![]() ![]() The main highway was closed for several hours, cutting off access from Wasilla, where I’m at, to Anchorage. In this emergency, most landlines and cell towers were still up and running so we were able to share information, as I am in Wasilla/Palmer, 40 miles north of Anchorage. It doesn’t matter who gets there first, as long as the info is on all stations. Radio Ink: Did you have a “plan” in place for something like this?Įddie Maxwell: Our plan is to get to the stations as quickly as possible and get accurate information on air as quickly as possible. Radio Ink: Tell us about staffing at the stations, news personnel and others?Įddie Maxwell: We are a smaller company and we don’t have a full-time news department, so it’s up to our air staff to come together in times of emergency and that’s just what they did! So while power was out at the studio, our engineer Tony Kyriss fired up some backup music and I headed to the transmitter to record reports and Brenna stayed back at the studio. The generator kicked in at KMBQ, which is in a different location than the studio. Didn’t have significant damage at the stations, fortunately. Radio Ink: Any of your stations go off the air or sustain any damage?Įddie Maxwell: All of our Anchorage stations were off the air after it hit and we only have one of our stations that streams currently. My main concern was for Brenna and the guests and to remain calm myself, so I can keep them calm. This quake lasted a while and was really violent, very strong. Wasilla is a bedroom community to Anchorage. The preliminary magnitude was 7.0 and it was located about 30 miles from us between Anchorage and Wasilla. I’m born and raised in Alaska and that was the worst quake I’ve been in. She corralled her guests outside and I just stayed seated at my desk until it stopped. I’m hollering down the hall to make sure Brenna, the morning personality on KMBQ-FM/Wasilla, AK, was okay as well as her guests. We’ve been through quakes before, but this one was strong and kept shaking…and got stronger. ![]() Also her community connection guest came in for an interview, then it hit…about 8:29 a.m. Radio Ink: Where were you when the quake hit, what was it like?Įddie Maxwell: I was at my desk, the morning person and I were getting ready to do a Facebook live video. Radio Ink spoke to Maxwell the evening after the 7.0 quake hit Friday, November 30. Eddie Maxwell is the OM for all the stations and the PD for thee stations. Ohana Media Group operates six stations in the Anchorage market: KMBQ-FM 99.7, KBBO-FM 92.1, KXLW-FM 96.3, KTMB-FM 102.1, KFAT-FM 92.9, and KBYR-AM 700. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kennedy Academy for Health Careersīasic–Other Cell Signaling Development Genetics/Genomics Immunology & Inflammation Neurosciences Oncology Physiology & Metabolism Virology & Infectious AgentsĬlinical–Other Clinical Trials Epidemiology Health Services Research Technology Translationalġ–27 28–35 36–42 43–54 55–85 86–110 111–128 129–136 137–138ġ39–164 165–167 168–177 178–185 186–190 191–210Īnnual Celebration of Science at MGH Agenda: Day One, Wednesday, Ma11:00 am–1:45 pm, Holiday Inn, 15th Floor 2:00 pm–5:00 pm, Simches 3.110 Timilty Middle School, East Boston High School and Edward M.

It is important to understand each payer’s documentation, billing, and payment requirements. Many commercial payers do not use the following modifiers and simply pay the total amount to a single anesthesia clinician who was involved in the care and is noted on the bill for services. In those situations, the healthcare provider must collect that portion directly from the patient and the insurance company will pay the balance. In many instances the patient will have an obligation for some portion of the payment based on deductibles, co-insurance, or co-payments. Responsibility for payment for anesthesia services is dependent on the terms outlined by the healthcare insurance company. 2įor the example above, the total payment is then calculated to be the following: 1 Overall, Medicare was paying less than 28% of median commercial rates in that year. In 2022, the Medicare anesthesia conversion factor was $21.5623, while the median commercial anesthesia factor reported in the 2022 ASA commercial conversion factor survey was $78.00. The anesthesia CF varies by payer and differs considerably between government payors and commercial payors. The anesthesia conversion factor (CF) is different than the relative value unit (RVU) CF. Payment = Anesthesia Conversion Factor X total anesthesia units ![]() Payment for this care would then be calculated using the payor’s conversion factor: Total anesthesia units billed units = 7 base units + 8.6 time units = 15.6 units The total number of anesthesia units billed for this patient would be calculated as follows: One should check the commercial contract and payor rules. In contrast some commercial payors request time units that time units be reported in whole numbers only and the time would be rounded up to 9 units. For these payors, the 129 minutes would be converted to 8.6 time units. ![]() Although 15-min time units are most commonly used, Medicare and Medicaid programs calculate the time units to one decimal. In this example, the reported anesthesia time is 129 minutes. The ASA CROSSWALK ® links this procedure to the anesthesia care described by CPT ® code 01402 – Anesthesia for open or surgical arthroscopic procedures on knee joint total knee arthroplasty – which has 7 base units. Medicare conversion factors are defined by CMS and commercial conversion factors are dependent on contracts between the provider/provider group and the insurers.Įxample: A patient undergoes total knee arthroplasty (CPT ® code 27447 – Arthroplasty, knee, condyle and plateau medial AND lateral compartments with or without patella resurfacing (total knee arthroplasty)). Payment for anesthesia services is determined by adding base units to time units and a multiplying by a payor specific conversion factor. ![]() Each anesthesia CPT code is allocated a specific number of anesthesia base units.

Quick (dirty?) python code to do this without upgrading Shotwell (I think as of 0.8.x Shotwell can write out tags, but you can't upgrade to that on Lucid). I suspect it is, if one selects original size for the Scaling option in the export dialog. Hopefully this export is lossless when dealing with jpegs. UPDATE: While it is true that Shotwell 0.7 does not store its tags in the pictures as these tags are created, the tags can be embedded in the pictures if you choose to export them, thanks Adam for making this clear. Hopefully as Shotwell gains more features this situation will change. Digikam can also embed exif data in the photos themselves. Both of these front ends have export to csv features when you export your tags to csv (Comma Separated Values) you can check if any other photo management software will import and map the tags to the appropriate field in their own databases. There are a few GUI frontends for sqlite, there is one for firefox here or you can use sqliteman. It may be helpful to know that the Shotwell database is an sqlite database located in your ~/.shotwell/data directory and usually called photo.db, you can copy it somewhere else on your computer and access it with sqlite. When testpicture.jpg is imported into Shotwell the picture will be tagged with favourite and family Replace existing keyword list with two new keywords (favourite and family). For example: exiftool -keywords=favourite -keywords=family testpicture.jpg ![]() The exiftool utility can tag your pictures embedding the tags in the photo and the good thing about this is that most photo managers will use them, this includes Shotwell. You will see that the exiftool output contains no Shotwell tags. ![]() Use the command exiftool testpicture.jpg to check a photo called testpicture.jpg that you had previously tagged with Shotwell. You can check by using exiftool, which can be installed by installing the package libimage-exiftool-perl, available in the repositories. ![]() Unfortunately Shotwell does seem to keep the tags in its own database rather than embed them as exif, IPTC or XMP in the pictures. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its name is similar in other languages, except in Thai, where it is called ( phai nok krachok), a calque meaning "sparrow cards". Most Mandarin-speaking Chinese now call the game 麻將 ( májiàng). It has also been suggested that the name came from an evolution of an earlier card game called Madiao from which mahjong tiles were adapted. It is said that the clacking of tiles during shuffling resembles the chattering of sparrows. In Chinese, the game was originally called 麻雀 ( pinyin: máquè)-meaning sparrow-which is still used in some languages in southern China. A group of players may introduce their own house rules which can notably change the feel of play. Beyond these basic common rules, numerous regional variations exist which may have notably different criteria for legal melds and winning hands, radically different scoring systems and even elaborate extra rules. While many variations of mahjong exist, most variations have some basic rules in common including how a piece is drawn and discarded, how a piece is robbed from another player, the use of suits (numbered tiles) and honors (winds and dragons), the basic kinds of melds allowed, how to deal the tiles and the order of play. A player can also win with a small class of special hands. In turn, players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four melds (or sets) and a pair (eye). In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although many regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones. To distinguish it from mahjong solitaire, it is sometimes referred to as mahjong rummy. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. The game has also been adapted into a widespread online entertainment. The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout East and Southeast Asia and have also become popular in Western countries. It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in parts of China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia). Mahjong or mah-jongg ( English pronunciation: / m ɑː ˈ dʒ ɒ ŋ/ mah- JONG) is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. Players should attempt to read the instructions attentively in order to comprehend the game's rules and how to play swiftly in order to win."Mahjong" in Traditional (top) and Simplified (bottom) Chinese characters To win the game as fast as possible, players must pay great attention and swiftly arrange the pieces in a consistent sequence in order to gain the opportunity to end with the most points. ![]()
