As biomedical innovation has developed advanced therapeutic modalities and prospective cures for ailments that previously had no comparable courses of treatment, the challenge of crafting sustainable reimbursement models has inspired a variety of value-based agreements. Departure from traditional dosage-based models makes it difficult for therapy developers, payers, patients, and investors to plan for a new therapy’s rollout and breadth of patient access. This session will explore the early lessons from current value-based agreements to explain the payers’ expectations for future models of reimbursing treatments based on outcomes versus delivery.

I guess curb appeal is important when you're selling a jeep too. Or maybe the owner is just a gardener. This jeep was a quarter mile away from our motel so I got to enjoy it several times over the weekend.
Lee Bros. Value World located at 3848 Castro Valley Blvd. in Castro Valley,CA. The building was later occupied by a Payless Drug Store which until the late 1990's hadnt made and major renovation to the facade of the building. (Unfortunately I didnt get a photograph) The building is currently occupied by a Rite Aid which has not put any effort into both the inside and outside of the store.

For a photo walk along the Rhône banks, Lyon, France, I took again my Praktica IV camera but equipped this time with a Helios-44M lens :2 f=58mm, the normal lens of my Zenit 122 camera.
With the Helios-44M-6 lens, the diaphragm is stopped down automatically to the selected aperture value by pressing the shutter release but there is no auto/manual selection possible from the lens. For all the views the lens was equipped with a yellow screw-on 52mm filter assuming a coefficient of x2. The lens was also equipped with generic modern cylindric shade hood.
The Praktica camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ and exposed for 200 ISO instead of 400 to compensate the yellow filter absorption. Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The weather was relatively cloudy (13h30-16h30) giving typical exposures of 1/100s at f/8.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6min.
The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printing framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
--------------------------------------
About the camera :
I got the camera body Praktica IV and a set of related KDH Leipzig accessories from an eBay seller near Paris, France.. The whole arrived to me on January, 31, 2024, in Lyon, France.
The Praktica IV was designed by the prestigious KW (Kamera Werk Niedersedlitz) German company in Dresden on the basis of their previous Praktica FX SLR camera's. The camera was produced first under the KW name starting from June 1959 then within the Kombinat VEB Pentacon after the merge of the company in 1960.
166.800 Praktica IV and V (6 models) were produced until January 1966. Praktica IV essentially incorporates a condenser focusing screen plus a pentaprism. Due to the Praktica FX architecture the Pentaprism looks protruding from the camera body with an unusual style. It fits lenses with M42x1 mount and the mirror has no automatic return. The shutter is made of two horizontal curtains of rubberized fabric giving 1/500s to 1/2s plus B in two registers of slow speeds (1/2s to 1/10s) and high speeds (1/25s to 1/500s). The film is advanced coupled to the shutter cocking using either the right upper button or the rapid lever underneath the body.
The Praktica IV handles the "Auto" M42 lenses with the lever for automatic iris closing upon the release. Sequentially, when pressing the shutter release button, the diaphragm closes to the indicated value, the mirror is lift-off and finally the shutter is erased at the given value. If a non-auto (manual closing) M42 is used the pushing lever could be cancelled (declutched) moving a small red button to the right in the mirror chamber.
The camera camera came without lens but with a body cap and the original ever-ready leather bag with et "Ernermann tower" Pentacon logo. This model is likely the second Praktica IV essentially the same as the initial KW one with a different front plate. The camera was likely art of a collection and is completely preserved without use marks.
The KDH Leipzig (Kurt-Dieter Huffziger Foto- und Kinozubehör) accessories set included:
-A panoramic tripod head
-A set of three extension tubes M42x1)
- A big aluminum shade hood (screw-on 49mm) for wide-angle lens.
- A M42x1 metal body cap in its original box.
- An accessory shoe fitting the the Praktica IV eye piece.
-------------------------------------
About the lens :
The normal lens fitted on the camera using the M42 mount is the multi-coated version 6 of the Helios 44M manufactured at Юпитер, (Оптико-механический завод «Юпитер» , "Jupiter") Valday, Novgorod region. Helios-44 lens directly derived from the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar lens 1:2 f=58mm.
It came with my Zenit-122 that was produced in 1994 by the Russian company KMZ (Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. Zenit-122 were also manufactured by BelOMO factory. From 1990 to 2005, about 2 millions of Zenit-122 were overall produced. The camera is built on the tough previous Zenit chassis and uses the same curtain Leica-type shutter with no slow speeds. The body is cased with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) thermoplastic. Zenit-122 is equipped with a two CdS cells for light metering (25-400 ISO) using a LED indicator in the viewfinder.

Another one of my idols growing up in the 70's was Mark Roth, seen here signing a True-Value cap for some fan. Mark is considered by many as being the pioneer of the "crank" shot in bowling and was a formidable opponent for all of the late 70's and early 80's. Unfortunately his career was cut short a few years ago from a massive stroke. He competed on the senior tour right up until that time.
I saw value finders in a quilt store years ago but didn't really understand how they worked. Nevertheless, I went to an art store and found the red and green acetate and made a crude one of my own...but only out of the red paper - because I didn't know why I needed both.
My Colombian quilt group - wonderful traditional quilters - are always auditioning fabrics when we meet - and getting the opinions of the other ladies. Last week I told them about value finders and then decided to come home to make them one.
I made them each one using the red paper and then googled ' value finder' to make sure I was calling it the right thing.
Well...little did I know that you need both! The red can't see reds and the green can't see greens.
So, I got busy and made the green value finders and attached them with a loop.
This tool helps with ANY art media be it fabric, paint, markers, paper... where-ever you use color.
FT. Buchanan, PR – “We are here to honor Col. Miguel A. Isaac as he takes off the uniform of military he has served for the past 35 years. Today, we say good bye to a value leader who has served with honor and distinction throughout a long and successful career, military and civilian.” said Brig. Gen. José R. Burgos, U.S. Army Reserve in Puerto Rico Commanding General on his opening remarks on the Retirement Ceremony of Col. Miguel A. Isaac, Deputy Commander and Commander Executive Officer (CXO) of the 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC) on 11 Jan.
The Military retirement ceremonies give the opportunities to friends, colleagues and others to thank the retiring Soldiers for his service and sacrifice made during his career. In this occasion, the 1st MSC hold a very special ceremony to Col. Isaac while he prepares to take a rest of the military life after 35 year when he was commissioned on June 1979 as Signal Officer.
“Since 1979 Miguel understood that the military will deal in an environment that is full of changes and surprises, it is for that reason that adaption and flexibility are keys to success. With your leadership the 1st MSC is one of the top commands of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, and I thank you for that. Throughout all you career, you set the example for your people and inspired their confidence. You gave them the right tools, push them forward and got out their way so they could do their best work, and they have.” add Brig. Gen. Burgos on his remark and extending his gratitude also to Ms. Sandra Isaac, Miguel Jr. and Alexandra, Col. Isaac family.
Col. Isaac was responsible for the direct supervision of two subordinates’ elements consisting of two Regional Support Groups and the 1st MSC Headquarters. He was responsible for all aspects of command, with emphasis on providing ready units and trained Soldiers capable of performing their wartime missions. His focus areas include Soldier mobilization, recruitment, retention, readiness, safety, and the Family Readiness Program. Since June, 2002, Mr. Isaac serves as CXO of the 1st MSC, US Army Reserve in Puerto Rico. The 1st MSC is a command of over 3,900 Soldiers covering the entire island of Puerto Rico and Saint Thomas, V.I. Mr. Isaac served as primary advisor and consultant to the Commander on policy matters relative to various phases of Army Reserve Program and other missions of the command.
“I am retiring but my legacy will continue. Is being a journey of 35 years, I have visited many countries and meet different people. Coming for a very humble childhood I never thought about being here today, retiring as US Army Colonel in this fine Army that have given me and my family so much, that I am so grateful to serve my country. As a baby-boomer all good thing has come to an end, and start a new way of life. I hope and I wish you all have a bless life like I have, and you do your most and best in all your endeavors. How I will like to be remembered? Very simple, that I placed my missions first, that I was part of a team but I also like to have fun. It was all about the Soldiers, it was not about me. I have to say goodbye, but goodbyes are not forever, that’s only means that I will miss you until we meet again. I salute you all.” said Col. Isaac on his final remarks as he thank the Soldiers, the civilian force, family and friends to support him during his career.

88 East Cordova Street, Vancouver, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Boyd Building is a one-storey commercial building at 88 East Cordova Street in Vancouver 's historic Gastown.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Boyd Building is found in its association with Thomas Boyd, its architecture, and its place in the streetscape of Cordova Street.
Thomas Boyd, his widow, and later his daughter, owned this lot for almost ninety years, from the late nineteenth century until 1989. Boyd, who arrived in Vancouver in 1884, took great personal pride in his status as a 'pioneer.' A contractor, he played an active role in creating the city, clearing the rights-of-way for Granville Street and for Park Drive in Stanley Park. Working on his own and with others, he also purchased real estate, and designed and constructed numerous buildings, including this one. These associations illustrate how contractors also acted as developers and designers, helping to shape the city.
Likely built in 1928, this brick building replaced an earlier timber structure on the same site. Located adjacent to the Columbia Hotel, it served first as an extension of the hotel. Later, it was rented to a series of tenants, including for a long period, E.W. Grant and Son, who operated a sheet metal works here. Both of these uses fit well with the immediate neighborhood, where hotels and hardware stores, big and small, sat cheek to jowl. The modest scale of the building reflects the relatively late date of construction. By 1928, the hub of Vancouver's commercial activity had shifted west and Cordova Street was no longer the city's most important shopping street. The contrast between the scale of this building and those nearby, erected earlier, illustrate this change in Gastown's place in the larger city.
The architecture of the building also contributes to its heritage value. Its modest scale, parapet, and pilasters make it read as part of the neighbouring hotel. It also blends well with its neighbours to the west, helping to create a sense of a coherent streetscape. The arrangement of the storefront reflects a standard shop design that, in Vancouver, endured from the late nineteenth century until well into the 1950s.

Character-Defining Elements:
The character-defiining elements of the Boyd Building include:
- single storey building occupying entire lot adjacent to a large hotel structure
- architectural elements that emulate those on the Columbia Hotel, including the string course, the sheet metal cornice, and the pilasters
- the articulation of the street frontage, in particular the way that the shop front is recessed to emphasize the pilasters
- the arrangement and components of the storefront, including the large plate glass windows with low sills, low level transom panels, and recessed central doorway
- the mixed history of use, which reflects various phases in the history of Cordova Street

Apparently, someone at Costa coffee in Southampton decided that to show the luxury of the brand, they'd print receipts on huge bits of useless paper and have small chocolate brownies.
Oh yes, I'm impressed by wastes of paper and stingy portions.
(The brownie was delicious, and the coffee strong - btw)
I found this at Value Village for .69 cents!!! The lady at the checkout kept turning it upside down telling me it was some sort of glass lampshade part. Haha. it was all covered in wax and grime and I didn't realize it was signed on the bottom until after I cleaned it!
You see Wasi is not like many of us, he has always been simple and down to earth. His equations for life are simple and easy to solve, but the problem is there are just too many variables in his equations with constantly changing values. Thus wasi is often confused and lost. Not his fault, its just the entire HUMAN RACE.
