Scotland GPs see small increase in numbers after decade of no change
The number of GPs in Scotland rose slightly last year after a decade of no change, workforce figures suggest.
At the end of September, the headcount for GPs in Scotland was 4,994, an increase of 75 GPs compared with the previous year, the Scottish Information Services Division reported.
Much of the rise was made up of female GPs who now make up 61% of the profession.
The figures also show that 32% of GPs are currently 50 and over down very slightly from a high of 34% in 2014.
Since 2008, the numbers of GPs in Scotland had remained largely unchanged while the number of patients has risen by 5% with elderly patients increasing by 20%.
The Scottish Government said the figures showed they were making progress towards their commitment to increasing the number of GPs in Scotland by at least 800 over the next decade.
Health secretary Jeane Freeman said: 'To build on this we are investing a further £7.5 million in 2018/19 in GP recruitment and retention.'
She added that by 2020/21, medical schools places would have increased by 22%, equivalent to an extra 190 places.
'The new GP contract, backed by £110 million this year and negotiated with the BMA and GPs, introduces multi-disciplinary teams to practices to ensure GPs are able to spend more time with patients, and less time on bureaucracy, making a career in general practice even more attractive to younger doctors.'
BMA Scotland GP Committee chair Dr Andrew Buist urged the Scottish Government to build on its commitments made in the contract.
'For a long time it has been clear that action was needed and we have seen the first positive steps through the new GP contract.
'That has also meant the Scottish Government has made important commitments to deliver additional health professionals to meet patient needs in communities across Scotland, as well as promising to train and recruit a further 800 GPs.
'These commitments have been welcomed by the profession and now we must see the detail of how the Scottish Government expects to meet its promises.'
He added that in the short term it was essential to retain GPs currently working and in particular focus on GP wellbeing in the face of significant workload pressures.
Readers' comments (6)
@6:47 Stelvio. I very much doubt it'll help recruitment in a lesser taxed England. Most of us enjoy living north of the border and I for one accept the increase in tax we have to pay for the benefits we gain. However the job in General Practice is still overwhelming and I don't personally see any improvement but a general decline in working conditions with worsening patient care and services. Left partnership a while ago as a result. The changes are not fast enough. The rhetoric is aspirational. These figures don't seem to add up to what I see and hear in the ground.

Entry fees are: £5.10 per event for Division 4 (i.e. £10.20 for both days) and £6.60 for Division 3 (£13.20 for both days). If you are promoted from Division 4 on Saturday, your entry is automatically transferred to Division 3 on Sunday.
We are suggesting traveling down Friday evening and staying in local accommodation, there are a number of bunkhouses, hotels and B&Bs nearby. If anybody would like to take on the challenge of finding some suitable accommodation for paddlers, parents etc? Please feel free, it would be nice to all stay in the same place and have some social time together.

About Simon Hopkinson
A lot of my work comes from an interest in British urban scenery. I tend to avoid recognised attractions, seeking out the views which more reflect my spirit or, increasingly, what I feel is the spirit of the age. Using my photos as a guide, I aim to paint something a bit freer than photorealism while keeping the mood of the place photographed. I am more concerned with atmosphere, colour and socially relevant content than with concept or form. Aesthetically speaking, my main message would be that beauty is much wider than conventionally accepted — arguably universal — and not something confined to elegant shapes or particular types of subject. I look to combine what for me is the visual appeal of my preferred locations with a sense of contemporary malaise.
Growing up in Yorkshire I began using a camera aged 12, discovering Northern cityscapes in my teens. After moving to Bristol in the mid 1980s, I explored some of the city's less cherished spots, using the photos for my first acrylic paintings in 1994. I am self taught.

text: There are a lot of '57 Chevys out there. Heck, just look through our inventory and you'll find 20 or so nice ones. But if you like the stock look but a more modern driving experience, this handsome light blue 2-door post sedan offers some nice upgrades that make it look old and feel new. And that, we've found, is always a winning combination.Yes, we're kind of tired of the bright red '57s, too, so this Tropical Turquoise Bel Air comes as somewhat of a breath of fresh air. No doubt it's got that pastel look that only '50s cars can pull off successfully, and combined with the bright Bel Air trim and a white top it has a period-correct look. Remarkably, the paint is 26 years old, and with that in mind, it's pretty amazing. It isn't perfect and there are a few signs of use here and there, but I don't think you'll get any complaints at shows when you're driving this car. Gaps are good, the sheetmetal is straight, and quite honestly, the car has a lovely old-school patina to it that only adds to its appeal. Sure, you could repaint it and make it perfect, but I think that would be a mistake. All the original trim is in place, and despite the presence of an LT1 under the hood, they kept it as-delivered without the stylized V or flag emblems on the nose, suggesting this was originally a 6-cylinder car. Nice chrome bumpers, beautifully polished stainless, and an overall look of a car that's been loved make this Bel Air very appealing.The interior is simple but offers important upgrades to make it a fantastic cruiser. It was presumably done at the same time as the bodywork, so it's a bit dated, but it's also comfortable and spacious, making this Bel Air perfect for long-range cruising like the Power Tour. Those are factory seats underneath the custom blue seat covers, and attractive custom door panels were created to match, tying it all together nicely. Dark blue carpets with matching original-style mats make it feel grown-up and serious inside, a nice contrast to the playful pastel paint. Upgrades like air-conditioning and an AM/FM/cassette stereo system mean this car is daily-driver friendly and the original shifter has been reconfigured to work with the 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Factory gauges and a restored steering wheel make the view authentic from the driver's seat, and the trunk gets a nice upgrade in the form of full carpets and a space-saver spare.The engine is a Corvette-spec LT1 350 cubic inch V8, one of the very best powerplants to come out of GM. Reliable, smooth, and impressively powerful, it's a natural for updating this old Chevy. Obviously it's a neat fit and with factory fuel injection, it starts, idles, and runs superbly under almost any conditions. An aftermarket serpentine belt system drives the accessories, and there's a modern dual-reservoir master cylinder with front disc brakes for safety. The suspension is pretty stock save for a big front sway bar, and the dual Flowmaster exhaust gives it a hot rod sound that you'll find irresistible. The rear is upgraded to a stout Ford 9-inch with 3.50 gears inside, so this Bel Air just loafs along on the highway. And it really is hard to go wrong with Rally wheels, especially with fat 225/60/15 radial wrapped around them.A wonderful combination of old school looks and some modern tech, this is a highly usable '57 that really does offer the best of both worlds. Call today!

Surprise win for Dorian Coninx and Javier Gomez returns to WTS podium in Bermuda
For the second year in a row, Bermuda proved the perfect race for earning debut WTS golds. Last year it was Norwegian Casper Stornes who surprised everyone by claiming the title, an honour that this time went to Frenchman Dorien Coninx, surprising all to claim his first ever World Triathlon Series win with a legend of the sport like Javier Gomez Noya claiming silver and the Norwegian Gustav Iden repeating the third place that he got 12 months ago.
"I am really happy", said a delighted Coninx after crossing the finish line. "Especially because after Abu Dhabi I was a bit disappointed, and when you start the season so badly is very hard to get over it. But I did, and during the race, I was just thinking about enjoying it", he explained.
Things didn't start well for the three-time World Champion and leader until today Mario Mola (ESP) when he was trapped in a group that veered too far right on the first lap of the swim, losing precious time. On the other end of the choppy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, his training partner Vincent Luis (FRA) stretched the field from the first strokes and opened a gap that proved to be decisive.
Luis was followed closed by some other really strong swimmers, including Henri Schoeman (RSA), Alois Knabl (AUT), Aaron Royle (AUS) and Igor Polyanskiy (RUS), but two legends in the form of Jonathan Brownlee (GBR) and Javier Gomez Noya (ESP) were keeping a close eye on them and not letting them go. By the end of the 1500m swim, Luis was still leading, but the gap was almost non-existent, and a long queue of athletes formed behind him.
The Frenchman knew that getting out on the bike first would be really important on a course as tough as this, and he delivered. Luis pushed hard from the first metres of the first lap, to be followed by another 20 men pushing to break away, knowing that the famous Norwegian trio was in the pursuing group, and would do whatever it took to catch them.
For four laps out of the ten, Luis, Brownlee, Gomez Noya, Marten Van Riel (BEL), Henri Schoeman (RSA) and Antonio Serrat Seoane (ESP) took turns to lead up the infamous Corkscrew Hill, but the difference with the chasers, led by the Norwegians, grew smaller lap by lap. More than a minute behind them was Mola, not used to finding himself so far off the leaders.
Sensing that the Series leader was out of the game, the leaders and the first chase group, which included Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden and Casper Stornes (NOR), amongst others, kept pushing to close the gap, helped by Fernando Alarza (ESP), Hayden Wilde (NZL) and Bence Bicsák (HUN).
By the end of the seventh lap, both groups had merged into a huge pack of 33 riders, with almost all the big names - except Mola and Jacob Birtwhistle (AUS) - right there. Just when it looked like the large group was going to try to save some energy for the run, which could also be a bit of a break for Mola - now almost two minutes behind -, Jonas Schomburg (GER), Jorik Van Egdom (NED) and Dorian Coninx (FRA) decided to go for it and try to break away down the last kilometres of the bike course.
Schomburg, in fact, managed to arrive alone at the second transition and began the run refusing to look back, knowing that just behind him were some of the strongest runners of the field. Luis, Blummenfelt, Gomez Noya and Iden started the chase right away, and halfway through the 10km run, it looked like the medals were going to be decided among these three. But another Frenchman, Coninx, had a different idea on mind. Coming from behind, he first connected with the four leaders to quickly leave Blummenfelt and Luis a bit behind.
Gomez Noya didn't want to wait to the final meters and did his final push maybe a bit early, enough for Coninx to pass him with 200 metres to go. Iden looked determined to improve on his third place from last year and fight for the silver, but in a final sprint, Gomez showed exactly why he is a five-time World Champion, with some titles won exactly like this: sprinting right to the end.
Luis crossed the finish line in fourth place, enough for him to claim for the moment the leadership of the Series, with Mola in one of the worst results of his WTS career, on 26th place. Blummenfelt and Pierre LeCorre (FRA) followed them, with Bicsak, Joao Pereira (POR), Alarza and Leo Bergere (FRA) finishing a top ten that included an impressive number of four Frenchmen.

Russian stocks can fall on sanctions fears, run for safety
MOSCOW, Sep 6 (PRIME) -- The Russian stock market will likely fall at opening on Thursday weighed down by investor fears of stricter sanctions and a continued outflow of capital from risky assets, analysts said.
"The risks of scaling up the sanctions by the U.K. reemerged yesterday. Theresa May, the prime minister, promised that London will lobby the extension of sanctions against Moscow more actively due to the claims against several intelligence service employees in the Salisbury tragedy case," Anna Bodrova, senior analyst at Alpari, said.
Anton Startsev, a senior analyst at investment company Olma, said that an outflow from emerging market assets continues. Fitch's reduction of ratings' outlooks of five Italian banks to Negative can affect investors' activity as well.
The Asian markets fall, as well as oil futures, the dynamics of U.S. stock market futures are close to zero. According to Alexei Antonov, an analyst at Alor Broker, these factors will contribute to negative dynamics in Russia.
According to Bodrova, the MOEX Russia Index will open with a 0.1–0.2% downward gap at 2,310–2,335.

Stop Complainers and Energy Drainers
End the workplace drama and get more done!
Price: $139
Format: Digital Downloads
Product Details:
Every team has at least one person who complains — a lot. Many teams have more than one chronically negative person. So whether those people are self-appointed devil's advocates who point out flaws for the sake of the group or employees who basically just whine about everything, the constant negativity has a way of working its way through the group and becoming toxic.
Morale suffers. Productivity declines. Conflicts among staffers escalate. Stress soars. That kind of toxic workplace will almost always lead to poor group performance, failure to reach team goals—and ultimately, turnover.
Moral of the story: You can't afford to ignore the chronic complainers on your team. Put an end to energy- and time-draining complaining, and turn your team into a group of problem-solving superstars. In this information-packed presentation, Linda will teach you how to put an end to complaining.
Learn how to:
- Stop complainers from wasting your time.
- Turn complainers into productive contributors.
- Get more done with less drama.
- Empower employees to solve problems on their own.
- Teach complainers to communicate their concerns productively.
- And much more!

A fictional authoritarian government implements Humanitarian Eugenics. Low income adults who conceive children get extra taxes that year. High income adults who raise children get a tax break every year. The intent is to have more children in safer and more plentiful environments.
@nexech While well-intentioned, the administration failed to consider n-order effects; within a few generations, their policies had strictly stratified society and created semi-permanent castes, with poor parents often choosing to give their children up for "adoption"; both to give their progeny a chance at a better life, but also for a cut of the new parents' tax break.

I really like these Icelandic lighthouses, especially the old ones.
Too bad the little café inside was closed, a good reason to come back someday.
If you're lucky to visit Iceland, it's just a short drive from the international airport.

Sip Some Wine at Broad Run Vineyards This February
Take some time to slow down this February, and go sip some wine at Broad Run Vineyards. This local vineyard produces 30 different wines. Go taste some of them, and go explore this Old World-style winery.
Broad Run Vineyards
Broad Run is a family-run vineyard built in the style of European wineries. The vines here actually do come from Europe, and the vineyard you'll see here today is the product of 25 years of hard work. It all began with 20 varieties of grapes planted on 15 acres, an experiment to see which vines, if any, would grow well here in Kentucky, and which would produce the best wines.
The first commercial vintage was released in 1994, and today Broad Run is a thriving winery that encompasses more than 70 acres of sprawling land, and 25 acres of vines. Broad Run has an 8,000-square-foot winery and tasting room that's open every Wednesday through Friday from 2 to 6 pm, Saturday from 1 to 7 pm and Sundays from 2 to 6 pm. You're welcome to stop by for a taste any time you like. You'll find the vineyard at 10601 Broad Run Road. That's right down the street from Mt. Washington, the historic small town where it's easy to dream big.
Get a Taste of Mt. Washington
Mt. Washington was established as a small town in the early 1800s. Back then, the town was home to about 700 people. Today, the large Mt. Washington Middle School stands on what used to be a two-room schoolhouse. Mt. Washington has been moving ahead with the modern era since those very early days, and today you'll find a thriving little city here that's still steeped in history.
The neighborhood is historic, and you can find several historic homes here, but Mt. Washington is very much a modern community. There are new homes being built here all the time, and many brand-new homes that have never been lived in. Homes in Mt. Washington are big, because there's lots of space to sprawl out here. The houses are big because the lots are big, and spread apart, so families here get to enjoy a sense of privacy and a feeling of being out in the country that's hard to find in Louisville. The spacious lots and wide-open spaces of Mt. Washington have plenty of room for big dreams, and lots of dream homes.
Get a taste of Mt. Washington this February, and you'll want a whole lot more from this beautiful community.

It was his dream to run his own enterprise. Fascinated by the world of computer science and the internet, this young lad from Thrissur decided to stray away from medical science in search of his future business partners.
His desire and passion led him to the doorways of the Lal Bahadur Shastri Engineering College, Kasargod. While in his fifth semester, he had sketched the blue print of his company and was compelled to choose between academics and entrepreneurship. Needless to say, he chose the later and today has been fortunate to have been supported by the several major players in the business world. These players include the Twitter co-founder, Biz Stone.
Deepak Ravindran co-founder of Innoz and is the founder and CEO of Lookup. He had founded Innoz in the year 2008. This firm had soon become one of the world's largest offline search engines that would provide information via SMS. Innoz had over 130 million users worldwide. As time went by, the team had realised the need to be part of the smartphone app development industry.
Lookup, a free messaging app, enables consumers to chat with those running local businesses. Deepak is now the CEO of the firm. Deepak also mentioned that Lookup is working towards entering all domains so as to ensure effective local commerce. In short, Lookup is likely to be the 'Google' of local businesses.
Apart from acquiring over 200,000 downloads, Lookup has also managed to involve major investors to raise funds for the company. At present the firm is working towards raising funds worth 3 million dollars. Recently, Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, had agreed to invest in the firm and also mentor the team at Lookup.
"The whole incident was rather interesting. I met Biz Stone, about three years ago, at Silicon Valley. Biz is also the founder of an app called Super. So, when I visited the place three weeks ago, I had informed him that I was in town. We agreed to meet up for coffee. We were discussing about business opportunities that existed outside the USA, including India. I requested Biz to mentor us. But the request had led to the most unexpected surprise of all. Twitter's co - founder Biz Stone, thus, said they would invest in our firm," Deepak explained.
Deepak has also been closely associated with the world of startups since 2008. "I would visit the Silicon Valley often so as to learn more and gathering a better understanding of entrepreneurship. It is a good platform to gather a number of ideas," he said. He has been part of the Startup Village since its inception and has been on the board that is instrumental incubating over a 500 startups.
"Platforms that help facilitate startups teach you a lot. You learn many aspects of a business the hard way," he said. When asked about whether he had regretted his decision to discontinue to his education, Deepak stated, "No. I had to follow my dream. College to me was not about learning, or about how to be an engineer but to find the right business partners. My parents had, in fact, told me that I would have a better marital life had I become a doctor. But I chose to do otherwise."
He also explained that one shouldn't become an entrepreneur for the sake of being a entrepreneur. A company is your life, not a part-time job. I do not hail from a business background. In such cases, the journey is harder. It is a lot of hardwork and it involves a lot of sacrifices that ought to be made on the personal front. To be a good entrepreneur you need to have a great idea, a great time and most importantly a great mentor. These are the aspects that can help you scale up the ladder, he elaborated.

Teachers have an important role helping children acquire the knowledge, strategies and awareness necessary to become effective readers and writers. An emphasis on planned, deliberate teaching along with providing opportunities for other incidental literacy learning is critical. As children begin formal instruction at school they have to know how texts work and in particular that there is a relationship between what they hear and the written text they read or create through writing. Teachers cannot assume that children will learn to read and write by being in a literacy programme. They need explicit and direct instruction, focused on specific outcomes.
Learning to read and write is like being a 'code cracker'. Writing has conventions that require the decoding and encoding skills of reading and writing letters, words and text. Learners have to master not only the code, but also use their knowledge and strategies to get meaning from what they read, and to convey meaning through what they write.
Many teachers regularly provided highly motivating opportunities for children to develop and enjoy their writing. They gave children a purpose to their writing and encouraged them to write about things meaningful to them. Teaching was focused and well paced, helping children to maintain enthusiasm and participate at a challenging and achievable level.
As children master the skills involved in decoding, their reading becomes more fluent, freeing them to use more of their cognitive abilities to work out the meaning of different sorts of texts. Similarly, as they master the expertise needed to record sounds, spell words, and form sentences, they become more fluent writers and can then apply more of their thinking to convey meaning in increasingly sophisticated ways for different audiences.
Schools brought about positive changes in teaching practice through managing their own PLD. School leaders or lead teachers in schools, shared literature about best teaching practice. Teachers observed and shared recognised good practice that they could then introduce into their own classes. Lead teachers mentored colleagues to use an increasing set of teaching approaches, and school leaders and trustees identified ways for supporting teachers to enhance their content knowledge and skills.
Effective teachers create an environment in which children's learning flourishes. They understand that children learn best when they are accepted, acknowledged for who they are and are able to actively contribute to their own and others' learning. However, a positive and supportive environment alone is not sufficient to promote children's literacy progress and achievement.
When children come to school they bring existing knowledge and experiences gained from social, cultural and language settings outside the school. This knowledge is used to construct meaning and develop new understandings. The diversity among learners can present a challenge for teachers. They need in-depth content knowledge of reading and writing teaching to recognise and build on what the child knows.
Successful teachers used a range of reading teaching practices and combined these to cater for the needs of students from different cultures and with differing abilities. Teachers captured children's interest, helped them to identify word patterns, encouraged them to share ideas, explored the meaning of new words and helped them to progress and achieve.
Effective teachers made expectations clear to children by talking about their reading and writing goals. They explained to children why they were working towards these and why they were important. They also discussed progress towards these goals with parents and, together, decided on how parents and families could work with their child to support ongoing learning.
Effective assessment is focused on improving teaching and learning, and on raising achievement. It involves the process of collecting, analysing and using information about what children know and can do. Teachers with rich information about children's reading and writing skills can actively involve them in their learning, by helping them understand what they need to do next to progress. They can also collect and share assessment information with parents and whānau to support children's reading at home.
Teachers collect assessment information in different ways. Sometimes this is informal and constructive in supporting immediate learning needs. Most often it is planned and systematic. To be effective, teachers need to be clear about which assessment tools and reference points to use, and how best to apply these to help them plan for, and monitor, their children's achievement and progress.
Teachers are also involved in making judgements about how well children are achieving. This involves drawing on and analysing evidence gathered up to a particular point in time. Effective teachers were skilled at using the range of formal and less formal sources of information to make these judgements. They could match these with the targets and expectations set, and had ways of ensuring that their judgements were consistent with those of their colleagues.
The expectations of both school leaders and teachers can influence the rates of children's progress or actual success. Even when teachers are focused on children's learning, inappropriate teacher expectations can undermine them, or impede practice. Teacher expectations have been found to vary according to student ethnicity, ability, gender and other characteristics unrelated to a student's actual capability.[22] In his early review of two decades of research on teacher expectations, Good [23] concluded that the critical element in teacher expectations was training teachers to expect to teach students effectively regardless of the child's current performance.
Effective leaders work collaboratively with teachers to analyse their Years 1 and 2 assessment data before setting goals or targets designed to improve achievement. They make important expectations, targets or milestones known to school trustees, teachers, students and parents. Leaders assist each of these groups to understand how they can help children achieve the agreed expectations.
Monitoring student achievement and progress is a key area of accountability for school leaders and boards. Inquiry-focused leaders develop a professional and reflective school climate where teachers and trustees are encouraged to examine achievement data to decide where learning and teaching improvements are needed. They are highly interested in how well students are developing and progressing as readers and writers from when they start school.

Views and Surprises from Gencon regarding Malifaux / M2E
Anyway, this is not an article to talk about me, but instead some of the other news and discoveries that came back from Gencon. Let's start by talking about Malifaux Terrain. There was a fair amount of talk about the "increase" in terrain requirement in M2E from Malifaux over the past couple months. Most people felt this was a good move, although there has been some concern from and about LGS's having enough appropriate terrain for the new requirements. Malifaux has always been a fairly terrain intensive game, especially when compared to the "typical" tournament set-ups for WM/H and some of the GW games. Terrain plays an important role in the game and as a TO for a variety of large events I have been on the recieving end of "Not enough Terrain" complaints.
I was very excited when I heard that this year Wyrd had tasked Mack and Justin with building the boards that would be used at the Gencon events. I am confident that it was the whole office who spent time building out the boards, as even 16 boards is a lot for 2 people to build in a couple weeks. This was great news because the Malifaux Community could be confident that the boards would be built to specifications for the appropriate amount of terrain on a tournament board, as viewed by the developers of M2E. Even more exciting for event organizers, there would be some definitive answers for what the appropriate amount of terrain would be for future tournaments. The past 2 years Gencon has always been a scramble to build out as much scatter terrain as possible from Terraclips sets provided to volunteers and employees the day before the convention.
On comparison to previous years Gencon boards, I think this strikes somewhere in the middle of what was built in 2011 and 2012. In 2011 the Gencon boards were pretty sparse in coverage overall, which drew some fairly critical comments from the players and the spectators of the events. I grabbed one of my pictures from 2011 for comparison, this being a board I actually played on during the Masters of Malifaux tournament. You can see that some effort was put into creating interesting terrain from the terraclips but there was no where near enough to really meet the requirements for Malifaux.
Overall, I expect that this change in the expected terrain will impact the game in a couple ways. First, I expect that overall players will just ignore the Gencon 2013 set-ups and continue to set-up the boards they want to play on. The second impact is a bit more insubstantial overall, as it will impact the development and balance of the game going forward. I think the most important aspect for future Malifaux players is that we (the community) now have a glimpse into how the developers feel the tables should be set-up, so we can gain some more understanding on how that terrain should/will impact the game and model balance. The board I see above has distinct advantages for ranged crews while minimizing some of the impact of both "swarm" crews and melee centric crews.

Personally, I find it more indicative of the overall rush, rush, rush, get this ish out by Gencon mentality that Wyrd is trapped in, which has only gotten worse since bringing Mack and his gamer ADD on board.ReplyDelete
Yes, let's task the core developers of M2E with terrain setup and / or allow them to volunteer to do so. Nevermind that they were supposed to be devoting their time and attention to Through the Breach, not a second edition, in the first place.
Secondly, as Gencon is reporting record attendance, it was probably that factor alone, which contributes more word of mouth, that led to Wyrd selling out of products so early. I'm not privy to their business practices or shipping logistics; however, if they didn't just have their shipping container(s) of their initial Gencon items delivered directly to Gencon, instead of splitting it up in any way, they're doing it wrong. Let the transport be an expected expense. Then they don't have to cart things home.
Or, here's an idea, forget either California, the new northern California location, or Georgia. Relocate to the vicinity of Gencon, as it seems to be their sole focus. If your warehouse is located right down the road, then refilling stock is as easy as driving the next loaded truck down to a loading bay. Save on rent on multiple offices, transit for multiple employees, convention room and board for said employees, etc. Reconsolidate.
Heck, open your new Indy office as an official Wyrd store.
Interesting thing seen at Gencon:ReplyDelete
Certain people associated with Wyrd getting huffy that people wouldn't immediately drop what they were doing to allow the Wyrd people to do what they wanted. The poor sods who fell in the firing line were really not happy with the Wyrd people, with all right.
It was truly pathetic to see, especially as the people who were in the way are very well known in the minis industry.
The one thing that I find kinda disapointing is that most of the other miniature companies have some kind of epic well crafted display board showing off their game and the minis. Did Wyrd have one? Cause if they did no pictures of it showed up ever from all the ones I was seeing from gencon. They went to a convention where your trying to show off how cool your game is with terrain I'd find at a local game store. Rivet Wars had an awesome display terrain board as did warhammer and 40k. I was hoping to see something awesome from Wyrd too.ReplyDelete
+ "Grasping at straws" another one for you.ReplyDelete
I get that the presentation is lackluster considering the amount of hype that gencon receives. However citing the terrain setups at gencon as somehow indicative of how M2E boards are supposed to be setup is drawing a narrow minded conclusion.
Personally if I wanted to know how much terrain the designers of M2E suggest I play with. I would check in the rules manual.
The manual that is still in transit for most people, unless they were physically at Gencon? Where they didn't have the time to read the whole book as they were busy playing on sanctioned boards. Sure, it's a bit of a stretch, but their boards should set the standard, giving everyone a clear picture of what our boards should look like. More or less terrain than intended will lead to vastly different play experiences than we should be having. Of course, as has been postulated on the now closed forum thread regarding five turns being a bandaid covering balance issues, more terrain could also be an artificial balancing factor. "Of course your game went that way. You should have had more terrain."ReplyDelete

The LAVATUBE E-cig is a monster of a vaping device. This E-Cig is a large and powerful beast that is very different from most E-Cigs. There is no standard twist and put on a cartridge and then jump right into the gaping experience. This is a large E-Cig designed to maximize the first puff hitting the back of the throat and carrying through to the flavor, and full-on punch with each successive puff.
No Spillage
Waste and spillage is a thing of the past with the LAVATUBE E-Cig. The threading where the cartridge meets the atomizer is so fine, there is no way a drip or drop could get out. So when I filled my LAVATUBE I was really impressed with the screw off/on the procedure and how extremely secure the threading makes it. I hadn't experienced anything this solid with any of the other E-Cigs I have tried or used
Pros & Cons
My one complaint with the LAVATUBE is that I have to be precise when I put in the battery. This is not like other E-Cigs. If I didn't get the battery in complete alignment, I ended up having to unscrew the holding panel and trying again. It was a little frustrating, but once I got it, I found the battery was perfect. It held a charge for me for what would be equal to around a full pack of traditional smokes before I had to plug in the USB charger to get the battery back up to full power. On that topic, getting the battery fully charged takes less time than a lot of the other E-Cigs I have used, which was a surprise considering the size of the LAVATUBE and the power it uses for the delivery.
Final Thoughts
Holding the LAVATUBE and smoking it is a bit different from a cloud of traditional smoke. This is a big wide E-Cig, like a silver cigar, so holding it felt a little awkward at first. But once I got used to it in my hands and fingers I found I liked this feel more than the E-Cigs that have a more traditional smoke design. I also liked how it looked funky when I was smoking from it. This is definitely a head-turner of an E-Cig. I recommend the LAVATUBE for its power and for its cool, funky design.

Hello Bobcats!
I wanted to start with a HUGE SHOUT OUT to all the coaches and athletes for their hard work and flexibility this summer. Our coaches provided quality practices and camps even though we did not have access to our facilities this summer. I very much appreciate your dedication and willingness to go above and beyond!
We only have a few minor changes for this year. The biggest one being we have implemented a parent pick up policy. We are not allowed to leave students unaccompanied. We wholeheartedly understand that things happen, a child may not communicate properly, etc., but I also hope you understand that after a long day of coaching and teaching it is difficult to wait for extended periods of time for a guardian to pick up their students. We have decided that if a parent is not at the school within 20 minutes of the bus arriving, the coach can ask that you pick up your student at the Sheriff's Office where there is a deputy on site. I apologize for any inconvenience that may cause. In addition, in order to comply with CHSAA bylaws we will be eliminating warning weeks in regards to eligibility. On the first week of each semester or quarter that I would normally pull eligibility, that will be the one and only warning week. If they are listed on the ineligibility report at any time after that, they will be deemed ineligible. If you have any questions regarding eligibility, please reach out.
I am a firm believer of sports education. There are so many things that are taught in athletics that sometimes are not addressed in the classroom. The athletic department is committed to teaching your students important life skills. Among these skills are teamwork, perseverance, working past adversity, courage, determination and hard work to name a few--of course this list is not all inclusive and there are so many more skills that we incorporate into all our practices and games. Our hope is along the way they also learn sport specific skills.)
We have a very dedicated coaching staff and we love working with your kids. Winning is our goal, but our purpose is so much more than that. Our job is to help shape the lives of your students and create lifelong relationships while maintaining high standards and accountability. I ask that you respect our chain of command. If you have an issue, please encourage your student to talk to the coach first, again, this is a life skill and being able to advocate for yourself is extremely important as you navigate through life. If that has not solved the issue, then as a parent, please contact the coach. If the problem still persists, then you can get administration involved. Remember, together, WE ARE BOBCATS! I am so excited to get started and look forward to a successful and rewarding year.
We are always looking for help, so if you have any time to volunteer for games, please let me know. I also send out a weekly email addressing games times, leave times, and important information--please email me if you would like to be added to that email list.

Renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said he will co-operate fully with an "impartial investigation" into allegations of sexual misconduct that have been levelled against him.
Patheos.com recently published accounts from two women who say that Dr Tyson behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner toward them.
Dr Tyson was host of "Cosmos: Possible Worlds" on Fox in 2014 and a new edition of the series was to air on National Geographic next year.
In a Facebook post that came to nearly 1600 words and was titled 'On Being Accused', Dr Tyson denied an accusation that he groped a woman and he denied that he made sexual advances toward a production assistant when he invited her to share wine and cheese at his home.
He apologised for making the production assistant feel uncomfortable.
Fox and National Geographic Networks have said they will conduct a thorough investigation.
In his Facebook post, Dr Tyson wrote: "I've recently been publicly accused of sexual misconduct. These accusations have received a fair amount of press in the past forty-eight hours, unaccompanied by my reactions. In many cases, it's not the media's fault. I declined comment on the grounds that serious accusations should not be adjudicated in the press. But clearly I cannot continue to stay silent. So below I offer my account of each accusation."
"Accusations can damage a reputation and a marriage," he wrote.
"Sometimes irreversibly. I see myself as loving husband and as a public servant — a scientist and educator who serves at the will of the public."
As Fox Broadcasting and National Geographic continue their investigation, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where Dr Tyson directs the Hayden Planetarium, said it was looking into the accusations too.
In a joint statement, the producers of his show Cosmos wrote: "The credo at the heart of 'Cosmos' is to follow the evidence wherever it leads. The producers of 'Cosmos' can do no less in this situation.
"We are committed to a thorough investigation of this matter and to act accordingly as soon as it is concluded."
Fox Broadcasting also issued a statement, saying: "We have only just become aware of the recent allegations regarding Neil deGrasse Dr Tyson. We take these matters very seriously and we are reviewing the recent reports."
In the Patheos article, Dr Katelyn N. Allers of Bucknell University claimed deGrasse Dr Tyson groped her at an event in 2009.
Dr Allers has a tattoo of the solar system that goes from an arm to her collarbone. She said Dr Tyson was "obsessed" with whether it included Pluto.
"He looked for Pluto, and followed the tattoo into my dress," she said, saying it as "uncomfortable and creepy."
In his Facebook post, Dr Tyson wrote that Pluto had been declared no longer a planet.
"So whether people include it or not in their tattoos is of great interest to me," he wrote.
He said he did not know until now that Dr Allers was uncomfortable.
"That was never my intent and I'm deeply sorry to have made her feel that way," he added.
Another woman, Ashley Watson, claimed in the article that she quit her former job as his assistant in response to repeated inappropriate sexual advances he made toward her.
Watson said in an interview that on one occasion he asked if she would like to come to his home to share a bottle of wine and "unwind for a couple of hours."
She agreed and while in his apartment, she said that he told her that "as human beings, we all need release," and asked if there were any "releases" she needed.
As she went to leave and he asked to show her what he called a Native American handshake — clasping their hands together and finding the pulse on each other's wrist, while looking into each other's eyes.
She stopped it after about 10 seconds, and went to leave.
She said he told her: "I want you to know that I want to hug you so bad right now, but I know that if I do I'll just want more."
The next day she drove Dr Tyson home from work. It was part of her job. She said he told her: "You say you want to be a producer, but it's always going to be an uphill battle for you because you're too distracting." She quite the show and did not want to file a complaint.
On Facebook, Dr Tyson said the handshake was used "in appreciation of people with whom I've developed new friendships."
"My intent was to express restrained but genuine affection," he wrote.
He also wrote that she had come into his office after the night in his apartment and told him she had been "creeped out." He said he "apologised profusely" and she accepted his apology.
Both allegations came to light about a year after musician Tchiya Amet claimed that deGrasse Dr Tyson raped her when they were both graduate students at the University of Texas.
She recalled he gave her a drink of water before she blacked out. When she woke up she recalled being naked on his bed.
She said he then had sex with her before she passed out again.
She filed a report with the Austin police in 2014, but according to the police report, her complaint was not investigated.
On Facebook, Dr Tyson said they had a brief relationship and had been "intimate only a few times all at her apartment, but the chemistry wasn't there".
"Meanwhile, according to her blog posts, the drug and rape allegation comes from an assumption of what happened to her during a night that she cannot remember. It is as though a false memory had been implanted, which, because it never actually happened, had to be remembered as an evening she doesn't remember. Nor does she remember waking up the next morning and going to the office. I kept a record of everything she posted, in case her stories morphed over time. So this is sad, which, for me, defies explanation," he wrote.
Dr Tyson hosted 2014's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a science anthology in the vein of author Carl Sagan's 1980 series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. A sequel, with Dr Tyson again set to host, is set to premiere next year on Fox and sister cable channel National Geographic.

Hello! My name is Amber Whitener, and I am the owner of Virtual IT Assistants. I am so excited to begin a WordPress blog with other talented Virtual Assistants so we might all learn from each other!
At work, I am revving up for another new year full of prospects and possibilities! Over the past year, I have tried countless applications and services that have been developed (with an intent) to make our jobs and staying in touch, easier. Because we are all in the business of meeting needs as efficiently as possible, I am going to share some tools that will help you streamline your business processes.
This post is to reveal a new service that I have found to make life and business better with a little automation. You know how it is when you find a twenty dollar bill in your pocket? Services and applications that really do some of my work for me is like finding extra money every day! Time is money right? This is especially true for small businesses. So, let's get to it!
Ok, so you've heard about Google Voice. Maybe you've already received your invite and had it set up. Even if you don't use it as a main contact number, you may find this feature handy. Google Voice will be your own personal transcriptionist! Log in to your Google Voice account and go into settings under "Voicemail and SMS" and turn on "Transcribe Voicemails". The name is self-explanatory; it will transcribe your voicemails into text and email you the transcription. I called my Google Voice number, left myself a message, and here are the results of my test.
This is an MP3 of my actual voicemail:
And this is how Google transcribed the message:
Hello, this is Amber Whitener and I am testing out the ability of the transcription for. Duke'll voicemail and this getting really handy if this works because I am always writing down quick messages and just making myself. Bunch of own notes to remember it's a blog about, or just even tasks I need to do, but if you call myself in the house on my own voicemail type it out for me. That would be awesome. So anyways, this is my test and hopefully it works, and even with background noise because I've got commercials and people on the background so that's right. Bye.
As you can see, the accuracy isn't perfect, but neither is our handwriting when we jot down a note. Right? I even rambled on a little just to see what it would type out and how long it would go. It seems it will record and transcribe more than a minute of text! I imagine that the type of phone you use to leave yourself the message could matter, but I had a lot of background noise and it was still a very good result. After all, if you had to be in a completely quiet and optimal setting, this wouldn't be as valuable a tool. However, I am very pleased with this result and it was simple enough to setup, even for a beginner.
Thanks again for the great new tool, Google! Stay tuned, I'll be sharing more every Monday.

Cardiologists and other healthcare professionals are inundated with more information than ever, are facing changes in reimbursement and practice patterns and are undertaking more administrative/nonclinical duties.
Richard A. Chazal, MD, FACC, of Lee Memorial Health System in Fort Myers, Fla., acknowledged these issues and more in an editorial published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on April 13.
Still, Chazal wrote that cardiologists should not forget the American College of Cardiology (ACC) mission statement: "transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health."
Chazal, who assumed the role as the ACC's President earlier this month, noted that advances in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to treatments in heart failure, managing hyperlipidemia and hypertension and extending lives for patients who used to not respond to treatments.
He added that the ACC has more an international presence than ever before with hospitals and practices in China, Mexico, Brazil and Saudi Arabia participating in National Cardiovascular Data Registry initiatives. In addition, nearly 60 percent of submissions to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology come from outside the U.S.
Physicians are learning in a different way, too, with more of an emphasis on online learning, mobile applications and smaller meetings. Cardiologists are also treating older patients and more patients with comorbid conditions and significant cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. In addition, they are working and communicating more with nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, cardiovascular administrators, pharmacists and emergency medical personnel.
More changes are coming, as well, according to Chazal. He mentioned that the Medicare and CHIP Reautorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) "has the potential to have a bigger effect on U.S. health care than the 1965 creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs themselves."
Under MACRA, which repealed the sustainable growth rate formula, physicians treating Medicare patients will now operate under a value-based system instead of a volume-based system. Although the details of MACRA have not been finalized, Chazal expects other payers to follow suit and adopt more of a value-based system.
"In a changing environment where some will embrace and leverage change (and flourish), others may find the challenges overwhelming," Chazal wrote. "It is my belief that the best and the brightest are also most likely to be those flexible and adaptable enough to find great success (professionally and personally) in this environment. Further, the move toward a value-based system presents the potential for a better model than one based solely on volume without heed to demonstrable quality. Those well-educated, dedicated physicians and team members who are practicing evidence-based medicine in a cost-effective manner will likely (and hopefully) be the same per- sons who best succeed moving forward. Implementation of change is going to be difficult and the transition fraught with anxiety—but few real accomplishments are achieved without angst."

In 1982 the Argentinians stupidly invaded the Falkland Islands in an attempt to turn their peoples attention away from their economic problems and ended up in a war. Lord Carrington, then Foreign Minister, immediately resigned on the grounds that his attention had been elsewhere and he had failed. Margaret Thatcher attempted to persuade him to stay on, as he could have done, but he felt he ought to go and he did. This was the last time a Conservative Minister resigned with dignity, since then all others have had to be pushed and some of them were far from dignified in their going. Of course some of the opposition members have also fallen foul but mostly it now appears the Conservative policy to never resign whatever the fault, lying, deceiving, cheating in government or at home all should be shrugged off and keep the party together no matter what.
The keeping the party together is of course the real problem. In the 19th century Sir Robert Peel took a brave stand for the sake of the nations economy and ended the Corn Law that protected some and increased bread prices for the majority, this broke his party in two and they were out of office for thirty years after that. In 1867 Disraeli brought in a Reform Act that gave a million men the right to vote, not that he wanted to but he worked with Conservative MPs that did not wish an election in case they lost their seat and radicals who he despised just for spite against William Gladstone and pushed through a radical reform act he did not really want. Theresa and her colleagues are involved in similar games now, either break the nation or break the party, she has chosen the party as have they and soon they will all lead us to destruction, and then they too will be destroyed. Amber (Who calls their daughter 'Amber?') has lost out to save Theresa, but she will be back.
What a mess.
The latests April shower has blown a gale since last night and limited my opportunities for travel.
So I did the laundry instead...
Sitting here watching the rain lash against the window I am cogitating on those who cannot get out at any time. Folks in hospital for months, those trapped in old folks homes, the sick and the old. What must it be like to be trapped all day indoors let out only when a friend or family member arrives to aid you, and what if there are no such people? How lucky I am that I can get out and about, how grateful I am not in a wheelchair or sick and in pain. How grateful for the good life God has given such a man as I.
I have spent some time attempting to sort my files. This means switching from one to another via the laptop, dumping some (usually deliberately) and trying to work out what others actually are. Scandisk could make it better by the brutes not switching themselves off constantly. This of course could be the fault of this laptop, the cursor slides too easily, even after amending the thing, and slips past where it ought to go and sits where it ought not. I wish I had just stuck to the laundry...
