The organiser of the Barnes Children's Literature Festival is hoping to raise £1,000 for local school libraries this year through ticket and book sales.
The festival, based in south-west London, was set up in 2015 by director Amanda Brettargh and is run as a non-profit operation. All of the surplus money from ticket sales, as well as the receipts from book sales, is donated to five local schools to spend on books. "One thousand pounds would be a new high for us; we gave away around £200 in year one but have been growing ever since," Brettargh told The Bookseller.
The company also donates artwork from visiting illustrators to schools (one auctioned an original Axel Scheffler print from the first festival for £2,500) and organises a free programme for primary schools, offering free author events for around 3,000 schoolchildren.
This year the festival will run on 12th–13th May and participating authors include Andy Stanton, Frances Hardinge, Rob Biddulph, Benji Davies, Abi Elphinstone and Axel Scheffler. There will be a special "in conversation" event with Judith Kerr and John Burningham, and the festival will host a stage adaptation of Lauren Child's Ruby Redfort series.

"Something Big Is Coming": Pastor Dana Coverstone Just Had Another Prophetic Dream About The Month Of September
Jul 16, 2020 | 1 |
(OPINION) Michael Snyder – Christians all over America are talking about Pastor Dana Coverstone, and he just had another prophetic dream about the month of September that everyone should hear. He is warning that "something big is coming", and he is calling Christians all over the country to pray for our nation from the beginning of the month of September to the end.
Hopefully many will heed this call because we are definitely at a major turning point in our history. I have been hearing from so many readers lately that feel such an urgency about the second half of this year and beyond, and I think that is a big reason why Pastor Coverstone's original video resonated so strongly with so many people.
What he shared in that video exactly matches what countless believers have been feeling, and it also perfectly lines up with experiences that other prophetic voices have been having. Pastor Coverstone's original video on YouTube has now been viewed over 1.5 million times.
In that video, he shared a dream that he had in December 2019 in which the Lord showed him that a great pandemic and tremendous civil unrest would erupt in America during the first half of this year, and events have played out in real life just as he saw in that dream. Subsequently, Pastor Coverstone had another dream in late June in which the month of September was specifically singled out as having special significance…
Here's what I saw. I saw a calendar. Start with the calendar. As I was having this, the calendar was up, a white figure appeared. To me, it was a representing God the Holy Spirit, something pure, something righteous, something true, something Holy because there was nothing sinister about it. Nothing evil, but I heard the voice say, "part two, part two". I saw June, go, I saw July. I saw August, and then I saw September, and I saw the finger underneath the word September and I like emphasizing it and tap the three times. READ MORE

What little girl doesn't want to be a princess? I even daydreamed about growing up and marrying Prince Charles some day. My mother finally popped that balloon by pointing out that Charles, as a prince of the British Empire, was forbidden from marrying a girl like me ~ a Roman Catholic (thanks a lot, Henry VIII). So I settled back instead and indulged my royal fantasies with every scrap of news I could find about Charles, his many girlfriends, and eventually, the girl he chose to be his princess.
A royal wedding! I was one of the wedding guests (okay, me and 750 million other people watching on television) as Lady Diana Spencer walked down the aisle of St. Paul's Cathedral to marry Prince Charles on July 29, 1981. I daydreamed about Diana's new life with her charming prince. Living in a luxurious palace, your every wish fulfilled, your every dream a happily-ever-after. Talk about a fairy tale come true. NOT. We all know how the fairy tale ended, in disillusion, despair, divorce … and ultimately, Diana's tragic death.
Whatever you think of Charles and Diana's fractured fairy tale, there's no denying that the British royal family knows how to put on a wedding. Prince William's wedding to his Kate on April 29, 2011 is evidence of that. An estimated 2 billion people tuned in to view the royal wedding, and I was watching right along with all of them. I flipped on the telly (how British!) at 3am, snuggled up in my cozy white wingback chair, and donned my sparkling diamond tiara just like Kate's (okay, granted mine is just rhinestones and only cost $20 … but still, it's a tiara! Am I the last romantic left in the world?). As Kate walked the aisle of Westminster Abbey, a regal bride approaching her prince, I sniffed. My tears flowed freely as William finally turned and gazed upon his princess.
I suppose by now it's obvious that I'm an addict when it comes to royal romance. Brides. Weddings. I love them! My day job as resident staff writer at a real American castle which hosts numerous weddings (nearly 200 last year) feeds my fix for royalty and romance. When I began daydreaming about a plot for a new book, my love for all things royal and weddings came into play. But it wasn't until my daughter Abby and her husband moved to Las Vegas a few years ago, that I really started thinking. Las Vegas, the wedding capital of the world. Voila! The framework for a new story was born.
What about you? Are you, like me, an avid royal watcher? Are you a romantic? If you're not married, do you daydream about a wedding in your future some day? What about Las Vegas? Has anyone you know (or maybe even you!) been married at a Vegas wedding chapel? Royalty… romance… let's chat!
Royal Secrets is the story of the Royal Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, and of Lily Lavender, whose family is distantly descended from the British royal family. Immersed in the regal world of weddings and romance, Lily grew up believing in brides, grooms and happily-ever-afters. It seemed her destiny and royal birthright to someday assume a position as wedding coordinator in their family-owned wedding chapel business. But when her mother Mimi's third marriage eventually fails, Lily's dreams of her own happily-ever-after quickly fade. She's no longer interested in a life of assisting brides walk down the aisle into a life of disillusionment and possible divorce. Lily turns her back on The Royal Wedding Chapel and leaves Las Vegas to fashion a life of her own. Years later, Lily — now a single mom — discovers her teenage daughter has run off to Las Vegas, lured by Mimi to help run the chapel. Determined to save her daughter from the broken dreams of Sin City and the nonsensical world of which family fairy tales are made, Lily returns to Las Vegas. But nothing prepares Lily for the royal drama which awaits her… or the sins and secrets she stumbles across that threaten to close the chapel and ruin her family forever.
Kathleen Irene Paterka is the author of numerous women's fiction novels which embrace universal themes of home, family life and love, including the James Bay series (Fatty Patty, Home Fires, Lotto Lucy). Kathleen is the resident staff writer for Castle Farms, a world-renowned castle listed on the National Historic Register, and co-author of the non-fiction book For the Love of a Castle. Having lived and studied abroad, Kathleen's educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from Central Michigan University. She and her husband live in the beautiful north country of Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
Katherine, thanks so much for hosting me on Chick Lit Club Connect!
Hooray! Another total Royalist! I have been a huge "follower" since Lady Diana first came on the scene. I got up at the crack of dawn to watch the wedding; cheered when her sons were born; and cried when her marriage fell apart. Her death was a complete shock to me. I remember in bed all night awake and remembering things about her life. I've followed all of the royals and have read as many biographies as I can about them. I love everything British and even have Roku so my husband and I can watch a lot of the BBC mysteries and comedies. When I lived in France years ago, my husband and I got to the UK several times. That was when I first discovered chick lit. I loved to "hit up" all of the bookstores and cram as many books in the car as I could. There is absolutely nothing better than picking up a chick lit book – especially one that takes place in the UK.
I'm looking forward to reading "Royal Secrets" and enjoyed "meeting" you today at Chick Lit Connect. All the best!
Thank you so much for stopping to visit with me during my 'royal tour'! I think you and I could be great friends, for I'm totally like you: read every 'royal biography' I can get my hands on, plus devour newspaper articles, magazines, and any on-line stories about the royals. Diana's death hit me very hard. I remember hearing about it in the early evening hours, and as each news bulletin came in, her condition was upgraded from 'broken leg' to 'head injuries' to 'worse and worse and worse'. And after the news came in that she had died, I lay in bed all night (just like you), awake, thinking about it, that it seemed surreal, that it couldn't be true. My heart went out to William and Harry. Watching her funeral, and those two boys, their heads bowed, as they processed behind her casket, had me in tears the entire day.
Hopefully, you'll find ROYAL SECRETS a much happier book that the story that played out between Diana and Charles.
Thanks for stopping by today to chat!

Police have warned the public not to approach a wanted man, who officers believe is living in Somerset.
James Ashworth, 27, is wanted after failing to comply with a court order.
A police appeal released on Friday afternoon (June 26) said: "He has links to the Hartcliffe and Knowle areas of Bristol, but is believed to be living in Somerset without having a fixed address at the moment.
"Ashworth is described as white, of average build and is about 5ft 8ins tall.
"Anyone who sees him is asked to call 999 rather than approach him and give reference 5220128271. If you know where he may be, call 101 and use the same reference number."

NBA: Dallas Mavericks 2020 Preview
Dallas was the best offensive team in the league in terms of offensive efficiency and by a wide margin. On the other hand, considering their average defensive unit, it was surprising how Dallas only managed to land the #7 seed in the West and was forced to play against one of the toughest opponents in the league, the Clippers, in the first round of the playoffs.
The Mavs should have landed a top 4 seed in the West last season. That did not happen due to their inability to win close games. They were the worst team in the league in games decided by 3 or fewer points, with a 2-11 record in such games, the only team with double digit close losses.
In the playoffs, Luka Doncic had some great moments but with Porzingis injured, Dallas had no chance against the Clippers.
As they were the #1 offense in the league last season, Dallas focused their attention in the offseason on defense. Dallas simply couldn't stop the Clippers' perimeter players and they didn't forget that. So, they gave up a great shooter in Seth Curry and got Josh Richardson. Even though Richardson isn't as good as a spot up shooter, he is a huge upgrade on defense and he will make Dallas a better perimeter defensive team. They also added James Johnson and Wes Iwundu for the same reason.
Luka Doncic will be a MVP contender this season and he will have a perfect offensive system surrounding him. The Mavs also count with the returns of Dwight Powell and Jalen Brunson who suffered injuries mid last season and missed the final stages of the season.
Dallas is counting on continuity and Doncic's development to be a contender this season. If the Mavs solve their incredible lack of clutch ability, they will be a top 4 seed this season. The key will be how long will Porzingis be still out. Dallas's frontcourt unit is a more traditional unit without shooting range without him, so Porzingis is a key piece in the team.

My hubby will be writing on Hist., Sports, Cookbooks, Bio. & Mystery. What type of genres do you enjoy? Some good author interviews coming. We are on Twitter:@1RadReader59 Bookbub: 19char59, Goodread: Char(1RadReader59) Enjoy reading, we will.
LET'S WELCOME AUTHOR OF: FAKE MARRIAGE FAVOR: KACY CROSS
KACY CROSS
AUTHOR OF:
Rad-Reader: What made you want to tell this story?
Kacy: I have always loved fake relationship stories and decided I wanted to write an entire series. Malone and Nomi insisted on telling me their story first, so I always listen to my characters!
Rad-Reader: Where did the idea come from?
Kacy: I always start asking my characters questions and as they answer them, the story springs from there. I had no clue what this book would be about until they told me.
Rad-Reader: Can you tell us some backstory about your two many characters that the blurb doesn't tell?
Kacy: Malone is the ex-CEO of a multi-million-dollar company that his former fiancé stole from him, which wounded him deeply. Nomi's brother went to prison because she didn't defend him successfully and she's pretty messed up from losing him, as well as dealing with her own failure. That's why it's such an emotional story--these two friends are supporting each other through some pretty heavy stuff.
Rad-Reader: How long did it take you to write this story?
Kacy: About two months.
Rad-Reader: Do you use a rough draft when you write or just write?
Kacy: I always outline first and then write. Once I'm finished, the story is pretty complete at that point and only lacks editing.
Rad-Reader: Why is it that Nomi is so afraid to let Malone kiss her?
Kacy: Because she doesn't want anything to change between them. She's lost her brother and her career--she couldn't stand losing anything else!
Rad-Reader: Malone said himself that he has been looking after Nomi. So, why does he act so weird about liking her? In a way, he would or could marry her, right?
Kacy: He's gun-shy after his fiance stole his company. He doesn't want to be hurt again, so it's easier to stay friends with Nomi, even when they get married.
Rad-Reader: Malone's ex-sure did a number on him what exactly did she do to him?
Kacy: She saw an opportunity to steal his designs and launch them as her own--which is what she did! Then Malone's company couldn't survive so he had to sell it.
Rad-Reader: After the company bought him out did they fold or are they still in business?
Kacy: Malone doesn't know and doesn't care, so he never checks. :)
Rad-Reader: Nomi's friends know the score about their marriage, but Carolina gives him a talking to about the gift. Is that the gift of "each other?"
Kacy: She was actually talking about the segment on her show, Ask Carolina. But she's so crafty, she probably meant the gift of each other too.
Rad-Reader: We see this mostly from Malone's POV. Is that mainly because he is such a loner and he has the most problem with mingling?
Kacy: This is such an interesting question because Nomi and Malone have exactly the same number of chapters in each of their points of view. He's definitely a loner and has a heavier emotional burden than Nomi, but the story is equally both of theirs. I'll take it as a compliment that you responded to him so much that it seemed like it was mostly from his POV.
Rad-Reader: Before the, I do's, they both have feelings for one another. Why not talk about it?
Kacy: Because they both refused to admit it! It takes a lot of time for them to unravel the lies they're telling themselves about their feelings.
Rad-Reader: So, is Mikel saying he wasn't guilty but that she got on her high horse and found him guilty as her own private jury of one?
Kacy: :) You'll have to read Mikel's book to find out. It's coming later this year.
Rad-Reader: Malone is talking himself right out of a relationship with Nomi. What is he thinking exactly? When it comes to wanting to love her and being alone?
Kacy: He's just scared. :) Poor guy. He needs a strong woman to get him over his fears, but don't worry--I gave him one.
Rad-Reader: Malone is touchy about his job and his past. Every time he puts up barriers, she tries to break them, and he gets upset. Why? Yet, he can but in about her brother, no problem, right?
Kacy: He's so touchy because losing his company bothers HIM. He doesn't like being reminded of his failures. On the flip side, he sees his concern about Mikel as looking out for Nomi, not butting in. I think a lot of men are like this. :)
Rad-Reader: It's like he wants her and the kissing but on his terms. Is that just the alpha male in him?
Kacy: You bet. Alpha males are the best characters!
Rad-Reader: He agreed to be her husband to get back at Camille and she needs him to run for the office. But was upfront with him. After that kiss. How can she figure out a way to pay him back and how not to make him not be sad?
Kacy: It's a challenge all right, but she's up to it.
Rad-Reader: Nomi and Malone have been kissing on a regular basis. Then the picture comes out of the both of them with her running mate and all he can think is if Camille saw the picture. Really? What is he ever doing kissing Nomi? He's the one that brought it up in the first place.
Kacy: So that's where Malone gets what he asked for and realized that wasn't what he wanted after all. That's my favorite thing to do to characters.
Rad-Reader: If your book was made into a movie who would you want to play…
Nomi: Nathalie Kelley
Malone: Theo James
Kacy: Those are great choices! I couldn't think of anyone better.
Rad-Reader: What song or songs best describes your couple or your book as a whole?
"Devastating – Roman Alexander"
What Nomi feels like to Malone when he's near her. So, when she asks for a favor, he feels hard pressed to say yes. To help her.
https://youtu.be/9yP_FCGCRLs
"Alone Together – Daley ft. Marsha Ambrosius"
Malone really wants Nomi with all that's in him but he has skeleton's in his closet that makes that impossible. She couldn't do it alone when he was a loner.
https://youtu.be/uV2kWGSFYXM
"I Can't Make You Love Me – Tank"
Nomi had promised Malone to remain friends with Malone. He felt the same way. But slowly Nomi's feelings were changing. After their first kiss. So, were his feelings, but he locked them down because of his bad experience. Nomi was in it alone.
https://youtu.be/NXnhWthZ_k4
Kacy: I hate to confess this, but I don't listen to a lot of popular music. Too busy writing!
Rad-Reader: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
Kacy: 1st grade!
Rad-Reader: Do you write under a pen name? If so, why? You wrote for Hallmark too, Moonlight in Vermont. Which I enjoyed the movie.
Kacy: I did write a book for Hallmark and yes, I use a pen name because I always wanted to pick my name when I published a book.
Rad-Reader: How did you come to write a book for them? How did you like writing for them?
Kacy: I love writing for Hallmark! I have known my editor for a long time and when the Moonlight in Vermont project came up, she thought I'd be good for it. I was thrilled to get the opportunity.
Rad-Reader: Did you have any say with the movie? When it was made for the Hallmark Channel Movie? If so, did you get to be on set?
Kacy: No, I actually wrote the book based on the movie, so the movie came first! Hopefully one day it will work out the other way around.
Rad-Reader: When did you publish your first book?
Kacy: Moonlight in Vermont came out in January of 2018
Rad-Reader: What is your favorite food?
Kacy: Chocolate
Rad-Reader: What three items can't you leave home with daily?
Kacy: I work from home and actually don't leave the house very often! But when I do, I have to have my wallet, phone, and car keys.
Rad-Reader: What is your next project and when will it be due out?
Kacy: Fake Marriage Mistake is Lilith's book and it comes out February 1st.
Rad-Reader: Where can our readers buy your books? Links
Kacy: My books are free to read in Kindle Unlimited or you can buy them on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/author/kacycross
Rad-Reader: Where can our readers find you on the Web? Links

The Effect of a First Child on Female Labor Supply: Evidence from Women Seeking Fertility Services
Julian P. Cristia
Julian Cristia
Estimating the causal effect of a first child on female labor supply is complicated by the endogeneity of fertility. This paper addresses this problem by focusing on a sample of women from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) who sought help to become pregnant. After a certain period, only some of these women gave birth. Results using this strategy show that having a first child younger than one year old reduces female employment by 26 percentage points. These estimates are close to OLS estimates from census data and to those from OLS and fixed-effects models on NSFG data.

A spotlight on the dark corners of Britain's detention and deportation regime
The last few weeks have proved a shocking reminder of Britain's cruel detention and deportation regime.
In the early hours of Tuesday 10 February, a charter flight took off to Jamaica, deporting men who had been here since infancy, and who were more British than foreign.
Just hours later, chilling footage emerged which shows a group of guards violently assaulting a rape survivor, known as CA.
And this weekend revealed the abuse of Lionel, who is partially sighted and partially deaf, who spent four days in agony after detention centre staff refused to take him to hospital for treatment on his ankle. When he was finally taken to hospital, an x-ray showed his ankle is broken in four places.
This brutality is all too common. And it is not a design flaw – it is the inevitable conclusion of a system which treats people as less than human.
Hidden brutality
The horrific violence faced by CA is not a one-off. Abuse of immigration detainees in detention and at the point of removal is widespread – we've seen it from the Brook House scandal to the death of Jimmy Mubenga.
Most of this brutality goes on behind closed doors. What happens on charter flights and in immigration detention is notoriously secretive and opaque, taking place away from public scrutiny and in the middle of the night.
The government is anxious to to keep this grim reality a secret, and to prevent those who are affected by this system from speaking out to seek justice.
Just hours before the flight to Jamaica was due to take off, the courts ruled that it would be unlawful to remove people who hadn't had access to lawyers and this led to 56 people being pulled off the flight. This is by no means the "due process" Ministers claimed had occurred, and there are always serious concerns about access to justice for those in detention.
In the case of CA, her distress was caused because it was unclear whether or not she was supposed to be on a charter flight - a common experience when access to lawyers is limited due to legal aid cuts and private companies run the show.
Moreover, if people in detention are unable to access a lawyer, and denied justice, then there is no telling whether their removal is wrongful, particularly as the Home Office refuses to monitor what happens to people after a flight has left.
Branding people as 'foreign criminals'
The framing of those facing deportation has been skewed by the government, who consistently referred to those on the flight as 'serious' criminals.
We know that many of the people who were considered liable for deportation had single offences and had not re-offended in the years since their sentences were served. Some were avid campaigners, some carers for their disabled partners and some were simply trying to move on with their lives. Whilst those with a British passport who commit the same crimes are allowed to rehabilitate, those with the 'wrong' documentation are punished twice for the same crime.
This country prides itself on giving people equal treatment before the law - and that must extend to treating people equally once they've served their sentences.
Lessons not learned
The Windrush Scandal underlined how this system works in practice when it made headlines in 2018, particularly as it revealed the wrongful detention and deportation of commonwealth citizens.
In the aftermath of that scandal, the government commissioned Wendy Williams to oversee an independent "Lessons Learned Review" which they said would ensure that a scandal of this nature would never happen again.
Two years on, the deportation flight to Jamaica shows us that this was a false promise. Not only are we still waiting for the publication of that review, but leaked copies clearly show that wide reform of the Home Office is needed. In a damning assessment, Wendy Williams herself describes the culture in the Home Office as deaf and defensive, and unwilling to learn from past mistakes.
And yet the government is repeating the same mistakes by chartering this flight to Jamaica, despite the fact that the people on the flight had either lived in the UK since they were children or have been here for the better part of their lives.
This system must be dismantled
It was the Windrush scandal which really brought the everyday brutality of immigration detention and removal to light. The case of CA once again shows us the very real consequences of a political class which weaponises the language of walls and fences, and passes laws intended to punish people for simply existing.
The fact that this flight has gone ahead without the formal publication of the Lessons Learned Review means that the government's apologies to the Windrush generation are nothing but lip service.
And now that the public has borne witness to the brutality of the system, there can be no doubt in anyone's mind: it's time to scrap the hostile environment, it's time to end immigration detention, and deportations must be stopped.
Nadia Whittome MP has tabled a motion calling for the release of the report and implementation of its recommendations in full. Please ask your MP today to add their name to the campaign, and bring an end to the brutal detention and deportation system.

Learning to Walk — A Startup's perspective.
Ravi Kamalendiran
Dec 5, 2019 · 8 min read
In the mid part of 2016, a class mate who I hadn't seen for over fifteen years sent a message to our otherwise colorful school WhatsApp group, asking about how to set up a company and that he too was about to move back to Sri Lanka after an extensive stint in the middle east. As I had done the same only a couple of years back, I replied with some of the information needed. The following blog is an attempt to capture how we started, the driving forces behind our growth, the pitfalls we faced and where we are now.
Every animal that's born takes a certain amount of time before it can walk, for some animals that time might be quite small as fifteen to thirty minutes, like in the case of herbivores on the plains of Africa. But for some animals that period can be relatively long like for us humans where we start to walk almost after a year since birth. Organizations behave quite similarly where some find their feet relatively sooner whilst others take more time and the ones that don't or forget how to walk go out of existence. This blog tries to explain how Cloud Solutions International (CSI), a two-year-old organization is trying to walk.
CSI is the only off shore IT company of the Dr. Sulaiman Al-Habib medical group, a group that owns multiple hospitals in three different countries as well as an IT company in its home country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It should be noted that all the other sibling companies are profit centers whilst CSI is the only cost center — which means we are like the flat footed little sibling born in to a family where all the other members of the family are Olympic Champions. So pressure was something we were accustomed to from day one.
Birth to the Six Month Period
Creating and driving an organization is an uphill task, which is made easier or more difficult based on the employees you hire. It was no exception for us as well, but fortunately for us we hired right and we had people who knew what type of people were needed. After clearing the initial hurdle of getting approval by the relevant authorities, we got down to the business of clearing the next hurdle, which was location. Location is the pull factor for potential employees, other than the marketing done by the interviewer. The initial approval was for eighty staff members so we needed an office space that was accessible, was in a decent location and cost effective. We started off by renting a room with four desks at the Bernard's office space location as the current office at St Anthony's Mawatha had to be refurbished. Soon as the cafeteria was renovated at the current office, we shifted with interviews being held both at the café, as well as White and Co. We wanted an open culture where everyone had access to and could communicate with everyone, also we wanted a flat structure. We also ensured that the entire office was open without individual work spaces where each desk was a hot desk and the senior staff was encouraged to move desks every now and then.
We had quite a few informal gatherings whilst trying to establish processes and standards. We celebrated everything from festivals to birthdays coming together as a company. The advantages of this approach was that people started to come out of their shells, contributing and wanting to contribute towards the growth and success of the organization. There were many late nights but there were relatively no complains. The disadvantage of our approach was two-fold, the first one is that, we failed to understand the importance of support staff such as Project Managers, Business Analysts, Human Resources. Because of our employee strength some neglecting support staff didn't impact us too much, although having them from the start would definitely have changed where we are now. The second disadvantage was our office approach. Agile teams should be collocated with the scrum master being the gate keeper to the team. Open office meant that we didn't have shut off spaces where one team can occupy and work together.
Impact of the disadvantages were negated by our employees and their "never give up" attitude. Talented employees who loved our technology stack along with the "never say die" attitude meant that we were able to work through our issues by coming together, ensuring that senior staff and the junior staff shared the long work hours.
Cloud Solutions International had started to roll over in its proverbial cot.
Six Months to the one-year period
Excitement and eagerness to learn a relatively unknown domain was the overall theme within the organization during this period. The domain knowledge was given by experts who flew down to Sri Lanka and spent their time with us in Colombo. On our part we ensured that every subject matter expert who touched our shores fell in love with our country. Each subject matter expert or SME held knowledge pertaining to their respective areas. We had a Lab Manager from the Dubai hospital to teach us how a medical laboratory works. For our clinical modules we had a neonatal pediatric consultant bringing us up to speed on the doctor's view of an outpatient, inpatient, labour and delivery room as well as Neonatal Intensive Care Units. We also had nurses, intensive care unit staff and financial experts from our parent group visit us in order to update our knowledge.
Daily knowledge transfer sessions were the norm where during the day we would listen to how the system should work and in the evening would put them in to documentation with possible diagrams. The documents were then sent to the expert to review and either change or accept. In parallel our user interface and user experience were busy building prototypes which were also demonstrated and improved. We had three teams in the beginning working on one finance module, Revenue Cycle Management, a clinical module aimed at the outpatient department and the Laboratory Module which was an ancillary requirement.
Highlight has to be how we celebrated our one-year anniversary at Cinnamon Grand along with our Group CEO and our Sister Company CEO. The exact details of the celebrations are a bit hazy to me as it was that good a party. The baby had started to crawl and was not confined to the cot.
First to the Second Year
Sometime during the first year, we got news that the Ministry of Health for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was looking for a vendor to implement an HIS system in line with their vision to become paperless. Our sister company was also in the running to be one of the chosen vendors. But as the Ministry of Health or MOH wanted a cloud application, we were asked to ramp up. In response to the demands, our company begun growing almost doubling in head count. We also started to circumvent process, where from Scrum we switched to Kanban without keeping the work in progress to a minimum and integration between modules were not considered. I akin these decisions to the process of learning to walk, where the first few steps aren't sure footed and more often than not involves the act of falling.
But with the act of falling also comes the knowledge of how to break fall and also how to rise back up after the pitfalls. Cloud Solutions International kept at trying to create a system that was worthy of a nation. We started more modules like the Specialized Clinics, Operation Room and towards the end of the second year, the Emergency Room which were all clinical modules. We also started the Pharmacy, and Blood Bank module which were ancillary requirements. And we also started the administration modules of which would take care of where the patient gets admitted to. It has to be stated that we bit off a bit more than what we could chew. But the workforce didn't lose faith, as they persevered through days and nights ensuring that the VIDA Health Information System took shape.
And as the system started to take shape, we could say that we had start to wobble, not entirely confident, but not giving up on walking either.
Second Year to Present
The second year involved course correction, and for starters we got a Human Resources Manager, and the Human Resources Function was established. We also got a Business Analyst Lead to compliment the UI/UX Lead and along with Social Media Management established the Product Management function. The Project Management, Data Analysis and Data Migration functions was given priority with the objective of going in to production. The Dev-Ops team was created with a mixture of both internal resources as well as external recruitment. With the establishment of these functions we started to see benefits. The Human Resources function was tasked with allowing an open culture as well as looking after employees bring about a work-life balance. With the product management function came ownership for the requirements where the Business Analysts were empowered to act as proxy product owners. With project managers becoming more statistical came the maintenance and tracking internal data tracking which would lead to governance.
From a product perspective, we involved our sister company, Cloud Solutions (CS) in the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia, with the objective of having an independent test team verify the functionality, stability and certify that the product was indeed up to standard fit for a hospital. We also had an independent security audit done on the application as well and we consulted a US based company on Usability. The analysis of the above mentioned external parties meant that we had a pretty accurate idea of where our product is and what we needed to do, in order to get it where want it to be. It was another hurdle, but one which our teams knew how to clear. We started with amalgamating services and databases to a manageable size, moving on to implementing the security considerations mentioned, whilst in parallel we also started fixing issues that were raised by the CS test team. And when it came to change in functionality, we started to prioritize and analyze both the impact of doing the change vs risk of not going ahead with the change, so that only absolutely necessary changes made it the developer whilst the rest were captured in the backlog.
As the iterations went by, we started to see that our product became more stable, it became more manageable to build and deploy. Errors were becoming easier to debug and the gremlins stayed away. The wobble had gone and in its place was a confident stride. In my opinion it is the pace of the stride and maintaining the pace was what was left for us to work on.
At present we are in the process of going live for the Ministry of Interior (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). We are also doing demonstrations to prospective clients and where the clients themselves are in the process of doing proof of concepts with our system. Conquering the Saudi Arabian Health market certainly was not an easy task, and in that task we have just started to scratch the surface. We won a couple of local awards and were also recognized by Oracle (KSA) along the way. We have been honored to have our products also listed alongside Healthcare giants such as Epic and Cerner.
Cloud Solutions International Drives Healthcare Innovations and the innovations we did allow us to seamlessly switch between one cloud provider to another, switch between one database to another, run on a managed Kubernetes Environment or on a platform built from bare metal.
The organization that was conceptualized in 2016 is now definitely walking, a confident walk. But we will stay humble and ensure that we change with technology as if we do not, how can our clients stay ahead of disruptive technology.
