In USA TODAY's article "The underlying duel of 2012: Seniors vs. Millennials,"
GOP volunteer Immo Sulyok is quoted saying about Election Day: "I'll be there,
or I'll be dead." As will I, but my vote will be for President Obama ("A defining
gap: Seniors for Romney, Millennials for Obama")
I believe that our major concern should be educating our young. It is
unbelievably arrogant for seniors like me to worry about only our welfare,
finances and health. We had our day in the sun. The future generation is being
short-changed by cuts in education spending and the increasing cost of higher
education. We are witnessing the dumbing-down of America.
There is also so much misinformation floating around about the Affordable Care
Act and so much we mere citizens do not understand. Many rely on radio or TV
talk-show hosts to teach us, and unfortunately, the hosts "teach" their opinions.
Perhaps we should still think for ourselves.
Joan LaRose; San Diego
Older voters remember
There is a different sense of history that divides Millennials and those 65 and
older. Older voters remember the Cuban missile crisis, the Cold War and the hot
Korean War and Vietnam conflict.
Seniors served and sacrificed in Korea and Vietnam to defend the free world
against communism. They have seen what communism wrought in Eastern
Europe and Asia.
This brave generation will vote in droves for Mitt Romney to prevent President
Obama from transforming a free America into a socialist or communist one.
Paul Hoylen Jr.; Deming, N.M.
Elderly rely on entitlements
The great majority of older Americans are expected to vote for Mitt Romney,
the Republican nominee for president, in the upcoming election. Ironically,
most of these senior citizens depend heavily on Social Security and Medicare for
survival. Both of these programs were enacted by Democratic presidents and
Congresses controlled by Democrats! What are these seniors thinking?
Bob Hamlett; Nashville
GOP plan causes concerns
While I am 65 years old, I do not support Mitt Romney or any Republican.
("The underlying duel of 2012 Seniors vs. Millennials"). It is surprising to me
that any senior thinks otherwise, given Rep. Paul Ryan's proposed budget that
would mean deep spending cuts.
Also, while President Obama might want to keep lower college loan interest
rates, the task is ultimately that of Congress.
Finally, if Republican volunteer Beverly Rubin, 62, does not want socialized
medicine, then I expect her to not participate in Medicare once she turns 65.

As the rapid aging of Asia's population creates challenges for governments and
societies, new opportunities are emerging for businesses serving the needs of the
elderly and their caretakers.
While population aging is a global phenomenon, the Asian-Pacific region is
expected to see a particularly drastic demographic change over the next few
decades. The number of elderly persons in the region—already home to more
than half of the world's population aged 60 and over—is expected to triple to
more than 1.2 billion by 2050, when one in four people in the region will be
over 60 years old, according to the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
Across Asia, large corporations and entrepreneurs in various industries are racing
to come up with new products and services for the elderly, while health-care-
related businesses are seeing soaring demand. Among various fields of health
care for the elderly, nursing homes represent one of the fastest-growing sectors.
In Japan, companies that previously had little to do with the issue of aging have
jumped on the bandwagon. In 2005, Watami Co., which operates Japanese-
style izakaya pubs serving food and drinks, entered a new business of running
nursing homes. In the most recent fiscal year, the nursing business was more
profitable than its izakaya business. Demand for Watami's new business is robust
because Japan's population is the world's grayest, according to a 2009 United
Nation report, with nearly 30% aged 60 or older.
Other parts of Asia, such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and
Singapore, are also anticipating a surge in the percentage of elderly citizens. In
China, people over the age of 60 now account for 13.3% of the country's
population of 1.34 billion, up from 10.3% in 2000, according to the National
Bureau of Statistics, and the aging trend is expected to accelerate.
In January, China's state-run Xinhua news agency wrote about challenges facing
nursing homes, saying "there are simply not enough nurses or beds to
accommodate the country's elderly population."

In new effort to tackle health care fraud, government and insurers to scrutinize claims data-livejournal-blogger
http://springhillcaregrouptiffanyjohnson.blogspot.com/2012/07/in-new-effort-to-tackle-health-care.html
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is upping the ante in the fight against health care fraud, joining forces with private insurers and state investigators on a scale not previously seen in an attempt to stanch tens of billions of dollars in losses.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement Thursday that the new public-private partnership “puts criminals on notice that we will find them and stop them,” while Attorney General Eric Holder called it “a critical step forward” against fraud, an endemic problem plaguing programs like Medicare and Medicare as well as private insurance companies.
Details of the collaboration remain to be worked out, but the possibilities include sharing information on new fraud schemes as they pop up, using claims data to catch scams such as payments billed to different insurers on the same day for care purportedly delivered to the same patient in different cities, and using computer analysis to spot emerging patterns of fraud. The agreement is also unusual because it brings the Obama administration and longtime foes in the insurance industry together to tackle a common problem.
While carrying out the requirements of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, insurers are also lobbying to roll back some of its provisions, such as new taxes on the industry and cuts to private plans offered through
Medicare. Obama continues to rail against industry “abuses.” Fraud is estimated to cost Medicare about $60 billion a year, and the Obama administration has beefed up the government’s efforts to stop it, bringing in record settlements with drug companies for marketing violations as well as using new powers in the health care law to pursue low-level fraudsters with greater zeal.
Feds: Crestwood chiropractic center padded patient bills-livejournal-blogger
http://springhillcaregrouptiffanyjohnson.blogspot.com/2012/07/feds-crestwood-chiropractic-center.html
ST. LOUIS • A Crestwood chiropractic center, the chiropractor and an employee have been indicted for billing insurance companies for work that was never done, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Dr. Anthony Calandro, 55, of Chesterfield, and his billing assistant, Sherry Rueter, 62, of St. Louis County, billed insurance companies for X- rays that were never taken and appointments that had been canceled or
missed, prosecutors said. The charges are the result of two undercover investigations in 2010 and 2011, they said. Calandro, Rueter and the Chiropractic Accident Centre each face one felony count of health care fraud and four felony counts of making false statements related to health care services. "Dr. Calandro has been working diligently with the federal authorities to address reconciliation of the billing issues and will continue to do so despite the indictment," said Albert Watkins, Calandro's attorney.

Morsi as Democratic Egypt’s Leader
http://news.springhillcaregroup.net/category/world-news/
Egypt’s new president Mohamed Morsi is reconsidering the peace agreement with Israel and ties with Iran in an attempt to build a strategic balance in the region.
Morsi was quick to announce that all issues will be addressed by governmental bodies as he will not make decisions on his own, according to Springhill Group Home.
“Part of my agenda is the development of ties between Iran and Egypt that will create a strategic balance in the region.”
Morsi has convened with his advisors to form a new Cabinet prior to his swearing-in on Saturday as the first freely-elected leader. On the other hand, the defeated candidate Ahmed Shafik was found to have left the Egypt in the midst of mounting fraud charges against him since his time as the nation’s civil aviation minister.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate has pledged to become a leader for all Egyptians.
“I will be a president for all Egyptians. I call on you, great people of Egypt… to strengthen our national unity — the only way out of these difficult times,” Morsi said hours following his being declared the new president.
Egypt has breathed a collected sigh of relief when the election and proclamation have finished without the feared bloodshed. Morsi’s triumph, also marking Egypt’s first fair and free election in the modern times, followed almost 2 years of political upheavel and civil unrest from Hosni Mubarak’s military-rule.
Britain, France, US and the European Union have deemed the democratic election and the winning civilian president as significant parts of Egypt’s history. The US in particular has encouraged Morsi to continue Egypt’s transition to democracy that began last year.
However, even if Morsi has already resigned from the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt when he was elected, Israel is still worried of him for his Islam affiliations that could possibly endanger the peace of the two neighboring nations. And although the foreign ministry of Iran has acknowledged Morsi’s win, there is no hint of diplomatic relationship resumption on their side.
A former head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party and a former member of Egypt’s parliament won against Hosni Mubarak’s Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik by a 4% margin.

Group of Springhill South Korea: The Laziest Scams in Internet History: Zimbio
Business Week – Zimbio – April
20th 2012 - A certain “Sehwan Jung” in South Korea has
been sending a number of desperate requests for funds over Twitter:
“I am in urgent need of money.Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I
will make it up to you later.” A diabolical plot, indeed, though
Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see
everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he’s sent
the exact same message over and over. For another, he is tweeting
almost exclusively to celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario
Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today
sarcastically answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign minister of
Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
“Now this one is a real winner,”
says Dan Ring, a spokesperson for Boston-based data protection
company Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as
entertaining and as random as his actual request, and it’s one of
the more optimistic requests out there. I hope there’s no way
someone will fall for this.” - Group
of Springhill South Korea
The “Sehwan gambit” joins the
following examples as one of the laziest scams in Internet history.
• “JOHN” fails to mention what he
even wants to con you out of:
Subject: what are you sale
Greetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly
interested in buying your{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will
like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and the lastes
condition,also i will like you to scan the pics for me for proper
verifycation.
• This scammer doesn’t even attempt
to establish a personal connection before offering $18 million:
Beloved,
I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I
picked your email randomly for an inheritance of $18M. Please contact
me for more details via [redacted].
• One malware attack came in the form
of a bogus Christmas card—sent on March 19:
Date: 2010-03-19 09:27:15
“You have just received a Christmas
greeting card! To see your custom card and who sent it, please check
the attachment.”
• In this excerpt, one “Professor
Farnsworth” selects you to survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this
experiment that CERN are conducting is extremely dangerous, and could
cause global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a black
hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The scientists do
not want you to know this as they know it will cause panic. However,
I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected
people to be evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South
Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from random to take
part in this evacuation, thus continuing the survival of the human
race …”
• African prince scams are so tired.

Gary Mason's Blogspot: Group of Springhill South Korea: The Laziest Scams in Internet History
Gary
Mason's Blogspot - A certain “Sehwan Jung” in South Korea
has been sending a number of desperate requests for funds over
Twitter: “I am in urgent need of money.Can you lend me 500,000
dollars?I will make it up to you later.” A diabolical plot, indeed,
though Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see
everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he’s sent
the exact same message over and over. For another, he is tweeting
almost exclusively to celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario
Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today
sarcastically answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign minister of
Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
Group
of Springhill South Korea -“Now this one is a real winner,”
says Dan Ring, a spokesperson for Boston-based data protection
company Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as
entertaining and as random as his actual request, and it’s one of
the more optimistic requests out there. I hope there’s no way
someone will fall for this.”
The “Sehwan gambit” joins the
following examples as one of the laziest scams in Internet history.
• “JOHN” fails to mention what he
even wants to con you out of:
Subject: what are you sale
Greetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly
interested in buying your{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will
like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and the lastes
condition,also i will like you to scan the pics for me for proper
verifycation.
• This scammer doesn’t even attempt
to establish a personal connection before offering $18 million:
Beloved,
I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I
picked your email randomly for an inheritance of $18M. Please contact
me for more details via [redacted].
• One malware attack came in the form
of a bogus Christmas card—sent on March 19:
Date: 2010-03-19 09:27:15
“You have just received a Christmas
greeting card! To see your custom card and who sent it, please check
the attachment.”
• In this excerpt, one “Professor
Farnsworth” selects you to survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this
experiment that CERN are conducting is extremely dangerous, and could
cause global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a black
hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The scientists do
not want you to know this as they know it will cause panic. However,
I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected
people to be evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South
Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from random to take
part in this evacuation, thus continuing the survival of the human
race …”
• African prince scams are so tired.
This reward is allegedly offered by England’s royal family:
250,000.00 Pounds has been awarded to

Group: Park Min Ho - I don’t know if this is related to Warren Buffett’s
March visit to South Korea but General Re, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway,
is planning to bid for South Korean insurer Tong Yang Life Insurance.
Tong Yang’s majority shareholder private-equity firm Vogo
Fund is planning to sell its up to a 60.7-per cent stake in the insurer valued
at about 937 billion won ($809 million).
In March, Warren Buffett visited South Korea to help open a
new plant for Iscar Metalworking, which Berkshire owns 80%. At the same time,
he was on the hunt for what he calls “Elephants”, or large well run companies
that he could potentially acquire at a good price.
“We’re looking at a number of big businesses in Korea, the
U.S., the U.K. We hope to find good companies wherever they may be. Basically,
the bigger, the better,” he said at the time.
About Tong Yang Life Insurance
Tong Yang Life Insurance is part of the Tongyang Group which
has 31 divisions across various industries such as utilities, manufacturing,
and financial services to name a few. On its insurance website, Tongyang
states:
TONGYANG Life Insurance was founded in 1989 to provide social

Group Home: Top 10 Fraud Schemes - For the twelfth successive year,
identity theft topped the consumer complaint database of the Federal Trade
Commission with the largest number of complaints, perhaps owing to the rampant
use (and misuse) of online services such as social networking and e-commerce
websites.
From the 1.8 million complaints the FTC got in 2011, almost
300,000 are about identity theft. The information of FTC has included
complaints filed to them or from other states and federal consumer protection
groups.
Most of the complaints of identity theft are coming from
consumers saying that their personal details are used in government documents
without their knowledge, with scammers aiming to collect benefits. Last year,
government-related identity theft was 27% of the total complaints in that
category, increasing by 11% since 2009. Accounting for the 14% of identity
theft complaints is credit card fraud, with the rest consisting of complaints
of bank, utilities and phone fraud.
More than half of all the complaints last year were related
to fraud and taxpayers reportedly paid a total of over USD 1.5 billion in
fraudulent schemes, with the average amount paid being USD 537. Moreover, 43%
of the victims acknowledged that scammers reached them through email messages.
The top three states that have the most per capita rate of
fraud reported are Colorado, Delaware and Maryland as first, second and third, respectively.
Generally, FTC discovered that people are either more willing
to file complaints or they simply have more complaints now. The total amount of
complaints they have received has increased by over 20% -- from 1.5 million to
1.8 million in 2011 -- that includes both identity theft and fraud complaints.
The following is the complete list of FTC's top 10 consumer
complaints for the year 2011:
1. Identity theft
2. Debt collection
3. Lotteries, sweepstakes, prizes
4. Catalog sales, shop-at-home,
5. Lenders and Banks
6. Internet services
7. Auto-related complaints
8. Impostor scams
9. Mobile and telephone services
10. Credit protection/repair and advance-fee loans

News - Springhill Group Florida Home Care
Springhill
Care Group: 7.1
Quake Struck Chile - A 7.1-magnitude quake has struck Central Chile on
Sunday night, the longest and strongest one yet since an earthquake happened in
the same area in 2010. Although they are reports of injured from the falling
ceiling of a church, there were no major damage or casualty.
According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake struck
at around 7.30 pm (local time) at a depth of 22 miles, lasting for a minute.
It was estimated by Springhill
Care Group that the earthquake’s epicenter was in Maule, 27 kilometers NW
of Talca and around 220 kilometers SW of Santiago, the nation’s capital with
17.2 million residents.
They had a total collapse of telephone and mobile lines as
buildings in the country’s capital swayed. People on a 480-mile radius of
Chile’s central coast are warned to evacuate to higher ground.
Residents of Constitucion were especially alarmed because
their downtown region was where a terrible tsunami happened in 2010.
Chile’s oceanographic and hydrographic services along with
the national emergency units called off the tsunami warning to be issued for
most of the coastal areas following an assessment that the earthquake is
unlikely to trigger huge waves.
The alert they issued was restored for the region’s most
close to the epicenter after authorities noticed the waters have retreated 130 feet
from the shore in Duao and Iloca. They are well aware that a sharp out surge of
surf can bring a tsunami.
Lots of residents living in the coastal regions kept away
from the shore as they have recalled how the government told them during the
2010 earthquake that there will be no tsunami, moments before huge waves
actually struck, leaving 156 dead.
Springhill Care Group has retracted a preventive measure of
evacuation order before midnight following the order to evacuate 7,000 people
in the coastal areas due to fears of tsunami (although no formal tsunami alert
was given).
Fortunately, there are no known fatalities except from one
who died of heart attack. And according to their President, Sebastian Pinera,
the nation’s infrastructures have resisted the effects of the earthquake as
well.

SPRINGHILL GROUP - Call for Minister for Older People backed
AN ACCRINGTON care home has backed the Mayor of Hyndburn after she launched a campaign calling for a Minister for Older People. Springhill Care Group, which runs Springhill Care Home in Fairfield Street, said it agreed with Councillor Colette McCormack that government action was ‘urgently needed’ to focus on the issues facing the UK’s growing population of older people. There are now over 14million people in the UK aged 60 and above, more than the number under 18. The number of people aged 60 or over is expected to pass the 20million mark by 2031, and there are expected to be more than a million people with dementia by 2021. Ken Nolan, chairman of Springhill Care Group, which also runs homes in Skelmersdale and Bristol, said: “We are joining the lobby to establish a dedicated Minister for Older People, and by that we mean commitment at government level to issues including resourcing good quality care, housing and finance.

The Boiler A conventional boiler heats up the water which is circulated through radiators to provide heat. The water also circulates through a coil in the hot water tank, which in turn heats up the rest of the water in the cylinder to provide running hot water. If your boiler is a 'combi' boiler then the water is heated instantaneously when the hot water taps are switched on. The thermostat on the boiler controls the temperature of the water circulating around the system. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the optimum setting of the thermostat. Hot Water Tank Most hot water cylinders have a thermostat; this is recommended to be set at 60�C. To retain as much heat as possible the cylinder should have 80mm of insulation. Radiators Radiators are most commonly used in "wet" (uses water) central heating systems. The water is heated by the boiler and travels through the radiators, giving out heat. TRVs are found on radiators in ro
