Olympic, World and European Ice Dance champion, Christopher Colin Dean was raised in Calverton during the 1960's and 70's. He was educated at two of the village schools.
Former Occupation(s):
Timmermans Roses Employee & Policeman (1974-1980)
Christopher grew up in the village of Calverton, Nottinghamshire.
When he was six, his mother left and another woman took her place. Dean never talked about this with his father or stepmother, both of whom have died. He has regained contact with his mother.
After taking up Ice Skating, in his youth, Chris went on to achieve Medal after Medal.
Christopher Dean began to skate at the age of 10 after he received a pair of skates as a Christmas present. His parents were keen ballroom dancers. At school he was captain of the football team and he saw ice skating as a sport that was athletic and graceful. Dean's first ice partner was Sandra Elson. They began skating together when he was 14 and competed as ice dancers for a few years under their instructor Len Sayward. However, despite becoming British Junior Dance champions, the team parted, as Dean and Elson did not get along well. Dean then agreed to try out Jayne Torvill, another skater at the Nottingham rink. The pair were first coached by Janet Sawbridge but in 1978 Betty Callaway became their coach.
Young Chris.
A very young Christopher . . .
With an early dance partner
Parents, Colin and Mavis.
He left school at age 16 and joined the Nottingham Police Force in 1974. It was challenging for him to undergo police cadet training, as his schedule often clashed with his skating training sessions. Thus Torvill and Dean had to practise during his off-hours. These difficult times brought them closer and gave them a sense of discipline that was to prove vital throughout their career.
By 1980, Torvill and Dean had progressed to not only become British National Dance Champions but were in medal contention in international competitions as well. It was then that Chris realised he could no longer balance his skating and police careers, and he resigned from the police force. Torvill soon left her job as well. Dean also served as the chief choreographer for the Torvill and Dean team.
Torvill and Dean's free program at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, performed to the music of Maurice Ravel's
, became world famous. They received nine 6.0 marks for artistic impression, (three more for technical merit for a total of twelve 6.0 marks) the highest possible score and the only time ever that an all-perfect score was achieved. It was one of the most popular achievements in the history of British sport, watched by a British television audience of 24 million people. Since the time limit was four minutes and ten seconds and their music was four minutes 28 seconds, they moved their bodies to the music for 18 seconds before starting to skate.
Torvill and Dean turned professional after their 1984 Olympic win. Under then existing Olympic Games rules as professionals they became ineligible to participate in Olympic competition. In 1993 the International Skating Union relaxed the rules for professional skaters, allowing the pair to participate in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer where they won a bronze medal.
Torvill and Dean were admitted to the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1989.
In January 2006, Torvill and Dean began starring in the ITV show Dancing on Ice. Each year, the show runs from January to March and then goes on tour to arenas across the United Kingdom.
In January 2012, Dean said he was open to working with the National Ice Skating Association to help British competitive skating. Torvill and Dean were ambassadors for the 2012 European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield, England. In February 2014, they visited Sarajevo for the 30th anniversary of the 1984 Olympics, and recreated their Bolero routine in the same arena where they won the gold.

The rock-church of Madonna de Idris was carved out of the rock face and partly rebuilt after the barrel vault collapsed some time before the beginning of the C14th. A small bell-tower rises from the building, lending balance to the complex. The church continued to function as a place of worship on certain feast days, until the 1940s.
The interior is extremely plain, with no architectural features worthy of note. The walls of the crypt were once richly covered with frescoes, some of which deteriorated through lack of attention and others were removed in the early 1970s by the Sovrintendenza per I Beni Storici ed Artistici (the Government body responsible for the country's historical and artistic heritage) because they were in an appalling state of conservation and because of the high degree of humidity inside the church.
The C17th Madonna and Child on the altar is painted in tempera, a medium in which the colours were blended with gluey water, milk or egg white. The water pitchers on either side of them were known as idrie, which accounts for the Idris in the church's name.
On the right there is a fresco of St. Eustachius, patron saint of the city and much venerated by the Materans, at the moment of his legendary conversion when, while out hunting, he espied a stag with a golden cross between its antlers. There is a stained glass window of this scene in the Cathedral and it is a subject that is repeated in frescoes in several rock-churches around the Sassi and the Murgia. On the right of this particular fresco, there is a painting of a Crib and St. Anthony, all of which date from the C17th.
Further along on the right, past the corner, there is rather crude crucifixion, interesting nevertheless because the outline of the ancient town of Matera is shown in the background. Below, the aperture of an ancient tank.
On the left of the altar is a painting of Our Lady of the Annunciation and on the wall next to that, on the left, is a badly decayed fresco of St Michael the Archangel trampling on the Devil, which is interesting in that the Devil is not depicted as a serpent as is more usual, but has human features.

Dear Kay,
As the holidays are upon us, here's a very random list of things that are making me smile.
1. Joseph's bar mitzvah. Kay, seeing your 13 year old standing up in front of a huge crowd, doing that ancient thing, was tremendous. And to see you being such a menschy mom was likewise totally overwhelming. (Your hair was having a particularly good day, too.) (Also those shoes were great.) (Lunch was delicious.)
2. Snowflake Brenda sold out of snowflakes.
3. Finding the right yarn for the right project. I swatched for Kate Davies's Boreal using handspun alpaca from an alpaca named Henrietta. It is beautiful stuff, but even as I swatched, I was troubled by the lack of match with the other yarn I'm using, Tess' Designer Yarns Grand Manan. Henrietta is slightly thinner stuff; she would not have Fair Isled happily with the chunkier gray. I don't want to go all mixed media on this sweater. I want it to look Not Warbly And Weird.
A couple of skeins of undyed Grand Manan magically appeared in my mailbox.
It's so pristine and smooth, unlike the gray that was fighting a Rhinebeck of attention back when I rescued it. I expect the cream yarn will puff up once it's washed and blocked. I mean: it's the same dang yarn, right?
I'm working the Fair Isle inside out, so that the floats have to travel a teeny bit further between stitches, thus making pinched Fair Isle less likely. Nobody wants pinched Fair Isle.
4. Our first natural gas bill since The Great Geothermal Experiment began. Waiting for these results is the middle-aged woman's equivalent of waiting for SAT scores.
68% lower than last December. WE'RE GOING TO YALE! That's 170 therms less than last December. A therm is 100,000 BTUs. Units of energy. (I just learned what a therm is. Probably should have learned this a long time ago.) Not to be confused with thrums, which happen on mittens mostly.
Now, our electric bill hasn't shown up yet, and it will be higher because the heat pump runs on electricity. So things won't be quite as dramatic as that awesome chart up there. But at least we're using fewer therms, somewhere, somehow.
By the way, I am encouraged that our heat still feels exactly like heat. It's not like going vegetarian and discovering that baked tofu doesn't really taste like baked ham. (Note: I LOVE TOFU. NOT BASHING TOFU!)
5. More daylight every day from now until June.
6. That feeling of beginning to slow down. I hope you have a day or two of doing exactly nothing, or whatever it is you'd like to do.
7. Gratitude to everybody who comes by our blog. I wish we had a giant room somewhere where we could all hang out whenever we felt like it. Oh wait–that's what the Internet IS.
Love, cheers, and I'll be back after the new year,
Dear Kay,

Guest Post : Sofie from German Foodie featuring Zitronenkuchen
Every Mondays and Fridays of June and July we will be featuring some my favourite food bloggers for the first time here at Ang Sarap. These bloggers are exceptional and served as a big influence of what is Ang Sarap now, so please do visit and follow every one of them (if you haven't yet) and I will assure you that you won't be disappointed.
Our guest for today is Sofie from German Foodie
If there is one nationality that is rare in this blogging world then it might be the Germans, (at least for me) I can say that because in my nearly 3 years of blogging Sofie is the only German food blogger that I had met. Is it because Germans have better things to do like perfecting machineries up to high standards, Are they busy brewing really nice beers? Are they not interested in food blogging? or don't they have fancy food to share the rest of the world? If you think it's the latter then you should stop by Sofie's blog as it is a treasure trove of excellent German dishes, just look at this Curry Wurst, this Apple Pancakes and this Pumkin Cheesecake, I am sure they taste good. I can attest to that as my mom cooks a lot of German food when I was younger (my step dad is German), I always remember her versions of Sauerbraten and Rindsrouladen, I also remember the good sausages I used to order in authentic German restaurants in the Philippines when I was learning my German.
Now if you haven't tried German cuisine because the cabbages and potatoes set you off but tried German Wursts or German Beers then I have some words of advice. If they can make their wursts and beer taste awesome like that, don't you think their dishes would be of higher standards as well? Well try it out and start searching for recipes that fancies you over to Sofie's blog, but before that lets all welcome Sofie.
I am an expat German living in Northeast Ohio, and blogging mostly about authentic German food and my own original recipes inspired by German food. Having grown up in the border region with France in a very cosmopolitan city, even for its size, I am also drawn to all sorts of ethnic recipes.
I have been baking ever since I could hold a spoon, and it is my great passion in life. I have somehow always baked. I love to explore and experiment, to create and yes, eat what I have created. I am not just a consummate baker; I like to cook as well, especially seasonally.
I have stated before I love the smell of citrus, and even more its taste. It's always refreshing, no matter what you add it to.
I therefore decided to make one of my favorite cakes for this guest post today. I am thrilled that my friend Raymund asked me to appear on his blog, and I hope you enjoy this cake as much as I have. Added benefit: it can be whipped up in a very short time, so if you're ever in a bind for a dessert, here you go!
- 350 g butter, at room temperature
- 350 g sugar
- 20 g lemon flavor
- 5 eggs
- 275 g all-purpose flour
- 120 g corn starch
- 10 g baking powder
- Glaze
- 250 g powdered sugar
- 7 tablespoons lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 355 F (180 C).
- Beat the butter on medium speed until smooth.
- Add sugar and lemon flavor while stirring on low speed.
- Add the eggs one by one and incorporate completely.
- Sift the flour, starch and baking powder together. Stir into the mixture in two portions by briefly stirring until just about incorporated.
- Grease a jelly roll or brownie pan and line it with paper. This step is very important as the cake has a tendency to stick to the pan more than others.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and mix with the lemon juice. It should be smooth, but not runny. Apply to the cake as hot as possible after you've taken it out of the pan.

Beautiful double-headed concert tom.
New Size Structure
After exhaustive study to determine the best size for this model specifically designed for concert use, Yamaha adopted a size structure based on the proportional relation between diameter and depth, which is "For every 1 inch increase in diameter, increase the depth by 1/2 inch." As a result, Yamaha designers successfully achieved the classical tone and lingering depth which is fundamentally different from that of existing concert toms.
Solving a conventional problem that tonal color and length of sustain differ between toms, the 9000 Series offers a perfect unity in tone and sustain as a whole set, which gives you a higher level of expressivity. This series also has a wide tuning range from high to low register to allow you to produce various types of sound that is required in orchestral music. The CT-9015 is a 15" double headed concert tom that will tune easily and perform at the highest levels.
YESS III Mounting System
How a tom and a stand are connected is a very important factor to determine the resonance and tonal color of the instrument. As the best mount system for CT-9000 series, Yamaha adopted the YESS II Mount System. This reflects the design concept of the Yamaha ultra-high-end drum set PHX series drum sets.
By putting the tom in a state close to "hanging in the air" as much as possible without holding it, this mount system minimizes the potential loss where the stand absorbs the instrument's vibration and succeeds to bring out tom tom's original fat tone with longer sustain. A shorten time lag between a point of attack and sound generation allows you to concentrate on your play more easily.
Sizes and Systems
Eight traditional sizes of single headed concert toms are offered in three traditional set-ups: CTG-6802 (6", 8", 10", 12" with two stands); CTG-0234 (10", 12", 13", 14", with two stands); CTG-3456 (13", 14", 15", 16", with two stands).
Air-Seal System Shells
The oak shells are produced utilizing the Air-Seal System. This process ensures that shells start round and stay round; an in-round shell tunes clearer and provides a pure fundamental tone.
Oak Shells
Oak shell offers a fat, dense tone and sharp, open resonance. In addition to these characteristics, longer sustain and quick response is provide by YESS III Mounting System, achieving a perfect balance between tone clarity and abundant sustain. Even when playing a high-speed passage or roll, you can deliver the slightest nuance to your audience.
- Beautiful tone and dynamic capability
- Beautiful design and finish
- Ruggedly made
- Affordable
- Shells: 6-ply oak shells produced with the Air-Seal System
- Rims: Dynahoop
- Finish: Darkwood stain
- Double Headed: REMO Coated ambassador (Batter); Ultra Clear (Bottom)
- Mount: YESS III Mounting System accepts Yamaha hex rod clamp arm
- Lugs: Zing alloy; 6" = 4 lugs; 8" = 5 lugs; 10", 12" and 13" = 6 lugs; 14", 15" and 16" = 8 lugs

Along with stripes (duh!), one of our favourite prints to wear is gingham and lucky for us, it's having a major fashion moment right now.
From shoes (yes, really!) to bags and everything in between, gingham has gone straight from the streets of Milan Fashion Week to our wardrobes, and we couldn't be happier.
However, with gingham and checks it's easy to look like you belong at a rodeo, so to save yourself looking like you should be riding a horse, we've rounded up four ways in which you can wear the print of the season in style.
Wearing any print is all about balance so you really can't go wrong with a gingham top. Wear with a pair of denim jeans and heels or sandals for the perfect springtime look.
Dress to impress with a little gingham number and you'll look like you belong on Rodeo Drive, and not at a rodeo! For the ultimate trans-seasonal look, wear yours with a pair of over the knee boots.
If you're not sure whether you can pull off the gingham trend (you totally can, by the way!), start slowly with a pair of gingham shoes. There's something to be said about a simple outfit with a pair of statement shoes. It's effortlessly chic.
Similarly to a pair of shoes, a gingham bag is an easy way to adopt this trend without committing to an entire outfit. The best thing about gingham is that it's usually in black or navy so it will go with any outfit you wear. Versatility is key!

What is Dianabol?
Metandienone, also known as methandienone or methandrostenolone, is an androgen and anabolic (AAS) medication which was banned and already not being used. Dianabol is also used non-medically for physique- and performance-enhancing purposes, which is taken by mouth.
Metandienone was originally developed by CIBA and marketed in Germany and the USA. Upon production of Dianabol by CIBA, metandienone became the first widely used AAS among professional and amateur athletes, and remains the most common orally active AAS for non-medical use.
Dianabol is very popular among bodybuilders. It is still manufactured in some Asian countries and can be purchased without prescription in few other countries, but it is controlled in the UK and USA.
Why was Dianabol banned?
Please understand that the banned D-bol was the Anabolic Dianabol Steroid, because it can be dangerous to users and has a high potential for side effects. We will discuss later in detail all about the different side effects of Dianabol.
On the other hand, D-Bal, a Legal Non-steroidal Dianabol is now available in the market, and in fact it is already popular in the bodybuilding community.
Read more below about D-Bal, the Powerful Legal Dianabol Alternative.

Which Subject Is The Most Boring?
5 comments:
I'd also ask which is more fictional.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous14 February 2011 at 20:19
All day on BBC News (mouth piece of New Labour): Big Society, Cuts, Big Society, Cuts, Big Society, Cuts, Big Society, Cuts.......etc.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm being brain-washed/bored to death.ReplyDelete
The cuts are real, cutting taxis for disabled schoolchidren, cutting bogs in Manchester, failing to clear snow and ice off the pavements, cutting the Armed Services to punish us for the coalition.ReplyDelete
I still don't understand the Big Society unless it is just an attempt to keep the state payroll down by funneling yet more funds into fake charities staffed by well remunerated flunkies and CEOs to carry out Govewrnment policy at arms length.Big Society = Fake Charities aka the Nu Quangocracy.

That pig just passed my kitchen window OR - he do get about in his tea half-hour...ReplyDelete
Every time I hear about cuts on the beeb beeb ceeb an internal switch is automatically thrown so that my BP doesn't hurtle skyward.
As banned so rightly points out, there ARE cuts, spiteful unnecessary party-political point-scoring cuts, but no reductions in public expenditure at all. In fact PE has increased EVERY MONTH since the Coagulation has been in office. But the gennal pubic is being blatantly guided and prodded by a partisan MSM.
Watch it Caratacus you are at 200/120 ... red alert!
Somebody far more erudite than I said that "The Big Society" will become the equivalent of Bliar's "Education, education, education".ReplyDelete

Dental care for Hurricane Harvey victims and a student-run clinic for disadvantaged children: These are some of the examples of the recipients of the ADA Foundation's E. "Bud" Tarrson Dental School Student Community Leadership Awards for the 2017-18 school year.
The Tarrson Awards recognize excellence in dental school student programs that provide services to underserved populations within the U.S. Each award is valued at $5,000. The ADA Foundation's Tarrson Fund was created in 2003 by Linda Tarrson in remembrance of her husband E. "Bud" Tarrson, longtime owner of the former John O. Butler Co. and oral health philanthropist. This year's six Tarrson Award recipients are:
Working directly with city officials and government medical relief agencies after Hurricane Harvey hit in August 2017, dental students at the University of Texas at Houston School of Dentistry coordinated care for displaced individuals suffering from acute dental pain. Student volunteers participated by assisting with patient registration, taking vitals and images, assisting faculty and residents chairside, and distributing oral hygiene kits, according to their application.
"Despite the great devastation of Hurricane Harvey, which affected some of our school's own family, we still came together to help those in need," said Dr. Kimberly S. Ruona, associate dean for patient care.
"Our mobile dental van was an integral component of the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts," she continued. "Individuals of all ages were able to obtain much needed treatment and pain relief in a comfortable setting during this stressful time. In addition, this opportunity allowed us to collaborate with the Disaster Medical Assistance Team, Red Cross and other healthcare professionals as we provided dental care for the shelter evacuees in downtown Houston. This project truly exemplified the depth of Houstonian hearts."
Students at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine also targeted those in need. ACTION (Action for Children and Teenagers in Oral Health Need) is a monthly student-run clinic that serves disadvantaged children in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, area.
"Our program is unique because it serves a vulnerable population in a self-sustaining model of care that exposes dental students to public health dentistry," said dental student Mindy Truong. "Our clinic sees an average of 22 patients per session and has totaled over 2,000 completed treatment visits since its inception. While we offer a wide range of restorative services, we focus on prevention of oral health disease through oral hygiene instruction, prophylaxis and fluoride and sealant application."

Impact of Clinical Pharmacy Services on Outcomes and Costs for Indigent Patients With Diabetes
Objectives: To provide a review of the outcomes and costs in patients seen by Clinical Pharmacy Specialist (CPS) Certified Diabetes Educators in ambulatory care for diabetes management.
Study Design: A retrospective chart review.
Methods: All patients discharged by a CPS for diabetes management between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013, were included.
Results: A total of 915 patients were discharged from CPS services. The majority of patients had type 2 diabetes (98.7%) and were female (63.1%), Hispanic (53.3%), and on average, were aged 56 years. The patients were seen by the CPS for approximately 5.3 face-to-face visits, and by their provider for 1.9 face-to-face visits. The average difference from baseline for glycated hemoglobin was –2.6%, while the average systolic and diastolic blood pressures improved by –8 mm Hg and –3 mm Hg, respectively. The major lipid parameters also reported improvement, averaging –23 mg/dL for total cholesterol, –54 mg/dL for triglycerides, –15 mg/dL for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, –23 mg/dL for non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C), and +0.8 mg/dL for HDL-C. Overall, the average difference from baseline to final visit for the numbers and costs of medications and diabetes supplies per patient increased slightly. Medication adherence also improved each year in patients with diabetes.
Conclusions: The CPSs directly impact patient care through improvements in clinical outcomes. They help patients achieve disease-state goals for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia through a variety of clinical interventions and by promoting medication adherence. These data demonstrate the significant positive impact to the institution that clinical pharmacy services have in diabetes management.
Am J Manag Care. 2016;22(4):e147-e152
Pharmacy administrators requested information regarding the benefit of clinical pharmacy services offered at this institution. At the end of each year, information on clinical pharmacy visits were tracked and reviewed for various outcomes, including but not limited to disease-state goals, medication adherence, pharmacy interventions, and overall medication cost. A report is generated and provided to administrators in the pharmacy department, as well as presented at the hospital institution's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee meetings and others to provide executive management with a review of the impact of pharmacy services offered. This article provides a review of the benefits of clinical pharmacy specialist services through improved outcomes and cost containment.Diabetes affects 25.8 million people in the United States; it is also the leading cause of kidney disease, amputations, and blindness, and a major cause of heart disease and strokes.1 Of the 25.8 million people diagnosed with diabetes in the United States, an estimated 1.8 million adults are living with diabetes in Texas.1,2 Parkland Health & Hospital System serves a large population of uninsured patients with diabetes in Dallas County. Currently, the pharmacy department employs 10 ambulatory care clinical pharmacy specialists (CPSs) who manage chronic diseases and provide drug therapy management under a collaborative practice agreement. Chronic diseases addressed include diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, anticoagulation, pain, thyroid disorders, heart failure, medication nonadherence, and polypharmacy.
Patients are seen by their primary care provider (PCP) and referred to a CPS for an assessment and management of their drug therapy. A typical visit with a CPS includes a detailed medication history, review of medication allergies and side effects, and review of clinical laboratory data. With this information, the CPS provides in-person management and addresses changes to diet and exercise, documents any improvements or changes in medication adherence, and modifies medication regimens as needed for the patient. Together with the patient, the CPS provides an individualized plan to develop behavioral modification goals that will improve diabetes outcomes. They also serve as instructors of Parkland's "Healthy Living with Diabetes" patient education program, recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA)3; this group of CPSs are also Certified Diabetes Educators.
Additionally, the CPSs participate in administrative duties within the pharmacy department to improve patient care in a cost-effective manner. This includes drug-use evaluations, nonformulary medication reviews, drug information consults, medication therapy management programs, Pharmacy and Therapeutics subcommittee responsibilities, and teaching pharmacy students, residents, and other healthcare professionals. Clinical research is also a major component of the CPS program, including coordinating research projects, presenting posters, and providing educational programs.
The presence of CPSs is not standard in many healthcare institutions; however, the prevalence of these clinical pharmacy positions is growing. In order to demonstrate the benefit of clinical pharmacy services, the CPS group began in 2009 to review their annual outcomes, interventions, and medication costs. At the end of each year, various data on clinical outcomes, medication adherence, pharmacy interventions, and cost are collected and reviewed for patients who have been discharged from clinical pharmacy services performed by CPSs. A report is generated and provided to administrators in the pharmacy department, as well as presented at the institution's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee meetings and other meetings to provide a review of the impact of pharmacy services to executive management.
The purpose of this article is to provide a review of how the CPS demonstrates the benefit of pharmacy services through improved outcomes and cost containment in patients with diabetes in a large urban county healthcare system over a 4-year period (2010-2013).
Clinical outcomes related to diabetes and costs were also reported, including glycated hemoglobin (A1C), blood pressure (BP), lipid parameters, adherence to medications, and other standards of care measures.4-7 These were assessed at the initial visit and the last visit of each year for each patient. A paired 2-sample means t test using Analysis ToolPak version 14.0 (Microsoft Office Excel, Dallas, Texas) for the A1C was considered statistically significant at a P value of <.001. All interventions made by the CPS at each visit were collected, and included any medication changes, addition of aspirin, disease education, lifestyle education, identification of adverse drug events, ordering and interpreting laboratory data, smoking cessation education, pain management, immunizations, adherence counseling, use of adherence tools, and any referrals made for the patient.
The total number of medications and diabetes supplies were also reviewed at the initial and last intervention visits. Diabetes supplies included meter, strips, lancet device, lancets, alcohol prep pads, and syringes. The total cost of a 30-day supply of medications and diabetic supplies (using acquisition costs) was calculated at the initial visit and again at the last intervention visit for all patients discharged. Patients were noted to be adherent to therapy based on a review of the medication refill history from our pharmacy records in CERNER. Medication adherence was calculated as a ratio based on actual fills over expected fills for 3 months prior to the initial date of service, and was calculated again after the last intervention date. Patients were considered adherent to therapy if they met a value of 85%. The absolute difference in medication adherence was calculated to determine the improvements made by the patient at the time of discharge. There is a lack of clinical evidence and standards designating a certain threshold for adequate medication adherence, but this limit was used for the purposes of this analysis.8
A total of 915 patients were discharged from CPS services from 2010 to 2013. The average age of patients seen was 56 years. The majority of patients had type 2 diabetes (98.7%) and were female (63.1%) and Hispanic (53.3%). On average, patients were seen by CPSs for 7.7 months for 5.3 face-to-face visits. The PCP also saw the patient an average of 1.9 times during the CPS intervention period. From 2010 to 2013, a total of 2 patients presented to the ED for a diabetes-related event (both for hypoglycemia), and none of the patients were hospitalized during this time period (Table 19).
Clinical Outcomes
An average difference of –2.6% from initial to final visit for A1C was noted from 2010 to 2013 (Table 2). The percentage of patients with diabetes achieving an A1C less than 7% increased significantly each year: by –2.1% in 2010, –2.7% in 2011, –2.7% in 2012, and –3.1% in 2014 (P <.001) (Figure 1). In addition, the average systolic and diastolic BPs improved by –8 mm Hg and –4 mm Hg, respectively. Overall, the major lipid parameters improved, averaging –23 mg/dL for total cholesterol, –54 mg/dL for triglycerides, –15 mg/dL for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), –23 mg/dL for non–high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C), and +0.8 mg/dL for HDL-C (Table 2).
Medications, Adherence, and Cost
Overall, the average change in number of medications per patient from baseline to final visit increased slightly by about +0.3 medications, and the average cost increased by $1.07. The average change in the total number of diabetes supplies per patient from baseline to final visit increased slightly, by about 0.5 supplies, and the average cost of diabetes supplies increased by $4.59 (Table 2). The absolute difference in medication adherence improved at the time of discharge by 42.8% in 2010, 43.5% in 2011, 42.8% in 2012, and 49% in 2013.
Interventions and Preventative Measures
The top 5 interventions made by the CPSs included medication changes, disease-state education, ordering and interpreting lab orders, medication adherence, and referrals (Figure 2). The CPSs also ensured that patients were on medication therapies, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, statin therapy, and aspirin as recommended by the ADA guidelines.4-7 The CPSs made referrals for patients to receive their annual diabetic eye exams, foot exams, and nephropathy screenings as needed.
Additionally, CPSs improved patient medication adherence each year while containing costs of medications for the health system, noting only a small increase of 0.3 medications on average. The cost of 30-day diabetes supplies did increase slightly, by $4.59, which was most likely due to identifying more patients who needed diabetes testing supplies in order to perform self-monitoring of blood glucose. Through interventions made by the CPSs, these patients have consistently made significant improvements in adhering to their medication regimens. The CPSs help to enhance the collaborative approach in improving medication adherence that is needed for patients who are not following their medication regimens.8 In addition to improving medication adherence, the CPSs also adhere to the ADA standards of care measures for patients with diabetes. Through interventions such as medications changes, patient education, and drug therapy monitoring, ambulatory care CPSs have positively impacted the patients referred for diabetes management.

After the failure and internet was brought back up, my internet has been spiking every 10 seconds or so and makes playing games online impossible. My ISP claims there is nothing wrong with their service and everything is working (which i want to call BS on them) and I did a traceroute and every hop after my modem gets that consistent 10 second spike from 10-100ms to 500-1000ms then back down to normal. This doesnt effect normal internet usage but for online gaming, it kills every game as it will either 1. disconnect me, 2. spectate me for too much lag, 3. make it unplayable with horrible hopping and choppyness of players... Anyone have a solution as clearly my ISP will not provide me with a proper solution? My router networking setup is fine, so is there a way to check if it is the modem that is causing all of this problem? this is a cable modem btw.

Energy discounts in bill stir concern
Who ultimately pays for factories' lower rates unclear
A bill to provide special discounts for manufacturers on their power rates is raising questions about whether small businesses and homeowners would have to pay more so that certain factories can pay less.
Republican lawmakers are considering the discounts as a tool to help Wisconsin's economy grow.
The economic development rates bill, Assembly Bill 145, was introduced this month by Rep. John Klenke (R-Green Bay), a former executive at the trucking firm Schneider National. An Assembly committee held a hearing on the bill Wednesday.
The bill would expand a pilot program to offer a discount of up to $5 million over five years to Mercury Marine, the final piece of a more than $120 million state-and-local financing package that helped the engine maker decide not to move to Oklahoma.
"Everybody in the Legislature and the utility industry world does support economic development. That's hands down. But when it comes down to who pays for it, that's the question," said Dave Benforado, who runs Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin.
"If you believe that small business is the engine of growth in the economy, they will be paying for the economic development rate tool that will be used for large industrial customers," he said.
Alliant Energy Corp., which backs the bill, said it's important for the state to use economic development rates as a tool to help businesses grow and create jobs and to fan the economic recovery.
"When Wisconsin competes with other states for jobs, the fight is not whether those jobs will be created, but rather where those jobs will be located," said Scott Smith, Alliant director of regulatory affairs.
In addition, Alliant says the bill includes protections to limit the impact on other customers from providing discounts to factories.
Unintended consequences
Some lawmakers wonder if the proposal could have the unintended consequence of making it tougher for Wisconsin firms to compete if an out-of-state firm is wooed to Wisconsin with a cheaper rate than is paid by a competitor already doing business here.
At a hearing last week, Rep. Kevin Petersen (R-Waupaca) expressed concern that a foundry in his district could see a competitor come into the state and receive a discounted electric rate when the longtime local firm did not.
"Our goal is to make sure costs are not shifted onto residential and small-business customers from any discount provided to Mercury Marine," said Charlie Higley of the Citizens' Utility Board.
The bill is a priority for Madison-based Alliant, which serves parts of the state that were pummeled by the recession. Among Alliant's top customers that have closed their doors or scaled back are General Motors, Lear and other automotive suppliers in Janesville; Domtar in Port Edwards; Alcoa in Beloit; Thomas Products and Kohler Co. in Sheboygan; and Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac.
In 2009, Alliant was among several state utilities, including We Energies of Milwaukee, that raised power rates to help make up for lost electric sales from large customers.
As a result, the utility sees the need for this rate discount as a development tool to help keep the state's manufacturers competitive and attract new customers to replace those that have left.
"When the discount is used for job retention, we have determined that a typical discount will help our existing customers avoid the larger negative rate impacts that would occur if the customer left Wisconsin," Smith said.
Competitive edge lost
Versions of economic development rates are in place in other states, including Iowa and Michigan, said Todd Stuart, executive director of a group that represents energy-intensive manufacturers.
The members of Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group have seen rates rise in recent years, not only as utilities built power plants and power lines but also because of the decline in electric sales and the need for utilities to cover their fixed costs, Stuart said.
As utility costs have risen, the state's competitiveness against other states on energy costs has been threatened, Stuart said.
"Rates in Wisconsin have gone from relatively low to relatively high," he said. "High rates matter and can hinder economic development."
A key provision of the bill, he said, would be a stipulation that the Public Service Commission act within 90 days on a factory's application for a discounted rate.
In the case of Mercury Marine, a discount of up to $6 million for the company was proposed in 2009, when the outboard engine manufacturer was considering a move to Oklahoma. The company ended up receiving $122.7 million in state, county, federal stimulus and local funding, but Alliant's request for Mercury to receive a rate break has been pending at the Public Service Commission for eight months.
"An up or down decision should not take this long," said Stuart, who likes that the bill imposes a 90-day deadline for the PSC to decide the fate of a factory discount rate.
State Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) believes the bill will be revised to address concerns raised about the effect factory discounts may have on rates for other customers.
"We don't want to all of a sudden have grandma in South Milwaukee paying extra to subsidize some business," he said.
Correction: An earlier version of the chart comparing residential and industrial cost per kilowatt hour mistakenly was shown in dollars, rather than cents.

April 1, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
24th July 2015
Pensions scams have risen since the introduction of new freedoms that make it easier for retirees to get their hands on their pension cash.
Pension advisers Portal Financial has reported 11 scam pension companies to Google this year and said the freedoms have encouraged more scammers to try their luck.
Under the pension freedoms those aged 55 and over can access their pension as cash but some companies are offering those under the age of 55 access to their money. The companies offering these activities often appear in Google's search results, including paid advertisements that increase the likelihood of the public seeing the advert.
Jamie Smith-Thompson, managing director at Portal Financial, said: 'People need to be diligent in checking that firms are regulated. This year alone we have reported 11 companies to Google in the hope that their adverts are removed, and we have done this in the past as well.
'Firms offering scams often sound very convincing and some even have customer reviews, but it's important to look closely –they usually say they are not Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated. If they do not display an FCA number then they are not regulated.'
If a consumer finds an unregulated website offering financial advice, they should report them to Action Fraud.
'Unregulated firms cannot be reported on the FCA website, so many people often do not know what to do,' said Smith-Thompson. 'To help people report companies they believe to be running a scam, we have contacted Action Fraud, who have confirmed that people can report scams to them. Although scams are nothing new, the concern is retirees are an obvious target because they have easier access to their pensions than ever before.'
It is not true that "Unregulated firms cannot be reported on the FCA website". There is a dedicated page for this very purpose – http://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/protect-yourself/report-an-unauthorised-firm or consumers can ring the Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768.

Do You Still Need To Turn Characters Into Entity Numbers?
Hi there,
Here's Darío from Berlin. I work at Babbel as a marketing designer. I have to roll-out Newsletter across different markets, with different languages, and when I test the newsletters with Litmus I see they look good although I didn't change the special character (ã, ç, ê, ...) into entity numbers ( ã ç ê ...). Is still needed to change them? In case I have to, should I do it also in the alt text?
Thanks in advance for your time. Really looking forward to hearing from you!

It seems like an age since we last kicked a ball, treated to a week off last week due to us being knocked out of the FA Cup has me chomping at the bit for some football i actually care about. Since Norwich almost two weeks ago i have had to make do with some Champions League and Cup action, good as it was i cant wait to see us back.
The 12.45 kick off is a bit of a pain in the arse and i could complain about that for hours (as i have done here https://trentsetters.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/the-stand-against-modern-football/) but i shan't, lets get back to the matter at hand this weeks preview.
We have Stoke to look forward too if thats the right way to phrase it, people tend to look forward to Stoke as much as being kneed in the family jewels or visiting the dentist. Our record against the Potters has been decent since their promotion to the Premier League in 2007-2008. On the banks of the themes our record reads P4 W3 L1 the loss of course coming on a rainy night prior to the European Cup Final in a game its fair to say no one could be bothered with.
Stoke currently find themselves in 10th place which is respectable going on paper but not when looking at how active they always are in the transfer window. We see this activity every transfer window when some unlucky chump from Sky has to stand in a scene closely resembling the end of Sean Of The Dead somewhere in Stoke. Though the Potters currently stand ahead of us in the league their form has been somewhat patchy of late with just 4 points in the last 6. Il stick my neck out here, despite us being behind them in the league i will wager my dog we will finish above them come May.
The team news coming out of the Britannia camp is that Marc Wilson could make a return on Saturday following a broken leg, football manager legend Brek Shea is also in the match day squad, missing are Match of The Day pundit/Horse trainer Michael Owen and Cameron Jerome.
In terms of us we could see the return of Kieran Richardson who id like to see brought back in at left back. Again sadly we will be without Kerim Frei and Mahamadou Diarra.
In terms of my gut feeling for this game? It could go either way, we have the potential to hand out a good old fashioned spanking to someone and we are due doing it soon but we also have a tendency to be bullied out of games we really shouldn't be. Two reasonable performances against Manchester United and Norwich City have given me hope it could be the former, much as ever depends if the mercurial,languid, decadent crew Bryan and Berba fancy it which all too often they plainly don't.
Saturday really depends on how much we want it because one thing is guaranteed when playing Stoke they will fight tooth and nail for every ball. We fell victim to their competitiveness earlier in the season leading Jol to call Stoke a Rugby team which i feel is unfair, their uncompromising style is a credit to the Premier League and adds another dimension to the league. We need to match Stoke with high energy and high work rate so a lot depends on centre midfield pairing, personally i would like to be Sidwell and Frimpong who will both 'get into um'.
So see you all bright and early Saturday afternoon, lets hope we are all enjoying our pints back in the boozer watching The Jeff Stelling show come 3pm, YOU WHITES.

Numbers in a Row: An Iowa Number Book
by Patricia A. Pierce
There is more to love about Iowa than cornfields and livestock. It's true there are five pigs for every citizen in Iowa, but it is also home to the ice cream capital of the world and the place where trampolines were invented. Explore Iowa and find the National Farm Toy Museum, the Bily Clocks Museum and Snake Alley, the world's "crookedest" street. The birthplace of Eskimo Pies and bandleader Glenn Miller, Iowa is also where Ringling Brothers Circus got started under a clothesline tent. Red Delicious apples were invented by a farmer from Iowa, and the very first game of six-on-six girls basketball was played there, too. With lively text, engaging rhymes and appealing illustrations, Numbers in a Row makes the history of this great state real and relevant to children everywhere.

The Concord Displays Process
Crafting solutions that engage customers and enhance the retail experience, Concord Displays In-Store Solutions is your single-source partner for in-store merchandising, POP displays and retail signage. Ensuring your satisfaction with every project, we have refined our design and manufacturing process to efficiently and affordably meet each of your marketing objectives.
Initial Consultation
The first step toward producing a successful in-store merchandising program and supplying the best-possible finished product is to understand your objectives. We begin with an initial client consultation, where we discuss project timing, costs and budget parameters, materials preferences, program duration, design specifications and logistics. This in-depth meeting helps us kick-off the design phase with a full understanding of what you would like to accomplish.
Once our merchandising strategists have an understanding of your retail program requirements, our award-winning display designers begins to put ideas to paper. Working with your specific criteria or creating original, eye-catching designs for you to choose from, our team provides detailed sketches for design approval. If necessary, full-color renderings are also provided.
When the design phase is complete, Concord Displays supplies a working prototype for signature approval. We have the ability to create virtually any kind of prototype—from corrugated white samples to complex permanent display units using wire, wood, acrylic, PVC and foam. The completed prototype allows us to make any required design changes prior to the final production run. Conscious of your timeline, we can have many prototypes done within two weeks, and be in production within three weeks.
Twenty-five years ago, Concord Displays began as a pre-press and color separation company. Because of this expertise, we have the printing angle covered. We routinely use litho, digital and screen printing for many of the displays we produce, and our color matching ability is unparalleled. You can expect sharp, vibrant color on any of Concord Displays POS displays or merchandising signage.
Concord Displays in-house facility enables us to produce many point-of-purchase display and signage programs under our own roof; however, we have also established numerous trade partners over the years. These partners provide us with reliable, cost-effective options for specialty and overflow work that we are otherwise unable to produce. In order to become an approved partner of Concord Displays In-Store, each supplier must meet strict requirements with regard to service and quality control. This enables us to offer superior merchandising programs at a competitive price, every time.
For merchandising programs requiring assembly and packout, we have dedicated staff members who will assemble the display units and complete the fulfillment process. We will wafer-seal, poly-bag, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, box up, label and palletize to prepare for safe shipping.
Concord Displays can either drop ship to an individual location, or ship by truck or air to regional distribution centers. We also provide warehousing for just-in-time delivery service.

For Whitman, Requardt & Associates, their 100-year-old story of American growth starts with The Great Baltimore Fire.
After Baltimore City burned to the ground in 1904, it was surveyor Gustav Requardt, along with other Maryland heroes, who helped rebuild the crumbling underground sewer system. When it was complete, engineers and workers (and the mayor of the city) celebrated by holding a lunch in the massive diversion tunnel of the newly completed sewer.
It's stories like this—tales of engineering, construction, architectural and environmental impact—that define WRA.
Celebrating its centennial year, the firm came to idfive to build an online experience that chronicled this legacy. They had an amazing passion for their work, a strong vision of their company culture, and a five-pound book of photographs dating back to the 1920s.
"Don't lose it" was their initial direction.
We started the project by digging through history to find WRA's most significant projects and the societal demands that sparked them. With hundreds of decade-defining portfolio pieces to highlight, we built and curated a website that captures WRA's response to a growing nation—in images, in words, and in deeds.
Like the rollercoaster of time, the site carries us down and up, left and right, through decades, and through projects—society's call and WRA's response. From the early 1900's boomtown of Baltimore City struck down by a typhoid epidemic spiked by poor sanitation to the US space shuttle program's ambitious reach to touch the stars, WRA has been there to give progress a boost—with solutions ranging from developing a groundbreaking water filtration plant to creating state of the art facilities to keep NASA on top in the space race.
The site is a communication tool. More importantly, it's the story of American growth, told through the achievements of the designers and engineers at WRA who helped build it.
It's a story we were honored to tell.

The Xenophobia of Time?
30th May – 4th June 2017
Clerkenwell Gallery, London, United Kingdom
'The Xenophobia of Time?' is a week-long exhibition curated by Ying-Hsuan Tai exploring the pertinent issues of migration. It takes place in Clerkenwell Gallery, London from 30th May to 4th June 2017. Works by the artists Edwin Mingard, Nele Vos, Shao-Jie Lin and Ting-Ting Cheng examine the intricacies of a particularly uncertain future created by the processes of obtaining entry to a state, renewing a visa or gaining citizenship.
Migration has generally been seen only as a spatial process yet it is, in fact, also a temporal process. A large number of migrants have to spend extended periods in waiting. Waiting is a particular and peculiar experience of time. For both the economic and the displaced migrants this experience is only exacerbated. Unexplained delays, forever changing requirements and ambiguity in status create a seemingly eternal circle of hope and despair.
The exhibition comes from the urgency to visualise the veiled sides of migrant's experiences in this time of accelerating global migration. It contemplates the importance of art in responding to such issues, whilst asking of its abilities to interact with the public's way of seeing. All the works in the show examine the effects of prolonged waiting, the power of authorised documents and the will of those in control.
Shao-Jie Lin's 'A Passport to Everywhere' and 'Postcards from Nowhere' utilise used materials to rethink the freedom and restriction of border crossing. 'The Road On Which The Sun Never Sets' comprised of a poster from the EU referendum and a video that features those places from across the globe that share either a British-original name of district or a British-Monarch title of road. The video aims to take the viewers on a historical tour of the former British Empire highlighting similarities and contradictions between the past, present and possible future.
The interactive installation 'Citizenshop' by Nele Vos explores the multidimensional means of citizenship in a neoliberal world, pondering the contradictory question: What makes a good citizen?
Ting-Ting Cheng's reverse travel guide and performance 'How to get out of London in 30 days' reveals the imperialistic illusion constructed by mass media and the immigration policy of the British government in response to the growing xenophobic atmosphere.
The short film 'Break' by Edwin Mingard follows an immigrant as he collects the stories of other immigrants living in London as they question their identity and sense of belonging in the midst of protracted waiting.
The exhibition aims to raise a number of questions: Is waiting indicative of life? And if so, to what extent? If time does not deal in paper work, if time does not exclude, then who does?
Who is the xenophobic?

Artists Biography
London-based British artist Edwin Mingard works principally with moving image, making standalone artists' film and installations. He often takes on mainstream and accessible forms – documentary, music video, glossy magazine in order to engage with wide public rather than just art people and the gallery environment. The intertwining strands of technological and social change are central to Mingard's works, and of particular interest is the combined rise of computer processing power and the network that has happened within his own lifetime. His works has been commissioned by the BFI, RSA, Northern Film+Media, the Wellcome Trust, Film London and many other bodies, including academic institutions, public and independent arts organisations and festivals.
Berlin-based German designer, artist Nele Vos was educated at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London in MA Narrative Environments. In her work as a creative activist, she's interested in the meaning and alternative use of space in times of globalisation and migration. In here she explores the mental and physical borders of space and tries to make them visible through narrative techniques, provocation and participation. Nele's work has been recently published by View Point Magazine (London), Die Gestalten (Berlin), Volume Magazine (Amsterdam) and was till recently on show in the TATE Exchange Program 'Who are WE?' at Tate Modern Switch House.
London-based Taiwanese artist Shao-Jie Lin's practices consistently navigate his distinct poetic and imaginative sensibility toward anthropological and geopolitical concerns. His works applied digital media, installation, video and sculpture, focusing on the issue around border, mobility, equality and justice which Lin describe as a sort of 'Utopian speculation'. Lin's works has been exhibited recently in the group exhibitions 'Start-Up: Slow Accident', Nieuw Dakota Gallery (Amsterdam), 'Transit Border – A Way to Utopia?', Enclave Project Lab (London), 'Fair Booth Trial', Carousel London (London), he had also participated artist in residencies at Merz Barn (Lake District, UK) and Joya Arte + Ecología (Andalusia, Spain). Lin is currently studying his MFA Fine Arts degree at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Taiwanese artist Ting-Ting Cheng was educated at University of Westminster in MA Photographic Studies, and received MFA degree in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in 2012. Cheng's practice applied images, videos, sound, texts and objects to form installations or interventions, exploring the concept of foreignness, nationhood, immigration by examining languages, history and mass media. Her works has been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibition at Taipei Fine Art Museum, Galerie Grand Siècle (Taiwan), Identity Gallery (Hong Kong), Gallery Nomart (Japan), Addaya Art Centre, Luis Adelantado (Spain), Rowan Art (London) as well as group shows including Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architechture (Shenzen), III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art (Moscow), Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil (Sao Paulo), National Art Museum of China (Beijing). She had participated artist in residencies at Addaya Art Centre (Spain), GlogauAIR (Berlin), Zero Station (HCMC), Beatrice Tate School, Ben-Uri Museum (London), Xianger (Taiwan) and INIVA (London).

Toronto Flyer returns to the winner's stall
Apr 14, 2017
Toronto Flyer showed a nice return to form last week, with a win in the Class 1 Handicap over 1500m at Ipswich.
Having his seventeenth race start, the four year old had only managed to win the one race prior to last week, however trainer, Bruce Hill was confident that he was ready to win again.
The Rothesay gelding had been working well but just hadn't had things go his way in his previous few runs. It all fell into place for him at Ipswich, with a nice bit of give in the track and a nice tempo, where he was able to lead for the majority of the event. He kicked at the 600m mark, breaking away from the rest of the field and he fought strongly over the final 100m to hold off the fast finishing, Rose Of Woorim.
He will now head to Beaudesert on Anzac Day, to contest the Benchmark 62 Handicap over 1650m.

Clive James Clynick is a Treasure Hunter and Author of 14 books. The listeners of LTMDTH contacted Clive and asked him to come on. I have 5 or 6 of Clive's books and the concepts I learned helped me find my first ring and my first gold ring. In this episode, Clive tells us about his background and how he became interested in Metal Detecting, and started to find more gold and silver when he started water hunting.
Clive teaches treasure hunters where to search, how to search shorelines, how gold is lost, and where it eventually settles. He talks about developing the skills of observation, how he developed his body of knowledge through Mentors, like Terry Canton, who has found over 5000 gold items, and Jim Pugh of Biloxi Miss, manufacturer of Anchor Electronics Barracuda. Clive recommends acting like a sponge and gathering all the information you can.
Clives book Site-Reading for Gold and Silver is the only book of its kind in the world. It talks about the concepts of sand movement in relation to gold classification. He talks about the basic physics of where things come to rest in the dynamic enviroment of the shoreline. Learning the concept of classification of objects by their weight and density is key to finding gold and silver.
Clive talks about his dream detector project, the Minelab CTX 3030, Sovereign and Excaliber. OldeBeechnut, Joe Priest is putting together Clives Dream Detector a custom detector. It is made with a sword version of the Excalibur, 15′ Coil Tec Coil, and Skullies Headphones by Joe Priest. Pete Anderson is making an Aussie Wand for Clive's dream detector.
Clive also talks about what is the best size coil for a metal detector, and the advantages and disadvantages of large and small metal detecting coils, and recommends detectors for hunting the 1715 Fleet Beaches on the Treasure Coast.
We talk about Tony Dania with a background in music and audio engineering Tony released 'Basic Ear Training for Excalibur'. Clive recommends you practice with your detector trying to guess what the signal is before you dig it, as it is a key skill, and that observation is critical to increasing your finds. He also describes the gear needed to stay in the field metal detecting all day. Clive uses mostly pulse induction metal detectors.
