The global ambulatory services market size was valued at USD 2.72 trillion in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period. Increasing preference for outpatient care, as it is cost-effective and does not require hospital stay, is likely to be the key factor driving the market. Government initiatives and the availability of funding for ambulatory healthcare facilities are also anticipated to impel market growth in the coming years.
Reduced hospital stays and lowered healthcare expenditure due to high preference for minimally invasive surgeries and technological advancements will drive the market further. For instance, the development of laparoscopy and endoscopy has reduced the need for longer hospital stays. In December 2016, Methodist Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) was opened in U.S. It is an outpatient-based imaging center that delivers high-quality and cost-effective medical imaging to patients.
Governments are investing more in primary healthcare facilities to provide accessible medical care. In February 2016, reforms introduced by NHS, which involved the provision of increased funding to general physicians to ease the pressure on accident and emergency departments, boosted the prospects of Primary Healthcare Properties (PHP). Various business strategies undertaken by prominent companies are also projected to augment the market development over the coming years.
These strategies include geographic expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and product launches. In January 2015, the Government of India announced its plan to increase healthcare spending to at least 2.5% of the GDP, thereby offering free primary care through public facilities. Through this initiative, the government is planning to increase the offerings of primary care services for reproductive diseases and communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Based on the type, the ambulatory services market is segmented into primary care offices, emergency departments, surgical specialty, and medical specialty. Surgical specialty is sub-segmented into orthopedics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, plastic surgery, pain management, and others. Primary care offices led the market in 2018 due to improved quality of care and the implementation of new technologies, such as computerized prescribing systems and Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Implementation of EHR in rural areas and drug procurement have improved primary and follow-up care, thus reducing manual errors. Collaborations among major government and private organizations to provide low-cost access to various treatments are expected to boost the ambulatory services segment.
For instance, in March 2015, Tenet Healthcare Corporation and United Surgical Partners International entered into a joint venture for ownership interests in 244 Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), 20 imaging centers, and 16 short-stay surgical hospitals in U.S. Surgical specialty is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to easy reimbursement policies, demand for minimally invasive procedures, and rising M&A activities among key companies. In December 2016, Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc. (SCA) collaborated with Midwest Center for Day Surgery. This partnership helped expand SCA's position as a provider of low-cost and high-quality surgeries in Chicago.
North America led the global market in 2018 and accounted for approximately 44.0% market share. This can be attributed to quick adoption of technologically advanced products. Government initiatives and M&A activities are projected to drive the regional market further. For example, in January 2017, Envision Healthcare acquired Sunshine Radiology, LLC. This increased the company's capacity to provide services to 80 healthcare ambulatory facilities and more than 55 hospitals in Florida.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. Increasing healthcare expenditure owing to rising prevalence of chronic diseases and cases of hospital readmissions has encouraged the expansion of outpatient centers, which is expected to drive the region's growth. In January 2015, Sanofi acquired 20% stake of Apollo Sugar Clinics (diabetes care clinic) in India for USD 15.0 million. The government of China encourages the use of mobile apps to decrease long waiting lines at outpatient centers as apps provide online appointment and payment systems.
Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico are the major economies in the Latin America market. Healthcare providers in this region are expanding their services by collaborating with international firms to increase their market share. In August 2014, the Regenerative Medicine Institute started ambulatory services for patients that do not require hospital stay, thus increasing the number of options for treatment settings.
Key market contributors are AmSurg Corp.; IntegraMed America, Inc.; Terveystalo; Aspen Healthcare; and Medical Facilities Corporation. These companies have undertaken several business expansion strategies to maintain their industry position. In January 2017, merged companies Envision Healthcare and AmSurg Corp. acquired Emergency Professional Services, PC. The group has 20 advanced healthcare practitioners and 50 emergency medicine physicians. This acquisition includes two anesthesia groups, one emergency medical group, one radiology, and one neonatal group.
In the recent past, Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital, a subsidiary of Medical Facilities Corporation, acquired Prairie States Surgical Center, LLC. The transaction was worth USD 19.95 million that will be paid over a span of 5 years. This acquisition was anticipated to boost the company's growth in the field of orthopedic surgeries by enabling it to provide the best quality of surgical and patient recovery care.

January is School Board Recognition Month and the Cherry Creek School District is proud to acknowledge the dedicated service and invaluable contributions made by the members of the Cherry Creek Schools Board of Education: David Willman, Karen Fisher, Janice McDonald, Eric Parish and Kelly Bates.
The board members are unpaid volunteers who spend countless hours studying complex issues such as student achievement, equity and school finance. They spend 12 months a year working with lawmakers and educational experts, meeting with district administrators, teachers, staff members, parents and students and attending school and district events. They are responsible for the academic success of 54,700 students, as well as the efficient management of a district with 7,500 full and part-time employees and an annual general fund budget of just over $400 million.
"We are so fortunate in the Cherry Creek School District to have board members who lead by example, with integrity and careful consideration of what is in the best interest of students," said Dr. Harry Bull, superintendent of Cherry Creek Schools. "Their service ensures that decisions about our schools are made by people who are most familiar with the needs of our students and the expectations of our parents and community."
Each board member represents one of the district's five director districts, but they are elected 'at-large' to four-year terms by registered voters via a non-partisan ballot.
Board of Education meetings are generally held at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of the month at one of the Cherry Creek schools. Contact information for the Board of Education is 720-554-4300 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Child labour on the rise in Jordan
At the end of a ten-hour shift, 14-year-old school dropout Sami approaches his employer's desk to receive his daily $2.
Sami started working at a car repair shop two years ago after the sudden death of his father. He scrubbed oil and grease off the floor and helped the more experienced workers. Currently, Sami works as a car mechanic, having learnt the "secrets of the profession".
"Alone, I can figure out what is wrong with any car and fix it," he proudly said.
When asked if he plans to return to school to pursue education, he replied: "Academic certificates are worthless. I have to support my family and I have a very promising profession here."
Across the street, Ahmed, 10, wipes the sweat off his forehead as he whizzed from an Amman coffee parlour to deliver spiced Arabic coffee to cars on the road.
"It is not much but it helps my family," the shy boy said, referring to his daily wage of $1.50.
"All I have to do is stand near the pavement and wave at cars to stop for a cup of Arabic coffee," Ahmed said.
"It's an easy job."
While Jordan prepares to mark the World Day Against Child Labour on June 12th, this year's theme is "'No to Child Labour — YES to Quality Education!", Sami and Ahmed remain certain they have made the right decision by leaving school and finding jobs.
The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates their right to live a decent life with all basic needs provided to them. It also calls for other rights, which include the right to education, play, leisure, cultural activities, access to information and freedom of thought as well as protection rights to ensure that children are safeguarded against abuse, neglect and exploitation, with special care for refugee children.
Jordanian law forbids children under the age of 16 from working, said Amman lawyer Saed Hiasat.
"Article 73 of the Labour Law No. 08 is clear regarding the employment of children under 16 years of age but still people do that in certain areas and certain fields," Hiasat said in an interview with The Arab Weekly.
Jordan's policy regarding child labour is called the National Framework to Combat Child Labour (NFCL), he said.
"Statistics show that child labourers make up 48.8% of the total workforce in the services sector, 40.5% in the agricultural sector and 8% in the manufacturing field," he added.
The Jordanian Ministry of Labour attributes child labour to the desire of business owners to pay low wages in inappropriate conditions with no social benefits or health insurance.
Social worker Muna Batarseh, from Madaba in central Jordan, said the problem of child labour exists in many parts of the world.
"It is not only Jordan," Batarseh said. "There are many children in various countries worldwide who are forced to go to work every day to help shore up family finances or to satisfy family greed."
In Jordan, she added, "I tried to help many children by putting them back to school and giving them state allowances but later I discovered that they returned to work."
The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said more than 150 million children worldwide are engaged in child labour. In sub-Saharan Africa 25% of children aged 5 to 14 years are working. In South Asia the figure is 12% and it's 5% in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
In the Middle East and North Africa, 9% of children work, with 11% males and 7% females. In Jordan it is at 2%, Egypt 9%, Bahrain 5% while Jordan and Lebanon are at 2%, according to UNICEF statistics for 2014.
Batarseh said the bulk of the child labourers come from families "without a father and this puts a lot of pressure on mothers. The last resort is to let their children find a job or sell hand-made products."
She said there was an increase in child labour in Jordan, although she did not have numbers, and blamed that on the presence of the cheaper labour of Syrian refugees.
"This really contributed much to the number of children working in various jobs as they have no other alternative, except to work to feed their families," she said.
Amman housewife Lina Mousa said: "We see many kids selling gum, begging or trying to clean the car at traffic lights and we always wonder why things end up like that for them."
"I have children and it only breaks my heart to see little kids working to support their families. So we try to help as much as we can as our government cannot help everyone," she added.
Yousef Qandah, a researcher and economist, described child labour as a plague.
"The children think that by working in any profession at an early age, they can build a career to open their own shop in the future. That is why they stick to working more than thinking of going to school," he said.
But the danger is higher in certain professions, according to Qandah.
"We remember well 14-year-old Khaled who was killed while working in a blacksmith shop in the eastern desert city of Russeifa last year… when his scarf was caught in one of the machines and was strangled to death," he said.
About 39% of children labourers in Jordan work in auto workshops followed by 25% in trade and 13.5% in waste recycling, said Qandah, referring to local research.
"It is really alarming that we're that much depending on child labourers," he added.

The Limits of TabControl
Tab-Style Tool Strip
Outlook-Style Tool Strip
Collapsible Menus
Flyout Panel
Microsoft Windows Forms 2.0 allows you to organize the functionality of your application in unique ways that are easy for your customers to use. Using new controls, such as ToolStrip, FlowLayoutPanel, and TableLayoutPanel, you can create smart and extensible application layouts. This article describes four application layouts: a tab-style tool strip, an Outlook-style tool strip, collapsible menus, and a flyout panel. All of these layouts are simple to create with Windows Forms 2.0. This article assumes you know the basics of Windows Forms and are familiar with UserControls.
The Limits of TabControl
Recently, I wanted to build a simple application that served as a countdown timer for various activities, such as exercising or meditating. The core functionality would be a timer that would play a sound repeatedly after the set time (say, 30 minutes) had expired. I knew that this simple application would have three major sections: A Home panel that displays at start up, a Countdown panel on which you set and run the countdown clock, and a Settings panel on which you set a custom sound and check whether you want to keep a record of your sessions.
I decided that the best way to go about this was a tab-based approach to navigation. I defined the major areas of functionality on three different tabs. At first, the TabControl, which you get for free with Windows Forms, seemed like a natural choice. But then came the catch. I didn't want this application to look like a normal Windows application, with the default gray color schemes. And I didn't want to use top-aligned tabs, which are the default. I wanted the tabs to stretch down the right side of the TabControl. I wanted everything to be white, without distracting borders, and I wanted the three tabs to stretch from the top to the bottom of the application.
I soon discovered that the TabControl wouldn't do what I wanted. While TabControl supported right-aligning and left-aligning tabs, by default it would render the text vertically instead of horizontally. I found that if Visual Styles were enabled, no text was rendered in the side-aligned tabs at all!
I found a way to get close to the effect that I wanted by using owner-draw. (For details, see my Window Forms TabControl: Using Right-Aligned or Left-Aligned Tabs post on the Windows Forms Documentation Updates blog.) However, there were other obstacles that prevented me from using TabControl. In particular, owner-draw could only redraw the contents of the tabs. I could not customize or eliminate altogether the tab borders, either on the tabs or surrounding the tab panels. This limited the customization I could accomplish. To top it all off, the controls on the tabs themselves are sometimes not laid out correctly when you apply Visual Styles. Given all these problems and the lack of customizability, I was no longer jazzed about using TabControl.
Tab-Style Tool Strip
I took a step back and realized that there was another, more inventive way to approach this problem. I remembered from my past tinkering that the new ToolStrip control in Windows Forms was very flexible. Could I use it to create exactly the look and feel I was aiming for?
As it turned out, I could—and with only a minimum of programming. Figure 1 shows the finished result.
Figure 1. The completed application, which uses a tab-style tool strip.
Here's how I created the application. The main form is split into two parts. On the left side is a custom UserControl I wrote called Slideshow (included with the Countdown sample). This is just a "showy" control that uses the managed WebBrowser wrapper control to fade between a series of images using Dynamic HTML.
What's interesting for this article is the right side, on which I positioned a SplitContainer control. SplitContainer is also a new control in Windows Forms. It replaces the old Splitter control, providing greater functionality for the number and directionality of split panels. SplitContainer has two split panels, Panel1 and Panel2. Panel1 is the content panel that will contain various controls for each button. Panel2 will include buttons that will allow navigation between the three panels: Home, Countdown, and Settings. Panel2 will host the ToolStrip control. For my application, I kept the Orientation property on SplitContainer set to Vertical (the default), and resized the panels in Microsoft Visual Studio to make the left one larger than the right one. Figure 2 shows the Countdown application prior to adding the ToolStrip control to Panel2.
Figure 2. The Countdown application with a custom Slideshow UserControl and a SplitContainer.
After adding the custom Slideshow UserControl and SplitContainer, I added a ToolStrip control to Panel2. By default, the Dock property of ToolStrip is set to Top. This makes sense; the default for most applications is to use ToolStrip to create command toolbars, like you find in Microsoft Word and other applications. But for my purposes, I needed to set the Dock property to Fill. I also didn't want the slick Office-like rendering that ToolStrip uses by default, so I set RenderMode to System and BackColor to White. I set GripStyle to Hidden, so that the grip used to grab the ToolStrip and relocate it to another area of the screen wasn't visible. Finally, since I wanted the navigation buttons to flow from top to bottom, one on top of the other, I changed the value of LayoutStyle to VerticalStackWithOverflow.
Next came the actual navigation buttons. Since I would have three panels, I created three buttons. I used the Items Collection Editor in the visual designer to create three ToolStripButton objects in the ToolStrip. To open the Items Collection Editor, I clicked the ellipsis button next to the Items property for the ToolStrip. (To open the Items Collection Editor, I could have also clicked the ToolStrip's smart tag and in the ToolStrip Tasks menu, clicked Edit Items.)
Next, I needed to stylize the buttons' look and feel. I created an image for each button with stock photography, and resized the images to the same height and width. I clicked the ellipsis button next to the Image property for each ToolStripButton and used the Select Resource dialog box to import the image for each button. By default, ToolStripButton will scale the image down to the default size of the button. Since I wanted the image at its actual size, I set the ImageScaling property on each button to None.
I entered the appropriate text in the Text property of each ToolStripButton. In order to get the text to appear below the image, I had to change two properties. First, I had to set the DisplayStyle property to ImageAndText. This made the text appear to the center right of the image. To put the text underneath the image, I set the TextImageRelation property to ImageAboveText. I then changed the font of ToolStripButton so that the text rendered to my liking.
For my last magic trick, I decided that I wanted the buttons to appear "checked" when they were clicked, so that the user had a quick visual indicator as to which panel was currently active. (The checked effect appears as a border around the second button in Figure 1.) To accomplish this, I set the CheckOnClick property for each button to True.
Making the Tool Strip Tabs Functional
This was the limit of what I could do with the designer. As you can see, I accomplished a lot without writing a lick of code. Now, it was time to design the individual panels and hook everything together. For my tab-style tool strip, I sought to implement the following logic:
- Display the Home panel by default when the application starts.
- Detect when a ToolStrip button is clicked. If the corresponding panel for that button is not already displayed, create and display it.
- Uncheck the previously checked button.
For each of the panels, I created a separate UserControl: one for the Home panel, one for the main Countdown panel, and one for the Settings panel. I named these panels
CDCountdownPanel, and
CDSettingsPanel, respectively.
Once I had implemented the bare shell of these UserControls, I set about writing the logic to display them in Panel1 of the SplitContainer. Since I only had three panels, I could have hard-coded a separate event handler for each button that instantiated and displayed the appropriate panel. However, that isn't a very extensible approach. It's fine for three buttons—but what if I eventually have six buttons? What if I want to use this same approach in a larger application that requires 10 or 20 buttons? I decided to write a single event handler to handle all of the buttons without hard-coding any values. I wanted the code to be abstract enough that, in the future, I could add another button and another panel with minimal changes to the ToolStripButton event handler code.
First, I went back to the designer and, for each ToolStripButton, set the Tag property to the name of the UserControl, prefixed with its namespace, to which the button corresponds. I did this so that my event handler could use the Tag property of the button that was clicked to deduce which UserControl it should instantiate. For example, for my
CDHomePanel UserControl, which exists in the namespace
Countdown, the fully qualified name is
Countdown.CDHomePanel. I assigned
"Countdown.CDHomePanel" to the Tag property of the Home button. Similarly, I set the Tag property of the Countdown button to
"Countdown.CDCountdownPanel", and the Tag property of the Settings button to
Next, I added some code that my form would require for the event handler. Since I was going to instantiate the UserControl panels dynamically, I would need to use classes defined in the System.Reflection and System.Runtime.Remoting namespaces. I also defined two class-level private variables my event handler would need:
_CurrentControl, a reference to the panel currently visible to the user; and
_CurrentClickedButton, a reference to the ToolStripButton corresponding to the visible panel.
Imports System.Threading Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D Imports System.Reflection Imports System.Runtime.Remoting Public Class Form1 Private _CurrentControl As Control Private _CurrentClickedButton As ToolStripButton = Nothing
Next, I added code to the Load event handler of my form to instantiate the Home panel, display it to the user, and initialize the
_CurrentControl and
_CurrentClickedButton variables with valid object references. Since I only have to do this once in the lifetime of the application, I directly created an instance of
CDHomePanel. Once the panel was instantiated, I added it to Panel1 of my SplitContainer.
Dim HomePanel As New CDHomePanel() HomePanel.Tag = "Countdown.CDHomePanel" HomePanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill SplitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(HomePanel) _CurrentControl = HomePanel _CurrentClickedButton = HomeButton
Finally, I wrote a method called
Navigate, which is designed to be called from the MouseDown event of each ToolStripButton. (I'll explain later in the section Incorporating Prompts when Switching Panels why I factored this code out into a separate method.) Since I was authoring in Visual Basic, I could use the Handles keyword to specify that this event handler applied to all three buttons. The handler looks at the Controls collection of Panel1 of my SplitContainer, and sees if the UserControl corresponding to this button has been created yet. If not, it creates it by passing the Tag property of the ToolStripButton to the CreateInstance method, which is defined on the AppDomain class.
Private Sub Navigate(ByVal sender As Object) Dim _NewControl As Control Dim _CurrentButton As ToolStripButton = CType(sender, ToolStripButton) Dim _ControlName As String = _CurrentButton.Tag.ToString() ' Uncheck the previous clicked button. _CurrentClickedButton.Checked = False _CurrentClickedButton = _CurrentButton ' First, make sure this isn't a redundant event - are we already ' displaying the control? If (Not (_ControlName = _CurrentControl.Name)) Then ' Get the control to use, and instantiate it dynamically ' if it isn't already defined. _NewControl = SplitContainer1.Panel1.Controls(_ControlName) If (_NewControl Is Nothing) Then ' Control not found - instantiate it. Dim _Oh As ObjectHandle = _ AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstance( _ Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName, _ControlName) _NewControl = _Oh.Unwrap() _NewControl.Name = _ControlName _NewControl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill SplitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(_NewControl) End If ' Hide the old control, and show the new one. _CurrentControl.Visible = False _NewControl.Visible = True _CurrentControl = _NewControl End If End Sub
With that, I was finished, and could compile and run the application successfully. Given the way I wrote the code, it would be easy to add a new button and panel in four steps.
- Author the UserControl.
- Create the ToolStripButton.
- Assign the name of the UserControl to the Tag property.
- Add the ToolStripButton to the Handles clause of the event handler.
As you can see, the most difficult step here is creating the new UserControl. Once that is done, all that is required is to configure the button as I did earlier and modify one line of code. You now have a replacement for the TabControl that is easy to extend and more open to customization.
Incorporating Prompts when Switching Panels
Once I finished all of this, some questions occurred to me. What happens when users click the Settings button when they are on the Countdown panel and the clock is running? And what happens if they are on the Settings panel and click the Countdown button before saving their settings? Should I keep the changes? Throw them away? Ask the user?
It became clear that the UserControl panels needed a mechanism by which their parent form could inform the UserControl panels that a navigation was about to occur. Likewise, the panels each needed a way to either allow or forbid such navigation, based on the panel's state. To achieve this, I defined an interface called
IPanelNavigating, and declared a single method named
CanNavigate for classes to implement. The
CanNavigate method returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the panel can be switched.
Public Interface IPanelNavigating Function CanNavigate() As Boolean End Interface
Since I would never have a need to stop navigation on the Home panel, I didn't implement it for this class. I implemented it for my Countdown panel, and use a message box to ask users if they want to end the countdown. If they do, I reset the timer and return True from
CanNavigate. If they do not wish to end the session, I return False.
To implement this in my main form, I added some logic to the MouseDown event handler I defined for all three ToolStripButton objects.
Private Sub ToolStripButton_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles HomeButton.MouseDown, _ CountdownButton.MouseDown, SettingsButton.MouseDown ' Attempt to cast to an IPanelNavigating. If not implemented, ' just navigate. If (TypeOf _CurrentControl Is IPanelNavigating) Then Dim _CanNavigate As IPanelNavigating = _ CType(_CurrentControl, IPanelNavigating) If (_CanNavigate.CanNavigate()) Then Navigate(sender) End If Else ' Just navigate. Navigate(sender) End If End Sub
I finished up the application by fleshing out the programming of the UserControl panels, and adding support for a custom title bar, which provided me another unique use of the ToolStrip control. (For details on how to implement this, see my Using ToolStrip to Create a Custom Title Bar post on the Windows Forms Documentation Updates blog.)
Outlook-Style Tool Strip
The great thing about the Countdown application architecture is that it is easy to reuse in other applications. Thanks to the power of the ToolStrip control, you can customize the look and feel radically to fit your application's needs. Figure 3 shows another example, a mock-up of a banking application. Here the navigation has an Outlook-style tool strip.
Figure 3. A simple mock layout that has an Outlook-style tool strip.
For this application, I placed the ToolStrip on the left, and left the right panel of the SplitContainer available for the UserControl panels. I formatted the ToolStripButton objects by setting DisplayStyle to ImageAndText, setting ImageAlign to MiddleCenter, setting TextAlign to MiddleRight, and setting TextImageRelation to Overlay. All of the logic I wrote for the Countdown application works fine in this application, and only needs minimal adjustment to work for an arbitrary number of ToolStripButton controls.
You can extend this concept further by adding buttons with submenus. ToolStrip supports a control called ToolStripDropDownButton, which allows you to add child controls that are displayed as a submenu when the user clicks the button. Figure 4 shows the mock banking sample modified so that the Settings button is a ToolStripDropDownButton with several submenu items denoting the different types of settings the user can modify.
Figure 4. The simple mock layout from Figure 3, with ToolStripDropDownButton controls that display submenus.
Collapsible Menus
After I had finished my Countdown application, I decided to look at other ways to implement complex menus and navigation systems using the new controls in Windows Forms. The first thing that caught my eye as "similar, yet different" was the Toolbox window in Visual Studio. If you have done any programming in Windows Forms or ASP.NET with Visual Studio, you're familiar with the way in which the Toolbox categorizes controls in a series of collapsible menus. Figure 5 shows an example of the collapsible menus in the Toolbox.
Figure 5. Collapsible menus in the Toolbox window of Visual Studio.
In previous versions of Windows Forms, emulating the Toolbox would have involved adding a lot of code for repositioning the collapsible menus. In Windows Forms, the task is greatly simplified by the FlowLayoutPanel control. FlowLayoutPanel hosts an arbitrary number of Windows Forms controls in a sequential flow, one control positioned after the other. The great thing about FlowLayoutPanel is that it is dynamic. If you remove or hide a control at run time, the other controls after it will "collapse" into the space it leaves. This is just what you need to implement collapsible menus.
I broke the collapsible control itself into two separate controls:
- A control named
ListHeaderto represent the shaded user interface element that displays the header text and the plus/minus collapsible indicator on the left side.
ListHeaderdefines an event that it raises whenever the collapsible indicator is clicked.
- A control named
CollapsibleControlthat combines
ListHeaderwith another arbitrary control (which I'll call the "content control").
CollapsibleControlcontains the FlowLayoutPanel, which displays an arbitrary number of content sections that can be collapsed and expanded.
I won't get into the details of how I implemented the
ListHeader control; interested readers can look at the code. The important fact here is that I defined a
ListHeaderStateChanged event to signal to
CollapsibleControl whether the content control should be collapsed or displayed.
ListHeaderStateChanged passes a
ListHeaderEventArgs, which defines a
State property of type
ListHeaderState is an enumeration with two possible values:
ListHeaderState.Expanded or
ListHeader complete, I set about creating
CollapsibleControl is divided into two parts.
First, I created a
CollapsibleControlSection class.
CollapsibleControlSection associates a content control with a header name.
Public Class CollapsingControlSection Inherits Object Private _SectionName As String = Nothing Private _Control As Control = Nothing Public Sub New(ByVal sectionName As String, ByVal control As Control) _SectionName = sectionName _Control = control End Sub Public Property SectionName() As String Get Return _SectionName End Get Set(ByVal value As String) _SectionName = value End Set End Property Public Property SectionControl() As Control Get Return _Control End Get Set(ByVal value As Control) _Control = value End Set End Property End Class
CollapsibleControl class uses the
ListHeader control and one or more
CollapsibleControlSection objects to display a set of content controls separated by headers. When one content control is collapsed, or hidden, the other controls will fill the space left behind. To pull off this trick, I first opened
CollapsibleControlSection in the Visual Studio designer and added a FlowLayoutPanel to the control. I set the Dock property of my FlowLayoutPanel to Fill, so that it occupied the entire area of the control.
Second, I created the
CollapsibleControl itself. The logic needed to make this control work is surprisingly simple. I imported the namespace System.Collections.Generic so that I could use the generic List(Of T) class to store
CollapsibleControlSection objects. This List is populated by the AddSection method, which performs the following operations:
- Creates a
ListHeaderfor the content control, and adds it and the content control to the end of the FlowLayoutPanel.
- Uses the
Tagproperty of the
ListHeadercontrol to associate the content control with its
ListHeadercontrol, so that
CollapsibleControlknows which content control to show and hide.
- Adds a handler for the
ListHeaderStateChangedevent, so that it can show or hide the appropriate content panel when the user clicks the collapsible indicator on
The following is the code for the
CollapsibleControl class.
Public Class CollapsibleControl Dim SectionList As List(Of CollapsibleControlSection) Public Sub New() ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent() SectionList = New List(Of CollapsibleControlSection)() End Sub Public Sub AddSection(ByVal NewSection As CollapsibleControlSection) SectionList.Add(NewSection) ' Add a new row. Dim Header As New ListHeader() Header.Text = NewSection.SectionName Header.Width = Me.Width AddHandler Header.ListHeaderStateChanged, _ AddressOf Header_ListHeaderStateChanged FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(Header) ' Get the position of the control we're going to add, ' so that we can show and hide it when needed. Header.Tag = FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Count Dim c As Control = NewSection.SectionControl c.Width = Me.Width FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(c) End Sub Sub Header_ListHeaderStateChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As ListHeaderStateChangedEventArgs) Dim header As ListHeader = CType(sender, ListHeader) Dim c As Control = FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls(CInt(header.Tag)) If e.State = ListHeaderState.Collapsed Then c.Hide() Else c.Show() End If End Sub End Class
Since I wasn't concerned about making the control designable, I didn't implement a
RemoveSection method, or provide any of the other infrastructure necessary to enable adding or removing sections in the Visual Studio designer. The control, as written, must be created and populated using code.
To test this code, I created a UserControl called
ToolboxContentControl, which will serve as my content control.
ToolboxContentControl contains a ToolStrip control that has two ToolStripButton controls configured to look like items in the Visual Studio Toolbox. (If I were to build a real world application using
CollapsibleControl, I would have a number of content controls, each with a number of options. For my test application, however, I used four instances of
ToolboxContentControl.) Then I added a
CollapsibleControl to my application's main form class, and a little code to populate it with four sections:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim NewSection As New CollapsibleControlSection( _ "Toolbox Controls", New ToolboxContentControl()) Me.CollapsibleControl1.AddSection(NewSection) Dim NewSection2 As New CollapsibleControlSection( _ "Toolbox Controls 2", New ToolboxContentControl()) Me.CollapsibleControl1.AddSection(NewSection2) Dim NewSection3 As New CollapsibleControlSection( _ "Toolbox Controls 3", New ToolboxContentControl()) Me.CollapsibleControl1.AddSection(NewSection3) Dim NewSection4 As New CollapsibleControlSection( _ "Toolbox Controls 4", New ToolboxContentControl()) Me.CollapsibleControl1.AddSection(NewSection4) End Sub
The result was exactly what I was aiming for; a set of collapsible menus that were re-positioned when one or more of the menus were collapsed—thanks to the power of FlowLayoutPanel. Figure 6 shows a sample of the collapsible menus.
Figure 6. Collapsible menus sample in action.
The collapsible menu sample imitates the menus in the Visual Studio Toolbox, but the Toolbox window also has the ability to slide in and out of view. This type of window is sometimes called a flyout panel.
Flyout Panel
A flyout panel is a panel that slides into view when requested by the user and slides out of view when not used. The Visual Studio Toolbox window slides into view when you position the mouse pointer over the Toolbox icon. When the mouse pointer leaves the vicinity of both the Toolbox icon and the panel, the panel automatically slides out of view.
You can implement this same behavior in Windows Forms by once again employing our good friend, the ToolStrip control. For my first step, I created a new UserControl called
ToolboxPanel. I did the same thing for
ToolboxPanel that I did for the collapsible menu test form; I added a
CollapsibleControl, and added some code to populate it with four sections for testing purposes.
Next, I created a new form for my project, and set it as the startup form. Then I added a ToolStrip, and set the Dock property to Left. I created a single ToolStripLabel icon, assigned it a Toolbox-like image, and set the Text property to the word
"Toolbox". To make the text display vertically, I set the TextDirection property of the ToolStrip button to Vertical90.
For my test form, all I wanted to do was show a single flyout panel. However, in the real world, you would probably want a series of flyout panels, like Visual Studio uses. I wrote my code in a way that would eventually support multiple flyout panels (albeit not without further enhancements). Borrowing from a trick I used earlier with my Countdown application, I set the Tag property of my ToolStripLabel to
"TestPanelFlyoutVB.ToolboxPanel", which is the fully qualified name of the
ToolboxPanelcontrol I created earlier. The fully qualified name is used in the MouseEnter event of the ToolStripLabel to instantiate the
ToolboxPanel control if it doesn't already exist.
I placed two Timer controls on the form to help with the flyout animation.
PanelTimer is activated when the flyout panel needs to be shown or hidden.
MouseLeaveTimerprovides a one-second delay in retracting the panel when the mouse leaves the ToolStripLabel. This is because our flyout panel logic has to accommodate two possibilities:
- The user places the mouse back over the ToolStripLabel almost immediately, in which case the flyout panel should remain displayed.
- The mouse leaves the ToolStripLabel, but enters the area of the flyout panel, in which case the flyout panel should remain displayed so that the user can interact with it. There is an interesting edge case here in which the mouse can be momentarily positioned over the thin border of the ToolStrip control that resides between the ToolStripLabel and the flyout panel itself. The one-second delay gives the user time to finish moving the cursor onto the flyout panel.
With these in place, I wrote the following code to tie everything together.
Imports System.Runtime.Remoting Imports System.Reflection Public Class FlyoutForm Dim _DoFade As Boolean = False Dim _HaveProcessedMouseEnter As Boolean = False Dim _CurrentControl As Control = Nothing Dim _CachedControlPoint As Point = Nothing Sub ToolBoxLabel_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles ToolBoxLabel.MouseEnter If Not _HaveProcessedMouseEnter Then _HaveProcessedMouseEnter = True If (_DoFade) Then PanelTimer.Stop() _DoFade = False ElseIf (_CurrentControl Is Nothing) Then ' Get the control to use, and instantiate it dynamically. Dim controlName As String = CType(sender, _ ToolStripLabel).Tag.ToString() Dim oh As ObjectHandle = _ AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstance( _ Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName, controlName) _CurrentControl = CType(oh.Unwrap(), Control) _CurrentControl.Height = Me.Height _CurrentControl.Location = New Point( _ toolStrip1.Location.X + toolStrip1.Width - _ _CurrentControl.Width, 0) _CachedControlPoint = _CurrentControl.Location Me.Controls.Add(_CurrentControl) ' The following calls make the panel appear above all ' other controls on the form, ' *except* the ToolStrip with the panel buttons. _CurrentControl.BringToFront() toolStrip1.BringToFront() End If PanelTimer.Start() End If End Sub 'toolBoxLabel_MouseEnter Sub ToolBoxLabel_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles ToolBoxLabel.MouseLeave ' Slight problem: We could be transitioning between the ToolStrip 'and the flyout panel. If the ' mouse is in an inbetween state where it's not over the ' ToolStripLabel but *is* over the ' thin wedge of the ToolStrip itself, we'll fade the panel ' erroneously. So let's kick off this ' timer to give the user time to transition. The delay built into ' VS is about 1 second; that ' should work for us. MouseLeaveTimer.Start() End Sub Private Sub PanelTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PanelTimer.Tick If _DoFade Then ' Hide the panel. If _CachedControlPoint.X + _CurrentControl.Size.Width > _ toolStrip1.Location.X + toolStrip1.Width Then _CachedControlPoint.Offset(-20, 0) _CurrentControl.Location = _CachedControlPoint Else PanelTimer.Stop() _HaveProcessedMouseEnter = False _DoFade = False End If Else ' Show the panel. If _CachedControlPoint.X < toolStrip1.Location.X + _ toolStrip1.Width Then _CachedControlPoint.Offset(20, 0) _CurrentControl.Location = _CachedControlPoint Else PanelTimer.Stop() _HaveProcessedMouseEnter = False _DoFade = True End If End If End Sub Private Sub MouseLeaveTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MouseLeaveTimer.Tick ' If we're over the flyout panel, don't trigger the leave event. Dim controlUnderMouse As Control = _ Me.GetChildAtPoint(Me.PointToClient( _ System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position)) ' This may get us whatever child control is under the ToolStrip. ' We need to inspect ' parent controls until we reach the Form. If we don't find a ' control that matches ' _CurrentControl in the parenting chain, we fade. Dim overPanel As Boolean = False While controlUnderMouse IsNot Me ' If we're over the blank form area, controlOverMouse ' will be null. If controlUnderMouse Is Nothing Then overPanel = False Exit While End If If controlUnderMouse Is _CurrentControl Then overPanel = True Exit While End If controlUnderMouse = controlUnderMouse.Parent End While If Not overPanel Then ' Since the mouse must leave the panel area SOMETIME, ' keep checking until we've left. MouseLeaveTimer.Stop() PanelTimer.Start() End If End Sub End Class
With this code incorporated, my flyout panel sample worked smoothly. Figure 7 shows the flyout panel in full view.
Figure 7. Flyout panel sample in action.
Note The sample application runs slower under the Visual Studio debugger. In particular, the flyout panel slows down to about half its expected speed. The sample runs as expected when it is executed outside of the debugger.
There is obviously more work that can be done here in terms of stylizing the flyout panel, incorporating multiple panels, and implementing such features as pinning (where the flyout panel remains visible instead of flying in and out). Also, in order to support adding other flyout panel tabs, I would need to add logic to check for an open flyout panel and retract it before displaying the new panel.

Dholera Investment is irresistible opportunity?
Dholera Investment is the latest fever that has plagued every real estate investor. Factors such as its accelerated development, enhanced impetus from government and its strategic location are playing key roles.
With Rs. 3,000 crore (appx) being granted by the central government for investment in Dholera, the trunk infrastructure project has begun on a 22.5 Sq. Km. activation area. Dholera investment project also got a major boost as it is located near the 1,483 kilometer long DMIC corridor which enhances its possibility of becoming a global trading and manufacturing hub.
Major infrastructure projects including 6 lane expressway, international airport, metro and port connectivity and extended railway line not only promises to enhance the connectivity of the region across globe but is also playing an instrumental role in attracting substantial investment through multinationals and foreign investors.
Dholera investment is also likely to surge due to the low valuation of property in the region which is likely to multiply 3-4 times within a short duration. This shall give the investors an irreversible opportunity to earn tremendous incomes from their investment in Dholera.
Other aspects such as flexibility to build from scratch, favorable state government and relaxation of FDI norms in real estate shall also go a long way in making investments in Dholera a wiser decision.

I've watched both TVB and mainland version of Xia Ke Xing. The potrayal of Shi PoTian by Tony Leung and Wu Jian are very different from each other.
Tony Leung's Shi Potian was kind, mild-mannered and mature. His demeanor was always calm and rather passive.
Wu Jian's Shi PoTian was also very kind, but his Shi PoTian was friendly, always smiling and childlike. He is certainly not calm and passive.
So, which one is the correct Shi PoTian?
If both are inaccurate potrayal of the character, what is Shi PoTian really like?

This post will remain at the top through August 13. Please scroll down for newer posts.
It's time for another Blog Hop! If you're following the hop in order, you arrived here from Linda Wicks's blog. Isn't she amazingly talented and creative? Every time I get a card in the mail with her return address, I can't wait to open it.
We're showcasing projects using products from the Stampin' Up!® Holiday catalog and products with fall themes from the annual catalog. You can return to the hop home page at any time by clicking the Blog Hop banner (above) or the Home button at the end.
My projects are "Back to School." Since my boys are older, "Back to School" means college to me. Here are a few things I'd send with my college bound student.
This is a photo holder using the Wonderfall set from the Stampin' Up!® Holiday catalog, as well as the Autumn Accents Bigz die from Sizzix. I love the Champagne glimmer paper and the Summer Starfruit ribbon. Instead of a photo, I inserted a positive message from the "I Am…" set we were given at Convention 2012.
To make this, just decorate a jumbo paper clip. Easy! I put a little piece of c'oredinations paper on the bottom of each side as a base, then layered leaves and added ribbon.
Every student I know needs to be organized, so I made this little folder to help out. It's a simple report folder, but I folded it so it has four pages inside with pockets. It holds assignments, to-do lists, tickets, money, grocery lists, whatever you need a place for. I used the "I Am…" set again on the front with a Flourish designer frame and mini brads from the Holiday catalog. It ties closed with a strip of Spice Cake designer fabric. Here's a little peek at the inside.
Don't you love that paper clip? It's wrapped with an antique brad. Shelli Gardner, Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up!®, showed us this idea at Convention in July. It's a quick and easy way to dress up ordinary office supplies. Here's a little bit bigger photo of the folder inside. I used Comfort Cafe designer series paper and Very Vanilla card stock on my folder.
I put a little bookmark in the folder, too, because most college students either keep their books for future reference (like me) or they sell them to the next class. Either way, you don't want dog-eared pages.
More Comfort Cafe designer series paper with the Wonderfall stamp set and Autumn Accents Bigz die from Sizzix.
And finally – a card from home letting him or her know how proud I am! The card uses the Daydream Medallions set from the Stampin' Up® annual catalog with new In Colors (Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse, Gumball Green). This is a CASE of a card from my friend Susan Horr from New York. (Thanks, Susan!!)
Your next hop stop is the wonderfully talented Marsha Reed. Prepare to be amazed by her projects!
Thanks for joining the hop this weekend! Have a wonderful time enjoying the projects and getting some inspiration!

What's Up?
We met our San Diego IPT group last night at the introductory Meet and Greet. It looks as if it will be a great group. And best of all, the weather is improving. We meet the group at 6am for our first crack at the pelicans.
This image was created at La Jolla, CA with the Induro GIT 304L tripod/Mongoose M3.6-mounted Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM lens with the Canon EOS 5DS R DSLR . ISO 800. Evaluative metering +1 stop as framed: 1/160 sec. at f/5.6. AWB. On-camera fill flash at -3 stops with the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT

Sometimes When It is Supposed to Suck, It Doesn't…
Weather forecast for San Diego, 7am, Thursday January 7, 2015: 80% chance of torrential downpours with high winds.
What to do? Head to the cliffs of course. It had poured twice between 4 and 6am when I left the hotel. To get to my rental car, I had to wade through an eight-inch deep puddle. It was drizzling when I arrived. I scoped out the situation and found that there were no birds in their usual spot. But there were several hundred roosting nearby. The next thing that I know good friend Patrick Sparkman materialized right behind me. Long story short: we had one of our best-ever mornings at the cliffs. And that included lots of neat flight photography with our 100-400 IIs.
So what are the morals of the story?
- Pay no attention at all to the weather forecast; you will not make any good images in your hotel room.
- Bad weather often makes for excellent photography.
I will be sharing many more images from this wonderful morning here with you in future blog posts.

Celebrating Our Physician Assistant, Tracy Perkins
October 07, 2014 in Article, Ask the Expert, Awards & Recognition, Pain Management,
Posted by Tracy B. Perkins
5639 Views
Tracy Perkins joined our VSI team over 10 years ago in 2003. She is our most tenured Physician Assistant and acts as Dr. Hasz's second set of hands. She works side by side him not only in the office seeing patients but also in the operating room where she helps patients navigate their experience at the hospital. Learn about what inspired this former collegiate athlete to become a PA. Tracy, we appreciate you!
When I was very young, I decided that I was going to be a vet and take care of animals. Unfortunately, I was severely allergic to dogs, cats, and anything else that walked on four legs. I quickly became a realist and decided that taking care of humans was a better choice! I entered college on the path to becoming a doctor, but in my second year of school I met a friend who was working to become a PA. This seemed to be a much better fit for me for many reasons, especially the ability to change specialties if I wanted to and the potential for flexibility in starting a family and in just life in general. I liked that PAs focus on patient care and not as much on the business aspects of a practice. My path to becoming a PA included invaluable experience as a medical assistant and EMT, which I still use today. I was also able to train at Yale, one of the best medical schools in the country.
I can easily say that the most rewarding aspect of working at Virginia Spine Institute is the pervasive feeling of "family." I feel this when I talk with my co-workers, patients, or just in an exchanged smile or "hello" walking in the hall past someone I have never even met. As Dr. Hasz's surgical PA, I get to know our patients and their family even better as they prepare for surgery and go through the recovery process. I have shared many laughs, tears, and hugs with my VSI family over the years. Every patient I see is on a journey to try to feel better, and I feel that it is my job as a PA to be a guide to make their journey as easy as possible. Happy PA Week!

Treating Incontinence in Women with Osteoporosis
Posted on February 26, 2016
February 2016 -- Many women with osteoporosis also suffer from incontinence. Now a Canadian clinical trial has found that simple pelvic floor muscle training can significantly reduce leakage episodes.
The findings are important because exercise helps in the treatment of osteoporosis, but those with incontinence are prone to leaking urine when they're physically active, deterring them from exercising.

Today Canberra becomes the first place in Australia to host a public holiday for Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. Reconciliation Day replaces the Family and Community Day holiday, which replaced the Melbourne Cup holiday before that.
This image of Arras, France was taken on the 26th of May, 1917. It shows the Hôtel de Ville (town hall) in ruins.
Arras was near the front line of the First World War, and saw significant battles from as early as 1914.
This image, taken on the 24th of May, 1915, shows Australian and Turkish troops collecting the dead after a nine-hour truce was called at the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey.
After an attack from the Turks five days earlier that left more than 3000 dead, the stench became so strong both sides agreed to remove the bodies.
The fighting in Turkey came to be commemorated in Australia and New Zealand as Anzac Day on the 25th of April each year.
Canada honoured the Queen's official birthday on the 21st of May this year. The British monarchs have celebrated an official birthday separate to their real birthday since the 1740s.
In 1859 this holiday occurred on the 24th of May, which was in fact Queen Victoria's real birthday. To mark the occasion officials in Toronto handed out tickets for free loaves of bread.
This photograph is dated the 20th of May, 1961, and is of Buckley Junction Station.
Buckley, a village in the Flintshire region of Wales, is known for its distinct dialect. The unique way of speech is dying out as people come and go from the area.
This image is of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, on the King's official birthday on the 19th of May, 1939.
The British monarch has celebrated an official birthday separate to their real birthday since George II began the tradition in 1748. The purpose of the different date was to ensure celebrations could be held in a warmer month, where there was a better chance of the weather being fine.

Jane Goodall's Camp
On July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American volunteer at Dr. Jane Goodall's famous chimpanzee research camp in the Gombe Stream National Park of Tanzania, East Africa, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest. Six days later, her body was found floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. Dale Peterson PhD reveals for the first time the full story of day-to-day life in Goodall's wilderness camp - the people and the animals, the stresses and excitements, the social conflicts and cultural alignments, and the astonishing friendships that developed between three of the researchers and some of the chimpanzees-during the months preceding that tragic event. Peterson is an award-winning author, including Notable Book of the Year by the NYTimes and Best Book of the Year by the Boston Globe.

Decommissioning Dounreay Nuclear Site
The decommissioning of the Dounreay nuclear fast reactor research and development facility, first established in Caithness in the 1950s as the world's first fast breeder reactor site, is now well underway.
The decommissioning programme is set out in a document called the Lifetime Plan which details the scope of the work schedule and its cost. The plan also identifies the manpower needed to see the clean-up through to completion.
Details of the Lifetime Plan and the site licence company – Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd (DSRL) can be accessed on Dounreay's website.
The contract to decommission the Dounreay site to an interim end state was secured by Cavendish Dounreay Partnership, a consortium consisting of Cavendish Nuclear, CH2M HILL and URS. The decommissioning programme is now on an accelerated schedule and is expected to be completed by the year 2030 - 2033.

Morally Irresponsible, Economically Insane
We've spent the last few years worrying about Too Big to Fail institutions, from banks to automakers – it's now time for us to focus on those Too Small to Fail – America's kids.
Let me explain.
One of the reasons America has prospered like no other country is that we have systematically invested in our future generations. This has meant that succeeding generations are healthier, better educated and better equipped to enter the workforce.
That was then – this is now.
Today's kids are sicker (kids' chronic disease has doubled in the past twenty years), falling behind on standardized international tests, and increasingly likely to live in poverty. All this is happening at a time when governments at all levels are cutting back on programs that affect kids, and families are struggling to make ends meet and have enough family time to raise a successful child. As a result, we are stagnating in our investments in children at a time when many of our competitors are investing in their next generation.
This is morally irresponsible and economically insane.
That is why Next Generation started its multi-year campaign, Too Small to Fail. The purpose is simple – over the course of several years, Next Generation and its partners in Too Small will make the case for why it is important for America to invest in its kids, because the problems are complex but the answer is simple – kids are a good investment and pay great dividends for the country as a whole.
In fact, investing in kids saves us money. Take early childhood education. For every dollar spent on early childhood education, taxpayers save up to $13 due to less remedial education, lower grade repetition, and higher productivity later in life.
But it is not just taxpayers that need to make greater investments – it is all of us. That is why Too Small to Fail stresses Personal, Private and Public investment. Through personal investments (like increased reading with children, better diet, having a healthy media diet) families can help their kids be ready to learn and be productive; through private investments by nonprofits and businesses (like improved workplace flexibility, philanthropic support for kids and families groups, business support for local schools) organizations can help invest in the workforce of the future; and through public investment (like support for schools, early childhood education, childhood nutrition programs) we can support the base of programs that have proven effective in helping young kids grow into successful adults.
Too Small to Fail plans to be highly visible, occasionally controversial, and inclusive. We want to ensure that the dialogue we have over investments in kids is open, honest, and transparent.
And we welcome (and want) your input. Visit our Too Small to Fail Facebook page to join the discussion.
America's kids are counting on you.
