NORWICH 0 -- MK DONS 4: LEAGUE One pace-setters MK Dons inflicted a Carling Cup humiliation on Premier League new boys Norwich by romping to victory at Carrow Road.
It was the worst possible preparation for Norwich's weekend trip to Chelsea, with former Canary Luke Chadwick helping himself to two goals.
Sam Baldock, the highly-rated forward, was also on the score-sheet and the Dons know they are likely to have to fend off bids for him before the end of the month.
Karl Robinson's men were as impressive as Norwich were woeful and if this 90 minutes is replicated in their respective leagues over the coming months, the two clubs will be playing each other in the Championship next season.
Norwich manager Paul Lambert made 11 changes to the side that came within seconds of beating Stoke on Sunday before settling in the end for a 1-1 draw.
But Russell Martin, David Fox, Zak Whitbread, Andrew Surman and Wes Hoolahan - had played in the opening day draw at Wigan so it wasn't exactly a reserve side.
The Dons arrived in East Anglia in good form and West Ham target Baldock showed why he is such a hot property with a fierce drive after Daniel Ayala carelessly gifted him possession, which stand-in goalkeeper Declan Rudd saved.
Ayala was at fault again with a misplaced pass which allowed Stephen Gleeson to set Chadwick up for a 21st-minute opener, calmly slotted past Rudd.
Dons goalkeeper David Martin pulled off a save to deny Simeon Jackson before Gleeson robbed Adam Drury and set up Baldock to score with a low drive.
The home fans were frustrated, not least when a shot from Surman clearly deflected off a defender before going behind, but referee Mark Haywood awarded a goal-kick and there were boos for the official at half-time.
Lambert resisted making more changes at the interval but must have wished he had as Norwich continued to toil.
Martin pulled off another good save to tip over a fierce 25-yard drive from Surman but the Dons looked composed and dangerous and proved the point on the hour.
Norwich were chasing shadows in their own half as pass after pass was made by quick-moving men in white shirts and Chadwick produced another measured finish to beat Rudd after Dean Bowditch had set him up.
The fourth was nothing but a personal nightmare for Surman, whose woeful back-pass was seized upon by Bowditch's replacement Daniel Powell and fired past Rudd with 23 minutes left. Aaron Wilbraham, who Norwich signed from the Dons last season when he was on the brink of becoming their all-time top scorer, went close with a drive that flew just wide.
But the front man has found success hard to come by since moving to Norfolk and looks destined to remain an under-used fringe man at Carrow Road.
NORWICH: Rudd; Martin, Whitbread (Lappin 71), Ayala, Drury; Fox, Smith, Surman, Hoolahan (Morison 63), Jackson; Wilbraham.
MK DONS: Martin; Smith, Lewington, MacKenzie, Gleeson; Chadwick, Potter, Williams, Bowditch (Powell 63), Baldock; Ibehre (Balanta 46). Booked: Williams. Goals: Chadwick 21, 60 Baldock 28 Powell 67.


German Law puts an obligation on all citizens to register their residency immediately after taking up a leased property. Moreover, all foregin citizens (non-EU members) are required to obtain a Residency Permit regardless if they wish to work or not.
Residency Registration and Residency Permit are two separate matters, that are commonly mistaken.
Residency Registration (German: Anmeldung) is simply informing the authorities about the address change, that needs to be done immediately after moving in. Germans, EU-citzens and foreign citizens are required to visit a local municipality office and by presenting a passport or ID together with a landlord confirmation register their new residency address.
Residency Permit (German: Aufenthaltstitel) on the other hand is meant only for foreign citizens. Depending on the country of origin, the residency permit must be obtained before the actual arrival to Germany (entry visa) or within 90 days upon moving to Germany. The full list of countries which citizens are required to obtain an entry visa can be found at the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Regardless of the fact if a foreign citizen wishes to live in Germany as a long-term tourist, take up a job or simply move with a spouse who had obtained a work permit before, the residency permit needs to be applied for at a local Immigration Office (German: Ausländerbehörde) well in advance. Depending on a personal situation, the residency permit can contain a work permit, a family visa, a job search visa or other kind to name a few.
An exact procedure and list of documents required to apply for a permit can vary and depends on the specific situation of an applicant. Commonly all the communication with an Immigration Office as well as an interview are performed in the German language, though some forms can be bi- or even tri-lingual. Also, the documents are often required to be certified translated into German, although more and more Immigration Offices accept English versions as well.

The Mazzanti Evantra Pura is a lightweight model that weighs 2,843 lbs and produces 761BHP
In Super Cars
We haven't heard from Mazzanti in a while, but the Italian performance brand has quietly maintained development of its Evantra supercar, which now comes in three different configurations.
The Evantra Pura, which Mazzanti debuted on Saturday during the 2021 Florence Biennale art event in Florence, Italy, is the most recent addition to the roster.
The automobile, which acts as the Evantra's entrance point, emphasises lightness and sheer driving enjoyment.
The range-topping Evantra Millecavalli R, with its unique 7.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 producing 1,121 horsepower, is still available for consumers seeking extreme performance.
If you want luxury in your supercar, the luxurious Evantra 781 has plenty of power due to a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 producing 781 horsepower.
Both models are descendants of the Evantra Millecavalli and Evantra 771 models.
The new Pura has the same engine as the 781, but with a reduced output of 761 horsepower.
The peak torque is 671 lb-ft.
When these numbers are paired with the fact that the curb weight is only 2,843 pounds, the result is a spectacular performance.
Mazzanti claims a 2.9-second 0-60 mph pace and a peak speed of more than 223 mph.
A 7-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifters drives only the back wheels.
The Pura, like other Evantras, has a mid-engine layout and a core structure built of a high-tensile steel boxed-section frame.
Some important components, such as the roll cage and rear sub-frame, are made of molybdenum chrome.
Front and rear MacPherson strut suspension is standard, and a fully adjustable suspension arrangement is available as an option.
The car is equipped with OZ Racing wheels with Michelin tyres measuring 255/35R19 in the front and 315/30R20 in the back.
A carbon-ceramic Brembo braking setup with 6-piston callipers and 14.9-inch rotors up front and 4-piston callipers and 14-inch rotors at the back is also installed on the car.
The inside design of Mazzanti's latest Evantra models has also been updated.
There's now a digital instrument cluster that looks like it belongs in a racing car, and the infotainment system depends on a huge touchscreen display that's mounted in portrait mode.
A steering wheel with its own central screen that displays critical information such as the current gear and appropriate shift times is available as an option.
Almost every other aspect of the inside may be customised, with Mazzanti providing leather and Alcantara trim in a variety of colours.
Mazzanti typically produces about five automobiles each year, therefore availability is restricted.
Mazzanti's headquarters are on the outskirts of the famed Tuscan city of Pisa, where production takes place.

Q: Why is DataGridViewRowCollection.DataGridView property protected? The choice of protection level for DataGridView property of DataGridViewRowCollection is something I cannot comprehend. It is set to protected so one cannot acces it from outside which would be a natural thing to do. I can't imagine anyone giving reasonable explanation for this, but maybe... anyone?

A: I believe stuartd is right about that it is to encourage extending DataGridViewRowCollection by inheritance, not by extension methods. I found it strange since I thought there is no way of replacing DataGridView's Rows property with your own implementation. It turns out there is a way to accomplish that and it is called protected void CreateRowsInstance() – a method of DataGridView, so it seems at least a little reasonable to put the DataGridView property in the protected scope.

As an integral part of any business, human resources needs to function efficiently in order for its potential to be maximised. It's a cliché but it is true: Your people really are your greatest asset and looking after them really will pay dividends for your business. In today's business climate you cannot afford to be short-sighted, so setting in stone some useful HR habits and procedures now can really improve your chances of long term prosperity.
The recruitment industry is on the ascendency. Employing 92,446 staff in the UK, agencies are seemingly unstoppable. Recruitment agencies may specialise in certain areas or certain roles, but don't forget that their fee doesn't come cheap. Remember that the primary aim of a recruitment agent is to win their commission, not necessarily find you the best candidate for the job!
So, where else can you turn? Many companies are making efficiencies by cutting out agencies altogether. Manually advertising your vacant role on jobsites such as Monster and Reed, for example, isn't too time consuming and ensures that you have full control over the selection of candidates. Another potential avenue to explore is social media. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn allow you to post jobs quickly and easily, reaching large audiences that you may already have.
If you find your HR department spending an unwieldy amount of time dealing with disciplinary issues or absentee management, you may have a problem. Whilst, of course, it is a HR duty to discipline staff, improving morale at your company may cut out these types of incident far more effectively saving you time and money.
Improving staff morale can take time but social events, choosing an employee of the month or other rewards or even days out of the office can all contribute.
Payroll can be complicated. Constantly evolving legislation and regulations make training and re-training an ongoing expense. A recent example of this is the incoming Pension Auto Enrolment scheme.
Payroll mistakes can be costly. Not only do you risk financial loss, but as was seen in a recent episode of Dispatches, companies are at risk of succumbing to a public relations disaster.
Both protecting yourself and saving money is achievable by outsourcing your payroll to CPS. Please complete our enquiry form and one of our payroll specialists will be in touch.

Celebration - It Needs a Party!
Cake and Fanta for all. Hey, I am shouting the good news! URUKUNDO HOME FOR CHILDREN IS FIVE YEARS OLD!
Five years ago on May 1, 2006 Urukundo opened it doors and its heart to children needing love and protection, food, education and a better chance for a brighter future.
This year is our fifth year serving the children of Rwanda. Urukundo is alive and doing well. With God in charge and with God's speed we have moved forward faster than I ever envisioned. We have reached so many of our goals and the big one was education for orphans and the very poor. The school for small children at Urukundo started with the solid approval of the District and the Ministry of Education on May 10th 2011.
Cyakabiri School is truly Hope Made Real.
There are so many reasons to celebrate this fifth year. The water project for safe, clean water for the community is well underway, expecting to be completed in mid-July.
The line of succession has been established. Urukundo is built on a firm foundation will continue long after the founder has moved on to rest. All in this first month of the next five years.
Now we need financial help from our friends to be able to pay salaries for the teachers and put electricity into the water project. Any ideas of how to make others aware of this need would be appreciated. I had hoped the educators in our newsletter list would come to the rescue but that has not happened yet. We need funds.
I don't know how I became a farmer! Now I have cows, sheep, chickens, rabbits, goats and dogs. Muhanga District has given us a cow and in June we will receive 3 more. That is real recognition for Urukundo Foundation and our Ministry from the Rwandan government. It's also a blessing for our kids - milk is so important. We will need to build a barn (lean-to shed) to protect them.

31 Horror Movies in 31 Days- Day 9: The Orphanage
Day 9: The Orphanage
Premise: Intending to set up a school for different-abled children, a young woman returns to her old orphanage with her husband and their adopted son. However, things take a turn for the weird when their son starts claiming to see ghostly children, including a boy with a sack mask over his head.
Weird shit is afoot and, when things take a turn for the tragic, the woman is forced to question whether the ghosts are the real danger here.
This may seem like an odd non-sequitur to start this off with, seeing as he wasn't responsible for directing this movie,but I really love Guillermo Del Toro movies. I love the way he throws himself into every movie with such visible passion and treats all the genres he covers with such respect, be it wartime drama or giant robots smashing shit up.
But when it comes to my favourite GDT movie, funnily enough, it's not Pan's Labyrinth or Hellboy or Pacific Rim or any of the more common answers. It's the Devil's Backbone, a Spanish-language horror movie that, like this film, is a ghost story set in an orphanage. And in a lot of ways, this movie really does feel like a spiritual successor to that film, both in tone, setting, atmosphere and some of the ultimate themes and twists.
And, quite frankly, I loved the hell out it.
Seriously, this movie captured so many of the things that I loved about The Devil's Backbone and matched it beat for beat in quality, while still adding its own twists and quirks to set it apart. It creates such a haunting atmosphere, not through jumpscares or loud creepy music, but through a slow build of emotional tension to craft visibly affecting scenes. There was one scene in particular, involving a psychic medium, that just gripped me by my teeth and refused to let go.
A large part of the credit does need to go to the film's main actress though, Belen Rueda, who carries a large amount of the movie's emotion on her shoulders and does it magnificently. She really does work as a mother driven half-to-derangement in fear for her child and it never feels too over-the-top or unrealistic. Most of the side cast does a great job too, even if the child actor is a little irritating at times.
But the vast majority of what makes this movie work is the direction. J.A Bayona is increasingly becoming one of those directors who I really need to keep an eye on, especially after his excellent job with a Monster Calls (which beat Train to Busan as my second favourite movie of 2016) and The Impossible. A small part of me wonders what kind of job he could have done with Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom, had he not been tied down by Colin Trevorrow's fairly lousy script. Because here he's absolutely on point, with an almost masterful control of atmosphere and tension, all leading up to a dramatic emotional climax and a magnificently bittersweet ending.
Admittedly, it's not all 100% perfect. There are a few scenes that came off a little silly when I think they were meant to be frightening and one scene in particular involving a bus crash had me howling in laughter (although that laughter died pretty quickly after, following a particular scare). And I would say that ultimately I prefer The Devil's Backbone just a bit more. But the fact that it came this close is certainly meaningful indeed.
Was it Scary?: At points, yes, but it's more focused around the atmosphere than active jump scares.
Was it Silly?: A few moments here and there, yes.
Overall Grade: A+/A

Elon Musk sells at least $3.95 billion worth of Tesla shares after Twitter deal
Published Tue, Nov 8 20228:28 PM EST Updated Wed, Nov 9 20226:03 PM EST
Lora Kolodny@lorakolodny
Tesla CEO Elon Musk sold additional shares of his electric car company after closing a $44 billion purchase of Twitter.
Musk closed the deal on Oct. 28, with equity and debt financing from a wide range of friends and institutions.
Before he sold shares today, Elon Musk owned about 25% of Tesla between stock and options.

Elon Musk has sold at least another $3.95 billion worth of shares in his electric car company Tesla
after closing his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.
According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission published Tuesday, Musk sold 19.5 million more shares of Tesla.
Musk sold almost $22 billion worth of Tesla shares in 2021, a year when the stock jumped over 50%. This year, he sold over $8 billion worth of stock in April and roughly $7 billion worth in August.
In addition to pouring billions of his own capital into taking Twitter private, the Tesla CEO relied on partners, including equity investors Binance, Ron Baron's BAMCO, Andreessen Horowitz, Twitter's former CEO Jack Dorsey and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, to finance the deal, or to roll their existing shares into his holding company for Twitter.
Musk sells $19.5 million more Tesla shares
As NBC News previously reported, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) has called for an investigation into the national security implications of Saudi Arabia's stake in Twitter following Musk's take-private deal.
On Aug. 9, Musk told fans he was done selling Tesla shares to fund a possible Twitter acquisition. He wrote, in a tweet, "In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close *and* some equity partners don't come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock."
At the time, Musk was still battling the social media company in court to try to get out of the deal — which he proposed and agreed to in April.
Since closing the purchase, Musk has pulled dozens of Tesla engineers to Twitter to assist him with code review and other work.
Compared to the Nasdaq Composite which has declined about 33% year to date, Tesla shares are off 46%, wiping out a big chunk of Musk's fortune. However, he's still the world's richest person with a net worth of close to $200 billion, according to Forbes.
At a conference last week, Musk told hedge fund manager Ron Baron that his "workload went up from about, I don't know, 78 hours a week to probably 120."
Musk, who's also CEO of SpaceX, said on stage that "once Twitter is set on the right path, I think it is a much easier thing to manage" than his other companies. Musk hasn't said who will be the new CEO of Twitter, but he's suggested that his role as "Chief Twit" and sole director at the company is only temporary.

Will Making Carbon Regs Regional Help Them Pass?
President Obama faces an uphill battle from many states on cap and trade systems. So why not let them keep the money?
Michael Kanellos May 08, 2009
Michael Kanellos
To get carbon legislation passed this year, the administration may want to think of the country as pieces of a whole.
A cap-and-trade system that lets the various regions in the U.S. keep the money that their businesses pay for carbon allowances could make a carbon system politically palatable, said KC Mares, president of Megawatt Consulting. Mares is an expert on energy efficiency and has been meeting with regulators and politicians in Washington and California for the last several weeks. Even politicians that are skeptical of carbon regulations are becoming open to the regional idea, he noted.
"Regional allowances might be politically doable," he said.
The administration and several politicians want the U.S. to make a carbon plan law before world leaders meet in Copenhagen at the end of the year to hammer out a succeeding agreement to the Kyoto Protocol. Leaders from industrial states along with many large corporations, though, are expected to push back against regulations. Australia, which gets 80 percent of its power from coal, recently postponed its carbon plans from 2010 to mid-2011.
The appeal of a regional scheme in part boils down to the fact that it would better tie the economic pain of a tax or cap-and-trade system to the benefits. As in Europe, companies in the U.S. will likely react to carbon regulations by devising energy efficiency strategies and investing in things like solar hot water systems, biomass boilers, and waste heat recovery systems. Because construction largely remains a local business, locals would get the contracts. In other words, Michigan wouldn't subsidize opportunities for California.
"A lot of the coal states do not have a lot of solar or wind resources," he said. "Energy efficiency is the only way they can get an economic benefit."
Carbon regulations in the U.S., in fact, are already regional: look at the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) on the eastern seaboard. RGGI Inc. has been auctioning carbon credits since last September. World Energy, which auctions carbon credits through a website and also works with RGGI Inc., says that the place where a carbon credit is generated (i.e., a factory in Ohio auctions off credits it obtained for switching paints or installing a next generation smokestack scrubber) is a key attribute buyers examine when buying credits. Interestingly, Lisa Jackson, who heads up the EPA, was a key player in implementing RGGI.
Like the Rocky Mountain Institute's Amory Lovins and Secretary of Energy Steve Chu, Mares is a strong advocate for energy efficiency.
"It is green for the wallet," he said. "If you save electricity, it has a payback. It is not about wearing a sweater in the White House. It is about 'I might have to spend a little more now but I will save in the long term.' "
"For the first time, energy efficiency is starting to become sexy," he added.
Besides, he added, conventional forms of electrical power can't grow fast enough to meet demand. Nuclear advocates admit that, even if everything goes perfectly, the U.S. may not see a new nuclear reactor until 2017 and only one to two power plants a year after that.
"It is kind of impossible to meet our needs with nuclear," he said. "We only have uranium reserves for 50 years anyway."
Coal companies claim they can build plants with carbon capture, but not until 2020.
Unfortunately, efficiency historically has been hobbled by transitory interest. The public gets interested when energy prices are high, and loses interests when they drop, or when economic growth returns. One of the first politicians to talk about the need to get off imported oil was Richard Nixon. But he didn't start talking about it during the first Middle East oil crisis in 1973. He spoke about it in 1965, in the run-up to his foiled bid to become governor of California.
So what is the solution? First, government programs. California has kept per capita electricity consumption relatively level since the mid-1970s when it enacted Title 24, the state's stringent efficiency codes. (Californians now use half the amount of energy per capita than the average of the rest of the country.) Utilities in the state are also compensated for conservation programs. It is hard to say why other states have not adopted these measures, but there is increasing talk in D.C. and other parts of the country of adopting them.
The second key is education. Businesses often don't know about the benefits. NetApp, the storage giant, and Yahoo both built energy efficient data centers in recent years. Utility rebates picked up 80 plus percent of the cost. In effect, they got free data centers.
Efficiency can also be better tied into health costs. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 people a year in the U.S. die prematurely from fumes from coal burning. Another million people acquire asthma.
"The health care costs are borne by the rate payers," he said.

We must deter Russian aggression against Ukraine, says Canada's foreign minister Mélanie Joly
January 15, 2022 bilal1558
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Russian aggression against Ukraine is jeopardizing security in the region.
On Sunday, Joly will travel to Europe to meet directly with several of her European counterparts and reaffirm Canada's support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"The amassing of Russian troops and equipment in and around Ukraine jeopardizes security in the entire region," she said in a statement. "These aggressive actions must be deterred. Canada will work with its international partners to uphold the rules-based international order and preserve the human rights and dignity of Ukrainians."
Joly's meetings will build on Canada's previous and ongoing engagement, including with NATO and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and focus on Russia's aggression and destabilizing activities in and around Ukraine.

For individuals not proficient in English, this can create a language barrier that has far-reaching impacts on essential functions of daily life. For example, in healthcare, studies have shown that non English speaking patients (and those who are hearing-impaired) have less access to preventive medicine.
When only family members are available for interpretation, misunderstanding as well as potential HIPPA violations can have a serious impact on the healthcare services a patient receives. Having an advocate within the healthcare system that speaks the same language as the patient can go a long way towards lessening that impact.
Growing Job Market for Interpreters and Translators
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the 2018 U.S. Census Bureau showed that 67.3 million Americans speak a language other than English at home. Translator services has been a growing market needed to service these individuals. Between 2019 and 2029, jobs for translators and interpreters are expected to grow by 20%, which translates into an additional 15,500 positions.
As a healthcare professional, being able to speak a second language not only improves care for patients who communicate primarily in that language—it can also improve your career opportunities.
Most Common Non-English Languages Spoken in U.S.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that at least 350 languages are spoken in American homes today. Though there are differences in the various regions of the country, the most common are:
There are especially strong opportunities for healthcare workers and translators who have a native-level ability to speak Spanish as it is by far the most widely spoken language in the U.S. other than English.
Benefits for Healthcare Workers to Learn a 2nd Language
Effective communication is essential in healthcare. "For this growing segment of the population, poor health status and diminished access to health care are frequent challenges," states the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
Translation/interpretation services provided to Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals in healthcare settings may be formal or informal. They can range from professional interpreter services to a bilingual family member or a staff member acting as translator.
The ideal scenario—although not necessarily feasible as metropolitan hospitals can encounter dozens of different languages—is for a healthcare professional, knowledgeable with the patient's condition, to be able to communicate in the language in which that patient understands.
Thus, if you are currently pursuing a or working in a healthcare career, becoming fluent in a second language will undoubtedly help you stand out from the competition.
Learning a foreign language can help further your healthcare career.
But it's more than just being a prime candidate for job offers. A healthcare provider may not be able to help patients as effectively if there is a language barrier. Carolina Amoruso, in a Winter 2011 Diversity Employers Magazine article, shared this instance: "The Wall Street Journal Online, for example, cites an incident where a doctor, unable to properly communicate with a patient, mistook
his shortness of breath for an anxiety attack when, in fact, the patient was suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication of diabetes that could have caused a coma".
Additionally, speaking in a patient's primary language can help them relax and understand the medical procedures being performed on them. When trying to comfort patient anxiety during the treatment process, it is very helpful for someone, especially professional medical staff, to speak the same language as the patient. The results are obvious: patients will be more apt to return to the healthcare provider where comfort and communication were highest and thus establishing a long relationship.
Wherever you live, learning a second language will be a great asset to your healthcare career.
The Migration Policy Institute cited that in 2016, 77% of LEP individuals in the U.S. spoke Spanish, so you might want to become proficient in that language first. But it also depends on the demographics of where you are working. For example, if you will be working in a healthcare facility near San Francisco's Chinatown, you would probably benefit from learning some basic Chinese.

Online Tools and Educational Programs
Research local and online universities/organizations to find out about second language or foreign language courses—some are offered specifically for healthcare professionals.
You might also consider completing a language immersion program in another country. For example, the Baja California Language College offers a Medical Spanish Program in Ensenada, Mexico. Or the National Registration Center for Study Abroad advertises numerous medical language programs in countries such as Bolivia, Spain, Ecuador, Mexico and Costa Rica.
There are also a countless number of language resources online. One example specifically related to healthcare is the Medical Chinese Online Teaching Module created by the New York University School of Medicine.
Learning a second language can be amazingly fun, particularly if you choose to immerse yourself in opportunities so you practice speaking and experience another culture, from attending the Spanish and Flamenco Festival in Tucson, Arizona to the Taste of Polonia in Chicago, Illinois.
Reach out to a cultural club offered in your community or at a local school to see if you can be teamed up with a language partner; they could help you with their native language and you could potentially help them with English. Who knows, a long time friendship could form.
Learning another language will not only help you professionally. It will also allow you to immerse in some new and exciting experiences and most importantly provide quality care to a more diverse array of patients.
