Car specifications
The basics aren't likely to get you particularly hot under the collar. The B-Max is a small MPV extrapolated from Ford's basic B3 Fiesta platform, but pushing Focus size by being 110mm longer than the supermini that spawned it. So it's - unsurprisingly - slightly smaller than the C-Max, but shares the gently edgy family face and general architecture: five seats, very upright stance, lots of headroom, decidedly practical profile. Think competition for the Vauxhall Meriva and forthcoming Fiat 500L - daily family transport for those who still appreciate a car that's easy to slot into a standard urban parking space.
The B-Max does have a significant USP, though, the Ford Easy Access Door System, which lends itself to a handy acronym that nobody seems keen to use. While the front doors are conventionally front-hinged efforts, the rear doors (on both sides) slide rearwards. Nothing too exceptional in that, you might think, until you realise that they do so independently of the fronts and leave no space-sapping B-pillar. The strengthening structures necessary to stop the B-Max from folding itself into a pair of dimensions at the first roundabout are secreted in the door structures themselves and in the wide sills. Sounds a bit like a gimmick on a car this small, but it works surprisingly well. Once you've opened both sets, you're faced with an unbroken - bar the front seats themselves - one-and-a-half metre gap and an ostensibly open-sided vehicle.
I know this doesn't sound like groundbreaking news, but shuffle the B-Max into a tight car-parking space and try to undock a toddler from a high-sided child seat, and the rear sliding doors and lack of a B-pillar really do make a difference. There's also a surprising amount of space left free for securing said children into boosters without the usual spine-snapping contortions. And, if you've got slightly older spawn to corral, you'll find that leaving your front door open and opening the rear leaves you a decent controlled area to disembark bouncy, unwittingly suicidal, small people.
Apart from the slick doors, there are the more usual helpful touches. The rear bench doesn't slide, but the rear seats split and fold flat with a one-handed action, as does that front passenger seat, meaning that you can stick something 2.35m long into the space without a problem (and, yes, we are thinking flat-pack wardrobes). There's a tonne - metaphorical, not literal - of storage space in the doors, a double-deck bootfloor, storage nets, bins and cubbies. It might not have a great deal of surprise and delight, but it's all intuitively easy to use and feels up to the job of being pawed by little hands coated in the sweetie equivalent of nuclear waste. None of the various elements are particularly revolutionary, but all of it is useful.
The car we're driving is a reasonably humdrum 88bhp, 1.4-litre Duratec in Zetec trim, which frankly makes the B-Max feel slightly heavier and less sprightly than the excellent suspension is capable of dealing with. And yes, the B-Max really scores with the way it drives. On these Zetec-spec 15-inch alloys, it initially feels a little stiff, but, after a couple of speed bumps or decent potholes, you realise that the car is firm but not hard, and unlikely to make anyone seasick - a real issue for kids in very softly suspended people carriers. It also means that the B-Max (whisper this quietly) is actually a little bit of fun to drive in what some call a 'spirited fashion'. It feels like a much bigger, more expensive car, helped by the fact that it's extremely quiet both on pimply UK B-roads and thrumming at 70mph on motorways.
This is also from the very specific perspective of this rather dull, small, naturally aspirated 1.4 four-pot. It punts the little B-Max along adequately, but the lack of torque doesn't bode well for a properly full load. The engine range consists of four petrols, made up of four-cylinder variants in 1.4 or 1.6 flavours, and two versions of the 1.0-litre three-pot with either 98bhp or 118bhp, or a pair of diesels - 1.5 (73bhp) and 1.6 (93bhp). All come with a standard five-speed manual gearbox. If money were no object, we'd be immediately more tempted by one of Ford's excellent EcoBoost engines, and the fastest 118bhp, 147lb ft version of the 1.0-litre is sprightly (11.2 seconds to 62mph), frugal (57.7mpg) and full of helpful turbocharged torque in the areas where the basic naturally aspirated four-pot gets a bit breathless. Mind you, the trick triple only comes in Titanium spec (16-inch alloys, cruise, leathery bits on wheel and gearknob, better stereo, heated seats and the like), which pumps the price to a rather stiff £18,195.
At the other end, this 1.4 is the only engine available in the most basic Studio trim, which includes all the essentials (electric windows all round, electric mirrors, ESP, EBA, IPS with front, side, knee and curtain airbags, remote locking), but if you manage to keep fingers from the option buttons, the basic B-Max in this format weighsin at £12,995. Which is Fiesta money,and therefore cheap.
It's a good effort, the B-Max. It may not be a dream car, but, specified with restraint, it's cheap, useful and has a genuine USP with that door set-up. The only problem? Fiat is soon set to launch the 500L into the same sector, and that's likely to be a bit more fashionable - even if it doesn't have the super-practical doors.
The competition

Notes on the Bob Dylan in the UK map
Curated by
Bibliography - online
Dylan fan Steve Heath researched much of the content for this map. We'd like to extend a huge thanks to Steve for his time, input and patience. Steve is a member of UK Dylan tribute act, The Bob Dylan Experience - do check them out!
We used a number of online sources as part of our research:
- The official Bob Dylan website.
- The best online source of Dylan news, Expecting Rain and its online forum.
- Bill Pagel's BobLinks archive of concerts (and the people who shared reviews with him!)
- Olof Bjorner's excellent and detailled pages on Dylan.
- The DylanStubs website (please see the image section below)
- The cinema treasures website which details the history of cinemas and theatres across the UK.
- A number of online articles, reviews and features in The Guardian, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph.
Bibliography - offline
As well as web-based sources, we also used a number of books as part of our research, including in no particular order:
- Still on the Road by Clinton Heylin
- Stealing Dylan from Woodstock by Ray Foulk
- Down the Highway - The Life of Bob Dylan by Howard Sounes
- Behind the Shades - Clinton Heylin
- Lyrics by Bob Dylan
Music Heritage UK - content
We also made the most of Music Heritage UK created online content, including:
- Our podcasts with Ray Foulk, founder of the Isle of Wight Festival.
- A blog post we wrote to coincide with Dylan's 70th birthday.
Most images come from a variety of creative common sources (including Wikipedia and related sites, Flickr) and are linked to at the bottom of each entry. Music Heritage UK is a charity and all images are included for historical/educational/cultural purposes only. Every effort was made to find the original owners.
In addition to the above we sourced poster and ticket scans from the excellent DylanStubs website. These are included for informative/educational purposes only. If you're a fan we'd recommend searching their extensive archive of tickets, posters, setlists and photographs.
If you are the image rights holder, and would like your content removed, please email us here and we'll look into it and take down the offending item.
Our maps currently use the Carto platform (formerly "CartoDB") as it has given us the best in terms of flexibility and presentation. The images are hosted externally on Ultra IMG. For more on why we chose these services, their limitations, and our next steps in terms of adding extra functionality, please see our blog post around our Stones in London map which summarised our findings from working on our first map.
Proud to use the platform.
Mistakes? Additions? Ideas? Future themes?
Before you ask... please bear in mind we're on version one of our map platform, and we currently can't embed content from YouTube, Spotify or elsewhere! We're working on bringing this functionality to our maps in the future.
However, please do get in touch with us if there's something else we've missed, got wrong or simply forgot about! We'd love to hear from you!

If you or somebody you love have been hurt in a construction truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Insurance companies want to offer you the least amount to settle your claim.
Construction truck accidents require an experienced attorney who knows the law. We win or settle 99% of cases. Contact us now and let's begin your claim.
In order to receive just compensation, you need an attorney who is experienced in investigating these incidents to determine which parties are liable. Call Isaacs & Isaacs now. We have recovered over $890 million for our clients who have been injured as a result of somebody else's negligence or wrongful act.
Accidents involving big construction trucks occur frequently. These dangerous trucks can cause serious wrecks while traveling back and forth to a construction site or as other vehicles pass a road construction site. They can and do injure and kill construction workers at work sites. These big, potentially lethal trucks include:
Construction truck accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs sat down to address questions for those who have been involved in a crash involving big rig trucks or other large commercial vehicles. Join us in this radio episode of "Ask The Hammer," the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. Play the episode directly below.
Construction trucks are harder to maneuver and have poor visibility. If the person operating a construction truck is not properly trained, an accident could result in serious injury or death to construction site workers and occupants of other vehicles on or around the construction truck.
Lack of training isn't the only thing that could cause an accident. Construction dump trucks have been known to crash into other vehicles because of a mechanical failure such as malfunctioning brakes. These trucks, along with semi-tractor trailers are the leaders in causing backover accidents due to poor visibility and lack of or malfunctioning safety alarms.
Other trucks like cherry pickers and forklifts have a huge potential to cause injury and death if they are not maintained up to safety standards and operated by well trained, alert drivers. Federal Highway Administration statistics on fatal accidents involving road construction trucks show that for 80 percent of these fatalities, the driver of the other, smaller vehicle is killed. Many of these horrific accidents could be prevented if operators were properly trained and the trucks and work zones kept up to federal safety standards.
If you or somebody you love was seriously injured or killed in an accident involving a construction truck, you will need help from an attorney with experience in such incidents to determine if the driver or owner of the truck was negligent. In some cases, several parties could be held liable. Our truck accident lawyers are familiar with the federal safety requirements for trucks and work zones, and we have decades of experience investigating construction accident scenes.
We will help you to recover the money you need to heal and go forward with your life. Call us today at 800-800-888, or fill out our online form to talk to an experienced construction truck accident lawyer now.

Motto: A strong, healthy relationship can be one of the best supports in your life.
My host values:
1. Cleanliness
Cleanliness of the apartment is the first and the most important value for me. This value is my highest principle of all. It is based on my own requirements I would have, if I traveled somewhere myself. To find a hair on the floor as well as a dirty towel or a sheet would be so disappointing for me that not even a five-star hotel with all its pomposity would redeem my disappointment. That is why I do my best in order not to degrade this value even if between the departure of previous guests and new guests arrival there is only a minimum of time. When I host you, it is only in a perfectly clean and tidy space with freshly washed bed linen and towels. I can guarantee that you always come into a clean and fragrant space that will increase your positive impressions of the stay in Bratislava.
2. Protection of Your Health and the Environment
While taking care of household surfaces as well as of bed linen and towels, the easiest way is to use common detergents and household cleaners. Yet few people question impacts of these agents on our health and to what extent these are environmentally friendly. The guest apartment is cleaned incomparably more times than a normal household. There are times when the guests take turns day by day, and in this case all surfaces has to be cleaned daily and linen has to be washed after being used just once. Residues of conventional cleaning and washing preparations would certainly not contribute to your overall well-being while staying in my apartment. Therefore, in September 2015, I took the decision that I would use the washing agents exclusively:
-purely environmentally friendly
-biologically degradable
-without phosphates and chlorine
-dermatologically tested.
It was not easy to find the solution but I managed! For maintenance of my apartment I use brand-name detergents and household cleaners with highly active supplements such as coconut, citrus and minerals. All these cleaning agents have been certified by organizations The International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products, AISE) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which acquired the status of Design for the Environment (DfE). Once I have decided to pursue the activities of the host and to be responsible to guests I can not be reckless and irresponsible towards the environment and your health.
3. Readiness and responsiveness
Although each of us perfectly plans our actions, it often happens we are not 100% ready for every situation. This is the reason why I am available on-line for my guests not only while booking but also during the entire stay until its successful completion. Each of my guests knows that in most cases they receive an instant response or solution for every question, request or wish. Sometimes a small detail, or discomfort can spoil the overall impression of the stay in Bratislava and that is the last thing I would have liked.
4. Respect
Just like each apartment is different, each host is different, too. The differences are mainly in personal values, in the nature, communication style, experiences and overall approach. I tried to prepare my appartment for the guests to offer them content and comfort even if they travel with minimum luggage for a long period of time. The world consists of details, and therefore I believe that no detail contributing to your comfort during your stay escaped my attention. I try to be at the guests´disposal only as much as they expect from me. I do not belong to the hosts who spend hours explaining and chatting but I am always ready to answer any question and fulfill any request. From my point of view guests arriving in Bratislava want to enjoy themselves and each other and also have contact with the city. Therefore, my role during the stay is only conductive and intermediate. On the other hand, even my character would not allow me to carry out a role of an all-day animator.
5. Good Impression
I am aware of the fact that only few guests manage to return to Bratislava again. Therefore, my only intention and effort is to do everything I can to make every minute of your stay in Bratislava as pleasant as possible so that you leave the apartment and the city with a lot of positive experiences and impressions. If you want to know the city, I can offer you a tip for a free tour of the centre. If you want to enjoy lunch or dinner, I can mark down restaurants, where I like going myself and where I haven´t been disappointed. There are not too many. My criteria as for location, space, menu and staff are very strict. I do not belong to those who can afford lunch or dinner in luxury restaurants and I am convinced that even in an affordable place managed by a passionate owner, your impression will be bettert than in a posh restaurant.

Sliding door problems
A home owner from Sandy, UT says:
July 15, 2015
I couldn't find the manufacture name anywhere on the door. It was sticking pretty bad. When we removed the door, it's very bent. We were wondering if replacing the rollers was a good fix since we don't have the money for a new door. What rollers do I need to use? Thanks.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
July 17, 2015
The roller itself closely resembles our 81-169, though you will need to carefully compare our dimensions to your own measurements to confirm that they're the same. I can't say if your bent frame is affecting anything but it is possible. If a new roller does not fix the issue then you may want to have a handy person help you out. They may have another suggestion.

Quality Assurance
What is quality assurance and why is it important to the UA? Quality Assurance involves a range of review procedures that safeguards that academic standards and student services and facilities meet acceptable quality levels. There are internal and external quality assurance procedures. The external review procedure involves a site visit and review by an external agency which leads to accreditation. The internal review procedures involve assessment, evaluation, planning improvement actions, implementing, and repeating this cycle with assessment again.[1] At the University of Aruba, basic quality levels as published by the Dutch NVAO Accreditation Agency serve as important guard rails for assessing, evaluating, and improving its educational programs.
The programs that have received a positive judgment on the quality of education are shown below.
[1] Beleidsnota Kwaliteitszorg Universiteit van Aruba, November 2006
Planning at an institution of higher education involves the design of a multi-year strategic plan strategic. This plan is then translated into a yearly plan at both the institutional level and the faculty level.
Assessment (Measurement)
|QA Data Gathering for Feedback, Analysis and Reflection, and Improvement
|Educational Program
|Organization and Infrastructure
The results of the assessment need to be evaluated against standards. Establishing standards helps design a process of quality improvement and provides a benchmark against which to monitor progress.
- academic standards, which measure the student's ability to meet a specified level of academic attainment;
- service standards, which assess service provided by the institution; and
- quality standards, which describe the norms or expectations expressed in formal statements about the desired practice, eg., those described by the NVAO criteria.
Quality improvement usually refers to a cyclical process of agreement on a set of standards and/or goals, gathering relevant information, evaluating feedback and ensuring the implementation of change. The PDCA cycle is a simple process that stands for plan (assess and evaluate the present and then set goals with action plans), do (implement the plan), check (verify the effectiveness of the implementation based on data gathered), and act (take appropriate actions based on conclusions drawn and implement on a wider scale). At this point, the cycle starts again.

Market Street Trailer (2005)
01 January 2005 5 mins
All images were filmed on Market Street, one of the main streets in San Francisco. The visual was carefully composed frame by frame, while shooting on the street.

The House with Laughing Windows Trailer (1976)
16 August 1976 Horror, Thriller, Mystery 110 mins
Stefano, a young restorer is commissioned to save a fresco representing the suffering of St. Sebastiano. The fresco painter was Legnani, and the fresco is his last work. Legnani apparently was mentally disturbed. He was used to paint people close to die or in agony. These facts together with the strange atmosphere that surround this village near Ferrara, in the north of Italy, contribute to put Stefano in a nightmare reality. Soon reality will change into horror.

Forget the functionality of a kitchen faucet or even the fact that your kitchen will never be whole without a faucet and sink. If we just look at a faucet from the aesthetics point of view, it holds lot of worth. Usually, the kitchen sink, unlike a bathroom sink, remains hidden by the countertop and plays a minor role in accentuating the looks of the kitchen. However, it is the faucet that sticks out like a sore thumb and can make or break your overall kitchen appearance.
Matching the right style of kitchen faucet with your existing kitchen is therefore a major factor in deciding a faucet. Functionality, durability, brand name, all of that comes later. If your faucet doesn't blend well with the kitchen none of the above features really matter. So, here is a simple guide to get you started.
Sigma Six Style Sheet
Personally I believe that there are only six types of kitchen faucet styling. You will probably find different brands classify them under different headings or even group a few of these together but to me these six styles make a lot of sense. Hopefully, this simple style guide will help you choose a faucet based on its looks and complete your kitchen.
The first thing to understand is that no kitchen faucet can be perfectly divided into any of the following categories. Today majority of faucets actually borrow design and styling elements from each other and hence are more of a blend between the following categories. Instead, we can find out what style elements a faucet possesses and hence match it accordingly with our kitchen. I call this the Sigma Six Style Sheet.
Industrial Style
True industrial style kitchen faucets are usually conical or cylindrical in shape. They use strict shapes of a geometric nature and are best used with kitchens that have plenty of acute angles. Industrial look isn't for everyone and many actually think such faucets to be low quality simply because they look too simple.
Nature Inspired Style
Everything in nature is continuous and has a purpose. No blunt edges, all curved and smooth sides, plenty of natural accents are what describe such faucets. They also tend to possess natural metallic colors. If any faucet reminds you of a flower, plant or animal, it is definitely a nature inspired design.
Fusion Style
Fusion style is basically a proper half n half mixture of industrial and natural styling. Expect to see abrupt edges, conical structures intermixed with smoothened and textured or natural lines. Easy to spot, these are actually the most prevalent of designs in the market.
Neo-Classical Style
Taking a leaf out of a history book, faucet designers today are once again revisiting styles of the past. These faucets use a combination of colors, materials and designing to give a retro or neo-classical look. One glimpse at a retro faucet and you will realize that it does not belong to the 21st century. Such faucets go best with antique or retro styled kitchens.
Modernist Style
Modernist style incorporates bold ideas, odd angles, out-of-the-blue creativity to bring life into already existing faucets. Usually, modernist kitchen faucets incorporate an older design and take it to new heights.
Designer Style
Just as there are designer brands in fashion, so are there designer faucets for your kitchen. They are called designer because you won't find another piece or style similar to it. Usually overtly expensive and available as part of a limited edition, these faucets are revolutionary in introducing new styling elements.

Entrypoint, a New York based virtual reality company, provides a solution to the distribution bottleneck facing virtual reality videos. Currently, there are only two ways to distribute VR videos, apps or passive web players. Apps are expensive to produce, cumbersome to download and use, and only work on specific hardware. Current web players, meanwhile, do not allow for the interactivity which is part of what makes VR such an exciting new medium.
Entrypoint's platform allows creative agencies, publishers, and brands to add interactive elements to their 360 videos, animations, and live-streams and then publish them via a URL, accessible on all hardware, from the iPhone to the HTC Vive. We then provide detailed analytics to help the creators asses the efficacy of their content and iterate on their work. W-series spoke to Carissa Flocken, the Founder and CEO.
1) How did you develop the idea for Entrypoint?
At first I wanted to make VR films. I was really excited by the interactive, immersive potential of the medium. We put together an interactive video, but then when it came time to put it out the only option was through an app, which we would have had to pay an outrageous price to make. This didn't make any sense to me or my co-founder, Ben Doyle. There had to be a way to distribute this content over the web, but it turned out there wasn't. So we decided to solve that problem. We envisioned a future where people interacted with videos and this needed to be cracked.
2) How did you make the decision to take the plunge and start your own company?
Honestly, I didn't have much of a choice. I had recently left my job at Bridgewater Associates when I started playing with VR. I was really captured by the creative possibilities and I figured there was going to be some pretty incredible changes to the VR/AR industry and I wanted to be a part of it. So I floated a vague idea to Ben about getting involved in the industry. I had known Ben from Bridgewater and knew we worked together well. A few days later, he told me had quit his job! The die was cast. We headed out to California without much of a plan. In retrospect it seems mildly insane, but honestly I wasn't that worried at the time. We had confidence in each other, passion for the medium, and not much to lose. What was the worst that could happen?
3) Of your prior work experience, what was most helpful to you as a founder?
My time at Bridgewater was really formative, especially my boss, Karen Karniol-Tambour, (who was the first investor in Entrypoint!). She gave me space to work independently and own projects and encouraged me to be assertive and confident in what can be a challenging industry for women.
Bridgewater itself was also helpful. They have a culture of honest, sometimes harsh feedback that can be tough to handle, but has prepared me well for running my own company. It teaches you to be honest with yourself, acknowledge your flaws and failings, and work around them, critical skills for an entrepreneur. The meetings I've had since then have been a comparative breeze.
4) How did you fund the business? What do you spend most of your funds on? Knowing what you know now about how to raise and spend funds, what would you have done differently?
We started by funding it with our own savings. We were both frugal Midwesterners so we had some saved up. Since then we've been securing investments with angels and VC's. Look out for more information on that soon. Most of our costs right now have been on new hires. They're going to be with you for the long haul, so it is important to make smart investments. As for what I would have done differently, I probably would have been a bit more selective with the meetings I took when raising money. There is always a tension between raising and doing the actual work of the business and there are always more people you can meet. At a certain point you need to pause for a while, focus on developing the relationships you already have, and make the product as great as possible.
5) What has been your greatest WFIO (we're f*****, it's over) moment so far?
Honestly, we've been very lucky so far. I know that they are coming, but we've yet to encounter a doomsday scenario. That said, it has been frustratingly difficult to get traction in certain communities, I think especially because I'm a woman. Early on, I was told by a consultant that I "wouldn't make it in Silicon Valley" and that maybe he "could help [me], but [I'd] have a long way to go," because I was coming from the East Coast and was a first time entrepreneur. It really shook me up. But then I realized he made money consulting for first time entrepreneurs — his goal is to break you down and then make you pay him for salvation. It's much easier to say than do, but you can't let other people's doubts cloud your thinking.
6) What has been the most exciting moment so far?
I've found the connections Entrypoint has allowed me to make incredibly exciting. I've had meetings with executives and C-suite members of massive advertising agencies, media corporations, and sports leagues. I've been able to ask questions of and be heard by people with deep experience in their fields; it's a powerful learning opportunity. If someone is facing a problem and you have a credible solution, they're surprisingly generous with their time.
7) What resources have been most helpful to you in starting up?
By far the most important thing has been the mentorship we've had access to. Starting with Karen, we've had the opportunity to learn from incredible businesspeople, investors, and inventors. They've been much more helpful than any book or website I've looked at. They get invested in the team and our vision and we are so thankful for their support.
8) Tell us about some of the unique opportunities and challenges in VR?
Virtual reality is an incredibly powerful medium with a lot of nascent potential for creatives, ad agencies, publishers, everyone. It puts you inside of the narrative in a totally unique way, so the experience is much more immersive and emotion driven. If you haven't already, I'd really encourage you to try a VR experience. Google Cardboard cost around $15 and the New York Times has done some great work.Beyond the distribution problem we're addressing, there are other things that need to be worked out. Maybe the biggest space for growth is the creative knowledge. People are still figuring out how best to harness the unique potential of VR. How do you tell a story in VR differently than you would in a normal video? How do you harness the interactivity? I think that the live theater community is going to be especially important in this, as they have a lot of experience with the idea of responding to the audience and subtly directing attention. That's part of the reason we came to New York. We feel the artistic community and potential client base of publishers and advertisers are well suited to pioneering new ideas and applications in VR.
9) Tell us about how you've learned about your customer base?
We're focusing right now on creative agencies, publishers, and brands. I've been surprised by how creative they are in thinking about the medium. They don't want to just create ads, they want to create branded universes. They see potential applications way beyond their normal expertise, in finance and healthcare and design, and they want to be a part of it. These massive, sometimes cumbersome, organizations are very excited and want to help shape this future.
10) If you could give an aspiring entrepreneur one piece of advice, what would it be?
I would keep in mind the importance of diversity. Having diverse perspectives has been very helpful to us and it's something I've focused as I have built out the team. If you don't make it a priority, it is very easy to wake up one day with a company of overwhelmingly straight, white men. And while they may all be fantastic, the team as a whole is weaker without the variety of viewpoints and life perspectives that come with a more diverse workforce. It is important to cultivate, especially in VR, where there are so many potential applications. You don't want to miss a massive opportunity because none of your engineers thought people might like to be able to try on clothes or walk through interior decorating layouts in VR.

Best care for everyone
The National Inpatient Survey is designed to assess the experience of adults who are admitted to an NHS hospital for care and treatment.
Evidence from academic research suggests that when people are involved in their own care, decisions are made more effectively and health outcomes improve. Surveys such as those included in the National Patient Survey Programme are an important way to assess this.
The Patient Experience Team Co-ordinate the distribution of these surveys within the Trust.
Each year the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will then use the results from the National Inpatient survey in the regulation, monitoring and inspection of the NHS acute trusts in England.
You can find more information on the CQC and The National Inpatient Survey here http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/surveys

Hat Creek Campground
No matter what your idea of "roughing it" is, spending time in nature is time for rejuvenation. You might not love the idea of living without toilets and running water, and that's fine - you're not alone. You can still get away from computers and telephones and see wildlife somewhere other than the zoo. You can go to sleep on a regular bed and still wake up to the sound of birdsong. Yes, you can have it both ways.
However long you want to stay at Hat Creek Campground, whether it's just a couple of days or a week or more, don't forget to check on area attractions just in case you get bored after a day or two in a hammock. Also, it's important be aware of the fire danger level where you are, for safety reasons.
Don't wait too long to book your spot at Hat Creek Campground in California - the best cabins and campgrounds sell out early, so check availability and book your trip right away.

The new computer system was originally ordered in 1998 by Lord Irvine, the former lord chancellor, and Sir Hayden Phillips, the former permanent secretary at the department, and should have been fully operational years ago.
It will provide a national database of defendants, enabling easy enforcement in cases ranging from people who dodge parking fines to those guilty of more serious offences. It will also be linked to the police, TV licence and and driver and vehicle licensing computers.
Alex Allan, permanent secretary at the DCA, told Edward Leigh, chairman of the public accounts committee, that the department will not have figures to trace who is avoiding fines until December 2007. All it knows at the moment is that £416m was owed in financial penalties last April, including £55m in new fines imposed during that year. The reason is that the antiquated recording system used by the courts prevents details of one offender from being transferred to another court area.
A new computer system - known as the Libra project - was meant to solve these problems at an original cost of £156m in 1998, but now, eight years later, it has just reached its pilot stage. Three years ago the National Audit Office was told the cost had risen to £390m; last month, MPs were told that the costs were due to rise again by nearly £100m by 2008, and then the system would have to be incorporated into a new computer system for the department.
Mr Allan admitted the additional costs after being questioned by Richard Bacon, MP for Norfolk South and a member of the public accounts committee. He disclosed that so far the new system was operational in only place in England, Kingston upon Thames. Mr Bacon said: "The Libra project was the worst PFI [public finance initiative] computer project we have examined. The National Audit Office reported to us in January 2003 that costs had more than tripled for a system that just didn't work properly.
"More than three years later it still doesn't work. In fact it is still at a pilot stage after 10 years, and now we discover the Department for Constitutional Affairs is throwing nearly £100m extra at this disaster despite being aware they will soon replace the system."

Great for the Purse

Great product.
Great Product - Easy to Carrry
Posted by SW on Apr 30th 2017
This is one of the best sun protectors out on the market. Great on the water or in the garden.
Great product if you have sensitive skin too!
Posted by Lizzie T on Apr 10th 2017
I got this as part of the 2 All Good Sun Care unscented kits that I bought before a 10 day Caribbean cruise. I had used the sunscreen stick in the past and liked it, but knew I was going to need more that close to the Equator and wanted to try their other products too. This was the shining star of the kit in and out of the water. I'm very pale and burn easily. This helped tremendously and I will be buying it in a stick once that's available. The small packages went a long way in conjunction with their regular sunstick. Thank you All Good!

I got this and thought it was so small but a little goes a long way. Super light and effective...love
The only sunscreen for my face!
Posted by Cotton Candy on Feb 26th 2017
I recently had a laser treatment and my facial skin is extremely sensitive. This is the only sunscreen that I can use. Since the texture of this sunscreen butter is quite thick, I use makeup sponge to apply it before applying foundation. Love it. Thank you so much!
Works well
Posted by Jen M on Dec 5th 2016
Just bought this, I used this the day at the beach, sunny and windy. No burn and I burn easily. It goes on clean and felt like I didn't have sunscreen on. I tend to breakout badly after using any sunscreen, but no reactions after using this one. Been using All Good products for awhile now, will be adding this one now. Keep up the good work! -JM
Best face sunblock
Posted by Unknown on Nov 15th 2016
Excellent for water sports. I can spend two hours surfing and the protection is still there. All natural few ingredients. A little goes a long way.
Great for Surfing!
Posted by Unknown on Oct 11th 2016
I use it for surfing. I do like 4 hr sessions and It will stay for a very long time no burns whatsoever.
Great stuff!
Posted by Jen on Sep 6th 2016
It's light and fluffy (unless you're in cold temps) and so easy to apply! I love the size of the little pan and the fact that the lid twists off. Great protection from a great product!
GOOD for YOU
Posted by Nina on Aug 20th 2016
This sunscreen is so natural, and so user-friendly, and zinc, besides being an excellent sunscreen, is really good for your skin and body and also helps heal breakouts. Kudos to all you hardworking folks at GOOD!

George Michael, who died on Christmas Day, is to be honoured by his ex partner Kenny Goss.
Radar Online has reported that the mega-star's family want Goss to play a major role in the funeral – despite the couple splitting in 2009 after 13 years – as a public acknowledgement of the singer's sexuality.
This has fuelled rumours that the Panayiotou [George's real surname] family do not want George's most recent partner, Fadi Fawaz, involved any further.
Fawaz has been criticised for the speed with which he gave details regarding George's death to tabloid newspapers, and suggesting that the star wanted to die.
The police have been in contact with Fawaz, who may have been one of the last people to see George alive, but the death is not being treated as suspicious.
In a short statement, Goss said: "The beautiful memories and music he brought to the world will always be an important part of my life and those who also loved and admired him."
The funeral is being delayed, contrary to Greek Orthodox rules on burial within a week, as the post-mortem was inconclusive. It is believed the service will be shown on Greek television, a wonderful post-script considering George's particular early struggles with how to square his sexuality with his culture's animosity towards homosexuality.
George Michael is an indelible part of gay history, and his impact changed LGBT+ lives for the better. Beginning tomorrow, Attitude will be serialising his iconic, life-affirming and most intimate interview ever. In five parts, we will rediscover the essence of George through his 2004 interview with the magazine.
Check out this run-down of 20 of George's greatest hits:

I had a nice room on the 3rd floor on the back side of the hotel. A very quiet place. Room size is OK for one guest. A little small for two guests I guess. It has no drawers and the wardrobe is small.
Perfectly clean room and bathroom. Essential amenities. Ithas a coffeemaker and refrigerator. Union St R train station is one block away.
But R is not the best of MTA lines. Great Location for visiting BROOKLYN. Mid Town MANHATTAN is a 40 minutes train ride . BEST: Cleanliness and Quietness. LEAST: TV and PC.

Taylor Swift Gives Emotional 2014 Grammy Awards Performance of 'All Too Well'
Taylor Swift performed 'All Too Well' at the 2014 Grammy Awards Sunday night (Jan. 26), and it was as emotional and heart-wrenching as one might expect.
Taylor Swift performed 'All Too Well' at the 2014 Grammy Awards Sunday night (Jan. 26), and it was as emotional and heart-wrenching as one might expect.
It's been five years since rapper Kanye West did his thing and interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs, but he's still not done talking about it. Now, he reveals how he coped with all the negativity after his infamous stage rush.
Taylor Swift is one of the most anticipated performers at the 2014 Grammys, so naturally she's already hard at work, rehearsing for music's biggest night.
Taylor Swift's illustrious career has brought her from a small-town teenager to 24-year-old superstar, and it has evolved quite a bit in the process. But one thing she wants to stay constant is her ability to make good career decisions -- even if it means saying she's had enough.
It wasn't that long ago that Taylor Swift was standing on the stage at the MTV VMA Awards, accepting Best Female Video for her catchy hit 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' Just last week, Swift received special package, and in it was her very own Moon Man, courtesy of the VMAs.
Taylor Swift has been the butt of several jokes over the last few years, with many highlighting her dating life. The 2013 Golden Globes were no exception. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made Swift the center of a few jabs -- a theme which continued at the 2014 awards show.
Taylor Swift is always one to watch on the red carpet, and the 2014 Golden Globes were no exception.
The 2014 Grammy Awards will see a lot of Taylor Swift -- and we're not just talking about her infamous dance moves that the camera loves to follow. Not only is the superstar nominated for several of the prestigious trophies, but she's also slated to perform!
Taylor Swift's Red Tour was one of the best-selling global tours of 2013, landing at No. 8 on a year-end tally. However, in North America alone, the trek was the most successful tour of the year, hands down.
Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes are only 24 and 22, respectively, but they're taking on the music world in a major way. Those efforts landed them on this year's Forbes' 30 Under 30 List.
Fans who were holding their breath for another Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran duet can let out a sigh of ... disappointment. Sadly, it won't be happening -- at least not on the English singer-songwriter's new album.
Fans cast over 700 million votes for the 2014 People's Choice Awards Wednesday night (Jan. 8), and they showed a lot of love to Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw, who were big country winners.

In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend, Robby, have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things.
This is the truth. This is history. It's the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it. You know what I mean.
Funny, intense, complex, and brave, Grasshopper Jungle brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America in this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner.
©2014 Andrew Smith (P)2014 Penguin Audio
"What just happened?"
Be prepared for a horny teenage boy in this apocalyptic-coming-of-age story where our protagonist, Austin, is a history obsessed boy who is in love with his girlfriend and his best friend. Read the book description, it will tell you better. What I will tell you is this: 1) Read this book. Don't think about it, just do it. Cursing give you the willies? Get over it and read this book. 2) Be prepared for repetition - these are teenagers and they hear things in their heads over and over... and we're just along for the ride. 3) Laugh. Gasp. Think. and 4) Read everything else by Andrew Smith, just so you will know he's a fabulous author, but this book is so far above everything else - it's almost a little daunting.
My only drawback is listening to it - Philip Church has a pleasant voice, almost news-broadcaster-esque. It almost doesn't fit for this story, but at the end, I think I see why they chose him.
"Couldn't get past the horrible narrator"
A different narrator
He sounded like my old Kindle Keyboard text-to-speech...monotone droning. I know everyone has their own style, and typically within 15-30 minutes I can get in the groove, but his performance kept getting worse and worse. His voices were like someone reading to a child...trying to elicit a giggle. He made the dad sound stupid (darp). I can't even explain how bad his voices were. Everyone in the book sounded like they were retarded. I tried, but I couldn't get past how bad his narration was.
I adore Andrew Smith. However, I couldn't force myself to finish this audiobook. I will get the Kindle version, and just read it.
"Read by a Robot"
The writing was smart and funny. Really great story.
Main character.
Maybe if it was a reading of the phone book. Or a dictionary.
Read another book.
"it was funny until it was not"
I wanted to like this book. I thought it was funny and unique spin on the teen apocalyptic genre--teens being teens while the world ended. Once I figured out what the unstoppable soldier was a metaphor for, the story dragged and wasn't funny anymore. It seemed mean. Also, there were so many jokes and talk about testicles that I thought I was stuck back in middle school. Ugh.
"Better Suited for a Movie"
Complex character relationships andcompelling themes make for a satisfying story but it's all overshadowed by a tedious writing style, which, while comically dry and suitable, given the context, is too often repetitive and rambling. Edgar Wright's film adaptation will undoubtedly be better.
"In your face"
This book is an in-your-face anti Christian/Lutheran propaganda piece to expose teens to gay semi-erotic "literature" disguised as science fiction.

The study more or less says, therefore, that the Great Barrier Reef can not be brought back to its state prior to the 2016 bleaching event.
Coral bleaching has been one of the prime causes for the vanishing barrier reefs of Australia; and not just in Australia but also parts of the world where such ecosystems are found.
"We didn't expect to see this level of destruction to the Great Barrier Reef for another 30 years", Terry Hughes, lead author of the paper on the reef (that is the cover article of the new journal "Nature") told the New York Times. "This is the first time the Great Barrier Reef has not had a few years between bleaching events to recover", Dr. Cantin said.
Thus, differences in the severity of bleaching during the three events can be explained by differences in magnitude and spatial distribution of sea surface temperature anomalies. While the faster-growing coral can usually recover in between bleaching events, that's not an option for others. Coral bleaching occurs as a result of abnormal sea conditions, such as warmer or colder temperatures.
Scientists revealed today that Australia's Great Barrier Reef is doing worse than we previously thought.
Upon such progress do coral reefs depend, Hughes says.
A panoramic image of coral bleaching at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef, captured by the XL Catlin Seaview Survey in March 2016. Importantly, though, it does contribute to the recovery of coral reefs after major bleaching.
Now, as the reef faces yet another bleaching event in 2017, a new report has found only one way to save the natural wonder: Fight climate change. If water temperatures stay high and corals stay bleached, they will eventually starve to death. A new bleaching event is under way now. "The bleaching in 2016 strongly reinforces the urgent need to limit climate change as agreed by world leaders in the Paris Agreement, and fully implement the Reef 2050 Plan to boost the Reef's resilience", said co-author Dr. David Wachenfeld from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
Unfortunately for the Great Barrier Reef, many sectors seem to be well into the starving stage. In the absence of such measures, the possibility of the great barrier reef getting its former glory back, or at least a part of it is nearly impossible.
"Immediate global action to curb future warming is essential to secure a future for coral reefs". It is worth worrying about, though, because of the fact that coral bleaching has happened in that same area two years in a row.
Australia's Great Barrier Reef is under serious threat of disappearing entirely and stopping global warming is the only way to save it, scientists have warned. The study claims water quality and fishing pressure "had minimal effect" on the bleaching, with local efforts affording "little or no resistance to extreme heat". The first time I saw corals in late 2014, I could only be forced away from the magnificent underwater world because my oxygen tank was running low.

Patty's Day quandary: corned beef vs. Lenten Friday

Yesterday, Summit Entertainment released the final one-sheet for "Ender's Game," and today they have given us the final trailer as well (you can watch it above). The movie, directed by Gavin Hood, is based on Orson Scott Card's novel and stars Asa Butterfield in the title role as well as Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, and Hailee Steinfeld.
The movie has been surrounded by controversy due to Card's stance on gay rights. Not surprisingly, members of the Comic-Con panel answered questions on that subject last month at the event in San Diego.
As you can see, this new trailer for "Ender's Game" offers us a whole lot of scenes of destruction. As with the previous trailer, it features voiceover by Harrison Ford's Colonel Hyrum Graff. Graff situates us in a world where an evil alien presence has nearly wiped out mankind and where children are seen as our only hope in the war that is to come against the aliens.
The trailer is special effects-laden and gives us images of not just the Earth being attacked, but also massive alien ships as well as looks at the International Fleet. Plus, it gives us some glimpses into just what Ender is forced to undergo to help save humanity.
What do you think? Are you excited to see the movie or has the whole controversy put you off the sci-fi epic?
"Ender's Game" will launch on November 1, 2013.

President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday, December 29 cut sod for the construction of the University of Environment and Sustainable Development at Somanya in the Eastern Region.
This comes in the wake of the approval by Parliament of a £45-million commercial agreement between the government of Ghana and Contractor Costruzioni of Italy.
Parliament had passed a law in October last year for the only university in the Region to be established.
It is one of the key manifesto promises of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, President Mahama showered praise on "all those whose efforts and dedication has seen this project from the phase of conception to the present phase of construction".
According to him, the conception was put into action way back in April 2013 when the National Task Force was inaugurated.
"The duty of the Task Force among others was to develop, organize and supervise the implementation of a programme for the establishment of the university that will focus on addressing the critical environment and sustainable development challenges of our dear nation Ghana."
The Amoako-Nuamah Committee led the implementation of the report of the Benneh Committee.
