Nursing Home Manipulate Data For Higher Ratings
Trying to choose the right nursing home for a loved one can be a very difficult endeavor. First and foremost, family members often want to make sure that the loved one will be safe and cared for in the facility. Family members want to make sure that the loved one receives the medical care that he or she needs. Other considerations may entail the quality of facility, amenities and social activities that are made available to the loved one.
When choosing a nursing home for a loved one, family members may be swayed by the ratings that particular facility receives. It is important that family members understand the criteria that is used to provide a nursing home with a certain rating. A recent news article indicates that the ratings provided to nursing homes may not always be totally accurate. Rather, these ratings may be a reflection of certain biases that major organizations like Medicare tend to have.
Recent Inaccurate Medicare Ratings Provided to Nursing Homes
A recent news article published by The New York Times indicates that nursing home ratings may provide misleading information for consumers. The New York Times conducted an examination of the criteria that Medicare uses to provide ratings tonursing homes. The Times found that Medicare does not currently consider complaints filed by consumers or fines imposed upon nursing homes by government entities. A luxury nursing home, Rosewood, received high ratings despite the fact that the facility had received a significant fine for causing the death of one of its patients. Rosewood had received a $100,000 fine for causing the death of a woman who received an overdose of a blood thinner.
Numerous Complaints Filed Against Rosewood
The Times examination also revealed that over 100 consumer complaints had been filed against Rosewood from 2009 to 2013. Another website tracking complaints, the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, claims that Rosewood has been the subject of 162 consumer complaints. This figure is over twice the average number of complaints that are filed for nursing homes in California.
Interviews with Residents Reveal the Reality
Individuals from California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform also interviewed individuals who currently reside at Rosewood. The interviews indicated that residents believed that the home warranted a lower rating than five stars. The individuals felt that there was a shortage of quality staff workers to assist them. They also felt that the home did not provide access to basic supplies and necessities. Individuals also indicated that they thought the conditions in Rosewood were not always sanitary.
Improving the Conditions of Nursing Homes
Nursing homes across the U.S.needto improve upon the care provided to residents. Currently, research indicates that one in three residents are the victims of abuse in U.S.nursinghomes. These entities must develop a greater commitment to the care of patients rather than earning profits. If the condition of nursing homes continues to decline, residents will continue to suffer.
Ensuring Patients Receive Quality Care
Under federal law, patients have the right to receive quality care. This means that a nursing home is under a legal obligation to hire enough staff workers to care for patients. When a nursing home is understaffed, patients can be left without adequate care. They may not receive the proper nutrition that they require. They may not receive the medications that they need. In addition, nursing homes may resort to the use of chemical or physical restraints when they are understaffed. If you notice that your loved one is not receiving the care that he or she needs from staff workers, it may be time for you to file a complaint. Your loved one's nursing home may need to hire additional staff members to deliver proper care that he or she requires.

Healing centers are designed for those who have been deeply hurt in life or have allowed unresolved pain to reside in the body for too long. Extreme circumstances such as exorcism, black magic and possession may have taken a lot of light from your life. You may have created problems in your life on your own that caused you to down spiral into a place where you lost hope. Healing centers are a place where complete spiritual healing can occur for the times when you are unable to heal ourselves. Losing hope means you stop believing that life is worth living or you stop striving to succeed and be happy. If you have spiritual advisors you speak with, they may recommend you attend a healing center.
In healing centers, you are given a lot more attention from healers as well as support of others attending around you. Healing centers can include alternative healing therapy such as heal prayer, healing meditation techniques, bio energy therapy and spiritual affirmations. Complete spiritual healing is easier to master when you are able to focus purely on it. Healing centers often offer week long retreats where you can check out of your normal life and focus on healing.
Healing Centers are available throughout the world and regardless of your religious beliefs, you will find yourself healing spiritually. With support from other attendees, you will find a safe place where you are understood and identified. In this place of safety and security, you only have to deal with your healing process. You'll learn new practices to manage your healing process and learn how to be kind to yourself which often includes nutrition, physical and mental health. Ways of healing can include energy healing techniques like reiki energy or magnet healing, meditation healing techniques or healing of god. There are famous spiritual healers that have healing centers around the world offering refuge based on teachings you may already be following.
For any type of healing, you will likely have to go out of your comfort zone to get to a place of hope. The longer you have been holding onto the pain, suffering or shame the more difficult it can be to let go of. There are guides there to support you through your break through. You are in good hands and will be taken care of no matter what truths are exposed in you. Many tools will bring you to a peaceful and happy place in your life. Healing centers are designed to use many angles to ensure your recovery and a week will be as healing as months of other healing alternatives. In this way, it's often a fast track to healing your wounds and moving forward with your life.
The focus is on providing teaching, nurturing, the clearing of emotions and balancing of mind, body and spirit for all who are seeking peace, harmony, health and progress. All of the Centres are run by qualified teachers, Healers and Counsellors, living and working together. You will meet people that have been through what you've gone through and know how to help you. You'll feel less alone as you realize there are many people suffering in the same way. Much of our suffering derives from feeling of detachment from others. Feeling togetherness with people much like you will help you feel hope. Many times at healing centers, there will be people that were once in your situation who speak out to you. They speak about their spiritual inner healing journey and assure you that you will see hope in time.

Creative Brief
The Product: 3 in 1 Express Makeup Stick
1. Who is the target audience:
The target is young professional women (25-40), all ethnicities and backgrounds. Women in this target market often lead hectic lives, juggling many different responsibilities and tasks on a daily basis. They maintain professional careers, are active in the community and may/may not have a family. As everyday makeup users, they are more knowledgeable about the products. Not only do they know how the products can improve physical appearance, but are aware about potential health effects.
2. Where are we in the mind of the consumer?
Currently Maybelline makeup is perceived in the mind of the consumer as a cheap alternative makeup. It is characterized as inexpensive, tacky, lacking in durability, easily accessible, fun, and is targeted to a younger market (18-24).
3. Where is our competition in the mind of the consumer?
Maybelline's competitors exist on two levels: 1) direct competitors (cosmetics retailed in similar stores, CVS and Target), and 2) indirect competitors (cosmetics retailed in department stores). Although direct competitors, such as Revlon and Cover Girl, are comparably priced, they are perceived as higher quality products and appear to offer "more bang for the buck." Indirect competitors (Clinique and Estee Lauder) offer higher quality products with better packaging, are more expensive, and are sophisticated and definitively illustrate the benefits they have for maintaining healthy skin (oil free and SPF).
4. Where would we like to be in the mind of the consumer?
A quality product that is convenient and easy to apply in place of a foundation, concealer and powder. The product should easily adapt to the consumer's lifestyle while protecting and maintaining the skin [by being oil free and containing SPF]. In addition, the Maybelline brand should convey the ability to maintain...

USANA Biz Centre: 5 Tips for Building Your Business Network
Many people wonder if it's possible to earn a viable living through running your own network marketing business. Not only is it possible, thousands of USANA Associates all over the world enjoy a better lifestyle thanks to their business. How do they do it?
The key to network marketing is reaching a wide network of interested customers. How do you find those people? Our expert USANA Associates share some tips:
Tip 1: Team up with other home-business owners selling products that cater to a similar niche market – for example, skincare products or fitness machines. By organizing joint events, you all broaden your networks.
Tip 2: Even though it's not as lucrative as other forms of marketing, many USANA Associates run successful online direct selling websites and blogs. Some use them as a base for their network to find out about new products, special deals and promotions, and to spread the word on social networking sites.
Tip 3: You can also generate revenue online by teaching direct selling techniques to recent recruits, usually through seminars or your website. Teaching network marketing techniques can be a lucrative side income for your business.
Tip 4: Invite your top twenty customers to a special event and giving them a 10% discount for every friend they bring, up to 30% (three friends). Between the products, your awesome sales pitch, and your customers raving about the products, those friends will soon become regular customers.
Tip 5: Leverage Holidays. Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers and Fathers Day and specific local celebrations are excellent opportunities to host a seasonal event. Gather your favourite customers for a little holiday celebration. Good food, good drink, good company and the need to finish the present shopping put customers in the mood to buy.
Picture from: VIE at home
Be friendly and sociable. The key to increasing your network is introducing yourself to people, showing your products, listening to their stories and making them feel welcome. Network marketing isn't a place for wallflowers and shrinking violets. You have to be bold, brave and willing to take a risk.
Follow these tips and you too could be one of USANA top Associates. If you haven't yet signed up for

I am a doctor, and I am in recovery from prescription medicine abuse.
Some might be surprised to hear that, but the truth is that my profession did not make me immune to the painkiller addiction that started the way many others do — I abused medicine hoping it would help me cope with stress. I had some leftover pain medication after a dental procedure, and I took it in an effort to relax. At first, I thought I had found the perfect solution for my anxiety issues. I felt better.
Eventually, my family intervened, and I checked into a treatment center.
It's important to talk to your doctor about the dangers of misusing and abusing the medicine he or she prescribes to you or your children. If your doctor hasn't yet brought this up with you, it may be time to bring it up yourself.

Show Details
Get ready for the most high-octane, extreme adventure dating competition on television. The Longest Date is an original format created for SABC 3 by Samantha and Graeme Moon.
With Christopher Jaftha as the host, who indeed adds to the attraction of the show. Over the course of 13 episodes, The Longest Date takes 16 ordinary, single South Africans on an epic journey; a journey to face their fears in gruelling challenges and ultimately a journey to find love and claim the grand prize of one hundred thousand rand.
In a first of its kind, home-grown original format, The Longest Date takes 16 diverse, interesting but unlucky-in-love singles and matches them into couples. The eight new couples then embark on a journey to experience the most extreme adventures Mpumalanga has to offer, all the while trying to make a love match.
The Longest Date revels in extreme adventure, but the best moments come from couples finding love in the most unexpected locations. In watching the show, the viewer gets to share the same sense of wonder and excitement at falling in love under intense circumstances, while surely wondering if they could take on such insane tasks themselves. The Longest Date requires that our couples put themselves on the line, both figuratively and literally.
Fraught with drama, excitement and lots of real chemistry, the viewer will watch a romantic comedy play out in real life, with a cast of real people placed into extreme conditions.

Music and drama are a vital part of life at ISB and beyond. Apart from the intrinsic value of these activities at all levels, we believe that the performing arts enrich our understanding of the world and help students learn the dispositions for a successful and fulfilled life: being part of a team, collaboration, shared responsibility, self-confidenc
ISB offers performance opportunities from grade 1 to 12, both as part of the Curriculum and after-school, including: full-scale theatre productions including musicals, self-devised works and straight plays; technical theatre opportunities; strings, band (including jazz) and choir concerts from grade 5 through High School on Campus and at local venues; opportunities to take private music lessons, all available to ISB students.

There's a great deal of uncertainty about what 2017 has in store. After the turbulent and head-scratching year that was 2016, it's only the foolhardy who feel confident predicting what the next 12 months will bring.
That turbulence and uncertainty makes HR an even more challenging place to be. For organisations large and small, it's never been more important to have everyone onside. Pulling their weight. Working together. Being innovative and agile. Taking ownership.
And that's something you told me you were struggling with. Responses to the survey I sent out before Christmas suggest that many businesses are finding it difficult to find, retain and motivate engaged and dedicated employees.
You need something you can rely on. Well, while I might not be able to foresee what the year has in store for us, what I can predict is that my Work Brighter blogs in 2017 will address the specific HR issues that you are experiencing. To help you ensure your organisation is fit for the future it faces.
Here's how I plan to address those issues survey respondents said were their biggest HR issues.
Engagement and motivation
We all know that engaged employees have a positive impact on performance, customer satisfaction and ultimately, the bottom line. It's not surprising then that getting the most out of the people that work for you was a key issue for many.
Those in larger organisations faced the problem of their longest-serving employees becoming increasingly disengaged.
Those from smaller organisations wanted help tackling those individuals who were having a negative influence on everyone else.
A shared problem across businesses of all sizes was the concern that people weren't taking responsibility and ownership.
Over the next few weeks and months, I'll be addressing how to engage and motivate people who have been employees for a long time, how to help employees develop organisational citizenship behaviours and practical tips for dealing with disgruntled individuals who are bringing everyone down.
Is work you delegate to others done to your standards? Do your people expect you to have all the answers? Do you have to be the one to come up with ideas and innovations?
For many respondents, particularly those in smaller businesses, how to delegate effectively and make sure everyone is playing their part were key issues.
If they are for you too, look out for my upcoming blogs on these topics. I'll address how to establish and communicate organisational standards so that everyone knows what's expected of them. And I'll help you with ways to get your team brimming with ideas and solutions for the challenges your business faces.
Recruitment, development and performance
Good people are hard to find. Recruiting the right people has always been and probably always will be a challenge. And it's something that, unsurprisingly, came up in my survey.
Many respondents, especially those from smaller organisations, want to know how to recruit people who are good enough. I'll address this by sharing the tactics established businesses use to attract and recruit the best people for them.
Of course once you've recruited people, the problems don't end. A number of respondents were concerned that new employees often forgot the training they'd received on how to do the job.
I'll tackle this in a future blog by looking at the critical role managers play in helping employees embed and implement their learning.
And when it comes to tackling poor performance, many respondents felt uncomfortable having difficult conversations with individual members of staff. Following up on a blog from last year, I'll talk you through practical approaches to getting to grips with those issues you really need to get to grips with.
All of which means that however unpredictable the year ahead, at least you know what you're going to get from me!
Are there any other issues you'd like me to cover in upcoming blogs? Please let me know.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (Jan. 14, 2016) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy women's basketball team lost on the road at St. Joseph's of Long Island in overtime, 56-55, Thursday night at the Golden Eagles' Danzi Athletic Center. The Mariners fall to 5-8 overall on the season, while St. Joe's improves to 5-10.
Sophomore Tichina Carmon (Greenville, N.C.) had a career night for the Mariners, as she matched her career-best of 18 points and set a new high with 18 rebounds. Classmate Samantha Drake (Centereach, N.Y.) contributed 10 points and Gabrielle Salazar (Memphis, Tenn.) added nine.
The game was sent to overtime on a three-pointer by SJC's senior Rynese Smith with three seconds remaining in the fourth. The Mariners had led nearly the entire game up until those closing seconds.
The Golden Eagles took their first lead since the opening seconds of the game with a three-pointer that made the score 51-48 to begin the scoring in overtime at 3:51. The Mariners responded with a 7-1 run capped off by a layup by Carmon with just 55 seconds remaining that put Merchant Marine ahead by three, 55-52.
However, St. Joseph's sophomore Andrea Iavarone hit two straight layups to put the hosts ahead by one. With six seconds remaining after Iavarone's last layup, the Mariners had a chance to change the ending, but a jumper as time expired didn't fall.
The Mariners' highest lead of the night was 10 points, which they held numerous times throughout the game, including at halftime. The Golden Eagles fought back in the third quarter, outscoring USMMA 18-9 in the period to cut the Mariner lead to just one, 39-38.
In the fourth quarter, Merchant Marine built its lead back up to as high as six points, 44-38, halfway through the frame, but a 10-4 run St. Joe's to end the quarter forced overtime.
Iavarone led all players in the game with 19 points and also had a double-double with a team-best 12 rebounds. Two other Golden Eagles' scored in double-figures, as Smith had 13 points and sophomore Caroline Gehring added 11.
Up next, USMMA will host Landmark Conference foe Juniata this Saturday, Jan. 16. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. or about 30 minutes after the conclusion of the men's game beforehand. Live stats and a live video feed of the game will be available by following those links.

Some people are lucky — they never seem to have a mishap, dental or otherwise. But for the rest of us, accidents just happen sometimes. Take actor Jamie Foxx, for example. A few years ago, he actually had a dentist intentionally chip one of his teeth so he could portray a homeless man more realistically. But recently, he got a chipped tooth in the more conventional way… well, conventional in Hollywood, anyway. It happened while he was shooting the movie Sleepless with co-star Michelle Monaghan.
"Yeah, we were doing a scene and somehow the action cue got thrown off or I wasn't looking," he told an interviewer. "But boom! She comes down the pike. And I could tell because all this right here [my teeth] are fake. So as soon as that hit, I could taste the little chalkiness, but we kept rolling." Ouch! So what's the best way to repair a chipped tooth? The answer it: it all depends…
For natural teeth that have only a small chip or minor crack, cosmetic bonding is a quick and relatively easy solution. In this procedure, a tooth-colored composite resin, made of a plastic matrix with inorganic glass fillers, is applied directly to the tooth's surface and then hardened or "cured" by a special light. Bonding offers a good color match, but isn't recommended if a large portion of the tooth structure is missing. It's also less permanent than other types of restoration, but may last up to 10 years.
When more of the tooth is missing, a crown or dental veneer may be a better answer. Veneers are super strong, wafer-thin coverings that are placed over the entire front surface of the tooth. They are made in a lab from a model of your teeth, and applied in a separate procedure that may involve removal of some natural tooth material. They can cover moderate chips or cracks, and even correct problems with tooth color or spacing.
A crown is the next step up: It's a replacement for the entire visible portion of the tooth, and may be needed when there's extensive damage. Like veneers, crowns (or caps) are made from models of your bite, and require more than one office visit to place; sometimes a root canal may also be needed to save the natural tooth. However, crowns are strong, natural looking, and can last many years.
But what about teeth like Jamie's, which have already been restored? That's a little more complicated than repairing a natural tooth. If the chip is small, it may be possible to smooth it off with standard dental tools. Sometimes, bonding material can be applied, but it may not bond as well with a restoration as it will with a natural tooth; plus, the repaired restoration may not last as long as it should. That's why, in many cases, we will advise that the entire restoration be replaced — it's often the most predictable and long-lasting solution.
Oh, and one more piece of advice: Get a custom-made mouthguard — and use it! This relatively inexpensive device, made in our office from a model of your own teeth, can save you from a serious mishap… whether you're doing Hollywood action scenes, playing sports or just riding a bike. It's the best way to protect your smile from whatever's coming at it!

Wearing braces takes time, but if all goes well the changes to your smile will be well worth it. In the meantime, though, you'll have to contend with one particular difficulty—keeping your teeth clean of disease-causing, bacterial plaque.
Don't worry, though—while keeping dental disease at bay with braces can be challenging, it is doable. Here are 4 tips for minimizing your chances of tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease during orthodontic treatment.
Eat less sugar. Like any living organism, bacteria must eat—and they're especially amenable to sugar. The more they have access to this favorite food source, the more they multiply—and the greater your risk of tooth decay or gum disease. Eating fewer sugary foods and snacks and more dental-friendly ones helps restrict bacteria populations in your mouth.
Brush thoroughly. Brushing with braces can be difficult, especially in areas blocked by orthodontic hardware. You need to be sure you brush all tooth and gum surfaces around your braces, including above and below the wire running through the brackets. A soft multi-tufted microline bristle brush is a good choice for getting into these hard to reach places. Brushing around braces takes more time, but it's essential for effective plaque removal.
Use flossing tools. Flossing is important for removing plaque from between teeth—but, unfortunately, it might be even more difficult to perform with braces than brushing. If using string floss proves too daunting consider using a floss threader or a similar device that might be easier to maneuver. You can also use a water irrigator, a hand-held device that sprays water under pressure to loosen and flush away between-teeth plaque.
Keep up regular dental visits. While you're seeing your orthodontist regularly for adjustments, you should also see your general dentist at least every six months or more. Besides dental cleaning, your dentist also monitors for signs of disease and can prescribe preventive measures like antibacterial mouth rinses. Of course, if you see abnormalities, like white spots on your teeth or red, puffy or bleeding gums, contact your dentist as soon as possible. The sooner a problem can be addressed the less impact it may have on your orthodontic treatment and overall oral health.
If you would like more information on caring for teeth and gums while wearing braces, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Caring for Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment."

via Property Flipping Rules for Mortgages for FHA VA USDA Conventional Appraisals
Category: FHA extends "Anti-Flipping Waiver"
Kentucky FHA Mortgage Guidelines
Why You Can't Get a Louisville Kentucky FHA, VA, KHC, USDA, Rural Housing and Fannie Mae Home Loan
Why You Can't Get a Home Loan.
Why You Can't Get a Louisville Kentucky FHA, VA, KHC, USDA, Rural Housing and Fannie Mae Home Loan
This is probably the most common hurdle. Lenders will have a qualifying credit score depending on the loan type, your background and other details. That baseline also applies to anyone else on the mortgage. So you might have an 800 credit score, but if your spouse is lagging at a 530, you're going to struggle to obtain financing.
Even if you're going it alone, lenders in community property states may still factor in your spouse's credit. The average credit score for conventional purchase loans was 762 in September, according to mortgage software firm Ellie Mae. For FHA loans it was 701. Military borrowers interested in using their VA loan benefits will generally need at least a 620 score.
Conventional and FHA lenders look at two different debt-to-income (DTI) ratios. The first, or front end, ratio compares your monthly income to your housing costs. The second, or back end, ratio considers the percentage of your income that goes toward major revolving debts like the mortgage payment, credit card bills, student loans and others.
Conventional lenders are generally looking for a 28 percent DTI ratio on the front end and 36 percent on the back end. For FHA loans, it's more like 31/43. The VA program only uses the back-end ratio and wants to see 41 percent or less.
Your DTI ratio may not be an immediate application killer. Lenders calculate it based in part on your estimated monthly mortgage payment. It might break your heart, but you can always run the numbers with a lower loan amount to try and get that ratio into qualifying range.
Cash on Hand
Down payment requirements are here to stay (unless you qualify for a VA- or USDA-backed mortgage). Conventional lenders typically require at least a 5 percent downpayment, while the minimum on FHA loans is 3.5 percent. In addition, you'll likely need to put down earnest money, which is basically a good-faith deposit with a seller, and be able to cover an appraisal, a home inspection and possibly other up-front costs.
Assets have become increasingly important in this tighter lending environment.
[Related Article: CFPB Could Pass New Mortgage Rules Soon]
Lenders want to see stable, reliable income and employment that's likely to continue. The gold standard is generally two years, but that can vary depending on the lender, the loan type and the borrower's circumstances.
For example, service members who separate from the military and take civilian jobs may not have to wait two years depending on how the new employment relates to their skillset, education and previous work serving our country.
What's especially problematic is self-employment. There are a lot of unknowns for lenders here, and they're almost always going to require at least two years of tax returns. Same goes for seasonal workers and those who work on commission.
Bankruptcy or Foreclosure
Foreclosure starts hit a 71-month low in November, according to RealtyTrac, but they've impacted hundreds of thousands of homeowners since 2008. More than 1.2 million people filed for bankruptcy protection in federal court in FY2012.
Each presents short- to medium-term obstacles to obtaining home loans. The waiting periods vary by event and by loan type. Bankruptcy means waiting anywhere from two to four years in many cases. The wait after a foreclosure can range from two to seven years.

FHA extends "Anti-Flipping Waiver" to Help Stabilize the Market
Effective currently until December 31, 2011, FHA loans in Kentucky will continue to allow the 90-day waiver for all properties acquired directly from a lender, but prohibitsKentucky FHA financing for properties owned less than 90 days if the sales price is greater than or equal to a 20% increase over the seller's acquisition cost. The 90 days is calculated from the seller's acquisition date to the purchase contract date of the new transaction.
If the resale occurs within 0 to 90 days, the following requirements must be met:
1. All transactions must be arms-length; no identity of interest between buyer, property seller or third parties. Specific ways to ensure an arms-length transaction include:
Property seller currently holds title to the property. LLCs, corporations or trusts serving as property sellers must meet all applicable state and federal law.
No pattern or previous flipping activity exists on the property (as evidenced by multiple title transfers within 12 months.
The property was marketed openly and fairly (Any sales contracts with "assignment of contract of sale" may be a red flag).
2. Transactions with sales price greater than or equal to a 20% increase over seller's acquisition cost are not allowed.

Life Lessons Queen Elizabeth II Received From Princess Diana
This year makes it the 22nd year that Princess Diana died and we still can't forget the phenomenal woman that she was. During her lifetime, she was involved in charities all around the world and even handled some personally, an act which was rare for a royal. Despite passing away at a young age of 36, Diana left behind a legacy that many people have learned from.
Her compassionate and down-to-earth nature has inspired people to become better versions of themselves. And one of such people is Queen Elizabeth. Even though it seemed like the Queen and Princess Diana didn't have a healthy relationship when she was alive, the monarch sure picked one or two life lessons from the People's Princess. In fact, her emotional openness towards the people she rules is as a result of Diana's death. Are you curious about what lessons the lofty monarch picked from Princess Diana? Stay tuned to find out!
The Queen gets quite a lot of attention from the media for many reasons, one of them being that she is the ruler that has served the longest in Britain. She even celebrated her 65th year on the throne two years ago. We're hopeful that we get to see her celebrate her 70th year on the throne in the year 2022.
However, this wasn't always the case for Queen Elizabeth, as the people turned on her after Diana's death. She wasn't always a favorite of the British citizens. Many believed the monarch acted wrongly after the princess' demise as a result of the friction in their relationship. However, all that changed when the Queen made some adjustments after Princess Diana's death. Could it be that she took lessons from Diana's life?
Princess Diana was by far the most relatable royal as she was unlike all other members of the royal family. They were composed and lived very privately; Diana, however, was charitable and unreserved. She was the exact opposite of Queen Elizabeth and broke all rules that defined a royal. Princess Diana was prone to baring her feelings which is unusual for the Royals.
These attributes of hers made the people absolutely love her because they felt they could connect with her. She wasn't standoffish as she humbly talked to people she made contact with. There were no barriers between the public and Princess Diana. However, all that came to an end when she died.
Princess Diana died on the 31st of August, 1997 in Paris. She was in a car with her rumored boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed and was being hotly chased by paparazzi. The driver, Henri Paul, started speeding along the Cours la Reine and entered a tunnel under the Place de l'Alma — just across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower and down the hill from the Arc de Triomphe. He then lost control of the car due to speed.
The driver and Dodi lost their lives instantly. Reports were that Princess Diana suffered a concussion and a broken arm. An ambulance arrived at the scene at about ten minutes later and tried removing her from the car for like an hour. She was taken to Pitie Salpetriere hospital and to the emergency surgery room straightaway. At 6 am that day, the doctors announced that she lost her life two hours earlier as a result of cardiac arrest. Diana had an internal injury in her left pulmonary vein and bled a whole lot.
When the news of Princess Diana's death broke out, there were lots of people who couldn't believe the bubbly and beautiful woman had died. Everyone, especially British citizens couldn't contain their sadness. The entrance to Kensington Palace was flooded with people who came to pay tribute to the people's Princess. There were lots of flowers, cards, and stuffed animals in condolence of her death.
Reports have it that over a million bouquets of flowers were at the gates of Kensington Palace. The citizens of Britain were in tears on the streets consoling each other. There was a queue to sign a book of condolences that didn't seem to reduce overtime. She was that important to them and they tried their best to show it.
At the time of Princess Diana's death in Paris, the royal family was vacationing at Balmoral in Scotland. They decided to remain there because of Prince William and Prince Harry, who were just 15 and 12 respectively, so they can have time to understand what has happened and grieve.
Yet the public was quickly enraged when they heard nothing from the Queen about the death of Princess Diana. Days after, nothing was heard from the royal family. It was reported that The Sun newspaper published a headline that read:
"Where is our Queen? Where is her flag?"
The public expected more show of emotion from her family members, especially the Queen, and when they heard nothing, became confused and annoyed.
The silence was broken at last on Friday, September 5, 1997. Queen Elizabeth II commiserated with the public in an emotional speech. She said:
"What I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart. First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her — for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys."

She continued saying:
"This week at Balmoral, we have all been trying to help William and Harry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and the rest of us have suffered. No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her. I for one believe that there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death."
Princess Diana's demise changed the royal family, and the Queen most especially. The outburst and rage of the people at the Palace's response to her death was something Queen Elizabeth learned from. Ever since, the Queen endeavored to be more soft, more affable, and more available for the people. An example was seen when there was a fire outbreak in London at the Grenfell Tower in 2017.

The Queen paid a visit to the people who were affected. She also personally gave thanks to the people who volunteered at the fire incident. A survivor, Rhianna Levi who was 17 years old testified saying:
"The Queen looked like she had so much compassion when she was listening to me. We could talk to her. No-one was being blocked off by police. The Queen showed she cared."
We are sure that Diana's compassion had something to do with this new approachable British royal family. The Brits are joyous with this wonderful change.
Princess Diana's memory is evergreen, and so is her legacy. She has left her footmarks in the sand of time and for that we're grateful. She was popular for a lot of things like her great fashion sense and beauty, but her kind heart was the most notable. It's wonderful to see her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and their wives do the same.
What do you think of the touching speech the Queen wrote after Princess Diana's demise? Do you think the late princess had a thing to do with Queen Elizabeth's relatable nature? Tell us in the comments section and share this article with a royal fan today.

Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
Here are my rules of writing:
1. Entertain your readers.
2. Don't confuse your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
A scene outline is a means of writing a novel where each scene follows the other with a scene input from the previous scene and a scene output that leads to the next scene. The scenes don't necessarily have to follow directly in time and place, however they generally follow the storyline of the protagonist.
A storyline outline is a means of writing a novel where the author develops a scene outline for more than one character and bases the plot on one or more of these storyline scenes. This allows the scenes to focus on more than the protagonist. This is a very difficult means of writing. There is a strong chance of confusing your readers.
Whether you write with a scene outline or a storyline outline, you must properly develop your scenes. All novels are developed from scenes and each scene has a design similar to a novel. Every successful novel has the following basic parts:
1. The beginning
2. The rising action
3. The Climax
4. The falling action
5. The dénouement
Every scene has these parts:
1. The setting (where, what, who, when, how)
2. The connection (input)
3. The tension development
4. The release
5. The output
There are lots of approaches to scene setting. That means there are about a million plus ways you can set a scene. The main point is you have to clearly get across the where, when, who, what, and how.
You can use whole scenes to set the who. Here is an introduction scene with the setting of the children from the novel, Sister of Darkness. This novel is on contract and should be published soon. Paul Bolang is a major character in the novel. Leroa Bolang is a major character. The children are secondary characters except Lumière. Lumière is a major character in the novel. Here is a whole scene used for character setting from the novel.
As soon as the motorcar came to a halt, a couple of footmen opened the house's large double doors and marched out to it. The butler stood in the open door and behind him waited two stately individuals.Tilly didn't wait for the footmen, she threw open her own door, made an exaggerated gesture to Leora and her children, and started up the walk toward the entrance.
"Hello Roger, Gerald," she greeted the footmen.
"Milady," they answered with a quick bow and a smile.
Tilly turned around to see Leora and the children step out of the motorcar. She cocked her head and waved at them, "Come on. I'm sure supper's waiting just for us."
Leora settled her new skirt. Robert and Jacques hurried up behind Tilly. The girls stayed close to Leora, but preceded her. When they all reached the door, the butler bowed deeply to Tilly, "Good evening, milady. You made good time."
Tilly handed him her wrap, "Good evening, Goodberry." He stepped back.
"Matilda!" the older lady stepped up toward them. Lady Hastings was the reflection of an older Tilly. Her hair was still slightly brown but with many streaks of grey. It was put up in an elegant coif that wrapped gently around her head. Her features were warm and her eyes bright. She smiled a lot, and the smiles seemed to well right up out of her spirit. She knew all about what young girls needed and wanted though Tilly never fully appreciated this characteristic in her mother.
"Mother," Tilly took her hands and kissed her mother. "Come on, Father."
The older gentleman stepped forward, "Evening, Matilda." Lord Hastings was taller that either his wife or daughter. His face was aristocratic, but pleasant. Whatever he said or wore, he couldn't appear stuffy. It was simply impossible. He was too used to being the master of himself and others. And he knew too well how to entertain.
"Father," she kissed his cheek, "You remember my very good friend, Leora Bolang." Tilly pulled Leora forward.
Leora curtsied, "It is nice to meet you again Lady Hastings, Lord Hastings. I hope you are well?"
"Very well, thank you," Lord Hastings took Leora's hand. "Matilda speaks continually of you. We can't thank you enough for your encouragement." He lifted her hand to his lips.
Lady Hastings embraced Leora and kissed her cheek, "My dear, we are well, but how are you?"
Leora lifted up a bittersweet smile, "Well enough, thank you. May I introduce my children to you?"
Lady Hastings glanced up expectantly.
Tilly swept Leora's children before her, "No! It is my pleasure to introduce these marvelous children to my parents. May I present to you, children, Lord and Lady Hastings, my parents. Father, Mother, this is Lumière Bolang. She is twelve, loves archeology and speaks more languages than I have heard."
Lumie're curtsied. Her face was well formed and lovely. The complexion was lighter than Leora's but still a warm coffee cream more akin to the coffee Marcel made for Leora than a hearty British cup. Her body was thin and vibrant with an undercurrent of powerful energy. Her eyes were almond shaped like her mother's and her lips pleasant and delicate. A brief smile flitted across them. Lord Hastings lifted her hand and Lady Hastings kissed her cheek, "You are welcome here, my dear."
Tilly pushed Robert forward, "This is Robert Bolang. He is eleven, studies science and mathematics. He also loves languages."
Robert bowed. His thin frame was still athletic and strong. He stood straight and unperturbed. His face was like his father's, slim and thoughtful. Lord Hastings shook Robert's hand, and Lady Hastings reached her hand out to him.
Jacques stepped up and glanced expectantly at Tilly.
"This is Jacques Bolang. He is ten, and follows in his father's footsteps. He is a gentleman in more than one modern tongue and a few not so modern."
Jacques firmly shook with Lord Hastings and bowed over Lady Hastings hand, "I am very pleased to meet you. Mother and Father have often spoken of your friendship."
Tilly held Marie by the shoulders, "And this is my favorite Greek scholar, Marie Bolang."
Marie reached out to both the elder
Lady Hastings grasped Marie's hand and laughed. Lord Hastings took her other hand and grinned, "You mustn't always believe what Aunt Tilly says." He placed his finger on the side of his nose and winked.
Marie returned an exaggerated wink.
Leora placed her hands on Marie's shoulders, "My children are still children. Please excuse their exuberance and forwardness."
"Pshaw," Lord Hastings blew through his mustache, "They are all sweet and well behaved. Do not correct them for stating the obvious—especially when that includes Matilda. Now all of you come along to supper. Goodberry informs me our repast is ready, and after your long trip, I am sure your young stomachs are all prepared to be filled."
You can see that in this example from the novel, I use the scene to reintroduce the children by description. I also use Tilly as the describer. This builds on the original descriptions and character setting I accomplished at the beginning of the novel. It also gives the reader a second view of the children and Leroa--a view through the eyes of Tilly.
An author is not limited to simply using narrative for description. An author can use conversation and the eyes of other characters to provide description. This is an advanced writing technique that you should use when appropriate. You should try this as an exercise. More tomorrow.
I'll move on to basic writing exercises and creativity in the near future.
The following is a question asked by one of my readers. I'm going to address this over time: Please elaborate on scene, theme, plot, character development in a new novel creation....ie, the framework, the development, order if operation, the level of detail, guidelines, rule of thumb, tricks, traps and techniques.
I'll repeat my published novel websites so you can see more examples: http://www.ldalford.com/, and the individual novel websites: http://www.aegyptnovel.com/, http://www.centurionnovelthesecondmission.com/, http://www.theendofhonor.com/, http://www.thefoxshonor, http://www.aseasonofhonor.com/.

A new report this morning states that shipments of Apple's new iPhone series launching in mid-September are expected to reach 70-75 million units by the end of the year, the best performance since the launch of iPhone 6 series, according to industry sources. This is expected to push up the revenues of main supply partners including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Foxconn to hit new highs in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Digitimes reports today that "most supply chain partners are expected to see revenues pick up significantly along with smooth production and strong shipment momentum before peaking in the fourth quarter of the year.
Among them, TSMC, which has landed all the 7nm foundry orders for A12 application processor chips for the new iPhone devices, has seen its revenues pick up starting in July, offsetting a significant revenue contraction ensuing from the sharp decreases in orders for crypto mining ASICs from China's Bitmain and Canaan Creative.
The foundry is also expected to fully recover in the fourth quarter from a virus infection's impact on its third-quarter sales performance in August, allowing the company to maintain a higher single-digit growth for its 2018 revenues.
After scoring revenues of US$16.31 billion for the first half of 2018, TSMC is estimated to rake in revenues of US$8.28-8.38 billion in the third quarter and see its fourth-quarter revenues hit a new quarterly high of US$10.4-10.5 billion in the fourth quarter, according to its latest revenue estimates.
TSMC may see 20% Revenue Contribution for new 7nm Processors
Industry sources said that besides volume fabrication of Apple's A12 AP chips on 7nm process, TSMC will also use the process to produce HiSilicon's Kirin 980 chipsets for Huawei's latest new-generation Mate 20 flagship series that will hit store shelves in October, as well as Qualcomm's new-generation Snapdragon 855 SoCs to be released soon. By the end of 2018, 7nm process is expected to contribute 20% to the foundry giant's annual revenues for the year, and the contribution ratio is estimated to surge further in 2019, when 7nm volume production of Nvidia and AMD GPU chips are set to kick off.
The assembly of new iPhone devices are shared by Foxconn and Pegatron, with the former landing the majority of the assembly orders for the two OLED-screen models and 30% of orders for the LCD model, the sources disclosed.
Bolstered by the volume production of the new iPhone models, Foxconn saw its July revenues hit a new high ever seen for the same month and its revenue growth momentum is expected to remain through the end of 2018. The company's profitability for the second half of the year is expected to be significantly better than the first half, the sources indicated."
