Inoue stops Rodriguez in 3, now looks to crack America!
When it comes to Japanese fighters at the moment there is no one who has excited the boxing world quite like WBO Super Flyweight champion Naoya Inoue (13-0, 11) [井上 尚弥],who was in action earlier today, and successfully recorded his 5th defenses of his world title. And he did so whilst hardly breaking sweat against the #2 ranked WBO challenger, American based Mexican Ricardo Rodriguez (16-4, 5), who had never previously been stopped.
The bout started with both men looking to control the range, but it was Inoeu's razor sharp jab and incredible footwork that controlled the round. The Mexican had his moments, but they were few and far between whilst Inoue's jab looked a consistent threat and he landed a wonderfully flurry late in the round, as well as an incredible left hand, that seemed to make Rodriguez realise that he was in there with an incredible talent.
The second round saw Rodriguez become more adventurous but again it was Inoue's footwork and jab that controlled the action, with Rodriguez falling short with a number of shots, and hitting the guard on the few times he was close enough to connect. The Mexican was showing his fighting spirit but had no answer to Inoue, who landed a huge straight late in the round and a brutal body shot as he began to move through the gears.
Rodriguez knew the task was getting harder and harder with Inoue starting to look increasingly more offensive. That offense was too much in round 3 with a left hook dropping the challenger. Rodriguez, to his credit, got to his feet, but it was the start of the end and another left hook dropped him for the counter, giving Inoue his 5th defense of the title.
With the win under his belt Inoue is now set to make his US debut, with a September date pencilled in, with HBO likely to televise the bout. That will see Inoue build on his reputation as one of the best fighters in the sport. For Rodriguez the loss will damage his career, and it's unlikely he will be getting another title fight any time soon.

Средно училище "Петко Рачев Славейков" е средно училище в Трявна. Наследник на създаденото през 1839 г. светско взаимно училище.

Създаване
На 15 януари 1835 г. тогавашният търновски митрополит Иларион Критски записва първите страници на училищната кондика "Свети кодекс на Тревненското светско училище", в който се записват дадените пари. Това се приема за разрешение за изграждането на училището.

Строителството на първата училищна сграда започва през 1836 г. от цялото население на Трявна и околните колиби със свои средства. През лятото на същата година Петър Сапунов, изпълнител на завещанието на тревненския търговец в Букурещ, Никола Стоянов, дарил около 31 хиляди гроша, изпраща плана на училищната сграда.

През пролетта на 1837 г. с подписка се събират още пари. Петър Сапунов пристига в Трявна през есента и отвежда със себе си няколко тревненски юноши в Букурещ да учат за учители. Поради недостиг на средства строежът продължава повече от три години. Незавършено напълно, през 1839 г. училището приема първите си ученици. На горния етаж е завършена само една стая, където се водят учебните занятия. Другите стаи са завършвани в различно време. Те са с по-малки размери и предназначени за учителска стая, стая на училищното настоятелство, стая за пансион на ученици, идващи от селата, за столова, за читалня-книгохранителница за възрастни, за прислугата и т.н.

Сградата е голяма за времето си, стабилна и архитектурно издържана в национален стил постройка, двуетажна, строена от камък и дърво. Огражда я двор от всички страни. От съображения за получаване на приходи на долния етаж, на юг и запад, са изградени 13 малки стаи за наематели – терзии, чехлари, тенекеджии, халваджии и др. Тази традиция е запазена и днес, когато постройката е превърната в музей, един от обектите на Специализирания музей за резбарско и зографско изкуство – "Старото школо".

university. Long ago, we taught introductory courses in languages like BASIC and Pascal that were designed for educating novices. Each of those was so successful that they were scaled up to professional languages that were used for important systems (e.g., Object Pascal for the original Macintosh operating system). Unfortunately (in my opinion), the pull of industry compatibility overcame those benefits and many introductory courses moved from Pascal to C in the mid- 80'sand then to C++, trading simple, relatively clear syntax and semantics for languages designed for low-level systems programming. The educational language Blue [ 6] was introduced in the mid- 90's but was swept away by the enthusiasm for the new language Java, which was certainly simpler than C++, but, as an industrial language, had its own com-plexities—which have gotten worse as the language has evolved. While the language Blue was abandoned, the related BlueJ [ 7] programming environment for Java has been quite successful as a tool for novices.
In pre-college education, visual (typically blocks-based) languages have been widely adopted for younger children and seem to engender great enthusiasm among those learning to program. Typical examples of such languages are Alice and Scratch. The entertaining scenarios and the ability to program without having typing skills combines to help make this a big success, especially for younger children. Moreover, the shapes of the program components make it nearly impossible to make syntactic mistakes. However, few colleges and universities use visual languages for more than a few weeks before moving on to industrial-strength languages.
There are still some colleges and universities that start students out programming in a complex language like C++ using only a text editor (e.g., emacs or vim) and the command line.
67%, with an average pass rate of 80% for small classes compared to 65% for large classes. However, there were wild variations between institutions— including at least one large university with a failure rate of 72%. While we do not have comparable data for introductory courses in other disciplines, it seems that the failure rate in introductory courses in CS is higher than most other disciplines.
How can we increase the success rate in computer science courses? Small classes seem to make a significant difference, but in the current over-enrollment crisis, that may not be obtainable without blocking many students from CS courses. Modern teaching techniques like peer instruction will not overcome all the problems with large courses but can allow classes to increase from 100 to 400 or more with little additional degradation of quality [ 5].
My own approach to increase success rates in introductory courses has been to increase student interest by making it possible for them to write more interesting programs without being overwhelmed by inessential complexity of tools. For example, early on my colleagues and I found the value of programs in the introductory course that used graphics and animation. When we shifted our introductory course to Java, we found that the standard Java graphics were too complex for novices, so we (along with many other groups) developed a custom graphics library for our classes. This library was designed to cut the programming overhead for students, and, with the visual feedback, was very effective in helping students find errors in their code. We later found out that faculty teaching undergraduate courses nearly uniformly resisted using non-standard Java classes (e.g., for graphics), and even resisted an officially ACM SIGCSE-en-dorsed Java library [ 11], regardless of whether it helped students learn to program more effectively.
I've always been firmly of the opinion that our goal as instructors is to figure out what we want to teach our students and to find the most effective way to help them learn it. Sometimes that will be using industry standard methods and tools (languages, ide's, debuggers, etc.), but more often tools developed for professionals who are already expert are not the right tools for novices.


The 2nd Singapore Bike Show X Bikezilla Mass Ride on 1st July 2017 was a party at the trails! It was a gathering of old friends and new friends, coming together to do what we love most - mountain biking. And in good ol' Bikezilla tradition, this installment came with some added fun that made the morning different from just another weekend ride with regular friends.
Much planning went into every mass ride. But all would come to naught should the weather turns unfavorable. And it was with bated breath when we saw the online weather forecast that the morning of our mass ride would be stormy. With that in mind, we beefed up our contingency plans, hoping for the best while expecting the worst. Our prayers were heard. The morning's ride was blessed with a good sunny sky!
Some highlights of the ride in the video below.
We had some crazy fun during our previous mass ride (The Singapore Bike Show X Bikezilla Mass Ride Round 1) with our mini games segment. Everyone was given a chance to put their bike handling skills to good use to grab some prizes. This time, the focus moved on to another skill area - trail technical competency and speed. With that in mind, our ride route was catered for more seasoned riders, starting with a loop around Bukit Timah MTB Trail and wrapping the event with a STRAVA Time Trial at Chestnut South MTB Trail. The longer ride route, time trial and good weather all contributed to a good turnout.
This is the first time we've ever integrated a STRAVA Time Trial in a Bikezilla Mass Ride, and we loved the outcome. A simple time trial where everyone rides a loop in his/her best effort. There was a common understanding on a few things: that the trail was not closed for our exclusive usage, to observe trail etiquette just like any regular rides, yet come together to ride a same trail segment and have a friendly time trial that would be tabulated in STRAVA's leader board for the day.
This affordable yet fun way to get people together achieved what we hoped for - spicing up this gathering with a bit more excitement . And to sweeten the whole deal, we had our sponsors: The Singapore Bike Show, Bike Continent, Tiong Hin, Bike31 and NSR Bikes, coming in with prizes and freebies for the riders.
The mood of the event was just great! Big thanks, once again, to our sponsors!
ASIDE: ANY CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY PROJECTS OUT THERE?
We want to help show the world just how fun cycling (mountain biking) is. And that cycling goes beyond just "fun"; it could be an integral part of our lifestyle where it is a part of our family life, social life and daily routine.
We also wish to make it as easy as possible for young riders getting into the sport. While we cannot give every kid a bike (you got to put in your own effort and work toward what you want ...), we can give them some social support, motivation and relevant information that set them off on the right footings.
Cycling should be an affordable sport. And so should cycling events. But the cost has to come from somewhere. And that's where the sponsors and Bikezilla comes in. Bikezilla would provide a range of services to our sponsors for the support they give to our events and projects. These goodwill from the sponsors are then passed on to the riders as much a we can.
We strive to make every mass ride free-of-charge or as cheap as possible to all riders.
For the sponsors, their participation in our cause would also help their business in terms of publicity and promotional works.
What about the sustainability of Bikezilla as a business? A rider asked us whether we are a non-profit organization. We are not. (LOL) Bikezilla is an online bike media for Asian cyclists. We work very much the same way as all other online media. As much as we do not want to sound cliché, we are indeed a "By Riders, For Riders" organization. We work on a sustainable business structure that covers our working cost, with a large portion of our effort from a team of passionate and capable volunteer riders.
With this said, we hope that sponsors/advertisers who have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts/projects funds consider collaborating with us. You know we can be reaaaaalllly creative!
Here's to more riding for everyone! Ride.
Note: STRAVA Time Trial is NOT a race. It is a casual game conducted during Bikezilla Mass Ride with no race permit, official time keeping system nor closure to any trail or road. Proper trail etiquette were observed at all times.

I am always on here answering questions and sending messages of condolence to those who have lost dear feathered friends.
I have been on here a few times asking for advice with one of my Budgies Lightning.
Avian vets were at a loss, and said they had exhausted all possible avenues with Lightning and prescribed pain medication as she was in a lot of constant pain.
Yesterday evening I made the hardest decision of my life and made an appointment with the vets today.
The vets was not open until 10am, but the phone lines opened at 9am.
I explained my reason for the appointment and they told me to go straight down before opening time and ring the buzzer. They also waived a £60 extra fee charged on Sundays.
I left with my Mother and we were left alone in the empty waiting room whilst the vet and a nurse took Lightning away downstairs.
You see, Lightning was not receiving any further treatment. She was being euthanized.
I broke down when the vet took her away and again just outside the hospital when I was given her body back wrapped in a small towel and placed back in the carrier.
She has been buried outside in my garden and her companion has no idea where she has gone and is calling for her.
I am fighting back tears, but thought I should thank everyone for their help, especially Tracie, Linda, Sandra Singh and Dr B, and update you on her situation.
Thank you so much. I need to stay strong for Sky but have broken down 3 times since.
This was the hardest decision and one I never want to make again and miss her greatly and am emotionally drained and it is only 1:08pm here.
My Dad has offered me one of the budgies he took on for free after being dropped off by a neighbor of their owner who had dementia at the pet store as she could not care for them any longer.
The pet store owner did not want them and my Dad took the two birds home. They are both green and he will keep one male and he will give me the other male.
He will be brought round when I and Sky are ready.
Thank you again for all your support and I hope everyone's birds are doing well and you don't go through the tough decision and pain I am going through right now.
The new bird has been named Sunny and Sky is besotted with him.
When he was in a separate cage Sky would hang off the side and preen the side of his face and the top of his head.
Since they were put together, they have been inseparable and Sky continues to preen him multiple times every day.
Sky is female by the way.
My Dad has just dropped off the new budgie. I am not sure what to name him though.
He has a green chest and back with yellow wings with every feather edged with green.
I am guessing he must have closer genes to his wild counterparts.
Thanks Linda, the avian vet finally called me back and suggested the same thing about getting a new bird ASAP.
I phoned my Dad and he is bringing him round today.
I strongly advise you to get the other bird right away. Sometimes, the parrots stop eating and will die from grieving the loss of their loved one. Please do not delay taking both birds to avian vet's because the one who has been neglected is likely to bring an infection into your other bird.
Please do not wait to get the other bird and take care of the Avian vet checking them out after new bird is in your home.
I also send you my heartfelt sympathies because even when our pets are in a great deal of pain, it does not make losing them any easier.
Let us know how the new bird does. I also suggest you keep him in his own cage for a while. It will be enough that he is there so the two birds can "talk" and learn about each other. Keep the cages next to or close to each other, and I think your grieving bird will begin to eat again. I've dealt with this with several birds, and if a new friend is not brought in right away, they will simply starve themselves to death. It happens, and you don't want it happening here.
Thanks Tracie. I am waiting for a call back from an avian vet as my remaining budgie has stopped eating ever since, and stays in the same place all day.
Oh Alex, I feel for you! You did everything you could, God bless you. ((hugs)) When the tears come, focus on the good memories and remember that Lightning is no longer suffering.

Jet Injectors = Jet Infectors
Military Jet Injections
Mass Jet Gun Immunizations
Babies and Breadwinners: 1961 Mass Polio Vaccination Campaign
Posted on April 4, 2017 December 30, 2019 by jetinfectors
Paralytic poliomyelitis, most commonly referred to as polio, once immobilized a nation in fear as the disease paralyzed children with no known cause. In the early 1950s, there were roughly 20,000 cases of polio diagnosed per year. In 1952, at the height of the epidemic, the disease took more than 3,000 lives (Sokol, 1997). Thankfully within the same year, Jonas Salk created an effective vaccine. In 1955, after almost three years of testing, the Salk polio vaccine was announced to the world. Salk's vaccine was a medical relief to the nerves of many.
Babies and Breadwinners was a government film documenting the mass Polio Vaccination Campaign of 1961. "This title referred, of course, to those two poorly immunized groups, the children five years and under and the young adults," wrote Dr. Maynard Mires in the Delaware Medical Journal (Mires, 1961).
The film, produced by the Communicable Disease Center (more presently known as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention), was to be informative and encouraging in the implementation of mass vaccination campaigns across the nation.
Set in the city of Columbus, Georgia, the film documented the first of three phases of a vaccination campaign. Thirty-eight locations were set-up across the city over eight days. Vaccinations were free. People walked up, were vaccinated with the Hypospray Multidose Jet Injector, and then continued on their merry way. "A simple injection means polio protection."
In this photo, taken the day of the event, a physician inspects the Hypospray Multidose Jet Injector.
(Global Health Chronicles)
The film also documented the lack of sterilization between jet gun inoculations. In the photo above, taken from the event in downtown Columbus, the vaccinator held the Hypospray Jet Injector in one hand and appropriately held the patient's arm with his other hand. The jet injector was attached to a motor enclosed in a carrying-case on the table. Also placed upon the table, near the center, is a vaccine vial and a red protective cap to cover the jet injector nozzle when not in use. Upon the far right side of the table is a microphone belonging to the cameraman in the black suit. There appears to be a material object on the bench below the table, although this object remains unclear. As the video demonstrates, a nurse standing to the right side wipes the patient's arm with cotton dipped in acetone. The jet injector, however, was used consecutively person after person. The nozzle was never wiped in between vaccinations.
Video footage also captured vaccinators reaching toward the nozzle following injections. A snapshot of the video, above, demonstrates this action. A 1966 self-instructional lesson by the CDC, titled "Jet Injector Operation, Model K3," pictured below, informs vaccinators how to use the Hypospray Multidose Jet Injector and explains this behavior. Before administering an injection the vaccinator must turn the cocking lever from the "Fill" position to the "Injection" position. Then immediately following the injection, the cocking lever must be turned-back to the "Fill" position to allow the vaccine vial to fill the drug reservoir with the next dosage.
The video footage also captured a disregard for protocol. The CDC's operating instructions stated, "Squeeze trigger for full THREE SECONDS (count: 'One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three')." Yet the film repeatedly documented vaccinators holding the jet injector for only one second, as shown in the clip below. Also note the nozzle was never wiped or cleansed in between injections.
In two instances the video captured the wiping of the injection site immediately following the jet injection. The incidents were unique as the video demonstrates the majority of the vaccinees did not have their arm wiped. In the following clip, a nurse cleansed a girl's arm with cotton dipped in acetone whereupon a vaccinator administered an injection. Afterwards the nurse immediately wiped the girl's arm, in a downward motion, with the same cotton. (You may need to watch twice to capture the motion). The girl then clutched her arm as her mother carried her away. The nurse discarded the dirty cotton which accidentally landed on the table. Then the next child stepped forward to receive a vaccination. The jet injector nozzle was never wiped or cleansed.
In another clip, a boy, appearing in the foreground, had just received a vaccination. Holding a piece of cotton within his left hand he wiped the injection site on the deltoid area of his right arm.
So why was the post-injection wiping important?
If the jet gun was held firmly against the vaccinee's skin, and immediately following the injection there was a need to wipe the injection site of the vaccinee, then whatever was on the vaccinee's arm was also on the nozzle of the jet injector. Despite the fact that we do not know what was being wiped, whether the substance was blood, splash-back of vaccine after penetrating the outer layer of skin or a combination thereof, this footage demonstrates at that time the jet injector was contaminated and no longer sterile.
In our series, Faulty Design Created Inherent Risks, Mitragotri (2006) demonstrates through microcinematography the nozzle becomes contaminated through a phenomenon known as splash-back.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY — State Police have released details of a deadly crash that occurred Sunday night in Monroe Township, Cumberland County.
One person was killed in the accident, which occurred at about 7:22 p.m. at the intersection of Leidigh Drive and and Gutshall Road, police say.
The deceased victim was identified as Marla Quattrone, 52, of Carlisle.
Police say the accident occurred when a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, which was driven by Larry J. Baish, 78, of Boiling Springs, attempted to make a left turn at the intersection and was struck by a 1977 Jeep driven by William C. McCoy, 56, of Mt. Holly Springs.
Quattrone suffered traumatic fatal injuries as a result of the crash, police say.
McCoy was suspected of DUI at the time of the crash, according to police.


"Bulletproof coffee" is quite the buzzword these days. It does not actually make you bulletproof, but evangelists of the beverage claim that you feel so good after drinking the stuff that you think you are. Bulletproof coffee is essentially coffee combined with butter or coconut oil, but the real deal goes a little deeper than that.
The history of bulletproof coffee starts with bio-hacker and entrepreneur Dave Asprey. It seems that on a hiking trip in Tibet, Dave discovered yak butter tea and decided that coffee tasted much better when blended with yak butter. So he brought the mix to the states with a few twists and tweaks.
While many claim that their grandmothers used a dollop of butter in their coffee in place of cream or milk, bulletproof coffee does not rely on any old bag of beans and butter. The coffee used to brew the drink must be low-mold, and the butter should be grass-fed. Grass-fed butter is reportedly higher in nutrients – including Omega 3s and vitamins – than its bargain counterparts and contains easily digestible fats.
The theory of adding butter and oil to coffee is that the combination provides benefits that are not found in your typical cup of joe. By replacing a typical breakfast with a cup of bulletproof coffee, you can promote weight loss, suppress appetite, and improve mental clarity.
Butter is low in lactose so it is usually safe for people who are lactose intolerant to enjoy a cup of bulletproof coffee. For those on a vegan diet, it is usually recommended to replace the butter with a dairy-free fat, like coconut cream or oil. Some people say that because bulletproof coffee lacks carbs, which are brain food, it probably is not a magic bullet. It is also high in saturated fat, which is another concern for health experts and dietitians.
Even health experts who recommend bulletproof coffee to their clients caution that it lacks a lot of nutrients, so it is important that you eat other meals and take nutritional supplements to offset the lack of nutritional value found in bulletproof coffee.
If you have tried to make your own bulletproof coffee, you might have noticed that the coffee was bitter and oily. It turns out that the ingredients you use are a key part of making bulletproof coffee. Special beans, special butter, and a special blender ensure that everything combines nicely for a smooth result.

Review: The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord
Published by Bloomsbury USA Childrens on March 31, 2015
Genres: Contemporary, Romance
Format: ARC
Amazon • The Book Depository
Following her pitch-perfect debut Open Road Summer, Emery Lord pens another gorgeous story of best friends, new love, & second chances.
Brimming with heartfelt relationships and authentic high-school dynamicsThe Start of Me and You proves that it's never too late for second chances.
It's been a year since it happened—when Paige Hancock's first boyfriend died in an accident. After shutting out the world for two years, Paige is finally ready for a second chance at high school . . . and she has a plan. First: Get her old crush, Ryan Chase, to date her—the perfect way to convince everyone she's back to normal. Next: Join a club—simple, it's high school after all. But when Ryan's sweet, nerdy cousin, Max, moves to town and recruits Paige for the Quiz Bowl team (of all things!) her perfect plan is thrown for a serious loop. Will Paige be able to face her fears and finally open herself up to the life she was meant to live?
Emery Lord debuted incredibly strongly with Open Road Summer. Her debut proved her talent in writing character, friendship, and romance. I loved it so much that Bloomsbury actually put my blurb on the back of the ARC. (Shameless bragging I know, but it's never happened before and I'm excited!) The Start of Me and You has all of those same qualities in spades. In fact, I think The Start of Me and You actually manages to improve upon Open Road Summer, with its heartfelt look at family, its beautiful character arcs,, and its message of embracing life. Emery Lord has done it again.
Paige Elizabeth Hancock is tired of That Look. She's tired of being defined as the girl whose boyfriend drowned. Even though it's been two years, everyone knows about Aaron, so she's seen as a grieving widow, even though they'd only been together for a couple of months. Going into her junior year, Paige wants to finally finish grieving and get a fresh start. With this in mind, like any good planner, Paige makes a list of goals: 1) go to a party 2) join a group 3) date 4) travel & 5) swim.
The Start of Me and You is a romance at its heart, but there's a lot of other things going on here. For all that the ship is central, there's very little actual romance in it. Though it feels fluffy, The Start of Me and You gets pretty sad sometimes too. Emery Lord excels at really building lives for her characters. It's not just about Paige's love life, but also about all of her family relationships, her friendships, and her feelings about Aaron. That's a lot to handle in one relatively short novel, but Lord gets it done like a boss.
Paige starts off on the list like the goal-oriented girl she is, expecting to be a better her by the time she hit the end of it. She finds, as all of us do, that life isn't that simple. What she thinks she wants isn't necessarily going to be what she needs, and she can't rush to acceptance. It's a process. Life is a process. We're all of us constantly growing, changing, and learning from our inevitable and plentiful mistakes; at least, we're learning if we're wise enough to pay attention. What I love so very much about The Start of Me and You is that in pretty much every character we get to know at all, this is so evident. Heck, we even get a small window into Ryan's ex-girlfriend who makes a brief appearance. These characters are so dynamic, and the arcs are powerful.
Years before the book began, Paige's parents got together. It was a painful time, but Paige was glad that they got divorced, because they were so much healthier and happier apart. More to the points, they were better parents apart. At the beginning of the novel, they drop the bombshell that they're dating. Each other. It's supposed to be the dream of every kid whose parents are divorced right?
For Paige, it's not. Paige doesn't take the news well, and, as much as she is really built to, rebels. She's very much not supportive. This leads to fights with her younger sister, who takes a more Hayley Mills or Lindsay Lohan approach to parental reunion. The Hancocks are a very loving and believable family, but they have their issues to resolve. When the novel closes, things aren't perfect, but they never can be; they are, however, hopeful.
Even more than those family relationships, I adored Paige's with her grandmother. Paige tells her Grammy everything. Though Grammy's memory is going, Paige will tell her over and over, because that's how much she loves her and respects her advice. Her Grammy is a real hero for her. Their relationship is so sweet and a little bit sad. Also, Grammy is such a shipper, which I love her for forever.
The friendships too are a thing of a beauty. Paige has three close friends: Tessa, Kayleigh, and Morgan. Tessa and Paige are besties, as are Kayleigh and Morgan, but the group as a whole is very solid. That doesn't mean that jealousies and fights don't crop up, because of course they do, but they always get dealt with. Bottom line: they're always there to support one another. The way the heroine in Open Road Summer reacted to female characters who weren't her best friend was the biggest issue that I and many others had with Lord's debut, and nothing remotely similar is present in The Start of Me and You.
In junior year, those four add two new friends: Ryan Chase and his cousin Max Watson. Ryan was Paige's goal boy for that third goal, dating. Max, who's also his best friend, quickly becomes one of Paige's best friends. They bond over literature, grammar, and pop culture. Obviously, I had some amount of feels about this. No, for real, Max is one of my favorite book boys ever. He's so smart and adorable and nerdy banter like WHOA. While I would have liked a few more chapters of happy coupleness at the end, this book still has one of the hottest non-kiss scenes ever in a book. For the record though, there will actually be kissing, but prepare to do a lot of shouting at the book first.
My reservations regarding The Start of Me and You are so trivial that some of you will probably laugh at my nitpicking, but I can't leave them unsaid. Paige is a "Grammar Girl," though she's embarrassed by the designation. Yet, this happens: "me and Aaron" (48). It's in the title too. While the internet is of two minds about whether putting yourself first is grammatically incorrect or just impolite, I really don't think it's something a grammar nerd would do. Paige also claims to be a pop culture aficionado, but she didn't know there was more than one Indiana Jones movie. She'd also never heard of Firefly and didn't bother to look it up. Small, yes, but they made me question Paige a bit.
Let's be real, guys. I'll be reading absolutely anything this woman writes; I don't care what it is. Any author who can bring the swoon like this is an author I will keep reading.
"In books, sometimes the foreshadowing is so obvious that you know what's going to happen. But knowing what happens isn't the same as knowing how it happens. Getting there is the best part."
Because Max is perfect. You adorable nerd with moves, you.

In anyone's eyes the last few weeks have been an extraordinary news cycle. Phone hacking, the closure of the best selling UK paper, European crises, the carnage in Norway and of course the tragedy of Amy. Now the frightening prospect of the US defaulting on their loans, due to nothing more than political wrangling, threatening the world economy.
It's enough to leave us all thinking that anything else is a little mundane, however it is far from it. If anything it tells us to make the most of everyday life, to worry only about the things we can control, to rejoice in the mundane and make it as fun and worthwhile as we possibly can.
One of those mundane things is the UK property market. It seems that this will be flat for a while, with only growing regional differences to write about as London continues to exist within its' own bubble.
But we have to deal with what we are faced by and whilst it may seem tough, there are always positives. With funding rates at an all time low there is an opportunity for many to finally make that move or to remortgage to protect themselves against the future.
Being able to borrow at just 1.90% would have seemed laughable a few years ago, whilst being able to fix for 2 years at just 2.49%, 3 years at 3.15% or 5 years at 3.64% a mere pipe dream.
With the unpredictable nature of things we also need to ensure that we all do all we can to protect ourselves. With fixed rates at an all time low, those of us who are more sensitive to future rate rises can act to secure payments. Those that have put off taking out the essential protection policies to ensure financial security should life take a nasty turn, well now is a good time to look into it again.
It never ceases to amaze me how many leave themselves and their families open to potential hardship by refusing to find the extra few quid it would take to secure their futures. After all, this is cash that is probably spent in the pub, or over a nice meal each month without thinking. Many of us spend more a month on coffee, (he says staring at a Starbucks cup), than we do on insurances that could literally save our home.
Whatever else is happening in the world, UK lenders seem hungry again for action and we should all be making the most of this. After all, there is not much point in us all going Back To Black.

Making All Things New
Garage-Country-Punk-Rock is how I tried to describe this music to someone, but it still doesn't fit quite right and to be honest it's really difficult to pigeon-hole this band. They're somewhere between Lucero and the Hold Steady, then the next tune and they're playing MOR rock and roll, then they sound like the Replacements, then they opt for a grungier sound, then you start to listen to their lyrics and you realise that they owe an awful lot to people like Jeff Tweedy. So I guess my original explanation is probably still the best way to describe Two Cow Garage – Garage-Country-Punk-Rock it is then. But that still doesn't sound right to me… They're more than the sum of their parts.
Three, is their third album. And it is an accomplished album showcasing this small, yet hard-working, band – they've played nearly two hundred live shows a year for the last few years – in the best possible light.
Opener, 'Come Back to Shelby' and follow-up, 'Epitaph' are rollocking numbers which are great to listen to with the stereo cranked up to 11. 'No Shame' is a more mature song showcasing the band's lyrical talents – they are not rock-god demi-Gods with no failings, but real human beings saying there's no shame in failed careers, relationships and even in failing the rock n roll dream. This is even more pronounced in their song 'Mediocre', which as you can guess by the title, is a tale of not quite reaching expectations and is far from being true to the song's name.
'Should've California', a song which was widely blogged about at the time of this album's release last year, is in a similar vain, although the backing is softer. It's a very mature and, at times, spell-blinding song which wouldn't feel out of place in the UK's top 20 singles chart right now. A great little tune about regret and reflection, that sounds as if it was written by someone who is much older than the Two Cow Garage boys almost certainly are.
The rest of the album is heavy rocking Garage-Country-Punk-Rock as I previously explained. And it is, as with the Hold Steady's and Lucero's recent releases, a great album to get drunk to, a great album to dance to, and a great album to sing along with close friends to. It's definitely a sound which gets better with every swig from an oversized bottle of Jack Daniels.

We just received the final ruling from the IRS on the tax / fines / penalties for individuals and families for their U.S. domestic health insurance starting January 1st, 2014.
On August 27, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a final rule for the individual mandate provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
As a reminder, the individual mandate requires most individuals to have minimum essential coverage in 2014 or pay a penalty. The penalty is called a shared responsibility payment. Some individuals may qualify for an exemption from the mandate so they will not be required to have coverage or pay a penalty. An individual seeking an exemption may do so in advance through an application submitted to the Exchange/Marketplace or after the fact with the IRS through the tax filing process. An applicant can apply for multiple exemptions simultaneously.
An individual is considered to have minimum essential coverage for any month in which he or she is enrolled in one of the following types of coverage for at least one day. Changes from the proposed rule are noted in italics.
An employer-sponsored group health plan offered in a state, which is defined as the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. This includes plans offered by, or on behalf of, an employer to an employee, e.g. multiemployer plans, single employer collectively bargained plans, plans sponsored by third parties such as professional employer organizations, temporary staffing agency, etc.
An individual health insurance policy offered in the individual market in a state or through an Exchange/Marketplace in a territory.
*Designated as minimum essential coverage for plan/policy years beginning on or before December 31, 2014. For coverage beginning after December 31, 2014, sponsors of high risk pool or self-funded student health coverage may apply to be recognized as providing minimum essential coverage.
**Coverage provided by another country and coverage for AmeriCorps volunteers are no longer automatically deemed minimum essential coverage. However, individuals may apply to have their coverage recognized as minimum essential coverage.
The final rule does not specifically address arrangements in which an employer provides subsidies or funds a pre-tax arrangement (e.g., a stand-alone Health Reimbursement Account) for employees to purchase a plan in the individual market. The final rule also doesn't address wellness incentives. These issues will be addressed in future guidance.
The final rule confirmed the broad exemption categories, including a few changes in italics.
Taxpayers with income below the tax filing threshold. A taxpayer is not required to file a federal income tax return solely to claim the exemption, and may apply for exemption via the Exchange/Marketplace.
The first penalties will be due when individuals file their 2014 tax returns in 2015. A penalty is the greater of either a specified dollar amount or percentage of income. The annual penalties for 2014 through 2016 are noted below. Beginning in 2017, penalties will increase based on the cost of living.


According to the elders, the action of the CAN President, was a further confirmation of all their protests and petitions in 2018, querying his faithfulness to Christ and to His Church.
Apart from Danjuma and Asemota, other members of NCEF are Prof. Joseph Otubu, Gen. Joshua Dogonyaro (retd.), late Archbishop Magnus Atilade, Dr. (Mrs) Kate Okpareke, Dr. Ayo Abifarin, Gen. Zamani Lekwot (retd.), Elder Moses Ihonde, Elder Nat Okoro and Elder Matthew Owojaiye.
Other members included Justice Kalajine Anigbogu (retd.), Elder Shyngle Wigwe, DIG P. L. Dabup, Sir John W. Bagu, Dr Saleh Hussaini, Elder Mike Orobator, Justice James Ogebe, JSC (retd.), Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Chief Debo Omotosho, Dame Priscilla Kuye, Dr S. D. Gani, Mrs Osaretin Demuren, Prof. Yussuf Turaki; late former General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake and Bosun Emmanuel (Secretary).
The statement read in part, "It is therefore premature and presumptuous for anyone to congratulate President Buhari for "winning" an election that is contested in court. The NCEF wishes to state that the congratulatory visit to Aso Villa by CAN could not be in the interest of Nigerian Christians who daily bear the agony of thousands of their brethren being killed, maimed, displaced and marginalised in the jihad launched in the northern parts of the country.

The history of the houses
Infopoint/map
Stationen i Skäralid was completed in 1892 when the line section between Klippan and Röstånga was inaugurated. Upstairs there was then a two-room apartment for the station inspector. Six years later, the railway from Röstånga to Eslöv (southern main line) was extended. As traffic increased to Skäralid, both freight and passenger traffic, Skäralid's station needed to be expanded. In 1914, the station was completed as it looks today. The railway had its peak in the 1940s and a bit into the 1950s with freight transport for stone and timber. Skäralid was then, as now, a major tourist attraction and during the weekends, extra trains were deployed from Malmö and Copenhagen. In step with an increase in private motoring, the railway became less and less profitable and on 31 August 1961 the last passenger train ran between Klippan and Eslöv. Freight traffic continued for another time. In 1968, all railway traffic was closed to Skäralid for good.
Yellow House, or as it was formerly called Lundgren's café, was built in 1925. The house was built as a private home, but the owners Elin and Per Svensson soon found the house too large and therefore opened a café and traveling room. The rooms were rented mainly to tourists, stonemasons and other temporary residents. There was a small house on the plot called "Ateljén" which was also rented out. In 1956, the house was sold to BP's petrol company, which intended to open a petrol station, but it never came to fruition. The house was sold instead and the new owner opened an antique shop for a few years. After that, the house stood empty for many years to be bought by the Domain Authority in the late 1970s. In 1981, Sweden's first nature school was inaugurated in Gula Villan. Unfortunately, the nature school was closed down in the mid-1990s and instead Gula Villan became a hostel and tourist information for Klippan municipality.
Skäralids Camping is located in an old quarry. Stone began to be mined in Skäralid on a larger scale in 1906. By the time up to the First World War in 1914, there were about 60 employees in the quarry. The stonemasons came from Småland, Blekinge and Bohuslän where there were old traditions of quarrying. In Skäralid, many different kinds of stone were carved, such as paving stones, stepping stones, but also finer stones such as cemetery walls and monuments. Those who carved monuments were the most skilled stonemasons and were called "monumenters". They were real artists. During World War II, much stone was exported to Germany and Hitler's monuments. The quarry was closed down in the early 1970s.
Skäralid och Kopparhatten has been visited by many people for over a hundred years. Nature tourism gained momentum at the end of the 19th century when bourgeois class holidays and nature romance were in vogue. More people settled in the cities and the railway to Skäralid meant that many could go here on an excursion and experience magnificent nature. The tourist hotel in Skäralid was built in 1906 and here the bourgeoisie could live and eat well. Many Danes came here by direct train (via the ferry) from Elsinore and Copenhagen. Dance courts at Skärdammen and Kopparhatten attracted the "ordinary people" from near and far. It was not unusual to cycle to Skäralid from Simrishamn, Ystad and Trelleborg, a distance of just over 100 km!

Did Industrialization Lead to Segregation in Cities of the Nineteenth Century? The Case of Uppsala 1880–1900
joint with Martin Söderhäll, Department of Economic History, Uppsala University.
In the project, we explore the dynamics of land use, residential patterns and class segregation in Uppsala, a middle-sized Swedish city, during the late 19th century using georeferenced data at the level of individual housing blocks. A preliminary finding is that the expansion of business activity close to the transportation hubs pushed lower-class households further away from the central district. However, there was no increase in measured class segregation. In the future we intend to extend the analysis in time and to include more cities, allowing for a comparison across different economic and geographical contexts.

Wage Differentials and Industrialization in Sweden: Evidence from New Construction Worker Wages Data, 1831-1900
joint with Johan Ericsson, Department of History, Uppsala University.
In this project, we present new evidence on construction worker wages for nineteenth-century Sweden. In addition to providing data for a sector where previously only scant material has existed, the dataset allows us to look at wages across geographical areas and several skill groups where no evidence has previously been available. A preliminary finding so far is that skill-differentials decreased in the early stages of industrialization and that urban-rural wage premiums remained mostly unchanged, suggesting that the Kuznets-hypothesis of increased inequality is not an apt characterization of the Swedish experience.

I heard a really good conversation opener during a break at the Nordic Business Forum recently. Instead of the standard question about what I do for a living, I was surprised to be asked: "Why do you do what you do for a living?" It was a fresh, thought-provoking way to start up a conversation – and it was very much a sign of our times.
NBForum brought together thousands of people looking for business wisdom from literally the best and brightest in business. Guests at the event seemed to eat up everything related to topics like "how to succeed" and "how to be a better leader".
I had a chance to talk to many business leaders I know and almost all of them had the same question on their mind: Is the work we do meaningful? And this same topic of conversation has been coming up more and more frequently in recent months and years. Am I spending my time and my expertise doing things that truly matter – and are the things that are important to me part of my work? Do I spend my energy on things that I can really be proud of?
The audience at Nordic Business Forum had the chance to take Aava's Virta Wellbeing test and answer questions about their own wellbeing. A wide range of Finnish and international business leaders – and people with their sights set on becoming business leaders – took part and the results gave them a lot to think about. Not surprisingly, successful people are generally in good physical and emotional shape. But over 25% of the participants have a lot of work to do when it comes to their wellbeing. And a small percentage said they were very concerned about the level of their own wellbeing.
The most interesting finding was the correlation between doing meaningful things and financial satisfaction. People who feel like they do meaningful things in their own lives are the most satisfied with their financial situations.
Figure 1. Correlation between perceived amount of meaningful (to self or others) doing and subjective economic satisfaction among Nordic Business Forum attendees. In scatterplot data, the green box represents subjects with relatively good index scores in both dimensions and red box represents subjects in need of improvement in both dimensions.
External motivators like pay, title, and other benefits almost always lead to comparisons and competition with other people and the sense that you're never compensated well enough for the work you do. Internal motivators, on the other hand, like doing something meaningful and being "pulled in" by your work, tend to decrease the need to compare yourself to those around you.
Doing a job that's a calling and loving the work you do are rewarding in themselves.

Sadak 2 becomes the worst-rated movie on IMDB
Sub Editor #15 - Real News India August 29, 2020
Hours after the release of Alia Bhatt starrer movie Sadak 2 via Disney+ Hotstar, humongous number of users took to IMDB to down-rate the movie, granting it with the rare feat of being the lowest-rated movie on the platform. This is weeks after the movie's trailer had received harsh reviews and a distinction of becoming the second-most disliked video in the world.
The Total IMDb score of the Sadak 2 movie is 1.1, with 11,586 users having registered their ratings. Most of the reviewers have provided the movie with the minimum allowed rating of 1 star, out of the available 10, and labelled the movie as "Absolute Trash", "Intolerable", "Pathetic film" and "Waste of Time".
What kept Samantha busy during lockdown
Sadak 2 cast includes Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapoor in lead roles and is a sequel to the 1991 movie Sadak. The movie marks the directorial comeback of Mahesh Bhatt, who took to direction almost after 2 decades.

January 2013 - Track News Update
SUMMIT E.T. FINALS WILL BE HOSTED IN SPOKANE OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Following the NHRA Northwest Division Meetings in Seattle, the host site for the 36th Annual Division 6 Summit E.T. Finals was confirmed and Spokane County Raceway in Airway Heights, Wash. (outside of Spokane), will be the next stop in the rotating series for the Team Finals on Aug. 29-31, Sept. 1, 2013.
This will mark the first time in the three and a half decade history of the E.T. Finals that Spokane will host the event, a region that is often recognized as the Inland Empire.
Plans are already going together to take 58 racers to Spokane. All together, 50 racers will earn spots from within the Boise Muffler Gold Cup chase in Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman and Sled/Bike. Six additional racers will qualify from the Junior Dragster program and two will earn positions from the High School Series, to make-up a full 58-member team.
Out of the mix will come those who qualify for the Race of Champions event on Saturday, which will once again see the top six racers in Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman and Sled/Bike compete within the very special "race within a race". The four overall winners will earn trips to the Summit national championship held in conjunction with the NHRA World Finals in Pomona in November.
The new 2013 NHRA Rule Books are now available. We will have them in the Firebird booth at the Boise Roadster Show in March.
SIX PEOPLE INDUCTED INTO DIVISION 6 HALL OF FAME
Seattle, Washington…The 2012 NHRA Division 6 Award's Banquet took place at the Seattle Airport Marriott on Saturday evening, January 12th. Champions were crown in the Lucas Oil Drag Race Series, Summit Series, and an assortment of other programs. In addition, six people were recognized into the Division 6 Hall of Fame. The recipients included Jack Shannon, Steve Denbo, Hank Johnson, Frank Hall, Jess Jones, and Dave Weiss.
Shannon was the Division 6 Director from 1969 to 1977; Denbo was a racer and past NHRA Certification team member, track announcer and former P.I.R. manager; Johnson was a former Top Fuel, Funny Car and BB/Funny Car competitor; Hall was a former Funny Car driver and Division 6 Director; Jones was a crew chief for Hank Johnson; and Weiss was a 60's-era Top Fuel standout.
Recognized for their dedication to event coverage and photography, the Firebird facility was acknowledged for the National Dragster Media Award presented on behalf of NHRA newspaper editor Phil Burgess.
A tip of the hat goes out to all the division champions and assortment of other award recipients. Noteworthy amongst a bevy of special plaques and trophies was the presentation for Racer of the Year, which was handed out to Brad Burton, the 2012 NHRA Stock eliminator World Champion (who also won the season opening Ignitor at Firebird).

Illinois teen at wheel of car during fatal car accident | Bonifield & Rosenstengel, P.C.
On behalf of Bonifield & Rosenstengel, P.C. posted in Car Accidents on Monday, August 5, 2013.
A teenage driver was at the wheel of one of the car's involved in a recent incident on an Illinois roadway. The car accident, which officials say may have been caused by the teen, resulted in the death of one victim. In addition, at least one other person suffered injury that required medical attention.
Early reports of the car accident note that the teenager and the man at the wheel of the other vehicle involve dint he car accident were at the intersection of Troy-O'Fallon Road and Mill Creek Road just prior to the crash. As one car entered the intersection, it was struck on the driver's side by the vehicle being driven by the teenager. The violent impact caused the driver to be ejected from his car, which had overturned.
The man died at the scene of the car accident. Now, Illinois officials are left to make determinations as to how the incident occurred and who was at fault. This information could assist them in their efforts to determine of criminal charges will be filed against the young driver.
In addition to possible criminal allegations, the driver may also face personal injury liability after the car accident. In these type of cases. Survivors of deceased and injured victims can make claims such as the loss of wages and pain and suffering. These claims, once completed, can lead to an award for victims that can help them to recover some of the economic losses that they suffered in a car accident. This is the case despite the inability to quickly recover from the tragic emotional loss that occurs when someone dies in a car wreck.


It is all very well, when disputes about an author's intentions arise, to insist that it is the written-down story that should command our attention as readers, and that questions about what the author may have intended to do, what his literary models may have been, or what may have been going on in his personal life or that of his community at the time ought not make the least difference to us.
Why, however, go to hear novelists give readings and talk about their work? Why do they wish to know what kind of person it is who wrote the fiction? What can account for their interest in the creative process that produced it? Why are literary biographies written and published, and why do readers buy and read them? Is no more than idle curiosity involved?
I think not. Certainly the story itself is where everything begins (and, ultimately, ends) for the reader. What happens, however, is that readers of fiction, caught up in the telling of a tale, are drawn into the imaginative orbit of the teller. They become interested in how and why the author wrote what they have been reading. Assuredly the reader of a good novel is no purist. The literary theorist, like the passionate trout fisherman discoursing upon the presentation of artificial flies, may hold forth on what is and is not the proper way to go about reading a novel, yet the very nature of the fictional imagination itself invites complicated response. For just that reason, authorial intentions become of interest to us.
I am generally an admirer of Louis Rubin (especially for his book The Comic Imagination in American Literature and for his efforts as founding publisher of Algonquin Books), but this passage proceeds upon so many false assumptions and reaches so many flawed conclusions (in addition to raising many of the questions with which this blog has been especially preoccupied) that it's all but impossible for me to resist commenting on them. In the process, perhaps I will additionally clarify the underlying assumptions about literature that inform many of my own posts here at The Reading Experience.
First of all, I have never really understood why it is that "disputes about an author's intentions arise" in the first place. In some instances such disputes can indeed be easily resolved (ask the author, or read what he/she had to say on the subject), but no doubt Rubin has in mind those that can't be--the author is long dead and made no comments about intent in particular cases. Yet, in neither situation does it seem to me important to know the author's intentions, beyond knowing that he/she considered this composition to be a poem, that one a work of fiction, etc. Once the work has gone out into the world as a poem, a novel, a play, how it is to be understood or interpreted is out of the author's hands, and that is a good thing, both for readers and, ultimately, for the work itself. It may be of interest to know that a writer hoped to accomplish a certain goal in composing this work, to treat an especially urgent theme or explore a specific idea, but if subsequent readers' interpretations are to be constrained by these intentions, held to account by their fidelity to them, the work in question no longer really invites close reading: Just tell me what the writer meant to say and save me the time and effort required to read it.
Rubin's phrasing is in addition rather peculiar: "It is all very well. . .to insist that it is the written-down story that should command our attention as readers". Written-down story? This seems to me a rather awkward attempt at minimizing the differences between literary texts and orally-related stories and thus to secure for the former some of the authority that does indeed belong to the oral storyteller. Because the latter remains present, and is able to exploit the resources of tone and gesture, he/she does have a firmer claim on "intention," while the writer has to settle for his disembodied words becoming fixed to the page. But precisely because they are disembodied, the writer's words are inevitably subject to the interpretive efforts of readers who do not regard themselves as the passive vessels of the author's intent, especially since that intent is usually only obscurely apparent in the first place. Writing down stories is what brings readers into existence, so why negate the significance of this act by dwelling on authorial intent?
In enumerating the possible areas of inquiry one might pursue "outside the text," Rubin unfortunately confuses some perfectly good ones with others that are of extremely dubious value. What a writer's "literary models may have been" is a potentially very useful thing to know, since this may have a very direct bearing on the text at hand, influencing both its form and its statement of theme, while "wondering what may have been going on in his personal life" takes us away from the text and focuses our attention instead on gossip, just as an "interest in the creative process" might enrich our appreciation of particular strategies or techniques as they manifest themselves in the work, while wishing "to know what kind of person it is who wrote the fiction" diverts us into hearsay and frivolous speculation that has more to do with tabloid journalism than with literature. Sometimes literary biographies are written by people with a genuine interest in such things as literary models and the creative process, who produce books that offer valuable insights into the literary work of the writers featured, but I'm afraid that most readers buy and read biographies as a way of avoiding deeper engagement with that work, at worst as a way of indulging our taste for gossip.
Rubin is half right when he claims that "readers of fiction, caught up in the telling of a tale, are drawn into the imaginative orbit of the teller." Surely we are caught up in what could be called an "imaginative orbit," a fictional world evoked by the writer, but if by "teller" Rubin means the biographical author him/herself, then I think he is encouraging an inattentive and oversimplified view of what reading fiction is like. The "teller" (in a 3rd person narrative--1st person narration makes Rubin's account seem only more inadequate) in a work of fiction is just as much a character--just as much a fiction--as any of the more obviously identified kind. It is a construct the author has created to get the story told, although more precisely it is a character evoked by the habits of language the author has given it. It is not the author. How could it be, since, again, a work of fiction is a text, an artificial arrangement of words on a page, not a recitation by an actual person fully present to his/her listeners? And, speaking for myself at least, I may ultimately become interested in "how and why the author wrote what [I] have been reading" (if by "how" is meant how the work itself is structured or how its story is related), but not while I am reading a work for the first time or if "why" means digging around into the author's purely personal circumstances.
It may indeed be true that most readers are not "purists" (and that I probably am), and it is certainly true that "the very nature of the fictional imagination itself invites complicated responses." But I would argue that many readers might find their enjoyment of fiction actually enhanced if they allowed the complexities of "the fictional imagination itself" to play themselves out as part of a reading experience more attuned to the more "pure" possibilities of fiction as an aesthetic medium rather than closing off those possibilities in favor of biographical or sociological speculation. The latter does not so much "complicate" our response as readers as divert our attention away from the exigencies of reading. Since Rubin himself goes on in this essay to warn against taking the author's projected image too seriously (in particular using Hemingway as an example), it is difficult to understand why he would lend respectability to a reading practice that continues to direct our attention to that image in the first place.


Family health practitioners, including GPs, are responsible for between £40 and £100 million in fraud from the NHS in Scotland, a report has concluded.
Audit Scotland estimated between 3 per cent and 8 per cent of claims by GPs, opticians, pharmacists and dentists were fraudulent.
NHS Scotland's Counter Fraud Services said the figure had been extrapolated from the English Department of Health estimates and it was impossible to indicate how much of the fraud GPs were responsible for.
The fraud service also estimated patients made £12.6 million of invalid claims about exemptions in 2002/3.
