Hi ho, hi ho, it's off through the woods we go. First one is Sheppard and his expression is priceless, even though you can't see it.
Carter in charge
Carter turns to face Sheppard after he congratulates her on the promotion
Sheppard takes a break. No, wait, he's working. Really, honest!

Using PowerCADD and WildTools to add a Guideline
How do I add a
Guideline that matches a object already in my drawing?
- PowerCADD version 7, or 8 (8.1.2 or newer recommended)
- Mac OS? X (Leopard or Snow Leopard)
- WildTools version 8 or 9 (version 9 recommended
What To Do:
To use WildTools to insert a guideline into your drawing which matches the angle of an existing object, do this:
- Press
Optionand click on the WildTools Offset Line Tool. The following dialog box will appear:
- Set your dialog box preferences as shown above. Specifically set the offset to
Interactive(the bold arrow type symbol) and check the Place Guidelinesbox
- Click
OK. You'll be returned to the drawing window and the cursor will change to a TargetCursor
- Place the
TargetCursor over the object in the drawing you want the guideline to match (e.g. a Line)
- Start to drag away from that object. Note you'll see a guideline appear; now we need to snap that guideline back onto the object
- Press the
Skey (to invoke Surface Snapping) and drag your cursor back onto the object in (4) above.
- Observe: A red snap indicator appears to confirm you are snapping to the surface of the object.
- While continuing to press the
Skey, release the mouse button
- Result: a new guideline is inserted into the drawing which is precisely snapped to the surface of your source object
Note that this technique may used to create a guideline that matches the angle of any line or surface of an object such as the face of a polygon, rectangle or rotated rectangle.
We hope that helps

You want to know about the many aspects of roofing if you're going to switch out the roof on your house. You will pay for any bad choices you make. This about the roof that rests over your loved ones' heads. Keep reading this article to learn a little bit about what roofing is all about.
If you find out that your roof is leaking when the weather is bad, wait until things settle down before doing any repairs. Don't jeopardize your safety by going up on a wet roof. You will need good, dry conditions to find the damage and repair it properly. Therefore, don't climb on your roof until it quits raining and it is completely dry.
Don't think twice about replacing your shingles. You may think it's a good idea to hold off on fixing something, but the damage will only get worse with time. Taking care of problems with the shingles immediately will help you to save more money and a lot of problems down the road. If your roof is properly maintained, it will last quite a while.
Although your shingles can sometimes cause a leak to occur, you should check out your roof's foundation. If your home has dry rot in the outside walls, water can enter there. Look at every point of entry to make sure you fix the problem completely.
Make sure that you're secured in the right way anytime you're doing work on your roof. If you aren't secure, you are in danger of losing your balance and falling, which injures and kills thousands each year.
Be sure to ask many questions of your roofer before hiring him. If you are having shingle work done, ask the number of nails they typically use for each shingle. Three nails or less is generally considered inadequate. Ask them about the methods they use, and see if they give a good answer. If the answers are poor, move on asap.
Any salesman that has to use too much pressure to make a sale should be considered suspect and you should look for another. Once the salesman locks you into a contract, you and your home are at their mercy. This makes it essential to prevent being pressured into an agreement.
Find out about warranties from all contractors you are considering. You want a warranty that is going to last for at least 3-5 years. The contractor's warranty should cover faults due to both workmanship and part failure. A proper roofer should provide you with the manufacturer's warranties for all of the supplies he uses, too.
Confirm your contractor's credentials before he starts the job. Roofers should be licensed. Also check out their insurance and Workers' Compensation.
Ask roofing contractors about the type of warranty they have. One company may offer you a better warranty than another. On top of that, be sure to get the warranty and the estimate in writing, so you will have this information on hand. In that way, you can have all terms in writing, and can prevent disagreements going forward.
You should now have more information about roofing. You should have lots of confidence now. Select a proper contractor and ensure your roof is of the highest quality. Use these ideas as you begin planning.

One of the more difficult adjustments to digital photos is removing spots such as minor blemishes on a person's face or areas where dust on the lens or camera sensor is magnified into a full-blown splotch. To fix those problems, Photoshop Express uses a clever interface for sampling an area near the blemish and covering it.
- Click the Touchup tool in the sidebar.
- Locate an area you want to fix (it helps to zoom in) and position the mouse pointer over it.
Drag to specify the touchup area, indicated by a green circle (Figure 4.26). The pixels within that area will be covered.
Figure 4.26 Define a touchup area.
Release the mouse button when you've defined the area. Don't worry about getting the size just right; you can change it later.
Photoshop Express samples a nearby area (indicated by a red circle that appears) to cover the blemish (Figure 4.27).
Figure 4.27 Sample area.
- Click the green Save button (the checkmark) to apply the setting.
Edit the touchup
Remember, since these edits are non-destructive, you're not making permanent changes to the photo's pixels. You can fine tune the touchup you made.
The retouch controls disappear after you've made an edit, so position your mouse pointer over the area to make them visible again.
- To change the size of the retouch area, you have two choices: Move the Retouch Size slider, located above the image; or, position the mouse pointer over the edge of the green circle and then click and drag (Figure 4.28, next page).
Figure 4.28 Drag to resize touchup area.
- Click and drag in the middle of the retouch area to reposition it anywhere on the image.
- To change the source of the sample area, click and drag it to a new position (Figure 4.29). This capability lets you specify an area that more closely matches the tone and texture of the area you're retouching.

Are New Year resolutions a fad? It seems like nowadays, it's treated like one — more and more people don't bother with one anymore. No surprise, since most people fail their New Year's resolutions.
It's about time that changed for you — we got your back!
It's actually a greatly beneficial thing to set a New Year's resolution for yourself. You start off your new year with one, or several, real goals in mind, and this gives you direction and motivates you towards new heights.
Let's hop right into how to make your New Year's resolutions actually achievable this year.
#1: Set specific, measurable goals
The number one reason for people not meeting their New Year's resolution is due to making unspecific goals.
Lose weight! Pick up an instrument! Read more books! Use less social media!
All these so-called resolutions are simply too unspecific, which leads to them being more of a statement than an actual goal.
When setting a resolution, make sure your goal is specific and measurable. When you have a measurable outcome, you can trace your effort and progress towards that goal and stick to it better throughout the year.
A few examples of specific and measurable goals include:
- Lose 4% of my current body weight and increase muscle mass by 10%
- Pick up the guitar as a new instrument by investing 2 hours every weekend into it
- Read at least 2 books per month
With a quantifiable measure, these goals are definitely much clearer instead of being a vague resolution.
#2: Set realistic goals
When a goal is too big, or too bold, or simply too superficial, you simply risk being demotivated when you realize it's too far to achieve. You might also give up before even starting, because the goal may be too vast for you to even realize where to start.
Realistic goals are based on your current situation, not superficial goals plucked from an inspirational instagram post.
As an example, if you want to improve your financial situation, you could work towards getting a raise or promotion within the year, or find a new job with a percentage increase. Definitely not just saying "get rich this year".
Aspirations are good, but try keeping it real — you'll work harder towards a goal you can achieve, rather than a goal that only sounds good on paper.
#3: Track your progress
There are multiple goal trackers in the market that can easily help you with this, such as LifeTick and Strides.
By keeping track of your goal, you get to know whether you should put in more effort into it, or whether you're on track. It also keeps you motivated as you see the improvements you've made for yourself over the past months.
#4: Keep yourself organized
This is one of the key things to maintain a productive lifestyle for yourself.
Staying productive contributes a lot to achieving your New Year's resolutions, and it's not just about being productive at the goals. When you stay organized, you can focus and be more productive at all your tasks — which essentially means more time to work on your goals.
Some of the ways you can keep yourself organized is:
- Use a schedule to manage time effectively, like Google calendar.
- Maintain a neat environment. Tidy up if you have a messy surrounding.
- Use a to-do list like Bounty Tasker to keep track of tasks and goals.
#5: Create actionable plans
Taking real, step-by-step action towards your goals is vital towards actually achieving them, or else you risk staying stagnant. Once you have set your goals, start deciding on what you have to do towards your next milestone.
Lose weight? Maybe decide on a gym schedule that you can stick to. Learn music or art? Sign up for a lesson plan that you can commit.
But most importantly, write it down. Write down your goals, your plans, and that simple act alone will help you get started towards achieving it.
#6: Open up
Talk to others about your goals. Share with them about how you plan to achieve it, and why you wish to do so. You can also listen to theirs — if you manage to find a positive partner to share goals with, that would be the best.
Many of us fear being vocal about goals because of this thought: "What if I fail? I'd totally lose face and humiliate myself." Be bold and use it to motivate yourself instead. When you become vocal about your goals, you have increased commitment and motivation to actually achieve it.
Being vocal and opening up about your goals makes it real, rather than just a lingering thought in your mind.
#7: Find a partner or community
Finding a partner to work towards a goal together can be tremendous help. Look for an accountability partner that is working towards a similar goal to you to motivate each other towards the next milestone and keep each other committed.
Alternatively, you can look for a community that is invested in what you're working towards. It could be a community that could help you achieve your goal through tips and tricks, or a community of people that are working towards that goal. This not only helps you stick to your resolution, but also provides you with various tips that can help you improve and achieve your goal faster.
Now that you have what you need to know to achieve your goal, it's time to plan! Write down your goal and get started. We're right behind your back, so all the best in the New Year!

A good day for Thanney and Johnny at the Foundation today, as between them – bearing in mind that Thanney is one-handed, and Johnny's never done this sort of work before – they completed all the steelwork for the suspended ceiling, only to be held up by the non-appearance of an electrician…. he's needed to put wiring in above the ceiling tiles before the ceiling can be totally finished: the tiling of the floor should take a couple of days after the air conditioning is put in at the end of the week. The outside staircase will begin next Monday…. so, if everyone local does what they're contracted to do, the centre will be ready for handover on Sunday week, the scheduled date, and our last full day here…
…which is a miracle as I've said before as it amounts to around 6-7 working weeks from Thanney, these two here so far with the massive limitations of his broken hand!
It seems that the video link didn't work wherever I put it yesterday, so let's have another go here: https://www.facebook.com/jrm.301/videos/10155781383148149/
It works for me copying and pasting it, so give that a try! The building has advanced since Johnny shot this short film….
God's done wonders, though Thanney clearly suffers with his hand at the end of each day, he is determined not to let it stop him. Just like Johnny with his back… they're a great pair of guys, literally suffering for the Kingdom….
The loo doors make an amazing difference in the 'completed' look!
As does the incredibly complex 'meccano-like' structure for the suspended ceiling….
Thank you, Lord, for stretching the finance – the flooring guy reduced the amount he was going to charge by 1.8 million pesos (almost £500), and the air condtioning Thanney has managed to get down from 16 million pesos (£4,000) to 6 million (£1,500). We're still running about £1500 short with unexpected extras that 'crop up' as work nears its end.
And thank you, Lord, for multiplying the work of Thanney and Johnny's three hands to do the work of a dozen….
Tonight, after a 'Delhi-belly' night for Cathy – much disturbed, no further details!! – and after her blockbuster pre-Sozo session yesterday, she also won't let THAT stop her, and she and Dennis are in the city of Yumbo, delivering another similar session to the church/churches of my good friends Alex and Diana Betancurt. Lord, sustain her tonight after a night of no sleep and a day of feeling weak….and do MORE than you did yesterday!
They're out of the apartment at 7 am in the morning for a few hours with rehabilitating drug addicts in Dagua, high in the Andes, with my great pastor friend Francisco Riaños.

Tahmoh Penikett has spent over four years playing the loyal and brave Carl "Helo" Agathon on Sci Fi's hit Battlestar Galactica. The new season premieres Jan. 16 (10 pm/ET) and promises many surprises and twists along the way — including the revelation of the final Cylon in an early episode. Tahmoh is now working with none other than Buffy scribe Joss Whedon on his upcoming show, Dollhouse. (You must watch Dollhouse for his shirtless boxing scene alone!) Tahmoh stopped by to talk to Erin Fox about the emotional final episodes of Battlestar, as well his new character on Dollhouse — including why production was shut down. Be jealous BSG fans; Penikett even signed Erin's official Cylon toaster (seen in the background of the video... it makes real Cylon-imprinted toast)!

We are proud to combine our passion for animals with evidence based and best practices in physiotherapy, and specialized training in canine rehabilitation. It allows us to not help dogs recover from surgery, and also to improve their mobility and quality of life as they age as well as return to their daily walks and other activities after getting injured. Our rehab therapist holds a Masters of Science in Physiotherapy and has gone through extensive training in canine rehabilitation to be able to work in this field. Our model is to provide home visits which provides convenience for the pet owner, helpful home environment information to assist in rehab and has been successful with pets who cannot go to a clinic for rehab.
Even though we provide a mobile service, we follow a similar model to human healthcare where the physician establishes the need for therapy and manages any medical issues. In the canine world, this collaborative practice model allows us to ensure the dog is appropriate for rehab and helps us focus on what we are experts in: movement science, biomechanics, hands-on treatments, progressive exercise programs based on stages of healing, and customized a rehabilitation programs focusing on teaching the pet owners how to best help their dog. In this model communication is key and we keep in contact with our patients' veterinarians to keep you updated with their progress and, most importantly, to make sure that they are following-up with you should any medical issues arise.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at anytime with any questions or concerns you may have.

Arts and crafts are enjoyable because you can make beautiful projects from them. Arts and crafts projects encompass a large variety of options that will surely include something to tickle your fancy. This article will help you understand the topic better.
Do you want an awesome source for your craft materials? Lots of online outlets provide terrific prices on craft materials. Look online to locate the best deals out there on crafting supplies. Many stores have free shipping, too.
You can definitely make some use of old newspapers by helping to prevent damage from craft messes and spills. When you are finished with your project, recycle the newspaper.
Allow your child's creativity to determine how art projects turn out. Instead, let your child rely on his or her imagination and get creative. Let them glue an eye where an ear goes if they want to. It's the idea of them expressing creativity and imagination more than it is about doing something according to a specific model.
Create For Less is a website that offers basic crafting supplies. This service allows you to save money by purchasing in bulk. Additionally, they offer free shipping on order over one hundred dollars. Create For Less offers the best in scrap booking materials, yarn, beading materials and fabrics making it the perfect go-to place for all of your crafting needs.
Get your kids involved in any kind of arts and crafts activity you take part in. Children who develop such interests tend to do better in school and other places than those who don't. Teach your toddler to paint, or your teenager to sculpt, and you should see a noticeable difference in attention span and creativity.
Don't throw away any wire hangers! That wire can come in mighty handy with lots of different arts and crafts projects. Keep those hangers to the side. You can stretch them in all sorts of angles to create all sorts of fun shapes. Or you can use it as a way to bind pieces of a project together.
If you are passionate about your crafts, but don't know what to do with the finished products, consider selling them! You could easily and affordably be able to set up a table at a local market, or simply have a yard sale. This will help you perfect your craft, and possibly earn you some extra spending money as well.
Keep your glass jars from things like tomato sauces to the side. These small jars make for excellent containers for small arts and crafts items like buttons, marbles, and pebbles. You can see through the glass to know what's exactly inside. And don't throw away the lids either. They make for extra protection that your craft items stay all together.
If you are letting your little children use paste, remember to tell them that paste does not go in their mouths. Toddlers like to try everything to see how it tastes, and paste is toxic. Eating it can make your little one sick, and you don't want that to happen during crafts time.
Ensure that you have all necessary tools and materials before you begin a new projects. You do not want to end up not completing a project because you lack some necessary supply. Double check your supply list before you start your project for best results.
Look online for crafting supplies. There are many web retailers who offer great discounts on art and craft supplies. They often offer quantity discounts if you buy in bulk. Sometimes you can even catch a sale or a promotion for free shipping. So, keep your eyes open and look for web retailers for your craft supply needs.
When you do arts and crafts projects with your children, it can be so much fun and a wonderful bonding experience. It can also be quite messy, too. To keep your child's clothes from being covered with paint, use an old, over-sized tee shirt as an art apron. You can simply launder this makeshift apron, and reuse it over and over again.
Have some place to put the pets when arts and crafts are in progress. Cats are very curious and get into everything. Dogs are renown for scarfing down nearly anything dropped from a table. Make sure that your arts and crafts afternoon doesn't wind up with a trip to the vet, or worse.
Price out what a project will cost before you get into the middle of it. Sometimes an arts and crafts project can take on a mind of its own. What you thought would be a few dollars to make turns into dozens of dollars. Don't fall into sticker shock. Sit down and map out the costs.
Never dispose of the packaging of anything you buy. The packaging materials can be recycled and reused for different craft projects. Set a side a dedicated area like a box or a cabinet to store these items, and then look carefully through them when you have free time to think about what you can make.
To help your children make a memorable gift for Grandmom and Grandpop, buy a coffee mug that allows them to paint on it. The special paint pens give your kids a tool for leaving a permanent message or picture, and after you throw the mugs in the oven for a few hours, the images are there for life.
Sandpaper can help you make any object look used. If you are looking for a unique vintage look, polish your object with some sandpaper. You can create interesting textures by using different grains or not polishing the object evenly. You can even use the sandpaper after applying a coat of paint for a unique look.
When it comes to arts and crafts there's a lot to learn. The above article is a wonderful way to start. Your hobby dreams can come true when you put this knowledge to use. Eventually, you will make beautiful art in your spare time, and it's all because of this article.

Our work at Mama Glow is to improve the experience of birth for women everywhere.
We are changing the face of maternal health by empowering women at the threshold of change in their lives. We see birth as a unique opportunity to support and empower women as well as educate society about the innate strength of the female body and the sacred process of pregnancy and birth. We offer full spectrum support for fertility, birth clients and new mothers, holding their hands as they transition into this new phase of their lives. We seek to dismantle the stigmas and fears around the birth process for women. We also work to democratize birth support and have birth doulas available for every woman who desires one.
To that end we are thrilled to be hosting our final LEVEL 1 DOULA IMMERSION TRAINING PROGRAM of the season, August 17th-19th 2018. The 3-Day intensive will begin at 10am-6pm daily. We will lay the foundation of training for the next generation of birth workers who we hope will grow with Mama Glow. In this intense political climate where the future of women's health is uncertain, skilled birth workers are needed on the front lines. And with the growing black maternal mortality crisis, this is a critical moment to advance education and create more access to birth doulas. Birth activism is central to the pulse of our mission and training.
Our training is grounded in:
Activism + Advocacy
Ancestral Tradition + Ancient wisdom
Birth + Breastfeeding
Evidence-Based Research + the Ethereal
Mindfulness + Movement
Rhythm + Ritual
Sacred Anatomy + Sex
Self-Care + Spirituality
This program will include:
3 day Immersive Training
Doula meet-ups (in person + virtual)
Mentorship support
LEVEL 1 is the first step towards full MAMA GLOW DOULA certification. Beyond the Immersion weekend, doulas-in-training will need to complete mandatory coursework, reading, essays, attend mandatory LEVEL 1 Modules (in person or virtually) that support continuing education for doulas on the path to certification. After completion of LEVEL 2 you will be MAMA GLOW certified. LEVEL 2 will be hosted in October and this is the last course of the season that you can take to be eligible to attend LEVEL 2 in October. LEVEL 3 is our apprenticeship level for experienced doulas. LEVEL 1 will prepare newly minted doulas to begin working in all settings including in traditionally underserved communities.
Curriculum including continuing education modules will be reviewed at the training and questions are answered in Open House calls. Prelimenary reading list will available two weeks prior to when the immersion commences.
$495.00 weekend immersion + processing fees
$695.00 weekend immersion + deluxe doula swag bag + processing fees
Snacks, juices, water and tea will be provided during the course of the training.
MAMA GLOW IMMERSION LEVEL 1 training will be held in our new women's space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We are proud to welcome trainees of all ages and backgrounds from around the world.
Space is extremely limited. We look forward to welcoming you! Please enjoy our video below.

Correctional officers are responsible for overseeing individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial or who have been sentenced to serve time in jail or prison. Bailiffs, also known as marshals or court officers, are law enforcement officers who maintain safety and order in courtrooms. Their duties, which vary by location, include enforcing courtroom rules, assisting judges, guarding juries, delivering court documents, and providing general security for courthouses.
Correctional officers typically do the following:
Inside the prison or jail, correctional officers enforce rules and regulations. They maintain security by preventing disturbances, assaults, and escapes. They must also ensure the whereabouts of all inmates at all times.
On any given day, officers search inmates for contraband, such as weapons and drugs, settle disputes between inmates, and enforce discipline. Officers enforce regulations through effective communication and the use of progressive sanctions, which involve punishments such as loss of privileges. Sanctions are progressive in that they start out small for a lesser offense but become more severe for more serious offenses. In addition, officers may aid inmates in their rehabilitation by scheduling work assignments, counseling, and educational opportunities.
Correctional officers inspect facilities periodically. They check cells and other areas for unsanitary conditions, contraband, signs of a security breach (such as tampering with window bars and doors), and any other evidence of violations of the rules. Officers also inspect mail and visitors for prohibited items. They write reports and fill out daily logs detailing inmate behavior and anything else of note that occurred during their shift.
Correctional officers may have to restrain inmates in handcuffs and leg irons to escort them safely to and from cells and to see authorized visitors. Officers also escort prisoners between the institution where they are held and courtrooms, medical facilities, and other destinations.
Correctional officers must report any inmate who violates the rules. If a crime is committed within their institution or an inmate escapes, they help law enforcement authorities investigate and search for the escapee.
Because prisoners typically stay longer in state and federal prisons than in county jails, correctional officers in prisons get to know the people in their charge.
Correctional officers have no law enforcement responsibilities outside their place of work.

Essex Brokets: 2nd Willingale clan
Two separate but related Broket clans thrived in Willingale, near Chelmsford. Both clans began with a younger son who worked as an attorney at one of the Inns of Court in London. This second clan maintained close connections with London and younger children were usually Londoners.
Contents of this page:
1. Background
2. Generations 1-3
3. Generations 3-6
4. Memorial Inscriptions
The first clan sold its Willingale estate in 1634, but 54 years later it was bought back by a distant cousin. This second clan lived in Essex for over 2 centuries until 1906—albeit with 2 arrangements to preserve the name when the patriline died out.
Much more is known about the second Willingale Brocket clan:
- While the first clan was in Willingale for about 91 years, this second one occupied and/or owned Spains Hall for 208 years.
- While there are only 4 Wills from the first clan, 3 of which are very short, there are 12 from the second, several of which are long and detailed.
- From a lawsuit brought by one family member against others in 1747-8, comprising 12 depositions.
- Many of them lived most of their lives in London.
Memorials to generations of the clan from its 2nd century dominate the little church of St Andrews and All Saints in Willingale, suggesting how they dominated the life of the little village for 200 years.
Generations 1-3
John I was born 1649 in London, a younger son of a Charles Brockett, Citizen and Fishmonger of London. John I was admitted to the Middle Temple in 1672. According to his daughters he was 'by profession an Attorney but chiefly followed the practice of a Solicitor in the Court of Chancery'.1 Being an Attorney was one of the fastest ways to make money in late 17th- and early 18th-century Britain and many of those trained at one of the Inns of Court were able to retire to a rural property purchased from the profits of their business.2 This applied to John who became known as both Gent and Esq. In 1688 he bought the Manor of Torrells Hall followed by the Manor of Willingale Spain in 1698. He died in or about June 17043 aged c 55.
On 4 Apr the year that he was admitted to the Middle Temple he was married at the Temple Church to Sarah dau of John HERNE Gent of Cliffords Inn, an Inn of Chancery. The 1860 Gateshead pedigree describes Sarah as his heiress. No records of her father have yet been found, but she would have brought wealth to the marriage. Her sister, married to a Mr Spyre, died a wealthy woman. Her estate passed to John I in 1700 as executor and residuary legatee and was valued at £1500.4 £300 of it had been left to her sister Sarah, John's wife, and it is a sign of the times that John did not pass this to his wife except through his Will.5 Their children also each received legacies from Aunt Spyre—except Penelope and Richard who alledgedly never received theirs from William I, John I's executor.6
John and Sarah's children:
- Sarah 1673-1723.
- John b 1674 d young.
- John II Esq 1675-1744 unmarried. Admitted at the Middle Temple 29 May 1688. Lord of Spains Hall 1704-44, Will proved PCC 1745.

Brockett' on a pillar in Lower School'.7 Admitted at the Middle Temple 5 Nov 1697; clerk of Christ's Hospital 1711-45.8 William and Jane's children:

William II Esq 1719-91 had a long career at the Middle Temple: admitted 1738, called to the bar 1742-3, Bencher 1778, Reader 1785 and Treasurer 1790. His only son died unmarried aged 18 but his daughter Mary married Stanes CHAMBERLAYNE Esq and had children including a son Stanes Brocket CHAMBERLAYNE. William's Will was long and principally concerned to preserve the Brockett name.10 Consequently his grandson became Stanes Brocket Brocket, as follows.
Stanes Brocket CHAMBERLAYNE Esq 1782-1873 (d aged 90), grandson of William Brockett II. Admitted at the Middle Temple 1790, aged 8.

Most clinical discussions involving posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military personnel revolve around treatment and prognosis. One area that doesn't garner as much discussion is what puts some service members at greater risk for developing the disorder. This emphasis is likely because of the fact that most clinicians are involved in tertiary care and spend relatively little time involved in prevention.
And although it is true that being well-versed in evidence-based interventions for PTSD is of great importance for the practitioner, possessing a robust understanding of the various risk factors of the disorder is key to making an accurate diagnosis and educating military leaders and policy makers in hopes of preventing the disorder from occurring in those most at risk.
Risk Factors
Risk factors are those variables that contribute to a person developing a particular psychiatric disorder. These variables can be related to a person's childhood such as how they were treated by their parents.
They can also be related to a person's environment such as growing up in a middle class neighborhood or in a high crime area of an inner city.
Research has shown that there are several risk factors related to the development of PTSD. Some of the more significant and common ones are listed below:
Age. The age a person joins the military influences whether or not he or she will develop PTSD. In general, the younger a person is when he or she signs on the dotted line, the greater his or her risk.
This likelihood is because younger individuals have fewer life experiences. Life experience provides a strong buffer against traumatic events and it's especially true if the person has been exposed to moderate levels of stress over his or her lifetime leading to psychological resilience.
There is one exception, however. If a person's life experience is riddled with trauma, the person is at increased risk of PTSD.
Trauma history. One of the greatest predictors of emotional distress following a traumatic event is having suffered a traumatic event sometime in the past. Research clearly shows that veterans who were abused or neglected as children or previously suffered a life-threatening event are at greater risk for psychological problems.
A variant of this fact is when a service member or veteran did not suffer any pre-military trauma, but suffered multiple traumas during combat. Each successive trauma increases the individual's risk.
Personality style. Individuals who are more rigid and inflexible in the way they look at themselves, others and the world are more likely to suffer from the effects of trauma. In contrast, those who are able to consider competing viewpoints about why bad things happen, tend to do better.
This situation is not unique to military personnel. But, it is of more importance for this unique cultural group as rigidity, adherence to explicitly laid out rules and plans and following orders without question is part and parcel of a successful military career.
Social support. One of the biggest protectors against developing PTSD is others. If a person is surrounded by supportive people, whether it's family, friends or fellow comrades, the person will fare much better than those who tend to isolate themselves from other people or surround themselves with negative ones.
That's right. Negative people can do as much or more damage to a person post-trauma than if a person isolates and withdraws. Fortunately, the military is built upon the premise of "watching your buddies six" (watching their back) and openly promotes the importance of unit cohesion and camaraderie.
Fostering these values in your military and veteran patients can lead to quicker and more robust clinical outcomes.
Injury severity. Physical injury by itself can be a predictor for PTSD. However, the severity of injury is more important. Although by no means universal, a person who loses a limb from a roadside explosion is more likely to develop PTSD than someone who suffers a shrapnel injury from an indirect mortar.
The civilian equivalent is a woman who suffers an attempted sexual assault versus one who is brutally raped. Both are at increased risk, but the latter is more likely to develop PTSD.
There are a number of risk factors associated with PTSD. Some you can help your patients change and others you can't. For those that you can, such as social support and personality style, helping your military and veteran patients make minor changes can provide major benefits.

The Federal Hill Holiday Decorating Contest began in 2011 as the brainchild of two like minded citizens, Clark W. Griswold, and Eddie, who lived across the street. Both saw an opportunity to build much needed community spirit and foster friendships between neighbors. After all, the holidays are the perfect time to shake people out of their fast paced routine, and get them to talk to one another.
Since then the contest as grown like wild fire, and has proven itself in building neighborhood cheer. Elderly neighbors, who have lived here their whole lives, have stopped by to mention the sense of community spirit is better than they have seen in 60 years. People of all walks of life are found laughing and helping each other string lights. It's not about the competition, it's about what it does for those around it. It should also go without saying that the awards committee does not take part in the contest, even though their houses are made to inspire others. You might just stand a better chance then you think!
If you're interested in taking part, email Clark and Eddie with your name and street address. After a couple of years Clark and Eddie also realized that many would like to make the effort, but some of the technical aspects seem a bit challenging. Clark and Eddie are ready to field all questions via email at the "Contact" section of the website and you can check the "Lighting Tips" section of the website for some common issues and tips.
Help with the contest is always welcome, as are ideas for improvement. It's a lot of work getting the word out, putting up flyers, and helping out others. Please join us in our goal to make the neighborhood a more fun and exciting place.
Clark W. Griswold
Cousin Eddie
Clark W. Griswald Memorial Award: This will be judged upon impressive lighting alone.
Slightly Classy: Wreathes, garlands, tasteful lighting etc.
Hampden Wanna-Be: Baltimore themed, creativity and kitsch being weighted heavily. We've all been to 34th street, eaten at the Café Hon, or seen "Hairspray," so use these for inspiration if needed.
Winter Wonderland: Best block effort. It's pretty cool when an entire block gets together....
Best Williamsburg Style Decorations: A variation of Slightly Classy, with slightly more fruit.

Elements to Consider When Choosing a Corporate Events Venue in Frankfort, IL
Corporate events allow colleagues time to socialize with one another and learn more about useful techniques to help the business. However, selecting the wrong venue can cause problems for the event. Reviewing Odyssey Country Club will introduce party planners and business owners to a variety of options. When selecting a corporate events venue in Frankfort, IL, individuals must make sure the space has the proper equipment. For example, some companies will require a podium for presenters to speak with employees about new strategies for tackling the business. Others will need a quiet conference room where teams can work on group-building projects.
Navigating to the selected corporate events venue in Frankfort IL should not cause the employees a tremendous amount of difficulty. By renting a space at a nearby facility, owners can ensure that the participants are on time. Another option is to plan a company retreat where employees will spend the night in another area. Even if the event space itself does not have overnight accommodations, owners can book a block of rooms at a nearby hotel. Some establishments may have transportation available for the participants. For example, if the individuals are flying to the locale, they will need a way to get around the area.
Planners should also find out what other services the space offers. Whether the event is for an entire weekend or just several hours, feeding the participants is important. Food provides them with a social event and the energy necessary to put their best efforts into the retreat, event, or social gathering. When researching different event spaces, planners should find out if food packages are available. By doing so, they can ensure that the food is delivered without issue. Also, booking multiple services with the same vendor may lead to a discount on the overall price.
Looking into these different elements will help to plan an event that is cohesive and productive. Running into issues on the day of the event only slows the company down in both short and long term goals. The venue helps to create a greater deal of success for the corporate event.

What have I done now?
I got back from the football match, really happy. We won, by a long chalk. Extremely convincing and stretching out the dream that we may – it's mathematically possible and we have the morale-high ground – even qualify for the promotion play-offs.
But it was the first time I have ever been in an executive box. I was flattered at being invited and enjoyed the experience, though it puts an entirely different slant on being at a Walsall match! Buffet lunch, flat screen TV, programmes, coffee and cake at half time, access to the rather-exclusive Swifts Club bar and heating! The company was great, kept the banter and information flowing.
Incidentally the box we were in was number eleven and dedicated to one of my all-time Walsall heroes; all five foot four of him: Alan Buckley.
Did I mention that I had a couple of beers? That in the Swifts club bar were former players (one of whom is now a vicar at St Luke's church in Cannock)?
Well, delivered back home I came to check on WordPress. That's normal, the excitement continued.
Then my eye was attracted by the National Poetry Month (NaPoWriMo). Not sure, now, looking back what it was that drew me … but it's a thrown-down gauntlet, a challenge to write and publish a poem a day for the month of April.
To clarify matters a little bit it seems to be a United States "thing", but before I could activate the spellchecker – I had signed up … my little old beeseeker blog is now listed among the great, the good, the brave and the other slightly crazyhead people who took the step and registered on an auspicious April Fool's Day.
Off to a good start, managed what I call a poem on day one … phew … so far so good … but the pressure's on – and not just at the Saddlers!
So – wish me luck – send me coffee, and watch this space.

Yeats, Elizabeth Corbetview gallery
Biography: Elizabeth (Lollie) Corbet Yeats (1868–1940), publisher, printer and painter, was born in London. The Yeats family lived in Dublin for a time in the 1880s, where Elizabeth began her art education at the Metropolitan School of Art in 1883. In the 1890s the Yeats family lived in London, during this period Elizabeth trained as a kindergarten teacher at the Froebel College, Bedford. On completing her studies she taught as a visiting art mistress at the Froebel Society, Chiswick High School, and at the Central Foundation School. Also at this time she provided instructive text and illustrations for four painting manuals entitled 'Brushwork' (1896), 'Brushwork studies of flowers, fruits and animals for teachers and advanced students' (1898), 'Brushwork copy book' (1899), and 'Elementary brushwork studies' (1900). In 1902, Elizabeth and her sister, the embroiderer, Susan (Lily) Yeats (1866-1949), were approached by Evelyn Gleeson (1855–1944), textile designer, suffragist and Irish revivalist¸ to join her in the establishing of a craft workshop in Ireland which would employ young women. The enterprise, named Dun Emer, was based in Dundrum, County Dublin, and it incorporated a textile workshop and printing press. Before undertaking the role as printer Elizabeth attended courses at the Women's Printing Society, London. Under Elizabeth, the Dun Emer press produced hand-printed books, publishing the work of leading Irish writers of the period including the work of her brother William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) – who acted as the press editor. Other printed material included hand-coloured prints, bookplates and cards. As a publisher Elizabeth was greatly influenced by the work of William Morris' Kelmscott Press and she was advised personally by Emery Walker (1851-1933), co-founder of the Doves Press; both men extolled the merits of the handcrafted ideal. In 1908, the partnership between Gleeson and the Yeats sisters dissolved, with Elizabeth retaining the printing press. In the same year, Elizabeth and Susan founded Cuala Industries, incorporating the Cuala Press. 1908 also saw the publication of the first edition of 'A Broadside'. Edited and illustrated by her brother Jack Butler Yeats (1871–1957), this four page publication, comprising poetry, lyrics and illustrations, was hand -printed on hand-made paper by Elizabeth and hand-coloured by her and her assistants. Cuala Press publications, including books and illustrated ephemera, were exhibited in Arts and Crafts exhibitions in Ireland and abroad. Elizabeth herself provided a number of illustration designs for Cuala Press material, including cards, prints and decorative frontispieces. She described the Cuala method of printing and colouring by hand as 'art printing'. In 1935 and 1937, Elizabeth published two further series of 'A Broadside', this time co-edited by William Butler Yeats and a number of Irish artists contributed designs including Harry Kernoff (1900-1974), Maurice McGonigal (1900-1979), Seán O'Sullivan (1906–64) and Jack Butler Yeats.

Neeraj Vora (1963-2017): Rangeela khiladi no more
Actor-writer NeerajâÂÂVora breathed his last this morning after being in a coma for 13 months
Bollywood's multi-faceted talent, Neeraj Vora, known for penning a few of the most iconic '90s releases, including Rangeela, Hera Pheri and his directorial debut Khiladi 420, passed away this morning at 54.
Vora was in coma since the past 13 months after he suffered a heart attack and brain stroke in October 2016. Since March, he was residing at producer Feroz Nadiadwalla's Juhu residence, where an Intensive Care Unit had been set up for him. While having apparently shown signs of recovery, he reportedly fell ill two days ago, and breathed his last at 4 am at Criti Care hospital in Andheri, Mumbai.
Vora, who is survived by his younger brother Uttank, will be cremated in Juhu, today at 4 pm. Nadiadwalla tells mid-day, "His extended family is coming from Gujarat today at 2 pm. We will decide whether a prayer meeting should be held later."
Still from Rangeela
Having directed, written and acted in multiple films, Vora had many friends in the industry. His close aide, Suniel Shetty, who worked with him in the first two instalments of the Hera Pheri franchise, says, "I lost a wonderful friend, who was also an amazing human being. He was a talented writer, director and actor. His sense of humour was unmatched. He had the gift of the gab. He was spontaneous and witty and had a knack of creating scenes and situation in the spur of the moment. Whenever we met, he'd greet me with a hug. I will be indebted to him forever because he gave me one of my most memorable films, Hera Pheri." That Vora was among the most revered personalities is evident, says Shetty, given the fact that his friend, Nadiadwalla, took care of him. "Knowing his personality, Neeraj wouldn't have like to continue being in this state."
Vora with cast on the set of Hera Pheri
The iconic '90s release, Rangeela, was among the most celebrated works of Vora. Leading lady Urmila Matondkar says, "Neeraj was a livewire. It's sad that, of the amount he was capable of delivering, little was translated on screen. I cannot express how important he was in the crafting of the characters, Munna and Mini, in Rangeela. His knowledge and understanding of human emotions, characters and actors was spectacular." She chronicles an incident during the filming of the 1997 crime comedy, Daud with Vora. "We were executing a comical sequence in Daud. It was a walk out of the jungle. We couldn't wrap it up, because he was so good that we'd be rolling on the floor, laughing. He even stole our thunder with his expressions in the song that followed."
Filmmaker Vipul Shah says Vora's wit was unparalleled. "He was a genius who never got his due. I am yet to meet a man with better humour. When I was in college, I acted in the plays that he directed. This is a personal loss. Few could see his prowess. I did and I will miss him."
Sajid Sami of director duo Sajid Farhad remembers Vora's acting prowess. "He had acted in Bol Bachchan and was brilliant. We wanted an actor who could stand in front of Ajay Devgn, and still have a good comic timing. Because he was a writer, he understood scenes well."

I assume you found the Census records prior to William, Philena, William and Stella in 1900 in Long Creek, Grant Co., OR. If not, I can send them to you.
I didn't find anything for James F. beyond the 1870 Census when the family lived in Walnut, Bates, MO. The 1857 Waseca Township, MN Territorial Census said he was born in IL but the 1870 Walnut, Bates, MO Census said he was born in Minnesota.
Edward was last listed with the family in 1870 in Walnut, Bates, MO.
The Lauinger/Allen Family Tree, trees.ancestry.com/tree/20925766/person/1017918378 shows him as born 11 May 1857 in Iosco, Waseca, MN. He married woman named Martha C. who was born in 1860.
In 1900 they were living in Pendleton, Umatilla, Oregon.
Edward C. Allen, b. MN March 1857, marr 16 yrs, saloon keeper.
Martha C., b. OR Feb 1860, gave birth to three children but in 1900 only two were alive.
Clarance, b. OR June 1885.

Guided by respect for sustainability, design, architecture and the natural world, Fool's Gold brings together a portfolio of jewelry for discerning style and taste. Fool's Gold is a commentary on consumer culture and aims to start a conversation about ethics and sustainability in fashion and design, while providing a way to support ethical initiatives through conscious consumerism.
Founded by Meredith Christine and Michael Murphy, Fool's Gold set out to challenge the current jewelry and fashion industries. Using alternative materials to the standard diamonds, gemstones and gold, and working closely with suppliers to ensure sustainable and ethical sourcing, they've developed a modern line of jewelry that exists in unity with both people and the planet. With a cult following for the brand's bold statement pieces, the collection has since evolved to signature themes, staple daily drivers and exclusive custom jewelry designs.
Heavily influenced by the structural designs of modernist architecture, as well as expressive modern art, Meredith reimagines jewelry classics while maintaining a distinct, modern aesthetic. Her work interprets the rich cultural, architectural and natural environments she encounters into a singular aesthetic: a rawness balanced with elements of art, architecture and design.
The brand is an ode to the Meredith's personal style, while ever-evolving with new materials, technology and aesthetic exploration. The resulting designs embrace both casual comfortability and a modern urban aesthetic.
The jewelry you've chosen today is part of something bigger.
We believe what you buy is a conscious choice to support something – and we know we can make a significant impact with the collective effort of our community. That's why we make it a priority to donate at least 10% of our profits to causes that matter to us. Beyond giving back, we're setting a new standard for golden, fair and ethical workplaces. Our showroom and studio feature an open concept and customers are invited to explore the workspace while visiting our showroom. We value transparency in our industry and want to lead the way with our production area on full view.
As our company grew, we realized what a difference we could make by using the potential of the brand to really stand for something. It's an opportunity to create the change we believe the world needs.

Abstract:Introduction: Despite numerous national campaigns, frailty remains under-recognised in UK hospitals. We performed the first ever national survey of hospital clinicians designed to identify barriers to the identification and best practice management of frailty. Methods: Electronic and paper based surveys were distributed to hospital-based clinicians across the UK. As well as statement-based agree/disagree/not sure questions across five domains (personal understanding of frailty, identification of frailty, assessments for frailty, management of frailty and education), this survey also included free text comment space to allow broader qualitative evaluation. Results: 402 clinicians were surveyed across 24 specialties and 26 hospital sites. Consultants made up 54% of responders, specialty trainees 19% and junior doctors 24%. Although the majority were familiar with the term frailty, personal understanding was variable, especially amongst junior doctors. 74% of responders agreed frailty assessments should be undertaken for all older people admitted to hospital, yet only 36% felt this was currently feasible. Only 24% of responders reported they used validated assessment tools to identify frailty. Free text responses highlighted scepticism towards the clinical validity and utility of frailty as a clinical syndrome, the perceived value of so-called "end of the bed" assessments, and issues surrounding service capacity. Conclusions: Results highlight multiple Areas for improvement, and raise some interesting questions about the perceived value of frailty assessments in the acute setting. We recommend a particular focus on better training of staff, the promotion of validated frailty assessment tools, and investment in front line services for older people presenting to hospital.

Abstract:Aims Despite the presence of screening programmes, infants continue to present with late developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), the impact of which is significant. The aim of this study was to assess infants with late presenting dislocation of the hip despite universal clinical neonatal and selective ultrasound screening. Patients and Methods Between 01 January 1997 to 31 December 2011, a prospective, longitudinal study was undertaken of a cohort of 64 670 live births. Late presenting dislocation was defined as presentation after three months of age. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and plain radiography. Patient demographics, referral type, reason for referral, risk factors (breech presentation/strong family history) and clinical and radiological findings were recorded. Results There were 31 infants with an irreducible dislocation of the hip, an incidence of 0.48 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34 to 0.68) per 1000 live births. Of these, 18 (0.28 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.44) per 1000 live births; 58%) presented late. All infants had a documented normal newborn clinical examination and no abnormality reported in the six to eight week check. Of the 18 late presenting cases 72% (n = 13) had no risk factors: 16 were referred by GPs and two were late due to administrative issues (missed appointments). The mean time to diagnosis was 62.4 weeks (19 to 84). Conclusion Despite universal clinical neonatal and selective ultrasound screening, late cases of irreducible hip dislocation still occur. We recommend an update of the national screening programme for DDH, a review of training and education of healthcare professionals involved in the physical examination of neonates and infants, and the addition of a further assessment after the six to eight week check.Copyright © 2017 The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery.

Abstract:Background: Isolated Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIA) are rare (0.3%-0.5%). Identified incidentally on radiological studies or presenting as rupture (33%), with high mortatilty (33-50%). Materials and Methods: A 42 year old man with the history of Takayasu's disease and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, presented with pain, weakness, and numbness in the right leg of two weeks duration. His magnetic resonance scan, suggested right psoas abscess causing neurological symptoms. Ultrasound guided drainage was suggested. Ultrasound demonstrated aneurysmal flow. Subsequent computerised tomography angiography revealed a ruptured right internal iliac artery aneurysm into the right psoas muscle. Patient proceeded to have an urgent angiogram. A covered stent was placed in right common iliac artery which occluded the rupture. Usual clinical presentation of IIA are abdominal pain, back pain, hydronephrosis, renal failure, haematuria, shock due to free rupture. IIAAs are more common on the left (61.8% left, 27.3% right, 10.9% bilateral). Treatment options are open, endovascular or hybrid repair. Results: The post-operative period was complicated by pancreatitis. His right leg weakness did not worsen clinically. He is having outpatient physiotherapy and neurology follow-up. Conclusion: Endovascular means can effectively manage ruptured IIA. Due to low incidence and only accounting for ten percent of all iliac aneurysms with varying presentations, knowledge and management of internal iliac aneurysm is important. With the advent of novel techniques early means of diagnosis and management of IIA requires further research.

Abstract:Background: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is used as the first-line test of thyroid function. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics recommend that Siemens Centaur reagents must be protected from light in the assay information and on reagent packaging. We have compared the effect of light exposure on results using Siemens TSH-3Ultra and follicle-stimulating hormone reagents. The thyroid-stimulating hormone reagent includes fluoroscein thiocyanate whereas the follicle-stimulating hormone reagent does not. Methods: Three levels of quality controls were analysed using SiemensTSH-3Ultra and follicle-stimulating hormone reagent packs that had been kept protected from light or exposed to light at 6-h intervals for 48 h and then at 96 h. Results: Thyroid-stimulating hormone results were significantly lower after exposure of TSH-3Ultra reagent packs to light. Results were >15% lower at all three levels of quality control following 18 h of light exposure and continued to decrease until 96 h. There was no significant difference in follicle-stimulating hormone results whether reagents had been exposed to or protected from light. Conclusions: Thyroid-stimulating hormone results but not follicle-stimulating hormone results are lowered after exposure of reagent packs to light. Laboratories must ensure that TSH-3Ultra reagents are not exposed to light and analyse quality control samples on every reagent pack to check that there has not been light exposure prior to delivery. The labelling on TSH-3Ultra reagent packs should reflect the significant effect of light exposure compared with the follicle-stimulating hormone reagent. We propose that the effect of light exposure on binding of fluoroscein thiocyanate to the solid phase antibody causes the falsely low results.Copyright © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017.

Abstract:Extrapituitary roles for hypothalamic neurohormones have recently become apparent and clinically relevant, based on the use of synthetic peptide analogs for the treatment of multiple conditions including cancers, pulmonary edema and myocardial infarction. In the eye, it has been suggested that some of these hormones and their receptors may be present in the ciliary body, iris, trabecular meshwork and retina, but their physiological role has yet to be elucidated. Our study intends to comprehensively demonstrate the expression of some hypothalamic neuroendocrine hormones and their receptors within different retinal and extraretinal structures of the human eye. Immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR were used to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative expression of Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH), Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH), Gastrin Releasing Peptide (GRP) and Somatostatin as well as their respective receptors (LHRH-R, GHRH-R, TRH-R, GRP-R, SST-R1) in cadaveric human eye tissue and in paraffinized human eye tissue sections. The hypothalamic hormones LHRH, GHRH, TRH, GRP and Somatostatin and their respective receptors (LHRH-R, GHRH-R, TRH-R, GRPR/BB2 and SST-R1), were expressed in the conjunctiva, cornea, trabecular meshwork, ciliary body, lens, retina, and optic nerve.

Abstract:Objectives: This paper aimed to determine the baseline accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of routinely collected comorbidity data in patients undergoing any types of colectomy. Methods: All patients aged >18 who underwent right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, sigmoid colectomy, subtotal colectomy, or total colectomy between 1 January 2015 and 1 November 2016 were identified. The following comorbidities were considered: hypertension, ischemic heart disease (IHD), diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and hypercholesterolemia. The comorbidity data from clinical notes were compared with corresponding data in hospital episode statistics (HES) database in order to calculate accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of HES codes for comorbidities. In order to assess the agreement between clinical notes and HES data, we also calculated Cohen's kappa index value as a more robust measure of agreement. Results: Overall, 267 patients comprising 2136 comorbidity codes were included. Overall, HES codes for comorbidities in patients undergoing colectomy had substandard accuracy 94% (kappa 0.542), sensitivity (39%), and NPV (89%). The HES codes were 100% specific with PPV of 100%. The results were consistent when individual comorbidities were analyzed separately. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that HES comorbidity codes in patients undergoing colectomy are specific with good positive predictive value; however, they have substandard accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value. Better documentation of comorbidities in admission clerking proforma may help to improve the quality of source documents for coders, which in turn may improve the accuracy of coding.Copyright © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
