![]() ![]() ![]() “To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke, so I let you all see that. Swift’s comments about the video did not seem to sit well with Kardashian West, who took to Twitter to defend her husband and herself, calling the singer out for reigniting “an old exchange.” Her statement marked the first time the singer had discussed her feud with West and Kardashian West since her September cover story for Vogue last year, in which she called the “mass public shaming” she received an “isolating experience.” “Instead of answering those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that leaked,” the singer wrote on Instagram Stories, “proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call* (you know, the one that was illegally recorded that somebody edited, and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for 4 years)… SWIPE UP to see what really matters.” Swift then added a link for the World Health Organization and Feeding America so fans could join her in donating aid to coronavirus relief efforts. Swift can be overheard saying she’d love for him to send her the song so she can have a listen, to which West agrees.Īfter the video leaked online, Swift broke her silence, saying it simply proved “that I was telling the truth the whole time about ‘that call.'” The singer went on to say the video proves that the original clips posted by Kardashian West were “edited and manipulated.” He then asks for her thoughts on his lyrics, though he is never heard mentioning calling her a “bitch” in them. Throughout the video, West seemingly asks Swift to help promote the song by posting it on her social media. Now that infamous phone call is breaking the internet once again after unseen footage from the leaked video went viral over the weekend, leaving many to take sides in who was telling the truth. Ticketmaster, SeatGeek Commit to All-In Pricing After "Junk Fees" Criticism At the time, Kardashian West took to Snapchat to post a series of clips showing West on the phone with Swift, with the singer overheard thanking West for calling her to discuss the song and describing the lyric about them having sex as a “compliment.” The viral moment resulted in Kardashian West referring to Swift on Twitter with the snake emoji - a symbol Swift referenced throughout her 2017 reputation album. Following the release of West’s “Famous,” Swift blasted the rapper for lyrics in which he states: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous.” Swift called West’s lyrics “misogynistic” and argued that she never approved them. Tensions arose between the singer, reality star and rapper after the song’s release in 2016. The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian West was reignited Monday night after the reality TV star took to Twitter to defend her husband Kanye West over a leaked video of the full phone call with Swift, during which they discussed lyrics for his song “Famous.”

For example, if you’ve submitted the claim in a timely fashion-but the insurance carrier didn’t receive it, the information was lost, or the payer “skipped” a date of service in a batch file-you do have the right to appeal to that payer for payment as long as you have proof. The good news: There are some cases in which you can submit an appeal. The bad news: You typically cannot appeal such denials. Now, if you believed you had timely filing under control (Zamm!), but you just got hit with a timely filing-related denial (Thunk!), I have good news and bad news. Now, if you’re wondering why the standard Blue Cross Blue Shield timely filing deadline quietly avoided this cheat sheet, hold on to your Batmobile, because we included the timely filing deadlines for 33 different BCBS offshoots in the download below! Keep in mind that while these are the payers’ standard filing deadlines, the deadlines listed in your individual payer contracts supercede these time frames 100% of the time. And like I always say, “With the right reminders, you can do almost anything-like squeeze into a suit with built-in abs.” Right? All super suits aside, here’s a payer deadline cheat sheet for participating providers, as adapted from multiple sources: Payerġ80 days from date of service (physicians)ĩ0 days from date of service (ancillary providers) But, you can use the chart below to remind you about your timely filing deadlines. So, how do you become a timely filing superhero? Well, unfortunately, there’s no sweet signal in the sky to warn you about timely claim submission danger. Furthermore, if you aren’t familiar with all of your timely filing deadlines and you end up submitting a claim late, you’ll be dealing with denials-the kind that typically can’t be appealed (Pow! Blap! Ouch!). So, while you and your staff are treating patients, determining diagnosis codes, and submitting claims, you also have to keep track of all your contracted requirements. ![]() ![]() That sounds simple enough, but the tricky part isn’t submitting your claims within the designated time frame it’s knowing what that time frame is, and that’s because there’s no set standard among all payers. For example, if a payer has a 90-day timely filing requirement, that means you need to submit the claim within 90 days of the date of service. Timely filing is when you file a claim within a payer-determined time limit. Whoops! I mean, check out these timely filing tips and download the cheat sheet below for reference. So, how do you know when your claim submissions are early, on time, or downright late? Look to the Bat-Signal for guidance, of course. Because with claim submissions, lateness isn’t only unacceptable it also causes denials. Or, maybe it’s because this rule truly applies in many situations-even in physical therapy billing. If you’re on time, you’re late.” Maybe I think that way because I have a Type A personality (holy organization, Batman). ![]() When it comes to punctuality, here’s my motto: “If you’re early, you’re on time. ![]() ![]() Ours is a culture whose main expression of sinfulness is silliness. While the church has been pre-occupied with either counting sex scenes and cuss words in music and movies or attempting incessantly to be “relevant,” we have missed a more important influence of entertainment: it’s capacity to distract us. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions”. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. But in Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. ![]() Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares.īut we had forgotten that alongside Orwell’s dark vision, there was another – slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. When the year came and the prophecy didn’t, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. This comparison between the pessimistic visions of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley is worth quoting at length: In the introduction of his highly acclaimed and criticized book Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, Postman demonstrated that he had his finger on the pulse of our culture in a way most others did not. Neal Postman (1931–2003) was an educator and cultural critic who saw things more clearly than most. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ. ![]() For example, you can be slowly sneaking around when you hear some enemies approach from around a corner, and without thinking, you hit stealth to stay hidden. What’s more, so accessible and useful are these that you soon develop an almost instinctive feel for them. This mixture of abilities is implemented brilliantly, and all modes are easy to activate. ![]() You can also use a variety of visual modes, including a cool thermal vision and battlefield analysis mode that points out enemies, supplies and provides suggestions on the best course of action, such as flanking options, stealth routes and so on. These powers include super strength that lets you rip heavy machine guns off of tanks, maximum armour, which can protect you against enemy fire and cloak, which turns you almost invisible, allowing you to sneak by enemies and execute stealth kills. From then on, you’re set loose in NY, with some groovy nanotech powers to play with.Īs with the original, Crysis 2 mixes in traditional FPS gunplay, alongside the nanosuit’s various powers and abilities, to create a unique and freeform superhero-like adventure. Luckily, you’re found by Prophet, the team leader from the original game, and you’re given a nanosuit along with the goal of finding Gould somewhere in the city. Your mission doesn’t start well, though, as your submarine is attacked and you’re left for dead. Your objective is to aid a scientist named Nathan Gould. As ‘Alcatraz’, a member of an elite team of Marines, you’re sent to the city, which is under attack by an alien force and also under siege by an army of overzealous private military types. This time, events take place in the urban sprawl of New York City. Crysis 2 has been a long time coming, and unlike the original title, isn’t based on some generic island. With the unavoidable kick in the photoreceptors out of the way, let’s get down to the actual game. I could go on all day about the individual visual flare, such as the amazing reproduction of New York, the epic set pieces that seem like they’ve made their way right out of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, or the impeccable modelling of characters and weapons, but I think you get the idea. This is seriously amazing stuff, and if it looks this good on console, just imagine how good it’ll look on a fully kitted out gaming PC. And, when you realise this is all running on the Xbox 360, with nary an instance of slowdown anywhere, you begin to realise just how good Crytek’s new engine really is. ![]() Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers have a lifespan of 12 to 14 years and are a relatively healthy breed without many health problems. Raising a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever with kids and other pets will ensure your home is always full of laughter and fun escapades-you may find your only quiet time is at night! These pups are happy when they are with their family, wherever that may be, at home or on your travels or local adventures. They may not be as ideal for first-time pup parents as say, a Labrador Retriever, but as long as you’re committed to their training and exercise needs, this pup can be a good fit. Tollers are wonderful dogs for active pet parents who are willing to put the time in to exercising them. (And they wouldn’t say no to a nearby pond or lake, either.) (This includes lazy days and stormy or cold days, too!) This water-loving pooch would be thrilled if you have a swimming pool they could play in. This pup is medium-sized, so they may do OK in a smaller home or apartment, as long as they have daily access to outdoor space to run and play. ![]() When Tollers are well exercised, they are happy to cuddle up with you and lounge on the couch-an excellent way to relax at the end of a day of play.Ī Toller is happiest in a home with a large yard where they have room to play and exercise. These competitive sports are great ways to strengthen your bond. Get your Toller into dog sports, like agility or flyball. Dog ball toys are great for endless ball-chasing antics your pup will love (all that retrieving).Īny activity that allows them to use their bodies and their brains is also great. Take your pup for a few walks during the day and give them plenty of time to play off-leash (in the backyard or at the dog park). They also enjoy swimming and games like fetch or hide-and-seek. If you enjoy running, you’re in luck Tollers are fast-they can reach speeds up to 45 mph! So, lace up your running shoes and take your Toller with you. If they aren’t able to get rid of their energy every day, they will find ways to entertain themselves-and your shoes and your home will be the worse for it. As a dog born with a job to do (work with hunters), these pups don’t do well with idle time. Puppies learn to play nicely with each other, and they get to mix and mingle with other people.Ī Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever’s energy level is high, so they’ll need about an hour of exercise a day. This will help bring out their friendly personalities as they grow up. ![]() This means taking your pup for walks and letting them experience new people, other dogs and new situations. Socialization is also important for a Toller puppy. Mix up their rewards and use treats, praise and play breaks when they do a good job. Reward-based training methods (focusing on what they do right and re-directing them when they don’t do what you want) works well for them, too. When training, keep your sessions short (10 minutes or so), otherwise they’ll get bored with endless repetition. And foundational obedience skills-sit, stay, come and how to walk nicely on a leash-are a must. Being lovingly firm and consistent are key for training. Therefore, they need a confident and patient trainer to guide them. Though smart, Tollers are independent and not as eager to please as the Golden Retriever. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers have a bit of a stubborn streak. Plan on having your Toller’s teeth cleaned professionally every year by your vet (not your groomer). Beyond curbing bad breath, daily brushing prevents plaque and tartar build-up, which leads to tooth decay and possibly life-threatening infections. Keeping your dog’s teeth clean ensures they stay healthy overall. It’s best to start the teeth brushing routine when your Toller is a puppy, so they’ll get used to the process. ![]() Your Toller dog may need more frequent bathing based on their outdoor activities and whether they’re due for a good scrub after a particularly muddy excursion.īrush your dog’s teeth at least a few times a week and work up to every day. You can bathe your Tolling Retriever once every four to six weeks. You’ll know their nails are too long if you can hear your pup coming on hard surfaces. Speaking of their toes, trim your Toller’s nails every month. Trim the hair on their paws as needed to make sure they get good traction when they walk on slippery surfaces. The fur that grows between their toes can cover their pads. While you’re brushing their fur, check out the fur between their toes. And during shedding season, carve out time every day to help keep the shedding fur at bay. Use a slicker brush, like the Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush. Take time to brush the fur around their ears, which tends to get knotted. Plan on brushing your Toller weekly to keep their coat in tip-top shape. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breed has a waterproof double coat, and they are moderate shedders, but they’ll shed more during the fall and spring. ![]() Download Shadowsocks for Android from Google Play.It should say Your public IP address is 52.15.254.140.

Shadow puppetry is so embraced by many different cultures that each culture seems to have their own history and legend of the first shadow play performance- therefore claiming it, or at least different versions of it, as their own. It has a long history in China, India, Nepal, and Southeast Asia, as well as in Turkey and Greece, surviving everything from war and famine to cultural revolutions. ![]() The art of shadow puppetry, or shadow play, is an ancient form of storytelling which utilizes flat figures (shadow puppets) to create cut-out figures which are then held between a source of light and a translucent screen. Plato's Allegory of the Cave by Jan Saenredam, 1604. ![]() However, it also illustrates an early example of the use of shadows and the significance of caves as sacred sites for the performance of religious ceremonies, as well as an early example of a performance of a shadow play. This story illustrates Plato's discussion on the illusory nature of all perceptions. The fire behind the puppets casts shadows of them and, according to Plato, they are seen as a form of reality by the fettered audience. The inscription refers to a shadow play performance where puppets of humans and animals were manipulated by a puppeteer in that cave. In his Republic, Plato mentions a cave in India with an inscription from the second century BCE. He turned on the machine of his time and found himself in 1924, clearing himself of history.
