4 and 5By Ericka Chickowski | Posted 2008-05-14 Print
Experts lay out five of the most common areas where projects will miss the mark and cause undue harm to your business and the players involved.
4. Inflexibility
Agile businesses that can move quickly to adjust to the market's changing needs are able to put themselves in a position of growth. Unfortunately, some IT projects can be so rigid that they fail to allow the business to change processes or adjust to new situations quickly enough to profit from them. This inflexibility is a project killer.
"The dynamics of the business may change, so your project focus or your project initiatives focus needs to be somewhat dynamic or fluid and to be able to adapt to that business change," says Sisco, who advises CIOs to regularly scan their roster of projects to ensure they meet business needs today and kill the ones that don't.
5. Scope Creep
Lack of preparation typically begets the kitchen-sink syndrome, where project leaders add in every kind of feature and the kitchen sink to boot. This is the opposite problem of point-of-failure No. 4, where IT and business managers are so "flexible" that they bloat the project costs with a million bells and whistles added once the project gets underway.
This is yet another problem that stems from lack of preparation. A rigorous chartering process and exploratory phase should be able to give a better picture of actual project scope and costs, which McConnell says is almost always two to three times more than initial estimates.
Then, it is a matter of keeping the reins on a project to balance agility with the budget and timeframe. Leading organizations such as the Project Management Institute recommend implementing a project change-management process to enable flexibility without going overboard with unnecessary changes.
"I think that's basically just good basic blocking and tackling that is part of good project management," McConnell says of post-chartering project control measures.

Empty nester dinner
An empty nester dinner One of the things that I like about being an empty nester is the option to choose not to make full dinner, if I don't want to.

Like so many little girls, Misty Copeland dreamed of being a ballerina.
But her dream was extra-special: she knew that if it ever came true, it would become a historical milestone. Copeland wanted to be the first African-American woman ever chosen as the principal dancer for the prestigious American Ballet Theater.
The Awesome Moment a Nerdy Kid Wins Dance-Off and Shocks His School
Yesterday, the grown-up Copeland was awarded the position, marking the first time in the ABT's 75-year history that a black woman has received the accolade.
The announcement from Kevin McKenzie, Theater's artistic director, was captured on cell phone video as he told her, "Take a bow."
Breaking the news on Instagram was in perfect step with Copeland's own digital efforts to expand appreciation of ballet to new audiences. She has appeared on the cover of TIME magazine and been highlighted on CBS's "60 Minutes," but she is also reaching a new generation of girls through empowering messages on social media and online. Among them, a poignant advertisement made for Under Armour that tells them to never give up.
Bike Path Inspired by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' Opens in Netherlands
The ad, viewed more than eight million times, begins with a child's voice reading a rejection letter from a dance school:
Thank you for your application to our ballet academy. Unfortunately, you have not been accepted.
You lack the right feet, Achilles tendons, turn-out, torso length and bust. You have the wrong body for ballet and, at 13, you are too old to be considered.
The rest of the ad shows Copeland, more than 15 years later, demonstrating the skills that made her a soloist at the American Ballet Theater, before catapulting her to her new role as principal ballerina.

BBC: Anadama Bread (1) (post #67267)
First bread of the Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge is done!
mixed feelings about this one, as I used double amount of molasses in the bread. Also, forgot to oil the plastic wrap placed on top of the loaf, and it glued to one side of it. Result, lopsided bread. OH, well.
bread is ok, not great. It is lighter than I expected, and it did not turn out too sweet, by some miracle of sorts.

for some reason I am afraid of that one.

I love to bake bread, and used to do it every Saturday. Now that I'm trying to lose some weight, though, baking bread is something I have to enjoy vicariously, so that is why I enjoy your posts.

Sally, good for you for taking up this challenge! BTW, Anadama bread can be heavy. Don't worry. This bread has corn meal and molasses for heaven's sake! It is a dense, no air holes type of bread. You did a great job! I have made the Celebration breads, just remember the pannettone bread you made. Extra ingredients, like butter and eggs will make it stollen-like. After doing really wet doughs like ciabatta, this will be very easy.

|Gooseberry Falls (Picture by Alfredo Pedro Perro)
This weekend I will take the next step towards my goal of participating in the Hardrock 100. Qualifying. I hope to do so at the Superior Trail 100 on Friday morning. I have wanted to run his race since the first time I heard about it because it has equal parts of badass and beauty.
Sawtooth is actualy a 103.3 mile race held in northern Minnesota. It starts at Gooseberry Falls and runs to Lusten MN.
There is 21,000 feet of elevation gain in the race. For those of you that don't run ultas...it's a Lot! (Hint: the Sears Tower is around 1,000 feet high). The trail is full or rocks, roots, boulders and (hopefully not) moose, bears and wolves.
|(photo by Alfredo Pedro Perro)
|(Photo by Alfredo Pedro Perro)
I am not going to lie....it is intimidating. Many great runners have been chewed up and spit out by Sawtooth. I am glad so many of my friends will be there towing the line with me. I hope to get to run with a few of them. My wife will also be there crewing the entire 38 hours, so I will have plenty of support. I will take plenty of pictures and prepare a full race report after (regardless of the results). For now, keep me in your thoughts on Friday and Saturday as I attempt this extremely difficult task.

Crochet Ric-Rac for Ornament Trim
The first try combined the ric-rac into the trim and hanger for the "Cool Christmas" design by Fresh Threads Studio from the JCS ornament preview magazine. This style seems similar to Monster Bubbles designs and I was expecting it to be one of theirs. I liked it because the color scheme is so unusual. I think it will make a perfect gift for someone in Florida.
Next I made this Day of the Dead design that really is by Monster Bubbles from the JCS Halloween issue. This time I used the ric-rac for the edging only. Then I added a couple of crochet motifs on the back. The crocheted skull pattern can be found here.

That's fantastic Annie! Love how you used the ric-rac on each ornie.
I made a crocheted bag long ago and used it for the handles, as the pattern was on a magazine. Was afraid they might be too weak, but they have kept their shape through years and many laundry cycles. And they are sturdy enough to fill the bag with heavy stuff.
Love both your ornies :o)
Thanks for posting the links!

Facility Analysis
Optimising facility layouts is a key concern for manufacturing and logistics organisations, whether it be to minimise walking time, eliminate double handling, reduce material movements or maximise space utilisation. These are all complex and multi variate problems that benefit from simulation and experimentation 'in silico' to find and test the best solution before implementing within your facility.
FactoryCAD and Factory FLOW from the Tecnomatix suite of products are best placed to help optimise facility layouts and create intelligent warehouse models.
Tecnomatix FactoryCAD is a facility layout application that gives you everything you need to create detailed, intelligent warehouse models.
Based on AutoCAD, instead of having to draw lines, arcs, and circles, FactoryCAD allows you to work with "smart objects" that represent virtually all the resources used in a Warehouse, from floor and overhead conveyors, mezzanines and cranes to material handling containers and operators. With these objects, you can "snap" together a layout model without wasting time drawing the equipment.
- Easily import tooling and product models (NX, JT, Solid Edge, Parasolid, etc.)
- Layout and plan facilities in 3D
- Accelerated model development with smart objects
- Parametric object and system toolkit
- As much as 90 percent faster than traditional 3D modeling
- Create 2D/3D models in less time with less effort
- Discover and resolve design problems early in the layout process
- Data re-use makes the layout information more valuable
- Reduce interpretation errors
- As much as 95 percent reduction in 3D file sizes, as compared to AutoCAD®
Factory FLOW:
FactoryFLOW enables you to optimise your warehouse layout based on material flow distances, MHE Utilisation, traffic Congestion and cost.
For operators worldwide, more efficient warehouse layouts directly result in reduced material handling, improved product quality, and increased profits. FactoryFLOW's layout evaluation tools model the effect of layout changes before undertaking the risk and expense of physically reworking inefficient layouts. And optimised warehouse designs bring warehouse's online faster, compress time to launch, and improve production efficiency. Customer testimonials show that users have recovered their investment in software and training in the first year, and often in the first study.
FactoryFLOW is a graphical material handling analysis system that enables engineers to optimise layouts based on material flow distances, frequency, and costs. Warehouse layouts are analysed by using part routing information, material storage needs, material handling equipment specifications, and part packaging (containerisation) information.
- Create material flow and congestion diagrams
- Compute material handling equipment requirements
- Analyze and validate operator walk-paths
- Build tugger routes based upon material requirements
- Design packing strategies for storage areas and transport vehicles
- Reduced material handling costs
- Optimized space utilization of shop floor storage areas
- Reduce non-value added work and minimize indirect labor costs
- Optimized resource utilization and material flow
- Optimized material packing for transportation vehicles

1. Get A Standing Desk
Sitting down all day can not only be bad for your posture and your beach body but makes it too easy to lose momentum. Real estate investing pros will find that getting a standing desk will not only mean less time needed out of the office on the treadmill but also makes you feel more energized and empowered throughout the day which will also shine through over the phone and help you close more deals.
2. Work Out
Few people have accomplished as much as Richard Branson. From airlines to mobile phones to space tourism and gyms he has managed to squeeze a lot out of his time. What can real estate investing pros learn from him to increase productivity? Branson says working out gives him an extra 4 plus productive work hours per day.
3. Eat Right
Real estate investing business owners often find themselves overdoing the lavish business lunches or grabbing junk food to keep fueled. Just make sure you avoid those items that will cause your sugar levels to crash later leaving you sapped of focus. Think 4 Hour Energy and almonds or cucumbers as snacks instead.
4. Take Regular Breaks
Sometimes giving your brain and eyes a brief break from the screen or even grabbing a power nap will help you get back and plough through the tasks ahead faster.
5. Hire Somebody
As the owner of a real estate investing company you absolutely need one assistant if not two. You should be constantly delegating everything you can so get a VA and a project manager and if it pays, a VA for your manager too.
6. Fire Somebody
Frustrated? Maybe you should just fire somebody, get it out of your system and get back to work. It will keep everyone else on their toes. Or maybe there is someone who really deserves it. Who is slowing down your operation or is taking up too much of your time?
7. Automate Updates
Kill the meetings already please! Automate all areas of your real estate investing business, especially updates and progress reports from your team members. Get your hands on a good cloud based project management program so that you have one dashboard to check out for real time updates, wherever you are.

Big news for us so-called "witch hunters"… One of the key whistleblowers who testified before Congress last week voted for Obama twice (2008 and 2012 general elections) and also for Hillary Clinton in a 2008 primary. He is a registered Democrat in Virginia. The Daily Caller reports:
A key Benghazi whistle-blower who has allegedly been punished for speaking out against the administration is a registered Democrat who voted for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The lawyer of Gregory Hicks, the former U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya who testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, confirmed the information to The Daily Caller on Saturday.
Trending: We Are Going Back To Hillary's
According to the lawyer, Victoria Toensing, Hicks voted for Clinton during the 2008 primary, and for then-Illinois Sen. Obama in the 2008 general election. He again voted for Obama in 2012.take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to Freedom Outpost updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime.

"The fact is he is a registered Democrat in Virginia. The fact is he voted for Hilary in the primary and Obama and then again for Obama," Toensing said.
Toensing added that she did not know he was a Democrat until the day before the hearing.
"I'm not interested in that," she said. "I'm interested in government not abusing its powers."
The fact that Hicks was an Obama and Clinton supporter is a key piece of information in regards to the credibility of his testimony. This would certainly be some ammunition to fly in the face of mainstream liberal media sources like The Washington Post who recently published an op-ed entitled "Republicans lead a witch hunt on Benghazi." CNN also ran a piece entitled "Benghazi: Search for truth or witch hunt?" Most recently on Sunday's "Face the Nation," Illinois Senator Dick Durbin dropped this line again as a concluding point to a quick rant, "and yet the witch hunt continues."
If you actually want to take the time to "Google" the phrase "Benghazi witch hunt" you will find enough articles to make a quite extensive digest. If you were to print them all you might not need much firewood next winter. This seems to be the catch phrase from the left to discredit the right at the present time.
Let's look at a definition of "witch hunt" from Thefreedictionary.com:
An investigation carried out ostensibly to uncover subversive activities but actually used to harass and undermine those with differing views.
I fail to see how this definition would apply when a key witness is actually someone who shares the political views of Clinton and Obama. I don't normally have very much good to say about those of the liberal ideology but I would commend Mr. Gregory Hicks for being one of the good guys. I will likely never agree with many of his political ideologies but I very much respect one thing that he and I have in common…
We want the truth!
I'd be just as concerned about this issue if a conservative were in the White House and so would Hicks. Do you understand how hard it was for him to come forward? The last thing I'd want to do is throw someone like Rand Paul, for instance, under the bus, but I would do it if it meant uncovering the truth. You have to do it. It's about integrity.
Some things are much more important than where you stand politically. There are still a few people on both sides who think for themselves and as long as we have that, we also have hope for America.Don't forget to Like Freedom Outpost on Facebook, Google Plus, & Twitter.

A former Paralympian has been helping students at Saint John Houghton Catholic Voluntary Academy to understand the barriers facing disabled people.
Workshops are being delivered at the Ilkeston academy to students in Years 7,8 and 9 by Martin Mansell, who won the 100m backstroke at the Seoul Paralympic Games in 1988.
Mr Mansell is a nine times Paralympic medallist having competed in two games, two world, two European championships and 15 other international competitions.
During the sessions students have worked in pairs with one of them being blindfolded and the other one guiding them, talked about the difficulties facing disabled people in their daily routines and looked at the disabled access in school. Mr Mansell also asked students to think about what factors might prevent disabled people from getting involved in their local community.
He discussed discrimination and asked students what they had learnt, what they could do going forward and how they were going to do it.
Student Emily Gilhooly, 13, said: "It's really interesting because it's made us all think about what's involved in doing every day things when you are disabled."
Mr Mansell said: "Whatever they become in the future they need to have a better understanding of disability and how they can change the way it's dealt with. These students might be our architects and transport designers in years to come."

Affordable Health Insurance for Individuals and Families
Having health insurance has always been a wise decision and finding affordable Individual & Family health insurance plans help you manage your health care cost efficiently whenever you need it. Now, under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (also known as ObamaCare or ACA), it is a legal requirement. With few exceptions, all U.S. citizens including children must have a qualifying health care plan that covers a minimum of 10 essential standardized benefits or pay a tax penalty. You cannot be denied coverage or charged a significantly higher premium because of a pre-existing condition or your gender.
Many Americans are covered by policies provided by their employer or union (see Group Health Insurance). Many more, including the self-employed and unemployed, purchase their own health insurance coverage. The Affordable Care Act allows individuals to buy qualifying plans through government-operated exchanges (marketplaces) or in the private market place. Wherever you purchase your plan, your coverage will be provided by a private insurance company and will comply with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. However, you can only apply for available tax credits and subsidies through the federal exchange (HealthCare.gov) or your state exchange; and you can only purchase personal coverage on the government exchanges during open enrollment periods or when you have a qualifying life event.
EINSURANCE partners with the best health insurance companies in the health insurance marketplace and provides affordable private health insurance quotes for individuals and families. Just enter your ZIP code above and we will provide you with health insurance providers in your area. Compare health insurance providers and plans to decide which health insurance policy works best for you.
Premiums may vary depending on the provider and plan you choose. Each state can set the criteria for what insurers can base premiums on. For example, depending on the state you live in, you may be charged a higher premium based on your age, tobacco use, rating area or some other factor. It is crucial to compare different health insurance from top insurance companies and find best plan for you.

Sometimes it's downright difficult to live in Dallas. The heat, pollution, and traffic are out of control. People don't trust the city government. And, darn it, there's just no place to shop. But keep your chin up: There is hope. In the name of research and goodwill, we sacrificed an entire part of an afternoon to search for high-quality outlets for buying essential goods.
We started at Emeralds to Coconuts on Henderson Avenue. A warning, though: If you want to buy emeralds or coconuts, save yourself the trip; the range implied in the shop's name is not inclusive. We weren't sure which items fall between emeralds and coconuts, but we figured it out. A sampling: Oriental soaps, pretty crystal jewelry, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" key chains, Christmas ornaments and other little dangly things, and a whole lot of flax clothing. Our purchase: a very loud silk purse from Nepal.

NHS trusts' overspend is £3bn higher than reported, study claims (The Guardian: 31 August 2017)
NHS trusts in England ended last year with an overspend almost £3bn more than previously reported after temporary funding boosts and one-off savings were stripped out, according to new analysis.
The Nuffield Trust found the actual overspend in 2016-17 was £3.7bn, compared with the £791m reported by NHS regulators, which was already above the £580m maximum sought by health service bosses.
In a report published on Thursday the thinktank also says the NHS faces a "next to impossible" task in hitting the target of ending the current financial year with a deficit of just under £500m.
Sally Gainsbury, a senior policy analyst at the Nuffield Trust and author of the report, said: "The official figures on NHS deficits don't reflect how severe things are for hospitals in England, as the deficits reported include one-off funding boosts or savings that cannot be repeated the following year. Only by looking at the deficit after these have been stripped out can we see the scale of financial challenge facing the NHS – and it is eye-watering."
The report says trusts have succeeded in making billions of pounds of efficiency savings but these have largely been absorbed by inflation and reductions in the tariff paid to them per patient.
Among the items it says helped flatter the financial position of the 238 NHS acute, mental health, ambulance and community services trusts last year were a £1.8bn injection of cash from the emergency sustainability fund and about £300m the report puts down to "accountancy changes".
The thinktank says that although the underlying deficit was reduced to £3.7bn by the end of 2016-17, trusts started the current financial year with a spending gap of £5.9bn because inflation is set to be 2.9%, hitting the NHS with additional costs to the tune of £2.2bn, while the national tariff is increasing by just 0.3%.
Even with a further £1.8bn in extra sustainability funding, the Nuffield Trust says providers will have to make cost savings of £3.6bn or 4.3% of operating costs in 2017-18, whereas the highest level of cost efficiencies managed in the past decade was 3.9%, in 2011....read more
NHS 'leaking millions' in PFI contracts (BBC News: 30 August 2017)
The NHS is "leaking" money to private companies in contracts to build and run hospitals, a report says.
Under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI), companies provide money for new hospitals and then charge annual fees.
The Centre for Health and the Public Interest (CHPI) publication - based on 107 PFI contracts in England - said such companies had made pre-tax profits of £831m in the past six years.
The Department of Health said less than 3% of the NHS budget was spent on PFI.
PFI has always provoked vigorous debate about whether the benefit is worth the long-term cost.
The CHPI argues the money made by private companies could have been spent on patients.
Colin Leys, one of the chairmen of the CHPI, said: "This report shows for the first time the huge amount of taxpayers' money which is leaking out of the NHS through the profits generated by PFI companies.
"Given the extreme austerity in the NHS, where patients are being denied treatment and waiting times for operations are rising, the government needs to take action to stop this leakage of taxpayer funds out of the NHS."....read more
Private firms poised to make another £1bn from building NHS hospitals (The Guardian: 30 August 2017)
Companies that have built NHS hospitals under the private finance initiative have made pre-tax profits of £831m over the past six years and are poised to make almost £1bn more over the next five years.
Large sums that could have been used for patient care have instead gone into the pockets of a handful of PFI companies at a time when the health service is starved of funding, according to the Centre for Health and the Public Interest.
Its analysis, published on Wednesday, found that if the NHS had not been paying pre-tax profits on PFI schemes between 2010 and 2015 inclusive, the deficits in its hospitals would have been reduced by a quarter.
Ambulance call-outs for mental health patients in England soar by 23% (The Guardian: 13 August 2017)
The number of ambulance call-outs for people experiencing mental health problems in England has soared by nearly a quarter in two years.
Data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows paramedics helped over 30,000 more patients (172,799) in crisis in 2016-17 compared with 140,137 in 2014-15, a rise of 23%.
An additional 55,000 hours were spent supporting people with their mental health last year, compared with 2014-15 – up by 32%. In London the time spent rose by 45%, according to the request for information made by the Labour MP Luciana Berger.
Berger, a former shadow minister for mental health, said the numbers were "shocking" but came as no surprise. She accused the government of "dismantling" vital early intervention and prevention services so more people are ending up crisis.
The Labour MP said: "Jeremy Hunt has no other option but to introduce ringfenced budgets for mental health to ensure funding reaches the frontline. The health secretary must take urgent action for the sake of patients and staff."
She added: "Too much money pledged for mental health is not reaching the sector. In the absence of ringfenced budget, funding is being diverted to prop up other areas of the NHS." ... read more
Health inequality gap 'is still growing' in England, new Department of Health data shows (The Guardian: 12 August 2017)
The health gap between rich and poor is growing in England, according to shocking figures compiled by the Department of Health.
Despite government pledges to reduce inequalities in areas such as life expectancy and susceptibility to disability and disease, those living in the most deprived areas of the country run a greater risk of premature death, seeing a child die soon after it is born, and of ending up in hospital as an emergency case. Differing health outcomes for the rich and the poor were identified by Theresa May last year as a "burning injustice".
The health department data shows that in key areas the gap has widened since 2010 after narrowing over the previous decade. Seven years ago life expectancy for men in England's most deprived areas was 9.1 years less than for those in the richest areas. By 2015 the figure had risen to 9.2 years. The equivalent gap for poor women also grew over that time, from 6.8 years to 7.1 years. The stark statistics are contained in the health department's annual report, published this summer.
They have been seized on by David Buck, a senior fellow at the King's Fund health thinktank and a leading expert in public health and health inequalities. Buck told the Observer: "These are shocking figures. It's shocking that we live in a developed country where inequalities in health are so wide and are getting worse.
"For the poorest in the country this is a double whammy of early death and poorer health while still alive. They are going to die younger and are facing 20 more years of life spent in poor health relative to the richest. This should be a wake-up call to ministers."... read more
NHS maternity wards in England forced to close 382 times last year (The Guardian: 8 August 2017)
Maternity wards in England were forced to close their doors 382 times in 2016, according to new figures that have triggered claims of women being "pushed from pillar to post in the throes of labour".
Campaigners warned that expectant mothers could be left in fear of giving birth at the roadside after a wide-reaching freedom of information request found a 70% increase in the number of maternity ward closures over two years.
Research by the Labour party found that 42 hospital trusts had been forced to shut their doors at some point over the last year – 44% of those who responded – with many blaming staff shortages and bed and cot capacity.
Fourteen of them admitted they had shut down more than 10 times, with some taking more than 24 hours to reopen.
In total, there were 382 occasions when units had to close in 2016. This figure is slightly higher than the 375 occasions from the year before, and an almost 70% increase on the 225 in 2014.
The findings triggered an immediate response from campaign groups, who pointed to the government's own maternity policy, which says there should be enough midwives to prevent this happening.
Elizabeth Duff, senior policy adviser at NCT, the UK's largest charity for parents, said: "It's appalling that a shortage of midwives and equipment means that so many units have been closed time and again so that pregnant women are pushed from pillar to post in the throes of labour."... read more
Grantham A&E unit's night closure policy to remain (BBC News: 7 August 2017)
A decision to close a hospital accident and emergency unit overnight has been backed by the government.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) closed Grantham Hospital's unit a year ago because a lack of doctors.
In February, Lincolnshire County Council asked Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to review the decision.
Mr Hunt then called for the Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) review and backed its view the unit should not reopen until it had "sufficient staff".
The county council's Conservative leader Martin Hill described Mr Hunt's decision as a "disappointing result".
"The fear that this 'temporary closure' would be anything but temporary, has proved to be entirely founded", said Mr Hill.
"It is unacceptable that Grantham district has had a substantial change to hospital services for over a year without proper consultation or planning."
ULHT employs about 17 doctors across its three sites in Lincoln, Boston and Grantham, and needs a minimum of 21 to keep all of them open for 24 hours.
The trust's actions led to protests from a campaign group opposed to the closure of the unit from 18:30 to 09:00.... read more
NHS trust sent cancer patient adverts for private clinic (The Guardian: 5 August 2017)
A terminally ill cancer patient has protested after the NHS hospital where she receives palliative therapy included advertisements for a private clinic with her appointment letter.
Ali Schofield, 33, who has secondary breast cancer, said the inclusion of the leaflets for Nova Healthcare was "disgusting" and "distressing". It would make patients believe that NHS care was "second class" and they should pay for private treatment.
"I felt really cold when I saw the leaflet because it suggested that I would have better healthcare if I was to go private," she said. "It offered me access to the latest technologies and made me think: so what am I getting now? It's disgusting. It puts the seed of doubt into you."
Schofield, a lifestyle journalist and collage artist, said she was appalled that the NHS had used her medical records to include promotional material for a private company. She also criticised the fact that posters for Nova have been put on the walls of the oncology unit at St James's University Hospital in Leeds where she goes for her chemotherapy.
Nova, which has a contract with NHS England to provide specialist "gamma knife" radiotherapy, uses the fourth floor of the Bexley Wing at St James's to offer consultations and daycare for private patients, while NHS patients including Schofield receive their treatment on the first floor.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs St James's, has apologised to Schofield and said it would no longer send the leaflets. "Since October 2016 we have sent out around one million letters to patients. Fewer than 1,000 Nova leaflets were included in patient letters," a spokesman said.
The inclusion of the letters appears to be a breach of NHS England guidelines forbidding the practice. They state that: "Trusts that offer private healthcare services should market and promote their private healthcare services completely separately. They should not market or promote these services within their NHS communications to patients and the public, eg appointment letters [and] NHS test results." The trust did not explain why the leaflets had been included in the first place.... read more
'Serious concerns' over new bed occupancy target ahead of winter (The HSJ: 4 August 2017)
Leading clinicians have raised serious patient safety and efficiency concerns about a new 92 per cent bed occupancy benchmark for trusts.
The Royal College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Emergency Medics raised concerns following NHS England and NHS Improvement publishing guidance last month.
The Review of Winter 2016-17 set out several recommendations for the coming winter. It said: "Occupancy levels should be more actively monitored and actions taken to ensure that they remain below 92 per cent, to allow patient flow to be maintained to deliver A&E performance."
RCEM president Taj Hassan told HSJ: "It is extremely concerning that one recommendation seems to revise the safe level of bed occupancy up to 92 per cent. [The college] would have serious concerns about this as a metric of safety and we would be interested in understanding the evidence base behind this thesis.
"Our strong view is that the evidence base all points to 85 per cent as being the safer [and more efficient] level that all systems should be aiming for."
An RCS spokeswoman said: "Patient safety can be assured at higher levels [but] health experts agree, as a measure of average performance, levels should ideally be around 85 per cent for optimum efficiency."
However, the colleges welcomed the national focus on bring down bed occupancy. "At present, hospital overnight bed occupancy is around the 94.5 per cent mark, so bringing it down to 92 per cent would be a step in the right direction," the RCS spokeswoman said.
But they also argued NHS England's official statistics significantly underestimate current bed occupancy rates – a view support by Nuffield Trust research last year. The think tank's report said: "Occupancy at midnight is well below the peak number of beds needed on every day of the week. This highlights the serious limitations of a midnight census [used by NHS England] as a basis for understanding the real demand for beds."... read more
Government cuts 'leave sexual health services at tipping point' (The Guardian: 3 August 2017)
Sexual health services are at "a tipping point" with clinics unable to keep up with demand for tests and treatment, local council leaders have warned.
Central government cuts to local authorities' public health budgets have left sexual health services struggling to cope with a 25% rise in patients seeking help over the last five years, the Local Government Association claims.
People with sexually transmitted infections face longer waits to see a specialist, and efforts to tackle outbreaks of STIs could be hit, the cross-party body says.
Whitehall-ordered cuts of £531m to public health budgets – almost a tenth of the total – "has left local authorities struggling to keep up with increased demand for sexual health services".
The number of people attending sexual health clinics in England grew from 1.94 million in 2012 to 2.46 million last year, a rise of 25%. But the government clawed back £200m of the money it was due to give councils in 2015-16 for public health schemes and is cutting another £331m by 2020-21.
Councillor Izzi Seccombe, chairman of the LGA's community wellbeing board, said: "We are concerned that this will see waiting times start to increase and patient experience deteriorate.
"The reduction in public health funding could also compound problems further and impact on councils' ability to meet demand and respond to unforeseen outbreaks. We cannot tackle this by stretching services even thinner."
The Department of Health's own research shows that every £1 spent on sexual health services, including contraception, saves the public purse £11 in the long-term as a result of fewer unintended pregancies, for example.... read more
Hospital stops children surgery in a bid to improve services (3 August 2017)
Children's surgery will move out of The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital to others "better placed" to provide the specialist care, says the trust which runs the hospital.
The board of The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said the Birmingham hospital will cease providing paediatric surgery by 1 January next year but adds that patients currently awaiting surgery will see "no immediate changes".
The decision follows a report by the Care Quality Commission earlier this year which said the hospital "required improvement" within several areas, including it's services within intensive and critical care.
.... read moreThe Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Statement
The Trust has undertaken a significant amount of work and investment to meet these recommendations, and progress has continued to be made. However, recent external reviews over the last few weeks have reiterated that paediatric inpatient surgery would be better delivered in a hospital setting with access to extensive centralised care facilities at all times.
Jeremy Hunt has repeatedly failed to meet pledges on mental health care (The Guardian: 1 August 2017)
Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, has announced plans to expand mental health provision with a £1.3bn injection that will see thousands of new posts created. This would be welcome news were it not for the fact that so far Hunt has failed to deliver on pledges that could have improved services.
For a start, the Health and Social Care Act (2012) made it unlawful to discriminate between physical and mental health. So far, regardless of whether it's financial budgets or service delivery, mental health services have seen no significant improvement.
Indeed, we have seen the opposite; more than 50% of clinical commissioning groups cut their mental health budgets last year. There has been a trend that when the NHS is under financial strain, mental health budgets get disproportionate cuts. All too frequently we have seen health commissioners raid these budgets to plug growing deficits in the acute hospital sector. Hunt has had ample time to correct the chronic underfunding, and with many mental health organisations struggling with his government's imposed austerity cuts, we would argue that this is too little, too late.
Mental health services are also facing increasing demand. One in four adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any given year. A leaked report by a government taskforce painted a devastating picture of England's mental health services, revealing that the number of people killing themselves is soaring, that three-quarters of those with psychiatric conditions are not being helped and that sick children are being sent "almost anywhere in the country" for treatment. The failure to prioritise and ringfence resources for services has led to a crisis in mental health provision in this country.... read more

Monitors (or item boxes) are special Objects that commonly appear in levels in SRB2. As in the classic Sonic games, these Objects resemble computer monitors or televisions – the designs of the monitors in SRB2 are based on those from Knuckles' Chaotix. If a player breaks a monitor open, they will receive a power-up or bonus (or sometimes a negative effect) from it. However, monitors can only be broken if a player directly spins or jumps (or glides as Knuckles) into them; projectiles and Armageddon Shield blasts will have no effect on these. If the player jumped onto a monitor to break it, they will bounce back upwards off them, allowing the player to break further monitors or enemies afterwards before landing on the ground again (this is known as "Monitor bouncing").
The icon displayed on a monitor usually identifies what effect will be given when it is broken (except in the case of Random Monitors, where the effect is randomised). When the monitor is broken, a secondary "monitor icon" Object will be created that displays this icon and rises into the air to a certain extent – after a short interval, the monitor's power-up or bonus (or otherwise) is awarded to the player via this Object, and the Object itself then disappears.
As in most cases monitors in SRB2 are also solid Objects, it is possible for players to stand and walk on top of monitors if they did not jump or spin to get there. However, if a monitor falls onto a player from above, the player will be crushed and die – in competitive gametypes such as Match and CTF, a player is awarded points if they manage to pop the monitor before it falls on another player.
Monitors in SRB2
- Thing type 400: Super Ring Monitor (10 Rings)
- Thing type 401: Pity Shield Monitor*
- Thing type 402: Attraction Shield Monitor
- Thing type 403: Force Shield Monitor
- Thing type 404: Armageddon Shield Monitor
- Thing type 405: Whirlwind Shield Monitor
- Thing type 406: Elemental Shield Monitor
- Thing type 407: Super Sneakers Monitor
- Thing type 408: Invincibility Monitor
- Thing type 409: Extra Life Monitor
- Thing type 410: Eggman Monitor – A type of monitor used as a hazard; it damages the player who destroyed it.
- Thing type 411: Teleporter Monitor*
- Thing type 412: Random Monitor* – Randomly awards the player one of various powerups.
- Thing type 413: Gravity Boots Monitor*
- Thing type 414: CTF Team Ring Monitor (Red) – Monitor that awards 10 rings only to Red team players; blue team players cannot destroy this.
- Thing type 415: CTF Team Ring Monitor (Blue) – Monitor that awards 10 rings only to Blue team players; red team players cannot destroy this.
- Thing type 416: Recycler Monitor*
- Thing type 418: Score Monitor (1,000 Points)*
- Thing type 419: Score Monitor (10,000 Points)*
* SRB2 does not use these monitor types directly in maps; most appear as special replacements for other monitor types depending on the game mode or gametype being played, while Pity Shield and Gravity Boots Monitors never appear at all in normal gameplay. However, all of these are still available for custom maps to use.
Monitor respawning
When a monitor is broken by a player in Single Player/Co-op, it will remain broken for the duration of the level (or until the player respawns, if in Single Player). Outside these gametypes, monitors can have the ability to automatically respawn after a limited time: the console variable
respawnitem toggles this feature on/off, while
respawnitemtime determines how long it takes for a monitor to respawn after being broken.
Alternatively (outside of Single Player/Co-op), all monitors in a level can be replaced by a single type of monitor or made to not spawn at all: in Competition this is determined by
competitionboxes; in other gametypes this is determined by
Weighted random monitors
In Match and Capture the Flag, a special randomized respawning mechanism is used to ensure a fair distribution of items in the map: Most monitor types in SRB2 can be given the Special or Ambush flag to turn them into weighted random monitors. A weighted random monitor will spawn normally when the map initially loaded, but when it respawns, the monitor type it will respawn as will be picked randomly from a predetermined table, where each monitor type has a fixed respawning probability. There are two types of weighted random monitors: the Strong Random Monitor (or SRM) and the Weak Random Monitor (or WRM).
The Special flag will turn a monitor into a Strong Random Monitor. When a SRM respawns, it will choose one of the following monitors to respawn as:
|Probability (fraction)
|Probability (percentage)
|Whirlwind Shield
|Elemental Shield
|Force Shield
|Attraction Shield
|Armageddon Shield
|Extra Life Monitor
The Ambush flag will turn a monitor into a Weak Random Monitor. When a WRM respawns, it will choose one of the following monitors to respawn as:
|Probability (fraction)
|Probability (percentage)
|Super Sneakers
|Whirlwind Shield
|Elemental Shield
|Force Shield
|Teleporter Monitor
|Recycler Monitor
|Extra Life Monitor
The following types of monitors, none of which can respawn from an SRM or WRM, cannot be turned into weighted random monitors with the Special or Ambush flag:
- Eggman Monitor
- Random Monitor
- Gravity Boots Monitor
- CTF Team Ring Monitor (Red)
- CTF Team Ring Monitor (Blue)
- Score Monitor (1,000 Points)
- Score Monitor (10,000 Points)
Special and Ambush will also have no effect for all custom monitor types.
Custom monitors
| To do
Add a mini-tutorial on setting up a set of states/Object types for a typical monitor
It is possible to make custom monitors for SRB2 with the use of SOCs. To make an Object behave like and be recognised as a monitor, it needs to be given the
MF_MONITOR flag. However,
MF_SHOOTABLE is also needed to allow the Object to be destroyed by a player.
MF_SOLID is generally also given to monitors so that they can be stood on when the player is not spinning/jumping onto them.
The following Object properties control the monitor's behavior:
DeathState: When a monitor is popped by a player, it will go to this state to trigger the monitor's death sequence; ideally this state should use
A_MonitorPopfor the standard effects for a monitor.
DeathSound: Used by
A_MonitorPopfor the monitor's "pop" sound.
Speed: Used by
A_MonitorPopto determine the Object type of the monitor remains spawned; usually this is set to
MT_MONITOREXPLOSION. The
Massproperty of this Object type in turn determines the Object type of the explosion graphic also spawned (for
MT_MONITOREXPLOSIONthis is
MT_EXPLODE, for example).
Damage: Used by
A_MonitorPopto spawn the Object type to use as the monitor's "icon" – this object is typically expected to have the
MF_BOXICONflag so it can rise up into the air until it reaches a set height above the ground, and ultimately run the monitor's respective action. The icon Object's
Damageproperties determine the vertical speed and maximum height of the icon's rising respectively.

Featherston homicide inquiry: Statement from the Jones family
Featherston homicide inquiry: Statement from the Jones family
Three days ago a piece of this family was taken from us and we have been left devastated.
Glen loved his family and friends and will be especially missed by his nieces and nephews.
He was part of the fabric of the Featherston community and lots of people looked out for him.
We know that many people around town had a soft spot for 'Jonsey' and will sympathise with our grief.
The support we have received over the last few days has been overwhelming and we sincerely want to thank you all for that.
We are hugely grateful to the large numbers of people who have been in contact with the Police and provided information.
We appreciate that the media has supported the appeals for information and respected our privacy.
As a family, we ask that they continue to respect our privacy so we can heal without undue attention.
• Media are able to attend the funeral on Friday but are asked not to approach family members as they enter or leave.
• The family has also requested that media remain outside the hall.

- The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II by Denise Kiernan, and The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal 1870-1914 by David McCullough - Although united by unnecessarily long subtitles, these books have a great thing in common: the satisfying true story of what Americans can do, both individually and as a nation, when called upon to do it to achieve some greater good. The first book uses the words and stories of two dozen women lured or hired to Oak Ridge, Tennessee to perform tasks from nursing to janitorial work, secretarial duties to physics lab tech jobs during the so-called Manhattan Project. At Oak Ridge, a series of massive plants was built to enrich plutonium eventually used in the making of the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of course, none of them knew it at the time, and it could be argued that the bombings only marginally accelerated V-J Day, but hindsight is 20-20, and it's also easy to argue, besides, that the Bomb nonetheless saved hundreds of thousands of Japanese and American lives.
This book doesn't much concern itself with that, it is mostly about the wartime lives of the women the author interviewed at some remove--their country called on them, and they responded as best they could. Their stories are dramatic, ordinary, at times comedic, and at times tragic, but make for a great read. For many years, I took my school's seventh graders to Oak Ridge every spring as part of a week-long science trip focused on "Energy". The Museum of Science and Energy had an exhibit about the lives of those who Built the Bomb, but it merely scratched the surface of the story this book plumbs so well.
David McCullough, who later became one of America's best, and best-known, biographers, wrote the biography, so to speak, of the Panama Canal in the mid-seventies, when it had become newsworthy once again. Like the Manhattan Project, it is about a country's strategic needs and willingness to surmount almost impossible odds to meet them. The country was France. Well, for thirty years or so, until they had ultimately to admit they couldn't do the job. I'm sure we all know the famous palindrome "a man, a plan, a canal, Panama." That man was Ferdinand de Lessop, who had triumphantly engineered the Suez Canal a few years earlier. He took on the Isthmian canal project as a money-making venture for ordinary Frenchmen, who ultimately lost their investments because of poor decision-making and dogged persistence in wrong ideas by de Lessop, his son, and his board.
What I previously knew about the Panama Canal was mostly wrong--though TR deserves some credit for it, he gets considerably more than he deserves; while American medicos eliminated malaria, they did so by continually fighting their higher-ups, conventional wisdom, and the US Congress, none of whom believed mosquitoes were responsible for its spread; while the US did indeed have a treaty involving the canal territory's return after X number of years, that treaty was with Colombia, who no longer controlled the territory by the time the US actually started to build.
And that's just for starters. Great book. Well, two great books!
- J. Edgar Hoover: The man and the Secrets by Kurt Gentry - As far as I can tell, this book is exhaustively researched, and yet does not reveal any of the salacious scuttlebutt I was expecting in such a thick, detailed, and thorough book, about J. Edgar's rumored transvestitism, homosexuality or fetishism. Disappointing as it is, I have to conclude that it turns out not every homophobe is a closeted gay. Still, there are revelations aplenty about this foul man and his iron grip on American law and "morality" for the nearly forty years he ran the FBI until his death in 1972. He personally destroyed the lives of many good men and women, while supporting the worst kinds of cretins and elevating them to rhe hallways of power. And he still impacts American culture in negative ways. For example, even though the American Communist Party was always a tiny, ineffectual group of aesthetes and wannabes, their disproven approach still serves as a rallying point for conservatives to this day. Though his illegal surveillance techniques were eschewed in the seventies and eighties, the dramatic news of programs like Echelon and Prism seem to bore Americans, in part because Hoover's FBI (or rather the revelations about it) has somewhat normalized them.
- The Hornet's Sting: The Amazing Untold Story of World War II Spy Thomas Sneum by Mark Ryan - Thomas Sneum indeed was an amazing spy; sadly, he was a poor excuse for a human being. He abandoned his wife and daughter, he threatened his biographer with a loaded pistol, he left his brother to freeze to death, he was a misogynist and all-around asshole. However, he wasn't a coward. The key thing abouut him, that makes the other stuff less important, is that he performed several feats of amazing bravery or derring-do to assist materially in the Allied cause during WWII. Sneum was Danish, and got involved in the war effort after his homeland crumbled under Nazi power without even testing itself. Near his home, the Germans installed a new kind of radar; he took pictures of the installation, and unable to provide the photos to the British any other way, he and a buddy rebuilt an old Hornet Moth, filled it with extra fuel cans, and flew it across the north Atlantic, climbing out onto the wing to refuel it along the way. Wow! That was just the beginning of his remarkable tale, which is replete with British spy agency bumbling, double-agent shenanigans, assassination by crossbow, and seducing a mother and her daughter. Long derided as a double agent, Sneum was ultimately exonerated and rewarded with the King's Medal for Courage.

Gapchinska is very popular back at home and has several galleries in Ukraine and Russia but has no intension to break into Europe just yet. She sells only her personal work in her galleries, but now she expanded her business into creating bags, towels and other merchandise.
Quite a lot of people say that her work is too commercial. Well, frankly speaking, I don't care! I love it! And what is wrong with being commercial? Being commercial means being likeable! And if she has some business sense to match her artistic talent – that's fantastic!
I hope her little angels will make you smile!

Home > Ask the Advocate > 10 Tips for a Successful School Year by Pat Howey
Question: Help! School is starting. I want to make sure I have done my homework so this year is better than last year.
Answer: You need to view your role as your child's "case manager." (Learn more about "The Parent as Project Manager" in Chapter 3 of Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy).
1. Help Your Child Deal with Transitions.
2. Reread your child's IEP.
3. Meet with your child's teacher(s) to discuss your child's special needs.
4. Take extra copies of your child's IEP to the meeting with the teacher(s).
5. Make a List of Important Things About Your Child .
6. Prepare to Deal with Potential Problems Early.
7. Resolve Old Concerns and Issues.
8. Get a New Assessment. Consider getting your child's skills tested very early in the school year. Where are your child's skills on standardized educational achievement tests? Use these scores as baseline data. You can compare these scores with scores obtained at the end of the year to measure your child's progress. (See Chapter 8, Your Child's Evaluations, in Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy).
9. Go to your school's Open House. In addition to giving you another chance to meet with your child's teachers (and make a good impression), teachers often explain their classroom rules during Open House. When you attend, you have a chance to see if your child may have trouble understanding the teachers' rules. You will also be in a better position to explain these rules to your child.
10. Get a bound notebook. Use the notebook as a "contact log" to send messages to the teachers. Write a sentence of two to the teacher(s) every day. Do not make your child the bearer of messages about problems at school. Make an extra copy of your log often in case the notebook is lost.
Have a great school year!

As I go through your sweet fabric stash to pull fabric that might work out for Project Run and Play. One word, Nostalgia. It hit me so hard that had to take a break from working through it and write this down.
The hard part is where to start? I guess humor is always good. I love when you reposted this the other day on Facebook it made me smile and I laughed because I am pretty sure Slim Jim and Dad both have had a fair amount of patience with our fabric stashes over the years.
|facebook via. Sew News
After sorting through varying colors/types of lace, satin and organza I was so pleased to reflect back and remember all the beautiful and timeless things you have made for the members of our family. And because of your vision I was inspired and had the drive to make some elegant things with your guidance.
Then coming upon the swimsuit material I remembered the running shorts you would make for my Hersey Track Relay team every year when we went to state track. We were always excited to see what the design would be for that year.
|First bag is Satin and Organza from my Senior Prom Dress (30 yard one)
I Love you and thank you for all the hours you spent on me (whether that was sewing, cheering at sporting events or being my mom)!
P.S. In the future this is how I think you should sort your scraps in the future:
1. Fabric large enough to make children's clothing out of.
2. Fabric that would make nice flowers or bows. And only keep enough that you would actually do it. In large enough sections that they would be useful for doing so.
3. Cut off/discard any scraps that are smaller than 1 inch in height/width.

Why Automatic Car Wash in Australia ?
Biggest advantage for an automatic wash is that the fact that most will take only 5-10 minutes to complete. This type of car wash is well-liked at gas stations and different freelance car wash facilities. You decide on your wash, drive up to the conveyer belt, and place your car in neutral. You're then forced into a tunnel. Brushes and hoses head to work for a couple of minutes, your car gets a pleasant rinse, and then you're on your way. There may be a collection of blow dryers at the top of the tunnel, or maybe an attendant with a chamois waiting to dry off your car.
Advantages of an AUTOMATIC car WASH
Time — if you're in a rush, using an automatic car wash can help you save a few minutes and hours.
Ease of Use — it's simple. Push a few buttons, pay, and let the car wash do the work.
Automatic car washes save water, reduce ground water pollution, preserve your car's paint and finish, and help to retain the resale value of your vehicle.
CONS of an AUTOMATIC car WASH
Detail — if you're the sort who needs to form certain each detail of your car is spotless, an automatic wash might not be for you. While it's quick, you may be left with some bugs, dirt, or water spots at the top.
Breakdowns — you mostly run the chance of 1 or a lot of wash tunnels breaking down, which may because traffic jams on nice days.
Damage to color Job — counting on the vehicle and also the kind of material employed in the brushes of the automobile wash, you'll notice some scratches on your paint job once running the car through the wash.
Automatic Touchless Car Wash
This type of car wash is compared with the automated car wash. The most distinction is that your car remains stationary throughout the wash, and also the machine uses streams of water to scrub your vehicle rather than brushes. This will prevent from potential dings and scratches caused by different automatic car washes.
