If you have a parent, elderly, or disabled relative living semi-independently, you always want to be sure they are safe, healthy, and remember the important activities in their lives. We understand what it's like. We also understand that, due to busy lives and demanding schedules, it's not always possible to check on them everyday (or multiple times throughout the day).
Introducing... CareCalls!
CareCalls are designed to help fill in the gaps between calls and visits from you, and/or home healthcare professionials. We will check to see that your mom is taking her medicine as prescribed, and that your dad is doing his daily exercise and remembers his upcoming doctors appointment.
Unlike other services, which are automated, CareCalls are made by live people. Even though it would be less expensive for us to have a machine do all the work, we feel a machine cannot substitute for a caring and friendly voice on the other end of the phone. Only a human being can develop a relationship, provide valuable social interaction, and get a sense for when things just do not seem right.
How It Works
A CareCall is a three step process. Each call has a purpose, determined by you. Below is an example of how a typical CareCall works.
The Call
Each day, a live representative will check in on your loved one by making a brief phone call. We start with some friendly conversation with the goal of understanding how they are feeling both physically and emotionally.
The Checkup
Along the way, we check on health and safety issues as instructed by you. We also remind them of medications, meals, exercise, and other important activities.
The Update
Finally, we send you an email or text message update letting you know everything is okay and that we fulfilled the requirements of the call. If we suspect any problems, we will notify you immediately.
CareCalls can be easily customized based on the needs of you and your loved one. You tell us what you want us to achieve with each call, when to call (morning, afternoon, or evening), and we'll take care of the rest. Our basic plan includes one call per day, Monday through Friday. You also have the option of scheduling up to three calls per day, weekend calls, and exact time calls (when a call must be made at an exact time, e.g. 7:30pm). There are no contracts and you can change or cancel you service at anytime.
If you have any questions, give us a call at 1 (888) 477-0435 or contact us using the form at the bottom of the page. You may also want to take a look at our frequently asked questions. If you are ready to signup for CareCalls, click here to signup now.

Elyria, OH December 6, 2012 KS Associates, a civil engineering and surveying firm located in Elyria, Ohio, is sponsoring the University of Akrons 2013 ASCE Student Chapter Concrete Canoe Team. The team is comprised of 12 University of Akron civil engineering students who share one goal design, construct and race a 20-foot concrete canoe, and qualify to compete in the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition. KS is donating 3D laser scanning services, which will help facilitate design of the canoe. On Thursday, November 29, 2012, canoe team captain Clint Cochran and fellow team member Justin Wolf trailored a fiberglass canoe to KS headquarters. KS Surveyor Rick Costello scanned the canoe using a Leica ScanStation C10, giving the civil engineering students a hands-on lesson in laser scanning technology. KS will convert the laser scanning data into a CAD file, which the students will use to design a water-worthy canoe. The first round of canoe races takes place on Friday, April 5, 2013, at Hinckley Lake during the ASCE Ohio Valley Student Conference. The UA team will be among 13 competing teams from Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Each team will score points based on canoe race results, a technical paper, an oral presentation, the canoes graphics and aesthetics, and overall presentation. The winning team will have the opportunity to compete nationally against schools from across the country at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in June 2013. According to Lynn Miggins, P.E., President of KS Associates, KS is excited to be part of a competition that helps students develop essential civil engineering skills. The competition requires design, team building, project management, technical writing, networking and marketing skills that engineers use throughout their careers. About KS Associates KS Associates is a civil engineering and land surveying firm founded in 1987. The firm provides land survey and mapping services; 3D laser scanning services; design, bidding and construction administration of public infrastructure and transportation projects; and site development engineering services for institutional, commercial and residential projects. For more information visit: www.ksassociates.com. About the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC) The ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC) provides students with a practical application of engineering principles along with important team and project management skills. The event challenges students' knowledge and creativity while showcasing the versatility and durability of concrete as a building material. Known as Americas Cup of Civil Engineering, the first national competition was held in 1988. Winners receive academic scholarships totaling $9,000. For more information visit: www.asce.org/concretecanoe. Photo Caption: KS Surveyor Rick Costello (left) demonstrates 3D Laser Scanning technology to University of Akron students Clint Cochran (middle) and Justin Wolf (right). The students will use the laser scanning data provided by KS Associates to complete the design of their concrete canoe.

text: 277 FXUS62 KTAE 181355 AFDTAE AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 955 AM EDT Sat May 18 2013 .NEAR TERM [Until 8 PM This Evening]... Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing in association with a mid level impulse that turned southeastward early this morning across East Central Alabama. Questions remain as to whether this convective complex will sustain itself long enough to have a significant impact on our forecast area today. Already, a few showers and storms have drifted into the northwestern portion of the area, and recent trends from radar imagery across East Central Alabama do show signs of reintensification of the storms. The morning KTAE sounding does show some favorable thermal profiles above 700 mb where the lapse rates are relatively steep, on the order of 7.5 to 8 deg C/Km. However, moderate heating is necessary today to really make full use of this favorable profile aloft. A warm layer from about 850-700mb will limit more robust updrafts early in the day until surface temps reach the mid 80s. High resolution guidance continues to have issues with this particular system, but most show the cluster impacting Southern Georgia through about 18z before diminishing through the afternoon. While this seems plausible as diminished heating in the northern counties will limit overall destabilization, areas to the south, along the Florida border could see late day development as mesoscale boundaries emanating from the convection across our northern counties interacts with the sea breeze front. The strongest storms today would have potential to produce some small hail and gusty winds. The overall severe potential is low. Made a few updates to the inherited forecast to favor greater rain chances across the northern areas and indicate a more conditional potential further to the south across North Florida. && .SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday]... Very summerlike conditions are expected across the region for both Sunday and Monday, as the shortwave Trof Axis, which will begin the weekend to our north, gradually slides eastward to a position off the eastern seaboard by Monday afternoon. This will allow for Upper Level ridging to build in from the west, with High Temps expected to reach the lower 90s each day over the interior, with lower to perhaps mid 80s near the coast. This shortwave Trof may provide just enough lift and instability to combine with the daytime heating to produce isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. The best chances for rain will be across eastern portions of the CWA (nearest the Trof), but even here, 30% should be the greatest value. && .LONG TERM [Monday Night through Friday]... The 500mb ridge over the Southeast U.S. early in the work week will transition to a weak trough by late week. The height falls over our forecast area will be modest so only a slight increase in PoP is expected later in the week. Until then, the GFS forecasts more deep layer moisture (hence QPF) than the ECMWF for our region. Climatologically it`s still a bit early for widespread mesoscale- induced convection, so an average of the two solutions will get us close to our climatological PoP (around 20%), with a diurnal cycle. High temperatures will be at or a few degrees above average, with lows near average (in the 60s). && .AVIATION [Beginning 14Z Saturday]... See the Near Term discussion above for a synopsis of the evolution of this mornings complex of storms. Generally VFR conditions will prevail today once the morning ceilings scatter out. However, expect MVFR ceilings and visibilities within areas of rain, impacting primarily KABY and KDHN through midday. Overnight tonight, expect more widespread low ceiling and fog development. && .MARINE... Generally light onshore winds and low seas will dominate our coastal waters for the next several days, with just some minor enhancements near the coast with the afternoon sea breeze. && .FIRE WEATHER... Relative humidity values will remain above critical levels for the next several days, with relatively light transport winds and deep mixing heights. Thus, Red Flag conditions are not expected in the foreseeable future. && .HYDROLOGY... Area rivers and streams will remain well below flood stage for the next several days with very little rain in the forecast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Can Previous Smart Lipo Affect Fat Grafting with a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Hello. About four years ago I had smart lipo to my upper and lower abdomen. It was a waste of money because the results were minimal and three months later all my fat had accumulated again. Now, I.am interested in the brazilian butt lift and I was told that previous liposuction in an area will affect the fat grafting to my buttocks. I am petite and all my fat is located in this area. Does this mean I cant have it done?
Can you still have the Brazilian Butt Lift if you have previously had Smart Lipo?

Through two games, the biggest problem the Georgia State coaching staff is trying to figure out is how to get to the opposing quarterback. The Panthers have yet to record a sack this season.
Getting the team to realize that a pass rush involves more than the defensive line is the first step, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"All sacks are a function of all 11," Georgia State coach Bill Curry said. "Most breakdowns are a function of all 11. We've got to do a better job of all of them."
One of the problems on defense has been getting the players to learn a new scheme. The team switched from a 3-4 defense to a 4-2-5 this season.
The Panthers have lost games to South Carolina State and Tennessee by a combined score of 84-19.

Yeah, me too. Most of us know that childbearing is painful during pregnancy, during labor, and afterwards. If a husband truly loved his wife, would he keep her knocked up like that? I know if it was me and he wanted me to stay pregnant more than half of my life...he wouldn't have a dick to use anymore.

I would say families began to get quite big after The Great War and World War II because they were encouraged to expand their families with more children. Before we discovered oil, coals and more resources, it was not possible for us to sustain a family of more than a few children at a time. Now, it is possible because everything is readily available in stores. If we did not have oil, coals, rice and other resources, we wouldn't be able to sustain more than 500 million human beings on Earth. Today, we are heading toward 7 billion. We hit the first billion somewhere in the 19th century. We have been here for thousands and thousands of years but we didn't have a lot to survive on and we didn't have great healthcare back then either. Once we began to learn more and started taking advantage of the resources, that's when the population exploded. |

Honestly, I dunno how the Duggar family could afford health insurance and cost of food for a family of 19 people!
I wonder if they could afford for the kids to attend college? Also I think it's rash for them to announce this pregnancy especially when she's 6 weeks gone. And she's in the high risk group of miscarrying due to her age. Frankly, I'm surprised her body hasn't started breaking down due to overwork from all those continual pregnancies. I wouldn't want to be in Michelle Duggar's shoes for anything in the world.

LOL. I looked down on current events and didn't see anything. Well, I think it's overwhelming, but I think that it's their problem. As long as they are fed, well-clothed, mom and dad are healthy mentally, debt-free, then it's all right. It's not hurting anyone in society. They are cute.

For some reason - this stuff reminds me of a movie called IDIOCRACY where redneck families breed like rabbits and the "smart" family has no luck of giving birth to even one child. The husband died of heart attack from masturbating at sperm clinic for artificial insemination!! sad!

I don't understand why we don't wear hats anymore. Yeah, it's the cause of hat hair, but think of the infinite benefits wearing a hat would bring. Protection from UV rays, shade from heat, and a summer accessory that would allow you to stand out from everybody else.
San Diego Hat Company makes the most interesting hats that are structured differently than your average hat. This Ultrabraid X-Large Contrast Brim Hat has a 10-inch brim with an adjustable sizing tie. It's black with a lovely white trim, elevating it above wide brim hats you can find at any department store. The black and white color makes it a classy and chic accessory for your summer dress or even a polished, modern outfit. Very reminiscent of My Fair Lady without the gaudiness.
A timeless look.
When I went to Hawaii a month or so ago, I lived in my hat.
Here's what I envisioned: A holiday chic look, lounging by an infinity pool or scouring a local handicraft market, with oversized Alexander Wang sunglasses adding an air of mystery and Chanel Le Vernis in Jade on the toenails.
After looking at the photos, here's what actually was: Pale, pasty, practically all vision obscured by my blah-colored hat. You couldn't tell from the photos whether I was 36 or 63.
Lesson learned. Next time, I'm going with a colorful paper braid hat with adjustable brim. The happy tropical hues alone are enough to liven up any holiday chic look.
That, and some serious self-tanner.

Ongoing ResearchCurrent research activities by Neuro-Oncology Program members seek to achieve the following aims:
A relatively young Program, the Neuro-Oncology Program has strengthened its research base over the last five years, expanding its activities within each tumor type, and expanding intra- and inter-programmatic activity. Through a number of research programs, including the SPORE and the Neuro-Oncology National Institutes of Health Training Grant, the Program is able to conduct long-term research projects, develop and test novel clinical interventions and recruit and train outstanding young investigators to continue the tradition of research at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. The following are some of the ongoing research initiatives in the Neuro-Oncology Program: Oligodendroglioma -- 1p/19q Deletions Oligodendrogliomas are a unique form of brain tumor. These tumors affect young adults, with initial symptoms typically being seizures. Oligodendrogliomas are occasionally able to be surgically removed because of limited invasiveness, and they frequently respond to initial treatments. Robert Jenkins, M.D., Ph.D., co-leader of the Neuro-Oncology Program, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Associate Director, and principal investigator of the "Glioma Markers" P01 grant, a research program funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), contributed to the seminal discovery that deletions of regions in specific chromosomes (1p and 19q) are associated with oligodendrogliomas. Specifically, these deletions seem to predict prolonged survival and better sensitivity to chemotherapy in certain patients with those deletions. Dr. Jenkins, in collaboration with colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, has completed a detailed map of important chromosomal regions (19q13.3) in gliomas. These data form much of the basis of the research supported by Dr. Jenkins' NCI grant. Based on work done at Mayo, there is sufficient reason to believe that most, if not all of the tumor's clinical characteristics are biologically driven, that is, due to the genetics of the tumor. Dr. Jenkins' research team also identified other relatively small chromosomal deletions (19q13.3) in two glioma cell lines (U87 and A172). These deletions completely encompass the commonly deleted region that the researchers mapped in patient gliomas, and therefore represent a potential resource to study these observations in the laboratory. In addition, the research team is attempting to develop oligodendroglioma human tumor cell lines. Such cell lines will facilitate the continued genetic studies. The identification of the 19q tumor suppressor gene and the evaluation of its function should lead to new diagnostic and new therapeutic approaches for treatment of glioma patients. Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a unique lymphoma and is invariably lethal without treatment. Current treatments are extending survival but are not increasing the number of cured patients, and the quality of life of such survival is poor. Variable tumor characteristics may reflect differing stimuli from within the tumor itself and/or differing responses by surrounding normal tissues, particularly specific cellular functions that control the normal B cell growth. A multidisciplinary team of individuals led by Brian O'Neill, M.D., has been working together for more than a decade on this tumor. Dr. O'Neill's group has systematically contributed to the knowledge base of PCNSL by sequentially studying large numbers of patients with regard to their disease, treatment and outcomes with the intent of identifying risk factors, and better approaches to management and treatment of this disease. From these studies has come emerging basic and translational PCNSL research focused on the identification of an infectious agent(s) that might stimulate the tumor-producing cascade and abnormal immune cell (B cell cellular functions). There is already pilot data that a specific virus is involved in at least some of the cases. This work has continued within the Iowa/Mayo Lymphoma SPORE grant. Other outgrowths of this ongoing research include the development, launch, conduct, completion, analysis, and publication of a number of investigator-initiated clinical trials sponsored by the North Central Cancer Treatment Group. Mediators of Invasion The research of Panos Anastasiadis, Ph.D., and Joseph Loftus, Ph.D. , demonstrates the Program's Mayo Clinic system-wide functionality. Although each laboratory is investigating mediators of invasion, their work focuses on different mechanisms and is complementary (Loftus: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. 2006; 349(3): 939-947; Anastasiadis: Journal of Cell Biology. 2006; 174: 1087-96). The research teams exchange data and have emerging collaborations between themselves and other Mayo colleagues. A unique focus of the Anastasiadis laboratory is the differential expression of invasion mediators including key components of the cadherin-catenin complex in pediatric age group astrocytomas compared to their adult counterparts. Joon Uhm, M.D., and colleagues, have accrued compelling evidence that galectin-1 is an important mediator of glioma invasion. This research extensively utilized the Brain SPORE Xenograft Core. RNA was extracted by way of laser capture microdissection from the periphery (invasive edge) and core of tumor and the RNA was analyzed for differential gene expression by Affymetrix microarray analysis. Galectin-1 was identified as one of the genes overexpressed uniquely at the invasive margin of human glioblastoma tumor. Overexpression of galectin-1 resulted in increased invasiveness in vitro. Moreover, these galectin-1 overexpressing cells, when implanted intracranially, led to shortened survival. The data generated from this research is the basis for a recently submitted R01 grant. Haplotypes containing the GLTSCR1-exon-1 T allele are significantly associated with increased oligodendroglioma risk (Cancer. 2005; 103: 2363-2372). The haplotype containing the GLTSCR1-exon-1 C allele are significantly inversely associated with glioma risk. Ping Yang, M.D., Ph.D., and Dr. Jenkins are currently validating these results using independent sets of Mayo Clinic gliomas and oligodendrogliomas in Radiation Therapy Oncology Group trial 9402. This work is also a major component of the GLIOGENE consortium. New Therapeutic Approaches Phase I/II clinical trials for new therapeutic approaches usually originate within Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, while Phase II/III trials are often developed through the North Central Cancer Treatment Group. However, many other pathways can bring candidate interventions into the Neuro-Oncology Program for clinical application. These include (but are not limited to) National Institutes of Health Phase I and Phase II contracts or R21 "Quick Trials", NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, the SPORE Program, commercial sources, and consortium agreements. The following are some of the ongoing clinical trials activities in the Neuro-Oncology Program:

Can you send me an RSS feed of your search daily? Any any live auctions, flea markets, and antique shops you find lenses in? You know, so everybody can get in on the fun...Competition is a good thing. For the seller, not buyers.

Sorry Emil - I (we?) thought you must have "jumped on" one of the objectives mentioned recently like the 6D, or Cooke IIe!
It may seem there's only a few of us reading this post when in fact... 9,529 views!
I can see both sides of the issue here. If you are looking to buy a lens and others point it out to potential bidders, it could drive up the price for all those interested (Good for seller, bad for buyer).... On the other hand, sometimes a buyer isnt aware of an auction and even if the item sells for more because its made more public via a forum, that buyer may have otherwised completely missed out on the auction (Good for buyer, good for seller).
Given there are at least two sides to this issue, lets all agree to disagree and get back to discussing some esoteric nugget about one of our favorite SF lenses. Like the fact that a direct decendant of Pinkham & Smith lives 4 miles from me! I need to call him - I believe he has a collection of P&S lenses.

Eastman Kodak Portrait Lens 4.8/305mm (12") just went for EUR 340 + 20% commission.
I had bid 320. I was hoping a kodak lens would not be as popular in a European auction. Just takes one person who wants it a little more than I.

Jason Statham's Expendables awe
Gossip Of The Day
Jason Statham felt like a "p***y" on the set of 'The Expendables'.
The British actor - who plays Lee Christmas in the Sylvester Stallone-directed action thriller - admits he was not feeling confident when he joined the cast, but confesses the cast were all great to him.
He said: "It was the first time - ever - that I've turned up on set and felt like a p***y.!
Discussing the cast - which consisted of Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke - Jason said: "Only Sly could bring all those legends together. It's strange to know they could tear you apart with their bare hands, but they are all so friendly - great mates to have in your back pocket."
Despite often playing the hard-man in action movies, Jason reveals he is looking forward to working on 'The Killer Elite' with Clive Owen and Robert De Niro.
He told GQ magazine: "Those guys you can really bounce off - improvise - do something with a little more depth.
"And Bobby De Niro - it doesn't get much better than that. Most of the time I'll have hairdressers cast opposite me. Now it's Oscar winners."

This is my recipe for my sweet and spicy barbecue sauce that I use at competition bbq cooks. Plus, it makes a great base to start your own BBQ sauce.
You can make this recipe and then add a few more ingredients to make it your own... or you can use it as-is (that's what I do)!
In a large pot combine the above ingredients over medium heat.
Be sure to stir really well to incorporate the brown sugar and dry spices.
Simmer for 30 minutes and stir often.
I use this recipe for BBQ Ribs, BBQ Chicken and Pork Butt or Pork Shoulder at all the BBQ contests I cook. And it's really great for pulled pork at home!

Interviewer's Note: Got to know Tong Yee through a friend who was his student. I must say it was a really inspiring experience for me to meet up and chat with him. I admire and respect what he is doing and hope that The Thought Collective continues to get better at what they do. :)
Tong Yee / 38 / Singapore / Director at The Thought Collective / www.school-of-thought.com
What do you live for?
I live for God and to serve his people.
I prefer to focus my energy to build something that can be permanent, or at least leave a sustainable legacy, as opposed to pursuing fleeting things like, say, an expensive car. Luxury will expire after a few years. The pleasure we receive from luxury almost always depreciates. Why would I want to invest my time and energy to pursue something that will expire someday? That said, I have nothing against people who go after these things in their lives.
What is some of the best advice that you have been given/want to give our readers?
There is so much great wisdom that I have learnt and can share with you, but unfortunately the value really depends on the context to which you wish to receive it.
There was a memorable one that I was given when I was much younger. It seemed insignificant back then, but as I grew older I began to realise how important it is.
"If you can be trusted for the small things, you can be trusted with the big things as well."
There are many simple little things about us that speak volumes about how we deal with bigger things. Remember how our parents would nag at us to switch the lights off when we leave a room? It may not seem like a big deal, but if you can be trusted to perform small tasks like that, then you will have less problem dealing with bigger issues when the time comes. Essentially we are all creatures of habit. And our habits tell us a lot about the kind of people we are.
Something random you'd like to say?
There is a fine line between being open as a person and simply being careless as a person.

Ask your TEFL course provider
There are many TEFL course providers out there. It is not always easy to find the right one to suit you among these many, many options. Therefore, as a student and consumer, you ought to ask the right questions from your TEFL education provider. For starters, you have to understand that a TEFL qualification is an international one. Therefore, you need to pick a course provider that offers properly accredited and recognized courses for you to take on. Accreditation and recognition are what make a TEFL qualified person land a job, or not land one at all. Therefore, you need to make sure that your qualification is sufficient to impress an employer.
Make sure that you pay adequate attention to how the course is accredited. Rather than settling into a course that no one will recognize, you need to pick something with the relevant accreditation to get you into that dream job you have been hoping to get your hands on. Employers are often concerned about how relevant a qualification is. Of course, an accredited course will also be of better quality.
The next thing to take in to consideration is whether your selected course provider will actually be able to assist you in finding a job. Of course, the main reason for you to study a TEFL course is definitely the fact that you want to follow your dreams of being a teacher in a foreign country. However, unless your education provider is unable to provide you with some sort of assistance on finding a job, it will not always be easy to land that dream position. Therefore, it is always important that you try your best to find a course provider with the right connections as well as the ability to point you in the right direction. What you need to keep in mind is to not look for a course provider who is affiliated with a specific language school. This could lead you into teaching at the same place for a few years. Instead, stick to a place that will allow you job guidance as a part of the education process.
As for the cost, you don't always have to stick with the most expensive course for the best result. While studying in the location you wish to teach is the best option to guarantee a work placement, it is not the only way. Online study programs and combined study programs are just as effective and at the same time, economical.
So, choose your TEFL course provider wisely. Take your time and always weight your option before you make a solid decision.

Listen now I'm talking
I've been here for weeks
Waiting in this growing crowd
Staring at my feet
The world around me's turning
I'm just standing still
The time has come for changes
Do something or I will
I'm a feather in a storm
I'm a raindrop in the sea
If I don't get enough of you
I'm a lighter shade of me
Sisters, brothers all around you
There's a devil in the crowd
Meet his eye and it's the end of time
If you're praying don't be loud
It's crowded in the lowland
But the fools stay on the hill
You control us now
You have the reins
Do something or we will
So show us why we came here
Before we lay on the ground
Give it to us loud and clear
Make the devil turn around

We Love to Hear What You Have to Say...
4:23pm. Friday 29 June 2012
Post by: Stewart Wingate, CEO
The time it takes to walk between the aircraft and arrivals, delays at baggage reclaim and our beautiful toilets in the South Terminal are just three of the comments which we received from passengers following our recent Meet the Managers events.
At Gatwick we treat all our passengers as our guests, so it is important to us that we hear your views to help make improvements to our facilities and services. We launched Meet the Managers in March for our senior management staff to go out into the terminals to talk to passengers and listen to what they think.
We have had two events so far and have spoken to over 300 passengers and recorded over 200 comments about the service we provide and the ambience of the airport. I am delighted to report that most are very complimentary about the improvements at Gatwick and their experience as they travel through the airport.
There is always room for improvement so we have been particularly interested to know the frustrations our passengers experience when they are here and have the opportunity to address them. The top three issues seem to be:
The distance from the aircraft to the arrivals halls - we are a big airport serving 34 million passengers each year so we cover a big area. However, we have a dedicated service available to help you move around the airport if you find the distances too much to walk.
The wait for baggage - We're working hard with all airlines and their handling agents to improve the arrival time of passenger's baggage and each month we publish our baggage performance statistics in the baggage halls and on our website. This year we're working towards delivering 98% of all baggage within 45 minutes of flights landing.
The process for finding lost luggage – We're reviewing the signage in our baggage reclaim halls to ensure that we make it much clearer for passengers to know what to do and where to go when they have lost their bag.
Passengers also had some great things to say about us:
Loved the family and assistance lanes - We have a £1.2 billion investment programme to transform the airport for our airlines and passengers. This includes new security areas in both terminals with dedicated facilities for passengers who need a bit of extra help and a premium facility for those who are in more of a hurry.
Impressed with the South Terminal toilets - We have transformed the toilets in South Terminal arrivals to provide passengers with more space and better facilities. It's great to hear they are being appreciated.
The helpful and friendly nature of our staff – It is rewarding to know that the dedication of our staff is recognised by our passengers. Everyone who works at Gatwick is always happy to go that extra mile to welcome our passengers and treat them as our guest.
The next Meet our Managers event is scheduled to take place on 7 September from 5-7pm in our South Terminal Departure lounge. If you're travelling through Gatwick that day, we hope you can join us and look forward to hearing what you have to say about Gatwick. If you can't be with us, send us your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com

I tookd my nephew age 13 to airport on Tuesday. He had not flown alone before and I was worried. Chief security officer asked me if we were ok and when I expressed concern he fast tracked us through family security zone. Then arranged for lady to show him where to go. I was most grateful. You are a hero thank you so much. Sorry didn't get your name but you know who you are.

I have been travelling through various airports since the age of three. Using Gatwick at least once a year. Security checks were always difficult, painful necessity. Now as a 30 something parent with two young children they are more trying than ever. This year we were directed to your family check in area. What a wonderful idea! I can remember how daunting it was as a child. My 5 year old happily walk through the small, 'castle' design, metal detector. The staff were patent and friendly. Most importantly were set up to receive pushchairs! I just wanted to take time out of my day to write and let you know how impressed I was with the new service. Thank you
