When Nikki LaValee Mattison started looking at potential locations to expand her Plymouth clothing boutique, the South Lyon area was at the top of her list.

“We have a huge customer base in South Lyon and New Hudson. We do a decent chunk of our (fashion) parties out there and we ship a decent chunk of our orders out there. I had an eye on that area for a while,” Mattison said.

“The community has been good to us, hosting parties, buying online and travelling to our store all the way in Plymouth. A lot of people went out of their way to be a part of this experience.”

Mattison, a Plymouth resident, recently cut the travel time for her customers in western Oakland County by opening a second Madison Boutique at 56766 Grand River Avenue, in New Hudson. The new location was opened Oct. 6, just 10 days after Mattison signed the lease.

“This location was a boutique previously," said Mattison, who is expecting her second child in March next year. "The owner called me a couple months ago to give me a heads up that she was moving out. I’m pregnant and had put (the expansion) on hold, but when she called, it was just too good to pass up. I wasn’t in the market to put anything new on my plate, but I think it’s really great it worked out. I was more likely to do this now than with a new baby."

When the former tenant abruptly moved out late last month, it was easy for Madison Boutique to quickly move in. The space was in “beautiful” condition and Mattison was able to buy racks and other hardware from the previous store.

“It was totally ready for us," she said. "We are in a visible spot and the previous owner shared a lot of information with me. If we can maintain what they were doing, we should get plenty of repeat and new customers.”

‘Flowy’ fashions

Loyal South Lyon-area customers congratulated Mattison in Facebook posts and commented on the new boutique's proximity to their homes.

“It is about two minutes from my house,” one woman wrote.  Another customer said she “Can’t wait to be able to shop at both locations.”

Mattison hopes to stock the same merchandise at both stores. She describes the clothing she sells as comfortable and “casual flowy,” styles that flatter different body types. Tunics, tops, pants, accessories and dresses are aimed at shoppers in their mid-20s to early 50s. In addition to carrying such popular clothing lines as Love Your Melon, Madison Boutique also taps Etsy for items made by independent crafters.

Before launching Madison Boutique online in 2012, Mattison worked in arts-related marketing jobs. When she realized her passion was in retail, she took a “stuffy corporate" assignment to save money for her dream boutique.

“I had zero passion for that place, but it got me where I knew I needed to be," she said. "At that time, I was newly married and I didn’t want to put a financial strain on us. Being a shopper, I didn’t have great credit. No one was going to give me a loan. So I took this job that was essentially data entry so that I would have a decent amount of money to tuck away.”

Fashion on wheels

A year after opening her online boutique, she bought an old flower delivery truck and turned it into a mobile clothing store. The truck, which is used for girls nights out and fashion parties, created a second revenue stream, a marketing tool, and helped Mattison compete with other retailers.

“The Internet would have been the cheapest and easiest way of running my business, but there was so much competition," she said. "There are companies that are way bigger than me with marketing budgets and they could do things at that time that I couldn’t do, like free shipping. The truck is the best marketing tool I could have done.”

A year later, she opened her first store at 627 S. Main Street, in Plymouth, where she had an established network of friends and supporters.

Mattison says she has a “smart, dedicated team” on her side to help her with both store locations. She does all the buying for Madison Boutique, but has added staff in  accounting, payroll and scheduling since launching her store six years ago.

“Even when I first opened the website, I thought my days would be filled with fashion and clothes, but as we grow, that gets further and further from the truth," she said. "What I planned originally is different from what I do day-to-day.  That’s good. It’s all the stuff you get to do when you grow.”

Taking Care Of Debt In Neosho, Missouri Through Debt Negotiation Services

Debt Negotiation Company in Neosho, Missouri

Do you have a hard time paying down your monthly credit card debt? Is your debt more than what you earn? Are overdrafts turning into a true issue? Are you introducing more unopened bills to the pile today? It doesn't have to carry on like that. You will find good Neosho, Missouri debt negotiation agencies ready to help you to bounce back.

What Exactly Is Debt Negotiation? What You Need To Know For Do It Yourself Debt Settlement

With debt negotiation, you contact each of your creditors to create an agreement in which you are able to repay them an amount which is lower than your balance to settle your bill. You'll find professional debt settlement companies that can manage this part of the approach for you. Settlement is a word for any time a collector consents to take a sum that is less than your balance. If you can't pay back the total amount and are very far behind on bills, you're likely to have a lowered sum. Collectors will be more open to taking negotiation offers and listening to your debt negotiation plea if you're in some financial distress .

Debt negotiation is a common way to get out of debt, and it is a technique which should definitely be on your list before you actually consider filing for bankruptcy protection. Filing bankruptcy will follow you forever and fully destroy your credit rating. Collectors are very well conscious that they will get very little or nothing at all should you file for bankruptcy, so they're more ready to accept the idea of a debt settlement. When you settle an account in this way, you no longer have to pay the collector or creditor. Your account will be made good for under what you owe. There will be no further endeavors to recover on the consumer debt.

Any type of financial debt can be negotiated. The idea is to make sure that your debt gets paid off and your creditors receive something, whether it is medical bills, student loans, or credit cards. It is a little harder to negotiate a settlement for a secured loan, such as wherever your car or home was offered as collateral, except if you are ready to surrender your car or house. The IRS is not required to negotiate, but it's common to do so. Student loan settlement is not as common as others.

Your credit score is likely to be affected by settlement. Every credit reporting organization will be notified of the settlement process. The settlement information will often stay on your credit score the account is totally addressed.

You won't have to do this by yourself. There is also an option of working with a debt settlement organization. If you do not like working things out on the telephone or if you aren't knowledgeable about negotiation, a company is the right option. It might be aggravating, annoying, and a little alarming to settle the debt by yourself. The notion of the process can arouse anxiety. A person might not have time to commit to it. This is where skilled debt settlement services could be of great help. Everyone is different, and you may choose the idea of speaking to your creditors personally. You will need to know about the options and to research an organization before deciding to work with them. You don't want to hire an organization with a bad track record or one that charges a lot of money in advance. Don't deal with an agency you can't rely on.

Financial difficulties that prevent you from keeping your expenses current need to be discussed with creditors quickly. You should confer personally with your collectors when you can. In your communication, you'll want to keep track of each and every communication. Whenever you aren't comfortable with this approach or haven't got enough time to devote, it is better to work with a debt negotiation service.

Go through any arrangements cautiously and request copies on paper. You must have a prepared agreement of every negotiation you have made. Your files need to include all of this information. If a disagreement comes up, you should have them. You can also require them once you file taxes.

Be Sure That DIY Debt Settlement Is The Best Solution For What You Need

Debt Negotiation Neosho, Missouri

Not everyone needs help with debt settlement. All you need to do is phone the credit card provider's customer support division. Even so, typically, a credit card company will only talk with a client who is far behind on his payments and who wishes to make one one time payment. Payment schedules are not a possibility. The credit card provider will need you to make a solitary lump sum payment.

Through carrying out your own debt negotiation, debtors can save whatever they might have wound up paying to a debt settlement service. It is also a way to be much more in control of the process of debt settlement.

The Advantages Of Working With Specialized Debt Settlement Companies

It's usually far better to use a professional debt negotiation company. They will come up with excellent deals due to their extended relationships with creditors. You wouldn't get opportunities like these by yourself. They even set it up so that you have to make one repayment to the company which will then repay the credit card companies. It couldn't be less difficult.

Doing the work alone may be less advantageous than doing the work with the help of a good debt negotiation company. Debt negotiation agencies are going to take a portion of the cost savings of the debt in order to pay for their professional services. A much better deal with a settlement service may include a larger bulk settlement that winds up with as much as half of the present balances. The established associations with creditors enables them to develop a much better rate. With the economic crisis right now, a growing number of creditors might be happy to negotiate their credit card debt instead of increasing their big written off debt.

The Drawbacks of The Debt Settlement Solution

Affect on credit score: FICO ratings could decline with a debt negotiation. This is often eliminated through a paid in full document from the collector. Settling accounts will increase the credit score once again. You can even find debt settlement solutions to improve credit ratings.

Potential getting sued: There is always the risk for a lawsuit when a debt is unpaid. Within the debt negotiation process, the balance of the person in debt will stay in default. If a debt is in default, a collector could file a lawsuit against a consumer. If you need your debt satisfied for under the total amount, you'll probably need to produce a one time payment.

Eligibility of financial debt: The success of your discussions may also be impacted by the kinds of debt you have. Debt negotiation is not going to help many types of debt. Forms of these kinds of debts can include domestic judgments and tax liens, in addition to education loan debt. Then there are the creditors who don't like to think of settlement.

IRS tax compliance considerations: A lot of people wish to avoid debt settlement simply because they know that it needs to be reported as taxable income. Yet, the IRS will not make taxpayers report the debt if the taxpayer was in an insolvent state at the time when the collector forgave debt.

How Do You Choose The Right Debt Negotiation Organization For Your Situation In Neosho, Missouri?

Neosho, Missouri credit card debt negotiation plan

Must you spend on the service before the debt is lowered?

It is the most critical question you will need to consider before choosing a debt negotiation agency. Don't apply with a debt negotiation agency which includes any significant price in advance of their work in minimizing your debt. You can expect to find a small charge ahead of time, much like an application charge. Don't pay over that though.

Are there any grievances filed against the organization? Then, how many do they have? Have they got a good position with the BBB?

Browse the web for more information on the organization and what other people feel about it. You can see how past clients feel about an organization with reviews. You can even check with your State Attorney General and the nearest chamber of commerce to find out whether grievances were recorded against them.

Is the debt negotiation company associated with the American Fair Credit Council?

The American Fair Credit Council has as its goal the advocation of good practices in the debt negotiation industry.They wish to guard debtors from unfair and unlawful processes by debt settlement companies. Membership in the AFCC requires sticking to a stringent set of regulations which include adequate disclosure for customers along with the advancement of practices that strengthen the client experience and achievement rate.

Has the approach been discussed with you? Have all your important questions been resolved?

You need to receive the facts about the process of debt settlement and exactly how it functions. The discussion will include each alternative you've got, such as consumer credit counseling, credit and consolidation, and consumer bankruptcy. Be careful if the company customer sales representative is attempting to push their plan on you while not facing each option you have. If you do not believe that your best interests are the top concern, it is best to resist sales attempts.

Have you been offered an opportunity to log into your account on the internet and track progression?

Debt settlement companies should offer each consumer an advanced level of transparency and easy access to the standing of their accounts and the work carried out for them. In the majority of situations, debt settlement companies are not that big and are not going to have the means to present their customers with this kind of information and facts. You need to use a service with the ability to deliver this sort of support.

For you to see negotiation offers, connect with customer care, access accounts, and monitor success, you should work with the ideal service.

These are the most significant considerations in choosing a debt settlement company. You won't sign up with a program that will not provide you with the very best in technological skill, customer service, and a high reputation as well.

If you've not had an opportunity to work with a professional debt settlement organization, and you have only done it yourself in the past, then this will come as a major help for you. Bear in mind, you won't be required to pay anything much upfront, and you will be capable of getting your debt addressed once and for all.

Local tennis pro’s Eye Coach tech has Billie Jean King endorsement By James Beck Special to The Post and Courier

Billie Jean King doesn’t put her name on just anything. The U.S. Open’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is a testament to her greatness.

That’s why it’s worth watching and following the story of Billie Jean King’s Eye Coach.

“Everything in one’s game starts there,” King said Monday night from Wimbledon.

“There” is the point of contact. And that’s what the Eye Coach has been all about in its creation by local tennis pro Lenny Schloss.

The Eye Coach is a revolutionary product whose “point of contact” concept has stood the tests in the games of greats such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

King was sold on the product six years ago when she first met Schloss at the Family Circle Tennis Center during the 2012 finals of World Team Tennis. Schloss was a pro at the Daniel Island complex at the time.

“The Eye Coach’s point of contact training is the same thing that I emphasized throughout my career,” King said. “That’s how I won 39 Grand Slams.”

That’s also why she put her name on the Eye Coach.

“I had never done this before, but tennis needs this breakthrough and this foundational training is an answer to an age old problem . . . really keeping your eye on the ball,” she said.

“Here’s the secret. You follow the ball to the point of contact. That’s tracking. Then you condition your brain to stop your head from shifting too early. This is what the Eye Coach does.”

Schloss and the Eye Coach have been part of the training at the Randy Pate Academy at LTP Tennis in Mount Pleasant for only about six months, but the results have been rather amazing.

“Thirty percent of all the players in the South in the top five of boys and girls 16 and 18 are from this one academy, not the state of South Carolina but just this one academy,” Schloss said about the Eye Coach’s impact on Randy Pate Academy players.

“Billie Jean has not put her name on anything in tennis except the U.S. Open. This is the only thing now that she is really invested in,” said Schloss, a former All-American at the University of Tennessee and former men’s pro tour player.

“Two months later (after King’s introduction to the Eye Coach), she said, ‘Put my name on it. That’s a device that would be for everybody. We need to get it into the home. Let’s put this into every school in the country’.”

That’s how Billie Jean’s partnership with Schloss and the Eye Coach started.

“Lots of people have good ideas. The difference with Lenny is that he also puts his heart and soul into everything he does. He knows that tennis needs something more and has dedicated his life to making this happen,” King said.

“We’ve sold in 41 countries, but our major emphasis has been the U.S. It’s purchased for use both at home and on the court and by individual players and coaches. It works equally well for both, and has an added value of increasing the amount of cardio training players can receive, instead of picking up balls.

“We need players developing a better base so they can improve more rapidly and then stay in the game. Beyond that, we have huge goals in helping in schools, with under-privileged children, under developed countries and with those who are challenged in various ways,” King added.

The Eye Coach is a battery-less non-electrical device that helps teach players to put the sweet spot of a racket on the ball and complete the follow through before lifting the head and eyes to follow the ball’s flight. It is compact enough to be used in the home or in a garage or on a back porch.

“The main goal is to help coaches get out of the brain what they put in so they won’t have to repeat the lesson 17 times,” Schloss said. “We want the kids to be able to learn faster and to practice at home.”

The story of Hampton Court Palace

Home of Henry VIII and the Tudor dynasty: a 500-year old royal pleasure palace

Home of Henry VIII and the Tudor dynasty: a 500-year old royal pleasure palace

The original Tudor palace was begun by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 16th century, but it soon attracted the attention of Henry VIII, who brought all his six wives here. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens and famous features such as the Maze and the Great Vine, the palace has been the setting for many nationally important events.

When William III and Mary II (1689-1702) took the throne in 1689, they commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to build an elegant new baroque palace. Later, Georgian kings and princes occupied the splendid interiors. When the royals left in 1737, impoverished ‘grace and favour’ aristocrats moved in.

Queen Victoria opened the palace to the public in 1838. It has remained a magnet for millions of visitors, drawn to the grandeur, the ghosts and the fabulous art collection.

The Tudor Palace

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Henry VIII’s Lord Chancellor, started Hampton Court Palace’s transformation from ordinary country house to magnificent palace.

Wolsey wanted to create a grand building where he could host not only the King and the royal court but also monarchs from across Europe.

Investing huge sums of money, he created a palace fit for the King. Wolsey was so successful in his work that Henry eventually took Hampton Court for himself.

King Henry VIII, after Hans Holbein the Younger, oil on copper, probably 17th century, based on a work of 1536. Purchased, 1863, National Portrait Gallery, NPG 157.

Henry's home

By the 1530s, Henry VIII’s Hampton Court was a palace, a hotel, a theatre and a vast leisure complex.

The King used it to demonstrate magnificence and power in every possible way, through lavish banquets, extravagant court life and fabulously expensive art.

In addition to Henry’s state and private apartments, where he slept, ate and relaxed, and the queen’s private apartments, the palace contained accommodation for courtiers.  The style depended on the status of the occupant, but again, were intended to impress.

Around Base Court, the first big courtyard of the Tudor palace inside the West Front, there were 30 suites of lodgings used for the grandest visitors.

Sorrowful spectres

The palace also held unhappy memories for Henry. His third queen Jane Seymour died giving the King a longed-for son, Edward, later Edward VI. It’s said her ghost, a ‘white wraith’ appears on the anniversary of her death.

Henry's fifth wife Catherine Howard was arrested here and later executed at the Tower for adultery and treason.

Did you know?

It is said that Catherine's ghostly presence still screams for mercy along the corridors of the palace.

The Great Kitchens

Up to 800 courtiers could accompany Henry VIII; all needed to be fed.

The King enlarged and added to the existing Great Kitchen, built in the late 1400s by a former resident Lord Daubeney.

The kitchens became an efficient food factory serving 1600 meals a day.

A playhouse and a prison

The 17th century saw many dramatic events at the palace, some of them taking place in Hampton Court’s Great Hall.

In 1603 William Shakespeare’s ‘King’s Men’ first performed Hamlet and Macbeth for the new Stuart king James I. James was also responsible for organising the 1604 Hampton Court Conference that resulted in the  publication of the King James Bible in 1611 - the Authorised Version of the Bible in English.

His son Charles I used the palace to house much of his astonishing art collection, including Mantegna's ‘Triumph of Caesar’ paintings. The King must have felt  a keen sense of irony when his art-adorned palace became his temporary prison. In 1647, he found himself under house arrest after his defeat in the Civil War.  In an attempt to flee Oliver Cromwell’s Parliamentarians, the King escaped through the Privy Garden. Charles was later recaptured and executed in 1649.

During the Commonwealth (1649-60) Cromwell saved the palace from destruction by making it his home.  Despite his Puritan ideals, he appreciated fine art, particularly the tapestries and enjoyed living like a king here.

The Long Water

This beautiful canal was commissioned by Charles II (1660-85) in preparation for the arrival of his bride, Catherine of Braganza. The couple honeymooned at the palace and boats in the shape of swans sailed up the canal in a romantic gesture.

Charles’s principal mistress, Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, and their illegitmate children were also installed at Hampton Court. The Countess made changes of her own to the grounds, transforming Henry VIII’s old orchard into a delightful ‘Wilderness’.

This room was used by King William III for small private dinner parties. The dining table is set with reproductions of gold plate and that King William III would have used. The third course of the meal, the dessert, is being served with pyramids of cherries, meringues and crystallised fruit

A most elegant era

When William III and Mary II took the throne in 1689 they asked Christopher Wren to design a new baroque palace for them. Wren scrapped his original plan to demolish the whole palace and instead created the spectacular Fountain Court, leaving much of the Tudor palace intact.

A lovely landscape

William and Mary were also responsible for creating many of the most spectacular areas of the Hampton Court Gardens to complement their new palace. These include The Great Fountain Garden, created by Daniel Marot, and a new Privy Garden.

The yew trees of the Great Fountain Garden, once neatly pruned, were later allowed to grow to their present height by Capability Brown, head gardener in the mid 18th century.

The Maze

The origins of the famous Maze are controversial, but it is thought it was created at the end of the 17th century.

The Maze was first planted in hornbeam, then replanted in the 1960s with visitor-proof yew hedges. The more authentic hornbeam is now being re-introduced.

Did you know?

When the palace was opened to the public in 1838, the Maze quickly became one of the most popular attractions, and remains so today!

The Chapel Royal, looking south east

Queen Anne's changes

The east end of the Royal Chapel once contained a great double window filled with stained glass, depicting Henry VIII, Katherine of Aragon and Cardinal Wolsey.

This was destroyed in the Commonwealth and later bricked up.

In 1710 Queen Anne commissioned architect Sir Christopher Wren to remodel the Chapel.

He placed this grand timber reredos (altar screen) over the brickwork.

Wren also added boxed in pews, an organ and a staircase leading down from the Royal Pew.

The Georgian Palace

George I’s (1714-27) main contribution to the palace was to build an impressive suite of rooms for his son George, Prince of Wales and his wife Princess Caroline.

The King also commissioned a new kitchen, today known as the Georgian House.

When George I returned in the summers to his native Hanover, he agreed reluctantly for for the Prince and Princess to represent him in England.

They entertained lavishly in his absence, leading a glittering court that outshone the old King’s.

The infuriated George I tried to outdo this rival court and make a bigger impact at Hampton Court.

So in 1718, the Tudor tennis court was refurbished as a grand assembly room and the Great Hall was converted into a theatre.

A last flourish

When George II succeeded his father in 1727, the palace entered its final phase as a royal residence.

George and Caroline completed work on their apartments and started new works for the younger members of their large royal family.

In 1734 Queen Caroline invited her favourite architect and designer William Kent to decorate the plain walls of the Queen’s Stairs. He created a Roman-style design, which included a tribute to Caroline, whom he compared to the ancient goddess Britannia.

Grace and favour

By 1737, George II no longer wanted to use Hampton Court as a royal palace. It was quickly filled with grace and favour residents.

Many of them were aristocratic widows in straightened circumstances, who were offered free accommodation in return for their husband’s services to the monarch.

The various apartments, although extremely grand, not always the most comfortable places to live. Residents regularly complained that the palace was ‘perishingly cold’ and damp, and some had no access to hot water.

Apartments continued to be granted as late as the 1960s, and although the practice has now ceased, there are still a couple of elderly residents living at Hampton Court today!

‘[Like] …civilised gypsies … going away the moment they could get anything better’.

Charles Dickens, in Little Dorrit, describing the dignified desperation of some grace and favour residents.

'Thrown open to all her subjects'

In 1838, Queen Victoria ordered the gates of Hampton Court Palace be ‘thrown open to all her subjects’ as an early act of generosity.

Visitors flocked to enjoy the stunning palace architecture, get lost in the Maze and relax in the beautiful gardens.

Did you know?

By 1881, over ten million visitors had been recorded, a huge number for the time.

A grand day out

Hampton Court Palace was one of the few attractions open on a Sunday, the only day working people had to visit. Visitors arrived by every possible means: from boat to public coach. Their journeys were made easier by the railways arriving at Hampton Court in 1849.

However, this sudden rush was not altogether welcomed by the grace and favour residents who had previously enjoyed exclusive rights to the palace gardens. They complained that the gardens became ‘hell on earth, the people come intoxicated and the scenes in the gardens on the Lord’s day are beyond description’.

Despite the complaints, the number of visitors rose steadily year on year. The public were eager for novelty, and applauded the gardeners’ effort to put the palace gardens in the forefront of fashion. Patriotic displays of mass bedding celebrated the coronation of George V in 1911, for example.

In the 1920s, further leisure activities were provided, along with a carpark, which was located, rather unattractively on the West Front!  Visitors could take tea in the Tiltyard café, enjoy putting on the green or play a game of tennis on the newly installed court.

Cumberland Art Gallery opened in November 2014.

Hampton Court today

The palace is still a magnet for visitors from all over the world. One of the newest attractions for families is the Tudor-inspired Magic Garden, which was opened in 2016 by the Duchess of Cambridge.

Two famous annual festivals - the Hampton Court music festival and the RHS Flower Show – stay true to Henry VIII’s ‘pleasure palace’ principle.

And the superb art collection – a permanent, rotating display of some of the Royal Collections finest works, continues to delight.

Your essential update on health for the week.

HSJ Catch Up

This weekly email gives HSJ subscribers a vital update on the biggest stories from the last week in health. If you have been out of the office or otherwise just too busy to keep up, HSJ Catch Up will ensure you are still in the know.

Hancock’s clear blue water

Matt Hancock is still developing his position as the new health and social care secretary and used the NHS Providers conference to put more clear blue water between him and former secretary of state Jeremy Hunt.

Asked by Chris Hopson to define his role, Mr Hancock made a very pointed reference to Mr Hunt’s time in Victoria Street saying he had no interest in spending Mondays delving into the details of individual trusts – something Mr Hunt considered a core part of being health secretary.

Mr Hancock instead wants to be an “executive chairman”, setting system direction and leaving the day to day business to Simon Stevens. Whether this slightly hands off approach will survive the winter remains to be seen.

Elsewhere in his video interview, Mr Hancock signalled areas of frustration that he wants to see tackled.

New mission

In another clear attempt to show he is a man on a new mission, Matt Hancock has opened up not so old wounds over the junior doctors’ contract, pledging to invest some additional money to iron out glitches to “put the past behind us and move forward”.

Again Mr Hancock is trying to show he is not Jeremy Hunt – a health secretary who became vilified by the NHS workforce and hated by thousands of junior doctors who blamed him personally for the strike action in 2016.

Mr Hancock, in a letter to the British Medical Association, also pledged his continuing desire to show junior doctors, and consultants, that he values their contribution. He has asked NHS Business Services Authority to change the way it handles tax charges against staff who breach their pension allowance so individuals no longer have to stump up.

Centralised where?

Stroke reconfigurations always cause local concern, even when they are done for the best of reasons – to improve outcomes.

Two years ago, plans to centralise services in West Sussex were “paused” because of concerns that putting services at either Worthing Hospital or St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester would increase pressure on other units nearby which would inevitably be closer for some patients – for example a service moved to Chichester might mean some patients were left nearer Brighton.

There the matter seemed to rest until NHS England started to put pressure on Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group to revisit centralisation this summer.

Trust ‘lunacy’?

Is it a good idea for a trust to reduce its bed base before winter? Not according to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine’s vice president, who called the Dudley Group Foundation Trust’s actions “tantamount to lunacy.”

Figures the trust shared with HSJ showed its bed base reduced from 679 in June 2017 to 637 in December.

This coincided with the trust having a very difficult winter which resulted in its being rated “inadequate” by the Care Quality Commission following a December inspection.

COBRA and anatomical waste

There has been lots of shouting about HSJ’s story, which exposed issues around the disposal, or otherwise, of human body parts and other dangerous waste by waste management company Healthcare Environment Services.

While most of the reporting has understandably focused on some of the more gruesome elements of the story, relatively little has been said about why the government did not draw the public’s attention to HES’s failures to incinerate its waste and the knock-on effect on the NHS.

Following the story’s publication, Yvette Cooper, the MP whose constituency includes Normanton (where excess waste was stored at five times the maximum allowed), fired off a series of questions on Twitter – including why Parliament had not been told of the issue given a COBRA meeting had been held.

Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth also got involved, asking an urgent question in the Commons, on that exact subject.

Move of money

NHS England and NHS Improvement published proposals that could have far reaching consequences for the provider sector.

The document confirmed what HSJ had already learned, that the government was looking to make outpatient appointments cost the same whether or not you see a consultant. At a stroke, trusts would be incentivised to have outpatients seen by someone who is not necessarily a senior medic.

Whether this is an overdue move towards a right-sizing, right-skilling of the workforce and who does what, or a dangerous incentive to have patients seen by underqualified staff remains to be seen.

Holding the NHS to ransom

More than a year after the WannaCry ransomware virus hit, the most disruptive cyber attack in NHS history, the government has finally put a figure on the damage done.

According to an “October 2018 progress update” released by the Department of Health and Social Care released, the estimated cost to the NHS was £92m.

Only £19m of this was incurred in the week or so when NHS services were severely disrupted, with ambulances diverted and more than 19,000 appointments and operations cancelled.

The DHSC response also does not directly address the funding shortfall in bringing trusts up to the “minimum bar” standard for cyber security, which could be as high as £750m.

In a story broadcast on Saturday, April 17, 2010, CTV current affairs program W5 reported a number of inaccuracies about Hudbay Minerals and the company’s operations in El Estor, Guatemala at its Fenix nickel project.

The following is a list of corrections to the inaccurate statements made during the W5 broadcast in an effort to set the record straight.

  • INACCURATE: Hudbay Minerals is investing $1 billion to move forward with the Fenix nickel project.
    FACTUAL: There is no nickel mining or processing activity occurring at the Fenix project at this time. Hudbay is still in the process of determining how to proceed with the Fenix project. Currently, we are working on an updated feasibility study which will help us improve the overall economics of the project.
  • INACCURATE: In 2007 the company enlisted the help of the Guatemala government and police to carry out evictions.
    FACTUAL: Hudbay has never carried out or been involved with any evictions in the El Estor region. The evictions shown during the W5 broadcast were carried out in January 2007. Hudbay acquired the project in June, 2008 and no evictions have ever been carried while we have owned the project.

    Hudbay’s approach to resolving the illegal land occupations is founded on a process of peaceful engagement to help reach negotiated settlements with affected parties. We are encouraged by the results we have achieved to date through this constructive process and we remain confident that this will ultimately allow us to resolve illegal land occupations in an equitable and peaceful manner.
  • INACCURATE: The broadcast characterized the governor’s visit to occupied lands near El Estor as an eviction attempt.
    FACTUAL: On Sunday, September 27, 2009 discussions were occurring between authorities and illegal occupiers of CGN land known as area 217 in an effort to discuss, understand and resolve their failure to comply with their commitments under an agreement to relocate. A majority of local families had complied with the resettlement agreement but a few continue to illegally occupy CGN property at this location.

    Hudbay wants to emphasize that no evictions were carried out and none were threatened or intended. The discussions were consistent with Hudbay's approach of peacefully resolving illegal land occupations through dialogue.
  • INACCURATE: The portions of the interview with Mr. Bryson which were broadcast omitted his more fulsome description of our internal investigation into the events of September 27, 2009 and implied that HudBay was not responsive to the investigation.

    FACTUAL: Hudbay and CGN have cooperated fully with all investigations conducted by Guatemalan authorities in connection with the incidents which occurred on September 27, 2009 in El Estor. In addition, CGN has carried out its own extensive internal investigation and determined that none of its employees or security personnel were involved in the death of Mr. Ich Chaman.

    During our internal investigation we interviewed a broad cross section of people that included eye witnesses to the events. We also interviewed our own security personnel and enlisted the help of independent third-party investigators and experts to help us reach our conclusions.

    The government’s investigation is still ongoing and it is not appropriate to provide more details at this time in order to ensure the legal process is not compromised. We look forward to continuing to cooperate with authorities to ensure all the facts are uncovered and the parties responsible for Mr. Ich Chaman’s death are apprehended.

Google Now Lets You Hide Those Creepy Ads That Follow You Around The Web

Every looked at something online and then seen an ad about it?

Ever looked at something online and then immediately started seeing adverts for it all over the internet? Well we’re here to confirm that it’s not divine intervention, it is in fact a little tool known as Google Ads.

These ads actually have a name, they’re called ‘Reminder ads’ and they exist to literally remind you of something you’d seen earlier but clearly decided not to buy.

How it works is remarkably simple, you simply go onto a website that supports Google Ads, look at a product and decide not to buy it. That company will then start pushing ads about that product to you even when you’re not on their website being fed through any other website that supports Google Ads.

While Google argues that they’re useful, you’d be forgiven for thinking that actually they’re just a tiny bit creepy.

Well the good news is that Google now recognises that perhaps they’re not everyone’s cup of tea and as such will be giving you the option to turn them off.

If you want to turn them off then Google lists some in-depth instructions here on its site.

Otherwise if you want a simple breakdown of how to do it here’s a step-by-step guide”

  1. Sign in to your Google Account.

  2. Go to Ads Settings.

  3. Scroll down to “Your reminder ads.”

  4. Click or tap the X next to an advertiser whose reminder ads you’d like to remove.

One thing to note is that this isn’t going to last forever, the muting will only last for 90 days, but as Google points out, most ads won’t last longer than 90 days anyway.

What this also highlights is one further point which is that you can’t just mute all of them, sadly you’re going to have to go through each one individually and then mute it.

Racist Who Stabbed Timothy Caughman Says He Regrets Not Killing A 'Young Thug'

He is also intolerant of interracial relationships.
New York Police Department detectives escort James Jackson from the Manhattan South Precinct on March 22.
New York Police Department detectives escort James Jackson from the Manhattan South Precinct on March 22.

The Army veteran who fatally stabbed a 66-year-old black man in New York last week said that he carried out the crime to express his intolerance of white women dating black men and to stop them from entering interracial relationships.

In a new interview with the New York Daily News, James Jackson, 28 ― who told prosecutors last week that he planned to “kill as many black men as he could”― expressed no remorse over Timothy Caughman’s death, only regret that he had not killed a younger victim.

“I didn’t know he was elderly,” Jackson told the Daily News, before suggesting that he would have rather killed “a young thug” or “a successful older black man with blondes ... people you see in midtown. These younger guys that put white girls on the wrong path.”

Jackson, who is currently being held at Rikers Island, confessed to the crime last Wednesday, more than 24 hours after he struck Caughman with a 26-inch sword. He said he deliberately traveled from Baltimore to New York to carry out the crimes because it is the “media capital of the world,” and that he wanted to get maximum exposure for his violent hatred toward black men. He said he had been plotting to kill black men for years.

“I had been thinking about it for a long time,” Jackson told the Daily News. “I figured I would end up getting shot by police, kill myself, or end up in jail.”

Jackson, who grew up in an “almost all-white” neighborhood in Baltimore and was raised by “typical liberal” parents, said his ideal society is “1950s America.” He said he hoped that the bloodshed would lead white women to reject interracial relationships, even reportedly saying that their ideal response to his killings would be: “Well, if that guy feels so strongly about it, maybe I shouldn’t do it.”

Jackson’s premeditated plans sound similar to those of Dylann Roof, who revealed that he shot and killed nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 2015 partly because he thought it would protect white women from black men.

“I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go,” Roof reportedly said during his massacre.

Roof’s claims reflect dangerous myths that paint black men as vile savages. And unpacking this trope requires digging deeper into the long history of white female sexuality being used by white men to justify racial violence.

As for Jackson, when asked about the white women who are repulsed by his racist views and actions, he responded: “That’s the problem.”

HR leaders still short-changed

HRjobs: Asia's only regional recruitment website 100% dedicated to HR jobs.
Post your HR vacancy FREE of charge here »

Top HR executives in Singapore are still earning less than their peers in C-suite roles.

Local HR leaders earn an median annual salary of S$324,000, lagging behind CEOs (S$875,000), deputy CEOs and COOs (S$481,000), CEOs of subsidiary companies and divisional or regional heads (S$375,000).

However, HR’s salaries are on par with top local finance executives, a report by global management consultancy Hay Group found.

The survey, which analysed remuneration data from companies listed in the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for the financial year of 2011/2012, also found CEOs of financial institutions earned the most pay with a median annual salary of S$2.88 million.

The finance sector also saw the highest remuneration for key executives, who earned an median annual salary of S$958,000 – significantly ahead of those in property (S$552,000) and multi-industry sectors (S$525,000).

However, Kevin Goh, director of executive rewards at Hay Group, said it is important to note out of more than 400 publicly listed companies, only 263 responded – indicating a lack of transparency when it comes to executive remuneration.

Goh said the revised Code of Corporate Governance in the financial year 2013 will require companies to reveal the remuneration of every individual director and CEO, as well as the total remuneration paid to the top five key executives.

“Following the more transparent disclosure, we anticipate increased scrutiny on executive compensation from shareholders and regulators,” he said.

“Remuneration committees now need to address the enhanced scrutiny from corporate governance activists with added emphasis on pay for performance and ultimately sustainable performance in the long-term.”

CIPD report on workers choosing life over work

Work is no longer your employees’ #1 priority

"Informative, Interactive, Inspiring. The conference brings new ideas and insights about current issues in talent and HR management"
Join the seventh annual Talent Management Asia, Asia's leading HR strategy conference. Register now for super early-bird savings!

Ten years ago, half of your employee base probably thought work was their biggest priority in life. But today, things have changed.

According to a new CIPD report, just 28% of employees put their job as a number one priority. In fact, only 22% of staff and HR leaders surveyed in the UK said they would take a job that paid really well over one they really liked.

This is a relatively large shift in mindset when compared to the same survey in 2005, in which 48% of employees said work was their biggest priority in life.

Additionally, there has been a huge shift in employees’ expectations of a promotion, where only a third prefer to strive for a bump up to a senior level position, compared to having a series of jobs at the same level.

Respondents also expressed a need to gain more control over their working patterns, with 47% regularly working extra hours. The top reasons for this include workload volume (72%), to match customer demand (30%), and wanting to get a head start – for example, clearing emails on a Sunday night (21%).

RELATED READ: HR professionals would take a pay cut for more flexibility

Taking this a step further, 35% said they would like to change their working arrangements, among which a majority (43%) would most like to change the start or finish time of their day.

Presently, one in every five employees (21%) works from home at least once a week. Just under half (45%) take phone calls or respond to emails outside of working hours, with over a third choosing to stay contactable rather than being pressured to do so.

However, a lack of companies’ trust in remote-working employees remains a significant barrier to change among 22% of public sector HR leaders.

“If organisations want to get the best out of their people they have to get smarter about understanding how, when and where individuals want to work. Many businesses are out of step with employee expectations,” said Ksenia Zheltoukhova, research adviser at the CIPD.

“To meet employee expectations, organisations must question assumptions about people management practices and processes, and establish working solutions that are of value both to individuals and to the business.”

Mission Statement

At Goldsmith Schiffman elementary school, students soar to new heights and reach the “Gold Standard”.

About The School

History of Goldsmith-Schiffman Elementary School

Goldsmith-Schiffman Elementary School is located approximately twelve miles east from the center of Huntsville, Alabama in the Big Cove area.

According to researchers, early “hunters and gatherers” came to the area thousands of years ago. They were followed later by members of the Cherokee and Chateau Indian tribes who lived nearby. The Indians camped at the nearby Goldsmith-Schiffman Wildlife Sanctuary during both the hunting and fishing seasons, preparing their fish and game in open fire pits near the river banks. It was the Indians who gave the river its name, “The Flint,” because of the flint stones found there.

The Goldsmith-Schiffman or Big Cove area began as a rural farming community. During the 1990’s the population in the area grew to the point that an elementary school was constructed named Hampton Cove Elementary School on the north side of Highway 431. Over the course of fifteen years, the population continued to grow to the point that a new elementary was needed to accommodate the number of students in the area. As a result, Goldsmith Schiffman Elementary School originated in August 2010 while under the same roof as Hampton Cove Elementary as the new campus was completed.

On January 4, 2011, the doors of Goldsmith-Schiffman Elementary officially opened in its new building, and currently serves families south of Highway 431.

Emerging Leaders Generally Have Zeal without Knowledge by Ron Cottle

AS one who started to preach at 14 years of age and was a pastor at 21, I know all too well the mistakes we are prone to make in the early years.  I chose to write on these because, regardless of age, beginners in ministry usually make the same mistakes over and over.

We are always thrilled to see new leaders emerge.  We who are older need to help them in the process.  Here are some tips and bits of wisdom from observation and personal experience.

1. Emerging Leaders Generally Have Zeal Without Knowledge.

This zeal is a great attribute.  You need it to get over discouraging hurdles in the path of ministry, both natural and supernatural.  But this same zeal can also be a weakness.  Romans 10:2 talks about zeal without knowledge.  Paul said “for I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.”

Don’t run over people in trying to save or help them.  They will resent you for it and you will lose them.  Excitement for accomplishing tasks is good, but don’t overlook details that might rise up to bite you later.  Don’t just see the forest; see the trees (individuals) as well.

2. Emerging Leaders Often Have Unrealistic Goals.

Young leaders often think that just because they arrive on the scene, everything will be different.  This is a “messiah complex.”  It says, “Lo, I have come!”  They then expect everybody to do what they say and change the city.  It doesn’t happen that way.

Recognize that you cannot change people; they must change themselves by developing new ways of thinking.  Romans 12:2 reminds us that it takes a renewed mind to bring about transformation.

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Learn to develop goals corporately with those you lead.  Then move your people’s thinking forward to accomplish their goals, not yours.  This is an important key to success.

3. Emerging Leaders Often Have One “Hobby Horse” That They Ride To The Exclusion Of A Balanced Presentation Of The Word Of God.

Prosperity, prophecy, healing, deliverance, soul-winning, are all vital parts of the Gospel.  All need emphasis.  However, to emphasize one to the exclusion of others is to be unbalanced and incomplete in your preaching.  This, in turn, leads to raising up leaders who do not have a solid theological base to work from.  Sooner or later there will be a wreck which will sidetrack these poorly trained leaders.

Remember to study and teach “the whole counsel” of the Lord.  Expository preaching will assure that Biblical revelation is taught and “hobby horses” are not allowed to dominate and lessen your ministry’s effectiveness.

4. Emerging Leaders Sometimes Put Their Ministry Before Their Families.

 It is difficult to achieve balance in this area.  But your quality of life and ministry depend on your being able to do so.  Don’t let your desire to “be the best” at ministry cause you to neglect your family.  Keeping your family foundation strong and happy is your single greatest ministry strength and must be your first priority.

Emotional neglect of your spouse and children will destroy your ministry and your family.  It does not pay to win the world but lose your own house.

5. Emerging Leaders Often Ignore The Advice Of Older, Wiser Leaders.

It is true, of course, that age or even experience does not always produce wisdom.  So don’t just take advice from everybody with gray hair.  But align yourself with a wise apostolic father who has had some proven success and who can guide you into ministry on something better than a “hit and miss” basis.

Rehoboam, the son of Solomon (1 Kings 12), refused to listen to wiser heads and instead surrounded himself with young, reckless, yes men.   This mistake divided his kingdom and lead to his failure as king.  Don’t make the mistake of refusing to listen to the counsel of older, wiser leaders who are committed to your success.

6. Emerging Leaders Sometimes Compete And Do Not Partner With Other Leaders.

 Comparing yourself, your church size, your income with peers is a deadly mistake.  We all have different gifts, abilities and callings.  Be the best you can be with your anointing and environment.  Don’t gauge your success by whether or not your ministry is bigger than someone else’s.

2 Corinthians 10:12 reminds us of how foolish this is:

“For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.”  (NASB)

Such leaders need to realize how partnering with other like-minded leaders, especially a spiritual father in the Lord, will maximize their ability to get things done!

7. Emerging Leaders Often Build Without A Strong Foundation.

A building or a crowd does not make a church.  Take the time to establish a strong leadership team and plan for sustaining growth for the long haul.  Revivals might bring crowds and even usher in lots of families.  But are you prepared to nurture and develop them into spiritual servants and leaders when they arrive?

Immediate growth must produce long-term fruit for you to have true success.  The deeper the foundation, the bigger the building you can build.  The deeper the roots, the taller the tree can grow.  Spend more time and energy on building a strong foundation for your long-term ministry than on quick growth in numbers and money.

Letter #16

We seem to be having a ‘wholesome’ day here at Ijo Pona HQ. Kathryn is at a Church Parade with her Girl Guide group and I am left to my own devices. Rather than just head back to bed to catch forty winks, I decided to try and put my time to good use.

That is, after all, the purpose of being here as a person – you have no say in your arrival or what you arrive with – but it is up to you to make something of it. And, if I can help other people get along, then it will help me get along.

This is what I ‘made’ today …. I decided to write to Andrew Jones, Harrogate & Knaresborough MP. Believe it or not, the right to a trial before imprisonment is still not available for people fleeing strife in foreign lands. Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/; Medieval Latin meaning literally “that you have the body”) is a recourse in law through which a person can report an unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court and request that the court order the custodian of the person, usually a prison official, to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether the detention is lawful. The right to a fair trial – for only crossing a border – is still being denied to thousands by the British Government.

Dear Andrew Jones,

There is growing criticism of Britain for being the only EU country without a statutory time limit for the detention of immigrants, including criticism by the UN Human Rights Council. Every year the Home Office locks up tens of thousands of people – including survivors of torture, trafficking and rape – and gives them no idea when they will be freed. The lack of a time limit destroys mental health. Self-harm, suicide attempts and deaths are common. This is state-sanctioned suffering on a vast scale.

Survivors of torture, trafficking and rape are among the tens of thousands held in overcrowded centres – for months, or even years – where a recent investigation uncovered “widespread self-harm and attempted suicides”.

The Home Office has paid £21.2m to migrants it unlawfully detained over the past five years, laying bare its “chaotic decisions” it was alleged.

Now campaigners believe a looming immigration bill offers a fresh opportunity for MPs to pass an amendment to impose a strict 28-day limit. Will you back this movement?

“A stain on our democracy”

– Andrew Mitchel, Former International Development Secretary

Almost 30,000 people are detained each year in the centres, with several hundred held for longer than one year. One person was held for more than four years, according to The Independent. I don’t think it’s right to hold people in detention indefinitely. It’s wrong in principle and this is an issue that really matters.

A suspension of Habeas corpus in this day and age, Andrew Jones? Really?

Half of immigrants leaving detention centres end up being released into the community – rather than deported – where monitoring them cost 80 per cent less, according to the latest figures.

Will you back a 28-day limit if it is supported by a fresh independent review into the welfare of immigration detainees, to be published in June by Stephen Shaw, a former prisons and probation ombudsman?

Most British people would be surprised to find out it is possible to be detained indefinitely in this country – something that goes back to Habeas corpus. I would like to see Britain use methods that have proven to be effective in other countries – such as Sweden – if Stephen Shaw says any consequences with a 28-day limit can be overcome. Will you add your voice?

“Indefinite detention is not only cruel, but costs hundreds of millions of pounds.”

– Afzal Khan, Shadow Immigration Minister

I will re-iterate my point: will you back a 28-day limit if it is supported by a fresh independent review into the welfare of immigration detainees, to be published in June by Stephen Shaw, a former prisons and probation ombudsman? Or, will you blindly suspend Habeas corpus, unlawfully, for another year?

Yours faithfully,

Top Ten Christmas Hymns

From The Desk Of Pastor Mech Christmas celebrations bless us with glorious music. This past season’s choir selections, instrumentalists and children’s programs kept me smiling and gave me warm memories to see me through the coming winter. One of the relatively unchanging elements of Christmas at Immanuel is our Christmas Eve festival of Readings, Carols and Candlelight. Most every year we sing the same beloved hymns, and I am fine with that tradition. Yet several people asked whether some of…

Dwelling Among Us Still

An encouraging word from Immanuel’s Stewardship Board. Originally published in the January 2019 Epistle Newsletter. It is no secret that God calls us to be generous with the gifts He has given us. Throughout the Bible, we read that just as God has generously given to us, so are we to give generously one to another. As Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35) and…
