Dear Tiffurz,
First of all, stop worrying about what you want to do later on in life because you still don't know and that's ok because most people I know, also don't know what they want to do. Second of all, it REALLY 100% does not matter how you look or come across in school, you don't have to be popular or look cool because everyone goes off in their different life paths when it's over. And you fit into your own style when you leave. Also, it wouldn't hurt to try a little more in your education instead of getting away with bare minimum but CONGRATULATIONS on passing your exams without any revision!
In your early/mid teens, you don't go out much partly because you live in a remote village. But you'll look back on that time and realise you had the most fun ever staying up until the early morning on Skype with your internet friends! And years on you still and always will appreciate them even though none of you talk anymore. This is also where your blogging hobby comes from.
You won't be alone forever, even so, boys aren't everything and at one point at aged 19/20 you will very much appreciate and love being single where you find out more about yourself! You will have unhealthy and healthy relationships and you will get hurt and you will hurt people (and be an unnecessary bitch) but that's ok. It'll make you stronger and know your worth. You're also stronger and wiser than what you think but you're not invincible.
Moving out has been your dream since you can ever remember and you will achieve this at 20, although you feel your home life isn't the best and you want nothing more than to move out, you will miss your mum, even your brother and dad. You could've spent more time with your family but in a way moving out has made you closer with your family anyway. Your mum is your best friend, she knows you more than anyone else.
I'm writing this at the age of 21, and there's so much to come. Appreciate yourself a little more. Right now, you haven't got the most appealing job but you're happy, and you've always said you don't mind what you do as long as you're happy. This job allows you time to work on your hobby that you never thought you'd have, so I guess that's a plus! You're in a very healthy relationship and couldn't ask for someone better. You're thankful for everything.
Lots of love, Tiffurz ♥

The definition of violence against women by United Nations documents
Violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal social relations of power between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full advancement of women. Violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced to be in a subordinate position compared with men. Violence against women is an obstacle to the achievement of equality, development and peace.

Prospect MGA offer Coverholder Partnerships with European Coverholders looking to Access Lloyd's International Licenses
Prospect is an independent and privately owned Lloyd's of London broker. We are also an approved Lloyd's coverholder. With Brexit looming at 11pm on March 29th, 2019 many European coverholders are still unsure as to how best secure their Post-Brexit Trading rights. After Brexit EEA domiciled coverholders will lose their ability to write direct insurance business in the many countries where Lloyd's of London hold licenses around the world including, amongst other territories, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Canada
Prospect would welcome discussions on potential partnerships with existing Lloyd's coverholders to bridge this gap, with an aim to creating 'twin binders in multiple territories.' A binder could be held by Prospect with Lloyd's syndicates underwriting business in those territories where EEA domiciled coverholders are not licenses and the European Coverholder could operate a mirror binder for their own licensed territories. This will enable the EEA domiciled coverholder to accept 'EEA orphaned' risks and, in doing so, protect and even enhance their valuable business and contacts.
If you are interested in opening discussions with Prospect, please contact Jamie Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: We've been in a bit of a holding pattern for the past five years, paralyzed by the question of whether to strip the interior trim in our house or repaint it. In the early days of ownership, when we were full of the exuberance that's common to new homeownership, we stripped some small test sections of the trim and discovered that wood had been replaced in some areas. That discovery provided the excuse to put off the decision until a later date. And now here we are five years on and we've made a decision … sort of.

Here you will find a variety of service opportunities at our church. We encourage you to explore and find one or more that fits your availability and gifts. Contact information is at the end of each activity, or you may call the church office to express your interest or ask questions.
The Outreach Committee is a vital part of our parish, helping to make it a "beacon of hope" for our community. We are always seeking new opportunities to do God's work in the world. If you have ideas, questions, or comments, please contact Seth Lloyd, Outreach Chair or Calebria Webb, Christ Church's Associate for Community Engagement.
Crossroads of Michigan
NOTE: As of March 27th, Crossroads is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. They anticipate opening again on April 14th, and with even greater needs than usual. A social service outreach agency of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, Crossroads supports the community by providing emergency assistance and advocating for the poor and homeless. Each week, Christ Church gathers in canned and boxed items to help stock Crossroads' food pantry. In addition, we sponsor an "Advent Diaper Drive" for Crossroads clients. In Advent 2019, we supplied over 26,000 diapers, and packaged them for distribution at Crossroads parenting classes. Contact: Eileen MacDonald
Gleaners Community Food Bank
This food bank distributes food to individuals, community organizations, soup kitchens, and churches in Detroit. Several times each year, Christ Church parishioners spend a Saturday morning volunteering at Gleaners, preparing boxes of food that will meet the needs of those who are food insecure. Contact: Seth Lloyd
Green Team
The Green Team identifies ways for the church and its members to be good stewards of God's creation. For example, we have banished Styrofoam cups from our coffee hour in favor of ceramic cups and mugs, supported a service to bless Detroit's urban gardens, and set up recycling bins in the church for recyclables, including plastic bags. We are exploring solar panels. If you have ideas, questions, or comments, please contact Jim Treece.
Homeless Shelter Week
For more than 25 years, Christ Church has housed about 40 homeless men and women for one week, as part of the rotating shelter program sponsored by Cass Community Social Services. This project involves almost 100 church members who prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plan activities, and strive to provide our guests with a measure of dignity and hope. The date for the next Shelter Week will be November, 2020. Contact: Genet Barthwell or Seth Lloyd
Meals on Wheels
Christ Church has been for many years a distribution center for the holiday Meals on Wheels program. On Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter mornings, parishioners gather with others in the wider community to distribute meals to seniors in our area of Detroit. Contact: Margo Norris
Pope Francis Center
At least once a month, Christ Church members serve breakfast at the Pope Francis Center located at Saints Peter & Paul Jesuit Church, nearby on Jefferson Avenue. Contact Seth Lloyd if you'd like to join a shift.
Reading Camp
Each summer, Christ Church hosts 30-40 elementary-age Detroit children for a reading enrichment program. The 7th annual Reading Camp is taking place July 15-19, 2019. Contact: Denise Crenshaw
Spirit of Hope Soup Kitchen
Spirit of Hope (also known as Trinity Episcopal Church) is located on Detroit's near west side. Christ Church and Trinity have been in partnership for decades. Christ Church helped to open a Saturday soup kitchen there almost forty years ago, and is still responsible for preparing food and serving guests whenever there is a fifth Saturday in a month. Contact: Jon Miller
Syrian Refugee Project
In cooperation with the Reconstructionist Congregation of Detroit (a Jewish congregation that meets in our building) and under the guidance of Samaritas, Christ Church sponsored a Syrian refugee family in the fall of 2016. Members organized furniture for the family's new home, stocked it with food, and welcomed the group of five, who later expanded to eight. Parishioners and members of the RCD continue to provide support as the family becomes acclimated to their new environment. We rejoice that an Episcopal parish and a Jewish congregation together welcomed and housed a Muslim refugee family. Contact: Edwina Simpson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Twelve Step Programs
Gamblers Anonymous meets each Saturday at 10:00 am in Cary Lounge, and Alcoholics Anonymous meets each Saturday at 10:30 am in Ledyard Hall. Contact the church office for more information.
Financial Assistance
In addition to the above hands-on activities, the Outreach Committee reviews various requests for funding. In the last year, Christ Church contributed financially to Song and Spirit (homeless care packages), Freedom House (refugee assistance), Samaritas (social services and refugee relief), Detroit school children (coats and school supplies), the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund, and others.

There is a new exhibit opening on March 4, 2017 in the Paul G. Allen Flying Heritage Collection called Why War: The Causes of Conflict. Walking through the collection of planes, weapons and tanks is fascinating. However, they wanted to add a bit of conversation to what you are seeing. These machines are built for war, but why? These are massive and some are capable of destruction at their active state. Why did we need such enormous and mighty machines of war? This exhibit is full of answers and more.
This is set up in a far corner of the main hanger and it is all interactive. In this little space, you and the kids will get lost for a long time. With large touchscreen panels that greet you, your fingers control the education you read and watch. Choose a war and you get so much for that time period-war facts, figures and even videos. You can even find popular culture for that era-there is a clip of I Love Lucy you can watch!
Moving on you see displayed atom bombs and tools. There are media and protest posters from all eras and another touchscreen display about the people of war-men, women, children and soldiers to get to know for different wars.
Anthony's favorite was the conflict command center. There are interactive computers set up that make you the leader of a country. You are given scenarios and you make the decisions on resolution. You can even (pretend) call advisors for their opinion like you might actually do. You are timed and once you move through a solution process it ranks you. Anthony was labeled as a Strategist for his choice of resolution on the conflict he played with. He is going on 9 and enamored by this part of the exhibit.
There is more as well as a peak into the actual collection, watch Anthony's video below:
If you know someone in the Seattle are or plan to make it into Everett for a peak into the Boeing plant and museums, visit http://www.flyingheritage.com/ They are available for class and group tours. The kids would highly enjoy this from about Anthony's age and older.

gmpullmanThis basic chart indeed shows a stiff grade on either side of Attica Jct.
BnO_Chi_Div_crop by Edmund, on FlickrRegards, Ed
BnO_Chi_Div_crop by Edmund, on FlickrRegards, Ed
Referred to as Republic Hill - it was the ruling grade between Willard and Chicago 0.30%. Not much of a grade in real terms, however, when you load locomtives to the maximum tonnage for the territory, any deviation from level or descending can be quite a struggle. More than one train stalled on Republic Hill.
I suspect with today's trains being well in excess of a mile in length, the momentum of their length makes Republic Hill less daunting to today's engineers.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
PRR's Columbus-Sandusky line famously crossed the B&O mainline at Attica Junction. It was big with steam fans, as the PRR 2-10-4s lasted there a long time. The line mainly carried coal off the N&W to the lake port. Eventually the line was sold to the N&W.

Yes, A dozen oil-burning Santa Fe 5011-class 2-10-4's were leased to Pennsy between late April and early December 1956 to haul coal between Columbus and Sandusky, OH. It was just a few years after they scraped their 26 Q2 class 4-4-6-4.
PRR J1's and Santa Fe 2-10-4's at Sandusky, Ohio (1956):
Jones 3D Modeling Club https://www.youtube.com/Jones3DModelingClub
B&O's 'prefered' method of Main Line operation was double track with current of traffic signalling and directional passing sidings.
To me the photo looks like the 2 trains are on double track. Wasn't the B&O main double tracked in the area west of Willard?
Seems awfully familiar to this 9-18-1955 photo by Bob Withers and the caption states that this T-3b, 5565, is on westbound #97 at Attica Jct. Ohio.
BnO_Attica_9-55 by Edmund, on Flickr
Google translate makes out the caption posted by the OP to be:
As the photographer noted, this shot was taken at 7:53 am with the Pennsylvania RR Company's 89 X 85 at Attica / Ohio on the Cleveland / Ohio railway to Fort Wayne / Indiana
If the photo is in the morning and he's eastbound, there must be a grade here, note the sand accumulation on the rails. I thought I had a track chart of this area but I can't put my finger on it at the moment.
Mr. Withers' photo shows a westbound, the pole line would be on the south side which would agree with the OP's photo. There could be sidings on both sides of the two-track main, obscured in the photos by the height of the main track.
This basic chart indeed shows a stiff grade on either side of Attica Jct.

Regards, Ed
Well, it looks plausible, western ohio is relatively flat farm country formed by the glaciers thousands of years ago. Here's the B&O system map but it doesn't show either Attica or even Fort Wayne.
This one shows the B&O and the Pennsy comming together in Tiffin rather than Attica. However there is (was) the Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking Valley between the two at Attica:
No idea if the line still existed in the 50's.
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Well my German ist nicht gut. Ich vergess alle. That being said, there is nothing in the background that would be an identifier as to location. Interesting is the train going away is on a slightly elevated track indicating to me that this is a single track mainline. The train coming toward the camera could be on a passing track waiting for the other train to clear. Since the photo caption indicates it is near a junction the foreground track could be for leaving cars for pick up by either railroad. I do not think this is on the PRR because the caboose is not a PRR model that I have ever seen. It would be highly unlikely that two trains of a competitor would be on PRR trackage. That makes me think that the train is on B&O trackage near the PRR junction. Please treat this opinon as I am not familiar with that area. the photographer (Bob Malinoski) is a very well known photographer of trains in the USA
a German website shows this fine photo:
The original text which may have been changed in the meantime was: "Wie der Fotograf vermerkte, gelang ihm diese Aufnahme um 7.53 Uhr mit der 89 X 85 der Pennsylvania RR Company bei Attica/Ohio an der Bahnstrecke zwischen Cleveland/Ohio und Fort Wayne/Indiana. (05.08.1955) Foto: R.R. Malinoski"
I'd think we're seeing a B&O freight possibly near Attica Junction. Could anybody shed some light on this, please?
Best wishes from Germany, Helmut

I have also seen this problem and we could only delete the snapshot drives by
rebooting the client. It VSP screws up a few times you can end up with a number
of snapshot drives on your disk and the disk space can fill up. More concerning
is that this will only be discovered if you examine your drive for any *.vsp

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I am running 4.5 FP 5 on a Solaris master server and have discovered on
a Windows 2000 Client with VSP enabled that when VSP screws up and
causes the job to fail, it is not getting rid of the snapshot drives it
created. rebooting the machine cleans them up, but stopping and
starting the Netbackup client service does not. Does anyone know of a
way to clean up the snapshot drives without rebooting the client?
This would not be so bad, except the drive it's snapshotting is 400 Gig
and NetBackup thinks it is a valid drive. So the next time it runs a
backup job, it thinks it is supposed to back up the snapshot drive AND
the real drive, making 800 Gig of backups instead of 400 Gig. Yuck.

Iranians in New Zealand have joined protests around the world against a crackdown by the Tehran government.
More than 90 university students have been arrested by the regime for demanding greater political freedom. More than 90 percent of those arrested in Iran are under the age of 25.
- Iran protests turn deadly as protesters and police killed
- Iran protesters arrested, will face harsh punishment - officials
- Pro-government rallies in Iran
With a young, tech-savvy population, the politicians' fear of youth organisations isn't surprising. The clerical regime responded by limiting internet access to block communication.
In a show of solidarity against the Tehran government, protesters gathered in Auckland's Aotea Square.
Refugee Maliheh Shadoust implored New Zealanders to stand up for the persecuted Iranian people.
"They are human like everybody else. Nobody knows who we are now - what for? We need support. We need everyone to come for us."
The University of Tehran has set up a committee to track its arrested students, saying many of them were innocent bystanders.
Families of detainees who are camped outside Evin Prison say they're also being threatened with arrest.
"If you say something, they catch you take you to jail and God knows what they do to you," says Ms Shadoust.
"We have some mothers here. She doesn't know where is her son."
The United States has pledged its support for the protesters, which supreme leader Ali Khamenei says is only stoking chaos.
"There is a long history of US bullying at the UN, but this is a preposterous example," Iran's UN Ambassador, Gholamali Khoshroo, said in response to Nikki Haley's condemnation of the Tehran government.
"[They are] the purely internal affairs of a nation, in this case protests, that the Iranian government has addressed."
While protests continue to gain momentum, new pro-government rallies have emerged where many citizens have been ordered to attend.
This has prompted the people of Iran to not only fear the fate of detainees, but also an impending crackdown by regime to restore order.

Money Matters: An Important Discipleship Issue
Money matters. Don't worship it! Take the time to get this right. It will change your discipleship. It will change your life!
Money matters. Don't worship it! Take the time to get this right. It will change your discipleship. It will change your life!
Evaluate your efforts. How are you doing? What discipleship strategy questions would add for early in the journey (pre-salvation and early discipleship)?
D-Life Boot Camp prepares for a lifestyle of disciple-making. It will equip everyone in your ministry for a life of disciple-making—anytime and anywhere.
Whose disciple-making agenda are you pursuing? Let me share five I hear often: yours, your disciple's, the church's, the curriculum's, and Satan's.
Every generation has unique characteristics, passions, and habits. We will be more effective in discipling the NextGen when there is greater understanding.
Would you like to improve your overall church health? Do you need help equipping leaders? EQUIP TOUR 2019 will help you sharpen your leaders' effectiveness.
Too many are too busy or lazy to disciple or be discipled. Relationships and discipleship take time. Solo is a Star Wars hero, but not a discipleship hero.
Would you like to grow? Would you benefit from challenge? Are you going through a time of little growth? Then you might benefit from a discipleship mentor.
When I think about practicing right things, lessons from chess apply to discipleship. We must develop right and consistent discipleship practices.
For a Sunday School class or small group to move toward discipleship, accountability in relationships is needed with honesty among leaders and members.

The left has been trying to rewrite our history by removing all things confederate from the public square, but the people in one Texas town weren't having any of it.
Parents in the Austin ISD School District were outraged when the leftist members of the school board announced that there was an effort underway to change the name of the Robert E. Lee Elementary School, so they fought back in the only manner they knew how; an epic trolling campaign. The School Board asked the community for help in renaming the school, and it's safe to say they likely won't be trying that again after the responses they received.
KXAN reported that numerous names were submitted through a public forum then people were allowed to vote on them. A screengrab from the local news showed some of the top contenders.
However, according to KXAN, the top nomination was for "Donald J. Trump Elementary School," and you can guess how well that went over with the far-left ideologues running the district.
From KXAN, via the Gateway Pundit:
The recommendations for the future name of Robert E. Lee Elementary in Austin were released, Friday.
On March 28, the Austin ISD board voted to rename the school, after hearing feedback from the community and school parents. While the board asked for recommendations, they will have final say on the name, regardless of number of nominations.
Security has been increased at the school as a precaution.
Top 10 renaming recommendations — sorted by most nominated:
** Donald J. Trump Elementary: 45 nominations
** Robert E. Lee Elementary: 34 nominations
** Russell Lee Elementary: 32 nominations
** Harper Lee Elementary: 30 nominations
** Elisabet Ney Elementary: 15 nominations
** Lee Elementary: 13 nominations
** Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance: 8 nominations
** Waller Creek Elementary: 8 nominations
** Dr. Frances J. Nesmith Elementary School: 7 nominations
** Guy Bizzell Elementary: 6 nominations
Some of the more notable, but less voted names include:
Adam Lanza's School of Fun, Bee Movie, Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary, Boaty McBoatface Elementary School, Forgetting the Past Dooms You to Repeat It Elementary, Garfunkel, Hypothetical Perfect Person Memorial Elementary School, John Cena Elementary and Schooly McSchoolerson.
Of course, despite the wishes from the community that pays for the school with their taxes, the school board did what they wanted anyway and ignored the people. Ultimately, they decided on the "Russell Lee Elementary School," naming it after a photographer.
But while the arrogant elitists running the district ignored the will of the people, the community undoubtedly sent them a strong message. It's just too bad people like this rarely pick up on hints no matter how obvious they are.

In 2006, about a year after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), New York filmmaker Jason DaSilva was on vacation when he lost all feeling in his legs. Since then, he has relied on either a motorized scooter or a wheelchair to get around.
Unfortunately, he quickly discovered that much of his hometown, New York City, was not wheelchair accessible. "I wouldn't be able to meet friends for coffee or drinks or even go to business meetings unless I already knew the location could accommodate a wheelchair or scooter," DaSilva explained. Unless he had been there before, he had no reliable method to determine accessibility.
DaSilva is changing that for himself and others by developing an online platform that lets people know whether a location is wheelchair accessible. His efforts recently earned him an honorable mention in the Lyfebulb-Celgene 2019 "Addressing Unmet Needs in MS: An Innovation Challenge." While he appreciates the recognition, DaSilva knows he has a long way to go before his vision is fully realized.
Enhancing Accessibility
While two-thirds of people living with MS are able to walk (many with the help of a cane or crutches), many, like DaSilva, need to use a scooter or wheelchair to conserve strength and reduce fatigue, one of the most common symptoms of the disease.
When DaSilva began relying on a scooter and wheelchair, he was frustrated by inadequate information on accessible locations. Even when he called ahead, businesses didn't always give him reliable information. He realized the same frustration likely afflicts the approximately 3.6 million people in the U.S. who use a wheelchair.
At the time, DaSilva had just won an Emmy for his documentary, "When I Walk," an autobiographical account of the seven years following his diagnosis. While he loved filmmaking, DaSilva temporarily paused his work in the film industry to pursue the opportunity to use technology to help people better manage their disabilities.
"Technology has greatly expanded over the last 30 years, but people rarely think about [its possibilities for] accessibility unless it affects them personally," DaSilva said.
A Platform for Those with Disabilities
In 2012, DaSilva launched his solution: AXS Map, a crowdsourced online platform that allows people with disabilities to find accessible spots throughout major metropolitan cities worldwide. With AXS Map, users document the accessibility of individual locations by rating and noting such features as entryway, bathrooms and parking.
Today, the platform boasts 118,000 registered users in about 100 different countries around the world. Still, before city dwellers with mobility issues will be able to enjoy all the amenities available to them, more user ratings are needed. To improve those numbers, DaSilva's AXS Map team has held more than 300 "Mapathons" in major cities to encourage people to rate business in their neighborhood, including through friendly competition.
Beyond these events, DaSilva and his team are hopeful that they can scale it and improve the user experience by developing a native app for iOS and Android devices. AXS Map is currently a live website, but further development is needed to scale the app for mobile platforms.
"It's so important to continue supporting patient entrepreneurship within the MS community and beyond."
Supporting Patient Entrepreneurs
Reaching the next phase of AXS Map requires more funding. "We're a small group of very smart people," DaSilva said. "But if we had more funding, we'd be a much bigger team, and we would be able to scale up AXS Map to help more people."
That's why DaSilva decided to enter the Lyfebulb-Celgene 2019 "Addressing Unmet Needs in MS" innovation challenge. He saw it as a great opportunity to get AXS Map in front of the MS community.
DaSilva didn't know anyone in the MS startup space before, so he enjoyed networking with other entrepreneurs who are addressing unmet needs for people like himself who are living with MS. The competition gave him hope that more resources will soon be dedicated to technologies geared toward those with mobility challenges, whether due to MS or other causes.
After seven years working on AXS Map, DaSilva is ready to see investors and consumers take notice and recognize the need for these innovations. "I wish there were more opportunities like this Innovation Challenge," he said. "It's so important to continue supporting patient entrepreneurship, both within the MS community and beyond."
To learn more about how other entrepreneurs are working to improve care within the MS community, read "App Aims to Make Communication Easier for People with Multiple Sclerosis and Their Care Partners."

The Rules Of Texas Hold Em' Poker
The Rules Of Texas Hold Em' Poker
Texas Hold Em' is one of the most common types of poker to play in a casino. There are several rules that players need to know before attempting this version of poker.
Only one deck of cards is used in a game of Texas Hold Em'. There are no joker cards in this game. At offline casinos as many as 10 players can participate in a game of Texas Hold Em' at once. The number varies at online casinos. It is not unusual for this type of poker to be played between two people and two people only. Most casinos offer both cash games and tournaments for Texas Hold Em'.
The game starts with players being dealt two cards on the table in front of them and holding two cards each in their hands. The cards that players hold are referred to as either pocket or hole cards. Each player in the game takes turns being a dealer. For every hand that is played the role of dealer is given to the person next to the one who just did it. The player sitting next to the dealer on the other side is required to make a mandatory bet also called a blind bet. The player next to them has to place their full bet, which is called the big blind. These two players then have an advantage over the other players in the game. Whoever is sitting on the left side of the player considered to be the big blind has to call, fold or bet. The other players in the game choose which option they want to use. Each player's bet is placed in the middle of the game table and this is collectively referred to as the pot.
On the conclusion of the first hand of the game each player is dealt three cards that are laid on the table face up, allowing everyone's hand to be visible. The cards everyone can see are referred to as community cards, also known as a flop. The next round of betting is then begun. The small blind decides which move they want to make and the other players can then make their choices.
This round is followed by the second instance of community cards in the game. This kicks off the third round of betting. Whoever is acting as the dealer has an advantage over other players.
The third and final instance of community cards is then used. In the event that a full house is laid out on the table a player may be able to add value to that full house. If no one can, all players remaining in the game win money.
These are the basic rules that govern a game of Texas Hold Em' Poker. Once you have learned these rules you are ready to play the game in an online casino or an offline casino. Either way, many players find that Texas Hold Em' is their favorite.

Liam "Hunter" Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil's Jack, he knows his duty. He'll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers' president has a daughter who's alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her.
Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club's president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him. Now the men in her life are far more interested in keeping her daddy happy than showing her a good time. Then she meets a handsome stranger—a man who isn't afraid to treat her like a real woman. One who isn't afraid of her father. His name is Liam, and he's The One.
Or so she thinks.
My opinion:
This is Em's and Hunter's story.
The story begins 8 years earlier when Em was 14 years old the first day at school.Then we have a glimpse from Hunter the same year, how he ended up in the Devil's Jacks MC. Burke the prez from the Devil's Jacks order to scope out Picnic's daughter and find a plan so they can make a move against him. When Hunter saw Em he knew he had to have her. Em had a chrush on Painter he seemed to feel the same but he did nothing for it since she was Picnics daughter. Em was pissed off with him for rejecting her and that's when Liam/
Hunter manage to make her fall for him.And then there was the day that those two get to meet, and Em's heart breaks again. Her first date and she ended up kidnapped. But Em was smart and strong so she didn't show if she was scared or not and she fought back.When Liam told her why that happened she was very confused, she didn't know if she should believe him or not.
After all this was done he still contacted her, he missed her alot.
Part two of the story: Em finaly is doing something for herself, she's moving to Portland.Whatever Liam and Em felt for each other it doesn't seem that can work out since they belong to different clubs. This hurts both of them. Things got worst when there were excecutions in both clubs. In the end the clubs still hated each other but at least they had truce.
It's a good story, with action,drama and sex.
First part of the story takes place in the same period with the second book. The second part is what follows after that incident. For those who didn't read the first two books, Em is Picnic's daughter, he is the prez of the Reapers. Hunter or Liam belongs to the Devil's Jacks MC. Those two clubs were most of the time at war but those two manage to fall in love. They have been through alot but their love was strong enough to last.
My favourite lines:
1)Dad was well and truly cock-blocking me, and it was bullshit.
Wait, did it count as a cock-block if you didn't have a cock?
2)Fuck. Fighting with me turned the bastard on.
3) "I'm gonna buy a bright red dress to wear to your funeral, Liam," I hissed. Shit. I needed to control
my tongue …
"Yeah?" he asked. "Make sure it's short and shows off your tits."
4) "You know, I've given this quite a bit of thought over the past week, and I keep coming back to one
idea … How about I shoot you in the balls? Payback seems only fair, right?"
5)I swear to God, if you kidnap me again, I'll let them kill you this time.
6)Seriously? Fucking Painter was going to rescue us?
And right there I had it—proof that God's a twisty bastard.
7)"Babe, I say this with all due respect. You scare the shit out of me."

Background: Communication is critical to high-quality care transitions, yet little is known about the quality of information transfer from the hospital to home health care (HHC) setting. We performed a cross-sectional survey of HHC nurses and staff to evaluate their perspective on the completeness of medical information transferred from hospitals to HHC agencies in Colorado.
Methods: Based on themes identified from a prior qualitative analysis, we developed a survey for HHC nurses and staff. Survey questions were validated through semi-structured interviews with 5 HHC nurses. Between January and June 2017, we evaluated a web-based 48-question survey by contacting the 56 HHC agencies participating in the Home Care Association of Colorado, and reaching out to individuals from agencies that were willing to participate. The survey explored the completeness of patient-related information exchange at hospital discharge. Respondents selected answers on a Likert scale and enter free-text comments.
Results: Among 56 HHC agencies contacted by email, 14 (25%) were willing to participate. Within participating agencies, 50 of 122 individuals (41%) responded. Among respondents, 25 (50%) identified as frontline HHC nurses, 16 (32%) as HHC managers, 7 (14%) as administrators, and 2 (4%) as quality assurance clinicians. The majority (58%) were 50 years and older; 38% delivered HHC in rural areas, 30% in suburban, 24% in urban areas, and 8% in multiple settings. Most (62%) worked in for-profit HHC agencies. At the time of hospital discharge 42% of respondents had "occasional" or "rare" access to sufficient information about a patient's hospitalization and 44% indicated they "often" to "almost always" encountered problems related to not having adequate information about a patient.
The most common elements of discharge communication identified as insufficient were: additional tests recommended by hospital clinicians (58%), pending studies for follow up (56%), which clinician to contact with questions (54%), patient-related safety issues (54%), and contact isolation status (50%). Altogether, 78% of respondents found it at least "somewhat difficult" to reach the appropriate physician with questions. Most respondents (90%) indicated that internet-based access to the hospitals electronic medical record would be useful. A representative free text statement describes one respondent's experience with post-discharge communication: "It does no good to call the Hospitalist after discharge. Most of them have no concern for the patient after they leave the facility. (Sad)"
Conclusions: Information exchange between hospitals and HHC staff is suboptimal. We identified multiple opportunities to enhance the information provided during the transition from hospital to HHC. Respondents expressed the need for accurate hospitalist contact information, access to electronic health records, and engagement with HHC clinicians beyond hospital discharge.

Sometimes, something seems like such an obvious idea that you're sure it has to have been done before. Point in case, Dave Gunning and JP Cormier's recent release, 'Two'.
While the two have been friends for a long time, and have shared local stages and crossed paths elsewhere, this is the first time they have made an album together.
The friendship between Gunning and Cormier, although seemingly timeless, does in fact have a beginning, and a fairly humble one at that. Gunning needed a fiddler for a gig; his friend John Meir suggested Cormier, and Gunning — not all that familiar with Cormier — rolled the dice and gave him a shot.
"I knew that he had just moved back from Alabama," Gunning said. "I just knew that he played fiddle and that was about it, then we heard from other people that he played banjo and guitar and bunch of other stuff."
Gunning added that Cormier — who had played for the likes of Marty Stuart, Waylon Jennings and Bill Monroe — was known, just not to him. Today, he describes JP as being family.
'Two' was recorded at Gunning's, rather than Cormier's studio, leading Gunning to joke that his Wee House of Music was closer to Uncle Leo's Brewery than Cormier's facility.
"JP's been good for the local economy," he joked.
The duo took about 18 months, off and on, to create the album, and Gunning said it was a complete collaboration, with the pair co-writing and co-arranging. They also made a point of recording their guitars together and when that was settled, recording their vocals together and limited themselves to just those four tracks.
"We did it as a challenge to ourselves," Gunning said. "It's so easy to add stuff, but we felt that was wimping out. We wanted the two guitars and two vocals to stand out on their own. We also wanted to record something that could be produced exactly like that live, with no trickery. It's a day and age where vinyl's coming back, I think honesty in music is coming back in a lot of circles."
The other effect of their recording style was that their playing styles and the sound of their guitars created lush harmonic qualities that Gunning likened to a non-existent third guitar.
"We both play differently when we're playing together and we both sing differently," he explained. "There's just something better that comes out of each of us. We love making music together. On this record what we did is kept it really simple, just two guitars and two vocals."
Gunning said their respective guitar styles create an interesting mesh, with his often altered tunings providing ringing notes and "droney stuff", and Cormier showing amazing restraint and creating memorable melodic parts.
"He's just such an incredible musician," Gunning added. "He's unbelievable, I've been working with him and we're very close but there's still times where I'll hear him do something and think 'what was that? Where the hell did that come from and how did he even think of it?' It comes natural to him."
Gunning said in some cases he and Cormier fully fleshed out, arranged and recorded the guitars before even completing the lyrics. This allowed them to not only have clean guitar tracks free of vocal bleed, but also apply the same dedication to their guitar work to crafting vocal harmonies.
"I know that I tend to play better and sing better when I play with him, he has said similar things. He'll play differently."
'Two' is available now at gunningandcormier.com.

Cade Grayson has seen tough times in his life when he was in "the Sandbox" as they called it. Little did he know that what he saw then couldn't begin to prepare him for what happens when a virus is unleashed upon the US and its citizens. Follow Cade on his journey to safety for both him and his wife and child (who are not with him when everything goes down)
The narration in Trudge was done by Chris Patton. I liked his style and it really fit the book. I think that Cade was a "manly man" for sure, and I think that Patton did him justice in that aspect. My only complaint (and it's not even a complaint, it made me chuckle a few times throughout listening) was when Patton would say something with a WH in it. He would say "Hoowhat" instead of "what", which reminded me of a Family Guy skit about how to say Cool Whip. (Is it Cool Whip or Cool Hoowip?) As I said, it doesn't take away from the audiobook, just a personal thing I noticed. The quality of production was also great. No issues at all.
Trudge was one of those books where I felt like I'd been there before, but I won't lie – you haven't. The story followed a similar character to the book I read RIGHT before this one (Max from Tomorrow War). But, the storyline was totally different and was full of unique and different characters.
I can tell that the author either has military training or is extremely familiar or close to someone who has. Chesser uses a lot of military terms and for the most part, he tries to explain what they are. There are still a few that slipped through, either because he didn't want to explain what it meant or he just assumed Civs aka civilians would know what it meant.
Another book that falls short with me based on the fact that it doesn't have a proper ending. Yes, there was some closure, but not nearly enough for me. The book just felt incomplete because it is missing what I think is at least half of the story. Damn sequels and trilogies! Other than that, it was a quick read and an enjoyable one at that.

4 tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds), chopped (I only used 3 good size ones, that was plenty.
1 cup cooked fresh corn kernels (I used two small cobs)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing (or Light Zesty Italian)
You will need to cook 2 ears of corn to get the 1 cup cooked fresh corn kernels needed to make this recipe.
To remove the cooked corn from the cob, hold the cob firmly at an angel then carefully cut down the ear (away from the body) with sharp knife, removing several rows of corn with each cut.
Cut tomato into wedges, then cut each wedge into small pieces.
COMBINE all ingredients except dressing in large bowl.
ADD dressing; mix lightly.
serve with tortilla chips
I think we could have used more corn. I used my Onion slicer with the fine dicing blades so had even pieces of onion and jalapeno pepper. That worked well. I am not fond of cilantro, but used it anyway. Next time I might just use parsley. My sister gave me grief about using ITALIAN dressing, but I figured it had the same things you would normally put in for a salsa? Not spicy at all, just nice and fresh tasting. I think you can just use the ingredients in what ever amounts look right! You are all good cooks. jea MN

Bust Your Fears Apart with Tenacity.
Tenacity is not a word commonly talked about, yet it is the secret power behind achieving satisfaction of purpose. Let's face it, life can sometimes feel a little overwhelming! Modern living finds us constantly juggling careers, family, social life and other obligations. The pressure to be perfect can become so intense that in the process we set ourselves up for a fall resulting in chronic stress and anxiety.
Have you ever encountered a situation where you put everything in to meeting a deadline? You laboured and agonized over presenting a project in the best way possible, only to have someone point out your small failings, leaving you defeated and focusing on this one mishap. Instead of standing back, taking stock of the situation, you crumble. All you can digest in your brain is the one minor flaw, one spelling mistake, one misplaced comma. There are a million wonderful things you have brought together but that negative comment is ringing in your ears. Darn! There it is that dreaded "Fear of Failure" raising its ugly head.
Anxiety Has Devastating Consequences!
When our fear of failure sets in, this opens us up to the crippling effects of anxiety. Everything slides down into fear based thoughts laced with trauma. A gut churning feeling that is convinced that we are being monitored and judged. One of the greatest things humans fear is humiliation and when we feel that we are being judged and monitored then you can bet your socks anxiety is going to go into over drive.
I see the devastating consequences of anxiety every day. People walking the razors edge trying to obtain perfectionism driven by a severe fear of failing. We talk, develop skills and strategies for taking back their life. Empowering them to meet their own needs and giving them a sense of security within themselves. The result is they see that the pressure they put on themselves is counterproductive.
"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." – Denis Waitley
I learnt a valuable lesson about failure many years ago. I used to be overcome with anxiety before a presentation. The fear of humiliation was firmly cemented in my head. This was the result of being slightly dyslexic. When I was in grade 2 I reversed a P in my spelling and I had to go and ask the preps what the letter was because I was too stupid to know. This one event influenced my fear of failure in all walks of life especially in my career. Until one day I decided 'this is crazy" as it was stopping me being authentic. So, I decided I would use the power of tenacity and face the fear. Tenacity is best described as "persistence of purpose".
Persistence of Purpose Overcomes All Obstacles.
My purpose was to help people understand themselves and to bring meaning and purpose to their daily tasks. I gave myself a little talking to, brushed myself off and implemented my top strength "Strategic" to develop a path through this anxiety I decided if I spell a word wrong I would have a contingency for that. I used the power pf tenacity, I ask who is a good speller in the audience. I then give them a whiteboard marker and they can come and change any word that is spelled incorrectly. As a consequence, I found that, I was no longer afraid of failing and in the process, I allowed others to contribute. More importantly my stress levels lowered, and that gut churning anxiety slipped silently away. From that experience I decided that to be tenacious was far more important than worrying about being humiliated.
Ant Wisdom.
"If an ant carries an object a hundred times its weight, you can carry burdens many times your size." ― Matshona Dhliwayo
Last week I was given the privilege of watching how tenacity can play out in seemingly hopeless situation.
We often have the occasional ant wandering around in the kitchen. On Friday though I spilt water on the bench and it formed this huge ocean which pretty well encircled a solitary ant. I watched as he faced this tsunami coming at him. Valiantly he raced the water, looking for an avenue to escape. Time and time again he was faced with the prospect of a watery grave. But he pushed on with admirable speed. He persisted, running along the boundary of water, resolute that he would find his way out. Finally, through his persistence he found the gap. How huge that obstacle must have appeared to this tiny being, yet he never gave up. What a hero's quest. What a beautiful example of when things are overwhelming press on.
After taking him outside I thought about his tenacity. I was allowing myself to sink into overwhelm with all that had to be done for our annual retreat workshop. I stopped what I was doing and smiled at the little ant with a huge heart and faith in himself. Nature is amazingly adaptable, so I adapted my attitude and joyfully completed the project
"Like an ant, I will find my way round any obstacle. Like a child, I will persevere with pinpoint focus." ― Chris Murray, The Extremely Successful Salesman's Club
My little ant encounter came at the right time to remind me that joy comes from having an attitude of service. Tenacity looks past the obstacles in your path and searches for a successful outcome. Being tenacious helps you push through your fears. It lets criticism wash off you, allowing you, like the ant, to press on knowing that you will find the way.
Knowing that when things come at you from all quarters it gives you to opportunity to access the strength to handle it and take the considered approach rather than letting emotions drain your energy. So, loving the lesson one little ant took the time to teach me.
Next time you are faced with a situation that causes anxiety and fear of failure to raise their heads just think about how tenacity can give you the edge. As a consequence, like the ant you will find your inner strength to tenaciously achieve your goal.

Satiate your wanderlust with this new party series that takes you around the world
First stop: Japan
While most brunch parties are reserved for Sunday afternoons as a bash to sorta recover from the high the night before, the rooftop bar of Bay Hotel Singapore is throwing one on a Friday and Saturday evening instead—so you can properly let your hair down under the cool night sky.
The very first edition of the new Wanderlust Party Series held at Propeller takes guests on a journey to Japan, in sync with the country's cherry blossom season. Held over two days from Mar 29-30, the $108 nett entry fee will grant you the next best thing to actually being in Tokyo.
For three hours, you'll get to enjoy free-flowing sake, Roku gin, highball, Kirin beer and a special Meiji Shines cocktail made using a sake base. And of course, there'll be a proper buffet spread too. Feast on fresh sashimi and premium wagyu at the sushi and live carving stations, as well as hot favourites like mentaiko pasta, tempura, chicken karaage, mochi desserts and lots more.
Those really interested in knowing more about sake can attend a masterclass (only on Mar 30) as well for $20, where a sake sommelier will take guests through five premium bottlings in an intimate setting.
And what's a party without good music? On deck duty will be none other than DJ Stephen Day, dishing out the house and nu disco tunes that he's best known for, mixed in with some theme-appropriate Japanese waves to keep the vibe upbeat all night. Remember to keep a lookout for hanabi blossoming in the distance.
Wanderlust Party – Japan takes place Mar 29-30, 7pm-10pm at Propeller. Sake masterclass only on Mar 30, 6pm-7pm.

If there is one specific thing everyone must add to their bucket list no questions asked, it would be seeing the Northern Lights. Northern Lights aka Aurora Borealis is natural colorful light phenomena displayed in arctic regions. Colorful dust appear as magical dancing lights in the sky when particles from solar wind come into the earth's atmosphere.
Not all places are equally good for seeing these beautiful lights, so we have recommended some places to see northern lights. You should remember three basic requirements for viewing: night time, cold weather and far from the city lights. It's important to remember to wear warm clothes and bring hot drinks with you because the phenomena is usually seen in the winter months in the arctic when it's cold, snowy and windy.
Hotel Kakslauttanen, Finland
This hotel situated in Finland's Lapland is known for its beautiful glass igloos. You can see northern lights sleeping in your warm and comfortable bed through the glass roof. Kakslauttanen is one of the best Aurora Borealis sighting places in Europe with eight months of aurora season.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland
Iceland has many beautiful northern light spots where you can look for the phenomena for eight months every year, from September to mid April. However, one of the most popular places is Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Who wouldn't like to see beautiful lights above a large glacier lake?
Svalbard, Norway
The farther north you go, the better chance you will get to see northern lights. One of the best places in our list is Svalbard in Norway. While Svalbard is a place of true arctic wilderness where polar bears outnumber people, there are established tours for adventurous aurora hunters. These islands located midway between Norway and the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean are the only place on the planet where you can see the aurora even in the daytime. Winter time in Svalbard is full darkness due to Polar Night and that means 24 hours of possible Aurora Borealis sightings every day! Only down side: you will not see the sun while visiting if you go during the three winter months.
Anywhere in Greenland
Northern lights aren't monopolized by Europeans. You can see them from any (northern) arctic part of the world. Greenland is blessed with beautiful arctic nature and you can experience Aurora Borealis in every part of the country. Just keep your eyes open and find a dark part far away from city lights. The best time to go northern light hunting in Greenland is in the months between September and April.
Takhini Hot Springs, Canada
Soak in hot springs while you enjoy the beautiful northern lights. Canada knows how to spoil the Aurora Borealis tourists. Visit Takhini Hot Springs in Canada's northern lights tourism area, Yukon. Whil you are at it, why not learn more about the science behind this natural light miracle in Watson Lake's Northern Lights Space & Science Centre.
Þingvellir National Park, Iceland
This national park in Iceland is also UNESCO Heritage site and that should further convince you that this place will be perfect for seeing northern lights. Find a spot facing to north and situate yourself close the Þingvallavatn lake. Then you just have to wait and hope, so taking a lot of warm clothes is recommended.
Sólheimasandur Beach, Iceland
Fancy something different from the normal snow, ice and Aurora Borealis experience? Iceland may have just the right place for you to go northern light chasing. This 40 years old crashed plane in black sand beach is one of the most photographed sights in Iceland so seeing it under northern lights is like winning the lottery. The plane is located in Sólheimasandur Beach on Iceland's south coast and it may be hard to find if you don't know the right way. Seeing the beautiful combination of nature's own miracle and plane abandoned by humans is worth the effort you have to go through to get there.
Inishowen (or other north cities), Ireland
Ireland is situated on the edge or Aurora Borealis zone so light chasing there is going to be a gamble, requiring luck and timing. However, the experience of seeing northern lights in Ireland is a very different one from seeing them in arctic countries with snow and ice. If you are travelling to Northern Ireland, take a peek towards the north at night. You may be lucky enough to see the dancing lights above bare wild lands and sea.
From An Airplane
The last, and perhaps most unique, way of viewing the aurora is also the hardest one to accomplish. You will need good luck, proper planning and a window seat in plane. The altitude of your flight will take you above the light pollution of the cities and give a totally different perspective if you are lucky enough to see the amazing light show of the Aurora Borealis. If you take a night flight to or from an arctic area during winter months, you may have the chance to see the beautiful light phenomena from a plane. If you don't believe in luck but have a few extra pennies to spend, some arctic airlines rent planes to those who are desperate to see northern lights. Just keep in mind that it's an expensive way to see nature's own miracle that is usually free for everyone.
The Aurora Borealis is one of the world's most awe-inspiring sights. If you have the chance to travel far enough north to see the aurora, and are lucky enough to be treated to nature's light show, you will never forget it.

Angela Thorpe, acting director of the North Carolina African American Heritage Commission, has a lot to be thankful about Hollywood.
The release and popularity of the movie "Green Book" has made it a lot easier for her to advocate for, and talk about NCAAHC's Green Books Oasis Spaces project.
In the movie, a working class Italian-American with a few prejudices of his own hires himself out to be the driver for an African-American classical pianist who is taking his show through a decidedly segregated 1960s South.
Their guide as they travel is the Green Book, an annual publication that listed restaurants, hotels and other businesses that were willing to cater to blacks.
Thorpe talked about the Green Book and its entries for New Bern at a recent Lunch and Learn hosted by the New Bern Historical Society. Thorpe said her commission – "There are two of us. Not very many people for such a big name" – has been tracking down the hundreds of places across the state that appeared in the publication when it ran from 1936 to 1966. Most of those places are gone.
New Bern had three listed, and two of them still stand:
• Palm Garden, a colored-owned restaurant near Five Points at 192 Broad Street, owned by George Downing and Walter A. Godette, is the one not still standing.
"George also owned Down East Café at 193 Broad," apparently next door, she said.
• The Rhone Hotel, at 42 Queen Street (now 512 Queen Street) which now serves as an apartment house. The hotel was built by the three Rhone sisters, Charlotte, Carrie and Harriet in 1923 to cater to blacks who arrived in the city by train – the station is just down the street.
It was rare for blacks to own hotels, she said, "so this is incredibly special." The hotel, she said, broke many social barriers.
•The third was the H. C. Sparrow Tourist Home, built by Henry Clain Sparrow. A prominent and well-to-do black, Sparrow was a brick layer. 'His brick was work almost exclusively for white customers," Thorpe said, though he is said to have done the brick work for St. Peter's AME Zion church.
His home was not actually a hotel, but he did rent out rooms to traveling blacks, hence the "Tourist Home" title.
The home stands at 731 West Street.
Thorpe said the Green Book was originally started by a New York City postman named Victor Hugo Green in 1936. "He got tired of encountering embarrassment as he traveled New York City because he was black," she said. And so he began scouting places that catered to blacks and placed them in the book so other African Americans wouldn't have to worry about the embarrassment and humiliation of being turned away from businesses that wouldn't serve them.
The book quickly spread, and he used other mail carriers to gather information.
The Green Book was sold at numerous locations and had a contract with Esso gas stations that gave it higher visibility. Most states had a Green Book edition, and special editions were also printed for countries such as Canada, Mexico, Haiti, France and Guatemala. "And so this showed there was racism beyond just the U.S.," she said.
The popularity of the Green Book was also due to a growing popularity for families to travel with the rise of the automobile. Because there were no interstates, travelers would have to go through many towns when they were on the road.
The Green Book didn't warn of "sunset towns" – towns where blacks were not allowed to enter after sundown, but word of those spread by mouth.
Many businesses in the Green Book were owned by whites, she said, though none of the New Bern sites were.
She said the Green Book wasn't always accurate with addresses and sometimes didn't even include them. It would, rather, give an intersection or name a store or place where the travel could find the location once they arrived in the right town.
She said that New Bern's having two of its three Green Book entries still standing is remarkable, since so many statewide are gone. "In Charlotte, of 53 listed only four are still standing," she said by way of comparison.
Thorpe said most editions of the Green Book can be found on line by Googling; she added that the New York Public Library has a large digitized collection of them.
As to Project Green Books Oasis Spaces, she said the 326 sites statewide are being carefully researched. She is collecting both information and artifacts and is holding meetings in numerous towns for that purpose. Beginning in March, 2020, a traveling exhibition is expected to be presented along with an interactive website.
"We're trying to fill in the gaps," she said. "What are their stories? Are the descendants still alive? Who were the people who patronized the businesses? We want to do oral histories and find archival material and 3-D objects."

I came across with the problem of getting checkbox value.
The current CheckBox implementation implies that only boolean values are
expected, coupled with "checked" attribute.
But I wanted to get the value other than boolean, like the primary key of
the database table. I expected the html tag as bellow:
<input name="optionalanswer" type="checkbox" id="form_optionalanswer"
value="ANSWER1" checked="checked"/>
I think checkbox value should not go together with the "checked" toggle status,
so it would not be necessary to override getValue(), setValue() etc. methods.

Mexican-themed bars now routinely stock 70 to 90 (sometimes more than 100) tequilas and mezcals. Whiskey bars compete for the limited releases, the rarities and the oddballs. Tiki-themed and other tropical bars make sure they carry plenty of rums, both popular and obscure.
That's the way of the spirits world today: Investing enormous sums into inventory that makes a name for an operation as a spirits specialist. It's rare, therefore, to find a place that specializes in a spirit that only a handful of bars and restaurants carry.
But at Ambar, the nation's capital's first Balkan restaurant, they've added 19 new bottles of rakia, Balkan fruit brandy which is probably best known for the plum variety called slivovitz. However, rakia is also produced using apricots, cherries, pears, peaches, grapes, figs, quince, and raspberry, and is also at times flavored with herbs, spices or honey. Ambar can, at any given time, have more than 50 different bottlings on hand. To make certain their rakia doesn't simply sit around collecting dust, they have embraced a promotion that is both effective and an old favorite: the tasting card.
Ambar offers them as part of their Rakia Tasting Challenge, during which guests can work on filling out their rakia tasting card over six months. Those who successfully sample 1.5 ounces of all 52 rakia varieties Ambar offers are eligible to win their own special bottle. Rakia ranges in price from $8 to $12 and there are incentives along the way, such as tiered prize levels. For example, once 10 rakia tastings are complete, the guest receives a complimentary 1.5-ounce pour of rakia. Upon the completion of 20 rakia tastings the guest receives another complimentary pour. If they achieve 52 rakia tastings the guest will receive a personalized 750ml rakia bottle, which will be stored in a private locker (complete with a nametag) to be enjoyed at the restaurant. Guests can select the flavor of their choice based on availability.
Do promotions like these bring in new customers? Perhaps, particularly if new customers bring friends in with them to participate in the promotion. More likely, however, it works as a reward for regular customers and those with a taste for whatever spirit you carry in large quantities. Rakia may not be something you can sell in your market, but promotions like these are a surefire way to make sure your inventory works for you.

HEXI has been involved in the development of Experience Led Commissioning (ELC) in partnership with Georgina Craig Associates. ELC is a programme-based approach to commissioning that uses a range of person-centred planning processes and builds on an experience-based co-design. Each programme is underpinned by insights drawn from secondary analysis of interview data collected by the University of Oxford's Health Experience Research Group (HERG), which acts as a benchmark for local data and insights gathered through the commissioning process.
A pilot project to test the approach with Healthworks Clinical Commissioning Group in Sandwell and West Birmingham, using interview data on end of life care was carried out, funded by the Department of Health. The pilot was independently evaluated by the University of Westminster, the results of which are available here.
The ELC approach has won a number of national awards, including the 2011 NHS Alliance Acorn Award for Patient and Public Involvement, a Patient Experience Network National Award (Strengthening the Foundation) in 2011 for its end of life programme with Healthworks, and the Patient Experience Network National Award (Person Centred Care) in 2012 for its stroke prevention work with Durham Dales and Easington (DDES) CCG.
