Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval is a yearly scholarly publication indexed, peer-reviewed, and distributed by UCO Press. Regularly published since 1993, Revista is the official journal of SOFIME (Sociedad de Filosofía Medieval). Its official venue is the University of Córdoba (Spain).
The main scope of Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval is the broad field of studies on medieval thought. Its most specific aim is to provide scholarship with outstanding scientific contributions specifically on the scientific and philosophical reflections developed through the Middle Ages, their sources, and their influence throughout the Renaissance and the Early-Modern Period. Any original contribution to the study on the four main medieval traditions – Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek – is welcomed, especially if focused on the transmission of knowledge among these different frameworks. While the main interest of the journal ultimately resides in the philosophical analysis of doctrinal positions held by medieval and early-modern thinkers, papers examining the historical context of those positions are welcomed as well, recognising the implicit link between historical and philosophical study of medieval thought. The journal also welcomes original papers on the broad history of scientific reflection, from the Late Antiquity to the Early-Modern Period, especially when linked to their medieval developments or sources.
Dedicated sections of the journal aim at publishing critical reviews of new published books, as well as scientific notes of short length. In exceptional cases, Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval accepts modern translations of medieval and early-modern texts of short length and duly introduced. Translations should be realised bearing in mind their twofold aim of divulgation and scholarly contribution: the editorial committee will accept the submission only of those papers meeting both these requirements.
The submitted articles must be original contributions. Please, notice that the journal will accept a limited number of contributions by the same author. As a general rule, authors should submit to Revista no more than one article every three years: the editors will decide case to case the admissibility of further contributions by the same author in a shorter length of time than the mentioned above. Similar consideration may apply to book reviews.
Authors should be aware that Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval will hold the rights of the published articles. Consequently, published articles must not be published, either entirely or partially, in any other publications without an explicit authorisation by the journal editorial committee.

The average cost of a mail order bride is between $5,000 and $30,000. There are five main costs:
- Agency Fees: This pays for the services the agency provides. Usually, it charges for contacting women in the agency's database and sometimes also for coaching or matchmaking.
- Travel Expenses: Airfare, accommodations, and in country travel, usually by rail or taxi, are a major expense.
- Translators/Guides/Drivers: Most men will need some of these personal services in Ukraine, Colombia, or Thailand.
- Bureaucratic Charges: Charges for visas and passports are basically fairly cheap, but if something is amiss and you have to hire an immigration lawyer it can be expensive.
- Assimilation Expenses: This is probably the most overlooked expense. It is going to take your new wife time to assimilate into your community and it is often more expensive than men expect.
Agency Fees
Before you start your adventure you have to pick an agency. Most guys really do not think about the dating agency they pick. They simply see a hot girl and think: "Wow! I would love to meet her!"
That's almost an impossible urge to resist. Dating agencies know this and so they cover their websites with photos of hot women. They are not stupid. They want to hold your attention, and, yes, we do the same thing here on this page too.
But the agency you choose can drastically impact your costs and your chance of success. Agencies basically charge for two types of services communication services and logistical services.
Almost every agency allows men to sign up to look at the profiles of ladies for free. Then they generate revenue by charging men fees to communicate with the women in their databases, because they know if you see the women you will want to get to know the women.
However, the structure and schedule of the fees they charge is usually confusing and unclear. Even our favorite agency, A Foreign Affair, offers an array of tiers, discounts, and plans to send and read emails.
The most expensive agencies charge for credits that men can use to contact women through email or chat.
For instance, Anastasia's family of sites (Anastasiadate, Amolatina, Asiandate, and Arabiandate) charge 10 credits to send an email and 10 credits to open a woman's response.
So, that's twenty credits, but to understand the true cost you have to know what you paid for credits and that varies widely.
These sites give discounts for buying credits in bulk, but even the cheapest credits are .38 cents each.
To get credits at that rate though you have to spend $1800, which means sending and receiving a letter is going to cost you at least $7.60.
More than likely you will pay $12.00 for a letter, but if you buy the smallest package you will pay $16.00.
Chat is where you can really spend money because most companies that offer chat charge by the minute. That can super expensive, especially if you are using video chat, but we highly recommend using video chat because then you can be sure that the woman you are speaking to is the woman you want to speak to.
The logistical expenses are for tours, translators, drivers, and other expenses required to meet someone face to face.
There used to be dozens of agencies who offered these services. They got out of it because of the passage of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 and because selling access for chat was more profitable and less of a hassle.
Today Loveme.com is almost the only place to go for translators, guides, and dating advice.
Certainly, it is the last of the large companies that offer a full range of services. That is the main reason that we encourage serious guys to considered Loveme.
Most guys need a little logistical help. International travel is complicated and the expenses can really add up. And even the tour companies do not cover air fare to the country you are going to visit.
Travel Expenses
Travel expenses are probably the number one worry for most men. For a lot of men, even those not from East Tennessee and Iowa, international travel is just outside of their comfort zone.
So, they worry that they are going to get ripped off on airfare, hotel rates, restaurant bills, and taxis.
For the most part, these fears are blown all out of proportion if you do a little due diligence and follow the simple suggestions below.
Today it is especially easy to shop for airfare. Check your favorite sites and then compare them to Google Flights. That will give you a good base.
You might also want to compare the flight with what you can get through the airline's official company website.
If the cheapest fare is on an airline you do not recognize you should check the airlines review on Skytrax. They have reviews of virtually every airline in the world and they can be really helpful.
A lot of the big foreign airlines offer a much higher level of service than is common on domestic flights in the United States or European Union, but many of the smaller airlines offer a level of service below anything you have ever imagined.
That might be the only way to get to where you want to go, but you might decide to spend a few dollars more and fly on a different airline with a higher reputation for customer service.
Shopping for accommodations has never been easier or offered more choices.
Besides regular hotels there you can rent apartments, guest houses, single rooms, or even just a bed in a hostel. And because of the plethora of internet travel sites, it is easy to shop for the best deals.
Currently, it is possible to get a five-star hotel room in Ukraine on Booking.com for about the same price as a Motel 6 in the United States and on Airbnb, it is possible to find private rooms for LESS than $10 a night.
Right now, Ukraine is a particularly good deal, but prices in Colombia, Thailand, Philippines, Costa Rica, and Peru are just a fraction of what you would pay in Western Europe, the United States, or Australia.
Find the best deals you can and compare those to what you can find on Google's Hotel site.
Even Russia is a lot better travel deal today than it was five or ten years ago. Yes, even Moscow and St. Petersburg are a lot cheaper than just a few years ago.
Food is another item you can easily save a fortune on. If you want to eat like a native it is not hard to eat on $5.00 a day in any of the romance tourism destinations.
Now, I am not saying that you will love a daily diet of rice and boiled fish in Asia or borsch and potatoes in Eastern Europe, but you can find extremely cheap food.
If you want to eat "Western Food" in Asia you can probably do that for about one half of what you would pay in restaurants in the United States or Europe. And, right now, Ukraine is foodie heaven.
The quality of the high-end restaurants in Kiev, Odesa, Lviv, or the other big cities stands up very well with the best restaurants in the world and the prices are incredible, often only 20% of what you might pay in Los Angeles, New York, or Sydney.
This makes taking a beautiful mail order bride out for a night on the town a lot more reasonable.
Check out what TripAdvisor's best restaurants in Kiev and you will realize you can eat amazingly well for what you would pay to eat at Denny's in Oklahoma.
Beyond TripAdvisor, there are not as many good restaurant rating sites. Yelp and Kayak do not even cover most of the best mail order bride countries, but Google is still a reliable source.
Just Google, "Best restaurant near me," and enjoy.
Oh, and be sure to ask for the menus with the prices on them. It could not even hurt to take a photo of the menu, because overcharging foreigners is something that happens pretty regularly.
In-Country Travel
It used to be that in-country travel was an absolute nightmare for international travelers. Haggling with foreign taxi drivers is a nightmare and something you should avoid at all costs.
No one wants to start a trip by haggling over a few dollars, but today Uber, Lyft, or the Asian knockoff Grab are ubiquitous. That means there is no haggling and you know exactly what you owe before you step into the car.
For longer trips in country there are some very good local airlines in most of these countries.
Cebu Pacific is a highly rated airline in the Philippines with a very friendly cabin crew.
If you are going to stay for a month or two in Ukraine you will definitely fall in love with Ukraine Rail. The trains are generally on time, but the real attraction is the price.
Prices have gone up a little recently, but if you are not in a hurry you can travel anywhere in the country on a third-class train for about $20. If you are in a rush you can take the inter-city trains to the major cities for less than $50.
Most tourists take the inter-cities, which are faster and more luxurious, but it is really educational to take the 3rd class train at least once. That is how most Ukrainians travel.
So, if you are a Western man with a middle-class income, travel expenses should not be a reason for you to not to pursue a mail order bride.
Translators, Guides & Drivers
Traveling to meet a foreign woman is different from just traveling. You are journeying around the world in pursuit of a goal that might just change your life forever and there are some specialized expenses you will have to pursue that goal.
Translators are an unavoidable expense for most Western men visiting Ukraine and really for serious guys visiting Thailand or even Colombia it is probably wise to use a translator.
Yes, Google Translate is pretty amazing, but it is not as quick and easy as using a human translator.
A translator can help you make a good impression on a first date. A lot of women, particularly in Ukraine, having a translator with them for the first meeting even if they do not really need a translator.
But translators are expensive. Most of the time a girl will try to get you to use a translator hired through the agency that represents her.
If you do the rate will be about $20 to $25 an hour. A lot of times that is simply a necessary expense on the first date.
Now, some men fret that the woman is getting a kickback on the translator's fee and that undoubtedly happens sometimes, but that does not mean that the woman is not serious about a relationship. It means she is a realist.
She knows most dates are not going to go anywhere, so she might as well make a little money.
If you really want a date with a super-hot Ukrainian fitness model you probably should simply consider using a translator just one of the old traditions, you have to follow on the first date. Just tell the girl it is only for the first date.
For second dates or women you meet on social media sites you can go with one of the independent translation agencies. You will probably pay $15 an hour or so. The translators at Go2UA gets great reviews.
You also might want to hire a driver, because in many of these countries street signs are optional and renting a car can be a hassle.
Now, one way you can get most or even all of your translation and transportation costs in one place is to use a romance tour by one of the dating agencies.
A Foreign Affair is the dominant company in the field because they do such an incredible job.
Check out the video below and you will understand why they are so well respected.
On a romance tour, the company will help you meet women from their database individually or in groups at parties they hold.
Romance tours also usually cover the costs of food and housing, so there are few out of pocket expenses if you stick with the group.
If you decide to go on a private date the agency can help you get a driver and translator at a competitive rate.
All in all romance tours are the best way for most Western men to meet a mail order bride. They help with all the annoying hassles of travel so you can focus on impressing a beautiful young woman.
Bureaucratic Charges
If you have never traveled you will need a passport. Currently, the basic fee for a United States passport is $110, plus probably another $12 to get acceptable passport photos.
Here is the link to the United States State Department's Passport Office.
Most of the countries that generate large numbers of mail order brides offer free entry visas to visitors from most Western countries.
That means if you are going to Odessa, Ukraine you simply fly their and give your passport to a sleepy young guard who will stamp it and wave you along.
The same thing happens in the Philippines, Thailand, and other countries. It is very relaxed.
The one notable exception is Russia. Getting a Russian visa is a huge hassle. It is going to cost you at least $300 and probably take several weeks.
Plus, Russian passport control has reverted to something straight out of a John le Carré novel with pushy guards and lots of machinegun-toting border police everywhere.
So, for most guys, Russia is simply off the radar.
The biggest bureaucratic expense occurs if you actually decide to marry a mail order bride and bring her back to your home country.
For a United States citizen, the experts at RapidVisa believe that…
…the typical case can range from about $1,200 to $5,000 including government fees, medical exam, assistance and miscellaneous.Rapid Visa
So, that is pretty steep, but you also have the choice to marry the woman in her home country and then bring her back to the United States.
That is a little less expensive, but of course, either of these approaches only really gets expensive when you have to hire an immigration attorney.
An immigration attorney is going to start at about $300 an hour and go up, up, up.
That's where you can spend $100k before you know what happened, but that is extraordinarily rare and generally will only apply to men who have other criminal problems and lie to the State Department.
Never lie to the State Department; yes, being in violation of some rule might cost you a little time and money, but if they catch you in a lie it can make the price of a mail order bride expensive.
Assimilation Costs
The last cost that guys often overlook is the cost of assimilating your mail order bride into your community.
For instance, do you have a car for your new wife? In most of the United States, she is going to need a car and a cell phone. (If you think your wife does not need a cell phone and a car, please leave this page and go back in your cave.)
You should let your wife have some real input into the decoration of your place.
This is important!
Think about the situation for a moment. This beautiful young woman trusted you with her life.
She came halfway around the world to a country that does not speak her native language because despite what her friends and parents might have told her she believes you are a pretty amazing guy.
Now, you need to show her that she is the most important thing in the world to you and one of the easiest ways to do it is to do a little redecorating of your house.
You should be happy to buy some new furniture or do a little remodeling to make her really feel it is her house too.
In the long run, this can be the best money you have ever spent on sticks and bricks and honestly do you really need to keep that flea-bitten moose head your granddad shot in 1939 over the kitchen table?
And if you don't have a moose head you probably have high school football trophies, Star Wars posters, or pictures of your ex-wife up that really need to go.
This is a great project for the two of you, because she probably cannot work for the first year or so she is in the country.
No matter how well educated and professionally successful your new wife is she is probably not going to be able to work for at least a year.
Some of this is because she is probably going to need to work on her English, but also most professionals will need to be re-certified in their new country.
So, you need to be totally ready to completely support her for at least a year and you need to keep her busy. Taking a few extra vacations can be nice too. Show her what you love about your city or state.
There are some education costs. For instance, you might need to pay for English lessons even if her English was good enough for you during the courting process. Driving lessons are another expense for a lot of mail order brides.
Also, you will probably end up buying her clothes. More than likely she will either be living in a significantly hotter or colder climate and will need clothes to match.
And more than likely you are going to want to buy your sexy mail order bride a lot of cute clothes.
The point is you want to help her assimilate and be happy. It is a struggle and oddly there is not a lot of helpful information about this subject, but the website MultlingualLiving.com is a great source on these issues.
You should give it a read before you bring your mail order bride home. It will probably save you money and it will certainly save you a lot of hassles.
All of these expenses add up, so let's try to dig into the average cost of a mail order bride from a different angle.
Average Cost of a Mail Order Bride
Determining the average cost of a mail order bride is difficult, but here we are going to consider the costs for an American man who is not willing to fly the worst airlines, stay in abysmal hotels, or eat SPAM the whole trip.
But we also assume he is not going to stay at five-star hotels, fly first class, or eat Kobe beef and caviar the entire trip.
For a normal guy the minimum costs required to find and marry a foreign lady are probably around $5000 if you quickly meet the woman of your dreams and bring her over to your country without multiple trips to visit her first.
You could do it for even less if you fly her straight to your country without a visit to meet her first, perhaps as low as $1200. This is a half-crazy approach, but every year there are couples who pull it off.
However, if you are that stressed over money you probably should not be considering a mail order bride.
But those numbers would be hard to pull off – not impossible – just a steep challenge.
Realistically, the REAL cost of pursuing a mail order bride is somewhere between $15,000 and $30,000.
Those are very realistic numbers, but you don't have to pay that all at once.
You just need to be able to budget that amount over the time of your search and most men probably spend from nine months to two years or so on their romantic quests.
One additional cost that you need to remember is the ongoing expenses related to having an extra person in your household and because she is from overseas those expenses are probably going to be higher.
She is probably not going to bring a gigantic wardrobe, so that first year she is going to buy a lot of new clothes.
The same sort of process applies to a lot of other things.
You might end up buying some new furniture, kitchen utensils, or curtains that you would have bought if you had remained a bachelor. Just keep this in mind.
Eventually, perhaps your new wife will get a job and help out with expenses, but you should probably plan to spend the same amount of time and money on the acclimation process as you did on the romance.
So, if it took you a year and $18,000 then you should assume it will take about the same amount of time and money for you and her to fully integrate into a working family.
Cheapest Mail Order Brides
In the old days, it would have been downright crazy to bring some woman you have never met straight home to live with you without so much as laying eyes on her, but today if you met her on one of the dating agencies with good video chat services.
This is particularly true in Eastern Europe where almost all women have good high-speed internet available, but taking this approach is not recommended.
You need to meet the woman in person before you really fall in love. The technology is great but it cannot take the place of the romance of a face to face meeting.
Finding a mail order bride is about romance and that requires communication, communication about the deepest and most emotional thought. You and your lady have to develop a mutual understanding of goals, hopes, and dreams.
With video chat you can hear the voice of the woman you are interested in and look into her eyes and see her reactions. It really helps to communicate a lot of those esoteric, emotional issues that you both have to communicate.
AnastasiaDate has done a particularly good job in providing their clients with a range of communication tools, but high definition video chat is still video chat. It is more expensive, but it might cut down on the number of times you needed to travel to go see a lady.
Still, it is easy to spend $500 communicating with a woman you are interested in and possible to spend much more. Guessing averages is difficult, but most men probably spend at least $1,000 to $1,500 on the communication stage of the romance.
Then it is always best to meet a woman you are considering marrying in her home country.
You can try to do all of the planning on your own. In that case the airfare is probably going to be at least $1,500 for each trip you make, plus another perhaps another $1,500 to spend a week in Ukraine, Thailand, Brazil, or wherever, but of course you can spend a great deal more.
Some agencies offer individual help, but the most popular approach is probably to take a romance tour.
These tours are popular because you can personally meet several ladies you have already contacted online and also meet other women.
Loveme.com is the industry leader they do several dozen tours every year and the costs vary widely depending on where you are going and how long you are going to stay.
The best thing about the tours is that the tour companies have an infrastructure in place to help you in each country. They provide trustworthy translators and other help you will need.
Plus, they can really give you helpful personal advice to make it easier to overcome the cultural issues and get the insight you need to make the right decision for you and the lady you are considering marrying.
If things go well and a ceremony will be performed, it is necessary to file a K1 Visa. The fee for this is $450, but $250 is usually needed to pay for translation of the documents.
The main thing is to follow the proper procedures, because if you ended up needing an immigration attorney to correct problems, mistakes, or omissions the price can shoot through the roof in a hurry.
A good immigration attorney can charge $500 an hour and billable hours tend to accrue in a hurry.
Consider A Romance Tour
For most guys visiting our site mail order brides are a totally new concept that they know little or nothing about.
So, they tend to spend a little here and a little there investigating different agencies, different parts of the world, and communicating with different women to educate themselves.
Initially, these "educational" expenses are small, but over time it can grow to be a significant amount of money.
However, as soon as you sign up for a romance tour your educational expenses are capped and all of your money is going towards actually meeting one of these beautiful women in person.
Our favorite romance tour company is A Foreign Affair. They are the oldest international dating site and their tours get absolutely rave reviews. Check out this video and you will understand:
If that looks pretty great you can learn more on their Romance Tour Page. Also, click around and look at some of the women profiled. Besides the public photos most ladies have private photos you can see for free if you go ahead and register which takes less than a minute.
BUT, if you spend enough time looking at photos and videos of these super-hot women from Odessa, Bogotá a, or Bangkok you will want to go visit them! Don't say I did not warn you.
So, instead, why not use the money that you would spend to communicate with these beautiful young women to visit them in person?
A Foreign Affair gives a deep discount on communications for men who sign up for a romance tour. This can easily save you $1000 compared to other sites, but there are men that spend a whole lot more than that communicating with women before they visit.
Some slow moving guys communicate for years, spending enough money for two or three romance tours, before they ever meet a mail order bride in person.
That may seem crazy, but it is surprisingly fun to communicate with these ladies and when there is no pressure a lot of guys do not feel a sense of urgency to immediately take the trip and visit.
A romance tour starts on a given date and for some guys that deadline really helps speed up the process because you are not just communicating with the idea that "one day" you will visit.
You know that the tour starts on a given date and once you have paid you are going to be there – no ands ifs or buts.
You will really save on your food, hotel, and in-country travel if you take a romance tour instead of traveling on your own.
Again, this can add up in a hurry. A fair number is that you will probably save at least $100 a day on a tour as opposed to traveling own your own.
So, on a two-week tour you can save another $1400.
If you need a translator and driver for private dates the tour companies will help you get qualified professionals at a much lower rate than you will be able to get on your own. If you do four individual dates over two weeks that is another $200.
So, from a strictly financial point of view it is hard to beat A Foreign Affair's romance tours, but, more importantly, these tours get rave reviews.
You have to go through a read them for yourselves. If that does not convince you they will actually give you the phone numbers of previous customers who will happily provide personal testimonials.
Wow! I do not know of another company in any industry that makes that offer, but that is why AFA is the best.
So, that is my first suggestion to save money. Just take an A Foreign Affair romance tour. Then you know exactly what you are spending at least to get to the point of actually meeting the woman.
If you still want to do it yourself the costs are harder to figure in advance.
Final Analysis
Is it worth it for you to consider a mail order bride?
That depends on your situation. Do you have the basic financial resources? Are you flexible enough to meet a woman, probably a younger woman, from a different culture and build a deep lasting relationship?
It does require work. You have to learn about one another's strengths and weaknesses. You have to get at least some idea of the woman's habits and personal deportment.
Most importantly, you have to come to a general agreement about the nature of your relationship, so you both have similar expectations.
Those are all tough enough to communicate in person, but they are especially difficult to communicate over vast distances to someone you have never met who probably speaks a different language and grew up in a different culture.
But statistics show that ever year, thousands of mail order brides come to this country. Over three-quarters of these marriages end happily and are long-lasting.
If you end up happily married then the price of a mail order bride is a bargain. Think about the price of mail order brides like this, it is simply a matter of keeping up with changing times.

A three-week pilot scheme to support people into the work place has been hailed a success by Conwy's Cabinet Member for Education and Skills.
The Council's Communities for Work Plus (C4W+) team ran the 3-week course, in partnership with Groundwork North Wales and Wynne Construction.
Project Manager, Libby Duo, said "Groundworks North Wales have successfully run similar courses in the region and we were keen to pilot this in Conwy. And Wynne Construction were top of our list so that we could make the most of current Council construction projects; Wynne Construction is the main contractor on the Conwy Culture Centre, which is currently under construction."
Nine young men from across the county signed up for the course, some of whom had experienced a number of barriers to employment and personal issues.
All nine completed the course and achieved their CSCS Green Operative Card Test, and each received four qualifications: First Aid at Work; IOSHH Managing Safely; Manual Handling; and COSHH.
Cllr Garffild Lewis, Conwy's Cabinet Member, presented the certificates at the end of the course. He said, "This is a remarkable achievement for everyone involved - to have full attendance and 100% success is extraordinary. I'd like to congratulate all the participants and I wish them well as they start on the next step of their working lives."
In the New Year, Wynne Construction intend to find placements for some of the participants and Groundwork North Wales are in discussion with other local contractors to support the rest. C4W+ will provide ongoing support with CVs, job applications and interview skills with the aim of ensuring they go into work.

'A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart' – Unknown
It was Teacher's day on 5th September. As the whole world reached out to the teachers, coaches and guides who helped them navigate through the vagaries of life, I could not help reminisce about my first 'coaching' interaction as a young student.
I was in the 12th grade, and in the midst of studying for the most 'important exam' of my life. My performance would decide if I would get a seat in an Engineering college (we did not have many options then) and the pressure had been building on me. My father, who was a disciplinarian, was not really helpful in easing my stress. In his goodwill and caring attitude, he had been pushing me consistently to outperform myself.
I had just received my mid exam marks and had scored below expectation in mathematics, a subject I feared.
Returning from school, I sat down at my table, in a pensive state. The fear rising up in me as my mind seemed to feel hopeless against the 'mountain of work' confronting me.
I noticed that my mother had entered the room and was sitting next to me. As she rested her hand on my arm, I looked at her and could sense that she understood my pain.
I started talking, and she was listening to me, nodding her head…. Unlike her usual self, being busy in the kitchen or running errands, she seemed to have all the time in the world.
She started asking me about my study plan, the subjects, daily routine and how I could possibly make changes for the better.
We drilled down to what I could do in the next few days, and slowly, things seemed easier and manageable.
As I started writing down the new plan, she slipped out to get me a cup of tea.
As she put the cup down, she looked at the plan, smiled and said.."You are doing very well…. This is a great plan, and it will work for you.. I will work with you to ensure we follow it"…before hurrying back to her pending errands.
Though the size of the challenge did not diminish, that short 'coaching' session is like an 'oasis in a desert' clearly etched in my memory….
My mother had not heard of 'Coaching' but she demonstrated some powerful elements of coaching to help me tide through the situation:
- Empathy: There was a strong sense of understanding my pain, which helped me open up about my problem and what was going wrong. It was not a 'you have messed it and now let's clean up' but more of 'we are equals, and this could happen to anyone'..
- Listening: She was listening and not reacting with any opinion or judgement. Only a nodding of the head, encouraging me to share my inner thoughts.
- Exploring: There was no advice or counselling. She explored the situation and asked me how I could do it better. The message I received was that I have the capability to resolve the situation, and should think through it.
- Faith in my capability to win: I sensed a strong, unwavering faith in my abilities, as she quietly showed me what I had done right and what I was capable of doing.
- Action for success: Slowly, she helped me focus on what I had to do NOW to move in the forward direction and shift my mind from the 'gargantuan' task I was imagining.
All of us would have experienced such situations in our past, when someone, who may not be professionally qualified, reached out to us and supported us in difficult moments. These are our close relatives/friends or acquaintances who transform into 'teachers' for that specific time to guide us.
I also believe that these interactions create the 'magic' because of two underlying reasons……A strong empathy with the 'coachee' and a deep desire to transform his life.
This noble intent guides the 'coach' intuitively towards success.
As we grow and learn to deal with life and face challenges, these 'guiding hands' come along in the guise of different people to support us, open our minds, inspire us and help us build strength of character.
These 'turning points' are like emotional anchors guiding us even after decades have passed and our hearts silently salute these 'teachers' who made our life meaningful and fulfilling.
Comments are welcome !

There are not a lot of things I really hate in this World.
Camping is on top of that list, of course. Shut up, camping is a "thing". I hate it.
Most mornings, I walk through a Shopping Mall to get to work. The whole thing lasts maybe 2-3 minutes (that's what she said), and is always a dreadful experience (that's… well you get it.).
Anyways. I have this thing. I hate walking in a crowd. A crowd of uncoordinated morons, half asleep because they didn't have their morning caffeine yet, randomly zig-zagging, stopping, turning, backing up…
Don't get me wrong, I'm not the fastest walker ever. I don't even like walking that much. But I know how to walk in a straight line. I learned the value of being predictable when I walk with / around other people. I know that because I constantly check. For example, this always happens to me:
If I walk with another person to go grab lunch, a coffee, get a new car, the other person will always end up making me go off the sidewalk, brush a wall, etc. I know it's not me, because once the person is actually touching my shoulder, I'll change side this will happen:
So regardless of the side I walk on, I always manage to attract the other person. I did the math*, even my near 300-pound gorilla body should not exert that much gravitational pull on another human being. You can imagine what happens when I try to walk in a crowd of people coming and going, half asleep, not paying attention to what they're doing and their surroundings.
I bump into a lot of people.
Let me rephrase that.
I use to bump into a lot of people. Now I tackle a lot of people. I'm not saying I dive in their knees or clothesline them – did I ever mentioned I used to play football? – but I'm like an anvil wrapped in a thick cushy fat layer. If you brush against me you'll be fine, but if you hit me head-on and manage to reach the hard core – hahaha like there's one! – it's like hitting a padded cell wall. It may be padded, but it's still a wall.
Especially nowadays, since I'm completely fed-up with trying to avoid all the idiots walking through the Mall, so I won't make any kind of effort to get out of your way. This was seriously getting ridiculous, you should've seen me looking like a monkey on crack dodging, weaving, side-stepping people. that 3 minute walk through the mall was kinda like a 90 minute workout. It's like I was the Prince of Persia, I swear.
If you're texting and walking at the same time? Odds are you will hit me because I won't move. You're looking to your right and moving to your left? You'll hit me. By the way, you'll be surprised how many people actually do that, moving in a direction they don't look. You stop dead at the top of the escalator? I'll walk through you. You suddenly stop for no reason? I'll plow in your back.
Anyways, I was walking through the Mall the other afternoon, thinking about this post. How was I going to do the line graphics, would I look for a Mall floor plan, and mostly how was I going to find the perfect ending. Then I had this "You got to be shittin' me!" moment, the perfect ending offered on a silver platter. You will never guess what I saw, walking towards me on a perfect collision course.
A Fucking Juggler.
I kid you not. A guy was actually walking through the crowd – while juggling balls. I was too dumbfounded to take a picture, but I swear I'm not making that up. I of course started to giggle like a fool, imagining how things like that only happen to me, and how absolutely no one would ever believe me.
I didn't even help him pick up his balls.
* Not really

"Business has had enough of endless discussion and debate about transport improvements. Employers want to see action now to ease congestion. Our figures show that failings on the transport system cost the economy £15bn each year. Business understands that road pricing will have a role to play if the much needed improvements in our transport system are to be made."
"Road pricing is only a part of the solution and is not a blank cheque for the Government. The Treasury already collects £42.2bn in road tax, of which a mere £1.6bn is spent on motorways and trunk roads. The Government must implement a comprehensive programme to increase road capacity through widening existing roads and building new capacity."

Cheap Battery Change | Plano, TX
Our dealership uses only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended parts. It's possible to buy an aftermarket battery, but you have to be careful to choose the right battery for your vehicle. Even if you choose the right aftermarket battery, there is no guarantee of the quality of the battery. With OEM parts, you always know that you're getting a high-quality part. Aftermarket parts are made by various manufacturers, and it's not always possible to tell if it's as good as the OEM part. Sometimes batteries can go bad. The best way to know for sure is to have it checked out by a trained technician.
Battery Replacement Help | Acura Battery Change
The battery is the component in a vehicle that people rarely think about, but when it stops working it literally stops all forward motion. A dead battery can leave you stranded, and it can cost you additional money if you need to tow your vehicle. Getting your battery tested and replaced if necessary can save you a substantial amount of time and money. Don't wait for your battery to die to get it replaced, since a dead battery also erases the onboard computer for the vehicle. Resetting the computer requires a trip to your mechanic.

Peer Review Process
All papers submitted to Belitung Nursing Journal undergo double blind and external peer review. In the double-blind review process neither the reviewers nor the authors know the identity of each author. This enables unbiased and accurate review of the manuscript. In all cases, reviewers will be asked to declare any conflict of interest based on the contents of the manuscript.
After a manuscript is submitted, it is reviewed by a receiving editor of the Editorial Board. If the manuscript passes the first editorial review, it is sent to external reviewers for double-blind peer review.
If the reviewer accepts the offer to review the manuscript, they will be sent the complete manuscript and a Manuscript Review Form. In all cases, reviewers will be asked to declare any conflict of interest based on the contents of the manuscript. If a conflict of interest exists, the reviewers are requested to decline to review the manuscript.
Please provide an objective critical assessment of the manuscript about the concept of the study, relevance in relation to current scientific knowledge, scientific content, language, and grammar. You will be asked to make a recommendation for publishing the manuscript. Please provide reasons for your recommendations.
If you believe that the manuscript needs changes for improvement before it is accepted for publication, please make the suggestions on how to improve it. If the comments are negative please help the authors in improving their manuscript by explaining weaknesses in scientific content or language. Any offensive language in the comments cannot be tolerated.
Based on the reviewer's comments the assigned editor will take a decision about the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. The editor may decide to: 1) accept the manuscript without revisions, 2) invite authors to resubmit the manuscript after minor or major revisions while the final decision is kept pending, or 3) reject the manuscript.
Publication Frequency
BNJ publishes one volume per year with six issues per volume. It is on February, April, June, August, October, and December.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement
Our publication ethics and publication malpractice statement is mainly based on the Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics, 2011).
The Editor-in-chief sets the content's tone and editorial direction while also maintaining internal policies for all publications. She acts as a quality control manager by making sure that every issue consistently follows established measures. She has budgeting, strategic planning and PR duties. Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor (in conjunction with the publisher and/or society) will take responsive measures when ethical concerns are raised with regard to a submitted manuscript or published paper. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior will be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication.
The managing editor is the front line supervisor who oversees the day-to-day operations of Belitung Nursing Journal. He normally reports to the editor-in-chief. The Managing Editor guides the development, policies, standards and editorial scope of Belitung Nursing Journal. The Managing Editor oversees the entire review, editing and publishing process. In the editorial process, the Managing Editor assigns Associate Editors to see through submission review and submission editing. The Managing Editor keeps an eye on the submission's progress and assists with any difficulties. Once review is completed, the Managing Editor typically sees the submission through the Editing process (including copyediting, layout editing, and proofreading). The Managing Editor also creates the journal issues, schedules submission for publication, arranges the Table of Contents, and publishes the issue as part of the publishing process. The Managing Editor can restore archived submissions to the active In Review or In Editing lists. Another portion of the managing editor's job involves hiring, training and supervising assistant and associate editors. The Managing Editor, with Associate Editors, are responsible for deciding which of the papers submitted to the journal will be published. The Managing Editor will evaluate manuscripts without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy. The decision will be based on the paper's importance, originality and clarity, and the study's validity and its relevance to the journal's scope. Current legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism should also be considered.
The Editorial Advisory Panel provides input to the in-house editorial team on matters of journal strategy.
The Associate Editor manages the review and editing of submissions to which they have been assigned. In some cases, an Associate Editor who is assigned to see submissions through the Review Process will also be responsible for seeing the submissions that are accepted through the Editing process (that is, through copyediting, layout editing, and proofreading). Often, however, Associate Editors only work with the review process, and Managing Editor, acting in the role of Associate Editor, sees the submissions through the Editing process.
All EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES
All editorial board members must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
All editorial board members will not use unpublished information disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research purposes without the authors' explicit written consent. Privileged information or ideas obtained by editors as a result of handling the manuscript will be kept confidential and not used for their personal advantage. Editors will recuse themselves from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships/connections with any of the authors, companies or institutions connected to the papers; instead, they will ask another member of the editorial board to handle the manuscript.
All board members act as ambassadors for the journal and assist the in-house editorial team in an advisory capacity as and when required.
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be disclosed to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Contribution to editorial decisions
The peer-reviewing process assists the editor and the editorial board in making editorial decisions and may also serve the author in improving the paper.
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should immediately notify the editors and decline the invitation to review so that alternative reviewers can be contacted.
Standards of objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively and observations formulated clearly with supporting arguments so that authors can use them for improving the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors is inappropriate.
Acknowledgement of sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that is an observation, derivation or argument that has been reported in previous publications should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also notify the editors of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and conflict of interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers.
Originality, plagiarism and acknowledgement of sources
Authors will submit only entirely original works, and will appropriately cite or quote the work and/or words of others. Publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work should also be cited.
Reporting standards
Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Data access and retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their study together with the manuscript for editorial review and should be prepared to make the data publicly available if practicable. In any event, authors should ensure accessibility of such data to other competent professionals for at least 10 years after publication (preferably via an institutional or subject-based data repository or other data centre), provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and legal rights concerning proprietary data do not preclude their release.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication
In general, papers describing essentially the same research should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Hence, authors should not submit for consideration a manuscript that has already been published in another journal. Submission of a manuscript concurrently to more than one journal is unethical publishing behaviour and unacceptable. The publication of some kinds of articles (such as clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal is sometimes justifiable, provided that certain conditions are met. The authors and editors of the journals concerned must agree to the secondary publication, which must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. The primary reference must be cited in the secondary publication.
Authorship of the manuscript
Only persons who meet these authorship criteria should be listed as authors in the manuscript as they must be able to take public responsibility for the content: (i) made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, data acquisition, or analysis/interpretation of the study; and (ii) drafted the manuscript or revised it critically for important intellectual content; and (iii) have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission for publication. All persons who made substantial contributions to the work reported in the manuscript (such as technical help, writing and editing assistance, general support) but who do not meet the criteria for authorship must not be listed as an author, but should be acknowledged in the "Acknowledgements" section after their written permission to be named as been obtained. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate coauthors (according to the above definition) and no inappropriate coauthors are included in the author list and verify that all coauthors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission for publication.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
All authors should include a statement disclosing any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and to cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper in form of an erratum.
Hazards and human or animal subjects
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the authors must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animals or human participants, the authors should ensure that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them; the manuscript should contain a statement to this effect. Authors should also include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human participants. The privacy rights of human participants must always be observed.
Peer review
Authors are obliged to participate in the peer review process and cooperate fully by responding promptly to editors' requests for raw data, clarifications, and proof of ethics approval, patient consents and copyright permissions. In the case of a first decision of "revisions required", authors should respond to the reviewers' comments systematically, point by point, and in a timely manner, revising and re-submitting their manuscript to the journal by the deadline given.
Handling of unethical publishing behaviour
In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication or plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and to amend the article in question. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum, clarification or, in the most severe case, the retraction of the affected work. The publisher, together with the editors, shall take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, and under no circumstances encourage such misconduct or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place.
Access to journal content
The publisher is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of scholarly research and ensures accessibility by partnering with organizations and maintaining our own digital archive.
The Journal Manager is responsible for all production-related matters and ensures articles are typeset, corrected, and published in a timely fashion, as well as provides you with support throughout the production process. The Journal Manager also enrolls the Editors, Associate Editors, Copyeditors, Layout Editors, Proofreaders, Authors, and Reviewers. He also has access to the journal's other management features, and can create new sections for the journal, set up review forms, edit the default emails, manage the reading tools, view statistics and reports.
The Technical Manager is responsible for setting up the journal web site, configuring the system options, and managing the user accounts. This does not involve any advanced technical skills, but entails filling out web-based forms and uploading files.

Special Issue
Belitung Nursing Journal (BNJ) welcome special issues proposals on themes that fall within the scope of the journal. All proposals should be sent to email@example.com
As BNJ is normally only able to publish two special issues per year, the editor will seek to identify thematic proposals of the highest quality for publication by the following competitive process. Past topics covered will be discouraged. Topics that have comparative area studies appeal are encouraged. There are two deadlines each year for submission of special issue proposals: end-April and end-October.
All proposals should be at least three pages containing the following information: title; purpose; scope; a list of prospective contributors; time-table (submission and review deadlines); and guest editor(s) address, phone, fax, and email address. Once approved, the guest editor(s) will be fully responsible for the special issue and should follow BNJ formal review.
Special issues should offer an authoritative review of current thinking and debates in nursing area and provide pointers to future trends and challenges. A list of potential contributors should accompany the proposal.
The role of the Guest Editor(s):
- Sets out the importance of the theme that the special issue will focus on;
- Explains the anticipated contribution of the special issue in advancing nursing;
- Identifies papers and authors for possible inclusion in the special issue, with a brief description of each paper. (These papers do not need to have been written at this time, although our assumption is that most will be based on work already in progress);
- Where a given author(s) has published extensively on a subject already, it is necessary to indicate the new contribution to be made by the proposed paper;
- Indicates the schedule in which the special issue could be produced (paper writing, reviewing, submission of final copy) assuming the proposal is accepted.
A special issue should be a maximum of 25 papers (250 pages including abstract, appendices, tables etc).
Proposals for special issues should include more possible papers than can be included in the eventual issue. This is so that the refereeing process can select the best 25 papers for final inclusion in the issue. If more papers are accepted through the review process than can be accommodated in a special issue, they will be considered for possible publication in later regular issues of the journal.
Once the Editor has in principle accepted a proposal, it is the responsibility of the Guest Editor(s) to deliver the submissions to the journal within the agreed schedule and to organize a double-blind reviewing process for all papers submitted for inclusion so as to:
• Identify those papers to be finally included.
• Strengthen these papers, so as to ensure the highest possible standards.
All papers for special issues must meet the normal refereeing standards. The Guest Editor(s) will be requested to provide two names for qualified referees for each paper.
The Editor will suggest additional reviewers to facilitate the evaluation process. All papers must conform to the style requirements of BNJ before submission.
Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTA) for Abstracts
The rules regarding abstracts are as follows:
- We do not require a signed Agreement to publish abstracts of material submitted for poster sessions and presentations at conferences or meetings. The right to publish such material is presumed.
- If you have written an abstract of a previously published article for publication in another journal or conference abstracts' book, we do require you to sign an Agreement

Editorial Process
A manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that it is being submitted to Belitung Nursing Journal alone at that point in time and has not been published anywhere, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere.
The journal expects that authors would authorize one of them to correspond with the Journal for all matters related to the manuscript. All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. On submission, receiving editors review all submitted manuscripts initially for suitability for formal review. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific or technical flaws, or lack of a significant message are rejected before proceeding for formal peer-review. Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the Belitung Nursing Journal readers are also liable to be rejected at this stage itself.
Manuscripts that are found suitable for publication in Belitung Nursing Journal are sent to two or more expert reviewers. The journal follows a double-blind review process, wherein the reviewers and authors are unaware of each other identity. Every manuscript is also assigned to a member of the editorial team, who based on the comments from the reviewers, takes a final decision on the manuscript. The comments and suggestions (acceptance/ rejection) received from reviewers are conveyed to the corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a point by point response to reviewers comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript. This process is repeated till reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.
Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy edited for punctuation, print style, and format (not for grammar). The authors are responsible for English grammar check of their manuscript. The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs within three or seven days. Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs within three days. It may not be possible to incorporate corrections received after that period. The whole process of submission of the manuscript to final decision and sending and receiving proofs is completed online.
Article Correction, Retraction, and Withdrawal Policy
BNJ operates the following policy for making corrections to the print and online versions of their peer-reviewed content.
Publishable amendments that affect the publication record and/or the scientific accuracy of published information receive a DOI and are published in print and online in the journal. Four categories of amendments are relevant for peer-reviewed material: Erratum or Publisher Correction, Corrigendum or Author Correction, Retraction or Addendum. All four correction types are bi-directionally linked to the original published paper. Detailed information on each amendment category follows below.
Erratum or Publisher Correction
Notification of an important error made by the journal that affects the publication record or the scientific integrity of the paper, or the reputation of the authors or of the journal.
Corrigendum or Author Correction
Notification of an important error made by the author(s) that affects the publication record or the scientific integrity of the paper, or the reputation of the authors or the journal.
Notification of invalid results that affect the reliability of a previously published article. The original article is marked as retracted but remains available to readers, and the retraction statement notifying readers of the invalidity of the published paper is bi-directionally linked to the original published paper.
Notification of additional information about a paper. Addenda are published when the editors decide that the addendum is crucial to the reader's understanding of a significant part of the published contribution. Addenda include Editorial Expression of Concern, which is an editorial statement alerting our readership to serious concerns with the published paper. Editorial Expression of Concern are typically updated with another amendment once further information is available.
Editor's Note
An editor's note is a statement from editors notifying readers of issues related to the published paper. It is an online update made only to the HTML version of record of the published article. Editor's notes are typically updated with another amendment once further information is available.
Withdrawal Policy
Some authors request withdrawal of manuscript from the publication process after submission. Withdrawing manuscripts from publication wastes the valuable resources and tremendous amount of effort made in processing the manuscripts by the editors, reviewers and the editorial staff.
Submission of an article to BNJ implies that the work has NOT been published or submitted elsewhere; therefore, the journal is strongly against unethical withdrawal of an article from the publication process after submission. Once the article is submitted, the author grants the editorial board full publishing rights and it is the absolute right of the editorial board to decide on article withdrawals.
For genuine withdrawal, the corresponding author should submit a request which must be signed by all co-authors explaining the reason of withdrawing the manuscript. The request will be processed by the editorial board and only serious genuine reasons will be considered if possible. The decision of the editorial board will be final and not negotiable. If an author requests a withdrawal within 3 days of submission, the author is allowed to withdraw the manuscript without paying any withdrawal fee; however, if the author withdraws the manuscript any time after review and acceptance, a withdrawal fee of $40 will have to be paid.

southern africa / the left / opinion / analysis Saturday July 21, 2018 05:45 by Warren McGregor 2 comments (last - tuesday february 05, 2019 23:41) 1 image
A call for socialist Left unity is heard widely today in South Africa, but is usually taken as a call for unity of praxis (unity in theoretical programme and action). This is sometimes framed as transcending old divides (these seen as outdated, divisive or dismissed as dogmatic), and sometimes as unity in order to have action (rhetorically set up as the opposite of arm chair theory).

Four Tet continues to be awesome, shares hour-long mix
The ever prolific Four Tet strikes again.
Four Tet's been super generous lately (what with all those unreleased demos and remixes up for free download on Sendspace and free streams of his '90s material on Bandcamp) and he's not quitting now - he just released an hour-long mix of previously unreleased jams for your listening / rave DJ-ing pleasure. It's a great mix, spanning many of the different vibes Four Tet's explored during his lengthy career, and it's probably the perfect soundtrack for whatever you're planning on doing today - check it out.

From the practical point of view, this paper refers to an educational software developed as a technological tool for understanding the logic circuits operation. Using such an interactive designer software, we have the main advantage and the opportunity of removing all the possible design errors even before proceeding to the expensive component manufacturing and assembly. From the educational point of view, our application, Logic Circuit Designer, is aimed to help both those students and users, studying computer architecture or more specifically, digital logic circuits. This product is a simulator for logic circuits, allowing the student to better visualize and understand how a logic circuit works, by enabling him to build whatever logic circuit he wants, and visually simulate its operation. Based on a friendly user interface, the student can interact with its logic circuit, flip switches, change the input data, and watch the output data changes for sequential models. We are sure that this tool will be of great help to any student who has interest in this field, and enable him to better understand the logic circuit design process.

For years we have read about people being awarded the prestigious "Nobel Prize". These awards were named after the Swedish Scientist "Alfred Nobel". The event for distributing the Peace Prize is held in Oslo Norway, and for Physics, Chemistry and Literature the award ceremony is held in Stockholm, Sweden.These very popular Nobel Prizes, are awarded to people who have made a notable contribution in the field of Science and Literature.
Let's for a moment shift our focus to another set of awards, which are equally crucial and amusing, to say the very least. Give way to the yearly Ig Nobel Prize! For all those of us who are unaware, these awards are more or less a parody of the novel Nobel Prize. Held every year during the autumn, these awards celebrate the lesser known, ludicrous achievements in scientific research.
The idea was first incepted and carried out in 1991 by Marc Abrahams, the co- editor of the magazine Annals of Improbable Research. The name of these awards is basically a pun on the word "ignoble", and are awarded to those researches which are absurd or amusing. Unlike the mundane and formal award functions, the Ig Nobel Prize is filled with surprises and a number of comic elements. Since 1996, the ceremony has also included mini operas, for which the libretto (text for an Opera) have been written by Marc himself. If any speaker starts with an exceptionally long speech, an adorable 8 year old girl walks up to the podium and loudly repeats, "Please stop. I'm bored" till the speaker doesn't wind up. The ceremony always closes with the words, "If you didn't win a prize- and especially if you did- better luck next year!"
The Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is broadcasted on National Public Radio and is shown live on the internet as well.
The Ig Nobel Prize honors achievements which make people laugh first, and then think. Many may think that they are to ridicule the field of science, however the truth is that every achievement in the world of science was once funny or even absurd. Ever since its inception and reach, many researchers from India have also been honored at this prize.
We bring to you a round up of some of the most ludicrous researchers that won, and we did not shy away from bringing in all the ones from India.
There are many more people who have been given this prize, and they have accepted it with all grace and dignity. Life is definitely very short and one can't be serious all the time. So with a pinch of humor and fun, the Ig Nobel Prize has become a trendsetter, where the only qualifying criteria is to make people laugh so hard that they are forced to think!

Health Care — Kevin DiLallo, CEO, Manatee Healthcare System, Bradenton
Company: Kevin DiLallo says there are "some great growth opportunities here at the hospital." Manatee Memorial, for one, will open its new emergency department in mid-December. The new 50,000-square-foot, 48-room facility will double the size of the hospital's emergency department.
In 2019, the hospital also will work on its comprehensive stroke center. Manatee Memorial is an accredited stroke center now, but in January it will become comprehensive and able to do different procedures. The transition involves an investment in equipment and new talent. DiLallo says the hospital also plans to continue to grow its structural heart program with new procedures and clinical trials.
Industry: The health care industry will see big changes in technology in 2019, says DiLallo. He also says the fight over the Affordable Care Act will continue in the year ahead, with several states battling over health care coverage for residents.
Individual hospitals nationwide will implement changes of their own. DiLallo says, "There's a tremendous push in the industry from volume to value."
At Manatee Memorial, for example, employees constantly examine metrics and procedures. They look at areas such as how to reduce patients' length of stay and increasing patient safety.
The industry will aim to improve, he says, in terms of cost-effectiveness and care quality. "We're always checking ourselves in health care to see what we can do better," DiLallo says.
Threats: DiLallo's worries center on the physician and nursing shortage. One of the hospital's strategies is to work with local schools to bring in new talent. "Staff means everything to us," he says. "We want to make sure we get the right people on board."
Manatee Memorial's biggest challenge, DiLallo says, is to provide service to the community and work with state and local agencies to get reimbursement for those services.
Overall, with the community and hospital growing, DiLallo sees positive days ahead. "I think we have a tremendous growth opportunity," he says. "I'm really looking forward to 2019."

"What?" he exclaimed, his hand stopping on the detective's ass, finally his thoughts catching up with him and making him put the pieces of the puzzle together.
"You've never...?" he asked flabbergasted.
What were they doing?
Sherlock was a virgin?
He couldn't possibly do it like this!
Sherlock was under the influence of drugs and he was angry and frustrated, this was not how it was supposed to go at all!
And why was Sherlock even doing this?
How could he want him if he had never wanted anyone before?
No, there had to be a catch.
"You mean... with a man?" he asked, blinking.
