But the government does not get involved in what meaningful use of onboard flight instruments are…they let the pilots and technical folks determine what is the safest most usable and efficient methods for flying. Right now we have EHR vendors that ONLY care about certification of their Meaningful use products and could care less about efficiency usability safety or security. So we have a huge disconnect there. Plus patients are NOT customers. The doctor patient relationship is more like a student teacher relationship, it is uneven on purpose, there has to be trust and connection and an overriding purpose to do what is RIGHT not want the customer wants, and we are not on an even field on purpose. If we paid teachers on what students' satisfaction scores, every teacher would give out all A's and no homework and goof off all day. Same with physicians, to have patients grade satisfaction could cause physicians to give unnecessary tests on patients requests, boatloads of narcotics, or other things to satisfy the patient but completely unsafe and unnecessary. Be wary of the 5 star hospitals and doctors. There are times you cannot give the quadruple bypass patient more pastrami for lunch or their pick of high power narcotics or not telling them they are actually too fat for surgery. There is a BIG misconception that patients are customers. They are not. They are patients and we are doctors. Sure there is some need for feedback but not everyone will be satisfied. I also feel if we are doing payment by satisfaction scores, then we should rate EHR vendors, CMS for their ability to answer claim questions and support providers and patients, Congress on their scores, if they are all lower than 5 star, then they ALSO get a 30 % pay cut. Only seems fair. Again be wary of comparing medicine to other industries, it is unique and its about time people realize that.

The Journey to Value-Based Care: Lessons Learned from Aviation
By David Nace, MD
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and healthcare reform have impacted providers in all aspects, from the way they are and will be paid to how they engage patients. To meet the deadlines and demands of an industry shifting to value-based care (VBC), physicians must change their thinking from independent to team-oriented in order to succeed in this new world.
VBC is empowering an evolution within the overall healthcare community, especially amongst physicians. This is enabling a focus on delivering high-quality of care to patients. The Meaningful Use and EHR certification programs have helped all provider organizations get closer to the more meaningful use of information technology, but the requirements also pose many challenges for providers.
These challenges should not be met with resistance. The physician community should embrace the call for change. Similar to the revolution of the aviation industry, reform required them to adapt to new methods of communication and technology to ensure safer flights.
Traditionally, physicians are independent and competitive in nature. They didn't go through rigorous selection and testing over nearly eight years of higher education to merely coast by – they have an innate drive to be successful and help people. Value-based care, in theory, plays to their personality traits and gives them the motivation to achieve even higher goals.
However, physicians have a hard time trusting data or measures that they do not understand, especially when their evaluation is out of their control and input. For example, a 2014 survey of 4,000 physicians found 78 percent reported patient satisfaction ratings moderately or severely affected their job satisfaction and 28 percent considered quitting their job or leaving the medical profession.
To add to this statistic, most organizations do not have the appropriate communication, technologies, and data collection sources and processes put in place to understand the measurements being imposed on them. To tackle this challenge, hospital executives and physicians need to improve physician communications and transparency in regards to measurement.
Pilots faced a similar disconnect during the 1980s. Training a pilot occurred in an apprenticeship model — you learn from a "master" and through them learn their personal techniques and strategies. It really was a "master craftsman" mentality of mentorship.
This method of training and learning lead to a variations in practice and high accident and death rates associated with aviation. The practice was not based on teamwork or leveraging technology for standard operating procedure. There were no Global Positioning System (GPS) and Cockpit Resource Managements (CRM) utilized – it was all based on the techniques and approach of pilots. To understand the technologies imposed on them and to improve quality of flight, the way pilots were taught changed to a team-based approach that focused heavily on communication and transparency, data, and standard operating procedures.
There is a similar revolution coming to the world of medicine. Many of the physicians of tomorrow are beginning to prepare through team-based, information driven training. Young physicians in training are being proactive in understanding the methodologies and technologies of today and starting grass root movements — for instance, Primary Care Progress — to inform and inspire newcomers to the industry. Medical students are increasingly being trained in groups (versus one-on-one) to leverage the concept of teamwork and to better understand the evolving healthcare industry and their role in the transformation.
Change is inevitable in any organization. New rules, methods, and technologies will always cause a shift. These transformations should not and cannot be met with resistance, but with an open mind, as everyone needs to work together toward the end goal.
Pilots needed to adapt and alter their training and methodologies during flight to fly in a safer, more efficient manner. Similarly, providers must do the same with value-based care. The more collaboration, the smoother the ride will be.

John Terry has joined Villa. Dave Woodhall talks morality and duplicity.
Well, it's happened and we've seen John Terry in a Villa shirt. A couple of months ago it would have seemed outlandish, even now it doesn't look right. But it's happened, and we can only await the ultimate outcome.
Some Villa supporters aren't happy with the signing and they've every right to protest. As I said last week, he's not the most likable of individuals and you can argue that the money spent on his contract, even if it is only for twelve months, could have been better spent elsewhere. One thing Villa don't seem to need is much doing to what was last season one of the best defences in the Championship. We'll have to see whether Steve Bruce intends Terry to be a mainstay of the team or if he's going to be the sort of player that can be brought on in the later stages of a game when the side are under pressure – a role that Joleon Lescott could have done for the past two years if he'd been bothered.
I said pretty much all that I could say about Terry last week and my opinion hasn't changed much since then. I don't like him, and now he's ours I wish him all the best. As expected, he's said all the right things (when was the last time a Villa player said with a straight face that their aim was to win the league?) and now he has to do them.
This signing has bright up something that I've long held – no matter what team you support,football fans tend to have double standards and at Villa we're no different. We've cheered for drug addicts, woman beaters, drunk drivers and assorted hell-raisers. The Premier League is as morally-bankrupt and avaricious as it's possible to be, yet Villa's aims in the coming season will be solely about getting back in to it. We have a gambling company as a new shirt sponsor, our kits are made by a company with links to trophy hunting and the conditions of all football shirt manufacturers have long since been a subject of controversy.
We're currently being bankrolled by an owner who made his money in China, a country infamous for human rights abuse and poor working conditions. Before him we had Randy Lerner, lauded when he was spending a large chunk of the family fortune on scarves, coaches and Marlon Harewood. Nobody seemed too worried that the family fortune came in the main from peddling credit cards to some of the poorest sections of American society.
I don't claim that my particular moral standards are superior to those of anyone else. We all have our line in the sand; for some John Terry crosses that line, for others he doesn't. Whether or not he does have particularly entrenched racist views, or any at all, is a question that probably only Terry knows the answer to. Footballers are a breed apart; if he had the choice of spending time with me, or any other white Villa supporter, or a black team-mate I'd be very surprised if Terry didn't gravitate towards his fellow multi-millionaire.
If Jonathan Kodjia accepts Terry in the Villa team without a second thought, should the rest of us be outraged on Kodjia's behalf? Paul McGrath was happy enough with the signing and what's good enough for the greatest player any of us have ever seen should be good enough for us all. Or maybe not.
So many questions, and we'll only know the answers next May. I'm still trying to get my head round the fact that last season seemed to have ended about a fortnight ago and next week we'll be playing our first pre-season friendly.

I am still getting a kick out of editing the Australian comics wiki HAYASE which is probably linked to the library course I completed last year. Before this however I had been intimidated editing wikis fearing I would get it wrong or step on someones toes. I thought I would compile a few tips for the beginner to hopefully demystify the whole thing
For starters anyone can edit pages you just have to sign up first, this is so moderators can keep track of who has done what changes.
It helps to make yourself familiar with the 'Formatting' page found in the 'Help' link in the sidebar. This tells you how to mark up to achieve things like bold, headings or bullet points etc.
Another help page in the 'Help' section is the page on 'Links', although you can get by without looking at it as regular 'http' type links work as hypelinks automatically without formatting.
Then lastly log in every now and again and check out the recent changes page, also in the side bar. this will tell you what changes have been made recently and by whom. Looking at this may give you ideas of things that you want to add or you may have information relating to the new content.
So don't be afraid to play around with it, you can't break it or muck it up irrevocably!

So remember that time I wrote about how I thought the Black Rock Shooter TV anime had potential despite the rather crappy OVA? Yeah, the staff was just announced for it, and now I don't feel stupid for saying that.
See, my major concerns were that the writing would be as weak as it was in the OVA, and that it wouldn't quite deliver on the action front. My fears weren't exactly put to rest with the reveal that the battles would be CG, and that it would only be 8 episodes long. I'm still not too sure how strong the writing would be, but as it turns out, the script is being handled by Mari Okada, the scriptwriter for Toradora, a series that I am dearly in love with, and those CG battles? They're being directed by someone who is known for his sheer energy and bombast when it comes to pretty much anything. I am of course referring to the director of Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Hiroyuki Imaishi.
Let me reiterate. Hiroyuki Imaishi, the man whose series directorial debut was Gurren Lagann, which is regarded as one of the best action anime of all time and which still has a rabid fanbase. The man whose most dividing show, Panty & Stocking (which I really enjoyed), still had some of the craziest moments in anime in years, and was still highly original. I realise this isn't really his show, and that he has no input in anything beyond the battles, but wow, the action will almost definitely kick ass.
It was a tad upsetting when he left Gainax (But he started up his new studio, that should be good), as he's come to represent a large part of their modern image, and, besides Evangelion (obviously), Gurren Lagann is usually the series people think of when they think Gainax. But seriously, this is pretty much the one thing that would bump up my interest in Black Rock Shooter from "vaguely hopeful" to "must watch". Ordet pulled off something incredible here, going from Yutaka Yamamoto to Hiroyuki Imaishi. That is amazing.
That said, this presents something of a problem, I'm not too sure how I'll react to the series as a whole. Will I let it coast by with a poor script (which as I've said, might not happen this time) if the action makes up for it? If the CG looks bad, how much of Imaishi's skill will shine through that? How exactly will I react if the battles turn out bad?
While the potential for the series to be good just got bumped up by a huge degree, the potential for it to disappoint increased with it. Ordet, I'll place my faith in you one more time. Please, please, please don't let me down, you've got me and many others interested.
[As a side note, due to problems with my computer, I'll need to send it in for repairs. This may affect this weeks episodic posts on my end, but should be sorted out before that if I'm lucky, and should at the latest be fixed before next weekend. Here's hoping all goes well.]

Massive or sudden weight loss, obesity, hormonal problems, pregnancy, childbirth, or previous surgery can lead to various problems of the abdominal wall, that may affect the skin and the underlying fatty tissue.
Stretch marks appear on the surface. In addition to the aesthetic disadvantages, these deformities can cause skin diseases, functional complaints, or spinal and psychological disorders.
The concept of Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) involves various interventions carried out in all layers of the abdominal wall (skin, adipose tissue, muscle), during which all the problems are solved by restoring the original state.
If the skin is not able to retract to its original state after massive weight loss or pregnancy, it remains flabby, sometimes like "Dog-Ears". In this case, the procedure can only be performed when the weight loss period is completed, or one year after childbirth – since spontaneous improvement might happen until then.
Skin tightness is decreasing over time. This may be accompanied by abdominal wall loosening. Muscle fibers of the abdominal wall often become disconnected, and umbilical hernia is not rare either.
Occasionally, in addition to the loosening of the skin large amount of fat accumulates, a large part of which can be removed finally during the procedure. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is also a perfect solution when the skin does not adjust to the new body shape after a strong weight loss program.
All these problems can be treated with modern plastic surgery methods. The goal is the tightening of the abdominal wall, and restoring the whole abdomen's original shape. Stretch marks can only be eliminated by this method.
We remove the excess skin and fat layer, while strengthening the muscles of the weakened abdominal wall if needed.
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia, it takes about one hour and a half.
An incision is made in the lower abdomen, in the bikini line, and extended in the direction of the hip bone both ways. Usually, there is a round incision around the navel, too. Dissection of the abdominal wall skin is high up to the ribs depending on the used technique.
In our clinic, we leave the smallest wound surface possible with high dissection only in the middle (above the straight abdominal muscles). On the edges (near oblique abdominal muscles) we use a tissue-saving technique of relaxing the connective tissue fibers. After tightening the lifted tissues, the excess is removed. The navel is brought out and fixed on a new place. Finally comes the removal of the excess skin, and the abdominal wall is sutured in the middle if necessary. We pull down the tightened skin in the lower abdomen and fix there with stitches.
If there was an incision around the navel, it will be fixed in its new place on the surface as well. The scar is designed to be covered by bikini or underwear. One or two so-called drains are always needed after Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) to lead away the accumulated serum, or blood. These can be removed after one day or two in general.
At the end of abdominal plastic surgery, compression bandage or a corset belt is applied. Ideally, the scar fades into a soft, thread-thin white line. Stitch removal after 2 weeks, but the wound healing process takes six months to one year.
Our patients usually spend 24 to 48 hours in the hospital. We help to organize home care, as it is very important to follow the medical instructions. Special "tummy tuck dress", corset belt or trousers are recommended for 4-6 weeks. This is particularly important after suturing the abdominal wall, since prevents straining of the scars until the internal scarring completes.
As Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) involves a rather huge body area, we prescribe antibiotics – and painkillers, if necessary. Drain removal after 1-2 days, after which the patient is discharged home with an escort. Skin sutures are generally removed after 2 weeks.
The result can be seen immediately, but the final aesthetic result only shows a few months after the surgery. The scar is invisible in both lingeries and bikini. However, it is essential to ensure that UV rays do not reach the scar for a year after surgery, because sunbathing of the incision area may lead to aesthetic deterioration.
Major physical strain and sports should be avoided for at least 8 weeks.
Complications, like with any other surgery, may include serum formation, inflammation or bruising. Very rarely – mostly with high-fat tissues – wound healing problems can occur. Injury of the superficial skin nerves might cause temporary sensory troubles. Thickened (hypertrophic) or keloid scar is also a rare complication, that occur much later.

Concerning my combined surgery circumferential abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, arm and thigh plasty I will attach some photos as I would like a specific plan. Please could you explain the costs of the next few things. How much is the anaesthesia? I don't understand why there is an extra payment for anaesthesia for combined? What is the reason for this? How much is it for liposuction? If it is per area then how many areas are you suggesting? Both arms, both thighs, waist, lower back are 7 areas. I don't think I will require lipo on my bum. Could you explain to me the total costs and areas please?
How do you charge for hospital stay. This is the first clinic I've encountered that is charging for the usual 1 or 2 night stay? My boyfriend will be coming with me and I would like to not pay for both of us. Why is the second night stay not included in the procedure?

Dear Doctor Pataki,
I am sending you photos of my abdomen. I had two liposuctions earlier this year, and as you can see the effect is very bad. Now the tummy is not straight and has many lumps under the skin. I wants to make my tummy soft again and fix the bellybutton placement, as it is not straight.
What would you recommend ? Tummy tuck or liposuction?
Could you please provide me with a consultation?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Doctor,
I would like to know if I could have an abdominoplasty and a breast augmentation surgery supported via national insurance. This was recommended by my radiologist during my pregnancy due to change in appearance. I had 30 kg extra weight, my skin got very loose, my breasts are really small, I have really low self esteem and even my husband left me. I would like to move on and meet others but this is impossible with the current state of my body. I feel frustrated even when I see the doctor. Once I used to be admired and now I have absolutely none of this. All I want is a decent relationship and a pleasant appearance even if I have a baby boy. Currently I am unemployed but before I go back to working in health care, I would like to have these corrective surgeries done (hopefully for an acceptable price). I am a 33-year old mum from Budapest. I would be most grateful if somebody could get in touch with regards of the process of applying for a procedure.
Thank you for your answer in advance!

Dear Dr. Pataki,
When I gave birth to my baby I was 80 kg and beforehand I was only 47kg. Currently, I am 54 kg and my height is 159 cm. My skin has become very loose on my abdomen and I might have hernia. I am not sure if there is a way of surgical correction?. Would my skin become like it used to be? Could the loose skin and fat be removed? I have a little abdominal apron, I had a Caesarian section. Currently I look like I was 5 months pregnant. I gave birth to my baby a year ago and I discussed my abdomen with my doctor on the 6-week check up and he said that my tummy was big because it was filled with air. Unfortunately, my breasts have changed a great deal after my pregnancy; they feel like empty bags now.
With many thanks,

Master's in English Composition in the United StatesCreate Account
Best Master's in English Composition in the United States
Language in general is complex, and it actually changes a person's brain to try to learn more than one language. Speaking language and writing language might seem similar, but they have different skill sets. English is a complex language that, in addition to following its own rules, seems to take or borrow from several other languages as well. Writing in English is another matter entirely. Some people earn Bachelor's degrees in English to help people understand it better. For those who wish to influence and understand better writing in English, pursuing a Master's in English Composition in the United States is an easy next step. This type of program is available at many elite universities in the US, including:
- Cornell University
- Boston University
- Creighton University
- Emerson College
- California State University, Fresno
- University of Alaska – Anchorage
- University of Idaho
What Is a Master's in English Composition?
Composition is the structure of a written piece, which may technically allude to writing or music. English composition references writing in the English language. This type of degree program examines theory, ideas, and famous literature composed in English from ancient history, to the modern era. Most programs like this culminate in earning a Master's of Arts, which requires a thesis, field study, or research project for completion. Courses that students might encounter include:
- Pedagogical Grammar
- Integrated Writing
- Research Composition
- Composition Theory
It is beneficial to have a foundation in liberal arts with a Bachelor's degree in English or a related field. Most Master's programs at US universities require students to first earn an undergraduate degree. When applying to a postgraduate program, students also need to submit scores from graduate school entrance examinations such as the GRE. English is the primary language of the US, so international students need to prove they have a high level of English proficiency. There are many different official proficiency tests available, such as IELTS and TOEFL.
Many thesis-based degree programs are available online as well as on campus. This is beneficial for students who live far away from campus or need to work while attending school. It also makes it possible for those well established in their careers to earn a degree to enhance their prospects. Some universities offer campus-only degrees. If you require distance learning options, research the available programs thoroughly to find one that will meet your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Getting a Master's in English Composition?
English is a complex language, which becomes even more evident when you study it from a second language perspective. As with most languages, the written language follows its own complex set of rules that spoken language often disregards. When you study English composition at a university in the US, you learn about the written English language in its native setting, so to speak. The faculty at universities tend to be experts in their field. Universities also provide students with access to seminars, job placement services, internships, and other beneficial resources.
Whether or not you pursue a career in the field of English composition, earning a Master's degree also has its benefits. Individuals who earn postgraduate degrees tend to earn a higher salary over their lifetime than those without. The additional education makes you stand out to employers and may help you to qualify for even better positions.

Fitness is an important aspect of good health at every stage in life. Regardless of your age, it is important that you have a regular fitness routine to help keep you as healthy as possible. See what suggestions given here can help you on the journey to increasing your fitness level.
No matter what your gender happens to be, you should still do strength training as part of your exercise routine. You don't have to worry about bulking up and looking like a body builder unless you actively try for that result. Those types of builds don't happen overnight and a casual person won't achieve those builds.
Once you have embarked on a new fitness routine, you may be tempted to overdo it. To build your strength and stamina, you should push yourself only slightly more each time you go into your chosen activity. Stretching afterwards is key to ensuring you protect the muscles you are building.
Set goals. Having something you're working toward makes the exercise worthwhile. Whether you want to fit into a dress, run a marathon or look great at a reunion, setting goals helps you to see a light at the end of the exercise tunnel and helps you to focus on that goal.
You can work your back out harder with a little different hand placement. While you are doing lat pull-downs, instead of wrapping your thumbs around the bar, place them alongside your index fingers on top. Doing this will make your back work harder because your arm muscles are doing less work.
You should change your fitness routine periodically so that you continue to benefit from exercising. If you use the same routine for too long your body becomes used to it and the benefits start to decrease. Adding a new exercise can also be fun and keep you from getting bored with your workouts.
One of the most effective ways to increase your swimming speed is to fully develop your ankles' flexibility. Think of your feet as flippers, which must be able to extend and flex as you propel yourself through the water. Before your water workout, sit down and grab your feet, flexing them away and from your body and holding each position for one minute.
A vital fitness tip is not to exercise when you're sick. Your body needs to use all of it resources to fight off an illness. It's unlikely that you will add muscle to your frame or have the stamina for a workout while you're under the weather. So, halt your workouts until you have recovered. In the meantime, eat well, and get lots of sleep.
When working out, a great tip to recover quicker from a brutal workout is to lightly exercise the same muscles the next day. You should use a weight that is around twenty percent of the max weight you can lift. Perform two sets of 25 reps. Doing this will send more blood and nutrients into the muscles, which will aid in their recovery.
These ideas will help you to figure out ways that you can raise your level of fitness, regardless of where you are starting from. You are certain to find that your entire outlook will change for the better as you become more physically fit. The choice is yours to feel better today.

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret here!
Wot a super day! It started off with The Missus getting up very early this morning. You see it is the Master Class today and she had to get all the tables set up and all the stuff ready for the ladies to sling the glue and glitter about!
That means we were woken early by the banging and crashing of all her boxes full of stuff being loaded into the car! Poor Old Two Legs tried putting his head under the pillow but the noise still got through and in the end he had to get up!
Well, you know the result of getting up too early? Yes, that's right, it's still dark outside!
Although it wasn't really dark, OTL was playing with the camera and made it look like it felt, too early!
|We don't do early mornings!
Being a kind sort he decided to leave her snoozing and just take young Eric instead.
|It's strange not having her here to boss me about!
|OK, Who Did That!
Eric was playing about and told us that he was from Royal Stock and when he looks in the mirror he can see his Royal Bearing!
|Is this Royalty or wot?
Lunchtime the tide was in and I managed to get a quick dip in the water, Sooooper!
|Oooooooooh! This feels good!
After some anti-inflammatory pills it seems to be working. I supose it was a bit like when I had a bad leg from catching it on the rocks!
|Yo! OTL! I've missed seeing you!
|I've been in swimming!
Sunday tomorrow, with a bit of luck we will get a lay in and the sun will be up when we go out for a walk!
See you tomorrow!
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

text: Hi David and Kim, Thank you David for putting this into context. If we want this to be done with the inheritance/template way (specifically the SelectBaseClass template, oh and other names are welcome, InjectOptionalBase?), then I see two options, so I implemented both so you can compare and pick a favourite. They both have exactly identical semantics: they check for the existence of an optional class to inject to the class hierarchy, and check that the inheritance isn't fishy (the optional class for specialization must be a subclass of the required class for generalization). I think it all comes down to reusability vs code size. Approach 1. "Reusability Maximum": Build SelectBaseClass in terms of reusable components resembling boost/C++11 as much as possible. (Note: Since Kim wanted IsBaseOf to require Derived to be complete (defined) to mimic other libraries, I now force a compiler error if parameters are incomplete as per request and instead use her proposal for checking if classes are defined, thanks for that contribution) Pros: 1) Many reusable metafunctions that can be reused in other contexts (for instance automatic closure specialization), and I believe we will have to include them sooner or later anyway. 2) Since they comply very closely with the C++11 standard, it will be easy to make a transition once all compilers support this some time in the distant past. Cons: 380 LoC template infrastructure, including testing, for a perceivably small application (if not reused in the future). Approach 2. "Code Minimum": Get the same SelectBaseClass, but with minimal dependencies. Only 20 LoC for the necessary metafunction, some more for IsSame used only for testing purposes, and 156 LoC in total for the template infrastructure, making it much lighter. Pros: Minimal amount of code for the change (less than half). Cons: No reusable metafunctions for the future which we quite likely will need later. I have attached the two solutions in this email so you can have a look and tell me which direction you want me to go before making a final webrev to make everyone happy. Personally I like approach 1 better but if it is concerning to commit too much code and there are strong opinions about this, I'm happy with approach 2 as well. Appendix with code for minimal implementation with no dependencies: template <class Optional, class Required> class SelectBaseClass { typedef char yes[1]; typedef char no[2]; template<typename T> static yes &check(Optional*, T); static no &check(Required*, int); struct OptionalCheckHost { operator Required*() const; operator Optional*(); }; template<bool optional_valid, typename R, typename O> struct OptionalCheck { typedef O type; }; template<typename R, typename O> struct OptionalCheck<false, R, O> { typedef R type; }; public: typedef typename OptionalCheck<sizeof(check(OptionalCheckHost(), int())) == sizeof(yes), Required, Optional>::type type; }; Thanks, /Erik > On 05 Jan 2015, at 04:34, David Holmes <david.holmes at oracle.com> wrote: > > Sorry for the top-post but just wanted to reset the context a little here.

But I'm fine with leaving it as macros if this is in general preferred and opinions have suddenly changed in this matter. >> >> Personally I don't see how the number of rows of code define uglyness. Reusability, testing, documentation and well definedness in contracts/behaviours all lead to more lines of code, but I don't think that equals uglyness. So while I disagree more code is uglier because it's more, it's all up to opinion and it's quite pointless to discuss; you are entitled to think that is ugly. >> >>> If that additional infrastructure were amortized across more use-cases >>> then it might be more appealing.

(More on that below.) >> >> Yeah I specifically had in mind the wish to make a split between commercial extensions to open source code actually. This pattern allows easy optional class inheritance injection as a general design pattern to achieve this. And for my own purposes the ability to define asymmetric dekker synchronization to elide storeload fences when the platform (e.g. TSO) supports it but otherwise revert to a generalized implementation (using storeload fences). This is why I think a clean reusable strategy is almost always better because it is widely applicable, even if there would not be obvious other examples where it is useful. >> >>> >>>>> I think the name "IsBaseOfAndDerived" would be better as >>>>> "IsBaseAndDerived".

It is absolutely critical (and intended) that this class is constrained to be a derived class of the fall-back class - it is not an artifact nor an accidental behaviour. In the hierarchy A is-maybe-a B is-a C, A must be able to rely on the superclass being at least C-like so that the behaviour of the superclass can be used reliably and transparently regardless of the existence of the optional B. If this contract would not hold, I think it could lead to some really weird and unreliable code which should not be encouraged (at least not according to the Liskov substitution principle etc). >> >> So what I need in the contract is a check if the optional class is defined and if it fits in the inheritance hierarchy: they are both important IMO. >> >> Yes it could have been less code.

Therefore I do not think this is better, although I agree it is smaller. >> >> I agree that our use case here is smaller. If the amount of code is the problem and less code (and hence fewer reusable components) is preferred, then the original implementation with a simple IsBaseOfAndDerived does the trick (without checking types/cv qualifiers) and could be done in just a few lines, and this is what I originally did before you told me to expand it to more closely resemble external libraries: >> >> template<typename Base, typename Derived> >> class IsBaseOfAndDerived { >> typedef char yes[1]; >> typedef char no[2]; >> >> template<typename T> >> static yes &check(Derived*, T); >> static no &check(Base*, int); >> >> template<typename B, typename D> >> struct IsBaseOfHost { >> operator B*() const; >> operator D*(); >> }; >> public: >> static const bool value = sizeof(check(IsBaseOfHost<Base, Derived>(), int())) == sizeof(yes); >> }; >> >> It checks the inheritance and existence of the Derived class which is exactly the constraints I need. >> >> If you do not want to expose it publicly and remove the reusability because it does not have identical semantics as third party libraries regarding the requirements of the Derived type to be complete, it could be an internal class of SelectBaseClass. >> >> I'm not going to value the reusability vs LoC, I leave that decision to you. >> >>> However, while I think there are other use cases for this specific >>> utility, I still think the proposed change set as a whole is adding a >>> lot of code just to avoid a a few lines of macro usage. That seems >>> like a poor tradeoff to me. >> >> >> Okay. >> >> In the end, we have to make a choice - what is more important, that the traits resemble some external library or code size. Because last time I proposed a small change and you wanted it to be closer to C++11 behaviour and I made it closer to that at the expense of more code. Now you are saying I have to make it even tighter to C++11 (or boost?), but also don't want more lines of code which I believe is impossible given that I want to constrain both the class hierarchy to be reliable and check the existence of the optional class. This brings me to a few architectural questions which I may have (strong) opinions about but are not up to me to decide. >> >> 1. Do we want to replace the macros with template metaprogramming? 2 reviewers (and me) liked the metaprogramming approach and it was implemented because they (like me) did not want the macros. But you have a different opinion. I can't judge who is right and wrong here. >> >> 2. Do we want to minimize the code size at the cost of reusability by making contracts of dependent components weaker and putting them as private classes in the SelectBaseClass? >> >> 3. If we do want template metaprogramming and want reusable components, the question is, is it important that the specification of completeness (which in general is almost impossible to implement correctly in a portable way as you pointed out) of the template arguments in IsBaseOf is identical as C++11/boost even though no code needs it to be and on the contrary some code benefits from it not to be? In that case which one of them do we, because they are already different anyway? There is a tradeoff between code size and complexity vs copying either one of the external libraries regarding requirements of completeness of template parameters. >> >> Thanks, >> /Erik >>

As a driver you have a responsibility to consider school parking in a safe and considerate manner. If you don't, you could be
endangering a child's life or the life of another member of the public.
Please park with care and help make the area near and around our school a safer place for our children, their
families and the local community.
To help ease the situation, the doors in Primary are open from 8.45am to 9.00am and parents can drop off at any
time during that period of time.
Please note: the car park on the front of the Officers Mess is for staff use only unless you hold a disability badge
and have made arrangements with us. The parent parking is behind the school with both the car park area and
park and stride.
If you need to drive your child to school, for the safety of all our families, please remember:
• No parking on single or double yellow lines
• No double parking
• No stopping, dropping or parking on the School Keep Clear yellow zig zags
• No parking on corners or junctions especially near the school entrances
• Please do not block driveways
• No parking on roundabouts.
By remembering these points not only will you improve the safety of the area surrounding your child's school,
but you will also avoid receiving a parking ticket!
What can you do instead?
Many families choose to walk to school, which helps enormously, and perhaps some of those that need to drive
could park further from the school and walk in, starting the day with some fresh air and exercise?
By working together we can keep everyone safe.
Parent car park & 'Park and Stride' – Walking half a mile only takes between 8 and 17 minutes. How many calories
you burn depends on how fast you walk!
Try Car Sharing – consider sharing the school run. If you have to drive to school then get together with other parents
who need to go by car and take it in turns to drive.
Walk with other families – organise a small group of parents to share the walk to school and take it in turns with
other parents to do the school run. You could even combine this idea with Park and Stride. Walking to school
contributes to the recommended daily physical activity for you and your children. It also helps to reduce congestion
around the school and helps to improve air quality, providing benefits for everyone.
Use the community parking and shop: Are you dropping children off at different times? The community centre and
shop would welcome you waiting there. Enjoy a coffee – you may even want to add breakfast?!

During the country's civil war, journalists provided accurate information, while risking their lives. Their commitment helped keep the nation and the world informed on the true situation of the conflict, Southern Province Chief Minister Shan Wijayalal de Silva said.
He was addressing a media briefing at the Southern Province Media Centre (SPMC) in Galle, on Friday.
Galle Mayor Priyantha Sahabandu, Southern Provincial Councillor Sanjiv Karunathilake, Deputy Galle Mayor Fauzal Niyas and Attorney-at-Law Thusara De Silva were present.
The Chief Minister's birthday was also celebrated during a brief function prior to the briefing.
"I commend the services of journalists, while attempting to maintain a cordial relationship with them," he said.
"We sometimes witness rifts and misunderstandings between politicians as well as the media, which unfavourable for the country's progress. I believe that the relationship between politicians and the media should always be healthy," the chief minister added.
"I have been active in politics for nearly three decades. When I was first appointed as the Sri Lanka Freedom Party Chief Organiser (SLFP) for the Ambalangoda electorate, I pledged before late Party Leader Sirimavo Bandaranaike that I would uphold carry out my duties without fail," he said.
"Certain decisions would be unfavorable for political progress and as such, we should follow a just path, and not what is popular," Chief Minister de Silva added.

Beyoncé & JAY-Z Release 'Everything Is Love' on All Streaming PlatformsPosted by Missinfo.tv Staff under Albums , Music News
No Comments
Beyoncé and JAY-Z dropped a bomb over the weekend, surprising the whole music world with their Everything Is Love joint album. Released Saturday afternoon (Jun. 16), the album was exclusively available on TIDAL. Now two days later, Everything Is Love is out on iTunes and all streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and SoundCloud Go. The Spotify move is kind of puzzling due to a lyric on the song "NICE," where Queen Bey sends a shot to the streaming service related to her stellar 2016 album LEMONADE.
"My success can't be quantified," raps Bey. "If I gave two fu**s about streaming numbers, would've put Lemonade up on Spotify….Fu** you, fu** you," she continues. The bonus song "SALUD!" remains a TIDAL exclusive, meanwhile fans can also download the album on Amazon. See the credits here and stream it below.

City passes budget with tax decrease
Unknowns at state level could lead to adjustments, more cuts
Shelton's Board of Aldermen unanimously accepted a budget and lowered tax rate that could potentially change if proposed cuts are made at the state level.
Board of Aldermen President John Anglace said the city is prepared to operate under its accepted $123,308,705 budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year despite uncertainties in Hartford.
The city's mill rate decreased from 22.31 to 22.21 mills. Overall, the budget has decreased by $22,326 from the mayor's initial proposal.
Anglace said in his 26 years on the Board of Aldermen the city hasn't seen this type a budget season.
"The irony of this whole process is the state is not concentrating on fixing the problem, and the problem is the $6 billion state deficit," said Anglace. "What they are doing through this budget process is simply taking from Peter to pay Paul. They're taking from us and giving to some of the larger towns. Taking from what they consider to be the affluent towns using their antiquated distribution formula that hasn't been adjusted in years and years. Education funding in this state needs a complete overhaul.
Anglace continued.
"They think the state has a revenue problem, but the state has a spending problem. It spends more than it's bringing in," said Anglace. "How many people want to be governor? If you go out and raise $250,000 we're, the state, are going to give you $6 million. Where are they going to get $6 million? If I were Lauretti the first thing I would do when I get in is cut that out and change that law. We can't afford to give that to every candidate with all of the problems we've got. It's unconscionable."
Mayor Mark Lauretti said the city is awaiting to see the effects of any cuts at the state level.
The mayor wouldn't comment on whether or not the city would go into its rainy day fund or surplus to fund any gap caused by state cuts but said that "it wouldn't solve the problem."
"It would only solve the problem for now," said Lauretti.
Anglace said the city wouldn't fund any gap caused by state cuts with its surplus and the city cannot assume any specific outcome.
"We can't speculate on what we would do if we get less money because if you know what they're going to do in Hartford if we do that? They're going to give us less money," said Anglace.
Changes to accepted budget
In this most recent version of the city's budget, an additional $10,000 was added to the public safety budget to pay its part-time employees; an additional $4,433 was added to the fire marshal's budget to fund gasoline; an additional $73,576 was added to the building department's budget to fund their regular payroll; an additional $30,000 was added to the highways and bridges budget to fund communications maintenance and repairs; an additional $1,249 was added to the department of public works' budget; $55,000 was added to the sanitation department budget to pay its full-time employees; $10,000 was added to the library budget to fund its regular payroll; $5,000 was added to the community development's budget to pay for its part-time employees, and $2,000 was added to the outside agencies' budget to help fund local organization Celebrate Shelton.
"We've got needs in this town, needs to fulfill and services to provide. The only source we have is to take the money from the people through property taxes and we try to minimize that," said Anglace. "Whether that's buying school buses so we don't spend an extra million dollars giving it away to some third party, we save money that way and other ways, special lights to save electricity and where else we can save money."
The budget's most significant change was the $480,426 increase to the city's board of education. The increase still puts the board $1 million short of its initial request, but $1 million more than the mayor's previous recommendation for the department.
The budget approved by the aldermen last week gives $71,470,000 to the city's schools for next year.
Anglace credits the city's board of ed for their role in developing a budget during such a tough year for the state.
"Our education people I give them credit. We worked with them closely and they said they knew what we were up against and they tried their best to make things work for us," said Anglace.
Anglace explained that the board of aldermen would be responsible for making any future cuts to the budget, should changes need to occur following the announcement of the state's final budget.
He clarified that should cuts at the state level force the city to readjust its budget, there would be no time constraints.
"If they say to us 'you've gotta pay us $3.8 million for teacher's pensions,' do you know what we're going to do? I don't speak for all of the aldermen, but my opinion is we're going to say, 'We're not paying it,'" said Anglace. "They can take us to court. They can do what they want to do, we'll fight them. State of Connecticut Constitution says grades k-12 education should be provided to every student by what I think is free of charge. They're the ones responsible for providing free education, not us."
Anglace estimated that the city funds 93% of the education budget, the state paying the remaining 7%. He said he'd prefer the city pay its entire education budget and be permitted to run the department how it sees fit.
"The governor's proposal would make our share 98% and state's share only 2%; how does that make sense?" said Anglace. "Us, collectively, 169 towns and municipalities should ban together to create a class-action suit and say 'look, this is your responsibility, not ours. Just relieve us of all of your stupid mandates and stop telling us how to do the job and we'll do it a lot cheaper. Get out of our way.'"
Refinancing could save the city $1 million
Lauretti said after the aldermen meeting that the refinancing opportunity presented itself since he initially put a budget together in January, but that the savings aren't definite.
The mayor explained that the city assumes it will be able to save $1 million by refinancing debt that derives from a 2011 bond issue.
"We do it from time to time; we don't do it all the time. We do it because the opportunity presented itself," said Lauretti.
