Just a few months ago I wrote a blog post about healthcare data on the cloud (HIPPA Cloud Storage) and the security concerns surrounding this very sensitive and valuable data. I mentioned that as with many industries, more healthcare data is being moved to the cloud, but the healthcare industry has remained a few paces behind others in terms of securing online data.
The safety of personal healthcare information on the cloud continues to be an important topic, specifically in regards to government-issued guidelines. There are new requirements going into effect this year that expand on how HIPAA and HITECH standards regulate healthcare data on the cloud.
For years, HIPAA has required healthcare organizations to maintain confidentiality of electronic health information that can be linked back to an individual. More recently, HITECH provisions further strengthened HIPAA penalties and high risk merchant account .
This year's new provision to HIPAA, known as the Omnibus final rule, has its compliance date coming up in September 2013. There are important implications for vendors that are involved in any way with storing, transmitting or otherwise handling personal healthcare records. Anyone involved in those capacities is now known as a "Business Associate" and is therefore subject to the compliance regulations put forth in HIPAA. Those not compliant with HIPAA rules are subject to various penalties, including fines, as in the case of the recently announced Wellpoint fine.
As I have written about before, both "Covered Entities" (Healthcare providers, etc.) and Business Associates looking to leverage cloud services but keep sensitive patient information within their full control have been leveraging a new class of technologies known as Cloud Data Protection Gateways. These gateways intercept sensitive data while it is still on-premise, encrypts or replaces it with a random token and protects the data whether at rest, in transit or on the cloud. Encryption and Tokenization techniques deployed within these gateways are a viable solution to help organizations stay compliant.
As industry and government regulations surrounding HIPAA and the cloud continue to impact cloud users and providers, I will keep this blog up to date on changes and on solutions to stay on top of requirements.
Currently the IPSP space is dominated by a few major players like PayPal, Google Wallet and Amazon Payments, but emerging companies like SegPay are starting to garner more interest from clients that are looking for a higher level of customer service, more flexibility, an easily navigable dashboard, and customizable features. Beyond that, SegPay ensures multiple levels of compliance and has strong relationships with banking institutions around the world, delivering a blend of security and ease of use.
"Customer service is the key differentiator for SegPay," said Cathy Beardsley, CEO of SegPay. "When you need to talk with someone or get an immediate answer to a question, we are there. SegPay aims to give its customers the benefits of a full service partner, while remaining a cost competitive alternative. That's something you won't get anywhere else."
SegPay's transaction fees are on par with its larger competitors, but the company sets itself apart by providing additional value and ease of use to its customers."Webmasters and developers have enough to worry them without trying to navigate the regulations and technology surrounding online payments," Beardsley said. "At SegPay, we take the stress out of the equation by providing reliable, full-service payment solutions that conform to a client's business."
With Beardsley at the helm, SegPay has developed extensive expertise in affiliate marketing, often being asked by banking institutions to speak about detecting and preventing affiliate fraud. The company's work in fraud prevention is just one more way to ensure the fulfilment of the company mantra: "You get paid before we do."
"Leaf has done a great job focusing on the needs of SMBs and building an open and accommodating platform to meet their varying needs. We're very excited to partner with Leaf and leverage our mobile SDK to add value to their solution, merchant customers, and ultimately provide flexibility of payments to consumers," says DoubleBeam CEO Ted Tekippe.
DoubleBeam's e-Check app is one of the first publicly-announced apps for the Leaf Appstore, the first app store dedicated to the needs of brick and mortar businesses. The recently announced Leaf Appstore enables third-party developers such as DoubleBeam to extend the core features built into the LeafPresenter POS tablet and LeafBusiness, the company's cloud-based management and analytics portal.
"Running a small business has become much more complicated than it should be, and many times that's because merchants are forced to work the way their technology works," said Aron Schwarzkopf, Leaf's founder and CEO. "By building our own POS tablet that includes the latest technology, and then opening the platform for creative developers to solve common challenges merchants face, we're making sure they can work the way they want to. DoubleBeam's e-Check app is a great example of that."
In addition to its open platform for third-party developers, Leaf maintains an agnostic approach to payment acceptance, meaning that merchants using its platform can work with virtually any payment provider of their choice – from traditional credit card and gift card processors, to next generation payment methods and a number of digital wallets. With DoubleBeam's e-Check app, they can now use the LeafPresenter to accept checks just as easily.

Public-private partnerships can stimulate national
After reading the 2013/14 financial year Budget, I realised that it’s high time Uganda initiated some contemporary forms of project financing. Our country has pressing infrastructure needs which must be addressed by enhanced performance in key primary growth-stimulating sectors that will aid fundamental growth. Can Uganda singly finance her major development “conduits” in the short run? Whereas this is what any pro-development Ugandan would quest for, the answer is a big No!
So, if we cannot singly finance our development programmes from the local revenue least the population would stride for insurrections against Uganda Revenue Authority’s Allen Kagina for “over squeezing water from a rock, moreover in a dry season, does it mean our development programmes should lag behind or we wait for three to four years when the first barrel of oil is expected? We have many options awaiting our hard work.
Let me shed some light on this modern way of project financing that presses minimal burden on the government and taxpayer - the fundamental concept of Public-Private Partnerships PPPs, and the different rationales for their use.
PPPs have been defined in various ways but I will point out a generic definition: “A contractual arrangement between the government and private sector provider in which the two parties enter into a long-term agreement, up to 20 to 30 years, to build a new infrastructure facility or to rehabilitate an existing one for the purpose of undertaking a public service on behalf of the government.
The private party is required, under the terms of the project agreement, to take responsibility to mobilise finance equity as well as debt in order to complete the facility according to agreed specifications and schedule and the latter would benefit by way of i compensation from a revenue fund, ii charges or fees collected by the private party from users or customers, or iii a combination of compensation and charges or fees.
The private party is liable for the risks arising from the performance of its function; and offshore merchant account, equipment or other State resources may be transferred or made available to the private party.” A thorough reading of my definition will certainly point the readers to public entities as key engines to drive Uganda to the next level so as to be in consonance with Vision 2040.
Based on the definition above, it is obvious that PPPs can cover many different sectors and also include different levels of risk-transfer/ risk-sharing between the public and private sectors. This flexibility on the issue of “what is considered as PPP” can allow numerous innovations and variations in structuring projects, as long as they further the overall goal of PPPs, namely, to provide more available and high quality public services that are affordable, and which provide better value for money to both government and end-users without necessarily overstraining the government and the taxpayer.
Specifically, the most important reason behind PPPs is that while the public sector is accountable for ensuring that public services get delivered, it is not, in many cases, the best service provider in terms of cost, quality and ability to manage commercial risks. This limited ability of the public sector to manage commercial performance well is aggravated by the accelerating demand for infrastructure in developing economies of which Uganda is no exception.
PPPs offer better value for public money throughout the entire life of the project by: allocation of each of the project’s risks to the party that is best placed to manage each risk, harnessing of private sector’s incentives for better innovation, and commercial management expertise by involving the private sector more directly in the provision of public services, more efficient project delivery based on performance-based management principles, often transferring of financing responsibility to the private sector, thus freeing up limited public sector capital budgets to address other pressing social and developmental priorities. Some multilateral development partners, as one of the measures to ensure project viability, make institutionalisation of PPPs a pre-requisite for governments to qualify for funding.
The Uganda Government PPP Framework Policy, which Cabinet approved on March 10, 2010, gives mandate to relevant government departments to be responsible for implementation of PPPs while working closely with the Ministry of Finance’s PPP Unit. Implementation of PPPs, however, imposes financial commitment on the government’s future Budgets, thus requiring approval from Ministry of Finance.
My interpretation, therefore, is not meant to cause unnecessary exhilaration to the accounting officers of some of the entities as PPP regime requires a lot of planning, feasibility analysis, project screening and stakeholder management strategies. It is not uncommon for PPPs, despite their justification, to collapse on the shoulders of their initiators during the planning and procurement stages due to lack of proper planning when a lot of resources both human and financial have been wasted.
Reports have begun to circulate that you are linked with a move to Liverpool. As each day turns into night, the coverage on your transfer has grown stronger. People close to Shakthar say your arrival at Anfield is imminent. I hope they are right. I hope that every newspaper that has linked you to Liverpool proves accurate. You see – we don’t really boast a good track record with players linked with us. A prime example was last year when Tottenham hijacked our moves for Clint Dempsey and Gussi Sigurdsson, who if had joined Liverpool, we would have possibly finished in the top 4. With you, it could be different. At least I hope so faithfully. There are rumors linking you elsewhere which simultaneously propel my sanguinity towards pleading you to join the Reds.
You could wonder – why a club that was once the most illustrious is in dire need of your services. You are right to question our so called ascent to the Champions League. Since we finished second to United about five years ago, we have rarely posed a threat in the Premier League to the “New Top 4”. Henrikh, even our coaching staff, once the most stable position in English Football, has switched as often as the value of the British pound.
Kirkby, arguably dubbed to be the magma of producing the greatest talents in British Football, is enduring a meager revival after a dry, unfertile spell. Three years ago, our record was greater than Manchester United. Today, we are the benign interest of the Red Devils’ mockery. Our trophy cabinet has been heaved with dust since the end of the Kenny Dalglish’s first managerial spell at Liverpool. The more and more I dwell into our misfortunes, you might consider not coming at Anfield to don the Liverbird on your chest.

Half of China's millionaires want to emigrate
It surveyed 2,600 "high net worth individuals" and found that nearly 60 per cent of interviewees were either considering emigration through investment overseas or had already completed the process.
Now, another study has been released that broadly confirms the earlier findings. This one, conducted by the Hurun Research Institute and the Bank of China, interviewed 980 wealthy individuals between May and September. It reported that 46 per cent of respondents, all of whom had personal assets over 10 million yuan, or about US$1.5 million (RM4.6 million), said they intended to emigrate. Of those, 14 per cent had completed emigration procedures. There are about a million such millionaires in China.
The study found that a third of such high net worth individuals already own assets overseas, mostly in real estate. Another 30 per cent are considering acquiring such assets within three years. Acquiring overseas assets is a step towards applying for investment immigration.
As to why wealthy people want to leave China, mostly for the United States and Canada, the reasons given often are that they want their children to have access to better education overseas, concerns about the security of their assets on the mainland and better living conditions.
The fact that such a high proportion of its most successful citizens want to leave the country clearly suggests that they perceive problems in China. Their departure will also inevitably be accompanied by a massive outflow of funds.
This is a wake-up call for the Chinese government. Almost a decade ago, under President Jiang Zemin, the Communist Party decided to admit capitalists into the party to give business people a bigger voice in decision-making. That was a step in the right direction.
Evidently, however, more needs to be done. Concerns expressed about the security of assets reflect continuing apprehension about changes in the party's policies. For example, although private property is now enshrined in the constitution, state-owned enterprises are favoured when banks give out loans. This is something within the government's control to change.
The attraction of a better standard of living overseas is understandable, especially when major Chinese cities are regularly enveloped in a haze and the drinking water is unsafe.
The government is not even honestly reporting the gravity of the polluted air that everyone must breathe every day. For example, in recent days, the American embassy, which measures air quality, has disclosed that it is hazardous to breathe the air in Beijing but the municipal authorities say that the air is only slightly polluted. In fact, China does not even measure fine particulates known as PM 2.5, which are so small that they can penetrate deep into the lungs.
Chinese leaders, it turns out, benefit from special air purifiers in their offices and homes. This is in addition to receiving organic foods grown on government-run farms that do not use synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers.
Although China proudly proclaims that it has a "people-centred government", it does not look so good for those people to find out that the government is giving itself the best of everything, including housing, schools, food -- and even air.
Most Chinese people do not have the means to leave, but the rich do and, if the government wants to halt the stampede out of the country by some of its most talented and wealthiest citizens, it will have to respond to their demands.
Some things should not be hard to do. To ease apprehension over changes in policy, the government should increase transparency of the decision-making process and allow the free flow of information.
Allowing more international schools with high educational standards without interference by the Communist Party should also be possible. If parents feel that their children are getting as good an education in China as they would overseas, there would be less reason for them to want to leave.
Another step may be harder: dismantle the system of privileges for party leaders. By doing so, the leaders will show that they are not living in a cocoon but are really sharing weal and woe with the people and understand what they are going through.
If the Chinese government takes such steps, it will show that it has confidence in itself, which, in turn, will lead to greater confidence in it on the part of the people. If it doesn't, the haemorrhage in wealth and talent will continue.

Childproof knife block and other award-winning home safety designs on display in Chicago
The student design competition is sponsored by the International Housewares
Association (IHA) and has a different theme each year. This year students were tasked
with designing products that help children and disabled people live healthier and
safer lives. In 2011 the competition attracted 165 entries from 23 design schools
across North America and Europe. the winning designs were chosen by a jury of industry
professionals and retailers.
The winning entry, announced in February, was the Illumine - The Pathway to Safety
which was designed by Welsey York at the University of Southern Illinois. The Illumine
is an emergency lighting system which illuminates the floor and guides those inside to
safety via a series of LEDs.
Second prize was jointly awarded to Chet Larrow from the University of Cincinnati for
the Barnacle Air Purifier and Katyln Ross from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and
Design for her first aid system Quick Fix.
With the aid of a battery-powered motor the Barnacle Air Purifier extracts dirty air,
removes pollutants and re-circulates clean air into the home, while the Quick Fix
First Aid System organizes the contents of a first aid kit into smaller sections
complete with simple instructions - the designer claims this allows first aid
decisions to be made faster and the correct supplies easier to access.
Third place was awarded to three candidates, Brendan Joyce from Purdue University,
Kevin Wu from the University of Illinois and Yu Zou from Arizona State University.
Joyce designed the Safe Guardian, a rubbish disposal unit that automatically shuts
down when metallic objects are dropped in it, Wu designed the Eiffel, a single-serve
coffee brewer that rests over a cup and Zou designed The Block a knife block with a
safety lock which prevents children removing knives.
The latest home accessories and housewares will also be on display later in the year
at the Hong Kong Houseware Fair at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center from
April 20-23.

Air Purifiers Can Help People Suffering from Asthma and Other Breathing Difficulties
Allergies are a distressing condition and there are plenty of people who suffer from
them. Sneezing, watery, puffy eyes are just two of the more common symptoms of a
allergy sufferer but many have problems breathing as well. The probability that this
will occur is at some time of the year, most likely during flowers start to bloom and
pollens start to scatter.It may also depend on the area you live in because some areas
are more contaminated with these impurities than others. Allergy relief purifiers are a
relatively new discovery, designed to help sufferers but are they any good?
You don't have to be outside for allergies to hit you so an electronic air cleaner can
be of use in the home and it's a known fact that you will experience more contaminants
in your home than anywhere else. Our homes are like enclosed spaces where we breathe in
and out the same air on a continuous basis. Attacks that can set off very quickly may
be caused by some of the common things found at home such as the dust and dust mites.
The function of the allergy relief electronic air cleaner or air purifier is to purify
the circulating air which you are breathing and eradicate all the floating particles
which are behind the attacks.
Since most of the allergy relief electronic air cleaners or air purifiers are made in
portable form, you can use it in any room and carry it along anywhere in the house as
all it needs is to be plugged to an outlet.Some units of these units can get rid of
other odors that can trigger attacks such as those coming from the perfume or air
fresheners aside from dust and dust mites.They could also entrap all the smoke or smoke
odors which also sometimes start an attack, so that you no longer have to be a passive
smoker.A smoker usually carries the smoke smell on their hands, hair and clothes so
every time you sit close to a smoker you can expect an attack forthcoming. The job of
the electronic air cleaner is to entrap the smoke and the smoke smell and pass it
through its filtering system to release only fresh clean oxygen which you then breathe
in.
There is no problem in procuring electronic air cleaners as they are abundantly
available in a wide selection of outlets like home improvement stores or stores which
stock clothes, groceries and other types of home improvement items. Several types of
units are available in the market with many made specifically for domestic use. There
are units designed for room use only and some for utilization around the house with
some pieces that be placed into your car or truck are also available as well as units
that are necklace-like in form which you can bring along with you to give you filtered
air wherever you go. I have even seen an allergy relief electronic air cleaner built in
to your cat box to remove odors!
Hopefully we've helped you out and gave you some useful and much needed advice on the
power of home air purifiers. Take care and be healthy.
