Saranormal: Ghost Town
0 0 5 Author: Phoebe Rivers
E-book.
Sara Collins is a normal 12 year old girl with an abnormal secret: she is psychic. Sara has had her abilities for as long as she can remember, but she doesn't like to talk about them. She hopes that if she ignores them, they might go away. Sara wants nothing more than to have a normal life, and to her "normal" doesn't include anything paranormal.
But Sara's abilities aren't going away... in fact, changes are happening in Sara's life that will make her abilities even more powerful. Her life is about to be turned upside down because she's moving across the country with her dad to an old shore town in New Jersey. A shore town with a lot of history... and more than its fair share of ghosts.
Ghost Townplaces Sara in the fun setting of a shore town with a beach and a boardwalk. As Sara tries to settle into her new home, she discovers that not only is she surrounded by ghosts, but for the first time, the ghosts around her can communicate with her. One ghost in particular is intent on communicating with Sara because he desperately needs something from her. Sara wants to help, but she's scared. Can Sara put her fear aside and help the spirit? Will doing so put herin jeopardy?
Meanwhile, Sara meets a great local girl named Lily Randazzo, and against all odds, really bonds with her. Sara has made a true friend for the first time in her life. Maybe New Jersey isn't so bad after all...

Sametz Blackstone Associates
Six nonprofit strategies to help your for-profit business thrive
By Roger Sametz for MarketingProfs
Nonprofits have had to develop approaches and skills that for-profits can learn from to improve their competitive position, customer relations, and their long-term health and value.
Nonprofits, by definition, aren't driven by the need to generate quarterly or yearly surpluses like for-profits, or to keep stock prices up, so why would there be a need for nonprofit brand strategy? Because not having to make a profit isn't the same thing as not needing income.
Many nonprofits must keep diverse revenue streams healthy: earned income from sales of products and services; contributed income from individual donors, foundations, the government, and corporations; and funds generated through sponsorships and partnerships.
To be successful in each (and all) of those endeavors, nonprofits have had to develop approaches and skills that for-profits can learn from to improve their competitive position, their customer relations, and their long-term health and value.
1. Connect on a deeper level
A nonprofit's mission and vision give people a reason to engage with an organization and to believe in it. Successful nonprofit value propositions go beyond fulfilling daily tactical needs; they fulfill emotional ones. That connection, when nurtured and sustained, engenders loyalty, creates advocates and ambassadors, and, when needed, provides some margin for forgiveness if things go awry. Customers, participants, board members, donors, sponsors feel they are part of a shared enterprise.
For a business, forging this sort of deeper connection can add value both to offerings and to the enterprise, provide differentiation, and move offerings further away from being evaluated as a commodity. Price is less of an issue if a customer or prospect believes in an organization's mission, identifies with what its brand "means," or feels included in a promulgated culture. Big companies like Apple and Starbucks connect in these ways; loyal customers feel that these brands enhance, or at least align, with their "personal brands."
Forging a deeper, emotional connection can add value both to your offerings and to the enterprise, provide differentiation, and move offerings further away from being evaluated as a commodity.
Forty years ago, Tom's of Maine brought out toothpaste that people could believe in, and their user-advocates became a huge unpaid sales force. More current, The New York Times, an organization that was historically fueled by single-paper sales, subscriptions, and advertising revenue, now earns money from events that carry its imprimatur—and, importantly, from contributions from those who believe the value of the Times (particularly in these times) should be made available to those who would otherwise not have access.
2. Focus on relationships, not transactions
Nonprofit organizations with something to sell (museums and performing arts organizations, for example) know that selling single tickets will never generate the earned income they need. Subscriptions and memberships can deliver increased revenue; however, for those vehicles to be successful, people have to want to have a relationship with an organization. Subscription buyers may focus on programs they want to attend, but they also sign up for events they're less knowledgeable about because they trust the organization to provide a worthwhile experience.
And though membership status generally confers some benefits (a shorter line, preferred parking, discounts), it's clear to all that the dollar outlay for membership is higher than what the benefits add up to: Becoming a member is really a decision to form a relationship.
For businesses, a focus on relationships encourages repeat customers, lowers the cost of doing business, increases margins, and facilitates cross-selling; moreover, again, it is instrumental in building a corps of ambassador-advocates. I may not have an emotional relationship with Amazon, but as an Amazon Prime member I'm more likely to go first to Amazon when I need, well, anything. In the same way, I subscribe to a select number of video streaming services not because I have my mind set on watching this or that particular program, but because I see them as trusted curators and resources (as opposed to my cable provider).
3. Know your customers and prospects
For nonprofits, getting to know their current and prospective constituents has never been an elective. Because no one has to go to the ballet, visit nature sanctuaries, or even care about hunger in neighborhoods one may never visit. It's imperative, therefore, that nonprofits get to know their current and prospective clients, customers, and donors—and understand the rational and emotional drivers that connect, or could connect, these people to the organization.
A focus on relationships encourages repeat customers, lowers the cost of doing business, increases margins, and facilitates cross-selling
Through quantitative and qualitative research, nonprofits can identify the different "ways in" to their organization. For example, customers and donors to a symphony orchestra may care about preserving and presenting the time-honored orchestral canon; a smaller segment might be interested in advancing new music; others are enthusiastic about educational initiatives for kids; some take pride in the performance space; and still others value the social opportunities the organization affords. All are valid ways in.
With that type of knowledge, an organization—for-profit or nonprofit—can develop targeted, values-based messages and themes to move the conversation to the intersection of what the organization does well or wants to advance, and what constituents will engage in. They can meet people where those people are.
4. Understand the "distance" constituents are from you… so you can move them closer
Nonprofit brand strategy gauges the the "distance" constituents are from the "center"—so they can move them further in. To return to our orchestra example: the organization's success depends, in part, on moving a single ticket buyer to become a subscriber, then annual fund donor, then major donor.
With an understanding of the different possible "ways in," you can develop targeted, values-based messages and themes; you can meet people where they are
A for-profit's website becomes a good place to implement "know where they are and move them closer" thinking, through the creation of appropriate paths for different visitors. Someone coming to a site for the first time needs a welcoming handshake and, often, general information before they get into specific products. The "why" and the "who" behind a potential purchase is as important as the "what" you're offering. On the other hand, a repeat customer just needs product specifications and an order page—ideally already populated with a current profile.
5. Invest in the master brand
Nonprofits can't build a diverse raft of offerings, initiatives, or names (especially non-self-explanatory ones) into meaningful, recognizable brands: they don't the time, money, or opportunities. Instead, they must sell from the top down (master brand > offering). Investing at the highest brand level ensures that buzz and equity of successful initiatives flow "up" to the master brand to build trust and loyalty.
For businesses, selling from the master brand on down lowers the cost of introducing offerings, fosters cross-selling, and builds connections that transcend a particular product. German automakers have always gotten this concept: the Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8 are different cars, but they are all Audis—and thus infused with, and so reinforce, the overarching value of the Audi brand. Model numbers easily map to features, benefits, and expectations. On the other hand, the relative positions (and value propositions) of Ford's non-intuitively branded car offerings—Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max, Taurus, Mustang—are more complex to parse and connect.
6. Run a tight—and motivated—ship
Nonprofits are often efficient because they are forced to do more with fewer resources. United by a common cause, nonprofits have staff who are engaged and motivated beyond the paycheck they receive—and their volunteer boards raise capital, take on tasks, and serve as ambassadors.
Nonprofits also have to stretch every brand communication dollar. For them (and for businesses), the integration of print, digital, environmental, and social communications is the only way to ensure that every communication dollar reinforces every other one. Shared typographic and color palettes, along with approaches to design and imagery, build brand recognition, meaning, trust, and participation.
For years, nonprofits were told by for-profit enterprises to become more businesslike. They have. Now they have much to teach.
Nonprofits have learned a lot of best-practices from the corporate world: they have become more businesslike in their approach to building their brand. And now, in today's noisy, complex brand environment, they have much to teach for-profits—and they would be smart to absorb as many lessons as possible.

Becca Anne Robinson, a graduate student in Iceland, posted a very comprehensive Iceland travel guide in the Facebook group Girls Love Travel. It is a very comprehensive guide covering how to get there, how to get around, where to stay, and what to do, plus quite a few frequently asked questions.
To make the guide accessible to more people, I am publishing it here with Becca's permission. Make sure to bookmark this Iceland travel guide for your future trip to the Land of Fire and Ice!
Welcome to my favorite sub-Arctic island! Iceland is full of wonders both natural and man-made, but it's up to you to make sure you have a safe, responsible, and unforgettable experience. Here are some tips to help you plan.
The two Icelandic airlines are IcelandAir and WOW Air. Both run promos and sales almost in tandem with each other, so it is often simple to find good airfare. If I want to travel easy, I usually choose IcelandAir as it's more comfy; you have access to entertainment and selected refreshments as well as better baggage allowance.
With WOW, base fare is cheap but everything else is an added fee. They're growing and not nearly as bad as they used to be regarding delays, but like any budget airline, you get what you pay for.
Flybus is operated by Reykjavik Excursions and provides direct transportation to the BSÍ bus terminal as well as direct hotel drop-off and pick-up services. They also offer a variety of tour packages.
Gray Line is also a tour company that provides airport transfer between KEF and RVK.
Airport Direct is a newer company with shuttle service operating now and bus service beginning in March 2018.
Stræto is the local public bus transportation service, traveling within Reykjavik as well as around the countryside. It takes longer to get to the airport with Stræto, so I think this is more convenient for in-town transportation. A one-way ride in town costs around $4.50 (this will probably go up on Jan 1) but countryside buses are more pricey.
If you're looking to travel the country on your own, definitely look into renting a car or camper van! There are so many options available that it can be really overwhelming to choose.
Other travelers have had good luck with Lotus, and additionally I recommend recognizable rental services that have desks directly in the airport arrivals hall such as Hertz, Avis, or Enterprise. For those with award travel credit cards, check to see whether or not you can earn points or miles by booking cars through certain companies!
Expect the possibility of hefty insurance holds (read the fine print!) and always take care when traveling on gravel roads or in windy conditions. Car doors can bend the wrong way if you're caught in a gusty gale!
Also, take seriously the recommendations and restrictions regarding the types of roads on which you should drive. I have seen some rental cars in awful situations, resulting from negligent driving. Remember: no insurance covers river crossings!
You may also be entitled to fuel discounts at select petrol stations, depending on the car company you use. The best deals are often found at Orkan X, but N1 (pronounced N8 because the Icelandic "1" is pronounced like the English "8"…who knew!) is a popular and convenient travel stop. Check out this TripCreator blog to compare fuel stations for yourself.
Gas pumps often require a chip-and-pin card, so please be aware of this. You may pay inside during opening hours, but you can also get a pre-paid card if you're anticipating traveling overnight without a compatible card.
Parking is only allowed in designated parking areas and campsites, but you may technically park anywhere as long as you have the land owner's permission. Many natural attractions perceived as public lands are actually privately owned; the land owners have graciously opened them to the public but they do not belong to the public. Please respect their property so that we can continue to enjoy these marvels!
The most important thing to know about Iceland is that our weather can change in an instant! We are in the middle of three atmospheric fronts, so our weather depends on which one of those fronts is winning. The north Atlantic currents help keep our temperatures mild, but our weather can be anything but.
A rule of thumb is to expect wind and rain, and be pleasantly surprised if it's sunny and calm. To keep informed about the current weather, forecasted weather, and loads of other information regarding earthquakes, aurora and potential volcanic activity, check out the website for the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
Road closures happen relatively often and there are many roads in the central highlands that are inaccessible. Storms have been known to wash out some roads in the south and east, and wind gusts will cause coastal roads to close as they are simply not safe to drive in these conditions.
If you are concerned about road conditions affecting your plans, you can check the current and projected status of the roads here.
That said, don't let the weather put you off visiting us. Iceland in winter can be really beautiful!
A considerable percentage of properties in Iceland are now Airbnb listings, but they book quickly and they are not cheap. Hostels aren't, either. Whatever your itinerary, you need to plan accommodations in advance! In town, a few of my favorite hostels are Bus Hostel and KEX Hostel; women travelers have also enjoyed the centrally located Hlemmur Square Hostel as well.
Food isn't cheap either; a decent dinner will likely run anywhere between $50-$100 before drinks, which are, on average, $12-$25 if they're alcoholic. If that isn't your style, you can grab a falafel for $12 or a delicious Icelandic hotdog (an absolute must!) for $4.50.
Better yet, grocery shop for most of your meals! The budget stores have limited hours (which is why they can afford to be budget) and the cheapest one is Bónus. Kronan is great, too. Beware of 10/11 or smaller corner shops; in some cases, they charge up to triple the price because they're open later. If it's daytime, check out a budget store instead!
There are tons of museums, cafes, and boutique shops in Reykjavik, many of which lie on the main shopping street Laugavegur. Visit the famous Hallgrimskirkja and Harpa, and check out the sculpture walk along the bay where you can see Solfar.
Take a walk down by the old harbor and walk to the top of Þúfan (Thufa) for an incredible view of the mountains across the bay. Then, stop at Valdis for some famous Icelandic ice cream.
The flea market Kolaportið (Kolaportid) is open Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm, and it is a great place to find gifts. Try some Christmas cake, or buy some fresh fish. Oh, and again…Icelandic hot dog stands! You can find them all around town and, especially, at the public swimming pools.
This is probably the most crowded part of Iceland, besides Reykjavik. However, don't let that deter you from seeing it!
The Golden Circle includes Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, Kerið (Kerid) crater, and more. Along the south coast, you can hike up to the hot river around Reykjadalur from the town of Hveragerði (Hveragerdi) and relax in the geothermal waters.
The south coast is where you'll find about a million waterfalls including Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, as well as the black sand beach at Vik and the famous plane wreckage. Please exercise caution on the beach; tourists have died from creeper waves and rip currents that occur there!
You will also gain unprecedented access to some of our glaciers; the outlet glacier Solheimajökull is easily accessible to approach, but you should not hike on the ice without crampons or a guide due to heavy crevassing and calving. Several glacier lagoons dot the southeast coast, including the famous Jökulsarlon near Diamond Beach.
If you wish, you may also take the ferry to the stunning Westman Islands. These volcanic islands are a great place to hike up to a still-cooling volcano and see puffins in the summer!
This stunning peninsula is home to Snæfellsjökull National Park, featuring the glacier Snæfellsjökull surrounded by impressive lava fields.
Stop along the black sand beaches and quaint towns of Stykkisholmur, Grundarfjordur, Olafsvik, and Hellissandur along the north coast of the peninsula. The south coast of the peninsula has stunning bird cliff views and a few hidden cafes as well as a couple very well hidden hot pots!
The West Fjords area is one of the hardest areas of the island to access, as the roads are only open a certain time of year. However, if the weather cooperates and you have time to drive back and forth around fjords for hours, it is a stunning trip!
Visit the arctic foxes Ingi and Mori in Suðavík (Sudavik), watch planes pop in and out of the airport in lovely Ísafjörður (Isafjordur), and climb to the top of a man-made avalanche barrier in colorful Flateyri. Soak in Arctic seaside hot pots in Drangsnes and do not miss a hike around stunning Dynjandi waterfall!
If you have time, check out the largest bird cliff in the world Latrabjarg for puffin season, generally running April-September.
The second largest city in Iceland is the crown jewel of the north: Akureyri. Akureyri is an absolute gem and offers a touch of civilization if you are missing it! It reminds me of a mini Reykjavik in some ways, but has a lot more trees and some lovely quiet natural areas to walk around.
Make sure to get some ice cream at Brynja and walk around the botanical garden, then pop down to the Christmas House for Christmas all year round! Akureyri is at the base of the peninsula Tröllaskagi, which is one of the most beautiful parts of Iceland. The quaint town of Siglufjörður (Siglufjordur) is my favorite!
From Akureyri, you are about 30 km from Goðafoss (Godafoss) and about 100 km from Myvatn and Reykjahlíð (Reykjahlid), as well as the Krafla geothermal area. If you have time to hike around the Leirhnjukur lava field, do it! Then, head across the desert highlands to Dettifoss, Europe's largest waterfall by volume.
The East Fjords are lovely as well, and tend to match the West Fjords in terms of seclusion and serenity. This is a quiet and adventurous trek; beware of road conditions through mountain passes but expect your efforts to be rewarded with gorgeous views as you descend into the little towns.
I have really enjoyed eating fresh fish in Djupivogur, side-tracking to explore Sveinsstekksfoss, and finally landing in Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfjordur). This is where the ferry to Denmark departs, and is a lovely place to stop and rest.
For the purposes of this Iceland travel guide, the Central Highlands refers to basically everything in the middle! This is where things get really dangerous and mostly inaccessible.
However, there are places near the central highlands that are easily accessible, such as Hraunfossar and Barnafoss near the Langjökull glacier. For a true highlands adventure across the volcanic desert or around the remote glaciated regions, I definitely recommend going with a tour company such as Icelandic Mountain Guides.
I trust Mountain Guides with my life, and they know their way around the dangerously free-interpretive roads and winding river crossings that occur in the highland region.
The Northern Lights are not seasonal in the sense that we perceive seasons on Earth; they actually have to do with the Sun and its magnetic cycle. In a nutshell, what happens is this: as the Sun rotates, it drags its magnetic field around with it until the magnetic field gets really tangled up.
Loops of magnetic field lines end up getting stuck in the Sun's outer layer (called the photosphere) and attract the charged gas (plasma) there. Eventually, enough magnetic energy builds up such that those loops break and send the plasma free to fly through space, sometimes towards us.
If that Sun plasma reaches Earth and couples correctly with Earth's magnetic field, the Sun plasma travels down the Earth's magnetic field lines to the magnetic poles, essentially "raining" down.
As the Sun plasma starts to rain down, it begins to interact with the higher levels of Earth's atmosphere; in particular, the ionosphere. In the ionosphere, the Sun plasma undergoes nuclear reactions with several types of oxygen ions, releasing light as each electron in each atom changes energy levels from the reactions.
That light is what we see as Northern Lights, or Aurora. It usually looks green, but deep and bright purples can creep in there if the interactions are strong enough. Iceland happens to be at one of the best latitudes to see the lights in the Northern hemisphere, so if anything is happening, we can usually see it from here.
Unfortunately, Iceland only has darkness for half of the year so they aren't visible in the summer. It isn't because they aren't happening; it's because it's too bright outside to see them if they are.
The lights tend to be strongest around the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, or in March and September, because of the alignment of Earth's magnetic field with respect to the Sun's magnetic field. However, they can happen any time it's dark and clear enough to see them.
If you are lucky, follow this advice to learn how to take some amazing pics! Don't forget to take some time to just appreciate them; they love to dance around our winter skies.
A: The temperature ranges from roughly -10 C to 10 C, sometimes cooler, often a bit warmer in summer. However, our weather can be insane. A good rule of thumb is to dress in layers and wear waterproof everything. Waterproof linings, trousers, and boots are a must for Iceland!
Q: When do the puffins come?
A: They usually arrive in April and are gone by September. The best places to see them are in the Northeast, the West Fjords, the Westman Islands, the open sea, or any place with a nice cliff for them to perch.
Q: Should I be concerned about daylight?
A: Yes. In midsummer, we have no darkness. On the summer solstice, the sun "sets" just after midnight and "rises" again before 3AM. In winter, we have barely any sun. On the winter solstice, the sun "rises" after 11AM and "sets" long before 4PM. Take this into account if you're traveling during the dark days!
Q: Is it expensive in Iceland?
Q: Will I see the Northern Lights?
A: Probably not. But if you are lucky enough to be outside on a clear night when they arrive, then this is one of the best places to see them! Book a tour if you wish, but it isn't necessary. They can easily be seen from town, or wherever you are. Just look up!
Q: What language do Icelanders speak?
A: Icelandic, but will default to English almost automatically for visitors. Most are fluent in English.
Q: Do I have to shower naked before entering the public pools?
A: Yeah. It's not weird. Don't make it weird.
Q: What kind of plugs do they have?
A: The two-pronged, type F socket. It also works with type C and type E. Standard voltage is 230 V, standard frequency is 50 Hz.
Q: Do Icelanders eat whale?
A: Not really, no. Icelanders don't depend on whale the way other civilizations have needed to. The whale sold to visitors is usually Minke whale imported from Norway, anyway.
A: Yes, there's a Game of Thrones Tour.
Q: Will I be there when a volcano erupts?
A: I don't know, probably not. Many of our volcanoes are active and restless, but they are being closely monitored by the powers that be and you should not find yourself in any danger. Don't be alarmed by news that says that "Iceland could be hours away from a major eruption, blah blah…" because…that's always true when you live in an active region! We have plans, just in case. Relax.
Q: Rent a car, or depend on tours?
A: That depends on how much autonomy you want over your trip, and how much work you want to do. There are so many tours available which could end up being budget-friendly if you're on a solo trip, but if you're in a group and the activity is safe to do on your own, it's probably more frugal to tackle it by yourselves.
Q: Snorkel Silfra or dive Silfra?
A: Unless you're already dry suit certified, snorkel it. The water is clear enough.
A: Yep! It's safe and relatively normal. Your biggest issue hitch hiking should (hopefully) be abrupt changes in weather. Otherwise, carpooling can be arranged with Samferda.
Q: Should I try to learn some Icelandic words?
A: Go ahead! "Thanks" is an easy one, it's "Takk" (sounds like tock.) If you want to wish somebody goodbye, just say "Bless!" It's exactly what it looks like.
Q: Should I stay in Reykjavik the whole time?
A: If you want to home-base from RVK, that's okay since the island is so small. However, do get out of town and see some of the nature. It's too stunning to miss it by staying in our little village the whole time!
Q: Is alcohol really that expensive?
A: With an average of $13 for a pint and $25 for a cocktail, yeah. Shop at Vínbúðin or pick some up at duty free in order to avoid downtown prices. Or, head to the Student Cellar on campus (Stúdentakjallarinn) for cheaper options!
Q: Is the Blue Lagoon worth it?
A: Eh, depends. If it's a bucket list item, go for it! It is very nice, but we have so many other hot pots and pools around for free and cheap. Check out this site for a comprehensive guide!
A: Yeah. Don't mess with them.

Becca can't seem to sit still, but this suits her. She is currently in graduate school in Iceland training in physics. Her work has taken her all over the world, and her adventures include analyzing radar data in Peru, observing a supernova from an observatory in Arizona, drilling ice cores on Icelandic glaciers, and serving as the resident astrophysicist for Badlands National Park. For her, traveling is a way to immerse herself in nature, take a break from the grad grind, and keep learning. Follow her adventures on Instagram and find more of her photos in Will Travel for Physics.
These are amazing tips! I spent 2 weeks in Iceland driving the Ring Road and Westfjords and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. It was in the summer so I didn't see the northern lights, but I'd like to back in the winter for it. It's really such a dreamy place and I can't wait to return.
Great guide to Iceland! Iceland is one of our favorite places and we just can't get enough of it. We loved road tripping through the West Fjords but wish we had more time to spend in the north and east portions of Iceland. We would love to get to the Central Highlands sometime too and it's good to know that Icelandic Mountain Guides is a good tour company to go with!
This is such a comprehensive guide, love it! I'll defs have to look into Lotus as I'm planning to visit next September. Didn't know what puffins are but bummer I won't e seeing them. This will for sure come in handy when planning my trip though so thank you!!!
This is such a useful guide for Iceland! Definitely one of the best I've seen. It's so cool that Becca is living and studying there! I appreciate all the insider information from the plug types to the language tips. Definitely saving this on Pinterest to reference later. Bless!
Iceland is such a wonderland of a place. It is the stuff that dreams are made of for us. This is a lovely guide that will stand in good stead for first timers to this beautiful land. The Northern Lights are one of the reasons that we want to get to Iceland and we hope to see them too.
What a great post! I so want to visit this beautiful country with my family, rent a car perhaps, do the (crowded) Golden Circle area but also some of the lesser travelled places. The FAQs are wonderful.
One more post on Iceland to convince me of its beauty. I have to really start thinking about this destination. How does October sound, weather wise for a trip here?
Hi, Punita! October/November in Iceland can be very unpredictable as this is when we get our howling autumn rain storms. However, we still have enough daylight to go out and see things, and it certainly can be sunny and calm. To be safe, make sure you bring waterproof linings, trousers, and boots and you'll be alright!

BNP Paribas Open Named 2017 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Tournament Of The Year

Players Honor Indian Wells for Fourth Consecutive Year
For the fourth consecutive year, the BNP Paribas Open – held annually at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden – has been voted the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year, as determined by player vote.
The BNP Paribas Open, the largest WTA and ATP World Tour combined two-week event in the world, has swept the top tournament honors on both the men's and women's Tours since 2014. The Masters 1000 designation is the highest category on the ATP World Tour, outside of the Tour Finals, and includes the tournaments in Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Cincinnati, Canada, Shanghai, and Paris.
"As both a player and now as Tournament Director, I can understand why this event has been named "Tournament of the Year" for the fourth straight year," Tommy Haas said. "I have an incredible amount of respect for the countless hours of planning and dedication that the entire staff contributes to make the BNP Paribas Open one of the best sporting events in the world, and this award re-affirms that our actions are being appreciated by the players. We remain focused on improving the event every year and hope to make the 2018 edition even more memorable for fans, players, media and sponsors."
Since current owner Larry Ellison purchased the event in 2009, on-going improvements to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden have made the tournament a favorite for fans and players alike. The BNP Paribas Open remains the only tournament in the world to have Hawk-Eye on all match courts for both main draw and qualifying matches.
Prior to the 2017 tournament, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden underwent extensive renovations designed to enhance the overall fan experience, including substantial upgrades to Stadium 1. Ranging from a massive expansion of the Stadium Plaza to renovating all the suites and hospitality spaces to adding 21 new restaurants and concessions, the full-scale changes will continue to delight fans attending the BNP Paribas Open for years to come.
Ahead of this year's BNP Paribas Open, a "Full Bloom" integrated marketing campaign will highlight the world-class tennis players that participate in the renowned global event woven into the natural beauty and backdrop of the desert landscape. In parallel, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden will undergo a series of enhancements to make it as lush, green and beautiful as fans expect it to be. The addition of even more palm trees, flowers, grass and plants will make the Tennis Garden truly feel like a garden in bloom.
The 2017 BNP Paribas Open, held this past March, had an estimated total gross economic impact on the Coachella Valley regional economy of more than $406M, according to an economic impact study – an increase of more than $32M since the last study was conducted in 2014.

Everyone knows that the three most important factors in real estate are location, location, and location, but many people may not consider that the same principle currently holds true in the development of space. The recent puff piece about astronauts losing a bolt during a spacewalk reminded me that every ounce of material lifted into low earth orbit is incredibly valuable.
Spacewalking astronauts worried they have may have gummed up a successful job connecting an addition to the international space station Tuesday when a bolt, spring and washer floated free.
Astronaut Joe Tanner was working with the bolt when it sprang loose, floated over the head of Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and skittered across the 17 1/2-ton box-like truss that they were hooking up.
A bolt, spring, and washer may only be worth a few dollars on earth, but those same pieces of equipment are worth thousands of dollars once they're in orbit. Considering that cargo lift costs for the Space Shuttle are currently around $10,000 per pound, most of the material in orbit is far more valuable because of its location than because of its design or composition.
As a side note, one of the most important fields of basic research is figuring out how to get stuff into orbit more cheaply. Until lift costs drop dramatically, don't expect to see hotels in space.
Oh no, they've lost another bolt!

Why Does It Seem Like the Entire Internet Is Team Johnny Depp?
Posted:&nbspApril 29, 2022
The defamation case by actor Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard is in session. This trial will likely take weeks to conclude and live streaming cameras show every moment to the world. This legal battle was a long time coming, it seems. Depp and Heard's relationship began over a decade ago and ended extremely badly. They separated in 2016, but in 2018, their toxic marriage returned to the limelight. Heard wrote a tell-all for The Washington Post in 2018 where she described surviving domestic abuse. She didn't mention Depp's name, but it seemed like she didn't have to.
In this ongoing case, Depp is suing for $50 million in damages. He denies ever becoming physically violent with Heard. Meanwhile, Heard is countersuing for $100 million and claims she had only been violent with Depp in self-defense or to defend her younger sister. This case is all over social media, analyzing the testimonies and clips from the courtroom. However, it seems that most people have sided with Johnny Depp with the hashtag "JusticeForJohnnyDepp" trending on Twitter and TikTok.
Depp and Heard's Relationship Timeline
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met in 2009 while filming "The Rum Diary" together. They began dating in 2012 according to court documents presented by Heard's legal team. Also in 2012, Depp and Vanessa Paradis ended their relationship of 14 years. They have two children together. In 2014, Heard appeared in public with an engagement ring on her finger. Depp later confirmed their engagement in interviews.
They married in a private ceremony in 2015. Soon after, they received backlash for smuggling their dogs, Boo and Pistol, into Australia. The pair released an apology video; Heard later got charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into Australia and one count of presenting a false document.
Then, in 2016, Heard filed for divorce and received a temporary restraining order against Depp. She claimed that Depp had thrown a phone at her, leaving bruises. In a sworn declaration, she said, "During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny Depp has been verbally and physically abusive to me. He has a short fuse. He is often paranoid and his temper is exceptionally scary for me." She added that she was living "in fear that Johnny will return to [our house] unannounced to terrorize me, physically and emotionally."
At the time, police did not press charges against Depp who denied attacking Heard. Additionally, a judge denied Heard's request for Depp to attend anger management classes for a year and rejected her request for a restraining order to prevent Depp from seeing their dogs.
In 2017, their divorce became finalized.

Amber Heard's Article on Washington Post
Then in 2018, Heard published the article that became central to the defamation lawsuit.
In it, she wrote, "I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out."
She described abuse from her childhood and adulthood. Depp's name never appeared. However, his legal team found strong similarities between the incidents in the article to her claims of abuse during their divorce.
The next year, Depp sued Heard for defamation, seeking $50 million in damages. He calls the Post article a ruse to build up positive press. He also said that she is not the victim rather the perpetrator of domestic violence.
In 2020, The Daily Mail published audio of Heard allegedly saying he hit Depp. Meanwhile, Depp claims that Heard had affairs with actor James Franco and entrepreneur Elon Musk. He also claimed that Heard was physically violent toward him, citing an incident where she put her own feces in their bed. His ex-partner, Paradis, speaks out in a statement saying Depp "is the farthest thing" from a violent individual. [1]
Later on, Johnny Depp sued the British newspaper "The Sun" for calling him a "wife-beater." But in November, the judge ruled in favor of The Sun. "Domestic abuse victims must never be silenced and we thank the judge for his careful consideration and thank Amber Heard for her courage in giving evidence to the court," the newspaper said in a statement.
That same month, Depp released a statement explaining that Warner Bros asked him to resign from his role As Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts series. He added that "I intend to prove that the allegations against me are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment in time."
In 2021, Heard countersues Depp for $100 million.
Johnny Depp's Defamation Case
And in April 2022, the defamation trial began. So far, the case included a reading of Heard's Post article; Heard's team presented Depp's drinking, drug use, and vulgar text messages where Depp talked to friends about killing and defiling his wife at the time. Meanwhile, Depp's team argues that the alleged incidents of abuse are false and his behavior while intoxicated are exaggerated.
They presented a 2015 argument where the tip of Depp's finger got cut off. Jurors listened to audio clips of Depp berating his wife and a clip where Heard seems to taunt him, saying he won't be believed if he tried to tell the public she was an abuser. "Tell them, I, Johnny Depp, I'm a victim of domestic abuse … and see how many people believe or side with you," Heard says on the recording. [2]
The case becomes more complex as it goes on, with new evidence and testimonies being streamed to the public. Social media users recount more shocking or entertaining moments from the trial, while others suggest unproven theories. Many seem to sympathize with Johnny Dep as he quietly and calmly talks about his drug use and personal issues. For others, this case is much-needed representation of a male victim of domestic abuse. Meanwhile, others suggest Depp is benefiting from misogyny, asking what happened to "believe all women"? [3]
However, no matter who's side the internet is on, the case is not over. There are more testimonies and evidence to be shown. And although it seemed like most of the public has sided with Depp, the real verdict has yet to be announced.

Ramadan 2014: Toronto-born Give 30 fundraiser expands quest to aid nation's hunger
Grassroots initiative that began with money from Ramadan savings kicks off Saturday, expanding to 11 food banks in six provinces
By Laura ArmstrongStaff Reporter
Thu., June 26, 2014timer3 min. read
Last summer, 8-year-old Simon Lee tried to donate $5 to Give 30, an annual fundraiser held during Ramadan to help fight hunger, but the Scarborough boy's contribution wouldn't go through because it was below the minimum donation accepted.
"When his money was rejected he said, 'What if everyone in the world wanted to give $5?'" said Ziyaad Mia, Give 30's founder. "That's exactly the point of Give 30. I want the Simons of the world to give whatever they can give."
This year, the Simons of the world and people of all faiths across Canada will have the opportunity to donate to 11 food banks in six provinces through the fundraiser.
The campaign kicks off Saturday to coincide with the month-long Ramadan observation; donations can be made to the participating food bank of your choice through Give 30's website until Sept. 5.
The grassroots initiative, which Mia started in 2012, has already raised about $120,000.
Mia, a practising Muslim, joked to a colleague nearly a decade ago that fasting during Ramadan was great because he saved money. The joke spurred a Eureka moment for the Toronto-based lawyer, who realized he could use the money he was saving by not buying a daily coffee or going out for lunch to help local food banks.
While Ramadan is about spirituality and getting close to God, the whole point of fasting is to understand the importance of food, Mia said. He launched Give 30 two years ago with the help of a free website-building tool and social media.
The campaign raised about $30,000 for its lone participant, the Daily Bread Food Bank, in 2012 and about $90,000 across three cities last year.
Daily Bread, North York Harvest Food Bank, Mississauga Food Bank and other organizations in Kingston, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Regina and across Quebec will all benefit from this summer's campaign.
The influx of cash generated by Give 30 comes at a crucial time for food banks, said Pamela Sleightholm, marketing and development co-ordinator at the Mississauga Food Bank.
"By the time we reach the summer we've gone through the food that we collected at Thanksgiving and Christmas; things are just getting really, really scarce in the warehouse."
Donations come from everywhere, said Roxann Vaos, a resource development employee with the Edmonton Food Bank, which received about $19,000 through last year's campaign.
Vaos said she had goose bumps when she received a $144 donation from a group of Muslim women serving time at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener last year.
"It wasn't a huge amount of money, but the thing is it's the only money they have. They usually use it to buy stuff from the canteen," Vaos said.
Edmonton's current campaign kicked off on a high note when Norm Assif, a local lawyer, donated $10,000. Vaos said the organization hopes to make founder Mia proud by bringing in more money this year than last.
The main goal, though, is getting food to hungry people, Mia said.
"Hunger should not be a problem in this country. It's absurd that we have hungry people in a country this wealthy."
As for Simon, last year's young contributor from Scarborough, Mia hosted the boy at the Daily Bread, where he toured the food bank with his mom, Catharine Heddle, and brother Colin, then 10. Lee hand-delivered his $5 donation, and is now a Give 30 ambassador.
Heddle said touring the food bank was an enlightening experience.
"It was the realization that there are people in the world who are hungry, and who don't have these things that we have in our pantry all the time, cans of fruit and tuna and so on," she said. "It's eye-opening that right here in our very own city there are people who are hungry."


USDCHF formed a a cycle top at 1.0507 level on daily chart and the subsequent pullback is treated as consolidation of uptrend from 0.9917. Rang trading between 1.0100 and 1.0507 is expected in a couple of weeks. Another rise towards 1.0700 is still possible after consolidation. Key resistance is now located at 1.0507, a break above this level will indicate that a cycle bottom has been formed on daily chart and uptrend from 0.9917 has resumed.
For long term analysis, USDCHF has formed a cycle bottom at 0.9917 level on weekly chart. Bounce towards 1.0700 to reach next cycle top is expected.


IT WAS dawn on March 5, two months before VE-Day, that six RAF Spitfires of 111 Squadron took off from Rimini airfield on a bombing mission.
Their target: two dozen barges moored on a canal close to the village of Cavarzere on the outskirts of Venice.
Amid intense but inaccurate anti-aircraft fire, they dropped their payload of a dozen 250lb bombs south of the canal.
One of the Spitfires was caught by flak, hit the ground and exploded. Its pilot, Warrant Officer John Henry Coates, from York, was reported missing in action. He was 24.
His name is engraved on the Malta War Memorial, a 49ft column commemorating the 2,298 Commonwealth aircrew who lost their lives around the Mediterranean and who have no known grave.
But after 70 years, he could finally have the burial denied him.
The wreckage of an RAF Spitfire shot down in 1945 has been recovered in Italy, with remains of the pilot, W/O John Henry Coates, from York.
His remains, alongside those of his Spitfire, have been unearthed from the crash site by aircraft enthusiasts, and an appeal launched to trace his family in Yorkshire.
"There are no words that can express that excitement of being able to give a proper burial to a soldier so that he can finally rest in peace," said Alessandro Voltolina, a researcher in Italy.
The wreckage of the Spitfire Mk IX was uncovered after a two-year investigation along the Adige river near Cavarzere.
Archeologists belonging to Romagna Air Finders and Air Crash Po, in the Po Valley of northern Italy, dug out parts of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine, wings, fuselage, cockpit, and a cache of ammunition.
Alongside the landing gear, they found the remains of W/O Coates.
The researchers had been drawn to the area by local rumour and distant recollection, and had narrowed down the search with the help of charts and flight records from the time.
Signor Voltolina, for whom this was the last of 12 recoveries, said: "Despite my experience, the thrill and emotion I feel whenever I smell the mix of propellant, glycol and motor oil is amazing.
The researchers have offered to donate parts of the aircraft to the family as a gift.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists John Henry Coates, service number 1147865, as a Warrant Officer with the RAF Volunteer Reserve.
His parents were Eliza and John Coates, whom, the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, York, believes, may have had six other children and connections with the Rowntree chocolate factory in the city. John Coates is thought to have been a confectionary maker who died in 1954.
George Coates, a brother of the pilot, is believed to have two grandsons - Matthew James Coates, born in 1974, and Robert John Coates, born in 1972, both in Howden.
The Spitfires of 111 Squadron had been deployed to the Mediterranean initially to support the invasions of North Africa and then Sicily.
Towards the end of the war, the "Treble One" moved through Italy with the advancing Allied ground troops. W/O Coates was its third last casualty.
By 1945 it was based at Ravenna, south of Venice, and, with few enemy aircraft left in Italy, had been converted to a fighter-bomber role.

SPCA rescue emaciated mastiff left in ice and snow on B.C. property
Handsome, a 7-year-old mastiff, was found outside, tethered on a heavy chain in the ice and snow
BC SPCA say a seven-year-old mastiff is lucky to be alive after being found emaciated and left out in the cold on a Hope property.
In a release Friday, the SPCA said they attended the Fraser Valley property on Dec. 20, along with RCMP when they discovered the mastiff, named Handsome, tethered on a heavy chain surrounded by ice and snow.
A bucket of water, frozen from ice, was nearby, the SPCA said, as well as a wooden doghouse without insulation or bedding.
"This poor boy was visibly shaking – he's so thin, his bones are clearly visible, with very little to no body fat the dog is unable to maintain its body heat," says BC SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever.
Handsome was rushed to the vet, where he received care that's expected to exceed $4,000.
The vet found Handsome emaciated with a body condition score of one out of nine, an important measurement of a dog's weight, disease and nutrition.
Drever said it is impossible to comprehend how anyone could allow a dog to be chained up, in such frigid winter weather conditions.
"We rescue thousands of animals from heartbreaking situations every year at the SPCA, but cases like this are particularly shocking," she said.
As temperatures dip to zero and below across the province, the SPCA cautions pet owners to keep their animals safe by bringing them indoors.
If left outdoors, owners should ensure pets have a place to shelter from the cold with warm, dry bedding as well as food and water that isn't frozen over.
The SPCA is investigating and will likely be recommending charges of animal cruelty against Handsome's former owner.
UPDATE: Missing 29-year-old Duncan woman found safe and sound
White Christmas likely for Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland
Thousands of National Guard troops have been deployed ahead of the event

Cloudfm brings cutting-edge FM industry debate to Europe
Keynote speakers. L-R: Ignasi Casamada, Co-founder, Optima facility, Chris Drew, CFO, KFC, Jeff Dewing, CEO, Cloudfm and Alex Casamada, Vice President, Optima Facility
Industry innovator Cloudfm has cemented its move into the Spanish market with a thought-leadership event at its Barcelona office.
Following strong growth in the UK market since its inception in 2011, Cloudfm launched its groundbreaking FM model to the Spanish market in 2018, in a joint venture with Optima Facility, marking the next stage in the company's push into Europe.
The firm's cutting-edge technology platform, commitment to transparency, and true partnership approach represents a step-change in service provision, and is considered the most advanced FM solution available worldwide – plus it has been proven to control costs while improving quality, as evidenced by Cloudfm's work with global brands including TUI, Wolseley and KFC.
The thought-leadership event – designed to stimulate debate around the optimal management of outsourced maintenance services, and share valuable insight into how the current norms of the industry might be disrupted to reap rewards for all parties involved – featured a keynote presentation from Chris Drew, Chief Financial Officer at KFC UK & Ireland.
Outlining the ways in which the Cloudfm service has enabled KFC to transform its FM from a troublemaking cost to an investment which supports the company's business objectives, Mr Drew explained to the group of client- and provider-side industry specialists how Cloudfm's robust methodologies and real-time visibility have unlocked extra value and positively contribute to KFC's bottom line.
"With the right data, presented in the right way – at Board level – FM can be transformed from a headache-inducing necessary evil to a useful way of driving efficiencies in expenditure, including capex investment," Mr Drew commented. "Controlled process, dependable data, and a commitment to doing the right thing for mutual benefit, can revolutionize the value that can be extracted from an FM budget."
"We're proud to be leading the dialogue around the transformation of the FM industry in Europe," added Jeff Dewing, CEO of Cloudfm. "We've proven the success of our market-leading approach in the UK, and are delighted with the international momentum that our radically different partnership formula has gained – this event has been a really promising start to the positive evolution of FM provision across Spain and the rest of Europe."

NEW YORK, Sept 9: Novak Djokovic heads into his U.S. Open final clash with Juan Martin del Potro on Sunday knowing he faces a challenge - a very big challenge indeed.
"He's a big-time player. He's a big-match player. He's a Grand Slam winner. He's playing tennis of his life, without a doubt, in the last 15 months," Djokovic said on Friday of his "dear friend" Del Potro.
"He's playing some really powerful tennis." Clearly Djokovic will have to neutralize the 6'6" Argentine's blistering serve at the Arthur Ashe Stadium: Del Potro fired 68 aces during the tournament, winning 82 percent of his first serve points.
He came crashing into this year's tournament, winning his first 12 sets in a row and toppling his first two opponents in less than two hours each. There are other important statistics to consider, however, which clearly suggest that brain will play as significant a part as brawn on Sunday.
Djokovic has 13 Grand Slam titles; Del Potro has just one, a U.S. Open championship he wrested from then-defending champion Roger Federer in 2009. The Serbian sixth seed is making his eighth U.S. Open final appearance, tying an professional era record, while Del Potro, seeded third, is playing in a Grand Slam final for just the second time. Djokovic also leads Del Potro 14-4 in their head-to-head encounters.
He struggled through broiling temperatures, surviving a first-round scare during which officials brought a trash can to a sweat-drenched Djokovic fearing he might vomit from heat-related illness. But he bounced back to enter Sunday's match with a 13-set winning streak, leaving in his wake a series of stunned opponents.
One of those was Australia's John Millman, who caused a major shock by defeating Federer in the fourth round. "Novak sometimes flies under the radar a little bit. But the guy's won a lot of Grand Slams, and he knows how to win them," Millman said after losing to Djokovic in the quarter-finals.

This was the week of sitting tight while the broad market went through a hiccup. As long as the fundamental story of the stocks I'm in is still intact, I don't pay much heed to the technical weaknesses because ALL stocks go through this phase ALL the time.
One important factor causing technical weakness is when impatient investors/traders left to hunt other stocks. There is absolutely nothing wrong with investors/traders being impatient since everyone has their own set of value they assigned to the stocks they bought in. And this value can shift easily when other stocks become more valuable in the eyes of the investors/traders. I do this all the time myself. My recent liquidation of $MCIG, $SEED and $HTGM positions are perfect example. I sold $MCIG, $SEED, and $HTGM because I wanted to shift my allocation to other stocks which I believe have better chance of bouncing even though my fundamental analysis of both $MCIG, $SEED, and $HTGM are still positive. By selling, I'm taking the risk of missing the rally when their catalysts appear out of nowhere. $MCIG bounced nicely this week without me on board due to news that they nailed a $5 million deal with a California cultivator. That is how the market works. We are constantly faced with choices and there is no right or wrong answer to the choices we made but only risk adjustment. We are always risking giving up something that will bounce while going after another that may or may not bounce.
Therefore, when I see price weaknesses in the stocks that I still own with no change in the fundamental story, I pay no heed to the technical weaknesses.
$AEMD, $IBIO, and $SIGO were down even though the catalysts ahead are extremely powerful from my perspective. Their only drawback is the waiting. Some will see this as dead money and decide to hunt somewhere. And in a low liquidity stock, this would cause technical weaknesses that have nothing to do with the fundamental. Therefore, to be affected by technical weaknesses in these stocks will be like allowing these impatient investors/traders to dictate your conviction of these stocks. Ha! No way. I trust my own analysis and I know that once these catalysts come into the surface, $AEMD, $IBIO, and $SIGO will explode so fast that those who sold earlier would be in shock.
The problem with low liquidity stock is that once you're out, you may have a hard time buying it back without chasing it back up. This usually mean there is a good odd you have to pay a premium to buy the stock back IF you remember to do so before the catalyst hit. Of course, this doesn't apply if you are trading small lot but if you owned large block, forget it. There is still the caveat though, while I'm waiting for the catalysts to show, I'm still at risk to any fundamental change to the companies I'm invested in. I'm fine with that 'cause that is what I'm basing my risk on, not some impatient investors/traders selling their shares to hunt somewhere else.
$LRAD continues to find strong support over $2 despite some selling for the last two weeks. As mentioned above, I pay no heed to these technical weaknesses. In fact, I see their superior Long Range Acoustic Device technologies (both directional and mass notification) are much needed in the future when our world continues to be affected by global warming. I know some of you out there don't believe in it but, to me, it's as real as the air I breath in. I'm investing in what I believe in (right or wrong); it's that simple.
I'm so glad to be able to buy back $PI at the lower price last week after the crash from earnings update. Price bounced nicely this week and because I learned my lesson from the last time I held $PI, I'm going to let this one ride it out instead of trying to pick top to sell for short-term gain.
$TRXC earnings update last week is quite revealing and I already wrote my special thought on it yesterday. You can read it by clicking –> here.
Due to technical weaknesses in $IBIO, $AEMD, $SIGO, $LRAD, my port suffered a minor drawdown for the week.
Have ibio for years, way down now but I think it may go way up at some point. Bought aemd too high, going to average down so buying more this week. When the fda meeting is announced it may really skyrocket.
We will never be able to buy at the bottom of any stock all the time; maybe some of the time. In the end, it is the end result that counted. Good Luck!

English, lover of vocal harmony with a tendency to over-complicate things.
The goal of FAWM for me personally is to get over my overthinking in songwriting. Stop aiming for perfection and just enjoy the pleasure of having an idea, getting it down and getting it out there.
The focus is on improving habits and attitudes, rather than any musical skills, that will inform my songwriting process in the future.

NAPA, CA--(Marketwired - September 21, 2016) - A study issued today of 1,180 claims against internal medicine physicians insured by The Doctors Company, the nation's largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, shows that the most common claims are diagnosis related, that internists are more likely to be sued for high-severity injuries than doctors in other specialties, and that both hospitals and physician practices are at risk. The research is based on claims that closed from 2007 to 2014, regardless of the outcome.
The analysis found that 39 percent of all claims alleged failed, delayed, or wrong diagnosis, with 56 percent of these claims alleging inadequate patient assessments such as failure or delay in ordering diagnostic tests. The study further shows that 58 percent of claims against internal medicine specialists were for high-severity injuries, compared to 34 percent of claims against all physicians, and that over a third of all injuries took place in hospitals.
"We hope this information will assist both internal medicine physicians and hospital risk managers in understanding common allegations and the factors behind these claims," said study co-author David B. Troxel, MD, medical director, The Doctors Company. "With the data on patient allegations and the actual factors that led to injuries included in this study, physicians and risk managers can identify system weaknesses and reduce risk of harm to patients."
In preparing the study, The Doctors Company partnered with practicing physicians, who reviewed the cases to determine the top factors that contributed to patient injury. The top three factors were patient assessment issues (33 percent), patient factors such as noncompliance with the treatment plan (25 percent), and communication breakdown between patient or family and the provider (21 percent). In the analysis, more than one factor often contributed to the injury. Also included in the study are examples of actual malpractice cases and suggested risk mitigation strategies.
"This study reinforces that physicians fail to diagnose and treat accurately for a variety of reasons," said Howard R. Marcus, MD, internal medicine physician with Austin (TX) Regional Clinic. "The average primary care physician will diagnose about 400 different diseases a year and occasionally encounters a rare medical condition that he or she may have never seen before. It is in this context that failure to diagnose may be caused by an error or lapse in reasoning rather than a failure of knowledge or clinical skill. The case studies in this study will be used in our medical group's continuing medical education to demonstrate to our more than 250 primary care physicians how to avoid pitfalls in medical decision making."
The study is available at www.thedoctors.com/internalmedicinestudy and will be distributed at the ASHRM 2016 Annual Conference that takes place September 25 to 28, 2016, in Orlando, Florida.
Founded and led by physicians, The Doctors Company (www.thedoctors.com) is relentlessly committed to advancing, protecting, and rewarding the practice of good medicine. The Doctors Company is the nation's largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, with 78,000 members and $4.3 billion in assets, and is rated A by A.M. Best Company and Fitch Ratings.
