When you are ready to begin a new practice, expand your current practice, or purchase an existing practice, you need a trusted source for healthcare lending and small business lending. Your practice is not just another dental office or medical office. Your business is a group of doctors, nurses, staff members, and patients who rely on you. Therefore, you need to know that you can locate a healthcare lender who can supply the small business lending resources needed when your practice requires additional cash flow for any reason.
If you are searching for a trusted source for healthcare lending, it helps to understand the current trends in small business lending and the healthcare industry.
Merging Practices or Joining Healthcare Systems
In some cases, a healthcare practice may merge with another practice or join a larger healthcare system instead of seeking additional funding from an outside source. By merging practices or joining a healthcare system, practices can reduce overhead. However, many small businesses wish to remain independent. For those medical offices, locating a trusted company to provide healthcare lending services is a must.
Online Lending Sources Decrease the Wait Time for Funds
Online lending sources have continued to grow as small business owners utilize the internet to transact business, including searching for and applying for healthcare financing. For many medical practices, applying for a loan online is quicker and more efficient than using a traditional or local bank. With additional small business lending websites appearing all the time, the online healthcare lending market continues to make it very easy to fill out a form and obtain loan approval within a few hours. For many practices, choosing a non-traditional lender is more efficient and quicker.
A New Approach to Healthcare Lending
Healthcare and small business lenders are becoming more proactive just as many medical groups are turning toward value-based healthcare. Instead of just loaning money to a practice, healthcare lenders are utilizing other resources to help business owners grow, improve, and strengthen their medical practices.
Patient-centered care has become one of the leading trends in the healthcare industry. Some small business lenders recognize the shift to patient-based care. Therefore, some healthcare finance companies include tools and other resources as part of their financial services. The resources and tools help medical providers implement new processes to transition their practices toward patient-centered healthcare. Choosing a provider for your healthcare lending needs that offers resources and tools in addition to financial can help your practice succeed.
Traditional Banks vs. Other Lenders
Many traditional banks offer long-term financing and SBA loans. Traditional healthcare lenders often have the lowest interest rates and longer repayment terms. However, traditional banks typically require much more documentation and paperwork than alternative lenders. In addition, the loan process with a traditional bank can take much longer.
On the other hand, other lenders have emerged as non-traditional healthcare lending companies. Many of these lenders operate online offering small business lending solutions to medical practices and dental practices. While obtaining a loan from a traditional bank has certain advantages, companies that specialize in healthcare lending services offer some benefits that a traditional bank does not offer.
For example, non-traditional lenders have a wider variety of loan types, rates, and terms. Some companies also offer debt consolidation for healthcare practices. In addition, the application process is streamlined so that you receive your funds in days instead of weeks or months.
Consider all Healthcare Lending Options
You have a wide variety of companies to choose from for your small business lending needs. Carefully review each company and review all terms and conditions before determining the solution that is best for your practice.

Five people have been arrested in connection with the February home-invasion death of rapper Pop Smoke in Los Angeles.
Three men and two juveniles were arrested on Thursday, police confirmed.
The 20-year-old New York rapper, whose legal name is Bashar Barakah Jackson, was killed Feb. 19 at a home in the Hollywood Hills. A 911 call from a friend of someone in the house reported armed intruders inside the home, police previously said.

Police announced the arrests Thursday on Twitter. Additional information was not immediately available.
"LAPD Detectives have arrested three adult males & two juvenile males related to the Feb. 19 murder of Bashar Jackson, a New York-based rapper known as Pop Smoke. We will provide further details as they become available," the LAPD HQ Twitter account revealed.
LAPD Detectives have arrested three adult males & two juvenile males related to the Feb 19th murder of Bashar Jackson, a New York based rapper known as Pop Smoke. We will provide further details as they become available.
— LAPD HQ (@LAPDHQ) July 9, 2020
Authorities did not initially believe the rapper's death was related to a robbery. The home where the shooting occurred is owned by Edwin Arroyave and his wife Teddi Mellencamp, daughter of Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer John Mellencamp and a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Pop Smoke was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on Feb. 19.
Teddi Mellencamp previously said on Instagram that the couple had been notified of the shooting at their rental property but knew no more than what they had seen in media reports.
The Make It Rain rapper's record label, Republic Records, confirmed his death in a statement at the time, saying, "We are devastated by the unexpected and tragic loss of Pop Smoke. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans, as we mourn this loss together."
Pop Smoke's posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon was released last Friday, nearly five months after he was shot and killed.

Pop Smoke's posthumous album includes features from Lil Baby, DaBaby, Future, Migos' Quavo, Swae Lee, Rowdy Rebel, 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch, Tyga, Karol G, Lil Tjay and King Combs.
It was initially set to be released on June 12, but was pushed back to July 3 because of the ongoing protests against anti-Black racism and police brutality that followed the death of George Floyd in the United States.
His family announced a non-profit foundation named Shoot for the Stars, which the rapper founded before his death, with a focus on helping inner-city youth and helping to turn "their pain into Champagne by making their dreams a reality."
Earlier this year, he released the album Meet the Woo 2, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. It was the follow up to his first official release, Meet the Woo. He also had the popular hit Gatti with Travis Scott and Jackboys and Dior.

For the eighth time in 10 seasons, the Chicago Bulls are headed to the playoffs.
After demolishing the Brooklyn Nets in a 112-73 win, the Bulls will meet the East-leading Boston Celtics in the first round of the postseason. The question now turns to how the Bulls can stop the Celtics, even if only for one game.
Countless variables will remain key throughout this series, though several high-level themes will prove pivotal for the Bulls.
Here are some thoughts on three of the primary concerns.
How do the Bulls guard Isaiah Thomas?
Corralling a 5-foot-9 point guard should be an easy task for a league full of behemoth athletes. It would be if I was running the point for the Celtics, but I'm not. Instead, they have a guy who ranks only behind Kevin Durant in true-shooting percentage among players with a usage percentage greater than 25 percent.
That's correct. A 5-foot-9 point guard drafted with the last pick in the second round of the 2011 draft has become one of the games' most efficient scoring superstars.
Isaiah Thomas has had an unbelievable season, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game. His numbers are other-worldly and in any other year he would be considered an MVP candidate.
Stopping Thomas is critical if the Bulls are to have any chance of taking games away from the Celtics. How they plan to do so, and more importantly, how they execute such a strategy is the key question in this series.
Put simply, the Bulls do not have a guard on the roster that has any chance of limiting Thomas' impact. Despite a strong defensive rating, the Bulls a weak defensively on the perimeter, and will be starting two below league-average defenders in its backcourt.
Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade returning to the starting unit and likely playing 30 or minutes in the postseason ensures a poor perimeter defense for the Bulls. Neither are suitable defensive matchups for Thomas, nor are backup guards Jerian Grant and Michael Carter-Williams — even if they have more length, quickness and guile.
With no obvious matchup existing for Thomas, a common suggestion that will be floated is testing Boston's over-reliance of Thomas by trapping him and forcing lesser offensive talents to create and score. While an aggressive, trapping defense which doubles Thomas at every opportunity has merit, the Bulls are not the team who should try to apply it.
Chicago have struggled mightily all season once opponents begun to move the ball. Help defense fails when communication is non-existent. If the Brooklyn Nets are capable of exposing the Bulls' inability to talk and help on defense, what will the league's ninth-ranked offense be able to do?
Should the Bulls decide to press hard on Thomas, two defenders will be drawn to the Boston All-Star, meaning a Celtic teammate will likely be open. That may seem like an ideal strategy, however, Boston are a fantastic passing team who thrive on three-point shooting. Allowing them to outnumber a poor Bulls help-defense risks giving up many threes. If the Bulls want to limit the amount of threes launched by the Celtics, trapping hard shouldn't be an option.
Really, the only individual match up that makes sense is having Jimmy Butler guard Thomas. Taking a cue from the Miami Heat, who tried to check Derrick Rose with the larger LeBron James in the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls could use Butler's size and nous to control Thomas.
Though that seems advantageous for the Bulls, how realistic is it to ask Butler to carry the heaviest offensive load whilst guarding one of the best scorers in the league? It's a potential option for stretches in the fourth quarter, however, for 48 minutes over a minimum of four games, at best it's a situational opportunity.
Perhaps the most effective way to mitigate Thomas' influence is not on defense, but on the offensive side of the ball. Exposing his defensive limitations and trading his own made baskets for scores on the other end is likely the only way the Bulls can draw level with Thomas' production.
In moments when Butler does guard Thomas, potential advantages on offense exist should the Bulls be able to come away with quick defensive stops that forces Thomas to guard Butler in cross-match scenarios. In traditional, half-court sets, assuming the pint-sized point guard is matched up against Rondo, Chicago can also try pick-and-roll sets between Butler and Rondo which force Thomas to switch onto Butler. Using his size on the perimeter or in the post will allow Butler and the Bulls are a favorable offensive matchup whilst draining Thomas physically on defense.
These are several basic suggestions that will prove more effective than hoping Rondo rediscovers his best defensive form. Stevens will surely counter, so Hoiberg will need to react with creativity. But with the Thomas developing into one of the league's most credible and potent offensive weapons who will unlikely be stopped, an unorthodox approach may be best.
Limiting the influence of the three-point shot will be difficult
The three-point shot has revolutionized basketball, and the Boston Celtics are at the forefront of pushing modern offenses further away from the mid-range shot.
As a percentage of total field goals, only Houston and Cleveland attempt more threes than the Celtics — 39 percent of their field goals are three-pointers. A third of the Celtics' offense is been generated from three-point makes.
Clearly, Celtics coach Brad Stevens has emphasized the use of the long-range shot and rarely plays any lineups without three or more shooters on the floor at all times. All five Celtics starters have a three-point percentage above 35 percent. Only four Bulls on the entire roster are above that mark.
There undoubtedly will be a deficit in three-point makes and attempts between the two teams; Boston make 12.0 three-pointers per game, Chicago only convert 7.6 threes. Unless the Bulls catch fire and match the Celtics in makes, they will need to find other avenues to even the ledger. Curbing the amount points created from three can only happen by restricting the amount of attempts.
That begins with controlling Isaiah Thomas, who launches 8.5 threes on 37.9 percent shooting in 33.8 minutes per game. The Bulls will need to decide how they will guard pick-and-rolls and whether to fight over screens or slidindg underneath. If the Bulls go under picks, Thomas will have many open looks from deep. Should they fight over screens, Thomas' quickness will create issues in the paint, allowing his drive-and-kick game to create looks for Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley and Al Horford, who will be waiting on the wing for catch-and-shot threes.
The Bulls will need to pick their poison, but whatever the option, the only way to contain the Celtics and their three-point barrage is to communicate on defense and scramble on the perimeter. Stevens will naturally play lineups that intend to fire up a heap of threes, often running out three guards, a wing and a small center. Hoiberg cannot stay big in these scenarios. Smaller units have a chance at running shooters off the line, traditional two big man lineups will be killed. A second unit with Portis and Felicio trying to closeout shooters is a disaster waiting to happen.
Hoiberg may have settled on a rotation, but he will need to adapt. Butler or Zipser will need to see minutes at power forward, enabling another guard to take court. It's the only possible remedy in curtailing the amount of threes attempted by the Celtics.
Do the Bulls actually have a rebounding edge?
Season-long metrics suggest the Chicago Bulls are a top-five rebounding team and the Boston Celtics are a bottom-five. As such, the simplest and most obvious advantage the Bulls stand to have over the Celtics will be on the glass. Or is it?
The offensive glass and second-choice points was supposed to be a weapon for the Bulls, but recent trends suggest otherwise. After Ranking second in the league in offensive rebounding percentage and third in total rebounding percentage prior to the All-Star Break, Chicago have reverted into a mid-tier rebounding team after the mid-season break. Conversely, Boston have improved on the glass since the Feb. 20, leaping from 27th in rebounding percentage to 14th – only two spots behind the Bulls.
Dealing Taj Gibson to the Oklahoma City Thunder has clearly impacted the team's ability to recover their own misses. The Celtics simultaneously improving on the defensive glass may render a once assumed edge into obsolescence.
Attributing a regression in rebounding to an improved Bulls offense is partly true. A more efficient offense will lead to less available total misses for a team to board, though a reduction in rebounding rate is a product of playing with more spaced-out lineups with shooting options at power forward who don't rebound nearly as well as the bigger, hulkier lineups from earlier in the season.
That's the trade-off the Bulls have made by moving on from Gibson. Nikola Mirotic spreading the floor and creating easier lanes for Jimmy Butler has been a benefit for the efficiency of the offense. Bobby Portis and Joffrey Lauvergne often play away from the rim, too.
While the offense has marginally improved since the All-Star break, has it been enough to counter a previously existing dominance over the Celtics' frontline? Definitely not. An increase of 0.6 points per 100 possessions isn't nearly enough to make up for a lost advantage.
In order for the Bulls to steal several games from the Celtics, they will need to recapture their thirst for controlling the rebounding battle. If they don't, very few other benefits exist.

As part of the plans to improve Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the country, the Ministry of Health launched the first air medical service in Hormozgan Province recently.
The ceremony was held at Hormozgan Airport with Health Minister Hassan Hashemi in attendance.
The air ambulance, a specially outfitted helicopter, will provide 24-hour services across the province. Hormozgan in an area of 80 sq km has a 1,500 km long coastline and 14 islands which makes transport and logistics difficult. Therefore, air medical service is crucial to the provincial health system. The chopper will be able to transport the injured or sick in a medical emergency or over distances or terrain impractical for a conventional ground ambulance.
Hashemi said that 21 emergency medical ambulances are currently in operation and the ministry is trying to increase the number to 45.
Additionally, two marine emergency boats are operating between Qeshm Island and Bandar-Abbas and two more are slated to be added soon.
Air and marine medical services are top priorities of the ministry and several European countries have made offers to cooperate in this regard. In addition, 30 motorcycles equipped with emergency medical equipment are providing services in the metropolises. The ministry is making efforts to raise the number to 200 motorbikes.
In another move to improve the ambulance fleet, the Health Ministry has purchased 2,000 modern ambulances, the first shipment of which has arrived.
Hashemi pointed to the lack of investment on health and treatment equipment in the past decade and said the incumbent administration "will hopefully make up for the deficit."

Once upon a time in Thailand, new mothers would prepare their own baby food, quite often out of economical necessity as well as lack of availability. Fast-forward to today, and Bangkok in particular is a sophisticated city where every type of food is available in just about every supermarket, including well-known international baby brands.
While there's been a global focus on the nutritional and bonding benefits of breastfeeding, there's less of an emphasis on the feeding stage of infants, when they first start eating solids. Many baby foods contain a lot of sugar, particularly so-called baby juices, and they're also not the most affordable option either which is not welcome during what can be an especially expensive time. An appetizing solution for new moms and dads, who want to give their baby the best start in life, during an absolutely critical developmental stage, is to prepare their own homemade baby foods.
While jars of baby food may be super convenient, the danger is that they could be introducing too many sugar-rich foods to little ones too early; setting up a food trigger that could lead to problems later in life. Added to this is that during manufacturing a heating process can be used to produce the food, meaning valuable vitamins and minerals are lost.
Pureed foods, such as ready-to-eat pouches, don't let youngsters get to grips with chewing food properly and also learning valuable early-development skills such as feeding themselves. Obviously, foods with some bite may come later, but extended use of softer foods for too long can adversely affect the health of the teeth as infants start to develop and teethe.
A great gadget is a Munchkin Baby Food Feeder which is a soft silicone pouch for babies to feed on which allows soft foods to be released through a small hole in digestible amounts, enabling easier feeding of mashed-up fruits and vegetables.
Everybody eats food with their eyes first, and serving up even the youngest of children with snacks and foods that copy the concept of adult junk food creates a visual concept. These types of foods aren't treats. Instead, this approach could form signals that trigger an unhealthy habit to eating and a lack of connection with nutritious whole foods.
After around six-seven-months-old, an infant is ready to be slowly introduced to solids, during one meal of the day, as well as continuing with a diet of breast milk. Bumrungrad's Nutrition Support Team suggest starting with a few tablespoons of pureed rice with half a cooked egg yolk or a tablespoon of cooked meat with half the quantity again of mashed vegetables. Extra salt or sugar is not needed, even for babies in Thailand subject to higher temperatures because of the climate. A health add-in however is half a teaspoon of rice bran oil or a healthy oil to give homemade baby food an energy boost.
There's no need to create complex recipes and certain foods can be batch-cooked and frozen in ice-cube trays, or prepared ahead and left in the fridge, at least until the next day. In fact, the blander and more natural the food the better. Introducing fruit is part of the milk-to-solids journey of nutritional development too. Baby's first bites of fruit should be just one or two pieces, with mashed bananas or papaya perfect as neither is too rich in sugar.
As well as not adding salt and sugar to meals, here's some other no-nos when it comes to preparing healthy baby food:
With a specialist maternity ward and pre-natal and post-natal care, plus the practical assistance of the Nutrition Support Team, Bumrungrad Hospital helps parents provide the right nutrition to their newborn babies and as they grow and develop.
People with diabetes are at an increased risk during the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore should pay extra attention to their blood sugar levels. Here are a few tips from our nutritionist on what foods diabetics should eat and what foods they should avoid
There are food fads and in-trend diets, and then there are food revolutions that change the way people think about nutrition and what they eat. In 2019
Making good food choices takes on special significance for people living with diabetes. Thai food can be an excellent choice if you know which foods are healthy, which ingredients and spices have properties that help control blood sugar, and which dishes are best avoided.

The GYC Iceland missionary experience has helped me grow spiritually and improved my prayer life tremendously. When I began, I had anxieties about meeting new people in a new country. I didn't have this problem back home and at other GYC outreach programs in Baltimore, Louisville, and Seattle. But this time things were different. I felt scared of rejection, lost and nervous every time I had to go door-knocking. One day I was blessed to be partnered with a sweet and friendly girl from Philadelphia named Esther Kim. This was a powerful experience for me. Esther taught me to pray more diligently every time we gave out a GLOW tract to a person on the street. We had special prayers before and after knocking on a door. We prayed after we completed a small area and before going to another one. I saw her fearlessly and boldly reaching out to everyone she saw on the street eagerly sharing Jesus with everyone. She did it with urgency in her actions as if this person might not be saved if she didn't. By looking and learning from her I realized that I acted like a scaredy-cat, putting my strength not in the power of God, but in my own. Jesus was rejected repeatedly by many, but He was never too tired to reach out to every soul. He died on the cross so we could live in spite of our sins. It was an amazing experience, we prayed with many people, we had a lot of them taking the tracts, and we had people asking questions.
The following day I was dropped off in an area on my own. It was quite a big area. I reached a place that seemed like a daycare center or school, but something stopped me. I asked myself whether I should even try to go in. I overcame myself and I went in. To my surprise, a lovely lady took about 100 tracts and said she would share them with others. Later that same day, I went to three more schools or daycare centers where the staff agreed to take the tracts. I gave out about 1000 tracts that day, but most importantly I overcame my fears and let God use me in a mighty way.
Throughout this GYC experience, I have grown through prayer and supplication to become closer to God. I was reunited with like-minded people who share the same mission and I learned from each and every person. I have become bold and ready to continue serving God wherever I am. I'm ready to go to the end until Jesus comes. I praise the Lord for this trip and for those who put it together. I can't wait to go on another one to see what God can do.

New Mind Woman the news is 'you cannot fail'. It also tells you that sparkle and magic is your pizzazz.
With that glint and twinkle we can all see the dance in every blink that sparkles, the magic of every fantasy and the get up and go of your pizzazz.
You are manifesting every second of every day. Take a look around, and you will see you make things happen.
It is the allure and attraction of knowing you are magnetising these things to you through your charm and manifesting them through your pizzazz.
Now you know for sure you cannot fail. Knowing you are the creator of your own world is the same as taking the reigns and manifesting what you want to deliberately.
Think about it for a moment, what are you going to manifest now you know is your force-field and your ability of making things appear is the greatest gift you have in reshaping yourself.
You cannot fantasize the ordinary, everyday things and expect outstanding results. Put the sparkle and magic into your pizzazz, and then write a new life story, one that is beyond your imagination. It must be out of this world and out of the ordinary.
Before the !Kung Bushmen Women entrusted us with the Ancient Desert Secrets of the Feminine Mystery Power we found it strange to be around and absorb their Love, Light and Laughter. It seemed a mysterious radiance and power that had charisma, appeal and awe. To us it was the way of a transformed, united and harmonious Woman.
When we did realize this sparkle and magic was in their make-up. It was a natural part of their being and it was their 'knowing' that they cannot fail.
This had been in them for thousands of years, then it dawned on us that this is their power and pizzazz and it is actually asleep in the Western Woman's psyche and needs waking up.
Imagine with these foundation gifts that the Bushmen Women have, what they would write in a story. How out of the box it would be?
Your must also be out of this world if you want to transform your world and life. Start from a foundation beyond your imagination and full of sparkle and magic. This is your true pizzazz and it turns fantasy into reality.
You are your creation. You are Your Pizzazz. They are your unique gifts.

Helen May Veterinary Acupuncture and Wellness
My dog Aspen is 13 yrs old. We have been noticing his slow loss of mobility in his rear legs for over a year now. He is super healthy other than this. I had heard about a holistic approach to helping dogs just like Aspen, and I decided to give it a try.
Vet Acu Wellness in Jax Beach was recommended to me. We have only been to 2 appts so far but we love it there! Aspen has received Acupuncture, Healing herbs, exercises and lots of treats!! He loves it there and we are extremely excited to start our water therapy(treadmill) on our next visit in 2 weeks.
We can't wait to see Dr Jessie Burgess, Sky, Erin, and Jennie again very very soon.
It makes me feel so good to know that I don't have to put Aspen on alot of heavy pain medicine or drugs to manage his aging and mobility issues!! Its not necessary and its so good to have a healthy, holistic way to go.
Thank you again Vet Acu Wellness for providing alternative treatments for Aspen and for doing so with a smile!!!😀↓

Early in the morning, got a face like this made me feel really good :
Can't remember where am I exactly, I walked around in the yard so that I could have some fresh air.
If you ask me why the sky is so bluey, didn't you use some retouch software? Then you'll be eating this : a clear atmosphere intensifies the blue of the sky !!
Ridiculously delicious lunch.
And some juicy papaya.
Then Diyath gave me a ride in Colombo, who could have known that it took the whole day.
Are you thirsty, cow boy ?
I'm glad I got my camera. It's hot out there, 34°C, but we were fine in the car.
Diyath taught me how to buy 1000 rupee' gasoline. The station is ran by a man and his son.
We had to pick up a friend, Irish, who works as a cameraman in the country's biggest sports television channel.
Then I found this, a BMW 730 with a VIP red number plate.
Sri Lankan beauties.
In Sri Lanka, every student have to wear the uniform, even in college. I found it a little bit funny when I saw
these grown up men in their cute little blue ones.
You can see a lot of temples like this in Colombo.
Diyath told me this is the president's house.
We went to pick up a cousin sister who wanted to change some money. I changed all my euros to Sri Lankan
rupees : 90€ = 15030 LKR. The number seems pretty exciting though.
The others were hungry, we went to a Domino's. The Sri Lankan people are really the happiest ones, they just
don't stop laughing.
The Sri Lankan Domino's menu.
Dig in then.
When we stepped out of the Domino's, it's already night out there. We were heading home, so was the cow.
Those two little things in the plate is called "Modam pooja", a Tamil festival food, the left one is sweet, the
other one is salty. They are both amazingly delicious. Tamil gods are really lucky.
And yes, it's a bottle of wine, and it's for later that night. So children please go to bed, because the really scary
night story was about to happen…
P.S. About the wine : Rockland Old Arrack, 100% coconut wine, 34°, and only from Sri Lanka. Saudi ye puremu !!

e.tv dumps local telenovela Broken Vows, moves Days of Our Lives to new 6pm timeslot from Monday 15 January.
e.tv is dumping Broken Vows with the local telenovela that is being moved off of its prime time schedule from this coming Monday and to its eExtra satellite channel, with the weekday soap Days of Our Lives that is being moved half an hour later to 18:00.
e.tv's patience is up with Broken Vows, produced by Clive Morris Productions, that's struggled in the ratings since it launched in April 2017 in the plum 20:00 timeslot and that was moved to 18:30 just 4 months ago amidst faltering viewership.
Now e.tv programming bosses want to start 2018 with a clean slate not featuring the local telenovela as soon as possible with e.tv's early prime time programming that is pegged to its new schedule to start at the top of the hour.
It means that e.tv viewers won't see the conclusion of Broken Vows in prime time with the show that is being shipped off to the eExtra channel (DStv 195 / OpenView HD 105) from Monday 15 January at 18:00.
e.tv will however broadcast an omnibus of the week's Broken Vows episodes on Saturday mornings at 11:20 and says the channel is still accomodating its viewers without satellite TV in this way, to be able to see Broken Vows.
Broken Vows didn't do well in the viewership but it also didn't get a lot of press exposure during the past 9 months.
e.tv publicity did Broken Vows no favours, signaling to the media that the show is apparently not that important when it neither bothered to tell a large part of the press covering television beforehand about the show's launch event in April 2017, nor invited media to it, and didn't issue any transcripts or press materials about the launch afterwards.
TV critics took their cue from this that e.tv isn't interested in exposure for Broken Vows.
As part of the schedule changes coming on Monday e.tv is also moving its American weekday soap Days of Our Lives half an hour later to 18:00 from Monday 15 January, with talker The Steve Harvey Show moved half an hour later from 16:30 to 17:00.
The channel is also adding Judge Judy to its schedule from Monday in the 16:30 timeslot.
e.tv's successful local soaps Rhythm City and Scandal! are kept in their 19:00 and 19:30 timeslots, followed by eNews with Sally Burdett at 20:00, and the local drama series Easy Money on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:30.
e.tv continues to court viewers with premium American dramas with Shades of Blue with Jennifer Lopez starting on Monday at 20:30, followed by the debut of the 3rd season of Chicago PD on Tuesday 16 January at 20:30 and with The Blacklist returning for a second season on Wednesday 17 January at 20:30.
The crime drama Power will start on Wednesday 17 January at 20:30 with Omari Hardwick as James St.Patrick, the owner of a New York nightclub who is also involved in drug smuggling and trying to balance his two different lives.
About the latest e.tv schedule change the channel's Marlon Davids, managing director of e.tv says "over the last 20 years e.tv's constant innovation has made the channel a firm favourite in the free-to-air television landscape".
"Our new programming line-up demonstrates our commitment to meeting the needs of our audiences. They can look forward to more of the highest quality local programming, alongside world-renowned international content this year."
Asked by TVwithThinus why e.tv is moving Broken Vows off of the e.tv prime time schedule not letting it run its course and making it impossible for free-to-air viewers to see its conclusion in prime time where they started watching it, e.tv says that its channels business "is invested in its multichannel offering as a whole and hopes to draw Broken Vows audiences to the growing needs of the eExtra channel for dedicated local content".
e.tv says "the revamp is aligned to a bigger business strategy as we see upward momentum of the OpenView HD platform."

The words we choose can express the joy in our hearts as we welcome a new addition to our family and circle of friends through a naming or adoption ceremony.

The words we choose can tell everyone that we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat through a renewal of vows ceremony. And the words we choose when it's time to say goodbye at the funeral or memorial service for a loved-one should amount to much more than just rattling off a list of facts. Whether mourning a loss or celebrating a life, it's the words that we choose that will resonate, bringing comfort and maybe some joy.

David Garland has written a major commentary on Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. His detailed study of one of the most important epistles in the New Testament is sure to become a standard resource for pastors, students, and scholars.
After an introductory chapter that considers the context of the epistle and what is known about the social setting and cultural world of Corinth, Garland turns to his exegetical study. In order to maintain the overall flow of Paul's thought and show the larger themes more clearly, the verse-by-verse comments are organized in larger exegetical units. For each unit, the author provides a summary that locates it within the broader context of the surrounding material, and he provides his own translation of the Greek text.
The author's wealth of knowledge and exhaustive research is evident in his exposition. To clarify the meaning of the text, he incorporates references from parallel material in the Pauline corpus and from extrabiblical sources that highlight relevant aspects of the religious, cultural, and social context. Throughout his study, Garland interacts with notable previous commentators and provides extensive notes for the reader's consideration and further research. Relevant text-critical issues are discussed in a section labeled "Additional Notes." There biblical scholars will find comments on the more technical aspects of the text, including variant readings and grammatical issues.
About the series: The Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament (BECNT) series provides commentaries that blend scholarly depth with readability, exegetical detail with sensitivity to the whole, and attention to critical problems with theological awareness. All BECNT volumes feature the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text and are specifically designed with students and pastors in mind. The user-friendly design includes shaded-text chapter introductions summarizing the key themes of each thought unit. Chapter outlines and overviews allow easy entry into the discussion and aid comprehension and recall. With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, these commentaries will be valued by students, professors, and pastors alike.

I just finished my stay at Fairmont Vancouver Airport at the beginning of a 3 week vacation.
First impressions were good, when I was met in the airport and was asked my name and given my room key without even needing to go to the registration desk.
I was given directions on getting to the lobby of the hotel and then to my room. It was at the end of the hallway on the 7th floor.
The views of the aprons of the airport are very good, even though just the smaller US bound jets. Others have said that they didn't hear the planes in their room. It must be on room location as I clearly was able to hear them from the last flight to the first of the morning. Get the other side of the hotel if sound will affect your sleep.
To the facilities of the room. Like other reviewers I found the room very dated and in need of renovations. For the nightly price and room service rates, they should be able to afford renovations.
There are several things I will mention, just because I notice everything.
To start with, the buttons on the air conditioning controls are almost worn off so it was hard to tell if I was adjusting up or down. The closet door won't stay closed as looks like the track that keeps it closed is worn out. On the smaller size, older lcd tv, none of the functions worked except channel up and down. Most buttons said unavailable when pushed. The desk phone is an old cordless phone with the antenna on the base removed or broken off. Looks like a 15 year old cordless. The bed phone had several buttons that didn't work, including for wake up calls. So I just pressed zero to ask for one.
Lastly the bed. Others have mentioned the comfort, I found it a little hard for my liking and was up a couple times in the night.
I try to be balanced in my reviews, and in this one it seems that I am just complaining. I don't mean to, I was just looking forward to a wow factor and I didn't get one.
On the plus side, the service was great. When I did reach person for wake up I was greeted by name, and the meeting with my room key was also a nice touch.
Problem is the noise, the outdated and partially worn out or broken room features makes it a place I will likely not stay again unfortunately.
Can't beat the convenience of the location however, right in the terminal.

ABC's Uncle Buck adaptation was only announced a few days ago, and it's already in danger of getting scrapped. The families of the late John Hughes, who directed the original 1989 film, and late star John Candy, who played the titular character, have both expressed disapproval with the television adaptation in a statement released to Deadline.
"Disappointment has been expressed by both the John Hughes and John Candy families over the conduct and decision by the ABC Network and Universal Television to develop a comedy series based on the feature film Uncle Buck. Rather than either entity proving advance information to the Estates, the families learned of the project's potential via the media."
Fall TV popularity contest: Which new shows won you over?
"The Families feel a strong attachment to the original film which symbolized the great and unique collaboration between Hughes and Candy. Recalling that the director was displeased with first Uncle Buck TV show effort which failed on CBS in 1990, it is well expected that he would not be supportive of this current attempt."
It's now up to ABC and Universal Television to decide whether or not to continue with the development of the series.
The situation is eerily similar to the recently proposed Say Anything redo at NBC. The director of that film, Cameron Crowe, and star, John Cusack, found out about the remake from the media and quickly objected to the adaptation. NBC killed the project less than a day later.

I was withdrawing deeper into myself, isolating myself from my surroundings, settling into the routines—the inflexible routines—I have before each match and that continue right up to the start of play.
This is from Rafael Nadal's sometimes surprisingly candid book, Rafa, written with John Carlin. Listen for that light, self-effacing Majorcan accent, our Mediterranean catch of the day, emphasis mine:
I repeat the sequence, every time, before a match begins, and at every break between games, until a match is over. A sip from one bottle, and then from another. And then I put the two bottles down at my feet, in front of my chair to my left, one neatly behind the other, diagonally aimed at the court. Some call it superstition, but it's not. If it were superstition, why would I keep doing the same thing over and over whether I win or lose? It's a way of placing myself in a match, ordering my surroundings to match the order I seek in my head.
Were you moved by our colleague Robin LaFevers' recent Writer Unboxed piece? Her 3-D piece. On Discipline, Dedication, and Devotion.
I was moved. Because she used the Oxford comma in her headline. I may ask for her hand in marriage.
I was also moved, you'll be relieved to know, for two other reasons:
- LaFevers named some of the more elusive, soul-centered elements of our work. They have to do with willpower.
- She did it without getting maudlin. Not a single verse of Kumbaya.
[pullquote]It's about giving free rein to your obsessive and personal tics and possibly unsavory interests. —Robin LaFevers, On Discipline, Dedication, and Devotion[/pullquote]
Earlier this month in New York, it was borderline unsavory when some of the commentators at the US Open chuckled at how Nadal refuses to step on a line on the court between points. He always steps over the lines, not on them. Chuckle all you want. He has some $60 million in prize money. Makes you want to step right over some lines, no?
Watch Nadal play for 20 minutes and you'll be familiar with that trademark series of fast moves he makes at the baseline before each point. Personal tics on parade. He plucks the left shoulder of his shirt. Then the right shoulder. His shorts get a tug. The sweat is wiped off his nose. His hair is pushed back over his left ear. His nose gets another swipe. His hair is pushed back over his right ear. Only after all this will he play a point. Every time. Same moves. In the same order.
Greg Garber at ESPN has written that Nadal looks like a baseball manager sending signals. I think it looks more like he's genuflecting. Those moves are prayer.
What's going on out there on the tennis court is a lot like what LaFevers is saying might need to happen at our desks. [Read more…]

After some Twitter shoutouts and a Holiday episode (6) reference, Eric, who will be there, talks about the show that he has been attending for quite some time as a NAMM member, this is his first year participating as an exhibitor with the company. Justin takes over the host microphone on this show and talks in depth with Eric about NAMM, what the company will be doing at the show, some of the people that will be joining them there along with some of his past experiences. Paul, a knowledge leader in the audio visual industry adds to the discussion, and he, along with Eric and the Crew talk equipment, technology and more.
After the Tier PM 'Hot Jobs' segment, Justin talks about Audinate who will be providing Dante audio networking training at the show – here is full information. The Crew and guests continue to talk about Dante, along with more about retailers, music and gear.

Apache was never the problem!
So it turns out that apache wasn't just spontaneously stopping. The whole server was! Apache was just not set to "auto-start" at boot-up.
The ISP I co-locate with was experiencing some power difficulties in addition to one of the modules of this servers dual power-supply is bad.
Apache is now set to auto-start and it shouldn't take me too long to get a new power-supply module ordered.
*Mental Note* next time, pay attention to the servers uptime. ;-)

About the website
GOV.SI is still under development and presently contains only basic information about the functioning of the state administration. Further content from the ministries, bodies within the ministries, government offices and administrative units will be transferred gradually to the GOV.SI central website of the state administration. Searches for the content that has not yet been transferred to GOV.SI are redirected to the old websites of the state administration bodies.
Type of information
The information on the GOV.SI is published in the Slovenian language. The content of the administrative units that operate on bilingual territories of the Republic of Slovenia is also provided in the Italian and Hungarian languages respectively. GOV.SI also provides the essential information in English.
GOV.SI is organised into three content groups:
- presentation information about individual state administration bodies and their responsibilities and structure;
- topical areas (e.g. culture, agriculture, forestry and food, and foreign affairs) that lead the user to detailed and complete information about each area. This way of displaying content facilitates searching for the required information by the user, as it is not necessary to know which authority is responsible for it.
- databases (e.g. of public notices, job vacancies and projects) that provide a single place for all announcements to be made by national authorities and ensure greater transparency and availability of information.
Website administrators
GOV.SI is the central website of the state administration bodies, meaning that the contents are provided by all the ministries, bodies within the ministries, government offices and administrative units. Each body is responsible for its published information being accurate, timely and correct. At the bottom of each webpage there is a notice saying which authority is responsible for the published information. All authorities publish their content in compliance with uniform standards maintained by the central editorial team, which operates within the Government Communication Office.
GOV.SI is the result of the project entitled Renewal and Optimisation of the State Administration Websites
GOV.SI is the result of the project entitled Renewal and Optimisation of the State Administration Websites, which is managed by the Ministry of Public Administration in cooperation with the Government Communication Office. The project is financed from EU funds and the state budget. The project is due to be completed in November 2021 with the transfer to GOV.SI of all the presentation websites of the state administration bodies.
Accessibility statement
State administration bodies are committed to making their GOV.SI central website of the state administration accessible in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act.
This accessibility statement applies to GOV.SI.
Compliance status
GOV.SI is fully compliant with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
- This statement was prepared on 1 July 2019, based on self-assessment.
- It was last reviewed on 1 July 2019.
Feedback and contact information
You can report any failure of the website to comply with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act to the GOV.SI content coordinator, who will refer the complaint to the competent state administration body for resolution.
Enforcement procedure
In the event of an unsatisfactory response to any notification or request sent in accordance with Article 8 of the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act, you may file a report with information society inspectors.

We'll Die Smiling
Much like many Holy Roar luminaries We'll Die Smiling are difficult to categorise. Heavy blast disorientating artistic chaotic riff melodies. Far too brutal for BSM and too arty/indie weird for Thirty Days Of Night. This makes perfect sense if you are a fan of Maths, run,WALK!, Rolo Tomassi, Chariots or Phoenix Bodies. Or pretty much Holy Roar.

Mamma mia, have the past four weeks rushed by fast. So fast in fact that facing this blog post I feel like not even two days have passed between the last one and this blog post and that it feels like I haven't done anything even though I actually have. Quite a lot, to be honest. Besides my normal activities at GWL in terms of research for our National Lifelong Learning Project, being at the reception and helping Wendy with the Story Café, I attended numerous events hosted at and by GWL and let's not forget our nomination and judges' visit for the Museum Of The Year Award. I will try to retrace them in the following.
Since my last blog post, the first event I attended was the introductory session of the First Waves series of workshops. At my university, we would talk about inclusive feminism with a view on focusing on non-white women but none of my professors has had the necessary focused research on the subject. Hence, I felt like I lacked information in this area and happily took the chance to attend. Scarlett Crawford, artist in residence at the UK Parliament,gave a well-prepared and interesting lecture on the Race Relations Acts 1976 as part of jurisdiction and a theoretical approach of the government to immigration, and the actual lived experiences of immigrants. Many women in the audience related to those experiences, some of them positive although also sadly the negative side of immigration and the racism they had experienced. Given my (privileged) upbringing, this event was one of the instances that smacked me in the face with the actual harm caused by unjust immigration policies, a lack of measures taken against face-to-face and institutionalised racism. Scarlett's purpose for the event, however, was not to hold a lecture and then simply disappear. Rather the lecture was used as an introduction to her actual objective, namely the production and compilation of artistic pieces for an exhibition related to the Race Relation Act and its impact on immigrants to the UK. She announced that she would come back for a week of workshops to take photographs of the women, produce an audio file with community languages and much more. The women were highly enthusiastic and so the library became buzzed about Scarlett's return.
Soon after the introductory session for First Waves, it was announced we were shortlisted for the Museum Of The Year award. The nucleus of our staff kept it secret so perfectly, even our volunteers were surprised by it. The announcement party was soon replaced by a collective cleanout party and the excitement and anticipation grew daily. On the 8th of May, the day of the judges' visit, our library was, of course, spick and span and it all went down harmoniously and we are very much looking forward to the announcement of the winner on the 5th of July.
The 8th of May also marked the start for the nationwide Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. GWL was involved in three workshops taking place in Johnstone and Paisley. I helped with research beforehand and had lots of fun doing so (as well as a few eye-opening insights). In Johnstone, Morag held two Story Cafés. One dealt with a positive stance towards the menopause and the other dealt with new beginnings in life. Naturally, this involved searching for suitable literature and reading as much as I could. My focus was on the menopause workshop. I learnt that the menopause is not only just a medically described phase in a woman's life kept private by your mum and ostensibly ranted about by any other woman on the planet. Actually, I learnt that the menopause is a highly individual experience whose perception can range from an absolute nightmare to a highly positive kickstart of a new chapter in life. Honestly, now I keep wondering how anyone could dare write down generalisations about it. Apart from the two workshops in Johnstone, Morag and I also travelled to Paisley where we presented Tips for Girls. Tips for Girls was a fun enterprise as it involved researching dating and fashion tips, obscure medical advice and hilarious advertisements from the 1880s until today. It struck me how some things, especially medical and beauty advice, changed tremendously whereas the dating landscape has mainly been given just a slightly more feminist sounding wording without any substantial change.
My involvement in the Story Café also contained a few highlights this month. We held three Specials. At the first occasion, historic fiction writer Ethyl Smith paid us a visit and read from Dark Times, the second book out of her ongoing series. Listening to her was not only enthralling but also made us become part of her 17th century scenery. The Scottish woodlands have never felt so scary and we would be shaken many times by the many Scottish voices. On the second occasion, our dear Donna Moore presented her PhD thesis on feminist writing in the form of crime fiction.
For this undertaking, Donna is currently writing three novellas which form the body of her research. Through attending Donna's creative writing workshops, I already knew she had a way with words but I was astonished at HOW good she was in her very own work. She is a very talented writer and each of our attendants clang ardently to her voice. Not only has she written captivating fiction, she managed to make hearing about practices and architecture in Scottish asylums enjoyable, and her methods for scientific research are spellbinding. For our second Story Café special, we welcomed our guests Helen Mort, lecturer in Creative Writing with a focus on poetry at the Manchester Writing School , Bern Roche Farrelly, Communications Manager at the Poetry Translation Centre, as well as Georgian poet and translator at the Poetry Translation Centre Salome Benidze. The trio presented Salome's latest publication I Wanted To Ask You, a bilingual poetry collection written by herself. Alternatingly, Salome read the pivotal Georgian version of her poem and then Helen read her English translation of the exact same poem. It was the first time I heard Georgian and I learnt about Georgian culture, the position of women therein and political tensions in the country.
To close off this blog entry, I would like to talk about my latest trip for GWL. Morag kindly let me take her place for a talk and workshop on the Glaswegian designer and Glasgow School of Art teacher Jessie Newbery and the textile industry in Paisley, an event organised by the city council for the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival as part of their regeneration programme. The talk was given by two outstanding ladies in the midst of their PhD, the History Girls, and ended with some handcrafting in groups. Our all-female groups were invited to create a poster for a regenerated Paisley in the style of the Paisley textiles introduced in the talk. For this, we used pieces of paper and fabrics of different colours and patterns, glitter, felt pens and more.
Please have a look at my group's outcome.
Thank you very much for returning to my blog post and taking the time to read it. Let's see what the month of June will hold for me at GWL!
Jeanette is an intern at Glasgow Women's Library and involved in the National Lifelong Learning Project and Story Café, among other projects of GWL. She started in April and will stay until early October. Her internship here is part of her studies of English and Gender Studies at the Saarland University in Germany, where she grew up.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Top seed Simona Halep recovered from a slow start before racing away to a 6-3 6-2 victory over big-serving Czech sixth seed Karolina Pliskova in their Australian Open quarter-final on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Romanian world number one, still seeking a first grand slam title, trailed 3-0 but battened down the hatches to reel off the next nine games on her way to a first Melbourne semi-final.
An increasingly deflated Pliskova eventually stopped the rot but with Halep offering precious little in the way of cheap points, the result soon became a formality.
Halep made only 10 unforced errors in the one hour, 11 minute contest on Rod Laver Arena and sealed victory with a deep return which Pliskova could only slap into the net.
She described the performance as her best of the tournament so far but she might need to go up another level in the semi-final, where she faces the in-form 2016 Melbourne champion Angelique Kerber.
"I think this was a great match. The best this tournament. I started slow but then I got used to the rhythm. I got used to everything. I played very well," she said.
"You never know with her because she has crazy good shots sometimes and also the serve. But I read her serve many times today. I just was very strong on the return."
There was early encouragement for Pliskova as she held an extended opening service game then cracked a forehand winner to earn a break point, which she converted when Halep missed a forehand over the baseline.
When she held for 3-0 there was no hint of what was to come.
Halep, saved a break point in the next game as Pliskova netted a routine forehand, then settled into her usual groove and the errors began to flow from across the net.
Pliskova surrendered the opening set with a double-fault and dropped serve again to trail 2-0 in the second.
Halep, who said she was untroubled by the ankle problem that has bothered her at times here, was never going to lose her grip from there, even if Pliskova did offer some late resistance.
Pliskova was left to rue the chance she had to make it 4-0.
"That was a huge game to go a double-break up," she said after Halep improved her head-to-head record against the Czech to 6-1.
"It would be not for sure, but most probably my set, the first one. I don't think I did something that wrong. Maybe just the big points I play bad against her, then it changes quickly.
"I think all the matches we play are pretty similar. I feel she just likes my game."

'Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood' star Teairra Mari says her ex-boyfriend is responsible for leaking their sex video as revenge for breaking up with him.
She announced during a press conference this morning that she plans to sue her ex, Akbar Abdul-Ahad, for the leak as well as 50 Cent for sharing an image from the tape.
via TMZ:
Teairra — flanked by her attorneys, Lisa Bloom and Walter Mosely — broke down in tears during an emotional news conference Thursday to announce the suit. Teairra said the ugly episode was triggered after she broke up with Akbar Abdul-Ahad after finding out he was cheating on her.
The reality star claims Akbar had her Instagram password and posted a video and an obscene photo of her as payback and to humiliate her. Teairra claims Fiddy, Akbar's close friend, then reposted an image to his 18 million followers before it was taken down.
Lisa said they'll file a police report later Thursday along with the suit. She added, "We have a significant piece of evidence that points to [Akbar]." AAA denies he was behind the act.
Should be noted … questions as to whether Teairra was allegedly behind taking a metal rod to Akbar's G-Wagon were not raised.
One thing's for sure, if there's a celebrity sex scandal you can count on Lisa Bloom to be near. Check out video from Teairra's press conference below.
