Hoseason comes to the Round-House and informs Alan and David that something is wrong. He asks them to come up, and points to several large rocks in the distance. Alan identifies them as the Torran Rocks, a series of large boulders that just out of the sea and pose a danger to ships. Alan is not sure, but he thinks there are fewer rocks closer to shore. Hoseason swings the ship closer to the shore, off the islet of Earraid, and just as the Covenant seems like it will make it through, the ship strikes a reef.
The men scramble to try and prepare a lifeboat, but David gets washed overboard. He grabs a piece of wood and hangs on until he is thrown up on the shore, thanking God that he is alive.
David finds himself on a small islet, cut off from the mainland by a small river. He tries to cross the river, but finds it is too wide and deep. He returns to the shore to get his piece of wood, planning to try and float across, but the yard has floated back out to sea.
David is now miserable. He begins eating raw shellfish. Sometimes he manages to keep them down, and other times they make him extremely sick. He is especially depressed because he can see a church and several houses on the mainland, but he knows he cannot cross the river.
The next day he sees, to his surprise, a red deer, which he realizes must have swum the river. He also discovers that he has lost all his money after the shipwreck. He sees some fisherman, and wildly hails them from the shore. But, to his shock, they only point and laugh at him.
The fishermen return later and, in broken English, reveal to him that the river gets very low at low tide. To his surprise and embarrassment, he finds he can practically hop across the river at low tide.
"To them, vengeance is a code of ethics that is acceptable."
This seems all wrong to me!
Stevenson takes a very sympathetic approach with the Highlanders. He wants us to LIKE them. He would not have considered vengeance an acceptable code of ethics, so he would not have meant for us to view the Highlanders as a vengeful people. There is something missing in this Sparknotes interpretation.
Considering the historical context, we know the Highlanders considered the English Whigs to be USURPERS. Therefore, they did not v... Read more→

From Philippa Gregory, a bestselling author, comes Three Sisters, Three Queens, a tremendous historical novel of epic proportions about Mary and Margaret, King Henry VIII's own sisters. Another vital character in the story is Katherine, and the 3 ladies played huge roles in the creation of the king's kingdom. When Katherine is introduced to the royal sisters for the first time as just a young girl, a bride, it takes Margaret and Mary one glimpse at her to know that the three of them are destined for greatness and that their love and support for each other will be unique and special.
They don't see each other as rivals or as enemies - they see each other as sisters. And, they soon become the rulers of one of the strongest and most influential empires in on planet Earth. However, as time passes, the friendship between the three girls starts to fade, and, driven by foolish obligations and their own ambitions, they turn from best friends to the fiercest enemies.
People and circumstances make them go head to head and fight for world domination. Katherine attacks Margaret's army and puts an end to her man's life. At the same time, her son becomes the #1 candidate for the throne when Katherine's own boy dies. Mary, in turn, steal's Margaret's potential new husband.
But, despite all the terrible things that they've done, the 3 sisters soon realize that the only thing that's real in their lives is the unique bond that they have and that it's stronger than any man, woman, or even their own ambitions. Three Sisters, Three Queens by Philippa Gregory is written in the genre of historical drama and captivates the reader with twists of plot, mesmerizing characters, a brilliant mash-up of facts and fiction and masterful storytelling.

How do we help people See Christ? As a church, we are committed to preaching Christ centered sermons and living lives that exalt Christ every day. This is because we believe that all the promises in scripture find their yes in the person and work of Jesus.
How do we help people Be In Community? As a church, we gather together in corporate worship and engage in relational discipleship through small groups. This is because we believe that making disciples is our preeminent task as a community of Christ followers. Biblically, the disciple making process happens in community. Thus, this process satisfies our need for belonging by engaging us in something bigger than ourselves.
How do we Care For Others? We move to the needs of others in our faith community, city, and the world. This is because in Christ, God moved toward our greatest need. Jesus satisfied our need for forgiveness and reconciliation with God through his death, burial, and resurrection. Therefore, we are moved by his compassion to the needs of others.
What is the Gospel?
"I am unashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" Romans1:16
The "good news" or gospel is summed up in the doing, dying, and rising of Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a sinless life in perfect obedience to the Father. He then took the punishment we deserved at the cross and died for us in our place as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Finally, he rose in powerful victory over sin and death.
We believe the gospel proclaimed from the scriptures changes lives, resurrects hearts, removes idolatry, and restores lives. Families are restored, neighborhoods are renewed, and whole cities transformed by its power. Thus, we will preach the gospel. We will counsel with the gospel. We will celebrate the gospel in song. We will remember the gospel by partaking of the Lord's Supper. We will learn to live in light of the gospel in every sphere of life. From our personal lives, to our homes, to our neighborhoods, to the schools and vocations we take in this city, to the ends of the earth, the gospel will be shared by this community in word and deed.

VENICE, Louisiana (Reuters) - The U.S. government is forced to rely on BP and the private oil sector to try to plug the gushing Gulf of Mexico well because only they have the technical know-how to stop the spill at those depths, the Coast Guard chief said on Sunday.
Admiral Thad Allen, who heads the oil spill response operation, also said he trusted BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward at a time when U.S. government and public criticism of the company and its executives over the spill is mounting daily.

Fostering, unlike adoption, can be for short or long periods of time and does not always involve the granting of a court order. Although it places a child with someone other than the child's birth parents, it is not necessarily a permanent arrangement.
Fostering can be a hugely positive experience for both the child and the foster carers, but it can be demanding. It is important you understand the commitment and process before you decide to apply for fostering,
The following are some of our most frequently asked questions when it comes to fostering.
Fostering is where a child goes to stay with someone other than their birth parents. This might be because the child's parents are unable to care for the child on a temporary basis, for example due to illness. The child often stays in contact with their birth parents during the foster placement, and sometimes returns to them at the end of the placement. In some cases the birth parents may not be able to take the child back so the child may go on to be adopted – either by the foster carer or by another party. We can also advise you on adoption issues.
You can apply to your local Social Work department to become a foster carer. As well as the local authority, you may also apply to a voluntary organisation which looks after children in order to become a foster carer. You will need to be assessed and approved by the local authority or voluntary organisation before a foster child will be able to come and stay with you. The process can take several months. Once you have been approved and a foster child has been identified, you will enter into a written agreement with the local authority about the placement.
As a foster carer you will have the day-to-day responsibility for the child but you will not automatically have the same rights in relation to the child as the child's birth parents. You will only have parental rights and responsibilities for the child if a court has granted these to you. The child's birth parents may or may not retain parental rights and responsibilities in respect of the child.
There are no restrictions on who can apply to be a foster carer.
You can apply to become a foster carer either on your own (as an individual) or as a couple (unmarried or married). Your sexual orientation does not matter.
There are no lower or upper age restrictions. The overriding and most important factor is that you feel that you would be able to care for a child. You should bear in mind that children in foster care often have a troubled background.
You will receive a Fostering Allowance from the local authority to cover the costs of looking after the child. The amount you will receive varies from area to area. The amount will also depend on the age and the needs of the child. You can find out more from Coram BAAF Adoption & Fostering Academy.
A foster placement will end when the child is returned to the birth parents or when the child becomes old enough to live on their own. If a foster placement is not working well then the local authority or agency may bring the placement to an end and the child may be moved to new foster carers. If it becomes evident during the placement that the child will not be returned to their birth parents, then the child might be adopted – either by the foster carer or by another party.
Contact our Family Law team for advice and information on any fostering concerns. We can provide you with all the information you need in respect of fostering and the relevant process, and any other options available to you. This will enable you to decide whether or not fostering is the right choice for you.
At Thorntons Family Law, we offer an initial free no-obligation chat over the phone to outline your options and the possible costs.
Depending on your case and circumstances, the next step is to come into one of our local offices to meet a Family Law Solicitor about your case and the way forward.
Call us on 03330 430 150 for a chat or contact us to book an appointment.
We are always clear to clients about the potential costs of any option and offer a range of payment options. In some cases we can offer clients a fixed price package. If we cannot offer a fixed price service, we charge based on the time we spend on your case, including meetings, emails and phone calls. Depending on your case and circumstances, you may also need to cover outlays, such as payments to independent experts. We will set out our fees and likely extra costs for you at the start and keep you informed of any possible changes as your case progresses.
Please note we do not offer Legal Aid for this service.

Kenyan farmers condemn WHO's plan to threaten 30-million jobs
Kenya Tobacco Farmers' Association joins global campaign to oppose restrictive measures
Thursday 13 September 2012, Nairobi, Kenya—The Kenya Tobacco Farmers' Association (KETOFA) representing 30,000 tobacco farmers, reacted to the publication of new proposals to regulate tobacco farming by the World Health Organization's (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), and vowed to rally the government to oppose the measures.
CEO of the Kenya Tobacco Farmers' Association (KETOFA) Joseph Wanguhu said the proposals would have disastrous consequences if they went through. "By suggesting governments phase out tobacco growing, these ideological recommendations put the jobs of more than 30-million farmers — including 30,000 in Kenya — at risk without providing them with any economically viable alternative crops," he said. "The tobacco sector also depends on other actors within the value chain so many more people will be negatively affected in a country where unemployment is already high. The WHO has consistently refused to listen to tobacco growers in drafting proposals that directly impact, not only Kenya's farmers, but also the whole value chain. By doing so, they act like a blind man driving a steamroller without paying any attention to the consequences of their folly."
The current proposals [1] go far beyond the FCTC's original mandate [2]. They are designed to force tobacco growers out of business by creating artificial restrictions on tobacco supply while failing to address the growing demand for the crop. This is being done through recommendations that seek to:
· Ban minimum support prices and leaf auctions.
· Restrict production by regulating the seasons in which tobacco may be grown.
· Reduce the area allocated for tobacco farming.
· Ban financial or technical support for tobacco farmers.
· Dismantle all bodies connecting tobacco growers with governments.
"Now is the time for governments to act and oppose these draconian measures," Wanguhu said. To rally governments worldwide in opposition to the measures, KETOFA has joined the International Tobacco Growers' Association (ITGA) in launching a global petition online and through the growers' associations. The petition calls on government leaders in Kenya to "reject irrational and destructive proposals in favour of a more realistic approach that will help tobacco farmers adapt if and when the demand for tobacco evolves".
The petition is available online at http://protectfarmers.tobaccoleaf.org/join-our-fight.aspx

I have a site where the member pays a 1time fee for a service on my website. I would like to give away prizes totally over $5,000, this would be done randomly.
I want to limit this to Canada and the US only.
I am meeting with my lawyer soon, but as I wait I am trying to gather as much info as possible.
Thanks for your thoughts,

I think you have to check with individual state laws, like for example for contests I understand states like Washington are a problem.
December 10th, 2005, 08:31 PM #3
Definitely iron it out with a lawyer. In many states, if somebody has to make a purchase in order to be eligible to win something, it is considered a lottery - usually illegal.
December 10th, 2005, 10:08 PM #4
Definitely talk to a lawyer. You may need to exclude some states, register in some states, and meet other requirements in other states. The requirements are pretty stringent, especially if you're talking about over $5000 in total prizes.
I've thought about doing that several times in the past, but every time I start looking into the requirements, I talk myself out of it.

We used to run contests giving away travel packages at my last company. If memory serves we were not allowed to run the contest ourselves and always contracted the contest to a third-pary. They mainly handled hosting the sign-up page, the database and drawing. This reduced our liability and ensured a fair drawing. They'll also work out which states/countries the drawing is legal in.
I'll go through some old files to see if I can locate the companies we used. Or, you can always read the t&c's of any other contest for companies. The cost was fairly inexpensive as I recall.

well keep in mind the user has paid me a small fee in exchange for a service on my website. I want to randomly give away a prize to someone who is a member of the site, like a car.

If a lottery is a problem, have it as a stupidly simple competition such as:
What colour is snow?
A/ white
B/ black
C/ green

It doesn't necessarily have to be administrated by a third party, but a third party that specializes in this kind of stuff would be familiar with all the laws and requirements.

Ok. I can make the prize giveaway free for everyone, but everytime someone uses my service they get an extra vote cast in their name.
What are your thoughts on this.
December 15th, 2005, 11:24 AM #11
I'm not really sure. It would be best to talk with a lawyer about how best to do it.
I always try to picture how Publisher's Clearing House does things when I'm thinking about sweepstakes, because they're one of the biggest sweepstakes out there. If they're doing it a certain way, there's a reason. And with them, you don't get an extra entry for buying something.
On the other hand, the McDonalds Monopoly promotion (another of the largest sweepstakes) does give you an extra entry for buying things. You can enter via mail or by buying certain products.
December 15th, 2005, 12:30 PM #12
just a thought:
can you not word it so that it reads.
free draw to registered members.
we give away free creams on our forum.
but you dont have to buy anything,
so thats another story.
December 15th, 2005, 01:52 PM #13
No matter how you word it, you still have to comply with state laws in every state and country that you're accepting entries from.
I just did a little searching. You might find some of these links helpful:
Another tidbit I caught on one of the sites was that a few states requirement bonds if the combined prize value is over $500 (RI) or $5000 (FL and NY).
December 15th, 2005, 01:56 PM #14
I'll chime in with what I know about contests and "making the prize giveaway free for everyone, but everytime someone uses the service they get an extra vote cast in their name" ... that would be 100% illegal. You cannot give anyone any added benefit by either an action, or purchase in a lottery pick/drawing in MANY U.S States.
The laws of individual States can be a nightmare depending on eactly what the T&C's are, as well as the type of prize, and the actual dollar amount value of the prizes in some States. There are also requirements on allowing submissions by mail, as well as how you must post odds of winning, and how to inform entrees of the actual winner(s) of the contests/drawings.
Our site did run contests in the past, but we no longer do. The laws are so thick in this area that it just isn't worth it for me. I would STRONGLY sugggest legal council with an attorney, as well as an outside 3rd party contest agent manager to handle the legal requirements.

If you're a loyal Once Upon a Time fan, you've probably been scratching your head recently, wondering why the second half of the ABC series will be introducing three new villains?
Once Upon a Time is known for usually only introducing one villain for each half of a season. This time, for the second half of season 4, Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit), Maleficent (Kristin Bauer Van Straten), and Ursula (Merrin Dungey), will be joining forces with Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) to get their happily-ever-afters.
But, why three? Entertainment Weekly asked executive producer, Adam Horowitz, if it was their way of getting away "from that tried-and-true formula." Horowitz said:
"Yeah. We certainly don't want to repeat ourselves. What we want to do is hopefully tell new stories for our characters. These villains were very interesting to us, not just because of who they were as villains, but because of the possibilities we saw of how they could connect to our characters and what they could reveal about our characters. What does their arrival mean for Regina? What does their arrival mean for Emma? What does it mean for Snow and Charming? We have some answers to those questions and we're very excited about it."
It will be interesting to see how the three new villains will effect each character, especially considering how they all left off at the end of the Frozen story arc during the first half of season 4. Don't forget that Belle (Emilie de Ravin) was almost killed by the Queens of Darkness and was saved at the last moment by her future love interest, Rumpelstiltskin. I doubt she'll be too happy to find out that the man she banished from the town is now working with the women who tried to kill her.
Most intriguing, however, will likely be Regina (Lana Parrilla), who sacrificed her true love to save a life. Now, she's more determined than ever to find her happy ending, but how will she react when she finds out that Rumpel and three new villains are on the same quest as her?
Once Upon a Time will return on Sunday, March 1 at 8PM EST on ABC.

Ok, here we go again, but I need some help. I have never bought a SIM card in France but plan to buy an Orange the day my teenage granddaughter and I arrive in Paris. We leave the next day for a week in ISLS. Question: will the transaction at the Orange store (either blvd. St-Michel or St-Germain) "most likely" not take up a lot of time? With such a short time in Paris I hate to spend over an hour waiting in line to buy a SIM. The alternative would be just to get the AT&T international plan here at home, but calls are still expensive, and I know I will be making calls within France for cabs, restaurants, etc., since we are staying in an apt., not a hotel in L'Isle.
Any experiences at Orange stores in Paris?
Thank so much for revisiting the cell phone question yet again!

Getting Orange SIM in Paris
Ok, here we go again, but I need some help. I have never bought a SIM card in France but plan to buy an Orange the day my teenage granddaughter and I arrive in Paris. We leave the next day for a week in ISLS. Question: will the transaction at the Orange store (either blvd. St-Michel or St-Germain) "most likely" not take up a lot of time?

I doubt it will take an hour. But depending on the exact phone, it may take longer to set up. Last year, when I bought SIM cards in Montenegro and Bosnia, my phone's data did not automatically work and it took the agent some time to set up the phone - maybe 10 minutes just for that. But it was an older phone. If your granddaughter's phone is a new phone it may be easier.
Just make sure the phone works completely - voice and data - before leaving the store.
If you want to save money on phone calls, look into the Google Hangouts Dialer app: FREE phone calls home to the US (even landlines) and cheap calls within Europe (you have to buy credit like $10 at once I think). You can use Hangouts Dialer on WiFi and not have any SIM card or international plan and still make calls. I used Hangouts Dialer numerous times to make long calls home from Europe to the US for free; quality was generally good (occasionally I'd fade out and have to repeat myself but rarely). I think Google charges 6 cents/minute for calls to France.

Thanks so much; my iPhone is a new one, 6S, so maybe it won't be too involved to get it set up.
And also thanks for the advice for making sure it works before I leave the store!

Not sure if iPhones are locked, but that's one more thing to make sure of before you go! Someone else here can probably chime in or you can check with AT&T.

Since I bought it at Apple, not at AT&T, Apple says it is unlocked. Thanks for the reminder.

We bought a SIM card in Paris at the Orange store across the street from the ST. Paul Metro station last winter. In the middle of the afternoon, there were few customers in the store so we did not wait long. They were very helpful -- installed the card and checked it out for us.
Report Abuse
Thanks; hope my experience goes as smoothly!
Report Abuse
It depends on the time of day you go to the store. I'd advise not attempting to go when the store opens, or from noon until 14h, and again just before closing time.
The agents will install your SIM, unlock it and check to make certain it works before you leave the store.
The problems arise when people haven't done research into the plans they want - Mobicarte, etc. You can check out the available plans online before you visit the store.

I bought an Orange SIM in Reims last summer. There was a maitre'd type person near the entrance who took our particulars. We waited for 20 minutes or so. Once we sat down with the clerk it took maybe 5 minutes for him to set up the SIM, collect payment and send us on our way.

Thanks, all; great advice, duly noted! Scant days until I give this a try!

Will there not be a phone in the apartment? Every place we've rented over the years has had broadband phone/internet/TV service, with free calls to most countries including the USA. You might not need a Euro mobile at all, and can sign up for the AT&T International plan as a backup.
We usually add international service to our phones that covers only the time we'll be traveling; we're billed a few dollars for the added "service" and then 99¢ a minute if we make a call. We rarely use the phone when traveling for voice transmissions anyway; texting is the way to go.

It's always nice to have a mobile phone with you these days, even if just for the data. I'll never use a paper map again to navigate in Europe if I can help it - Google Maps on a phone saved me an enormous amount of time on my last trip finding my way around. If you can get a local SIM cheaply, why not?
And with free/cheap calls with Google Hangouts, I can't imagine needing to pay 99 cents/minute for calls anywhere anymore.

No, apartment does not have a phone; we experienced same thing 2 years ago. I guess most people assume that everyone has cell phones today. And if we are out and need a taxi from a train station, eg, I need to have a phone. Not having a car this trip so depending upon public transportation.
I know that in the past we had free calling from the landline phones in the rentals but seems like that's changing.

Interesting, grandmere -- I thought most places had the phone service as part of a package deal including internet and television. I guess some folks don't bundle them all together! Like us at home -- phone and internet, but no television service except over-the-air.
On one of our first trips, we stopped in an Orange store and got a basic phone with service; I think we bought a plan that gave us a certain number of minutes over a 30-day period, or maybe 6 months. We never did figure out how to complete a call successfully; good thing we didn't actually need to. Still have the phone.

Buying the Orange Holiday Europe SIM card for 39 euros was easily accomplished, and it worked well for me. I was glad to have it as I did use for taxis, calling apartment owner, French friends, etc. We used Viber for communicating with family back home.
However, the day after I bought the SIM card, I had a strange charge on my credit card, mentioning something about an iPhone; I stopped back in Orange the next morning, and they said it had nothing to do with them. It was for 32 euros; I will look into this further when I get my cc bill in a few days.
We had tv and internet in the apartment in L'Isle, but there was no landline phone.

Glad to hear you were able to get the SIM for your phone. But 39 Euros sounds quite expensive to me, unless it were for a lot of credit over more than a month's use. By comparison, when I visited Bosnia and Montenegro last year, I bought a SIM in each country: about $3 USD for the SIM in Bosnia and 5 Euros for the one in Montenegro (data only). Yes, I know things are more expensive in France in general, but I'd skip the SIM for 39 Euros myself or look for something a lot cheaper.

The Orange Holiday package IS expensive. There are other, cheaper options, such as
But it seems the OP was happy with the package and accomplished what she needed to.
And apart from Orange, there are cheaper options with SFR, Bouyges, FREE, and others.
But what the OP chose may just be the simplest deal for travelers in France for short periods.
Report Abuse
I'm not saying the OP made a poor choice - but, remember, another choice was the AT&T international plan. Would that really have cost 39 Euros for a short period of use and a few phone calls? Not so sure.
Many travelers who are making this same kind of choice ("Should I get a local SIM or use my carrier's international plan or live with WiFI?") will read threads like this, and that's why I wanted to point out that 39 Euros for a local SIM for short-term use is probably on the expensive end of the scale for buying a local SIM.
A local SIM does have one benefit: a local number that locals can text or phone you on. They may balk at calling a USA phone number to confirm a hotel reservation or something. Not everyone needs this, though.
Report Abuse
Probably was on expensive end, but as someone said, it worked for me, and simple was the operative word of the day!
Report Abuse
Many phone operators have a SIM package targeted at overseas visitors, with a trade-off of simplicity (esp if you aren't fluent in the local language) over value for money. Within EU, with abolishment of roaming charges next year and with many contracts that allow cheap or free use throughout EU, such a packaged deal is only for non-EU visitors. As stated, often getting a basic local SIM deal with data add-on works out cheaper, though France is generally an expensive country for pay-as-you-go mobile use.

Andrew I think iPhones don't use SIM cards? I somewhat remember a Verizon guy saying that. Ive mentioned before you can turn on roaming and are charged a small fee per call. OR can simply have Verizon institute a $10 per day flat rate for each day you use service. This gives you Internet and cell phone service. Its much easier to do than tracking down SIM cards, unlocking locked phones, etc.
Report Abuse
Your iPhone has a Verizon SIM in it now. If you wanted to use your iPhone in Europe, you'd remove the Verizon SIM and replace it with the one you bought in Europe.
Here are some Verizon instructions for removing your iPhone's SIM, if you are curious:
Verizon uses CDMA technology in the US. GSM is the technology used in Europe but also used by T-Mobile an AT&T in the US. GSM phones have had SIM cards for a long time, maybe always. That's how they were designed to work - the SIM card lets you change their identity. CDMA traditionally does use a SIM card, so older CDMA phones never had SIM cards. The newer CDMA smart phones do have SIM cards, probably so you can use your Verizon phone on GSM networks in Europe, for example.

According to what the AT&T (my provider) guy told me before my trip, my iPhone was not locked since I had bought it at Apple, not at their store. Getting the Orange SIM was a very simple process, if not the least expensive.(The clerk used a paper clip to get my SIM out.) Although, the AT&T international plan is not cheap either and still costs .99/minute for calls; for me, buying the Orange SIM was the better choice. And my SIL used another paper clip upon my return to reinstall my "American" SIM.

I am passionate about my teaching career and I love facilitating in the modern classroom. The following is a one page synopsis of my teaching philosophy which I hope gives you some insight into why I teach, how I teach, what I teach and how I learn and seek to improve.
Students often ask me why I teach and why I'm not in industry seeking greater financial rewards. In short, I get a great deal of personal satisfaction from teaching. I enjoy equipping students with the contemporary marketing tools and techniques that have proven to be successful in the commercial world. I enjoy learning from my students as much as I hope they enjoy learning from me. I also find that the personal gain from teaching stretches far beyond the confines and dates of a classroom experience. The real gift of being an instructor is the message you get from a former student reminding you that you have made a difference in their professional life, that they still make use of class materials and that they remember their experience.
I believe that successful instruction is underpinned by three core features and these relate to how I teach. The first involves a focus on experiential learning and the application of concepts in real world situations. All of my classes involve pro-bono consultancy work with local organizations facing real issues. Students come to class equipped with a great deal of creativity. Having them work with local business unlocks this with multiple positive outcomes. I find that students become keener enquirers; they work harder to solve practical problems, and walk away with a knowledge of marketing that stays with them long after class has ended. They learn not only from me, but from each other and from the client. Students sitting my classes will also write research papers which focus on the application of the theory to contemporary marketing situations. They are encouraged to engage in independent primary and secondary research which also helps them to develop additional skills necessary to succeed in their future careers. I also strive to make use of contemporary cases, such as the digital music industry or local issues such as the marketing of Kodak's new logo. My aim is to ensure every student leaves class with a portfolio of work that they can be proud of, real world experience to draw from and of course references from their clients.
A second feature of my instruction methods is an acknowledgement of the importance of social learning environments. I firmly believe that creating vibrant, supportive and most importantly fun spaces for students to learn, is important. I encourage active engagement, open and honest communication, critical and supportive feedback on performance and extensive use of technology in supporting this environment (through the use of MyCourses, streaming support lectures and communications venues that stretch beyond the classroom including instant messenger and email). I also firmly believe that learning should be fun! Students work harder and longer when they're having fun. Fun environments create memorable experiences in the classroom, which in turn creates lasting knowledge of the concepts of class. I also find that fun environments reduce barriers to effective learning situations.
Effective feedback constitutes the third and final feature of my teaching. I strongly encourage students to provide feedback on others students' performances. Every presentation a student makes is supported with documented feedback from others, how they've improved and how they might continue to improve. This represents an important tangible benefit of my classes, the ability to communicate effectively with your audience. I also strive to provide my students with comprehensive feedback, on their homeworks, their research papers and their consultancy projects and presentations. Throughout the life of my class, students will receive over four pages of written feedback, always starting with what I commend in their efforts, and how they might improve their performance or their argument. This makes a real difference to the students' perceptions of their learning experience. If they see me working hard for them, they work hard for class and themselves. I also encourage students to discuss their feedback with me, and how they will implement improvements in future submissions (even if these are for other professors).
My approach to teaching encourages students to accept ambiguity, just as they will have to endure in the real world. I hope not just to provide them with answers, but equip them with the skills to ask the right questions and the ability to research and identify effective answers. My philosophy also comes with different views on the roles of the professor and the student. I express my belief that I am a facilitator, not an expert. Similarly I believe that students are not recipients of knowledge but contributors in the process. As such I believe this expands the generation of knowledge and enhances the learning experience for everyone. Despite being a self confessed grade chaser in my own pre-doctoral academic career I strongly encourage students to look beyond the grade. The purpose of instruction is in gaining an education, an ability to apply the concepts in the real world, not obtaining that elusive A. I realize that this is often hard for students to accept and this is why I focus my attentions on their potential when giving them personalized feedback. Identifying what students could do, rather than commenting on what they have done seems to act as an excellent motivator.
Finally, I place a great deal of emphasis on my ability to learn from my students. I seek out opportunities to understand what has worked well and why, and what might be improved and why. I seek feedback in class throughout the eleven week period, I encourage anonymous feedback where appropriate in our online community. This gives students the opportunity to reflect on others' comments and the outcome is that I have a greater personal understanding of how class is progressing. I also place a great deal of emphasis on the reading and understanding of the qualitative formal feedback I receive from end of class evaluations. These comments, together with my own reflections that are taken from an ongoing teaching log are used to improve instruction. I also have what I believe to be an exciting research track that examines the conceptions of business student's positive learning experiences. This has confirmed my understanding of the importance of social learning environments, comprehensive feedback systems, and the importance of real world application. I am also researching students' perceptions of problem-based learning techniques (such as consultancy projects) with a view to better understanding the issues surrounding experiential learning processes. As a result of this I intend on improving my own methods and sharing my research with the wider academic community through peer reviewed publication. This leads me onto my last conviction. In modern academic environments increasing emphasis is placed on research and publication. I believe that my first and most important charge is to be effective with my students. Whilst my head tells me I must be a successful publisher, my heart belongs firmly in the classroom and I hope this enthusiasm comes across to my students.

Queen Elizabeth works on as Prince Philip awaits surgery
The 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to the private London Clinic on Thursday evening for what Buckingham Palace said was a planned operation under general anaesthetic.
It was business as usual for the 87-year-old Queen, however, who went ahead with a visit to the BBC's new headquarters just a few streets away from where her husband was being treated. It is the fourth time in two years that Philip has been hospitalised and follows 'an abdominal investigation that took place last week', a palace spokeswoman said.
The duke, who has been married to the queen for 65 years, is expected to stay in hospital for up to two weeks. The spokeswoman insisted however that Philip was 'in good health', saying he had walked into the clinic on Harley Street 'unaided' after being driven there. Although he missed a gala event on Monday, the duke had a full diary of engagements this week and appeared in good spirits as he attended a garden party just hours before going into hospital.

Live Commentary
Aston Villa never really threatened the Tottenham goal, and seemed resigned to sitting back and letting Spurs attack them but the class of Tottenham's midfield showed and they cracked the defence with two goals from Adebayor.
The referee blows the whistle and Tottenham wrap up an easy three points today to see them go into thrid in the table.
90' + 1'Sandro's first touch of the game is an interception in the middle of the park, his touch is heavy but it finds Adebayor who passes across the field to Defoe, the strikers shot isn't great though and ends up in the crowd.
90'SubstitutionLuka Modric Sandro
86'SubstitutionChris Herd Fabian Delph
85'Yellow Card Stilian Petrov
Bale makes a run down the right, and dummies Warnock to cut inside, just before he enter the box he is bought down by Petrov with a cynical challenge. He recieves a yellow card for his foul. Petrov reads Modric's mind as he intercepts a pass destined for Assou-ekotto on the edge of the box.
83'Assou-ekotto is found by Bale on the left and cuts inside to try and pass the ball into the middle but Dunne gets in the way, and it defelcts wide. Nothing comes of the corner.
80'Modric battles to win the ball, he wins the ball but Heskey is a yard off the pace and brings him down just in range for a shot, but Modric reasons to swing the ball in. The ball is easily cleared by Bannan.
79'Modric gets away from his marker and fires in a low cross from the right, Given gets down to stop the ball put puts it into the danger area. Defoe finds himself with the ball but cant get it from under himself, he eventually shifts it to Adebayor who fires it from close range, but is blocked by Given with a top double save.
75'Agbonlahor fires in a low cross from deep into the six yard box, luckily Friedel is the first one to the ball but all it needed was a touch on the way in.
69'SubstitutionRafael van der Vaart Jermain Defoe
Van der Vaart leaves the field for Defoe, the Dutchman will be happy with his shift but Redknapp brings him off early as he often does.
69'Bale runs out of options as he is confronted with most of the Villa side on the edge of the box, he gets the ball from under his feet and releases a good shot but Given is his equal.
65'Bale plays a wonderful ball from the half way line, cutting out 4 or 5 Villa defenders and finds Van der Vaart behind the defensive line. The linesman's flag is up though, and he was just offside.
63'SubstitutionCarlos Cuéllar Barry Bannan
61'Bale makes yet another storming run, this time down the middle of the park, he's closed down as he nears the box but he plays it to his left to Adebayor. He shapes to curl it into the bottom right hand corner but he is just off target.
60'Villa are really playing deep now, Heskey is almost playing at left-back at the minute. This is allowing Tottenham to keep the ball and are slowly working away at their defence
58'Van der Vaart plays a quick corner to Walker on the edge of the box, he touches it to the side and rifles a shot towards goal. Its close but just wide of the goal.
56'Adebayor squares it to Van der Vaart as Spurs counter, the Dutchman attempts to put through Lennon on his first touch but it has way to much power and Lennon has no chance of catching it, not even with his pace.
53'Adebayor is on for his hat-trick as he beats the offdside trap to get on the end of a Modric through ball, he tries to put it round Given but it is wide of the right hand post.
51'Hutton gets fouled by Assou-ekotto as he just manages to touch it past the Tottenham defender. Warnock lofts in a ball but it finds no Villa players and Friedel collects at the back post.
49'Lennon tries a back heel in his own half and it is intercepted. Villa cross the ball in and King can only head it out for a corner. The corner goes to the far post but is headed wide by Bent.
47'Aston Villa create an early chance, as Herd puts in a good cross to Bent. The striker rises above Kaboul to head the ball down towards floor, but its within Friedel's reach and he collects with relative ease.
46'Tottenham get the game back underway. McLeish chooses not to make any changes at the break, but if things carry on like the first half I wouldn't be surprised to see N'zogbia any time soon.
The quality of Tottenham in the final third with Van der Vaart, Bale, Lennon and Modric all supplying Adebayor is causing the Villa defence no end of problems, and I do not think this will change in the second half.
The reaction from Liam Twomey live at the game: Half time at White Hart Lane, and while Harry Redknapp has remained largely seated in the dugout during the opening half, he will have to be satisfied with his side's display so far. Villa have been battered into submission thanks to the quality of Lennon and Bale's crossing from the flanks, and it will take a vast improvement if McLeish's men are to get back into this after the break.
The referee brings the first half to an end, Tottenham are well deserving of their lead tonight. Aston Villa have looked to defend deep and attack on the counter, but this tactic is not paying dividends at all. McLeish really needs a different approach if they are to get anything out of this game.
44'Yellow Card Chris Herd
Chris Herd upends Bale close to the byline. Van der Vaart switches the free kick to Parker on the right wing who plays it to Bale, who shoots into the crowded box. The shot comes straight back out to Modric, but his effort doesn't trouble Given and it goes out for a goal kick.
40'Assist Gareth Bale
40'Goal Emmanuel Adebayor
Adebayor gets a second! Bale swings a great ball into the near post, and as Hutton slides in to block the ball he puts it past Given and into the feet of Adebayor who taps home from a yard out. 2-0.
39'Modric plays a good ball over the defence to Bale who is making a run down the middle of the park, but a good touch evades the Welshman and the ball goes to close to Given who collects.
37'Walker and Heskey both go up for a free ball, but Heskey's size overpowers Walker he seemed to land awkwardly, but after a little treatment he looks fine and is ready to rejoin the action.
35'Dunne brings down Van der Vaart midway in his own half and gives away a freekick. Van der Vaart's attempted cross is intercepted. As Villa look to break Kaboul comes storming from the Villa box to catch up with Agbonlahor and make the tackle, great pace from the defender.
30'Heskey gets the ball on the left on side of the box, but is seemingly caught in two minds whether to supply Bent or shoot himself, and its shows in his poor attempt to do either.
29'Adebayor collects yet another long ball from Assou-ekotto, he holds it up well and plays a ball through to Van der Vaart who is open. He tries a chip over Given but puts to much on it and it sails over the bar
28'Tottenham are definitely in the ascendency here, with Aston Villa camped in their half, it doesn't seem a wise tactic as Tottenham have shown they can find ways through the packed box.
26'Van der Vaart shows off his quality again as he curls in a beautiful cross from deep on the left straight into Adebayor. The Togo striker is watching it as it drops but mistimes his volley and GIven collects gratefully.
23'Van der Vaart plays a short corner to Lennon, who gives it back to the Dutchman who loops around him he fires a confident shot at goal, but unfortunately the ball goes straight into the side netting.
22'And we can again here from our man at the game: Aston Villa are rocking after that Adebayor strike, and Alex McLeish looks a tortured man on the edge of his technical area, frequently barking instructions to his struggling players. Villa would do well to go in at the interval trailing by just one goal, but in the lively movement of Bent and Agbonlahor up front they have some cause for optimism.
19'Warnock fires a long through ball into Agbonlahor who gets the run on Kaboul, but the defender manages to get a foot to the ball and put it out for a corner. The corner is fired into the near post but it comes off of Heskey's head and goes high and wide.
14'Assist Gareth Bale
14'Goal Emmanuel Adebayor
Goal!!! Adebayor was in need of a goal and he got one. Another corner is again is cleared to the edge of the box, and Van der Vaart chips in a ball to the unmarked Adebayor who pulls off an overhead kick, to slot the ball to the right of Shay Given.
13'An Adebayor run is stopped by Dunne who puts it out for a corner. The resultant corner is cleared only to Kaboul who volleys it in to the box, but its deflected wide.
12'A long ball to Lennon on the right wing from Assou-ekotto causes trouble for the VIlla defence, as Lennon jinks his way past Warnock. He finds the head of Adebayor with a good cross, but the striker fails to hit the target as he heads across Given.
9'Ledley King makes a poor touch whilst under no pressure, and Agbonlahor sees that as a challenge and looks to charge down the loose ball but King recovers just in time to play it to Assou-ekotto.
8'A long ball up to Heskey is helped on by the forward with a back heel in the air, but Hutton who is attempting to get on the end of the through ball is caught offside.
4'Bale makes a trademark run down the left wing leaving Hutton in his wake, but his cross finds Cuellar before Adebayor. The ball is cleared but Lennon retains possession on the half way line and plays it into Van der Vaart who turns well but his pass isn't great and it dribbles into Given's path.
2'Great start from Villa who work it into the right corner of the Tottenham half. Petrov swings in a great cross to Heskey at the back post but Kyle Walker does enough to put him off and the ball is cleared.
1'And Aston Villa get the game under way here at White Hart Lane, with five defenders on the pitch Aston Villa maybe taking a negative approach to the game, but it will be interesting to see how McLeish's formation pans out.
We can hear from our own Liam Twomey who is live from White Hart Lane tonight: We're moments away from kickoff here at White Hart Lane, and the big screen just showed highlights of the hosts' hard-fought victory over Fulham a fortnight ago. Harry Redknapp, perhaps more than most after recent events, will be hoping tonight proves to be a rather less stressful experience…
Tottenham are currently sitting top of the table in goals conceded since the start the Premier League, leaking 995 goals in the 744 games they've played. With Villa positioned 3rd with 110 less goals than Spurs.
Tottenham will be buoyed by the return to health of the manager Harry Redknapp tonight, as he returns to the dugout after missing the match against Fulham before the international break.
This is one of Tottenham's two games in hand on most of the league and if they pick up six points from this game and the postponed match against Everton they will only be one point behind second place Manchester United.

Not to Be a Total Dork, But…
If you know who he is without Googling, you were probably a bit of a dork at one time in your life.
If you don't know, you're probably better off just moving along. Nothing to see here.
Please Note: I have so had sex before.
And not just with myself.
Thank you very much.
Update: Wow, reading some of the eulogies in various comments around the blogosphere, might I suggest that some of you current dorks realize that (a) it's just a game and that (b) women are really better than any game?

Having been on my fair share of road trips, most of them where I was the only adult and driver, and the rest of the travelers were my kids, I have learned a few things about getting the car ready for the road. Here are my go-to tips and suggestions for Road Trip Ready Car Organizing:
Get the Car Ready
Getting the car road trip ready takes a little planning and organizing, but investing a little time upfront will save you hassle, frustration, and mess later.
Clean it out
Starting your trip out with a clean car is the best plan, you will know where everything is, and not be contending with existing crumbs and garbage, or hauling excess stuff.
Tune it up
Get the oil changed, check/rotate the tires, and make sure your car is road worthy and ready.
Have a plan
Plan your route, know your basic time frame, where you will stay, what you want to do, expected expenses, where to fuel up, etc. A good plan that you deviate from is better than no plan at all. After planning your route, screen shot your directions just in case you lose Wi-Fi.
Use services like Fuel My Route and Gas Calculators to estimate your fuel expenses and find the cheapest places to gas up.
What to pack
Emergency kit
Include flash lights, Road Side Service phone #, water, snacks, flares, and something to keep kids occupied. You never know how long you will be stuck on the side of the road waiting for a repair.
An essential to any road trip. Healthy or not is up to you, but don't hit the road without a few snacks!
The journey is part of the fun, but long hours in the car can be tedious, especially when traveling with kids, so don't forget to pack some fun new things for them to play with, some movies, a great road trip playlist, silly games, or whatever will keep you entertained.
Your stuff
We pack essentials like undies, socks, pjs, toothbrushes etc. but we also take along things like sand toys, and hiking shoes for those unplanned adventures. Head lamps are fun for night time hikes. Sidewalk chalk can keep kids entertained at a rest stop.
Keep The Car Clean
Trash can
Cereal container trash cans are the best. They keep the trash contained, and are easy to swap out at stops. No spills, no smells, no problems.
Dryer sheet air fresheners
Even if you start out smelling great, the car can get really stinky a few days in, keep it fresh with dryer sheets.
Regular clean outs
Make a habit of doing a quick scan of the car and emptying trash at each stop along the way.
Wet wipes
Keep them on hand, they are great for cleaning up messes, wiping sticky hands, and cleaning up disasters along the way.
Other Tips
Make it easy to access the things you will need every night and cut down on the loading and unloading time. Do you really want to spend half your trip hauling things to and from your car? Didn't think so.
Fill an Adventure Ready Car Organizer for quick grab and go options. This is great for snacks, and items like diapers, wipes, sunscreen, bug spray, a mini first-aid kit, and other items you use regularly. They also make a great storage place for chargers, toys, and other things you want to keep up off seats and car floors.
Check out these 29 Simple Road Trip Hacks found on Buzz Feed.
Enjoy that road trip!

The group recently started its first competition, which is being held in a bunch of different games cafes and locations around the Klang Valley. The qualifiers, which are ongoing, will enable the finalists in a winner-takes-all type of "grand finals." Yeah, show 'em who's the Power Grid boss! The game has players scrambling to be the most efficient and best power producer, in specific countries and settings. Who says boardgames has to be all about money or war? This weekend, the action moves to Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, as Family Boardgame Station hosts qualifier number three. Free up your Sunday (March 27) as the power battles resume then! Wondered how the first sessions went?

May 5th, 2015, 10:45 AM #1How do you deal with Seasonality?
So summer is almost here, school's almost out, and traffic for some can get much lower. Seasonality is something that affects nearly every merchant program and affiliate site alike. What are your favorite strategies to maintain sales volume when traffic decreases due to seasonality?
May 5th, 2015, 01:12 PM #2
N/M, sorry.

Okay, I'll start. Most of the merchants I manage know what sells best during the summer. We'll share some of this info with affiliates via emails, but if you want more info or a wider range of products, reach out to the affiliate manager or OPM and ask what's best to promote in the upcoming months. Sometimes you'd never guess what the hot products are - I know I've been surprised more than once! Those products are a good reason for a blog post, category feature, or perhaps inclusion in an email. The merchants most likely have years of data, so take advantage of it for sure!
Thanks From:

I spend this time focusing on recruiting more affiliates into the program. Good comment about asking what sells best this time of year.

Reno Police investigating Officer Involved Shooting of homicide suspect
Earlier in the evening of 13 June 2014, an attempt to locate was broadcast to surrounding northern Nevada Law Enforcement agencies of a possible homicide suspect who was driving a white Jeep Cherokee. The vehicle was seen fleeing the scene of a homicide that had occurred in Washoe Valley and that case is currently being investigated by the Washoe County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies from the Carson City Sheriff's Office, and the Nevada Highway Patrol located the vehicle in the Carson City area, and a vehicle pursuit ensued when the suspect vehicle failed to yield for the Officers. The pursuit continued east of Carson City on Highway 50 which went through several other law enforcement jurisdictions to include Lyon County, Fallon Police and Churchill County. Deputies from those agencies also joined in the pursuit. The suspect entered the Sand Mountain Recreational Area, and fired several shots at Officers who then returned fire at the suspect.
The suspect suffered several gunshot injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. His identification is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. There were no injuries to any of the Officers involved.
Four Deputies from the Carson City Sheriff's Office and three Troopers with the Nevada Highway Patrol were involved in the shooting and have been placed on routine paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation. This is a routine and normal occurrence in any case where an Officer/Deputy has discharged a firearm and one or more bullets strike a human being. The same practice is followed in virtually every jurisdiction in the United States.
Pursuant to the Washoe County OIS Protocol, the OIS investigation is being conducted by multiple local law enforcement agencies, with detectives from the Reno Police Department in the lead.
When the preliminary investigation is complete it will be submitted to the Churchill County District Attorney's Office for an initial determination as to whether the shooting was justified under Nevada Law.
In order to ensure the fairness and integrity of the investigation no further media comment will be made by police personnel. Upon completion of the preliminary review further information will be released, as well as a final report, after the investigation and final review are complete.
The Reno Police Department is asking the public for assistance in locating any witnesses to the pursuit who may have been driving on Highway 50 at the time of the pursuit, and who may have observed the suspects driving behavior. Anyone with information is asked to please contact the Reno Police Department at (775) 334-2175 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.

Farah Abdul, email@example.com
Amy Piedalue, email@example.com
Neelam Khaki, Peaceful Families Taskforce Program Coordinator, firstname.lastname@example.com, 206-467-997
About the PFT Research Project Team:
The project leads are Sarah Rizvi, Farah Abdul, and Amy Piedalue. The current PFT Coordinator, Neelam Khaki, provides vital support to this project, in addition to running the Peaceful Families Taskforce, which includes working closely with local masjid communities. In addition, Nuha Elkugia joined the team as an interviewer and has also been closely involved with analyzing interviews and preparing the online survey.
The research leads manage the overall project, including developing the research design and questions, supervising the research team, working directly with community collaborators to develop project values and research goals, and guiding the progress of the project in alignment with these values and goals.
Sarah Rizvi is a former API Chaya Community Advocate, Supervisor for the Peaceful Families Taskforce, and most recently, the director of API Chaya from 2013-2015. She has worked with Chaya/API Chaya since 2003, including developing and leading Chaya's first community mobilization and education program and co-founding the Peaceful Families Taskforce. She has worked on social justice issues in the U.S. and has done development and organizing work abroad with slum populations in Pakistan and India. Sarah has earned a B.A. in English and Comparative History of Ideas (CHID) from the University of Washington in Seattle and an M.A. in International Relations from Columbia University in New York.
Farah Abdul is a former API Chaya staff member, serving as the Peaceful Families Taskforce Coordinator from 2011 to 2013. Farah began attending Chaya's community events in 2005. She was moved by API Chaya's integration and vision of broader social justice issues that deeply impact immigrant communities, and the intergenerational impact the organization had. After working at API Chaya as PFT Coordinator, Farah now participates as a volunteer once again. Farah is also currently a medical student, with interests in health care responses to domestic violence, narrative medicine, and structural causes of health inequalities
Amy Piedalue is the team's collaborating researcher. Amy completed her B.A. in Women Studies and South Asian Studies in 2004, and her M.A. (2010) and PhD (2015) in Geography, both at the University of Washington. Her academic study and research interests focus on South Asian Studies, gender issues, and social, political and economic inequalities. Her dissertation research focused on community-based peace-building and anti-violence mobilizing in API Chaya's work and in the work of women's collectives in Hyderabad, India.
Amy began volunteering with Chaya about 13 years ago, initially serving on the Advocacy Committee and assisting with direct services. She has worked on the Chaya Helpline, assisted advocates in supporting survivors, helped with administrative work at the office, volunteered multiple times at our annual dinner and auction, and assisted with mobilization work and volunteer coordination. Amy initially became involved and has continued her volunteer work with Chaya, and now API Chaya, because her own values align with our organizational mission and values. In her work with Chaya and with other organizations supporting survivors of domestic violence, Amy has participated in a number of trainings and workshops (put on by Chaya and by other organizations), totaling over 100 hours of training.
When asked to collaborate on this project by API Chaya staff, Amy was eager to contribute to PFT's work and to support a community-based research project focused on the primary prevention of and community response to domestic abuse, two topics that overlap with her own research interests.
Nuha Elkugia is a volunteer project coordinator with the "Peaceful Families Taskforce Research Project" and has been volunteering at API Chaya since 2012. Nuha completed her B.S. Biology and Public Health (2011), and her MPH (2014) in Community Oriented Public Health Practice, both at the University of Washington. Her interests and work experience focus on Community development and Social Action, Research and Evaluation, Equitable Health Policy, Program Evaluation and Management. She currently is a program manager at a non-profit in Seattle working to provide comprehensive health care to families and individuals who have difficulty accessing care.

Their discussion strayed briefly from parking to the National Health Service (NHS) and contrasting UK versus US (and left versus right) views on health policy. I don't want to go there (For various wonkish reasons I lean towards a single-payer approach like the NHS by the way).
But this does illustrate an important parking policy question: Why should any organisation with a mission be involved in providing parking?
Conventional parking policy forces every development to take responsibility for its own parking demand by providing on-site parking (or sometimes parking nearby or a payment towards such parking). We are so used to this that we think it is normal and reasonable. We assume that it is the building manager's responsibility to make parking easy and affordable. But should it be?
I made a comment at JVH's blog:
Here is another way to think about it. What is the core 'mission' of the NHS? Surely the purpose of the NHS is health and medicine, not transport and certainly not parking.
Providing a travel allowance to a small proportion of clients, such as chronically ill patients and their care givers, can be justified as in line with the mission. Some of the recipients would use such an allowance to help with their parking costs, if they drive.
However, providing free-of-charge parking for all visitors and all staff at hospitals, paid for from the NHS budget, seems to me to be way outside the mission and a misuse of taxpayer's money. After all, NHS does not pay for anyone's bus tickets or taxi fares does it?
Can you imagine a parking policy in which we do NOT expect hospitals to subsidize parking in general? Can you imagine not expecting universities or schools or park agencies or any building managers to do so? Under such a parking policy, we would expect both onsite and off-site parking to be run as a business with maximising revenue as the primary objective. This would be best done by professionals whose core business and mission is parking, not health.
Would this mean a lack of compassion for patients and their families? I don't see why.
Some people do deserve help with the burden of transport to hospitals and they should get it from the hospital or health agency (the NHS in the UK case). Without the burden of subsidizing everyone's parking, there would actually be more money available with which to offer transport allowances to those who really need help in accessing the hospital. In other words, such assistance would be much better targetted at those in real need.
If I were a UK taxpayer I would object to precious NHS funds funding the parking of people who don't need such help. What do you think?
