First aid basics
Its important to have a good understanding of first aid basics. There may come a time when someone you love or you yourself are injured and medical attention is required. This content is meant to cover the basics. Read it over. Its old info for some. If others find anything new or informative in it, they would do well to remember it.
If someone around you suddenly collapses do you know what to do? CPR is a valuable skill everyone should take the time to learn. First check the person by gently shaking them and shouting "are you okay" to see if they are responsive. If no response is given place your pointer finger and middle finger under the chin and lift up gently. This opens up the airways. If no neck injury is suspected tilt their head back also. Once the airway is open pinch their nose, inhale, lock mouth to mouth with an airtight seal and give two breaths of air. Ensure that their chest rises. If not lift the chin and try again.
Here is where it can get physically demanding for some. Place the palm of your hands on their sternum directly between the nipples. Interlock your fingers keeping them off the chest, straighten your arms and bring your shoulders straight down pushing hard and fast. You need to complete 30 of these compression's every 2 breaths. If an able body is near and you feel that you're getting tired, switch places.
Cuts and abrasions
Thoroughly clean (don't scrub) the wound with your choice of disinfectant and a gauze pad. Scrubbing can cause more damage. Wrap one of the adhesive bandages around the wound. If the blood flow is serious (deep cut) apply enough pressure to stop the blood flow and quickly wrap the wound. When the layers becomes soaked with blood, rather than remove the bandages, add more layers. If you can, keep the wound elevated above the heart to slow the bleeding.
Broken Bones
Your extremities and their extensions are the most common bones to break. Arms, fingers legs and toes. This guide is a basic one. For broken noses, eye sockets, ribs cracked skulls and more please find a more comprehensive first aid guide.
If any wounds are present you want to clean them first and ensure the bleeding stops.
Make a splint for leg breaks. Find two lengthy, sturdy objects and put them on either side of the leg. Wrap it firmly (duct tape works) to stabilize the leg and keep it from moving or shifting. Let it set, rest and heal.
Broken arms require a sling. If you are lacking a medical Sling make your own. Acquire a large piece of cloth from something such as a t-shirt or pillowcase and fold it into a triangle. Place the person's elbow at the top of the triangle, and the wrist midway along the triangle's bottom edge.
Burn treatment
Everyone has been burned at one time in their life. Maybe you have that match a little too long when trying to light a candle or something more severe. First and second degree burns can usually be treated on your own and are considered minor. If you ever suffer a third degree burn there isn't a lot you can do at home.
You need to determine the burn degree before treating it. A first degree burn will be red and may swell. It damages the outermost layer of skin only, and there may be some pain and discomfort for the victim. Second degree burn damages will not only destroy the outermost layer of skin tissue but also damage the second layer of skin. The area will be very red, exhibit swelling, be covered by blisters and extremely painful.
Treating 1st and 2nd degree burns is pretty straightforward. First, Run cool (never cold) water over the burn site for 10 to 15 minutes. If you have no access to running water submerge the affected area in a tub or bucket of cool water. After the burn had cooled wrap the wound with a sterile gauze. Give it a burn victim an over the counter pain reliever of his or her choice. Never pop any blisters, apply ice, butter or ointments to the wound. This may cause extended damage to the skin tissue or cause the wound to become infected.
Third degree burns are severe and there isn't a whole lot that can be done. The burns move entirely through all of the skin tissue and can even extend to the bone. The burn marks are notated by either charred black or pearly white skin.
As mentioned there is not a whole lot you can do. Third degree burns require emergency medical care, not first aid care. Third degree burn victims can not regrow skin cells without a skin graft surgery.
Severe allergic reaction treatment first aid basics
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) can many times be life threatening. Symptoms of Anaphylaxis often include a sudden drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, hives, itching, weak and rapid pulse, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, unconsciousness or shock. Severe reactions require professional medical attention. If possible, call for an ambulance.
Epi pens are issued to people who are aware that they have severe allergies. The pen injects epinephrine to counteract and relieve the allergic reaction. If they are suffering from Anaphylaxis and have a pen, inject it into their thigh muscle. Over-the-counter antihistamines work far too slowly to help and a severe allergic reaction. Do not give the victim water.
Unless the victim is going to vomit have the person lay on their back. If vomiting it's a risk have them lay on their side so they do not choke. Make sure the victim is breathing. If the person is not, immediately start CPR. If the throat is constricted mouth to mouth isn't necessary as they wouldn't receive any air. Interlock your fingers, straighten your arms and perform 100 compression's per minute.
If emergency services can help they will continue to monitor the patient even if he feels fine for some time after the incident. If not, continue to keep a close eye on the victim. Ensure they continue breathing. Check their pulse and if possible monitor their blood pressure.
Treating Shock
If someone is lacking the proper amount of blood or oxygen to the vital organs or brain, they are in shock. Shock, if not treated may lead to long-term organ damage or even death. Symptoms to look out for are cold skin, dilated pupils, nausea, slow or fast heart rate and unconsciousness. To treat shock have the person lie flat on their back and have their feet elevated 1 foot above their head. This creates a stronger blood flow from the lower extremities to the vital organs. Hopefully the person is still moving, coughing and breathing. These are signs that circulation is still happening.
If the person is not breathing, immediately start CPR. Loosen tight or constricting clothing and keep the person warm with blankets or extra clothing. If the person says they are going to vomit roll them on their side to prevent choking. Check for and treat any other injuries that may be present. Avoid giving the victim any food and water.
Treating heat stroke
Heat stroke victims easily fall prey to heatstroke when working outside in hot temperatures. Overweight, elderly and children are at greater risk of suffering from heatstroke. The primary symptom of heat stroke is a very high body temperature (104 degrees or higher). Other symptoms include headache, rapid heart rate, shallow breathing, nausea and fainting.
Factors that heighten your chances of suffering from heatstroke are heart disease, dehydration and taking medications that limit your ability to sweat.
Move the heat stroke victim to a shady area or indoors if possible. Try to have the victim drink non caffeinated, non alcoholic cold drink. cool the victim down moist clothes and cloths. Fan the person manually or within a motorized fan if available. Ensure the person rests for the next 24 hours. Monitor their temperature to make sure it does not rise.
Treating Frostbite
Frost bite victims fall prey to frostbite in very cold temperatures. Usually frostbite occurs in the extremities, the hands and feet. Frostbite is also common in the ears and nose. The quicker frostbite is treated the better odds the victim has of a healthy recovery. The tissues of the area become frozen, may feel hard and look a very waxy yellowish white.
If you suspect frostbite and are still outside, find or make shelter as soon as possible. You need to get out of the cold and wind until you warm up. If your hands are frost bitten, warm them by placing them under your armpits. If your feet are frostbitten put some extra socks on or wrap bits of cloth around them and then put your boots back on.
Remove all of your wet clothing from your body and run warm water over the frost bitten areas. Slowly increase the water temperature. Frostbitten areas are numb to the touch and hot water may burn you while leaving you unaware. Next wrap the areas frostbitten, and keep them as warm as possible. Do not walk around on frostbitten feet, as this may cause further tissue damage.
Joint dislocation
When two bones become separated at the joint then joint dislocation has happened. Dislocations most commonly occur in the shoulder, knee or elbow. Fingers and toes are also susceptible to dislocating. Instant trauma, such as falling or an automobile accident can be the culprit behind joint dislocation. A joint dislocation can be followed by extreme pain depending on the location and severity of the dislocation.
Leave dislocations to be managed by a medical professional whenever one is available. A permanent loss of use may occur if the joint is put back into place in correctly.
Fingers and toes that become dislocated or common and off. Contrary to popular belief, a dislocated finger is no less painful than any other dislocation. Sometimes pulling the affected digit (or even wiggling it around) can pop it back into place. After you are sure the bone is aligned properly put the treated digit in a splint.
Shoulder dislocations are probably the most common of all this locations. To reset a shoulder dislocation have the person take a seat or lay down. Simply rotate the shoulder blade until you feel the joint pop back into place.
Another method is known as the Hennepin maneuver. Have the person take a seat or lay down. Bend their elbow at a 90 degree angle slowly move and rotate the shoulder, invoking muscle spasms. After 10 minutes or so the spasms will reside in with gentle pushes the joint will align and relocate. Wrap the shoulder immediately and stabilize it to keep the person from moving it, otherwise redislocation may happen.
Dislocated elbows can occur, however they are most common in children. Flex the arm and have the forearm rotate, until it is facing up. This may let the elbow pop back into place. Bandage and wrap the elbow immediately.
No matter the site or dislocation, it is important to use the joint again before too long to strengthen not only the joint but the muscles around it.
While some strains require surgery to fix completely such as a full tear, many can be treated easily enough at home. When a sprain occurs there has been damage to the ligaments that keep your joints connected and your bones together. With that said, ligaments are very tough parts of the body but damage can still occur. The two most common sprain sites are in your knees and ankles.
To treat a sprain we remember the first aid basics acronym R.I.C.E.
REST. Rest the limb that was sprained. Try to avoid putting any direct pressure on the limb for 2 days at the very minimum. Using crutches to move around is recommended if the sprain occurred in the knee or ankle.
ICE. Ice the sprain several times a day for the first two days. 15 to 20 minutes tops. Leaving the ice on too long or exposing it to direct bare skin can cause tissue damage so keep something between your skin and the ice.
COMPRESS. Wrap and compress the area with an ace bandage or something similar. Wrapping the area too tightly can reduce blood flow and actually cause more damage.
ELEVATE. Elevate the injured limb above the heart when possible. Doing so reduces blood flow and helps reduce swelling.
Motrin or Tylenol for pain is ok. The sprain should start to heal after a few days. After the third day the person should start to use the body part carefully.
Animal Bites
For any animal bite the first thing to do is stop the bleeding. Apply firm pressure with a dry cloth until the bleeding subsides. After the bleeding stops clean the affected area with warm soap and water. Apply an antibiotic cream and bandage. Make sure to change the bandage periodically.
Getting bit by a rabid animal is a bit more serious and time sensitive. You need to determine if an animal is a rabid. Most wild animals avoid humans so if you are able to get close to one it may be a sign that the animal is rabid. Another sign is seeing an animal active when it should be sleeping. An example is the nocturnal raccoon. If you see one of them lumbering around mid afternoon it would be wise to call animal control and report your observations. While rabid animals do not often form at the mouth (think Cujo) saliva production does tend to increase, causing the animal to drool. Acting lethargic or very aggressive are also signs that your local wildlife maybe rabid.
If you think you've been bitten by a rabid animal, see your doctor ASAP. Do not wait to seek help. Once humans start showing symptoms from rabies, very few survive. Most animal bites however come from dogs and cats who rarely carry the disease. Animals more common to carry rabies are bats, foxes, raccoon's and skunks.
We hope this guide covering first aid basics has helped or will help someone some day.

What? So late, you ask.
Why yes. It's been a long winter here. And let's face it, I don't know about you but I'm not so inclined to scrub my windows when it's still snowing outside or I'm staring out at a grey rainy day.
But the warmer weather is finally here to stay and with it comes that time of the year when you start scrubbing all the nooks and crannies (if you're so inclined).
This year I decided to tackle the light mildew build up that we get around our windows (no matter how much I attempt to avoid it, there's always a little that sneaks in). So I thought that I'd take some of the oils I have on hand (lemon, tea tree and most specifically, white fir)
I decided to make a toilet bowl/shower cleaner using:
1 cup borax
1/2 cup vinegar
20 drops White Fir essential oil
Water to top off the bottle
I chose White Fir for a couple reasons:
- I had it in stock and wasn't sure what else I'd use it for
- It's antiseptic/antibacterial
- I'd read that it was good for mold/mildew
The mix will settle, so it'll need to be shaken before each use. The borax is really to give the mix a bit of grit and make scrubbing easier. It'll help take off soap scum and any water build up more quickly.
Next up, a mix minus the borax for cleaning window and sliding door bases.

text: Splenectomy in Children With "Mild" Hereditary SpherocytosisRoy, Sani M. MD; Buchanan, George R. MD; Crary, Shelley E. MD, MSCSJournal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology: August 2013 - Volume 35 - Issue 6 - p 430–433 doi: 10.1097/MPH.0b013e31829f3460 Original Articles Abstract Author Information Splenectomy is considered the treatment of choice for patients with "symptomatic" hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Published guidelines offering recommendations for splenectomy in HS categorize patients primarily based on hemoglobin concentration. We performed a retrospective review of 64 children having splenectomy for HS at Children's Medical Center Dallas. On the basis of hemoglobin concentration alone, 16 children (25%) had mild, 38 (59%) moderate, and 10 (16%) severe HS. However, when reticulocyte count was used to categorize disease severity, only 3 patients (5%) having splenectomy would be considered mild, 17 (27%) moderate, and 42 (66%) severe. Despite otherwise having "mild" disease defined by near-normal hemoglobin levels, many children with nontraditional or subjective signs and symptoms related to hemolytic rate received a splenectomy, and, therefore, reticulocyte count might be a more reliable laboratory marker suggesting consideration of splenectomy. A validated assessment tool incorporating quality of life indicators in addition to the traditional medical indications for splenectomy in HS would be valuable in assessing indications for the procedure. *Department of Pediatrics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center †Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Children's Medical Center, Dallas, TX ‡Department of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Headphones, docking stations, amplifiers, wireless headphones, battery banks – all this is just a small list of accessories available to us. Currently, consumer interest in smartwatches is growing very fast. And there is a vast variety of them available on Jiji.ng, best marketplace for new and used accessories for any budget.
Apple Watch Series 2
If you liked the first series of Apple watch, you definitely are going to like this one.
New Watch is equipped with a GPS module, now it starts acquiring your position once your iPhone is away. This feature will be useful and helpful for runners, all the workout data will be perfectly stored and can be reviewed later on your iPhone. So you can leave your phone at home during your run. In addition, Apple has made its Watch water-resistant, which means you can dive, swim or take showers with it. Display is quite bright and readable even in the most intense sunlight. With the OS3 operating system, you have more opportunities to use third-party applications. The new series comes in three different material designs, which can be paired with variety of bands of different colors. Other things remain the same.
- Water resistant;
- Advanced options for athletes;
- Old design;
- Only compatible with iPhone
- Expensive
Samsung Gear S2
This is one of those rare cases when the South Korean giant Samsung jumped over its head. Smart Watch Gear S2 is the embodiment of elegance and hidden functionality. Favorite thing about this piece is its rotating bezel. You can control everything with your finger on the right half of the bezel, which means you will always be able to see the whole AMOLED display, which offers bright and saturated colors. You will have no problem reading your screen on a super sunny day. And, of course, it is water resistant. The watch is equipped with an accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate sensor and barometer. There's no GPS, so it's not going to serve as a proper running watch, despite its sporty styling. However, it will still count your steps and monitor your heart rate throughout the day. All this data can be viewed on your smartphone by downloading the Samsung S Health app.The smart watch operates on Tizen operating system, which, unfortunately, lacks quality applications for now. The Gear S2 comes with a replaceable band, which can be swapped anytime for a new one. And, the Gear S2 is compatible with most Android phones, not necessarily with Samsung's ones.
- Stunning design;
- Rotating bezel;
- AMOLED screen;
- Simple to navigate
- GPS module feature is for extra cost;
- Tizen OS lacks quality apps

Download Wiper Messenger Guide apk 1.0 free for Android smartphone
Posted by Nam Thuan in Entertainment | May 14, 2015 | 1 Comments
Apk file size: 7.3 MB
The wiper feature (and its windscreen wiping animation) is neat, and I think that there is great value in an app that boasts strong privacy and is easy to use.
However, a slight delay in the loading of messages is noticeable (although not critical to usage), coupled with a lack of video calling, group messaging and a basic user interface isn't the experience we are used to in a messaging app.

The government on Friday announced the setting up of a panel to implement the Dharmadhikari Committee Report on issues relating integration of erstwhile Air India and Indian Airlines employees including pay, allowances and career progression structure.
Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh made it clear that the demands of striking Air India pilots will be looked into after they give up their 26-day "illegal" agitation unconditionally.
The implementation committee, called the Implementation-cum-Anomaly Committee, would seek the views of all sections of employees and complete its task within the next 45 days on how to implement the Dharmadhikari Report. The committee will also do a 'level mapping' of employees of Air India and erstwhile Indian Airlines.
Singh said performance-linked incentives will be abolished and there will be a unified cadre and uniform policy with regard to working of all cadres.
"The salaries of the present employees will be protected. As far as allowances are concerned, as far as the senior staff is concerned, management staff is concerned, that will be allowed according to the DPE guidelines. And other allowances of non-management staff will be according to the industry norms," the Minister said.
Dharmadhikari Report:
The Dharamadhikari Report came almost five years after the merger of two state-run airlines and focused on integration of thousands of employees after the merger of two State-owned carriers — Air India and Indian Airlines. The report took into account the views of the pilots, cabin crew and engineers on integration of about 29,000 employees. The employees have been agitating over disparities in their pay scales, promotional avenues and areas of responsibilities.
Besides Justice Dharmadhikari, the Committee had Prof Ravindra HDholakia of IIM Ahmedabad, Rajeshwar Dayal, expert on public sector employees' service matters and senior Civil Aviation Ministry official SyedNasir Ali, as its members.

I just watched the American version of Oldboy and I have a few things to say (spoiler alert?): Could have used more gore and less music. The single take fight scene was alright… but for an implicit homage to … Continue reading

Process Mapping Lessons
Having done some process mapping over the 5-10 years and there are several key lessons I've learned during this process. Typically during this exercise, you have a certain area of focus to review and evaluate. This might involve a certain aspect of the call center or how online bill payments are handled. In addition, you engage in many aspects of project management. While it's important to ask the right questions with the right partners in the room, it's just as important to manage this project to deliver a valuable product within the designated time-frame. I've included some valuable input based on my actual mapping experience.
RESOURCE COMMITMENT – Getting key players who are typically the subject matter experts (SMEs) to commit ahead of time – no long absences or job switches helps increase the chances the project is completed on time. Along these lines, it's important for the project manager to outline how he or she operates. In other words, for the first week or two, we may need to meet every day or other day for 1-2 hours. This will help gather all the data and key information. As time passes and certain consultants are leaned on for their perspective on this project, the meeting may be twice weekly for 1 hour. Setting the expectation for the key contributors and infrequent consultants helps these individuals to know what is involved with this project.
KEY COMMITTED CONTACTS – Finding one or two key people who are committed to this exercise to work with offline (if necessary) to enable you to brainstorm and bounce things off them – especially if complex or very involved processes.
COMPILE AND ORGANIZE THROUGH NOTES – Early on in the process, it might be useful if your focus is not on mapping out the process using a flowchart. I've found it useful to develop an outline with key items and aspects of the process before moving forward. Once having a solid outline, the project manager/process mapping expert will add the necessary steps and information to this outline. It goes without saying that those key contributors will add in this exercise. It's a work in progress. Once the document or outline is 90% complete, it's a good idea to map these various sections of the outline on a process map. In my situation the vehicle is Visio.
ADD NOTES, CONTROLS AND GAPS ONCE KEY AREAS ARE MAPPED OUT – There were situations in the past where I began to map out things as we started to define key areas. This typically didn't work that well. Contributors had to jump from map to map to see what was still needed. In addition, by jumping into the mapping exercise right away, the group may miss the brainstorming process that ensure we've captured all key areas of this process. Therefore, diving into the structure and completeness of the map works best waiting until the majority of the information is gathered. At this point, the mapper can begin adding notes or additional context to the applicable map. Gaps and controls can be called out once maps capture all key parts of the process being targeted. Typically, I create various addendums for the notes, gaps, acronyms and additional information
ANTICIPATE INVOLVEMENT OF OTHERS – When doing process mapping, you frequently will not know all of those critical subject matter experts needed to make this project a success. I've found some situations where key subject matter experts will not respond to your meeting invite or project outline. To anticipate this, it's critical to have several participants who can help reach out to ensure those who need to participate do.
TIME FRAME CHALLENGES – As much as you plan, things don't always transpire according to the plan. If you plan for the project will take 4 weeks, consider adding at least 2 more weeks — extenuating circumstances and often resource constraints often come into play. You may find key contributors not always available when needed or it may be necessary for new contributors to be brought in to answer questions or help fill in the gaps. I've found it wise not to necessarily communicate this to the entire group although you may want to communicate this to your key drivers of this project.
PROJECT SPONSORS & STAKEHOLDERS UPDATED – Keep SMEs in the loop with weekly or bi-weekly updates. Know whom you can consult with issues, questions or unexpected challenges.
CALENDAR UPDATES/ACCEPT OR REJECT MEETINGS – When scheduling meetings, you need to confirm that key attendees need to respond (hopefully no later than 1 day prior). Each meeting may be different with different SMEs and participants. So you need to get a commitment by all attendees before you move forward. If not careful, you could be wasting your time as well as those who participate in a meeting that don't include the key participants.
THANK THOSE PARTICIPANTS – It goes without saying but you're dealing with individuals who are very busy and may not have the bandwidth to spend much time helping you mapping out key processes. It does not hurt to be very appreciative of their time. Thanking everyone after each meeting is a win-win. Thanking those who helped out recently through email is a can't miss too. Kindness is not foolproof, however, it helps to keep the project on schedule and improves your chances of success.
FULL COMMITMENT BY THE PROJECT SPONSOR AND STAKEHOLDERS – The project begins and everyone is on board. You have the green light from the project sponsor to review online billing or reviewing how call centers handle extremely irate customers. You reach out to the project sponsor to understand the objectives and who may need to be involved in reviewing this process end to end. Things go well at first where you do information gathering and then begin to map out all the key aspects of the project. However, when you reach out to the project sponsor and/or some stakeholders you get an indifferent reception. It's important to understand if the stakeholders and key sponsor is still committed to the completion of this project. This may be out of one's control but as the project manager, you must ensure their commitments are still there. In some situations, urgent tasks come to the forefront and the immediacy of this project needs to be delayed or postponed. It may be frustrating when this occurs, however, as the manager of the project, once you get this news, you mustn't delay communicating the news to all contributors. Because of the uncertainly of resuming the work, you may want to consider sending the group the news with all the documentation and work that has occurred so far. You may also want to thank them for their work and commit to keeping them abreast of the possibility of resuming the project at some point in the future.

Dabur Ranked 45th In India's Most Trusted Brands List
Ghaziabad(UP,India): Dabur has been ranked among the Top 50 Most Trusted Brands in India. Dabur has been ranked 45th among 16,000 brands studied and published in "The Brand Trust Report, India Study, 2011". The Brand Trust Report was launched in Mumbai on Tuesday by Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, Former President of India.
Speaking on the achievement, Dabur India Ltd Group Director P. D. Narang said: "Brand Dabur touches million of Indians every day. Our continual focus on offering our consumers superior and quality products at affordable price points have helped us achieve this. This award further emboldens our never-ending effort and commitment towards winning hearts and minds of our most valued consumers."
N. Chandramouli, the CEO of the Trust Research Advisory, the publisher of the report said, "The era that we live in is characterized by an enormous trust deficit. The term and its associated feeling have become more common in the last few years than in the several decades that preceded it. In earlier times, the reasons for trust deficit were visible and common enough to be easily understood. In current times, however, trust has become far more complex and difficult to decipher, and trust deficit exists for several reasons, known and unknown. For The Brand Trust ReportTM, we chose 'influencers' to be our respondents and the criteria for them to qualify as an 'influencer' had to be chosen very carefully to ensure that the respondents primarily understand the nuances of brands and also have the ability to influence others with their impressions."
Commenting on the launch of the Report, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India said: "I congratulate Trust Research Advisory on publishing a report on such importance. The depth of this report would help brands understand and improve Trust, the most essential bond in all relationships. The Brand Trust Report has brought up a very important aspect – that Corporate Social Responsibility is not an option for Brand Trust, but it is essential. I urge India's top corporate houses to recognize corporate altruism as an intrinsic component in the brand building process and treat this as a societal entrepreneurship venture rather than as a social responsibility."
The Brand Trust Report, India Study, 2011 is the result of years of detailed research to understand trust which included several hundred hours of discussions with communication experts and behavioural scientists.
On this basis TRA created a proprietary Trust Matrix comprising 61 different components. Based on this proprietary Trust Matrix, TRA launched a syndicated primary research on Brand Trust across 9 cities in India covering 2,310 respondents who were classified into the 'influencer' category.
The most intensive study on Brand Trust undertaken in the country, the study generated nearly 1,000,000 datapoints and 16,000 brands. Indian Statistical Institute helped create a statistically robust Brand Trust Index which has been used to hierarchically rank India's Most Trusted Brands.

England is famous for a long tradition of eccentrics and a tolerance of their idiosyncrasies. The Lady in the Van celebrates and humanizes the continuation of this quaint pattern through the last quarter of the 20th century, as embodied by the indomitable Dame Maggie Smith.
Her Miss Shepherd is based on the real woman who playwright/screenwriter Alan Bennett (best known in the United States for The Madness of King George and The History Boys) first wrote about in a 1989 memoir. On his lovely London crescent block already populated with distinctive characters (most notably represented here by Frances de la Tour portraying a redoubtable Mrs. Vaughan Williams), the van housing Miss Shepherd, with her worldly detritus, parks down the slope but ends up in Bennett's driveway, where he reluctantly lived alongside her for almost 20 years. (Director Nicholas Hytner has vivid memories of walking by that van/eyesore on his way to work before he started his years of collaboration with Bennett.)
After Bennett's piece about Miss Shepherd generated information on her biography, he expanded her story 10 years later into a radio play, then onto the West End starring Dame Maggie. While that 1999 theatrical production notably featured set designs from her imagination, the film version begins grounded in realism, with a flashback to the traffic accident that marred her life. The poignant and sometimes over-explained intersections in her past life continue throughout and veer toward the sentimental: visits with her suburban brother and her life in a grim convent. But she's mostly a thorn in Bennett's side, arriving when he seems to be going through a midlife crisis, while he and his disapproving alter-ego (portrayed like identical twins by Alex Jennings) wrestle self-indulgently over his productivity and creativity as a writer. Young male one-night stands (paid or unpaid) join him après theater or parade by each morning, until he finally settles down into a steady relationship. (Briefly glimpsed are Bennett's drolly comic stage monologues, more familiar to British audiences than Americans.)
But this is mostly Dame Maggie's show, and when she's not on screen marking the holidays and the years going by, the film becomes thin. While Miss Shepherd has more patronizing attitude than money (unlike Downton Abbey's countess, who has both), the actress has richer material to work with in her filthy, odiferous vehicle than in what Israel Horovitz gave her for last year's similarly immovable but middle-class character in My Old Lady. The neighborhood's mostly indulgent attitude to Miss Shepherd makes for an interesting sociological comparison with Sebastián Silva's Nasty Baby, in which Americans' view of a homeless character is seen as dangerous. (Miss Shepherd, though, has the benefit of government social workers and the national health system as she ages.)
Following limited release now in New York and Los Angeles, expanded distribution on January 15, 2016 will coincide with the final season of Downton Abbey.

Will meeting with Tom Crean help Dwyane Wade again?
MIAMI — Heat fans remember well what happened the last time an ailing Dwyane Wade had a playoff meeting with college coach Tom Crean.
Well, a hurting Wade has had another session with Crean.
Following Monday's Game 4 of an Eastern Conference semifinal at Chicago, the Miami guard chatted for about five minutes with Crean, once his coach at Marquette and now at Indiana. Wade, playing on a balky left knee that eventually would need surgery, spent several hours last May with Crean on the Indiana campus after a disastrous game in Indianapolis against the Pacers.
Wade credited that meeting with playing a key role in his strong play down the stretch as the Heat won the NBA title. We'll see what happens now as Wade is battling a bone bruise on his right knee that has resulted in plenty of concern about his play.
"He doesn't need motivation on that,'' Crean said Tuesday in a phone interview with FOX Sports Florida about Wade fighting through his injury. "But people need reminders. And sometimes in my life, I need reminders. He knows what he needs to do, and he's out there taking care of it …. He's going to be there through the long haul. He's got a lot of season left. I think that's how he's approaching it.''
The message Crean offered Tuesday is Wade, 31, has a very high pain threshold and a "warrior'' mentality. And he sees no reason why that isn't going to spur Wade on to a strong finish to these playoffs.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Wade's current injury isn't nearly as serious as last year's, and Crean agreed. Still, Wade has had his play questioned during a playoff run in which he has averaged just 12.3 points, including just 11.3 in the series Miami leads 3-1 over Chicago.
Entering Wednesday's Game 5 at AmericanAirlines Arena, Spoelstra blasted criticism of Wade, saying it's not just about scoring and that Wade's plus-minus rating of plus-49 is tied with forward Shane Battier for the best on the team in the Chicago series. Spoelstra declined to speculate on whether Wade will play Wednesday or be given a game off to rest. But Crean anticipates Wade will play.
"I don't think you're going to see anybody sitting out or anything like that,'' Crean said. "I think he's going to stay right with it …. Absolutely, (Wade will play in Game 5).''
Crean agrees with Spoelstra it's unfair to judge Wade by scoring and the only thing that matters to the nine-time All-Star is winning. While Wade might be hurting now, Crean pointed to what he did during last year's postseason with a more severe injury.
"He's got the warrior mentality to fight through it,'' Crean said. "He did the same thing last year. It was a different situation and a very difficult situation. But he played through that …. But to me, looking at the entire scope, he's doing just fine (this postseason). He's constantly out there trying to get (the knee) better. (The Heat) had an optional (practice) day (last weekend) and he's in the gym working out and shooting. He's got that kind of mentality, and it's not like he's one of those players that is looking to get more rest. He's looking to get used to playing with that kind of adversity that he deals with sometimes when players aren't healthy.''
While Spoelstra and Crean both believe Wade has been doing what is necessary this postseason, statistics still show a sharp decline. Wade, hampered in part by 43.9 percent shooting, has a postseason player-efficiency rating of 15.8, down from 24.0 during the regular season and from 22.0 in last season's playoffs.
Wade's low point in the 2012 postseason came when he shot 2 of 13 for five points in an Eastern semifinal Game 3 loss at Indiana and squabbled on the bench with Spoelstra. But he bounced back to shoot 13 of 23 for 30 points in a Game 4 win, and a number of other strong games followed.
Flash forward a year. In Monday's Game 4, a resounding 88-65 Heat win, Wade shot 3 of 10 for 6 points, although he did have three rebounds, four assists, a block and a steal. Wade aggravated his right knee when he banged into Bulls forward Jimmy Butler midway through the second quarter and he had to leave the game for nearly four minutes.
Now, it will be seen how Wade looks after his latest meeting with Crean.
"He just told me to keep going," Wade, who was unavailable for comment Tuesday, told the Chicago Tribune following Monday's game. "Coach knows me. I've dealt with certain injuries, certain bad games. I come back and have a good game. His biggest thing is, he likes that I'm not pouting. I'm not putting my head down. I'm doing what I can to help my team."
If anybody knows how Wade has bounced back from injuries, it's Crean. He talked about the perseverance Wade showed when he was a sophomore at Marquette in 2001-02.
"He had an option to get his knee scoped and be out for awhile or be in a situation where it wouldn't get a lot worse but it wasn't going to get any better if he played through it the rest of the season,'' Crean said of Wade being hurt during a late-December non-conference game. "And he chose to play through it and have surgery at the end of the year. And he was an All-league player (in Conference USA)…. He's always had a special will about him. And what's grown is that focus to really put his blinders on and work through (discomfort).''
Spoelstra has seen that same mentality throughout Wade's 10-year NBA career. Spoelstra was a Heat assistant for the first five seasons of it before being the head man the past five seasons.
"He has an incredible competitive spirit,'' Spoelstra said of Wade, who banged his knee March 6 against Orlando and aggravated it March 18 at Boston before missing a game for the first time due to the injury on March 24. "He's going to have an impact one way or another because he thrives in these moments when the competition is at its highest and to try to figure out how he can help the team win. And that he's proven for over a decade.''
Nobody denies that. But where Spoelstra is less on specifics is just how much Wade is now hurting. Wade also aggravated the injury March 29 at New Orleans and overall missed nine of Miami's final 14 regular-season games and Game 4 of a first-round series against Milwaukee.
"We know what he's dealing with,'' Spoelstra said. "He's been dealing with it for the last six or seven weeks. So it's day-to-day …. Structurally, he is in a very good place. So it's much different than last year.''
Regardless of how Wade is feeling, Spoelstra believes he's being unfairly judged this postseason. Spoelstra shrugged off talk about Wade's scoring average, which is way below the 21.2 he put up during the regular season and the 22.8 he had during last spring's playoff run.
"From a coaching standpoint and I understand the interest in it,'' Spoelstra said. "But what you dislike about team sports is people lose sight of the main thing being the main thing. Dwyane has proven himself as a warrior. He's helping us win. At the end of the day, we're up 3-1 with a chance to close out. We knew going into the series that it wasn't going to be about averages.
"(Wade is) No. 1 plus-minus on our team, tied with Shane. So his minutes have arguably been the most positive of all the minutes that he's given us and he's helping us win. That's the bottom line and everything else just gets lost in translation and taken out of context… Everybody's losing absolute focus on his contribution to this series… Everybody is just waiting to see that final column (points) on the box score. That's all anybody is looking at. He's helping us win right now.''
Crean also believes criticism of Wade's game has been unfair.
"Absolutely,'' Crean said. "There's no question because it's so sensationalized this time of the year (in the playoffs). Greatness manifests itself in so many different areas and Dwyane has proven a long time that he does not have to score the bulk of the points and that he can do so many different things to impact winning.''
That is true. But when Wade was doing those things before, he also was putting up more than 20 points a night.
Wade has taken a reduced role in the offense since the arrival of LeBron James in the summer of 2010. But to have taken this much of a step back during these playoffs has understandably raised concern about how much he might be hurting.
But Wade has had his chat with Crean. Now, it will be seen whether it works wonders the way it did last year.

Townsend - 'We're Prepared'
Written by Newcastle Utd
Newcastle United FC
Andros Townsend feels that Newcastle United are in good shape ahead of Saturday's vital game at Norwich City
By Dan King - Newcastle United Digital Editor
Andros Townsend believes Newcastle United are "perfectly prepared" for Saturday's huge Barclays Premier League game at Norwich City.
The Magpies are currently two places behind the Canaries, but know that three points at Carrow Road would take them level with Alex Neil's side with a game in hand over the East Anglian outfit.
And while Norwich picked up a win against West Bromwich Albion last time out, Townsend insists that Aleksandar Mitrovic's late equaliser against Sunderland nine days ago has given Newcastle some real momentum going into a key week in the campaign.
"The whole city wanted a win against Sunderland but to get a draw in the last few minutes, and to stay in touch with Sunderland and Norwich, could be vital," the England international told nufc.co.uk.
"It gives us a chance now going to Norwich. If we get three points, it's all in our hands again, so it was a massive goal and hopefully we can build on that and pick up the win on Saturday.
"The Sunderland game was the biggest derby for a long time and the biggest game of our season, but after that result Saturday's game is the biggest game of the season again - and I'm sure the next game after that will be as well.
"But we've had a couple of good weeks now, including the international break, to learn the manager's philosophy a bit more.
"We're perfectly prepared and everyone's looking forward to Saturday now."
Rafa Benitez has wasted no time in making his mark since becoming the Club's new manager earlier this month.
His players trained on Easter Monday and will have no day off this week - something that Townsend and his team-mates have no complaints about.
And he feels the mood at United's Benton base is just right, despite the task which lies ahead between now and May.
"We're experienced enough not to let the pressure get to us," said Townsend.
"We go on about our business, we train the same way, and hopefully we'll go into Saturday full of confidence. We're working hard. Whenever the manager has us in, we're working hard.
"We're doing a lot of shape work at the minute to try to be more compact than we have been in the past. It's all good and we're looking forward to it."

HANNAH: Wolves MC (Riding With Wolves Book 4) by Faith Winslow
2016ContemporaryRomance July 22, 2016 admin
I was looking for a black-haired, tattooed bombshell—and, when I walked into Pinky's Bar, I found one.
Hannah Hammond was right where I thought she'd be, right when I thought she'd be there, which was pretty convenient. But, hell, it didn't make my "assignment" any easier. Someone had paid me to find Hannah and bring her back from L.A. to Nevada, and, given what I knew about her, I knew that getting her to come with me would be incredibly hard… But, I had no idea just how hard it would be, or just how deeply this assignment—and this woman—would affect me.
Of all the bars in L.A., he had to walk into mine…
No joke. I stopped in for in a drink on my way home from an appointment, and, lo and behold, a tall, dark, handsome stranger walked in—looking for me. And, the reason he was looking for me was the shock of a lifetime—and, so was everything else that happened from the moment I met him.
Nico Simms might be a "professional," and he might think he knows my story, but he's got another thing coming to him if he thinks he's gonna be the one behind the wheel on this ride.

I think lee sin is the best jungler in this freakin game , and hope you guys will enjoy this guide, please give it a vote!:D
As a young teen, Lee Sin was intent on becoming a summoner. His will and dedication were unmatched by any of his peers, and his skill drew the attention of Reginald Ashram, the League's High Councilor at the time. While studying at the Arcanum Majoris, Lee Sin became frustrated with instruction paced for the other students. He spent his free time researching the nuances of summoning in hopes of graduating sooner. He made amazing advances in his arcane studies, surpassing all other students. By all indications, he would have become one of the League's greatest summoners were it not for one terrible mistake. Too impatient, he attempted to test his ability by summoning a beast from the Plague Jungles. What he summoned instead was a young boy, but not in one piece. He barely had time to look the boy in what was once his face before the jumbled human mass fell lifeless to the floor. A League investigation later revealed that the boy's entire village was obliterated by feedback from the ritual.
Lee Sin's talents were so promising that the League was willing to overlook the incident, but he could never forgive himself. He left the Institute and journeyed to the Shojin Monastery for eternal repentance, swearing never to practice magic again. Years later, hoping to atone for his crime with martyrdom, he set himself ablaze as a protest of the Noxian occupation of Ionia. He remained alive in this state, enduring searing agony for weeks. His actions paved the way for a League match wherein Ionia prevailed, but by the time he was doused, his eyes had been burned completely from their sockets. Hailed as a savior, he was reborn, and his will to act invigorated. He joined the League of Legends to continue his atonement with sweat and blood, a true monk's only possessions.
"The actions of one may sunder the world, but the efforts of many may rebuild it."
―Lee Sin

Great Essays from Two Young Outdoor Writers
Since its inception, the Virginia Outdoor Writers Association (VOWA) has encouraged young writers from across the state through its collegiate and high school outdoor writing contests. At this year's annual conference, I loved two of the entries so much I wanted to share them here.
Lynn Wormeli from Virginia Tech's essay was the Runner-up for the VOWA Dominion Resources Overall Best Essay. She is a wonderful writer, and I look forward to following her path.
Countering Insanity
Hypothesis: lead girls on a hike for two summers and become bored by familiarity.
Independent variable: the way, the mountains, and the time.
Dependent variable: the hiker.
A strange thing happens when you walk the same path many times. Presumably it becomes familiar; with enough frequency, the leaves earn names. My trail held the Pine Tree Forest, the Hill of Doom, and the Lightning Tree, each a rite of passage on the 10-mile hike through Pennsylvania's Laurel Mountains. But if you repeat the same trail of the same mountain at the same time over different days, you realize that nothing stays the same. In May, there are flowers. In June, there is green. In July, you fear the Lightning Tree will multiply. And in August, you notice that what was hot is now warm and what was green now glows with yellowed fringes.
The first time we forged our own way. The trail had gone unused from September to May and each passing season had left it less distinguishable from the untouched around it. That first time was a thick, forested march, rather than a confident, concrete hike. Machetes hacked, frustrations garnered sweat, and we often found ourselves rerouting. Curiosity propelled us, and the pauses reminded us of our purpose. "What have you noticed today?" one young man with us, Ryan, asked us all to share. The responses resembled the diversity of a swimmer speaking to a marathoner. So personally colored were each of our experiences that if you were not paying attention you may entirely miss the common ground. The ground was, of course, what we had in common.
We were workers of the enthusiastic and exhausted kind: camp counselors, preparing adventures for the joyful bundles awaiting their summer session to begin. A few weeks after that first time came another first for me. I led the hike, surrounded by backpack-slugging girls 12 years of age who appeared to be hiking not towards the campsite but in fact away from their own pinpointed Comfort Zones. I learned from them that even the Lightning Tree, scarred from its underdog victory against a lightning strike some years ago, could be seen without my same fascination. I tried to explain myself, and some joined my captivation. But this captivation was not for those girls whose heads travelled separately from their feet. Some girls were already in the middle of other monstrous mental climbs, and this hilly detour was an additional woe to complete. For those girls, it was the destination campfire that smoked them out of their heads and into community. I learned in the clouds of roasting branches that it is not only our eyes that provide us sight.
That summer I hiked the trail each month and took note of the mountain's arboretum calendar. Any paper calendar would bow to the timekeeping of its natural source. The next summer I led other counselors on their novel hike. They wowed. That time the trail took me by surprise when the iconic field of flowers greeted me instead as plowed mounds for us to wade. Feeling embarrassed, as if I had forgotten the profession of a longtime friend while making their introduction, I clung to the path I remembered and mourned the petals and stems. My ears perked up after the discovery, and I questioned the year that had passed. Had a year really passed? I could not deny it. Finding myself in the same place at the same summertime beginning could not mask the differences evident in the forest and in me. Common ground builds and erodes. Familiar is not forever. And the newbies would not have known the difference.
Later that summer I took a man on the hike. He had big plans to convert my rites of passage into a paved bike trail. His company specialized in such demolition and creation. A bike path would be accessible to more, enjoyed by more, and appreciated by more. Perhaps the path could even evolve into an attraction, a desperately needed draw for a rural economy that runs on the fumes of summertime ice cream shops. Bike paths are safer for emergency rescues too, like a paved runway pointing to the injured instead of a maze of evergreens delaying aid. The path would pave through the wilderness, changing the category of the land. Camp was excited; now the girls 12 years of age could bike instead of walk! They would enjoy that. I knew I would enjoy that too.
I would like to counter the oft spoken idiom of physicist Albert Einstein who once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Perhaps this applies well to the scientific method. The outdoors, however, host a battle of entropy and equilibrium. I walked my path over and over again. The map never changed, and many of the same trees remained. But it was in fact my sanity that became defined, and I became a different result.
Natasha King attends the College of William & Mary, her essay won the VOWA Dominion Resources Overall Best Essay. I really connected with Natasha's thoughts on the solitary pursuit of the wonders of nature.
Encountering Orcas
I am on a small boat bouncing on a choppy grey ocean, in the waters of the Puget Sound in Washington, searching for whales. The captain, who has obtained the location of a small orca pod from an earlier tour boat via radio, points out the tiny fins of the pod in the distance¬–two females, one male, and a calf. From this distance we can see only the small black points of their fins, like tiny blunt teeth appearing amid the waves.
The pod hugs the rocky shoreline of the nearest island, skirting the jagged shallows where water crashes and heaves against the stone and sand. As they recede towards the west, the captain turns the boat and we speed in a wide intercepting arc, easily overtaking the orcas. Wind rushes up the sleeves of my jacket, tears like cold fire through my thin pants. Too late, I realize that I am woefully underdressed for the occasion.
After a few minutes we stop and wait, the boat rocking on the waves. Regulation calls for us to maintain a minimum distance of two hundred yards, so we will have to let the orcas approach us. Currently, however, that seems unlikely to happen; they are continuing to make their way along the shore, ignoring us.
I am on this boat, shivering and alone, looking for killer whales, because of my deep-rooted and inexplicable need to experience nature face-to-face, in solitude.
Growing up, I loved hiking and exploring with my family. Together we walked the winding trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains and combed the shores of too many beaches to count. It was my father who taught me to search for secure footholds in the craggy surface of a steep rock face, my mother who caught dragonflies nimbly between her fingers and showed them to me and my siblings.
As I grew older, however, I found myself more frequently craving the peace and introspection of being alone with nature. I sought out the exhilaration and thrill of a one-on-one encounter, whether it be with a heron, a beetle, a vole by the side of the road, or a pod of orcas.
This particular endeavor, then, is one more in a long line of attempts. Here in Washington, far from my home, I am again seeking out contact, seeking out the sudden sense of wonder I achieve when the natural world confronts me. The tiny dark blips of those fins near the horizon are more thrilling than any high-resolution, close-up photograph. They are real, concrete, present; it is only a distance of a few hundred feet, only a metal rail and a short expanse of choppy water, which separate us.
I remember, as a small child at the zoo, trying to climb up the side of the chain link fence surrounding the snow leopard exhibit, in an attempt to get closer to the majestic silvery cats. I slipped and scraped my hand, but kept the injury to myself–it seemed private, a secret thing, a part and parcel of this quiet, personal encounter, this questing.
Suddenly the male orca breaks away from the pod. We see him heading in our direction, and in a flash everyone is at the rail, straining their eyes, searching. Someone calls out–they have caught a hint of his fin, cutting through the sea. We all rush to that side of the boat, scanning the water hungrily. So I am at the rail of the ship when the orca surfaces.
Only for an instant is he visible, moving in a slow, smooth slide through the boundary between sea and air, between the iron-grey water and the pale pewter sky. I am at the rail, sniffling, my hands chilled to the bone, my skin frigid. I am at the rail, standing, praying to see him, and yet when the orca surfaces, without warning or fanfare, pretext or reason, I am wholly unprepared.
I watch the water roll away from his body in opaque ripples. The black and white pattern, well-known from images I saw as a child, is as familiar as a bedtime story, but triggers some ancient reflex of fear and awe that causes me to grip the rail more tightly, lest I become unhinged at every joint, fall trembling in a heap of bones and sinew.
I hear the rasp of the orca's exhale, a thick rush of sound which is accompanied by a burst of mist out of its blowhole. The rasp echoes and re-echoes in the chilled caverns of my skull, and I stand transfixed at the rail, blood pounding in my ears. The orca and the ocean are suspended in perception for one reverberating instant: the chiaroscuro patchwork of its lustrous skin, the blended water and wind, the elements all breached and fading together at their fraying seams. That rasp. That rush of breath. I might never need to breathe again. My lungs, I think, will pump forever on the infinite remembrance of that single exhale.
The orca is gone as quickly as he appeared. And I am still shivering and shaking at the rail, though not, any longer, with cold. I slip into the boat's heated cabin, out of the wind, and huff warm bursts of air upon my chilled hands.
This, then, is the culmination of my efforts. The search, the quest, the morning spent freezing at the prow of the boat as it cut through wind and water–all for this, for one instant when I stared into the orca's dark eye, heard the ancient whisper of its breath. Hours traded for one second, one encounter–it is worth it.
My nose is running; my skin stings with the cold. I am still breathless. I close my eyes and see again the black and white curves of the orca's sinuous shape, hear the crash of the waves rolling off its back, taste the cold salt spray of the surrounding sea on my chapped lips.
I want to thank Lynn and Natasha for allowing me to publish their wonderful essays here. For any Virginia high school or college students interested in next year's contests, please visit VOWA's web site for more information.

What are some possible explanations for Holden's lack of motivation in school? Give at least two examples from The Catcher in the Rye.
- print Print
- list Cite
Holden is convinced that life at Pencey Prep, and school, in general, is a reflection of phoniness and inauthenticity. For Holden, he equates success in school with artificial "buttering up" of teachers and authority figures. This flies in the face of his own philosophy. Holden believes that a search for truth is essential. What he sees as success in school rewards phoniness. At the same time, Holden fails to really see the "point" in school. He has not been able to be convinced that what is being taught and assessed in school has meaning in his own life. Holden fails to see the connection between academic lessons and life connections. Within this lies another level to his poor performance and lack of motivation in school. Finally, I would say that motivation requires some level of emotional commitment and connection. Holden does not feature this. Holden does not have much in way of "buy in" regarding academic success. Holden is not someone that really features much in way of connection to what is happening in school. In this, there is a lack of motivation. Holden demonstrates a lack of emotional affect or connection and within this, one can see the motivation deficit as almost a conclusion. In a world where there is constant doubt about material, adults, and his own emotional sensibilities that enable him to "buy into" something real, Holden shows a lack of emotional affect with the concept of school and through this, Salinger shows that some level of academic success can only be found when students have the emotional quotient to embrace, at some level, what transpires in the school or classroom setting.

Video: Leitrim GAA hero takes the mic and sings Amhrán na bhFiann after PA system failure
GAA volunteers are praised for their generosity and dedication but they don't fall short when it comes to ingenuity either.
Ahead of the All-Ireland junior club football semi-final between Ardnaree of Mayo and Monaghan's Rockcorry at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada inCarrick-on-Shannon, the national anthem was played out over the speaker but not long into the song... the recording failed.
Up stepped quick-thinking Seán Ó Suilleabháin of Leitrim GAA. He grabbed a microphone and gave a rousing rendition of Amhrán na bhFiann that was wonderfully received by the crowd.
Watch what happened below:
Ardnaree emerged as victors on the day on a scoreline of 0-11 to 0-6.

A chance to grill North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust area governors has been backed by Isle MP Andrew Percy.
There are two chances to catch Trust governors this month at two arranged drop in sessions.

Mr Percy, a member of the Parliamentary Health Select Committee, said: "I encourage all those concerned to attend these sessions. If anyone has concerns about the Trust or its services they can air them at these meetings. They should take advantage of this opportunity and if they have any specific concerns I am more than happy to help. As a member of the Health Select Committee I am always looking at ways to improve health services in the Isle area.
The second of two sessions takes place in Butterwick House dining room at Scunthorpe Hospital on Wednesday from 3pm to 5pm, when the public can meet the Scunthorpe hospital governor and those from the members forum.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
All you need to know
In the begining of the game, be very agressive, rush people and try to stay between them and their minions, this will give you an edge when you fight. Also, don't be afraid to flash across turrets or run through them. The first kill is crucial for her. Use your condemn at the oponents side and always try to pin them to a wall for the stun and extra damage, if your a high level, you will pretty much have a guarenteed kill. Always go from lane to lane and fight, don't stick in your own lane, Vayne is one of the best gankers in the game. with this build you can 3 shot most champions with low hp. also, armor isn't a big deal due to the fact that every third attack does a percent of true damage equal to their max health. vayne is very easy to play but is very, very dependant on items, be sure to get those last hits and farm as much as possible. later game is when you want to farm for the last few levels and get money, first bloods and ganking will get you to the money you need early in the game. be sure to gank when possible, but don't leave your own lane open to attack while you are gone. lane with a champion that can hold their own against 2 opponents for a short ammount fo time while you gank.

First mention of Joseph Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili, 1878-1953), General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death. A friend and colleague of Lenin, Stalin succeeded the architect of the Russian Revolution as leader of the Bolshevik government.
Stalin caused the disastrous Soviet famine of 1932-33 (in which an estimated 6-8 million people, mostly Ukrainians, starved to death), the Great Purge or Great Terror of 1936-38 (in which several million more were executed or imprisoned in the gulag as suspected enemies of the state), and of course the creation and expansion of 476 prison camps in the Gulag system (see Bookmark for page 252), which at its height held as many as 2.5 million political prisoners and in which nearly 2 million people died between 1930 and 1953.

RESIDENTS are protesting about a building firm's plans for a field next to a proposed development site near Sheffield countryside.
Despite 22 objections from locals, Mandale Construction was granted planning permission two months ago to build 12 homes on land off Hanson Road, Loxley.
Now the company has submitted a construction method statement, which is awaiting council approval, covering access arrangements, location of the site compound, parking and hours of work.
Neighbours are unhappy about plans to build an access road, temporary buildings and a car park on the field.
They are also concerned some trees and bushes on the site boundary will have to be removed to create a link with the compound.
Resident Ken Fletcher, of Loxley Road, said: "We are concerned about them putting a road across the field into the side of the site. As local residents we are unhappy about the proposals and the environmental impact."
As well as the concerns about development of the road and compound on greenfield land, two objections have been made to Sheffield Council against the proposed working hours.
Mandale wants construction to be allowed between 7.30am and 5pm on Mondays to Fridays and from 7.30am until 1pm on Saturdays.
Neighbours Denise and Jeremy Rogers said: "Work is proposed to start at 7.30am on Saturdays. Perhaps an 8.30am start might alleviate any more animosity towards the developers and possibly be seen as a goodwill gesture on their part?"
Dawn Helliwell added: "I am sad to see this has been allowed after so many objections which have gone unheeded and been ignored.
"The hours of work seem unreasonable to me. A start at 7.30am? Noise levels are bound to be high and will affect neighbours."
Mandale said the temporary road would minimise the need for vehicles to access the site from Hanson Road, meaning less disturbance.
Steven Longstaff, of Mandale's planning agents England and Lyle, said: "The site facilities and compound will be located on adjacent land to minimise disruption.
"Car parking will be adjacent to the compound and site facilities to minimise the use of the Hanson Road and Leaton Close access."
Mr Longstaff said the edge of the site would have extra fruit and hawthorn trees planted once work is finished, and black poplar trees, which could be home to roosting bats, will be retained during the development.
