Ronnie James Dio (Ronald James Padavona), (born July 10, 1942, Portsmouth, N.H.—died May 16, 2010, Los Angeles, Calif.), American rock singer who fronted the heavy metal bands Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio with soaring, nearly operatic vocals and a theatrical stage persona. He was also credited with popularizing the “devil’s horns” hand gesture favoured by heavy metal music fans. Dio first gained notice in 1975 with Rainbow, with which he recorded four albums. In 1979 he was chosen to replace Ozzy Osbourne as front man for the British band Black Sabbath, and with that band he released the popular albums Heaven and Hell (1980) and Mob Rules (1981). Dio left Black Sabbath in 1982 but briefly reunited with the group in 1992. Notable among the releases of his own band, Dio, were Holy Diver (1983) and The Last in Line (1984). With other members of Black Sabbath, playing as the band Heaven and Hell, Dio released The Devil You Know in 2009.

Harlen Wheatley

Harlen’s formal education in chemistry and chemical engineering brought him to Buffalo Trace Distillery, but it’s the on-the-job experience that led him to become the resident Master Distiller in 2005.

Born in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, in 1969, Harlen has spent almost all of his life in the Bluegrass. After relocating and spending much of his youth in Florence, KY, Harlen attended Northern Kentucky University, attaining his degree in chemistry. He then migrated to work full-time at a chemical company in Central Kentucky while completing a chemical engineering degree at the University of Kentucky, gaining formal training in distillation and separation techniques.

Harlen joined the Distillery as a supervisor in 1995. Not long after, the Distillery was rechristened and the flagship Buffalo Trace Bourbon was introduced. It marked a new era in the Distillery’s esteemed history and Harlen continued to make his mark as he was promoted to Distillery Manager in 2000. Harlen was named Master Distiller in 2005, becoming Buffalo Trace's sixth Master Distiller since the Civil War.

Having worked in every aspect of production from raw materials to barrel aging, as Master Distiller, Harlen has driven many initiatives, including solidifying standards and consistency, quality focus and efficiency gains. He is active in overseeing a number of distilling and aging operations in various locations, all while promoting and educating the public on some of the world’s finest bourbon whiskeys.

Harlen is a four-time James Beard Award nominee in Outstanding Wine and Spirits Professional category.

Yarra Valley Farms are wholesale suppliers of quality fruit and vegetables to the Hospitality Industry; including some of Australia’s best restaurants, hotels, cafes, caterers, education and care facilities.

We source fresh produce from farmers and growers, and deliver this directly to customers via owner-operated Franchisees. Our Franchisees collect the produce from our distribution centres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Northern Rivers/Gold Coast, and deliver it to our customers each morning.

The Yarra Valley Farms business is made up of a carefully designed number of territories. Each territory has existing customers with the potential to grow the customer base from the hundreds of food service outlets within the territory.

Using our unique online ordering system, customers can directly place orders with Yarra Valley Farms,
Once all customers’ orders are received, the produce is sourced fresh everyday by our buyers. All orders are then picked and packed by the Yarra Valley Farms team at the distribution centres, ready for collection by the Franchisees. The Franchisees check and collect the ready-to-go orders, then hit the road to make the deliveries to the customers in their territory.

Deliveries are typically complete by midday, which allows time for Franchisees to visit businesses in their territory to generate more opportunities.

There are many great things about being a Yarra Valley Farms Franchisee. The main one being the chance to be a small business owner backed by the support of a well-established reputable brand.

Here are some other great benefits of being a Yarra Valley Farms Franchisee.

Large exclusive territory – you will have a defined and exclusive geographical territory made up of several postcodes. In this territory there will be existing customers, most importantly however, there will be the opportunity to grow the customer base from the hundreds of hospitality businesses defined within it.

Delivery Relief Service – most small business owners worry about never getting the chance to have a break and recharge the batteries as there’s no-one to look after things if they’re not around. We know everyone needs time out at some stage, so we allow you to arrange to take some time off, and our professional team will cover your business and look after your customers.

Can you handle National No Makeup Day?

Can you handle National No Makeup Day?

I very rarely leave the house without my makeup on, and it seems I’m not alone in this as 70 per cent of British ladies don’t feel confident going to work without their full face on.

While the study, commissioned by the Vitality Show, could show that we Brits are taking care of our appearances, it’s also a little scary how much we rely on our slap to help us feel good about ourselves.

More than half of women polled said that they didn’t mind seeing friends, family or their partner without makeup on, however nearly two-thirds wear it every day to work.

But why is this? Surely we can’t be wearing all this foundation and mascara to impress our bosses?

This week women around the UK are being urged to celebrate National No Makeup day by going bare faced and beautiful on Thursday March 22nd so I think I’ll give it a go.

Makeup can make me feel more confident, and often more alert, but I should be judged on my abilities and not just my appearance – even if my makeup is flawless!

Rather than looking worn out and tired I’m going to make sure I have plenty of sleep between now and Thursday and try to keep up with my skincare regime.

I might even try and locate some blotting paper in case my skin looks a bit shiny by the afternoon, not a touch of powder in sight!

The next trick up my sleeve is to dress to impress, so I’ll dig out my favourite purple wrap-around dress.

This shows off my feminine figure and always makes me feel pretty positive about myself, especially when I’ve tousled my hair into loose waves.

There’s so much more to my look than simply makeup, so I’ll be glad to give my face a break.

Can you handle the makeup free challenge?

Say “I Do” to These 8 Unique Spring Wedding Favors

Spring Wedding Favors

The birds and the bees love the springtime, and so do brides and grooms! If you’re saying “I do” this spring or one soon to come, spoil your guests with some of these unique, DIY wedding party favors. They run the gamut from rustic and cute to refined and classy.

Cheap DIY Wedding Party Favors

Save money on your wedding souvenirs by making the following two yourself!

Lavender Soap

Modern times have removed many of us from growing our own food and making supplies. Get back to your roots by creating one of the easiest and cheapest substances around, soap!

DIY lavender soap may feel lavish, but it’s pretty simple. Follow this recipe to make your own, natural lavender soap for your wedding. We love how this person above wrapped their soap in brown paper and twine with a garnish of dried lavender. You can do the same. Or if you choose another scented soap to make for your big day, use that as inspiration (i.e. fresh mint for mint and oatmeal soap, honeysuckle sprig for honeysuckle soap…).

Tea and Coffee

The morning after a long night of partying at your wedding will leave guests weary (and probably hung over). Give them a wedding favor that will serve them well the next day: coffee or tea!

Get the look done by this crafter by ordering loose leaf tea in bulk from a gourmet company like Harney and Sons. Then, purchase cosmetic cases with clear tops and stuff your tea inside. Tie with twine for a rustic appeal or soft ribbon for a more feminine touch. Tea can easily be changed out with coffee beans, or you can do both and let your guests choose what they want to take home to remember your special day!

Unique Wedding Favors

Don’t want your wedding to be another run-of-the-mill affair? Not keen on giving out monogrammed coasters to all your guests and finding them at Goodwill the next month? Try some of these unique wedding favor options to please every party-goer.

It still could be cold come springtime, so help your guests warm up and break the ice with these boozy wedding favors. Talk to your significant other and come up with a his and hers option (like Jack Daniels and Tanqueray). Then, make or order custom labels like this person did below that represent your love.

Trying to figure out a classy way to display these wedding favors? How about pairing your his and hers airplane bottles with mixers and placing them at each table? So if you have a cute whiskey bottle like this one here, bundle it up with a mini can of coke or ginger ale. That way, guests can get some immediate gratification and get the party started.

Macarons are so delightful, dainty, and delicious. Depending on your wedding theme, choose macaron colors that echo the look. Finish your party favors for all of your wedding guests by wrapping one or a few macarons up in clear or cardboard boxes.

Not sure how to make macarons yourself? The bad news is they’re kind of tricky (so you might want to consult a bakery). The good news is you can make them up to 6 months ahead of time and keep them in the freezer, so you won’t be rushing to finish these wedding party favors the day before you say “I do!”

Living Wedding Party Favors

Represent the vitality of your relationship with a living, breathing wedding favor! The following are all live options to add freshness, greenery, and natural beauty to your wedding.

Seeds are about as cheap a wedding favor as you can buy! Buy in bulk and you’ll spend less than $1 per guest. Then, make a very bland item really exciting in the presentation.

Spring and gardening go hand-in-hand, so we love how this couple displayed their seeds in a wheel barrel. If you don’t want a pile of dirt at your wedding, you can set seed packets out in a pretty basket, put one at each place setting with a card or cute label, or place the packets inside tiny terra cotta pots. Go with the theme of your wedding to make this affordable and useful wedding gift a success.

Herbs are cheap, fragrant, and pretty. Plus, they add a nice dose of greenery to your special day. Choose baby herbs like thyme, rosemary, and mint and pot them for every guest. You can do this a week ahead of your wedding, but don’t forget to water your plants!

If you don’t want to have to worry about breakable pots, try Chinese takeout containers for your herbs or wrapping them in burlap. If you choose something biodegradable then your guests will be able to pop the whole thing in the ground once they get home and enjoy flavorful herbs for years to come.

Springtime weddings are the perfect time to give flower bulbs as wedding favors. Why? Because your guests can take them home and plant the bulbs that fall. The following spring, when the bulbs come up they’ll be reminded of your nuptials and everlasting love.

Bulbs need to be kept in cool, dry, and dark places, so don’t leave these wedding favors out on a hot and sunny day! Have your wedding coordinator place these bulbs in a shaded, cool area so your guests get blooms, not duds.

The best option for no-muss-no-fuss brides and grooms is most certainly a succulent. These wedding favors don’t need much at all. In fact, they only need about 1/4 cup of water every 2-4 weeks.

The best thing about these wedding favor succulents is the fact that they’ll stand up to heat on a wedding day and travel back to your guests’ homes. As long as they don’t get bumped around too much, they’ll be gorgeous additions to your wedding and great gifts too.

Congratulations on your upcoming spring wedding! It’s truly one of the loveliest times of year to tie the knot. If you’re looking for any more ideas for your wedding, check out our custom candy buffet tutorial. It’ll show you how to create a display that puts the pros to shame.

Gummi Bears for our Wedding Favors

We're using these gummi bears for wedding favors at our wedding in June. Since that is still two months away, I think we may have to buy more, as we have been snacking!

by tom chorlton 4/15/2015
Fresh and Soft

I love Gummy Bears, I limit myself everyday but I'm having trouble with these. I have always bought them from a Big Box Store, but I have had the flu for over a month and couldn't get more. So I ordered from this site. I was shocked when I got them, I've never had any so FRESH and so SOFT. They taste exactly like each flavor. I didn't know how old the Gummy Bears are in a store. They are hard and no flavor compared to these. I will always order from Candy Store.com

Senior Citizen in Kansas City MO.
I would recommend to anyone.

by Beverly 2/20/2015
Second order

Second order, I bought these before and they are well worth getting them to your taste-buds. When eating them my mouth waters so much I can hardly keep them in my mouth. They are really good and you won't go wrong when you order these tasty Bears.

Tussle over Grogan plot continues

May 18, 2009 12:00 am

, NAIROBI, Kenya, May 18 – Chaos broke out at the Globe Cinema roundabout on Monday morning, when mechanics operating at a disputed plot on Kirinyaga Road clashed with some hired youths.

The mechanics and other traders who have been operating their businesses at the grounds for more than two decades said they woke up to find hired goons manning the grounds, prompting a confrontation.

It was the third time in two months that the mechanics were involved in skirmishes over the plot.

“We came here in the morning and found a group of youths armed with bows and arrows. They told us they were under instructions not to let us in. That is when we regrouped and chased them away,” electrician Michael Okelo said.

“It was chaotic, we fought for close to half an hour before police intervened and shot in the air to disperse us. That is when they left and we came in,” he added.

No major casualty was reported but police said that some of the mechanics sustained bruises and minor cuts.

“We acted fast. It could have been worse because one of the groups was armed with arrows. There are no major casualties,” Central divisional police chief Tito Kilonzi, who led the anti-riot squad said.

Mr Kilonzi said they had ‘resolved to let the mechanics go on with their businesses on condition that they do not engage in violence’.

“As long as they are not disrupting other businesses and stoning motorists at the round about, we have no problem with them,” he said.

“Our officers will remain here on standby and will only intervene if there is a problem,” said the police chief.

The mechanics spent the better part of Monday clearing the grounds and covering trenches dug by bulldozers on Sunday night.

“The developer who is trying to reclaim this land does not want us here. He has even hired people to dig trenches so that our customers cannot access the grounds with their vehicles,” another trader, Duke Mwaniki said.

On Thursday, the mechanics engaged police in running battles when they found the grounds fenced off and opted to avenge their anger on motorists at the Globe Cinema roundabout.

They even set ablaze a police truck and damaged property of an unknown value.

One of the mechanics, John Wainaina, 44, was shot and seriously injured during the Thursday chaos, and then arrested soon after he was discharged from hospital.

Police said they would charge him jointly with other suspects arrested on that day for robbery and malicious damage of property, which includes the police truck that was burnt down.

On Saturday, Lawyer Paul Muite toured the disputed land and urged the mechanics and other traders there to stay put ‘because they are bonafide owners of the plot’.

Citing land laws, which govern the mode of reclaiming land, Mr Muite told the mechanics they were justified to continue occupying the land ‘because the owner had failed to reclaim it within the 12 year-period provided by the law’.

“According to the law, if you fail to move to court to attain an eviction order within 12 years, that is called adverse possession. It allows those who have been occupying the land to go to court and petition to get the title to the land,” he said while addressing the mechanics at the controversial plot.

The former legislator said that Jamia mosque was to blame for failing to gather enough information on the ownership history prior to the purchase.

“It was their (Jamia Mosque) responsibility to inquire from the seller who the mechanics were and whether he had given them an eviction order,” he said.

Jamia Mosque Committee claims to have bought the five-acre-plot for a sum of Sh123 million from previous owners – the Hebattulas family.

With the rollout of the National Broadband Network (nbn) old technology used to deliver the internet and phone are being replaced with superior connections, which means access to next generation internet and phone services that are much faster, more reliable and more affordable. The nbn is a government initiative owned by nbn co and is one of Australia's largest ever infrastructure projects. Initial internet speeds will be as high as 100Mbps with the potential to increase to one gigabit per second (1Gbps) in years to come. The nbn will help your business become more productive, more efficient and more than ready for a digital future.

How does the nbn work?

The Nbn will use a mixture of technologies depending on your location: fixed wireless, optic fibre, VDSL2+ and next-generation satellite. Around 93% of the Australia's population will be connected with fibre while rural and remote locations will be serviced by fixed wireless and satellite connections.

What are the benefits for my business?

The nbn will revolutionise the way you do business. Not only will you get faster connections and consistent speeds, the nbn will enable businesses to take advantage of digital technologies regardless of their location, gain valuable access to new markets and compete on a global scale.

Back in April, the Senate passed a bill that included a reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) for five more years, and the House is set to take it up soon. So what is PDUFA and why should you care?

In short, you — and the pharmaceutical companies — have a lot riding on it. PDUFA first was passed in 1992 to help the FDA review drugs more quickly and get them out to patients sooner. It created a “user fee” that a company pays when it submits the large volume of research the FDA must review before approving or rejecting a drug, essentially paying the FDA to speed up its decision making process. The biggest question as Congress debates reauthorizing the law is if FDA should raise the fees and use a larger portion of that funding to look at drugs after they’ve been approved and gone to market.

Back in 1992, drug companies were screaming that it took far too long to get their drugs to market — particularly because it cut into the time a drug was under patent. Consumers also were lobbying for new drugs to be made available in a more timely fashion. (Of particular concern at the time were AIDS drugs.) Once passed, PDUFA was hugely successful, cutting the time almost in half for many drugs to hit the market. About 50 percent of all new prescription drugs now are available in the U.S. first vs. just eight percent before PDUFA. Pharmaceutical companies’ profits have soared because of it.

However, that speed of approval also is viewed by many as the main downside of the law. Drugs like Vioxx, Ketek and now Avandia are looming large in the new debate. All three of these drugs ran into problems after the FDA approved them. The possibility of heart attacks or liver failure weren’t discovered in connection with these drugs until they had been approved and were in use in large numbers. So now many are calling on increasing the fees to cover the costs associated with follow-up on approved drugs. Some have argued that computer programs could mine huge databases like those of Medicare and HMOs to find potential problems with drugs on the market much more effectively than waiting for random doctors’ reports — or lawsuits — to trickle in.

PDUFA has been a very effective law, but we must watch closely to see if it is updated to fix some of its shortcomings.

5 Ways QuickBooks Can Help You Grow Your Business 2016-12-09T02:09:45+00:00

5 Ways QuickBooks Can Help You Grow Your Business

quickbooks grow business

Any business owner is constantly on the prowl for new and innovative ways to increase the size of his business – and, as a small business owner, you’re probably even more zealous than most about your quest for expansion.  Maybe you’ve thought of a few interesting ideas yourself, but, if you’re still a little stymied, it may be time to look at ways you can use an accounting system – something you probably already use or have thought of using – to give you easy ways to expand your reach and ultimately bring you more money.

For small business owners, QuickBooks is usually an ideal accounting system, well-developed enough to handle most tasks (like invoicing, inventory management, reporting, payment processing, etc.) but simple enough in its interface not to overwhelm users with extra features.

But, I don’t use QuickBooks at all!  Is there hope for me?

Of course there is!

If you’re a small business owner and you don’t use an accounting system, you might consider QuickBooks; and, even if you already use another common system like Sage 50 or Sage 100, if you feel overwhelmed by the features of those programs, you might also consider going simpler and using QuickBooks.  Despite its relative simplicity, you’re perfectly capable of growing your business just by using features already included inside QuickBooks.

Here’s how QuickBooks can help you expand your business:

quickbooks grow business

#1. Sending invoices quickly gets you your money faster

If you send invoices to customers using standard mail, you know what a hassle that can be.

Rather than accepting it as the norm and receiving your funds weeks after you’d like them, you can use an automatic part of QuickBooks to email invoices directly to your customers.  Invoices will even come with payment buttons, so, rather than email you sensitive information directly, your customers can pay you through a secure portal that connects directly to QuickBooks.  Payment options aren’t even limited to direct debits; customers can choose to pay by credit card as well.  This leads nicely to the next point…

#2. Integrated credit card processing makes you more efficient

Aside from letting your clients pay you by email, you can accept payments from them on the spot – as soon as you take your order, or whenever it’s appropriate during your sales cycle – with a QuickBooks credit card processing plugin.

Special virtual payment gateway software plugs directly into QuickBooks  in this case and allows users to process real credit card transactions inside QuickBooks, which automatically posts those payments inside the program.  This helps loads if you normally spend time manually reconciling payments with invoices at the end of the day, or if you don’t use software at all.  You can use the time you save each day to do much more productive things, like inspire yourself with other, more trade-specific ways to expand your company (which, for obvious reasons, would be beyond the scope of this article to discuss).

#3. Bank syncing ability lets you project cash flow precisely

Managing cash flow is of huge import to businesses, and QuickBooks comes equipped with an option to sync your business’ bank account and other financial statistics with the program, so you know exactly how much cash you have on hand at a given moment.  For cash flow management and projection, that’s easily half the battle.  Having those numbers in front of you will, once again, give you heaps more time to do other things you need to do.

Having access to all of your business’ statistics also gives you a multitude of reporting options, available with just a click – not hours of data compilation.

#4. Mobile app capability allows you to do business without being at your desk

quickbooks grow business

These days, it really pays to be mobile.  Intuit, designers of QuickBooks, anticipated this, and added a great mobile app capability that allows a user (or users) to access a business’ vital statistics without even being at work, invaluable for anyone on the go – which these days seems to be the case for business owners more often than not.

And, rather than just save you time, using QuickBooks’ native mobile app allows for mobile payment processing as well, which means you can take payments at trade shows, from your food truck, walking down the street…  Anywhere, really.  This lets you expand your business to places you simply couldn’t have gone before.

#5. Multi-user capability eliminates bottlenecking

One thing that can really slow a business down is when the boss needs to approve everything.  Try as you might, you simply can’t attend to all matters of your business at all times – and, knowledgeable as you may be, another perfectly capable employee may be able to work with your accounting system on your behalf.

With QuickBooks’ multiple user capability, you can allow multiple members of your company to manipulate QuickBooks – with varying permission levels, of course.  This eliminates the need for you to constantly approve things because QuickBooks itself can act as your moderator with its varying levels of permission for each user on your system.  This means you can spend more time away from the business, more time delegating, and more time thinking of ways to expand your business.

With QuickBooks, you can customize your growth

As a business owner, it’s easy to get too involved with your business to really affect any notable change – and this isn’t good for you, your stress levels, or those of your employees.  Though QuickBooks may not come equipped with a manual titled “How to grow your business,” the tools native to QuickBooks will help give you the ability to create your own manual and lead the proverbial horse to water.  How much you drink is your choice, but at least you’ll have a source from which to drink at all.

Reboule du Rhône: A Celebration of the Great Wines of the Northern Rhône, Nov 17-19!

'La Reboule’ is a traditional end of harvest celebration in France’s Northern Rhône Valley where grape harvesters, winemakers, and cellar staff get together at the end of a successful vintage to toast with great food, wine, & revelry.  Sommeliers Dustin Wilson & Thomas Pastuszak are bringing this storied tradition along with the best producers from the Northern Rhône to New York City on November 17th – 19th, 2017 via a weekend of fantastic wine tastings, dinners & festivities.

Reboule du Rhône will showcase these amazing producers & their special wines for enthusiasts & collectors alike, while raising money for a charity Thomas & Dustin both share great support for: No Kid Hungry.

"Millions of kids in America don't get enough food at home, making it almost impossible for them to focus and do well in school. Let's make sure every kid in America has a chance to do their best".

Many of the Northern Rhône Valley’s greatest producers will be in attendance including Jean-Louis Chave, Jean Gonon, Jean-Pierre Monier, Guillaume Clusel, Pierre Rostaing, and many others, showcasing their wines for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

A six-course dinner will be served with each course being prepared by one of NYC’s top chefs. Guests will have the opportunity to share wines from their own cellars* alongside a selection of special vintages from each of the winemaker’s domaines. Wine service will be provided by some of the industry’s best sommeliers with live music setting the stage for the night’s events.

RDR After Party at 180 Maiden Lane from 10 - 12pm: Guests, winemakers, sommeliers, and chefs will close out the events with continued festivities, a DJ, dancing, and plenty to drink.

Carlsen Checkmates!

Carlsen Checkmates!

The most shocking chess episode of the year that everyone is talking about happened in the Tata Steel super tournament. Indeed how often does the world chess champion miss a checkmate in three, when he has plenty of time to think on his moves?

There are two curious things about this game. First of all, the final very rare endgame reminds me of another very famous game that lasted 215 moves. That is most probably the longest game ever played by two super grandmasters!

Also the checkmate missed by Carlsen against Giri looks quite similar to the one that the world champion delivered in one of his most memorable games:

Generally speaking, grandmasters don't allow the actual checkmate to appear on the board and prefer to resign before it actually happens, just like Karjakin did in the game above.

It is considered to be very embarrassing for a GM to actually get checkmated. The following notorious game is a good example:

While playing 56. Qxf7#, Tolush said something that can be roughly translated like "here is a little checkmate for you, Mikhail Moiseevich!. After the game Botvinnik stopped talking to Tolush for a very long time.

While an actual checkmate in the games of grandmasters is not very common, it does happen. Here's how it's possible.

1. Oversight

As you can imagine, grandmasters don't usually blunder a checkmate in one, providing that they have time to think. Nevertheless, the next game shows that after all, GMs are humans too.

2. Time trouble

This is the most common culprit. Anything can happen in a time trouble! We already saw how the great Botvinnik got checkmated in time trouble. The following game is just another example.

3. Bluff

Sometimes, when the position is completely lost, a grandmaster can take the risk of being embarrassed by a checkmate on the board for a very remote chance to escape the defeat. Here is a good example from the same Tata Steel chess festival, but this time it is the challengers' tournament. Out of six possible legal moves White could play on move 55, four would lead to immediate stalemate, so Black decided to give it a shot.

Even though Magnus Carlsen missed a checkmate in his game vs. Giri, don't expect it to happen again anytime soon. In fact, It looks to me that Carlsen delivered more actual checkmates on the board than any other top grandmaster! Of course, most of his opponents still prefer the old-fashioned resignation one move before a checkmate, just like Karjakin did in their game we already discussed.

Jon Ludwig Hammer followed suit in the next game that we analyzed in this article.

Now let's take a look at the games where Carlsen's opponents preferred to get checkmated rather than resign. The following game is not quite typical, since Carlsen's opponent was just an amateur. Two years ago we devoted a whole article to this game!

It is a totally different story when a titled chess player plays till a checkmate. As I mentioned earlier, the world champion has surprisingly big number of games like this. Maybe Carlsen's opponents think it is an honor to get checkmated by the genius, sort of like a chess accolade?

Anyway, most of the games are great example of tactical chess, so you might want to find the moves on your own and therefore check your attacking skills. That's why most of the games are given as puzzles.

And finally a checkmate to the fellow world champion!

FAQs Consenting to Tests, Treatments and Procedures

LIke ThisLIke ThisLIke ThisLIke ThisLIke This

Consenting to a test, procedure or surgery is an important decision. Before you consent, it is essential to have a conversation with the physician (or other provider) who is recommending and/or performing the procedure so you can fully understand what is involved and have all of your questions answered.

What should I know before I give permission for my child's procedure?

  • What is my child's medical problem?
  • What is the proposed procedure, test, or surgery?
  • Why is the procedure recommended? How will it help my child?
  • What are the serious and common risks of this procedure?
  • What will the recovery be like?
  • What are the alternatives? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives?
  • What would the doctor recommend if I say "no" to this procedure?
  • What is likely to happen if we do nothing?

Is the procedure guaranteed to work?

  • No. It is impossible to guarantee the outcome or to eliminate every risk. However, the doctor has recommended the procedure because he/she thinks the advantages to your child outweigh the risks.

Will my doctor work alone?

  • Many procedures require more than one pair of hands. Your doctor may be helped by other fully trained doctors, doctors in training, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare providers. Sometimes the team who assists your doctor will change during the procedure.
  • No one can assist your doctor unless they are legally allowed to do so here at Boston Children's Hospital.

Who will watch the procedure?

  • In most cases, nobody will watch except the care team.
  • Sometimes there are other observers. The only people who are allowed to watch are medical students on approved training rotations and others who have formal guest privileges at Children's. For example, surgeons from around the world often visit to watch our teams at work.

What if I don't want anyone to watch my child's procedure?

  • Please tell us and we will respect your wishes.
  • However, please consider that by allowing students and others to watch your child's procedure, you will be helping us train those who will care for the next generation of children.

What is "teach back"?

  • The doctor will ask you to explain the procedure back to him/her to make sure we have done a good job of explaining things to you. We want you to be able to tell us your understanding of:
    • what is being done for your child
    • the major advantages, and
    • any important risks of the procedure.

The consent form says the doctor may change the plan during the procedure. Is that common?

  • It is rare for the doctor to change the plan during a procedure. In most cases, the doctor would contact you in the family waiting area before making a major change in plan.
  • Sometimes doctors will find something they were not expecting and need to change the plan.
  • In an emergency, the doctors will respond immediately, and may not have time to contact you first.
  • Emergencies are rare. However, our job is to prepare for any event, no matter how uncommon

Why would my child need blood or blood products? What are the risks?
Blood and blood products are given to improve the oxygen supply to the body. They help to correct bleeding problems and can be life-saving.
  • Sometimes blood is donated by the patient in advance of a procedure for his/her own need, but usually blood is given by healthy volunteer donors. Donated blood is tested for many diseases including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), viruses that cause hepatitis (Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus), West Nile Virus, and syphilis. This screening and testing means that the chance of catching a disease from blood is extremely low.
  • There is a small chance of developing other reactions from transfusions, such as allergies, fevers, complications from too much fluid in the bloodstream, lung injury, and reactions from receiving incompatible blood. These reactions are generally treatable and patients almost always recover quickly and completely. However, in rare cases, patients can die from a complication from a blood transfusion.
  • You have the right to refuse a blood transfusion. Refusing a blood transfusion may be risky because it may limit the kind of treatment that your child can safely receive. If you are considering refusing a transfusion, please discuss with your doctor what that would mean for your child's health and treatment.

What does it mean that my child's tissues will be tested?

  • Tissues that are removed during surgery are tested and examined by a special physician (pathologist) to ensure there are no unexpected problems. This examination is an essential part of your child's care.

What does it mean that my child's tissues may be used for research?

  • Boston Children's Hospital, like other research hospitals, may use tissue (that would otherwise be disposed of) for research into causes and cures for disease or for teaching purposes. Any tissue that we use for research will be de-identified, which means that we can not identify which patient it came from.

What does it mean that pictures or video may be taken?

  • In many procedures, pictures or video records of the findings are considered "standard" and are needed for best care. For example, doctors may need pictures to tell if your child's condition has changed over time.
  • Pictures and video are used only to care for your child, or to teach others. When they are used for teaching purposes, all identifying information (such as names and addresses) is removed.

I don't agree with some parts of the consent. What should I do?

  • Tell your doctor. Some parts may be crossed out before you sign. Other parts (such as permission for my doctor to change the plan if he/she finds other problems during the procedure) cannot be removed.

Who should sign the consent form?

  • If the patient is over 18 and legally competent (able to understand), the patient should sign.
  • If the patient is too young to understand, the parent/guardian should sign.
  • If the patient is old enough to understand (often about age 12), but under 18, it is usually best for both the patient and the parent/guardian to sign.
  • Are there any special circumstances determining who should sign the consent form?
  • If the parent does not have legal custody of a child for any reason, the legal guardian should sign.
  • If the patient is over 18, but is not competent to understand, a court order may be needed to appoint a guardian who can sign on the patient's behalf.
If the patient is a "mature" or "emancipated" minor, he/she may have legal authority to consent without the parent or guardian's knowledge.

Under-pressure Preston A&E braced for tidal wave of extra patients

editorial image

Staff at Preston’s already hard-pressed A&E unit clocked on today fearing a tidal wave of extra patients.

Within 24 hours of the announcement that Chorley’s emergency department was closing there were reports of a significant increase in people arriving at the regional trauma centre at the Royal Preston Hospital.

It was bedlam on Thursday - and that was four days before Chorley was due to close

“It was bedlam on Thursday - and that was four days before Chorley was due to close,” said a patient being treated for a suspected broken ankle. “Goodness knows what it will be like today.”

Preston is one of four hospitals where ambulance crews will now take serious cases which would have gone to Chorley. It is an extra 14 miles by road, the same distance as Bolton, with Blackburn and Wigan slightly closer.

The ambulance service says it will try to “mitigate the impact” on those neighbouring hospitals, with Chorley remaining open from 8am to 8pm as an urgent care centre.

Even before the decision to downgrade Chorley, the A&E services at Preston were already stretched to breaking point. Trolley logjams were said to be commonplace, with paramedics waiting to hand over patients.

Ambulance liaison officers have now been deployed to speed up transfers, so crews can get back on the road.

Operations director Suzanne Hargreaves told the Evening Post recently: “When all of the cubicles in our emergency departments are already full we do sometimes see a delay. We are also planning to bring in additional nurses who will focus on taking the handovers from the ambulance crews.”

Mississippi is considering a bill that would make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese people. Any establishment with a permit to serve food, the bill says, would “not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health”—and if it did, the state could pull the restaurant’s permit.

Even if the bill is not expected to survive debate in the House, and is just “political theater,” it does evoke visions of a future with scales at restaurant doors, and kitchens keeping records of each patron’s body mass index. Is this what politicians really want? Sandy Szwarc at Junkfood Science contacted the bill’s lead author, Republican representative W. T. Mayhall Jr., to inquire about his intentions. Mayhall explained that he wrote the bill to “call attention to the serious problem of obesity and what it is costing the Medicare system.”

The Obesity Action Coalition feels that if the bill draws attention to anything, it’s to blatant discrimination against overweight people. It sure does creepily recall Jim Crow laws.
