"Receptionist so rude I feel like I have to comment"
Posted by Anonymous
I am yet to have my operation at Renacres, so far all staff have been excellent in their approach and professional except the rude, patronising receptionist! I have called the hospital on numerous occasions for advise, appointment times etc and each time have ended the conversation infuriated by the service received. A real shame as it lets the otherwise fantastic hospital down !

Is gender policy related to the gender gap in external cause and circulatory disease mortality? A mixed effects model of 22 OECD countries 1973–2008
Health policies, systems and management
Gender differences in mortality vary widely between countries and over time, but few studies have examined predictors of these variations, apart from smoking. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between gender policy and the gender gap in cause-specific mortality, adjusted for economic factors and health behaviours.
22 OECD countries were followed 1973–2008 and the outcomes were gender gaps in external cause and circulatory disease mortality. A previously found country cluster solution was used, which includes indicators on taxes, parental leave, pensions, social insurances and social services in kind. Male breadwinner countries were made reference group and compared to earner-carer, compensatory breadwinner, and universal citizen countries. Specific policies were also analysed. Mixed effect models were used, where years were the level 1-units, and countries were the level 2-units.
Both the earner-carer cluster (ns after adjustment for GDP) and policies characteristic of that cluster are associated with smaller gender differences in external causes, particularly due to an association with increased female mortality. Cluster differences in the gender gap in circulatory disease mortality are the result of a larger relative decrease of male mortality in the compensatory breadwinner cluster and the earner-carer cluster. Policies characteristic of those clusters were however generally related to increased mortality.
Results for external cause mortality are in concordance with the hypothesis that women become more exposed to risks of accident and violence when they are economically more active. For circulatory disease mortality, results differ depending on approach – cluster or indicator. Whether cluster differences not explained by specific policies reflect other welfare policies or unrelated societal trends is an open question. Recommendations for further studies are made.
This study relates to three strands of research: studies that associate social policy to population health and health inequalities, studies on the impact of gender equality on population health, and studies that investigate trends and country differences in the male/female mortality gap.
Comparative policy studies with a health focus
As welfare policies have clear effects on income distribution and poverty outcomes
A different analytic strategy is to investigate specific policies and their impact on population health. Factors identified as strongly associated with health improvements are total social spending, universal access to social insurance
Research on the health effects of gender policy, or the effect of policy on gender differences in health, is rare. A group of researchers, however, have examined the association between US state-level policies and women's health. They found that access to health insurance and services, gun control, and policies on violence against women were related to female mental health and cause-specific mortality
Gender equality as a health determinant
Aggregate and multilevel studies from the USA have examined gender equality on state level as a determinant of health. These have used indices of women's political participation, economic autonomy, employment and earnings, and reproductive rights as indicators of gender equality. Investigated outcomes were mortality and reported days of activity limitations
The male/female mortality gap
In countries where very long time-series data is available it has been shown that from the early 17th to the early 20th century male and female mortality differed only slightly, with absolute differences varying from 0 to 2 years of life expectancy at birth
There is a scientific controversy regarding the causes of the changing gender gap in mortality. Some scholars argue that changes are primarily driven by the stage of diffusion of cigarette smoking
Some researchers, especially those with a biological/evolutionary outlook, have chosen to focus on risk-taking among (young) males as a primary explanation of gender differences in mortality
To summarise, few studies have examined the impact of policy on gender differences in health, or of gender policy on the absolute levels of health or disease. Bambra et al.
Aims and hypotheses
The aim of this study is to investigate the link between gender policy and the gender gap in external cause and circulatory disease mortality. These outcomes were chosen as they both contribute strongly to the overall gender gap in mortality and to its decline, while their association with smoking is different.
Our main hypothesis is that earner-carer countries
In the case of external cause mortality, women's role expansion is likely to lead to increased risk exposure, and probably also to more risk-prone behaviour. For men, gender equality-friendly countries may be characterised by masculinities that are less 'extreme' and thus less risk-prone, than in more traditional countries
In the case of circulatory disease mortality, women's role expansion could be both health enhancing; due to increased status and economic resources at different life stages, and health endangering; due to increased stress and a move towards masculine eating, drinking and smoking habits. For men, increased competition with women may be a stressor, while increased female employment also leads to economic prosperity for society at large as well as for the individual family unit, alleviating the burden of the male breadwinner. This means that the net effect may go in either direction.
An alternative hypothesis is that cluster differences are due to other societal factors such as economic development or income inequality, or health behaviours unrelated to achieved gender equality.
Specific policy indicators were chosen not for their purported health effects, but to measure aspects of Sainsbury's concept

Indicators were chosen to reflect aspects of Sainsbury's concept gender policy regimes. Sainsbury originally proposed two ideal types: the
In short, the male breadwinner countries score higher on monetary support to a sole breadwinner through tax allowances or tax credits, and they also favour a single earner family through treating the household as a single tax unit. They score medium on some compensatory measures in the pension system - credited years for child care - but have low gender differences in retirement age (illustrated by a tick within parentheses). Compensatory breadwinner countries mostly have separate taxation, and they are high performers on compensatory measures in the pension system. The two universal citizen countries are characterised by separate taxation and a universal pension system where no contributions are required. The earner-carer countries are characterised by generous parental leaves, high social services expenditure, separate taxation and high pension universality. The gender policy clusters partly overlap with an expanded welfare state framework (see for example Eikemo et al.
Mortality data comes from WHO Europe's Health for All database, except for the five non-European countries, where data was collected from WHOs mortality database, and standardised by the authors. The outcomes are mortality from external causes (V00-Y89 in ICD10, B47-B56 in ICD9) and circulatory disease (I00-I99 in ICD10, B25-B30 in ICD9). These are expressed as age standardised (to the European standard population) mortality rates per 100 000. The gender gap was calculated as a standardised measure defined as the absolute difference divided by male mortality * 100. The gender gap for circulatory disease has an overall mean of 63.8 (standard deviation 5.98) and the gender gap for external causes has a mean of 58.8 (standard deviation 7.28).
While external causes of death includes deaths in all age-groups, circulatory disease mortality extends only to those aged 64 years or less. This choice was made based on the fact that external causes is dependent on the behaviour of others as well as that of oneself (e.g. reckless driving may kill infants), and on the fact that all-age circulatory disease mortality is skewed towards the oldest old; we wanted to primarily measure mortality that is avoidable/premature. Due to its small population Iceland has very fluctuating mortality rates and therefore a 3-year moving average was used to smooth the curve for Iceland.
Confounders and mediators
While economic growth can be seen as necessary but not sufficient for population health
Whether cluster differences are mediated through gender equality was analysed by including the GEM, which is an index consisting of the following indicators: female and male shares of parliamentary seats, female and male shares of positions as legislators, senior officials and managers, female and male shares of professional and technical positions (all in relation to the male and female population size), and female and male estimated earned income in relation to a predefined goalpost (PPP US $ 40,000). The first occurrence of the GEM can be found in the 1995 Human development report and it is not updated annually. The GEM was also included as time invariant, reflecting the situation around 2004. For France, there was no data for 2004, and the figure used was the closest in time from 2004.
Some health behaviours that could either be seen as confounders or mediators were also included. These were, for external causes, alcohol consumption based on sales and measured as litre per capita per year, and for circulatory disease, alcohol consumption, total calorie intake per day (also based on sales), and male and female smoking prevalence (based on surveys). Alcohol consumption and calorie intake was unfortunately not divided by sex. Smoking prevalence was not available for all years, with different starting points for different countries (ranging from 1973 to 1997). Missing smoking data (in between end points) was imputed using linear interpolation. All health behaviours come from OECD Health data.
All material for this study consists of data that has been collected from publicly available sources. Due to the aggregate nature of the data, its use does not require ethical approval according to the Stockholm Regional Ethical Review Board (dnr 2011/588-31/5).
The data set consists of 22 countries followed across 36 years, 1973–2008, giving a maximum of 792 observations. Since not all confounders were available for all years, there were a number of missing observations (at most 20% for smoking prevalence). Data was analysed using a mixed effects model, a method which can handle unbalanced data sets and that does not require observations nested within higher level units to be unrelated
As secular time trends are often strongly (but not necessarily causally) related, time has been included in the model. The modelling approach was to fit time trends using a 3rd degree polynomial, centred at 1990. To avoid over fitting, only the effects of the intercept and of the linear term were allowed to vary between countries. To account for the fact that yearly fluctuations in part depend on the size of a country's population, average population size (divided by 107) was regarded in the modelling of the intra-country variance (not shown).
The base model contains only time-trends. Model 1 includes also the main predictor the 2004 cluster solution with the male breadwinner cluster as reference group. In model 2, factors related to the economic development level and income distribution (GDP/capita and the Gini coefficient for 2005) have been added as confounders. In model 3 gender equality measured by the GEM for 2004 has been added as a possible mediator, and in model 4 health behaviour indicators have been adjusted for (alcohol, smoking, and calorie intake). The estimates and their respective standard errors are presented in Tables
The second part of the analyses investigates the relationship between policy indicators and health outcomes. Policy indicators characteristic of those clusters that were significantly different from the reference group male breadwinners were included together with confounders (see Table
Autocorrelation, i.e. similar departure from an individual country's estimated trend curve for observations close in time, violates assumptions of independence between residuals and may bias estimates
Descriptive results regarding trends and cluster differences may be found in Table
For circulatory disease mortality, results for the gender gap are based on a small and insignificant relative mortality increase among women in earner-carer countries and a relative decrease among men in earner-carer and compensatory breadwinner countries compared to the reference group (Additional file
For the second part of our analyses, we investigated earner-carer indicators and for circulatory disease mortality also indicators that distinguish the compensatory breadwinner cluster from the male breadwinner cluster (Table
For circulatory disease mortality (0–64 years), no earner carer indicators are associated with the gender gap (Table
For external cause mortality, the earner carer cluster had, as hypothesised, a somewhat lower gender gap than the male breadwinner cluster. This difference was related to several of the policies characteristic of the earner-carer cluster; maternity and paternity leave, social services expenditure and universal basic pensions. The effect on gender gaps was generally due to a positive association with female mortality. Increased exposure to both accidents and violence for women could be a side effect from their increased participation in public life. Also the effect of universal basic pensions could be seen as hinging on increased opportunities for social participation. This is consistent with research showing that some causes of death, e.g. due to traffic accidents, are higher during boom years
For circulatory disease mortality (0–64 years) both the earner-carer and the compensatory breadwinner clusters experience a larger decrease in male mortality than the male breadwinner cluster, leading to a shrinking gender gap. Additional analyses were performed for circulatory disease mortality in all ages, to see whether results were dependent on the age distribution of these deaths (not shown). The only cluster with a significantly decreasing gender gap in all ages over time compared to the reference group is the universal citizen cluster, due to a larger relative decrease in male mortality. Thus, the decrease in male circulatory mortality achieved in the earner-carer and the compensatory breadwinner clusters is primarily due to a decrease of premature deaths. Earner-carer indicators were however not related to gender gaps in circulatory disease mortality, as most indicators (apart from universal basic pensions which were related to decreased mortality) were associated with higher male as well as female mortality. This is in contrast to the results for cluster differences, and could be interpreted as cluster differences being related to policies not included here. As previously noted, the earner-carer cluster overlaps with the social democratic cluster which is characterised by universality (here represented by universal basic pensions) and benefit generosity (not included). However, income inequality was not a confounder for cluster differences. After adjustment for gender equality measured by the GEM, the decrease in the gender gap which initially was almost twice as large for the earner-carer cluster was similar between the earner-carer and the compensatory breadwinner clusters. A possible pathway could go through shared breadwinning, which could be both stress-reducing for men and lead to higher household income.
Methodological considerations
The strengths of this study are the inclusion of many countries over an extended period of time, most policy indicators and mortality outcomes are available for each year 1973–2008, and the inclusion of both country clusters and specific policies. Further, there is an inclusion both of economic factors and health behaviours. However, all confounders were not ideally measured. The Gini coefficient and the GEM were included as time invariant, alcohol consumption and calorie intake were not divided by sex, and smoking prevalence was available from the start for only a few countries. Other important exposures that were not included are physical activity and eating habits. However, including fat consumption rather than calorie intake did not affect results (not shown).
One may note that the GEM does not cover important aspects of gender equality such as division of labour within the household, in addition to gender equality in certain (mostly top-level) political and occupational indicators. Perhaps the GEM should be supplemented with indicators measuring women's status as an absolute concept
Several factors had to be included as time invariant as time-series data was lacking. These time-invariant variables (the GEM, the Gini coefficient) were set at 2004–05 as all countries had data for this time which means that a country's value at the end of the period is set as a predictor of differences in 1990 (the centre) and of change over time. Also the cluster solution in this study mirrors only the situation in 2004. It is not immediately obvious that this is the best model, especially if values have changed much over time. However, if the time-invariant factors capture enduring aspects, the existence of time lags should be less of a problem.
Specific indicators of gender regimes were not primarily chosen to act as health predictors nor were all aspects of Sainsbury's gender policy regime framework possible to include. Employment and wage policies such as antidiscrimination policies and paid components for caring in the home could have been incorporated, had better data been available. Inclusion of more indicators reflecting benefit universality could also have a special bearing on women's opportunities. Moreover, the quality of data for several policy indicators has increased with time pointing to the possibility of undiscovered errors, especially prior to the 1990s
The existence of lagged effects may concern both policy uptake (cultural lags) and policy lags (societal change comes first)
A different modeling strategy from including time trends is to transform the outcome using simple differencing, so that yearly changes are analysed. With this strategy almost all of the variance was still found between time points. By including time trends however, the intra-class correlation (a measure of the similarity between, in this case, years within countries) was for example 93% for female circulatory disease mortality and 85% for female external cause mortality implying that most of the remaining variance is found between countries. As our interest lies mostly in explaining country/cluster differences including time trends seems like the best option.
To sum up, the results for external cause mortality are consistent regardless of which approach, cluster or indicator, is used. Results are also in concordance with the hypothesis that women become more exposed to risks of accident and violence when they are economically more active. For circulatory disease mortality, the results differ between the two approaches. There is a decrease in male mortality in the earner-carer and compensatory breadwinner cluster while single policy indicators (except for universal basic pensions which is related to a decrease) are related to increased mortality. As stated earlier, it is possible that cluster differences are explained by unmeasured policies or other societal trends which have not been accounted for. However, much of the male mortality decline in the earner-carer cluster was related to achieved gender equality, while income inequality was not a confounder. We suggest including policy indicators as indices to get a better idea of the impact of the whole policy package. In further studies we would also suggest including general welfare regime indicators alongside gender policy in order to understand these discrepant findings.
aThe main dimensions of welfare regimes, as outlined by Esping-Andersen, are social rights in terms of their capacity for decommodification, the redistributive effect of welfare states, and state-market relations in welfare production and distribution, and the three original clusters are the social democratic, the liberal and the corporatist
bGender equality of economic participation, political participation and power over economic resources.
cThe Human Development Index (life expectancy, gross enrolment ratio in education, literacy rate, earned income) adjusted for gender inequality in each dimension.
dThis could however also lead to problems with reliability between ICD-versions and between countries.

Financing trends 2015 – Other public sector financing
Total non-ICA public sector funding commitments to develop Africa's infrastructure increased to $56.1bn in 2015, from $52.8bn in 2014. This rise of over 6% was despite African national governments reducing their identifiable infrastructure allocations in 2015.
African national budgets for infrastructure development
Identifiable infrastructure allocations by African national governments totalled $28.4bn in 2015, compared with $34.5bn in 2014. Information was received from 44 countries in 2015, up from 42 in 2014. Smaller national allocations to infrastructure development were primarily due to pressure from low oil and commodity prices, which appear to have had a negative impact on government spending in some of the continent's largest economies.
In 2015, transport accounted for 54% of total infrastructure spending, maintaining the sector's dominant position (51% of total spending in 2014). However, in financial terms the total amount allocated to transport dropped by 13% – from $17.6bn in 2014 to $15.3bn in 2015. Energy projects attracted the second largest amount of infrastructure allocations, accounting for $6bn or 21% of 2015 allocations compared with $7.5bn or 21.7% in 2014. Allocations to the water sector amounted to $4.1bn (14.5% of all allocations), while allocations to multi-sector projects and the ICT sector account for the remaining commitments.
Figure 36: National government budget allocations by sector ($bn)
Investments announced by China reached a record level of $20.9bn in 2015, compensating for the very low level of announcements of $3.1bn in 2014. Over the five years to 2015, the average annual level of Chinese investments is $13.1bn, while the previous highest annual total of investments of $15bn was reported in 2011.
Energy appears to have become a new priority for China, which announced investments of $10bn in the sector in 2015, double the previous record of $5.2bn recorded in 2012, and for the first time topping Chinese investment in transport. Over the previous five years, China announced investments in energy totalling $20bn and $40bn in transport. (Data for China should be treated with some caution since it is based largely on media reports of announcements, rather than commitments. Some projects may be delayed or will not go ahead.)

Arab Coordination Group
Members of the Arab Coordination Group (ACG) committed a record $4.4bn to African infrastructure projects in 2015, surpassing the previously highest commitment of $3.9bn in 2012. This was substantially due to a near doubling of commitments by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the group's largest financier of Africa's infrastructure. The IDB provided $2.2bn or 49% of ACG's commitments by value compared with $1.3bn or 34% in 2014.
There has been a shift in the ACG's regional focus over the last two years, with funding for North Africa unusually falling substantially below the 50% mark in 2015. In 2014 the ACG's funding focus was beginning to expand beyond the countries with which it has cultural and linguistic ties to East and West Africa. The 2015 data seems to underline this trend, while the group also appears to be focusing more on Central and Southern Africa, albeit from a relatively low base.
There has also been a change in the sectoral emphasis. While energy was the focus in the three years to 2014, there has been an increase in interest during this period in the transport sector, to the extent that in 2015 transport commitments surpassed those made to energy by $517m, to top $2bn.

Non-ICA member European funding
Commitments to African infrastructure by bilateral DFIs decreased in 2015 but this was partially compensated by the increased participation of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the continent's infrastructure development. Overall, commitments by non-ICA member European funders totalled $876m in 2015, down from $1.3bn in 2014.
Energy continued to be the focus of commitments in 2015 (52.3%, compared to 68% in 2014), followed by transport (39.4%) and ICT (8.3%). As in the previous two years, no investments were made in the water sector. North Africa attracted the lion's share of commitments (79%), followed by East Africa (8.4%) and Central Africa (7.7%).
At $239m in 2015, non-ICA member DFI commitments were around one quarter of those made in 2014. This reduction was offset significantly, however by the establishment of the EBRD as a major funder of Africa's infrastructure. EBRD committed over $637m to five energy and transport projects, in Morocco and Egypt.

African regional development banks
Africa's regional development banks (excluding DBSA, which is an ICA member) committed $418m in 2015, a decrease on the $583m committed in 2014. BOAD (the West African Development Bank) contributed the bulk of this ($352m), divided primarily between transport (31.9%), energy (25.6%) and ICT (21.7%).
DBSA committed $929m towards Africa's infrastructure development in 2015, with 78.1% of this going towards the energy sector while multi-sector projects received 14% of 2015 commitments.
Other funding sources
India committed $524m to African infrastructure projects in 2015, up from $424m in 2014 (but short of the $761m committed in 2013). Of its 2015 commitments, $255m targeted the energy sector and $268m was directed at water operations. All the commitments were made up of loans extended via lines of credit from the Export-Import Bank of India.
Through its Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES), Brazil made just one – albeit substantial – commitment in 2015, with $500m allocated to a hydro power project in Angola. Part of the government's continuing efforts to increase the country's hydroelectric capacity, the commitment also maintains the trend of Brazil's development bank to support only Lusophone countries in Africa.
South Korea's Export-Import Bank reported one commitment in 2015, with $88.19m of long-term, low-interest, credit extended to Senegal's Maritime Infrastructure Establishment Project II. South Korea's support for Africa's infrastructure development, which consistently targets the transport sector, has been somewhat inconsistent, with $677m committed in 2012, $174m in 2013 and $206m in 2014.

A few weeks ago, we went to the Indiana State Fair our friends in our Bible study group. We meet twice a month, and since we were between studies, we decided to just go hang out and eat a bunch of fair food with our families. Truly, my favorite part of the fair is spending way too much money on all the delicious temptations they have to eat. We weren't in the fairgrounds for more than 10 minutes before Ryan and I were wolfing down a rib-eye steak sandwich and an ear of corn. Soon after, we ordered some jumbo corn dogs to share with Noah. They offered fun slushies where you could add multiple flavors to your jumbo sized cup, so I filled mine with raspberry and grape. We topped everything off with the most delicious elephant ear I had ever eaten. YUM!
There was a little section set up for kids, so Ryan and I took Noah there to check things out. We put an apron on him, and he grabbed a little bucket. We walked around from barn to silo to house, completing various tasks along the way.
Below you can see Noah taking the grain he got from the silo and feeding it to the cow. Guess it's not a grass-fed cow. :)
After that we walked over to this little garden area where Noah had to plant a seed with his little shovel and rake. He loved that part! We walked over to the apple orchard area where Noah picked up the perfect apple to add to his basket.
We made our way over to a little circular track where the kids could drive these miniature tractors. It was so cute! Ryan walked Noah around the path, and I'm not sure that Noah ever quit smiing during this part of the adventure.
Next Noah had to milk the cow, which he thought was pretty cool. Sometimes I can't think about stuff like that - you know, where milk originates because I LOVE milk. If I think about it too much, it completely grosses me out. This is really true with any animal product. So, I didn't bother telling Noah that is where we get his milk. What he doesn't know won't hurt him!
After Noah finished all his tasks - milking cows, collecting fruits/vegetables, gathering wool, etc. - he had to take the fruits of his labor to the market. Here they paid him one dollar for his hard work, and he got to spend it inside the store. They had a bunch of healthy snacks like string cheese, pretzels, yogurt, and milk. It was really cute! Noah, without much surprise, chose pretzels.
We walked around the fairgrounds with our friends and just enjoyed the night. By the end of the evening, my stomach was full of the delcious, greasy, sugary things we ate. I already can't wait until next summer!

Some federal agencies will begin tracking visitors to their websites, perhaps signaling the end of a nearly 10-year ban on 'persistent cookies' that many have lambasted as outdated.
A handful of departments have recently sought waivers to begin using those online tools, which essentially allow webmasters to tune viewers' Web browsing experiences based on portions of the website they have previously visited.
However, agencies have routinely sought waivers to that policy, according to NextGov, which first discovered the practice was gaining more widespread federal acceptance. A handful of agencies already have them -- including NASA, which uses the cookies to shield users from constant prompts to grade the website.
The General Services Administration later granted a universal cookie waiver to agencies accepting input on their open government plans -- that's how users are able to log into one government website and share their opinions across agencies.
Still, those changes complement the White House's larger push to rewrite the persistent cookie policy altogether. Nextgov reports that the Obama administration has recently approached the OMB about revising its long-standing cookie rules, but it is still unclear when those changes might enter into effect.

David Ferrer solidified his bid for a place in the year-ending World Tour Finals with a 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 win over Gael Monfils in the Austrian Open semi-finals on Saturday.
The Spanish top seed, who lost the Vienna title match a year ago to Andy Murray, won 12 of the last 14 points to see off French crowd-pleaser Monfils after two hours of battle, including an opening set of 75 minutes.
The sixth-seeded Monfils was competing for the first time since back trouble struck him at the US Open.
"This was my toughest match this week and I had to play my best tennis of the week to win it," said Ferrer.
"Gael is an unbelievable, charismatic player and a good friend."
Ferrer improved in the sprint for a one of the remaining two spots at the eight-man ATP World Tour Finals next month in London and currently stands in provisional eighth place.
The Spaniard has now put 1200 points of daylight between himself and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, trailing on provisional ninth.
Ferrer will play at home next week in Valencia, where he can add further points at another 500 series event.
"I'm not classified yet for London, but this is a big step. The most important thing was that I played well," added the Spaniard.
"I was out for three months with an elbow injury but I'm playing well. It would be a bonus for me to be there in London, but the goal now is to win tomorrow."
The tireless 33-year-old will bid for his fifth title of an injury-hit season when he faces American outsider Steve Johnson in Sunday's final.
The world number 47 reached his first career final with a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) defeat of Ernests Gulbis.
"Ferrer has been a top 10 player for a decade," said Johnson.
"It's gonna be fun. He's a bulldog and will compete to his best ability.
"I respect everyone but fear no one. I'll play my game and take it to him, Every time you enter an event you expect to win.
"This is my first chance to do that, so I want to go out and play good tennis."
Johnson earned his third victory over Latvia's Gulbis, taking 91 minutes to set up a first match with Ferrer.
Johnson fired 12 aces and 27 winners, committing just a dozen unforced errors while the patchy Gulbis was plagued by 29 miscues.
Gulbis, ranked 117th after once standing in the Top 10, had looked to be on the road to rehabilitation after injuries this season.
The Latvian had earlier this week dispatched two of the biggest servers in the game – third seed John Isner and number seven Ivo Karlovic.
Johnson was appearing in his third semi-final of 2015 after knocking out second seed Kevin Anderson in the quarter-finals.

Ar is mentioned in the Bible several times as a city of ancient Moab (Numbers 21:15). While the exact location is unknown, it was likely in the southern part of the Arnon Valley.[1] The city was one of Moab's most prominent, being listed by the prophet Isaiah in his denunciation of the Moabite nation (Isaiah 15:1).
The Bible later speaks of Ar as being captured by the Amorite King Sihon (Isaiah 21:28).
Modern scholars believe that the word "Ar" likely meant "city".[2]

Roath, 'Y Rhath'
Roath once had a railway station but closed in 1917.
The history of Roath have found conflicting settlements, there has been speculation of a Roman settlement as well as a pre-existing Iron Age settlement. Roath Court is a nineteenth-century villa on the site of the medieval manor house of Roath. The Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch was built in 1870 on the site of a Norman chapel and the new Gothic revival church. Inside the church lies nine tombs all of which are members of the Bute family, including the First Marquess and his wives. The tower of St Margaret's wasn't completed until 1926.
Roath is located to the North West of Cardiff, this leafy suburb is defined by Newport Road and borders with Splott and Cathays. Roath's best feature is Roath Park Lake, which is an idyllic walking spot for the locals. The main tributaries to Roath are Albany Road and Wellfield Road which provide an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars, which makes Roath a very desirable place to live. People that reside here are a mixture of families, student, young professionals and postgraduates that live in a combination of flats and houses suitable for a range of budgets. Roath, benefits being close to the city centre.

Summary: Hinata was disowned by her father. She is given away to the Uchiha family, where her whole life is changed. Instead of sorrow and hurt, it is replaced with kindness and love.
Fugaku, Itachi and Sasuke's father, led Hinata to their house. The small 6 year old girl followed obediently and silently. The Uchiha boys were already asleep, seeing as it was dark, at midnight. Mikoto had walked out of the living room to greet them. She received word that the Hyuuga heir was disowned and given to them. Fugaku whispered some words in Mikoto's ear and headed to bed. Mikoto walked toward Hinata and smiled at her. It seemed as if Hinata was crying her eyes out, they were all red. "Let's get you to bed, okay Hinata?" Mikoto told Hinata.
Hinata only nodded and followed Mikoto. She held her hand and took her to an extra bedroom, which would now be hers. Mikoto helped her into bed and covered the blanket, just like she did for Sasuke. A quick while after, the precious little Hinata was sound asleep.
Hinata awoke from sleep, eyes at the ceiling. She looked around at her surroundings. She sat upward; these walls were not familiar to her. A short while after, a painful memory came to her. What happened last night. She was abandoned by her father and given to the Uchihas. Filled with deep sadness, she sunk herself in bed again. Hinata knew why her father did not want her; she was weak and not fitting for the Hyuuga heir. Her eyes started to water as she thought more about it. Very soon, she cried, with her arms crossed on top of her legs. Her muffled tears were able to be heard through the door.
As she continued crying, thinking about the horrible truth, she came to the conclusion that she was worthless.
Sasuke Uchiha could hear her muffled tears coming from her room. He had not yet known that she would be living with them. With curiosity, he followed the muffled sounds toward Hinata's room. Pressing his ears onto the door, he could tell that it was a girl. His hand reached for the doorknob, and he opened the door.
The door opened wide, swiftly and silently. Sasuke saw a small girl crying with her head buried in her hand. Now Sasuke was extremely curious. Why was this girl here? Why is she in the house? Who let her in? Did she break in? Who was she? Questions ran through his head. However, he really wanted to know… Why she was crying? Sasuke walked closer toward the bed.
Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Instantly, Sasuke turned around to see his mother.
"O-kaa-san… Why is she—"
Sasuke, please go downstairs. Breakfast is ready." Mikoto smiled, interrupting him.
Hinata jerked up when she had first heard Sasuke's voice. Questions formed in her head as well. Why is this boy here? Who is he? Is he her son? That's probably why he called her Okaasan. She thought to herself. Why is he in here?
Sasuke wanted to stay longer, but he obeyed his mothers orders. "Hai, Okaasan." He nodded. His eyes glanced at Hinata with curiosity. He turned around and left the room, running toward his older brother, Itachi, to tell him of the girl. Maybe Itachi knows who he is.
Mikoto walked toward Hinata and sat on her bed. Hinata's bright lavender eyes stared back at her. She looked so innocent. Mikoto felt sorry for this poor girl. She didn't deserve to be abandoned.
"Hinata…" Mikoto started. Her eyes looked at Hinata in sorrow. "How are you doing?"
Hinata's six year old self looked back at her innocently. Tears formed once again as they did before.
Mikoto's arms opened up to comfort her. She embraced Hinata in a hug. Hinata only continued to cry.
Mikoto did not know how to help this poor girl. She didn't know how to make her feel better. She let Hinata go and her hands held Hinata's shoulders. "Hinata…" she gave a small smile. "I want you to think of us as your new family."
Hinata's head lifted up. They... they're accepting me.. just like that... she thought.
Mikoto continued, "All of us.. I want you to think of all of us as your family. Sasuke and Itachi, and me and my husband. You'll have two brothers.. and us.. a mother and father. Is that ... okay?"
Hinata looked back at her. "But, what about.. my real father." she said slowly. Once she started talking about him, tears formed in her eyes once again.
Mikoto did not know the answer to this. She didn't want Hinata to forget about her father, but she was always hurt by him. "I think.. it is best if you do not think about him since.. it hurts for you to think about him."
Hinata's tears stopped. She nodded. The two once again hugged.In Mikoto's hands, Hinata looked up toward her face. "Does that mean.. I call you Okaasan also.."
Mikoto's lips formed a smile and she nodded. Hinata gave her a smile back. "So.. lets go downstairs to get some breakfast.. okay?"
Hinata nodded, happily now. She held Mikoto's hand and walked downstairs.
Sasuke was discussing about Hinata with Itachi. "But Oniisan. I saw a girl in the room."
"Hai hai. Okaasan will probably tell you more about her when she comes down." Itachi responded calmly. He could really care less about her , and Sasuke was irritating him.
Sasuke sighed. His brother never told him anything and could care less about Sasuke's needs.
At that moment, Mikoto came down with Hinata hiding behind her. Hinata was quite nervous to meet.. new people. Although the two brothers did catch her attention. Sasuke because he looked like he was the same age as her and that he came into the room a moment ago. And Itachi because he was dark and mysterious. He would become like an older brother figure.
Mikoto went to the kitchen, where the two brothers were. Hinata was hiding behind her legs, and she poked her head out a little, still a little nervous.
Sasuke stared back at her. That's her... he thought. He tugged on Itachi and whispered to him, "Oniisan, oniisan, thats her.. thats the girl I saw."
Itachi only looked back at him and nodded. He didn't even give a smile. His eyes darted to Mikoto, waiting for her to speak.
"Boys" Mikoto spoke, as she gently pulled Hinata out of hiding. "This is Hinata. She's the same age as Sasuke, six." She paused, "And.. she'll be living here from now on. So I want you boys to think of her as a little sister. Okay? Understand?" Mikoto let out a smile as she finished speaking. "Itachi, Sasuke... Okay?"
"Hai." Sasuke said as he continued looking at Hinata. Itachi nodded in response also.
Mikoto nodded back. "So, breakfast then..." The boys went to their seats as Hinata stood there. "Oh! Hinata.. you can sit right here next to Sasuke." Hinata nodded and headed over. She nervously seated herself.
The boys ate and Hinata also slowly ate. She sometimes glanced over to the two boys. It was extremely quiet.
After they finished, Itachi left the house. Sasuke was going out also, to train as usual. Hinata stood there, she didn't know where to go, she was new after all. Mikoto stopped him, "Sasuke..." she called out. "Why don't you and Hinata train together?"
Sasuke stopped and turned to Hinata. "Do you know how to fight?"
Mikoto looked at the interaction between the two. Hinata should know how to fight, she's was raised in the Hyuuga clan after all. she thought.
Hinata nodded, "I.. um.. I know some.."
Sasuke smiled, "Alright. Then I'll fight you. Okay?"
She was surprised. Fight me.. He wants to fight me?
Mikoto knew Hinata was nervous. "Sasuke, go easy okay? Don't go crazy with fighting like you usually do."
Sasuke chuckled, "Hai." he motioned for Hinata to come. "Come on Hinata."
Sasuke and Hinata went to the training fields.
SO. Good, bad? REVIEW PLEASE. Reviews make a new chapter. :)

'At the Movies' dishes it out, takes it
Fri., March 6, 2009
"At the Movies" critics Ben Mankiewicz and Ben Lyons have dished it out and taken it since joining the show last fall.
That's especially true for Lyons, who's gotten heat from fellow critics and others for hobnobbing with Hollywood insiders and his alleged quest for blurb glory in movie ads. They don't like his reviews much, either.
While everyone's entitled to their opinion, Mankiewicz says, the thumbs-down for his colleague is "just wrong."
"Nobody who meets him is going to doubt that this guy knows a lot about film and is thoughtful about it, is interested and wants to talk about it," he says. "Everything came through this prism of presuming that he's young and didn't know what he was talking about."
Lyons says the attacks are inaccurate but leave him unfazed.
"It hasn't bothered me, hasn't affected me," he says. "I'm traveling, working, have a couple different jobs going on. I'm too busy to let it get to me.
"I do look at it as I criticize people's work, someone's going to criticize my work."
The pair contrast sharply: Mankiewicz, 41, is low-key and droll, while Lyons, 27, is all boyish enthusiasm.
Lyons, a Hollywood reporter and film critic for the E! Network and others, and Turner Classic Movies host Mankiewicz started last September on the show distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
They replaced Richard Roeper, who'd been working with guest critics since illness took Roger Ebert off the air in 2006. (Ebert's trademark thumbs up-thumbs down is gone, too.)
Viewership initially dipped, with 1.8 million people tuning in compared to the nearly 2.4 million the show was averaging last season. But there's been a steady uptick, to 2.3 million viewers in January, according to ratings released by Disney.
Lyons and Mankiewicz, who commute from Los Angeles to Chicago for tapings, say their on-air chemistry still is jelling as they move at a fast clip through films, squeezing in an extra review – about six total, along with DVD critiques – in the latest incarnation of the long-running show.
Observers have criticized the revamp as a surrender to lightweight criticism, with Lyons bearing the brunt of the attacks.
"It's kind of mind-boggling to me that we're at this point that Ben Lyons basically has become the face of film criticism," says Erik Childress, vice president of the Chicago Film Critics Association.
He was willing to give Lyons a chance but "it seems every week he's out there saying something completely moronic," Childress says, adding that Mankiewicz is trying "to keep the spirit of the show alive."
Scott Johnson, a blogger who founded StopBenLyons.com, says Lyons "seems more interested in kind of playing into what's the latest vehicle for hype and seeing if he can jump on the bandwagon rather than being critical and offering an opinion that's going to challenge people."
Lyons takes issue with claims that he's angling to get quoted in movie ads and panders to the industry.
His reviews have been "blurbed" far less than those of other critics, he says. And mingling with Hollywood insiders is helpful as long as he keeps his reviews honest, Lyons adds, insisting that he does.
"In the past, it might have hurt the show a bit that (reviewers) were isolated in Chicago. I enjoy the fact that I'm out here in L.A. and I know writers and directors and actors," he says.
"I'm young and I'm going to be out and social and to meet people and develop genuine friendships with them and understand the (artistic) choices they've made."
Mankiewicz's wry aside: "I'm not young, I'm not social and I don't enjoying going out. But I want to establish that we get along really well."
It's the latest twist in the journey of "At the Movies," which had its roots in a 1975 PBS series with Chicago newspaper critics Ebert and Gene Siskel (who died in 1999) and became the leading national TV forum for film criticism.
Ebert, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and Siskel offered brief but trenchant TV assessments of movies that they analyzed in greater depth and detail in print.
That was then and this is now, Mankiewicz and Lyons say.
"This is a TV show and the notion that only people who qualify to talk about film criticism are people who have written for a newspaper seems silly," Mankiewicz says.
Look at it this way, he adds: Would anyone suggest that NBC anchor Brian Williams write "750 to 2,500 words on the stimulus package before he discusses it on the air?"
That does not signal any less respect for films or those who make them, the pair say, and they produce family history as evidence.
Mankiewicz's grandfather, writer Herman Mankiewicz ("Citizen Kane"), and great-uncle, writer-director Joseph Mankiewicz ("All About Eve," "A Letter to Three Wives"), both are Oscar winners.
Lyons, whose grandfather was New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons, went to screenings as a child with his dad, critic Jeffrey Lyons, who encouraged his appreciation of classic films.
When it comes to movie criticism, Lyons and Mankiewicz say tradition is giving way to the rising chorus of voices online. That gives them a sharp appreciation of their "high-profile platform," Lyons says.
"Everybody can be a critic but that doesn't mean that everybody takes it seriously or responsibly, and that's something we can do," he says.
"It's our job, it's what we do and love, so we treat it with the utmost respect."

Whittany and Brittany Biskit aka the Biskit Twins are the main antagonists of the show Littlest Pet Shop. They're both the rivals of Blythe Baxter and are the daughters of Fisher Biskit, the owner of the petstore across the street. They both have fair-pale skin and bright pink-red eyes with what seems to be just a bit of eyeshadow and dark lipstick. Whitney has black hair with her longer bangs on the left worn with bright pink hairclips, while Britney wears her white hair with the bangs to the right, with dark purple-pink clips.The twins' most common attire consists of school oriented uniforms but with minor differences. Whitney wears a dark berry-pink colored jacket with darker pink at the neck and cuffs. A small icon is on the chest, matching the yellow tie worn with the pale blue undershirt. Her skirt is a darker shade with light pink, yellow, and pale pink line detailing. She also wears below the knee dark pink socks, lighter pink boots, and gold bracelets and jewelry. They are voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent
Whittany and Brittany are two spoiled and rude teenage twins. When Blythe first came to town, they tried to genuinely be nice to her, but they also took the time to criticize her and her ideas as they honestly didn't seem to like them. As a result, she refused to go shopping with them, which made them angry considering the fact nobody has ever told them no before. They tried again later, but once again had criticized her and commented on her friends and fashion. Since then, they have become Blythe's rivals instead and try to do anything they can to either ruin her plans or shut down the Littlest Pet Shop.
Unfortunately for them, they aren't very smart and as a result, their plans often fail or mess up. Whittany seems to be the smarter one of the two however, as she comes up with the majority of their plans, where as Brittany tends to space out on occasion. However, in "Door-Jammed" it is implied that Whittany may be more accepting of Blythe, but often treats her badly because Brittany strongly dislikes her. This may indicate that Brittany is actually the more malicious of the two, or may of been a ploy by Whittany to avoid an awkward situation with Blythe whilst remaining trapped in her bathroom. Britney is however sometimes shown to be quicker to insult or degrade someone before Whitney does, such as being the first of the twins to insult Sue in the department store in "Penny for your Laughs", and the first to approach Blythe on the street in "Door-Jammed", also managing to be the first to insult her during that confrontation. Both seem to get in trouble often, as during the first episode their dad reminds them to try not to get expelled from school. The two seem to be under the impression that many people like them and want to be their friends. Despite this, they don't appear to have any.
MCF Stories
They haven't so far appeared in the MCF series, but they do appear as not only Blythe's rival, but rivals to the Mystery Case Crusaders and the Rookie Mystery Case Files.
They make their debut in "RMCF: The Friend Game" where they become the Rookies' rivals by each act and because they're friends with Blythe. Jenny was their first because she turned down their offer. They befriend Amu and Coraline and manipulate them to be like them in costume and behavior until they realizes it's going too far when they're making fun of Annie. After Amu and Coraline stood them up and broke their friendship, they became rivals ever since.
- RMCF: The Friend Game(debut)
- MCF: Rock it Out
- Their last name comes is a pun the name of a food "biscuit".
- They are both voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent, who also voices Silver Spoon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
- The sisters' names and hair colors are reversible: Brittany (B - Black) has white hair, while Whittany (W - White) has black hair.
- In "Door-Jammed", Whittany seems saddened that Blythe doesn't want to be her friend and openly admits that it is just Brittany who dislikes Blythe.
- Brittany and Whittany seem to be more skilled at things when working together. Despite both of them failing math, Blythe discovers that they can solve complex problems in a matter of seconds. This is revealed to be because Whittany can understand the problems, but can't solve them, and Brittany can solve the problems, but can't understand them.
- Some fans or parents whom are Punks Rockers themselves may not be happy of Hasbro making Goths and Punks look like the bad guys. It may have something to do with Hasbro's rival Mattel's very popular Gothic dolls Monster High.
- Though they dress like Goths and Punks but their outfits are very similar with Scene fashion.
- The Biskit twins act and dress like the Werecat Twin Sisters from Monster High.

Molds, including black mold, can cause a variety of ailments, from upper respiratory infections to allergies. Depending on the type, mold can produce musty odors. In some cases, the human eye doesn't see the problem, and when it does, it can be difficult to determine the type of mold. If you suspect mold in your home or office, you may want to use a mold testing company.
Choose a Company That Provides Mold Testing Kits
Consider whether you want to work with a company that sells mold testing kits. With these kits, available at most home improvement stores, you follow the directions included from the manufacturer and then mail your kit to its mold testing lab.
Evaluate the types of tests a company offers. Some use tests analyze only one substance at a time, which means you need one test per substance. Others test all airborne substances at once. You may prefer to work with a company offering a variety of tests, so you can pick the option that bests fits your situation.
Avoid hidden fees. Some tests are free, but you have to pay shipping, handling and laboratory fees. Others are more expensive but include the total cost. You may want to choose a mold testing company that clearly outlines the costs involved and breaks it down by the cost of the kit, the cost for shipping and the cost for the lab work.
Think about the time frame for receiving your test results. Some companies offer a fast turnaround time. Other companies hold the sample and check it at regular intervals, usually at 24 hours, 48 hours and 64 hours, before sending results. This can give the sample time to develop, providing more accurate results.
Request a sample report. Choose a mold testing company that provides you with test results you can understand without researching biological names.
Hire a Mold Testing Company to Perform the Tests
Determine whether you might prefer to have a mold testing company come into your home or office to test for the mold. This can reduce error caused by incorrect collection methods.
Consider the type of testing performed by the company. Some companies have the equipment and technology to test for a variety of things from mold to bacteria to allergens. Others only test for mold. While it can cost more to hire a company, you often get a more comprehensive test of your indoor environment.
Find out what collection methods the testing company uses. If a professional only scrapes the mold and sends it off to the lab, you could have done this on your own with a mold testing kit.
Compare the cost of hiring mold testing company to the service offered. Ask what the price includes to ensure it covers the cost of lab work and any shipping or handling necessary to get the results. You may prefer to pay more for a company with better qualifications, recommendations or testing methods.
Evaluate the qualifications of the professional. Mold is often the result of a bigger issue, which means you may need a company that can identify the broader problem. Companies with experience in building construction, biology or HVAC systems may be able to help you solve the problem rather than simply identifying it.
Decide whether you want to hire a company that also performs mold removal. Sometimes you can get a discount on the second service, but you may want a second opinion before you pay for cleanup.
Ask for recommendations. When you pay the extra money to have a company test for mold, you want to ensure you've spent it on a reputable one. Recommendations from friends or family carry more weight in your decision process than client testimonials provided by the company.
