Carme Chacón, Spain's first female defense minister, raised many eyebrows when she visited a marine unit deployed overseas in 2008 while she was eight months pregnant at the age of 37. The scene of a heavily pregnant woman reviewing troops has become a symbol of the civilian control over the military. Although the military was extremely exclusive to women in a country with high male chauvinism, the Spanish Socialist Party's appointment of a woman as defense minister was refreshingly shocking. She died a month ago due to her chronic disease.
It is no longer rare to see woman leadership in national defense. The Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Albania and Slovenia have female defense chiefs. In 2013, German Chancellor Angela Merkel named a mother-of-seven gynecologist as the country's first female defense minister. In Argentina and Chile, revolutionary governments appointed woman defense ministers to clean up the remnants of their military governments.
French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Sylvie Goulard, a member of the European Parliament, as defense minister in his first and gender-balanced cabinet. She is the second female defense chief of France. Tomomi Inada, Japan's right-wing politician, is also Japan's second female defense minister. It is unclear how much longer South Korea, the world's only divided nation, has to wait to see its first woman defense minister, another glass ceiling was broken on Wednesday, when former lieutenant-colonel Pi Woo-jin was named the country's female veterans affairs minister. A former special forces company commander and the first Korean woman to pilot an Army helicopter, Pi was forced to leave the Army after undergoing a breast cancer surgery in 2006, before returning to service after winning a lawsuit against the military.
During his election campaigning, President Moon Jae-in promised to appoint more women to senior government posts by starting with filling 30 percent of his first cabinet seats with women. He named Cho Hyeon-ok, a visiting professor at Ewha Womans University, as South Korea's first female senior presidential secretary for personnel affairs, taking a step toward a gender-balanced government. While chatting with his senior secretaries recently, President Moon brought up the gender topic, saying how "surprising" it was to see Peru and Chile achieving a gender-balanced cabinet and naming women as defense chiefs. Cho replied by saying that previous presidents tended to appoint women mainly to social and welfare fields and that the challenge would be to break such a fixed idea. It remains to be seen whether the Moon administration will achieve a gender-balanced cabinet and name a female defense minister.

Everyone deserves financial stability. It's your opportunity to help the Hispanic community succeed through financial education!
Do you know that the percentage of unbanked and underbanked families are higher among the Hispanic community? 21.8% of Hispanic households are unbanked, while 29.3% are underbanked. Statistically, Hispanic families are the least prepared group for unexpected expenses and emergencies, and given the current situation in this country, this leaves these families in a very vulnerable state.
But this can change with you! With your support, you will help us provide financial empowerment and stability to Hispanic families!
When you donate to Qualitas of Life Foundation, you support a financial education program carefully designed to meet the needs of the Hispanic families. Our participants learn the tools and resources they need to improve their personal finances in order to provide more opportunities for their families. Your support of a family can be the difference between their prosperity and despair. We invite you to be part of the empowerment that financial education gives to the Hispanic community.
Be one of those who make a better world for the community we serve. Help us empower Hispanic families with their financial stability!
At Qualitas of Life Foundation our mission is to provide basic financial education to Hispanic individuals and their families, in order to foster their financial security and improve their standard of living.
We invite you to watch this video to learn more about how Qualitas of Life is empowering these families.

Questions to Ask About Your Breast Cancer
You probably have a lot on your mind right now. Getting the answers to these questions can help you understand your cancer and organize your thinking. Don't worry if you don't get to cover all of them today—you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask more questions.
- What kind of breast cancer do I have? What stage is my breast cancer?
- What is the prognosis, or outlook, for my type of breast cancer? What do you recommend to improve that outlook?
- What local treatment (e.g., surgery, radiation) do you recommend?
- Will I need medical therapy? What type (e.g., hormonal therapy, chemotherapy)?
- Am I a candidate for a clinical trial?
- What kind of lifestyle modifications can I make to feel my best and to lower the risk of recurrence?
- Do you recommend genetic testing for me?
- What kind of support is available (e.g., emotional support—hospital social workers, local support groups—and information support, including websites)?
- Who on your team can I call if I have a question or need help?

The human has an innate drive to seek out predictable situations. The brain has a bias towards making the world appear static, solid and stable. Well, as we know that just isn't the case. In fact just the opposite could be claimed. The world is constantly evolving, changing, and now that we can look deep into space we can witness the delicate, precarious situation we are all in rotating around a mediocre star at the edge of just another galaxy. There is very little in this life that we can attest to including the age old unanswered questions that man has always asked. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going after I die? For example, being able to admit to the fact we can't answer any of these questions up to date is what it means to have intellectual honesty.
We humans expend a lot of energy not facing life on life's terms. We know a whole lot more each day but at the same time we know a whole lot less about a how lot more. We don't like not knowing and it becomes very evident when you consider all the ultimate hustles we encounter from everyone that insists they do know. Why is it so difficult for the human to admit when they simply do not know something? Human avoidance strategies take on many forms, addictions of all kinds, obsessions with our appearances or whatever, toxic relationships, and irrational devotions to mere beliefs, just to name a few.
When understanding the psychology of belief you want to always be on the lookout for epistemologically crippled thinking. It is the mechanism that we use to insulate our own beliefs from facts or evidence. Conformation bias is the most common go to when it comes to supporting things we want to be true. It's a common fallible way of thinking that encourages us to look only for confirming evidence in support of our cherished beliefs. Being dedicated to inquiry and sufficient demonstrable evidence for getting at the truth should be our first mission. Whether our inquiries are emotionally disruptive or not, should be put on the back burner of our thinking.
Our brains are not necessarily working in our behalf towards arriving at the truth. Research has shown whenever an individual decides he is right a shot of dopamine is released from the hypothalamus. We all know that dopamine is a feel good neurotransmitter within the brain. We can choose our feel good thoughts once we recognize that first we have a thought and than a feeling follows. For the most part what that tells us is, if we want to change the way we feel we just need to change the way we think. Thinking about what you are thinking about is called meta-cognition. Meta-cognition is a mental skill that puts you in the driver's seat of your emotional awareness.
Having intellectual honesty subjugates all thoughts to a devotion of what it means to care about what is true. Although it is a well worn axiom "the truth shall set you free," the bars of your mental cage are wrenched apart and you are no longer a prisoner to what others want you to think or believe. You are truly free, free to be your own thinker and intellectually honest.

One great thing that I have noticed over the course of my recent weight loss is that a few favourite garments that had been packed away are now being moved back into my general wardrobe.
It can be surprising how a garment used to feel when attempting to wear it, then changing my mind and packing it away. Out of sight, out of mind. I am digging out things that in some cases I had forgotten I had, specifically a certain colour of brown pant with pinstripes. I am wearing them today. Not only did they slide on very easily, but there is a small amount of room to move. They're not gaping open but the moment I had them on, I had no concerns of sitting suddenly and them splitting open at the seams, nor do they look 'ok' when standing but strangle the mid-section when sitting. It wasn't a case of wearing them whilst standing upright for a while so the fabric could loosen enough to attempt sitting, the way jeans loosen when worn. And it wasn't a case of fitting around the legs but not being able to fasten them, or not fitting around the legs at all. I think that was how they last felt. I possibly wore these 18 months ago. I now love these pants again!
I am going to go through some more 'archived' clothing this weekend to see what other gems I can now wear again. I am greatly looking forward to expanding my wardrobe, not with new garments but with clothing I already own that I have not been able to wear, either having been shamefully, uncomfortably tight or not fitting at all.
If losing 8 kilos has brightened my life this much, I can hardly wait to hit 10, then 15 and hopefully even 20. 25 would be just divine!

Freddie Roach, despite taking Amir Khan all the way to the top, was somehow still not enough for the young champion after his loss to Danny Garcia, so Amir took his career in a different direction by getting rid of Roach and trying to find a different coach, one that would improve Khan's defense.
Of all the possible options for Khan, he decided to reach out to Virgil Hunter, the long time trainer of Andre Ward.
This is indeed a very interesting move, as coach Hunt, although extremely successful with Ward, is a fairly unknown trainer compared to Roach, Steward, and a few other names.
I think that in spite of being a risky move, it could also prove to be a beneficial one. Maybe Amir and Freddie have hit some sort of plateau, and Amir thought that it was due time for a chance in his life. Of course claiming that Roach was insufficient based on his one loss is not only premature but is also naive, still, he is the one in the ring, thus he gets to make those decisions.
Personally I think that coach Hunt will mold Khan into a completely different fighter, whether he will perform better or worse we are yet to see. Regardless of what people might think and say, I am excited to see a new Khan in the ring. If Hunter can actually take Khan and make him into an unstoppable technical virtuoso like he is did with Ward, then move over Freddie Roach, we have a new blockbuster trainer on the block! I guess we will find out later this year.

Swamp People sloshes from your TV to your iPhone and iPad
But wait, there's more: Players also get venture out into the swamplands with various upgradeable boats and weapons to hunt six different types of gators. A variety of gator traps are also at players' disposal as they hunt in a full-blown 3D bayou. These boats aren't just for hunting, however, as players can race against computer-controlled swampers across eight courses.
Of course, Game Center tracks all the gator-gating and stacks you up against your friends. Interested yet? No? Well, nothing else we say can help then, aside from that this is likely the only game on the App Store that lets you hunt down alligators in the swamps of the south. Good or bad, that has to count for something ... right?

Are you a fan of Swamp People on A&E? Does the show warrant its own mobile game? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

I am working on my degree in elementary education. I am makinga digital story in which I would like to use about 30 to 45 seconds each of the music and lyrics from The Wall and Welcome to the Machine. The story could endup on the internet.
The purpose of this story is to tell of my childhood experience in public education and to explain how as a Teacher I will do things differently.
The entire story will be less than 5 mins and have the portions of the songs playing in the background as I read my story.

Hi there,
Firstly I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd and have been since my Dad first played it for me when I was little.
I have just finished Directing my Graduation Film for my University course in Film Production called "Decompressed". The story is about a young soldier returning home from a tough tour in Afghanistan and trying to reconnect with his best friend, which is in itself a challenge, as the sights he witness changed his perception on his own existence.
The film boils down to the emotional breakdown of the returned soldier where he explains what he saw first hand and in a wider picture his belief of war in general. It is for the ending that's I believe that the song "Wish You Were Here" would be perfect to use to finish the film, as it finally shows the reconnection between two best friends after a very tough ordeal.
The film is a true story based on my own experiences, so is a very personal project for me. It also means that every piece of information included in the film military or otherwise is 100% accurate.
Please visit my Decompressed's facebook page for further details located at the bottom of this message.
And for more information about me please visit my production company's (Reboot Media) facebook page, also located at the bottom of the page.
I eagerly await your response.

EMI has placed a "Copyright Violation" complaint on one of my videos which uses my own remix of "Another Brick in the Wall", so YouTube has blocked it.
The remix utilizes various portions of the Korn, Manson and Pink Floyd versions of the song with a montage of images and video depicting how Americans are being brainwashed. I grew up with this music, and I feel the video captures and updates the essence and original message that the band originally intended. Unfortunately, in doing so I seem to have made someone at EMI uncomfortable.
I feel the political message is the real reason EMI continues to object to the video since others are allowed to use the same music in their videos with impunity. I would like to share the video with someone who might be able to persuade EMI to change their minds and allow my video to go public again.
Thank You,
DJ Jimi

Hello, my aunt died this Saturday, suddenly, only 49 years old. She did not die in war, but she worked in the Norwegian air force for several years (1982-2001). She loved the music of Roger Waters…. She had tickets to his show at Telenor arena 2013… and she was so proud! We are now waiting for the autopsi rapport, before we can arrange the funeral… and I know, this is probably a really stupid question for you, but… Do you think R.W could use 5 minutes to tape something or something that we can use in her funeral? She was so eager to go to the concert, and that will not happen:( Her name: Merethe Solheim, born: 23.01.1963 died: 19.01.2013… He could even write something… Just, so … yeah..

I seek your approval to adapt a PF prism artwork
image into a safe-driving e-tutorial. That art-work can help reveal the essence of safe driving,
save many lives and thereby honor the image and
its source. The tutorial may publish by June, 2012 (yes, this year).
With anticipation for your
precious reply,Stewart

Dear PF Official:
I seek approval to insert a Pink Floyd prism-artwork image (that I found recently with the Yahoo search engine) into several places in a safe-driving tutorial that I plan to self-publish in May or June of 2013 (this year.
The image … shows a white ray of light descending through a triangular prism
from right to left. Two of the prism's three corner points are pointed up and its sharpest point is pointed straight down from there.
The prism splits the light into six rainbow-color upward rays that exit to the left.
I plan to label the prism and each of the six rays to make an analogy to driving.
I'll gladly attribute the image part to Pink Floyd or I will not list any attribution
if your decision maker(s) prefer(s).
This prism image helps convey the tutorial message of safe dring which in turn will honor the image and its source.
I thank you for your consideration and look forward with anticipation to your reply.
Respectfully, Stewart, email@example.com

I wanted to let others know about a You Tube series of (extra short) items acting as promos for syncs. They are there to highlight some very interesting finds + some already known ones. The latter are, of course, ones known to those running this site and no doubt to many visitors. There are some great new (or at least 'newish') things there, at least in so much as that there is invariably a strong continuum between newer 'finds' and those that are well established. Therefore, you can't know for sure if any given thing is altogether new or not.
This little catalogue(I think)goes by the general title: "How to make an A1 movie-length music clip using Alice in Wonderland 2010)" [or whichever movie is featured in that spot – eg. Wizard of Oz; The Great & Powerful Oz; Charlie & the Chocolate Factory; Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory; The NeverEnding Story; etc.
- July 18th, 2013 at 10:14 pm
Very quickly & further to the above, the name for my collection of little items on you tube now goes something like this:
"This classic movie + listening2PinkFloyd = wild & crazy" etc (includes slight variations to cover reference to 'dub' tribute version of DSOM)
- July 19th, 2013 at 4:40 am
Of course, as I may have seen elsewhere on this website, Alan Parsons (Pink Floyd's recording engineer for DSOM)has said, the ideal synchronisation can be somewhat subjective and any particular match can remain quite effective even if the alignment strays anything up to ten seconds either way. This is due to the way mind grabs associations that work, in favour of those that don't, apparently. Sounds logical enough (:

Promising not to dwell on areas of slight difference of opinion, I just wanted to point out that(of course)if I said that there was something I suspected was good but hadn't FULLY checked it out – well yes – you (ie. me/myself/I) can turn out to be wrong: MGM's 'J & the B/stalk' is a fine example of my instinct and initial testing being wrong(& in a big way). Not even the alternative version, I've referred to several times, of DSOM, can save that one. Accoringly, the rather more 'staid' fantasy stories on film especially if they are cartoons intended almost exclusively for children can usually easily stand(or even need)'jazzing up' somewhat with that alternative version. Though the notion of waves of tension-building(& the reverse, intermittently)within waves…within waves…etc goes a long way to enforcing the workability of DSOM in many of those contexts, but a certain extra/added 'oomph' can still come in handy in the form of that alternative version of DSOM. There is a thing called 'Moog Side of the Moon' I believe, which may have an application also – I'm not sure! By the way when matching fantasy style to fantasy style OR gothic style to gothic style(along the lines I've run past you)it is sometimes necessary to start the first track on the second scene, or the second track on the first scene etc etc (as I know you do do the likes of that , at times)or 'whatever' (like that). I think Rocky Horror required skipping the first scene if matched with VDGG compilation, or similar, blah blah blah. Of course, there's no denying that The Works 'works'best with Fantasia; The Wall works best with Alice in Wonderland(1951)and so on, AND that knowledge is couresy of yourself (& co.)
Thank You once again, PBT

To Whom It May Concern:
Sorry that Roger Waters is urging other musicians to boycott Israel. Since he is so politically correct, he might as well urge others to boycott jeans, thumb drives, many vaccines and text messaging, to name a few and which were all invented by Jews. He may argue that there's a difference between Israel and Jews and boycotting Israel doesn't make him anti-Semitic. But in reality, it's just a modern-day form of anti-Semitism. Maybe he should try living in Israel for an hour or two to see what really goes on because he's so far afield and gullible, he apparently has no idea what he's talking about. Thank you.

My very first Pink Floyd listening experience was when I was a little girl. My older sister had the Dark Side of the Moon album, and when she would play it, I would sit by the door to her room to listen! That was 37 years ago and I have loved their music since then, and have been to two concerts………..Awesome!
I am writing to inquire on how to legally and respectfully add music from Pink Floyd to some of my videos that I am creating for internet sharing sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and maybe a couple more. I am new to this and would like to know how to accomplish this, if it is indeed a possibility. I thank you for your time and consideration with my request.
Sincerely, Laura Bishop

I could begin this e-mail writing the usual things: I love Pink Floyd and so on; but I think you know that: otherwise I wouldn't be here writing to you… so, I'm a filmmaker who's just getting started into film business; I've just finished my first short film (art-house style, some would say); I really have no money: I did it with two lenses and a Mark II!!!; but still I think is a remarkable thing I've accomplished… I'm planning to participate in La mostra di Venezia this year… I think you can immagine that the only music that really matches my short is yours; I would really love to talk about the rights and all the other copyright stuff. I hope you will consider this e-mail and I'm looking forward for your answer.
sorry for my bad english: I'm italian.

Dear PF Official:
Good afternoon.
I posted as #19 on April 10th, 2013 on this very web-site (see above,seeking your approval to adapt a PF prism image into a spectacular, iconic-to-be, safe-driving e-tutorial. That adapted artwork can save many lives by conveying crucial concepts in their best order and thereby honor the image and its source.
Here, I'm offering to you, probably for the last time, to approve that image for the tutorial which should publish this year. Adapted image and tutorial sample upon request.
Without your prompt approval, I'll seek other prism images to convey the concepts and garner the honors.
Respectfully, Stewart, firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm sure you've heard a flood of compliments and comments on the beauty of your music and how it transends time, and I fully agree with those points, but I digress: a mear sliver of the song "Time" would perfectly complete the short film I am working on for my portfolio which would be included in my application to Emerson, which is my dream school. Regardless of wheather or not this message is relayed, I greatly appreciate your music; it played a huge role in ameliorating my life during difficult times, and this is why I would love to include it in my work.

Hi there, as a huge fan who has all your old records and some cd,s also going to concerts, I find it disturbing that a NZ building company can have a fleet of vehicles and company logo, everyone here see,s as associated with Pink Floyd, to the point the hammers are a feature of there company logo. This company is getting very bad comments via web sites in NZ related to EQ repairs and words spreading. Waghorn Builders arnt Pink Floyd or do you collectively own this company.

Hi Guys,
I've been looking to get my Dad a present for his 50th birthday on Sunday 27th September. He loves Pink Floyd with passion and has already booked to watch The Wall at the cinema. However, I really want to make this birthday special for him as he's such a nice man and truly has been the best Dad ever. I was wondering if I could somehow arrange for him to meet even one of the members of his favourite band. Obviously I understand you guys have a busy schedule but you'd really make him amazed if he got the chance to meet any of you guys. I'm 16, and therefore can't afford to pay you much. However I will promise to pay your travel if you came to Basingstoke, England or even somewhere near such as London. I'd really appreciate an email back as I'm yet to get him a present.
Thank you for your time.

Hello gentlemen,
I would like to ask permission for adding the title of 'Great gig in the sky' to a glass sculpture I'm working on.. Since it's completely inspired by this song.
It's a large goblet-like foot, white clouds, and on top of that a purple lady, singing.

In my last post I asked some incredibly pressing questions to Dr. Scott Sampson aka Scott the Paleontologist. Questions that any parent of a Dinosaur Train fan wants to know...
I got a reply and I have to say Dr. Scott is hilarious and pretty awesome... But I'm a fan of science humor...
So here are his responses in line with mine. They're in blue because that's the color of most of Shiny Pteranodon.
Dear Scott the Paleontologist,
My son Miloh and I are fans of Dinosaur Train and as an avid fan I have some questions regarding it that I hope you can answer:
The train is a steam engine. Does it run off coal? If it does use coal is there a possibility that greenhouse gases from that could have lead to the extinction of dinosaurs? How come this isn't a theory?
Very interesting question. Yes, to the best of my knowledge, the Dinosaur Train runs on fossil fuels, but we actually do have an episode upcoming where we investigate alternative fuel trains. Given that the latter occurred prior to the end of the Mesozoic Era, we can conclusively say that the Train did not lead to the dinosaur extinction.
If you want to explore that theory more let me know and we can co-author a paper.
Will we ever meet Shiny's real father? I mean c'mon she's blue. Mr. Pteranodon is not here dad... In fact, I have a hypothesis (an idea you can test). I think Mrs. Pteranodon kept Buddy's egg in the nest so any time Mr. brings up Shiny's real dad she can change the subject by saying something like "did we ever figure out how Buddy's egg got in the nest?"
Interesting hypothesis (you know, an idea you can test), but I think there are sufficient morphological features (long beak, crest, elongate leathery wings, etc.) to show that Shiny is in fact a Pteranodon. But hey, I could be wrong.
Is there any behind the scenes footage in which after meeting a dino Buddy pretends to forget something and goes back to the dino and eats it?
That "point of fact" guy said dinosaurs didn't create art from gourds. Is that really a fact? I mean can he prove no deinonychus made gourd art?
Point taken. To the best of our knowledge . . . .
Is it appropriate for Tiny to be singing about her "tiny place"?
No comment.
I'm guessing diggers have found evidence of the train, as well as the documentary footage used in the show, but has anyone been able to figure out the technology of time travel that they used? Is that what's in Area 51? If you told me would you have to kill me? If the answer to the last question is yes I prefer not to know.
Given your last request, it's best I simply don't answer this one.
What was more upsetting to you? When you learned that dinosaurs and people didn't live at the same time ( like on the Flintstones)? Or when you found out Brontosauruses (Brontosaurii?) were fake? Either way it proves the Flintstones were a lie and it's sad either way.
For me it was the Brontosaurus thing...
I was inspired to learn that dinosaurs and people didn't live at the same time (makes them all the more mysterious; Flintstones be damned). But yes, as with you, the loss of Brontosaurus was blow.
I think that's it... I really do love the show. My son does too... If you discover a new dinosaur feel free to name it after him. Milohsaurus would be ok but we'd prefer MFosaurus or Emeffosaurus.
Thanks... Kenny
So we've learned that Dr. Scott is pretty funny and a good guy. We also learned that there's some really interesting things going on in connection to Area 51 and the dinosaur train.
He ended the response by telling Miloh that he sends a GIANT hello... I did this and then took it further... Now any time we need him to do something, like neb, we tell him Dr. Scott does it. For instance Dr. Scott got so tall because he nebbed (no idea if he did).
Or don't cry if you're train breaks you can put it together like Dr. Scott puts together dinosaurs...
Or did you know Dr. Scott doesn't take his dog for a walk when it snows? Why don't you just watch me while I go out.
That could be breaking doctor/patient privilege but I guess that's ok since he's not that kind of doctor and I'm not his patient.

Anyone who lives a stone's throw from a natural foods store has probably already treated themselves to these wholesome snacks. What you probably don't know is how incredibly easy they are to make, so long as you've got a food processor at your disposal.
Coconut Date Rolls
20 Medjool dates
½ cup Walnuts or Almonds
1 cup (more or less) Shredded coconut, unsweetened
1. Slice each date in half and remove the pit.
2. Throw the walnuts in a food processor and pulse into smithereens.
3. Toss in the pitted dates and continue to pulse until a paste is formed.
4. Form the paste into individual balls and roll in shredded coconut.
Not even five steps. Easy peasy!

Caring for our patients is HCA's first priority. We are proud that thousands of leading physicians and consultants choose to run their private practice from an HCA hospital or specialist treatment centre. It's important our consultants are able to focus on patients and clinical quality. We therefore place great emphasis on supporting our doctors as little or as much as they need so that they can focus on patient care. We invest a great deal in training and development programmes for our nursing and other specialist medical staff and provide bespoke administrative services for independent practitioners, taking the burden of managing a practice away from busy consultants.
As a network, HCA provides the following services to support doctors in providing excellent patient care:
Consulting rooms and on-call accommodation adjacent to diagnostic and treatment facilities
In order to minimise worry and begin treatment as soon as possible, we aim to have patients who come for a consultation undergo any necessary diagnostic tests and, receive the results as quickly as possible. This requires our doctors to be able to see patients in close proximity to our diagnostic and treatment facilities (for example MRI machines, CT scanners, gamma cameras). To achieve this we licence our consulting rooms to doctors on an hourly or sessional basis at market rates, which we determine by passing through the rent we pay to landlords plus overheads (including rates, services charges, utilities) at c. £17.50 per hour.
As we run 24/7 facilities it is imperative that we have doctors on call onsite throughout the day and night. To facilitate this we provide accommodation to doctors at a market rate, which is calculated in the same way as consulting room fees.
General support services
Medical secretary support
To ensure the smooth running of our hospitals' sessions, HCA employs medical secretaries to liaise with patients, deal with correspondence, make appointments and handle patients' enquiries on doctors' behalf. We then charge doctors for the use of these medical secretaries at the hourly market rate of c. £21-£24 per hour.
Our doctors generally work part time at our facilities, and this arrangement provides flexible secretarial support in the way that makes life easiest for patients. HCA can employ medical secretaries to work for a number of doctors and/or manage complex processes such as payroll, making the arrangement efficient both for doctors and for the hospital.
Secure and efficient data storage
To ensure the security of patient data, we provide secure data storage and IT support for all the doctors who work with us. In fact, we are very proud of some of the key innovations that we have introduced to improve patient care, including award-winning clinical software such as Patient Keeper. This ground-breaking software gives physicians access to all their patients' information, integrated from multiple systems across a hospital in a secure, streamlined way, on their computers or mobile devices. This allows doctors to review their patients' clinical data, lab results and images of scans in real time wherever they are, meaning that they can assess risk and act if necessary.
Bespoke professional support services
Galen Health Partners, an HCA subsidiary, provides doctors with access to bespoke services that support and enhance their medical practice. By partnering with third party service providers, Galen facilitates doctors' access to services including website designers, financial advisers, insurers, medical invoicing specialists and software companies that provide practice management tools, all of which services it recommends. Doctors can use Galen as a one-stop service for outsourcing the non-medical elements of their practice.
In addition, where appropriate, we contribute to the cost of training and professional development of doctors via external training and attendance at medical conferences.
Car parking spaces
In addition to the above, some of our facilities have car parking spaces available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
From time to time, facilities arrange events to which doctors are invited.
2015: Consultant x-mas party at £163.32 per head
2016: Consultant x-mas party at £167.69 per head
2017: Consultant x-mas party at £86.34 per head
"Putting patients first" was the founding philosophy of the doctors who established HCA in 1968. Since then, we have worked closely with medical professionals to put the health and wellbeing of all patients at the centre of what we do. Working closely with doctors is integral to our delivery of excellent patient care across all our hospital facilities.
HCA's medical advice and clinical quality processes:
HCA offers wide-ranging care to patients, as well as the delivery of complex specialisms, including but not limited to: complex cancer services; cardiac surgery; neurosurgery; organ transplantation; and, complex paediatric care. We provide the highest level of intensive care (level 3) in each of our hospital facilities to support that complexity of care. We also have a team of preeminent consultant doctors who work with us to advise us on clinical quality.
Our clinical quality processes are designed to ensure that we are able to manage complex services and facilitate the best possible care for patients. As in the NHS, senior doctors spend a proportion of their time: overseeing audits and clinical governance procedures; reading and disseminating management guidelines and policies; serving on specialty advisory committees and Departmental Management Teams; carrying out hospital subcommittee duties; taking on Lead Clinician roles; updating unit documentation; dealing with complaints, clinical incident investigations and critical incident reviews; and, participating in local clinical governance committees and local and national guideline groups.
Our advisers are among the most respected and eminent consultants in the UK, and our patients benefit from the high-level clinical advice of doctors who are leaders in their fields.
HCA's clinical advisers:
HCA works closely with a number of esteemed medical advisors. Amongst HCA's advisers are Professors in the following specialties: breast surgery, cancer care, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, dermatology, gastroenterology, general medicine, haematology, hepato-pancreatic-biliary, intensive care, interventional radiology, orthopaedics, obstetrics, respiratory medicine, rheumatology and urology.
HCA's medical advisers have collectively authored over 5,000 papers in a range of publications such as the Lancet, the British Medical Journal, the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as numerous leading specialty-specific publications.
Our advisers are founders, presidents, chairmen and representatives of dozens of national and international specialty bodies. Many are active in the Royal College of Surgeons and other Royal Colleges, in addition to which a number are active tutors, examiners, trustees and council members.
As senior clinicians, our advisers are often sought to consult on health issues for governmental and intergovernmental organisations including the UK Trade and Investment department (UKTI), the Department of Health, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
We are extremely proud that these consultant doctors choose to work with HCA.
Fees charged by clinical advisers:
HCA is charged an hourly rate by consultant doctors in return for their expertise and advice on how to operate excellent hospital facilities. These hourly rates are calculated on the amount that those consultants earn in the independent sector for their clinical work.
The vast majority of doctors who provide advice to HCA also have practicing privileges to treat patients in our facilities, but are under absolutely no obligation to do so. They are free to treat patients at any other private facility as opposed to HCA's in compliance with the Bribery Act, GMC guidance and the Private Healthcare Market Investigation Order 2014.
Advisers' NHS commitments:
Whilst c. 10% of the doctors who advise HCA have retired from the NHS after an average of 30-35 years practice, 90% still practice in the NHS.
HCA is passionate about ensuring that the advice we receive from consultants should in no way compromise their NHS commitments. According to a 2013 National Audit Office report, 97% of consultants have an NHS Work Plan that outlines their commitments to the NHS and the time they can give to independent sector work. In that report, most trusts stated that consultants, on completing their "programmed activities", work an additional programmed activity at standard rates for the NHS, where required, before undertaking private practice work.
HCA requires the doctors that provide us with medical advice to attest that they are not compromising their NHS commitments to do so.
Across our network, we have advisers who benefit all or our facilities via the sharing of best practice. At Harley Street at University College Hospital in particular, the lead advisers are:

BTEC Level 4 Certificate for First Person on Scene (RQF) is the latest qualification launched in 2017 by Pearsons. FPOS Basic, Intermediate and Enhanced do not exist anymore and it has been replaced by a new regulated version. This is the part two of the course for those who have completed the video online part one from ProTrainings.
The First Person on Scene FPOS course is designed for those involved in providing initial emergency care, for example, Community Responders, Fire and Police Officers, personnel involved in the security industry, senior cabin crew and industrial first aiders.
Taking the first aider on to the next level, topics in this course include pre-hospital assessment, respiration and airway management, Advanced CPR/AED (adult, child and infant) circulation and shock and trauma-related injuries, medical emergencies, Oxygen therapy and spinal immobilisation.
The new FPOS qualification leads itself to blended training very easily. With ProTrainings online part you will complete a series of videos, knowledge review questions to test your understanding and a short online test. You will also complete an open response question book which is taken to your practical lesson to confirm your understanding and save time in the classroom.
Delivered in a blended or 100% classroom format, this qualification is endorsed by the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (Edinburgh) and is certified through Edexcel. First Person on Scene (FPOS) Intermediate is fully recognised by the Security Industry Authority. The qualifications and any additional Units are valid for a period of 3 years. Periodic re-training and assessment of both the practical skills and supporting knowledge will, therefore, be required.
The course is available in two versions, this the standard certificate and the extended certificate covering more subjects.
There are no pre-requisites for this course, however, first aid knowledge is recommended.
This course is also an ideal standalone video online course to improve your first aid knowledge and understanding.
The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.
This course gives learners the opportunity to gain a formally recognised regulated qualification. If you require funding, a regulated qualification is often required. Phone us and we can advise if needed. If you choose our course leading to a regulated qualification, there are additional assessment criteria to be undertaken with an instructor and a small extra certification charge.

For new Experts or Experts new to premium services, live phone calls with customers can be intimidating and full of what-ifs. What if they reject my phone call offers? What if I cannot answer their questions on the spot? What if they are located in another country?
While these are valid concerns, there are major advantages for fulfilling phone calls as well. Phone calls are a great way to earn additional money, offer more value and build trust with customers.
To help you get started, we've buzzed a few phone savvy Experts to chime in with their best phone call tips and they answered in a HUGE way.
1. Let us help
Many Experts are reluctant to offer phone calls simply because they don't think customers would accept. Nathan, Tech Expert, admits, "I sometimes feel guilty sending a phone support offer myself if I feel that the question isn't worth the cost or it is simple enough that a call really just shouldn't be necessary."
With Auto Phone Call, we initiate the ask and let you know if customers are interested in phone calls. "The auto phone call offer excels at putting phone support on the table at a reasonable price for the novice user," says Dustin, Tech Expert.
2. No phone? No problem
We surveyed Experts on why they wouldn't accept phone call requests and a large percentage said it's because they don't have good alternatives to their personal phones. Luckily, there's an integrated phone call feature on JustAnswer that allows you to call customers through the site! After accepting a phone call request, all you have to do is enter your callback number and initiate the call through the site. Our system will then dial out to both you and the customer. Once both sides are connected, then you can start your conversation. Click here to learn more >>
3. What about international fees?
We get thousands of questions from international customers every week so chances are, you've seen a few of them. But what do you do if those customers request phone calls? Dustin answers, "I use Skype. The great thing about a Skype subscription is that regardless of what country a customer is in, Skype has affordable pay-as-you-go and flat rate plans that will allow you to call."
If your customer also has a Skype account, you can make free Skype-to-Skype calls. This is the same for Google Hangouts and Apple FaceTime, depending on which service both you and the customer have.
We plan to expand our integrated phone call feature to support international calls soon. Stay tuned!
4. Get over the fear
It's natural to feel a little anxiety when talking on the phone with people you don't know. But it may help to remind yourself that your customers are dealing with personal problems and counting on you to help guide them. Nathan advises, "Don't be afraid. Talking to a customer on the phone is really no different than in person. Treat them as if you were there with them."
How do you do that? He adds, "Show the 'smile' in your voice and have a positive attitude. Too often we are getting into a call after a tense or difficult exchange via Q&A and they are frustrated. You need to be able to calm them down, show empathy, and express a genuine desire to help them."
5. Identify the right customers for phone calls
With the auto phone call offer feature, the customer initiates the request rather than Experts. But, you decide whether you want to fulfill the request or not. How do you know if you should accept the call? One way is by reading the customer's cues. "Many customers, especially the tech-phobic and older crowd just don't like to type. They don't understand what you mean when you ask for more information, and being on a call helps you to better direct the conversation where it needs to go to collect the necessary information," offers Nathan.
Experts are really good at sensing the depth of questions. If you feel that too much time will be spent going back and forth on Q&A or if you've shared a document, suggest a phone call to better help and follow up.
6. Know your stuff before you make the call
You are all Experts in your fields and we are truly confident of that. However, there are still times when you're caught off-guard by a question or simply need to double-check some information. With phone calls, you don't really have the luxury to research. Dustin recommends, "My first piece of advice would be that before you accept the phone call offer, ask yourself 'how comfortable are you talking about the specific problem and explaining the solutions to it?' If you feel very confident, absolutely accept the phone call offer. You will save yourself and the customer a lot of time as well as generate more income for the company, and yourself." James agrees, "If you really know your stuff, I would recommend you try phone calls at least once! You may find it's easier than you think."
We suggest that if you do get into a situation where you're unsure of how to answer a question on the phone, let the customer know you will verify the information and confirm in detail via Q&A after the call. This will give you a chance to do more research while showing the customer that you are thorough.
7. Cut right to the chase
Time is money for Experts so a frequent feedback we get about phone calls is that they take up a lot of time. But James, Car Expert, counters, "When you speak with customers on the phone, you can save hours of typing back and forth."
How? James adds, "You always run into some questions that may be a little confusing. It's easier to understand a customers' temperament and answer their questions if you speak to them. Cut right to the chase and deal with their main issues." To James' point, if you realize quickly that a question is too complicated to resolve over Q&A, it may save you time to hop straight to the phone.
8. Do more with phone
The great thing about mobile technology today is that you're no longer limited to just voice calls. With services like Skype, Google Voice and Apple FaceTime, you can take phone calls to the next level by integrating video. "Skype video can be a major asset when it comes to troubleshooting hardware issues. Just have them point their phone or webcam at the problem so you can visually see it," notes Dustin.
9. Make more money
While this is not a phone call tip, we like to remind Experts why you should fulfill more phone call requests. "I like the one on one with the customers plus the money that comes with it," says Tan. When you fulfill a phone call request, you are automatically given a 5-star rating, payout for the original question and payout for the premium service. James adds, "I feel if I was able to take every question and make it an premium service call, I would double my actual income with JA."

Cost Segregation Benefit Analysis Request Form
Primary Contact: Gennaro J. DiBello
Enjoy a windfall for real property constructed or purchased in a prior tax year or in the current tax year.
If you built or purchased real estate but did not have a cost segregation study, you now have a valuable opportunity. An IRS procedure now allows you to deduct depreciation amounts that you are legally entitled to, but did not claim, entirely in the tax year in which you complete a study. This could be due to erroneous property classification as a 39-year depreciable building, for example.
Our cost segregation consultants possess the engineering expertise and the necessary tax compliance skills to perform a cost segregation study and let you accelerate tax depreciation deductions, reduce taxes and increase your cash.
Cost Segregation Benefit Analysis
To receive a free analysis of your property and to find out if you can benefit from a cost segregation study, please complete the brief information request form, and we will contact you.

It was cold and wet beyond belief and most people were wrapped up indoors and making the most of modern comforts, like central heating and showers. We weren't. We decided that what we needed was a trip to the Lake District in our van. We packed all our blankets, jumpers, coats, boots and thermals into the small storage compartments in the back of our van and made sure we had plenty of gas and heating supplies for the next week. We packed numerous dog coats and blankets too for Winston the Pug. Our plan was simple. We were not going to let the weather stop our fun!
As we slowly, (our van only does slowly), made our way up north on the dreaded M6 motorway, being overtook by haulage lorries and being buffeted by strong sidewinds, my optimism started to drain. The weather was awful. The wipers barely coped with the spray from the traffic and the snow was building up on the embankments the further north we traveled. There was no turning back now though. Whether it was due to stubbornness or resilience we continued the journey north and after 5 hours on the road we arrived at our destination.
We are members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club for times just like this. Wild camping is brilliant and you can end up in some amazing locations, but when the weather is against you and you're already battling the gods, (or so it seemed), you need a stable base to build your adventures from. We stayed at the Meathop Fell club site. Nestled in amongst tall trees in the south of the Lake District National Park, it was a perfect location to explore the southern lakes. Windermere and Coniston Water were close by, as was Grizedale Forest.
We set the van up ready for our week in one of the most beautiful places on Earth; The English Lakes.
Our first 2 days consisted of rain and more rain. We entertained ourselves as much as we could, playing games, cooking tasty one stove meals and exploring the local area. After a few days we started to go a little mad and had to leave the local area so we started to make some plans.
Grizedale Forest is a large forest in between Windermere and Coniston Water. It is managed by the Forestry Commission and therefore has many of the activities that other Forestry Commission sites have throughout the U.K. Mountain Biking, Rope Courses and other visitor attractions are subtly built into the trees. There are also many hiking trails and that's what we planned to explore. We aimed to get to the highest part of the forest and hopefully grab a view of both lakes to the east and west. We arrived in the rain and got prepared for our hike. Waterproof trousers and hiking boots were on. Winston had 2 coats on and was ready for an adventure, or at ready to be dragged on one anyway! Jumpers and hats were donned and we put snacks and drinks in our backpacks. Our Peoples Poncho's were on and we set off to find our viewpoint.
The paths were like rivers! I am not just saying they were wet. They had a constant flow of 2 inch water flowing down them. We"paddled"our way up through the winding paths. We soon became part of the forest. The trees enveloped us and our course, and rather than showing us the way to go it felt like the forest was a big playground for us to explore as we wanted. When you are in a wild space during extreme weather you can't fight it. You have to allow it to do whatever it wants to do. Today the forest wanted us to get wet. The drops falling off the trees hit us on our Poncho hoods like walnuts falling from the trees. Our faces were showered with a cold misty breeze every time the wind managed to get through the canopy above us. We didn't mind though. We kept walking happy to be part of nature and experiencing the forest on a day like this.
The People's Ponchos were keeping us dry. In fact when we stopped for lunch and pulled my poncho up to reveal my backpack the backpack was dry and therefore, more importantly, my cake was dry!
When we reached the summit of our woodland walk we were met with cloud. The two lakes of Windermere and Coniston Water could not be seen! Rather than feeling disappointed we just looked at the rolling clouds and mist rising from the tree tops. We sat atop some rocks and enjoyed the view. Our walk back down took us through pine trees and then something quite extraordinary happened. The forest thanked us! The clouds departed and blue skies were revealed. The sun burnt through the tree canopies and started to dry the forest floor. The birds came out of their storm hideouts and ventured forth for their dinner. We removed various layers of clothing until we were hiking in short sleeved t-shirts! The challenges laid before us in the morning had not only been beautiful and insistent they had rewarded us with a glorious ending to our hike.
We headed back to the campsite for some warm grub and ale knowing that we had been treated by nature to a delightful display of weather and all it can offer us. It taught me a lesson. Never let bad weather get in your way. Never let the rain stop you doing something. It's only water and you will dry out! Put having fun first. Let your happiness be your priority and acknowledge that you've got to make the most of every moment. We continued using our van throughout the year whatever the weather. We travelled around the U.K. and Europe in it not worrying about the weather. All we worried about was having fun!
Don't overthink your decisions. Your instincts can serve you well.

Hambidge provides a residency program that empowers talented individuals to explore, develop, and express their creative voices. Situated on 600 acres in the mountains of north Georgia, Hambidge is a sanctuary of time and space that inspires individuals working in a broad range of disciplines to create works of the highest caliber.
We pledge to offer a nurturing retreat, preserve Hambidge's pristine natural environment, and provide public educational programming.
The Hambidge Center is a Member of the Alliance for Artist Communities.
Documentary filmmaker Hal Jacobs offers a fascinating look into the life of our founder, Mary Hambidge, and the creation of the Hambidge Center.
As one of the first artist communities in the U.S., the Hambidge Center has a distinguished history of supporting individual artists in a residency program. The Center also continues to act as a steward of its extraordinary 600-acre setting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Center was created in 1934 by Mary Hambidge, who established the artist enclave and sustainable farm in memory of her artist partner, Jay Hambidge (1867–1924). After a brief career as a performer on vaudeville stages (Mary was a world-class whistler who appeared with her pet mockingbird Jimmy), she discovered weaving and eventually found her home among Appalachian weavers in the North Georgia mountains.
In the early days of Hambidge, she employed local women to create exceptional weavings that would one day be featured in many exhibits including the Smithsonian and MOMA. Later she broadened the scope of the Center by inviting artists for extended stays. After her death in 1973, the Center evolved into a formal and competitive residency program open to creative individuals from all walks of life.
The Hambidge Center is a member of the Alliance of Artist's Communities and was recognized with the 1996 Cultural Olympiad Regional Designation Award in the Arts.
A lifelong pursuit of creativity along with a love of dynamic symmetry and natural beauty led Mary Hambidge to develop an artist's community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She also possessed an entrepreneurial spirit to leave the artist community of New York City behind in the 1930s to become a fulltime weaver on her newly acquired farm in north Georgia. Creativity and entrepreneurialism are still the driving forces at Hambidge today.
Mary Crovatt was born in 1885 and grew up in the small coastal town of Brunswick, Ga. After spending her teenage years at a boarding school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she moved to New York City in 1905, where she pursued acting and artist's modeling. Resourceful and vivacious, the diminutive redhead (4'9" with flaming red hair) also took to the vaudeville stage as a professional whistler accompanied by Jimmy, her pet mockingbird. After nearly a decade of working as a model and singer, her life took a dramatic turn when she became involved with Jay Hambidge (1867–1924), an artist and writer who achieved fame with his books on design and "dynamic symmetry." His theory of proportion, linking natural human and plant growth to the classical Greek design, became popular among other artists such as Maxwell Armfield, George Bellows, and Robert Henri, among others. Tiffany and Company based a collection of jewelry on his design theory and the Chrysler Corporation employed his tenets in designing a line of automobiles. In 1919, Jay Hambidge's research took the couple to Greece where Mary was drawn to the ancient art of weaving and where she learned the fundamentals of the craft that would become her life's work.
His ideas on design and their travels to Greece made a deep, lasting impact on Mary Hambidge, who took his last name although they never married. Ten years after his sudden death in 1924, she would apply what she learned – that creativity can best be nurtured through working closely with nature – by establishing the Hambidge retreat and a sustainable farm.

Ask Me Anything
Originally from the midwest, I relocated to the Seattle area in 1982, drawn to this area by the mountains, the sound, and the outdoor opportunities available here. I had just completed a masters degree in Public Health, which I obtained from the University of Michigan. After working in health care administration for ten years, I decided to leave the corporate world, and join the world of real estate, which had always been of interest to me. Since that time, I have worked throughout the greater Seattle area, specializing in the sale of residential and investment properties. Currently a Managing Broker, I possess ABR, GRI, CRS, and ASP certificatons. Throughout my career, I have taught real estate classes in the community, recognizing the importance of education and knowledge to both buyers and sellers.I have two daughters, both adopted from China. Jenne is now 20, and a student at the University of Washington. My younger daughter Ella is 14 and a freshman at Meadowdale High School. I am very active in the Edmonds community, where my family resides. We have hosted international students from Edmonds Community College for many years, which has been a very interesting and rewarding, and sometimes challenging, experience. As a big supporter of Edmonds Center for the Arts, I have served as a volunteer for the past eight years. And when I'm not busy with real estate, my family, and our international students, I am still very active i the outdoors, where I enjoy hiking, camping, and especially sailing.

This solved the problem, thank you.
thanks! solved my problem as well!
solved my problem, too, thx
Solved using your info! Thanks. Just an update for those who do not know exactly how to make it happen:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhostname
The bold section needs to be changed with your personal host name. You can find it by typing in console
Then you will know how to make it correct.
Thank you!
Thank you
This solved the problem, thank you so much for save my time.
Confirmed that this is still a working solution! THANK YOU so much!
Still works. Thank you!
@oliversimon I'm a little new to server management, so pardon me if the questions sound a little stupid, but here goes:
1) When you wrote "localhost.localdomain" and "localhost", those were as is, and not meant to be replaced with anything, correct?
2) my mail.log output showed the following:
"unable to qualify my domain name (pokemon-nyc1) – using short name"
Does the solution you provided still apply?
3) In the hosts file, I have an existing entry for:
127.0.1.1 pokemon-nyc1 pokemon-nyc1
Am I correct in assuming that the "yourhostname" is, in this case, 'pokemon-nyc1' ? Should the new 127.0.0.1 line then replace the 127.0.1.1 line already existing in the system?
@oliversimon okay ignore my post, I found it out by good old-fashioned trial-and-explosion :D
Hello friend, as finally do you fix the problem? I am also new to server administration.
