Regional Literature: Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Bicolano, Tagalog - Writers must maximize technology to disseminate their creative works.
Regional Literature - Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Bicolano, Tagalog - may become irrelevant if not adequately disseminated. Works in the library archives need to be aggressively uploaded, distributed, promoted, and marketed. Today, there are more ways of preserving regional texts because technology continues to upgrade systems of data gathering and synthesis of details via key words, hashtags and similar search tools. But patrons of Philippine literature and sympathetic literary geeks who will target readers via strategic placements of key words leading to regional literature have yet to emerge.
Writing about the regions, using the local language and maybe, first and foremost, for the regions is an excellent way to go for writers. Although the "great divide" that is between the Ingliseros and the Tagalistas for example still exist, writers in the local dialects are not anymore feeling isolated. Today, there is more confidence among those who write in Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Bicolano and Tagalog to make their regional voices part of the bigger literary community, that is, even outside the country, especially in Asia. But some writers are complacent and are content to keep their works within the academic archives. Most of them have not yet found the self-confidence to upload their works in platforms that are ordered in a way that invites and drives traffic to their creations. The new insecurity seems to come from a lack of technological knowledge on how to make their presence felt on the net. Another hindrance could be the belief that writers should refrain from promoting their own works via a blog, facebook or twitter. But writers from the regions, have to make their hashtags, keywords and other search tools, reach out to a greater number of target readers and consumers of literature. Their works have to appear high on search-engine's listings. Filipinos abroad will surely welcome a satisfactory representation of their mother tongues on the net. Idiomatic tones and raw cultural accents will feed nostalgia and give a closer sense of home.
Furthermore, even as regional writers preserve the town or Baranggay contexts, the Barrio contexts, the bayan or bukid contexts, the provincial contexts and the regional contexts, they need to also become participants in underlining the e-mail context, facebook context, Instagram context, and the skype or other cloud contexts. The regional voices sounding off in those e-contexts are excellent sources of information for future generations of students of Philippine literature, culture and national history. They amply expose emerging narratives in this ever expanding Filipino diaspora. Filipino writers writing in Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Bicolano, Tagalog need to seize each moment's use of their local language including the modifications, appropriations, copings, and adjustments to alien tongues (not just English) that become part of the regional tone or voice. They have to make their voice heard using the multi-platforms that technology offers.

Hard-Hearted Highlander is the third book in the Highland Grooms series by Julia London. It can easily be read as a stand alone novel.
It's called Hard-Hearted Highlander, but dear Rabbie Mackenzie only comes across like that, and when you realise why, then you'll fall in love with him just like I did. Not only does he have a very sad past to contend with, he also is betrothed to a young English miss. Aveline is a young 17 year old, a pretty naïve young thing who isn't happy about the betrothal either. But neither she nor Rabbie have a choice, as the marriage joins two families who need what the other has to offer. Rabbie hasn't got the patience to even be pleasant to his future bride and she and his family just see him as a mean Hard-Hearted Highlander, one beneath them.
Bernadette Holly comes from a noble family, but falling in love with the wrong man, an elopement, and it's subsequent breaking by Bernadette's father has seen her now despised by him. In an attempt to get away from all gossip and of course from her wicked father, she becomes a lady's maid to Aveline. They are friends as well, and Aveline can only bear being in Scotland and having to marry because Bernadette will be with her.
Rabbie's first meeting with Bernadette doesn't go very well, in fact he is most astounded at how she speaks to him as if she is in a higher position than a maid, a servant who should be subservient to him. As they interact more, and argue more, the more Rabbie finds himself attracted to her. She brings his soul back to life, the soul that seemed to have died many years ago. Bernadette will admit to herself that she too finds herself seeing behind Rabbie's mean facade, and finds him a very attractive man. She knows she can never be anything to him because of her circumstances. Rabbie knows he can't be anything to her either because of his betrothal, but that doesn't stop them finding themselves in passionate embraces. And what passion! I swear that the first time Rabbie grabs Bernadette for a kiss I held my breath, and then felt like swooning. What a fabulous scene!
So, what are our couple to do? Even before falling for Rabbie herself, Bernadette knows that he can't marry Aveline, she'd fall to pieces as his wife. He can't cry off the engagement because it would mean her ruination. I mean if a Highlander won't take her as a wife, then what proper English man would?? The only way to stop the wedding would be for Aveline to call it off herself, but everything that Bernadette tells her about Rabbie makes no difference to her. She is determined not to call off the wedding. But why? We know she doesn't want to marry him, so what does she want?
Does the wedding go ahead, and even if it doesn't, what of Bernadette and Rabbie, can they get past the obstacles that should keep them apart??
This book is amazing, the story so moving, the characters so believable. I loved the relationships between them all, even the horrid ones like the ones between Aveline and her mother and father. Mr Kent (the dad) is the villain of the story and believe me, if I could have reached into the book and smacked him in the face I think I would have. Perfect writing of a bad character is when you have violent feelings towards them!! As well as the romance or possible romances in this book, you also have the story of life after the failed Jacobite uprising, which is all part of why Rabbie is having to marry Aveline in the first place. Such an interesting story that kept me captivated from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it 100%.
That's fantastic that you loved this. The premise doesn't really appeal to me, though. Maybe I should give it a go. I do love highlanders!

Guest Post: Three RBBCs to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts
Draft Strategy, Tips & Strategy September 1, 2009 JacobLeave a comment
This second guest post comes to us all the way across the pond from Ross Mooring of Never Kick a Gift Horse in the Teeth. This article is a follow up to his first guest post on three RBBCs to avoid in your drafts this season.
It's now time to look at the running-back-by-committees (RBBC) that fantasy owners should try to monopolize in drafts this year. In most cases, fantasy players should study RBBC situations and draft only the favorites to receive the most carries when the time is right, but some teams possess running backs who collectively are undervalued or that, when drafted together, increase the value and reliability of those players.
A fit (well, fitter) Marion Barber is a surefire fantasy workhorse. One of the toughest running backs in the game, Barber is not only a threat on the goal line but also receiving out of the backfield. He will get every yard available.
MBIII has shockingly been falling to the beginning of the third round in 12-team drafts, mainly because of the presence of Felix Jones. This fall makes Barber an absolute steal given his propensity to carry the rock into the end zone on a weekly basis.
Jones still represents draft value at the very end of the sixth round, but here's the clincher: the two of them offer different skill sets, don't mutually deplete fantasy value very much and will be given enough touches to produce fantasy points.
Barber cannot carry the ball 25 times per game without breaking down while Jones is a threat in space, not in short-yardage situations. Take both with glee, and if you smell an injury, Tashard Choice won't be waiver-wire fodder for long.
I'm making a joke, right? The Colts' backfield, the very same backfield that struggled immensely in 2008, is one of the top three to target in 2009? Yes, it is!
Last year, not only did Joseph Addai have injury problems, but so did three of his offensive linemen and Peyton Manning. All have returned to good health this season. One must remember that Indianapolis is an offensive machine — always has been, always will be. At least while Manning is around…
Between Addai and rookie Donald Brown, we either have one back who will produce RB1 stat lines or two backs who will post RB2 and RB3 numbers. At the very worst, drafting both guarantees you will have insurance against an Addai injury.
You can wait on taking a second back through the first three or even four rounds — yes, Addai has been falling that far (ADP: 5.08!) — and secure the most undervalued RBBC in all of football in the sixth or seventh round.
Just make sure you don't get arrested for robbery at the end of the year.
The word on the grapevine is that last year was an offensive hiccup for San Diego, not in terms of total output but in the fact that the Chargers succeeded by passing the football and not running it.
With an improved defense (Shawne Merriman single-handedly improves this unit), why not control the game by slowing it down on the ground and letting Philip Rivers air it out with play action when necessary?
With LaDainian Tomlinson hitting the big 3-0 and Darren Sproles not yet a seasoned pro, one could be forgiven for doubting them, but L.T. is a once-in-a-decade back. A single season of wear and tear is not going to bring him down. A pick in the latter half of the first round — anywhere after that is a steal — represents value.
The kicker is that Sproles, who is playing under a franchise tag, is not going until late in the eighth round. If you're in the right draft slot, take them both and sleep well knowing you have guaranteed yourself some big production at running back.
And one more bonus RBBC…
Editor's Note: Tampa Bay was originally the third team to target until recent news revealed the 2-2-1 split they plan to use with Earnest Graham, Derrick Ward and Cadillac Williams. Take these words as you will now that we know this committee will be very divided...
Tampa Bay is one of a couple of backfields that will be drafted late, mainly because of the lack of standout names but also because the statistical ceiling isn't quite as sexy as it is elsewhere.
Make no mistake, Derrick Ward and Earnest Graham will consistently notch points for fantasy owners in 2009 — the former with the bulk of the carries and the latter with the bulk of the touchdowns.
The advantage of this RBBC is that Tampa Bay does not have much of a passing game to hang its hat on. Antonio Bryant is unpredictable and potentially unreliable, and the same could be said of Kellen Winslow and his health issues. On top of that, the quarterback situation is confusing, and there seems to be little reason for Raheem Morris to do anything but lean on the run.
Ward has been drafted right at the end of the fourth round (steal), and Graham has seen his number called as late as the end of the tenth round (bigger steal!).
Do you agree or disagree with Ross on these RBBCs to target? As always, the comments are yours. Read more of Ross' writing at Never Kick a Gift Horse in the Teeth.

Guest Post: Three RBBCs to Avoid in Fantasy Football Drafts
Tips & Strategy August 10, 2009 Jacob3 Comments
This guest post comes to us all the way across the pond from Ross Mooring of Never Kick a Gift Horse in the Teeth. If you enjoy his thoughts on RBBCs in the NFL, you can read more in his recent posts on the AFC and the NFC.
In the past five years, the landscape of fantasy football has changed in a difficult but interesting way. Gone are the days of a multitude of "bell cow" running backs to stack on your roster — run out of town by the rise of running-back-by-committees (RBBC) to the extent that the number of reliable weekly starters has decreased into the teens. In terms of formatting your roster, this shift means you will end up with three, if not four, backs on your team who share time.
The new environment requires more research for your average fantasy drafter. One has to pay lots of attention to training camp battles and keep an eye on pretty much every preseason game in order to make sure that running back "A" has not passed running back "B" on the depth chart, and even so far as to looking into what running back "C" is doing.
With this in mind, I've chosen the top three RBBCs to avoid in your fantasy draft.
A star running back in 2007, Willis McGahee started the Ravens' camp on the PUP. During the offseason, big-boned LeRon McClain was talked down from his previous years' short-yardage success and talked up concerning fullback duties, while rookie starlet Ray Rice was bigged up to improve in his sophomore year.
If he's fit, McGahee, however, is the prototypical workhorse of the group, but remember that coach John Harbaugh seemingly picked his favorite week-to-week on a random basis last year. As a result, while someone has to run the ball in Baltimore and do it well, it's a crapshoot at this point.
If you think the Ravens' backfield committee is a mess, try working out what's going to happen in New England! Will former first-round pick Laurence Maroney finally fufill his potential? Will Bill Belichick become smitten with free agent grandpa Fred Taylor?
Will Sammy Morris steer clear of injuries and monopolize the carries? And will Kevin Faulk continue to eat into time on passing and third downs? If you can figure this backfield out, you'll be rewarded. If not, join the rest of us and scratch your head.
Staying in the AFC East with this one, there's another triple-headed monster to tackle with the added bonus of a potentially weak passing offense in need of a running game to take the pressure off. Thomas Jones surprised many with his 2008 return to form, and he should do so again this year, except in a different way.
Jones has contract issues, and these issues led the Jets to draft power back Shonn Greene out of Iowa. The other runner in the mix, Leon Washington, also wants more money and figures to get more time this year as well. Without Brett Favre and Laveranues Cole around to keep defenses honest, there is too much risk here.

You can't correct a poor bite with braces or clear aligners overnight: Even the most cut-and-dried case can still require a few years to move teeth where they should be. It's a welcome relief, then, when you're finally done with braces or aligner trays.
That doesn't mean, however, that you're finished with orthodontic treatment. You now move into the next phase—protecting your new smile that took so much to gain. At least for a couple of more years you'll need to regularly wear an orthodontic retainer.
The name of this custom-made device explains its purpose: to keep or "retain" your teeth in their new, modified positions. This is necessary because the same mechanism that allows us to move teeth in the first place can work in reverse.
That mechanism centers around a tough but elastic tissue called the periodontal ligament. Although it primarily holds teeth in place, the ligament also allows for tiny, gradual tooth movement in response to mouth changes. Braces or aligner trays take advantage of this ability by exerting pressure on the teeth in the direction of intended movement. The periodontal ligament and nature do the rest.
But once we relieve the pressure when we remove the braces or aligners, a kind of "muscle memory" in the ligament can come into play, causing the teeth to move back to where they originally were. If we don't inhibit this reaction, all the time and effort put into orthodontic treatment can be lost.
Retainers, either the removable type or one fixed in place behind the teeth, gently "push" or "pull" against the teeth (depending on which type) just enough to halt any reversing movement. Initially, a patient will need to wear their retainer around the clock. After a while, wear time can be reduced to just a few hours a day, usually during sleep-time.
Most younger patients will only need to wear a retainer for a few years. Adults who undergo teeth-straightening later in life, however, may need to wear a retainer indefinitely. Even so, a few hours of wear every day is a small price to pay to protect your beautiful straightened smile.
If you would like more information on orthodontic retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers."
While retainers are often viewed as a nuisance, they're crucial to protect the gains made with bite correction. Without them, all of the progress achieved through braces or clear aligners could be lost.
Here's why: The same elastic gum tissue called the periodontal ligament that holds teeth in place also allows them to move incrementally in response to changes in the mouth. That's why we can move teeth with braces or aligners, which put pressure on the teeth toward a desired direction of movement while the periodontal ligament does the rest.
But the mechanics can also work in reverse: With pressure relieved when the braces are removed, the teeth could revert to their original positions through a kind of "muscle memory." The light pressure provided by a retainer is enough to keep or "retain" teeth in their new positions.
The best known retainer is a removable appliance. Initially, a patient wears it continuously and only takes it out during oral hygiene. Wear duration may later be reduced to night time only and eventually not at all, depending on a patient's individual needs.
While effective, removable retainers do have some downsides. Like braces, they're visible to others. And because they're removable, they're frequently misplaced or lost, leading to the added expense of a new one.
An alternative is a bonded retainer, a thin piece of wire attached to the back of the newly moved teeth to keep them in place. Because it's behind the teeth it's not visible—and there's no misplacing it because only a dentist can take it out.
A bonded retainer is a good option, especially if a patient is immature and not as diligent about wearing or keeping up with their appliance. But it can make flossing difficult to perform, and if they're removed or broken prematurely, the teeth could revert to their former positions.
If you decide to go with a bonded retainer, be sure you get some tips from your dental hygienist on how to floss with it. And if you decide later to have it removed early, be sure to replace it with a removable retainer. Either of these two options can help you keep your new and improved smile.
If you would like more information on bonded retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Bonded Retainers."

It's been a long road with your braces, but now they're finally off. Hopefully the first glimpse of your new smile more than made up for the time and effort they required.
But while braces removal is a big milestone, it's not the end of your treatment—not, that is, if you want to keep that new smile! You'll now need to wear an appliance called a retainer for a few years or, in some cases, from now on.
Orthodontic retainers are a must after braces for the same reason braces work in the first place—your teeth can move. While the teeth attach to the jawbone via the roots, they're firmly held in place by an elastic gum tissue network called the periodontal ligament. This tough but elastic tissue lies between the teeth and gums and attaches securely to both with tiny fibers.
While the ligament provides stability, it's also dynamic—constantly remodeling to allow the teeth to move in response to biting pressure and other mouth factors. Orthodontists use this mechanism when moving teeth to better positions. The braces apply pressure on the teeth in the desired direction and the periodontal ligament responds as the teeth move.
Afterward, however, the ligament can still retain a kind of "muscle memory" for a time of the teeth's old positions. Free of the pressure once supplied by the braces the teeth have a tendency, especially early on, to "rebound" to where they were.
A retainer helps prevent this by exerting just enough pressure to "retain" the teeth in their new positions. In the beginning this may require wearing the appliance around the clock, but you may be able later to reduce wear time to just a few hours a day. Rebounding is unpredictable, so you should continue to follow your orthodontist's recommendations on retainer wear.
Wearing a retainer may seem like a drag, but it's absolutely essential. Being diligent about it will help ensure that the beautiful smile you and your orthodontist worked so hard to obtain stays with you for years to come.

Moving your teeth to a more functional and attractive alignment is a big undertaking. You can invest months — even years — and a lot of expense to correct a bad bite. But all that effort could be for nothing if your teeth return to their original positions.
The very aspect of dental physiology that makes orthodontics possible can work against you in reverse. Your teeth are not actually rigidly fixed in the bone: they're held in place by an elastic gum tissue known as the periodontal ligament. The ligament lies between the tooth and the bone and attaches to both with tiny fibers.
While this mechanism holds the teeth firmly in place, it also allows the teeth to move in response to changes in the mouth. As we age, for example, and the teeth wear, the ligament allows movement of the teeth to accommodate for the loss of tooth surface that might have been created by the wear.
When we employ braces we're changing the mouth environment by applying pressure to the teeth in a certain direction. The teeth move in response to this pressure. But when the pressure is no longer there after removing the braces or other orthodontic devices, the ligament mechanism may then respond with a kind of "muscle memory" to pull the teeth back to where they were before.
To prevent this, we need to help the teeth maintain their new position, at least until they've become firmly set. We do this with an oral appliance known as a retainer. Just as its name implies it helps the teeth "retain" their new position.
We require most patients to initially wear their retainer around the clock. After a while we can scale back to just a few hours a day, usually at nighttime. Younger patients may only need to wear a retainer for eighteen months or so. Adults, though, may need to wear one for much longer or in some cases permanently to maintain their new bite.
Although having to wear a retainer can be tedious at times, it's a crucial part of your orthodontic treatment. By wearing one you'll have a better chance of permanently keeping your new smile.
If you would like more information on caring for your teeth after braces, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers."
It's a big moment after months of wearing braces to finally get a glimpse of your new smile. The crooked teeth and poor bite are gone — and in their place are beautiful, straight teeth!
If you're not careful, though, your new look might not last. That's because the natural mechanism we used to straighten your teeth may try to return them to their previous poor positions.
Contrary to what many people think, teeth aren't rigidly set within the jaw bone. Instead, an elastic, fibrous tissue known as the periodontal ligament lies between the teeth and the bone and attaches to both with tiny fibers. Though quite secure, the attachment allows the teeth to move in very minute increments in response to growth or other changes in the mouth.
Orthodontic appliances like braces or clear aligners put pressure on the teeth in the direction we wish them to move. The bone dissolves on the side of the teeth where pressure is being applied or facing the direction of movement and then builds up on the other side where tension is occurring.
The ligament, though, has a kind of "muscle memory" for the teeth's original position. Unless it's prevented, this "memory" will pull the teeth back to where they used to be. All the time and effort involved with wearing braces will be lost.
That's why it's important for you to wear an appliance called a retainer after your braces have been removed. As the name implies, the appliance "retains" the teeth in their new position until it's more permanently set. For most people, this means wearing it for twenty-four hours in the beginning, then later only a few hours a day or while you sleep.
The majority of younger patients eventually won't need to wear a retainer once bone and facial growth has solidified their teeth's new position. Older adults, though, may need to wear one from now on. Even so, it's a relatively slight inconvenience to protect that beautiful, hard-won smile.

The first printed English signals book
By GREENWOOD, Jonathan, 1715
The Sailing and Fighting Instructions or Signals as they are Observed in the Royal Navy of Great Britain.
Author: GREENWOOD, Jonathan
Publication place: [?London
Publication date: 1714–1715].
Physical description: Duodecimo (149 by 77 mm), unpaginated, engraved title, 2pp. dedication, 70 engraved plates, 65 with original hand colour, manuscript calculation in ink to front free endpaper, dated in a contemporary hand March 4 to title page, contemporary sheep, blind stamped and tooled, spine in six compartments separated by raised bands, title piece to spine, title in ink.
A scarce naval signals book, the first to be printed in the English language.
The book was the enterprising production of Jonathan Greenwood. Greenwood was born about 1656 and apprenticed in June 1670 in the Stationers' Company, where he was made free in 1679. He presumably had naval connections, but no other works of his are known and no other record of him as a publisher survives (Mead).
The growth of the British navy led to a demand for a record of the signals used at sea. Commanders might have to manage "as many as a hundred ships in battle, many of which were still privateers": the vessels might not be trained in Navy discipline (Tritten).James II was the first to co-ordinate British flag signals while still Duke of York, and various manuscript works followed, in an inconvenient folio size.
Greenwood saw the opportunity for a small, cheaper book aimed at "Inferior Officers who cannot have recourse to the Printed Instructions"; although the instructions to the fleet were confidential, the signals were not (Perrin). Each signal is shown by an engraving of a ship displaying the flags of the appropriate signal, coloured where necessary, with an explanation underneath. In the dedication, he explains that he has "disposed matters in such a manner that any instruction may be found out in half a minute".
Although Greenwood's work was not an official publication, it was used by at least one Mediterranean fleet commander (Tritten).
The book is dedicated to the six Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, including Sir George Byng, whose son John, also an Admiral, was famously executed in 1757 "pour encourager les autres", according to Voltaire, after failing to relieve the British garrison during the Battle of Minorca.

Trump's visa restrictions aimed at Chinese STEM students to start in June
Taylor Hatmaker	@tayhatmaker / 1 year
In a policy change set for next month, the Trump administration is moving to shorten visas for Chinese students in fields like tech and engineering. While most visas are issued for the longest possible length of time under law, the new policy will allow U.S. officials to put a one-year cap on visas for Chinese graduate students who are "studying in fields like robotics, aviation and high-tech manufacturing," according to the Associated Press.
A State Department official told The Hill that "Although the large majority of visas issued to Chinese nationals are issued for the maximum validity, consular officers may limit the validity of visas on a case-by-case basis" under the new rules.
Beyond the student limits, U.S. consulates and embassies reportedly received instructions that any Chinese citizen applying for a visa will need to secure additional special permission form the U.S. if they work in research or management for any company the U.S. Commerce Department lists as an entity "requiring higher scrutiny."
Trump readying 'all of the above' fusillade on Chinese tech
The new visa policy shifts come as Trump is knee-deep in a controversial new tariff plan targeting Chinese trade and is intended to protect against the theft of U.S. intellectual property, or so the reasoning goes.
The visa change was signaled in the National Security Strategy report that the Trump administration issued in December. That document explains the rationale clearly:
The United States will review visa procedures to reduce economic theft by non-traditional intelligence collectors. We will consider restrictions on foreign STEM students from designated countries to ensure that intellectual property is not transferred to our competitors, while acknowledging the importance of recruiting the most advanced technical workforce to the United States.
The State Department noted these changes will go into effect starting on June 11.

From award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both....
A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all – beautiful apartment, a job she loved, and a family she adored.
A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn't have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball for a skinny dog she'd adopted from the local shelter.
"Sarah & Zoey" is the tale of these two women and the one remarkable dog who saved them both. It is a story of the power of friendship and unconditional love.
A brief excerpt from "Sarah & Zoey" -
"He flexed his fingers, waiting for her, anger and frustration mounting with every second. Just before she opened the door, she turned again and tossed the ball for the dog, laughing as she moved.
"Hearing that sound, Randall James thought he might explode."
"Sarah & Zoey" is now available exclusively on Amazon in both eBook and print formats. It is also available to read for "FREE" with KindleUnlimited.
PRAISE FOR 'SARAH & ZOEY"
"Three disparate lives - two human, one canine - whirl through a circle of circumstance that is poignant, involving, and especially moving to dog lovers who want a novella about crisis, escape, and recovery. Sarah and Zoey can be read in short segments, so it's perfect for busy fiction readers who want high drama packed into succinct chapters. The mechanics whereby loss and endangered lives heal are nicely portrayed in a winning story that emphasizes hope and offers an involving tale dog lovers will relish." ~D. Donovan, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
"Every character is beautifully drawn, the contrasting lives and settings are vivid and so very different, the pace is fast, and the end utterly unpredictable. Sarah & Zoey is a powerful, heart-tugging story that must be read at one sitting; it's too enthralling to put down. I loved this five-star novella, and I'll be looking for more by Linda Watkins" ~Sarah Stuart for READERS FAVORITE
"A heart-warming novella with a feel-good factor that readers of this genre will enjoy immensely." ~Jane Finch for READERS FAVORITE
"I loved this book! Even though the opening scenes were full of portent and dread (reading along, knowing something terrible was going to happen but no way to stop it) we learn of a woman who loses her husband and son to a freak accident; and another woman, a battered wife who is almost killed by her abusive spouse but is saved by her loyal dog, and then find that the dog is dragged almost to death by that husband… Where do you go from there? This awesome weaving of two injured women tied together by a remarkable dog is a story you won't soon forget. I only wish it were longer, and I'm begging for a sequel!" ~Sherrill S. Cannon, Award-winning Author of "The Golden Rule."

New children's hospital, Dublin
Engineering the largest healthcare project in Ireland
New children's hospital
Talk about this project
Jack Quinn Associate Director
[email protected] +353 1 233 4455 Dublin, local time - 4:59 AM
National Paediatric Hospital Development Board
Mechanical engineering Electrical engineering Public health engineering Transport consulting Digital Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Lighting design
The most significant capital investment in healthcare in Ireland to date, the new children's hospital (nch) will be a world-class paediatric health facility. Combining the services currently provided at three children's hospitals into a modern, custom-designed, digitally-enabled hospital, nch will deliver the best care and treatments for Ireland's sickest children and young people.
The nch project comprises the main hospital on the shared campus at St. James's Hospital in South Central Dublin and two paediatric outpatient and urgent care centres CHI at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown and CHI at Tallaght. As well as playing a central role in the provision of acute paediatric healthcare services, the nch will be the primary centre for paediatric education, training and research in Ireland.
Arup's mechanical and electrical engineers, alongside our transport advisors and digital specialists, are working with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland to create a child-centred facility that will enable innovation and excellence in paediatric healthcare, as well as creating an environment that is supportive of children, young people, their families and the hospital's staff.
This 160,000m2 facility will feature over 6,000 rooms spread across seven storeys above basement, 380 individual in-patient rooms, each with an en-suite and bed for parent to sleep near their child, 60 critical care beds, 93 day beds and 22 operating theatres. It will also feature four acres of outdoor space with 14 gardens and courtyards, a helipad and 1,000 underground parking spaces.
During 2021, we worked closely with Jones Engineering and the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) to produce a virtual technical tour of the nch. The video provided an innovative way to give young engineers insights into the design and construction of the hospital while site walk-throughs were not possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
160,000m² hospital
380individual in-patient rooms
60critical care beds
It is a privilege to be part of the team delivering this hospital for the children of Ireland. As well as ensuring that the building services support the delivery of clinical excellence, our multidisciplinary team are optimising the design to enable the hospital to be built and run sustainably. " Jack Quinn Associate Director
Energy-efficient hospital design
Setting high energy efficiency targets, the hospital has secured a BREEAM Excellent design stage certification – a sustainability rating which assesses the environmental performance of the building's design.
The nch is also designed to meet the national Building Energy Rating A3 standard, requiring a 50% improvement in primary energy consumption above benchmark. We used our thermal modelling expertise to advise on the design of the building envelope, key to improving energy efficiency.
Our mechanical engineers also specified high-efficiency heating, cooling and ventilation equipment, incorporating heat recovery where possible. Natural ventilation is used in non-critical areas, maximising the health benefits of breathing fresh air, while also reducing energy consumption.
Designing a building of this magnitude required careful consideration and a focus on resource efficiency. Arup worked closely with contractors to minimise the materials required, with offsite prefabrication helping to reduce waste while enhancing quality control.
Digitally-enabled healthcare
Being the first digital public hospital in Ireland required a significant investment in ICT data infrastructure. With healthcare innovation evolving at a rapid rate, future-proofing the hospital is key to facilitating optimal delivery of current and developing clinical best practice.
Arup's digital specialists undertook workshops with clinical, corporate, patient, IT and facilities management teams to understand their needs and define the building and operations systems' relationships within a digital architecture. The supporting infrastructure is designed to enable the delivery of healthcare into the future with an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, supported by a clinical command centre.

Designing in a live hospital environment
Our engineers ensured that the current hospital could function as normal throughout design and construction of the new facility. Ahead of construction, an underground utilities tunnel was diverted to clear the site for the new building. Our mechanical and electrical engineers worked closely with the design team, contractors and St. James's Hospital Technical Services Department to divert these live critical systems, completing the work safely with no disruptions.
Safeguarding accessibility to the existing hospital was essential in achieving planning permission for the new development. Our transport advisors prepared a transportation strategy and mobility management plan promoting access to the St. James's Hospital campus by sustainable and active travel modes to meet the mobility needs of patients, their families and staff.
Our transport advisors and digital specialists also recommended the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for the first time in an Irish hospital to manage the movement of goods and waste. Moving trolleys and cages around hospitals causes significant wear and tear, so the introduction of automated solutions will reduce impacts on the building, while improving service and efficiency.
Child-friendly spaces: custom designs prioritise patient comfort
To create a low stress home-from-home feeling for children and their families, the design solutions seek to promote healing and alter the children's perceptions of what a hospital should be like. Gardens and play areas are vital to support patients during their time in hospital.
Our lighting designers incorporated LED lighting throughout the hospital to improve the building's energy efficiency. Natural light is maximised in patient bedrooms, which has proven therapeutic benefits. Specialised lighting fixtures will be installed in play areas to create an immersive escape for patients and families, giving them a much-needed distraction from the surrounding medical environment.

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974)
Posted by: Margaret Rouse
WhatIs.com
What is FERPA?
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) is federal legislation in the United States that protects the privacy of students' personally identifiable information (PII). The act applies to all educational institutions that receive federal funds.
FERPA states that parents of students under 18, or eligible students (students over 18, or those who have matriculated to an educational institution above high school) be allowed to view and propose amendments to their educational records. The act also mandates that schools must obtain written permission from parents or eligible students in order to release a student's PII.
There are a few exceptions regarding who may receive records without written permission. Exceptions include:
Legitimate requests from school officials.
Requests from schools to which a student is transferring.
Cases of 'directory information,' defined as "information contained in an education record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed," such as name, address, telephone number and date of birth.
In the case of directory information, the parents or eligible students must be notified of the proposed release of said information and given time to request their information not be disclosed. Social Security numbers and student identification numbers are not included in the category of 'directory information' and may never be released without written permission.
Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA.

Gabrielle Maud Vassal (née Candler 5 March 1880 – 31 May 1959) was a British-born naturalist.

Background
Born in Uppingham in Rutland, England. In 1901 the family moved to Hampstead in London, where she married Joseph Marguerite Jean-Baptiste Vassal, a physician in the French Colonial Service, in 1903. The newlywed couple then moved to Vietnam in 1904 and later went to French colonies in Africa.

Vassal was a keen naturalist and supplied numerous specimens from Vietnam, Gabon and Congo to the Natural History Museum in London for a period of 30 years. She was considered an unusual collector, first because she was female, and second because she was "operating in French territory and sending specimens to a British museum." Many of her letters to the museum are still preserved in their archives. Her specimens included several newly-discovered species, and a number were named after her, including the yellow-cheeked crested gibbon Nomascus gabriellae.

After the outbreak of World War II, the Vassals returned to France and Gabrielle joined the French Resistance. She helped downed airmen escape and earned recognition by governments in both Britain and the United States.

Vassal became known as a successful photographer, author and public speaker.

A portrait of Vassal was taken in 1928 and originally owned by Pinewood Studios, then donated to Victoria and Albert Museum in 1989, and is now held in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Selected works
Vassal authored several books, including a novel titled A Romance of the Western Front published in 1918, On & Off Duty in Annam, In and round Yunnan Fou about her time in Vietnam, Life In French Congo in 1925 and Three Years In Vietnam 1907-1910: Medicine, Chams And Tribesmen In Nhatrang And Surroundings in 1910.

Vattnäs är en bebyggelse i Mora kommun. Orten ligger mellan Mora och Orsa, vid Orsasjöns strand och Inlandsbanan. Bebyggelsen klassades intill 2018 som en egen tätort för att från 2018 räknas som en del av tätorten Orsa.

Historia
Vattnäs (1551 omtalat som 'Wetenääs') omfattade i början av 1900-talet 44 gårdar. Om än byn inte har så gamla anor har flera fornfynd gjorts på platsen. 1851 påträffades två holkyxor och en halskrage i brons och 1916 respektive 1910 påträffades två stenyxor i byns åker.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a home, including making sure your investment is properly insured. Home insurance can seem almost as daunting as the mortgage process. While in both cases there can be an overwhelming amount of information to be included and reviewed, know that the professionals are here to help and make it as simple as possible for you.
The year any updates were completed.
This information is crucial to get an accurate home insurance quote. The more you're able to tell your broker about your home, the smoother the process will be.
If you have any particular concerns about coverage for your belongings, be sure to let your broker know. Some higher value items such as jewellery, computers, personal electronics, bicycles and other items may have set limits under a home insurance policy; if you own these types of items, it's important to review the value with your broker and discuss adding more coverage. Be sure to ask your broker about any special limits – and of course deductibles – that may be part of your policy.
Never be afraid to ask questions. There are no silly questions! Our Victoria, BC home insurance team appreciates any and all questions you may have. We want to make sure that you understand and are comfortable with your coverage.

Grey's Anatomy Season 7, Episode 12: Taking the Leap of Faith
· April 15, 2019
BY JENNY CHIEM | BLOGGER | SQ ONLINE (2018-19)
Being in such a competitive environment as a student at UC San Diego, it's easy to doubt oneself. I always find myself debating over whether I have the right answers or am making the right decisions. But what better way to hype myself up than a good ol' episode of Grey's Anatomy that will motivate me to put my best foot forward stepping into this quarter— specifically Season 7 Episode 12: "Start Me Up."
In this episode, we follow up with Henry, a patient who Dr. Teddy Altman married to ensure his surgery would be covered by her insurance. Dr. Webber is appalled by Teddy's decision, accusing her of insurance fraud; however, Lexie is quick to confirm that the National Medical Anti-Fraud Association says otherwise. Upon my further research, the American Medical Association states that "a physician must terminate the patient-physician relationship before initiating a dating, romantic, or sexual relationship with a patient." Teddy is no longer Henry's surgeon and has passed on the case to Dr. Webber, yet their marriage may still be deemed unethical because Teddy could possibly interfere with the case with her knowledge as his previous physician. However, we can always count on Lexie to be a ray of sunshine as she supports Teddy's courage to marry Henry, knowing that Teddy would never intend on inflicting harm.
PLEASE STOP READING THIS CAPTION IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS: What started off as getting Henry health insurance turned into a loving, but complicated relationship because God knows Shonda can't let anyone be completely happy on this show. Also, [REALLY BIG SPOILER] Henry ends up dying and that's just really sad. But it's a part of the Grey's Anatomy experience, and I'm still here for it. Honestly, please contact me because I can go on and on about this situation omg. (Source)
The residents of Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital— formerly known as just Seattle Grace before the two hospitals merged— are paired up with first- year medical students who are eager to see the everyday life of a surgeon. After all, shadowing is one of the many ways that help people figure out what they want to do in the future. Especially for us hopeful undergrads looking to enter the medical field, shadowing medical professionals presents a great opportunity to see the realities of the field and to help us decide what career path we truly wish to pursue.
We follow the surgeons and medical students during rounds, visiting fifteen-year-old Sarah Cassidy. Sarah wants to try out for the volleyball team at school, but has spent her entire life avoiding sports and sticking to books due to having Treacher Collins Syndrome.
Treacher Collins syndrome is a condition that affects the development of bones and other tissues of the face. Signs and symptoms of this disorder can vary greatly in severity, however some common features include down-slanting eyes, notched lower eyelids, underdevelopment or absence of cheekbones and the side wall and floor of the eye socket, and a small, slanting lower jaw.
Sarah's cheekbones never developed, leaving her orbital floor unprotected. (Source)
Treacher Collins syndrome is caused by mutations in the TCOF1, POLR1C, or POLR1D genes, which all play a significant role in the early development of bones and other tissues of the face. The genes produce proteins involved in the production of rRNA. A decrease in rRNA production due to the mutations can possibly lead to apoptosis— or self- destruction— of certain cells that are involved in facial structure development, according to researchers.
Dr. Mark Sloan suggests a highly experimental procedure to inject a donor bone with stem cells to build new cheekbones for Sarah. Dr. Arizona Robbins is hesitant, as she believes using Sarah's skull bone would be a safer option; however, she eventually agrees after seeing the pros to using cadaver bone and Sarah's desire to live life like a normal teenager. In real life, craniofacial reconstruction is also performed to treat the disorder.

Another patient being treated is Brady, who suffers from multiple injuries after being run over by a horse-drawn carriage the morning he and Kyle were going to sign domestic partnership papers. As a complication arises right before the doctors begin operating on Brady, one of Jackson's medical students points out that Brady has hyperkalemia.
Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte disorder in which potassium levels in the blood are too high. This may cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, or paralysis. Hyperkalemia can be diagnosed through blood tests or electrocardiograms.
A normal ECG reading of electrical activity across the heart. (Source)
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of electrical activity in the heart. The P wave indicates atrial contraction. The PR interval represents the time between the P wave and QRS complex. Atrial relaxation follows the P wave, but is masked by the QRS complex which represents ventricular contraction. The ST segment is the time between the end of the QRS complex and the T wave. The T wave represents ventricular relaxation.
Hyperkalemia is indicated by a potassium level of over 5.0-5.5 mEq/L. The medical student tells Jackson that Brady saw peaked T waves and then a widened QRS and a sine wave rhythm on the ECG, indicating increased severity of hyperkalemia. (Source)
Owens immediately orders medication to lower Brady's potassium levels in his blood. The medical student, Edward, shares that they learned about hyperkalemia in medical school just days before, and Owen commends Edward for his diagnosis. I find this moment rather inspiring as Edward takes the leap of faith to put his knowledge to the test, clearly showing how his hard work has paid off. As for Brady— he survives the surgery, but will have a slow and painful recovery.
This quarter, I encourage all of you to be daring like Sarah and Edward during times of uncertainty. It really doesn't hurt to have some confidence in yourself. While I learn how to take my own advice, go out there and take some risks— you'll never know what great things will come out of doing so.

Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announced this evening that the Attorney General's Office has opened a criminal investigation into the conduct of Ian Kibbe and Mark Burch of the Claremont Police Department.
This investigation was initiated based on information received on March 15, 2018, from Claremont Police Chief Mark Chase, said the AG's office. The focus of the investigation concerns "allegations that while acting in their capacity as police officers, Kibbe and Burch falsified documentation related to a search that occurred in late February, 2018", said MacDonald in a press release.
"Because this is an ongoing criminal investigation, no further information will be provided at this time," said the AG's office. "Additional information will be provided when possible, consistent with our obligation to ensure the integrity of the investigation. All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty of a charged offense," MacDonald reminded the public.
Chase told the e-Ticker News that Kibbe and Burch "are no longer employees of the Claremont Police Department. Their status changed in the last week." Chase was unable to comment further, due to restrictions on discussing personnel matters.

Q: C# PartitionedRateLimiter always returns full bucket I'm trying to understand dotnet 7 RateLimiting API, but with no success.
I want to use a PartitionedRateLimiter, so I tried to follow: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-rate-limiting-for-dotnet/.  There are difference between the documentation and the article, so I tried to adapt.
First, here is my ClientSideRateLimitedHandler:
internal sealed class ClientSideRateLimitedHandler : DelegatingHandler // , IAsyncDisposable
{
    private readonly PartitionedRateLimiter<string>? _rateLimiter;

    public ClientSideRateLimitedHandler(PartitionedRateLimiter<string>? rateLimiter) : base(new HttpClientHandler()) =>
    _rateLimiter = rateLimiter;

    protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
        HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        if (_rateLimiter == null)
        {
            return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
        }

        using RateLimitLease lease = await
           _rateLimiter.AcquireAsync(request.RequestUri.ToString(), permitCount: 1, cancellationToken);

        Console.Write($"{DateTime.Now.Second}-{request.RequestUri.ToString()} ");
        if (lease.IsAcquired)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"* {_rateLimiter.GetStatistics("bookfast")!.CurrentAvailablePermits}");
            return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
        }

        Console.WriteLine($"X {_rateLimiter.GetStatistics("bookfast")!.CurrentAvailablePermits}");
        var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.TooManyRequests);
        if (lease.TryGetMetadata(MetadataName.RetryAfter, out TimeSpan retryAfter))
        {
            response.Headers.Add(
               "Retry-After",
                ((int)retryAfter.TotalSeconds).ToString(
                    NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo));
        }

        return response;
    }
 }

And here is the method that creates the PartitionedRateLimiter required by the Handler:
public void SetRateLimits(MarketDataRequest mktRequest, string baseRESTUrl, out PartitionedRateLimiter<string> limiter)
{
    limiter = PartitionedRateLimiter.Create<string, string>(resource =>
    {
        var rateLimiter = RateLimitPartition.GetTokenBucketLimiter("bookfast", key => BookFastOptions);
        return rateLimiter;
    });
}

I'm aware that the idea of the PartionedRateLimiter would be to select the partition based on the resource (and I did try it), but here is an even simpler code that should (if I understant things correctly) return always the same Bucket and not create a new one on every call.
BucketOptions are:
private TokenBucketRateLimiterOptions BookFastOptions = new TokenBucketRateLimiterOptions()
{
    TokenLimit = 7,
    QueueProcessingOrder = QueueProcessingOrder.OldestFirst,
    QueueLimit = 0,
    ReplenishmentPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3),
    TokensPerPeriod = 7,
    AutoReplenishment = false
};

When I call my HttpClient, with the ClientHandler, if a look at
_rateLimiter.GetStatistics("bookfast").CurrentAvailablePermits
It is always 6.  Somehow It seems that I'm getting a new bucket at every call.  My code uses a lot of async/await and the HttpClient is called from different tasks and possibly different threads, but does this make any difference?
I've tried putting the RateLimitPartition in a dictionary to make sure that the method GetTokenBuckerLimiter is called just once, but I get the same result.
What I am doing wrong?
