So another year has come and gone, and the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has finished yet again, leaving us with a whole host of new information.
Though E3 2019 might have been lacking some punch, that doesn't mean that there aren't things to get excited about. This year we'll cover the new console announcements and 4 indie titles to watch out for.
The Consoles
[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="Project Scarlett"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
As mentioned above, Microsoft announced its new console at their E3 conference, and they gave us quite a few details to get gamers excited.
Though they didn't give precise details, they let us know that the new hardware will be built by AMD, and will include their new NAVI graphics architecture and a Zen 2 CPU. They're hoping that all of this will decrease load times and that it'll be around four times more powerful than the current console generation.
They also promised 120 FPS, 8K and ray tracing (an advanced lighting technique, commonly used in Hollywood). Whilst that might not sound too exciting for any PC enthusiasts, we've got some fantastic performances out of this generation, and there's no reason to believe that they can't do even more with Project Scarlett.
There was a small mention that you'd be able to play any game from the four generations of Xbox on the new console, but the thing that would've excited Xbox fans the most was the announcement that Halo Infinite will be launching alongside it. You can see the trailer for the below.
Project Scarlett has been given a release date of late 2020.

[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="PlayStation 5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Sony hasn't yet confirmed what its new console will be titled, but at the moment everyone seems to be running with PlayStation 5 as to keep with previous titles.
Announced a few weeks before E3, we have a fair amount of information on Sony's next generation.
Sony will be using a bespoke 8-core AMD chipset based on Ryzen architecture, with a GPU based around the Radeon NAVI GPU family. It will also have a specialised SSD storage system, 3D audio and 8k TV support. Like Microsoft, the improvements to the GPU and CPU will allow for ray tracing.
They're promising a new 'gold standard' for audio on the PS5 too.
They've also confirmed backwards compatibility with PS4 games, PSVR hardware and the ability to play with PS4 users. There's a rumour that the PS5 will be able to run games from the PS1, PS2 and PS3 as well, much like Microsoft confirmed for Project Scarlett.
No date has been given for its launch, but it's unlikely to be before mid-2020. Unfortunately, there's no clue as to what the PS5 might look like or any new titles announced for its launch, but we imagine titles like Death Stranding will be there. You can view the newest trailer for Death Stranding below:

[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="Google Stadia"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Whilst not technically a console, Google is making big moves in an effort to disrupt the market. The Stadia will be a streaming service for games, and Google hopes it will move gamers away from the idea of having hardware in their homes, and instead prefer and opt for streaming.
Google is promising that through Stadia, you'll be able to play the latest titles through a Chrome tab, playing a game in 4K detail with 60 FPS, within 5 seconds, and no installation required. You'll be able to use Stadia with desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
They've also promised that the Stadia's computing power will be equivalent to a console running at 10.7 GPU terraflops; more than the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X combined, so that's a big statement.
It'll be launching in November 2019 within the USA, Canada and the UK. Prices will be around £8.99 a month for unlimited games. They've stated you'll need around 35Mbps to play with the full 4K/60 fps.
You can read a confirmed list of games here.
It's worth mentioning that if you have limited bandwidth, Stadia could easily eat that up. So keep an eye on it.
Possibly in response to Google's move, Microsoft and Sony have announced that they are starting a 'strategic partnership', which will allow Sony to provide a streaming service, by accessing Microsoft's infrastructure. Will it be enough to compete with Stadia? Time will tell.
You can watch the full conference on Stadia below:

[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="Honourable Mentions"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

- Atari VCS. The all-in bundle is $389.99 for pre-order.
- PC Engine Core Grafx. Prices range from $249.99 for the 4GB model and $389.99 for the 8GB model. Joysticks and controllers are sold separately at $49.99 and $59.99 respectively.

The Indie Titles
[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="Spiritfarer – Thunder Lotus Games"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Spiritfarer looks like it's going to be a beautiful indie game, with beautiful, clean hand-drawn like graphics. It appears that humans and animals live together on a ship, and as the game progresses, you'll be able to build and upgrade the ship.
Judging from the trailer, you'll have cat companion who follows you everywhere, and that you'll be able to mine; bake cakes; plant flowers/seeds; explore; sail and befriend various animals.
Right at the end of the trailer, it explains you'll need to learn how to say goodbye. In the trailer, a deer vanishes in a blinding light after this piece of information, and it looks like this game has potential to be a real tear-jerker.
Watch Thunder Lotus Game's adorable trailer below.
Release Date: 2020
Platforms: PS4, Xbox and PC
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnuEvePlxWI"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
[vc_row][vc_column][rs_section_title title="Sky: Children of the Light – Thatgamecompany"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Like Spiritfarer, Sky: CotL, looks to be incredibly stunning and the music gives it a touching, charming feel.
You play as a cute individual, powered by light and fire, and you'll explore a world made of fallen stars, attempting to find a way to get them back into the sky. As you progress through the game, you'll go through a variety of unique realms and lands, with some absolutely gorgeous looking flight portions. And this is a game that's meant to be played with others.
Thatgamecompany was behind Journey, a multiple award-winning game, so this is one to definitely keep your eye on.
Release Date: July 2019
Platforms: First on iOS, eventually targeting consoles, PC, Mac and Android

What is it with the indie games looking so lovely this year? Way to the Wood is a third-person adventure created by one man, Anthony Tan.
Way to the Woods is a survival adventure and features two deer (one an adult and the other a fawn), and details their long journey home after human civilization has collapsed.
Anthony states that he's heavily inspired by Miyazaki films, specifically Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, as well as the video game The Last of Us.
Release Date: 2020
Platforms: Xbox One and PC

Accountants are pushing for a two-year extension on law capping interest rate saying its full benefits are yet to be realised.
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) told Parliament the law on rate caps has instilled discipline in the economy in general.
"Our proposal is that the interest rates are capped for another two years to allow full realisation of their intended purpose," ICPAK public tax committee chairman Phillip Mwema told the National Assembly Finance committee during public hearings on the Finance Bill on Thursday.
Mr Mwema noted that the law capping interest rates has instilled discipline amongst borrowers, explaining a drop in auctioning incidents.
"The capping has protected naïve and ignorant borrowers from agreeing to loan terms that they would eventually default," he said.
The rate capping law championed by Kiambu MP Jude Njomo came as a relief in 2016 to many bank customers as it ended expensive loans.

Collected Works of Isaac Rosenberg: Poetry, Prose, Letters, Paintings and Drawings
Isaac Rosenberg's loss of life in motion virtually on the finish of the 1st international warfare disadvantaged English poetry and portray of 1 of this century's most unusual and proficient artists.
This definitive variation of his gathered Works comprises, in addition to all of the poems, prose items and letters released in 1937, a considerable variety of unpublished letters, a few hitherto unpublished poems and fragments of poems, including all very important version readings that take place within the unique manuscripts, of which thankfully an exceptional quantity live on. moreover there are notes determining, and in short documenting, modern personalities talked about within the letters, or linked to the poems. in addition to the writings, the 32 pages of color and monochrome plates, such a lot of them hitherto unpublished and scarcely any of them ever formerly reproduced in color, illustrate Rosenberg's awesome promise as painter and draughtsman.
The e-book of this revised and lots more and plenty multiplied version of Rosenberg's accumulated Works will, it's was hoping, ensure his attractiveness as a massive poet and an uncommonly proficient artist. acceptance of the expanding significance of his paintings to us, 60 years after his demise, is evidenced through the truth that not less than 3 severe biographies of him were released within the previous couple of years, whereas examples of his paintings are to be present in the Tate Gallery, the nationwide Portrait Gallery and the Imperial battle Museum.
Stoichita's compelling account untangles the background of 1 of the main enduring demanding situations to beset Western artwork - the depiction and meanings of shadows.
In what will be referred to as a meticulous dissection of Robert Louis Stevenson's "I Have a bit Shadow," Stoichita (history of paintings, Univ. of Fribourg, Switzerland) examines the creative and highbrow recommendations of the "dark spot" and in their results upon our view of fact. In exhaustive if no longer arduous aspect, he levels from Pliny to Plato, from Piaget to images, from wall portray to Warhol. Black is either the absence of sunshine and the entire shades of the rainbow; compared, the shadow comprises either the mirrored image of the picture and its crucial nature. except its philosophical terminology, it is a tough ebook; few sentences get away from parenthetical insertion, and one wonders even if it is a mirrored image of the unique or the imposition of the stylistic shadow of the translator. additionally, it's fabulous that the sort of scholarly publication should still lack an index. nonetheless, apparently what the shadow is aware, Stoichita is familiar with besides, and his paintings should be invaluable in educational and artwork libraries amassing for a graduate point.

If the lead is too hard it causes too much indentation into the paper and some difficulty in rubbing out when you've applied the ink. If it's too soft the paper gets mucky. I like propelling pencils because you don't have to sharpen them. The pencil work is essentially a guide for subsequent pen and ink overlay drawing. I have fixed the paper to a drawing board. It is very cold as I trudge across the fields. The sheep have had a special feed of hay and they are all huddled together with steam coming out of their nostrils.

Recently a Hindu priest was murdered at a temple in Bangladesh by three motorcyclists. The name of the priest is Shaymononda Das and he was preparing for the morning prayer when the trio attacked.
Bangladesh is the Muslim majority country of more than 16 million people. Since February 2013, such attacks against Hindus have increased in Bangladesh and around 40 people were killed in such incidents over these 3 years.
Most people assume that such attacks are the activities of Muslim extremists but the authorities say that they still don't have any ideas about the motive of these attacks.
"He was preparing morning prayers with flowers at the temple early in the morning and that time three young people came by a motorbike and killed him with machetes and fled away," Mahbubur Rahman, the chief of Jhenaidah district administration said.
Reports say the Hindu priest was brutally hacked several times on neck by the attackers who immediately flew away after killing him.
In the same district of Jhenaidah, Bangladesh, a 70Yr old Hindu priest was also hacked to death last month but for Shaymonanda Das's and that priest's death, the local police blames the local Islamic militants for such activities.

The marble floor is already an optical illusion and an enigma in itself, but the monastery library has so much more to offer – for example secret passages! However, the library's real protagonists are, of course, its 70,000 antiquarian books. Some of them are painted in white in order to make the space look even lighter. Most of the books are about theological literature or profane sciences, although many editions of the Bible can also be found. And, if all this wasn't enough, the collection of manuscripts will provide you with one or two aha-experiences.
The books are housed in an architectural masterpiece. Standing in front of it will make you feel both tiny and awestruck; the only sound that will cross your lips will be a silent whisper. The room was designed by the architect Josef Hueber and is inspired by the Imperial Court Library in Vienna. When it comes to brightness and a sense of space, however, he created something unprecedented. The seven frescoes were painted by Bartolomeo Altomonte and the room was decorated by the court artist Josef Stammel. His sculptures 'Four Last Things' examine death, resurrection, heaven and hell, and all merit special attention.

What comes to mind when you hear the words frugal living? Do you imagine someone living by candle light, with no TV or internet access, eating only canned beans never going out or having any fun? Or someone making themselves suffer just to save a few dollars every month?
That mental image of a frugal lifestyle is very common. However, it simply is not true. In fact, frugal living is not about depriving yourself from the things you truly love so that you can save a dollar or two. It is however about making smart decisions on how you spend and save your money. The goal is to be money smart so that you can live a life that you love without having to go into debt or work two jobs to just to stay afloat.
What Does A Frugal Lifestyle Look Like?
Simply put you are making an effort to be smarter when it comes to spending and saving. You are making a commitment to buying less and using what you have. You become more of a conscious consumer and in return are given the financial freedom that so many people only dream about.
Let's take a closer look…
Frugal living means you take the time to learn when the best time to buy a product is. Learning what the rock bottom price of a product should be, who is offering the best price and then be willing to wait for it. By learning and committing to doing these three things means you will be spending smarter and avoid paying the full price for things you want. Preplanning your purchases on things you need and then using coupon and rebates can save you even more money.
Stockpiling food and other house hold items to use when things are not on sale is also part of living a frugal lifestyle. Building a stockpile is simpler than you may think. Buying extra when things are at a great discount and slowly adding them to your pantry will save you money in the long run. The food and household items you have stored away can also come in very handy in an emergency rather it is a blizzard, a layoff or even a job loss you will be glad you have the extra on hand.
The frugal living lifestyle closely resembles the minimalist mindset. Both frugalists and minimalists avoid senseless consumerism and the accumulation of unnecessary stuff. Instead of buy, use, toss, replace the way our modern throw away consumerist friends do, frugalists encourage repairing, cleaning, and reusing. By taking care of the things we have, we give the item a longer useful life which saves us money and saves our environment.
Frugal living often encourages us to be better consumers. When we look at the value of an item, we must also take into account its quality. You must the decide if it is worth the extra expense to purchase something that is a higher quality item vs saving a few dollars and purchasing something that isn't made as well. More often than not spending a little extra on an item that is made better will save you down the line.
Once you have adjusted to this new way of thinking, and this new lifestyle you will begin seeing the savings roll in without a lot of effort on your part. If you are smart with the money you are saving you will use it to pay off your existing debts, and pave the way towards financial freedom. Being in control of your finances will allow you to live a more secure and fulfilling life.
Don't miss out on any of my great tips to help your family
save money, have frugal fun and enjoy life!

The importance of bath lifts hospitals cannot be understated, as they help make the cleaning and bathing of patients an easier and more comfortable experience for all parties involved. They also reduce the risk of injuries and accidents among caretakers by removing the need to lift patients by themselves. It's an inexpensive way of making sure that no one needs to take time off to recover from injuries that could've been prevented. Simply put, a mobile bath lift is an important part of patient hygiene in hospitals for a multitude of reasons.
Naturally it is also important to make sure that the ones you purchase are of good quality and suitable for the task at hand. Hygiene has always been an important part of health, and that is especially true in hospitals which are why there's equipment such as bath lifts to help with such things.
A worthwhile purchase
Getting a bath lift from TR Equipment is a worthwhile investment, with their products being built to last and to be cost effectively. They also produce shower trolleys, bathtubs and shower chairs to help do the act of cleaning patients much easier and with less stress and strain put onto caretakers.
Their focus as a company is on making hygiene related products for hospitals and aged care facilities with the purpose of creating flexible and long-term partnerships with their customers. They're a good choice for anyone that's looking for a manufacturer whom produces high-quality patient hygiene equipment.

Torrington police investigate Facebook video showing alleged assault
TORRINGTON >> Police said Tuesday they are aware of and investigating a video that has been circulating on Facebook showing what appears to be an assault.
The video shows what appears to be three males intimidating or assaulting a lone male on a city street, officials said.
"We have initial information that this may have been started due a hand gesture that was misinterpreted by the suspects," police said Tuesday. "No serious injuries were reported."
The video has been circulated in several local Facebook groups in the past 24 hours. However, police urged them to let them to their jobs.
"Please allow detectives to continue with their investigation before making assumptions on social media," said Detective Kevin L. Tieman. "Although we have different races involved in this incident, Torrington Police do not have any information or evidence to date that this is a racially motivated incident."
Police said there is nothing to lead them to believe that this is a hate crime under state statute.
"The individuals in the video have all been identified and the investigation is ongoing," Tieman said. "There have been no arrests yet in this case as there is follow up to be completed by the Detective Division. We will update news agencies when new information is developed."
Tieman said Tuesday that the incident took place on Winthrop Street, which runs past both Torrington High School and Oliver Wolcott Technical High School.
The department is not releasing where the individuals depicted in the video attend school at this time, he said.
The individuals in the video appear to be of school age.
Superintendent Denise Clemons said Tuesday that the district was aware of the incident, and that she received a text message regarding it Monday evening. The district is investigating the matter and cooperating with police, she said.
Clemons said she would not release whether the students attended Torrington High School, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The safety of children is the foremost concern of the district, she said.
"As a school district, we do not and will not tolerate this type of conduct or any other inappropriate conduct toward any of our students. We will hold accountable any students who engage in such behavior," Clemons said in a statement. "(W)e wish to assure all members of the Torrington Community that the safety of children is the District's foremost concern and there are many policies and procedures in place to ensure the well-being of all our children."

text: This is probably the easiest creme caramel flan recipe out there. No heating up the oven or even using a steamer (which I know some people do) to make this delectable and luscious dessert. And the best part? This is quite a jiggly creme caramel flan, even after being in the fridge for many hours. Something the kids (even the adults) would swoon over.

Multilevel Monte Carlo methods for uncertainty quantification in subsurface flow (pdf)
The quantification of uncertainty in groundwater flow plays a central role in the safety assessment of radioactive waste disposal and of CO2 capture and storage underground. Stochastic modelling of data uncertainties in the rock permeabilities lead to elliptic PDEs with random coefficients. Typical models used for the random coefficients, such as log-normal random fields with exponential covariance, are unbounded and have only limited spatial regularity, making practical computations very expensive and the rigorous numerical analysis challenging. To overcome the problem of the prohibitively large computational cost of standard Monte Carlo methods, we introduce a multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm, based on a hierarchy of spatial levels/grids. We will demonstrate on a typical model problem the significant gains with respect to conventional Monte Carlo that are possible with this new approach. We will also discuss the extension of the multilevel idea to the case of Markov chain Monte Carlo.

b. Notice that there was a leak in a patient's ventilator.
8. The matters described at paragraphs 1- 7 constitute misconduct and/or lack of competence.
9. By reason of your misconduct and/or lack of competence your fitness to practise is impaired.
1. The Registrant had been employed by the BMI, the Lincoln Hospital (the former employer) as a registered Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) in theatres from 2011 until her dismissal in December 2013. The former employer appeared to have lost the Registrant's personnel file. In any event, the Panel had no evidence of it or the Registrant's accurate past employment and professional history before it. Thus, the dates and some information herein may not be completely accurate. They are gathered from the various documents in the bundles including information from the Registrant, as well as from the evidence given by the HCPC witnesses.
2. The Registrant had undergone a significant career break, possibly having qualified earlier as an ODP. She commenced healthcare work in 1992, first working as an Enrolled Nurse (EN). In 1997 she went into agency work for 2 years and stated from 1997 until 1999 worked as an ODP, when she broke her career to raise a family. She then worked at BMI Lincoln (the former employer) as a Healthcare Assistant in theatres from approximately 2010 until approximately 2011. The Registrant stated that her former employer picked up that she had prior ODP experience and asked her to come back in a clinical role and that the hospital would train her. She said that she had completed the required written competencies, that she had sent those to the HCPC as required and that she also kept a reflective diary. From the time of her re-registration in July 2011 as an ODP, the Registrant was working part time at the former employer, for approximately 27 hours a week.
3. On 1 June 2013, following surgery, a patient required post-operative analgesia in the recovery room in the prescribed form of 10mg Morphine. The Registrant was to administer it. It is alleged that she failed to dilute the Morphine as was the required technique, and that she incorrectly gave it in concentrated form, also without titrating the dose and giving it gradually.
4. Senior staff were informed, an Incident Report was completed and an investigation process headed by AM, the Director of Clinical Services was commenced.
5. As a consequence, AM instigated a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for the Registrant. This commenced on 2 July 2013 and included weekly meetings and reports over a 12-week period, the requirement to keep a reflective diary and the maintenance of a patient log. The PIP was implemented and maintained by DB, a theatre manager and the Registrant's line manager from 27 May 2013, and it was supervised by MH, a lead ODP and the Registrant's supervisor. When MH was on leave, the PIP supervision was undertaken by either BM or CB.
6. In addition, at around this time, AP, a National Theatre Clinical Skills and Education Trainer for BMI's Education and Training group and a registered nurse, was also asked to conduct an on-going assessment of the Registrant in practice. She first met the Registrant on 14th June 2013 with DB and prepared a report on the Registrant after this meeting. AP then undertook two assessments of the Registrant on 2 July and 29 August 2013 and prepared reports after each of those assessments.
7. Also in June 2013, the HR Department of the former employer appointed another practitioner, A O'B, a Quality and Risk Manager at BMI Thornbury, Sheffield, who specialised in theatres, and who was also a registered nurse to investigate concerns about the Registrant's performance as a result of the morphine incident on 1 June 2013.
8. During the course of the PIP, a number of further failings were identified by the former employer and these formed the basis of the allegations before this Panel.
9. The Registrant's performance was reviewed on 12 September 2013, after which a meeting took place on 17 September 2013, at which the Registrant was suspended from practice.
10. The Registrant was reported to the HCPC and these matters were heard on 16 – 20 March 2015. The final hearing Panel found the above matters proved. It determined that Particulars 3 and 4c amounted to misconduct. The Panel also determined that Particulars 4a, 5a, 5c, 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b amounted to lack of competence on the part of the Registrant. The Panel determined that the Registrant's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and lack of competence.
11. That Panel determined that the proportionate and appropriate sanction was one of a Suspension Order for 12 months.
Preliminary matters:
Service of Notice
12. The notice of today's hearing was sent to the Registrant at her address as it appeared in the register on 19 December 2016. The notice contained the date, time and venue of today's hearing.
13. The Panel accepted the advice of the Legal Assessor, and is satisfied that notice of today's hearing has been served in accordance with the rules.
Proceeding in the absence of the Registrant
14. The Panel then went on to consider whether to proceed in the absence of the Registrant pursuant to Rule 11 of the Conduct and Competent Committee Rules. In doing so, it considered the submissions of Ms Hamilton on behalf of the HCPC.
15. Ms Hamilton submitted that the HCPC has taken all reasonable steps to serve the notice on the Registrant. Ms Hamilton stated that the Registrant has not engaged with the HCPC, and that an adjournment would serve no useful purpose. Her last contact to the HCPC was in March 2016 by way of letter wherein she stated, "… I am now following a different career path and have no wish to return to working as an Operating Department Practitioner… Therefore even at the end of this year's suspension the situation will not change". Ms Hamilton reminded the Panel that there was a public interest in this matter being dealt with expeditiously.
16. The Panel accepted the advice of the Legal Assessor. He advised that, if the Panel is satisfied that all reasonable efforts have been made to notify the Registrant of the hearing, then the Panel had the discretion to proceed in the absence of the Registrant.
17. The Legal Assessor referred the Panel to the case of GMC v Adeogba and Visvardis [2016] EWCA Civ 162 and advised that the Adeogba case reminded the Panel that its primary objective is the protection of the public and of the public interest.
18. The Panel was satisfied that all reasonable efforts had been made by the HCPC to notify the Registrant of the hearing. It was also satisfied that the Registrant should be aware of the hearing.
19. In deciding whether to exercise its discretion to proceed in the absence of the Registrant, the Panel took into consideration the HCPC practice note entitled 'Proceeding in the Absence of a Registrant'. The Panel weighed its responsibilities for public protection and the expeditious disposal of the case with the Registrant's right to a fair hearing.
20. The Panel was satisfied that the Registrant had voluntarily absented herself from the hearing. It determined that it was unlikely that an adjournment would result in the Registrant's attendance at a later date in the light of the non-engagement from the Registrant. Having weighed the public interest in the expeditious review of the Interim Order against the Registrant's own interest, the Panel decided to proceed in the Registrant's absence.
1. Ms Hamilton, on behalf of the HCPC submitted that in the light of the lack of engagement on the part of the Registrant and the fact that the period of suspension has already been extended, a further extension would serve no useful purpose and would not satisfy the public interest and therefore the HCPC recommends that the Registrant's name be struck off the register.
Legal advice
2. The Legal Assessor reminded the Panel that its purpose today was to conduct a comprehensive appraisal of the Registrant to determine if she is fit to return to unrestricted practice. Its role was not to conduct a rehearing of the allegations nor was it to go behind the previous findings. He advised that in carrying out this assessment, the Panel must exercise its own independent judgment.
a) The Legal Assessor advised that the Panel might find the questions formulated in the case of CHRE v NMC and Grant (2011) EWHC 927 (Admin) of some assistance, albeit slightly modified for these proceedings:
'Does the evidence before the Panel today show that the Registrant's fitness to practice remains impaired by reason of her misconduct in the sense that she:
a) is liable in the future to act so as to put a service user at unwarranted risk of harm; and/or
b) is liable in the future to bring the Operating Department Practitioner profession into disrepute; and/or
c) is liable in the future to breach one of the fundamental tenets of the profession?'
3. The Legal Assessor advised the Panel that if it determined that the Registrant's fitness to practise remained impaired then the Panel must go on to consider what sanction, if any, should be imposed. The Legal Assessor advised the Panel that if it determined that the Registrant's fitness to practise remained impaired all the options under Article 30 of the 2001 Order could be exercised by the Panel. He also advised the Panel that it should bear in mind the principle of fairness and proportionality and have regard to the Indicative Sanctions Policy document issued by the HCPC. He reminded the Panel that any order that it makes under Article 30 should not be punitive in purpose, and that it should be the least restrictive order that would suffice to protect the public and/or is otherwise in the public interest.
1. The Panel accepted the advice of the Legal Assessor. The Panel first considered whether the Registrant's fitness to practise is currently impaired. The Panel took into consideration all the documentation before it, and the submissions of Ms Hamilton. In particular it noted the lack of engagement of the Registrant with the process.
2. There is no evidence before the Panel today that could satisfy it that the Registrant's fitness to practise was no longer impaired. She did not engage with the final hearing nor has she engaged in the subsequent reviews of the substantive order. There is therefore no evidence before the Panel that the Registrant has insight into her failings, or has remediated them. Her lack of engagement in the process demonstrates that she is no longer committed to the profession.
3. In light of all the above, the Panel determines that the Registrant's fitness to practise remains impaired.
4. The Panel then went on to consider what the appropriate and proportionate sanction should be. It had regard to the Indicative Sanctions Guide issued by the HCPC and considered the available sanctions in order of severity, starting with the least restrictive. In the light of the lack of engagement and commitment to the profession on the part of the Registrant, the Panel determined that it was not appropriate to take no further action, nor was it appropriate to impose conditions of practice which would in the circumstance be wholly impracticable.
5. In the light of all the above, the Panel also considered that a further period of suspension was also not appropriate. It took into account that the Registrant has been suspended since 20 March 2015, and she has not engaged nor demonstrated any insight into her misconduct. The Registrant has not practised as an ODP since December 2013. In the circumstances the Panel considers that the risk of repetition of her misconduct and lack of competence remains The Panel considered that this was unlikely to change in future in the light of the Registrant's letter of 24 March 2016. A further period of suspension would therefore serve no useful purpose and would not further the public interest.
6. Panel determined that the appropriate and proportionate sanction now is to strike the Registrant's name off the Register.
Order: That the Registrar is directed to strike the name of Ms Amy Jackson from the Register upon the expiry of the current order.

Situated next to the western part of Tokyo and the southeast of central Japan, Yamanashi is encircled by the mountains and mountain ranges designated as national and quasi-national parks, such as Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park, Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, Yatsugatake-Chushin Quasi-National Park, and the South Japan Alps National Park. It is a prefecture where nature abounds with varying spectacular views of lakes and valleys. Yamanashi boasts various places of natural beauty, such as Mt. Fuji, Fuji Goko (Fuji Five Lakes), and the Shosen-Kyo Valley. Yamanashi also has various historic ruins left for posterity by the Takeda family of war lords who ruled the region in the 16th century, such as Takeda-jinja Shrine and Kai Zenko-ji Temple. Another place worth visiting is a spread of hillside orchards on which fruits are grown, such as peaches, strawberries, cherries, apples, and blueberries. Especially around Katsunuma, which is known as the biggest vineyard in Japan, you can get in touch with the history of winemaking in Japan while enjoying the tastes of different wines on a tour of wineries of all sizes, not to mention grape picking.
Yamanashi is easy to access from Tokyo. You can enjoy outdoor sports in the bosom of magnificent nature and encounter artifacts reflecting Japan's history and culture on a tour of art galleries and museums. There are also a variety of theme parks worth visiting, and all of these are what characterize Yamanashi as one of the most attractive prefectures in Japan.

First Department Holds That Invoices Standing Alone May Not Be Regarded as Evidence of Title or Ownership of Property.
In Anonymous v. Anonymous,--- N.Y.S.3d ----, 2017 WL 1234201, 2017 N.Y. Slip Op. 02613 (1st Dept., 2017) the parties prenuptial agreement did not specifically address how the parties should divide their art collection upon dissolution of the marriage. It provided that any property owned on the date of execution of the prenuptial agreement, April 21, 1992, or "hereafter…acquired" by one party remains that party's separate property. It provided that "[n]o contribution of either party to the care, maintenance, improvement, custody or repair of… [the other's party]…shall in any way alter or convert any of such property…to marital property. The prenuptial agreement further provided that "any property acquired after the date of the marriage that is jointly held in the names of both parties" shall, upon dissolution of the marriage — which occurred on March 25, 2014 — be divided equally between the parties. Under the heading, Non-Marital Property, the agreement provided: "No property hereafter acquired by the parties or by either of them…shall constitute marital property…unless (a) pursuant to a subscribed and acknowledged written agreement, the parties expressly designate said property as marital property…or (b) title to said property is jointly held in the names of both parties." During the marriage, the parties agreed to acquire certain art as a joint collection, including pieces acquired through Art Advisory Services, Luhring Augustine, and The Kitchen. The husband moved, inter alia, for a declaratory judgment that, "consistent with the Prenuptial Agreement, the title to the art purchased during the marriage determines whether it is marital or separate property, regardless of the source of funds used to acquire it or the alleged intent behind the purchase." He argued that title should be determined based solely on the invoice or bill of sale. The motion court relied on the invoices as proof of whether the art was jointly or individually held in granting his motion.
The Appellate Division held to the contrary, that invoices, standing alone, may not be regarded as evidence of title or ownership of the art. An invoice is defined as "[a] list of goods sent or services provided, with a statement of the sum due for these" (Oxford Living Dictionaries [https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/invoice]). "An invoice…is not a bill of sale, nor is it evidence of a sale. It is a mere detailed statement of the nature, quantity, or cost of the goods, or price of the things invoiced, and it is as appropriate to a bailment as a sale. Hence, standing alone, it is never regarded as "evidence of title" (Sturm v. Boker, 150 US 312, 328 [1893]. An invoice cannot be said to be dispositive of ownership. The purpose of the invoice is not to identify the titled owner. The unreliability of an invoice as sole proof of title was evidenced by various invoices in the record. The Appellate Division concluded that title to personalty cannot be determined by relying solely upon an invoice. In determining title to the artwork in question, all the facts and circumstances of the acquisition and indicia of ownership must also be considered. Accordingly, the order was reversed, on the law, the declaration vacated, and the matter remanded for further proceedings, including discovery and an evidentiary hearing to determine the ownership of the disputed art.

Tell us how we can improve our website by completing this short survey
The continental shelf edge is the controlling gateway to exchange of nutrients and carbon between oceanic and shelf waters, with impacts on global climate and on regional resources. Our knowledge of how exchange between ocean and shelf changes from season to season, and from one year to another, is at present rather limited. FASTNEt applies the latest observational and modelling techniques to the aim of resolving the key seasonal, interannual and regional variation absent from existing knowledge.
The supplies of oceanic nutrients to the shelf seas are vital in supporting the productive higher trophic levels in shelf and coastal waters, including 90% of the world's commercial fish catches. Much of the population rely heavily rely upon these resources, so there is an increasing need to understand how they will be affected by changes in ocean/shelf exchange processes.
We are developing new Earth Observation tools to extend the measurements made using sea gliders and drifters, analyse the interactions at shelf-sea fronts and increase our understanding of critical processes.

As earlier chapters have illustrated, teacher education today confronts numerous problems. In this concluding chapter we address those problems that appear not only most troublesome but are also pervasive and persistent. We concentrate on the critical initial phases of teacher education, the cornerstone for what hopefully will become a continuum of professional growth. We focus on initial teacher preparation because we have studied this phenomenon for almost a decade as investigators in the Research About Teacher Education (RATE) study sponsored by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE). From the mid-80s to the mid-90s we annually surveyed faculty and students in programs of teacher education across the United States.
The subject of this commentary is the State University of New York's role�in driving innovation and progress in teacher preparation with a focus on the importance of fostering cradle-to-career initiatives and building a�strong, reliable education pipeline. With 64 campuses and 467,000 students, SUNY is the nation�s largest system of public higher education. Our diverse and geographically distributed network of doctoral granting institutions, comprehensive colleges, and community colleges provides a unique and powerful engine to bring innovations, reforms, and best practices to scale.

October 30th, 1974. 3:00 PM
I had been hearing about beads for several hours.
Then the subject turned to beading followed by beaders and then came full circle back to just plain beads.
After a brief segue into clasps it was beads all over again.
I shouldn't have found this so boring considering talking about beads is what I do for a living. However, the presentation was being given by Hubie Three – the rat of a man who ran the day-to-day business of the company in my stead – who not only had a knack for making things boring and tedious but, I truly believe, reveled in the opportunity so gleefully that he went so far as to hone it as a skill in his spare time.
Every year at this time all the company salesmen travel from their particular regions and meet at the home office in Seattle to see what the buyers have added to our inventory. When my great-aunt started the company, she chose this time of year for the annual gathering because it gave the sellers plenty of time to get back on the road and show their customers exclusive merchandise that could be purchased before Christmas. At first, even with Hubie Three's horrible presentation, I was interested in what he was showing us. He must have sensed the interest I and the six other salespeople were showing because after a short time his tone became more and more monotone. He knew we had to listen to him so he did his best to make us not want to.
Who knows how many times I'd heard the word "beads" that afternoon when I felt my eyelids growing heavy. On a couple of occasions my head nodded, and it was my chin hitting my neck that woke me. I didn't know if my drowsiness was discovered by anyone else in the room, but I knew if it wasn't it surely would be if it happened too many more times. So I let my mind take a break from paying attention to Hubie Three and looked around the room.
Our headquarters are on the second floor of a three-story office building. The walls hadn't been plastered over or painted, so from between filing cabinets, desks, and stacked boxes of inventory, old red brick peered out. Large windows made up the upper half of the wall behind Hubie Three, and outside the weather was gray with sporadic periods of light rain. This was my favorite type of weather, but unfortunately I enjoyed it so much because it helped me relax, and a calming influence was not what I needed right then. It was as if everything going on in that room had been choreographed to make me doze off, thereby embarrassing myself in front of my employees. We were even out of coffee.
All but one of the salespeople had been with the company longer than me, and I was sure they held at least some animosity for the new guy who strolled in and was suddenly in charge. I was therefore adamant that I do two things: first, not let anyone catch me slumbering during Hubie Three's rundown of the new merchandise, and second, pretend not to notice if any of the others were.
Each time Hubie held up a new bead, he told where it came from, how much of it was in stock, what key words we might use to make it sound more exotic to a buyer, and which competitors had or didn't have that particular bead. Then he would hand the bead to Grace Evermore who sat to his left at the conference table.
Grace was a hawk-faced woman in her late thirties who dressed in outdated business suits in which the skirt, jacket, shirt, scarf around her neck, and the frames of her cat-eye glasses were always exactly the same shade. She tried extremely hard to maintain rigid posture and a no-nonsense expression; it was her dream, apparently, to remind people of their most humorless schoolteacher.
Grace's parents either had an acute sense of irony, or were oblivious to her most obvious shortcoming when they named her. Grace was not graceful. In fact, she was a klutz.
Each time Hubie Three handed her a bead, she took it between her thumb and middle finger, moved her arm back and forth until it reached the perfect focal length, tilted her head back and looked over her glasses, and then dropped the bead. (For anyone who's ever dropped a bead, I don't need to tell you just how far those things can bounce and roll, especially when they've found their freedom across a concrete floor.) When finally the bead was retrieved, Grace's head would bang on the tabletop as she attempted to get back to her chair. An instant after the thud she would utter a little squeal of surprise and settle back into her chair as if nothing happened, smooth her blazer with her hands, pass the bead to her left if she was the one who retrieved it, and look to Hubie Three as if to say, "okay, let's get to the next bead."
Grace would then pass the bead to Oliver Hampton, the salesman who had been with the company the longest. Oliver was a thickly built man of short stature. His military-style haircut was as square as his shoulders, and he always wore a dress shirt with short sleeves from which the bottom half of his fading United States Marine Corps tattoo would peek whenever he lifted his arms.
Oliver's career in sales began in the Bible biz. He went door to door talking families who couldn't afford it in to buying not just a Bible, but also an heirloom. The covers were made from the best imitation leather, and the family name would be emblazoned on it in painted gold, old English style letters. As luck would have it, Oliver's strong-held religious beliefs drove him out of that game. The company he worked for demanded that if the customers showed any sign of disinterest, the salesman was to bring up the possibility of the whole family endangering their souls to an eternity of torment if a few hundred dollars meant more to them than God's Word.
To Oliver's left sat Toby Bartman, a salesman's salesman if ever there was one; a man whose physical appearance was the only thing phonier than his personality. His hair was dyed a shade of blond that was too light to be genuine on a person with skin as dark as his. His dentures were too white and rectangular, as if he wanted to display the concept of perfect teeth in his ever-present, overly jolly smile. His handshake was designed to squeeze bones to the point of almost snapping, with an arrhythmic pumping motion that made the recipient feel not only pain, but confusion. He also prided himself on the old salesman trick of finding out the name of a prospective buyer and using it as often as he could in a conversation. The problem with this tactic, however was Toby was horrible at remembering names. His conversations with Toby often went something like this:
Toby: "Hey, there buddy, Toby's the name." (The painful handshake would begin here.)
Stranger: "Nice to meet you. My name's Mark."
Toby: "Great to make your acquaintance Mike. Say, you got a wife or girlfriend…or maybe both?" He would wink and laugh heartily, as if it were the first time he'd ever told the joke.
Stranger: "Wife, yeah."
Toby: "Well, Matt, I'd be willing to bet she likes pretty things, jewelry, beads whatnot, right?" He would continue getting the man's name wrong accidentally, while purposefully adding pressure to his hand, until he had annoyed the customer into submission.
During Hubie Three's droning that afternoon, Toby would often make sounds like "hmm," or "uh huh," to give the impression he was paying more attention than the rest of us, though his glazy stare betrayed his boredom.
Toby would then pass the samples to me. I'd study them briefly and hand them over to Eliza Jones.
Eliza was the youngest at the table, and the most recently hired employee. Her background was not in sales, but political science. She had graduated from Washington State three years prior, found a low-paying job working on the campaign for a Senate hopeful who was discovered to be a crook before he was elected (which, as we all know, is the only time that kind of revelation can hurt a politician,) and found herself unable to keep up financially with her insatiable appetite for buying beads. She was so knowledgeable on the subject she often corrected Hubie Three, mentioning he had the country of origin wrong on this bead or that, or reminding him we had tried selling that cut of crystal the year before, only to discontinue it for lack of sales.
I had recommended to Hubie we make Eliza a buyer, and for once he agreed with me, but Eliza didn't want to stray far from home. She was a Seattle native, and the Northwest territory was hers. She was the only salesperson who didn't have to travel far to be at today's meeting.
After studying a message bead made so badly it was impossible to tell what message it was meant to convey, she handed it over to Donald Neitz who chuckled when he looked at it. This was no surprise -- Donald Neitz chuckled all the time.
Donald may have been the thinnest man I'd ever seen. His large head defied gravity, as it seemed impossible that it was held up by his goose-like neck. From that neck protruded a fist of an Adam's apple that bobbled up and down with those snorts of humor. When he spoke I was reminded of the weight of a carnival game; a counter-lever struck by a heavy mallet that sent it gliding up his neck, almost to his jaw where – if it ever reached the top – I was sure I'd hear a bell ring and a carnie would hand him a Cupie doll. With each of his bursts of mini-laughter, Donald would run one hand through his wild, blond hair, and with the other dig a finger underneath his collar, over his red bowtie, and then bring them both to rest on his paisley suspenders.
"That's a nice one, yesssiree!" he had said dozens of times that afternoon as he placed whatever bead he had just studied into the hand of Randy Tutler.
Randy was one of those people you don't want to think of much less write about. He fancied himself irresistible to the ladies, though I had never seen him with a member of the fairer sex. However, I'm sure his bravado, pork chop sideburns, and liberal use of cheap aftershave aided him in his self-delusion. But as if that weren't enough, he was always dressed in the flashiest double-knit leisure suits and cheap silk shirts unbuttoned down to his navel, and he used his thick, black chest hair as a display mat for his collection of gold chains and medallions. If you were a man, Randy would want to talk sports with you, and it didn't take long to realize his knowledge was limited. If you were a female unfortunate enough to find yourself in a conversation with him, he would tell you about his poetry or how he loved animals as he figured out a casual way to put his hands on you.
It wasn't an accident that none of the women in the room chose to sit next to him.
October 30th, 1974. 4:15 PM
It was the day before Halloween, but for the people who worked for me it was Christmas. Since this is the only time when all of the salespeople and buyers were in Seattle, I had decided two years prior to enhance Great Aunt Helen's annual meeting with a yuletide festival.
It not only gave us all a chance to talk about something besides beads, but helped guarantee that everyone would converge in Seattle and not come up with some excuse not to hear Hubie Three rattle on and on. So when he finally asked if anyone had any questions or comments, I was sure we'd all look at each other blankly for a few moments, and then I'd stand and tell everyone it was time to head to O'Donahue's Bar & Grille to get the party started. But I didn't get the chance,
"Say, I got a suggestion if y'all don't mind." Toby Bartman stood, hitching up his pants, and started pacing up and down the length of the conference table. "I need to get myself some more of them blue beads. You know, the weird lookin' ones."
After no one shared their views on the blue beads, he realized he had to be more specific. "The ones that are kinda shaped like a football where the air was squeezed to one side? Kind of like crystals, but the facets are more rounded, and it was sort of milky."
No one knew what he was talking about. He looked to Eliza. Surely she would know the name of the bead. She didn't.
"It had a little thing inside, you could sort of see it in there, looked like a little….oh, I don't know." He held his thumb and forefinger really close together to indicate something small. "You don't know what I'm talking about?"
"Sounds kind of ugly," was Eliza's only input.
"Yeah, it was, now that you mention it," Toby continued. "I didn't even realize I had it. To be honest, no one seemed to pay too much attention to it. But I was in this bar in Spearfish talkin' to a fine little miss and she brings up beads. Well, I hadn't even mentioned I sold 'em. Our conversation had been more, well, personal up to that point." He laughed too loudly.
"So, long story short, I get out my display case, and she hones in on this bead. She asks me how much, and I had no idea. I mean, no idea at all. So I was just about to say something like two bucks, when she offers me 50! Fifty damn dollars for this weird lookin' bead! Don't that beat all?" He was standing directly behind Donald and to accentuate his point he slapped the poor guy on the back so hard his head wobbled around on that spaghetti-noodle neck.
Leaning back, in an effort to open his shirt and expose more of his chest hair, Randy spoke up. "Maybe it was a diamond or something, got in there accidentally. I'd say you'd been had, Toby."
"Nope, nope, nope, not a diamond, no chance. It was all scratched up."
Grace took off her glasses, trying to look like she was in deep thought, but then dropped them and just looked clumsy. "It doesn't sound like anything I carry," she said as she groped around on the floor.
"Well, I'm just sayin', at 50 bucks a pop, without even a sales pitch, I'd say we should get ourselves some more of them, that's all. If' I'm ever back in Spearfish, I'll try to track her down, find out what it's called, and why it's so valuable."
"You met her at a bar, and you expect to find her again? Good luck." Randy spoke from years of personal experience of chatting up women in taverns and having them disappear on him.
"I'll just look 'er up," Toby said confidently. "Her name's Celia, Celia Andrews. Pretty blond girl."
Donald's head swung around, his eyes got wide. Randy stammered, as if trying to say something but having no idea where to start.
"Holy Christ," was heard softly coming from the ex-Bible salesman.
And me, well, I felt a little dizzy, a little confused. The name Celia Andrews brought me back to a roadside hotel during a thunderstorm. Adding to my shock was, for the first time since I'd known him, Toby remembered a name correctly.
Grace fell off her chair. Not because Toby's story sounded familiar to her, she was just prone to doing that.

Salvation to the Third Generation! Day 28
I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. —2 Timothy 1:5
About three months before Russ Rogers' death, I visited with Russ, Lois, and Russ's son Robert. Robert, who was reared under the influence of two generations of agnostics (his mother was into New Age stuff), was sharing how he had accepted Christ two weeks before this time as a result of the radical change Christ brought to his dad's and grandfather's lives. It was refreshing to talk with him and Russ about who Jesus is and the paradox of submitting our lives to his control and leadership. We talked about Jesus' statement that the only way to really find life is to lose one's life. Such a commitment is awesome. It was encouraging to hear Russ share his commitment to Christ. Even though he was losing the battle against cancer, his faith and trust were growing.
During our conversation, when Russ was sharing his concerns about the pain and feeling like the cancer was taking over his body, Robert reached out and placed his hand on his dad's hand. Russ said, "Robert, that big hand on mine feels great." It was a demonstration of love and compassion from a son to a father. It was inspiring to see a son and father who came to Christ out of a tumultuous past expressing deep love for one another after years of strained relationships—a demonstration of the reconciling power of the love of Christ. It was graphic portrayal of the potency of intercessory prayer. Reflecting on this demonstration of the unconditional love, unlimited grace, and unending life transforming power of God, I thought, "But isn't it a bit sad that Fred and Russ waited until the end of their lives to receive Christ. Wouldn't it have been so much better if they had made the decision back when we first met many years ago?" A still, small voice—a gentle whisper— in the deep inner recesses of my spirit said, "But just think! We'll have all eternity to celebrate with them!" And I understood: it's the quality of life, not the quantity of time, that's important; and I could rest in that truth.
I was privileged to witness that day a live model of Paul's thrilling comments to Timothy, "I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also" (2 Tim 1:5). The biblical pattern is the good news handed from generation to generation: Grandpa Fred; dad Russ, and son Robert. The message is: Do not give up when you are praying for someone and the answers are not immediate. God always hears our prayers, and he is always at work with the answers. We simply wait for his timing and resources. The stories of radical transformation of people who have basically turned their backs on God remind me of the ministry mandates our Lord gave us in the Great Commission. In summary, we have a lost world that is broken, hurting, dying, and separated from God. There's a loving Savior who died on a cross to reconcile a lost world to God and to bring salvation and healing to men and women, boys and girls. We need living witnesses to bring together a loving Savior and a lost world in reconciliation and peace. We need liberal partners—generous people—to invest in various ways to empower the continuing ministries of God's people in creating lasting legacies for men and women, girls and boys, who come to Jesus and receive life—abundant and eternal.
Energize us, Lord, to be Liberal Partners who empower Living Witnesses to connect a Loving Savior with a Lost World to create Lasting Legacies for people to come to Jesus and receive life – abundant and eternal. Enable us, Lord, to join you in Transforming Hearts…Transforming Lives…and to never give up on those who seem hopelessly lost! Amen.

Cost and Duration of Long-Term Care at Home
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; FACFAS, M.B.A., CPHQ™, CMP™
By Thomas A. Muldowney; M.S.F.S., CLU, ChFC, CFP® CMP™
By Hope Rachel Hetico; R.N., M.H.A., CPHQ™, CMP
This is the first post in an exclusive four part series for the ME-P titled: "At-Home or Nursing Home Care for Long-Term Care."
Remaining at Home
It is not surprisingly, eighty-five percent of married elders prefer to remain at home instead of moving to a nursing home or some other senior care facility. Staying at home is easier, more comfortable, and less traumatic. Home care statistics are limited, but three years is the estimated average number of years that elders will require custodial care services. This estimate also may combine home care followed by nursing home care. And, the anecdotal healthcare experience of two authors [DEM and HRH] confirms this period length.
Incremental LT Cost Approach
Quantifying the annual incremental costs of LTC home custodial services is difficult. Today, a high percentage of home care services are provided by unpaid family members, friends, or volunteer organizations. In the future, however, there will be fewer available unpaid caregivers, and more elders will have to pay for home custodial care.
Because of this potential shortage of caregivers, new business opportunities are springing up and, as usual, let the buyer beware. Many of these new businesses, for a fee, contract with a family that needs home LTC for a family member. Upon contract, the new LTC business owner begins a search for a candidate caregiver who will live in your house and care for your parent or spouse. Often the in-home caregivers have difficulty speaking the language or may not be familiar with local customs.
Furthermore, many of them wish to be paid in cash rather than by check. As you might imagine, background checks, tax compliance and other legal considerations are of utmost importance. Career education and career experience are also very important. Be sure that if you look for such a caregiver, you must exercise thorough due diligence so that your loved one will be cared for properly.
LTC Costs Vary Widely
LTC home care cost estimates vary widely by location and type of service. At present, the average annual cost for a live-in, full-time aide in the United States (especially if part-time help to relieve a full-time aide is added) is estimated at $40,000, the same as the estimated cost of staying at a nursing home for a year. If living expenses are added to costs for custodial aides, LTC home care costs can be more expensive than nursing home costs.
For three shifts of paid LTC custodial services, home care costs may exceed $100,000 annually; more than triple the current estimated cost for nursing home care. These numbers should not be surprising. In a nursing home environment, one caregiver may be able to provide care for multiple patient/residents. This reduces the cost per patient. In your private home, your personal caregiver can give only care to a single patient.
Custodial Aide Costs
Costs for custodial aides in the fragmented, rapidly expanding, competitive home care industry may increase at a faster rate than the Consumer Price Index [CPI]. Employed aides will replace family caregivers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS] indicates that jobs for home health aides, human service workers, and personal and home care aides are expected to grow faster than any other industry in terms of total jobs.
In the next decade, there will be more than 2 million home care jobs, and they will become a larger component of total gross domestic product expenditures. Using an estimated three-year home care requirement and current estimated costs, and allowing for 15 years of inflation at 5 percent, $225,000 per person is a reasonable estimate to use for financial planning purposes.
However, in some metropolitan or suburban areas, such as New York City, the cost should be increased by at least 100 percent. Of course, three years of required care is an estimate. About one-third of the people who require nursing home care will need it for more than three years. Presumably, nursing home care will be preceded by home care. Moreover, only one full-time aide was assumed. Some elders also will require additional part-time help.
And so, your thoughts and comments on this Medical Executive-Post, which represents the first in a series of four parts on: At Home or Nursing Home Care for Long Term Care, are appreciated. Comments from physicians and LTC insurance agents are especially valued.

I understand that Webmin/Virtualmin doesn't really map to cPanel/WHM exactly, but is there any sort of conversion map available to aid new users coming from a cPanel/WHM environment?
and if not, how would I go about creating one? should I just create a map and load it up to my domain then link to it in the newbie forum?

Howdy -- we don't have a recent document.
We do have an old, unmaintained document, you can read that here:
Submitted by gr8kodr on Thu, 02/09/2017 - 00:10 Comment #2
Thanks Eric
I will incorporate the info on that page and put together a fresh guide if that's OK with you
I was thinking more along the lines of mapping the cPanel interface to the equivalent Virtualmin component - then fleshing out the differences between them, possibly as sub-pages
I'll put it together as I muddle through learning Virtualmin and load it up to http://vm-help.kstingel.com (a yet to be created subdomain on my server) once I have something of substance
will update this ticket once I have content for review
Submitted by andreychek on Thu, 02/09/2017 - 08:45 Comment #3
Yeah we don't have anything like that, but I'd be most curious to see what you put together there!
Submitted by gr8kodr on Mon, 02/13/2017 - 20:04 Comment #4
have started writing pages :) ... need to debug nav menu, but that doesn't impact content
only initial page up so far, but content will be in individual sub-pages and pulled into web-doc ... trying to make it easy for you to import the content to Drupal :)

In my previous post I introduced the Formula for Compassionate Conflict: ORPO, and showed two examples of how to use it in real-life situations. Here are some more!
Party! Party! Party!
You and your college roommates are getting ready to head to the bar. They are already drinking and you are thinking ahead about getting home safely. This is conflict because there's a gap between what you want (a plan for getting home safely), and what you are experiencing (everyone is already drinking and don't seem to care). Try ORPO:
O: I'm anxious about getting home safely tonight.
R: Can we please make a plan now for how we are going to get home safely later?
P: It's important to me that we don't wait until it's time to come home to make a plan.
O: I care about you all.
My best friend's favorite pet died
He's devastated and I want to help. I've never had a pet before so I can't empathize. How do I support him? This is conflict because there's a gap between what I want (to be supportive), and what I'm experiencing (never been through this). ORPO to the rescue!
O: I'm so sorry about your loss. I can't even imagine how hard this is for you.
R: I've never been through this, so I don't know how best to help. Will you let me know if you need anything?
P: I promise to be here for you.
O: How are you doing?
You might be wondering what happens if the other person doesn't respond well to ORPO. That's OK. Most people aren't used to healthy conflict, or for compassionate accountability where we both are accountable for our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Tune in next time for some tips for what to do next.
Things to Ponder
- What reactions do you have to these examples of using ORPO to do conflict?
- Where in your life could you benefit from healthier conflict?

This post is part of a series called Ford CityShow More Posts
A view of Fred's grocery store located at 1784 Drouillard Rd, just north of Milloy. Like many storefronts across the city, this one appears to have been filled in, and converted to residential.
This photo appears to date from the early 1950's, and I'll hazard a guess that that's Fred on the left side.
