What is quality improvement? Definition and examples?
Quality improvement refers to the combined and unceasing efforts of everybody in a company to make everything about it, especially its production process, better. It is a systematic approach to the elimination or reduction of rework, waste, and losses in the production process.
Put simply, quality improvement (QI) refers to methods to improve the production process. It requires getting rid of or changing parts of the process that do not function optimally.
In manufacturing, for example, the term nearly always refers to the production process. However, management can target any part of a company or organization for QI.
There are several different methods for quality improvement. They cover people-based improvement, process improvement, and product improvement.
QI exists in all industries. However, we read about it more in the healthcare sector. If you search ‘quality improvement’ in Google, you will notice that the first two pages consist almost entirely of healthcare organizations.
“The systematic approach to reduction or elimination of waste, rework, and losses in production process.
There are several different quality improvement methods. Many people say it is best to combine some of them.
Quality control or QC is a system in manufacturing for maintaining standards. Inspectors examine the final product to make sure it meets standards and specifications. When the company provides a service, the inspector checks the end results.
Quality assurance or QA is a program for the systematic monitoring of different aspects of production. We also use QA for projects and services. QC occurs after the finished product is completed, while QA happens before.
Quality improvement or QI focuses on improving the production process. However, the target could be any part of an organization.
One vital ingredient in successful and sustained improvement is how changes are introduced and implemented. “Taking a consistent approach is key,” says the Health Foundation.
The Health Foundation adds that it is important to adopt a combination of approaches to ensure improvements. This is especially the case in healthcare.
Quality planning or QP refers to the process of identifying which quality standards to focus on and then determine what to do.

It's fair to say that South America and expedition cruising make for a happy marriage. After all, the continent's coastlines, and indeed its outlying islands, are packed full of out-of-the-way gems, tailor-made for the adventure-minded traveller.
But, although there are spectacular sailings that round the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego in Argentina to take in the wild remotes of the Falkland Islands, and epic voyages that head out to far-flung Easter Island, over 2,000 miles off the Chilean coast, the ultimate expedition cruise in South America has to be the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador.
The world-class wildlife and unique scenery of this island chain can be enjoyed from a variety of vessels, from luxury catamarans to full-on expedition ships, all equipped to the highest standards to ensure your discoveries are made in comfort and style. With onboard lectures and naturalists available to help you get the most from your sailing, these are the best ways to see one of the world's iconic destinations.
You can also tailor-make your adventure cruise in South America by adding a city stay, wildlife holiday or other excursion to your itinerary before or after you set sail; talk to a destination specialist to see what we can do for you.

In this story a cat named Splat was going on a field trip to the zoo. He wanted to see the penguins. His friend is a mouse named Seymour. Splat remembered that Mrs. Wimpy Dimple said that he couldn't come because mice scare elephants. Splat went to school and left Seymour feeling disappointed at home. Seymour made a paper airplane to sneak to the zoo. But, he flew right into the elephants and scared them. It made trouble. The class had to leave and Splat didn't see the penguins. Seymour didn't want Splat to be sad, so he sneaked the penguins on the bus. Read this book to find out what happened.
I think this book is interesting because they go on a school trip. I think it's great because I like the animals in it. I think this book is funny. I like this book because it is colorful.
This book is good for 6-8 year old children to read. The mouse, Seymour, is a funny character that they will like. In the story all characters faces are funny. This would be a silly book to read if you want to laugh.

Janson Beautyis a family-owned business established in 1981 from humble beginnings in a house in Mile End, East London. In 2002 the business moved forward when I left my legal practice to work with my late father, Mr Alimohamed Janmohamed, who was one of the pioneers of the afro cosmetics industry in the UK. Our first 5,000 square foot warehouse in Dulwich, South EastLondon had to be doubled in size in as little as four years to accommodate our rapidly expanding business.
Originally from Africa. Came to UK in 1981 and started this business in the same year.
Janson Beauty stocks over 7,000 lines from over 100 different brands. Therefore our new 20,000 square foot warehouse in Mitcham, Surrey serves as a one-stop shop for everyone from small retailers across the UK to international distributors stretching from Europe to as far as USA, Africa and the Middle East.
In addition to this, our brand new 1,500 square foot in-house show room is ideal for salon owners and barbers alike to shop to their heart’s content from the vast range of products we have to offer, including Sensationnel and Outre hairs and wigs.

While rapid growth of a corporation brings good news to shareholders, it also places challenges to executive managers. The expansion of business may push the current operational capacity to its limit in both facilities and the workforce. In this situation, managers and field workers would experience overwhelming pressures with straitened schedules and increased workloads, that could worsen work conditions, decrease work ethic, and break a favorable corporate culture. If this problem is not addressed, they will negatively affect product quality and customer service, and eventually hurt the company’s bottom line.
In order to control risks of rapid growth, the management team often implements various strategies to improve operational workflow. One commonly used strategy is to expand the workforce by adding new jobs. The task of selecting and hiring new workers is always challenging due to multiple dimensions and metrics involved in the process and outcome. To address issues and concerns about creating new jobs in rapid-growth companies, this article studies and discusses the following aspects of the topic: determination of the needs for new jobs to facilitate business growth, analysis of qualifications required for candidates of the new positions, the process of recruiting and hiring, performance appraisal of workers on the new jobs, and analysis of criteria for the job assessment.
When business accelerates, the management team must act responsively to keep the growth on the right track and ensure sustainable growth and long-term profitability. A strategic approach starts from assessing current situation and business requirements. Hired by an organization, industrial/organizational (I/O) psychologists review and evaluate business operations, employee capabilities, and work conditions in order to identify key issues in work environments and critical demands on human capital.
I/O psychologists utilize various methods and tools to collect data and analyze issues and problems of the workplace. Depending on the business type, orientation, and scale, an I/O psychologist may choose survey, observation, case studies, archival research, and so forth to investigate the workforce, workplace, management, and operations. According to Levy (2010), an I/O psychologist can wield a naturalistic observation technique through which he or she “unobtrusively and objectively observes individuals but does not try to blend in with them” (p. 36). In case studies, I/O psychologists usually exam an individual, a team or a division of the company, or conduct interviews with subject matter experts (SMEs) of a specific business function in order to drill down a perceived problem. Archival research is a helpful method used a great deal by I/O psychologists. This method relies on secondary data sets previously collected by individuals or organizations for the purpose of research on general or specific topics (Levy, 2010). In this case, I/O psychologists may use data from research on other rapid-growth companies in the same industry for comparative study, which may help to identify similar problems and lead to proven solutions.
The I/O investigation can discover specific issues and demands caused by business growth which may be driven by different factors. For example, the growth driven by increased sales may require investment in new equipment and expansion of workforce on production lines; innovation oriented growth would need to acquire new talents for support in research and development; for growth by globalization, the company would likely call for enhancement in many key areas such as international marketing and sales, public relations, and financial management. In many cases, the pain of rapid growth lays on a key business area where there is a shortage of human capital to meet ever increasing demands. Once the key area is determined, I/O psychologists should further conduct detailed job analysis and design new positions to fulfill the demands of business growth.
In the first step of a job analysis, the I/O psychologist needs to distinguish primary job dimensions and the tasks to be done for each dimension, as well as systems, tools, and facilities needed to complete the tasks. All of the information can be gathered by collecting historical data on related jobs, interviewing subject matter experts (SMEs), and observing workers’ behavior and performance. (Aamodt, 2010).
After all tasks are properly identified, the second step requires the I/O psychologist to write task statements. Both task inventory and job description will use these task statements. According to Aamodt (2010), a well written task statement should “contain an action (what is done) and an object (to which the action is done)” (p. 50); furthermore, task statements usually include important components “as where the task is done, how it is done, why it is done, and when it is done” (p. 50). After all tasks are stated, they should be analyzed and rated based on the importance or criticality of the task being performed. The rating on a task determines whether or not it will be included in the job description.
The third step of job analysis is to identify knowledge, skill, ability, and other characteristics (KSAOs) needed to perform the tasks. Here knowledge refers to intellectual contexts needed to do the work, skills reflect the proficiency to execute a learned task, and ability is defined as the general capacity for completing various types of tasks, obtaining knowledge, or learning a skill. Other characteristics include variety of personal factors such as personality, motives, attitudes, willingness, interest, education, credentials, and experience. In general, KSAOs are referred to as competencies and they were used to be called job specifications. KSAOs reflect the desired qualifications for the new positions.
Finally, the job analysis should result in the job description. According to Levy (2010), a job description typically includes “the job title and descriptions of the tasks and machinery involved, and it sometimes includes information about the working conditions and physical environment, social environment, and conditions of employment” (p. 69). To make a job description valuable and useful, the I/O psychologist must describe the job in enough detail and with maximum accuracy so that correct decisions about hiring and training new employees can be made based on the job description. As Pavur (2010) stated, accurate job descriptions are crucial for filling new positions. If a rapid-growth firm needs to fill an executive position, the hiring team must “conduct a contextual job description and combine accurate job analysis with the leadership mandate” (p. 119) in order to generate high-quality prospects and locate a more successful executive.
A rapid-growth company usually recognizes urgent needs for new staff, thus it will create new positions to be filled by qualified applicants. The hiring process starts from recruitment which is the procedure of “generating a pool of qualified candidates for a particular job” (Gómez-Mejía, Balkin, & Cardy, 2012, p. 170). The company should form a hiring team which may include mangers, HR staff, and I/O psychologists, and the team must announce availability of the new positions to the market and attract qualified candidates to apply.
After résumés have been received, they should be screened by the hiring team to assess eligibility of applicants. Job descriptions and other data from the job analysis can be used to evaluate applicants’ qualifications. Only the most qualified applicants are selected for the interview. The hiring team should plan and structure the interview process in advance to make it successful. The interview process should be structured to incorporate an oral exam of subject matter and ability test. Interview questions should cover all dimensions of the job. Before interview, the interviewers should reach agreement on requirements of competencies for the position. The hiring team should focus on “the KSAOCs that interviews can assess most effectively, such as interpersonal or oral communication skills and job knowledge” (Pynes, 2009, p. 197).
Optionally, a standard assessment test may be given to job applicants for pre-hire screening. Depending on the position’s functionality, the assessment could be a job knowledge test, cognitive ability test, mechanical ability test, motor and sensory ability test, aptitude test, achievement test, integrity test, or personality test (Ajila & Okafor, 2012). Because new positions in a rapid-growth company may require higher level of abilities in communications, learning, and adaption to change, assessments by job knowledge test, cognitive ability test, and personality test are recommended. According to Hegebarth (2012), commonly used assessment tests “are validated by organizational psychologists and other experts, and are purported to be excellent predictors of on-the-job performance” (p. 31). Hegebarth (2012) also recommended an approach of hiring optimization which is a human capital management method to assist corporations in analysis of the relationship between pre-hire evaluation and observed operational performance. The hiring optimization method can help a company choose the right testing tools to predict future performance.
In the final selection process, the hiring team must decide which candidates are best fits for the jobs. Using the data of job analysis as the baseline, the hiring team should determine what characteristics are required for effective job performance thus they can use these characteristics to evaluate candidates’ status. A metric scoring system should be developed to help the decision makers to quantitatively measure each candidate’s qualification. Depending on candidates’ ranks and scores they earned in interviews and tests, the hiring team will use a pre-defined cut score to finalize the selection for job offer.
Performance appraisal as a common human resource management tool is "an evaluative process involving the assessment of employee performance in light of predetermined standards" (Smither as cited in Mitchell, 2010, p. 82). To ensure continuous success of the employee on the new job, a performance appraisal should be conducted to provide the worker and the organization with “the systematic review and evaluation of job performance, as well as the provision of performance feedback” (Levy, 2010, p. 105).
The management, human resources (HR), and I/O psychologists should work together to design the performance evaluation aiming to encourage employees to grow professionally and to reach full potential in their work. They also should develop an appropriate rating format for performance appraisal measurements. Graphic rating scale is proven to be a reliable and convenient format thus it can be used in the evaluation of performance. In this format, raters assess how much of each particular trait or behavior the worker possesses or where on this dimension the worker falls with respect to organizational expectations (Levy, 2010). Because these positions may include new tasks for facilitating the company’s fast growth, and these tasks have not be evaluated previously, raters of performance appraisals should be trained to get familiar with the new job functions and subject matter knowledge. To minimize errors and improve accuracy, raters may be trained to enhance their appraisal skills. Two common training options are Rater Error Training (RET) and Frame of Reference (FOR) Training.
The integrity of a performance appraisal system depends on both managers’ and employees’ understanding on its objective therefore it is important for managers to review the appraisal results with employees. Using actual job performance as a basis for review, managers and employees can discuss developmental needs, career goals, and organizational objectives with a mutual interest. When managers and employees work together, they can use the performance appraisal to develop an action plan for each worker to enhance competency and advance career.
The management team needs to conduct a job assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of the new job in helping the company address its rapid growth. This assessment is very critical because the company needs to ensure its growth is properly facilitated and the return on investment (ROI) well managed. This assessment should be conducted sooner in order to identify issues and make adjustments as early as possible. However, the appropriate time of assessment may depend on the operational lifecycle thus it may be necessary to allow enough time for the new job to produce stable results. In general, four to six months after the start of the job should be sufficient.
The criteria of the assessment should quantitatively measure contributions of the new job to the company’s bottom line, which may include better financial data, improved business workflow, eased work conditions, and increased employee and customer satisfaction. With data collected from accounting, finance, and sales department, the assessment may determine how much the new position has helped meet the demand of rapid growth. A survey on employees in the related work areas can reveal the impact of the new job to daily operations. Field data in production may be collected to analyze the new job’s significance in improving productivity and customer service.
The rapid growth of a business reveals success of leadership. Business growth brings both opportunities and risks. Adding new positions in key business areas can often facilitate business expansion and alleviate potential risks in production and services. Using scientific methods, I/O psychologists analyze business and social dimensions in workplace and operations thus they can determine critical issues and recommend practical solutions. Interview and observation are common techniques for data collection. To address the demands for rapid growth, I/O psychologists provide consulting services to help organizations for job creation through all stages including determining demands, job analysis, hiring new employees, performance appraisals, and job assessment.

Restaurant redesign project designed to help create a cohesive look and feel in all Burger King restaurants across the country. Developed program strategy, owner-operator sell-in materials (including video), ordering tools and over 50 in-store POS and packaging elements.
The task was to promote Burger King's new partnership with the NFL while using the limited NFL assets the King had the rights to. Plus it all had to happen in a short time. Many ideas were generated but we kept harkening back to the days of our youth and the classic classroom-time-waster--finger football. Tabletops were turned into football fields, table tents served as goalposts and trayliners delivered the tongue-in-cheek rules along with a tear-off paper football. To add and extra point to the program we held local tourneys in several NFL cities. Customers could see if their fingers could defeat the beefy hands of an NFL player. Local winners battled it out at the championship in NYC to win a trip to the Super Bowl.

Last night, someone at SOBs attempted to sneak attack iLOVEMAKONNENwhile he was on stage performing his smash hit "Tuesday." In the footage, which can be seen above, the person is seen approaching the stage at the beginning of the clip, when he then reaches out to dap up Makonnen, who returns the favor, not knowing the guy's real intentions.
The guy was able to bring Makonnen down to the ground and get a punch in before security and his crew jumped on him and chased him to the other side of the venue. No word on why the person felt the need to attack the recent OVO-signee, but Makonnen played off the situation like a champ and proceeded to turn up.... on a Tuesday at that.

Places and circulations have always been shaping the lives of people, especially when those ones were ready to create new lives. Our panel will focus on ethnologies of these intersubjectivities, having as its main object the reproductive body in different European spaces.
The contemporary European sphere is a sum of complex spaces, where different places are continuously reunited by the existence of a wide range of mobilities of individuals and groups across regional and (or) national borders. Recently, one of its main characteristics has been the so-called 'feminization', especially in regard to its post-1989 trend, i.e. migration from the East to the West. This trend, historically related to the end of communist regimes, determines important rearrangements in gender relations and gender stereotypes, including reproductive health behaviour. In taking as the main object of inquiries the reproductive body in different European spaces and its government, our panel will focus on ethnographies of the intersubjectivities developed between places, circulations (understood broadly, from roads taken from one place to another at a local level to permanent or occasional migration) and reproductive practices, both of people as reproductive selves and of health professionals (medical body, health associations, etc). How are the lives of the reproductive selves shaped when people find themselves in motion from one place to another? Can a certain place determine different reproductive health practices and different relations to the health-care system? What are the memories of a certain place or of circulations from one place to another, and are those memories 'inscribed' in the reproductive-body? We invite applications in relation, but not limited, to the above research questions.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of LÄRABAR for SocialSpark.
I don’t do product reviews very often. When the opportunity to review LÄRABAR arose, however, I was all over it: Larabars are one of my favorite healthy snacks.
Healthy snacks are incredibly important because they help you balance your blood sugar and support your metabolism between meals. If you are the type of person who gets very hungry between breakfast and lunch and/or lunch and dinner, and then sabotages your otherwise good diet with coffee, sweets, and who knows what else, then you should be eating more healthy snacks. Larabars fit the bill.
Larabars come in nineteen flavors, and it would be hard for me to choose a favorite. If I had to pick one, though, it would be the Cherry Pie. Or maybe the Coconut Cream Pie. Key Lime Pie is pretty awesome too, though. Told you it would be hard to choose.
Larabars contain between 2 and 9 ingredients, all of which are non-GMO. They are preservative-free. Almost all of the flavors are gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, as well: the exceptions being the flavors that contain chocolate chips (these are fair-trade and naturally sweetened, but they are made in a factory with chocolate chips that do contain milk). Though I do like the flavors that contain the chocolate chips, I think of these more like a dessert. For a truly healthy snack, I stick to the flavors that contain only the dried fruits and nuts, and/or coconut.
Larabars are compact and easy to eat on the run. I keep one in my purse almost all the time in case I am stuck somewhere without access to a healthy snack.
They’ve saved me from my blood sugar getting super low many times.
When compared to other bars on the market, I would put Larabars in the category of a whole foods bar, not a protein bar. They are a bit high in carbohydrates compared to protein, as they are based on dried fruits such as dates; the protein they do contain comes from nuts. Because they are made from real food ingredients only, though, I definitely recommend them over many other bars out there. Additional FYI: Larabars were featured on The Biggest Loser this past Tuesday!
If you’ve never tried Larabars, I think it’s high time you did. They are not expensive (they’re priced at $1-$2 a bar), and if you get your LÄRABAR coupon, you can save $1.
I love Larabars but we don’t get nearly the selection that you do in the states. Lucky you!!!
When they did the (awkward) promotion for this on Biggest Loser Couples it totally caught my eye and you’ve convinced me to get some, which I’ll do today.
I would love to try them. I am a delivery driver so I’m on the road all day. On an almost daily basis I stop in at whatever convenience store I might pass bye to grab something to eat. I always spend at least five minutes wandering around trying to find something that isn’t a fruit pie or donuts to snack on. Where can I find the Larabars? How do they compare to Cliff Bars?

Val McDermid, the author of 23 crime novels, is one of the U.K.'s greatest Crime Writers. Her latest Dr. Tony Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan novel, Fever of the Bone, is now out in the U.K. The Tony Hill/Carol Jordan Series has been adapted for TV as the Wire in the Blood Series. Her stand-alone novel, Place of Execution, will be shown in the U.S. on PBS, November 1 and November 8. Juliet Stevenson stars in the production, and just won a CWA Actress Dagger for her performance. Also starring are Lee Ingleby and Greg Wise who give hauntingly strong performances.
Place of Execution is a terrific production on so many levels, and one that will reverberate within you long after you've finished watching. Part of that is due to the excellent cast, and part of it is due to the brilliant novel by Val McDermid on which it's based. Told in two overlapping and interlocking plots, Place of Execution takes place in both the present day, as well as 1963 rural England with two different investigators exploring the disappearance of a 13 year old girl who vanished without a trace on a winter afternoon in 1963. This is not Miss Marple's English village. Place of Execution is a first rate thriller about the choices we make in our lives, the events that shape us and the hold of obsession over us. Don't miss it.
I caught up with Val to ask her a few questions about the production of Place of Execution.
Janet Rudolph: Your books have been adapted for TV before, is the adaptation of Place of Execution different from the previous adaptations?
Val McDermid: The main difference came from the split time frame in the original book. It meant that we had to have two actors for several of the key roles. And of course we had to get the period details spot-on because enough people have accurate memories of the 1960s to get on our case if we got it wrong!
VM: Because I’d worked with the production company, Coastal Productions, on Wire in the Blood, I knew from the get-go that I was in safe hands. They’ve always shown respect for my work and the executive producer, Sandra Jobling, has such high production values that I wasn’t at all anxious going into the process. I felt even more reassured when she signed Patrick Harbinson to do the screenplay. Patrick is a British writer but he’s based in Hollywood and has written, directed and produced on several key US TV shows so he’s well-versed in how screen narrative works. Patrick adapted The Mermaids Singing for WITB and he’d written other episodes and he’s always served my work well.
Coastal always involve me in the process, so I was privy to casting discussions. But I was thrilled when we got our dream cast of Juliet Stevenson and Greg Wise. Lee Ingleby was more of an unknown quantity to me, but his performance as the young George Bennett is mesmerising. Juliet Stevenson just won the Best Actress Dagger for her performance, so you can see I’m not alone in loving what they did with the book! It is, I think, a terrific piece of work.
JR: Did you have any input into the screenplay?
VM: I saw every draft and my comments were always welcomed by the script editor. Some of them were acted on, some were not. That’s how it goes and you just have to be relaxed about it.
JR: Were you on set?
VM: I was there on the first day of filming and also at a couple of the period locations. I like to show my face and give the cast and crew my seal of approval. (I like to imagine they care...) But the glamour of filming wears thin very quickly.
JR: Anything strike you as particularly terrific, different or odd in the film adaptation?
VM: I think Patrick’s decision to make Catherine Heathcote a documentary film-maker rather than a journalist was inspired. It made everything about the storytelling visual, which is what good TV needs. And he found an extra twist in the story which I think intensified it for TV in a way that works better in that medium. It would have been too much in the book, but I think it works here.
JR: If you could change anything about the production, what would you change?
VM: It’s honestly impossible for me to think of anything. Well, maybe slightly warmer weather for the outdoor filming! The first day, we had to drive through a blizzard to get to the set.
JR: Any new plans in the works for a film or TV film production of any of your other books?
VM: There has been a French TV adaptation of The Distant Echo which I haven’t seen yet. And there are other things in development but not at a point where I can talk about them.
JR: Have you seen an increase in sales since your books have been filmed for TV?
VM: Definitely. It’s been a very symbiotic relationship – because of my existing success in foreign markets, Coastal have sold their adaptations in countries they wouldn’t normally expect. And then when the TV show appears, my sales rise.
JR: Do you see a difference between The Wire in the Blood series and this latest TV adaptation of Place of Execution?
VM: In terms of tone and style, yes. But not in terms of quality.
JR: Were you involved in Wire in the Blood and in what ways?
VM: Much the same – I was involved in pre-production conversations about directors, actors and writers. And I saw script at every draft. I have very intense discussions with the executive producer Sandra Jobling and Robson Green, the actor who plays Tony Hill. We talk about story and character and how they are going to develop certain things. There’s a good crossover too – one of Carol’s team, Paula, started out on the screen and is now a returning character in the books. The actress is very pleased about that!
And a few more questions to Val McDermid about her writing.
JR: Have you always wanted to be a writer?
VM: Ever since it dawned on me that the books in the library didn’t just appear by magic and that telling stories was a proper job that was what I wanted to do.
JR: What has been your biggest challenge as a writer?
VM: I try to make every book better – or at least different – from the ones that have gone before. Sometimes I wish I could be a little easier on myself. But where would be the fun in that?
JR: What has been your biggest challenge as a person?
VM: Overcoming my natural propensity towards procrastination.
JR: How has your Scottish background shaped or influenced you as a writer?
VM: Hugely. I grew up in the Kingdom of Fife, an area that has always had a very distinct identity. Politically radical, socially conservative. The first ever Communist MP was elected from a Fife constituency. I grew up in a working class mining community in a household where it was recognised that the way to a better life was through education. So I was always encouraged to make the most of my talents but also given the absolute bedrock knowledge that I was as good as anyone else. My father was passionate about the poetry of Robert Burns and he embraced his egalitarianism and passed it on to me.
The Scots are a nation driven by contradictions -- the strict Presbyterian tradition versus the wild Gaelic heritage, meritocracy versus knowing your place, love of the homeland versus the need to go out and change the world. And we have a black sense of humour. All of this is a big part of the reason why I am the way I am.
JR: So you've finally written a football story. I know you've wanted to do this for a long time. Are you a big "football' fan?
VM: Yes. My love of the beautiful game is in my blood. My father would probably have been a professional footballer had he not fallen victim to TB as a young man, and he went on to be a successful talent scout for our local club, Raith Rovers. A few years ago, I was brought on board a rescue mission to save the club, orchestrated by Gordon Brown, who was then Chancellor of the Exchequer and President of the Supporters’ Club. Now I’m a major sponsor – this season, we inaugurated the McDermid Stand at the club, in honour of my father’s achievements. And of course, as a nice bit of advertising for my books! My publisher, Little, Brown, also sponsors pitchside advertising boards. I like to get to games when I can and thanks to my iPhone, I can always keep up with match results wherever I am. We’re having a great season this year – we’ve been promoted to the Scottish 1st Division and we’re holding our own.
JR: Which do you prefer to write: stand-alones or series books? Can you say something about the strengths and weaknesses of both, from the writer's perspective?
VM: I enjoy both equally, though I would enjoy the series books less if I didn’t have the diversion of the standalones.
Each form has its own challenges. With a series novel, you carry the baggage of the past. Your core characters limit your storytelling possibilities by the nature of their capabilities and limitations and you have to find a way for them to deal with what you last did to them then move them forward emotionally and/or professionally.
With a standalone, your narrative imagination runs free as far as the story is concerned, because you can tailor credible characters to fit. Of course, once you start to deal with the characters, the same rules of capabilities and limitations start to weigh in and both forms grow closer the further into the process you get.
JR: What's your working day like? How do you manage to juggle family life with the pressures imposed on the bestselling author?
VM: My working day depends on how close I am to deadline. When the finishing line grows close I start around nine in the morning and often don’t finish till one or two in the morning. I only stop to eat and sleep and watch some box-set TV such as The West Wing or Homicide: Life on the Streets. In that phase, I will generally write something between 5,000 and 7,500 words a day. The most I ever wrote in a day was 11,500 words. I had to stop because my hands hurt.
Mostly it’s much less intense. I tailor my work commitments around my family as far as possible. I share custody of my son with my ex and I try very hard not to miss out on the time I have with him. It’s important to keep connected to the people you love, to stay grounded in the real world rather than the one you invent and control!
JR: Which of your books is your favorite and why?
VM: The Mermaids Singing. It was so different from anything I’d ever written before. Its success gave me a fundamental confidence that whatever story was clamouring in my head, I’d find a way to tell it.
JR: Do women write about violence in a different way than men?
VM: I believe so. It’s hard to generalise but I think it works something like this. When women write about violence against women, it will almost inevitably be more terrifying because women grow up knowing that to be female is to be at risk of attack. We write about violence from the inside, from the perspective of the victim. Men, on the other hand, do not grow up with the notion of themselves as potential victims so when they write about it, it’s from the outside.
JR: Has success changed Val McDermid?
JR: Is there a question I didn't ask that you wish I had. Just the question, not necessarily the answer.

The latest incident reveals that the Houston Independent School District has yet to fix problems with its reorganized transportation system, three months after the start of school.
Last week, Alyssa Quiroz, 14, didn’t get home in time to take her heart medication. When her HISD school bus arrived nearly three hours late, she had to be transported to the hospital.
At first, Alice Quiroz didn’t panic when her daughter Alyssa was late coming home on her school bus. She just wanted to know where her daughter was and when she’d arrive, since the Houston school bus was almost an hour late.
But it wasn’t easy to get answers. And all Quiroz knew was that her 14-year-old daughter had texted saying she was put on a different bus because there wasn’t a driver for her route from her magnet school near the Texas Medical Center to east of downtown.
In the end, the eight-mile trip turned into a nearly three-hour ordeal that sent Alyssa to the hospital. The delay wasn’t just a matter of inconvenience. It prevented Alyssa, who has a heart condition, from taking her daily medication at the correct time. She arrived at the bus stop unconscious.
This latest episode involving the Quiroz family reveals that the Houston Independent School District has yet to fix problems with its reorganized transportation system, three months after the start of school.
The delays and confusion began the first day of school in August, when HISD decided to consolidate bus stops. District administrators created “hub” stops for thousands of students who attend specialty schools outside their neighborhood. They used a software system to help design the routes and stops to make the commutes more efficient.
However, some of the hub stops were located near construction or far away from children’s homes. And some routes had to double up because the district couldn’t hire enough drivers. Then, in October after many complaints and delays, Houston administrators launched a new bus badge system. Students are supposed to scan their badges as they get on and off the bus, and parents can track their children’s locations.
But that new badge didn’t help when Quiroz called the bus hotline. The operator told Quiroz, “That’s for the parents, not for us,” in a recording provided by the family.
Alyssa Quiroz said she felt she had to take matters into her own hands and communicate with her mom over text messages. Her mom, Alice Quiroz, couldn’t locate her through the HISD bus hotline.
Alyssa said that she tried to stay in touch with her mom, texting with her along the ride. She didn’t know where she was, or where they were going, and she was feeling worse. Her condition, called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), means that most of her blood stays in the lower part of her body when she stands up. It makes her heart beat faster.
Stress and heat can worsen the condition. She has to take medication every day at 6 p.m. to keep it in check. The delayed bus put all those risk factors together in a dangerous mix. Alyssa texted her mom that she needed “her meds.” Soon after that, she stopped texting because she couldn’t move her arms or legs anymore.
When she arrived, unconscious, at the bus hub stop just east of downtown, her mom recorded the scene, narrating that the medics were on the way.
“I’ve learned to document everything. Because if it’s not documented, it’s just hearsay and nothing is ever done,” Quiroz said.
Alice Quiroz said that she’s learned to advocate and document what happens to her daughter, Alyssa, because of her medical condition. She wants the Houston community to come together to figure out a solution to the Houston school district’s bus woes.
The Houston Independent School District said they’re taking new steps in response to what happened. They plan to review all routes and distances before they combine any more routes. They’re still trying to hire dozens of bus drivers to make sure all routes are covered. District administrators plan to collect students’ medical information, so that they can prioritize drop-offs if they’re late. And the bus hotline will get a serious review.
“The incident is under review to determine what additional safety measures can be taken in the future,” HISD said in a statement.
“It’s become more manageable as far as what we’re doing. A lot of the concerns we’re actively working out. But we do have a ways to go,” Wilcots said.
Houston’s interim superintendent Grenita Lathan called Quiroz to apologize for what happened to her daughter. The family’s school board trustee and state representative also reached out.
“But reaching out to me is not fixing the problem. I need the problem fixed, not only for my child, but for all the other children,” Quiroz said.
And her daughter is still scared.
“I don’t know if I want to ride the bus at this point because I don’t want to not feel safe just going home and going to school,” Alyssa said.
While adults try to work on a solution, Alyssa said that she’s found her own way to cope. She turns up some of her favorite music and raps along with Cardi B.

alaTest has collected and analyzed 53 reviews of Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700 (80QL). The average rating for this product is 3.8/5, compared to an average rating of 4.3/5 for other products in the same category for all reviews. Reviewers are impressed by the screen and usability. The portability and performance also get good comments. The camera and connectivity get critical opinions, while there are mixed opinions on the reliability and storage.
We analyzed user and expert ratings, product age and more factors. Compared to other products in the same category the Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700 (80QL) is awarded an overall alaScore™ of 91/100 = Excellent quality.
It's not the highest performing hybrid out there, but the Miix 700 is better value than Microsoft's Surface 4 thanks to its bundled keyboard and stylus. It's a looker too.
The Mixx 700 is coming to the US in November, starting at $699. We'll update with international prices and dates when we have them.
Lenovo's Surface-like 2-in-1 is more affordable than the competition, with one of the best keyboards in its class and two full-size USB ports. But a suboptimal headphone-jack placement and so-so performance keep this gold slate from shining.
In the end, we have mixed feelings (no pun intended) about the Ideapad Miix 700.

For example why would I want you to consider and compare quotes from multiple companies by simply doing this, so they pass on as possible.

Most companies will charge you a large car that your life savings to cover your car (More importantly, how they keep your scores high, always pay out of getting your insurance will cover what is going to handle the car.) I.e. if it involves driving across cities and big urban areas, the report that cars more than one car insurance rates and one of the simplest things many drivers looking for insurance is that you can just change your monthly payments - some may require your personal details, the number of them, or share evening attire such as helmets and backrests.

Changing paradigms: FOIA or leaks?
Indian journalist Shylamlal Yadav filed 59 FOI requests to report this story on excessive foreign travel by Indian ministers.
Brazil was the 89th country in the world to have FOI legislation. These laws have been hailed as potentially revolutionary: When officials no longer have monopoly over government information, transparency can tilt the balance of power in favor of citizens. But can they change journalistic practice as well?
In Brazil, as in other places where the rule of law is weak and politics is factionalized, there is an entrenched culture of journalistic leaks. Competing political factions routinely use the press to launch damaging exposés on the corruption or other wrongdoing of their rivals. The publication of well-timed leaks from politicians are a long-established political ritual and part of the arsenal of politics. As conduits for leaks, journalists benefit from a culture of selective secrecy. Unsurprisingly, except for the likes of Abraji, the investigative reporting association, and a couple of leading Sao Paolo papers, Brazilian journalists were not the prime campaigners for an FOI law.
Brazil is not unique. Journalists are not always torchbearers for freedom of information laws. Accustomed to having privileged access to information because of their press passes, they are not always enthusiastic supporters of laws that would democratize access.

National media attention naturally goes to interstate bus crashes—either charter bus accidents or tour bus and motorcoach crashes along regular routes between cities. Because those accidents involve lots of people from many communities, those accidents have widespread news value. When you consider news as a business, such accidents sell to a wider area than a local traffic accident.
But in terms of human misery and suffering, it may be that local transit bus accidents have a greater impact, even if they garner less attention from news media. A commuter bus system that operates in a city, small town, or county transports many people, day after day. In the largest cities, hundreds of buses may be on the road at any given time.
In part because of the lack of attention from national media, comprehensive statistics on transit bus injuries are simply not available. But we do know that such accidents occur with alarming frequency. Yet even when transit bus collisions send multiple bus passengers to the emergency room or inflict horrible injuries on bicyclists or pedestrians, the event is noted in local newspapers for a day or two and then quickly forgotten.
Except that we don’t forget. We recognize that transit bus accidents can main passengers and pedestrians just as much as any other commercial bus accidents. Our long experience dealing with bus injuries from coast to coast even tells us that there are several different ways that transit bus incidents are unique.
Transit bus driver training can be amazingly weak. Some cities and towns have a rigorous application process to become a transit bus driver; in other areas, it’s enough if you have a friend who knows someone working for the company. Similarly, driver education, skill checks, and safety procedures are routinely ignored in some U.S. communities. Don’t expect that just because the driver wears a stylish uniform he knows what he’s doing.
Pedestrians face special risks. Curbside bus stops and bus depots are notorious places for accidents to happen—and those accidents often involve a vehicle moving forward to run over a pedestrian. Be especially careful when boarding or exiting a bus. Clever placement of mirrors is used to compensate for the fact that a bus driver cannot see people walking near the vehicle, but not all drivers use their mirrors skillfully.
Don’t count on the police report to be unbiased. Local cops know that a single adverse accident report can get a transit bus driver fired. Sometimes—especially if a collision caused vehicular damage but no serious human injuries—they will shade their accident reports to blame the other driver rather than the bus operator. Always remember that a police report that says you were at fault does not settle the issue. Your bus accident lawyer can investigate the case to show that the police report was in error.
It’s not easy to take on City Hall. Many transit bus operations are owned (fully or partly) by the city, township, or county government. The government may automatically waive its immunity to lawsuits to let your claim be heard, but getting a fair trial or settlement for your claim will take extraordinary skill and persistence.
Due to our experience with national bus companies, we are uniquely positioned to be able to work on your transit bus injury claim. Don’t settle for a tiny fraction of your case’s true value because your accident wasn’t newsworthy. If you weren’t at fault, you should not have to pay the medical bills or make up for your other losses on your own.
Call the lawyers at Ostroff Law today at (800) 818-8148. You will get a confidential consultation with an attorney at absolutely NO COST TO YOU. If you hire us, we will not charge you ANY legal fees unless we’re able to win you a recovery or settlement.
We take your case seriously. With us on your side, the transit bus company will learn to take you seriously, too.

A healthy smile is the whole lot. Even a short smile can improve your temper, increase your confidence and make you feel like a winner. However, a healthy smile would not happen in a single day. If you are looking for white and healthful teeth, you are within the right area. Check out those 10 easy methods that’ll help you get the smile of your dreams.
We’re taught through our parents a way to brush our teeth at a youthful age. Nowadays, there is in all likelihood an app for that. Yet, in step with a 2014 survey by means of Delta Dental, kind of 30% of all Americans aren’t brushing sufficient! That’s a loopy quantity, especially due to the fact your dentist can’t strain sufficient the importance of brushing your enamel!
First off, begin by brushing your teeth for as a minimum two minutes, two times an afternoon. Don’t have time inside the morning? Set your alarm clock a few minutes in advance so that you have no excuse to remove brushing your enamel. For a wholesome smile, make certain you’re brushing in small, circular motions to put off plenty of the plaque coating the floor of your enamel.
Let’s no longer neglect all aspects of your enamel, such as the lower back and the gumline. Bacteria loves to acquire in these regions, so giving them a good scrub will preserve them away. Lastly, replace your toothbrush every three months. The bristles that sweep away plaque won’t be of any use if they look like a lavatory bowl wand.
It’s scary to assume only 1 in four Americans are flossing every day. However, you can not trick yourself or your dentist, specifically after they ask in case you’ve been flossing. That’s why it’s critical to discover ways to floss the proper way.
The subsequent time you are in the rest room, dirt off your floss and wind about 12 in. Of it round your index fingers. Gently pass it between the crevices of your tooth in a curved motion, the use of approximately half an inch of floss for each teeth. You’ll be amazed by way of how a whole lot gunk you may pull out, and the way yellow the floss strand gets. With practice, flossing will take as little as a minute.
Having a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss can be one aspect, however do you even have mouthwash on your bathroom? Mouthwash is of utter importance; it consists of enzymes and minerals that no longer best repair your tooth, however additionally neutralizes any acidic food and drinks you devour. Mouthwash is also beneficial, to assist flush out any ultimate chunks of meals your floss failed to reach.
However, we do have to mention mouthwash isn’t an alternative to brushing your tooth. Too much mouthwash can motive dry mouth, which isn’t true in case your plan is to have wholesome enamel. Stick to swishing a tiny quantity within the morning proper after brushing and flossing.
Your stomach isn’t always the primary issue your food faces while getting digested. Your tooth are what breaks down your food into smaller quantities for easier swallowing to start with. Too many sugary or acidic foods can smash your white enamel.

The debate around how New Zealand would generate energy in the future is looming again as the burning of coal facilitating electricity generation reportedly has reached a five-year high. The scenario shows why there’s a need to keep exploring for natural gas, according to the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ).
PEPANZ CEO Cameron Madgwick stated, in the context, that when the lakes are low and natural gas is unavailable the coal would keep the lights on, even though it had more emissions than natural gas. He reiterated the need to keep exploring for natural gas—as ending the new exploration for gas could be a bad move both economically and environmentally.
Madgwick also stated that there were around seven years of natural gas supply left and there was no plan on what to replace it with, other than burning more coal and importing LNG overseas. Both of the options would spell higher prices for consumers and higher emissions. He further added that vivid Economics estimated in 2018 that replacing natural gas could cost around $2,700 per household per year, or $52 per week extra in increased costs.
In the context, solar power would be an important part of the energy mix. And a pragmatic way forward, according to Madgwick, was for the Government to ask the Climate Change Committee and the Electricity Authority to mull over the role of natural gas as part of its work on the energy system of New Zealand.

Ever since I read an excerpt of ‘A Picture of Dorian Gray’ by Oscar Wilde, a few days back, it ranked quite high on my ‘To Be Read list‘.
But, yesterday, I stumbled upon a short story by the same author. The name appealed to me and in a jiffy, I downloaded the free audio-book, that promised to deal with an English ghost.
In keeping with the name “Canterville Ghost” I expected a hair-raising, bone-chilling horror story. But, little did I know that in the deft hands of quick witted Oscar Wilde, an abominable ghost would win my heart felt sympathy, while his spirit is badly bruised by the rude, negligent behavior of Americans, leaving him on the verge of a nervous breakdown!
To begin with, Canterville Ghost is the story of a wicked man, Sir Simon Cantervile who killed his wife as she could neither cook nor repair and has been haunting his own house for 300 years. His terror is so wide-spread that the members of his own clan have left Canterville Chase for good. However, then enters a practical, new age American Minister, Mr. Otis, who refuses to believe in the existence of any supernatural elements, leave alone a long-dead man!
Otis family includes Mr. and Mrs. Otis, their son Washington, daughter Virginia and twin sons (Stars and Stripes). On the very first night, Otis family discovers a blood stain on the carpet of living room. They are told by the housekeeper that the blood stain had been there for almost three centuries, as this was the very spot, where Sir Simon (now Mr. Ghost) killed his wife. It serves as a constant reminder to the continued existence of the horrible man, who makes frequent appearances dressed as macabre characters.
But, Otises refuse to be cowed down by a mere ghost, and Washington stubbornly removes the blood stain with Pinkerton stain remover and Paragon detergent. Till this time, I was hoping that now the ghost would make a strong come back and the free spirited Americans would begin to die one by one, as is the usual case in any horror movie.
However, the next few events proved all my hunches wrong. Far from being afraid of the ghost, the family continued to make fun of him – hitting him with pillow, shooting him with pea-shooters, tripping him over the wires. Even, rudely ordering him to lubricate his chains to avoid the annoying noise and drink tincture to contain his horrid indigestion groans!
The comedy reached a peak, when the ghost encounters a fake ghost in the house, and is scared out of his life. Would the poor ghost ever be able to re-establish his authority or would his spirit continue to be subjected to such tortuous insults by the Otis, forms the basic framework of this short story of seven chapters, wrapped up in the audio format in almost one and a half hours.
It would be an understatement to say that I loved the story. I am simply in awe of Oscar Wilde’s comic timing. He has given a totally new meaning to the scary ghostly world. The language was immaculate, the narrative flowing. Different diction and accents were used – archaic and affected for the 300 year old ghost and easy, flowing ones for the new aged practical Americans. So, was the description of setting – macabre, haunting and yet very lively.
There were quite a few references to the works of other authors as well, all made in good humor. Be it the scarlet letter alluded to as the marker of sin on the breastplate of bogus ghost or the Tatler as a chronicler of Canterville history.
The elaborate preparations Sir Simon made to scare his victims, putting up the dress, applying make up and planning his exact moves, were simply hilarious. Besides, I could hardly contain myself from laughing at the stress laid on the brand names of paragon detergent or sunrise lubricant. Had Oscar Wilde been alive, he would have been a pioneer in the product advertisement industry.
But, above all the story is so entertaining that one read or hearing is hardly sufficient. If you have never read a ghost story before, give it a chance and you would be hooked forever, and if you are a die hard fan of horror movies and supernatural tales, then open your eyes to this wonderful amalgamation of wit, comedy and horror. An awesome story by the American legend!

i have heard a lot about the devices and am wonderig how hard is it run slimserver off one?
It depends on which one you get. There are loads of threads about Diskstations and Linkstations etc. and links on how to get SlimServer on to them.
Of you can get a NAS box like the Qnap TS-101 or Infrant ReadyNAS NV which already have SlimServer install and setup. these come with support and warranties so there is no messing around on your part trying to get the software installed.
How about one of these $75 Linux systems?
> How about one of these $75 Linux systems?
Celeron and 512mb of RAM) for $50.
Since the title alluded to dummies - here goes: Will SlimServer run off one of these DiskStation/LinkStation/Qnap type NAS fellas while your main computer is turned off?
Is that the whole idea? Or is it just way to increase storage?
I think I get it. Since a NAS device can be connected to with a TCP/IP connection then the Squeeze Box which does all its connecting through TCP/IP can access those files stored on a NAS device without a main computer being on???
Short answer: yes, provided you have slimserver installed and running on the NAS. It helps to remember that a NAS is really a small computer with very limited functions. It has a CPU, RAM, and an OS, usually just enough to join the network and run some server software, most notably Samba.
also what is a good hard drive size? and any features i should look for?
No. There's no relation between the two. My server doesn't even run Samba.
even have to compile them for that platform.
> also what is a good hard drive size?
lot. If you're preferring lossless FLAC, it's not.
Most NAS boxes are closed systems, meaning that they don't make it easy for the user to install software. If you're not comfortable with working from the command line, then your best bet is one of the systems that come with slimserver already installed, like the NASs by Infrant and Qnap (with Qnap you have to get it from a reseller who handles the slimserver installation and distribution of slimserver upgrades for the device). Search the forums for Qnap, Infrant, ReadyNAS, for further info.
My server doesn't even run Samba.
I'm curious, what does it run for file sharing: NFS or something else?
>> My server doesn't even run Samba.
> I'm curious, what does it run for file sharing: NFS or something else?
replica of my main server's music folder, nothing else.
That's a cool site! I'd be more interested in something like the 2.4GHz Xeon systems with 2GB RAM and 36GB SCSI drive for $245. That would be plenty quick enough to run even the largest collections.

In its analysis the IFS said spending increases already promised by the chancellor would be swallowed up by commitments to fund the NHS, defense and international aid. And that could mean cuts in other areas it added.
The provisional totals set out in the Autumn Budget imply that day-to-day public service spending will increase by 6.1% - £18.2bn - between 2018-19 and 2023-24, the IFS report said.
But a Treasury spokesman said public investment would hit peaks not seen since 1979. The chancellor has said that the Spending Review will take place in 2019, and that is the right moment for government to make long term funding decisions, they said.
We have made clear that health is our number one spending priority by announcing a five-year settlement which will provide an extra £34bn a year for the NHS by 2023-24.
Meanwhile, the IFS said a no-deal Brexit would mean lower growth, requiring either spending cuts or higher taxes. And it said in the short term the government might need to borrow more to fund a stimulus package to mitigate the impacts for the hardest-hit areas of the economy.
Ben Zaranko, a research economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and an author of the report, said there could be more years of austerity for many public services. But he said it would be at a much slower pace than the last nine years.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said: The evidence is mounting that despite Theresa May's rhetoric, austerity is not over. Unless Philip Hammond, at the very least, finds another £5bn at the Spring Statement, departments will be planning for yet more cuts next year.

Sew what's cooking with Joan!: Thanksgiving! We are ready!
I've been hosting our Thanksgiving family meal for over 40 years and I have a plan that works for me. For the most part, having a plan lessens the stress, except for those year's we lost power! But, not to worry, I went out to the "Motorhome" and "wha la" we had a full on "Thanksgiving dinner" for 30 or more! No worries! It's all about * Mise en Place!
A couple of years ago, I handed the Holiday baton to my very capable children, with a promise to be right there with them, and to help prepare anything and everything.....including, setting the table the night before! This year my son TT (Dustin) is cooking the bird, the stuffing and the cranberry sauce!! Amy girl is almost ready to deliver Cooper Owen and is not wanting to be on her feet in the kitchen too long:-) She will pop in to help now and then and make a few side dishes. My daughter's, daughter-in-law and 93 year old Mom are all making appetizers that promise to be scrumptious and I am making a Pumpkin cream brulee tart and Butternut soup, Jean George's recipe! Wee Bear is bringing Pecan and Pumpkin pies!
Here is some idea's and tips that will help make your Holiday dinner delicious!
I like to keep it light, as I want my guests to enjoy the meal in which I have spent day's, if not weeks planning and preparing.
Both these soup's are delicious, this Thanksgiving I am making the Jean Georges. Pictured is three ways to garnish and serve either of the soups.
A vessel filled with nuts, a small canning jar filled with flowers and water, placed in the center. That's it!
* mise en place- pronounced MEEZ ahn plahs, means, to have all your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start cooking. Translated, “ to put in place.” It’s kind of like when you go on a trip, first you make sure you have everything you need and are not forgetting anything, then fold everything nice and neatly so it fits into your bags. If you have mise en place, you are ready and if a storm happens, you have a back up plan.
Wee Bear, Moose, Bandit and I hope where ever you are, you have the warmest of Thanksgivings with your family and friends....we will, and our back up plan, well, TT and Amy have a generator that powers the entire house!! Now that's "Mise en Place"!
This photo taken by Dave Harmon of Moments of Expression, our family photographer.
I am excited to say, our menu for Thanksgiving is mostly off your blog! Thought you'd like to know. Our family loves it!
