Drop that takeout menu, and walk away from the fast food. These tips will make you an ace at Monday-to-Friday dinner prep.
Set for success
Shop once, eat all week
If it's Sunday and you haven't thought ahead to what you'll have for dinner on Thursday, you're missing out on the world's simplest time-saving tool: meal planning! Write out a list of what you'll need to prep your family's meals for the entire week, and get it all in a single supermarket trip before your busy weekday cycle begins. There's no need to worry about wilted veggies when you have a Bosch refrigerator that is equipped with the special VitaFresh system. It maintains just the right level of humidity and helps keep produce fresh longer.
Call in the troops!
You don't have to handle meal prep alone: enlist your family's help. Even young kids can gather ingredients from the fridge, and Bosch's large-capacity drawers and shelves mean it's highly unlikely the broccoli will have been flattened by a jar of pickles. (Everything in its place!) Plus, the efficient LED lighting system keeps items in clear view without hogging a lot of electricity. Once your ingredients are on the counter, kids can shift to sous-chef mode. Safe tasks for little ones include tearing lettuce, crumbling cheese and whisking dressing. Older kids can peel veggies and stir sauces or brown meat on the stove.
Love your leftovers
Plan to make a double batch of your favourite casserole, soup or stew, allowing you to easily transform leftovers into lunches or use them as a base for tomorrow's dinner. Consider cooking more than one recipe at a time: Bosch stoves have five burners and three oven racks, so you'll have space for it all. Don't your weeknights feel less stressed already?
Freezer 101
Stay organized
Label and date all freezer foods so you can know at a glance what you have on hand at all times. This minimizes waste, as you're less likely to buy items you already have, and makes it easier to put dinner on the table efficiently by using up leftovers.
Safety first
Thaw frozen dishes in the fridge, as opposed to on your kitchen countertop, to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. To avoid freezer burn and keep food at its best, use airtight storage containers or large bags that are designed for the freezer.
Pack tight
To maximize storage space in your freezer, package items like soups and sauces in resealable freezer bags so you can flatten and stack them on top of one another.
Stock up
Freezer staples—like peas, edamame, corn, bread, ravioli and puff pastry—make weeknight cooking easier. Have these on hand at all times and make a note when one of those items is running low so you never run out.

With winter's worst (hopefully) behind us, tax season is here, and there are many changes that families will want to be aware of.
Tax time is never fun, but it's even worse when you miss out on credits or deductions you may have qualified for. Complicating matters this year are several taxation changes due to a Liberal overhaul of several Harper-era measures.
"I've seen more changes this year than in the past three years," says Lisa Gittens, a tax expert at H&R Block.
Here are eight things families will want to be aware of when filling out their 2016 return.
1. Last chance on certain tax credits
The government is phasing out a handful of tax credits and focusing on larger benefits. The children's arts and fitness tax credits will be halved for the 2016 tax year, and cut completely next year, meaning families will no longer be able to defray costs for things like swimming lessons, ballet and tutoring. For post-secondary students, the education and textbook credits are being eliminated in 2017, although education amounts carried forward from previous years will still be claimable.
2. No more income splitting
Also gone is the Family Tax Cut, which lets the higher-earning spouse transfer up to $50,000 of income to the lower-earner. During the 2015 election, the Liberals promised to cut it, calling it a "tax break for the wealthy."
With the benefit gone, Gittens recommends a spousal RRSP, which allows the higher-earner to contribute to the lower-earning spouse's RRSP and claim the tax benefit. "You may have an RRSP set up, but you haven't thought about setting it up for your spouse. This is an ideal time to use that strategy," she says.
3. Changes to child benefits
The Canada Child Benefit was a signature feature of the 2016 budget, replacing the old Universal Child Care Benefit and the Canada Child Tax Benefit. It's non-taxable, so you don't have to claim it. However, in order to continue to receive the benefit, both parents must file a return, even if one doesn't generate any income, says Gittens.
Also keep in mind that the benefit started in July, so you still have to claim the taxable UCC for the first six months of the year.
4. New tax rates
New tax rates mean you may or may not be pleasantly surprised by the size of your tax bill this year. If you're in the meaty middle that earns between $45,000 and $90,000, your rate will come down to 20.5 percent from 22 percent.
"Most Canadians will be receiving more money at the end of the day than they were under the old system," says Jamie Golombek, managing director of tax and estate planning at CIBC Wealth Strategies Group.
However, high-income earners will be paying more due to a new 33 percent bracket for people earnings more than $200,000.
5. Child care expenses
Childcare costs are usually the biggest deduction available for families, says Golombek. But what many people don't realize is that it goes beyond simply daycare. If you have a nanny, you can claim that expense, but also babysitting, if it's during the day, and summer or day camp.
6. Disability tax credit and family caregiver amount
If you have family members with a disability there are certain credits that may be available to you. The Disability Tax Credit is available to people with disabilities to reduce their taxes. For children under age 18, a parent or caregiver may be able to claim the unused amount.
If you're a caregiver to a family member with physical or mental impairments, you may also be able to claim an additional $2,121, according to the Canada Revenue Agency.
7. Selling your principal residence
Selling your home has typically not been something you've had to report on your taxes, because usually Canadians don't get taxed for capital gains on their principle residence. But starting with the 2016 tax year, individuals who sold their principal residence during the year must report the sale. The government is ostensibly doing this to crack down on people who try to pass off income-generating homes as their principal residence.
8. eFile early, get your refund early
Tax deadline is April 30, but if you want to get ahead of the game, file early, before the government is inundated with last-minute returns. You can still file the old paper return, but Gittens says you'll be looking at a turnaround time of anywhere up to eight weeks, versus 10-14 days for a return filed early and electronically.

Your 3D shots will be saved as .mpo files. The easiest way to view them is connecting the camera to a Panasonic 3D-capable television.
You can also convert them to other 3D formats, such as anaglyph [which requires the old-style red/blue 3D glasses], side-by-side [which requires the old stero glasses or - if you limit their size - you can view them cross-eyed], etc. Download StereoPhoto Maker if you want to play with these other formats.

January 6, 2017 - NSBA encourages members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to engage in a meaningful and deliberative manner as the Committee considers the nomination of Betsy DeVos for the position of Secretary of Education. NSBA urges congressional leaders to focus on specific issues throughout the confirmaton process, including ESSA implementation, and other education priorites as identified in NSBA's letter.
One Unified Voice Before Congress
Our advocacy efforts spring from the conviction that education of our public school children must be the nation's top priority. We are committed to ensuring that the local school board voice is heard in every public policy forum in which education decisions are made or influenced.
Legislative Priorities for the 114th Congress (Second Session)
NSBA believes change is here for K-12 education that will encourage and support local innovation and reform for greater student achievement in our public school districts. NSBA looks forward to partnering with the 114th Congress to accomplish these priorities that are essential to the success of our students and schools. Read more

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
NSBA applauds the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).Read More
Federal Funding
Our advocacy efforts in championing key programs such as Title I and IDEA grants are critical to maximizing federal investments in education.Read More
Child Nutrition
Support new legislation, HR 3663 (The Reducing Federal Mandates on School Lunch Act), which would restore local flexibility and authority to school districts struggling to comply with some provisions of HHFKA.Read More
Local School Board Governance and Flexibility
It is crucial for local school boards to maintain decision-making authority at the local level as well as accountability for high quality educational services.Read More
Early Childhood Education
We support Head Start and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten education programs as a foundation for achievement.Read More
Special Education and IDEA
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), originally enacted in 1975, requires that every student with a disability has access to a free, appropriate public education.Read More
Education Technology and E-Rate
Current funding meets only half the need, and NSBA supports E-Rate 2.0 and ConnectED to increase the funding and modernize the program.Read More
Charter Schools
We support charter schools that are authorized by local school boards.Read More
Private School Vouchers
We urge Congress to work with NSBA to improve, not weaken, the nation's public schools. Vouchers and tuition tax credits siphon scarce resources, time, and attention from our nation's public schools, which educate 50 million students.Read More
Academic Standards
We support state-led efforts to develop and voluntarily adopt rigorous common standards with flexibility for local communities.Read More

Uniform Financial Reporting Standards: Reconsidering the Top-Down Push
Shyam Sunder
Yale University - School of Management; Yale University - Cowles Foundation
March 2007
Yale ICF Working Paper No. 07-11
Financial reporting environment of the world is dominated today by a top down push for uniform financial reporting standards. The advantages of uniformity and monopoly standards have been well-publicized compared to their disadvantages. No language, accounting included, can flourish under the protective umbrella of punitive authority of state. Like languages and dictionaries, accounting and other social phenomena develop best through bottom up processes. We do not have enough the design knowledge to set standards whose consequences cannot be undone by adjusting transactions. Elimination of alternative accounting treatments prevents credible revelation of information through financial statements. Codification of accounting diminishes the judgment-honing function of class room discourse to promote rote memorization that drives away talent from the profession. Introduction of regulatory competition among alternative sets of financial standards may help improve accounting practice.

NEW YORK -- Vancouver Whitecaps goalkeeper Brad Knighton has been named Major League Soccer's player of the week.
Knighton was stellar in goal as the Whitecaps beat Seattle 2-0 on Saturday and claimed their first win over their Cascadia rivals.
Knighton made seven saves to earn his second shutout in three matches and helped the Whitecaps increase their winning streak to five games.
Knighton received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd at BC Place in the 27th minute when he made consecutive saves to deny both Eddie Johnson and Obafemi Martins.
This is the third time in four weeks that a Whitecaps player has received the award, with strike partners Kenny Miller and Camilo also being honoured in Week 16 and 17 respectively.
Leafs Lunch is joined by TSN Leafs Reporter Mark Masters.
Luke, Jason & Kristian recap the week for Canada's MLS teams, talk New York City FC's start, plus EPL and Champions League talk as well.
Luke, Jason and KJ look ahead to the MLS season just prior to the news of a new collective bargaining agreement, plus EPL talk as well.

Fallen Ones Lyrics
Artist: Heart
Album: Jupiter's Darling
Born on the edge of a borderline
In the simmering summer of sweet blue fire
Now you walk on the cold cold wind
Nothing left of your light
The living sun just falls away leaving only day ~ day for night
Again and again the comrades fall
The tears roll down and the wounded crawl
In this heartless crazy world the wounds just burn like fire
Light a light for the fallen ones
Light a light and hold it ~ hold it high
Your burning star turned to midnight sun
I will stay alive for the fallen ones
Dancing with the smoke of your devastated flame
Dancing with the smoke dancing with the rain
So cold being here again
So I call your name ~ I call ~ I call your name

Your basket is empty.
Perfect as a Valentine`s Day gift - this beautifully hand-decorated Fair Trade trinket box is made out of papier mâché, so is lightweight and delicate.
• The cream top and base have been intricately painted with pink flowers with gold edges.
• It has a removeable lid. The inside and bottom surface have been painted black.
• Suitable for storing small precious items or rings and earrings.
• An ethical and romantic gift for a special loved one.
This heart shaped trinket box has been handmade in India.
Dimensions - width 7.5 cm x height 6 cm x depth 7.5 cm approximately.
Established in 1975 as a Fair Trade christian organisation to provide a marketing outlet to individual craftsman. In Sanskrit, Asha means "hope".
India, which is one of the largest handcraft-producing countries in the world, offers an almost unlimited range of crafts and products. However, these beautiful items can be produced in conditions of abject poverty, with craft workers in bondage to moneylenders.
Asha is based in Mumbai and gives marketing support and technical assistance to groups of small producers and craftsmen and women. By purchasing directly from the workers and giving generous advances, they increase income levels and help groups become self-sufficient.
A team of christian welfare workers are employed to help producers with business concerns and issues.
Asha welfare workers are stationed at different producer groups and co-operatives, sharing skills and extending medical help and education to the workers and their families. Technical training is also provided to increase efficiency and to encourage the growth and development of cottage industries.
Asha encourage their artisans to plant trees in place of those which are used to make their handcarved wooden products.
Asha Handicrafts are a member of The World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and produce our cute mixed wood heart-shaped trinket box. You can read more about them in our Fair Trade Producers section.

Soils under conifers around the world are notoriously acid and infertile. Blueberries sound like an excellent choice, being likely native to your region and adapted. You might seek out nitrogen-fixers and other soil builders to improve portions of the site....the challenge will be finding some that are adapted to your region. Alders? Eleagnus? Bayberry?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Kade Bell threw two of his four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to lead Jacksonville past Stetson 45-24 on Saturday.
Ryan Powers blocked a punt by Dylan Lynch before scooping up the ball and running it 28 yards to erase a seven-point deficit for Stetson (2-8, 1-6 Pioneer Football League), tying the game at 24-24 with 3:09 remaining in the third quarter.
Bell's interception just over two minutes later gave the Hatters the ball deep in their own territory. After a 15-yard run by Dre Long and a 44-yard pass from Ryan Tentler to Mike Yonker gave Stetson a first-and-10 at the Jacksonville (5-6, 4-4) 28 yard line, Tentler fumbled the ball and Charlie Jimenez returned it 60-yards for a touchdown, giving the Dolphins a 31-24 lead as the third quarter expired.
Bell finished the game with 325 yards passing and three interceptions. Jacksonville had 633 total yards.

text: Seller: haikuinspring (1,874) 99.7%, Location: Topeka, Kansas, Ships to: US & many other countries, Item: 201709655618 Welcome. This listing is for a pretty, vintage lantern -style pendant light. This ceiling light is 5 sided, with etched stars on the glass panels. The ornate, delicate metal frame is gold colored, I believe it is cast iron but I'm not certain. As noted in the condition box above, this light was in an auction lot of lighting; the ceiling medallions I've photographed, I believe go with this light but I'm not certain if they are original to this light. Also, when sitting on a table, this light is a bit atilt, due I believe to the feet not being all the exact same height. When I hold this light hanging, it hangs balanced as shown in the photos. The light is approx 14 inches tall and 9-10 inches wide at the top, at its widest point. Quick and very careful shipping. Non-smoking Thank you! I Condition: overall nice. glass is all good, no cracked panes. This lantern, when set on a table on its feet, is not level. I think it is one of the feet.. Although this does not go on a table just wanted to point it out.. This seems to be true when hanging, but the frame may be a little out of kilter. Also, i purchased this light at an auction with a box of other lights.. I had to sort out the ceiling medallions that were in the box.. The two shown are the only two that would make sense with this light., although I do not know how it would attach to the ceiling.., Color: iron and Glass, Material: gold colored iron and Glass

Gender Identity and Gender Transformation in Cross Cultural Perspectives Social construction/deconstruction of gender identities
@2008 LIHernandez2 Theory on Gender Identity Identity-Construction Theory: emphasizes the individual's personal and conscious commitment to a specific image of self
@2008 LIHernandez3 Gender-Schema Theory: merges cognitive- developmental with social-learning theory. Schemas are internal cognitive networks (shaped by socialization) that organize and guide individual perceptions; gender schemas are cognitive networks associated with concepts of masculine and feminine. Highly gender- schematic individuals tend to organize many of their thoughts, perceptions and evaluations according to gender stereotypes and symbols. Theory on Gender Identity
@2008 LIHernandez4 Socialization or Social-Learning Theory: emphasizes influence of differing "learning environments," especially of children but sometimes of adults as well imitation of models and examples they see in society response to rewards for gender- appropriate behavior and criticism or punishment for gender-inappropriate behavior (from peers as well as adults) Theory on Gender Identity
GENDER TRANSFORMATION Gender identity in cross cultural societies
@2008 LIHernandez6 Hijras of South Asia Hijras are widely referred to in English with the term "eunuch".
@2008 LIHernandez7 Hijras In South India, the goddess Yellamma is believed to have the power to change one's sex. Male devotees in female clothing are known as Jogappa. They perform similar roles to hijra, such as dancing and singing at birth ceremonies and weddings.
@2008 LIHernandez8 Hijras The word kothi (or koti) is common across India, although kothis are often distinguished from hijras. Kothis are regarded as feminine men or boys who take a feminine role in sex with men, but do not live in the kind of intentional communities that hijras usually live in.
@2008 LIHernandez9 Hijras Becoming a hijra is a process of socialization into a "hijra family" through a relationship characterised as chela "student" to guru "teacher", leading to a gradual assumption of femininity. Typically each guru lives with at least five chelas; her chelas assume her surname and are considered part of her lineage. Chelas are expected to give their income to their guru, who manages the household. Hijra families are close knit communities, which often have their own houses.
@2008 LIHernandez10 Hijras This process may culminate in a religious ritual that includes emasculation (total removal of the penis, testes and scrotum in men). Not all hijras undergo emasculation, and the percentage of hijras that are eunuchs is unknown.
@2008 LIHernandez11 Hijras Hijras are often encountered on streets, trains, and other public places demanding money from young men. If refused, the hijra may attempt to embarrass the man into giving money, using obscene gestures, profane language, and even sexual advances. Hijras also perform religious ceremonies at weddings and at the birth of male babies, involving music, singing, and sexually suggestive dancing. These are intended to bring good luck and fertility. Although the hijra are most often uninvited, the host usually pays the hijras a fee. Many fear the hijras' curse if they are not appeased, bringing bad luck or infertility, but for the fee they receive, they can bless goodwill and fortune on to the newly born. Hijras are said to be able to do this because, since they do not engage in sexual activities, they accumulate their sexual energy which they can use to either bestow a boon or a bane.
@2008 LIHernandez12 Baccha of Central Asia
@2008 LIHernandez13 Baccha of Turkestan A bacchá, typically an adolescent of twelve to sixteen, is a performer practiced in erotic songs and suggestive dancing. He wore resplendent attire and makeup, has been considered by some as cross-dressing or actual transgender expression.
@2008 LIHernandez14 Baccha The bacchá was appreciated esthetically for his androgynous beauty, but was also available as a sex worker. The boys were drawn from the ranks of the underclasses, as the profession was as much despised as it was admired.
@2008 LIHernandez15 Baccha The bacchás were trained from childhood and carried on their trade until their beard began to grow. Once they matured out of the trade, some were set up by their patrons in business as merchants, but most boys were left to their own, often meager, resources.
@2008 LIHernandez16 Baccha The practice of keeping dance boys still persists in northern Afghanistan, where many men keep them as status symbols. Some of the individuals involved report being forced into sex, while others report strong emotional and physical bonds formed over the course of relationships lasting many years, often into the boys' adulthood.
@2008 LIHernandez17 Kathoey of Thailand The term kathoey or katoey (Thai: กะเทย ) generally refers to a male- to-female transgender person or an effeminate gay male in Thailand.
@2008 LIHernandez18 Kathoey The term "kathoey" is not an exact equivalent of the modern western transwoman — it suggests that the person is a type of male, unlike the term sao praphet song, which suggests a female sex identity, or phet thee sam, which suggests a third gender. The term phu-ying praphet thi sorng, roughly translated as "second type of woman", is also used to refer to kathoey
@2008 LIHernandez19 Kathoey The term can refer to males who exhibit varying degrees of femininity — many kathoeys dress as women and undergo feminising medical procedures such as hormone replacement therapy, breast implants, genital reassignment surgery, or Adam's apple reductions. Others may wear makeup and use feminine pronouns, but dress as men, and are closer to the western category of effeminate gay man than transgender.
@2008 LIHernandez20 Kathoey Kathoeys are often identified at a young age, and are considered to be "born that way". They may have access to hormones (available without prescription) and medical procedures during their teenage years
@2008 LIHernandez21 Kathoey Some believe that this higher acceptance is due to the nature of the surrounding Buddhist culture, which places a high value on tolerance. Using the notion of Karma, some Thai believe that being a kathoey is the result of transgressions in past lives, concluding that kathoey deserve pity rather than blame.
@2008 LIHernandez22 Snow Virgins A sworn virgin is a person who decides to live in the manner of the opposite sex while adamantly refusing ever to have sexual relations with another. The term itself can be misleading — "swearing" virginity can be a public or private act, and it does not even have to be a conscious decision
@2008 LIHernandez23 The social role of the "sworn virgin" in the Balkans The term sworn virgin has come to refer to a traditional social role in the Balkans: that of a man who was born female. This area is home to a patchwork of seemingly disparate groups, including the Slavic Bosnians/Serbs/Montenegrins and Croats, the Albanians, the Roma and sizable Greek and Romanian minorities
@2008 LIHernandez24 Snow Virgins The origins of Balkan "sworn virgins" is disparate: some choose this role (as early as childhood and as late as just before their marriage ceremony) while others are raised or forced into it by circumstance.
@2008 LIHernandez25 Privileges "Sworn virgins" enjoy great privilege in comparison to those living a female gender. They can smoke, attend male- only events, participate in male-only activities, use men's tools like guns and certain musical instruments, and generally obtain the respect of their born-male peers like any other man.
@2008 LIHernandez26 Limitations However, there are limitations. First, they are forbidden from sexual activity with any other person. Second, they are limited to the traditional female immunity to blood-feud, which remains a major cause of male mortality. If a clan is under siege and all of its males are potential targets for a vengeance murder, the "sworn virgin" is limited to immunity as a target and limited to carrying out crucial men's work without fear of being killed.
@2008 LIHernandez27 Takatāpui (Maori) ofNew Zealand Takatāpui (also spelt takataapui) is the Māori word meaning a devoted partner of the same sex. In modern terminology, a person that identifies as takatāpui is a Māori individual that is queer, in other words gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender or transsexual. The term is not new, but the application of it is very recent. In the 1980s, there was a desire for a label to describe an individual that is both Māori and non- heterosexual. The word takatāpui was found to have existed in pre-colonial New Zealand to describe relationships between people of the same sex. The existence of this word kills the conservative Māori argument that homosexuality did not exist in Māori society prior to the arrival of Europeans.
@2008 LIHernandez28 Fa'afafine of Samoa Fa'afafine) (also spelled faafafine, fafafige, and misspelled fafafini) is a third gender specific to Samoan culture. Fa'afafine are biologically men who in childhood choose by their nature to be raised to assume female gender roles, which is not discouraged in the traditional fa'asamoa (Samoan society).
@2008 LIHernandez29 Fa'afafine Fa'afafine are prominent in all aspects of Samoan society as workers, administrators, educators, church elders, business people, and artists. They are known for their hard work and dedication to the family, and are often the guardians and caretakers to elderly parents, as well as the biological children of their siblings.

Blood Reserves in the City Remain Low
The city is still facing a blood shortage, especially blood types A and O. This prompted the city blood center to call on companies and organizations to have their workers donate blood since there were fewer blood donors walking in from the streets. Type A and O blood reserves have remained low since October. Several major operations in city hospitals have consumed a considerably large amount of blood, and due to the recent scandal that plagued the Red Cross, there are now fewer blood donors in Shenzhen.
So far 100 companies and government organizations have agreed to let the center set up a blood drive for their staff that resulted to a 20 percent increase in donations in November. Three hundred people were able to donate around 130,000 milliliters of blood in addition to 60,000 milliliters that was donated by the employees of the Shenzhen Brother High Technology Co. Ltd.
The center is planning to set up donor centers to help increase blood reserves as the weather is getting colder and people will be going home for the spring festival, which will result in fewer donors. The center has been urged to set up donor centers in bus stops and at Metro stations to further attract potential blood donors.

by Nicolle
(Smyrna, GA)
On Friday I went to my car to retrieve some documents. It was raining and I ran from the car back into the apartment, cutting across the grass. While running, I slipped and fell in a big hole created by some type of animal.
My right foot was stuck in the hole and my body shifted to the right as I was falling. I broke the fall with my right hand and observed my right ankle swelling, with discoloration and scratches.
I am now walking on crutches and require physical therapy. I can not drive, nor apply pressure to the injured area. Can I file a suit against the complex, especially since these large holes are now appearing in different areas of the property? This seems like they are negligent in not repairing these holes.
Nicolle (Smyrna, GA):
You probably don't have to file a lawsuit. The apartment owner likely has business liability insurance. Before going further, contact the apartment complex manager or owner. Explain what happened, and how your injury resulted in medical bills, therapeutic costs, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages (if any) and pain and suffering.
Be sure to take numerous photographs of the hole. The photos will be strong evidence in support of your injury claim. Once you contact the manager or owner, he or she will likely refer the matter over to their insurance company.
Thereafter, you will be contacted and asked to submit copies of your photographs, therapy bills, and other proof of your losses (damages.)
The question to be determined is whether the apartment complex owner was negligent in permitting the hole to exist on his property, especially because of the likelihood tenants and other visitors might be injured by it.
Unless there exists evidence the hole suddenly appeared and there wasn't sufficient time for the manager or owner to discover it, there shouldn't be any controversy about your claim.
In the unlikely event the manager or owner fails to cooperate you can seek the advice and counsel for a personal injury attorney, or file your claim in small claims court.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from an attorney licensed in your state. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here, or call (888) 647-2490.
Best of luck,

Terry Porteous, Christine Bond, Phil Hannaford, Mandy Ryan, Sally Wyke Managing minor illness Factors influencing the choice between self-care and health professional advice: a discrete choice experiment.
Study design Qualitative interviews Aim - To describe what factors influence patients when deciding how to manage minor ailments associated with analgesic use Discrete choice experiment Aim - To describe what trade-offs people make when deciding how to manage minor ailments associated with analgesic use
Qualitative interviews 24 interviews across Scotland asking about: recent experience and management of symptoms associated with analgesic use. reasons for practising self-care and/or consulting health professionals opinions on self-care and use of analgesics
Influencing factors Reasons for practising self- care Faster treatment/easier access Use of complementary treatments Avoidance of unwanted treatments Feelings of control/independence Previous experience of same symptoms Advice from friends, relatives or media Perception that condition is self- inflicted Belief that GP will be of limited help Does not want to waste Drs time Reasons for not practising self-care Having to pay for treatments yourself No advice from Dr/pharmacist Chance of missing important condition Chance of drug interactions Chance of making things worse Belief that nothing can help or stoicism Lack of knowledge Belief that only medical help will work
The attributes The influencing factors Type of management (self-care, GP, pharmacy, practice nurse, complementary, NHS24, do nothing) Time to treatment (the time you have to wait for an appointment, travel time and time taken to get any treatment) (0,1,5 hours, 1,2,5 days) Cost (travel costs and the cost of any treatment e.g. any consultation fee, over-the-counter medicines, complementary remedies etc.)(£2, £5, £7, £15)
The scenario Please imagine this situation: You have a headache and a fever, your bones are aching and your nose feels slightly blocked up. You are still able to do all the things you usually do but are more tired than usual. The symptoms started to appear four days ago, and were slightly worse when you woke up this morning.
A sample question Option 1Option 2 Type of management Self-careGP Availability1 hour2 days Cost £2£7 (Tick ONE box only) Option 1 Option 2 Do nothing Example Which option would you choose?
DCE analysis and results DCE administered during November 2005 Response rate of 57% (326/573) Analysed using multinomial logistic regression Regression coefficients used to estimate - utility (preferences or satisfaction) - willingness-to-pay
Overall preferences For the symptoms presented: Respondents had a general preference for doing something (rather than do nothing) Relative preferences for type of management: Self-care Community pharmacy GP consultation Practice nurse NHS24 Complementary Decreasing preference
Conditional logit regression analysis
Respondents valued self-care at £22.62 i.e they were prepared to pay up to £22.62 to treat these symptoms by self-care but beyond this price, they would rather do nothing. Willingness to pay
They valued other treatment options less highly e.g. they would pay £17.01 LESS than this to treat symptoms using the NHS24 option
Willingness to pay They were prepared to pay £3.69 to reduce the wait to treat symptoms by 1 day
Moving from one service to another Service 1Service 2 Type of management Telephone advice from NHS24 Ask for advice in a pharmacy Wait before treating symptoms 5 hours1 day
Moving from one service to another Service 1Service 2 Type of management Telephone advice from NHS24 β = -1.48 Ask for advice in a pharmacy β = -0.304 Wait before treating symptoms 5 hours β = 5/24*-0.321 1 day β = -0.321 Utility of a service = Constant (1.968) +β (service) Moving from NHS24 to pharmacy management gives an increase in utility ie β (NHS24) – β (pharmacy) = -1.48 – (-0.304) = -1.176
Moving from one service to another Service 1Service 2 Type of management Telephone advice from NHS24 Ask for advice in a pharmacy Wait before treating symptoms 5 hours β = 5/24*-0.321 1 day β = -0.321 Utility of a service = Constant (1.968) +β (service) Moving from a wait of 5 hours to 1 day gives a decrease in utility ie β (5 hours) – β (1 day) = -0.067 – (-0.321) = 0.254
Moving from one service to another Service 1Service 2 Type of management Telephone advice from NHS24 Ask for advice in a pharmacy Wait before treating symptoms 5 hours1 day Overall difference in utility is positive and we can quantify it by WTP U (service 1) – U (service 2) / β (cost) = 0.421-1.343/-0.087 = £10.60 Rather than get telephone advice from NHS24 with a 5 hour wait, a respondent would be willing to pay an extra £10.60 to get advice from a pharmacy with a wait of 1 day
Conclusions Self-care was the preferred way of dealing with these symptoms It was highly valued by respondents Community pharmacy was the preferred source of professional advice DCE allowed quantification of preferences and expressed them by WTP
Assessing what patients liked about pharmacist led medicine management Tinelli M, Ryan M, Bond C
Aim: to evaluate the introduction of the Medicines Management Service by community pharmacists for patients with CHD Randomised Controlled Trial Setting: Nine Health Authorities in England, 50 Community pharmacies, 39 General Practices Primary subjects: Patients with CHD Intervention: Community Pharmacy face-to-face patient review to include medication and lifestyle advice Control: Usual care The Community Pharmacy Medicines Management Project* The Community Pharmacy medicines Management Project Evaluation team (C. Bond Principal Investigator) The MEDMAN study: a randomized controlled trial of community pharmacy-led medicines management for patients with coronary heart disease. Family Practice 2007; 24(2):189-200
Primary outcome measures: appropriate treatment (derived from the NSF), health status (EQ5D and SF36) Secondary outcome measures: satisfaction, experiences and attitudes of patients and health care professionals Time period: All measures were assessed at baseline and 12 months Results: no changes in clinical or QALY outcomes; patients satisfaction higher in the intervention group To use a DCE to –Explain the increased satisfaction –Inform a CBA for the community pharmacy-led medicines management service The Community Pharmacy Medicines Management Project The Community Pharmacy Medicines Management Project
Identification of attributes from replies to patient survey DCE survey questionnaires sent to all patients participating to the trial 2 years after study start (879 intervention; 470 control) DCE compared three options: –a novel community pharmacist and general practitioner review of medicines (CPGP) –a GP only medicines review (GP) –the current scenario WTP in moving from the current situation to CPGP or GP were estimated Groups compared: –intervention all vs control (TAU) (ITTA) –intervention still receiving the Medman service vs control (TAU) (PPA) A priori assumed people who had experienced the service more likely to value it Use of DCE
Attributes Advice –None, only on medicines, only on health/lifestyle, both Time (travelling to and in the pharmacy) –10,20,30,40 min Privacy (in the pharmacy) Satisfactory replies to questions –Yes, No Chance of receiving most appropriate treatment –Very poor, poor, good, very good How much you pay ( medicine + advice+ review+ travel) –£0, £10, £20, £30
Example of DCE choice Medicines review by GP and Pharmacist Medicines review by GP only Current situation ADVICEOn medicine & health/lifestyle No PRIVATE DISCUSSION YesNo SATISFACTORY REPLIES YesNo CHANCE OF APPROPRIATE TREATMENT Very good TIME (Travelling to + waiting in the pharmacy) 10 minutes HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO PAY (Consultation + medicines + travelling) £ 10 WHICH SERVICE WOULD YOU CHOOSE? (Tick one box only)
Results Response rates: Intervention (73%) and Control (67%) 44% of intervention still receiving the service, 52% stopped, 4% never The preferred option for all groups was the current option Controls: –Chance of receiving the best medicine and cost were most important –If moving from the current service would choose the GP only option
Intervention groups Intervention all –Advice on medicines, satisfactory replies as well as chance of receiving the best medicine and cost were most important –If moving from the current service would choose the GP only option Intervention still receiving the service –Advice on medicines, satisfactory replies, chance of receiving the best medicine and cost remained most important plus advice on medicines and lifestyle –If moving from the current service would choose the combined GP-pharmacist option
Willingness to pay Intervention all –Valued their current service at £19.28 Intervention still receiving the service –Valued their current service at £21.99 –Would pay £50 to move to a GP-pharmacist service Control groups –Would pay £17.09 to stay with their current service rather than move to GP-pharmacist service
Cost benefit analysis for trial ControlIntervention allIntervention still receiving the service Mean extra benefits per patient (from DCE) -£17.09£19.28£21.99 Mean extra cost per patient £32.67£18.16 Mean net benefits per patient £-49.76£1.12£3.83
Decision making process Efficient allocation of resources Outcome measuresResultsEconomic evaluation Clinical outcome (Appropriateness of treatment) NO difference across groupsCost minimisation Results: increased total NHS costs with the introduction of the service QALY (EQ5D and SF6D) NO difference across groupsCost minimisation Results: increased total NHS costs with the introduction of the service DCEsDifferences across groups: Subjects who experienced the new service valued the input from their pharmacists, and preferred it to any other option Cost benefit analysis Results: The increase in intervention costs was partially compensated by increased patients valuation for that service
Conclusion Patients value the opportunity to have input from both pharmacist and GP Extra costs of delivering the pharmacy led medicines management service were partially offset by increased value to patients The DCE methodology: –helped understand what patients valued –quantified value of the service within a CBA –is useful for use in pharmacy policy decision making
Summary DCEs can inform emerging policy and evaluate implemented policy Add a dimension not otherwise available In pharmacy research has explained what stakeholders want and how it is valued
