A 55-year-old Bryceville man cited by the state for illegally burning books and starting a wildfire that ended up scorching 705 acres in late March now has a $59,403.38 bill to settle for the personnel and machinery used to extinguish that blaze.
Brian Leon Sparks received the bill Monday from the Florida Department of Agriculture for "the amount we incurred in suppressing the fire," according to its cover letter.
The invoiced bill is on top of a misdemeanor criminal citation for failure to obtain a department permit and reckless land burning after he started burning old paperbacks and clutter outside his Wills Lane home March 22, according to Forest Service officials. The flames got out of control, forcing evacuations, damaging eight homes and prompting a massive fire-suppression effort.
The five-page invoice specifies dozens of pieces of equipment and people used to fight the fire. That includes $1,404 billed for the 13 hours a dozer/plow was used, $660 for 30 hours of work done by one ranger and $550 for the five hours an airplane was used. While high, the bill is not a state record, forestry spokeswoman Annaleasa Winter said.
"We had only fixed-wing aircraft up. If we had more aircraft up, it easily could have been triple," she said. "This is for every person we had at work. We have an itemized table of rates. The computer system tracks that. … We came up with a fair amount."
Fire crews from Nassau and neighboring counties joined with forestry workers to contain and extinguish the blaze over several days. The fire was declared officially under control April 28, Winters said.
Investigators from Florida's Office of Agriculture Law Enforcement went to Sparks' home March 23 to conduct a fire investigation, determining that "the debris pile contained materials which are illegal to burn," according to state paperwork. Investigator J. Starling wrote that he saw evidence of burned "illegal materials," namely papers from books."
The Agriculture Department's 47-page investigative report includes multiple photos of Spark's scorched back yard, filled with burnt book pages, as well as aerial images of the fire's damage in the community.
Failure to pay or make arrangements for payment within 30 days may result in an administrative fine, according to the bill's cover letter. Payment plan options are available for Sparks.
He could not be reached for comment but was extremely remorseful to state officials during the firefighting, Winters previously said.
As for the misdemeanor criminal citation, Sparks was back in front of County Judge Wesley Poole on Tuesday morning for another pre-trial hearing in the case, according to court records.

Even if you like to dress casually it's easy to pull in a couple of luxurious pieces to upscale your outfit and make you feel fabulous. Here's are two beautiful things I just bought that are elegant, classy, and right on trend!
I love the classic look of a impeccably tailored jacket worn with jeans or leggings. This stunning velvet jacket pushes all the right buttons for me.
Velvet is trending, and you are going to see a lot of it this fall. This particular jacket is by Theory. They call it their power jacket, and that is exactly how you feel when you slip this baby on.
It's been a long time since I wore a jacket with strong shoulders like this (hello 1980's) and I must say I like the crisp look and feel, not to mention how a structured shoulder makes the rest of your body look so sleek.
My jacket looks kind of red in some of these photos, but it is actually more of an electric pink. Here's a similar jacket from Anthropologie.
Did you notice what else I bought? I treated myself to these breathtaking Kate Spade rose embroidered boots that I have been eyeing forever. I think they really pop against the all black, and the feel of them goes so well with the luxe velvet jacket.
Here's a closer look at these embroidered boots. They're a work of art! I'd be happy to just put them on a shelf and look at them all day, but I'm making myself wear them all the time, so I really get my money's worth. ( Don't you hate when we buy clothes and then don't wear them?)
Let me walk you through what's behind this look. Both velvet and embroidery are part of what everyone is calling the Russian Doll trend….lots of velvet, embroidery, dark florals, plenty of red, black, luxurious details.
I've taken a couple of these Russian elements and mixed them with a classic black column of color. Have you heard me talk about that before? If not, a column of color is simply, a dressing trick.
To create a column of color, you wear black head to toe (in this case a top and leggings). Then, you put a jacket, or long vest, a coat, or something like that in a bright or light color over top of the dark column.
The contrast between the long, lean line of black and the outside color running alongside of it creates a visual illusion that will make you look taller and slimmer. Movie stars use this trick ALL the time.
So you see, you look relaxed, but dressed up at the same time, and with my 40+ lifestlyle I find I require that combo a lot.
Here's one last look without the jacket. It looks good this way too, don't you think?

Fidessa explores challenges of global execution
New white paper examines the harsh realities of executing in today's markets
March 9th, 2015 - Fidessa group plc (LSE: FDSA) has today released a new paper entitled Shifting sands – the harsh realities of executing in today's markets. Authored by Will Winzor-Saile, Electronic Execution Product Specialist at Fidessa, the paper explores how the electronic execution landscape has evolved over the last 10 years and reveals the challenges that now exist for brokers wanting to trade across global markets.
Winzor-Saile comments: "Execution infrastructure is increasingly seen as a commodity, but as market complexity and regulation continue to impose themselves, many firms are finding it harder to maintain their competitive differential across the patchwork of electronic trading infrastructures that they've previously relied upon."
"The increased costs associated with execution in today's complex trading landscape means it is crucial to the bottom line that brokers get it right," continues Winzor-Saile. Not only do they need to support tougher monitoring, control and transparency requirements, but they also need to be able to deliver a uniform trading experience for their clients wherever they are, and that's not easy."
The paper explains why consistency is key for the execution infrastructure and looks at the ways in which the more forward-thinking brokers are starting to fundamentally rethink their approach to electronic execution.
Shifting sands – the harsh realities of executing in today's markets is available at www.fidessa.com/papers or by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com (0.06 MB)

How to Insert a CD Into a Dell Home Computer Desktop Towerby C.D. CrowderUpdated February 10, 2017
Turn your Dell system into a home stereo system by playing your favorite CDs. Your Dell home computer desktop tower has a CD drive, which allows you to install software, play music and backup data. If your CD drive is also a CD writer, create your own music compilations or photo slideshow disk. Dell desktop tower systems allow you to insert all CD formats, such as CD, CD-ROM, CD+R, CD-R, CD+RW and CD-RW.
Press the power button on the front of your Dell system to turn it on.
Wait until your desktop is fully loaded. All icons will be listed, and the hourglass icon will turn into your normal mouse arrow icon.
Press the small rectangular "Eject" button directly below your Dell's CD drive. The drive looks like a wide, slim rectangle, roughly the size of CD case. The exact location varies based upon your Dell model.
Insert your CD, label-side up, into the CD tray.
Press the "Eject" button again or gently press the end of the CD tray until it starts to slide back into your tower.
For most CDs, an auto run menu appears asking what you would like to do with the CD as soon as your system has a chance to read the disk.
Never force the tray back into your Dell tower. Doing so may damage the tray. Always eject the CD when finished. Leaving the CD in increases your startup time.

Love Song
Dani Netherclift
Posted on October 19, 2015
I'm moving a few things around on "the sands, getting rid of ballast and setting sail, which as a reader, means more regular focus on my blog categories, so more poetry, children's book reviews and pieces on raising a child with autism along with the intuitive segue that I usually follow. I'll be getting rid of the letterwriting category, though I still may write about it, particularly as it pertains to the transcriptions of WWI letters on the Dear Colina blog and the book that my husband and I want to make of them.
It's good to do a bit of house-keeping, don't you think? Meanwhile, I'll also be looking at some children's literature author interviews, as well as getting some other people to write some short pieces of creative or memoir writing on the blog so, lots to look forward to, yay! To kick things off, here is a little poem that I recently wrote. Hope you like it.
You never wrote me a love song,
but you serenaded me
once you wrote a poem
about my naked body,
only a hundred years ago.
It's a different body now.
having grown and birthed your
babies, boy then girl,
planned mysteries both. I rather
loved the swell and curve of my
gravid body, it was a love song all
it's own.
A child is not a love song,
that we wrote together,
a child is so much more than that,
genes mingled,
yours and mine,
entwined in these
mysterious ways.
Let me post this whisper
through the bedroom door:
I never needed the gentle strum
of guitar laden offerings,
and the past is a path of
softened yesterdays. Here,
today, is you and I and these two.
How's your housekeeping going? What is inspiring you? Have you ever been serenaded? Mine was at my wedding on his knees!
Linking up with Essentially Jess for #IBOT

Once an African chief happened to visit a mission station. Hanging outside the missionary's hut on a tree was a little mirror. The chief happened to look into the mirror and saw her reflection, complete with terrifying paint and threatening features. She gazed at her own frightening countenance and started back in horror, exclaiming, "Who is that horrible-looking person inside that tree?" "Oh," the missionary said, "it is not in the tree. The glass is reflecting your own face." The African would not believe it until she held the mirror in her hand. She said, "I must have the glass. How much will you sell it for?" "Oh," said the missionary, "I don't want to sell it." But the woman begged until he capitulated, thinking it might be best to sell it to avoid trouble. So he named a price and she took the mirror. Exclaiming, "I will never have it making faces at me again," she threw it down and broke it to pieces. This is precisely what the Jewish religious leaders did to Jesus. They would dash this mirror of their souls! So they nailed him to a cross, only to find that this magnified the reflection.
Mark 14:53-65 describes the religious trials of Jesus, where he was accused of blasphemy, claiming to be God. 15:1-20 describes the political trials where he was accused of treason, claiming to be a king. As God, Jesus suffered for us. As King, Jesus died in our place.
Since the Jewish Sanhedrin did not hold trials at night, they reconvened shortly after daylight to finalize their verdict. Since they did not have the right to carry out executions (John 18:31), they sent the matter to Pilate, the Roman governor, hoping he would rubber stamp their decision (1). Surprisingly, Pilate wanted to hear the case (2-5).
Pilate was a Roman prefect, or governor. He ruled over Judea from A.D. 26-36. While he normally lived in Caesarea by the Mediterranean Sea, he came to Jerusalem during Jewish festivals to help keep an eye on things and to maintain order.
Pilate was a true politician. He usually made decisions that increased his stature and favor with Rome. The people's desires and well-being were secondary to him. He was especially careful in dealing with the Jewish people. While he despised the Jews, charges had been brought against him because he offended them on two previous occasions.
Since the Roman officials left for more pleasurable activities by mid-morning, Pilate held court from 6-9AM. This is when he opened the proceedings against Jesus.
During the religious trials, the Jews accused Jesus of blasphemy, claiming to be God. In the civil trials, they change the accusation to one of treason, claiming to be a king. Since Pilate is concerned about a king who would threaten Caesar, he inquires whether Jesus is the King of the Jews (2). Jesus' response indicates, "Yes, but not in the way you are thinking." After Jesus' explanation, "My kingdom is not of this world," (John 18:36), Pilate realizes that Jesus is not a threat to Rome.
Though Pilate asked Jesus to defend himself, Jesus remained silent. Such silence was rare in a Roman court, and Pilate was amazed. At this point, Pilate's initial feeling is that Jesus is not guilty.
However, Pilate discovered Jesus was a Galilean. Hoping to avoid making a judgment against him, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, the governor of Galilee, who also happened to be in Jerusalem during this time. Herod only mocked Jesus by asking Jesus to entertain him by doing a miracle. When Jesus declined, Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate (Luke 23:6-12).
During the Passover Festival, the governor's custom was to release a prisoner selected by the people (6-8). Rather than acquit Jesus of the charges, Pilate offered the customary Passover amnesty. Instead of choosing Jesus, the people chose Barabbas (11).
Barabbas was a freedom fighter, robber, and murderer, the equivalent of a first century Robin Hood. He had been condemned to death and was awaiting execution.
Pilate was shrewd enough to recognize that while Jesus was innocent, he had been arrested out of jealousy and hatred (10). He offered to release Jesus, probably in an attempt to spite the Jewish leaders. Being a political animal, Pilate also recognized he would have a riot on his hands if he did this. When he took a poll of the people, the demanded execution by crucifixion (12-14).
In releasing Barabbas, Pilate unknowingly provided an example of substitutionary atonement. Jesus, an innocent man, would die in the place of a guilty convict.
The Roman practice of crucifixion was more than hanging on a tree. It included humiliation and unrestrained torture. During a scourging (15), the prisoner was stripped, often tied to a post, and beaten on the back by several guards using short leather whips studded with sharp pieces of bone or metal. While the Jews limited the punishment to 39 lashes, the Romans had no set limit on the number of blows. Often this punishment was fatal as the subject's flesh hung in shreds.
If this wasn't enough, the Roman soldiers toyed with Jesus like a cat toys with a mouse (16-20). They took a faded scarlet military cloak and put it on Jesus like a royal purple robe. A crown of thorns became the victor's laurel wreath. A reed or staff took the place of the royal scepter. The mocking cry, "Hail, king of the Jews!" parodies the Latin greeting, "Hail, Caesar, Emperor!" As a whole, it was a grotesque, vaudeville production designed to humiliate Jesus before his crucifixion.
On January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship, was hijacked by North Korean patrol boats in international waters off the coast of North Korea. The incident provoked a tense diplomatic and military standoff for eleven months. The eighty-two surviving crew members were taken into captivity. In one particular instance, thirteen of the men were required to sit in a rigid manner around a table for hours. After several hours, the door was flung open, and a North Korean guard brutally beat the man in the first chair with the butt of his rifle. The next day, as each man sat at his assigned place, again the door was thrown open, and the man in the first chair was brutally beaten. On the third day, it happened again to the same man.
Knowing the man could not survive, the next day, another young sailor took his place. When the door was flung open, the guard automatically beat the new victim senseless. For weeks, a new man stepped forward each day to sit in that horrible chair, knowing full well what would happen. At last the guards gave up in exasperation. They were unable to overcome that kind of sacrificial love.
Each of us is the person sitting in the first chair, but instead of getting beaten, we are to die. Knowing this, Jesus traded places with us and took the death blows that were intended for us. No one suffered more than Jesus. Why? Because he loved us. Jesus is the King who died in our place.
This is the synopsis of a message preached at First Central Baptist Church in Chicopee, MA, on April 24, 2016. It is part of a series in the Gospel of Mark. Please click on the link to download a copy of the sermon notes.

Edina Realty's Jaimie Schmeling - 'Opening the Door to Your Dreams' (sponsored)
Aug 13, 2017 03:54PM
By Jaimie Schmeling
Greetings Maple Grove!
I would like to introduce myself to you and the Maple Grove Voice readers. I am so excited to be advertising and sharing my real estate expertise with readers. I am sharing my new slogan:
Owning a home that is unique to individual's or families needs is a dream come true! I share the love of people and homes and use my knowledge to bring them both together!
I am going to be sharing articles to keep you up to date on the market, the present knowledge needed for buyers and sellers that has changed since the last time they were active, how to save the most in selling or get the most in a home for your money. Some homeowners live in their home for 20 years and need a little brushing up on what is going on! That's where I come in.
I am sure you know Edina Realty is a great company that takes great care of its clients. We have led the market in the metro for 17 consecutive years! I am a part of a very strong company. Possibly you have seen my signs out before? They are big red signs sharing that I am a neighborhood realtor! I have lived in three subdivisions in Maple Grove and know a lot about the city, but do list and help buyers buy or list homes across the metro within 60 miles! I'm willing to travel and will take care of your needs anywhere, regardless of location.
I also have an outgoing referral business with Edina Realty. We are under Warren Buffet's umbrella, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate. I know there are some of you that have family and friends out of state who don't know what realtor to use. Our company has experts that will help them find the right agent with their real estate needs, whether listing or selling. Simply contact me and I can get the referral process started! For example, I have helped sell a multi-million dollar home in LaPorte, Indiana. Edina Realty Referral Specialists and myself offer a national service of choosing and interviewing the right realtors for a specific listing with a plan to get it sold for the most money in the least amount of time. They offer virtual staging and many creative marketing concepts to help get a home sold!
I treat my clients as if they are my family and friends and want the best for them. I grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, but have lived in the Twin Cities for 12 years and love it here. I am a vibrant, hard working realtor that goes the extra mile with top notch customer care while cultivating long term client relationships and networks. I work diligently to gain clients by proven results, marketing and staging creativity, and negotiating skills that keep every penny possible in my client's pocket. I like to use that old fashioned term because I know folks appreciate it and it is true! Why? Because I like to save money just as much as they do!
My family, husband, Tom, son, Nate, 22, Hannah, 16, Leah, 15 and three golden-doodles keep me busy but I love what I do and consider it a passion more than a job! I was an elementary teacher for 12 years with a master's in education - so I now use my teaching and love for writing to teach buyers and sellers. I work with people of all ages, so it's important to know how they want to communicate and take great pride in making sure every step is clear to my clients. I have helped investors buy and sell their properties while there are renters present, represent buyers in new construction builds, acreage purchases, lake homes, and more. Besides the traditional loans like Conventional and FHA, I have represented during various types of loans including contract for deeds financing, Veterans loans, 203K rehab loans. I also do short sales and am always willing to dig in right away with any real estate needs. I always answer my phone and am very prompt with emails and text communications!
Qualities that set me apart from the rest is careful attention to buyer's and seller's needs and listening to what is important to them. I am straightforward with them about pricing and that I am going to do everything I can to make the process as seamless as possible. For sellers, I offer decluttering assistance and floor plan and staging tips including some of my inventory, which brings so much more money to a seller! First impressions are huge and refreshing a door with paint and new handles or adding a new storm door if needed are key. I also help buyers visualize a floor plan so that it can work for their needs and in the process help them see the possibilities they might not realize.
Negotiations are also key to closing a sale with the other party and the approach of the realtor can make or break the sale. I feel it's important to have good relationships with other realtors and be a good example for those who aren't always on their toes on the other side. I am a strong networker and am very connected to the schools, area sports activities (Maple Grove Senior High Girls Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis), and am a big dog lover and well connected there. I am in various social groups like Bunco, book clubs, prayer and parent groups. I am in a very strong office of 60 full-time amazing realtors and have learned from the best, I know how to win the sale! We have a Network One pre-list program that allows our 2,300 agents to connect pre-lists and buyers together to possibly get the home sold before it's posted on MLS!
I would love to meet you and hear about you and your real estate needs! Call me and introduce yourself! I would so love that. I love people! Ask me anything. I'm sure I will have a way to help! Please contact me with your real estate needs, consider liking my Facebook business page which shares market information, what is happening in my business, staging, decorating and buying tips with added humor and appreciation. I also invite you to download my Edina Realty phone app. You are welcome to go on my Edina Realty website to see my listings and sales.
I am happy to introduce you to a great lender, Kyle Field, of American Mortgage and Equity Consultants. He will be sharing mortgage market information and lending tips here in the future.
"Opening the Door to Your Dreams"
Expect the exceptional!

text: States » SouthPosted at: Jan 29 2019 7:25PM MyDoc, UST Global form Joint Venture in healthcareThiruvananthapuram, Jan 29 (UNI) Singapore-based MyDoc, Asia's most established value-based digital managed care platform, has formed a Joint Venture (JV) with UST Global to cut health costs for millions of working professionals in India. This partnership is the first of its kind in India, it will leverage technology to simplify how healthcare delivery is organised, measured and reimbursed. Starting with over 14,000 employees at UST Global centres throughout India, the new company will tackle employee health and take aim at the prevalence of people living with lifestyle-related chronic diseases and the rising cost of care in India.The JV increases access to healthcare, optimise healthcare costs, and improve quality and coverage of medical treatment in India. The unique partnership combines MyDoc's best practices, battle tested in one of the world's most advanced healthcare systems, with one of India's largest technology solutions provider to deliver healthcare services at scale to the Indian public."The traditional healthcare market in India is led by hospital based groups and prices in the sector have increased beyond reach for the middle class. The average annual increase in healthcare premiums borne by employers have been growing by as much as 50 percent since 2005 - with premium ratios rising over 110 percent," said Dr. Snehal Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of MyDoc."Companies face mounting costs threatening to hurt corporate profits and employee well-being. We must shift away from a supply-driven health care system organized around what clinicians do, toward a patient-centric system organized around individual patient needs," he said.MyDoc starts every patient on a personal care pathway that ensures each patient receives the right care at the right time. It does so by identifying individual patient health profiles through an integration of objective clinical lab test results and subjective health data from both lifestyle and clinical-grade wearables, as well as the language patients use when describing their symptoms and case notes from attending clinical care teams. Using technology-enabled clinical decision support tools within a patient-centric clinical triage tailored to individual patients, physicians will deliver prognoses and treat patients with greater accuracy and confidence while being freed from administrative tasks and silos.The MyDoc-UST Global JV has established direct partnerships with healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and diagnostic laboratories to launch the MyDoc value-based digital managed care model in Bangalore. The company will deliver healthcare services to employees of banking and technology multinational corporations (MNCs)."Healthcare delivery has undergone a major transformation in the last decade with the incorporation of digital technologies, data-science, and artificial intelligence capabilities," said UST Global's CEO Sajan Pillai. "Through this joint venture, UST Global and MyDoc will deliver patient-centric care through personalized digital interventions, disease awareness, and home-based care. The platform will improve the outcome for chronic illness through improved access to care and better care coordination," he said.In Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, MyDoc has established successful and ongoing implementations with the largest insurers and Fortune 500 companies including AIA, Aetna and Cigna. The company is in the advanced stages of discussions with other players and will be rolling out new solutions across the region.In September 2017, UST Global made a strategic investment in MyDoc to expand its digital offerings in healthcare. The investment funded MyDoc's ongoing initiative to drive population-wide digital health programmes, including disease management and health data tracking. UNI DS JAL 1924

Though Jennifer Lopez is known for being "Jenny from the block" of NYC's Bronx neighborhood, she has always been very vocal about her Puerto Rican heritage. Now, in the wake of destruction from hurricanes Irma and Maria, which left the Caribbean in desperate need of help, J.Lo is stepping up to help those in need in a major way.
"What's foremost in my mind and many others, is trying to figure out the best way to help," Lopez said in an Instagram video. "Our island of Puerto Rico has been hit by the two most devastating hurricanes we've ever seen, Irma and Maria. Today, Puerto Rico needs our help. I urge you to support and donate to the efforts of the first lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rosselló (UnitedforPuertoRico.com). Together, we can help rebuild our island and the Caribbean."
In addition to encouraging others to join together to help Puerto Rico and surrounding islands left ravaged by the recent string of natural disasters, the 48-year-old World of Dance creator and judge — who noted she has yet to hear from some of her family there — donated $1 million to hurricane relief efforts. Lopez announced the news at a press conference alongside New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mets pitcher Seth Lugo, and fellow actress Rosie Perez.
"Lives have been lost. Power is down across the entire island. More than 15,000 people have been forced into shelters, and the storm has devastated the lives of thousands of others," Lopez said at the press conference — at which she used her bilingual talents to speak in both English and Spanish to reach as many people as possible. "Alex Rodriguez and I, who are both New Yorkers, are utilizing all our resources, and relationships in entertainment, sports, and business to garner support for Puerto Rican and Caribbean relief efforts."
Other celebrities using their star power to help Puerto Rico are Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee, and Lopez's ex-husband Marc Anthony. Another A-lister helping out her home country is Salma Hayek who, last week, donated $100,000 to help those affected by recent earthquakes in Mexico.

- Full Description
A rich collection of well-known fairy tales, this magnificently illustrated hardcover will be a treasure in anyone's library. Thirty stories recount the adventures of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Three Bears, The Ugly Duckling, Aladdin, Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, The Frog Prince, and many other beloved characters. Golden Age master illustrator Charles Robinson provides nearly 200 illustrations: 34 full-page images — 12 in full color, 16 in black and red, and 6 in black and white — and scores of smaller line drawings on more than half the pages. Plus two-color endpapers and a stunning embossed, full gilt cover.
Storytellers include Aesop, Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Robert Southey as well as anonymous sources.
Charles Robinson was among the top tier of book illustrators from the mid 1990's all the way up until the 1930s. The best of his books, such as this one, sold right up there with the best of Rackham and Dulac's similar gift editions. He did three "Big Books" in the same format, with a plethora of illustrations. Whether you are reading it yourself or reading to a youngster, you have wonderful drawings on more than half of the pages.
The paper stock is a nice gloss to capture the black & white as well as the two color illustrations. The blue cloth on the cover beautifully offsets the ornate gilt drawing, which is one of the high points of this series. It truly gives you the feeling of owning a handsome jeweled edition with all that gilt.
Like all Calla books, this is a facsimile edition designed to capture the format and look of the original edition from 1911. A look online shows copies of the original priced between $175 and $900, depending on condition. It's one of the more desirable books from the Golden Age of Illustration, and a high point of Robinson's career.

On September 10, the Senate Finance Committee approved S. 1577, the Patient Safety and Abuse Prevention Act. The bill would require criminal background checks for all employees with direct patient access in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The bill does not include hospitals or managed care facilities.
In addition to conducting an NPDB-HIPDB query, participating states must screen job applicants in both the state police database and the FBI's national criminal history database. The goal of the legislation is to increase patient safety by preventing the hire of employees with prior history of abuse or violence.
Senate Special Committee on Aging Chairman Herb Kohl (D-WI) is calling for the bill to be passed by the end of September. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) believes the bill can be passed by unanimous consent.
A full version of S. 1577 is available here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1577

Robert Redford has at least one regret.
The actor admits that perhaps he spoke too soon when saying he was "retiring" from acting.
Robert Redford
"I think it was a mistake to say that I was retiring because you never know," Redford told People at the New York premiere of his film, "The Old Man & the Gun." "It did feel like it was time maybe, to concentrate on another category. I shouldn't have said that because it draws attention away from the film."
Redford originally broached the idea of hanging up his acting hat in an interview last month.
"Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I'll] move towards retirement after this 'cause I've been doing it since I was 21," he told Entertainment Weekly in reference to the upcoming film. "I thought, 'Well, that's enough.' And why not go out with something that's very upbeat and positive?"
He also previously discussed retirement in 2016.
Redford, 82, began his acting career on Broadway in the 1959 play, "Tall Story." He made his film debut alongside Jane Fonda the following year in the movie adaptation of the play.
Redford went on to star in a string of successful films, including "Barefoot in the Park," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Candidate," "The Way We Were," and "Out of Africa."
He made his directorial debut with the 1980 hit, "Ordinary People," which won the Academy Award for best picture and director. Redford has been honored with the Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award and founded the Sundance Film Festival.

Am currently at home, waiting for the kids to get back from school, after which we depart immediately for the airport for our flight to Paris (as discussed here).
In the interim, here are my five favorite songs sung in French. I am not including "Ca Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand because it's always been hugely annoying. Enjoix...
"Envoyer" by The Young Gods ... Okay, yeah, they're actually Swiss... but the song's still in French.
"Prefabriques" by Trust ...Who says the French can't credibly rock?
"La Folie" by The Stranglers ... Slightly dreary and ponderous, but hey ... sung in French, and filmed in Paris.
"Pourquoi es Tu Devenue si Raisonnable?" by the Wedding Present .... They're not French at all, but recorded in French anyway. Mais, oui!
"Le Petit Chevalier" by Nico ... Not actually sung by Nico, but rather her little boy, to very creepy effect. I used to squeeze this song incongruously onto many a mixtape, back in the day, designed to unsettle the listener. It usually worked.

Trouble Comes to Tiny Town, or Miss Maybelline's Travails, Chapter 1
June 6, 2006
Herein, trouble comes to Tiny Town to vex the gentle soul of Miss Maybelline, my best friend of the last 10 years. The country life is highly overrated. Here's an example of what can happen when a person is minding their own business and reading a book. We're talking major redneck country here. One of my "neighbors," who shall remain nameless, likes to be prepared for any contingency. Not that anything much ever happens here.
Power outage during a thunderstorm or ice storm? No problem, his expensive generator immediately kicks on in the first few minutes. About two hours is the longest we've ever done without power here, during an ice storm. He'll be outside the next morning, scraping the few snowflakes (and the pavement) up off the road. Sorta like strip mining. In the event of civil unrest in this small 'burb of oh, 100 people, or an "intruder," he had what he thought was a lean, mean, fighting machine — a German Shepherd guard dog.
As the air cooled and dusk approached on one recent early summer evening, his wife strolled past my home, pushing a baby stroller containing her newborn infant. Mr. "I'm probably overbred and definitely poorly trained" German Shepherd strolled about five feet behind her, unleashed. (Of course there's a leash law here.) Much to the credit of Miss Maybelline and her compadre, Penelope Puppy, neither has ever lunged at the German Shepherd, despite the fact that the perp walk past my house has been going on for the past few months and literally under the noses of Miss Maybelline and Penelope Puppy. However, this phase was ending.
Pajamadeen never even liked dogs that much until Miss Maybelline adopted me. She's become my best friend over the years, traveling everywhere with me and always with the same sunny disposition and affectionate nature. She might lick you to death, but that's about it. If you say "Maybelline, company?", she's so overjoyed at the prospect that her entire body shakes from the vigorous wagging of her tail. She whines in one of her happy tones and suddenly flings herself, belly up, on the ground in front of you — where she lays, wagging her tail and blissfully dreaming of the prospect of. . .company.
As sometimes happens in life, actions converged in an unfortunate way. Maybelline was sitting by the window, staring wistfully at the great outdoors. When she's out, she wants in; when she's in, she wants out. This is a dog worthy of an Oscar — she can stand huddled against the screen door on a balmy 72-degree afternoon, with large, liquid brown eyes that would melt your soul, conveying a message of "Look at me! Do you see what has happened to me? I'm. . .shudder. . .outdoors. . ." The German Shepherd, stepped from the street into my yard. Maybelline jumped for joy. A visitor! The great day had come! She raced to the sliding screen door, which has always been slightly off-track and wobbly, and pushed her pointy nose into the edge of it, all 54 lbs. of her morbidly obese body serving to propel her forward and pop the door out of its track…
(to be continued. . .)

Reading the World of Downton Abbey: Episode 6
Post by Lisa Schimmer
Posted February 10, 2013 in NoveList Plus, NoveList Select, Readers' Advisory News
SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you want to avoid spoilers.
Cheers Downton Abbey fans,
Welcome to episode 6. Be sure to check out my post on episode 5 if you missed it. We've a two-hour episode this week, so everyone at Downton is going to get some screen time. Since it's the penultimate episode, a lot of story arcs are coming to a head.
O'Brien finally convinces Thomas of Jimmy's receptiveness to his affections. Jimmy doesn't take well to being made out with while he's sleeping and, with encouragement/subtle manipulation from O'Brien, demands that Carson dismiss Thomas without a reference (which is The Worst Thing That Could Ever Happen if you're in service). Thomas is too bereft to take up arms against his frenemy O'Brien, but is rescued by his arch-nemesis, the recently restored Bates. The humbled Thomas is even given a promotion, but most important to Lord Grantham, Thomas will be around to be the ringer on the house cricket team in the yearly match against the village.
Meanwhile, upstairs…
Lady Violet is visited by her great-niece, the young Rose. Unbeknownst to the Dowager Countess, Rose is actually in exile because she's been busted by her mother (and later Rosamund, Edith and Matthew) cavorting about London town with a married man (not to mention the jazz clubs). Scandalous! This is the viewing audience's introduction to the Bright Young Things of the period – the unaffected youth who just want to have a good time, damn the torpedoes.
Edith's attraction to her editor is tempered when she finds out he's married.
Matthew and Mary cross paths at the doctor's office and then have an awkward conversation about their fertility issues.
Branson/Tom agrees to stay on at Downton as the estate manager. He even sucks up his Irish pride and takes his place on the house cricket team.
Lord Grantham and Matthew finally agree (or agree to disagree?) on Downton's future.
And now for the books… Evelyn Waugh double-feature!
Brideshead revisited by Evelyn Waugh
This particular title could seemingly have been introduced at any point in the season, but I saved it for this episode. If you haven't read it or seen the two fabulous screen adaptations, you're missing out. Waugh isn't trying to be funny here -- he's simply depicting a world where affairs of the heart are suffocated by social institutions (marriage, religion). And of course there is a posh English family involved.
Vile bodies by Evelyn Waugh
Waugh is trying to be funny here. A group of friends (mostly rich, young aristocrats like Lady Rose) who grew up in the post WWI period and have been inured to the absurdities and indignities of modern life further avoid reality by essentially drinking and doing dumb things. Although in America we call this phase "college," it was novel concept at the time this book was written (1930) and introduced a lot of things that society was still too polite to acknowledge, let alone talk about.
The eye in the door by Pat Barker
The second novel in the author's Regeneration trilogy addresses the public perception of homosexuality and its corresponding moral assumptions in early 20th century Britain.
England, their England by A.G. Macdonell
Bordering on the farcical, this classic gives an outsider's account of the English way of life in the 1920s, primarily everything that is ridiculous about it. Also cricket's finest hour in fiction.
The jewel box by Anna Davis
A little historical chick lit to lighten the mood… Modern (1920s) woman leads a double life in London and gets caught in a love triangle. Keep your fingers crossed that Edith gets an embarrassment-of-riches storyline! (Although I do find her editor extremely adorable, despite his unfortunate marital status).
-- Lisa
Lisa S. is an avid reader and a less dedicated television viewer. She ardently loves and admires everything British, except for tea. When she's not cataloging for NoveList, she's most likely reading something she came across while… cataloging for NoveList.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing analyzes your genes, which are the instructions encoded in your DNA. Your genes help determine your hair and eye color, height, and other physical traits that make you who you are. Genetic testing looks forvariations in your genes that can lead to disease. Knowing your child's unique DNA can be a powerful tool to move towards early detection and intervention rather than waiting on symptoms.
What can genetic testing do for me?
Genetic testing can help identify and manage an existing hereditary condition, provide insight into unexplained symptoms, and gauge the risk of developing a condition that runs in your family.
Why should I go for LifeCell's Genome-Scope test?
Newborns and children under 24 months presented with life-threatening conditions need a fast and precise diagnosis to ensure rapid and efficient further diagnostic and therapeutic initiation. By nature of being rare diseases,the symptoms caused by them can often look similar to more common conditions thereby, being overlooked or mistaken. Failure to diagnose them slows down the process of being able to access the most appropriate care and treatment,leading to complications or even death. Early diagnosis and faster meaningful treatment can save hospital costs and allows improved quality of life for the child.
What is the risk for the newborn baby to be diagnosed with these rare genetic disorders?
Here are some important statistics highlighting the importance of genetic testing for newborns: Without the power of genetic testing, it takes about 7.3 physicians and 4 years for the diagnosis of a rare disorder. 1 in 3 babiesadmitted in Neonatal ICU have a genetic disease. There are at least 7000 rare diseases identified till date. 75% of rare disorders affect children. 30% of babies with rare disease die before their first birthday. 80% ofrare diseases have a genetic origin.
Are there any recommendations from any Indian medical body for genetic testing of inherited diseases in newborn babies?
Yes! In September 2019, the Indian government inaugurated five new molecular diagnostics centres all over the country as part of the Unique Methods of Management and Treatment of Inherited Disorders (UMMID) program to tacklethe menace of genetic diseases in newborns. In India's urban areas, congenital malformations and genetic disorders are the third most common cause of mortality in newborns. With a very large population and high birth rate,and consanguineous marriage favored in many communities, prevalence of genetic disorders is high in India. UMMID initiative aims to establish NIDAN (National Inherited Diseases Administration) kendras to provide counselling,prenatal testing and diagnosis, management, and multidisciplinary care in Government Hospitals wherein the influx of patients is more. In the UK, effective Nov 2019, the National Health Services (NHS) is beginning a schemeto test babies' DNA at birth to protect them from inherited diseases, starting with a pilot scheme of 20,000 children. Earlier in April 2019, US legislators have introduced a bill 'Ending the Diagnostic Odyssey Act,' toprovide genomic sequencing for certain undiagnosed children.
Why choose Genome-Scope?
Genome-Scope is a comprehensive NGS based diagnostic test that analyses over 4000 genes related to inherited disorders in newborns. The key benefits are: Early diagnosis and faster meaningful treatment can save hospital costsand allows improved quality of life for the child. Identification of drug sensitivities (pharmacogenomic information). Makes the genomic data available for future testing requirements. Helps couples with an earlier terminatedpregnancy for future reproductive planning. Trained Genetic Counselor support. Enables you to get the test results in 10 business days. Exhaustive coverage of over 4000 genes relevant to thousands of disorders. DNA sequencingdata with >95% accuracy.
What is Genome-Scope?
Genome-Scope is a breakthrough DNA-based test that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to simultaneously analyse 4000+ genes related to inherited disorders in newborns, many of which present within the first 28days of life. This allows early diagnosis and faster meaningful treatment thereby saving hospital costs and allowing improved quality of life for the baby, makes the genomic data available for future indications, pharmacogenomicinformation for guiding medicine usage and drug response and helps couples with an earlier terminated pregnancy for future reproductive planning.
Who should consider Genome-Scope test?
Genome-Scope is the perfect test for expectant parents planning to bank their newborn baby's umbilical cord blood with LifeCell and who want to learn more about their newborn's genetics. Through the analysis of over 4000 genesassociated with actionable, childhood-onset conditions, you will get insight into your child's risk of developing one of these common conditions like heart condition, hearing loss, metabolic disorders, immunodeficiencies,etc. The test expedites the diagnostic journey for thousands of genetic disorders. It can also be helpful for couples who are currently pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant in the future, including those who havealready had a child.
Can you name a few of the most common diseases that can be potentially detected by this test?
Heart conditions like aortic aneurysms, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, hereditary childhood cancers like retinoblastoma, neurofibromatosis, endocrine neoplasia, sensorineural hearing loss, pulmonary hypertension, vision loss,SCID, bowel hypomotility / obstruction, seizures, hyperbilirubinemia, hypothyroidism, anemia, thrombocytopenia, inborn errors of metabolism, neonatal respiratory distress, skeletal dysplasia, dermatological disorders, thrombophilia,congenital liver disease and many more.
How does Genome-Scope differentiate from current newborn screening test?
The term newborn screening refers to screening newborns for treatable inherited conditions soon after birth. It is a biochemical screening test for approximately only 50 conditions. It requires additional confirmation via genetics,which may require extra sample, time and can cause interim anxiety. Also, missed diagnosis may lead to overall increased poorer outcomes. Genome-Scope on the other hand is a diagnostic test rather than a conventional screeningtest. The analysis of DNA offers us a broader view of diseases which may not be identifiable by blood biochemistry. It tests for over 4000 genes related to inherited newborn and early childhood disorders, and the resultsare with >95% accuracy using the NGS based advanced technology.
How does Genome-Scope work?
Kindly find below the step wise process:
- Prepare For Test:
- Pre-Test Counselling: An in-house Genetic Counselor will help document family history of genetic disorders, personal medical history and lifestyle factors; whilst also clarify test benefits and limitations. The Pre-Testcounselling summary shall be shared with the Client as well as their physician post completion of the pre-test counselling session.
- Order from a Physician: This test can only be ordered by a Physician. If you are unable to find out, LifeCell shall appoint one on your behalf at no additional cost to you.
- Obtain Sample:
- Cord Blood: No additional sample required for Client's preserving their child's cord blood stem cells with LifeCell.
- Heel Prick: Few drops of blood collected hygienically from the baby's heel and spotted onto a filter card.
- Next-Generation Sequencing
- Collect Raw Data: Sequencing information of >4,000 genes will be available for analysis and reporting within a rapid turnaround time of 10 business days.
- b. Obtain Results: Your results will only be shared with the ordering Physician and made available to you online.
- c. Cloud Storage: Raw data is stored on a secure cloud environment for future use.
- Next Steps:
- Post-Test Counselling: Help you interpret the results and clarify any doubts.
- Future Re-Analysis: Based on change in the child's clinical status or when new genomic information becomes available.
What kind of sample does the test require?
Sample for this test can be obtained from the umbilical cord blood or a simple prick on the baby's heel.
Is the sample collection process safe?
Both the sample collection techniques pose no risk to either the mother or the baby.
What is Dried Blood Spot (DBS)?
DBS means a few drops of whole blood drawn hygienically by lancet from the heel of the child and collected on a specially manufactured absorbent filter paper and dried.
Who will collect the sample?
At the request of the Client and upon payment of applicable fees, LifeCell would arrange for a trained Phlebotomist for the collection of the Sample (as applicable) and/or a certified service provider for transport of the Sampleto LifeCell's Laboratory. Client is responsible for providing the UCB Collection Kit to the Caregiver or DBS Collection Kit to the Phlebotomist arranged by LifeCell and also have the ordering Physician duly filled up theforms included in the Collection Kit.
How do I schedule an appointment with a LifeCell Genetic Counselor?
Upon enrollment you will receive an order confirmation email with the details of your plan, pricing, billing/payment mode, etc. It will have a link to get started with your pre-test counselling process and to book your appointmentwith our genetic counselor.
When will I get the test results?
Upon successful sample collection and testing, your results will be shared with your physician in 10 business days.
How will I get the test results?
Your results will be given only to your consulting physician who will then share them with you.
Can LifeCell help me understand the genetic test results?
Yes! A certified genetic counsellor shall be available to talk to you throughout the process at no additional cost. A genetic counselor is a healthcare professional who has extensive training to help you understand how yourfamily and personal health history may increase your risk or your children's risk. They will gather your information, interpret your test results, lay out all the options, treatments, and explain any risks besides answeringall your questions so you can make healthcare decisions that are right for you. They can help find peace of mind or reduce anxiety by providing the right information about the test results.We want you to be empowered byGenome- Scope not just left with more questions!
Do I have to pay additional fees for the genetic counselling session?
For all Clients who sign up for our Genome-Scope test, the pre- and post- genetic counselling service by qualified genetic counsellors will be absolutely free of cost.
What happens during the genetic counselling appointment session?
It's important for the genetic counselor to have a complete picture of your family history. Before your appointment, try to gather as much information as possible from your family members and obtain any relevant medical records.For example, your and your partner's ancestry and ethnic history Information about current and past pregnancies, medical and health history, including major illnesses, chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease,and medications, health history of blood relatives, including children, siblings, half-siblings and their children, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. You should anticipate an informative and thoughtful conversationthat often lasts thirty minutes to an hour or longer.
What if my baby develops symptoms afterwards?
LifeCell shall offer a one time free of cost re-analysis within the initial two years from the date of birth of the Child, only on genes specific to symptoms of the associated disease. The results shall be shared within fivedays. LifeCell may require additional documentation, including clinical information, depending on the details of the Client's requests.
What if I the baby develops the symptoms after the initial two years?
After the initial two years, if LifeCell has not deleted the Client's genomic sequencing data, Client may request re-analysis of Client's genomic sequencing data for an additional fee of ₹4,000 (INR Four Thousand only).
How accurate and reliable are the test results?
Genome-Scope uses an advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to obtain DNA sequencing data with >95% accuracy.
How well can this test predict a certain disease?
Humans have ~20,000 genes with diverse functions. Genome-Scope collects data on ~4200 clinically relevant genes, but the reporting approach has been designed in such a manner to maximize benefit while minimizing uncertainty.Hence, we report changes in ~1200 genes in newborns which have strong evidence of role in disease development and >80% probability of manifestation into disease. For the remaining ~3000 genes, we report the changes inthese genes only in newborns with symptoms since these genes have moderate evidence of role in disease development and 20-80% probability of manifestation into disease.
How useful is the information to improve treatment or choices?
Genome-Scope identifies and reports on conditions where today either treatment exists that helps in early diagnosis and initiating prompt treatment thereby allowing the baby to have a better quality of life and lowering theoverall treatment costs. If the treatment for the disease currently does not exist the knowledge of this is still vital as it helps reduce the diagnostic odyssey for an ill child, guide the family in preparing for the careof an ill child, and aid in future reproductive planning.
What if the test results come positive?
A positive result may:
- identify a likely diagnosis of a genetic condition.
- identify a predisposition or an increased risk for developing a genetic disease in the future
- have implications for other family members
- identify medications or dosages that are not safe or effective for the child
A negative test results may be interpreted that the baby will not get any of these genetic conditions in future?
A negative result does not necessarily rule out a disorder. It must be interpreted that it:
- reduced but does not eliminate the possibility of a genetic condition.
- reduces but does not eliminate predisposition or risk of developing a genetic disease in future.
- does not remove the need for additional testing.
What is Pharmacogenomics?
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs. This relatively new field combines pharmacology (the science of drugs) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to develop effective,safe medications and doses that will be tailored to a person's genetic makeup. Many drugs that are currently available are "one size fits all," but they don't work the same way for everyone. It can be difficult to predictwho will benefit from a medication, who will not respond at all, and who will experience negative side effects (called adverse drug reactions).Pharmacogenomics use your genetic map to figure out how you will respond toa medication or certain treatments, for example Warfarin (for prevention of heart attacks and strokes) and Citalopram (commonly used to treat depression).
Do I require a doctor's prescription to order for this test?
Yes, you will require a doctor's prescription. Whilst signing up for the test, we will ask you to provide doctor details. The prescription will be collected from you after the sample collection process.
What if I can't get a doctor's prescription?
If Client has not chosen it's own Physician then LifeCell shall assign an independent Physician who will place the order on their behalf at no additional cost.
What is the cost of Genome-Scope test?
The fees for this test is INR 30,000/-
I find the Genome-Scope test very expensive.
Whilst it's more expensive initially, it has the potential to lower overall costs by immediately achieving a diagnosis and, thereby, help in avoiding unnecessary tests and treatments. Pre-symptomatic identification and personalizedmedication guidance can also lead to better outcomes.
What is the tenure of this Agreement between the Client and LifeCell?
The term of this Agreement shall be five years from the date of birth of the Child.
Is there any cancellation fees if the Client terminates the Agreement at any time prior to the Sample collection.
In such a scenario, all fees paid by the Client to LifeCell shall be refunded after deducting a cancellation fee of ₹5,000 (INR Five Thousand only).
Is there any cancellation fees if the Client terminates the Agreement at any time after the testing of the Sample?
After the testing of the sample, all fees paid by the Client to LifeCell are non-refundable.
What about the privacy of our confidential and sensitive data?
We, at LifeCell, take data privacy very seriously. We assure you that your data will not be used or shared with a third party without your explicit consent.
>How long will LifeCell store my test results?
LifeCell will store your baby's genomic sequencing data for a period of 5 years after the test.
If I need a back-up of the entire test result, can I get it?
LifeCell will store your baby's genomic sequencing data for a period of 5 years after the test. During this time, the Client may request a copy of their baby's genomic sequencing data on a removable hard drive for a nominalfee of ₹2,000 (INR Two Thousand only).
Does LifeCell store the DNA sample for future testing purposes?
LifeCell shall retain the DNA isolated from the Sample, and the DNA remaining after testing for a minimum of two years after issuance of the final test result. However, we cannot make any claim that the preserved DNA will beavailable or that the DNA, if available, will be appropriate or guarantee results for future tests.
What if after obtaining the final test results, I want LifeCell to destroy my baby's genetic information from its database?
Client may request LifeCell to delete the genomic sequencing data. However, once LifeCell deletes this data from its cloud storage, no copies will be kept for future recovery of the data. Deletion of Client's genomic sequencingdata is final and permanent. LifeCell strongly encourages the Client to request a copy of their genomic sequencing data before such request to destroy the data. LifeCell shall py or delete the genomic sequencing data withinfive days of such a confirmed request.
Will LifeCell use my baby's genomic sequencing data for research purposes?
Only if the Client gives its written consent to us! The Client may give consent to allow the Child's Sample to be used for medical research and/or education, as long as privacy is maintained. Refusal to permit the use of theSample for research will not affect the Client's test results. LifeCell assures that it will not sell Client's data to a third party. Client can withdraw their consent at any time by contacting LifeCell.

A 30-year-old woman spent $25,000 and six hours in an operating room to look like her "idol," 23-year-old movie star Jennifer Lawrence, and now looks nothing like Jennifer Lawrence.
"Nightline" filmed Kitty before and after her surgeries. Kitty had allegedly been told in the past that she resembles Lawrence, and so she wanted to make herself look even more like the actress, despite the fact that the only similarities between Kitty and Lawrence are that they are both female, both have eyes, hair and breasts.
This is what she looked like before her nose job, boob job, fat injections to her face and liposuction:
After $25,000 and many bruises later, Kitty now looks like this:
(Here is a bonus after shot of Kitty's chest, because "Nightline's" cameras focused on this area for several long seconds:)
Another woman from Las Vegas, Rosie, paid $6,000 for fat grafts in her cheeks to look like "Fast & Furious" star Michelle Rodriguez. You can see where this is going.
This is what Rosie looked like before her surgery:
And after:
Do these women look great? Sure! Do they look like Jennifer Lawrence and Michelle Rodriguez, respectively? Nope! Not at all.
