Patient transport – How to improve it today
Hi, welcome to 3tc Software! You've landed here from Google because they think that our patient transport solution is just what you need – and they are right! Are you here because you want to provide your patients with the best service possible? Or maybe you were looking for ideas to improve communication within your patient transport organisation. Whatever it might be, we are here to help. Find out more here or give us a call now on 01455 826 400.
Patient transport management should be easy
We can only agree with that, which is why we provide a solution that makes the management of patient transport very convenient. Thanks to the development of modern technologies we can offer you a patient transport system that enables you to quickly handle bookings and enquiries. It allows you to manage even high demand efficiently and to co-ordinate multiple patient journeys. We can offer you a tailored, high-quality solution, which also allows you to customise your patient transport system. Personalise your display so you only see what you need and want to see, avoiding any confusing extras that aren't used.
How can patient transport become more flexible?
Flexibility is vital when you want to respond to patient's changing needs instantly; for example the management of late transport requests, changed pick-up or drop-off times and cancelled journeys. Our solution enables you to respond to those changes quickly so every patient gets a comfortable transport from and to their appointments, eliminating long waiting and transport times. Providing patients with the best possible transport service that also meets their medical and mobility requirements is vital for your organisation's success. Using our patient transport solution helps you to ensure that all your patients experience a safe, punctual and pleasant transport.
Patient transport and the importance of communication
The amount of patients requiring patient transport is increasing continuously, leading to a rising pressure on your organisation. There are various factors that can influence the performance of patient transport businesses, with communication being one of the most important ones. Inadequate communication can lead to poor documentation, transport delays and higher numbers of abandoned journeys. That is why we developed a mobile and web solution that will help your patient transport organisation to communicate well. Our mobile option ensures adequate communication through continuous real-time updates. Your crew can instantly give you all important patient transport information such as pick-up and drop-off times, cancelled journeys and staff availability. The web application can be accessed by your workforce and patients so both sides have total visibility about transport times and delays – allowing real-time communication that will ensure your patients are ready for their pick-up and your crews are aware of any cancelled transports as early as possible.
Show me how you can help us NOW.
How patient transport can make your clients happy
Do you also think that late transports are inacceptable? We understand that you want your patients to be happy, which is why our patient transport solution helps you to be on time. It enables you to monitor your vehicles' movements and locations on a map, allowing you to deploy empty vehicles to new transports. We even included an option that makes sure you can easily handle last-minute transport requests. It also gives you the ability to quickly edit existing journeys. Use your resources more efficiently and increase your numbers of performed patient transports by reducing not only delays but also the amount of patients you have to reject.

8 October 2007 - First Edition
Ray Acheson | Reaching Critical Will

Over the last few years, the UN General Assembly First Committee on Disarmament and International Security has taken place after disappointing outcomes at the Conference on Disarmament (CD), the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, theWorld Summit, the Disarmament Commission, and the Small Arms and Light Weapons Review Conference. This year, the situation is not quite so bleak. While the CD closed its 2007 session without agreement on a programme of work, it inched closer than ever to a compromise, with nearly universal agreement on the package deal proposed by the Conference Presidents. In September, theComprehensive Test Ban Treaty Entry Into Force Conference reaffirmed the commitment of the States Parties to upholding and promoting the Treaty through eleven practical measures outlined in the Final Declaration. The first Preparatory Committee of the 2010 NPT review cycle, after days of procedural wrangling, allowed for interactive exchange between delegations—as the Cuban delegation pointed out this week, "amidst the current impasse and backward steps in the area of disarmament, many believe that having had the opportunity to talk is, per se, a success."
After the first week of General Debate, most delegations appear optimistic about the possibilities before them. While buzz around the foremost issue in the CD, the Fissile Materials Cut-off Treaty, is largely quiet and cautious, there are some other interesting developments on the horizon. The delegations from Chile, New Zealand, Nigeria, Sweden, and Switzerland intend to table a draft resolution calling on the nuclear weapon states to remove their nuclear weapons from "launch on warning" status (de-alerting). This initiative can be seen as a step towards building a positive outcome to the 2010 NPT review cycle. Cuba, meanwhile, is working to garner support for a draft resolution on the effects of the use of armaments and ammunitions containing depleted uranium (DU), which has been another issue of great concern to civil society for years. (See RCW's DU resources, including a report on the recent Fourth International Conference on DU Weapons.)
Outside of the First Committee, other initiatives such as the Oslo Process on cluster munitions, continuing work on the Arms Trade Treaty, and the ongoing campaign to establish a fourth special session on disarmament at the UN, have been receiving strong support from governments, diplomats, and civil society.
However, these initiatives are taking place against a rather stormy backdrop. Military spending has reached astronomical heights, with global expenditures over US$1 trillion per year and the military-industrial complex profiting from mass destruction more than ever before. Meanwhile, Millennium Development Goals are far from being met, and most donor countries (high income states) have not met their 0.7% development assistance pledge. Violent armed conflicts continue to be waged throughout the world, nuclear weapon modernization programmes proceed despite disarmament obligations, aggressive military posturing has increased geopolitical tensions, and insecurity, for the entire international community, is arguably at an all-time high.
In particular, the US-India deal, which Pakistan suggested was the basis for its opposition to the proposed programme of work in the CD, represents a step backwards for non-proliferation and disarmament. It allows for India to increase its nuclear weapons, fissile materials, and delivery systems, and does not restrict India from resuming nuclear testing. By giving India access to the benefits of the NPT membership without making it sign the Treaty or adhere to its tenets, the deal undermines the NPT at a time when the regime is facing other crises and needs support to retain its credibility and functionality. (See RCW's fact sheet on the US-India deal.) Meanwhile, tensions with Iran over its nuclear programme continue to grow: despite the work plan finalized between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran in August to resolve all outstanding issues related to Iran's past nuclear activities, the United States and France have been pushing for a third Security Council sanctions resolution in response to Iran's continued uranium enrichment programme. (See the Nuclear Proliferation report.)
However, one year after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) conducted its first nuclear weapon test, the government has agreed to dismantle its nuclear weapons programme and has shut down and sealed its sole plutonium-producing reactor in Yongbyon under IAEA supervision. The success to date of the six-party talks demonstrates the potential and importance of multilateral diplomacy as the only legitimate, credible, and fair way to engage with contentious issues of disarmament and non-proliferation. It also exemplifies the effect that international diplomacy can have in overcoming the problems created by conflicting national security priorities, priorities which often undermine the collective human security that multilateral fora such as the First Committee strive to protect.
First Committee is often met by delegates and civil society alike with weariness or even apathy, as time-hardened positions have given rise to a number of static annual resolutions that are tabled and voted on year after year. However, the First Committee is the best place for states to build consensus on the issues, to reach common understandings, and to agree on norms of behaviour and principles of cooperation—respect for which we could all benefit from.

How Much Does it Cost to Work With a Staffing Agency in Austin?June 13th, 2014
Have you been thinking about working with a staffing company to supplement your hiring needs? Local staffing services can work with you to source, screen, and select the right candidate for your long term or short term needs. What goes in to the cost of working with a staffing company? There are many elements that will contribute to your final cost and overall structure. Let's look at some of the contributing factors that may affect your business with a staffing agency here in Austin.
- Account type and volume. The more staffing you need, the better the price the staffing service can provide. Account volume will give your partner company an idea of what kind of work they need to do to prescreen and submit individuals for your opportunities. The positions may be administrative or light industrial in nature and require very different skills and experience.
- Worker's comp insurance costs. When you work with a staffing company the temporary employee's workers comp insurance is covered by the organization. This doesn't mean that you aren't responsible for the safety of the temps on the job. Your staffing partner will evaluate the risk of working with your company and may adjust rates if the necessary work requires more safety standards.
- Time to hire. From the moment you first initiate contact with a service they will begin working for you. They may need to meet with you to evaluate your business and environment, determine what background is necessary for your open jobs, and what kind of prescreening tools you require. Some jobs necessitate extended lead times while others can be filled quickly. Your cost may depend on where on the spectrum your business falls.
- General administrative costs. Ultimately it is important to note that a staffing agency is not a non-profit organization. Not only do they need to cover the costs of the pre-employment checks, the advertising, and the testing they also need to cover the pay range and employment taxes for each employee and earn enough to continue providing quality business to all of their clients. Their rates will typically be a percentage mark up from the employee pay rate which takes all of the administrative costs into account.
Do you want to partner with a local staffing company who understands your business? Meador Staffing Agencies in Austin TX can help you today!

text: oamotme #1 Posted June 11, 2018 Gentlemen, Another unknown from Yemen. This time an Order of Cooperation from the Yemen Arab Republic. The order appears to be a locally manufactured piece. The dimensions are as follows - badge 6.4cm diameter; suspension brooch 6.3cm x 3.8cm; ribbon 4.8cm. The colours of the ribbon - black, white and red, are those of the YAR flag. The badge of the order bears the inscription, "Order of Cooperation". The brooch which is possibly a high quality cap badge bears the inscription, "Yemen Arab Republic". The symbolism of the badge - a white dove, three interlocking rings and an olive branch on a light and dark blue background, may indicate some form of association with a peace keeping or United Nations force - but this suggestion is wholly speculative. The design of this award is distinctly different to the 'usual' YAR Order of Cooperation as detailed in the 1981 Regulations and manufactured by Skinner & Co. of London. As ever any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Kind regards, Owain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Life In Brief
Hauwa Abubakar is from Yola South in Adamawa State. She is the fifth out of the seven children of her parents. Hauwa attended Sanda Primary School and Day-Wurohausa Secondary School in Adamawa State. She got married to Mr. Sahabo Abubakar from also Adamawa state on 24 September, 1999. They are blessed with children.
My name is Hauwa Abubakar and I am from Adamawa State. I was born in Yola South. I am the fifth out of the seven children of my parents. I attended Sanda Primary School and Day-Wurohausa Secondary School in Adamawa State. I got married to Mr. Sahabo Abubakar from also Adamawa state on 24 September, 1999. We are blessed with children.
What do you do for a living?
I am into baking. I fry chi-chi, do zobo, kunu, masa and do some baking and then supply. I take the masa to suya joints around Ojota and Ketu in Lagos State for them to sell. I can sell up to 50,000 pieces of masa per day. People also order for masa during marriage ceremonies and birthday parties. As for the chichi, dankuwa, zobo and kunu, I take them to my children's school to sell. This has helped me to assist my husband in taking care of us. My husband is also very supportive. He encourages me a lot. He also advises me to try new things. If I succeed, good! If I don't, then I need to keep trying.
When did you start the business?
I started the business about 10 years ago. I couldn't just sit at home and expect my husband to provide everything for me. I had to do something to assist him in bringing up our children.
How it all started
Before I started my business, I had to visit some of the suya joints in my area and tell them I would like to supply them masa and they were very excited. I also visited places where my brothers and sisters were trading and also told them I would be supplying them masa. I started by making like 50 pieces, and as time went on, more and more people kept ordering for it. That was how I started.
Who taught you how to make masa?
I learnt it from my aunty. Whenever one of my siblings was getting married, my aunty would come over to make it as part of the food for the ceremony. I am the one always assisting her. That was how I learnt how to make masa. I also learnt how to make zobo, fry chi-chi and kunu from my sisters.
Who is your mentor?
My mentor would be my aunty. She always motivates me to try new things. She is the one who advised me to do something even if small.
What are your challenges?
The only challenge I have in my business is that sometimes, business does not boom the way it used to. I struggled to sell 30,000 pieces of masa especially during the recession period and when I don't sell them, they get bad the next day. That is a big loss for me.
How are you different from other people?
I see people on the street begging for money everyday. I will never do that. Allah has blessed me with good health and a complete body. I will use my hands to work, so as to feed my family.
What are your plans for your business?
I want to expand my business. If I can be supplying every ceremony in Lagos State, I know how much I would be making. I also want to create more awareness by expanding my business to corporate organisations.
How do you combine business with family life?
My children are all grown up. They assist me in the kitchen and before I go out, I always ensure that there is food in the house, so that when they come back from school, they will have something to eat.
Are all your children going to school?
Yes! They are all going to school. Education is the only thing we can give to them. Even though we are not financially buoyant, the education of our children is not something we can neglect. What we do is that we ensure that all of them have solid educational background by sending them to private school. When they are through with their primary school, we then send them to public school.
What is your advice to married women?
My advice to women is that they should try to empower themselves. If their husbands refuse to help them, they should try and do something. They should never sit down at home waiting for their husbands to provide everything for them. That can frustrate the man, especially if he is not financially buoyant.
As for those who sit on the road side and beg for money with their children, my advice to them is that they should beg for once and use the money to do business. They can even sell pure water or do anything. With that, they will earn more respect for themselves and their children.
In terms of taking care of my family generally, I have ensured that I have deep respect for my husband and my husband in turn has continued to love me. The secret of my successful marriage life is understanding. I have what they call deep respect for my husband and he has continued to love me.

When comparing Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity vs The ONE Thing, the Slant community recommends Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity for most people. In the question"What are the best books on Productivity?" Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity is ranked 4th while The ONE Thing is ranked 5th.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Holistic concept from capturing to doing stuff
Pro Teaches to mage focus rather than time
Pro Breaks everything down into steps
A lot of different techniques are introduced (such as a filing system and planner) which can be overwhelming. The author breaks everything down into smaller steps that can be completed immediately.
Pro Teaches you to avoid wasting time on figuring out what to do next
A fair bit of time gets spent either switching between tasks, or figuring out what to work on. Getting Things Done teaches you the importance of narrowing your focus and having a plan of where to spend your time.
Pro Great approach for those who are easily overwhelmed
Having a long to-do list can be overwhelming for some, and can cause people to jump back in forth between tasks hoping to get through the list faster.
The ONE Thing teaches the flaws with multitasking and emphasizes the importance of focus for increasing productivity.
Pro Challenges you to question the importance of your tasks
The authors challenge the idea that all tasks are of equal importance. They encourage you to question the tasks you feel need to be accomplished, allowing you to focus on the tasks that are more important.
Pro Ideal for those in business/management
Con Does not consider technology
Getting Things Done, including the most recent update (2015), includes very little about incorporating technology into the process (such as tracking apps) that could speed up the process.
Con Repetitive, infomercial-like writing style
A large majority of the book is filler writing, repeating the few initial lessons in various different wordings.
Con Impractical message
The author dismisses the idea of a work-life balance, calling it a lie. This book is mostly beneficial for those who don't mind sacrificing their life outside of work for more productivity in the office.
The author has marked different points throughout the book for emphasis by underlining some key points in what looks like pencil.
This can be distracting as your eyes immediately jump to the emphasized lines.

Tags on Tags!January 09, 2016
The ABBA Book TagTake a Chance on Me (a book you unexpectedly liked)
AN EMBER IN THE ASHES, by Sabaa Tahir. This book had a lot of hype last year but as I read reviews it seemed people either loved it or hated it. I hate reading hyped books so it wasn't really on my radar, but I decided to get the e-book through the library since I've been into more diverse (not western-based) fantasy lately. It wasn't a perfect book, but I really enjoyed Tahir's writing style and Elia's character.
The Winner Takes it All (An overhyped book)
RED QUEEN, by Victoria Aveyard. Oh my, this book was overhyped. It was touted so much I even bought it in hardcover. *Shakes fist at internet* I should have known! My opinion on this book is very unpopular, but I'll explain more in the Unpopular Opinions Tag.
Waterloo (An amazing historical fiction book)
ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, by Anthony Doerr. It won a Pulitzer. I cried. Enough said.
You're Only A Child (a recently published book)
TRUTHWITCH, by Susan Dennard. I haven't read it, but I just bought it. Susan's writing advice has been such a pivotal part of my writing and I am SO excited to support her new book!
I Have A Dream (a favourite, 'ideal' book)
WINTER, by Marissa Meyer. This book was a perfect end to the series. Perfect. I don't think I have never been so satisfied with a series ending. Bravo, Marissa! Bravo! Thank you for not being a Suzanne Collins. In case you can't tell I'm still mad about Finnick.
Dancing Queen (A book with royalty)
QUEEN OF SHADOWS, by Sarah J. Maas. Prince Rowan. Enough said.
THE HEART OF BETRAYAL, by Mary E. Pearson. I'm a cover slut. Books with amazing covers are always the first ones I buy in hardcover and this series has AMAZING covers.
Lay All Your Love on Me (a book that needs more attention)
SOULLESS, by Gail Carriger. I read this book and then immediately ran to tumblr in search of the fandom and found... like three people. I know people love this series, but where are all you guys! This book needs a fandom and I have no idea why it doesn't. The main love interest looks pretty much like this guy and he is almost never clothed.
|Grumpy Werewolf Hunk
MECHANICA, by Betsy Cornwell. A mechanic cinderella? My mind immediately went to Cinder, but the books actually couldn't be more different. Mechanica had its problems, but it was a super empowering take on Cinderella that all my feminist sisters will appreciate. Also it's steampunk. Also the cover is STUNNING.
S.O.S. (A book that should get in trouble and NOT be rescued)
REBEL MECHANICS, by Shanna Swendson. The concept of this book is AMAZING... Steampunk vs magic in an alt-history America where England won the Revolutionary War. Yeah! I just wish the writing lived up to that concept. I tried to get past the first few chapters, but the writing and the cardboard characters were insufferable.
Knowing Me, Knowing You (a book you know a lot about for whatever reason)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, by Jane Austen. I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies right now and if you gave me a highlighter and asked me to highlight the parts that are from the original text, I could probably do it.
The Unpopular Opinions Tag:
|This is gonna be good...
RED QUEEN, by Victoria Aveyard. Ugh. Woof. "It's so original! So amazing!" they said. It was not. It was like someone took elements from five bestselling YA novels and mashed it all together into a Franken-book of generic YA drivel. This book wanted to be like Hunger Games, X-Men, The Selection and Game of Thrones and ended up a confused mess world-building wise. Even worse a love triangle was forced in there that unfolded like every other love triangle you've ever read. Every scene was an echo of something I read elsewhere. Furthermore, "That twist was amazing!" they said. No it wasn't. I don't know how people missed that clunky freight train coming. Here's a hint: the evil ones have dark hair. So, yeah. I don't like this book.
|"I just hate buying crappy books!"
NORTHANGER ABBEY, by Jane Austen. Most Austenites will tell you it's their least favorite. Well, it's my favorite so deal with it. #muslin
3. A love triangle where you didn't like who the main character ended up with:
A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES, by Sarah J. Maas. Rhysand. Just Rhysand. That's all there is. I'm so excited though because there will be more of him in the second book!
4. A popular genre you hardly read:
Sci-Fi is an almost never for me. Unless we're talking Steampunk, but that's a very minor subset of Sci-Fi that's pretty much Historical Fiction.
5. A popular/beloved character you dislike:
John Green. Yeah. I said it. I loved the Fault in Our Stars but I have never had the urge to pick up any of his other books. My thoughts on him are weird. He's a cool guy. I watch his videos from time to time. I'd probably read more of him if he wasn't JOHN GREEN!!! but I just feel like there are equally talented authors who deserve more attention. Plus I'm tired of him being the only name in YA the media knows so I think I'll leave John and his books to his hordes. He's not hurting for my business.
7. A popular trope you're tired of reading:
I'm so tired of characters who have no control over pretty much everything that happens to them. (Katniss, Juliette, Mare) They just react to everything that happens to them as it comes and of course fall in love with the hot guy who's along for the ride while they're at it.
SHATTER ME, By Tahereh Mafi. I tried Shatter Me, but it didn't grab me. See question 5.
9. A movie you liked better than the book:
AUSTENLAND, by Shannon Hale. The book had a few issues where plot stuff didn't make a whole bunch of sense. The movie wasn't perfect either. They definitely stayed true to the book's important points, but some good decisions were made to improve on the original text. Good decisions like JJ Field...
|sorry... what was I saying?

Yay, thank you for doing the tag! Yep, Red Queen was definitely overhyped, but once the later, post-release reviews came out, it seems that a fair amount of people share your opinion. I haven't decided whether to read ACOMAF yet -- I did NOT like ACOTAR, but at the same time the writing IS really good. *flails about in indecision*ReplyDelete
PS: OMG thank you for calling me a queen of writing blogs I'm grinning so much here I can't evenReplies
Yeah. I was just mad that I bought the book in big, fat hardcover! But you have to give the publishing team props — that book was perfectly engineered to be a bestseller.Delete
Yeah, my problems with ACOTAR were mostly Feyre being stupid, and Tamlin being kinda manipulative... which is why I am a violent fan of Rhysand. But Sarah J Maas, for me, is like the Michael Bay of Fantasy. It's flashy, the worldbuilding is cool, her characters are BA and there's lots and LOTS of hunky men. I love reading them, but I never go into her books expecting to be as satisfied as if I was reading Stiefvater or something. I'm mainly obsessed with her characterization — she's a master in my mind. But really I'm a sucker for all brooding men with dark hair. That and charismatic rapscallions. Also, fair warning, Throne of Glass is the worst in the series. They get better as they go along.
Yeah I thought Red Queen is pretty unoriginal too lol. As to Warner from Shatter Me..well I'll just say that the last book is the one where Warner shines (and the main reason why everyone, including me, is soo obsessed with him). I totally agree with you about John Green though. I feel like his books really don't deserve all the hype because they're good but I've definitely read way better YA Contemporary books.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah. It was hard for me to think of a beloved character I don't like, so Warner got the boot even though I was just kind of "meh" about all of Shatter Me. If they finally make a movie/tv show about it, I'll definitely give the books a second chance, but right now there is so much on my to-read list that I just can't work up the courage to jump back in.Delete
Yeah. They are good. I can't deny that, but the hype around them is a bit boggling.
Thanks for the tags! I can't really get into John Green either--not that he isn't a talented author, but his style just isn't for me. I've been wanting to read Soulless for a while though, and your description makes it sound even more fun!ReplyDeleteReplies
YES! Soulless is awesome! The best way to describe them is just pure fun! Though I will caution you, the heat level is a bit higher than I was expecting, but I also read mostly YA so my heat tolerance is lower than most.Delete
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that way about Rebel Mechanics. I couldn't finish it either, which saddened me greatly because steampunk is my heart and soul and there's not enough of it. But oh well. And I, too, was annoyed with Red Queen! But I tend to stay away from overhyped books in general so I should have known. AND YUS TO WARNER. I just...I don't understand because he's way abusive and I can't even with how awful it is that everyone fangirls over him.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the tag! I'll get to that this week.
Yeah, that ACOTAR pairing was pretty unsatisfactory. I wonder what will happen in A Court of Mist and Fury - I'm secretly rooting for Rhys and Feyre's elder sister - I think sparks would fly. And YES, The Heart of Betrayal has a gorgeous cover! I recently finished it and I really liked it. I hope the finale will be just as good!ReplyDelete
These tags were a lot of fun to do, and I'm returning the favor with One Lovely Blog Award (http://ofdragonsandhearts.com/2016/01/monster-tag-post/) - I don't know if you've done it before but I'd love to read your answers! :)

An Online Art Gallery by Contemporary artist, Grady Zeeman
I am – Positive Affirmations:
The greatest gifts one can give yourself and therefore the rest of humanity, are those of self-love and self-respect. It has taken me years of working with my darling friend and mentor, Dr Zaida Rivene, as well as reading valuable books on healing, that I have come to a point of true healing , where I am comfortable with who I am. According to the book: "The Secret" when you say "I am", the words that follow are summoning creation with a mighty force, because you are declaring it to be a fact. You are stating it with a mighty force, because you are declaring it to be a fact. You are stating it with certainty and so immediately after you say, " I am tired" or " I am broke" or "I am sick" or " I am late" or " I am overweight" or " I am old", the Genie says, " Your wish is my command"
Our truest power comes after the words: I am………………………………..

Sent wrong size.
By Amanda
from Clarks summit, pa
Tried on a large at a local store. It was a bit snug. I saw they had an XL AVAILABLE online. Ordered it, bag said XL tag in costume was only a large. I am 5'6" 130 lbs and I normally wear small . Product like all runs extremely small.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
too short
By Chels
from Co
About Me Adventurous, Comfort-Oriented, Conservative
This is a cute costume and I bought it for a Halloween party. The shape of it is more straight than anything, so it wasn't very flattering on me. It's comfy and it seems very true to size. I describe the length as being about the same as when I'm wearing a tank top and pull it down to cover my butt because I have no pants on. Overall I like it a lot but be prepared to add some shorts or tights or other under garments.
Great Pick!!

Fun (but small!) Costume
By Luigi
from Washington, DC
About Me Adventurous, Trendy
I purchased this to be Luigi for Halloween (my boyfriend was Mario). The outfit was SUPER CUTE and it was a big hit at parties. I should warn you though, IT IS SHORT! I am not sure what petite people they modeled this after, but I am 5'9" and it came down to the top/middle of my booty. The boyshorts I purchased for underneath were a MUST. The outfit is cute though, but be ready to have something covering yourself. Otherwise, a fun costume.
I like it but have a couple suggestions
By Kim M
from Yonkers, NY
This is a cute outfit! I do agree with other reviewers... it is very short. Trust me I love short on Halloween, but I'm an average sized girl with curves and would have liked the outfit longer because it does hug the curves. It naturally rises when you move. Because of this I will wear white tights not knee highs. Additionally, the hat material does not match the rest of the outfit. I thought that was a little strange. Overall, I am looking forward to dressing up beside my husband, who will be Mario :)
Cute but too short!
By Kay
from Boston, MA
This costume was very cute and went well with my boyfriend's Mario costume. However, it was way too short!! I got a small and I am 5'1". This costume did not cover anything. I had to go out and find shorts to match last minute.

Cute AF!!!
By Mellie

About Me Adventurous, Bargain Shopper, Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Conservative
The price was a little steep but I gotta tell you I LOVED IT. It was super cute and comfy! The straps were a little too big and I had to keep pulling them up, but I was enjoying the compliments so much I just didn't care! And the dress was very very very short, I had to wear tights underneath. I chose green and they looked GREAT! My husband was Mario so this was an AMAZING couples costume. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS COMSTUME!
Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover
By MNB
from North Haven, CT
My best friend & I purcharsed the girl versions of Mario & Luigi. The outfits looked super cute & though we both wear Mediums, we got Larges to play it safe in case the dresses were short. Well shortttttt isn't even the word for it. Our costumes did not even cover half our butts. We were disappointed in the fit up top as well. The tops were not cut as low as they seem in the picture. Very Very disappointed in these costumes!! So disappointed that we went out & bought something else to wear.. We didn't even WANT to wear them!!!
Super cute but extremely short!
By BrittyC
from Hoboken, NJ
Overall the costume was pretty simple but I loved it. Unfortunately I had to send it back because of how short it is. I'm 5'9" and used to my fair share of short costumes but this was like a longer t-shirt. Even with the booty shorts that I purchased, I still couldn't cover my bottom enough to feel comfortable wearing this in public.
By nats
from canada
The costume is exactly like the picture.really cute and a little short but it looks short on the picture anyways. I'm a size 0 or 2 and I ordered the small size. It was not too tight but very nice. It is short but covers enough and I was planning on wearing shorts under the dress. I wish there was socks included in too but either way I love this costume. My friend got the maria costume she got a size medium and loves it .
Very Cute But Very Short
By Young & Fun
from Houston, TX
About Me Bargain Shopper, Comfort-Oriented, Trendy
I love the way this fits on my body, its very comfortable and sexy looking.I'm 5'1" and in pretty decent shape so i got the small but this was still very short on me.. I love the costume so I plan on buying shorts to go underneath. I love that it comes with the accessories, definitely worth the price.

Way too short, regardless of height!
By Risse
from Tampa, FL
About Me Adventurous, Bargain Shopper, Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Trendy
Costume was really cute with decent quality but was extremely short and made it impossible to wear. I'm 5'7" and ordered a medium. My cousin ordered the Mario version (same costume just different color).. She is only 5'3" and it was still too short on her too (she also ordered a medium). The largest would have been too loose on us for sure, and I doubt it would've impacted the length by very much. We both Had to return it.

Luigi Costume
By Mary
from PA
Luigi Costume... Pros, easy to put on, funny costume. I added a fake mustache as well.Cons... Although the costume fit size wise... it was very tight and snug throughout. I like a little breathing room.Overall, I liked the costume. My husband wore Mario and who wants to be the lame princess? So I picked Luigi... it is a little strange being "Sexy Luigi", but I had a good time in the costume.

In all likelihood, Osen Komura is following you. In fact, Osen Komura is following upwards of 37,000 profiles on Twitter and rising. So who is this guy? The IP address in his Location box resolves to Twitter's own URL. Although little is known about Komura, a little digging today on Google cleared up some of the mystery.
Normally, I won't follow a person on Twitter based on whether that person follows me. I'm not following Osen Komura either, but I do tend to have a look at the Twitter page of every new follower I get. An email notification pops into my inbox; I check them out. I block some of them; I ignore most of them. I keep my numbers of follow:follower fairly low. I spend too much of my time on internet noise as it is, I don't need to add more to the mix.
But here's where Osen Komura comes in- Osen is purposely making noise for himself as an experiment in Twitter/web behaviour. It's simple, and possibly pointless, but here's the gist of it:
Osen follows you, but will you then follow Osen? Apparently, Komura is trying to find a magic formula with that ratio. Call it an experiment in human behaviour relating to the "friend" culture of the web.
His Bio blurb on Twitter:
"Questions about my experiment? Just read my timeline. All of it. It's all there."
There are only 24 updates (as I write this) and no real revelations. In fact, there hasn't been an update for 11 days. I guess following upwards of 37,000 Twitter users leaves little time for yourself. 😉

Sidwell Acting Company Prepares for Upcoming One Act Performance
Fourteen student actors have been working since August to put together three unique 25-minute pieces for the annual One Act Festival, which will take place on October 6-8.
According to John Elko, the director of the One Act Festival, each play tells a different story, yet are all linked by a common thread.
"Communication, or lack thereof, is the through line tying these plays together," Elko said.
The three plays examine communication in various relationships and give viewers a sense for the different ways communication-related issues can manifest themselves. The first play, "Hero Dad," explores three relationships: one between an upstairs resident and a tenant living below, the second between a jogger and narcissistic man and the third between a pregnant woman and her former partner.
The second play, "The Ballad of 423 and 424", is written in an episodic style, with 17 scenes, and follows the arc of a relationship between a couple.
"According to the playwright, Nicholas C. Pappas, the doors [between the two apartments] are the third character in the play," Elko noted.
The audience watches the relationship develop in the hallway between the doors. The viewers will see the couple move from their first meeting to an initially casual but later stable relationship and finally into an intimate romantic partnership.
The third and final play was written by Missouri-native Lanford Wilson. The play tells the story of 17 characters in a small village in the Ozark Mountains. Their individual stories fit together to form a quilt that tells the tale of the village. The play gives the viewer a sense of what everyday life is like in the community.
Elko hopes to combine the three plays into a more sophisticated production than what one would typically find at a high school.
He wants the One Act Festival to be "theater in a high school setting, not 'high school' theater," explaining that "theater in a high school setting can be viewed by someone from the outside of the school community and cause them to experience an evening of theater, whereas 'high school theater' brings to mind family members saying 'doesn't my daughter/son look cute in her/his costume?'"
Elko hopes that audience members will follow the stories and appreciate the hard work that the acting company and the student technicians contributed to the production.

If you believe the theory that parents should be the people they want their children to become, then the Fisher-Price Happy Hour Playset is the gift you should want for your kids this holiday season.
Equipped with fake beer bottles, bar stools and a pretend bar, it will give your children the opportunity to act like Mommy when she gets away for a girls' night out (minus the slurring missives about her impossible children). Accompanying the Happy Hour Playset should be Mommy's Medicine Cabinet, which is stocked with hangover remedies to get her through the next morning without murdering anyone before the kids leave for the school bus.
Oh, were the Fisher-Price Happy Hour Playset real! Alas, it is not.

The Fisher-Price hoax appeared online recently, with a Facebook user named Amiri King posting it on his page saying it was a gift for his daughter. King wrote:
"We were all eating dinner in this swanky restaurant. I was drinking a really nice margarita. I noticed a fat little hand just reach over and grab my margarita. I instantly identified this as Tilly (King's daughter) behavior. She sat the margarita in front of her, took a big drink from the straw, and said "ahhhhh." I laughed and told Tilly that my drink had "whiskey" in it. So now I constantly tease her about drinking margaritas. She gets pissed."
The playset was quickly deemed as a hoax by Snopes, which reached out to Fisher-Price, who told them, "Please know that this product is not endorsed, produced or approved by Fisher-Price."
Still, the internet has never let the truth get in the way of a good story about fake evil. Commenters everywhere blew a gasket:
"Seriously, teaching our children to drink at this age???????"
"Starting bad habits early ... Can't believe they make this horrible stuff for kids. To each (their) own, as for me I wouldn't get this for my babies. Cute as a grown-up concept though."
"It's not like it's a toy where you learn to drink alcohol. There's nothing wrong with being a bartender, but I do think it's odd that it's a toy for toddlers"
"Even though this is fake, having a child of my own, this in incredibly disgusting. 'Jokes' are why this world is full of losers."
"NO!!! Not cute!! It's exploitation of the young mind! They only sell these kinds of 'toys' in the hood! Remember the hypodermic needle pens a few years ago!" [Author's note: Um, nope.]
"Only in America does a (corporation) think it's cool to make little ones think this is OK. This is horrible, and we wonder why our family and friends' kids have problem with alcohol!!"
"Nice to teach (our) kids it's OK to drink! This really pissed me off. Who the f#$* thinks it is in any way OK for a damn child. Ff#$*ing stupid people I swear!"

Thankfully, though, others definitely got the joke, and loved it appropriately:
"Pre-installed issues or do we have to supply our children their own?"
"At least there is a pretend legal drinking age ... ages 3+. Can't have those terrible twos pretending to drink."
"To promote fine-motor skills, they include a DVD of the movie 'Cocktail,' where they learn from Tom Cruise how to flip bottles in the air and do fancy tricks."
"I definitely would get it for my granddaughter. It would be one way to ensure that I was never ask to babysit again."
"Looks like a scene you'd see at a popular Liberal Bar. Just missing CNN on a TV above the counter."
"I'm kinda sad it's not real. I would buy it and use it as a soda shop after I shocked the hell out of the in-laws ... lol."

Advil (ibuprofen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by lowering hormones that cause soreness and pain in your body.
Advil can be used to cut back fever and treat pain or inflammation owing to many conditions like headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps, or minor injury. Advil could also be used for purposes not listed within this medication guide.
Important information about Advil
Advil may lead to life-threatening heart or circulation problems for example heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term. Don't use Advil just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG). Get emergency medical help in case you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
Advil might also cause severe effects to the stomach or intestines, which includes bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These circumstances can be fatal and may occur without warning while you're taking Advil, especially in seniors. Call your doctor at once in case you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that seems like coffee grounds.
Don't take more Advil than is recommended. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. Just use the actual quantity of Advil required to get rid of your pain, swelling, or fever.
What Amount Of Advil Can I Take?
Adult Dosing is 200mg to 800mg. This can safely be repeated thrice per day for about a fortnight. If you need 800mg three times a day for more than a few days it is advisable to consult your physician about a different course of action. Most dosing guidelines on the companies bottles of ibuprofen will say that 200mg is the adult dose every 4-6 hours. Unless you have the slightest pain, the small figure 200mg is not going to do very much for everyday aches and pains. I'd say that 400mg is the minimum dose with most adults actually needing 600mg and the highest possible dose being 800mg. When I consume ibuprofen I take 600mg whether it is for a headache, hangover or any moderate bodily pain, it is the dose which I have discovered to be really effective. It is vital to follow these tips as like any NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) there can be adverse effects to not dosing ibuprofen carefully.
What should I avoid while consuming Advil?
Avoid taking Advil if you are taking aspirin to avoid stroke or heart attack. Advil will make aspirin less effective in guarding your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the Advil a minimum of 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form). Ask a physician or pharmacist prior to using some other cold, allergy, or pain medicine. Ibuprofen along with other NSAIDs are a part of many combination medicines. Taking several products together could cause you to get too much ibuprofen. Check the label to see if a medicine contains ibuprofen or similar NSAIDs. Avoid alcohol consumption. It might chance of stomach bleeding.
