When William Butler Yeats wrote those words in his poem, "The Second Coming," he probably didn't think about how they would resonate with writers–or at least this writer. The line, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;" neatly describes a dilemma other writers have expressed to me, and certainly one I have struggled with occasionally.
1) I've gone too far, and set up too many leads, for it to be a short story. If I tried, it would have a contrived, truncated ending.
2) I have two subplots going that need to be developed fully, which isn't a problem if I can develop the main plot at the same time.
3) Something has to happen to avoid a dead stretch of narrative and go-nowhere dialogue.
In other words, the center needs to hold and not fall apart. Have you, as writers, found yourself in the same plight?
What if my proposed murderer isn't the one who committed the crime. What if I have to exercise my imagination and come up with an even better suspect?
What if another murder or crime occurs that throws the Detective Inspector totally off the trail and lays to waste all her theories?
What if what seemed to be a red herring really isn't?
What if I don't tenaciously hold on to my original plot (like the proverbial dog with a bone)? Separation anxiety aside, film writers have to do it all the time when the director or others insist on major changes.
What if the suspected murderer becomes a murder victim himself?
Expand one of the subplots to make it more dramatic, more relevant to the outcome, and tied in with the murder and/or the activities of the murderer.
Complicate the detective's life, either professionally or personally.
Have illness or injury to the detective (see my previous post) set back her inquiries and lead her to become too self-involved to note a vital clue.
Introduce a random act of nature that throws everyone into a disaster-survival mode for a short time.
If you have solved the problem of how to keep the center exciting and strong in your own stories or novels, I'd welcome your comments and share them with other writers.

Q: Topic about time and time telling People, I am still not satisfied with the answers because the answers that people gave me like e.g. you arrived at 10:10 and now is 12:50 and people keep telling me that it is normal to round up to 3 hours and say it happened 3 hours ago but for me it is really weird, I never used it like this and it feels not true to me. I do not know why.
If somebody told me during 12:50 that it happened 3 hours ago I would imagine it happened some time between 9:00 - 9:59.
That is why more logic seems more natural to me but I have not found a single person on this forum or other forums using it like me... When I want to tell how many hours ago it happened I normally do this process (now is 12:50 so I take 12 and I arrived at 10:10 so I take 10 and make 12-10 =2 so it happend two hours ago and I do not care about minutes. It just tells me it happened some time during 10:00-10:59) Do you understand what I am trying to say? Is really nobody using it like this?
For example, when somebody called you at 10 you do not mean he called you exactly at 10:00 but people mean by it sometime between 10:00-10:59.
And so I cannot imagine anybody saying at 12:50 that the person called me 3 hours ago. I would say 2 hours ago meaning sometime between 10:00-10:59.
Do people use it like this in casual speak? That they do not precisely count the minutes they just take hours and make operation like 12-10 and say 2. Though it can already be more than 120 minutes maybe even 170 but still less than 180 minutes.

A: You said

For example, when somebody called you at 10 you do not mean he called you exactly at 10:00 but people mean by it sometime between 10:00-10:59.

I would disagree. If someone called at 10:55, Most people would say they called at 11, not 10.
Here's an easy way to solve your issue that should match the way most people tend to round:
1. Round the starting and ending time to the nearest hour.
In your example, we round 12:50 to 1  and 10:10 to 10.
2. Calculate the difference.
There are 3 hours between 1 pm and 10 am. Thus the event happened 3 hours ago.
Note that this doesn't hold as strongly when something occurs at, for example, 5:30. Some people would round to 6 (similar to how one rounds 5.5 to 6 in math). Fewer people would round to 5 (this isn't actually formal math, so there are no strict rules). Personally, I would just use 5:30 (in fact, anything between 5:15 and 5:45 I would round to 5:30), and use that in the difference. The difference between 5:30 and 3 (as an example) is two and a half hours, which is coarse enough to use in casual conversation, but is a bit more accurate.
As a personal aside, I see you've asked multiple questions about this. It's really not that big of a deal, so don't stress yourself out too much. If you're not certain how people will interpret your time system, just use exact time. If it's 9:40 pm and something occurred at 6 pm, just say "It happened at 6 pm" rather than "It happened 3 (or 4) hours ago."

«Единственный исход злодейки — смерть» (англ. «Villains Are Destined to Die», кор. «악역의 엔딩은 죽음뿐») — романтическая манхва в жанре исекай, созданная на основе веб-новеллы «Смерть — единственный конец для злодейки», написанная Квон Гёыль (권겨을). Главным художником комикса выступает Суволь, известный под псевдонимом SUOL. Манхва состоит из нескольких томов и на данный момент находится в стадии выпуска, достигнув середины третьего тома, выходит на популярных платформах для чтения манги в онлайн формате регулярно 3 раза в месяц.
На русском языке манхва выпущена издательством «МИФ».

Сюжет
Сюжет комикса повествует о девушке, что перевоплотилась в персонажа популярной мобильной игры «Любовь принцессы» — в главную злодейку Пенелопу Экхарт. Пенелопу ненавидят, над ней издеваются и всё считают её пустышкой, что заняла место настоящей дочери герцога Экхарт. Сводные братья, отец, все жители Империи желают лишь одного — смерти. Любое неверное действие или слово приведёт к гибели, поэтому девушке необходимо завоевать сердце хотя бы одного из пяти мужчин - любовных интересов данной игры.

Персонажи

Пенелопа Экхарт
«Я буду начинать сначала… Снова и снова. Я должна выжить во что бы то ни стало!»Пенелопа была злодейкой в отомэ-игре «Любовь принцессы». Пенелопа — приемная дочь герцога Экхарт: она — самозванка, заменившая настоящую дочь герцога — Ивонн, что пропала в раннем детстве. О раннем детстве Пенелопы, до вхождения в семью герцога Экхарт, известно не так уж и много. Она родилась простолюдинкой без фамилии, её мать была бедной торговкой и скончалась от болезни когда Пенелопе было 12 лет. Вскоре после этого герцог удочерил её, однако слуги и сводные братья сразу же невзлюбили её.
У неё были очень плохие отношения с членами семьи, слуги издевались над ней и кормили вместо еды мусором, из-за чего девочка выросла с комплексами и злобным характером. В обычном режиме игры Пенелопа погибает во всех концовках. Однако теперь в её теле находится другая душа — молодая кореянка, которая в своём мире внезапно погибла. Героиня помнит свою прошлую жизнь и помнит игру, в которой оказалась; однако до своей смерти она так и не смогла пройти сложный режим игры, в котором необходимо играть за Пенелопу. В реальной жизни у героини были похожие семейные проблемы, и поэтому она симпатизирует Пенелопе.

Пенелопа описана как молодая, красивая девушка. Ей 17 лет в начале повествования, перед балом по случаю ее совершеннолетия. У нее пурпурные волосы, мягкими волнами спускавшиеся до бедер, а кончики челки кажутся гораздо более бледно-розовыми. Ее глаза бирюзовые, с синим градиентом сверху и зеленым снизу.

Будучи приемной дочерью герцога, она носила одежду, подобающую дворянке, однако многие дворяне критиковали ее стиль за то, что он был слишком экстравагантным.

Критика
Рецензенты отмечают драматичность подачи истории и психологическую напряжённость, которая возникает из-за того, что проблемы Пенелопы перекликаются с семейной драмой героини, которая попала на её место. Яркие иллюстрации Суволь создают романтическую атмосферу. В качестве недостатков указывается на то, что героиня использует своё аристократическое положение для того, чтобы унижать и «ставить на место» нижестоящих, что не всегда вызывает сочувствие. В целом манхва показывает нестандартный подход к жанру исекай и может послужить интересным образцом манхвы для незнакомого с ней читателя.
В 2020 году манхва заняла второе место среди комиксов Kakao Page (в голосовании участвовали свыше 850 тысяч читателей).

What If People (And Not 'Things') Are Actually Your Silver Lining?
By Kovie Biakolo, January 11th 2016
beatriceong
Somali-British poet, Warsan Shire, who is one of my favorite contemporary writers, has a poem titled, "For Women Who Are Difficult To Love." In it, she has some of the most earnest perspectives on what it's like to be that kind of woman. My favorite line is the ending which I keep as a screensaver on my phone: "You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, something not everyone knows how to love."
Sometimes people notice my phone screensaver, and ask to read it. Whenever I hand it over, I wonder if it comes across like I'm advertising that I am all of those things –terrifying, strange, and beautiful. And then I wonder if this is true, does it give the impression that I'm some sort of masochist? Whenever I get follow-up questions about these words, oftentimes, asking whether they describe me, I respond with, "I don't know. Sometimes I feel like they do." That's good enough for some people. But for people who want more, I go on to say, "Mostly, it's a reminder to love terrifying and strange and beautiful people too." At this point, if someone had misjudged me as a masochist, they might either find it profound or pretentious. In these times (perhaps, in all times) of seemingly greater connection and yet less sincerity, isn't there a fine line between pretentiousness and profoundness anyway? Nevertheless, I digress.
In Shire's poem, she also has a line that states, "You can't make homes out of human beings…" The first time I read these words, I felt like someone had slapped me in the face. Not a harsh slap, but the kind of slap that wakes you up from a certain kind of slumber, and the world now seems to make more sense than it did before you fell asleep. I think about these words often, especially in the context of my personal view that one should love things, places, and people, without becoming attached to them. In fact, I would argue that attachment to things, places, and people, does not only come with a certain kind of immorality, it does not give you the space and the presence of mind to love and accept them for what they are. Mostly because you can't see anything clearly when you're attached to it.
But I fell in love with a song recently that has made me do some thinking or rethinking of these ideas. It's by Jacob Banks, 24, who is a British singer-songwriter. The song is called, "Silver Lining" and do give it a listen. Because I have such a hard time picking my favorite lines from the songs, however, the following are the first and second verse, followed by the chorus:
I'm a wrecking ball at best
A big house with empty photographs
You are my only souvenir
You are my silver lining
I'm that song that no one ever knows
A big load to deliver, no one's home
You're the reason I am never letting go
I'm a train about to crash
But you take me as I am
Through it all, I know the sun will rise again
Much like Shire, Banks gives us this idea that he experiences an awareness of being a difficult person – to be exact, "a wrecking ball at best." And indeed they both give this perspective that one has to accept what they see and who they are; one has to be honest about it. Unlike Shire however, who doesn't want to find a home in people, Banks is singing of a person who is his relief in the world – his silver lining.
Now I do not think that Banks and Shire are arguing about the same precise idea, so perhaps it is unfair to parallel their words against each other. But I do think that in comparing Shire's words against Banks' words, one can reconcile the feeling of being seemingly alone in the world, of feeling sometimes too demanding of the world, and of one's self; feeling lonely, and sometimes entirely misunderstood – with the feeling that there are still people we can turn to who see us, and love us.
It's part of our social conditioning to think of homes as places, but it's also part of our romanticization of love, any kind of love, to think of homes as people too. Like Shire, I find myself weary of this notion. But like Banks, I think it is a beautiful perspective to think of our silver linings not as things that may come and go, and that are dependent on circumstance. And not as places that we may come and go from. But people – good, wonderful people; our people.
What does it mean when your silver lining is a person? It means, I think, that the love you share, whatever kind of love it is, is first of all, honest. Honest in the sense that who you are fundamentally, is not only accepted but cherished. It means that when you feel the world is cruel and unfair, you find solace in the knowledge that there is someone who will always meet you with compassion. It means that whether you feel lonely or lost or afraid or anxious, you know that you always have a shoulder to cry on, or simply a shoulder to rest your weary body. It means that even in those times or maybe especially in those times you feel like a difficult person in the world, which might be all the time, you know that you're still loved; loved of course, by your silver lining(s).

Q: Unable to separate rows of a table using react code I am trying to create a table with multiple rows and fixed columns. Right now I have added two rows with fixed 5 columns.Below is the code.
import React from 'react'

class Table extends React.Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props)
        this.state = {
            columns: [
                {
                    person1: "Shubham",
                    person2: "Nikhil",
                    person3: "Rishabh",
                    person4: "Piyush",
                    last: <button>Delete</button>
                },
                {
                    person1: "Manish",
                    person2: "Nikhil",
                    person3: "Harsh",
                    person4: "Shashank",
                    last: <button>Delete</button>
                }
            ]
        }
    }

    render(){
        return(

                {
                    this.state.columns.map((obj) => {
                        return Object.values(obj).map(
                            (value) => {
                                return value +" "
                            }
                        ) + "\n\n"
                     })
                 }

        )
    }
}

export default Table

My expected output is :

Shubham Nikhil Rishabh Piyush (delete button)
Manish Nikhil Harsh Shashank (delete button)

but I am getting:

Shubham ,Nikhil ,Rishabh ,Piyush ,[object Object] Manish ,Nikhil
  ,Harsh ,Shashank ,[object Object]

Why "\n" is not working here.  Also notice if I remove all spaces addition to return statement button appears, I couldn't figure why this is happening.

A: How about the code below? I dropped the delete keys from your object (as it's duplicated code) and factored the rendering logic a little to simplify. I also added the functionality to delete rows when users click the delete button in each row:
import React, { Component } from 'react';

class Table extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.deleteRow = this.deleteRow.bind(this)
    this.state = {
      columns: [
        {
          person1: 'Shubham',
          person2: 'Nikhil',
          person3: 'Rishabh',
          person4: 'Piyush',
        },
        {
          person1: 'Manish',
          person2: 'Nikhil',
          person3: 'Harsh',
          person4: 'Shashank',
        }
      ]
    }
  }

  deleteRow(idx) {
    this.setState({
      columns: this.state.columns.filter((col, colIdx) => colIdx !== idx)
    })
  }

  render() {
    return(

        {this.state.columns.map((obj, idx) => (
          <Row key={idx}
            idx={idx}
            data={obj}
            deleteRow={this.deleteRow} />
        ))}

    )
  }
}

const Row = props => {
  return (

      {getNames(props.data)}
      <button onClick={props.deleteRow.bind(null, props.idx)}>
        Delete
      </button>

  )
}

const getNames = obj => {
  let string = '';
  Object.keys(obj).map((key) => string += obj[key] + ' ')
  return string;
}

export default Table;

This renders:

Addendum: Why was your code not working?
Your main rendering logic revolved around the following loop:
{
  this.state.columns.map((obj) => {
      return Object.values(obj).map(
          (value) => {
              return value +" "
          }
      ) + "\n\n"
   })
}

This can be rewritten more compactly as:
{this.state.columns.map((obj) => (
  Object.values(obj).map((value) => value +" ") + "\n\n"
))}

Here you examine each object in this.state.columns, and for each of those objects, you add the object's values to a string, then add \n\n after adding the last value for the object.
There are two problems with this approach. The first problem is that while \n\n creates breaking whitespace in other programming paradigms (e.g. when building a string to be displayed in a .txt file), \n does not create breaking whitespace in HTML. Breaking whitespace in HTML can be created with a
 element, or by giving an element display: block, or in other ways, but not with \n.
The second problem is that the last value in each object within this.state.columns is an HTML element, and needs to be handled differently than the raw string content in other values. As @Ankari shows, you can display these button elements by calling {val} for each of those values, which will prevent the [Object,Object] problem you were seeing at the end of each of your rows.
I hope this helps!

A: You can let a real HTML table do the job for you. You can keep the data in state and add more data as needed, also have custom buttons as you wish.
You can style the table as you need it to look using css then.

class Table extends React.Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props)
        this.state = {
            columns: [
                {
                    person1: "Shubham",
                    person2: "Nikhil",
                    person3: "Rishabh",
                    person4: "Piyush",
                    last: <button>Delete</button>
                },
                {
                    person1: "Manish",
                    person2: "Nikhil",
                    person3: "Harsh",
                    person4: "Shashank",
                    last: <button>Delete</button>
                }
            ]
        }
    }

    render(){
        return(

              {this.state.columns.map((column, idx) => (

                    {Object.values(column).map((val, idx2) => (
                      <td key={`${idx}-${idx2}`}>{val}
                    ))}

              ))}

        )
    }
}

Bielsko: Salwatoriańskie Stowarzyszenie Hospicyjne
SSH is a voluntary organisation that built the first residential hospice in Bielsko, a town of 175,000 inhabitants. Planning began in 2002 and after overcoming many challenges the hospice finally opened its doors in October 2016. All funding for the hospice has come from donations.
The hospice will provide accommodation for 30 patients, together with medical rooms, a rehabilitation suite, a palliative care day surgery, a chapel and rooms for visiting families.
To date, the Alina Foundation has donated:
in 2011, a small contribution to the costs of construction and a medical suction pump;
in 2012, a cheque for £3000 to support construction of the hospice;
in 2013, after the hospice was named the John Paul II Hospice, a cheque for £1000 to support the fit-out of the hospice, and a statue of John Paul II by an artist from Brzozów, which was donated by the Brzozów hospice;
in 2014, a cheque for £1000 to support the fit-out of the hospice; and
in 2016, two oxygen concentrators.
"Thank you very much for what you have done for Polish hospices."
"The directors of the hospice sincerely thank you for the donation towards the construction of the St John Paul II hospice. This hospice will become a living testament to the most beautiful human feelings: love for others, patience, generosity and hope, becoming at the same time the realisation of the spiritual legacy of its Patron."
- Grażyna Chorąży, President

Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed) is a private medical school in Kalamazoo, Michigan. WMed was established in 2012 and confers the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree, as well as Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree and the Master of Science in Medical Engineering degree. WMed is a collaboration between Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo's two teaching hospitals, Ascension Borgess (formerly Borgess Health) and Bronson Healthcare. The inaugural class of 54 students started in August 2014.

Although affiliated with the public Western Michigan University, WMed is administratively a private nonprofit school under a separate corporate charter, supported by private gifts, clinical revenue, student tuition, and endowment income.  In March 2011, Western Michigan University received a gift of $100 million for the medical school from the Stryker family. In 2018, WMed was granted full accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), graduated its first class of 48 students, and all graduates were matched to residency programs across the nation.

Campus
WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine is housed in eight locations in Kalamazoo, Michigan including a medical education facility on Portage Street in downtown Kalamazoo, and clinical sites on Oakland Drive, the Family Health Center on Paterson Street, and on the Borgess Medical Center Campus on Shaffer Street. The home of the new medical school includes WMed Health, a modern 60,000 square foot clinical building on the Oakland Drive Campus, and a seven-story 350,000 square foot educational building in downtown Kalamazoo that was donated by MPI Research. Located on the new W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus, the educational building underwent a $68 million renovation and expansion project and opened in June 2014. The second phase of renovations completed in 2016 provides basic science laboratory research space and equipment. In 2019, the renovation of an unfinished portion of the seventh floor of the W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus allowed for Department of Pathology faculty, staff, laboratories, and resources to be housed together, a move meant to improve efficiency and address space constraints in the department's role in providing forensic pathology services for several Michigan counties. The renovation also provided room for the growth of anatomy education, resident and fellow training, and research.

History
The city of Kalamazoo, Michigan has a history in education, health care, research and life science exploration – all of which are assets for the development of a new medical school. Recognizing these assets, in 2007 the new president of Western Michigan University, John M. Dunn, challenged the community to consider the possibility of developing a medical school during his first academic convocation and state of the university address that October. Dunn's address sparked community interest and within six weeks a Medical School Feasibility Committee was formed. Consultants were retained to conduct detailed feasibility assessments in 2008 with funding provided by the local Kalamazoo Community Foundation. By January 2009, the feasibility studies confirmed what Dunn had observed during his short time in southwest Michigan – Kalamazoo has substantial existing assets and the necessary building blocks for developing an outstanding medical school.

With a commitment of collaboration from Western Michigan University, Ascension Borgess, and Bronson Healthcare, the medical school moved from merely an idea to a planned approach for the development of Western Michigan University School of Medicine (WMed). In November 2009, an anonymous donation of $1.8 million was made to support efforts to plan for the new medical school. A committee composed of the chief executive officers of Borgess Health, Bronson Healthcare, and the president of Western Michigan University began to meet regularly to guide the development process. In 2010, WMed was awarded Applicant Status by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, a search committee was developed to recruit the school's founding dean, and Jack Luderer, MD was named interim dean. A Steering and Visioning Committee, later renamed the Institutional Setting Committee, included a broader group of the senior leadership of the three organizations. Following a national search with multiple on-site interviews of the candidates, Hal B. Jenson, MD, MBA was named as the founding dean of Western Michigan University School of Medicine in January 2011 and began March 22, 2011.

In March 2011, WMed received a $100 million anonymous cash gift. At the time, this anonymous gift was the largest ever made to a Michigan college or university, and the 15th largest cash gift in the history of American higher education. The gift proceeds remain invested in a dedicated reserve and both the investment return and principal are available for the unrestricted use of WMed.

December 8, 2011 marked another major milestone in the history of WMed. At the WMU Board of Trustees meeting, William U. Parfet, the chairman and chief executive officer of MPI Research and the great-grandson of W.E. Upjohn, donated to WMU a 330,000 square foot building located in downtown Kalamazoo that serves as the home of WMed. This property, which is on the original plot of land acquired by W.E. Upjohn to begin the Upjohn Co., housed at the very research facility where Motrin, Xanax, Halcion, Rogaine, and Zyvox were discovered. Locally known as Pfizer Building 267, the property is adjacent to Bronson and only three miles from Borgess, two miles from WMU, and the WMed Oakland Drive campus.

On October 12, 2012, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of the new medical school building on the W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus, which opened in June 2014, two months prior to the arrival of WMed's first medical school class in August 2014. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Dean Jenson announced that WMed was granted preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, an important step, as WMed moves forward to recruit its first class of medical students.

WMed has more than 200 resident physicians training in the following residency programs: Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Medicine-Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry, along with fellowships in EMS, Forensic Pathology, Hospice and Palliative Care, Simulation, and Sports Medicine. WMed has used electronic medical patient records since 2002 and provides a state-of-the-art Simulation Center for resident and medical student training that is one of the largest in the country.

On March 11, 2014, the University announced that the school would be named in honor of Dr. Homer Stryker, the Kalamazoo orthopedic surgeon and medical device innovator who founded the Stryker Corporation. At the same time it was announced that the original $100 million gift for the foundation of the school had been donated by Stryker's granddaughter, Ronda Stryker, and her husband, William Johnston.

SMAHEC and Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (MSU/KCMS)
In 1946, the Upjohn Company, the Kalamazoo Foundation and the W.E. Upjohn Trustee Corporation contributed to a grant establishing the first graduate medical education program in Kalamazoo: a residency in internal medicine at Bronson Methodist Hospital. Shortly thereafter, Borgess Medical Center began its internship and residency training programs.

For many years, Borgess and Bronson independently offered numerous internship and residency programs. In 1966, the first joint residency between hospitals - the Orthopaedic Surgery Program - was created.

The selfless contributions of people like Dr. Curtis Hanson, who proposed this program and subsequently served 24 years as the Orthopaedic Residency Program chief, created a rich heritage for the medical community in Kalamazoo. Given the success of the ortho residency and a shared desire to strengthen graduate medical education in Kalamazoo, in 1973 both hospitals agreed to form a joint venture, non-profit organization devoted to medical education: the Southwestern Michigan Area Health Education Center (SMAHEC).  SMAHEC's corporate structure was not conducive to responding to national changes in health care. In 1989, the organization restructured, with the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University added as a corporate partner, and reemerged under a new name: Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (MSU/KCMS)

In 1994, the clinics and administrative offices, which had been scattered throughout the city, came together under one roof.

The MSU/KCMS Board of Directors approved the merger of the institution into WMed effective July 1, 2012. Under the terms of the merger, all MSU/KCMS operations, programs, personnel and facilities are wholly merged into and become part of WMed. This merger included the clinical education and patient care programs, administrative functions, 223 staff, 200 residents and 61 full-time employed faculty. In addition, there are more than 420 clinical faculty members as physicians in the community who volunteer their time and extend the educational experiences for medical students and residents into their private offices.

Kalamazoo's two health systems – Ascension Borgess and Bronson Healthcare – have decades of collaboration in providing undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education in Kalamazoo. Indeed, Kalamazoo has lacked only the first two years of medical school.  The senior leaders from both health systems, along with the president of WMU, recognized that a medical school best positions southwest Michigan to provide the latest care to patients and remain a leader in health care for generations to come. A medical school culture fosters medical advancement as faculty are actively engaged in the discovery and moving medical care forward while the best medical students catalyze the system through youthful inquisitiveness. A medical school attracts the intellectual talent that Kalamazoo and the region require to remain competitive. Stryker, Pfizer, MPI Research, Perrigo, and the younger life science start-up companies best illustrate the local culture of innovation and discovery. But there is a need for the continuous infusion of new talent and innovation to be competitive in the global marketplace. A medical school provides this foundation.

Effective July 1, 2012, the MSU/KCMS organization was merged into medical school. The merger included clinical education and patient care programs, administrative functions, faculty, staff, and significant infrastructure. In 2014 The school welcomed the 54 students into its first class, Class of 2018.

Accreditation

Medical school
In 2012, WMU School of Medicine was granted preliminary accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the national accrediting body for educational programs leading to the MD degree. The LCME determined that the medical school met the standards outlined in the LCME document, "Guidelines for New and Developing Medical Schools." This was important because the medical school was able to continue with its development efforts, to recruit students, and to accept applications for its first class that started in August 2014.

In 2018, WMU School of Medicine was granted full accreditation status by the LCME.

Graduate medical education
Residency programs at WMed are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Continuing education
Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine Office of Continuing Education (CE) is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide interprofessional continuing education for the healthcare team.

Are you a radical follower of Jesus? Does your lifestyle look different to most people? Or does your life look like everyone else's, but with a sprinkling of Jesus on the side? Could Salvation Army soldiership help? What role does The Salvation Army soldier covenant play?
Then he said to them all, 'If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. (Luke 9:23 NRSVA).
That's pretty radical, isn't it? Jesus goes on to talk about losing our lives for his sake. There are no half measures here! Our lifestyle should be totally different to those who do not follow Jesus. We must do (or not do) whatever it takes to deny ourselves – our wants and preferences – take up our cross and learn to live like Jesus did, totally focused on the mission and purpose God had given him.
I will be responsive to the Holy Spirit's work and obedient to His leading in my life, growing in grace through worship, prayer, service and the reading of the Bible. I will make the values of the Kingdom of God and not the values of the world the standard for my life.
Wow! The Salvation Army soldier covenant really is radical. If every Salvationist (including me) truly lived up to The Salvation Army soldier covenant, then we would be fulfilling Jesus' command to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him.
It would mean always being obedient to the Holy Spirit, whatever he asks us to do or not do.
It means engaging in worship, prayer, Bible study and service in ways that help us to grow into spiritual maturity.
It would mean letting go of what the world values and embracing Kingdom values instead.
It would mean checking our every thought, every word spoken and every action and behaviour to ensure there was nothing unworthy, unclean, untrue, profane, dishonest or immoral in our lives.
It would mean loving everyone I come into contact with. Not just those I find easy to love, but the unlovable too, including (according to Jesus) my enemies.
It means being faithful in our marriages and family lives.
It would mean I am not free to spend my time, gifts and money, nor use my possessions as I like. I have to be accountable to God for them.
It means abstaining from all enslaving substances and habits, recognising that in some things, partaking of them "in moderation" isn't radical enough in this day and age. Some things are potentially too enslaving not to deny them and take up my cross, however much I might want them.
It means being one hundred per cent devoted to saving souls, growing saints and serving suffering humanity.
It means being actively involved in my local Salvation Army corps (church) and giving as large a proportion of my income as possible to its work. Tithing is not for the Salvationist! Radically, William Booth suggested starting at 10 per cent. and going upwards from there!
It will mean being true to the principles and practices of The Salvation Army and loyal to its leaders, however frail it and they might sometimes seem.
Is The Salvation Army soldier covenant radical enough for you? It certainly looks different to the average 21st century lifestyle. To the extent I follow it and live it out it prevents my life from becoming like everyone else's but with a sprinkling of Jesus on the side. It certainly helps me deny myself, and it is the best way I know to take up my cross. What about you?
You can listen to the Bible Message podcast this post is connected to here.
Denying ourselves is radical in itself. Man is by his nature ego centered. Without salvation, the sun, moon and stars rotate around me, I. By God's grace alone, through Christ we can be saved. Then only if we empty ourselves and are filled anew by the Holy Spirit, on a daily basis, submerging ourselves to the will of God, are we able to deny ourselves. This is what the Soldier Covenant asks of us, to be a disciple of Christ and a servant in His army. It is my prayer that all churches would follow the Lord's model, and be disciple makers.
Thanks Vince. Absolutely it is, which is why I think self-denial may well be The Salvation Army's gift to the world. Thanks for engaging.
Thanks, Rob. Please continue to post, what I've read so far, is engaging and thought provoking.
Thanks for the encouragement, Vince. I will!
Again a well thought out post, challenging written.
Thanks for your feedback, Susan.

← Fantastic Friday: Byrne, baby, Byrne
Fantastic Friday: A god named Skip →
Fantastic Friday: Dead man talkin'
Rereading the Fantastic Four comics from the start. In issue #233, John Byrne is already trying some experimental storytelling, with this only his second issue as writer/artist.
The issue begins with some dark atmosphere as we're introduced to Deeden prison, a "hellhole" that most people have never heard of. Inside, George David Munson is on death row, and about to be executed. He's all emotional, saying that although he's done terrible things in the past, he's innocent of the crime that put him in jail. Just before going to the chair, Munson talks to a priest, and leaves behind a letter addressed to Johnny Storm, the Human Torch.
The priest later arrives at the Baxter Building, to deliver the letter in person. Sue meets him in the lobby, and walks him through the building's security to get up to the FF's headquarters. Once there, they're interrupted by Ben and Johnny bickering. They fight for a couple of pages, for an old-fashioned "excuse for the characters to show off their powers for new readers" thing. The priest, who we finally learn is named Father Vito, gives Johnny the letter. In it, Munson explains that he knew Johnny back in high school and now he wants Johnny to clear his name. Johnny remembers being bullied by Munson, and says he'll look into it.
Johnny travels to Glennvile, which is where we're told he went to high school. He checks in with the local courthouse, and goes over the facts of the case. We get a flashback to Munson's crime, told wordlessly in black-and-white panels. It was a robbery that went wrong, and Munson was accused of killing someone as he fled the scene. There were fingerprints and eyewitnesses saying he did it, but Johnny can't figure out why a two-bit thug like Munson would have used a silencer.
Johnny investigates at the liquor store where the crime happened, but the store manager refuses to cooperate. When the manager sneaks away to a pay phone at night, Johnny corners him. The man tries to burn a piece of paper he has on him, but Johnny controls the fire and saves the paper. He takes it back to New York, where Reed's high-tech, futuristic computer can identify the number. (Reed invented caller ID!) The number leads to a warehouse in NYC's Garment District, where Johnny attacks a bunch of crooks. Johnny "interrogates" one of them by burning off half of his hair, until the guy gives up an address.
Johnny flies to the address, a fancy skyscraper penthouse. It's owned by the Maggia (a.k.a. the Marvel Universe's version of the mafia) and inside is weirdly-disfigured crime boss Hammerhead. He has a plan to unite all the Maggia families under his leadership. Johnny interrupts, demanding info about Munson. Hammerhead has a bunch of death traps in the room, but they're designed to trap Spider-Man and not the Torch, so Johnny easily escapes them. Hammerhead then reveals that he's wearing an exoskeleton that gives him super strength. He and Johnny fight for a few pages. Johnny has him overpowered, but Hammerhead escapes in the end.
The police arrive and arrest all of Hammerhead's Maggia pals. A detective praises Johnny's detective work, but Johnny says he "fudged up," because he still has no evidence to clear Munson's name. The detective says Daredevil recently gave the cops all of the Kingpin's criminal records. Because, in the Marvel Universe, the Kingpin somehow benefits from every single crime in New York. We abruptly cut to an epilogue, where Johnny meets Munson's mother at Munson's grave. Johnny explains that the murder was really committed by the liquor store manager, a man with Maggia ties, who killed the former manager so the Maggia could take over the store. The manager has been arrested, and Mrs. Munson tells Johnny he is a hero.
Unstable molecules: Reed has installed new security measures at the Baxter Building, including voice recognition and bio-scans of anyone in the building, to confirm that visitors don't match any of the FF's known enemies.
Fade out: Sue debuts a new, shorter hairstyle in this one. Sue's hair will continue to be an ongoing minor controversy throughout Byrne's run.
Clobberin' time: Ben is mad at Johnny because Johnny snuck a photo of Christopher Reeve in his room, with a note saying that's what heroes are supposed to look like. So, DC Comics and/or the Superman movie exist in the Marvel Universe?
Flame on: At the courthouse, Johnny verifies his identity by demonstrating his powers with fire tricks, instead of, say, showing a driver's license. Perhaps Tony Stark really was onto something with that whole registration thing.
Commercial break: I wonder why more advertisements aren't this obviously hand-written:
Trivia time: This issue follows up on two other Marvel stories. Hammerhead was presumed dead after his helicopter crashed in Amazing Spider-Man #159, and Daredevil stole the Kingpin's financial records in Daredevil #172. When Hammerhead next appears, in Power Man and Iron Fist #92, he's already been apprehended by police and headed for jail.
More importantly, this issue's Bullpen Bulletins page is the first appearance of… Puzzle Man! He was supposed to be the "star" of the Marvel Fun and Games comic, which, to my knowledge, was never released. So we never got to see Puzzle Man in his full glory. I like to think he's running around somewhere in the Marvel Universe, solving cruciverbalist-related crimes.
Fantastic or frightful? I get it, mysteries are tough. Writing a mystery is both a specific skill and a specific mindset. This is a good attempt at a mystery, but it's just that — an attempt. Still, it shows how a good writer can come up with challenges for a super-powered main character. These fights are no sweat for Johnny, but solving the case really tests him in ways we've rarely seen. The artwork is where the issue really shines, from the super-creepy prison opening to Johnny using his powers in creative ways. Overall, we can file this issue under "interesting experiment."
Next week: Hey, where's Jack?

State Senate Leader Has New Healthcare Plan
As the debate over how to cover the estimated six million uninsured Californians heats up, the state Senate leader has jumped in with a plan of his own. It would cover roughly four million of those currently without insurance
By Marianne Russ
Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata says the principle is familiar: Just as all drivers must have car insurance, all working Californians would be required to have health insurance. His plan would require both workers and employers to contribute to the coverage. The Democrat says shared responsibility makes economic sense:
"If you want to leave morality at the door, if you wanted to leave the best practices of medicine at the door and just want to walk through this on the politics of economics, you'd come right in and take a front row seat."
Perata says the plan would cost five to seven billion dollars a year – and would require no new state spending. The National Federation of Independent Business says the mandate would hurt small businesses. In a statement, Governor Schwarzenegger said he's encouraged that Perata is bringing ideas to the table. The Governor is expected to announce his own plans next month.

Filmmakers have until September 23, 2013 to submit.
TORONTO, CANADA, April 2, 2013– The EstDocs Documentary Film Festival in Toronto is now accepting domestic and international submissions for the Short Documentary Film Competition. The complete EstDocs festival will run from October 18 -22, 2013.
The prize for the competition is generously sponsored by the Estonian Student's Society and Tartu College. There is $2,500 CAD in prizing and the maximum single prize is $1000 CAD.
"EstDocs short films resonate with audiences; we notice this year after year. Each time we view a film submission, we are transported into a unique tale, interpreted from the filmmaker's lens," said Tauno Mölder, Short Documentary Film Competition Director. "The short film competition continues to gain momentum on an international scale, last year's instant viral hit 'Kati and Me' proved that one can create a film about Estonians and not be of Estonian descent, nor does one have to be Estonian to appreciate the beauty of the story which is presented."
The theme for this year's competition is "An Estonian Tale". Participants are encouraged to submit a short film based on their interpretation of the assigned theme.
The entry form and guidelines for the Short Film Competition are available on the website www.EstDocs.com. Past competition submissions are available for viewing at Youtube.com/EstDocsTO .
The EstDocs Short Film Competition continues to be the only international short film contest of its kind to focus on Estonian-themed content. Entrants may submit films by mail for the September 23, 2013 deadline. The maximum length for films is seven minutes, excluding credits. Winning submissions and honorary mentions will be announced and screened in Toronto film venues for EstDocs audiences.
Films should be submitted on DVD in NTSC or PAL format. Filmmakers may submit multiple entries, but each film requires a separate entry form. Each film must be submitted separately (on a separate DVD).
EstDocs is a not-for-profit Estonian Documentary film festival and competition held in Toronto that presents the unheard stories from the Baltic nation of Estonia. Its mission is to provide a 360 perspective on Estonian history, politics, arts, culture and more. During the past eight years EstDocs has raised the profile of up-and-coming filmmakers and has had the pleasure of featuring the country's top internationally recognized filmmakers. All public screenings are either in English or have English subtitles.
EstDocs is presented by Tartu College, whose mandate is to study and promote culture through the literature, music and art of minority nationalities in Canada, particularly those of the Baltics. Find us @EstDocs on Twitter and on Facebook.

Olivier Charbonneau (né en France, dans la région de Marans, en Aunis, Charente-Maritime, vers 1613 ; mort sur l'Île de Montréal le 20 novembre 1687), est un pionnier de Ville-Marie (aujourd'hui, Montréal), en Nouvelle-France, et le premier habitant de l'Île Jésus (aujourd'hui, ville de Laval), et l'ancêtre patronymique de quelque   vivant aujourd'hui en Amérique du Nord, ainsi que (par Anne, sa fille aînée) de tous les . Outre l'importance démographique de sa descendance, son rôle en Nouvelle-France, à l'époque, est aujourd'hui reconnu en Amérique du Nord, dont au Québec.

Seulement deux colons de ce nom seraient venus s'établir en Nouvelle-France : le meunier Olivier arrivé en 1659 et Jean vers 1675. Rien n'indique qu'ils aient été proches parents.

Biographie
D'abord établi à Marans, Olivier Charbonneau nettoie les canaux du marais, afin d'assurer sa pitance. Devenu veuf deux fois (d'Ozanne Lussaud, puis de Marguerite Roy qu'il avait épousée à Marans, paroisse Saint-Étienne, le 30 avril 1646), il y épouse Marie Garnier vers 1656. Celle-ci serait une  nièce de Marguerite Bourgeoys.

Migration
En quête d'un avenir meilleur, avec son épouse et leur fille de deux ans (Anne), il s'embarque pour la Nouvelle-France sur le Saint-André au port de La Rochelle le 2 juillet 1659. C'est dans cette même ville que, moins d'un mois auparavant (devant le notaire  Demontreau, le 5 juin 1659), il avait été engagé  « laboureur à bras », c'est-à-dire pour travailler le sol à la bêche, par opposition au « laboureur à la charrue », pour Ville-Marie, par la Société Notre-Dame de Montréal, ayant été recruté par Jeanne Mance. Celle-ci par ce contrat prête pour deux ans à Olivier l'argent pour leur traversée jusqu'à Québec (175 livres et 31 livres 12 sols 6 deniers) pour frais d'hébergement préalable à La Rochelle et achat d'une malle de voyage : « en cette ville au logis de la Grâce de Dieu pour leur dépens et pour avoir [acquérir] un coffre à mettre leur hardes ». — Dix ans plus tard (le 10 octobre 1669, à Ville-Marie, devant le notaire Bénigne Basset), elle signera un acte de quittance générale, à l'égard de tous ces débiteurs de cette  recrue pour Ville-Marie. Ces dettes étaient énormes, équivalent pour chaque famille à plus d'une année du salaire annuel d'un ouvrier du temps. Ont-ils pu vraiment tout rembourser ? Sûrement pas, mais leur dette sera à jamais effacée, grâce à Jeanne Mance et à ses généreux donateurs.

Le couple et son enfant font ainsi partie des huit familles de l'Aunis, et apparentées, qui alors s'engagent par ce contrat à migrer en Nouvelle-France.

Sur l'île de Montréal
On suit la trace d'Olivier Chabonneau à Ville-Marie, où sa famille s'accroît d'un enfant tous les deux ans jusqu'en 1666 : après Anne (née en France vers 1657), Joseph (1660), Jean (1662), Élisabeth (1664), Michel (1666). Chacun des cinq atteindra l'âge du mariage et , les filles dès l'âge de 14 ou 15 ans.

Après quelques années au cœur même de Ville-Marie, Olivier va s'établir à la Pointe-aux-Trembles (pointe est de l'île de Montréal), où il se construit un moulin à eau avec son associé Pierre Dagenets (Dagenais).

Sur l'île Jésus
Sa fille Anne ayant épousé Guillaume Labelle en 1671, Olivier Charbonneau s'établit dans la région qui constitue aujourd'hui la paroisse St-François-de-Sales de Laval, dont il devient le premier résident permanent avec son gendre. Il est considéré comme étant le premier citoyen de la ville de Laval, au nord de Montréal. C'est le 29 octobre 1675 qu'Olivier Charbonneau avait obtenu la première concession de terre à cet endroit. Pierre Boucher, auparavant gouverneur de Trois-Rivières devenu procureur de Monseigneur de Québec, a signé l'acte de vente. Olivier y a laissé sa marque, car, ainsi que la majorité de ses contemporains, il ne savait signer !

À la Pointe-aux-Trembles
Olivier Charbonneau décède le 20 novembre 1687 à la Pointe-aux-Trembles (extrémité Est de l'Île de Montréal), à l'âge d'environ 74 ans et son inhumation a lieu le jour même à tout près.Comme à cet endroit, il n'y avait pas de cimetière, le lendemain, il était inhumé à Pointe-aux-Trembles. Le premier cimetière a R.P.D. 1710 (Saint Joseph)

Frequent mergers and acquisitions has meant that Domtar has a diverse set of applications it must manage and provision, but it has managed to keep its users happy and reduced the turnover at its IT help desk.
The company has two divisions – pulp and paper, and personal care – with distributed employees across North America and Europe, 8,900 in the former and 1,000 in the latter. Michel Meunier, Domtar's Montreal-based VP of IT, and his team are responsible for supporting all Domtar staff, although its most frequent interaction is with those located on this side of the pond. And while the company does have service level objectives in place, it does not have formal Service Level Agreements (SLAs). For example, there's no a set time frame for a user to be set up on a new laptop.
However, he said, the calls to the company's service desk are quite positive these days, and the staff handling those calls are happier and there is less turnover. Meunier attributes this stability to deploying EasyVista for its information technology service management (ITSM) requirements as staff are better equipped.
Where does the help desk turn for help?
But five years ago, things at the company's IT helpdesk weren't going as smoothly, he said. The concept of creating a service ticket was an issue. "People weren't phoning to get a ticket. They wanted resolution immediately." Domtar merged with Weyerhauser in 2007, and both companies had experience with outsourcing part of their IT support: Domtar with its infrastructure, and Weyerhauser with its service desk. "Both experiences were poor experiences," said Meunier.
Kevin Coppins, EasyVista's GM for North America, said Domtar is atypical in size for the upper mid-market customers the company targets. It has distributed users with enterprise-grade requirements, but is resource-constrained in terms of support. It also not unusual for EasyVista to encounter enterprises that have a lot of legacy applications. Healthcare organizations have applications that are 30 years old, for example. "The legacy applications aren't going away. Nor do they have to." The focus should be on the role those apps play, he said.
According to Gartner, there are 500 ITSM suites on the market today, said Coppins, but only about 10, including EasyVista, are what he calls full suites, and half of them are from the big, traditional IT vendors, such as CA and BMC. He described EasyVista as a "pure play" in the space as others are looking to broaden even further.
Coppins said IT departments are under increasing pressure to be the leader in digital transformation. "They don't know where to start." EasyVista is helping by addressing obvious pain points, including little things that have a huge impact on the culture of an IT helpdesk.
When Domtar implemented EasyVista about three years ago, the main focus for organizations implementing ITSM tools was on total cost of ownership. "People are now more focused on the mobile side," Coppins said, noting that Domtar is just beginning to look at more of the mobile aspects.
However, mobile isn't just about devices, he said, it's more of a mindset that reflects the consumerization of IT as more people in the workforce realize and understand how they can do their jobs better with hardware and software and not have to do it in one particular place.

Meet Billy Elliot: Cincinnati Music Theatre (OH)
Billy Elliot The MusicalBilly Profiles - By LocationNorth American Regional Productions
The 437 seat Jarson-Kaplan Theatre at the Aronoff Center for the Performing Arts
From November 4-12, 2016, the Jarson-Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Performing Arts will host a production of Billy Elliot The Musical (BETM), presented by the Cincinnati Music Theatre.
Fans of BETM might recognize this venue, as its larger theater, the Procter & Gamble Hall, was a stop on the North American Tour of BETM back in January of 2012.
The Cincinnati Music Theatre (CMT) is one of Cincinnati's oldest and most successful community theaters. It has a long history (since the 1960s) of presenting popular, large scale, award-winning musicals to enthusiastic audiences from across the Greater Cincinnati area.
When it came into being back then (originally known as the Eastern Hills Music Theatre), it was a time period when community theaters weren't producing large scale musicals. This new organization would be dedicated to the non-professional artist desiring an opportunity to perform in a medium otherwise unobtainable.
For the first 30+ seasons of its existence, CMT performed in some of the area's better equipped high school auditoriums as they offered their audiences an entertaining mix of classic favorites, including Annie Get Your Gun, The Sound of Music, Hello Dolly, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver!, My Fair Lady and The Music Man.
In the Fall of 1995, CMT took a giant step forward as they became a Resident Company at the newly opened Jarson-Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts. Their inaugural show in their new home was Sweeney Todd and since then they have presented many large musicals including Evita, Chicago, 42nd Street and Gypsy.
Billy Elliot The Musical is one of two major musicals produced by CMT this season — the other being Shrek: The Musical in May, 2017. CMT's BETM cast will feature local talent and will be led by Peanut Edmonson, a newbie to the role of Billy.

A stream of unchanging payments for a specific period or for an individual's lifetime, depending on the terms of the annuity contract. Fixed annuities are sold by insurance companies to people who desire a fixed income. Also called guaranteed-dollar annuity. Compare variable annuity. See also hybrid annuity.
A fixed annuity is a contract that allows you to accumulate earnings at a fixed rate during a build-up period.
You pay the required premium, either in a lump sum or in installments. The insurance company invests its assets, including your premium, so it will be able to pay the rate of return that it has promised to pay.
At a time you select, usually after you turn 59 1/2, you can choose to convert your account value to retirement income.
Among the alternatives is receiving a fixed amount of income in regular payments for your lifetime or the lifetimes of yourself and a joint annuitant. That's called annuitization. Or, you may select some other payout method.
The contract issuer assumes the risk that you could outlive your life expectancy and therefore collect income over a longer period than it anticipated. You take the risk that the insurance company will be able to meet its obligations to pay.
American Equity Investment Life Insurance is a full-service underwriter of fixed annuity and life insurance products with a primary emphasis on the sale of index and fixed rate annuities.
According to Beacon Research, though fixed annuity sales were down for the quarter, year-to-date fixed annuity sales are up 21.
2 billion of the fixed annuity market during the first quarter, according to IRI.
Such a rule would have significant negative consequences for the fixed annuity marketplace.
7 BILLION: FIXED ANNUITY SALES IN 2010 A DROP OF 31.
Sales of book value products, the largest fixed annuity product, grew 84 percent.
For example, a client who wishes to have his or her portfolio (exclusive of the annuity contract) grow over a 10-year period can purchase an immediate 10-year fixed annuity.
That takes a lot away from a fixed annuity," says Gott.
A qualified interest is a right to receive fixed annuity payments at least annually (a GRANT), or a right to receive, at least annually, annuity payments that are a fixed percentage of the trust's assets revalued annually on the anniversary of the trust's creation (a GRUNT), or any noncontingent remainder interest if all other interests in the trust are GRANTS or GRUNTS.
The award recognizes courage, spirit and determination that challenges the status quo, inspires others to achieve, contributes unselfishly to others, and works ethically and conscientiously to improve the fixed annuity marketplace.
The newly formed group, the Fixed Annuity Consumer Choice Campaign, or FACC Campaign, is gathering signatures for a petition to be sent to Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta "urging him to delay implementation" of the fiduciary rule exemptions to July 1, 2019, and "fix the treatment of fixed indexed annuities.

In a perfect world, Jonas begins to see the flaws…
THE GIVER is the classic award-winning novel that inspired the dystopian genre and a major motion picture adaptation starring Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.
It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in the community wants for anything. Everything needed is provided. And at twelve years old, each member of the community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders.
Twelve-year old Jonas has never thought there was anything wrong with his world. But from the moment he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, Jonas discovers that their community is not as perfect as it seems.
It is only with the help of the Giver, that Jonas can find what has been lost. And it is only through his personal courage that Jonas finds the strength to do what is right…
The Giver is the award-winning classic of bravery and adventure that has inspired countless dystopian writers as the forerunner of this genre.
"The Giver, a powerful and provocative novel, is sure to keep older children reading and thinking." New York Times
"Lowry is once again in top form – raising many questions while answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers."
Lois Lowry, author of over twenty novels and twice winner of the Newbery Medal (for The Giver and Number the Stars), was born on 20 March 1937 in Hawaii. Her father was an Army dentist and the family lived all over the world. Now divorced, she lives in West Cambridge with her dog, Bandit, and spends weekends in her nineteenth-century farmhouse in New Hampshire.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 26 APR 1993
In the ``ideal'' world into which Jonas was born, everybody has sensibly agreed that well-matched married couples will raise exactly two offspring, one boy and one girl. These children's adolescent sexual impulses will be stifled with specially prescribed drugs; at age 12 they will receive an appropriate career assignment, sensibly chosen by the community's Elders. This is a world in which the old live in group homes and are ``released''--to great celebration--at the proper time; the few infants who do not develop according to schedule are also ``released,'' but with no fanfare. Lowry's development of this civilization is so deft that her readers, like the community's citizens, will be easily seduced by the chimera of this ordered, pain-free society. Until the time that Jonah begins training for his job assignment--the rigorous and prestigious position of Receiver of Memory--he, too, is a complacent model citizen. But as his near-mystical training progresses, and he is weighed down and enriched with society's collective memories of a world as stimulating as it was flawed, Jonas grows increasingly aware of the hypocrisy that rules his world. With a storyline that hints at Christian allegory and an eerie futuristic setting, this intriguing novel calls to mind John Christopher's Tripods trilogy and Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl. Lowry is once again in top form--raising many questions while answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers. Ages 12-14.

Thanks to the iPlayer, I have never really been able to picture the characters in Cabin Pressure as looking anything unlike the actors who play them ... this is fine for Douglas and Carolyn, but Martin in particular is supposed to be the opposite of tall and authoritative Benedict Cumberbatch, so as I was listening again, I tried to force myself to picture him in a new way, and came up with someone who's somewhere between Steve Punt and Schmendrick the Magician.

Some in the crowd fired back — social media footage showed a man lighting the fuse to a mortar-style firework, with others in the crowd cheering while recording with their phones as the projectile ignited with a loud boom, then rocketed toward a line of police several yards away.
A total of 60 people were detained "during the crowd movement," police said. They were released after agreeing to leave the area, and all had left by 12:30 a.m.
Elsewhere in downtown, a helicopter crew spotted what appeared to be a break-in at a store near 6th Street and Broadway.
Footage recorded near that intersection showed people walking out of the smashed front doors of a store and crawling under a security gate as sirens and popping noises were heard in the background. Police were summoned to respond, and were working to determine if any crime had taken place there as of 11:20 p.m.
"While the vast majority of fans celebrated the Rams' victory peacefully, there were some individuals downtown who vandalized vehicles and businesses and had to be dispersed," LAPD Chief Michel Moore said in a statement Monday. "Follow up investigations will continue in an effort to identify those responsible for the damage and burglary."
As of Monday afternoon, police said, there had been just one arrest downtown late Sunday night. Officer Melissa Podany said one man was stopped after officers witnessed him driving donuts near L.A. Live. When they searched his car, officers said they found an illegal firearm.

While the city had numerous fire trucks and ambulances ready in the area in case anyone was hurt during the expected celebrations, LAPD had no reports of injuries as of Monday afternoon.
Several offramps of the 110 Freeway in the downtown area were shut down at the request of the LAPD in order to help them control traffic, California Highway Patrol officials said.
