to see Barcelona from the sea
"Golondrinas" means "swallows" (birds) in Spanish, but the name also refers to the motor boats which will make you discover the beaches of Barcelona, ready to whisk you off on a nautical adventure.
Barcelona is a superb city from any angle, whether seen from the sky, the ground or even the sea. Which is why the "Golondrinas" have been offering passengers a fantastic view of the city for more than 125 years.
The tours to discover the beaches of Barcelona, the city and the port from the sea
Barcelona Mar: discover the beaches of Barcelona and the beautiful silhouette of the city from a motor boat
This is the longest and fullest excursion so it's our favourite!
The boat raises anchor in front of the Christopher Columbus statue and runs along the Barcelona port before traveling along the coastal area between San Sebastià beach and the Fòrum port located at the border between Barcelona and the town of Sant Adrià de Besòs.
The Golondrina then turns and goes back in the opposite direction, finishing up in the industrial port.
Needless to say, we advise you to take this tour on a sunny day so you can see the countryside in the sun while breathing in the sea air: a real treat!
Duration of tour: 1 hour 30 minutes

- It's an unusual tour of Barcelona, and we think it's very good value.

- However some useful information is displayed above the windows on the covered part of the boat.
Useful information and advice:
- Times: 10am to 5pm in Autumn and Winter and 10am to 8pm in Spring and Summer.
- If you need to get out of the sun, the first floor is completely covered.
- The sun is very strong so bring sunglasses and sun screen or even a hat.

As I write this I am sitting in the dealership of my local Mazda. I say local but it took me almost an hour to get here. I have had a horrible rattle in my exhaust area, I am in desperate need of an oil change and I have to get something repaired because of a recall. Whew! What a mess.
I have been putting off this appointment for a while. If you know me, you know I am not a person who procrastinates BUT I really hate having to deal with my car issues. I just want things to work and let someone else take care of the details for me. The mechanic asked if I needed a tire rotation and I realized I am so detached from my car maintenance routine that I forgot I had new tires.
I am telling you all my complaints because the way I treat my car is sometimes how I treat God in my faith and business connection. Most days I meet with my CEO to discuss the activities of the day. I pray for those I lead and have time to read His Word and listen to His voice (through my journal). I want God to be in my plans and I strive to cooperate with Him for my success.
Other days I get busy and don't carve out the time I need to meet with the Boss. I try to run on the leftovers from the reading the day before, the Sunday sermon, or the Bible study from last week. Like the oil in the car, I cannot keep running on the same old fluid. I must Grow so I can Overflow. God promises to renew us when we come to Him. Just like remembering to change the oil in the car at regular intervals, you need to fill up on God's living water at daily intervals to keep everything running smoothly.
I know my days go better when I have planned my time with God and enjoyed His presence. I also know it is not always easy to let go of everything else that you have to do so you can meet with Him. I challenge you not to keeping putting this appointment off. Change the oil often.
However, maybe you have not yet decided to make God the CEO of your business. Maybe you feel the relationship is broken in some way. You would LOVE to connect your faith and business but you are content to live with the noise of the world just like the rattle I have been living with in the car for the last few months, it's not so bad.
You may have even had success in your business while following the 'blueprint' of the endless business coaches there are to choose from in the market. God is ready to show you HOW you can be unique in your industry. He is ready to propel you forward in ways you can't even imagine. BUT, right now, you are content to live with the rattle. Your heart knows there is more to serving your clients and customers. You feel that pull to make a real difference. But the noise is too loud, too distracting.
I have been there. I remember a time when I chased every online coach for her expertise. I wanted to be successful just like each of them. I listened to the noise of their advice. It is not bad to get expert guidance, but it can be full of pit-falls. For me it was the endless comparison of my success to theirs. I got tired of trying to make it work by doing it their way. When I finally pivoted to doing things in my style, with my personality, and with God leading, it all started to change. I found my voice and my brand started to emerge.
That's exactly where God wants you, dependent on Him for your success. He will lead you in the way that is exactly right for you. Getting rid of the rattle allowed me to listen to God's ONE voice.
Where are you right now with your faith and business connection? Are you letting God lead in the way you are showing up? What needs to be adjusted? Take some time to 'recall' yourself. Personally, I use my quarterly Quiet Retreat as a time to re-evaluate and set goals. My car recall is not something that is too serious, but the adjustments are necessary for it to run at peak efficiency. Let God make some adjustments for you so you can show up in your business the way He planned.
You are the only you to ever exist and you have your business, during this time, to complete your purpose. God wants you to run at peak efficiency by filling you up each day, turning your attention to Him, and adjusting your parts until you live the adventure He designed for you.
No one can 'take care of the details' for you. You must take yourself in 'to the shop' to be fine-tuned and kept running well.
Be filled to overflowing,

As part of the great living room revamp, I have been on the lookout for a nice piece of artwork to go on the wall. Now everything I have seen has been too small, too expensive or too generic (you know – the same as everyone else who shops in Ikea). So I finally bit the bullet and had a go myself, and I am mightily pleased with the result.
It all started out with a minor debate in the hardware shop as we decided on what colours to go for. We were limited to the Dulux tester pots as they were 3 for £3! This colour chart was our inspiration – if you ever need ideas of what colours go together the Design Seeds website is great. Once we had picked our colours, we painted an old generic canvas white. This took a couple of coats to get rid of all the original design. Next, we masked a sunburst pattern onto the canvas with tape. Use a ruler to make your stripes evenly spaced out. Then get going with the paint!
The stripe colours are all completely random – there was no rhyme or reason to the way they ended up. We ended up doing two coats of paint for each colour which gave a much better finish, and there was still paint left over. Make sure you leave it to dry before you pull off the masking tape! Any messed up lines can be touched up with either coloured or white paint.
The blue-y coloured stripes were done using a metallic paint which we have used as a feature wall colour, and we have a red sofa, so the picture has tied everything together nicely.

"High standards of professional work." (IFLR1000, 2017)
"High standards of professional work." (IFLR1000, 2017)
Dace Driče, attorney at law of PRIMUS DERLING, provides an explanation to the internet magazine iFinanses on the application of law to cases when the employment relationship is terminated during a probationary period.
An employee is dismissed on the basis of Article 47(1) of the Labour Law (the LL), i.e., not passing the probationary period. The order is issued on 23 November, Friday (part-time aggregated working time has been established for the employee). 24 and 25 November are free days for the employee, 26 November is a working day. Which date, 25 or 26 November, should be stated in the order as the day when employment is terminated?
Calculation of time period in labour law is laid down in Article 16 of the LL. Article 16(1) states that a time period runs from the date or from the day of the occurrence of an event, which determines the beginning of the time period, while Article 16(5) states that if the time period expires on a weekly day of rest or a public holiday, the subsequent working day is deemed to be the last day of the time period.
Therefore if a notice of termination is given to the employee on Friday (23 November), this day is counted as the first day of notice period. The period of three days expires on Sunday (25 November), but this is a rest day for the employee, therefore the deadline is postponed to the subsequent working day which is Monday (26 November).
Consequently, the last working day of the employee is 26 November, while employment relationship of the employee is terminated on Tuesday, 27 November. Therefore the employment relationship is terminated on 27 November.

Phasis, waa defended on all sides by strong intrenchments, the river, the Euxine, and a fleet of galleys. Despair united their councils and invigorated their arms; they withstood the assault of the Persians; and the flight of Nacoragan preceded or followed the slaughter of ten thousand of his bravest soldiers. He escaped from the Romana to fall into the hands of an unforgiving master, who severely chastised the error of his own choice; the unfortunate general was flayed alive, and his skin, stuffed into the human form, was exposed on a mountain: a dreadful warning to those who might hereafter be intrusted with the fame and fortune of Persia.* Tet the prudence of Chosroes insensibly relinquished the prosecution of the Colchian war, in the just persuasion that it is impossible to reduce, or at least to hold, a distant country against the wishes and efforts of its inhabitants. The fidelity of Gubazes sustained the most rigorous trials. He patiently endured the harships of a savage life, and rejected with disdain the specious temptations of the Persian court. The king of the Lazi had been educated in the Christian religion; his mother was the daughter of a senator; during his youth, he had served ten years a silentiary of the Byzantine palace, f and the arrears of an unpaid salary were a motive of attachment as well as of complaint. But the long continuance of his sufferings extorted from him a naked representation of the truth; and truth was an unpardonable libel on the lieutenants of Justinian, who, amidst the delays of a ruinous war, had spared his enemies, and trampled on bis allies. Their malicious information persuaded the emperor, that his faithless vassal already meditated a second defection: an order was surprised to send him prisoner to Constantinople; a treacherous clause was inserted, that he might be lawfully killed in case of resistance; and Gubazes, without arms, or suspicion of danger,, was stabbed in the security of a friendly interview. In the.
* The punishment of flaying alive could not be introduced intoPersia by Sapor (Brisson, de Regn. Pers. 1. 2, p. 578), nor could it becopied from the foolish tale of Marsyas the Phrygian piper, most foolishly quoted as a precedent by Agathias (1 . 4, p. 132,133).
+ In the palace of Constantinople there were thirty sUentiaries, whoare styled hastati ante fores cubiculi, Tjjq fftyijc kirioTarat, an honourable title, which conferred the rank, without imposing the duties, of asenator.

first momenta of rage and despair, the Colchians would have sacrificed their country and religion to the gratification of revenge. But the authority and eloquence of the wiser few obtained a salutary pause: the victory of the Phaeis restored the terror of the Koman arms, and the emperor was solicitous to absolve his own name from the imputation of so foul a murder. A judge of senatorial rank was commissioned to inquire into the conduct and death of the king of the Lazi. He ascended a stately tribunal, encompassed by the ministers of justice and punishment: in the presence of both nations, this extraordinary cause was pleaded, according to the forms of civil jurisprudence, and some satisfaction was granted to an injured people, by the sentence and execution of the meaner criminals.*
In peace, the king of Persia continually sought the pretences of a rupture; but no sooner had he taken up arms, than he expressed his desire of a safe and honourable treaty. During the fiercest hostilities, the two monarchs entertained a deceitful negotiation; and such was the superiority of Chosroes, that whilst he treated the Koman ministers with insolence and contempt, he obtained the most unprecedented honours for his own ambassadors at the imperial court. The successor of Cyrus assumed the majesty of the Eastern sun, and graciously permitted his younger brother Justinian to reign over the West, with the pale and reflected splendour of the moon. This gigantic style was supported by the pomp and eloquence of Isdigune, one of the royal chamberlains. His wife and daughters, with a train of eunuchs and camels, attended the march of the ambassador: two satraps with golden diadems were numbered among his followers; he was guarded by five hundred horse, the most valiant of the Persians; and the Roman governor of Dara wisely refused to admit more than twenty of this martial and hostile caravan. When Isdigune had saluted the emperor, and
p. 129.) * On these judicial orations, Agathias (1. 3, p. 81—
89; 1. i, p. 108—119,) lavishes eighteen or twenty pages of false and florid rhetoric. His ignorance or carelessness overlooks the strongest argument against the king of Lazica—his former revolt [These transactions are arranged in the following order by Clinton (F. K. i. 802—812): A.d. 554, death of Mermeroes and assassination of Gubazes; A.d. 555, Nacoragan defeated at Phasis; A.D. 556, trial of the murderer of Gubazes; A.d. 557, Nacoragan recalled and put to death; A.D. 562, treaty of peace.—Ed.]
delivered his presents, he passed ten months at Constantinople without discussing any serious affairs. Instead of being confined to his palace, and receiving food and water from the hands of his keepers, the Persian ambassador, without spies or guards, was allowed to visit the capital; and the freedom of conversation and trade enjoyed by his domestics offended the prejudices of an age which rigorously practised the law of nations, without confidence or courtesy.* By an unexampled indulgence, his interpreter, a servant below the notice of a Roman magistrate, was seated, at the table of Justinian, by the side of his master; and one thousand pounds of gold might be assigned for the expense of his journey and entertainment. Yet the repeated labours of Isdigune could procure only a partial and imperfect truce, which was always purchased with the treasures, and renewed at the solicitation, of the Byzantine court. Many years of fruitless desolation elapsed before Justinian and Chosroes were compelled by mutual lassitude, to consult the repose of their declining age. At a conference held on the frontier, each party, without expecting to gain credit, displayed the power, the justice, and the pacific intentions of their respective sovereigns; but necessity and interest dictated the treaty of peace, which was concluded for a term of fifty years, diligently composed in the Greek and Persian languages, and attested by the seals of twelve interpreters. The liberty of commerce and religion was fixed and defined; the allies of the emperor and the great king were included in the same benefits and obligations; and the most scrupulous precautions were provided to prevent or determine the accidental disputes that might arise on the confines of two hostile nations. After twenty years of destructive though feeble war, the limits still remained without alteration; and Chosroes was persuaded to renounce his dangerous claim to the possession or sovereignty of Colchos and its dependent states. Eich in the accumulated treasures of the East, he extorted from the Eomans an annual payment of thirty thousand pieces of gold; and the smallness of the sum revealed the disgrace of a tribute in its naked deformity.
* Procopius represents the practice of the Gothic court of Ravenna {Goth. 1. 1, c. 7); and foreign ambassadors have been treated with the same jealousy and rigour in Turkey (Busbequius, epist. 3, p. 149, 242, &c.), Russia (Voyage d'Olearius), and China (Narrative of M. de Lange, in Bell's Travels, vol. ii, p. 189—311.)
In a previous debate, the chariot of Sesostris, and the wheel of fortuue, were applied by one of the ministers of Justinian, who observed that the reduction of Antioch and some Syrian cities had elevated beyond measure the vain and ambitious spirit of the Barbarian. "You are mistaken," replied the modest Persian: "the king of kings, the lord of mankind, looks down with contempt on such petty acquisitions; and of the ten nations, vanquished by his invincible arms, he esteems the Romans as the least formidable."* According to the Orientals, the empire of Nushirvan extended from Ferganah in Transoxiana to Yemen or Arabia Felix. He subdued the rebels of Hyrcania, reduced the provinces of Cabul and Zablestan on the banks of the Indus, broke the power of the Euthalites, terminated by an honourable treaty the Turkish war, and admitted the daughter of the great khan into the number of his lawful wives. Victorious and respected among the princes of Asia, he gave audience, in his palace of Madain, or Ctesiphon, to the ambassadors of the world. Their gifts or tributes, arms, rich garments, gems, slaves, or aromatics, were humbly presented at the foot of his throne; and he condescended to accept from the king of India, ten quintals of the wood of aloes, a maid seven cubits in height, and a carpet softer than silk, the skin, as it was reported, of an extraordinary serpent.f
Justiman had been reproached for his alliance with the Ethiopians, as if he attempted to introduce a people of savage negroes into the system of civilized society. But the friends of the Roman empire, the Axumites, or Abyssinians, may be always distinguished from the original natives of Africa.J The hand of nature has flattened the noses of the negroes, covered their heads with shaggy wool, and tinged their skin with inherent and indelible blackness. But the olive complexion of the Abyssinians, their hair, shape, and

The erudition of Ludolphus (Hist. Ethiopica, Francofurt. 1681; Commentarius, 1691; Appendix, 1694) in twenty-five languages, could add little concerning its ancient history. Yet the fame of Caled, or Ellisthseus, the conqueror of Yemen, is celebrated in national songs and legends.
+ The negotiations of Justinian with the Axumites, or Ethiopians, are recorded by Procopius (Persic. 1. 1, c. 19, 20,) and John Malalas, <tom. ii, p. 163—165, 193—196.) The historian of Antioch quotes the original narrative of the ambassador Nonnosus, of which Photius (Bibliot. cod. 3) has preserved a curious extract.
J The trade of the Axumites to the coast of India and Africa, and the isle of Ceylon, is curiously represented by Cosmas Indicopleustes. (Topograph. Christian. 1. 2, p. 132. 138—140; I. 11, p. 338, 339.)
§ Ludolph. Hist. et Comment. ./Ethiop. 1. 2, c. 3. [The annals of Abyssinia (Bruce's Travels, 1. 47, &c.) present a different view of these events. That country, at an early period peopled by a shepherd race, called in their language Berber, whence our term barbarian, often submitted to female rulers. One of these was Solomon's visitor. The word Sheba, Saba, Azab or Azaba, denoted the South, so that the title by which she is known to us signified only the quarter whence she came. After her return to her own country, she sent her son, Menilak, to Jerusalem, to be educated by his reputed father. The young prince took back with him a Hebrew colony, by whom his people were converted to Judaism. Their habits became thenceforth more settled, and they engaged in a commerce which connected them with Arabia and India on one side, and on the other with more northern climes, to which they forwarded the merchandize of tropic regions.

With fall break and the holiday season quickly approaching, you may be taking a trip back home or planning to visit friends. Whether you're flying across the country or driving just a few hours, here are some basic essentials that are necessary when traveling.
- Wallet: It may seem like a no-brainer to bring your wallet with you when traveling, but often times if we are rushed or in a hurry, it can be a forgotten. To avoid this major mishap double check that you have packed it before you depart. Cash and identification are a necessity, so toss your wallet in your bag before you rush out the door!
- Portable Phone Charger: My phone is constantly dying (probably from spending too much time scrolling through Instagram) so a portable charger is must-have. If you are on a long car ride and do not have access to a plug, this will revive your phone whether you are in desperate need for entertainment or navigation. If you are headed to the airport, a regular charger will make do, but be sure your battery is full if you have your boarding pass on your mobile.
- Snacks: Snacking and traveling go hand in hand. But instead of choosing sweet candies or chips when stopping at a rest stop, pick easy, mess-free fruits such as apples, bananas or pears. Try planning ahead and pack up some healthy snacks from home to have on hand during your trip. For an extensive car ride, include a small cooler with some sandwiches and drinks to avoid rolling through various drive throughs along the way.
- Books/Magazines: Traveling gives you the perfect opportunity to crack open a new book and be submerged into a literary dream. Not only does it help time fly, but it enriches your mind and keeps you off of electronic devices for a bit. It is good to unplug from the world and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Picking up some of your favorite magazines that you do not always get a chance to flip through during your busy schedule is another option. You could always bring along some homework as well to get ahead for the next week of school.
- Water Bottle: Although you cannot get through security with a water bottle at an airport, packing an empty reusable one that you can fill up at the water fountains stationed throughout the airport will save you from buying that $5 bottle at snack stands. This environmentally friendly hack keeps your wallet happy and body hydrated.
- Headphones: Listening to music or watching your favorite show on Netflix is a great way to pass time while you wait for your flight to board or if you are experiencing delays. Grab your headphones for some entertainment options during your travel journey, or to just cancel out the sound of that baby crying a few rows back on your flight. If you are on a long car ride, pack up some DVDs if you are without WiFi and watch some of your old favorites.
- Makeup Bag: Including a small cosmetics bag with emergency items is always a smart idea. Toss in a travel-sized perfume, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, Advil and any additional items you think are important depending on the length of your travels. And if you are headed on a plane, make sure your items are below four ounces!
- Outfit: You'll need a chic, comfortable outfit to wear during your trip to get from point A to point B without a fuss. Wear some basic black leggings with a plain tee and layer on top your favorite denim jacket or cozy cardigan. Add a scarf to keep you warm on flights or during your long car ride (bonus: wearing your bulky scarves saves room in your luggage and acts as a neck pillow!). Step into some easy to slide off shoes for when you are going through security at the airport like sneakers or basic flats. If you have an early flight or drive- add a baseball hat to conceal your "I just rolled out of bed" hair.
Including these essentials in your luggage will make your trip go smoothly and ensure that your journey ahead of you will be stress free. Bon Voyage!

Everyone is flying to Black Tap for these shakes but solely for how it LOOKS. Call me old fashioned but I still love QUALITY! these shakes were disappointing. As a chocolate lover it was sad to bite into the Reese's and it was Russell Stivers. Yes I'm petty but whatever! The shakes take FOREVER to come out and the actual amount of shake is maybe 8oz. Which is water because of I guess how long it took to decorate the cup. Pass on this and walk two blocks to my old faithful, bills Bar & Burger and get their milkshake. Better tasting and enough to share 😉

Angie Martinez Day!
On November 19, 2015 City Hall held a Puerto Rican Heritage celebration. This year they honored artist Manny Vega and "The Voice of New York", Angie Martinez with their day. Angie has been a pillar in the hip hop community and for those of you that saw Brown Sugar she asks the ever famous question.. When did you fall in love with hip hop. Angie took a turn last year, as did fellow Boricua Fat Joe, and went healthy! Angie helped write a book on making typical Puerto Rican food with healthy alternatives.
Sad news in Chelsea
I grew up in Chelsea and one of the most vivid memories I have of food is when my dad would take me to La Taza de Oro for breakfast. It was a greasy spoon, old school diner and we LOVED it. We would get avena (oatmeal) and my dad, pan y cafe (bread and coffee) of course. This place is exactly how I envisioned a restaurant I'd own. A neighborhood spot, welcoming and loving…..all through food. Nine months ago the facade of a neighboring building fell. La Taza has been closed since due to a vacate order. I prayed and watched blogs and watched gofundme hoping for positive news about this neighborhood landmark. Finally, today, the blogs are crying their sorrows over the official closing of La Taza. This means the end of a generation not just one restaurant. Cabo Rojo restaurant on 26th and 9th avenue recently closed and now this. Puerto Rican families have faded out due to what we now call gentrification. 😔
Chef CutiePie meets Manolo of Mofongo!
This is a very late post but this past summer I made it my duty to go visit mi hermano, Manolo, at the Smorgabusrg in Coney Island. Manolo had a dream to bring Puerto Rican food to NYC and share the love we all know it to be. He brought us MOFON*GO. I love to see anything about Puerto Rican food in print and this summer Bon Apetit Magazine interviewed Manolo. You heard right! a big name food magazine.. the grandpa of food mags.. interviewed a BORICUA! You can watch the interview here. Watching this made me cry. Yes, Puerto Ricans are citizens but if you have heard anything in the past year the debt crisis on the island is out of control. To be able to get this type of recognition is huge! Anyway… I went to visit Manolo and took him some coquito pa' celebrar! Its always love seeing your people succeed and Manolo is so damn cool about it! Always love and apoyo!
The Smorgasburg @ the Seaport
My coworkers and I heard this place was coming and we were so excited! We went at 1pm for lunch on a Friday and the crowd was bearable. Everything is made to order but totally worth it. The outdoor seating made for a sunny lunch. In addition to food there is beer on tap.
From Asia Dog: The Mel & Steve- sesame asian slaw, scallions and sesame seeds. The Sydney- Thai mango relish, cucumber, cilantro, red onions and topped with peanuts. Both of these hot dogs were good. They offer a choice of chicken or beef hot dogs. The mango relish was a bit mushy and I wish it had a bit more bite to it but the overall flavor was yummy!
Red Hook Lobster Pound: Shrimp Roll… buttery deliciousness!!!!! I love shrimp salad but rarely get it because I despise the taste of dill. Thankfully this didn't have any (or very little). The bread was fresh, buttered and toasted. On the way back to the office this was already sold out!
Soda: Cant remember the name of the cart but I tried the hibiscus mint soda on tap… very refreshing and not sweet!
Landhaus: Serving burgers and pieces of bacon (3 for $8, 1 for $3). How could I pass up a fresh piece of maple bacon?!?! Needless to say… awesomeness on a stick!
Next trip… trying the grilled cheese stand!

Our urgent clinic improved same-day access while freeing up GP time
Dr Amit Sharma describes how introducing a GP supervised multidisciplinary team enabled his practice to improve same-day care while also freeing up GPs
The problem
Brookside Group Practice is an innovative three-site teaching practice in Berkshire, with a patient population of 27,000 and approximately 130 employees. Like many practices we have experienced increasing pressure on all our appointments over recent years, with workload becoming unmanageable. In particular, our system for same-day urgent appointments – GP telephone triage to determine if an appointment is required – led to GPs spending a significant amount of time on the telephone and was not an efficient use of resources, resulting in poor patient and staff experience.
What we did
We reviewed our processes and looked at alternative models of urgent care, before introducing a new model for same-day urgent appointments that eliminates the GP telephone triage; instead patients requiring a same-day appointment are asked to attend an urgent clinic at the practice. The first phase of the clinic was introduced in February 2017, with full roll-out in July 2017.
The new urgent clinic is run by a multidisciplinary team (GPs, junior doctors, prescribing nurses, practice nurses, paramedics) with support and overview from a supervising GP. The make-up of the clinic varies each day depending on staff rotas, but the average number of clinicians in clinic (including the supervising GP) is six. The supervising GP does not see patients unless requested, enabling them to get on with other tasks.
We also introduced an enhanced website in July 2017 providing patients with much greater flexibility in how they can interact with the practice. For example, patients can now book an asthma or blood pressure review, register a carer, ask the GP a question, track a referral or put in a prescription query via the practice website.
An audit undertaken in December 2017 in conjunction with the Oxford Academic Health Science Network showed that 74% of patients were seen by non-GP staff in the first five months of introducing the new urgent clinic, and nearly half (47%) were seen and treated without the involvement of the supervising GP.
The main reason for input from the supervising GP was prescriptions (51%), followed by the complexity of the presenting complaint (44%). Of patients deemed 'complex' and requiring input from the supervising GP, 41% were aged 16 years or younger and just under 40% presented with respiratory illness and fever.
Overall, an extra 1,650 patients have been seen following the introduction of the new urgent care model – more than 100 additional patients per month.
The clinics vary in terms of patient complexity and the demands on the supervising GP, making it difficult to quantify the amount of GP time released directly by the new model. However the audit did demonstrate that the supervising GP is able to undertake other tasks during the clinic – reviewing results, letters and case notes; writing referrals; reviewing electronic prescriptions; and making telephone calls.
We have also seen a reduction in waiting times for routine GP appointments, to an average of one week, as a result of the urgent clinic.
The staffing complement within the clinic varies each day, meaning the cost of running the clinic is similarly variable. However, analysis has shown it is at least cost neutral compared with normal practice.
The enhanced website has made a significant impact too. A survey undertaken in April 2018 indicated that over 2,000 telephone calls, over 1,100 visits in person and nearly 300 appointments had been avoided.
The urgent clinic was introduced in two phases, with the first phase delivered by nursing staff and one GP, but with no dedicated supervising GP. This limited the number of patients being booked in to the clinic initially, as requests for GP input would be directed to a GP who already had their own list of patients.
Also, nursing staff initially had very stringent criteria determining the type of complaint they could deal with. In phase two we were able to relax the criteria through training delivered by the partners and external speakers; the GP supervisor also trained nursing and other clinical staff in the roles on the job. This supervision need gradually tails off as experience and confidence builds. For example, training has been delivered in managing acute MSK conditions, and staff are now confident to manage such conditions, which largely need conservative management, with the supervision of the GP at hand for more complex cases.
A further drawback in the first phase was that patients were not given an allocated appointment time, so they had to wait to be seen. This resulted in some patients declining to use the clinic as they did not want to 'sit and wait'. This feedback was incorporated into the second phase and patients are now given a 30-minute slot in which to attend. This has helped spread attendance more evenly throughout the clinic and prevent lengthy waits for patients.
The future
To further improve our services for patients and to increase the efficiency of the practice, we are keen to explore the use of point of care testing and have this month introduced point of care tests for CRP, FBC, U&E and lactate within the urgent care clinic.
The audit results helped identify areas where additional training could allow more patients to be managed without input from the supervising GP. For example, increasing the prescribing rights and enhancing the paediatric competencies of non-GP staff.
We also want to integrate mental health care into the same-day clinic and have started to work with our local Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme on this.
We hope the ongoing work to further improve efficiency with urgent appointments will in future allow us to introduce longer consultations in our routine GP appointments schedule where needed, increasing from our current average of 12 to 15 minute appointments.

Readers' comments (7)
our clinic has also introduced same day clinics but we have staffed this with GP partners. THe nurse specialists do still provide a same day service, but this is on the whole controlled.
Our wait time has now gone down to 2-3 days for routine appointments. definitely a great idea. I would suggest though that the service should be delivered with GP's as there is no such thing as non complex.
- anonymous salaried!
In response to some of the comments; I think it is short sighted and self important to think that GPs are the only healthcare professionals sufficiently trained to be able to see patients attending an urgent clinic. If you leave patients to decide whom they need to see, they will more often than not choose a GP, whether that is appropriate or not. We see this by the numbers of patients that come in with mild cases of tonsillitis, viral infections, D&V etc... This urgent care system removes their choice, deals with their presentation, is supervised by a GP, and is far less burdensome than the traditional duty doctor system. It spreads the clinical decision making to more professionals which reduces the overall load. I can't see how this is a bad thing.
As a trainee, part of what would put me off a specific Practice is a reluctance to accept and embrace change. The GP workload is the biggest it's ever been, why not remove some of the unnecessary/not GP-specific work to other professionals and concentrate more on the multi morbid and chronic conditions.
We tried this, started well staff happy patients happy. Then the definition of urgent changed a sick note was urgent back pain was urgent. We tried valliantly to stem the tide information education protocols at the desk. Waiting times at clinics went up there were queues outside the door. Clinical staff fatigued. Sadly we aren't a urgent service we arent funded like one. A GP consult costs the NHS £25 a walk in centre consult is approx £60. We stopped the clinics and never looked back.

Friday, December 14, 2018
Saginaw, MI – Three players finished with three points in Friday's 6-2 win at The Dow Event Center, as the Saginaw Spirit ended a six-game winless streak which dated back to last season, to their OHL West Division rival Windsor Spitfires.
Enjoying a three-game winning streak that began on December 8 in the second of three consecutive road games, the Spirit are eight points shy of the division lead and have jumped ahead to fourth place in the Western Conference standings at 35 points.
After missing the last seven games due to injury, 17-year-old defenseman Duncan Penman made his return to the lineup for Saginaw, having been out of action since November 22 with a lower body issue.
Drafted in the second round and 25th overall in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection, Penman recorded two assists in 23 games played prior to the setback this season. Penman was penciled in the starting lineup alongside 2018 New York Islanders second-round draft pick Bode Wilde.
Saginaw also saw a new face in net for the Spitfires in third-year veteran goaltender Colton Incze, who came over from the Niagara IceDogs via trade on December 5. Incze had three appearances with Windsor entering Friday following the departure of Michael DiPietro to the Ottawa 67's.
The last time Incze and the Spirit met was December 3 of last season, as the 19-year-old allowed two goals in the 3-1 loss at The Dow. Before being shipped off, Incze compiled two wins on four starts for the IceDogs.
A backdoor pass from Windsor defenseman Louka Henault to the front of the net for the 2018 OHL third overall pick, Will Cuylle, made way for Cuylle's ninth goal of the season and opening score at 10:15 in the first period.
Cuylle is ranked fourth in points (16) among all Spitfires players after being acquired from the Peterborough Petes in early September in exchange for seven draft picks. The assist for Henault was the 17-year-old's first in five games and seventh total.
The Spirit ended the first period scoring back-to-back goals in a span of 34 seconds.
Taking advantage of a mishandled save within the crease by Incze, Saginaw captain Damien Giroux grabbed his first-of-two goals with 3:02 remaining. Giroux polished off last weekend's road trip with one goal and an assist, sitting sixth overall on the team in points (25) and 10th in assists (11).
Finishing as one-of-three Spirit players with multi-point performances in last Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mississauga Steelheads, rookie Cole Perfetti notched the go-ahead lead before the intermission at 17:32. Drafted fifth overall in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection, Perfetti is second among OHL rookies in goals (14) and fourth in points (25).
Along with D.J. Busdeker, New Yew Islanders prospect Blade Jenkins was credited with the assist off his short cross-ice pass. The native of Jackson, Michigan, Jenkins is tied for the third most assists (19) by a Saginaw forward this season and is one-of-two players to surpass the 30-point mark.
Shots on goal after 20 minutes favored the Spirit, 19-9.
Already in double-digits in goals before Friday and one-of-three players for Windsor to do so, third-year forward Cole Purboo tied the game at two goals apiece 3:36 into the second frame.
Just one behind 2018 Dallas Stars prospect Curtis Douglas for the team lead in goals, Purboo seized the puck in-between the legs of Spirit goaltender Ivan Prosvetov, en route to the open-netter goal for Purboo's 13th of the season.
Coming off his 31-save performance on Sunday against the Steelheads, Prosvetov would stop 36 shots for his 13th win since being drafted by Saginaw in the first round of the 2018 OHL Import Draft, improving his goals against average (GAA) and save percentage (SAV%) to 3.42 and .892, respectively.
Overage forward Albert Michnac would pick up his second multi-assist outing in three games on Wilde's seventh goal of the season at 4:01, firing the wrist shot from the blue line into traffic, for the second lead change by the Spirit.
Michnac has garnered six assists in four games, including two against the Erie Otters last Saturday, and is third for Saginaw in points (29). Wilde, who agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders on December 3, currently ranks in the top-10 in points (28) and assists (21) among OHL defensemen.
Despite averaging 8.1 penalty minutes for a league-best, Saginaw went on the penalty kill five times before the final intermission, including four in the second period alone. The Spirit received just one man-up opportunity against Windsor after scoring six power play goals in the last four games.
Saginaw registered the insurance goal at 7:09 in the third period, as Jenkins recorded his 12th goal off the breakaway for the 4-2 lead. Wilde would earn the secondary assist for his 11th game with two or more points this season since November 29.
Jenkins also added his second assist of the game in the Spirit's third unanswered with 6:07 remaining. Busdeker, a native of Dexter, Michigan, has totaled two goals following his return from a two-game suspension this past month for 19 points, while his three points are the most carved out in a single-game all season.
Giroux capped off the night with the unassisted goal to the bottom left corner of the net at 17:18. The Minnesota Wild is one shy of veteran Cole Coskey (15) for the team lead in goals scored.
Applebee's Three Stars of the Game:
1. Damien Giroux (SAG) – 2G, A, +3
2. Blade Jenkins (SAG) – G, 2A, +3
3. D.J. Busdeker (SAG) – G, 2A, +3
The Spirit will host their second OHL West Division rival in back-to-back days on Saturday, December 15, for the annual "Teddy Bear Toss" game, presented by the Jayden Lamb Memorial Foundation.
With the Sarnia Sting visiting The Dow at 7:05 p.m., fans are encouraged to bring stuffed toys to launch onto the ice after Saginaw scores its first goal of the game. All plush toys will be collected and donated to families and children affected by pediatric cancer.
Courtesy of The Maytag Store, fans who donate new and unwrapped toys prior to puck drop will be entered to win a brand new washer and dryer, with the drawing occurring at the third period.
Listen live on the flagship WSGW 100.5 FM Talk & Sports and fmtalk1005.com with Joey Battaino and Dennis Desrosiers. Pre-game coverage begins at 6:50 p.m.

HARROGATE, Tenn. --- A three-set win by Gabriel Yaguar in the final singles match boosted 42nd-ranked Tusculum to a 5-4 victory over Lincoln Memorial in South Atlantic Conference men's tennis action Wednesday afternoon at the LMU Indoor Tennis Facility.
Yaguar defeated Iker Tomas Moure 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to give the Pioneers (11-4, 2-2 SAC) the victory over the Railsplitters (6-5, 2-2 SAC), who lost four of six singles matches after taking a 2-1 lead after doubles. Three of the six singles matches went to three sets, with the Pioneers winning two of the marathon contests.
In doubles, the Pioneers' lone point came from Yaguar and Tashique Kader, who earned an 8-5 victory over Moritz Hoerner and Jake Tuchmann at flight one. Kader knotted the match at 2-2 with a 6-0, 6-3 win over David Segarra at flight four, and Tomas Kmetko gave Tusculum another point with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-0 victory over Xavier Marti at flight two.
Jorge Cervantes was a 6-4, 6-3 straight-set winner over Hoerner at flight five, as Tusculum led 4-3 heading into the final two matches. The Railsplitters came away with a three-set victory in action at flight three, but Yaguar came through with the decisive point at flight six.
The Pioneers will visit 10th-ranked Wingate on Saturday at 1 p.m. in a matchup of ranked opponents.

NASHP: Health Insurance Marketplaces Enroll Nearly 11.8 Million in 2018
Nearly 11.8 million people selected a 2018 health plan during open enrollment, based on new data from the National Academy for State Health Policy that includes all U.S. states. Plan selections in the 17 state-based marketplaces (including those that use the federal HealthCare.gov platform) rose by 0.19%, while selections in the 34 states that use the federally-facilitated marketplace fell by 5.3%. "For the first time we now have the full national picture of how the individual marketplaces did this year and it is a picture of remarkable stability," said NASHP Executive Director Trish Riley. "Despite all the uncertainty and challenges we have seen, particularly for consumers living in states supported by state-based marketplaces, we see millions of Americans continuing to benefit from the coverage they get in the individual market."

NYTB to perform in Tarboro, North Carolina
New York Theatre Ballet, the foremost chamber ballet company in the United States, will return to Tarboro, North Carolina on March 30, 2017 at 7:30pm to perform in the Edgecombe Community College Performing Arts Series, bringing a program of mixed repertoire. NYTB has performed in the series annually for the past four years.
Pam Tanowitz's Double Andante, a 13-minute ballet for ten dancers set to the Andante movement of Beethoven's Sonata in DMajor #15, which will be played live on piano two times at different tempos. The dance is based on the "pas de deux" and will be used as a metaphor for the age-old notion of unrequited love. A duet set to music by Franz List, Run Loose is the first ballet choreographed by Gemma Bond especially for NYTB, as an up and coming choreographer from the corps of American Ballet Theatre. In Antony Tudor's Judgment of Paris, the Greek legend is transferred to a French Café, late at night, where a drunken boulevardier makes his choice from three sad and aging ladies of pleasure. Set in a magical fairy kingdom beneath the roots of a great tree and filled with magic and poetry, Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by James Sutton, tells the fantastic tale of Princess Aurora from her fateful birth to her triumphant wedding. Tchaikovsky's captivating score sets the mood for New York Theatre Ballet's unique one-hour version of this beloved classic.
These performances have been underwritten by the Furman Mathewson Memorial Trust of Edgecombe County Memorial Library and have played to sold-out houses three years in a row. The performances have included an evening mixed program of balletic works for the general public and a Friday morning matinee of children's programming for all second and third graders in the county free of charge. Over 1100 students each year have been in attendance and the concert has been a great success. Over 3000 students have been exposed to the art of dance through these programs. In March of 2017, New York Theatre Ballet will return for the fifth year.

DRM refers to many technologies that enable companies to sell products to you and then control how you use them. A good example: You can't play a DVD made in France on an American DVD player or vice versa, not because they use incompatible standards, but simply because some media companies decided not to let you.
Microsoft is betting part of their future on deeply integrating DRM into ALL general purpose computers. Yet they invited Cory Doctorow to give them a lecture on why they SHOULDN'T support DRM, and he put together a witty, intelligent good read with breadth and depth. (I've linked to his summary; follow his own link to the full text.)
Now you may think the exciting question is whether he will actually persuade Microsoft's leaders to change their minds. But I think that's the side issue. His lecture will be widely read at Microsoft, and the people who work there are avid consumers of music, movies, CDs, DVDs and all sorts of other copyrighted art. They will talk among themselves and find that most of them agree with Doctorow. So either Microsoft's leaders will back off from supporting DRM, or they will try to lead their troops where their troops simply will not follow.
So much for heavy-handed computer control of artistic rights! For more on the benefits of gentle copyrights, browse Lawrence Lessig.

Trump to Roll Back Obama's Cuba Policy

Trump to Roll Back Obama's Cuba Policy
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's policy was dubious when announced. His so-called "new course on Cuba" concealed dirty business as usual, strategy and tactics changing, not Washington's objective to return the country to US vassal state status.
Embargo, limited US travel and other restrictions remain in place. So does longstanding hostility toward Cuban sovereign independence.
Normalized relations aren't possible without ending over half a century of lawless embargo. It can be done by executive order, congressional authorization not needed. Obama abstained instead of acting responsibly.
Candidate Trump said he'd reverse Obama's dubious diplomatic outreach by executive order unless Cuba meets US demands.
Straightaway in office, he said he'd "terminate" Obama's approach unless Havana makes significant concessions to Washington.
On Tuesday,
Fox News
said his "administration is nearing completion of a policy review to determine how far it goes in rolling back former President Barack Obama's engagement with Cuba and could make an announcement" in June.
Last week, 54 senators introduced legislation to repeal all remaining restrictions on US travel to the island state.
Rollbacks the Trump administration are considering would adversely affect limited trade, tighten, not loosen travel restrictions, and harden bilateral relations overall short of terminating them altogether.
Daily Caller
said Trump is "set to roll back Obama's Cuba policies." It quoted Cuba Trade and Economic policy president John Kavulich saying "(t)he Trump Administration has been 'ready' since February 2017 to announce changes, but issues unrelated to Cuba have intervened."
Anti-Cuba congressional hardliners want Obama's limited outreach rolled back entirely, hardline policies reinstituted.
Neocon Rep. Diaz-Balart (R. FL) said he's "1,000% sure (Trump will) deliver on his commitment" to be tough on Cuba. "I have no doubt that you're going to see in short order a different policy," he blustered.
Neocon Senator Marco Rubio (R. FL) earlier tweeted he's "quite confident (Trump will) treat (Cuba) like a dictatorship."
Separately, he said "(w)e've been walking through all these issues with the president and his team, figuring out the right steps to take and when."
Reportedly Trump will announce his Cuba policy during a June address in Miami. According to Kavulich, he'll order "increased enforcement relating to travel (and) focus upon discouraging transactions with entities controlled by the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) of the Republic of Cuba."
Instead of responsible change in US policy toward Cuba, Trump apparently intends reinstituting a hardline agenda short of abandoning bilateral relations altogether.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Why you ask? Because you never know where it can take you…
So recently I teamed up with Next Men to showcase their new slick linen suit and loafers. As soon as the clothes arrived I had to do something unique to showcase them and I knew just the place. Daunt Books.
It was around 12 pm when me and Sanvir (@sanvirchana) planned to come to this sexy ass location to do a shoot. Sanvir surprisingly had got there before me… for once (I was obviously fashionably late – ha! ). But as soon as I stepped inside this book store, it gave me a sense of peace, a sense of calmness. I felt like a kid again, wandering into a book store and just wanting to read and flick through every book. I think libraries and book stores just have such a calm aura about them, apart from the smell of fresh books, it's the thought of millions of ideas and stories from all across the globe, stored in one small shop, simply fascinating. I could've literally stayed there for hours…
The colour of the suit and location went hand in hand, and the contrast of the images came out amazing. The thing I loved the most about this outfit was how breathable the suit actually was. It can be daunting (daunt books LOL) – mind the pun, wearing a suit in the summer, but this linen one defo did the job !
So if you're every wandering around London , be sure to check out daunt books ! Grab a coffee, wear a linen suit and start flicking through the pages of a book you probably wouldn't usually read.
Oh and remember, don't judge a book by its cover, why? Well, because you truly never know where a book can take you.

The duo's first two EPs, Cusp (2014) and Well Worn (2016), have received millions of streams, making them a fixture on festival stages across Australia (Bigsound, Splendour in the Grass) and Europe (Great Escape, Primavera Sound, among others) as well as Artists-to-Watch features, like BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Elle Magazine, and VICE — the latter saying Kllo is poised to "very politely take over the world."
2017 brings Kllo's full-length debut, Backwater, a refined, coming-of-age account. Songs were written partially on the road and developed back in Melbourne at Lam's bungalow, a haven that harbors creative spontaneity and catharsis. The album depicts inner adjustment to outer change: being far from home, treading through perpetual uncharted territory while yearning for the comforts of the familiar.
The LP format finds Kllo with more room to breathe and sync their rhythms with emotions. Kaul's smoky voice emanates with assurance and leisure. Lam's production invents brooding, steely undercurrents hemmed with charming crescendos. Their new release — and their most realised work to date — Backwater celebrates the ephemeral and the enduring changes in emotion, the downfalls and the dissolves.
