A new central booking line – 0141 232 4005 – to streamline antenatal appointments is up and running throughout NHSGGC. It is part of wider changes to provide smoother and quicker access to maternity services.
Plus it will achieve the antenatal Health Improvement Efficiency Access to services and Treatment (HEAT) target of at least 80 per cent of women in each of the SIMD quintiles, securing an appointment by the 12th week of their pregnancy by April 1, 2015.
It should also lead to improvements in important health behaviours, including breast feeding rates, reducing smoking cessation rates, and substance and alcohol misuse, all leading to a positive impact on long-term public health.
By calling the number women are given an appointment with a named midwife and a scan slot. A SCI Gateway information request is then sent to the GP with details of the two appointments, asking for the information to be provided in advance of the booking appointment.
As far as possible, women will be offered appointments close to the GP, and their local hospital, to ensure improved continuity of care. There will be exceptions to the new booking system. For example if the GP considers that a patient needs to be seen very early or should be seen first by an obstetrician, the usual SCI referral can be followed.

Malcolm Hill
- School
- Position
- Guard
- Major
- Media and Cinema Studies
Malcolm Hill is excelling in the classroom, carrying a 3.0 cumulative GPA. He is a reigning Academic All-Big Ten honoree and will graduate with a bachelor's degree in media and cinema studies in May 2017.
Hill is well-liked and respected by everyone from coaches, players, athletic department staffers, rival teams, professors, classmates and young fans. He is always upbeat with a smile on his face and remains humble despite the publicity he has received for his basketball accomplishments. He almost shies away from the spotlight, not seeking out attention, and would rather be working behind the scenes. He is a model student-athlete who can always be counted on to do the right thing. He has been selected as a team captain by vote of his teammates.
Hill is the most sought-after Illini player at various community events, such as autograph sessions, kids clinics and elementary school visits. He speaks to crowds at alumni and booster club events and also to youngsters at the local Boys & Girls Club. Hill also participates annually in the Make a Wish Illinois' Walk and Run for Wishes.
Hill was a second-team All-Big Ten (coaches and media) selection last year and was named to the USBWA All-District V team. He was also on the NABC Second Team All-District 7, one of 10 finalists for Jerry West Award (nation's top shooting guard) and the first Illini ever to record 600 points, 200 rebounds and 100 assists in a single season. Hill is the only Big Ten player to lead his team in scoring, rebounding and assists on the year and was third in the Big Ten in scoring with an average of 18.1 points, the highest by an Illini in the last 13 seasons. His total of 614 points ranks sixth on UI single-season scoring list, and he scored in double figures in 31 of 34 games, with 16 games of 20+ points and four of 30+ points. Hill also shot 82.1 percent from the free throw line (eighth in B1G) and led Big Ten with 193 made free throws (18th in NCAA).

Two pairs of feet hiding under the sheet but there is also two hearts, two souls and two bodies merged to ONE.
White and red, blue and yellow a beautiful shadow of ONE new colour.
Water and coffee, sugar and cream beautiful taste in ONE cup – each morning.
I don't like counting and I am not good in math but I know two and two – though equals four – can be also ONE sometimes.

Two pairs of feet hiding under the sheet but there is also two hearts, two souls and two bodies merged to ONE.
Blogging 101, Day Four: Identify Your Audience
Let's enjoy the life! (from the shadow to the colourful life).
There was a time I shared my thoughts and feelings only with some few friends but first at all with my notebook. I felt often depressed and my best valve was writing. After I moved from the town I lived in for almost 30 years I felt more free and I found the next valve in photography. The news, the magazines and people are full of negative thoughts. The depression and bad mood like to take a walk with us so often just because we choose to be frustrated instead of blessed and thankful.
I created my blog to bring the readers nice words, hope, joy of the colours and inspirations. My native is the Slovak language. While my pictures can "speak" to everybody and to all nations I realised if I want to spread and share my thoughts and words all around the world it is the best to use the language it is the most preferred here on WordPress.com. Anybody is the most welcomed to read to look and to share anything he like. It will be always my greatest pleasure to post the next and next photos, thoughts and projects.
Blessings from the beautiful and colourful Jamaica! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ZJ7FpXiEg
Blogging 101, Day Three: Say Hello to the Neighbors
Hi, Hello, Ahojte, Sziasztok, Hallo, Zdravej, Привет, Hola, Ciao
my sincerely greetings for all bloggers and readers. I wish all of you a lot of nice readings, experiences, ideas, followers, friends and ENDURANCE because blogging requires some of your time and a lot of joy on each new project. Let keep your blog alive and though any circumstances try to come back and add some thoughts or picture. Don't let your ART forget or die.
Blogging 101, Day Two: Take Control of Your Title and Tagline
Since two years I wasn't thinking about to change my blog's name or describe it better because I thought people will make their own opinion and describtion after they visited my blog. But thanks the new "homework" from "Blogging101" I realised it is not that bad idea. I didn't want to change the title "few-words" but atleast add something and improve the describtion because the blog is since some time not only about the pictures, stories and poems. I invite all of you to check it and determine if I fulfilled my homework 🙂
Blogging 101, Day One: Introduce Yourself to the World
Hi everybody!
My name is Maria Rowe and I am a blogger since few years. This blog is my second one on wordpress.com and I thank my beloved husband to encouraging me to create it after I deleted my old one almost three years ago. I love to share nice thoughts, history, traditions, ideas, pictures and handcrafts with people they still know what is the meaning and value of the art. Anybody can find a while to stop at any post choose the one he likes the most and just relax by reading or looking at the pics. We need more quiet moments in this hectic life and not just quickly roll down the posts without thinking about what we just read or saw. Let give time to yourself and enjoy everything your eyes and heart offer to you.
Since I remember I was always a creative person and I met the beauty of the art at the very early ages. I love drawing, painting, writing, stitching, knitting, crochet and photography.
Since I have learnd the alphabet the books became my best friends.
I left my birth country Slovakia in February this year to follow my heart and start a new life on a small but beautiful island – Jamaica. I met and still meeting each day a whole different culture, people, traditions and history but I love it and I thank God each day for His will to lead me here and for protecting each of my steps.

Whelan have recently been dealing with increasing numbers of so-called 'Super Rats'
In a recent interview with the Liverpool Echo, Sean Whelan, Whelan Pest Prevention's Managing Director, said "All around Merseyside there's been a problem. We're seeing giant rats in Liverpool. They're super rats in my opinion. Access to food is so easy for them. They're like humans, they eat and eat and get bigger and bigger." Sean said: "They're becoming very resistant to bait in Liverpool. Soon we'll have to be putting third generation bait down which we will need to get legislation for."
Whelan Pest Prevention has seen a 15% increase in rat-based call-outs in the last year. Sean said a hot spot for rats, which carry potentially fatal illnesses such as Weil's disease, is Dock Road in Garston, Liverpool, where the rodents congregate near sewers. Reports of rats would normally reduce at this time of year as the weather warms up but there has been no let up in call-outs.

When business owners come to see us, wanting to sell their business, we often get involved in providing 'vendor due diligence'.
This basically involves us 'pretending' we're a buyer and has two main components:
1. Understanding what the business is really worth i.e. conducting an independent valuation or market appraisal
2. Understanding how the business appears to a potential purchaser.
That second component is the core part of vendor due diligence and involves looking at the business from a purchaser's point of view:

Minor International has announced it has agreed to acquire 30 million shares in Spain's NH Hotels in a €192-million ($225.5 million) deal that will see its ownership in the chain rise to 8.6%.
BANGKOK, 23 May 2018--Minor International ("MINT") announced today that it has reached agreement to acquire 30,000,000 shares in NH Hotel Group in a transaction valued at EUR 192 million, which together with its existing shareholding will increase MINT's stake in NH Hotel Group to 8.6% on a fully diluted basis. NH Hotel Group is the sixth largest hotel chain in Europe and this investment offers important strategic benefits to MINT which, with its deep hospitality and food & beverage experience, also brings strategic value to the NH Hotel Group. The investment demonstrates MINT's strategy of pursuing financially attractive investments which are accretive to MINT, with estimated EV/2018EBITDA of 10.6x. NH Hotel Group is on a strong growth trajectory as it has successfully enhanced operational efficiencies across its group in recent years and is also now benefitting from the improving European macroeconomic outlook, both of which have been reflected in its strengthening financial results and rising ADRs. In particular, its four main clusters, Spain, Benelux, Central Europe and Italy, have been, and will continue to be, the drivers for solid growth going forward. The investment in NH Hotel Group also marks a strategic progression given MINT's current presence in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe. The investment in NH Hotel Group is a further move into Europe by MINT following its earlier expansion into Portugal and Brazil through the acquisition of Tivoli Hotels & Resorts in 2016, and one that is complementary to the geographical footprint of MINT's pre-investment portfolio.
NH Hotel Group has a portfolio of 382 hotels and resorts with 59,350 keys spanning across 30 countries in Europe, the Americas and Africa. The Group was founded since 1978 and today has become one of the top 25 hotel chains in the world with in-depth expertise in the mid- to upscale segments. The NH and NH Collection brands have gained fast-growing recognition, particularly in Europe, with the strong potential to expand its footprint and enhance its reputation even further globally. NH Hotel Group's assets are attractive in terms of both location and quality, making the portfolio difficult to replicate. Following the investment, the properties will continue to operate under NH Hotel Group's well-known brands, including NH Hotels, NH Collection Hotels, nhow Hotels and Hesperia Resorts.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotels, commented, "This investment represents a significant milestone for Minor Hotels. We are excited by the opportunity to accelerate our global exposure with our investment in NH Hotel Group, which has a highly
complementary business and asset portfolio to MINT. The investment is financially attractive, with high liquidity on the Madrid Stock Exchange and proven performance by the business. Over the past few years, NH Hotel Group's board of directors and management team have re-invigorated the business and delivered strong business performance in line with its five-year strategic plan. As a key shareholder in the business, we look forward to supporting the management team as a strategic shareholder to continue this success and build long-term shareholder value for NH Hotel Group and its shareholders including MINT. MINT can also support the NH hotels with its food & beverage expertise where appropriate to maximize financial performance and enhance customer experience."
No management changes at NH Hotel Group are expected in connection with MINT's investment in the company. While MINT takes note that certain key shareholdings of NH Hotel Group may change ownership in the near future, MINT is confident in the underlying business of NH Hotel Group and is excited to work with the team and its fellow shareholders in the company to ensure continued delivery of strong and sustainable returns to shareholders.

GFO has learned that the Global Fund Board has turned down a recommendation to provide additional funding for a TB grant and an HIV grant in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
There has been no public announcement of the Board decision. Nor has the Global Fund made public any details concerning the amounts involved, the rationale for the recommendation, or the reasons why the recommendation was not approved.
There are two active grants in Bosnia and Herzegovina: a TB grant (BIH-T-UNDP) and an HIV grant (BIH-910-G03-H). The principal recipient for both grants is UNDP. According to the latest grant performance reports, the TB grant, which had a value of $16.4 million, was scheduled to end on 30 June 2016. It is rated A2. The HIV grant, which was worth € 21.8 million, was set to end of 30 September 2016. It is rated A1.
GFO has so far not been able to obtain additional information from the Global Fund Secretariat or information that we can publish from UNDP. No one seems to want to comment on the record.
We will attempt to provide more information in a follow-up article.

Quarterback: Joe Flacco played a near perfect game as far as throwing the ball. He made some nice passes over the middle both short and long, and showed good touch along the sidelines when the Ravens had one-on-one matchups. He is at his best when the Ravens have some type of running game and can use play-action. Flacco finished with a quarterback rating of 91.4. Grade: A
Running backs: Alex Collins didn't put up dazzling numbers, but he was effective and made the Broncos honor the running game. He also slowed their pass rush and was the primary reason the play-action passing game working. Collins finished with 68 rushing yards on 18 carries. Backup Buck Allen was effective as a receiver out of the backfield, but Collins should be the runner on short-yardage situations. Allen had three catches for 19 yards, including one for a 12-yard touchdown. Grade: B
Offensive line: This group did a good job of identifying and locating pass-rushing specialist Von Miller. The Ravens slid to Miller, giving their tackles help. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley might have had his best game of the year, and right tackle James Hurst also pass-protected well. Guards Alex Lewis and Marshal Yanda were physical at the point of attack. Grade: A-
Receivers: The Ravens' primary goal was to throw short passes and get rid of the ball quickly. But besides throwing slant-ins to Michael Crabtree and hitting Willie Snead IV over the middle with short passes, the Ravens were able to work the deep end of the field with tight end Mark Andrews and wideout John Brown. Flacco got all the receivers involved in the game. Grade: A
Defensive line: The Broncos averaged 5 yards an attempt on 24 carries, but 35 of those were on an end around by receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Overall, it was a gutsy effort by this group, which was missing starting end Willie Henry and Michael Pierce, a top reserve at tackle. The Ravens had a nice rotation with Brandon Williams, Brent Urban, Chris Wormley and Patrick Ricard. Grade: B
Linebackers: The team was without injured starter C.J. Mosley but held up well. Terrell Suggs had 1.5 sacks, and Za'Darius Smith had one sacks and four hits on the quarterback. The latter had a strong first half. Rookie Kenny Young led the Ravens in tackles with 10, and he pursued all over the field. Veteran Albert McClellan provided strong run support on first down. Grade: A
Secondary: The Ravens didn't get challenged much downfield because Denver ran a high school offense that relied on short passes. Cornerback Brandon Carr finished with six tackles, and safety Eric Weddle added five. The coverage was excellent for the most part as Broncos quarterback Case Keenum was forced to hold the ball too long on a number of occasions because no one was open. Grade: A-
Special teams: On rainy days, kickers have more impact than usual. Justin Tucker converted on two field goals, including one of 52 yards as the half expired. Sam Koch averaged 49.3 yards on four punts. But the Broncos blocked a punt and field-goal attempt. That can't happen to the Ravens against good teams. Tim White didn't fumble a punt return, which is a plus, and he returned a kickoff 37 yards. Grade: D+
Coaching: Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg called an excellent game, and defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale made some adjustments after a slow start in the first quarter. Overall, it was a strong effort all the way around by the Ravens, who game-planned well against a team with a tough running game and dynamic pass rush. Special teams need to improve. Grade: B+

Hello Spring! And goodbye to the longest and hardest winter I've ever lived. NOT AN EXAGGERATION. Now that it's (*fingers crossed*) in the rearview mirror, I can reflect and realize this winter was Difficult, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Here in the prairie province I live, in Canada, it was once of the coldest and longest winters I can recall, with snow from October til now (end of March), so we are READY for spring!! Reflecting on the winter and looking forward to the next season, I've gathered some of the things that got me through the winter and that are getting me excited for spring to share with you here! Enjoy
1. The Ennegram:
If we've talked on the phone or in person the last few weeks, I have definitely chatted your ear off about the Enneagram because I'm SOOOO intrigued by it. More nuanced then most personality tests, the Enneagram is a model of the human psyche much more in-depth then whether you're introverted or extroverted. It focuses more on the core motivation and fear of each 9 types, and ways to grow in emotional health as you grow in self-understanding. I'll be sharing a blog post specifically about the Enneagram soon, but you can learn more about it from this fantastic podcast!
2. Growing my hair out
I didn't want to maintain a super short hair cut this winter, so I've let my hair grow out and I'm really loving it! Low maintenance was where it was at this winter. I can wear headbands again (without looking like I have NO hair) now that it's past my ears, and I'm hoping to be able to pull it back by summer! In 2 weeks I go blonde again, and I think this Michelle Williams inspired cut and color will be equally low maintenance for the spring/summer. LOVE
3. Baking and cooking nonstop
One of my New Years Resolutions was to hone my skills as a cook, and learn about food from friends from different cultures. Being off social media, this may be the biggest change in my day to day life. I have so much more time to focus on cooking for my family, and some weeks I bake 3-4 times! We've cooked supper together with friends this winter, which is a really fun date, with or without the kids! I've really grown to love cooking, because I'm more focused on what I'm doing and really enjoying my time in the kitchen. Some great foods I've made this winter for the first time are pad thai, pakoras, cheesecake, buns, biscotti, mennonite "ravioli" (schwabisch maultaschen) and homemade pasta sauce!
4. Spring clothing swap
I've been doing clothing swaps for the last few years, and switching up the format each year. The first one I did (inspired by my long time friend Desiree) was held at a local clothing consignment shop. I invited 20ish women, of all ages and sizes, and they brought bags and bags and bags of clothes they wanted to part with. A few friends helped me organize the clothes (and some yummy food!) to make the "shopping" as easy as possible. The women took turns browsing the tables of clothes organized by size in small groups, trying the clothes on in between their "shopping" rounds, and we all left with some "new" clothes we LOVED! Afterwards the women were able to shop the consignment store, which made a profit, and had allowed me to use their space for free, It was such a blast. The other two swaps were at a friends house, and with a smaller group of women. I like doing the swaps in spring because every one is itching to get some shopping done, and get out of their winter clothes. You can experiment with themes (dresses/formal/casual) or inviting a lot of friends or just a few who wear the same size as you, or even do book swaps or home decor swaps! I love up cycling stuff, and shopping without spending any money is so much fun!
5. Long phone calls with people I love
Not everyone is a phone person (i.e. 99% of millennials won't answer the phone if you call them, but send a "hey! did you need something?" text two minutes later LOL) but I LOVE talking on the phone! A few Instagram friends have stayed in touch with me this way, scheduling a regular phone call so we can keep up to speed on whats going on in our lives, and it's been such a highlight of my winter. Even a few minutes on the phone, or even an audio message, with a friend or family member you haven't seen in awhile is better than nothing. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and actually call someone with it!
6. Group work out classes
Working out in groups is my favorite way to get some movement in. This winter I did a Zumba class, and a handful of aqua fit classes. I really love inviting a friend or two to do the classes with me, and focusing on how much FUN I'm having instead of calories burnt or how sore I am the next day. This is definitely pricier than say working out at home, but it's a great way to try new forms of movement. Some gyms or studios offer free classes for trying out a yoga class, or a new spin or Cross Fit teacher. If you'd like to try a work out class but can' t afford the cost, consider auditing a few different types of classes so you can decide which one is worth investing in, and pick one to do each winter to help January or February pass by!
7. Decluttering – Marie Kondo style
I love a good trend! And Marie Kondo's Netflix series was definitely popular this winter. And for good reason! I've had a few different "decluttering" seasons since becoming a mom (the stuff kids can cause you to accumulate, it's craziness!) but Marie Kondo's method of decluttering is truly one of a kind. I really enjoyed the first episode of the series especially, because it was a young family with 2 little kids. Just like me! Marie Kondo is so non-judgmental about what stuff you choose to keep, and what "sparks joy" for you, and so it's really a self-led process, which is why I think it works! Her folding method will change your life. Go stream it now!
"Don't focus on reducing, or on efficient storage methods, for that matter. Focus instead on choosing the things that inspire joy and on enjoying life according to your own standards." -Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
8. Medication + therapy!
As hard as this winter was, I was still able to find joy and peace amidst the hard times in part to the medication I've started for PMDD, and regular therapy. Winter is hard for a lot of people – but don't make it harder for yourself then it needs to be! Having someone to talk to that isn't your spouse or mom can be so helpful, and finding the right coping strategies to get through the inevitable hard times in life is so important. If this winter felt extra bleak and dark, call your doctor or consider discussing your mental health with a close friend. Sometimes we don't realize how difficult things have gotten until we've come out of a hard season. That's how I feel about this winter, and now heading into spring. As the days get longer and warmer, I feel myself coming out of a hibernation, frosty sleep as well. So many people are affected by SAD, or feel isolated during winter months. Get out for a walk if it's warm-ish where you are today, call a friend, reach out to someone and ask them how their winter really was and show yourself a little extra TLC and self care as we head into April because we made it through a tough winter friends, even if just barely.
Love and light to you this spring.

Just when I thought I had kicked my Tim Hortons habit for good (the loose waistband on my bands can attest to that!) they come along with a caramel mocha! It's bad enough that I am hooked on the caramel macchiato from Starbucks (it has milk therefore calcium goes the usual justification) and now they bring this along?! Come on! It's so not fair! For once I had loose change kicking around my wallet and now it is all but gone.
Speaking of pants. Since forever now it feels like, I have been hunting for that perfect pair of jeans (Cinderella, only not with my foot in a glass slipper, but my ass in a pair of jeans) which seemed almost impossible. For the most part: they were fine from about the thigh down but in the waist too loose. But if I got them to fit in the waist, they were too tight around the knees, if I got a wider leg fit they flared out too much at the bottom. Add in those few pairs that just sat too low in the waist and I had a hell of a headache. Eventually, after much struggle I should add, I found a few pairs (over a few months mind you) that fit. The catch? They were rather cheap. And now I cannot fathom paying more than $15 for jeans. Nope, not a typo. That does in fact say fifteen. This is due to Forever 21's spoiling me with their dirt cheap jeans. But I fear that river might run dry, for they only seem to go down to size 24. And a 25 is rather close to being lose on me.
The solution seems to be: maintain a steady dose of caramel mochas? Odd.
THIS JUST IN: they have a new donut, Raspberry Lemon (one of the greatest combos ever!) and having added more winning pieces to Rrrroll Up. I am screwed.

Digitalization arend Standardization to ensure Regulatory Compliant Advisory Processes and Customer Orientation
Digitalization arend Standardization to ensure Regulatory Compliant Advisory Processes and Customer Orientation
Changes in customer behaviour, increased customers affinity with technology, expanded use of on-line channels and rising competition from InsurTechs – these are all familiar drivers for the digitalisation of insurance sales. These drivers also hold a certain attraction for every insurer, since these themes are linked with terms such as modernization, customer orientation, growth, and optimisation potential.
This positive association is simply not there when it comes to another major driver, the regulatory framework. IDD, GDPR and LVRG (German Life Insurance Reform Act), to name but a few, are usually associated immediately with additional sales and administrative overheads, costs etc. and not without good reason.
We think that it is therefore expedient to identify and exploit any possible positive interactions between these drivers. First of all, it is important to discern roughly what is required by the regulatory framework and how a meaningful link can be established with the positive drivers.
A brief summary of the current regulatory framework
The regulations related to the advisory processes at first mainly affected intermediaries (EU Insurance Distribution Directive – IDD). Since then, more product-specific regulations (e.g. LVRG and PRIIPs Regulation) as well as those affecting all distribution channels, including sales departments (IDD) have been introduced in order to offer consumers greater protection. The existing European and national regulations are constantly being evaluated and amended to reflect changing market situations. The next change, amendment of the LVRG, is already on the horizon. And then there is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into force in May 2018.
Current situation re. IDD
German lawmakers have made the required legislative changes at an early stage, meaning that the IDD has been applied on schedule since February 2018. As with its predecessor, the IMD Directive, accompanying regulations were not finalised in time though. It still applies to the German Obligation to Supply Information Regulation (VVG-InfoV). And this time, there is also the German Insurance Mediation Regulation (VersVermV) which was initially announced for the spring, but there now seem to be further delays. The current status on the progress of the VVG-InfoV is not generally known.
Special German IDD regulations
The European legislation is limited to four activities, which are mainly concerned with making changes to the advisory process in all distribution channels so that consumers are better protected. German consumer protection policy wants to go further with its implementation of the IDD and strengthen fee-based advice in particular. To this end, the pass-through requirement was newly included in the German Insurance Supervision Act (VAG). In the course of implementing the IDD, the requirements relating to status notifications for life insurance has been raised.
Challenges and issues related to IDD implementation
The regulatory requirements pose various challenges for insurers and their distributors. As a result, their implementation is not fully compliant with the law even now.
The causes can be traced back to these issues:
Delayed implementation due to underestimating the requirements and lack of time for implementation
Incomplete implementation due to missing specifications and the change from rule-based to principle-based regulations
Overloaded resources and the hope of being able to meet the requirements with a minimum solution
GDPR and LVRG
The next European legislation, the General Data Protection Regulation, comes into force as early as May. This is likely to also have a significant effect on insurance sales. If insurers struggle with the Regulation and its implementation, their distributors, both brokers and exclusive agents, are likely to be affected in the same way. At the most basic level, you need to review your handling of data storage/processing in the advisory and sales processes as well as look at the question of who is authorised to access data. In addition, you may need to develop a data protection management system. There may also be a considerable need for other functions, going well beyond administrative tasks.
Moreover, the Life Insurance Reform Act will also be reviewed this year. The threat of further headwinds for insurance sales has already been discussed in various press releases, with a further limitation of the LI payments can be generally expected.
Possible actions: fitness check and greater flexibility through standardisation
When it comes to possible actions, a distinction should be made between the existing and known requirements (IDD) and any new (revised) regulatory requirements still outstanding.
The IDD – or rather its adoption by German law through amending the Insurance Contract Act (VVG), the Insurance Supervision Act and the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung) – has actually been in force since 23 February 2018. As can be seen from the examples above, not all regulations have been implemented consistently. If there are uncertainties at all, you are best advised to carry out a fitness check and to test all or selected processes for regulatory compliance.
In the case of LVRG, insurers not only have to adapt their remuneration systems. They may also need to make further changes to their sales strategy to comply with the new regulatory framework. They may well consider alternative options to safeguard sales potential, such as exploiting new technological possibilities (Robo-Advisor) or administrative sales support (digital transformation).
Greater flexibility through standardisation
What may sound like a contradiction is actually a prerequisite for insurers to implement upcoming changes in legislation as efficiently as possible. Sales processes can be adapted more easily if they have been standardised and digitised to the highest degree possible.
With Q_PERIOR, you have a strong partner at your side.
We look forward to your challenge!

I set the last candle, swirled a little frosting around its base, and stepped back to inspect my handiwork. A tad lopsided. Otherwise, not too bad. A leaning tower of love. That's what I'd call it. In my family, we like sentimental, hokey things. In that, we're in agreement, if not much else.
My father is Timothy Connell, grandson of a proud rebel who left Derry in 1920, three short hops ahead of the Black and Tan; my mother, the former Naomi Herskovitz, is the child of Jews savvy enough to get out of Babi Yar six months before the arrival of the infamous killing squads. So you can see why I treasure small points of agreement – and why parties including both sides of the family are not, for me, an everyday event.
"Sarah! The balloons are up." David's voice, from the basement rec room. "Come have a look."
Doesn't he know how busy I am?
"You're going to be impressed."
Doesn't have a clue.
"Sarah?" Swift footsteps, then, "Here you are."
"Where'd you expect me to be?"
"I was calling you."
"I heard"
"Well?" He looked genuinely puzzled. "Something wrong?"
It was impossible not to respond to his innocence. "Nothing wrong," I told him. "Just a lot to do. I want everything perfect."
"Benny'll thing it's perfect – no matter what."
Benny has Downs Syndrome. I guess that's why I think of him as my little brother even though he's two years older than I am and why I always try to make his birthday perfect. Falling on December 20, it would be easy to lose in the holiday madness of disparate celebrations, but we don't let that happen – another area in which both sides of the family are united.
David put his arms around me and rested his chin on the top of my head. I leaned into him, trying to absorb his confidence. When the doorbell rang, he held me close for a brief moment before we moved apart. No need to answer the bell. We knew who would be first to arrive and that she would come on it.
"I came early to help," Aunt Judith announced. She set a platter of latkes on the counter with her usual flourish, then turned a blush-enhanced cheek to be kissed. A former ballerina, her smallest action always seemed a statement, a statement that I found impossible to ignore. Aunt Judith is my mother's twin, and one of the pillars of my life. "There's more in the car," she said, tilting her head gracefully in David's direction.
He jumped to attention. "I'll take care of it."
"Be careful of the goose."
"Aunt Judith! I told you not to. I made lasagna. Something everybody likes." I looked at the large pans fresh from the oven, still bubbling, an aromatic compromise.
But my aunt is not by nature a compromiser.
I was saved from reprimand by the clattering appearance of my sons. Childless, Aunt Judith dotes on the young of each generation as they come along, and Daniel and Patrick were special favorites, a mixed blessing for them, since to be a favorite of Aunt Judith's meant meeting her rigorous standards. "I love little boys," she was fond of saying, only half kidding, "There's so much room for improvement."
Each boy, in turn, kissed Aunt Judith and stood tall for inspection, just as I had always done.
"Somebody get the door," David called from the front porch.
Daniel opened the door for his father, and we all took a minute to admire what was surely the world's largest goose, skin crisp and brown, glistening with fat, swelled with the chestnut and apple stuffing that nobody makes like Aunt Judith. David set it on the counter between my cake and the lasagna, where it rested, massive and proud. The little tower seemed to lean more, and the bubbles on the lasagna to deflate. Oh well, I told myself, it doesn't matter. Anything that makes Benny feel important is good.
"I couldn't carry everything," David said, "Danny, why don't you run get the bag out of the trunk."
"Where should I put this stuff?" Danny asked when he came back with a bulging shopping bag. Aunt Judith turned to me and, with only the slightest lift of a dark, perfected-shaped eyebrow, asked where the presents should go.
"Basement. On the ping pong table."
I watched David and the boys take the presents downstairs and took a couple of deep breaths.
"That's right. Relax." Aunt Judith put both arms around me. As always, I was awed by the strength that emanated from her diminutive form. "Stop worrying. Everything will be fine," she said. "It always is."
The commotion at the front door was a welcome distraction
My father pushed open the door and, convivial as always, sang out, "You can start the party now," then stepped back to let Mom and Benny come in ahead of him before he added, "We brought the birthday boy."
Seeing Dad and Benny together, it's hard to believe they related at all – much less father and son. Dad is tall, straight-backed, has about him an air of go-to-hellish elegance. "Handsome as a Cossack," is how Grandma Herskovitz used to describe him. Benny is stubby, hunched, and always seems to be trying to keep up.
Dad's two widowed sisters drove up before he made it into the house. He went to help Aunt Meg out of the car and up the three steps, then came to gather me up in a bear hug. "How's my princess?' he asked, rubbing his face against mine.
I knew the exact instant he became aware of Aunt Judith's presence. I felt his tight hug go slack and he stepped back at precisely the moment his sisters stepped forward – Sin Feiners closing rank.
I winced at the look in Aunt Judith's eyes when she saw that Aunt Meg now needed a cane and that Aunt Betsy had put on weight. Please, I prayed silently and vaguely to the God who surely watched over both Connells and Herskovitzes.
"It's been a while," Aunt Judith said, her voice absolutely level, too polite.
"Too long," Dad answered, though he must have known her comment had been directed to his sisters. Aunt Judith's eyes narrowed. I held my breath. Neither of my other aunts spoke. They just stood there, flanking their brother, vigilant.
Then everyone started arriving at once, another aunt and uncle, cousins, spouses, kids. Of course, everyone brought food: a huge tureen of Russian vegetable soup, hearty enough for a main course; an whiskey cake, redolent of the degeneracy my mother had been warned against when she married into the Connell family; butter cookies decorated with blue sugar; tree-shaped cookies iced in green; Uncle Walter's to-die-for rye bread; a sinfully-creamy potato casserole.
Greeting, kissing, admiring the food, everyone talked at once, creating a collective good will. Amid the jumble of voices, I heard Aunt Betsy ask David if he'd get the ham out of her car.
Not her too! "Aunt Betsy, I told you not to go to any trouble."
"No trouble," she said. "It's just a ham. Same old, same old." She lowered her eyes with becoming modesty.
"Loaded with salt," Aunt Judith said, just loud enough.
Aunt Meg looked ready to respond, but Aunt Betsy chimed in, "With all these hungry mouths to feed, I'm sure a ham won't go to waste."
Aunt Judith's eyes flashed, but her lips remained curved in a smile.
Thank you, God, for favors, large and small.
One of the cousins asked, "Did you bring your guitar, Benny?"
"It's in the car."
"You going to serenade us later?"
"Yet bet." Benny's slightly slanted eyes squeezed shut in pleasure before he remembered his manners and added, "If you insist." He loved playing for an audience, but Mom had taught him that he had to wait to be asked.
"We insist." Herskovitz and Connell voices united.
David came in with Aunt Betsy's ham, its surface studded with fragrant cloves nestled among delicate flowers fashioned from bits of pineapple and cherries, a mouth-watering work of art. It was worth of a moment of silent contemplation, but Aunt Judith's wrinkled nose and the lineup of expectant faces reminded me to keep things moving along.
I sent Benny to get his guitar and took Aunt Meg's arm to help her down the steps to the rec room. Her tentative shuffle almost broke my heart. It didn't seem that long ago she had been helping me – demonstrating the fine art of the belly flop – shining tangles of red hair streaming behind her, running through the snow, throwing herself and the sled at the earth, gliding to a stop and looking up at me, laughing, daring me to follow.
Everyone pitched in to move the food downstairs. Aunt Judith composed her face and picked up the platter with the ham.
Cooperation. My heart surged with love. How could I have doubted these people? Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone.
I turned in time to see the ham slide off the platter, hit the floor and bounce down the steps – an obese blob, spewing a trial of clove-dark pellets, mingled with bright bits of red and yellow.
"I don't know how I could be so clumsy!" Aunt Judith, who had never made a clumsy move in her life, said. Her mouth was arranged in a contrite, solemn line, but the look in her eyes was pleasure, pure and unadulterated, a mouse who'd just sprung the trap and stolen the cheese.
Aunt Betsy, the most ladylike of my aunts, glared at her the merest half second before she looked at me and said, "Don't worry about it."
I sent up a silent thank you that there was only one Aunt Judith.
A dramatic sweep of Aunt Meg's cane cut short that prayer. Fat exploded from crisp brown skin as Aunt Judith's goose left the table in a spinning trajectory, orbited by particles of bread crumbs, apples, chestnuts, and raisins.
Radiant innocence lighted Aunt Meg's clear blue eyes as she placed the fat-glistened tip of her cane firmly on the floor, managing, just, to find a clear spot. "We're none of us as graceful as we used to be," she said, and smiled angelically at Aunt Judith.
I heard a quick intake of breath, then a barely-repressed chuckle – my mother and my father respectively – I knew without looking.
When Benny appeared, guitar in hand, his eyes went immediately to the greasy mess on the floor, then to our mother's face. She signaled something to him in the secret language the two of them share. I didn't know what Mom's message told Benny, but I knew I would never forgive my aunts – and vowed that next year David and I would take Benny to a nice restaurant to celebrate his birthday among civilized people
I cleaned up enough to make the rec room usable and we all filled our plates and found places to sit: Dad, Aunt Meg, and Aunt Betsy on the west side of the basement with the Connell cousins, Mom and Aunt Judith on the east with the Herskovitz tribe. David and I sat with Benny between the two, hoping to keep the twain from meeting.
I guess it's true that good food maketh good fellows because we made it through the meal without incident – also without much conversation, but, at this point, I counted that a blessing.
Benny opened his gifts to the appropriate oohs and ahs, and I breathed a little easier. We'd almost made it, but I knew his birthday celebration wouldn't be complete if he didn't get to sing. At least a song or two. Surely the aunts could tolerate each other that long.
"Ready to serenade us, Benny?" I asked.
No need to say more. "Any requests?" he said as he picked up the guitar.
We answered in chorus – different words, diverse tones, overlapping, braiding themselves into one sentiment: "Anything you like, Benny."
I watched his face, shining and pure, as I listened to the familiar words: How many nights … his stubby fingers caressed the strings, some instinct telling him that a minor key was needed to contrast the festive message …'til we light the candles? He continued to sing, far beyond the one or two songs I had dared hope for him and no one seemed anxious, or even willing, to end our time together. Silent night … His voice was harsh, with a hint of a lisp, not pleasant, and yet, it was the voice that united and soothed and healed us. All is calm.
(For now.)

Gap Year Programs In Sumatra
Why Take a Gap Year in Sumatra
Sumatra in Western Indonesia is the sixth largest island in the world and is truly an explorer's paradise. Off the main tourist beaten track, the vast majority of the island remains undiscovered. Most of the highlights are in the north including Bukit Lawang, a jungle-shrouded river offering the best chance in Indonesia to see orangutans in the wild.
In 2017 we were honoured to link up with The Orangutan Information Centre in Sumatra, where teams of Gapforce volunteers helped with reforestation efforts in the orangutans natural habitat, learned about the efforts of the orangutan rescue teams and worked on a permaculture project educating local farmers on sustainable farming methods to reduce their reliance on palm oil. Although we are not currently sending teams to Sumatra we hope that we one day will do so again. Until then, if you are interested in travelling to Southeast Asia why not check out our Southeast Asia Explorer.

Zafar Sobhan is editor of the Dhaka Tribune, a daily newspaper.
The Hallmark scam involves a dodgy loan made to the company by the nationalised Sonali Bank.
t's the gift that keeps on giving. The comic timing of this government is priceless. If I didn't know better, I would suspect that they time things for the maximum possible laughs.
How delicious is that the very same week that the government changed the law to bring Grameen Bank under greater government control, all the while sending its earnest emissaries on air to argue that greater government control of banks is a good thing in this day and age, don't you know, that a massive banking scandal centering on one of the government's remaining nationalised banks would come to light, making their arguments look even more preposterous and laughable than before.
I mean, what are the odds?
Well, possibly, the odds are quite high, if corruption is as rampant as critics of this government contend. But nevertheless, the revelation of the scandal, which had been unfurling since April, seemed to be timed perfectly to make the government look even more foolish than normal.
Not that it needs much help in that capacity. No sooner had the Tk 4,000 cr scam been brought to light, than the finance minister was on the air, blustering that it was a small matter, and criticising the media for fixating on such trivialities.
You can't make this stuff up. And the honourable minister's subsequent speech in Parliament, where he said that he was going to limit his words because he had been cautioned not to talk too much, was pure comedy gold.
It makes me wonder who's scripting his lines. If this
finance minister gig doesn't pan out, it seems to me that Abul Muhith has a promising future in stand-up. Perhaps he's being fed lines by Naveed Mahbub, the country's most celebrated comedian. Sometimes I think the only place we could find more clowns would be at the circus.
But it gets better. What are the odds that the company involved in the Sonali Bank scam would be called something as awesome as Hallmark? It's too perfect. You may supply your own joke about the finance minister and his Hallmark moment.
But, of course, none of this is any laughing matter, and the joke is really on us, the long-suffering citizenry of this nation. When the dust settles we will find that it is we who are laughing on the other side of our face.
The slow-motion government takeover of Grameen Bank is no joke. It's a tragedy. Not content with ousting Dr Yunus, the government has now gone to war against the nine directors elected by the bank's owner/borrowers. It is as unnecessary and small-minded as it is counter-productive.
What makes Grameen Bank special is that it is a billion-dollar financial institution owned by its members, eight million poor rural woman, who have contributed 97% of the bank's capital (as against 3% kicked in by the government, which nevertheless retains 25% of the board seats), something unique in the world.
There is nothing stopping the government from amending the Grameen Bank ordinance, as it has done, to put more power in the hands of the government-appointed chairman and less in the hands of the elected directors, but it is an unjust and unwise policy.
The Hallmark scam is no joke, either. It is a national disgrace, and one that we are sadly all too familiar with in Bangladesh. Once again, we have a dodgy loan made by a nationalised bank, with bank officials paid off to look the other way as taxpayer money is siphoned off to fill the pockets of a fortunate few. As has been pointed out, Tk 4,000 cr is fully 2% of the national budget.
That the two crises should be juxtaposed together in such a manner is in some ways amusing. But the bigger picture which emerges is far from comforting. When taken together, what we have here is a government that is convinced of its own infallibility; even while evidence of its corruption and incompetence is everywhere you look.
Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I knew the name origin part, but since I always like 3 Dog Night, I figured there'd be more you could tell about them. You came far from disappointing me, on the contrary, I'm quite pleased. Thank you, kind sir.
BTW, if you typed better, my name might not have come out "Aitch". :)
I really would like to see you doing this stuff without growing weary so quickly, as I'm sure everyone would like to hear more from that self sustaining feedback loop called your mind. Peace, dude.

I am helping a friend to organise her wedding party. One of my suggestion is to pick about 10 oldies or 60's rock for a dance session.
What songs do you recommend?
As this is a wedding ceremony, the lyrics must be a happy and cheerful one.

Happy New Year everyone!
2018 was a bit of a mixed bag for me, there were some amazing highs, but there were some lows too – in my real life and my bookish life. But all in all, 2018 was a pretty good year!
So I'm super motivated to make 2019 even better than 2018!
So… last year I wanted to:
1) Introduce more graphic novels and comic books into my review mix and try to explore more sub-genres of fiction.
I feel like I definitely did this, after all, I added a new award category this year! But I think where I fall down is not putting every review on my website, so I'm going to work really hard on that this year!
2) Introduce a "Bookish Thoughts" category to my website!
I 100% dropped the ball on this one! But I have big plans for re-vamping this section of my website!
3) I wanted to make much more of an effort to be social within the bookish community via Instagram, Twitter and Litsy!
Ok, Instagram 100% did this for! I held multiple international giveaways and put a lot of effort into being a better part of the bookish community. However, Litsy I've given up on and Twitter is a chore – I just don't gel well with it well. However I'm going to give it another go in 2019 and see where it takes me!
4) Introduce Visual Novels into my review categories!
Again, not a major uptake on this one, but I'm going to give it another shot in 2019!
I also launched my YouTube channel this year! Which was exciting and scary at the same time!
On top of these, for 2019 I want to:
- Revamp my YouTube channel – I'm figuring out if I want to continue using my cartoon avatar or become a 'live-action' channel!
- Re-design some of my bookmarks and add new designs! I find it so much fun!
- Go to YALC!
- Aim for 52 posts for 2019!
- Read 52 books this year!
I'm really looking forward to a successful 2019, and I'm going to work really hard to make it happen!
I really hope you join me!
If you have any recommendations for me – books to read or just for things you'd like to see on the site, please get in touch! It'd be great to hear from you!
