John Bercow (Buckingham) (Con): I am proud to rise to champion the cause of the Nuffield speech and language unit, which is based in Ealing. It is a centre of excellence that now faces the threat of closure.
It is right that the House and those interested in the subject should understand the background. The Nuffield speech and language unit is a part of the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear hospital, which in turn is part of the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust. Since 1971, the unit has provided specialist intensive therapy and teaching to children aged between four and seven with the most severe speech and language disorders. No provision of comparable quality for such children does or can exist in mainstream education.
It is important to understand that children typically attend the unit for an average of two years. The severity of their impairments means that they are not able to participate in, or be integrated into, mainstream education. Quite apart from its teaching and therapy work, the unit has established itself intellectually and professionally as the repository of excellence in research and good practice, and the Nuffield dyspraxia programme is used in countries all over the world.
The unit is small, catering for between 12 and 14 children. I have described the teaching and therapy that it provides, and the significance of its globally imitated dyspraxia programme. In addition, the unit is inextricably bound up with the Nuffield hearing and speech centre, which receives some 40 requests each week—from parents and professionals, by telephone, e-mail and post—seeking advice on speech therapy.
That is the background to the unit's significance. It is exemplary and deservedly celebrated, but is now facing the threat of closure. For the best part of five successive years, the unit has been either full or over-subscribed. As a result, it had become a net financial contributor to its parent trust. This year, however, it is suffering a lack of referrals for 2006–07 and so is falling into deficit for the first time.
Two factors explain the lack of referrals. First, the local education authority is resistant to the issuing of statements, and to agreeing to and providing finance for out-of-area placements. Secondly, there is a widespread and—dare I say it?—almost pervasive ignorance of the unit's existence. I attribute that ignorance to the fact that the Royal Free Hampstead trust has devoted a degree of energy to marketing the trust that is somewhere between minimal and nil.
I emphasise to the Minister that, on the strength of that one-year deficit, the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust is proposing to close this distinguished and celebrated unit.
fear that that centre of excellence and expertise could be lost for ever. It is without equal and, if we are not careful, we are going to lose a very precious resource.
John Bercow: I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who makes his point eloquently and pithily. In preparing for the debate, I became aware of Dr. Deirdre Lucas, but it is a pretty safe bet that she will not be aware of me. I know of her authority and expertise in the field. She is one of a number of people who are determined to fight the good fight to preserve the unit because she has professional knowledge of its indispensability.
"there exists no local provision which can match the therapy delivered by the highly experienced staff at the Nuffield unit".
Significantly, it adds that if the unit ceases to exist, the future potential of the children whom it serves will be severely damaged. I could not put it more effectively than that.
We are describing a vital national resource, which on my reckoning at least 16 local education authorities have used over the years. We cannot afford lightly, if at all, to dispense with existing centres of excellence. We should be proud of them. We should be defending them and building on them, championing and supporting them, and if they are under threat it is the responsibility of all political parties, including pre-eminently the governing party, to get involved: to take a stance, to lend a hand and not to back off—a point to which I will, in due course, return.
Mr. Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con): I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. Does he agree that one of the problems is that to a certain extent the unit is seen as a Cinderella part of the national health and the education services? I have personal experience of the problem. My five-year-old son had a minor speech problem that was difficult to have attended to in the state system, so to hear that a unit with such national excellence is to close is extremely worrying.
John Bercow: I entirely agree. My hon. Friend reinforces the argument and the impression, which I am glad to say is correct and growing, that there is strong support for the unit.
that caters specifically for children with severe speech and language disorders; and 13 per cent. go to other specialist schools.
Early intervention is of the essence. I underline that point. We have to ensure that children in special and intense need are assisted at an early stage. If we do that, help, treatment, therapy and teaching can be highly effective. What is more, that can result in cost savings in the medium to long term. On the other hand, if we intervene very late, there are grave risks, such as emotional and psychological damage, lower educational attainment, a persistent communication handicap and poorer employment prospects. For all those reasons, it is vital that children get a chance without the procrastination, delay and politicking that prevent them from getting the help that they need. We cannot simply intervene later and rescue the situation. Serious, grave and potentially irrevocable damage can be done to the opportunities and life chances of children who are so delayed or neglected.
"In the event of closure, politicians should realise that no other facility will provide comparable treatment for this age group and these very vulnerable children will no longer receive the care they so desperately require."
Hers is not the only voice.
"The Nuffield has always been viewed as the gold standard for children . . . with oral and/or verbal dyspraxia."
Significantly and ominously, she goes on to add that children who go elsewhere for their treatment or education make "significantly slower" progress.
"Vincente has made more progress in two terms at the Nuffield Unit than at any other time of his life."
That is the considered judgment of a range of people who know of the unit, who can see its benefit, who are alarmed at the threat to its existence and who are determined to protect it.

How to do a Jigsaw Puzzle - for the first time
How to do a jigsaw puzzle, using a map puzzle of London
Before I began
I wanted to learn how to do a jigsaw puzzle and as someone who had never done a jigsaw puzzle I decided I would get as much advice I could from the All Jigsaw Puzzles Facebook community to set me off on the best foot. I got some great advice especially from Sue Corbett and Neal Cracknell. They suggested starting by sorting the edge and corner pieces into separate areas, followed then by pieces by colour or text size. Sue mentioned using bags or bowls to keep the sorted pieces separate. Neal suggested using a flat surface and to have good lighting.
Starting off
The jigsaw puzzle I was given for the project was a site centred map jigsaw from Butler and Hill, which was centred on our London office, an area I know well. I started with a Puzzle Snug 2000 as my flat surface, which is built for making jigsaws on and has a felt top to make sure the pieces don't move around too much while you are puzzling. I brought in some empty containers from home and was set to use these along with the box lid to help sort pieces. Putting the advice I'd received into practice, I made a cup of tea and set to work.
Sorting the pieces
I began by getting out all the pieces out of the bag and started turning them all to be face up and putting the edge pieces into the box lid and the corner pieces into a ramekin I had brought along. Taking the edge pieces, I had to sort these into groups depending on which side of the jigsaw they belonged to. This was fairly easy, as on a map jigsaw each piece is likely to contain some element of text; which on maps tends to be orientated in the direction. This meant I could orientate the pieces according to the text being the correct way up. The straight edge would let me know which side of the map the piece belonged to. I then started sorting the pieces by colours which in the case of a map tends to be specific to mapped features. This meant I could identify the River Thames by the blue pieces, the A and B roads by their colours, and the parks by a green colour. From there I started with the place I knew and was in the centre, the house-shaped piece of the jigsaw; our office location. The next thing I did was build pieces out of places I recognised, such as the local shopping centre and various streets and landmarks close to our office. The horseshoe-shaped area of the Thames was a key part to get together first and really help orientate other locations.
Completing the puzzle
Perhaps the hardest part to complete, and therefore the last pieces to go in the puzzle were the little residential streets which radiate across London's landscape. These all look very similar, and in most cases, these were the exceptions to the rule of having their text aligned. The text tended to follow the direction of the road rather than being orientated with the horizontal upright text on the map. It was at this point when I first really realised that I was doing the jigsaw without a guide image to work from. It would have been much easier to have a printed guide of the map at this point, but after a while searching through and reading unfamiliar street names, I realised that it was far more interesting exploring the area, rather than copying from an image. We do sometimes receive feedback asking why there isn't a guide image with the Site Centred Map Jigsaws and now after personally completing one, I feel it's far more rewarding to complete without one and really enjoy the discovery a map jigsaw can offer.
I really enjoyed learning how to do a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw took around three and a half hours to complete. On reflection, I really enjoyed my puzzling experience. At one point I was so engrossed in it that I forgot to drink the cup of tea my colleague kindly made me! I seemed to be able to shut off the world and get lost in the jigsaw and the music coming from the radio. There was a great sense of satisfaction in finishing it and I look forward to doing more in the future.
George.

New Kia Soul EV revealed at LA show with more power and range
by Lawrence Allan, Autocar UK 29 Nov 2018
Kia has pulled the covers off its new Soul, in all-electric EV form, at the 2018 Los Angeles motor show. Alongside an updated design and new technology, it borrows a significantly uprated powertrain from the e-Niro crossover.
Shown in EV form before the standard (and not for Europe) petrol models are revealed later this year, the new Soul's exterior design is an evolutionary step on from the old car. The familiar boxy profile remains, but new front and rear-end designs, with fresh lighting signatures at both ends, mark out the Mk3 Soul.
Unique features to the EV version include smoother and more aerodynamic upper designs, a blanked-off grille and LED headlamps with an altered look. As with the old car, it also receives unique five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels used for the aerodynamic properties, while the charging port has been integrated into the Soul's front bumper.
The Soul EV borrows its electric motor and battery pack from the top-spec variant of the larger e-Niro. That means a power output of 201bhp and 295lb ft of torque, which is 81lb ft more than the outgoing Soul EV. Performance figure have yet to be revealed, but expect the lighter Soul EV to beat the e-Niro's 0-60mph (0-100kph) time of 7.8 seconds.
The 64kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack in the Soul EV has significantly higher energy density than the old pack. Kia claims it is still testing the car to ascertain its official range figure, but we'd be surprise if it doesn't at least match the quoted 301 miles of the e-Niro, All Soul EVs are fitted with CCS DC fast-charging capability.
Unlike the old Soul, all variants make use of new fully independent rear suspension, which is claimed to greatly improve handling and ride. Four drive modes allow the driver to balance maximum power and maximum range, while smart regenerative braking can be adjusted via paddles mounted on the steering wheel. The system can also adjust the amount of regeneration based on a vehicle detected in front of the car.
Inside, the Soul has again been overhauled, with a focus on improving standard equipment and technology. A new 10.25-inch touchscreen is standard, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside voice recognition. Gear selection is controlled via a new rotary shifter in the centre console.
Alongside a full suite of active driver assist features, Kia has added a new 'UVO' telematics system to the Soul EV, allowing drivers to monitor the car's status and control various functions via a smartphone app. Buyers can also send a planned route to the car's navigation system remotely.
Further details of the Soul EV's European and UK spec are yet to be revealed, but we do know it won't arrive in Britain until a few months after the car's mid-2019 European release.

Q: Windows 10 Command Prompt: Running Programs freeze until Ctrl+C I have been using the command prompt in Windows 10 quite a lot, lately, running stuff like Node.js and Apache Tomcat servers, and I have noticed an odd problem: every now and then, the programs stop responding (in the case of these two, stop serving requests) so I focus the command-prompt window and press Ctrl+C to kill the program, intending to start it again. When I do so, however, the program immediately resumes as if it had been suspended or stuck on a debug breakpoint.
I have noticed it with several programs - not just Node and Tomcat - and want to know how/why this happens and how to stop it from happening - it is a very large problem for me - I am trying to write software using these two servers and can never tell whether my code broke or whether the command prompt just froze up.

A: This is a pretty old question but I was having this issue and found the answer: Command prompt hangs until keypress?

A: This is a common thing:
It also happens when using WinPE with bare-bones command prompt terminals as well as PowerShell , or modern .Net 5.0 console programs -- anything. As best I can tell it's a bug with the Windows terminals and there is no proper solution, only ways to mitigate the problem.
One answer to a different question (QuickEdit mode hang) has a comment in it that describes this phenomenon perfectly: "I've seen this for 20 years in windows. It has appeared and disappeared many times... I think its Microsoft not doing proper regression testing, because it comes and goes every few years" (gunslingor Oct 11 '19 at 16:38)
It's a plague to systems administrators:
Sometimes there's absolutely no clue when a program is hanging or just busy and not outputting text -- guess wrong and CTRL+C at the wrong time and you might end up losing hours of work (or worse--if you fail an installation of Exchange Server you'll probably end up corrupting your company's entire active directory database--good luck finding work after that).
As the QuickEdit mode hang is easily confused, it's best to identify what kind of hang you have first.
How to tell whether it's a CTRL-C hang or a QuickEdit Hang:
QuickEdit mode hangs are benevolent in that these console hangs don't actually hang the program -- the second you un-hang the console output, you're immediately greeted by a wall of new lines as the console catches up with the actual output.
To unhang it, press ESC if you're lazy, or adjust the console size if you're careful. Most keys won't do anything, RMouse will potentially paste clipboard into console if it's not actually hung (which can be catastrophic), enter will potentially execute a default input command (if not hung) or lose valuable clipboard info (as it "copies" while marking), and ESC though usually safe might give an abort command to a program. To be safe, adjust the console size.
If it's still hung, you might have a CTRL-C hang, here are mitigations to help verify:
When it's a "CTRL+C"-to-break-free hang it only resumes from exactly where it left off--if it's not hung you abort whatever you're doing, which can be catastrophic. As was mentioned above, there seems to be no fixes, just knowing your stuff and preemptively taking measures so that you can hopefully better tell if it's hung or not:
1a) "Comment" your scripts and programs by outputting to console:
For your own batch files and scripts, turn REM/etc. comments into ECHO outputs. For programs, instead of writing // Write image to share folder:, consider replacing them with Console.WriteLine($"Writing image to share, this should have no output for 10-20 minutes, the current time is {timeNow}".);
1b) Enable verbose mode:
When you're not using your own scripts and programs, see if there's a verbose option. This varies by program and context, but enabling programs' verbose output (often just by adding "-v") can be your friend when working in console directly and not working through your own automation scripts and programs.
2) Know your timings (>30s):
The first time doing something is always the hardest. But once you do it the first time, in your documentation, any time periods that are more than 30 seconds should probably be written down. If it varies based on some factor, try to list two examples:
Imaging HDD's of ~12 gigs, expect 3 minutes of no output.
Imaging HDD's of ~20 gigs, expect 8 minutes of no output.

3) Note before you act.
On a piece of paper, write down what you were running, how far along it got, how long it has been taking, how long you think it should be taking, what you expect to happen if you CTRL+C a running process and what you need to do to resume it from where it is now if that's the case. Most importantly, if you destroyed everything you were working on right now, what would be the time cost of fixing, restoring or resetting it?
Sometimes CTRL-C'ing at the wrong time can have unpredictable consequences. A program termination even if aborted can cause a computer restart if you're in the middle of a complex script. A frozen update can have devastating consequences for an OS. Are you sure you don't want to work on something else for 30 minutes to make sure it's really frozen before trying to unfreeze it? If you're not sure, don't test it yet.
4) Make sure your window is selected.
This sounds dumb, but it's the easiest mistake to make, especially when installing onto a virtual machine or a machine over RDP, even if you only have one window open, click on the terminal's top bar and try to drag it around before pressing CTRL-C (but after trying to resize the window to check for a QuickEdit mode freeze).
We need to avoid two common pitfalls:

*

*Your RDP session might be frozen -- hitting CTRL-C (interacting with the window) may help it re-establish its connection, and that CTRL-C might get erroneously passed through.

*More importantly, your console may not appear to un-hang when you first hit CTRL-C -- but not because it's still hung--just because it froze in the middle of a long process without output. Picture this: you think that the window is selected--you hit CTRL-C and nothing happened, you thought the window maybe wasn't selected so quickly select it and hit CTRL+C again. Then you realize that it was selected to begin with--and frozen--and though you unfroze it with the first CTRL-C, since you hit CTRL-C again after that, its process then gets aborted. Now you face-palm.

The bottom line: When you go to hit CTRL-C you want to make sure that there's no question that it registered and that you only do it once--don't let yourself have any reason to doubt whether the window was selected and responsive during the key press. If there's no response after your first CTRL-C, record the time on your piece of paper, note how long it should take to complete its current process assuming it just started from 0s based off of your timing notes from earlier repetitions of the same process, and don't try again before then (with a little time extra just in case).

A: Check the energy options of your computer there are not in "economic mode". If there is change it to "maximum performance".

How to use Instagram effectivly
10 Best Social Media Meme Trends Of 2017 (So Far)
We can't tell when meme trends became the most widespread reaction on Social Media. Certainly, they're nothing new, but definitely, they're more famous now. It seems yesterday when Neil deGrasse, who is nothing but one of brightest minds of physics, became famous for something far away from his field. Yes, he's the one from the "freak but not freak out" memes. Certainly, he didn't know that thanks to him, a new meme era rose up.
People started to caught famous people funny faces to make memes. Soon enough, we began to see Rihanna as the famous face for the thug and "bitch mood" memes. Likewise, we could see images from old movies or series like the John Travolta from Pulp Fiction meme gif. Therefore, anyone could be the target for the next meme trend.
No wonder why, TV series and films' fan pages started to use this strategy too. The entertainment industry realized that if any were the one creating trends, that would be themselves. Celebrities accepted the mocking trend, and they publish their memes making fun of themselves too. Thus, being the target of a meme was no longer an insult but a lucky chance. Ultimately, without any more preamble, we want you to see what's "in" on Meme's world.
1. Oscar's best picture
We thought we saw everything in this world when Steve Harvey named Miss Universe wrong. Indeed, we didn't expect something worse could happen. Sadly, it did, and it was a lot way worse. The Oscar Academy Award was responsible for a huge mistake in their more expected category. Somehow, they named La La Land best picture. Nevertheless, the real result pointed Moonlight as the true winner. Afterward, a lot of memes appeared with bad results, like this one below.
2. 13 Reasons Why
Completely out of the blue, Selena Gomez started to promote her production for Netflix. It's called 13 Reasons Why, and since the launch day, it became a success. The story goes around Hannah Baker, a teenager who committed suicide. Before her death, she left 13 radio tapes pointing the people and things that made her want to end her life. Therefore, the internet couldn't wait for, and memes like this one appeared. In this particular case, it's a mix between the also famous Salt Bae meme.
3. Proud Rainbow reaction on Facebook
If you live under a rock, we can tell you, this is Proud Month, and everyone joined it. Facebook and Instagram decided to show support and appreciation for the celebration. Therefore, they created a thing that became quickly famous. Yes, we're talking about the rainbow flag you see in every post now. Although many people know the significance, the use of this reaction became excessive. And, as a natural reaction, memes showed up.
4. Melania Trump
The first lady of the United States of America is a consistent target for memes. It seems like the Internet never gets enough from mocking her. Since the Harry Potter meme to her Michelle Obama speech. Therefore, you can find a lot of material on Instagram, so you can't choose just one. Unfortunately for here, people always find something new in her facial expressions, clothes, words, and so on.
5. The floor is
"The floor is" it's one of the newest trends that have everyone showing their fears. It started with a simple photo of a guy trying not to touch the floor next to a caption that begins with the phrase. Soon, we saw a lot of people not only creating more captions but recreating the picture. All kind of jokes came along, from personal issues to political and human rights. Furthermore, it became famous not just for English speakers but many languages.
6. Trump/Putin
We don't even know how to start describing this trend. Indeed, there's no need for an explanation. This trend is unstoppable since Donald Trump took the presidency. Even when he was still running, the first memes appeared. In fact, there are trends inside this trend, like "Tiny Trump." Also, the President Putin himself is worthy of his meme trend. So, they can say they're the president kings of Memeland.
7. Spotify playlist
Early this year, we started to see the first Spotify's playlist memes. Soon, it became famous. Everybody understood how to do it. It's as simple as picking a group of songs, which names build an entire phrase, as seen below. As any other meme, a caption comes along. This way, people could tell a hint to someone else or just made a playlist for fun. Did you do one?
8. Altered muppets
We know that this may seem a trend from past year. It became stronger during 2017. By now, we're very familiar with Kermit the Frog meme. Afterward, the entire muppet group also had their meme collection. Therefore, what started at 2016, now it's more powerful in 2017. Besides, what makes this trend accessible is the overrated situations they play, like you see below. So, next time you want to be a drama queen and overreact, use a muppet.
9. Trump's first order
President Trump is an easy target for meme creators around the world. Since he became elected, all the meme soldiers are ready to step in. As a result of his decisions, many people disagree and try to ridicule them. Therefore, for one of his presidential decisions, people took advantage of his image showing the signed document. Nevertheless, what people wanted to show less was the real paper. Instead, they drew all kinds of childish paintings over the white paper.
10. Roll Safe
He never imagined that his face would become one of the most famous memes in history. Or maybe he did! Anyway, we want to thank this man, because he acquitted us from the careless sin. Long gone are the days when we had to feel sorry for our actions. Now, we have the picture of this man to prove any decision we wanted to make, but we didn't, and "roll safely" through the path of life.
Believe us when we say it was hard only to pick 10 of them. Thence, you may think a lot that should be on this list. But, there's still a lot of months for the year to end. Soon, we will publish another list. So, you have to keep in touch with us. Also, you can comment which meme trend would you like to see!

Arrow: Season 1 Review
How was Oliver Queen's first year on the job?
By Jesse Schedeen
Posted: 20 May 2013 11:45 pm
Note: full spoilers for Arrow Season 1 follow.
After turning the story about Clark Kent's evolution from humble teenager to world's greatest hero into one of the most successful science fiction TV series of all time, what exactly do you do for an encore? The obvious answer would be a series about a young Bruce Wayne. Or maybe a crime procedural starring the men and women of the Gotham City Police Department. Instead, The CW gave us Arrow, a series that simultaneously explores Oliver Queen's first months as a vigilante hero and the painful hero's journey he undertook while stranded on a remote island. Even considering Green Arrow's popularity in Smallville and Justice League Unlimited, it wasn't the most obvious choice. Nor was it the choice many DC fans wanted. But ultimately, it was a choice that paid off.
It's rare for a new series to not encounter a few stumbling blocks in its early episodes, and Arrow was no exception. Early on, the show wore its influences on its sleeve too blatantly. It felt like an almost exact combination of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movies and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, with a dash of Lost thrown in for good measure. Ollie's origin arc shared much with Bruce Wayne's in Batman Begins. The combat, lighting, and even the various establishing shots of Starling City and Queen Manor were Nolan-esque. Meanwhile, the dynamic between Ollie, his best friend Tommy Merlyn, and said best friend's secretly villainous father were right out of the Spider-Man films. The question for the first half of the season was really whether the cast and crew could build a unique voice for the series, or if ultimately it was going to tread the same superhero ground we've all seen before.
To their credit, they succeeded. Even right off the bat, there were many notable elements that he writers introduced into the Green Arrow mythos. Generally a loner in the comics, here Ollie was given a full family and circle of allies. Some were inspired by characters from the comics, while others were entirely new creations. Probably the most successful new addition was John Diggle as Ollie's personal bodyguard-turned-ally in his war on crime. Watching the dynamic between Ollie and Diggle morph from cold and hostile to warm camaraderie was a treat. And the two sequences featuring Diggle in the costume rather than Ollie suggested that this show could have a life beyond that of its lead character.
Acting quality was another aspect the series struggled with initially and more or less overcame over the course of the season. For the most part, the actors seemed to need time to settle into their roles. Stephen Amell certainly had the physique to play Oliver Queen, a fact that the show rarely missed a chance to exploit. But at first he struggled both in summoning the right presence to become a convincing vigilante of the night and in channeling Ollie's billionaire playboy charm. The awkward voiceover narration that was interspersed in the early episodes didn't help. Fortunately, the producers seemed to respond to criticisms on that front, and the voiceovers disappeared after a few weeks. In general, Amell's performance grew stronger over time, and the subtle ways in which he distinguished his performances during the present-day and flashback scenes stood out.
With other characters, it was more a question of the scripts shedding light on motivation and relationships before they really came into their own. This was certainly the case with Moira Queen (Susanna Thompson), who was a bit of a hard sell as a sympathetic mother figure until viewers came to understand her role in "The Undertaking." Similarly, Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) came across as a fairly flat and unimportant character at first. But by the end of the season, Tommy had emerged as the emotional heart of the series and Donnell's one of the strongest performances.
There were others who were simply hit and miss. Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) was both endearing and annoying in her role as Ollie's brilliant but scatterbrained assistant. As Laurel, Katie Cassidy's ability to handle key emotional moments fluctuated, even within individual episodes in the case of the season finale. Both Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and Thea Queen (Willa Holland) were often more notable for their strange facial tics and expressions than anything else. But of the major characters, the only real disappointment was Jessica De Gouw's Helena Bertinelli.
Structurally, the season started out strong and finished even stronger. The writers managed to weave together an overarching narrative as Ollie slowly uncovered the truth of The Undertaking and his own parents' involvement while contending with various smaller villains and conflicts. Some of the "villains of the week" were annoyingly underdeveloped and forgettable, but this became less an issue as the plot centered more and more on the war between the Starling City vigilante and Malcolm Merlyn. The writers also dodged what seemed to be an early mistake in killing off Deadshot (Michael Rowe) by bringing the assassin back and using him to drive a wedge between Ollie and Diggle in "Dead to Rights" and "Home Invasion."
Anchoring the series throughout were the frequent flashbacks to Ollie's five years on the island. The pilot episode offered a tantalizing glimpse of what had transpired over the course of those five years with the Deathstroke mask discarded on the beach. Various plot twists revealed just how complicated that story is, teaming Ollie with Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) and Shado (Celina Jade) in an ongoing guerrilla war against mercenary leader Edward Fyers (Sebastian Dunn). Particularly once Slade entered the picture and his bond with Ollie became a major focal point, the flashbacks emerged as one of the strongest elements of the show. If anything, the relative lack of flashback material in the latter episodes became a point of contention. As much as the Ollie/Tommy dynamic in the present, the Ollie/Slade scenes illustrated the writers' willingness to push familiar characters in new and unexpected directions.
Everything in Season 1 culminated in two climactic episodes as Ollie fought for the survival of Starling City in the present and to stop Fyers from sparking an international incident in the past. These episodes offered a satisfying blend of big action scenes and emotional character showdowns. In particular, the final scene between Ollie and Tommy that closed out the season was perhaps the best the show has delivered so far.
In short, Arrow started out as a competent superhero drama and became something more memorable over the course of 24 episodes. But despite all that positive growth, there are still areas in which I'd like to see improvement in Season 2. More attention needs to be paid to minor characters, be they villains Count Vertigo and Deadshot or supporting players like McKenna Hall. The action presentation needs to be more consistent. Some episodes have strong fight choreography, while others are all fast motion and quick camera cuts. And the show could really do a better job as far as presenting Starling City as the sort of decaying urban wasteland the characters seem to think it is. The set design is certainly better and more varied than it was on later seasons of Smallville, but for the most part, the quiet, comfortably-lit locales of Starling City are less Gotham and more Metropolis.
And finally, it would be nice if the writers could agree on an actual name for Amell's vigilante hero. It's been made clear, both by the characters and the producers of Arrow, that they won't be using the "Green Arrow" name. But referring to Ollie as "The Hood" or "The Vigilante" just doesn't sit right. If Malcolm Merlyn can be "The Dark Archer," surely there's another option for our hero.

If Arrow didn't completely shed its rough qualities by the end of Season 1, it certainly improved to the point where most of the remaining complaints were minor at best. The series has already succeeded in reinvigorating the character and delivering a new saga that both pays homage to the source material and strikes new ground. Hopefully the higher-ups at WB are taking note as they pursue more TV adaptations of DC's heroes.

With the demand for better quality healthcare on the rise, consumers have certain expectations when they log in to view healthcare services online. If your healthcare service does not take into consideration these 5 key features of healthcare websites in 2018, the consumer/potential patient will browse on by without giving it a second glance. If you wish to provide top rated services and create high rankings of customer satisfaction, then it is important to have a website which will reflect your services and staff accurately.
When potential patients find your website, they will want to know a little about the professionals working there before they decide to book an appointment. It is important to have a current staff directory listing each professional and their speciality or field of expertise. Along with their name, have a short bio for each, to introduce them to clients and have them feel they know who they might be seeing to take care of their health concerns. Short reviews from patients are a great idea too, since trust and comfort are important in the healthcare field.
People move at a much faster pace today than ever before. Patients want to be able to book appointments when it is convenient for them, whether that be during office hours or at 2 a.m. when they are up with a sick baby. With the rise of the digital age, it is important to have an online appointment booking option on your healthcare website. This allows clients to see what is available anytime of the day or night and select what time slot works for their schedule.
Online appointment booking also means you will spend less on administrative time spent answering and/or returning calls to patients. You could simply download the daily appointment schedule and have it readily available to plan your case load for the day.
No one likes surprises when it comes to finances. If your website features pricing information for the services provided (or at least most of the services provided) then potential clients/patients will have the fore-knowledge about the financial commitment they are making when booking your services. Making informed choices gives clients a sense of control over their own situation. This is also helpful when clients are trying to stay within the perimeters of their insurance limits.
If you do not feel comfortable listing all your services and corresponding prices, you could list key services or the most commonly used services along with a disclaimer explaining that some pricing may vary if patients have special cases or extensive circumstances. This allows your business some flexibility with incurring liability.
It goes without saying that many people access the Internet most often from a mobile device. It is key that your website contain mobile-friendly content. There truly is nothing more frustrating from a consumer's perspective than logging in to get information, only to find out that the webpage you are trying to view is not available for mobile devices. Being accessible to potential and current patients means your services are visible anytime, anywhere and creates a positive customer experience immediately.
If you don't want to provide mobile content for every aspect of your website, you could have a specific website just for mobile use, which is less graphic intense and does not provide financial options such as payment online. You could allow users to view pricing and biographies, but payment options could be made only from desktop computers.
Healthcare is a business just like any other and as such, should have the option for customers/clients to pay for their services received online. You could add a shopping cart feature or allow clients secure access to their invoices to be paid after the fact. Patients could view how much has been paid by their insurance provider before making their own payments, therefore putting them in control of their own account.
This feature could also benefit your healthcare service by allowing patients to make a down payment prior to receiving services and securing their treatment date. This will help in preventing last minute appointment cancellations since clients will not want to forfeit their deposits.
Important to note about this feature is that security of your website is of the utmost importance. Patients should feel secure that their information, both financial and medical, will not be compromised through the worldwide web.
In days gone by, having a brick and mortar healthcare office was enough to have patients come in and use your services. However, times have quickly changed, and clients expect more from the businesses they hire, including healthcare providers. Digital presence is key to having a successful business and with these five key features of healthcare websites in 2018, you will ensure you are current, and convenient for your clients, both potential and current. To reach out to customers or potential customers use of push notification is a great option.

"Tackling the lack of provision for young people is crucial."
It's lunchtime on a chilly Friday afternoon and I'm outside a north Manchester high school as excited students stream out, finished for the week.
Amongst the mums, dads and carers are Lee and Adrian, two workers from the Mancunian Way youth charity, about to start their afternoon shift.
"So what's the idea?" I ask as the children disperse in all directions.
"The main aim is to tackle anti-social behaviour," says Lee. "In a little while we'll head up to the takeaway where they have their dinners. Then we'll make our way around the estate."
Lee and Adrian are part of the charity's Stay Safe programme funded – in this part of the city at least – by Forever Manchester's Fourteen programme.
It's a street-based scheme where, over time, youth workers build trust with local young people in targeted areas so they can offer advice and support when it's needed. As well as their Friday afternoon shift, Lee and Adrian are out on these streets on Tuesday evenings too.
"To be fair most of the issues we deal with are not from students of this school," explains Adrian as we walk towards the takeaway, "but with local kids who've been excluded. Even trying to hold a conversation is difficult, they only want to talk about criminality. All they're interested in is making money in the wrong way rather than staying in school.
"Many of the young people who are antisocial don't have a strong support structure at home," he continues. "Maybe there's a parent who's alcoholic, or in prison. So there are no boundaries.
"They're a victim of their environment?" I suggest.
"The parents aren't bothered. The kids can do what they want."
The takeaway is the only shop open in a row of shuttered properties in a derelict square.
I'm introduced to Paul, a 14-year-old student from the high school, who's already eaten and is on his way home.
"He plays in goal for Stoke City," says Lee by way of introduction, "and you've just been selected to play for England Under 15s, haven't you?"
Paul tells me how he was trialled by the Premiership club and now travels there three times a week for training. "So what have these two ever done for you?" I ask him, cheekily.
"No pressure now," jokes Lee, over my shoulder.
"They've given me lots of encouragement," says Paul, "they tell me to keep striving forward."
The takeaway is full to bursting with more young people forcing their way in to order their box of chicken or cone of chips. Two young lads, not in school uniform, come out and are greeted by Lee and Adrian. Their reply is not so polite.
After they've disappeared back into the estate Adrian explains they have recently been excluded and now attend a Pupil Referral Unit. "Sometimes you'll get some sense out of them and sometimes you won't," he says, "but they're always suspicious of new people."
"That's understandable," I say. "It must be reassuring though for these youngsters to have you around."
"They get used to seeing us," says Lee. "We're here week in, week out. Everyone knows why we are here. And every week we speak to someone new."
We wander towards the 3G football pitches where small groups are running after each other, burning off energy, being kids.
"If you had the resources," I ask, "what would you like to see happen for young people?"
"Getting them out of their comfort zones can be really inspiring," says Lee. "Many of these," he waves an arm, "have never left their own patch. Experiencing the outdoors can be especially rewarding."
"You've got to give young people hope," adds Adrian. "There has to be real opportunities for them. Without hope they will turn to alternative negative activities. So tackling the lack of provision for young people is crucial."

The Resource Henry David Thoreau : a life, Laura Dassow Walls
The item Henry David Thoreau : a life, Laura Dassow Walls represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in University of San Diego Libraries.
Walls, Laura Dassow
"Walden. yesterday I cam here to live." That entry from the journal of Henry David Thoreau, and the intellectual journey it began, would by themselves be enough to place Thoreau in the American pantheon. His attempt to "live deliberately" in a small woods at the edge of his hometown of Concord has been a touchstone for individualists and seekers since the publication of Walden in 1854. But there was much more to Thoreau than his brief experiment in living at Walden Pond. A member of the vibrant intellectual circle centered on his neighbor Ralph Waldo Emerson, he was also an ardent naturalist, a manual laborer and inventor, a radical political activist, and more. Many books have taken up various aspects of Thoreau's character and achievements, but, as Laura Dassow Walls writes, "Thoreau has never been captured between covers; he was too quixotic, mischievous, many-sided." Two hundred years after his birth, and two generations after the last full-scale biography, Walls renews Henry David Thoreau for us in all his profound, inspiring complexity. Drawing on Thoreau's copious writings, published and unpublished, Walls presents a Thoreau vigorously alive, full of quirks and contradictions: the young man shattered by the sudden death of his brother; the ambitious Harvard College student; the ecstatic visionary who closed Walden with an account of the regenerative power of the Cosmos. We meet the man whose belief in human freedom and the value of labor made him an uncompromising abolitionist; the solitary walker who found society in nature, but also found his own nature in the society of which he was a deeply interwoven part. And, running through it all, Thoreau the passionate naturalist, who, long before the age of environmentalism, saw tragedy for future generations in the human heedlessness around him. "The Thoreau I sought was not in any book, so I wrote this one," says Walls. The result is a Thoreau unlike any seen since he walked the streets of Concord, a Thoreau for our time and all time.--Dust jacket

Georgetown tests the case for reparations as political debate unfolds on 2020 campaign trail
by: ABC News
Posted: Apr 11, 2019 / 06:36 AM EDT / Updated: Apr 11, 2019 / 06:36 AM EDT
Georgetown University could become the first college in the nation to mandate a fee to benefit descendants of slaves sold by the university nearly 200 years ago — a debate that takes place against the backdrop of a broader political conversation unfolding on the 2020 presidential campaign trail about reparations.
The school's undergraduates will vote Thursday on a referendum to increase tuition by $27.20 a semester to create a fund to benefit descendants of the 272 slaves sold to pay off the Georgetown Jesuits' debt. The move saved the university financially.
"The Jesuits sold my family and 40 other families so you could be here," sophomore Melisande Short-Colomb, a Georgetown student, said during a town hall to discuss the controversial issue last week.
She's one of four students currently attending the university under an admissions policy that considers the descendants of the 272 slaves "legacy" students.
That group also includes Elizabeth Thomas, who will receive her master's degree from Georgetown University in May and is a desk assistant at ABC News in Washington. She's a descendant of Sam and Betsy Harris, who were enslaved and sold by Georgetown University in 1838. If the current referendum passes, it's unclear whether Thomas would receive any reparations in the future.
If it passes, the referendum would go into effect in fall 2021.

A week ahead of the vote, Short-Colomb joined 100 other students packed into Georgetown's Leavey Hall on campus as the gathering mulled the impact of the proposal.
"No one in this room was here in 1838 when this happened," Short-Colomb said. Still, she thinks the funds could help make amends for the university's slave-holding past.
"But we have a chance today to make a difference, so I'm going to pay my $54," she said, referring to the two semesters before she'd graduate.
A longstanding political debate
The conversation on the Washington campus reflects a larger discussion as reparations take the stage ahead of the 2020 election. A number of the Democratic presidential candidates have weighed in on the issue of reparations for African American descendants of slaves.
The issue of reparations isn't new. It's been contentiously refuted since the end of the Civil War. One of the earliest proposals came more than 150 years ago when a general suggested Confederate-owned land should be confiscated and divided up to provide the family of freed slaves 40 acres and a mule.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson supports a reparations measure, originally introduced by Rep. John Conyers and reintroduced in every Congress since 1989, aimed at creating a commission to "make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long delayed process of atonement for slavery."
The NAACP began collectively backing it in 2014. That year, journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote an essaysupporting reparations that garnered national attention.
"Here we are in 2019 talking about it again. It is a sore spot for this nation," Johnson told ABC News. "It is something that we must address, so we can get past this moment in time in a way in which the legacy of slavery, the legacy of segregation, the legacy of institutional racism can once in for all be done away with and we can all prosper as a nation as one whole community."
Last week, during Rev. Al Sharpton's annual National Action Network convention, the first major gathering of 2020 for those seeking the support of black voters, a number of presidential hopefuls, including former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, directly addressed the issue.
O'Rourke said he'd support H.R. 40, a measure re-introduced this year by Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and which could be a means to study the impact of slavery in a way that is "realistically forceful and effective to help African Americans who never had the issue of wealth that was inherited."
Other candidates supporting some form of reparations include Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Mass., New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg who said that as president he would support a reparations bill, which he sees as an issue of "inter-generational injustice."
The ideas for what reparations could look like are myriad.
California Sen. Kamala Harris on NPR recently floated the idea of studying the impact of "the effects of generations of discrimination and institutional racism and determine what can be done, in terms of intervention, to correct course."

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who spoke at the National Action Network last week, reiterated his support for Rep. Jim Clyburn's 10/20/30 plan, an effort the South Carolina congressman said aims to help counties that had a poverty level of more 20% for more than three decades. Those communities would then receive at least 10% of federal funds from a specific program.
Booker did not say whether he considered the measure a form of reparations. Clyburn, however, said the measure "absolutely" is.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders initially indicated that he would not support a reparations bill in Congress, saying on ABC's "The View," "I think that right now, our job is to address the crises facing the American people and our communities, and I think there are better ways to do that than just writing out a check."
However, at the conference he vowed to support the perennial reparations measure.
"If the House and Senate pass that bill, of course I would sign it," he said, adding that he thought there needed to be study about reparations.
Paying for sins of the past
The political discussion over reparations as a matter of policy comes as the university still struggles with its past. After news of Georgetown's slave sale surfaced, the university apologized. In April 2017, the school rededicated two buildings named after two former Jesuit University presidents who facilitated the sale.
Not all students are on board with the proposed tuition increase. The fee, which would rise with with inflation, raised red flags for some who attended the town hall.
Some who oppose it expressed concern as to where the money would be spent and how long they'd on the hook for paying. Several students noted they were working to support themselves and any additional costs won't be welcomed.
Others complained the referendum wasn't comprehensive enough.
Still others felt it's not the responsibility of the current generation to pay for sins of the past — a stance that's come up in previous political debates.
"It's unjust to compel 7,000-plus people to pay for the university's historical sins," said Haley Grande, sophomore in student leadership at the university student. "There is an obligation for Georgetown to reconcile its sins, and that obligation falls squarely on the institution."
ABC News' Justin Gomez and Armando Garcia contributed to this report.
