical care needed for PTSD medications, treatment and help, call Garfinkel Schwartz.
If you are the loved one who is trying to help a family member after an injury or traumatic experience while working as a civilian contractor in Iraq or Afghanistan or other areas of conflict overseas, call Garfinkel Schwartz. We fight for your rights, one family at a time.

Qaidi Band is new movie starring debutante Aadar Jain and Anya Sing leading roles. It is the story of a group of people who caught for some reason but remains undertrail for long. A senior police officer makes a group of them to do one Orchestra event for one respectable. They performed their best with a believe that it will help them to set free by next hearing. But their performance is being appreciated everywhere so one powerful person do not want to set them free before election. Now they are not happy inside and want to run away. The rest is just about their efforts and pain to get the freedom.
Rajkapoor's grandson Aadar Jain and new face Anya Singh are looking good in trailer but this do not assures the success at box office. The trailer says it is inspired from real life stories, but the story seems manipulated. It's a riveting tale of undertrials who come together to form a band in jail and their music becomes their only hope for freedom.
It happens rarely when any new star son or grandson is accepted easily. Aadar Jain is talented enough but is he going to be accepted by all the viewers and followers, and how long he will stay in industry will be interesting to see in following years.

written for RATB by Ben Watson, 08 May 2011.
On Wednesday 27 April 2011, Orlando Bosch Avila died peacefully, after a four-month spell in a hospital in Miami at the ripe age of 84 years. His wife, Adriana Bosch said she wants her husband to be remembered as a great father, husband and doctor. His daughter, Karen Bosch added: 'I never considered him a violent man, growing up with him and I don't relate him to any violence'. Thank goodness for family, as there are many who would disagree and with good reason.
Orlando Bosch was born in Cuba on 18 August 1926 (within a week of his contemporary, Fidel Castro) in Potrerillo village, 150 miles east of Havana. His father was a policeman and later a restaurant owner. His mother was a teacher.
In 1946 Bosch enrolled in the medical school at the University of Havana where he first met Fidel. Both were leading figures in their respective fields: Bosch was president of the medical school student body while Fidel was head of the law school student body.
The two men, from similarly middle class backgrounds, became allies. Bosch participated in the struggle against dictator Fulgencio Batista, which culminated in the successful 1959 revolution headed by Fidel. During the struggle, Bosch fled to the United States to escape arrest. On his return, Fidel rewarded Bosch with an appointment as governor of a province. The relationship turned sour as Bosch rejecting the radicalization of the revolutionary process. He quit and retreated to the mountains in central Cuba to lead an armed rebellion against the revolution. By mid-1960, Bosch returned to the United States with his family. According to his autobiography he refused to participate in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion because the USA had refused to help his rebellion.
The US National Security Archive Bosch records that Bosch was in contact with the CIA in 1962 and 1963. He became a case officer for Operation 40, a covert operation to mount another Cuban exile invasion force to depose Fidel. He also ran the Insurrectional Movement of Revolutionary Recovery (MIRR), one of a number of ultra-violent Cuban exile groups which launched attacks against their native country, killing innocent families and destroying agriculture crops. Overthrowing and killing Fidel became Bosch's sole mission in life.
The following are a few examples of his activities:
1964: Arrested in Miami for 'towing a homemade, radio-operated torpedo through downtown in rush-hour traffic'.
1965: Arrested for attempting to smuggle bombs out of the country.
1966: Arrested for ferrying 'six dynamite-stuffed, 100 pound surplus aerial bombs' up the Tamiami Trail 'to a secret base where there was a boat we could use to bomb Castro'.
None of these charges resulted in convictions.
1970: Finally convicted for misfiring a bazooka at a freighter docked at the Port of Miami, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison but paroled after only 4 years! He violated the terms of his parole by leaving the US for other Latin American countries when he was wanted for questioning in connection with the assassination of another Cuban exile leader, Jose Elias de la Torriente.
1974-1976: US authorities rejected offers from Venezuela and Costa Rica to return him to the United States.
1976: Bosch helped found the Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations (CORU), an umbrella organization for the most extreme anti-Castro groups. US government documentation shows that CORU was directly responsible for 50 terrorist operations in the next 5 years. The most lethal operation happened on 6 October 1976, just west of the Caribbean island of Barbados, when 2 bombs were set-off on a Cubana Airlines civilian aeroplane in mid-air, killing all 73 people on-board.
The CIA, who had been keeping track of Bosch and his associates for years, identified Bosch, along with CORU co-founder Luis Posada, as masterminds for the outrageous action. Other participants were found guilty after trial and sentenced to 20 years, but Bosch's case dragged on until 1986 when he was acquitted on a technicality.
In 1987, Bosch was arrested in the United States on a parole violation and held for 6 months. The powerful Cuban-American lobby put pressure on wannabe Florida governor Jeb Bush, son of the then President George Bush Senior, to intervene. Despite strong objections from the President's own Defense Department, which labelled him as one of the most deadly terrorists within the hemisphere, all the charges were dropped and Bosch was released. He had acquired friends in high places.
Federal attorneys told a judge in 1990 that they had tried to deport Bosch to 31 different countries but all had refused to take him. Cuba's request for Bosch to be sent to back for trial on the island was denied by the United States.
A former US attorney called Bosch an 'unrepentant terrorist'. With so much evidence stacked against him and no final words of regret or remorse, that is exactly how he should be remembered.

Weekend arts picks: March 20-24
Film: With the Cold War over, governmental spies need to re-direct their efforts and that is what the CIA's Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and MI6's Ray Koval (Clive Owen) intend to do in Tony Gilroy's smart and smart-mouthed trust-no-one comedy, Duplicity.
The two occasional lovers move into industrial espionage, spying and counter-spying for two corporate bosses, Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti, who hate each other's guts. Gilroy (Michael Clayton) provides the necessary double-crosses of the genre, plus the stylishness and split-screens of The Thomas Crown Affair. The results are not profound, but you won't have to leave your brains at the theater door, either. Opening Friday. -- H. Erstein
Theater: A few months before Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein died in early 2006, she premiered a play on Broadway called Third, a densely packed comedy of gender politics, academic politics and political politics, now receiving its area premiere at Vero Beach's Riverside Theatre in the company's increasingly interesting Second Stage series.
It concerns a term paper on King Lear, written by a college athlete, that his female professor feels certain he must have plagiarized. Complicating matters further, her home life is a curious parallel to the conflicts in King Lear. Although flawed, Third is proof of how much Wasserstein will be missed from the theater scene. From Saturday, March 21, through Sunday, April 5. Tickets: $30-$34. Call (772) 231-6990 or (800) 445-6745 for reservations. -- H. Erstein
Art: Among the many art events this weekend such as the Norton's photography auction Friday night and the Palm Beach Fine Craft show that runs from Friday through Sunday at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, there are also two smaller events worth noting:
Edna's Fine Art Gallery will feature the work of Armenian native Nuné Asatryan. Known simply as Nuné, she has her master's degree in fine art, was the youngest artist in Armenia to be accepted to that country's Artist's Union and has exhibited in Europe, North America and Brazil. When she came to the States in 1999, she settled in New York City, but after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 "decided to move to Florida for my mind, body and soul to reconnect and start a new journey of my life with my husband and child."
As a professional artist for more than 25 years, Nuné works in a variety of media, from painting to mixed media on pape,r to abstract photography and sculpture. Her images have a surrealistic, yet primitive feeling; they are technically refined, yet contemporary in approach. The show's opening is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Edna's Fine Art Gallery, 5505 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach. It also marks the grand opening of the gallery, which will feature work by Edna Hibel, Peter Keil, Gabriella Shalev and Floyd Scarmato. For more information, call (561) 202-0831. -- K. Deits
Visiting an artist's studio can be enlightening when you have the opportunity to see his or her workspace, the tools used and the environment's ambience. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, artist Louis Schneiderman is having an Open Studio Show at 3780 Burns Road, Suite 6, in Palm Beach Gardens.
Schneiderman lives to paint and often spends 12 to 14 hours in his studio. "When I paint, I spend the first hour and a half getting rid of 'mind noise.' I like painting for long periods of time," he said.
His current body of work took five months to create and he describes it as contemporary views of iconic images such as a mother and child, cityscapes, and flowers. "I believe there is an elegance in simplicity and economy," Schneiderman said. "I prefer paintings where the image is suggested and not overdone, where there is room for the imagination to participate in 'seeing' the painting. I prefer the sublime to the overt.
"I like to make a delicate image powerful and a powerful image delicate. It's these two disparate energies that give a painting tension, which is the play between freedom and control," he said.
Schneiderman, whose work is represented by galleries in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Naples and Atlanta, has paintings in prominent private and corporate collections, in addition to an extensive commission at the Temple Sinai in Atlanta. For more information about Louis Schneiderman's work or Open Studio Show, call (561) 313-3077. -- K. Deits
Music: The series of concerts at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Delray Beach has become notable for its ambition under director Keith Paulson-Thorp. This weekend, he's planning a concert with his church's choir that bears the title Music of War and Peace.
On the widely varied program, in which the choir will be accompanied by the whimsically named Sinfonia del Re, is music of Franz Joseph Haydn (the Agnus Dei from the Mass in Time of War), Marc-Antoine Charpentier (Canticum pro pace), Charles-Marie Widor (Da pacem Domine) and a slightly abridged version of The Armed Man, a mass by the contemporary Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. 3 pm, St. Paul's. Tickets: $15-$18. Call 278-6003 or visit the Website. -- G. Stepanich
Earlier that same afternoon, the Boca Symphonia welcomes American pianist Lydia Artimiw for music of Mozart (the Concerto No. 21 in C, K. 467, the one that used to be known as the Elvira Madigan concerto).
Conductor Alexander Platt also has scheduled two vigorous symphonies: Beethoven's First (in C, Op. 21) and the Shostakovich Ninth (in E-flat, Op. 70), whose lightness and cheekiness infuriated Soviet officialdom, which had been expecting Shostakovich to write something massive and profound to mark the end of World War II. 2:30 pm, Roberts Theater, St. Andrew's School, Boca Raton. Tickets: $42-$53. Call 376-3848, 888-426-5577, or visit www.bocasymphonia.org. -- G. Stepanich
Finally, two legendary American pianists play back-to-back concerts Monday and Tuesday at the Kravis Center.
First up is Andre Watts, a familiar sight on the Dreyfoos Hall stage, in a recital of works by Schubert (the B-flat Impromptu, Op. 142, No. 3, and the Wanderer Fantasy), Beethoven (Sonata No. 7 in D, Op. 10, No. 3), Mozart (the Rondos in A minor, K. 511, and D, K. 485), plus two works by Bach transcribed by Watts himself: The chorale prelude Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesus Christ, BWV 639, and the prelude to the Ratswahl Cantata, Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29. Watts takes the stage at 2 pm Monday. Tickets: $25-$75. Call 832-7469 or visit www.kravis.org.
The next day, it's Richard Goode, a pianist's pianist whose relatively recent recording of the Beethoven sonata cycle was praised to the skies, but the performance that sticks in my memory of his appearance at the Four Arts a few years back is of a set of Debussy preludes of unmatched clarity and color. On Tuesday night, Goode will play Bach – the French Suite No. 5 (in G, BWV816) and three preludes and fugues from Book II of the Well-Tempered Clavier – and Chopin: assorted mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, the Third Scherzo (in C-sharp minor, Op. 39) and the magnificent Polonaise-Fantasie (in A-flat, Op. 61). 8 p.m, Kravis Center. Tickets: $25-$85. Call 832-7469 or visit www.kravis.org. -- G. Stepanich
Dance: Trey McIntyre, the renowned young choreographer who made his name with the Houston Ballet, launched his eponymous Project as a fulltime company last year, and brings it to Palm Beach Community College's Duncan Theatre in Lake Worth on Friday and Saturday as part of its first-ever national tour of 30 cities.
On the program are three McIntyre-choreographed works: Leatherwing Bat, to music by '60s folk icons Peter, Paul and Mary; (serious) to music by pioneering American composer Henry Cowell; and A Day in the Life, to songs by the Beatles, including Mother Nature's Son, Golden Slumbers, In My Life, and nine others. 8 p.m. both shows. Tickets: $29-$35. Call 868-3309 or visit www.pbcc.edu. -- G. Stepanich

Love it
Reviewed: 08 October 2018 by Gosig, a Straight Married Female
I don't wear skirts as a rule. I find them massively unflattering. Having said that, I have never worn latex before either. The effect of this combo though was quite stunning.
I bought the XL for sizes 14-16, which as a size 16 fitted me perfectly. I was worried about getting into it, but a quick shimmy up my legs and it was on without any trouble, and certainly no need for assistance.
As the not-so-proud owner of a mummy-tummy I was worried that the tightness and shiny effect would highlight this area that I'm keen to hide, and yet this did not happen. The high-waisted nature of the fit did wonders for providing a longer line silhouette, skimming over my lower tummy, for which I was very grateful.
It was comfortable to wear, it stayed in place, no rolling up or other misbehaving, so all in all very impressed.
- Pros
- Surprisingly forgiving fit and overall effect.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A bit of a revelation, wish I had more places to wear it out.

Gradually introducing my wife to latex and we both love this skirt.
Applied some dressing aid to the inside and polished up the outside for an incredible shine. Her ass looked and felt amazing in this skirt - couldn't keep my hands off her! I gave her a good spanking and the rubber gives a very satisfying sound without any risk of pain.
- Pros
- Kinky feeling.
- Cons
- Need dressing aid to get it on.
- Bottom line
- Amazing.

Really sexy
Reviewed: 16 May 2018 by TheKinkyBunny
I was so excited to get this as I've wanted it for ages. Hubby isn't much of a latex fan so he wasn't as bothered about it. But when he saw it his mind was changed. I squeezed in, gave it a spray with some latex shine and it looked amazing.
One thing that did annoy me was the rolling of the top and the bottom of the skirt though. After only a couple of minutes in the skirt, I found the top kept rolling down, which was something I was constantly adjusting. I'm not sure if there's a way of resolving this?
When wearing this, do not open your legs wider than it is when walking. Or prepare for a comical moment of the skirt rolling straight up to your ears!
It was a little uncomfortable to get off, but not too much of an issue.
I think there could be more details that come with it for caring and use. I don't remember it saying about latex spray, but luckily I'd seen others say they use it.
- Pros
- Tight figure hugging.
- Cons
- Rolling down at the top a lot.
- Bottom line
- Very sexy.
