According to the first and second articles of the Symbol of the faith concerning the world, made up of constituent parts seen and unseen, numerous, complicated, and infinite in number, we ought to think and believe that it is the work and creation of God, wrought by His will, wisdom, and power, a work coming into existence out of nothing in an orderly succession of time, so that there were ages, or great distances of time, wherein there appeared different beings and the various orderly successions of world-formation.
In the first article that Father is said to be the Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible; according to the second article all things were made through the Son, and without the Son was nothing made that was made. Besides the activity of the Father and the Son there is inseparable the creative activity of the Holy Spirit, through whom the entire existing and living creation is preserved and maintained in life. Therefore the world, composed of innumerable seen and unseen and complicated constituents is the work and creation of the one triune God. Creation is characterized as an accomplished event beyond which nothing preexisted. It began to be in time from the will and the power of God by whom it is governed, preserved, transformed, and altered according to His own deliberation and pleasure. This dogma concerning creation and the dependence of the world upon God the Holy Scripture also speaks into our ears, saying:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” (Gen. 1:1).
“Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places,” (Psa. 135:6).
“By the Logos of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the Spirit of his mouth,” (Psa. 33:6).
“All things were made through the Logos of God; and without him was not anything made that was made,” (John 1:3).
“Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, and they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth,” (Psa. 104:30).
In addition to these passages taken from Holy Scripture we accept concerning one and many worlds the following historical knowledge.
First God made the heaven, or the world of immaterial spirits, which are called angels. This world as pertaining to us is called invisible, because we do not see it through the eyes of our body. It is called intellectual because we know it through the mind and reason. It is also called the spiritual world and angelic because it is made up of spirits and angels. This intellectual, unseen, spiritual and angelic world consists of three hierarchies of which each is made up of three multitudinous orders, each one known also as one heaven. The first and highest hierarchy is composed of three orders of angels, Cherubim, Seraphin, Thrones. The second and middle contains three others named Dominions, Principalities, Powers. The third and last is made up of three others, Governments, Archangels, and Angels.
With the creation of this spiritual world God made also the earth, or matter unseen and unorganized, consisting of fire and water and terrestrial particles, over which the Spirit of God moved and fashioned it, separating it from the angelic world.
But when one of the archangels, called Devil and Satan, with the ranks of his followers, revolted from due obedience to the Lagoa of God, then did God proceed to the creation of the world perceptible and visible to us, which He completed in six days, beginning with light, through which He made the one and first day of the creation, according to the narrative in Genesis: “And God said: Let there be light, and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And the evening and the morning were one day.” (Gen. 1:3-6)
Assuredly this one day was not of equal duration with the solar day known to us, which came afterwards when the sun, moon, and stars appeared. How long this first day of the creation of the perceptible world was is unknown to us. It is only known that the other days were of equal length with that of this first day, and that the six days of the creation of the world perceptible and visible to us are to be conceived as long ages, wherein were done the mighty works of God.
The firmament, or the illimitable space extending over us, appeared on the second day, and was named heaven, appearing in response to this creative command: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters, from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament heaven. And God saw that it was good, and the evening and the morning were the second, day,” (Gen. 1 :6-8).
On the third day God separated the dry land from the waters, and ordained that the plants and trees should spring forth. And so it came to pass, God commanding: “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let dry land appear; and it was so. And the water under the heaven was gathered together unto one place, and the dry land appeared. And God called the dry land earth, and the systems of the waters he called seas. And God saw that it was good. And God said: Let the earth bring forth the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed was in itself upon the earth; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind upon the earth. And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.” (Gen. 1:9-13).
On the fourth day God made the sun and the moon and the stars, saying: “Let there by lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth to divide the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were tb,e fourth day,” (Gen. 1:14-19).
On the fifth day God made the fishes of the sea and the birds of the heaven, saying thus: “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and foul that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And it was so. And God created great monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that they were good. And God blessed them, saying: Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day,” (Gen. 1:20-23).
On the sixth day God also made living creatures on the dry land, saying: “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind. And it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good,” (Gen. 1:24). On this day, atter making the living creatures on the dry land, He made also man, concerning whom we will discuss later what it necessary to be thought and believed.
From this historical narrative and knowledge we learn the succession in the time of the making of the two worlds, the invisible and the visible, and that the Father through the Son and through the Holy Spirit is the Maker of heaven and earth, of all creatures and things made, whether visible or invisible. All created things are dependent on the Creator, who exercises over them absolute lordship and dominion. Such is the thought concerning the world, taught of God and true, a dogma of faith necessary to salvation.


DAVIE — Town officials may name a street after Roger Castillo, a Davie resident and Miami-Dade detective killed in the line of duty in January.
Council members are set to vote on a plan Wednesday that would change the name of Lancelot Court to Roger Castillo Court.
Castillo, 41, lived in Davie with his wife and three sons.
He and Miami-Dade detective Amanda Haworth, of Miramar, were killed on Jan. 20 while trying to arrest a murder suspect in Miami.
The suspect was killed by a third officer during the shootout.
Castillo was a 21-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department.
In town documents, Castillo is described as a "fallen hero" who had talked about becoming a police officer as a boy. He joined the Police Explorers as a teen. As a young officer, he worked hard to move through the ranks and eventually joined special squads like the warrants team, the town's resolution says.

REPORT: ANDREW BYNUM SUSTAINED FURTHER INJURY TO KNEE WHILE BOWLING
ESPN.com is reporting that Bynum, who already had a right knee bone bruise, sustained a similar injury to his left knee while bowling.
A source told ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Chris Broussard that Bynum suffered an undisclosed injury earlier this month while bowling, a sport which the report says Bynum enjoys.
To the tune of millions, apparently. Friday, Bynum addressed reporters concerning a "mirror thing" going on his left knee. He then added that he's suffering from "weakened cartilage" in both joints, yet remains on a timetable similar to the one he released Monday. That means he'd be checked up on Dec. 10 and, assuming he gets the thumbs up, would be OK to pick up basketball activity for the one to four weeks that follow.
Bynum is making $16.5 million this season, the final year of his contract and his first with the Sixers. He's due to make much more than that in the offseason, too, assuming he can demonstrate to an employer at some point that he can return to the court. He hasn't played since May 21, in a Western Conference semifinal for the Los Angeles Lakers.
While it wouldn't seem prudent for the Sixers to offer Bynum a maximum deal, the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent could garner max deals if he was to hit the market. Finding a franchise-altering center -- even one with chronically injured knees -- is never easy. It was difficult enough to make the Sixers get involved with that four-team deal back in August, the one in which they cast off Andre Iguodala for a swing at Bynum.
Friday, Sixers general manager Tony DiLeo reiterated what has been a longstanding belief shared by he and the ownership team: Locking up Bynum long-term is essential. It's fair to assume DiLeo knew about Bynum and the nature of his injury (the bowling, that is) when he said this before Friday's game against Utah:
“Plain and simple, we’re trying to rehab his knees so they’re healthy enough to have him play, like he did last season. That’s our goal. And when he’s ready, and it’s hard to predict when he’ll be ready, but hopefully sooner than later. Main concern is Andrew’s health. Main concern is big picture. We want to have a long relationship with him. That’s why we’re doing this.”

Cincinnati Bengals Likely Focusing on Defense in 2013 NFL Draft
Defensive end, linebacker and defensive back are the three positions being used most often when referring to the Cincinnati Bengals‘ focus heading into the 2013 NFL Draft. The Bengals’ defense ranked sixth in the NFL last year in total yards allowed per game, but that could change in 2013 if Cincinnati doesn’t bring in some defensive help.
The Bengals have several defensive players at the positions mentioned above whose contracts are expiring this offseason:
CB Nate Clements
FS Chris Crocker
DE Robert Geathers
DE Wallace Gilberry
LB Thomas Howard
DE Michael Johnson
CB Adam “Pacman” Jones
LB Manny Lawson
LB Rey Maualuga
CB Terence Newman
LB Dan Skuta
After look at that list, it’s easy to see why most 2013 NFL mock drafts have the Bengals selecting players at these positions in two to three of the four rounds this year. Specifically, the Bengals have been linked to players like Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o (shocking, we know; the Bengals are related to a defensive player with baggage), Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree and LSU defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery.
Assuming Te’o doesn’t try to tackle imaginary ball carries, all four of these players would be solid options for the Bengals on the first two days of the 2013 NFL Draft. Of course, there are no guarantees in the draft, so let the guessing game begin as to which player the Bengals will actually take with the 21st overall pick.

The Lost Spirit: One Step at a Time
A/N: MWAHAHAHA I'm back for the delivery of the next chapter! ^^ Heehee this week has been really flu-ful and yeah… *sniff sniff* my nose has been annoyingly explosive! So… I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter! :3
Haku: *Takes off shirt*
Chihiro: Oh no, you don't! At least let me get out of here before you start changing!
Haku: I know you're just dying to see. *smirks*
Chihiro: No! You pervert! I'm not interested in looking at your yummy abs or-
Haku: Go on, I like what you're saying.
Chihiro: *blushes* I'm out of here.
(A/N: I think I like this dialogue HAHAHA.)
"Tell me," I panted, "how does running help… in any…way?" Haku turned around, his sweat making his skin glisten beautifully. I averted my eyes, feeling myself begin to blush. "It doesn't," he replied simply, smirking at me. After running so many rounds, he didn't seem tired at all, other than a slightly faster rate of breathing. At his words, I snapped up and almost punched him. "You mean, you made me run so much, for nothing?!"
Haku shrugged. "It's not for nothing, Chihiro. It can help you lose some wei- Hey! Don't hit me!" I noticed the water that was already surging out my palms, about to hit him. Instinctively, I tried to stop it, and it slowed down a little, but went ahead towards Haku anyway. He sighed, commanding the water to stop just before it could touch him, and it dissipated into the air immediately.
I gawked at him. "How did you do that?"
He flashed me a grin. "Takes practice. And that's what you're going to do."
I sighed. I was never really one for listening to boring lectures… "Don't give up on me now, Chihiro. Focus." Haku's hand landed on my head and spun my head towards his, bringing our faces a mere few centimeters apart. I felt my cheeks redden and pulled back fiercely. He smirked. "Clear your head and listen to me, Chihiro. If not you'll end up attacking people you don't know if you can't control yourself."
Sighing exaggeratedly, I exhibited a get-on-with-it look, causing him to chuckle deeply. "Okay, so let's get started. What's water to you?"
I frowned. "Are you serious? You're going to go all psychologist on me now?" He rolled his eyes, annoyed. "Just do as I say, Chihiro. The faster you get this done, the faster you can try fighting me." At that, my eyes lit up in anticipation. Boy, it would be fun thrashing him at his own game. "So?" his eyebrow cocked up. "What?" I asked, confused. "My earlier question..?"
"Oh, um, I… don't know…" I fiddled awkwardly with my fingers. I didn't exactly want to think about water. "It's hard, I know. So what is it?" Haku's voice had softened. Sadness, grief and anger started to overwhelm me at once, images flooding my mind. "…I hate it…" I muttered. When Haku remained silent, I decided he was fine with dropping the topic. "Can we move on?" I whispered emotionlessly. Clearing his throat, he nodded. "Alright. So anyway, I'll need to see what kind of a magic user you are. Hold out your palm." Hesitantly, I opened my palm.
"Make water levitate above it."
Confused, I did as told. Fixating my eyes on my open hand, I imagined water flowing through my arms, giving me a thrilling sensation that sent tingles down my arm. It felt as if water was flowing through it at lightning speed, and in no time, water sprung out of my hand as gracefully as I could possibly muster. Haku nodded approvingly and I stopped. "Tell me, how did you do that?" His tone was now that of a professional coach. "I just imagined water flowing, and there it went," I stated just as formally.
A tiny smile formed on his lips. "Ahh… I see now." I frowned as he continued mumbling to himself like some old man with dra-mentia. Heh, see what I did there? Dra-mentia… Never mind. "Um, earth to Haku? I'm still here. So what about it?"
"There're different types of magic users in the Spirit World. You know how there are visual, auditory, kinesthetic and read/write learners as you put it in the human world?"
I nodded apprehensively. "So, what kind of magic user am I?"
"Apart from those 4, there's another category for magic users. You're a feeling magic user, but I think you're a visual magic user too," he smiled, making gestures as if they could magically make me understand everything he'd just said.
"So I'm a feeling-cum-visual magic user… What's a feeling magic user?"
He let out a small sigh as if I'd just asked a stupid question. "I use my feelings when I'm using magic?" I checked, to which he nodded. And here I was thinking it was some complicated stuff. "Alright, so your powers work in the way you visualize it to be, but it also works depending on your mood. I'm not sure about how your mood and magic works, so we'll just have to try. But for now, imagine getting that… squirrel over there wet."
I followed his index finger to an adorable squirrel that was nibbling contentedly on its new-found nut a distance away near a tree. "You want me to bother that little thing? No thanks. It just might find me and start clawing my eyes out or something."
"Actually, it'll bite you eyes out." I shot Haku a dirty look and he held up his hands in a what-did-I-do pose. He grinned and shifted his index finger to point at a tree nearby. "Shoot some water towards it."
Holding out my right palm, it faced the tree and I closed my eyes, imagining water splashing roughly against it. My ears perked up at the sound of splashing water and slowly my eyes opened to the sight of wave-like waters surrounding the bottom of the tree. I smiled, satisfied with my work, but all too soon, it dropped while my feet planted themselves firmly onto the ground. The same images flooded my mind again.
Mom and Dad falling into the water, the waves splashing mercilessly and relentlessly onto the vulnerable sand on shore while they screamed in terror.
"Chihiro! Chihiro, snap out of it!" A rough shaking of my shoulders snapped me out of my thoughts. Lips quivering, I looked up to see Haku holding my hand. Dumbfounded, I looked to see the water gone. Staring at him questioningly, words formed at the tip of my tongue but they wouldn't come out. "That's enough for the day. You're tired, Chihiro. You'll get tired easily when you first use magic. Come, I'll carry you back."
Without complaint, I remained stiff as he picked me up wordlessly, heading back to the cottage. He pressed my head against his brick-hard chest, muttering words I couldn't make out; nothing was on my mind at the moment. Suddenly feeling exhausted, drowsiness washed over me and I soon found my eyelids falling at a slow and steady pace, with only the sound of crashing waves filling my head.
"Go on," Haku coaxed gently. I swallowed the lump in my throat and took a few deep breaths to steady myself. Running through my fingertips on the hard, cold wood, I could hear voices on the other end having just another usual conversation. I took a step back, my heels ready to take a sprint out of the hall, but Haku held on stubbornly to me, rendering me incapable of even budging. "It's alright. Just go, Chihiro."
My heart beat quickly as I watched Haku make 3 light knocks on the polished door. "Come in," the sweet, motherly voice came. Knowing there was no escape for me, I plucked up whatever courage I did not possess and stepped into the brightly illuminated room with the help of warm sunrays, though they quickly turned into fireballs when the air turned cold in an instant. "I'll leave you 3 alone, then." Haku quietly excused himself and left the room, my heart sinking upon hearing the silent 'click' of the door closing.
Mom looked away and pretended to continue with her knitting while Dad pretended to ignore me and continued polishing his rod. After a few seconds of fidgeting about uncomfortably, I cleared my throat.
"M-Mom, Dad," I started slowly, at the same time noticing they had not bothered to change their stances. "I'm sorry…" I whispered softly. They acted as if they hadn't heard a thing.
My chest constricted as hurt crept into me, seeing that they were still bent on feigning ignorance. It was the same feeling from 4 years ago.
A part of me was angry because they were not even bothering to acknowledge my presence, nor did they care to consider my apology… but then again, who was I to get angry? They had every right to be mad at me; I caused their deaths, I caused them worry; all I've been was a burden to them. Honestly, I didn't think I was a good daughter to even begin with. And yet, here I was getting angry because they wouldn't forgive me. It wasn't as if they were obliged to do so anyway. "At least apologize, Chihiro. They'll forgive you," Haku had persuaded. I silently scoffed as a wet tear slid down my cheek.
Without a warning, I squeaked in surprise when I found myself in Dad's arms. "You're a good girl, Chihiro…" he murmured, ruffling my hair gently. It felt as if I'd just gulped down 5 full cups of warm honey, and all the warmness was filling me whole, instigating more tears to spill. They felt warm against my cheeks before seeping into his shirt. I heard Mom get off her chair and as expected, Dad released me, allowing me and Mom some hugging time as well. I squeezed her back, feeling my shoulder begin to get a little damp where her chin rested.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered and she nodded lovingly in response, her hands rubbing my back soothingly as both of us sniffed at the same time. I let out a short breath of laughter and she did the same. "We want to clear one thing up with you though, young lady."
Wiping away my tears, they placed each of their hands placed atop mine. "You're not responsible for our deaths."
And they watched as I sucked in a sharp breath. "But-" I started to protest.
"No 'buts', missy. You," Dad poked his index finger at my forehead, "are not responsible. Everything was an accident." I was about to protest further when Mom took over. "Chihiro, sweetie, it was an accident no one wanted. Do you understand that?" I nodded slowly. "Besides, if we never died, then all these would not have happened; we would not have met all these wonderful people, and you wouldn't have met Haku again, would you?"
"Zeniba and Haku have told us everything already," Dad cut in before I could ask. I hunched and leaned back slightly, thinking. It was true that perhaps I would never have returned to this place to be with Haku, or if I did, wouldn't have been able to stay that way since we were 2 completely different beings from 2 completely different worlds. "All things happen for a reason; maybe you won't like it at first, but later, you'll find that everything worked out accordingly for the best," Mom concluded wisely.
Deciding to bring out the white flags, I got up. "Okay, I got it, Mom, Dad. Thanks." I smiled a genuine smile. "Let it go, Chihiro. Promise us that?" Mom pleaded. After hesitating for a moment, I closed my eyes and felt the lock on my heart slowly, yet surely starting to release its holds.
"Come on, Chihiro," Haku dragged me forcefully by the legs while I stubbornly resisted by grabbing tightly onto the door. "I'm too tired! Let me sleep a while more!" I whined, trying my best puppy-dog look, which didn't work… as usual. Dang, I really needed to work on it. "It's already been 4 days since the last training session, and you need to practice!"
"Ah!" I shouted when he finally succeeded. He then flung me over his shoulder and started for our training spot with extraordinary speed. The wind had fun messing up my already tangled hair strands, and when we finally reached our destination, I was sure I looked like a ghost. Scrambling off of Haku, I ran off behind a tree to arrange my hair, embarrassed of letting him see me in such an unattractive manner.
After finger-combing my hair for a few minutes, I ran back to Haku who was folding his arms and tapping his feet impatiently. "Finally!" he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Let's get to work. We'll start with meditating first. Come." He knelt on the grass, cuing me to follow suit. I knelt, irked by the wet stuff surrounding my kneecaps. Imitating him was kind of interesting, but annoying at the same time. I couldn't get anything right, which earned me a lot of scolding and fixing of my limbs' positions. "There we go. All set. Now, just breathe in deeply, and imagine water flowing through your body. Concentrate and focus on the element that bines you and your magical being together."
Nodding seriously, my eyelids shut close and after maintaining my 'peace', visualized water flowing through every vein of my being. 'Connect, connect, connect…' I chanted in my head. Focusing all of my mental energy on it, drops of water appeared in my vision, before slowly increasing into streams of water flowing throughout my body. I felt my entire being gain energy, yet it wasn't only my physical being; it was as if… there was someone or something else… hidden within…
"You know… if you're done, you can stop." Haku's voice broke my trance effectively, and I blinked in question. "How long have I been doing that?"
"15 minutes. Not bad for a first-timer… I guess you've much more potential than I thought you'd have. Then again, I underestimate you too much," he replied, getting up.
Getting up, I dusted off the dirt on my legs and clothes. "Okay, try getting me wet, Chihiro," he challenged with a wide grin on his face. My grin was probably being reflected as well, as the thought of managing to hit him intentionally appealed greatly. He backpedaled a distance away and nodded as the cue to start. Staring at my palms, 2 balls of water surfaced and using all my arm strength, I threw them at Haku. He dodged them easily, much to my disappointment, and they ended up splashing sadly against the grass.
Trying it again and again proved unsuccessful. It all failed, and I was starting to get annoyed. Haku had such a wide smirk on his face I really wanted to hit him. "Is that all you got?" he shouted back. I scowled fiercely and looked away, soaking in my frustration. Just as I was about to come up with more water balls though, I was suddenly hit by a large amount of water. Shocked, I glanced up at Haku with big eyes who laughed deeply in return. Feeling the water seep into my underwear was really uncomfortable; getting wet was never something I could tolerate easily.
That did it. Gritting my teeth, I looked at the ground Haku was standing on and continued even more determinedly as I felt my powers working. Since he would probably be able to feel it soon, I had to hurry. "Aww, Chihiro, don't be mad. I was just-"
He was cut off when gusts of water burst from the ground beneath him, too fast for him to react in the slightest. My scowl turned into a smirk as I watched the flustered boy attempt to regain his balance, now soaking wet as I stopped the flow of water. "Not bad…" he commented, trudging over to me. The sound of his squeaking sandals made me giggle over my victory. "That was a trick I took a while to discover, Chihiro. How did you know?"
I grinned. "Groundwater. If I'm not wrong, I studied a lot."
He nodded approvingly. "Well, for one thing, obviously anger and frustration makes you even more powerful. I'm not sure about other emotions, but I guess we'll just leave it for another day. You should be getting tired by now after that blast you pulled." True enough, my shoulders sagged and I stretched my neck that was starting to ache. Smiling, we headed back.
"By the way, Chihiro, do you practice a lot? That was a good one for your level."
"I'm just naturally skillful, I guess."
He snorted. "Narcissist."
"Aww, you make it sound like it's a bad thing," I fake pouted, then grinned when he rolled his eyes.
A/N: Well… just in case you didn't notice, the last bit of conversation was from parts of their 'playtimes' together in previous chapters. Thank you guys for all of your lovely reviews! They really made my day! Heehee a million thanks to you guys who reviewed the previous chapter:

We all like to pretend we are experts at picking award show winners, but looking at past Grammy choices, it’s clear that the Grammys’ unpredictability remains a very real feature of the institution. From Beck’s Album of the Year last year to recent hauls from Bon Iver and Arcade Fire, there have been many times when the Grammys have thrown us for a loop, both for good and for bad.
That said, the unpredictability tends to work in the favor of white artists, rock and pop artists, and uncontroversial choices. Sure, it is great that Grammy nominations, unlike acting awards shows, don’t raise as many issues about under-representation, but that doesn’t always carry all the way through to who wins Grammys. With Kendrick Lamar nominated for 11 awards this year, the bulk of which are for his landmark To Pimp a Butterfly (which already saw track “i” win two awards last year), the Grammy voters have a prime opportunity to not only award a deserving artist who isn’t safe or easy, but one who is also a departure from their whitewashing tendencies.
Should the night not go Lamar’s way, that would likely mean good things not only for The Weeknd and Taylor Swift, but also for thinkpiece writers across the media lands. Essentially, the best thing for the Grammys to do in 2016 is be predictable, to surprise no one and reward the most deserving artist. We’ll have to wait until Monday, February 15th to see what happens (and to see an intense slate of performances including Swift, Lamar, Adele, Lady Gaga saluting David Bowie, and Rihanna), but for now, check out the Consequence of Sound staff’s choices for who should win and who will win at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
Best Music Film
Who should win: Amy Winehouse – Amy
Who will win: Amy Winehouse – Amy
This year’s Best Music Film category is a two-horse race between iconic R&B singers from different eras. Amy and What Happened, Miss Nina Simone? both draw on unreleased archival footage to create a picture of a remarkably talented, remarkably troubled woman, and both succeed in doing so. What Happened, Miss Simone? is far more conventional and feels more cursory than its counterpart, scratching the surface of Nina Simone’s story without diving too deeply into its darker recesses. Asif Kapadia’s Amy, on the other hand, takes us inside Amy Winehouse’s personal life in a way that feels almost invasive. We’re meant to understand this invasion as a symptom of the way we consume media and to share blame for participating in the culture that perpetrated Winehouse’s death. This film is much more than a documentary; it’s an indictment of the way we view and treat celebrity in the 21st century. –Collin Brennan
Best Music Video
Who should win: Kendrick Lamar – “Alright”
Who will win: Taylor Swift featuring Kendrick Lamar – “Bad Blood”
Kendrick Lamar figures to be a winner in the Best Music Video category – but will it be for “Alright” or tangentially as a guest in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood”? Swift’s kinetic clip bludgeons you with sheer star power (Selena Gomez! Ellie Goulding! Cara Delevingne!) and nods to tons of action-flick tropes. Her video would be the flashy and popular choice (like last year’s winner, “Happy”), but Lamar’s video has its merits as well. Our top music video of 2015, “Alright” features so many striking visuals: Lamar jams with the Black Hippy crew in a car, with the camera quickly panning out to show they’re being carried by cops. The silhouetted emcee is shot off a light pole with sprawling views of LA in the background. The video has its grim moments of police brutality and urban decay, but with K. Dot flying through the city, it manages to encapsulate a vision that’s simultaneously stark, beautiful, and surreal. –Killian Young
Best Song Written For Visual Media
Who should win: Common and John Legend – “Glory”
Who will win: Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth – “See You Again”
Two bona fide hits from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack made it to the final list of contenders, but they’ll likely be overshadowed by the trio of heavy-handed ballads they’re up against. It’s true that there’s no runaway favorite like Frozen’s “Let It Go” from last year, but there’s still plenty here to tug at the heartstrings. In fact, somber seems to be the dominant note in the category this year, with Lady Gaga’s anti-rape PSA “Til It Happens to You” up against Oscar tearjerker “Glory” and Wiz Khalifa’s not very fast, not very furious tribute to the late Paul Walker. All of the above tracks have their merits, but none conveys its message as forcefully and as movingly as “Glory”. “See You Again” is cloying, sentimental, and somehow up for Song of the Year, so with that in mind, it’s probably going to win. –Collin Brennan
Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media
Antonio Sanchez – Birdman
Alexandre Desplat – The Imitation Game
Hans Zimmer – Interstellar
Jóhann Jóhannsson – The Theory of Everything
Justin Hurwitz – Whiplash
Who should win: Hans Zimmer – Interstellar
Who will win: Antonio Sanchez – Birdman
“Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media” is a bit of a novelty category, if only because each year it celebrates the scores to films that were in consideration for the previous Oscars. Now almost a year later, we’re still talking about Birdman, Interstellar, and Whiplash. Okay, so what about Alexandre Desplat and his score for The Grand Budapest Hotel ? After all, it won the Oscar, and now it’s not even nominated?! Well … no. It won last year’s Grammy in the category because the film came out in March of 2014. Yeah, it’s confusing.
What we can glean from the Oscars is that Birdman won Best Picture, making Antonio Sanchez’s percussion-heavy, jazzy score the probable winner for this year’s Grammy. For my money, you can’t do better than what Hans Zimmer did with Interstellar, imparting profound emotion over a complex and sometimes fractured film, with his seemingly never-ending supply of unique, mesmerizing compositions. Give this man more awards! –Zack Ruskin

Teaching our Children to be Leaders
Teaching Children to Become Leaders
At St. Michael’s, we are developing a programme of children as leaders. Throughout the school, there are opportunities for children to practise these skills.
School council members are voted in, after explaining to the class why they would be a good councillor (linked to our British Values) by the class and attend meetings each week with Mrs Clark and the Headteacher. Last year, the children were asked to lead CLFs (Class Learning Forums) asking other children in the class to use our school values of ENRICH to help identify what that should look like within our school community.
Here is an example of a speech written by a Year 6 pupil:
I promise to do my best to be a role model to many. I will help people, to let them know that they should help others. I will do my best in and out of our school. These promises shall be met because my passion for this school is immense. I believe in the pupils, parents and the teachers. I promise to give people hope, integrity and the nurture that everyone deserves.
At the start of Year 6, teachers, and members of the school’s SLT decide who should be the representatives of the school. We have four houses: yellow, blue, green and red. There are two house captains for each colour. These children lead tours around the school; assemblies in their house colours and are responsible for the collection and announcements of team points every two weeks.
The ethos team meet once every half term with Mrs Sowden and some parents from our school community. Within these meetings, children are responsible for articulating and explaining to the parents their understanding of the school vision and how it is expressed in the day-to-day life of the school. The children make suggestions and put actions into place to further develop this.
The Ethos team also represent the school during Remembrance Day services at the cemetery.
The Eco team is led by Mrs Rixon. The children meet regularly with her and have worked with Devon Wildlife Trust in the past couple of years to improve our environment. They also take part in the ‘Great Big School Clean’ where they pledge to collect a certain amount of bags of rubbish. They involve their peers in this and share how recycling can help the planet.
Peer mediators in Year 6 are trained by Mrs Heagarty in the Autumn term. Within these sessions, children are taught how to resolve conflict between younger children and help them to make friends again. The children are encouraged to seek adult support if a situation arises which they can’t resolve.
Mr Upston delivers training to the whole of Year 6 in September and then children are asked to sign up to work as sports’ leaders supporting Years 1,2,3 and 4 at lunchtimes playing games and demonstrating teamwork and cooperation.
Each year group has the responsibility of creating and delivering an assembly for special occasions throughout the Year. For example, Year 6 led the Platinum Jubilee celebrations by learning a Linde hop dance; finding out historical facts about the Queen and placing them on a timeline.

Plant family: Scrophulariaceae - Figwort
Plant type: Shrub
Plant origin: N/A, California, Horticultural Selection
Chaparral, Coastal Sage Scrub, Horticultural Selection
Clay, Decomposed Granite, Adaptable
Good in Containers, Tolerant of Clay Soil
Trish Monkeyflower is a cultivar of the Bush Monkeyflower (Diplacus aurantiacus), a small 1 to 2 foot high shrub with a 2 to 3 foot spread. The foliage is deep green with a slightly sticky feel. The Trish variety sports profuse dusky rose-pink flowers that fade to salmon. These plants flower in early spring inland and can bloom almost year-round on the coast, especially if you take the time to deadhead and encourage more flowering. Best in sun on the coast and in part shade inland where drainage is good and summer water is provided sparingly. It is a favorite for both hummingbirds and butterflies.
Please share your thoughts with us about this plant. We would like to hear about
the good things and the problems. We also would appreciate seeing any photos and
have you rate this plant. To leave comments or to rate a plant you must be registered.

The public library, due to its availability and its resources, is one of the ways into reading most valued by immigrants according to a study carried out in Madrid by Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez
. The organisation set itself the task of identifying the meaning of reading for an immigrant and exploring the immigrant’s personal perceptions of the reader, in both his previous and present surroundings.
The initiative has been supported by the Ministry of Culture and centred on people from the countries that have most immigrants in the Spanish capital. In Madrid these people are Eastern Europeans from Rumania, Ukraine and Bulagria, Chinese citizens, Latin Americans particularly from Ecuador, Bolivia, Perú and Colombia, and Moroccans.
The foundations of this study are tightly linked with the work of Fundación GSR concerning the promotion of reading and the need to establish an initial frame of reading knowledge of the immigrant population, specifically in Madrid. The study also investigates the new citizen’s relation to reading in all its different formats.
The complete study is available in the pdf file below.

Specifically, 100 planets like Earth: worlds of similar size, with a rocky surface, in the habitable zone, probably holding water, and orbiting a star like our Sun.
“That's the game plan," says Debra Fischer, Yale astronomy professor. "To scoop up a big pile of those types of planets."
There’s one more requirement. The planetary system should be close by—about 60 light years or less.
“Our next door neighbors,” says Fischer. “You could go out in your backyard, look up, and see their stars.”
Although astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets—so far NASA has verified more than 3,700—so-called Earth analogues are elusive.
“Very elusive,” says Fischer. Scientists have pinpointed a few possibilities, most hundreds or thousands of light years away, but all remain unconfirmed.
Yet among the potential worlds out there, analogues are the most intriguing—for the obvious reason.
“They are good candidates for life,” says Fischer. “Good petri dishes for biology to get started.”
With that in mind, Fischer’s team at Yale—professors, researchers, postdocs, grads and undergrads—built EXPRES, the Extreme Precision Spectrometer.
“My dream machine,” she says.
Now integrated with the Lowell Observatory Discovery Channel Telescope in Flagstaff, Arizona, EXPRES lets astronomers measure the tiniest of wobbles from a target star.
Those wobbles—caused by gravitational tugs from something nearby—“suggest the presence of a planet,” says Fischer.
Tugs from relatively small worlds, like Earth analogues, are so minuscule they’re particularly difficult to detect. But EXPRES boasts ten times the precision of earlier-generation spectrometers.
“It’s a big leap forward in providing extremely high-fidelity data,” says Fischer.
Which is why Yale scientists expect discoveries right away.
“We’re going to find a lot,” Fischer says. “By the end of this year, we’ll have some really interesting results.”
No one knows how many—if any—analogues have life, whether simple or smart.
But Fischer’s willing to go this far: “The percentage for microbial life could be relatively high. It could be 20 percent. It could be 50 percent.”
Finding another example of life elsewhere—even a glob of alien bacteria from someplace trillions of miles away—would stun the world.
“Everyone,” says Fischer, “would be blown away.”

Guardians of the Galaxy rocketed into Comic-Con International in San Diego over the weekend, even if the actual Rocket Raccoon was nowhere in sight. But that won't be the case for long, according to director James Gunn.
He tells Crave Online to expect a casting announcement regarding Rocket and his tree-sized pal Groot very, very soon. "Tomorrow, next week-ish," is his estimate, an answer given after receiving the nod of approval from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
Gunn's affection for Rocket is well-documented, and he further spoke about his plans for the gun-toting raccoon during a Comic-Con interview with MTV.
"It's not about creating Bugs Bunny in the middle of The Avengers," he said. "This is about creating a character that's a little animal that was taken and experimented on and pulled apart and put back together again and implanted with cybernetics and he's half-machine and half-raccoon. And he's a gnarled, miserable, pretty-angry creature because there's nothing else like him. And that's not easy to be."
Beyond Rocket and Groot, Gunn confirmed the appearance of yet another Marvel icon in Guardians: Thanos. The Mad Titan is very much a part of his movie, according to the filmmaker, even if a casting announcement might not be imminent.
"Thanos is the thing connecting us to the rest of the Marvel Universe at this point," he told Crave. "And in the future we'll see what happens after this, but for right now, we're connected to the rest of the Marvel Universe because we're resetting to the end of The Avengers."
Opening Aug. 1, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer; Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser; Michael Rooker as Yondu; Karen Gillan as Nebula; Djimon Hounsou as Korath; Benicio del Toro as The Collector; John C. Reilly as Rhomann Dey; and Glenn Close as Nova Prime.

Los Angeles Boudoir Photography | Dawn
Last fall I met with Dawn at Starbucks, and when she walked in I knew I liked her. I was wearing a pink, purple and white dress that day and she had the EXACT same colors on her outfit as well. It was like, “Holla! Girl, you are super fierce, we will definitely work well together!” And so we hit it off immediately and she booked me on the spot 😉 But the boudoir session wasn’t going to be until it was closer to her wedding– nearly 6 months away!! So I patiently waited. Dawn was so very supportive & sweet in the meantime. She left awesome blog comments, or would even email me just to say hey or compliment me on a new aspect of the business! 🙂 I love it!
So what I am saying is I have loved this girl for quite some time now and had been anxiously awaiting our boudoir session! Then the day was finally here and things were even better than I could have imagined. Dawn brought a TON of adorable outfits and accessories and props!!! That makes me very happy and I always encourage my clients to do this! It just adds so much polish to a session 😉 Then Dawn even had her hair stylist come and hang out, change up her hair and even act as a wardrobe consultant! 😉 AMAZING! I felt like we were on a shoot for Vogue or something! So needless to say this shoot was awesome in every single way!
Thank you soooo much Dawn for all your support & encouragement over the last year! And thank you for rocking it and being fabulous and trusting me to take these very special pictures! I know your man is gonna FLIP when he sees them!! 🙂
I also wanna give a shout out to Rubi for doing Dawn’s make up! And Randi for doing hair & styling!!!
How cute & stylish is this birdcage veil?!!!!! AMAZING!!
Sasha Fierce watch out!! 😉

Lilly says generic competition hurts fourth-quarter profit, sales
(Reuters) - Eli Lilly and Co (LLY.N: Quote) said on Tuesday that fourth-quarter profit fell as competition from generic drugs, particularly for its once top-selling schizophrenia drug Zyprexa, drove revenue lower.
The U.S. drugmaker earned $827 million, or 74 cents per share, down from $858 million, or 77 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding special items such as asset impairments and restructuring, Lilly earned 85 cents per share, beating analysts' expectations by 7 cents per share.
The better-than-expected results were due to cost controls as well as strong sales of key drugs, such as lung cancer treatment Alimta and antidepressant Cymbalta, Lilly spokesman Ed Sagabiel said.
Revenue dropped by about 1 percent to $5.96 billion, but were above Wall Street expectations of $5.81 billion.
Zyprexa, now facing generic competition, saw sales slide 49 percent to $385 million from $750 million a year earlier. The company said the sharp drop was partly offset by gains in sales of other drugs and its animal health products.
Lilly forecast earning would increase this year by 13 percent to 17 percent to $3.82 to $3.97 per share, excluding special items, due to cost controls.
Profit will benefit by 7 cents per share due to a research and development tax credit that was delayed until this year due to the late signing of federal legislation.
On January 4 the company forecast earnings of $3.75 to $3.90 per share, but that did not include the tax benefit. Continued...


In what may be a sign of growing political sensitivity over AC Transit’s controversial relationship with the Belgian-based bus manufacturing company Van Hool, transit directors last week failed to approve a request by AC Transit General Manager Rick Fernandez for a no-bid contract to purchase 19 60-foot, articulated Van Hool buses.
The vote was 3-3 at the May 14 meeting. Directors Elsa Ortiz (Ward 3-Alameda and portions of Oakland and San Leandro), Greg Harper (Ward 2-Emeryville, Piedmont, and portions of Oakland and Berkeley), and Rocky Fernandez (Ward 4-Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Ashland, and portions of San Leandro and Hayward) voted no; board president Chris Peeples (At Large) and directors Joe Wallace (Ward 1-El Sobrante, San Pablo, Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, and Kensington and a portion of Berkeley) and Jeff Davis (Ward 5-Fremont, Newark, and a portion of Hayward) voted yes.
Board Vice President Rebecca Kaplan (At Large), a candidate in the June 3 election for the Oakland City Council At Large seat, left the board meeting early and did not vote.
Board members asked that the purchase request be placed on the May 28 board meeting agenda so that it could be considered again with the full board present.
The decision came a little more than a week before AC Transit’s May 21 hearing on a proposed new across-the-board fare increase, held at 4 p.m. at Oakland City Hall.
AC Transit’s policy of replacing a large percentage of its current bus fleet—made by a variety of manufacturers—with Van Hools has come under criticism from a coalition of drivers and riders, many of whom complain that the ride on the Van Hools does not compare favorably with buses manufactured by other companies.
At Wednesday’s meeting, General Manager Fernandez said that in order to meet the board’s Fleet Compensation Plan goal of 101 60-foot, articulated buses (two section buses joined by an accordion-style mid-section), he was requesting that the district retire 30 12-year-old buses manufactured by the New Flyer corporation and in their place purchase the 19 Van Hools.
“As a result of this recommended procurement,” Fernandez wrote in his memo advising the board, “the district’s entire articulated fleet will be from one bus manufacturer,” meaning Van Hool.
The 60-foot, articulated buses are expected to be the backbone of AC Transit’s proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, which the district wants to run in set-aside middle-of-the-road bus lanes down East 14th Street, International Boulevard, and Telegraph Avenue between either Hayward or San Leandro and the southern edge of the UC Berkeley campus.
The 60-foot, articulated bus swap was a separate proposal from the district’s earlier approved purchase of 60 modified 40-foot Van Hool buses, swapping them for buses made by the North American Bus Institute (NABI) that the district is retiring five years early. The prototype for the modified 40-footers is expected to be delivered to the district next month.

Today I'm sadly proud to announce a new "One-Minute Moron" awardee. This one is special because it's our first e-moron.
The recipient is Neal Patterson, chief executive of Cerner Corp. Did you hear about this guy? He's the one who sent an e-mail to all his managers whining that the company's "parking lot is sparsely used at 8 a.m.; likewise at 5 p.m." He wrote: "Never in my career have I allowed a team which worked for me to think they had a 40-hour job. I have allowed you to create a culture which is permitting this. No longer."
Patterson decreed that the parking lot was to be "substantially full at 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m." and "half full on Saturday mornings." He told his managers to fix the problem or "I will replace you," closing with a stylish, Edgar Allan Poe touch, "You have two weeks. Tick, tock."
This was meant to be an internal memo, but here in the Global Village such a deliciously dreadful e-mail has wings. And what was the public reaction when the memo was posted on the Internet? The stock price lost a quarter of its value within weeks, bottoming out in April. It has since recovered, as toadying stock analysts have reaffirmed their buy recommendations, but, as I write, it remains well off its year high.
The drop in stock price is what makes this so interesting a case. A decade ago, "tough" management was considered an asset, so much so that a nickname like "Chainsaw" was embraced. Executives would criticize their employees and threaten layoffs, and the stock went up. But Patterson was spanked by the stock market. If Patterson had a nickname, what would it be? Not something worthy of the WWF, like "Chainsaw"; I'm thinking Neal "The Parking Meter" Patterson has a nice flow. Tick, tock.
Let's stop a minute and understand the stock market's reaction. Investors reading The Parking Meter's memo had a choice, to either believe the CEO or not. Believing him might well have created a mental picture of a layabout, work-avoiding staff, perhaps reminiscent of Dennis Miller describing the work pace of the employees of the DMV--"an underwater Tai Chi class."
On the other hand, if readers of the memo didn't believe him, then where is he? The best you could conclude was that he was the guy who hired the slugs who hired the layabouts.
But I like to think there is a larger significance to the stock market's reaction: At least for an instant in time, civility has won. The larger culture has understood what some executives have not: Tell employees that they are lazy, and they either believe you or they don't, and either way you lose. The worst employees believe you and sink into despair; the best employees prove you wrong by redoubling their efforts--at finding a new job. Classic lose/lose: morale and your best employees.
If people avoid the office, a wise CEO doesn't ask, "What's wrong with them?" but "What's wrong with me?" Based on his memo, I'm guessing that in The Parking Meter's case, employees are unmotivated to work long hours because they know that upper management is going to take all the credit anyway. Patterson can make people be there for long hours--or at least their cars--but that doesn't mean they will do any more work; in fact, the more hours they put in, the lower the output and quality of work per hour.
By making people work more hours, Patterson will have succeeded in making the jobs worse, which eventually means he will have to pay more to fill them. The hours-worked approach is like buying books based on length, assuming that a 400-page book is twice as useful as a 200-page book. No, you just pay more.
A wise executive understands that the challenge is getting employees to be more productive--how to make the day better, not just longer; to create such an engaging environment that it makes the clock itself seem to be working faster. Tick, tock.

The A5 introduced a wedge-shaped spaced add-on armour to the turret front and sides. Though its main function is to defeat a hollow charge attack, the spaced armour is also designed to affect kinetic-energy penetrators by forcing them to change direction and by eroding them in the process; it does not form a shot-trap since it doesn't deflect the penetrators outwards to hit the hull or turret ring. The gun mantle was redesigned to accept the new armour. There were also some improvements in the main armour composition. Tank interior received spall liners to reduce fragments if the armour is penetrated. Side skirts were replaced with a new type. The commander's sight was moved to a new position behind his hatch and it received an independent thermal channel. The gunner's sight was moved to the turret roof as opposed to the cavity in the front armour in previous models. A new heavier sliding driver's hatch was fitted. Turret controls went all-electric, increasing reliability and crew safety, and producing some weight savings. The gun braking system was improved to prepare the later mounting of the new L55 gun and to enable firing of more powerful ammunition, such as the DM-53 APFSDS. The A5 entered service in the German tank battalions in mid-1998.
The Leopard 2(S) is a Swedish Army variant of the Leopard 2A5, which has received the local designation Strv 122. It is based on what was then called "Leopard 2 Improved" and features increased armour on the turret top and front hull, and improved command and control and fire control systems. Externally, the vehicle can be distinguished from the Leopard 2 A5 by the French GALIX smoke dispensers, different storage bins, and the much thicker crew hatches.õ It's also equipped with a new command system.
The Leopard 2A5 DK is a variant of the Leopard 2A5 similar to the Leopard 2A6 with some small modifications, used by the Danish Army.

Another name on the chopping block in TNA right now is Garett Bischoff, who has not really done much in the company since management decided to split up the Aces and Eights stable. His father, Eric Bischoff, recently scaled back on his duties within TNA.

According to the latest United Nations World Travel Organization (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer report, international tourism is returning at a strong pace as borders reopen and restrictions ease. International tourism increased 182 percent year-on-year in Q1 2022 and the Asia Pacific region recorded a 64 percent increase from 2021. The reopening of borders is a particular relief for those travelers relying on foreign healthcare, and indeed for the health providers themselves, whose very business model demands a regular stream of overseas patients.
With the return of international travel, the medical tourism sector is expected to grow by the end of 2022 at pre-pandemic rates as demand restores. In anticipation of this rising demand, hospitals and investors across the Southeast Asia region—where three of the world’s foremost medical tourism destinations, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, are located–are investing and reinvesting in health infrastructure in a bid to compete for both international and domestic medical tourists.
Localization–raising the bar to encourage domestic medical tourism
Some say that a side-effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the acceleration towards more localized policies in a bid to reduce vulnerability to future pandemics and external shocks. The abrupt disruptions to cross-border trade and travel have had a severe impact on the delivery of health and medical services. In building self-reliance, governments have ramped up policies and initiatives that seek to encourage home-grown innovation and nurture local ecosystems. The government of Thailand, for instance, is investing heavily in building a robust ecosystem to drive health innovation to make advanced healthcare more accessible. The Thailand Board of Investment is supporting local start-up Genepeutic Bio, a contract manufacturing and development organization, in the building of a GMP-compliant CAR-T manufacturing facility at the Thailand Science Park. The company believes that setting up a site in Thailand can potentially reduce the cost of CAR-T treatment by up to 80 percent, putting it within reach of many more patients–both in Thailand and in the Southeast Asia region.
Indonesia is also making a play to stem the flow of some two million Indonesians seeking medical check-ups, treatment and services overseas by developing the country as a destination for medical tourism. Its first significant project is the development of Bali International Hospital in Sanur, which is gazetted as the country’s first health-related special economic zone. Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises are teaming up with the world-renowned Mayo Clinic to develop the 300-room facility and provide various medical services, including cancer treatment.
Telehealth boom post-pandemic?
Beyond physical travel, another side effect/symptom of the pandemic is the rapid scaling-up of telehealth. One of the significant benefits of telehealth in medical tourism is the ability to deliver pre-and post-operative care, without the need for additional travel and reducing costs for patients. Yet, there still remain numerous challenges as policies struggle to keep up. Telehealth practices need to be developed and integrated and data security and interoperability continue to be a thorny issue. Insurance coverage is another point of consideration.
Digital evangelists are highly optimistic about the future of health tech, but will telehealth become a mainstay of medical tourism? The potential of telehealth in medical tourism is spurring greater health tech innovations. For example, we are already seeing a rise in VR and AR technologies for remote testing, but to be fully entrenched, hospital providers will need to digitally transform in order to cater to patients both on and offline.
Today there are more than 14 million people worldwide who travel for medical reasons and analysts do not expect the numbers to wane. With the advancements in technology and the development of domestic innovations and medical hubs, the healthcare tourism landscape is likely to prosper further as patients, insurers and providers turn to technology to save costs and increase margins. Be under no illusion–this innovation experiment is being watched closely by publicly funded health systems to see what lessons can be learned in the post-pandemic era of health delivery. The signs are promising–as long as borders remain open. But in the long-term, will this leapfrog in technology actually erode the very need to physically travel to be treated? Only time will tell.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A continuation of the epic Dark Knight and Dark Knight Returns series by Frank Miller, this series is nothing, if not widely hyped. Don’t get me wrong, I was just as excited as everybody else about the thought of the return of Frank Miller to his mighty Batman story, I simply have found myself, a little underwhelmed in this first issue.
Without giving anything away, I’ll simply give you my impression of the writing and art of this single first issue, steering clear of any major plot giveaways.
I found myself a bit lost through the first half of the issue. I had a hard time figuring out if I’d missed or forgotten something about The Dark Knight Returns or not. There’s some of the old style infused in this newer version, what with the text messaging back and forth in the standard abbreviated fare. This is fully inline with the original versions dialect chosen to portray the goons. Both of which annoy me to no end. I cannot stand when writers literally write accents into their dialogue. I much prefer a simple footnote of some sort indicating the accent. I may be the only one who hates when poor grammar are written into stories, but I just cannot get over it.
After finding out where I was in the story half way through, I discovered an inserted story of Captain Atom, which I wasn’t sure if I should read that first, then continue on with the DKIII story line or save that for the end. I chose to save it for the end, glad I did. It wouldn’t have ruined anything, but I think it’s best to read it after you’ve completed the DKIII story first.
The artwork was good. Not great, but also not horrible. There were times that I had hoped the art would support the story a little more so I could follow what was going on a little more, but alas, there were times the art was just as confusing.
It wasn’t all bad. There’s a great twist at the end that is totally worth the wait. A single page made the whole story make sense and made the story pretty darn good. I still don’t feel the price tag of $5.99 is worth it. This is especially evident considering Frank Miller is said to have very little actual involvement overall in the book. It feels like an overly obvious ploy by DC Comics to capitalize on a legendary name to sell some books. Hats of to them for succeeding. I bought it hook line and sinker, though I don’t know I’ll be collecting the entire series unless the overall writing keeps getting better.
This may not be a must have for your collection unless you’re a huge Batman fan, or you’re hoping the book will increase in value. It has a good chance of actually doing so, though there are probably around 30-50 variant covers for this series already so it may not be worth nearly as much as you’d hope.
