In our second video about working with local code systems, we will focus on making modifications to existing codes and creating new content. We'll also use the history view to see how a code changes over time.
This is the second video of a series about working with Local Code Systems. Today we will focus on making modifications to existing codes and creating new content.
Local Code Systems can either be created directly in Snow Owl or they can be imported from an Excel sheet. I'll demonstrate import and export in a future video. For this one, I've already imported two Local Code Systems, which you can see here in the view.
When I open the folder of a Local Code System by clicking this triangle, I can see the codes indicated by the green icons. Let's start making modifications to the existing data. To make a modification, you need to bring up the editor because this is where you can make changes. You can do this by finding the code in the view either by using the filter search or by just opening the hierarchy and double-clicking it, or you can also use the quick search and pick the code from the list, for example "food" and this will open the editor.
I would like to make a few changes to this code here. First I would like to change the term. You can make a change in the editor simply by deleting and overwriting the information. So now I changed the term.
I would like to add another alternative term, which is this button here. You just click the button and it brings up a new text box where you can enter a new term. Let's enter "Catering Supervisor." To delete an alternative term just click the minus here. Let's delete this one. Alternatively, I could have just overwritten the information here, but I wanted to show you these two buttons, how to use them.
If I wanted to inactivate this code, I would just uncheck the box but let's not do this. Let's save the changes. I can enter a commit comment: "Modified terms".
The reason why we have these commit comments is that when using Snow Owl in the real world making modifications like this is regulated by workflow. So whenever you make a change you can enter a commit comment. The workflow ensures that authoring and reviewing business processes are followed so that changes are reviewed by different parties before publication. I'm logged in as an administrator, therefore, I can bypass this process without any restriction for this demonstration, but usually you would have several parties that are involved and it makes sense to leave a commit comment.
OK, now I've made several changes and if you're curious to see what kind of changes were made you can now go to the History view, which is this one here. This view can also be linked to the active editor, just like you can link other views to the editor.
We can see now – since I've made some changes – that there are two versions of this local code: this is the first one, that's what I started out with, that's what I imported earlier and in the second version there were three changes you can see when the changes were made, who made the changes, and the comment that I entered is here. In the bottom section are change details displayed.
Now let's make a change to a Local Code System. So we need the editor for the Local Code System, I just double click it and this brings up the editor, you see it looks different from the editor for local codes.
Let's change the description of the Local Code System. Let's call it "Occupational classification" and save: "Changed description of Local Code System". OK. And now we see the history of the Local Code System. I need to refresh this here, this button, so now we have both versions. It shows that the attribute description changed to Occupational classification. So this is the first one, and this is the second one. Since this is linked, if I go to the other editor, I can see the history of the local code, and here the history changes.
I've already copied and pasted an OID. OIDs are registered at HL7 and this is the one for B2i, it's pretty long this is why I just copied and pasted it.
You see now I could already hit the "Finish" button, but let's enter an address for the organization that is maintaining this, and "This is the B2i Healthcare country code system" as a comment.
If I click "Finish" the new Local Code System is here in the view and I can start adding local codes. This works with the context menu so you just go on the folder, right-click and select "Add new child code" and this already brings up a new editor where I can enter my terms. Let's start with "Hungary" the code is HU, term is Hungary and a Hungarian alternative term would be the Hungarian word for Hungary: "Magyarország" and save. OK. You can see here that we already have the new code that was added.
If wanted to create a code in the same level, I right-click and go to "Add child code" again. If I wanted to a create subcode, I would go to this one and then add a child code from here. But we need a code in the same level. Let's do it again, let's add a code for Germany and German term "Deutschland." Save. And one more time: Add child code: US, United States. I don't need to add an alternative term so I can just save and hit OK.
So now we already have three codes in our code system and these codes are already searchable. So if I type "deut" for Deutschland, I can see the term Germany coming up so it also searches for alternative terms, but I could also enter the code ID here.
I want to show you how to create a sub-category, for example, for United States. So if you click the parent, right-click "Add new child", it creates a sub-category for United States. Let's create one for Arizona. Save. And here is the new sub-category. If you wanted to create another sub-category, you would start here, a sub-category of Arizona. You can create a hierarchical code system this way, always go to the parent code.
If you want to delete a code, it also works with the context menu. You right-click it, "Delete code" and then you're presented it with a deletion plan, which shows the components that are affected. In this case it's just one code. Click "Finish" and you can see now this one is gone.
If you delete an entire Local Code System you would click on the folder, right-click "Delete Local Code System" and there it also shows you that you not only deleting the Local Code System, but all the codes that are in the system as well. Click "Finish" and it's gone.
There are restrictions to deleting local codes, for example, if you are trying to delete a component that is referenced in the value set or mapping, let me show you one for example, this one. If I'm trying to delete this, I'm prompted by message that says "The deleted component is referenced please remove, the references first". So you cannot delete a code that is part of a value set or that is mapped in a mapping set. To prevent you from doing this you can't delete until you remove those references.
OK, that's all I want to show about Local Code System editing for now and in the next video we will talk about using Local Code Systems in value sets and mappings. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for your attention.

Rainier Beach Wins Shootout Against Seattle Prep, 45-35
By The Seattle Medium Staff
Rainier Beach quarterback Chance Gaudiz threw three touchdown and ran for another, while teammate Scot'Tre Humphrey ran for three touchdowns of his own, as the Viking defeated Seattle Prep 46-35 Saturday night at Rainier Beach.
Seattle Prep scored first as quarterback Braeden Smith connected with Jack Velling on a touchdown pass to give the Panthers an early 7-0 lead.
However, Rainier Beach struck back as Gaudiz hit receiver Jaelin Green for a 29-yard touchdown pass, and followed up with a 47-yard touchdown pass to A'Shaki Davis as the Vikings took at 14-7 lead.
Smith immediately answered the Rainier Beach touchdown as he returned the kickoff 94 yards to the Viking 5-yard line. The play set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Velling to tie the game at 14.
Gaudiz would go on to connect with Ellis Branca on a 35-yard touchdown pass, and Humphrey would score on a 2-yard touchdown run as Rainier Beach took at 27-14 lead into the half.
Seattle Prep would close the gap to 27-21 in the third quarter, when Drew Velling blocked a punt that was picked up and returned for a touchdown by Austin Harnetiaux.
Rainier Beach would build a 39-21 lead with rushing touchdowns by Gaudiz and Humphrey before Smith would break loose for a 19-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, as Seattle Prep cut the lead to 39-28.
Rainier Beach would eventually put the game out of reach, as Humphrey would score on a 15-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to give the Vikings a 46-28 lead. Seattle Prep would get their final touchdown with 16 second left in the game as Smith connected with Velling for their third touchdown pass of the game.
Smith would finish the game with total of four touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing) as Seattle Prep, who finished in 5th place in the Metro League's Mountain Division, must play their way into the state tournament by advancing through the Metro League playoffs this week.
Final Score: Rainier Beach 46, Seattle Prep 35

The ACLF Board invites industry members to assist in making the Australian Children's Laureate program sustainable in the long term (to match the UK's upcoming 20th Children's Laureate Anniversary).
This sustainability will enhance ACLF's ability to promote the children's book industry via this exciting initiative. This is the chance for the industry to get behind the Laureate program with on-going funding to support infrastructure and management.
The Board of ACLF is therefore inviting members of the Australian children's publishing industry and interested arts organisations to support the ACLF program by committing to a yearly membership over three years, with the possibility of renewing beyond this point.
To find out more about how the role of the Laureate benefits the Children's Literature Industry read our ACLA Industry Benefits Report 2014.
Or visit our page on the GIVE NOW website.
*It should be noted that ACLF has DGR Status which allows donations to be tax deductible.
Sponsorship offers vital support in running the Australian Children's Laureate program to ensure it has maximum impact on young people around Australia.
We offer bespoke opportunities for brands and businesses looking to connect with our own brand and vision: Reading Changes Lives!
We want to work with aligned partners to develop a culture of reading in Australia, especially in regional and remote areas.
"The Australian Children's Literature Alliance shares The Children's Book Council of Australia mission to promote the importance of children's literature and the power of reading to young Australians.
ACLA's major initiatives including the appointment of a biennial Australian Children's Laureate blend harmoniously with the endeavours of The CBCA.
The annual Children's Book of the Year Awards assist in raising community awareness of the value of reading, promoting children's literature and the Australian book industry.
Similarly ACLA activities including events that highlight the Children's Laureate highlight the work of Australian creators of children's literature and promote the Australian book publishing industry.
CBCA is proud of its alliance with ACLA in attaining their mutual objectives."
"The children's book world is full of passionate and dedicated individuals and organisations that have made it their life's work to nurture and promote Australian children's literature. ACLA has given them the opportunity to be part of a united and focussed effort to bring to the wider community a better knowledge and awareness of the richness of Australia's literary culture. As a publisher, the work of ACLA, especially the Australian Children's Laureate program, is not only a vehicle helping to promote our authors and illustrators, but a vital part of the 'chain of enthusiasm' that unites us all."
Children's books are the significant growth area in book sales. Where adult non-fiction sales are fairly flat, and fiction sales are declining, kids sales are increasing and becoming the major growth area in bookselling.
We recognise the importance of reading to a healthy Australian culture. The Australian Children's Laureate Program not only supports and promotes excellence in Australian children's writing, but more broadly supports literacy and the pure joy of reading."

Always laughing off the horrendous subtitles as you watch a show? Do you know the Top 3 Challenges of Subtitling!
scribersinternational	Translation	#copywriting #translation #language #, movie, subtitles, Translation	Leave a comment
Do you over rely on the subtitles when watching movie, drama or other videos? How many times have you got scratch your head and ponder if the subtitles are indeed reflecting what the foreign actress is talking? Subtitling is one effort that is highly reliant on human translators rather than machine translation. No one will be satisfied by watching a movie with subtitles which are coupled with literal subtitles. But yet, for us to view the 3 seconds of text displayed, takes much arduous effort to put things together.
Today, we will give you a clear understanding of the top 3 challenges which translators will face on subtitling.
Time (much more than we expect!)
Subtitling requires lots of time, energy and patience to ensure you are reading what is an accurate reflection of the speeches Generally, the process of subtitling takes 10 times longer the actual show runtime. Take 90 minute length of the movie as an example; it requires almost 20 good hours to ensure the subtitles are inserted at the correct timing, and not including the pre-works and any other post-production efforts. And to translate the sentences, very often the translator will have to listen repeatedly to get the correct messages across to other foreign language version. It is definitely a big challenge for a project manager to take charge of a subtitling case; he must always put his eyes on each stage of it.
Cultural difference is also a consideration for translators. They cannot just translate the meaning from the original source directly; localization is a fundamental element should be applied on subtitling. Jokes, slangs, idioms connect with culture strongly; audiences with different cultural background have difficulties to capture the meaning behind the story. Under the cultural limitation, translators should inspire their creativity to make the subtitles more engaging instead of translating cultural jokes or idioms directly.
The synchronization is one of most crucial challenge for subtitling. When synchronizing the subtitles on the audio track, the translated content should be less than 2 lines per screen. The optimal line length should be around 50- 75 characters per line which includes spaces; otherwise, the audience will unable to catch the meaning from translation shortly. In this way, translators should keep concisely in their work and makes it more readable for target audiences.
We at Scribers believe a movie with excellent subtitles will help your video to engage more audiences. To find out more about our subtitling service, please do not hesitate to log on to http://scribers.com.sg/multimedia/! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

This piece is literally bursting with time-tested white light witchcraft powers from the Medieval time period. It was a time when magic and witchcraft flourished. It was the time period that a lot of witchlings were being born and created. Accordingly, they needed a book to record their methods of magic... sort of like a grimoire. Hence, the Malleus Maleficarum was penned by a grand witch who mothered over 1000 witchlings. The Malleus Maleficarum literally translates as the "Hammer of the Witches." First account of this publishing was recorded as 1486 by two inquisitors, when in fact the true version was hand written by witches at least 50 years prior. It contained detailed spells and enchantments as well as a record of all white light divinations of witchcraft. This item was made drawling the powers of the Malleus Maleficarum. We made it with Grizzelle. We have sucked the powers from the book and put all of its knowledge in the stone of this ring. This piece now holds all the powers, spells, divinations, and white light magic of the original Witch's grimoire, called the Malleus Maleficarum. It will add or increase you powers and magic by substantial amounts!! You will be thrilled!

What is the relationship between registry hives and files?
How can I edit registry on non-bootable Windows system?
I can not delete a registry key, is there any way to work around this problem?
Can I use abbreviation of root keys in the address bar?
I see HKLM and HKU in the snapshot. What about HKCR, HKCU and HKCC?
Windows maintains a list of which hives exist on a particular machine in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist. The following table lists standard registry hives and corresponding files.
You can move the hard disk with the corrupted Windows to another computer, use the Load Hive function to load the registry hive and edit it.
If you are sure it's not a permission problem, you can try the following steps.
Select any registry key and export the key to a registry hive file. For performance reason, please do not select a key contains a lot of subkeys and values.
Select the parent key of the key you want to delete. If there are other keys and values in the parent key, move these keys and values to other place or export to a REG file.
Import the registry hive file on top of the parent key. This operation will overwrite everything in the parent key.
Delete the imported keys and values and restore the old content.
Yes, you can use following abbreviations.
HKLM and HKU contain all registry data. HKCR, HKCU and HKCC are just links.

Lichfield Garrick Young Rep Musical
Lichfield Garrick
First century Galilee and Judea must have been desolate places in this dystopian vision of the Holy Land from Lichfield Garrick.
The stage is bleak, devoid of colour, with a band on two platforms of scaffolding, drums and bass one side, keyboard and guitar the other, flanking a huge cross of lights, 20 by 20 which could glow or blind in dramatic moments.
The cast, 28 strong, on stage all the time, are all dressed in identical grey overalls with identical toolbelts – an army of uniformity as if 1984 has clashed with the New Testament, the greatest story ever told related by a totalitarian regime.
There are subtle differences you pick up as you go along, the 12 apostles, for instance, have goggles on their heads, as does, rather incongruously, Mary Magdalene, who also has a purple scarf in her hair.
The donning of jackets, one red, one blue, give us Caiaphas, the high priest of all Israel, and Annus, his father-in-law and a fellow priest, who see Jesus as a threat to the established order, while a long green coat distinguishes Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judea, when he emerges from the grey masses.
Alfie Kentesbar enjoys himself as the high priest, with a fine deep voice to match, complimented by Dan McClosky as not so much father-in-law as sidekick, plotting the death of the so called Messiah, the upstart from the country yokels of Nazareth threatening the more cosmopolitan order of Jerusalem in Judea.
Ashely Laight, meanwhile, gives us the dark thoughts of Pilate with Pilate's Dream as he relates his vision of the Galilean, Jesus, a dream foretelling how he will be blamed for his death. In his interrogation of the arrested Jesus his fine voice shows light and dark shades of power and emotion in his dramatic attempts to find reasons to spare the life of the man they call King of the Jews.
Being from Galilee, which was not, on paper at least, under Roman control, Pilate tries to pass the buck and first sent Jesus to be dealt with by Herod, ruler of that northern region, sung with a smile and some style by Arthur Ellis, who has more fun than Caiaphas with his up-tempo, music hall style King Herod's Song.
Genevieve Richards as the eponymous Superstar surrounded by followers
But it is Ellie May Quinn's Mary Magdalene, the most loyal follower of Jesus, who popular culture still erroneously refers to as a prostitute, who steals the show with her glorious singing of I don't know how to love him. It is quite stunning, a real goose bumps performance which deserved its rousing reception.
Another star was Alex Nicholls as Judas Iscariot, distinguished by a mustard scarf, who acts as a sort of narrator, in much the same way as Che in the later Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical, Evita, relating the events of the last week of Jesus's life.
He has a fine voice and manages a decent falsetto when needed, although the transition between the two is not always easy, which is no reflection on him, merely the simple fact that a male singing voice doesn't really mature until the singer is in their late 20s and into their 30s.
I was unsure about the staging of what is the most interesting theological concept of the rock opera, which comes after Judas's betrayal of Christ with a kiss in the garden of Gethsemane.
Seeing how Christ is treated, seeing what is to become of him, Judas launches into an emotive argument with God as, now the villain of the piece, with a traitor to be called a Judas for evermore, he decides to hang himself, angry that he has been made to do God's bidding, that he was always going to be an unwitting part of God's plan, manipulated beyond his control, used and then discarded.
It is a lonely cry of despair from a man ostracised, knowing he will be reviled for the rest of time. Yet all that anguish, his cries and anger at God, his scene of total desolation is lost in the distraction of being manhandled by the rest of the cast like a scene in some Hieronymus Bosch painting.
Which of course brings us to the eponymous figure himself, or in this case, herself, Jesus. Perhaps there is a dearth of young men who can sing in Lichfield, I don't know, but for me, and a number of the audience members I overheard, it didn't work.
For a start every song refers to him, his, man, even son of God, and it was only Ellie May Quinn's superb singing of I don't know how to love him that stopped you wondering if Mary Magdalene had been off school the day they did sexes in biology at Nazareth Tech.
Which is no criticism of Genevieve Richards, she was chosen for the role, and she made the most of it. Her big number is Gethsemane as Jesus, knowing his fate will be death on the cross, awaits arrest, and she sings it with real, heartfelt emotion bringing well deserved applause.
Even here though, we have the incongruous line Could you ask as much from any other man?. The story might not have changed but the dynamics certainly have.
She was also convincing in the final moments of Jesus on the cross, as, life ebbing away she cries quietly, "It is finished, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit." To be left alone as for the first time we have an empty stage, a beautifully worked dramatic moment.
A beaten. flogged Jesus with, right, Ellie May Quinn's loyal Mary Magdalene with followers now baying for blood
Again, though, one of the more poignant moments of the Christian story was lost amid the heaving mass of people on stage as Genevieve's Christ conducts the first communion of bread and wine at the last supper. It should be a poignant moment, the basis of the Christian sacrament of flesh and blood, but here it was less like Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated painting and more like serving drinks 10 deep at the nearest pub to Villa Park after a home match.
Again, no criticism of the cast, who only ever looked like a mob when that was what they were supposed to be, a rabble howling for the crucifixion of Jesus. Their movement was fluid, well-rehearsed and the singing was outstanding in what is not the easiest choral score, a credit to both choreographer Denise Orton-Brown and musical director Rob Murray.
The stark set designed by Connie Watson, who also designed the costumes, is minimalist while the use of brightly coloured jackets stood out as beacons among the otherwise drab cast, automatically giving importance to the characters.
There is also interesting use of four flight cases to create tables, platforms and even a sort of catwalk for Pilate. Simple props to give life and variety on an empty stage.
A mention too for the band with Murray on keyboard, Kyle Allen on drums, Laurie Olphin on bass and the excellent Steve Sheldon on guitar – a nod here as well to Martin Pritchard's sound design. The Garrick's in-house head of sound ensured the audio was well balanced with the band never drowning singers and clever, sparing use of echoes and effects.
Adrian Barnes's lighting is also worth a mention, ex Birmingham Rep and Hippodrome and now freelance, he uses light to create atmosphere and drama with pin spots and follow spots and, at times, assaulting the senses of the audience with a bombardment of light.
Director Jonny McClean, in his programme notes, talks of looking at the iconic show from a different viewpoint, to reflect the real modern concerns of youth, he wanted the musical delivered as a Rebel Yell, and he has certainly done that, a production a far cry from the usual staging.
He said that the "themes of social activism, self-serving people in power and the dangers of mob mentality still feel incredibly relevant today.".
That is what he wanted to bring out. Did it work? To be honest, not for me. I know the show well, but for newcomers, such as the group behind us, it was confusing, with the well-known story not easy to follow as a sort of ensemble piece.
I could appreciate the effort, the talent on display, even the innovation of staging the musical in a different, unconventional way, after all theatre can never stand still, it will always evolve.
This was the Garrick Young Rep Musical debut and perhaps it was aimed firmly at a young audience. Not that it wasn't interesting, after all, every production adds something to the theatrical experience.
I may not have been enamoured by the staging, but the cast performed what they were tasked with well, with a great deal of confidence and strong leads. Among the audience, as we shuffled out, there were those unconvinced and others who loved it, so if nothing else the production offered a chance of debate - and wouldn't theatre be boring if we all liked and disliked the same thing? You can make your own mind up to 22-02-20

UCR MFA Program
By Donna Miscolta
"You are at the age of reason," Sister said, "ready to understand the mystery of transubstantiation." She cued them with her ruler.
"Tran-sub-stan-ti-a-tion," the children repeated. Angie spoke it softly, enjoying the roominess of the word, its multiple, mysterious syllables that would teach her how to be good.
They were in second grade, preparing for their First Communion. They were seven years old.
It was catechism hour, and Sister Patrick Marie swept up and down the aisles of the classroom, impossibly quiet in her heavy black shoes and voluminous black drapes. She called out questions, and Angie mouthed the words inside the murmurings of the other children.
Who made me?
God made me.
Then Father Mulligan, who had the habit of dropping in without warning, stood at the door and the children scrambled to attention beside their desks and greeted him. But they were not in unison. Their voices were low, their syllables staggered, and everything sounded like scuffling feet. Sister Patrick gave a closed-mouth smile to Father with one side of her face and scowled at the children with the other side. They had failed her in front of Father. Sister signaled for them to atone by reciting more of their catechism, which they delivered in the perfect singsong of their playground chants.
Where is God?
God is everywhere.
Father asked them to pray for John F. Kennedy, who was running for President of the United States. They all obeyed fervently, lifting their brown faces heavenward, since everyone knew that if Nixon became president, he would make them go to school on Saturdays, and that was un-American.
Before Father left, he told them to make room on their chair for their guardian angel, who was always at their side. They all scooted to the edge of their narrow wooden seats as they resumed their lesson. Angie's thigh and shoulder soon ached from scrunching herself up. She didn't dare move, though. With Sister Patrick patrolling the aisles and Father Mulligan making surprise visits, her guardian angel taking up part of her desk space, and God everywhere, Angie was surrounded and under watch.
It was the same at home, which was not really their home. They were staying with her grandparents. It was the home their mother, Delia, grew up in along with her sister, Nelda. The two of them had shared a bedroom and fought and told each other secrets. Now the three Rubio sisters shared a room with Nelda, who said and did surprising things. Sometimes, after taking off her bra and before slipping on her nightgown, she would hold one of her breasts in her hand and say, "Want some teta?" And she would laugh a wicked, cackling laugh.
Her son was Little Eddie, even though there seemed to be no Big Eddie from whom to distinguish him. Little Eddie slept in the dining room on a cot now that the Rubios had moved in. Angie's grandparents snored in their twin beds in the bedroom just off the living room. Angie's parents slept in the living room on the fold-out couch, which creaked when they tossed and turned. Baby Anthony slept between them. They had left his crib behind in Hawaii.
They had left other things behind in Hawaii. Some toys, most of their comic books, their skates, their plastic pool, a box of clothing, and their hula hoops. And Angie felt like she had left something of herself behind. They had crossed the ocean this time not in the three-day seasick journey by ship, but by plane. The close-up view of clouds and the long drop to earth made Angie think of how much space there would be between their life in Hawaii and their life back here in California.
They were bigger now—Eva was nine, Angie seven, and Letty five—and there was the extra fact of Anthony. It was so crowded in her grandparents' house. They absorbed each other's sweat during the day and heard each other breathe at night. The bathroom offered no escape, nor did the porch or backyard. There was always someone else there or waiting their turn. Nelda and their mother sat on the front porch until it was dark and the moths flattened themselves around the porch light. Anthony would sit and babble in his playpen in the living room, soothed by their grandfather's growls as he argued with the TV and their grandmother crocheted. They watched the Spanish language station, which Delia and Nelda understood, but Angie's father, Henry, didn't. He would walk around the block over and over until Delia called out to him to come inside.
Angie and her sisters and Little Eddie did their homework on the dining room table, then played cards—Crazy Eights or Old Maid—and then ran their own bath. The sisters were required to take a bath together to save water. Then Eva ran one for Little Eddie, who was four and still sucked his thumb and ate his snots. The Rubio sisters stayed in the bathroom with him, sometimes lathering and scrubbing him as if he were the family dog.
One evening, instead of taking a walk around the block, Henry got in the car and came back with a small portable TV, which he hooked up in the dining room. Now after dinner each evening, he would watch the news and then Perry Mason or Gunsmoke while the TV in the living room jabbered in Spanish and Delia and Nelda shared movie magazines on the porch. The children crowded at the small kitchen table to do their homework, a move they accepted without protest, as it placed them within arm's reach of their grandfather's stash of Vanilla Wafers. Sometimes Angie peeked into the dining room from her perch at the kitchen table to watch her father watching TV. One night she went to sit with him while the news was on.
"Daddy," she asked, her cheek harboring part of a Vanilla Wafer. "Do you know what transubstantiation is?"
"Ask your mother."
"I know what it is."
"Then why are you asking me?"
Angie decided to ask her father a question that he could answer.
"Daddy, what's the cold war?"
"It's when people aren't fighting each other, even though they really want to."
Gunsmoke had come on and her father raised the volume to drown out the
Spanish-dubbed I Spy on her grandparents' TV in the adjoining room.
Sister Patrick stood at the front of the classroom, grimmer than usual and with the disconcerting appearance of a tear in one eye, its glisten magnified by her glasses.
"Our beloved Sister Paul Anna has taken ill."
Some of the girls started crying. Angie felt a pang inside her ribcage, as if a rock had lodged there, and felt her face go hot at the thoughts she had had recently about Sister Paul Anna. Since she had seen Nelda's breasts, Angie had wondered about her mother's, even her grandmother's. At school, she had wondered about the nuns. Did they have them? But really, it was Sister Paul she had been curious about. Sister Paul with her young, movie-star face that Angie's mother said was the image of Elizabeth Taylor.
"We must all pray for her," Sister Patrick said.
As preparation for their First Communion, they practiced daily the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the Act of Contrition. They kneeled beside their desks and recited these now. Then Sister Patrick ordered them to close their eyes and say a silent prayer from their hearts.
Angie closed her eyes and imagined Sister Paul in her bed beneath the blanket pulled to her chin, her head and body encased in the big black robes of her habit, her face pale and sweaty. Angie concentrated so hard on the image, she could summon no words of prayer. Sister Patrick ended the silence with a loud amen, and Angie held herself rigid, certain that Sister could read her thoughts or know her lack of prayer.
When they were back in their seats, Sister told them to take out a sheet of paper. "You will each write Sister Paul Anna a heartfelt get-well letter."
Sister Patrick lay her hand over her heart to demonstrate the expected source of their words. Angie was aware of the children around her putting their own hands to their hearts because they knew that was what Sister expected of them and they were afraid to do otherwise. Angie placed her hand at the top of her ribcage, her fingers hanging off the left side of her collarbone. She felt her heart beat into the corner of her palm.
Angie listened to other people's conversations a lot, and because she lived in a house with so many people and two TVs, she had a lot of conversations to listen to and, therefore, lots of words and sentences hovering in the spaces of her brain. She was a careful writer, both in forming her letters and her thoughts, even if not all of them were exactly her own.
Dear Sister Paul Anna,
During this time of cold war in the world, you have always been a breath of fresh air. You are the favorite of girls and boys and for those who think young. My faith that you will get well soon keeps me going strong.
Angie reread her words. She didn't think nuns watched TV so was pretty sure that Sister Paul wouldn't recognize the slogans from the Pepsi, Slinky, and Sugar Crisp commercials. It was a pretty good letter, she thought, but not special. Sister Patrick was telling them to finish up their letters soon, so Angie wrote quickly.
When you come back, you will have a big surprise.
Angie Rubio
Angie didn't know what made her write such a thing. As Sister Patrick collected their letters, Angie wondered what exactly she had meant by that. What surprise could she, Angie, possibly invent? She watched Sister stack the letters on the corner of her desk and told herself that her letter was just one of many. It was nothing special. She forced a sigh of relief.
The next day when she came in from recess, there was a familiar sheet of paper on her desk. It was her own letter to Sister Paul Anna. For some reason she panicked at the sight of her words that were exposed for all to see. She looked up to see Sister Patrick, who was making a gesture at her, turning her open palm to face down, and finally Angie understood she was meant to flip over the letter. On the back was a letter from Sister Paul.
Dear Angie,
Thank you for such a lovely letter. It cheered me up greatly. I look forward to the day when I can return to the classroom.
Sister Paul Anna
No one else had received a letter from Sister Paul. But then probably no one else had promised her a big surprise.
She knew Sister Patrick had read her letter and she knew Sister Patrick had read the response from Sister Paul. It was a terrible thing to know.
It was Delia who had insisted they go to the Catholic school, though Henry argued they couldn't afford it. "I'm on a seaman's salary."
"What's the alternative?" Delia demanded. "The public school all rowdy with bullies and low-income kids?"
"You think there are no bullies in Catholic school?"
"Bullies are everywhere," Angie said, amending a line from her catechism.
Delia would not budge. The money they might have spent on renting a house went instead to paying Catholic school tuition for three kids. Anyway, Delia reasoned, Catholic school made more sense now that Angie was to make her First Communion.
But when Angie came home with homework to memorize the Ten Commandments, the Seven Sacraments, the names of the Apostles, plus learn all her prayers, there was no one to help her. Henry liked to watch the news and Perry Mason, and Delia was always busy rocking Anthony to ease the fussiness to which he had lately become prone. Although happy to be back in California, Delia was nevertheless worried that the transoceanic trip and their new living arrangements had unsettled Anthony.
Angie followed her mother into the bedroom, where she lay Anthony on the bed to change his diaper. Angie thought her mother might have some ideas about what kind of a big surprise a nun might want. She handed her mother a wet cloth, the baby powder, and a fresh diaper. Her mother cooed to Anthony as she wiped and changed him, and Angie did the same. "You're a good boy, aren't you, little Anthony?" they said hopefully.
There were just the plastic pants to slip on, but Nelda was calling Delia to come listen to Doris Day on the radio. "Cantamos con la Doris."
"I'll be right back," her mother told her. "Watch Anthony. Make sure he doesn't fall off the bed."
Angie watched her little brother squirm, his arms and legs like fat thrashing worms.
"You're a good boy, aren't you, little Anthony?" Angie said again, though this time it didn't come out as a coo, as sweet encouragement. It sounded mocking, and Anthony started to cry, as if he understood her taunt.
"I'll be right there, mijo," her mother called, interrupting for a moment her sing- along to "Que Será, Será."
Angie decided to deliver Anthony to her mother to save her the trouble of coming back to the bedroom. "Okay, mijo," she told him as he observed her with wide eyes and a spit bubble at his mouth.
She lifted Anthony off the bed, her arms wrapped around his bottom. She expected his torso to follow the momentum of his butt against her body, but Anthony lurched backward and Angie did a dance with him as she tried to get her balance underneath his arching body. He was trying to launch himself out of her grasp and she knew the only hope she had was to make sure the bed was beneath him when he forced himself out of her arms and became airborne. But she was too late. The thud of his head on the floor stunned him into silence for a long moment during which Angie wondered if she might've killed her brother. But then he opened his mouth in a tragic scream. Angie gathered him quickly and practically threw him on the bed, which seemed to mollify him, as his screams petered out to hiccups just as her mother rushed to the bedside. She picked Anthony up and patted his head, his back, his diapered butt, and sent soothing whispers into his neck. She looked at Angie. "Did you let him fall?"
She hesitated. The answer was technically no. She had not let him fall.
"Don't you lie to me," her mother warned. "Did you let him fall?"
"No," Angie said.
Her mother appeared to fume. "I sincerely hope not," she said, whisking Anthony out of the room.
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. This is my first confession." They were the words Angie had been practicing in catechism class, words she would say to the priest the first time she stepped inside the confessional. They were to be followed by a recitation of her sins. So far, Angie's list was short, which worried her. She was sure that much was expected of them in terms of sin. Should she lie about her sins? No, that would be a sin. But then at least she would have something to confess. She was undecided about whether dropping Anthony was a sin.
"You're not afraid of the dark, are you? Aunt Nelda said as Angie kneeled at the bedside practicing her lines. "Because it's dark in the confessional, you know."
In fact, Angie was afraid of the dark, though she seldom had to worry about being alone in it at her grandparents' house. There were so many of them living there under one roof. Anyway, there were lights constantly turned on as one or another of them made their way to the bathroom for a pee or the kitchen for a glass of water in the middle of the night.
Letty was in Nelda's bed and Eva was next to Angie. Nelda, as usual, was in her underwear as she sat at her dresser, wiping make-up from her face with cotton balls dipped in baby oil from the same bottle used for Anthony's butt. When she was finished, she shrugged the straps of her bra off her shoulders and reached around the back to undo the clasp, and said what she always said. "Want some teta?"
They had always shaken their heads, not really knowing what they were being offered. Tonight, though, Letty asked, "What's teta?"
Nelda laughed. "I'm just teasing."
Then she explained she used to feed Little Eddie with milk from her breasts.
"Our mother uses bottles," Angie said.
"Not with me," Eva said. "I was breastfed."
"You were not," Angie said, though she had no way of knowing; she just felt it shouldn't
be true. But Nelda confirmed it.
Nelda wagged her finger at her as if she had committed a wrong. "It's just too much to ask of a woman to do it with more than one child. It makes a saggy bust," she said, cupping her breasts in her hands, lifting them up and then letting them go. "They wouldn't look this good if I'd had another baby to feed."
Angie didn't like having Nelda wag her finger at her. She didn't like Nelda reminding her that the confessional was dark. She didn't like when Nelda would tease and ask them to do the hula just because they'd lived in Hawaii.
Before Hawaii, Angie had not thought to question the absence of a father for Little Eddie, a husband for Aunt Nelda. But now, after Hawaii, now that she was seven, these things occurred to her and she formed her own conclusions. That you didn't have to be married to have children. That somehow just being a grown-up caused you to have a child. Of course, this conclusion was soundly refuted by Eva. It doesn't just happen automatically, she snorted. There has to be a kiss. And there's a seed in the kiss. And the woman swallows it and it grows into a baby in her belly.
Who kissed Aunt Nelda, Angie wanted to know. She said it out loud: "Who kissed you and gave you a baby, Aunt Nelda?
Nelda looked stunned, and her lashes batted wildly. It made them all go silent.
"I'm telling Mama," Letty said, and she slid from the bed and backed out of the room the way policemen do on TV.
Within seconds, their mother stalked into the room with Letty trailing behind. "What's going on here?"
"Angie wanted to know who kissed Aunt Nelda and gave her a baby," Eva said.
Their mother pursed her lips and folded her arms. "Nelda had a husband, but he died. Now no more discussion." She looked sternly at Angie, as if she might have been responsible for killing him. But Angie knew her mother was lying.
They needed cheering up. Henry was tired of being a sailor and tired of living in someone else's house. Delia said to him that at least he wasn't the mother day-in and day-out to all these kids—at least he got to leave the house to go to work. Nelda was still looking tragic after Angie asked who kissed her. And Angie was still worried about the big surprise she had promised Sister Paul Anna. The grown-ups decided a drive to Marine Land to see the dolphins dance and the seals play polo would make them smile. But they would have to get an early start and miss church.
"But I'm not supposed to miss church when I'm studying for my First Communion," Angie reminded them.
"Do you want to go to Marine Land or not?" her mother asked.
"On Mondays Sister Patrick makes us stand up and say why we didn't go to church."
"Ay, chica, just don't stand up," Nelda said.
Angie didn't want to stand up. But she knew she wouldn't have a choice. At least she could add not going to church to her list of sins to confess, along with asking Nelda who'd kissed her.
All of them squeezed together in the car, the one that had come back with them from Hawaii. The three grown-ups nudged up against each other in the front with baby Anthony on Delia's lap, and the sisters jostled for space in the back with Little Eddie, from whose neck Nelda had tied a barf bag. There was no room for a guardian angel anywhere. No one complained about the lack of space, because it was better to be crammed in a car with a destination that wasn't home than it was to be home, which wasn't really their home.
They were scarcely out of their own neighborhood when a fiercely loud but mostly minor collision sent them home after all. Angie's father had pulled to a stop behind another car at the traffic light. When the light turned green, and the car ahead failed to move, Angie's father honked the horn. "We don't have all day," he muttered. The car ahead of them had stalled but its engine was doing its best to grind back to life as Angie and her family fumed impatiently in their cramped seats. The engine finally revived with a roar, but before the family could celebrate, their heads were flung against the dashboard, seatbacks, or each other. Angie ended up on the floor, knees at her chin. Little Eddie was splayed over her, his barf bag trapped beneath him. As Nelda screamed for her son, Angie held her hands up to catch the puke from Little Eddie's mouth. Angie closed her eyes and waited for rescue, listening to her mother's low wailing of something vague and garbled, which she slowly recognized as prayer.
The car ahead of them had, after revving its newly recharged engine, thundered into reverse and taken out the front grill of the Rubio car. Once they were all extricated from the dented vehicle, and Angie's hands hosed off at the corner gas station, they sat on the curb as a police officer asked questions, wrote in his notepad, and talked into his two-way radio, after which they were allowed, bruised and scraped, to climb back into their beaten car with its cracked windshield, buckled hood, and empty headlight sockets, and limp home.
On Monday morning, Sister Patrick stood at the front of the room and asked which of them had failed to attend church on Sunday. Those who stood had to explain what had been more important than God. Angie stood bravely to face the humiliation. She stood partly out of her sense that Sister Patrick, Father Mulligan, her guardian angel, and God already knew of her absence from church. But partly because she felt a little heroic, and she was disappointed that the bruise on her forehead that had seemed so robustly purple the previous day was already fading.
"We were in a car accident," Angie said, and she couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead where the bump was − or used to be.
Sister Patrick frowned. Though it might have been concern, suspicion was also a possibility.
"My mother had stitches," Angie said.
"Well," Sister said, "thank God you are all safe." It was a command.
Angie bowed her head, wanting to thank God instead for saving her from the wrath of Sister Patrick.
During silent reading time, when thirty sets of lips were moving soundlessly—including Angie's, even as her mind wandered to the problem of inventing a big surprise for Sister Paul Anna—Sister Patrick called Angie to her desk.
Angie, shaky with guilt about her inattention to her reading, made her way slowly to Sister Patrick sitting large as a monument at the front of the room.
"Yes, Sister Patrick?" she whispered, aware that many of the lips in the room had ceased moving.
"Angie," Sister Patrick said in a low, deep voice, "what is this big surprise you have in store for Sister Paul?"
Angie could not swallow, could not force words from her throat. She shrugged, not quite meeting Sister Patrick's small gray eyes behind the rimless glasses.
"Do you mean to say that what you wrote is not quite true?"
Angie coughed to test her vocal chords. "I wanted it to be true. I meant for it to be true."
"You know that's not the same thing."
There was a long pause, during which Angie considered running from the room. Some of the other students had stopped pretending to read and were watching the scene before them.
"What made you write such a thing?" Sister Patrick asked.
Angie heard Sister's voice trying to be kind, but saw that her eyes were not. Angie's impulse to flee left her. She stood rooted and faced Sister's unfriendly gaze. "I wanted to make her happy. Because I love her. We love her."
Angie knew it was wrong to speak for the class and she expected Sister to say so. But all she said was, "That will do. Please sit down now."
Sister Patrick stood up. "And now for phonics."
After their phonics lesson—at which the children did poorly, since no one understood what phonics meant – Sister Patrick instructed them all to put their heads face down on their desks, her chalky jowls quivering with displeasure. They did this whenever they played Heads Up 7-Up on rainy days, but today it wasn't raining.
"Heads down, no peeking," Sister Patrick said.
Angie watched little orange blobs float behind her closed eyelids. She could hear the restlessness of the children around her—the chafing of thighs, the skimming of saddle shoes against linoleum, the friction of sweater sleeves against grainy desktops. Angie was about to lift her eyes for a tiny peek when she felt a hand covering her head, guiding it back to its down position, holding it there. Finally, letting go. And the severe whisper of black moving past.
"Heads down, no peeking," Sister repeated. Her voice came from the front of the room again, and it hovered over their bowed heads as she gave her next instruction. "If you hate me, raise your hand."
There was a moment when the restlessness ceased, like the moment after a door slams and smothers everything to a hush when no one breathes. Then the fidgeting began again – the chafing thighs, shuffling shoes, rasping woolly sweaters – but Angie held herself still, her legs, her arms, especially her arms. It was hot with her face pressed upon her desk. It was hard to breathe. Her head pounded with voices. It's a sin to hate. It's a sin to lie. Raise your hand if you hate me. It was a single voice and then it was a chorus and though her eyes were closed and her head down and she could see nothing except tiny orange blots, couldn't they all see her? Sister Patrick, Father Mulligan, her guardian angel, God. Angie needed air. She lifted her face, took a deep breath, and raised both hands high in surrender.

Notice before Jesus was about to be crucified he expressed the importance of communion, in remembrance of what he was about to do for us all. And notice it says" Jesus has a desire to eat this Passover with us". Jesus paid the ultimate price for us all because he has a desire to be our Savior and grant us eternal life.

Hackett London to open new store in Dubai
Source: www.tradearabia.com
British men's outfitters Hackett London is due to open a new store in Dubai, in line with Hackett's approach of opening flagship stores in key cities.
The first Hackett London store in Dubai will be located in the Dubai Mall, on the first floor in Fashion Avenue at the bottom of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
The store concept will take inspiration from the famous and typically British exterior of Number 10 Downing Street, creating a residential feel inspired by a traditional London townhouse through the use of wooden panelling and black bricks.
The starting point for the design focuses on the British Georgian period, particularly the style of architect Sir John Soane whose simple, classic yet strong approach to design reflects the very essence of Hackett.
The classically timeless furniture and furnishings have been updated with a modern twist to provide distinctive focal points around the store.
The total retail selling space will be 160 sq m spread across one floor over four separate selling rooms. The entrance to the store will embody the essence of luxury with beautifully reclaimed wood flooring which continues throughout the store and walls lined with white timber panels.
To the left of the entrance hallway will be the Hackett Mayfair suiting and sports room.
The Hackett Mayfair room will have a new concept designed to recreate the atmosphere of a gentleman's townhouse through dimmed warm lighting, rich charcoal walls, dark carpets and a seating area located at the front of the room.
To the right of the entrance hallway will be a room which houses the Aston Martin Racing by Hackett collection and further Hackett Mayfair ranges.
A dedicated accessories and cash desk room will follow from the entrance hallway before leading into the room at the rear of the store, highlighted with a grand chandelier, timber paneled walls and antique furniture, showcasing the sports, casual and kids' collections.
Throughout the store an eclectic mix of modern and antique artwork will line the walls incorporating an interesting display of artist sketches, photography, architectural sketches, period prints and lithographs, many of which are chosen by Jeremy Hackett (co-founder and chairman)

HealthUniversity
Med student sets example for peers in underserved communities that they, too, can be a doctor
By going into medicine, Andrew Homere realized he could help people who thought medical school wasn't an option
BY Andrew Homere
Andrew Homere is a role model for youth of color who aspire to go to medical school. (Photo/Paul Boutin)
Andrew Homere is a first-year student at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. A native of the Chicago area, he learned about USC through the Bridging the Gaps program. He spoke with Paul Boutin of USC News.
I didn't always want to be a doctor — in fact, I had no idea what I really wanted to do — but even as a child, I struggled to understand why many of my relatives passed away early, while many of my peers' relatives lived longer with the same illnesses. My mother was born and raised in the Philippines, and my father in Haiti. They met in Chicago, where I was born and raised.
Most of my relatives come from what would be considered underserved communities — environments that contribute to the persistence of chronic diseases. My grandmother and uncle died relatively early from complications of diabetes, while my grandfather died of a stroke. Additionally, my other grandfather died of lung cancer before I was born.
Eyes were opened to health sciences
I always had an interest in science — I was collecting rocks in second grade, which progressed to crickets and grasshoppers, and an interest in the life sciences. I thought I would become a marine biologist, which transformed into biology. I went into college thinking I would go on the classic track of a bio major.
To be honest, I had been pretty clueless, not just on career options but on figuring out college. My parents were always there for me, but they couldn't tell me what to expect, nor did they know who could. I had to learn about career options myself. After my second year in college, I participated in a summer program at Case Western [Reserve University] that opened my eyes to the health sciences.
Experiences like summer programs helped me understand some of the little things before entering medical school. Med school is not just about hitting the books and studying for hours. You need a group for support, and to bounce ideas off each other. Extracurriculars are important, not just to throw on your résumé, but to get exposed to what your options are and discover what you may end up wanting to do. Seeing people who looked like me in the field showed me there was a path for me, a future that was possible. I learned how they got from there to here.
Helping people from the community
The Bridging the Gaps program taught me a lot about what I could do. I saw that the Keck School administrators were actually looking out for their students. USC seemed like a positive place, a place where I could see myself contributing to the care of people who need it the most.
I realized that by going into medicine, I could not only treat people, but I could "bridge the gap" for others — people from my own community who would have thought medical school wasn't an option. Not that I felt that I could change all of this, but I felt that I had the opportunities to become someone who could be an advocate for the people in my family and in my community. I can't change everything, but I can change something.
Poor access to quality care in underserved areas leads to disadvantages in the quality of life. I lost my grandparents at a young age. Getting to work with patients on the South Side of Chicago taught me a lot about why people in less affluent communities can't just change their lives and their health because of the daily and long-term struggles they face just to survive. Looking from afar, you don't see the limitations in their options, you don't see the broken families or that the only social support they get is from a gang. That's all they know.
By being a mentor, I hope to open others' eyes to the opportunities they have to go into medicine and bring new options to their own communities. I'd like to reach people when they're younger so they know early on that they, too, can afford to go to college, even the Keck School of Medicine, and can improve the health care of those around them — the sort of things I had to find out on my own later in life.
I've also witnessed some of the reluctance to fully entrust physicians in these communities. Having empathetic physicians in these areas can help break these chronic disease cycles, not only through empathizing with the physical conditions of these patients, but also by understanding their social determinants of health. I've learned that going beyond just the medical knowledge can play a huge role in outcomes.
Knowing that motivates me through the nonstop hard work of a medical student. I want others to know that not only can you be a doctor, but with your personal realizations about understanding patients, and gaining their trust, you can lead them to better outcomes. Not just a doctor, but a good one.

Robinson earns prestigious supplier Gold Award from Rolls-Royce
DE PERE, Wis. - Michimich -- Wisconsin-based genset producer is the only North American firm to earn gold
Robinson, Inc., a leader in the design and production of generator set (genset) power systems, is one of only three companies worldwide to receive the Gold Award for suppliers from Rolls-Royce. The award was presented by Rolls-Royce Solutions America, the regional headquarters for the Power Systems division of Rolls-Royce.
"Robinson has been integral to the growth of our power generation business since 2012," states Chris Lowry, senior manager strategic purchasing for Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc. "Robinson's quality support of its own genset enclosures as well as those outside its own projects is extremely valuable. It comes down to having a good team culture and the ability to consistently produce at a high level."
Robinson, based in De Pere, Wisconsin, is the only company out of approximately 1,200 active suppliers to earn a Gold Award from Rolls-Royce Solutions America. Criteria for the award included quality, on-time delivery and customer support.

Power generation is an area of growth for Rolls-Royce, and Rolls-Royce Solutions America is focused on continuing to expand offerings that are full solutions for its customers. Robinson has built nearly 400 gensets for Rolls-Royce in the past nine years.
"There is a lot that goes into receiving this level of recognition," comments Jim Birkholz, assistant general manager for Robinson. "We pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone to continuously improve our systems, processes and programs so we can better serve Rolls-Royce."

1955 Chevrolet 3100 Big Back Window
STREETSIDE CLASSIC CARS TAMPA
XX-406-3863-TPA
The all-new late-1955 Chevrolet ""Task Force"" pickups were a hit with the new truck buying public and they remain very popular even in the 21st century. This bright red 1955 Chevy 3100 Big Back Window truck has that classic look we all know and love and features beefy 350 V8 power, an overdrive transmission, an upgraded suspension, and a custom TMI interior that all combine into what is arguably the best-looking truck of the era, coupled with choice modern conveniences .....
that make it a pleasure to drive today.
Bright red always works on vintage pickups, but this isn't some faded old farm truck, as the Cardinal Red (or close facsimile) finish on this big girl is quite the head turner. With that great curb appeal, this one seems to have led an easy life showing off its crisp, clean lines that are covered with layer-upon-layer of deep, shiny paint that was professionally applied during the truck's comprehensive restoration (started in 2008 and completed in 2012). It's not a perfect show queen, although it's pretty darn close and you'll be hard-pressed to find anything to complain about in this even, uniform application, short of a tiny imperfection or two that can only be seen up close as possible. Regardless, this truck wasn't built just to compete in the beauty circuit, but rather as a top driver-quality rig meant to be enjoyed, with nothing incorporated into the build that takes away from the killer look of the original 3100 design. It's easy to see why these trucks were a hit the moment they were introduced, with the forward-canted fenders that make it look fast even sitting still (not that pickup trucks needed to be fast in 1955, but it's still a great look) and a handsome egg crate chrome grille that linked Chevy's truck line with their automotive offerings. The sharp body crease that runs from the headlights to the back of the cab and is picked up again in the rear fenders is incredibly well-defined and we especially like the custom look of the Black-and-Gold 'Chevrolet' block-lettering on the tailgate. Other custom touches include a trio of vents on either side of the big hood, chrome step-plates at the profiles punctuated with shiny oval exhaust tips underneath, and a louvered roll-pan out back that takes the place of the original rear bumper. As is customary with a high-end vintage pickup, the bed has been finished with what appear to be pine boards (or possibly oak; sorry, we're not lumberjacks), shiny chrome rub strips, capped bed rails, and a black vinyl tonneau cover that protects the gorgeous dance floor from the elements. Glistening chrome on the front bumper, grille insert, and light and glass surrounds look substantial and have been polished up to a blinding shine that works well against the hot-red finish.
The interior mostly sticks fairly close to the factory theme, albeit with a host of new and upgraded components that catapult it into the 21st century. A sculpted, split-back TMI bench seat is covered in gorgeous Dark Charcoal hides and red stitching that bring a lot of style to the mix without being overwhelming, and the bespoke door card were finished to match. The black-and-red color combination looks great inside the cabin, with beautiful red paint on all the exposed steel that matches the exterior, and plush carpets and heavy-duty vinyl floormats match the theme of the bench seat. With all that added power in the drivetrain accurate monitoring is a must, and the Dolphin gauges in the billet bezel ahead of the driver work in concert with a pair of AutoMeter auxiliary gauges installed in the center of the dash and a big, SunPro tachometer mounted just above that keeps an eye on the revs. A big, vintage-style Classic steering wheel atop a polished tilt column provides ample room for the driver, the B&M shifter in the floorboard works with the gear indicator plate to the left of the wheel, and the gauge just below monitors the PSI for the adjustable rear air shocks. Options include an R134a A/C unit that blows ice cold, power windows, and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit that powers upgraded speakers neatly installed behind the bench seat. It was all restored and executed to a very high level, so the cabin is an incredibly comfortable place in which to spend some time.
You could certainly get a V8 in your 1955 Chevy, but the 350 cubic incher that's in there now is a lot more powerful than anything they were building back then. It is, however, dressed beautifully with Chevy Orange enamel on the block, Edelbrock finned valve covers, and an AWESOME Cadillac-style air cleaner with custom pinstripe work adorning the top and two giant snorkels jutting out front that rush huge gulps of air into the engine. It's a beautiful engine bay presentation, with new components neatly organized and detailed up against the custom finished firewall and inner fenders. A performance intake manifold and QuickFuel 4-barrel carburetor help build power up top, and Hooker headers feed a set of Xlerator mufflers that give this old Chevy a fantastic sound. A giant radiator keeps the small block cool in all conditions, while power rack-and-pinion steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes tremendously improve the driving experience. A TCI 700R4 automatic transmission handles the 350's torque and power with ease, and it spins a hotrodder's favorite Quick-Change rear end out back that's incredibly versatile. The suspension's been upgraded with heavy-duty sway bars fore and aft and adjustable rear air shocks that set the stance atop a set of slick American Racing Torque Thrusts wrapped in 235/60/15 BFGoodrich T/As that finish the look perfectly.
Look around and you won't find a whole lot of these trucks finished to this level. Popularity (and pricing) is only increasing, so make this one yours by calling today!

Medicare and Medicaid Pharmacy and Office Audits in Illinois and Throughout the U.S.
The rules for compliance with Medicare and Medicaid are highly complex and ever-evolving. With ongoing changes to the healthcare landscape and an uncertain future, it is difficult for pharmacies (particularly those that are small and/or independent) to keep up with these changes. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has oversight over the Medicare Part D program, and conducts office and field audits of pharmacies to ensure they are in compliance. If you are a pharmacy facing a CMS audit, it is important to have skilled legal counsel in your corner to guide you through the process.
For over 16 years, the Law Offices of Joseph J. Bogdan, LLC has successfully represented countless clients for Medicare/Medicaid pharmacy and office audits in Illinois. Joseph Bogdan is both an attorney and a registered pharmacist. He also has a Pharmaceutical Doctorate degree and is a board member of the Illinois Pharmacist Association. He is frequently called upon as an expert witness for pharmacy-related legal matters, and he teaches Pharmacy Law at three universities in the Chicago area.
Attorney Bogdan's extensive background with both the legal and medical field gives him unique insights into the legal issues pharmacists commonly face when dealing with various governing entities. He helps pharmacists with a wide range of legal matters, including but not limited to Illinois Board of Pharmacy licensing issues, PBM pharmacy audits, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) actions, buying and selling of pharmacies legal representation, and Medicare/Medicaid audits.
There are two general types of audits performed on pharmacies that participate in the Medicare Part D prescription drug program; office audits and field audits.
Office Audits: An office audit is an automated review of the claims data submitted by the pharmacy. This may include the review of information such as payment reports, prescription patterns, drug utilization reports and other data to detect any red flags. If any unusual patterns are discovered, they may follow up with the pharmacy for additional information or take further actions.
Medicare/Medicaid pharmacy and office audits can result in consequences ranging from a simple warning to up to 100% of your CMS reimbursements being forfeited, the latter being enough to put many smaller pharmacies out of business. If you have received notification of any type of CMS audit in Illinois, you cannot afford to leave the results of the audit to chance. For a personalized consultation with Attorney Bogdan, contact our office today at 630-310-1267.
