Thus; since then, the production of raw materials and basic chemicals for the pharmaceutical industry was realized for the first time in Egypt and the entire region.
Nasr Company for Pharmaceutical Chemicals is distinguished as the primary one in Egypt, Middle East and Africa because of its uniqueness in the production of organic and non-organic pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicine and veterinary raw materials, In addition to the production of parenteral and dialysis solutions , dialysis filters and the needed medical appliances necessary for packaging of large volume parenteral.

Tarnished (Perfected #2)
Release Date: December 2015
Summary from GoodReads:
Freedom comes at a cost…
Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet–graceful, demure…and kept. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. But while she can think and act as she pleases, the life of a liberated pet is just as confining as the Congressman’s glided cage. Her escape started a revolution, but she’s trapped, unable to get back to Penn–the boy she loves–or help the girls who need her.
Back in the United States, pets are turning up dead. With help from a very unexpected source, Ella slips deep into the dangerous black market, posing as a tarnished pet available to buy or sell. If she’s lucky, she’ll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives of everyone she’s tried to save…
Book One (Perfected):
Praise for Perfected:
“Compelling, imaginative, and unique. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!”
— Mary Lindsey, author of Shattered Souls
Perfected was one of those books that I was sad to have to wait to read the sequel. In fact, I remember trying to find a pre-release copy after reading Perfected, some time ago. Alas, a few weeks before its release, I was given an opportunity to read it! Thank you YA Bound Book Tours for allowing be to be a part of this blog hop!
Perfected left off after Ella crossed the border into Canada, but alone, without Penn, who had planned to run away with her and rescue her from being his father’s pet. In fact, the book begins:
Remember. This wasn’t freedom. This room with its dingy walls and small, square window, was just another cell. Another cage. Only this time Penn wasn’t here to help me get away.
This time, I’d have to escape on my own.
When my world was split in two, after the US police dragged Penn in one direction, while the Canadian officers pulled me in another, a part of me felt like I stayed tethered somewhere across the border, waiting for Penn to come walking across that bridge, no handcuffs weighing down his wrists, no bright red gash across his forehead. Just him, whole and well and complete.
But with that half of me gone, I couldn’t think straight anymore. There was only space for one thing: getting back to Penn.
I was proud of Ella in parts of this book. In parts, I wanted to yell, “What the hell are you thinking?!?!?!” However, Ella has definitely grown and learned since her days at the Congressman’s house.
Even though I though I knew what was going on, this book still surprised me. I didn’t expect things to be so different for the pets since Ella’s escape.
I read this book so quickly that I couldn’t believe it was over. I read a kindle version of the book, and your progress does not show at all times. I had not looked at my progress since a little over 50% to 60%. When I swiped to turn the page and saw Acknowledgements, I had to double check to make sure that I had actually just read the last page!
I had no idea if there would be another book to follow, but after reading the last page that I had no idea was the last page, OMG! OMG!
Yes, OMG x 2! It was that much of a cliff hanger!
This book did just as well as the first at giving readers an ending that would make them immediately try to get their hands on the next book…and get really upset if this is not possible. : (
I was very pleased with this book, although I was a little upset at where it ended. I am hoping that a third book is in the works, to continue where Tarnished left off. If not, I will be very sad.
This is one of those books that I will be waiting (not so patiently) to get my hands on the next one in the series. Finishing this book made me feel exactly how I felt right after finishing Perfected.
Kate Jarvik Birch seems to have the perfect recipe for the cliffhanger that makes you anxious, maybe even a little angry that you have to wait to find out what happens next.
If you liked Perfected, you will definitely love Tarnished. If you haven’t read Perfected, go do that now! Then, immediately continue with Tarnished!

... the bat, as if the trail from yesterday was reminding us there was still more to come. Then later there was a section called "Jacob's Ladder." You can imagine how much fun it was climbing that from the name. I won't say much about that other than that it went up 600 feet in .6 miles. And then, calamity struck! I got my first blister!

The campground is located in the Pigeon Forge area which is near Dollywood, Gatlinburg, etc., it looks like a great place to come with the kids lots of things to do a real tourist area like Mrytle Beach, just be sure to bring lots of $$$$$$$.

Before we get on the highway though we have one more surprise. Pigeon Forge is the next little town, a mini of Gatlinburg but wait there is more.

"The Graduate" Stage adaptation by Terry Johnson based on the novel by Charles Webb and the Screenplay by Calder willingham and Buck Henry
Stage adaptation by Terry Johnson
based on the novel by Charles Webb and the Screenplay by Calder willingham and Buck Henry
Release Date September 2011
Full cast recording featuring: Kathleen Turner, Matthew Rhys, Linda Purl & Bruce Davison
Produced by L.A. Theatre Works
107 minutes (includes an interview w/ Kathleen Turner)
L.A. Theatre works is bringing the joys of the theatre to homes of audiobook lovers everywhere. The latest installation from LATW is the stage production of "The Graduate." Terry Johnson has adapted the screenplay and the book and conglomerated them to make this version to be performed on stage and with an excellent cast featuring Kathleen Turner as the legendary Mrs. Robinson.
The best thing about these audio releases from LATW is that they put you right in the audience. You don't have to worry about bad angles viewing the proscenium, bad acoustics in the back of the auditorium because you got your tickets too late or trying to find a parking space. This production not only has great casting but the audio recording is perfect in that all characters are heard clearly and all sound effects are perfect. The unzipping of Mrs. Robinson's dress by Benjamin Braddock is heard clearly but subtle enough that it is part of the scene and not distracting.
One of the things I liked about the movie version of "The Graduate" was the music by Simon & Garfunkel. In this production LATW provides music between scenes and acts that reflects the sound and feel of a Simon & Garfunkel tune, without being a bad copy of the music. LATW has thought of everything in this production.
The cast in this production provided that fresh feel to the play and all roles were on spot. I listened to this performance on my commutes to and from work and laughed so much that while listening to this story my workdays went by with less stress. Start the workday out with a laugh and the rest of the day goes smoothly. Maybe the stress relief market would be a good venture for these audio performances.
The story behind "The Graduate" is a dip into the life of any youth asking, "What's it all about?" Benjamin Braddock comes home after graduating college but not sure what to do next. He has a fellowship grant to return to school for his masters so he can go on to be a teacher, but he's disillusioned by life. Wandering aimlessly, Ben gets seduced by Mrs. Robinson and soon they are meeting discreetly in a hotel to have an affair. With Mrs. Robinson (and Mr. Robinson) being friends with his parents Ben never feels comfortable and when Mr. Robinson and Ben's dad set him up for a date with Elain Robinson, Mrs. Robinson forbids him to date her.
Ben initially meets Elaine at a seedy bar where strippers perform in the idea to get rid of her quick. But after hurting her feelings he feels remorse and wants to make it up to her. After some time spent together Ben falls in love with Elaine. Elaine then goes off to finish college and Ben follows.
Ben has finally found out "What it's all about," but by sleeping with Elaine's mother may have ruined that possible future for himself. A funny romp through love and philosophy, this production of "The Graduate" will have you laughing and thinking. Bravo, LATW.

We started less than 24 hours from where I last was...the airport. I know I mentioned previously that one of my Christmas presents last year was an Alaska Airlines Board Room membership....sadly, Logan now associates the Board Room with the airport and the pancake machine. He'll be in a for a rude awakening come January, but until then, we ate all the pancakes we could! The window in the side of the machine is so cool - we can watch them as they get "poured" and move along the oven.
The flight took off and we were feeling a little underplanned for this vacation. There was one solid tour that Joe had booked - dune buggies on Cozumel. Everything else was just stirring around in our heads. We shouldn't have worried...by the end of the trip, we were wishing we had spent more time by the pool..
Our home away from home was the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya - booked as an exchange through our timeshare. I wasn't sure what to expect, as the places we have stayed have been all over the map in terms of quality and updated amenities. We knew we had a small kitchen, so with our rented car, we did a Costco run that first night. This resort was awesome - would definitely re-book in the future. The facilities were gorgeous - the pools were huge, numerous and filled with a variety of levels, features and locations. We even had a ginormous tub and small outdoor pool in our room! The Grand Mayan was centrally located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen....which was great in the long run because of how close it was one of our favorite dinner finds - Puerto Morelos.
Our first day, after an extremely long travel day, definitely called for extended time by the pool...we had a blast exploring all the different options and enjoying some beverages. Ahem. The day was made when, just before dinner, we were goofing off in what would later be known as the "seahawk pool" because of the colors at night. Joe and I were "falling" into the pool with L doing huge jumps from the side. After one particularly fun moment, Logan turned to me and said "I love this". Swoon.
Day 2: Zip Lining. There aren't a lot of adventure tour type things for three year olds. Go figure. I looked long and hard for options and a few rose to the top. The Extreme Zip Line tour from Selvatica
looked amazing. It was the only one that allowed kids in the preschool ranks to zip line - they were constantly tethered to one of the guides on the lines. Logan is a bit of a dare devil - but I wasn't prepared for exactly how fearless he would be. We had a chat ahead of time that the guides were like his teachers and he needed to listen to what they said. He did - the entire time. They never pushed him beyond his comfort zone - not an issue on the lines. He was all smiles, happy yells and all in all, amazing. There was some climbing involved - and I think I ended up being more nervous than he was. It ended up being a fantastic tour....
We finished up with a very bumpy ride on an old Army truck to a cenote - or a fresh water sinkhole - that is common in this part of Mexico. We had the option to jump in, zip line in or take the "chicken stairs". Joe was one of the first to zip line in and, after making sure he had a good life vest on, Logan was quick to follow...he wasn't the most graceful, but wow...he was brave and the entire staff was awesome with reassuring us and him that they were right there. Huge applause from all the other guests once he dropped in...it was kind of amazing. He ventured up to the zip line another time or two, but wasn't in favor of going again. I got shamed into zip lining (Mom, your boy just did it...) and it definitely took my breath away at first impact. But, it was all awesome. There was an inner tube that we quickly started using that made the rest of the swim awesome.
Day 3: Dune Buggy Ride in Cozumel. This was our attempt at re-living the amazing dune buggy trip we had on our very first cruise.
We jumped on the fast ferry for Cozumel, with the super plus couch, and off we went!
While it didn't quite hit epic proportions, it was a nice tour of the island. We used Cozumel Cruise Excursions because they were the only one to do private tours. We were left waiting at the terminal for about 20 minutes until our guide finally showed up. Our first buggy didn't have a functioning seat belt in the front - a deal breaker. We waited and got the vehicle swapped - we were on our way. My big gripe was that this tour felt very packaged...from the snorkel stop to the lunch stop - it was all packaged and it was all an attempt to make more money. Logan didn't snorkel at all - we played in the hammocks while Joe and the guide were out there...one of the coolest things, though, was the lighthouse that we climbed up...wonderful view and Logan was a trooper, again, with a long, narrow staircase. Logan's highlight was drinking coconut water out of an actual coconut. None of us enjoyed it all that much, but L put on a good show for his buddy Emmett...
Day 4: Another pool day. Whew....much needed. The kiddo and I got daquiris at the swim up bar while daddy enjoyed his beverage...
Since I have a hard time staying in one spot all day long, I convinced Joe that we needed to head to Puerto Morelos for dinner. It sounded like a great little town from the books and I was eager to have sine less fussy food...
It was perfect. We ate at La Sirena the first night...I had a massive bowl of ceviche that was perfect...light, tart and nice spice with the fresh slivers of jalapeño peppers. Pictures? Nah....it was devoured too quickly. Joe and the kiddo had burgers...we both loved the prices, the town with the large open air market in the town square...it was on our list to come back to another night.
Day 5: Tulum and Ziggy's Beach.
One of our decisions for this trip was if we should get a rental car or not. Cars in Mexico are relatively inexpensive to rent...but the insurance is a definite add on for cost. However, when we looked at everything we wanted to do, the freedom we like to have, and the ability to do things like go out for dinner, it was a no brainier. Joe and I both ended up driving...which was an adventure in and of itself. But, once we learned the general rules of the road...it was fairly easy to get around. We were definitely happy with the car decision.
Tulum is one of the major Mayan Ruin sites in the region and it's known for being the most picturesque due to its location right on the ocean. It isn't the largest, but it's definitely the closest one to the resorts. Getting there as early as possible to avoid the tour groups is one of the major tips in the guide books...so, off we were, early on vacation yet again.
I wouldn't say we avoided the tour groups, due to a little bit of confusion with the directions....but we were still there before 0930...
It was definitely a lovely site. The ruins are held back from the groups by ropes...so no climbing on them! This was my second set of ruins that I had been to. Ages ago in college, I had the opportunity to go to Belize for a volunteer spring break trip. One of the touristy things we did was to go to the ruins at Xunantunich. Those were definitely more impressive and we were able to climb and explore. But this was also almost 20 years ago before Belize really hit the big times with tourism and it seems like there were likely fewer concerns about preserving the sites. Next time, I think we'd do the drive and go to Chichen Itza or Coba.
It was hot as all get out...Logan held strong for a while and then after we came back up from the beach, I carried him for most of the rest of the time...
Joe was off taking pictures...so Logan and I tried to find shade to hide in....we were all much happier in the shade.
Leaving the ruins, the main route outs you into an area packed with shops...we might have made one purchase....we eyed up a Seahawk luchador mask, but Joe didn't like it because the colors weren't "authentic" enough.
And, finally...who knew there were Logan cars in Mexico?!
One of the downsides of our resort was that the beach isn't swimmable. The area south of Fukui has some of those amazingly picturesque beaches and soft soft sand....there are a ton of beach clubs that will let you use their facilities...provided you buy drinks or food.
Ziggy's Club fit the bill perfectly. It was pretty far south away from Tulum (I.e., about 3km)...and when we got there, it was empty. That changed with about an hour, but even when all the loungers and tables filled up, the beach was still inviting.
Red flag waves, so we were definitely cautious with Logan playing....a property or two away, the waves seemed to break a little bit further off the beach and there wasn't quite as much kelp, so he had a good time at that spot.
In our pre kids days, Joe and I could have spent an entire day here...but knowing we had a long drive, plus a kid who needed to nap, limited the time we spent.
The facilities at Ziggy's were great....the food was yummy (shrimp tacos with hualoche!)...Logan slayed his pizza. Absolutely slayed it.
Dinner time brought another trip to Puerto Morelos...we went for Al Chimichurri... The empanadas were spectacular....it was nice to have a decent glass of wine and then the steaks were great...Chimichurri sauce as well as a spicy (!) sauce came out as condiments. I forked up on ordering for L...he grabbed a menu and saw pizza. I should have stayed with my gut and just gotten him an empanada, but I relented. After slaying one pizza, another one was too much...but, he loved the empanada.
There was a torrential downpour towards the end of the dinner that drove half the restaurant inside...we quickly paid our bill and got ready for the next day...
Day 6: Xcaret
Whe I was doing the research for this vacation, a few of these Eco-adventure tourism parks showed up everywhere. Xcaret, Xplor, Xel-ha are the big ones. Admission is free for kids under 5 at all of them,but only Xcaret really had any major activities that the preschool set could participate in...I imagine in another couple of years, L will be game for the others.
Sigh, when I booked this one (specific day tickets) a few days prior, the weather was clear. The night before, it became obvious that wasn't the case. More huge downpours as we were getting ready to leave the hotel. I was starting to dread the day...but, we are hearty northwesteners. We out on our rain jackets and go...so we went.
We headed for the "underground" rivers right away. We figured that if we were wet, we might as well be totally wet.
The rivers were a blast. It took until later in the day to realize how to get to the other two rivers that I knew were there, but we overlooked. We all wore life jackets and powered through...it was a bit exhausting swimming with Logan on our backs or fronts. Even though he's all about the water, his swimming is limited to about 10 feet max.
There were lots of other things to see here...sea turtles, spider monkeys...and an absolutely phenomenal aviary that had just opened.
Joe heading out of his last underground river...the three different rivers all had different routes through the park, all ending at the same location. The second one we did together sent us through the "Mayan village" and underneath a gorgeous stained glass ceiling. Really cool...my one wish was that we had brought a waterproof camera with us.
Xcaret definitely wasn't the cheapest of days (we paid $99 for each adult...would have been cheaper if we had reserved earlier), and I didn't expect to be walking out around 4pm. But we had a very full day and it ended up being decent weather. I think the intermittent downpours scared a lot of people off and we basically had the park to ourselves by the time we left.
Finally, a few minutes of down time and that means mommy lets the kiddo actually use the iPad. Star Wars Angry Birds? Yes, please.

The bohemian aesthetic—worn woods, Moroccan rugs, pattern on pattern, copious plants—has been a huge influence on home decor in the past few years. But lately I've been seeing a bit of a shift, or maybe you could call it a marriage. There's a new look I'm calling "new bohemian"; it's bohemian reloaded, with a leaner, more minimal look. You could also call it Scandinavian bohemian, because what it really is is a mashup of two styles that used to be at opposite ends of the spectrum and now find themselves coming together: Scandinavian minimalism and bohemian maximalism. Like a lot of pairings of opposites, it's particularly effective, a lovely balance of the best things about both styles. Let's take a look.

A problem that can be very serious for a homeowner is when they experience backflow. Backflow is caused by a sudden drop in water pressure. This could happen due to a burst main water pipe, a fire hydrant being used by the fire department, or because of some natural disaster. Whatever the cause, the drop in pressure can lead to sewage being pulled back up the pipe, into a home. You can just imagine what havoc that could cause in your home, and this is why a device called an atmospheric vacuum breaker is used. These pipes are built over the ground, and their purpose is to pull air into the system and thus preventing backflow. It basically is a simple valve that lets water flow during normal operation, but if there are possible backflow conditions, it will instead let air in and break the vacuum.
While it is a simple construction, it is a vital part of a functioning water supply system.

The resignation of Shaun Wright, the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), now looks inevitable after his own party said he should quit following the "devastating" report into child abuse in Rotherham, the Labour Party has said.
Mr Wright was the Labour council cabinet member responsible for children's services in Rotherham from 2005 to 2010, in the middle of a 16-year period when, according to a report released yesterday, 1,400 youngsters suffered wide-scale sexual exploitation including gang rapes, grooming and trafficking.
He apologised to victims of abuse today and insisted he had no knowledge of the scale of the problem when he was a councillor in the South Yorkshire town.
But the Labour Party said today he should step down from his post following the publication of the damning report into the scandal.
A Labour spokesman said: "The report into child abuse in Rotherham was devastating in its findings. Vulnerable children were repeatedly abused and then let down.
"In the light of this report, it is appropriate that South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner Shaun Wright should step down."
But Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said the party could not force him to do anything.
"The Labour Party has no power to compel somebody who has been elected Police & Crime Commissioner to stand down," he told Radio Four's The World At One.
Jane Collins, the Ukip MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, said that Mr Wright's position was "untenable" and added that he does not "deserve a second chance".
Mr Wright, who was elected as the Labour PCC in 2012, insisted he had taken his share of responsibility by quitting Rotherham council in 2010 after the scandal was first revealed.
He told Sky News: "Clearly I'm very sorry for any abuse that took place - if I could have prevented it, I would. Any right-minded human being would want to protect vulnerable children, of that I am convinced.
"All I can say is that this is a top priority for South Yorkshire Police and it will remain a top priority for South Yorkshire Police for as long as I am in this role."
He added: "I take my share of the responsibility, there was systemic failure and I only wish that I knew more at the time - if I knew then what I know now, then clearly more could have done.
"I think I took appropriate actions where that was available.
"I do have regrets that perhaps I was not more aware of the issue at the time where I could have perhaps influenced services better.
"But in the end I regret my role in that systemic failure and I have taken responsibility for that."
Mr Wright said abuse report author Professor Alexis Jay should have gone further and "named names" in terms of council officials, politicians and police officers who had failed to protect youngsters from abuse.
He said issues identified in the report regarding culture and ethnicity came as a "huge surprise" to him because he had not been made aware of the problems at the time.
Shaun Wright, the South Yorkshire PCC (for now)
He told the broadcaster: "What Prof Jay has painted a picture of is really an industrial scale of child abuse that was taking place.
"To that extent I was simply not aware of the scale of the problem.
"Had I have been and I would have been aware of the issue then like I am today, then clearly much more action would and could have been taken.
"What this report demonstrates is that lots of information was not escalated up to political level or indeed senior management level. For that I am hugely shocked and hugely sorry."
Prof Jay's report - commissioned by the council - said failures of the political and officer leadership of Rotherham council between 1997 and 2009 were "blatant" as the seriousness of the problem was underplayed by senior managers and was not seen as a priority by South Yorkshire Police.
Rotherham council leader Roger Stone resigned yesterday following its publication and there were calls for Mr Wright to follow suit.
The report, which looked at a period between 1997 and 2013, detailed "utterly appalling" examples of "children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally-violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone".
Prof Jay said that children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in northern England, abducted, beaten and intimidated.
The spotlight first fell on Rotherham in 2010 when five men were given lengthy jail terms after they were found guilty of grooming teenage girls for sex.
Umar Razaq, 24, Razwan Razaq, 30, Zafran Ramzan, 21, Adil Hussain 20, and Mohsin Khan, 21, were found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court of a string of sex-related offences against girls aged between 12 and 16, including rape.

Financial barriers present an ever-present challenge to health and social care services, hindering progress, service quality delivery and access to essential resources. Understanding how to overcome such hurdles is vital for creating an accessible healthcare system. How to overcome financial barriers in health and social care? we explore these financial hurdles further and present practical strategies and solutions so they do not threaten individuals’ and communities’ well-being.
Reducing Financial Barriers in Health and Social Care
Financial barriers in health and social care refer to restrictions or challenges caused by limited financial resources, such as budget constraints, inadequate funding sources and disparate resource allocation practices. Their effects can be felt across service providers and recipients – from access restrictions for essential treatments to compromised quality services; financial barriers impact every aspect of healthcare delivery.
Understanding Root Causes
Before exploring solutions, it’s essential to understand the sources of financial barriers in health and social care. These often stem from systemic issues, policy deficiencies and the need for prioritization – often leaving organizations within this sector operating within tight budgetary restrictions with no room for innovation or expansion of services. Tackling these root causes is vital in creating a sustainable framework for better financial management and resource allocation.
1. Advocating for Policy Reforms
An effective strategy for overcoming financial barriers in health and social care is advocating for policy reforms. Policies are central in shaping healthcare environments, such as funding distribution and overall system efficiency. Advocacy efforts should focus on pushing through legislation to prioritize adequate health and social care organization funding. Hence, they can access the financial resources needed for high-quality service delivery.
Engaging actively with policymakers allows healthcare professionals and community advocates to work collaboratively toward positive change. This includes providing evidence-based arguments, sharing examples of financial barriers preventing access to care, and emphasizing the long-term benefits of investing in health and social care services.
2. Increasing Financial Literacy
Fostering financial literacy within health and social care settings is integral for organizations to navigate budget constraints effectively. Many institutions need more awareness of available resources, budgeting processes, or alternative funding streams.
Organizations can successfully address their financial literacy challenges by investing in staff education at all levels. This should include healthcare professionals, administrators and support staff receiving instruction on budgeting techniques, resource allocation strategies, and finding sources of additional funding opportunities. A financially literate workforce will efficiently utilize available resources while identifying cost-cutting measures and exploring funding alternatives. How to Overcome Financial Barriers in Health and Social Care? Enhancing financial literacy is an integral component, equipping organizations to make informed financial decisions that maximize the impact of available resources.
3. Investigating Collaborative Funding Models
Traditional funding models may only sometimes meet the complex demands of health and social care services, making collaborative funding models an innovative means of meeting those needs. Partnerships among public, private, non-profit and government entities and collaboration with non-profits offer new funding and resource-sharing opportunities.
Organizations can actively seek partnerships with corporations, philanthropic foundations, and community organizations to diversify their funding sources. Collaborative funding models provide financial support and instill a sense of shared responsibility in working towards bettering health and social outcomes.
4. Utilizing Technology for Cost Efficiency
Modern technology provides many solutions to improve efficiency and reduce health and social care costs. Employing digital innovations such as telehealth, electronic health records and data analytics can streamline processes, maximize resource usage and ultimately boost overall cost-efficiency.
Telehealth allows for remote consultations, cutting costs associated with physical infrastructure and travel expenses. Electronic health records facilitate seamless information sharing, eliminating redundant tests and administrative fees. Data analytics identify trends to allocate resources where they’re most needed proactively.
How to Overcome Financial Barriers in Health and Social Care, utilizing digital solutions as cost-cutters is one innovative strategy to increase effectiveness while optimizing financial resources.
5. Community Engagement and Fundraising Initiatives
Engaging the community is an effective strategy to overcome health and social care financial barriers. Fostering strong ties creates an atmosphere of shared responsibility for health outcomes while engaging in fundraising initiatives. Once community members become aware of the economic hardships local healthcare organizations are experiencing, many are willing to give time, resources, or money towards supporting essential services.
Organising fundraising events, creating community outreach programs, and sharing financial needs with transparent communication is one way of creating a sustainable cycle of community support. Not only can this approach generate additional funds, but it can also strengthen bonds between healthcare providers and the patients/communities they serve. How to Overcome Financial Barriers in Health and Social Care? One approach that stands out is community engagement and fundraising initiatives, engaging members directly in financially supporting health and social care organizations.
Reducing financial barriers in health and social care requires an inclusive strategy that addresses root causes, fosters innovation, and embraces collaboration. Advocating for policy reforms, improving economic literacy levels, exploring collaborative funding models that use technology to reduce cost efficiencies, engaging communities in fundraising activities, and advocating for policy reform are essential components of a practical approach to overcoming financial hurdles in these industries. When considering how to overcome financial barriers in health and social care systems, the solution lies in making efforts that turn obstacles into opportunities, ensuring financial constraints do not restrict quality care access for all.

Police have appealed for witnesses after a cyclist was seriously injured yesterday in a collision involving a bus on the Strand in central London.
Officers say they were called to the scene at the junction with Arundel Street, WC1, shortly after 5pm on Saturday 4 June.
The cyclist, aged in his 40s, sustained serious head injuries and was taken to hospital by air ambulance with his condition is described as “critical.”
The driver of the bus was not arrested but was said to be helping police in their investigation.
Witnesses are requested to call the Metropolitan Police’s Merton Traffic Garage on 0208 543 5157 or the charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Mitchell Old (Year 12) holds the position of Co-School Captain at Northholm Grammar School. On Friday 20th September, Mitchell was presented with the John Lincoln Youth Community Service Award by the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency The Honourable Margaret Beazley AO QC, at NSW Government House. The John Lincoln Youth Community Service Award was instituted to recognise Senior NSW secondary school students who have made outstanding contributions that benefit their communities. These awards define and identify role models at all levels within our communities and inspire us all to become more fully engaged citizens. It is this service beyond school boundaries that was recognised by the late Dr John Lincoln AM, Northholm’s Founding Chair of Council, who initiated the Youth Community Service Award in 1992.
Mitchell has made an outstanding contribution to the local community with the sole focus to build community spirit, raise money and awareness for those in need.
As part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Mitchell volunteers at the local Dural Salvation Army Store. Mitchell joined the local community band – the Castle Hill Youth Wind Orchestra. He marches annually in the Sydney ANZAC Day March and participates at the Castle Hill RSL ANZAC Day Memorial Service. Mitchell also joined the Big Band, which performs at local community events such as the Hills District Orange Blossom Festival. He is a regular volunteer at Park Run, a community event run by locals for locals in Galston.
Most significant are the major fund raising events Mitchell has coordinated. In 2018, Mitchell, along with another Northholm Leadership student, chose to raise money for Redkite. They have co-ordinated a number of activities over the past two years including sales of roses, two Colour Runs and the coordination of a Trivia Night. To date, Mitchell and his team have raised over $14, 000 for this organisation. Most recently Mitchell and his Co-Captain organised a very successful Jazz Café event. The aim of the event was to reach out into the community through a night of Jazz entertainment.
In other community events over the past two years, Mitchell has participated as a member of the School’s team in the Hills Shire Relay For Life; and in taking Northholm’s musical groups into the local community at Mark Donaldson VC House at Rowland Village, a community for seniors. Mitchell has been instrumental in this series of events, including performances to those in high care as well as to those in residential aged care.
All this has been achieved while Mitchell has fulfilled his daily responsibilities as a School Captain, a committed and high achieving academic student and an outstanding musician who has multiple weekly rehearsals and personal commitments. The School cannot speak more highly of the contribution that Mitchell has made, nor of the calibre of leadership he demonstrates as a role model to others.

Is whether she flies or not a dealbreaker of some kind? Versions of Diana have been flying since the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Comic bletherings by me at: http://dangermart.blogspot.com/
Something about her pose and facial expression just screams "look at me, I am lifting a plane". Its very similar to the face she sported while attacking Darksied. Her face then said, "look at me, I am blinding the guy who took out superman." Now that I think about it, a good number of her awesome JL moments have been accompanied with an exaggerated facial expression. I think the creative team might be trying a little too hard to make her look bad a**.
I didnt care for her lifting the plane. The best part for me was the flashback where they end up on Apocolips and she's smiling like "parademons? Hellz yeah! Cyborg you should malfunction more often!"
I forgot to add that it's not just an action figure commercial, it's also a commercial for other books. Apart from an indirect boost to Green Arrow, the book BLATANTLY advertises Night of Owls and JL Dark. BLATANTLY.
Character wise, you know you're doing something bad when Steve Trevor is the most interesting part of a JL book with Superman, Batman, WW, GL, etc. Trevor and Argus sort of are DC's Fury and Shield. I'm personally loving that.
The Shazam backup is good too.

A Chesham haulier has been given two months to find a replacement transport manager after he was disqualified by East of England Traffic Commissioner, Richard Turfitt, from acting in the role.
John Hance was also told that he would need to take and pass Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) examinations before he can again seek to act as a transport manager himself.
He was called to a public inquiry after one of his vehicles was issued with a safety critical prohibition notice for a steered axle tyre tread worn beyond the legal limit, where the examiner found the cords exposed and broken.
This was classed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the Traffic Commissioner as a most serious infringement.
In addition, one of the firm's drivers failed to produce tachograph records at the roadside and the annual test failure rate was at 67% over five years.
Concluding that Mr Hance’s repute as an operator had been tarnished by the vehicle examiner’s findings, Mr Turfitt made an order to curtail his licence from four to two vehicles.
He also recorded three undertakings on the licence, including that by April 2014 all existing and new drivers would have received driver walk-round module training.

For this particular shot…I was looking to do something really strong with a lot of emotion, in black and white, with an iconic feel to the image.
Getting the emotion was fairly easy, but getting the hair to do what we wanted…well, that took a little bit more time, a lot of wind…and a touch of pixel-pushing after the fact.

Afshar Rug/An Introduction on the Carpets of Iran
The main population of Afshar tribe is in Northeast Iran, mostly in Zanjan and West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Ghazvin, Hamedan and northern parts of Markazi province (Saveh, Borchelou).
Afshar tribe, a Turkish race, is speaking in Azeri, dialects of which are different in different folk groups like that of Abhar Inanlou.
"Afshar" is derived from "Oshar (swift in Azeri) which was entitled by Nader Shah to his soldiers. Afshar, one of the biggest nomad tribes IS situated in Northwest Iran; like other nomad tribes widespread, tending toward settlement in recent decades. However, three places are noted for the immigration of this tribe.
In spring and summer seasons, they settled in Hamedan Asad Abad Mountains, Kurdistan Chehel Cheshmeh Eastern Spillways, Bijar Pir Mahmoud Mountains, Ghorveh, Angouran Mahanshan, Belgheis, Damir lou, Ghaflan Kooh Mountains, and Allier southern Mountains.
Intervening Wintering Places
With the weather becoming cold on the outset of autumn, tribe folks were coming down from summering places gathering along streams flowing into the main branch of Ghezel Ozan, in Garmab and its surroundings( west of Zanjan). This is called 'Una Ghestilaghs (Intervening wintering place) of Afshars.
Ceremonies, feasts, shooting (archery) matches and horse riding were held at this time, after which nomads sat off their final wintering place following deals in Zanjan bazaar.
Final Wintering Places
The distance covered by Afshar tribe from their middle wintering place to the final destination was about 250 to 350 kilometers and their tribe was moving from Abhar Rood and Khara Rood to Kharaghan, Karaj surroundings and at last Saveh and Corn surroundings, the main wintering places. The summering and wintering place road was the tribes' route from a long time ago and even Mad era.
Raw Materials and Weave
Afshar hand-weaves have quality raw materials and weave. Afshars have woven different kinds of weaves from a long time ago with no overt start time of weaving. Afshar tribe has a sheep breed homonym with this tribe yielding excellent and long piles, only existent in dark color. Tribal women sort out yams, turn them to hand-spun piles and apply them to carpet, kilim, Hint gloves and saddle.
Afshar carpets among tribal and rural carpets feature a high density. and good quality They are woven in all sizes: Rug sized, Zar' and a half, Zar' and charak, Pushti, Runner, Doormat, Kharak. Afshar carpets were produced as "Takht Baf" (flat-weave) and "Nim-Lool" (semi-offset warps) in old times: currently as "Lul-Baf" (completely offset warps). The knot, symmetrical (Turkish) knot, is tied by hand.
In past when most Afshar weaves were flat, 100% woolen carpets were produced. Dark brown wool was often used for warp yam since it had enough strength without demanding dyeing. Yams from cotton are today used in lieu of woolen warp and weft and Lul-Baf (completely offset warps) is now prevalent Thick weft is usually in white and red and thin weft in grey and red (pink). 30-45 row count is common in different Afshar regions. Connective Selvedge (wefts wrapping edge finishes) in most carpets and Zanjireh (weft chaining in webbing end) through the use of colored pile in flat-weave carpets at the upper and lower ends are used. In some regions, "thread weft" is used for more density.
Design and Coloring
Afshar carpets come in a variety of designs but common designs are Medallion and Corner, Shah Abbasi Afshan, Fish, Gul Farang Afshan (Bunch of flowers), Ghabi (Gul Mirza Ali), Zel-l Sultan Vase, Botteh.
One of the characteristics of Afshar designs is the motif repetition and a mixture of designs with a steady and regular tone. Most Afshar carpets have been woven by Ornaks (a piece of carpet, on the basis of which other carpets designs are formed), in some regions by image and from memory.
Star Medallions, Shamseh and Hexagons peculiar to Afshar designs are used.
Borders are usually narrower than the rug size and various designs like Phoenix and Dragon constitute dominant designs of the region.
Designs are pectinated and geometrical.
12-15 color continuums, some of which are natural dyes of wool, are applied.
In old carpets, colors are glossy; the gloss is for surface scales friction of quality wool. The wool of Afshar sheep breed is dark in brown continuum and the possibility of light colors is zero in dyeing.
Red from madder, blue from indigo and other colors are extracted and used in dyeing. The number of colors reaches 8 to 12 colors. Dominant regions of carpet weaving can be referred to as Takab, Shahin Dezh, Bijar surroundings, Zanjan, Yaskand, Bidgineh, Gholtogh, Shahrak, Khor Jahan, Garmab, Fareydoun, Ola Boyk, Dadezin, and Borchelou.

It’s happened to all of us. You’ve had a great group dinner - and then the bill comes. And it’s horrifying. You don’t understand how your meal (which, now seeing it with new eyes, wasn’t even that good) and drinks (OK...so there were four of them) could have cost you $107. The walls are closing in on you, you no longer like your friends, and you certainly can’t afford more drinks afterwards, let alone brunch tomorrow.
We’re here to make sure this scenario never happens to you again. There are certain times for balling out with your friends. For all the other times - when you just want to get dinner with some people you like - consult this list.
Restaurants in the Meatpacking District tend to feel like clubs that just happen to serve overpriced food. But Old Rose is different. It’s in a great-looking space, with high ceiling and big windows, in the bottom of the Jane Hotel, and it’s about as casual as a place like The Smile, probably because it’s from the same owners. Here, they make things like pizza, pasta, and salad - and it’s surprisingly good for how affordable it is. They also have a few big tables for groups, but you should make a reservation if you’re eating on the weekend.
Vic is big, it’s centrally-located (in Noho), and they serve some solid Italian food. And while we wouldn’t say it’s the cheapest place, pretty much all the pastas and pizzas cost less than $20. So if you need a casual, good-looking spot downtown for dinner with some people you went to summer camp with twenty years ago, this is a good choice.
Shuka is from the same people behind Vics, and, like that restaurant, it’s one of those places where you go when you haven’t made a reservation, you dinner is three days out, and you need a place that’s both nice and affordable. The food here is Mediterranean - stuff like hummus and chicken schnitzel. It’s also in a surprisingly large space on a quiet block in Soho that’s close to plenty of trains. That, plus the fact that everyone will be able to find something to eat here, should make it easy to get a group together.
If you’re planning a dinner for your group of friends, and you’ve had either tacos or Italian the last five times you’ve gone out, try Win Son. It’s a Taiwanese restaurant in East Williamsburg where you can get some minced pork over rice, some fried pork buns, or a chicken sandwich that tastes like the best version of fast food. Plus, the space is casual, the service is friendly, and they typically have a good soundtrack going.
If you’re uptown and you need a place for a fun, affordable dinner with a few friends, try Oso. Maybe even come here on your birthday. They make some great cocktails and tacos, as well as some bigger things like steak and enchiladas. Plus, it’s a cool space with concrete walls and a big colorful mural. It feels like a spot you’d find in the East Village.
You might consider getting a little tattoo on your arm with the address and phone number of Speedy Romeo. It works for a lot of things, so it’s a good place to be aware of at all times.The pizzas are good, and the steak and burger are even better. The space is also about as casual as you want a neighborhood pizzeria to be, and it’s a fun place to start your weekend.
Birds of a Feather is one of those places that’s actually better with a group. Get some wontons in chili oil, Chungking chicken, and whatever else sounds good, because the menu is solid across board, and it’s all pretty inexpensive. There’s also a big communal table in the middle of the space, as well as a few booths off the side that are good for smaller groups. Just be sure to make a reservation if you’re coming with a bunch of people. It gets pretty busy.
Maybe you’re heading out with a few friends on Thursday night, or maybe you’re watching your sister’s kids, and the only food you’ve ever seen them eat is noodles. Go to Celeste. It’s a neighborhood Italian spot on the Upper West Side where you can grab some very affordable pizza and pasta. Just know that this place is cash only and that you should bring enough for wine. Especially if you’re babysitting your sister’s kids.
If Sally Roots were in Nolita, there would be a Jack’s-Wife-Freda sized line outside the front door every weekend. The Caribbean food isn’t necessarily mind-blowing - but you’ll be happy with some of their pork and tostones in front of you. Also, the tropical-themed space gets loud and dark like a bar at night, so it’s a good spot for a fun night out with a group. And if it’s warm outside, be sure to sit in the big backyard.
Unlike a lot of places on the Upper East Side, Up Thai is a place you can confidently roll into with a group of people. Even more unusual: you can confidently roll in here, eat a lot, and not spend a ton of money. Beyond the reliably good food, the space is nice - there are a bunch of lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and it feels like a furniture store (in a good way).
If you’re looking for the kind of dinner where you can order too much food and drink too much wine, without spending too much money, consider Taverna Kyclades. This classic Astoria spot makes you feel like you’re being cooked for by the Greek aunt you never had, and everything is served family-style. You and your friends will share giant plates of lamb and octopus and potatoes, split affordable bottles of wine, and walk out stuffed and happy. If you don’t want to wait for a table, definitely get there early - the crowds know about this place.
You’ll wonder where this place has been all your life. And that isn’t because they have things you’ve never seen, but because it’s extremely cheap, the service is friendly, there are margarita pitchers, and the food is surprisingly decent. The restaurant itself is borderline divey, but there’s plenty of room for groups (with additional seating downstairs). It’s also worth noting that they have televisions and drop-down projectors for anyone who needs to watch sports while they eat. Come here with some friends, and eat some tacos and quesadillas. That way, you save money for drinking afterwards.
If you want to play it safe, make a reservation. This place gets busy on weekends, and that’s because it happens to be what everyone’s craving at the moment: good, healthy-ish food that’s fresh, flavorful, and not too expensive. Go with a group and sit at one of their picnic tables. If you want, you can spend a lot of money here, but you could also have a four-dollar beer and an excellent burger. The service is laid-back, and there are many nearby places to drink after dinner.
When you hear “lava lamp beer pitcher,” what do you think? If you think it’s something you could get down with, and you’re a fan of Korean fried chicken, Turntable Chicken Jazz is the place for you. It’s semi-hidden on the second floor of a building in K-Town, and there’s plenty of room for big groups. Their fried chicken wings are a must, and you should order their skewers of fried potato coins just to get a visual. (They also do a good bulgogi burger.) This isn’t the classiest place in the world, but it’s nicer than a lot of the spots in the area, and they’ll put a light-up beer dispenser on your table.
Thursday Kitchen might not be a huge place, but it’s larger than it looks from the outside, and you can get an alcoholic drink in a Capri Sun-type pouch here. Unless your group is massive, you’ll be able to find a place to sit (although there might be a wait). This place is popular, and maybe that’s because the pouch drinks glow in the dark. It also might be because the food is fun, interesting, and inexpensive. This is a Korean restaurant, but the influences are all over the place. Yes, you can get a crispy seafood pancake or a steak with feta grits. Stop by this basement space in the East Village the next time you and your friends want something more exciting than tacos or pizza.
Hot pot works like this: you choose a broth, pick some veggies and some meat, then cook everything in a pot at your table. It’s sort of like Korean barbecue, and, actually, Hometown Hot Pot does that too. You come here for the hot pot, however, and it’s about $24 per person. That gets you unlimited meat, veggies, noodles, and broth. And if that sounds like a good deal, that’s because it is, and you aren’t the only one who knows it. This place is actually massive (with two floors), but it still gets busy. If you’re with a group of 6 or more, call ahead for a reservation. Smaller parties have to take their chances, and, regardless of party size, everyone should prepare to drink cheap beer and leave smelling like meat.
We doubt these guys have any voicemails from the James Beard Foundation waiting in their inbox, but they do make some very decent food on the cheap. Of the four locations now open, the one on Hudson Street is the largest and easiest to get a table at. Stop by with your friends when you don’t need something fancy and the majority of you are craving fries. There are a lot of veggie options (as well as a pretty good veggie burger), so this is also a good place to take someone who doesn’t eat meat.
Tortaria gets crowded, and it’s first-come-first-served. Place an order at the counter, then have the most intimidating person in your group acquire a bank of tables. This isn’t especially high-end or authentic Mexican, but it’s better than you expect, and it’s a good place for a very casual hang with a few pitchers of margaritas. If you’re with a group, the taquito platters are a decent option. For around $30, you get eight taquitos, chips and guac, and spicy fries. Get a few for the table - and don’t forget to try a torta.
The next-best thing to a group dinner in a Mexican courtyard is the Manhattan version of a group dinner in a Mexican courtyard: Tacombi Fonda Nolita. The menu is simple - mostly tacos and a few apps - which makes it perfect for a big group situation (because no one is actually excited about dealing with sharing). A $30 sangria pitcher or three won’t hurt, either.
Malatesta is the kind of place that makes you wonder why all restaurants can’t be exactly like it. The atmosphere is charming and warm, the staff makes you feel like you’re a regular even if it’s your first time, they take reservations, and everything (including the wine) is at the kind of price you actually feel good about paying. As for the food? This is simple, rustic Italian at its best - Malatesta delivers on everything from tomato sauce spaghetti to steak tagliata to tiramisu.
Going to dinner before a night out? Esperanto is proof that when you combine good, cheap food and drinks, great vibes, occasional flamenco dancing, and Avenue C, awesome things can happen. Esperanto continues to have that special something that keeps it at the top of our list for a night you probably won’t remember.
The Upper West Side isn’t the worst place to eat in NYC, but it is one of the worst places to try to eat affordably. In groups. Han Dynasty, however, is a spicy glimmer of hope: this is some of the best Chinese food in the city, and the key to success here is a giant order of many things. The Dan Dan noodles need to be on your table in multiples, but otherwise feel free to choose your own adventure - it’ll be great no matter what.
We know you’re on the edge of your seats, so we’ll just tell you now: 12 Chairs does, in fact, have more than twelve chairs. In fact, it’s a good-sized space that’s never too cramped or busy. And between its breakfast all day, traditional Middle Eastern dishes, sandwiches, salads, and some pierorgies and schnitzels for good measure, 12 Chairs’ menu has something for everyone. Even your complain-iest friends will have a hard time complaining about the fact that there isn’t a single item over $20.
Ivan Ramen is the rare exception to the rule of top-quality ramen spots being generally tiny, uncomfortable, and impossible for a group of adults larger than two. If you’re looking for noodles with a crew, you can’t do much better.
Homestyle Korean food that’s both interesting and approachable, a trendy environment, super-reasonable prices, amazing Soju cocktails, and it’s called “Her Name Is Han”? Yeah, that place isn’t real. Only it is. And it’s one of the best new spots for a group. Instead of telling all your friends about this possibly made-up restaurant, bring them here and see it for yourselves.
Sorry everyone else, Lil’ Frankie’s is truly the ultimate affordable group dining destination. In fact, it pretty much invented the category. The formula to Lil’ Frankies success? Consistently tasty, straightforward Italian food, plus a lively, casual environment, plus great prices equals a restaurant that literally no one can argue with. If your group comes to Lil’ Frankies and doesn’t have a good time, you may need to re-evaluate your friendships.
There’s no better way to unite people than over a heaping pile of meat. Except if those people are vegetarians. But we can ignore them for the purposes of this caption. Morgan’s has a laid-back, Texan vibe (and yes, I am allowed to say that because I am one) that works really well for casual group hangs.
Yet another crowd-pleasing Italian entry on this list, Galli is our standby in Soho for group gatherings. In an area littered with overpriced establishments, Galli is truly the only laid-back yet still lively spot for solid cocktails and Italian food (the pesto pasta and parms are highlights). As an added plus, we can pretty much guarantee you’ll successfully avoid the selfie-stick-armed tourist scene.
If you didn’t know about it, you would easily pass by Shanghai 456 without another thought - just another brightly lit, neon-signed, lo mein spot. Well, now you know: Shanghai 456 is home to some of the best Shanghai-style Chinese food in the city. Wrangling a group to go sit at a giant round table and over-order dumplings, scallion pancakes, and noodles is never a bad idea. You’ll walk out stuffed and happy and not much poorer for it.
Do not - we repeat - do not come to Paulie Gee’s with a crew not expecting a wait. But it won’t be hard to convince your friends that it’s worth it - just assure them that there are plenty of bars nearby (like Ramona’s for fancy cocktails or Brouwerij Lane for craft beer). Once your name is up, the picnic tables inside will be yours and you’ll have the chance to to eat your weight in some of the best pizza in the city. There needs to be more than one Hellboy present.
If you live in Gramercy, there’s a chance you’ve walked by Mexico Lindo a hundred times and always written it off as a straight shot to indigestion. But you would be wrong. This is the perfect place to kick back with some friends over some beers while going hard on some fajitas. If your group is made up of people that would have no problem requesting skinny pomegranate margaritas, set your sights elsewhere. But if you’re looking for a casual hang with satisfying food, this is your spot.
Margaritas and tacos and guacamole. Tacos and guacamole and margaritas. Repeat as necessary for a highly successful - and cheap - group dinner at La Superior. You’ll leave ready to conquer the world. Or at least a few bars.
Do you need to trek from Manhattan to Crown Heights for Glady’s? No. But if your crew is in the area, Glady’s is an excellent place for an inexpensive Carribbean feast complete with island vibes aplenty and tasty dark & stormy slushies. Note to all restaurant owners: if you don’t have a slushy on your menu, you’re doing it wrong.

* Q1 pretax profit up underlying 20 pct to 81.4 mln eur
* Combined ratio improves to 97.8 pct
* Reiterates forecast for significant profit gain (Adds quotes and background, market reaction)
VIENNA, May 23 (Reuters) - Austrian insurer Uniqa stuck to its forecast for a significant gain in 2014 profit, noting its business in Ukraine and Russia was growing despite the political crisis between the two countries.
"We have felt no adverse effects on business to date from the current political crisis in Ukraine," Chief Executive Andreas Brandstetter said.
First-quarter group earnings before tax fell 30.3 percent to 81.4 million euros ($111.2 million), but rose by a fifth excluding a gain of 49.1 million euros a year ago from selling hotel assets, the company said on Friday.
Premiums written rose 2.3 percent to 1.70 billion euros.
Profits from Ukraine grew to 3.3 million euros in the first quarter from 2.3 million a year earlier. Russian profits grew to 4.1 million from 2.9 million last year.
Brandstetter said that Uniqa's position in Ukraine remained stable despite the turmoil because most of its business is located in the west, away from conflict hot spots in the east.
"More than 70 percent of our business is in western Ukraine," he said. "We are number two in Ukraine, which is one of our immense growth markets."
Its insurance contracts also exclude damages caused by war, which further shields it from the conflict, he said.
Uniqa's positive outlook for 2014 is contingent on natural disasters remaining in a normal range. It said it could not yet estimate the hit it faced from widespread Balkans flooding, but saw damages in Austria of around 5 million euros.
Brandstetter said there had been relatively few claims so far from Bosnia and Serbia, where the flooding has been particularly acute. Uniqa is the second-largest insurer in Bosnia and fifth-biggest in Serbia.
"There will certainly be a negative impact in these two countries, but I can not yet quantify how much it will be," he said.
Uniqa's combined ratio, a measure of profitability in the property and accident segments, improved to 97.8 percent from 98.3 percent a year earlier.
Uniqa shares gained 1.7 percent to 9.224 euros by 0837 GMT.
Berenberg analyst Sami Taipalus noted that weather had been relatively benign during what is seasonally a difficult quarter, while large losses were stable.
"We continue to like the shares," he said in a note to clients, forecasting 20 percent compounded annual growth in pretax profit from 2013 to 2016, driven by extensive restructuring.

We are very pleased with the quality of this food for our beloved dog. It is just about all that we feed her and she is in excellent condition. It doesn't last in her bowl for long!
My breeder recommended your product for my new Lab puppy and I have been happy with the results. When I went to reorder, I was lucky enough to take advantage of a sale that was on. The online order system and delivery is excellent.
Good quality food, unfortunately my lab puppy doesn't enjoy eating the kibbles.
Had problems with other brands giving our lab puppy diarrhoea. But this one didn't have any side affects at all.
Our now 8 month old choc lab has only ever had this food since we got her from the breeder. She has no extras other than training treats & chews and a small amount of fruit & veg. She is in fantastic condition with a glossy coat, healthy teeth & gums and is not too fat (or too thin). Her growth has been steady and her poos easy to pick up. Although Labs will eat anything and always look hungry this product seems to provide all she needs to be a healthy young dog. It is an expensive premium brand but we feel it is well worth it.
puppy loves it and no diarrhea. excellent price compared to all shops.
good food for my little puppy?ideal food focus on various dog breed
The breeder who sold us our chocolate labrador told us this is the only food she feeds her dogs. Our dog loves the food and paws for life provided a good cheap price for the food and delivery we have already mace out next purchase

Welcome to The Winding Path of Persistence!
I am a writer and former teacher, having worked as both a middle school ESL/Language Arts and high school World Literature teacher in North Philadelphia. I currently reside in South Jersey with my loving, supportive husband Matt, my rainbow miracle Charlie, our Saint Bernard Bailey, and our feisty feline Seraphina. We are currently in a cycle of IVF trying to bring home a sibling for our darling boy. We remain cautiously optimistic.
Following a long struggle with miscarriage, infertility, and several failed cycles, I finally conceived my son via IVF. He joined us in January of 2013, and I have been enamored with and inspired by him ever since. Subsequently, I was fortunate to serve as a Gestational Carrier for another hopeful couple experiencing the devastating pain of infertility, and in October 2015 their beautiful baby girl graced the world with her presence. This June 2017 we will continue our journey with a new cycle of IVF to try and bring home our second child.
A passionate advocate for Women’s Reproductive Rights and Infertility Justice, I continue to serve as a liaison and mentor for women struggling through their own infertility journeys and those providing the amazing gift of surrogacy for families in need.
Presently, I am working on a collection of children’s books and blogging on topics including Civic Engagement, Education, Infertility, Surrogacy, and Motherhood. My writing is inspired daily both by those I love and those I strive not to loathe. I remain forever in search of higher education, a greater purpose, diverse experiences, growing compassion, and a bit of perspective to place it all in context. Thank you for joining this community, and allowing me to share in your journey.
Wishing you all PEACE, LOVE, & BABY DUST.
