The past five decades have confirmed the far-sightedness of the RCL/SEP's political analysis and exposure of the petty-bourgeois radicalism of the JVP. Bhutto's PPP was a party of the poor, urban and rural, the petty-bourgeoisie and radical intellectuals. Its appeal was not about taxing the rich while maintaining the shape of society more or less as it was, but in a promise to abolish the old order altogether and usher in one based on Islamic socialism.

The picture changed radically after the Second World War when Britain, after exhausting European sources, turned to South Asia. Aubrey wrote: "Is Ruth Prawer Jhabvala considered South Asian?" Looks like she got married to an Indian and set South Asian petty bourgeoisie in Britain book stories in the Indian milieu.
Just guessing. But even so, I'd say this doesn't make her South Asian. Or it may be that non-South Asian authors who set their books in South Asia are given honorary place in the list. Petite bourgeoisie (French pronunciation: [pətit buʁʒwazi], literally small bourgeoisie), also petty bourgeoisie, is a French term (sometimes derogatory) referring to a social class comprising semi-autonomous peasantry and small-scale merchants whose politico-economic ideological stance in times of socioeconomic stability is determined by reflecting that of a haute ("high") bourgeoisie.

I'm a bit of a hand cream snob, to be honest. I can't stand anything greasy—I wind up wiping it off my keyboard all day. But I need a serious lotion to combat my seriously dry skin. Thymes Eucalyptus hand lotion is rich enough to take on my cracked hands, but it absorbs quickly enough that it doesn't leave me feeling sticky.
Thymes Eucalyptus is the Levis of hand creams: Its not super-emollient or extra-luxurious, but it makes me feel comfortable in my own skin and it gets the job done. Plus, it's free of paraben, a preservative commonly found in shampoos, moisturizers, and other cosmetics that has gotten a bad rap for its questionable links to cancer. That makes one less thing I need to worry about.
The fresh scent of eucalyptus and lemon is inoffensive enough that it doesn't bother my office neighbor, so I keep a dispenser bottle on my desk for a few hassle-free squirts throughout the day. And when no one is looking, I dab it on my elbows and knees for a little spot relief.

Accreditation for HIEs: EHNAC's Executive Director Explains the Whys and Wherefores
As featured on Healthcare Informatics
By Mark Hagland
Earlier this spring, the Farmington, Conn.-based Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a federally recognized standards development organization and non-profit accrediting body founded in 1993, announced a new agreement with the federal government, in which DirectTrust, a non-profit association created by and for participants in the Direct community, had been awarded a cooperative agreement from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) for continued development and implementation of its accreditation program for health information service providers (HISPs) developed in partnership with EHNAC. The Direct Trusted Agent Accreditation Program (DTAAP) co-sponsored by EHNAC and DirectTrust, will be further developed through ONC's Exemplar HIE Governance Entities Program. The program is designed to encourage the continued development and adoption of policies, interoperability requirements and business practices to increase the ease of health information exchange (HIE). The creation of DTAAP will create a vehicle for the accreditation of health information exchanges, as explained in a press release accompanying the Apr. 4 announcement. As the press release indicated, "One of the areas of focus in the cooperative agreement will be on the continued development and implementation of DTAAP as a national accreditation for health information "trusted agent" service providers, including HISPs, certificate authorities (CAs) and registration authorities (RAs). The accreditation program, launched in November 2012, is currently in use at six beta sites, and is projected to have wide-scale industry adoption by the end of 2013 and int5o 2014," the press release noted.
Recently, Lee Barrett, the executive director of EHNAC, spoke with HCI Editor-in-Chief Mark Hagland to explain some of the intricacies and nuances of all these developments, and to share his perspectives on broad efforts in the healthcare industry to make the practice of health information exchange more effective and streamlined. Below are excerpts from that interview.
To begin with, I think many people are confused about the differences between accreditation and certification. Could you help clarify things a bit?
We've come down to a simple differentiation: certification is really a self-attestation/self-assessment that an organization goes through, and a third party is validating the information through some type of logic or program that helps them look at the information submitted. An accreditation goes much more deeply than a certification. It's not only looking at a self-attestation or self-assessment, but also includes a site review or site audit.
So someone highly qualified as a site auditor is going out to visit an organization, and accreditation is really validation. So if an organization has submitted, for example, that its leaders have appropriate controls for entering a building, for getting into their computer room, and role-based access controls, we go and have an auditor review those controls. And they can ask, from the time someone goes into that building—are all those controls appropriate for the size and scope of the organization or not? Do they really follow their rules for role-based access to PHI [protected health information]? Do they have screen savers and other types of controls on their workstations where users are logged off after a certain period of inactivity? We look at all of those aspects. All those elements apply to the accreditation of health information exchanges; we also have accreditation programs for medical billers and other types of exchanges, for example, clearinghouses.
We're primarily talking about HIE, then?
No, we're also talking about the accreditation of e-prescribing vendors, and also of banks and financial service organizations, having to do with healthcare financial transactions. And medical billers, third-party administrators, outsource vendors. We have a variety of accreditation programs for all of those stakeholders. And the other aspect that's probably new to you, is an accreditation program for health information service providers or HISPs; certificate authorities or CAs; and registration authorities, or RAs. And all of these have to do with the Direct protocol, and securing the exchange of clinical messages.
So we've created an accreditation program with DirectTrust.org for accrediting these HISPs, CAs, and RAs, and EHNAC was given an award, as the April announcement and press release indicated. Actually, we've been given two awards recently. One award from ONC was to DirectTrust.org, in partnership with EHNAC for our DirectTrust agent accreditation program; and then the other was the New York eHealth Collaborative, and that award had to do with outreach and awareness in the industry regarding Direct. So the accreditation that ONC is trying to do here is trying to get these HISPs, CAs, and RAs, to go through accreditation in 2013, in an effort to meet meaningful use Stage 2 compliance in January 2014; because Direct is part of that meaningful use Stage 2 directive. And as part of that, we're looking at this as part of a self-assessment, and doing a site visit or site audit of that organization, around the trust anchors and trust bundles, and creating support for the Direct protocol. And we have a major focus as well on privacy, security, and confidentiality of the data.
There are four areas we focus on: first, the privacy, security, and confidentiality of the data; second, technical performance, the operational capabilities of the network, for health information exchanges or any of those stakeholders I was talking about. Third, we're also looking at best practices; and fourth, the physician, human, and administrative resources that an organization provides to support the services they're promoting.
Can you help distinguish between what you do at EHNAC with accreditation, and what CCHIT and the other deemed entities do around certification? I know the deemed entities are focused on vendor product certification, which is of course, very different.
Right, so CCHIT [the Certification commission for Health Information Technology] is a deemed entity by ONC for EHR [electronic health record ]certification. Yes, the two processes very different. And whether it's CCHIT, URAC, or NCQA, there are a number of organizations that are accreditation/certification bodies, and we work collaboratively together, such that we try to minimize redundancy and ambiguity in the market, where we don't want to have competing accreditations or certifications for the same entities. And we don't compete with CCHIT on EHRs; that's not our core set of programs.
I have to think I might not have been the only person in healthcare who was confused about this.
No, you're not. In both Maryland and New Jersey, our program—our clearinghouse or electronic healthcare network program is mandated in those two states, so that any payer that uses a clearinghouse or EHN has to use an EHNAC-accredited one. And in Maryland, managed service organizations (MSOs) and e-prescribing networks also have to be accredited by us. MSOs provide a lot of EHR services; and those entities do go through us for accreditation.
How many HIEs have been accredited by you?
Five so far, including Michiana Health Information Network, and the Utah Health Information Network.
So this is in an early stage of development overall?
To a degree it is, but certainly with Direct, we've had success already in that ONC has given the accreditation nod to DirectTrust.org and EHNAC, for the accreditation program for DirectTrust; and they're looking to get at least half of the HISPs, the CAs, and the RAs, accredited by the end of 2013. And there are a number of HIEs that also perform the services of a HISP. So there's a possibility that a number of the HIEs would go through that accreditation model.
Are we talking about some organizations potentially needing to go through two different accreditation processes?
Well, if an HIE is acting in the role of a health information service provider, they could go through the accreditation for DirectTrust, but also could go through the HISP accreditation. They would have two accreditations. We have many organizations that have multiple accreditations.
Accreditation for an HIE is not mandated right now, correct
No, it isn't.
So the value of accreditation is as a kind of "Good Housekeeping seal of approval," then correct?
With the new HIPAA Omnibus Rule, with more rules and greater enforcement, the fact that business associates are treated in the same way as covered entities and that OCR [the federal Office of Civil Rights] is going to be doing more audits, there's a greater need to have the appropriate privacy, security, and confidentiality rules and best practices in place, so having a third-party review from an organization like EHNAC helps organizations gain trust with their stakeholders. So we're helping organizations to gain trust with their stakeholders around how they're handling PHI and other types of clinical data. So it goes back to having that Good Housekeeping seal of approval, absolutely.
What would you most like our readers to understand about all of this?
The first is the aspect of building trust with stakeholders, so they have the appropriate policies and processes in place to meet the requirements of the HIPAA Omnibus Rule and meaningful use requirements; and in that context, certification or accreditation is extremely important. Second, the key is to demonstrate trust in the industry, and to assure that organizations have all the right controls. What we have found is that organizations that have gone through our accreditation model have really raised the bar. We institute and help organizations with the implementation of best practices. And our accreditation is very consultative, so we help organizations position themselves best for growth; we help them put together a comprehensive disaster recovery program and business continuity program, and to help them minimize the opportunity for any data breach. So the need for third-party review is absolutely critical for organizations.

Q: Is it safe to have a restaurant put a slice of lemon or lime in your beverage? Is there a risk of contamination from the fruit?
Q: Is it safe to mix casserole ingredients together (including raw eggs) and then refrigerate the dish overnight before cooking it?
Q: Is it safe to defrost a food and then refreeze it without cooking it first?
Q: Is it safe to store an open jar of peanut butter at room temperature (in a cabinet or on the kitchen table)? What if it's organic peanut butter and the label says, "Refrigerate after opening"?
A: Peanut butter is shelf-stable. There is low water activity, and the salt, fat, and thermal heating protect it against the growth of pathogens. However, if the plant where it was produced had dust, rodents, or other contaminants, salmonella might have made its way into the product. Then the pathogens would still be there even if the product was refrigerated.
Because peanut butter contains a lot of fat, it may eventually oxidize. Refrigeration and no light will help it last longer. However, it will be harder to spread if kept in the refrigerator.
Q: Is it safe to eat leftover frozen stuffing that's been in the freezer for 2 years?

What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
Become the Bear! Tackling Middle Aged Life the Bear Grylls Way.

Bear Grylls is probably one of the most famous adventure celebrities in the world. Aside from all his adventures, Bear also shares his survival skills with anyone ready to pay for it. One such chap was our middle-aged writer Jamie East, who usually preferred watching other people take risks from the safe distance of his television. Until he decided to go out there himself and get dirty.
Well, there's something liberating about jumping into a freezing, fast-flowing river with all your clothes on. It's the kind of thing that, as a child, you told yourself you'd do all the time once you were big enough and your parents couldn't tell you off. Yet staying on the precipice at age 39, all I can think of is, "Is this jumper dry-clean only?"
This is what life does to you. It sucks the adventure from you quicker than a Dyson in a bag of sawdust. Before you know it, you'd rather sleep than live, drive than hike, sink into the sofa than swim.
I suppose this could be classified as bare survival. You exist but don't live, and I've decided enough is enough. What would the 12-year-old Jamie, who got sent home from school for falling down a ravine he thought he could clear in one leap, say to me if he could see the 39-year-old me? "Man up!" probably. "Your clothes are stupid?" most definitely.
Bear Grylls is the man we all aspire to be. Hard as nails on a mountain ledge, soft as grease at home with his kids. The fire in his heart burns brighter than Krypton being destroyed, and he's harder than a 60-foot working model of optimus Prime made from diamonds. He also embraces the outlook on life we all wish we had time for had those damned IsAs, smart phones and creamy pasta sauces not gotten in the way. Thankfully for those of us with a terminal case of lazy-itis, we can see how the other half live over at the Bear Grylls survival Academy from the bleak Scottish Highlands or the luscious surrey forests in England. Run by Grylls and his team of ex-paratroopers, the survival Academy is an ideal introduction into a world of skills and endurance we think we'll never need. Be honest; how many of us truly believe that there will come a time when we will be skewering a rat for dinner or navigating a 23,000-acre highland with only the stars to help? But these are skills that used to be second nature to us humans. If there weren't people like Grylls to show us the way, there are a lot of people around the world who wouldn't have lived to tell the tale of the time their car broke down in the Australian outback, or when they had to make a snow cave that provided those few vital hours of warmth on a mountaintop. Whether we like it or not, the knowledge could prove life-saving.
A tent set up for participants during the 5-day Survival in the Highlands course in Scotland.
The Academy offers several options tailored to your needs. You can opt for a 24-hour experience in Surrey either alone or with a family member older than 10. Although only 10 minutes from the motorway, such is the Surrey countryside that you could be in Montana for all you'd know. The dense forest makes for a real wilderness experience. The deep rivers you'll be crossing, the rabbits you'll be gutting, the trees you'll be stripping to make shelter, and the ravines you'll be shimmying across really do give you a feeling of being alive. A 20-minute run is considered a "big thing" in my house, so spending days in the real outdoors felt invigorating. I felt alive!
I'm not an all-rounder though. I found some of the requisite skills completely beyond me, navigating by starlight was one. My brain is just not wired to untangle that kind of data.
I used to think I could point out the north star in a heartbeat. Nope. The north star isn't the brightest one. Nuts.
"The North Star is, in fact, the one perpendicular to blah de blah de blah babble babble wibble waffle." That's how that sentence sounded coming from the instructor's mouth: just a stream of nonsense about ploughs and bears. It doesn't look like a plough. If it looked like a plough, I'm pretty sure even I could find it. But it doesn't. It looks like a slightly wavy line of stars that is buried among 200 billion other stars. It makes finding a needle in a haystack look like finding an elephant in an eggcup, so if I'm stuck anywhere in the world (and I mean anywhere: La Rinconanda, the Kerguelen Islands or just past the BP garage near my house) without Google maps or a TomTom, you may as well kiss this writer's sorry ass goodbye, because I'll wither away in a puddle of my own dehydrated tears.
Jamie had to eat maggots (crunchy and nutty), drink from a muddy river and set traps and eat rabbit he skinned with his own bare hands.
But there are things that must have been festering in my subconscious all these years, like a coiled snake ready to unleash, on an unsuspecting world. For instance, I could light a fire that is neither at the end of a cigarette nor underneath a pile of half-frozen burgers. I mean a real fire created by nothing but flint and dried bark. It's a panic-inducing task, and I'm not ashamed to say it took me nearly 40 minutes. As my instructor, Scott, told me, it's all in the timing. Put on too much too soon and you're buggered. Too little too late and, yup, you're buggered.
Instructions for making a fire without matches or anything a sane human would have within arm's reach
You need the slightest feathers of bark piled up like Candyfoss. You need your spark. Mine was from the flint on my Rambo knife. The very second that spark takes hold of one of your bark feathers, blow very gently. If all goes well, that will turn into a largish smoldering lump of smoke. If it doesn't, go back to the beginning. You now need to start throwing on more feathers of bark, a fraction larger than the one before, before moving onto dried-out twigs no thicker than a hair on a baby's ear. Eight hours later, you have a fire that could singe your eyebrows from 183 m. Well done!
Soon to be survivalists learning how to free rope traverse – a basic zip-line technique that can be used for water crossings and emergency evacuations.
So, if ever I do go missing near the BP garage by my house, just look for the massive fire right next to the petrol station. Well, I may need to think that through a bit more.
The Scottish Highlands course that is offered is similar to this, apart from a few key points. It goes on for five days and takes place in one of the most remote places in Britain. It'll probably pour down with ice-cold rain for the entire trip, and you'll have to eat rat and cross a river in your underpants. Apart from that, exactly the same.
Spending time with this team baked common sense into my brain. The lessons easily transform into mundane, everyday life. The buzz phrase of the trip is "Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance." out in the highlands, this means, "If you don't prepare well, you will likely starve and die." At home, this translates to, "Use a tape measure, or your shelf won't be even." The sentiment is still the same. Don't judge me.
You should know what you're getting into, of course. This is a Bear Grylls branded experience, after all (and all the equipment says as much). You won't be expected to drink your own body fluids, squeeze drops of moisture out of elephant dung, or decapitate a rattlesnake with the sole of your boot, but you will feel as though you could if you were the last man on Earth. I did eat maggots (crunchy and nutty), drink from a muddy river, set traps and eat rabbit I skinned with my own bare hands. And do you know what?
I've never felt more alive or more connected with the world I selfishly pillage on a daily basis. I'm not alone, either.
People the world over have sought out the Grylls way of life. Upon his return to the US, my fellow survivor Caleb said "my hands are shredded, my nose is stuffed, my throat is raspy and my body is tanked, but I am alive now more than ever. It was everything I hoped for: an empowering learning experience."
Crossing a freezing river in Surrey during the 24 hour family course.
I couldn't have said it better myself. After the aching had subsided, and the clothes were washed, the niggling feeling that I was approximately 3 percent more of a man than I was before I began, just wouldn't leave me. It still hasn't.
I didn't imagine that sleeping rough, eating worms and swimming in rivers could possibly have this much of an effect on my psyche, but it really has. I'm not saying I could rescue someone hanging off a cliff, or survive in the jungle for more than a couple of hours. But if you get the chance, breathe in the air, sharpen that stick and venture out into the big, wide world. Just remember to take a compass with you. I swear those stars are out to get you.

SKU: bbdd1572 Categories: BDSM, Historical, Historical Potpourri, Kindle Unlimited
With her sultry brown eyes and winsome beauty, Alana Ingen looks every bit the innocent maiden, but Jacques Legrand knows that hidden beneath is a precocious wench in need of taming.
Alana's mischievous nature means she finds herself in trouble with the powerful Norman knight more often than not and, despite her cunning ways, realizes he is not a man to be toyed with.
Dominant by nature, Jacques uses his own method to tame the rebellious firebrand. With her Uncle, King Donald III, on the Scottish throne, Alana is vulnerable to those who wish to depose him. Jacques would keep her safe, but Alana's reckless nature soon means she finds herself in the path of danger.
Will the two realize they are meant for each other, or will the enemy deprive them of a future forever?
Publisher's Note: This steamy historical romance contains elements of domestic discipline. While it is the third in the Moorland Maidens series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Carlisle Castle, December, 1093…
Jacques Legrand stood atop the keep at Carlisle and surveyed the surrounding countryside, his keen eyes taking in everything from the habitual movements of the castle residents to the wind stirring the bare tree branches in the nearby forest. His experienced gaze missed nothing.
Carlisle was a solid fortress that grew stronger day by day, the steadfast builders expanding each section piece by piece, level by level. But its strength was not only down to the structure but also reliant on the garrison who protected it.
Jacques, along with his cousins, Theo and Leon Charbonneau, were employed by King William to oversee everything, and they did so with competence. King William trusted them implicitly and they, in turn, had the utmost respect for him.
Ever since Donald Bane had seized the Scottish throne, after the death of his brother, King Malcolm III, they had become even more vigilant. No one knew if Donald would follow in his brother's footsteps and wage war against the English. He had already shown contempt for the English by banishing all of them from the Scottish court, along with his nephews, whom he now considered a threat to his reign.
Jacques' jaw clenched. Life in the castle and in the surrounding hills looked so peaceful yet beneath lay a hornet's nest, ready to erupt.
He heard footsteps and looked around to find Leon approaching him.
"How goes it, Jacques?" Leon asked, placing a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"Nothing to report, Leon. Except to say that my bones are beginning to freeze." He grumbled, "This wind is cold beyond measure." He rubbed his hands together to try and bring some life back into them. "I am ill prepared for this northern climate. Give me the south any day."
Leon chuckled. "Come inside and warm yourself. I will send another to replace your watch."
"Aye, 'tis about time I had a break."
They descended the wooden staircase and made their way inside the keep, up the stairs and into the hall. A fire was blazing, and Jacques quickly walked up to it, placing his hands out in front of him. His fingertips tingled as they came back to life, and he closed his eyes, fully appreciating the warmth returning to his body. At six–feet–three, it was a big body to warm.
"Will you remain here to celebrate yuletide?" Leon asked, pouring him a cup of wine. "You know you are most welcome."
Jacques opened his eyes and looking into the flames, nodded slowly. "I have no reason to return south at present, and despite this unwelcome cold, I know I would enjoy the company."
"Well said, cousin." Leon smiled and handed him the cup. "We have some other guests arriving, so you will find it a lively celebration. I warrant the atmosphere will be far more convivial than Yuletide at Winchester."
Jacques nodded. "Aye, King Williams' celebrations are a little fussy for my liking." He downed a mouthful of wine and smacked his lips. "So, do I know any of the guests? Mayhap there will be a maiden amongst them to take my fancy?"
Leon's lip twitched with mirth as he replied, "Aye, Heather's younger sister will be here."
A look of horror crossed Jacques' face. "Alana?"
"Aye." Leon was doing nothing to hide his smile now. Alana seemed to enjoy irritating Jacques, which, in turn, gave Leon and his brother, Theo, much amusement.
"That little devil?" Jacques sighed heavily and shook his head. "She needs a good bottom warming, that one."
"'Tis just in her nature to be a trifle irksome, but you have to admit, she is very beautiful."
"Aye, she is a winsome wench, but that mischievous nature of hers will get her into trouble one day. She is a little on the wild side for my liking."
"In the right hands, I am certain she could be tamed." Leon looked at him expectantly.
Jacques' eyebrows shot up to his hairline. "You are not suggesting that she and I…" He left the words hanging in the air, a look of incredulity on his face.
Leon shrugged. "Well, you are unmarried; so is she. Perhaps you are a match made in Heaven?"
"And mayhap we are not. Nay, when I marry, it will be for love and to a woman with poise and refinement. It certainly will not be to an untamed, precocious little madam!"
"It was just a thought."
"Well, prithee keep those thoughts to yourself in future, cousin."
Leon sat back in one of the chairs in front of the hearth and congratulated himself on a job well done.
He had planted the seed, now he just had to watch it grow. He lamented the fact that Jacques was not yet married. He, himself, had found his soul mate in Rhona and Theo had found his in Heather. He wanted Jacques to share in their happiness and find a mate of his own.
Alana could be the perfect woman for him. All Jacques had to do was tame her rebellious nature and she would, he was certain, become just the wife someone like Jacques needed. Only time would tell.
Alana Ingen sat on her horse and grumbled for the umpteenth time, causing her main guard to raise his eyes to the heavens before exclaiming, "Prithee, my lady, we are going as fast as we can across this terrain. Complaining about the time will not make it any easier or allow us to travel any faster. Unless you wish harm upon your mount?"
Alana rolled her eyes. "Of course, I do not, Jerome. I am just impatient to get to Carlisle 'tis all."
"We cannot go any faster than we already are. Mayhap, if you could muster a little patience?"
"If I must," Alana relented. They had been travelling for several hours and still had two or more to go. She hadn't seen her sister or cousin for several months and was almost beside herself with excitement to visit with them.
She was to spend Yuletide with them. Her Uncle Donald, now king, had been most reluctant to let her out of his sight, but she had beleaguered him day and night until he had finally agreed. Bethoc, her cousin, however, had to remain at Edinburgh. She had been deemed too young to travel the long distance to Carlisle and was to remain at her mother Hextilda's side.
So, Alana, accompanied by four guards, was given permission to visit for a month. A whole month. It was going to be heavenly. She just knew it. Without having her uncle's beady eyes watching over her, she would be allowed the freedom at Carlisle to do as she wished.
Since her uncle had seized the Scottish throne and moved his family up to Edinburgh, Alana had found life far more constrictive than she was used to. The castle was big and draughty—a complete change to their smaller cosier house. They had only lived there a few weeks, but already, Alana found it far too oppressive.
At Penrith, she had been able to come and go as she pleased, explore any path, wander down to the lakes whenever she chose. Aye, she had to be careful of strangers, but at Penrith, life had been peaceful, most of the time.
She desired her own freedom to do as she wished, and she was hoping that at Carlisle she would have just that.
Her thoughts moved to her sister and cousin, now both married. They seemed content with their chosen husbands. She oft thought of being married but wondered if it would curb her impulsive nature. She wrinkled her nose. At twenty–one, she was considered a little old to be unwed, but no one had inspired her otherwise. She certainly wasn't going to marry someone just for the sake of it. Nay, she would only marry for love.
An hour later, the craggy outcrops gave way to a softer landscape. Alana sucked in a lungful of the icy moorland air and stood in the stirrups to see if she could see Carlisle castle.
It was just visible, and she squealed loudly with excitement, causing her horse to toss its head, alarmed at the sudden noise.
"Take care, my lady," Jerome advised. "You do not want to be thrown."
"Aye, Jerome." She pulled a face behind his back. She couldn't wait to be free of his company and in the sanctity of the castle.
Rhona and Heather greeted Alana in the main hall. They were just as overjoyed to see her as she was them.
She soon found herself settled in front of the big fire, with a glass of warmed mead in one hand and a small pastry in the other.
"How was your journey?" Heather asked. "You encountered no trouble?"
Alana shook her head. "It seemed to take an aeon to get here, though. It was not made any easier by the snow at Edinburgh. Uncle almost disallowed my departure, but I insisted. Truly, I do not like it up there."
"Oh?" Rhona queried. "You would rather have remained at Penrith?"
Alana nodded her head emphatically. "Absolutely. The castle is big and drafty and, oh, I don't know, just totally different to what I am used to. Plus, Uncle allows me little freedom. I am not allowed outside the castle grounds for fear I will be stolen away! 'Tis lamentable."
Rhona and Heather exchanged glances. "You will find it is the same here, Alana. We are not allowed outside, at least not unaccompanied."
Alana looked aghast. "But I thought I would be allowed to go where I liked here?"
Heather placed a hand on her shoulder. "Nay, sister. 'tis too dangerous."
"By the rood, I have come from one prison to another," Alana lamented. "I thought I would at least be able to roam around the countryside."
"I would hardly call it a prison," Rhona reasoned. "You can go outside, but you must take a guard."
"And what if I choose to go outside alone? Who is going to stop me?" she said defiantly.
"Me, for one," said a deep voice from the doorway. Alana angled her head to see who it was and found herself looking at Jacques Legrand, her brother–in–law's cousin. He walked towards them and inclined his head. "My lady."
He was huge, and although they had met before, she still found herself a little in awe at his size. So much so, that, for a moment, she fell silent. He also seemed more handsome than she remembered. His long dark brown hair hung loose about his shoulders and his eyes, matching in colour, watched her steadily.
"The guards will not allow you past the gates." He continued. "And neither will any of us."
She finally found her voice. "For what reason?"
"Safety. Heed me well, my lady. There are many hidden dangers outside."
Something in his tone made her bristle. Talking to her as though she was addle–brained. She didn't have to listen to him, and she certainly wouldn't. But for now, she would keep quiet. Let him think she would abide by his command but she had no intention of actually doing so. During her visit here, she intended to explore, so explore she would, with or without his permission.
She arched an imperious eyebrow and turned her back on him dismissively, sipping on her cup of mead. She heard him speak to Rhona about Leon's whereabouts before he left the hall but she refused to give him any further attention. No one told her what to do, unless it was her uncle. For, if she incurred his wrath, there were consequences which usually meant a sound thrashing. No one else would dare do such a thing. So, if she did go outside the grounds, what could they do? Absolutely nothing. Content in that knowledge, she smiled and reached for another pastry.
"These are divine, Rhona. Who made them?" Alana asked, wiping a small crumb away from her chin.
"We have a wonderful cook. I will introduce you to her tomorrow, when you are rested. Would you like me to show you your room?"
Alana pointed at Rhona's distended stomach. "Are you certain you can manage? That looks extremely uncomfortable."
Rhona laughed. "I do feel a little cumbersome every now and then, but showing you to your room will be no hardship, I assure you. I am not unwell, just simply with child."
"She has more energy than I have," Heather admitted. "But come with us, we shall both show you and get you settled. Oh, this is so lovely having us all together like this. It would have been nice to have Bethoc here as well, but at least we have you."
"And we shall have a wonderful Yuletide!" exclaimed Alana, jumping up. "Now where is this room of mine?"
That evening, Alana found herself seated in between Jacques and Heather at the long table in the hall where dinner was being served. She ate with gusto, thoroughly enjoying the delicious food that Carlisle's cook had made for them. Reaching for another slice of meat, she heard Jacques say, "You have a fine appetite, my lady."
"Aye, what of it?" Her eyes flashed at him, not knowing if he was being judgemental or merely making an observation.
"I meant no malice." He continued, noting her tone. "It is just nice to see a woman who enjoys her food."
"Meaning I am fat?" She arched an eyebrow.
Jacques frowned. "Nay, I never said that. You take umbrage far too easily. Take it as a compliment."
"The fact that you think I am fat?" She pretended to be affronted. The chance to irritate him too good an opportunity to miss.
"God's bones. You are difficult," he exclaimed.
"Nay, 'tis you who is being difficult, my lord. I would never have thought you to be so rude." She coughed into her napkin to stifle her laugh, but when she looked up, he was giving her a steady, heavy–lidded look, having caught on to her intention.
"I see you are still as mischievous. I would warrant a trip over my knee would cure you of that." He picked up his goblet and casually took a sip.
Alana's mouth twitched. "That would never happen; my lord, for you would have to catch me first. As you can see, I am petite and nimble, whereas you, my lord, are a great lummox!"
He put down his goblet and turned his full attention on her. Fascinated, she watched as his eyes turned dark. "I am not one to turn down a challenge, so beware our next encounter, my auburn–haired maiden."
Alana's smile faltered. This wasn't going as planned. He was turning the tables on her, and she didn't like it. She prodded his arm. "You jest, surely?"
"Do I?" He took another sip of his wine. "Well, now, you will just have to wait and see."
Alana eyed him warily and glanced at his hands. They were huge like the rest of him, and she didn't fancy them landing on her posterior.
"I was only having a bit of fun," she grumbled.
"At my expense, aye." Before she could respond, he shot her a devilish smile, vacated his seat and left the hall.
Alana stared after him. Would he truly spank her? A ripple of excitement went through her and she frowned. Why did that thought arouse her so? She looked down at her goblet. Perhaps it was the strong wine she had supped this eve; it was obviously dulling her senses, for a spanking was something to dread, surely? Confused by her thoughts, she turned to her sister, Heather, and engaged her in conversation, avoiding any talk of Jacques entirely.
The next morning, Alana arose bright and early, donned her clothes with the help of a maid named Sarah and made her way to the hall. Apart from the servants, everyone was still abed so, descending the stairs, she decided to venture outside.
She exited the keep, and stepping past the burly guard on duty, she walked down to the outer bailey. The air was cold, making her breath appear as white mist when she exhaled. Fascinated, she blew softly, watching the wispy cloud disappear each time. It was cold but nowhere near as cold as Edinburgh. Living there was not to her liking. Why her uncle had to proclaim himself king, she knew not. She would rather they had lived at Penrith as they were, but her uncle had deemed otherwise.
She pulled her woollen cloak tight around her shoulders, drawing the hood snug against her face to keep in the warmth as she strolled nonchalantly around, surveying her surroundings. The wooden boundary fence was high to keep out intruders, and after a thorough inspection, it seemed there were only three gates to exit the castle, one of those being the main gatehouse.
She pulled a face. She had thought that she might be able to climb over the fence somehow and have a little freedom, but staring up at the height of it, it seemed an unlikely task. A sudden idea came to mind—unless, of course, she could find a ladder. She was small and nimble and had climbed many trees and ladders in her time. This would be no effort at all. She looked around until her eyes fell on a barn. With quick strides, she was inside and scouting around. Within minutes, she had located not just one but two ladders. Thrilled, she grabbed one and began to lift it.
"What are you doing?" a deep voice asked from the doorway.
Alana dropped the ladder immediately and spun around. Jacques had appeared from nowhere and was now staring at her with his hands on his hips, a puzzled look on his face.
"I was…just…seeing how heavy this ladder was!" she explained quickly.
"How heavy it is? Wherefore?"
"Just out of curiosity. We have some at Edinburgh and I wondered if it was as heavy, 'tis all."
Jacques strode over to her and, from his lofty height, peered at her flushed face. "What were you going to use it for?"
"You know very well what I mean." His eyes bored into hers and she found her breathing suddenly a tad erratic.
"I assure you, I was not going to use it for anything. I merely wanted to test its weight," she maintained.
"I have heard some lies in my time but that is truly up there with the best." He placed a hand on her shoulder and asked, "What did you intend to scale?"
She licked her lips that had suddenly gone as dry as dust. "Naught!"
"You will tell me the truth or I will spank it out of you! In fact, I owe you a spanking for yester eve, and now that I have you…" He left his words hanging in the air, and before Alana could even think of escape, he had her face down over one raised knee.
She struggled but he had her securely held under one arm, whilst the other was already in the process of pushing her cloak aside so he could get to her skirts. She kicked and protested, but in seconds, her skirts were raised and his hand had made contact with her bare bottom.
She sucked in a breath at the sudden intense pain, but before she could even think of crying out, another had already made impact.
"Oh! Ouch!" she shrieked, finding her voice. "This is unjust!"
"Nay, my troublesome minx. This is deserved, well and truly."
His hand fell again and again, creating a burning heat that had her squirming to escape. His hands were made of iron; she would swear upon it. Each smack seemed harder than the next. And her face screwed up with pain as he continued to blister her bottom.
She was breathing heavily by the time he stopped, but he didn't release her. "Now, you will tell me what you intended with that ladder."
"I told you."
He gave her a sharp smack and she yelped in response.
"I can continue this for a long as you like. It is up to you," he remarked.
His hand was resting on her heated skin and she could hardly think straight, let alone talk, but she knew she had to give an answer. She emitted a heavy sigh and muttered, "I wanted to climb the fence."
For a moment, there was silence as he digested her words. "You wanted to climb the perimeter fence? Are you addle–brained?"
"Then tell me—how did you intend to get down the other side?"
Alana's face fell. "I had not really thought of that yet."
Jacques shook his head. "You deserve more than my hand for your behaviour, young lady." He threw her skirts down and dropped his knee, so she could stand back up. She placed a hand beneath her cloak and rubbed her sore bottom, her face sullenly looking up at him.
"And you can take that look off your face or I will take a switch to your backside," he warned her.
Alana's eyes widened and she immediately looked contrite. He raised a long finger and pointed it at her face. "It is for your own safety that you are disallowed to go outside the castle grounds. Promise me you will not even think of doing so again?"
She nodded and swallowed hard. Her bottom hurt like hell and she wanted to go straight back to the solace of her chamber.
"Then go, but heed me well."
Without a word, she turned and practically flew out of the barn towards the keep, intent on putting as much distance as she could between herself and Jacques. He was an ogre and she hated him.

PJB – April 7, 2018
I love this authors way of bringing medieval England to life. This tale had me captivated from the start. Alana, an arrogant young woman – a little too confident of her own ability, is used to having her own way. These are dangerous times for her and she needs to be kept safe. Her Uncle has taken the Scottish crown and there are many out to get him or any member of his family. Jacque Legrand despairs of Alana's recklessness and decides to keep her safe. However, Alana is not easily convinced that she is in danger and willfully disregards the handsome knight. He determines to teach her to obey and the feisty young woman soon finds herself face down over Jacques meaty thigh and soundly spanked! Great fun and very enjoyable read!
Margaret Corcoran – April 7, 2018
I love Alana but she really needs to curb her behavior or her poor butt will never recover. This is a very well written book. Jacques and Alana need each other. All the characters are well written and described. There is plenty of fun interaction between them. I received an ARC copy of this book and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed reading this book it's fun and frolicks. A wonderful addition to this great fun series.
K. Brown – April 7, 2018
I enjoyed this step back into the 11th century Scotland. Ms. Dawson did a great job incorporating the history and just a little of the language, to make the story realistic. Even though, I've (yet) not read the first 2 books, I was able to fully enjoy this book. The story was easy to follow and had several domestic discipline scenes. I would have liked the romantic relationship to build just a little more, but it was a satisfactory ending. I was given this book to read by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Alana gets away with a lot until she meets Jacques at her cousins castle in Carlisle. She wants freedom to roame and doesn%u2019t take her safety seriously, Jacques is constantly trying to get her to think about her safety the best way he knows how by setting her butt on fire
DB – April 12, 2018
Love this series and I think this book had the best humor of them all! Alana is visiting her sister and cousin and Jacques, a Knight, is also there. She finds many ways to aggravate him and he finds just the right way to handle her, over his knee. There are many humorous situations with Alana and Jacques and you find yourself laughing out loud. This book had romance, mystery, witty well written dialogue, many spankings, a very feisty female, a very alpha male, kidnapping and a great ending! 5 Large Stars
Redrabbitt – April 13, 2018
The story is a continuation in a saga that in this third book will start out in December 1093 where Alana will travel with guards from her Uncle%u2019s castle at Edinburgh where he took over the Kingdom to visit her sister and cousin at Carlisle. Alana Ingen is twenty-one and has a reputation for being spoiled and hot-headed, and in this tale, those things have not changed.
Jacques Legrand is a cousin to Theo and Leon Charbonneau and lives and works at Carlisle. He is a large, dominant man, and feels like someone needs to take Alana in hand. When she is up to her usual tricks and misbehaviors, he will be that man, many times over.
The plot will have Alana come to Carlisle for the Yuletide holidays for a month stay. She is excited to see her sister and cousin and to be away from Edinburgh. The only downside of her visit is she is not allowed to just do whatever she wants, just like at her Uncle%u2019s. Alana will be up to causing mischief and Jacques takes it upon himself to discipline her when she causes problems.
During the Christmas celebration, Tristan Dumont will be one of the guest attending, and he takes a fancy to spending time with Alana and likes to ask her questions about her Uncle Donald, the castle, the guards, fishing for information. While Alana finds it unusual, she doesn%u2019t become alarmed about it at first. The green-eyed monster will come out when another guest, Ryia and her parents set their sights on Jacques at a spouse for Ryia.
When the month is up after the end of the Yuletide celebration, Alana and her guards will return to Edinburgh and patiently await the news of the birth of Rhona%u2019s baby. When word comes in March 1094 that a baby was born, Alana wants to travel to Carlisle and is told no. Being the impetuous woman she is, she will leave on her on and travel, no matter what.
The story will take a twist of life, death, how far those willing to change a kingdom are willing to go. It will help Alana and Jacques to realize they are destined to be together and marry. She will get the man who knows exactly how to handle her.
The story is loosely fashioned around historical events between the various kings, and yes, Donald usurps the throne for the rightful King Duncan for a short while. The author has enhanced the tale with dominant men and feisty woman. There are many spanking scenes and a couple of sex scenes after marriage.
rjr – April 16, 2018
Another great entry to the series! This is Alana's story and her playful, independent spirit is front and center. Alana is visiting her sister and cousin and talk turns to marriage. At 21, she is certainly of marrying age and now that her uncle is king, the topic of a political marriage scares her. She meets the handsome and charming Tristan and enjoys his company. However, she also meets Jacques again and the large imposing knight also holds her interest. Unfortunately, Jacques does not put up with misbehavior and makes his feelings known often. Treachery, danger and rules from her uncle and Jacques keep Alana busy and worrying about her future. I just loved catching up with Rhona and Heather who were the subjects of the first two books in the series. I also really enjoy reading about life in a smaller castle/fortress in this time period. There is one more cousin in the family and I'm hoping her story is next as this is a fun and heartwarming series that I'm not ready to have end.
Jf12574 – April 20, 2018
I read an advanced copy of this book and dont regret it. Love the characters that squabble, love, and care for each other thief adventures are very entertaining!!
lani – May 5, 2018
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for an honest review. I loved the continuation of this story! The characters are so fun to read about! I hope we get more soon!
Sam – June 3, 2018
Alana is a fun yet challenging woman. Jacques has his hands full with her. I really enjoyed the historical setting of this book; the author does a good job of incorporating history into her stories which makes the settings so interesting.
I received an ARC of this book.

13 Reasons Why has been on Netflix for only two weeks, but Reddit's already flooded with fan theories. (It's truthfully astounding fans can even write theories after experiencing the show's gut-wrenching finale. I could barely think after watching the thirteenth episode.) Today's favorite hypothesis connects the Netflix sensation with a show that's been on the air since the Stone Age: Grey's Anatomy. Fans already know the obvious connection between these shows: Kate Walsh (who plays Hannah's mom on 13 Reasons Why) had tenures on both Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice as Dr. Addison Montgomery. But they may not remember the other 13 Reasons Why actor who appeared on Grey's: Dylan Minnette, who plays Clay Jensen. He's the subject of our theory.
In a season four episode of Grey's Anatomy, Minnette plays a young kid named Ryan with hearing disabilities. Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) takes Ryan's case on and builds him a pair of ears that substantially improves his hearing. Now, 10 years later, Minnette stars as Clay Jensen on 13 Reasons Why, a character whose entire storyline is contingent on him listening intently to Hannah's 13 cassette tapes. The connection is obvious to some Twitter users: Because Dr. Sloan built Ryan/Clay a pair of ears back in the day, he can now hear Hannah's tapes and seek justice for her.
"Meredith Grey helped Clay Jensen get ears so he could listen to tapes left by Addison Montgomery's daughter," one Twitter user wrote.
"Good thing Mark Sloan gave this kid ears so he could listen to Hannah's tapes," wrote another.
Admittedly, this theory is a bit far-fetched—Clay and Ryan are two different characters. The fact that hearing is crucial to both of their storylines is coincidental, but you have to love the Internet for making this connection. (It's almost as good as the one about Grey's taking place in the Marvel Universe.) Almost.

Rick Swan to Lead Team Canada West on Home Turf
COACHES SELECTED FOR TEAM CANADA EAST, TEAM CANADA WEST AT 2018 WORLD JUNIOR A CHALLENGE
Rick Swan to coach Team Canada West on home turf and Patrice Bosch returns as Team Canada East head coach at this year's World Junior 'A' Challenge.
Canada's two teams at the 2018 World Junior A Challenge in Bonnyville, Alberta., will be led by coaching staffs that can be characterized as a balance of experience and familiarity, with fresh insights.
For Team Canada West, Rick Swan (Bonnyville, AJHL), 2017 gold-medalist as an assistant coach, takes the reins as head coach when the World Junior A Challenge returns to the home of his Bonnyville Pontiacs in December. Swan is joined behind the bench by Joe Martin (Merritt, BCHL) and Derek Sweet-Coulter (English River, SIJHL), who both won gold with Team Canada West in 2017, and Brandon West (Surrey, BCHL), who was an assistant coach for Team Pacific at the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Jamie McCaig (Spruce Grove, AJHL) returns to Team Canada West as goaltending coach.
Returning as Team Canada East bench boss is Patrice Bosch (Granby, LHJQ), a past silver- and bronze-medalist who makes his fifth appearance as a member of the staff. Bosch, whose team finished fifth in 2017, will be supported by assistant coaches Peter Goulet (Kingston, OJHL), who was an assistant coach with Team Canada East in 2013, and Corey Beer (Timmins, NOJHL), who makes his first appearance at the international showcase of Junior A talent. Darcy Findlay, head coach and assistant general manager with the Nepean Raiders of the CCHL, and assistant coach with Team Ontario at the upcoming Canada Winter Games, will join the group as video coach.
"The coaches selected to lead Team Canada East and Team Canada West demonstrate the level of talent and strength we have in those key leadership and mentorship roles within the Canadian Junior Hockey League," said Brent Ladds, CJHL president. "It's great to see how most of these coaches began by supporting these teams as selection camp guest coaches, and are now moving forward to joining the tournament staff. Their participation as part of the two Canadian teams at the World Junior A Challenge will not only be beneficial to the players they'll be working with, but to their club teams as they bring what they've learned from each other back home."
Earlier this spring, the CJHL announced that Kevin Saurette (Manitoba Junior Hockey League) was selected to return as director of operations for Team Canada West, having held that role with the 2017 World Junior A Challenge champions, while Team Canada East welcomes Chris Vanstone (Ontario Junior Hockey League) as its director of operations for 2018.
Bonnyville will host the World Junior A Challenge for the second time in three years at the R.J. Lalonde Arena from Dec. 9-15, 2018. The host committee is looking to emulate the success of the 2016 edition, which was staged by nearly 150 volunteers from in and around the community. Historically, the event has delivered a regional economic impact of more than $3 million.
The World Junior A Challenge is made possible thanks to the partnership between Hockey Canada, the CJHL, and NHL Central Scouting, and features two Canadian teams, representing East and West, as well as four international teams vying for a gold medal. Ten of the 12 gold-medal games at the World Junior A Challenge have featured at least one Canadian team. Team Canada West won gold at the first two tournaments, in 2006 and 2007, and also took home gold in 2011, 2015, and 2017. The team also won silver medals in 2008, 2009, and 2012, as well as bronze in 2013. Team Canada East won silver medals in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2016, as well as claiming the bronze medal in 2008.

Q: Intent.ACTION_CALL falla en android 6+ MI CASO

*

*Tengo este método para realizar llamada directa desde android:
public void Llamar(String Numero) {
    Intent Llamada = new   Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL).setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    Llamada.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + Numero));
    context.startActivity(Llamada);
}

*El permiso correspondiente esta activado.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

EL PROBLEMA
En terminales con Android menor que 6, funciona correctamente, en terminales con 6 o mayor la aplicación se detiene.

A: A partir de Android 6.0 (API 23) hubieron varios cambios en este sentido, entre ellos, algunos permisos han sido considerados como riesgosos, y precisamente entre ellos se encuentran los intentos de llamadas telefónicas (CALL_PHONE).
Dice la documentación de Android:

A partir de Android 6.0 (nivel de API 23), los usuarios conceden
  permisos a las apps mientras se ejecutan, no cuando instalan la app.
  Este enfoque simplifica el proceso de instalación de la app, ya que el
  usuario no necesita conceder permisos cuando instala o actualiza la
  app. También brinda al usuario mayor control sobre la funcionalidad de
  la app; por ejemplo, un usuario podría optar por proporcionar a una
  app de cámara acceso a esta, pero no a la ubicación del dispositivo.
  El usuario puede revocar los permisos en cualquier momento desde la
  pantalla de configuración de la app.
Los permisos del sistema se dividen en dos categorías, normal y riesgoso:

*

*Los permisos normales no ponen en riesgo la privacidad del usuario de
  forma directa. Si tu app tiene un permiso normal en su manifiesto, el
  sistema concede el permiso automáticamente.

*Los permisos riesgosos
  pueden permitir que la app acceda a información confidencial del
  usuario. Si tu app tiene un permiso normal en su manifiesto, el
  sistema concede el permiso automáticamente. Si tienes un permiso
  peligroso, el usuario debe autorizar explícitamente a tu app.

  En todas las versiones de Android, tu app debe declarar los permisos
  normales y peligrosos que necesita en su manifiesto, como se describe
  en Declaración de permisos. No obstante, el efecto de esa declaración
  es diferente según la versión del sistema y el nivel de SDK de destino
  de tu app:

*

*Si el dispositivo tiene Android 5.1 o una versión anterior, o el nivel
  de SDK de destino de tu app es el 22 o uno inferior: Si tienes un
  permiso peligroso en tu manifiesto, el usuario debe conceder el
  permiso cuando instale la app; si no otorga el permiso, el sistema no
  instalará la app.

*Si el dispositivo tiene Android 6.0 o una versión
  posterior, y el nivel de SDK de destino de tu app es el 23 o uno
  posterior: Los permisos deben estar indicados en el manifiesto de la
  app, y esta debe solicitar cada permiso riesgoso que necesite mientras
  la app esté en ejecución. El usuario puede conceder o negar cada
  permiso y la app puede continuar ejecutándose con capacidades
  limitadas aun cuando el usuario rechace una solicitud de permiso.

Consultar lista de permisos riesgosos o peligrosos.

Nota: A partir de Android 6.0 (nivel de API 23), los usuarios pueden revocar permisos desde cualquier app en cualquier momento,
  aunque la app esté orientada a un nivel de API inferior. Debes probar
  tu app para verificar que se comporte correctamente cuando no cuente
  con un permiso necesario, independientemente del nivel de API al que
  esté orientada tu app.

Solicitar o verificar permisos
Cada vez que realice una operación que requiera un permiso peligroso, se debe comprobar si el usuario ha concedido ese permiso. Si no lo ha hecho, debe solicitar que se conceda.
Android tiene documentación en español que explica con fragmentos de código cómo realizar estas tareas.
Puedes consultarlo aquí: Cómo solicitar permisos durante el tiempo de ejecución.
Comprobar si existen permisos
// Assume thisActivity is the current activity
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
        Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE);

Solicitar los permisos que se necesitan
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
                Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
        != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

    // Should we show an explanation?
    if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(thisActivity,
            Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {

        // Show an expanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
        // this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
        // sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.

    } else {

        // No explanation needed, we can request the permission.

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);

        // MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
        // app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
        // result of the request.
    }
}

Controlar la respuesta a la solicitud de permisos
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
        String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                // permission was granted, yay! Do the
                // contacts-related task you need to do.

            } else {

                // permission denied, boo! Disable the
                // functionality that depends on this permission.
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}

A: Para aplicaciones con OS Android anteriores a 6.0 es suficiente con definir el permiso dentro de tu archivo   AndroidManifest.xml :
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Requerir permisos CALL_PHONE en dispositivos con Android 6.0 o posterior.
Este sería la forma adecuada para requerir permisos para realizar llamadas telefónicas en Android 6.0 :
 int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
            this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE);
    if (permissionCheck != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        Log.i("Mensaje", "No se tiene permiso para realizar llamadas telefónicas.");
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, 225);
    } else {
        Log.i("Mensaje", "Se tiene permiso para realizar llamadas!");
    }

Para validar la petición por API se realiza lo siguiente:
final private int REQUEST_CODE_ASK_PERMISSIONS = 123;

...

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // Se tiene permiso
    }else{
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(PrincipalActivity.this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, REQUEST_CODE_ASK_PERMISSIONS);
        return;
    }
}else{
    // No se necesita requerir permiso OS menos a 6.0.
}

En la misma activity agrega el método onRequestPermissionsResult()  que es un callback para obtener el resultado de la petición:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode){
        case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_PERMISSIONS:
            if(grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
                // El usuario acepto los permisos.
                 Toast.makeText(this, "Gracias, aceptaste los permisos requeridos para el correcto funcionamiento de esta aplicación.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }else{
                // Permiso denegado.
                Toast.makeText(this, "No se aceptó permisos", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        default:
            super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }
}

Q: Making sense of arguments to a function template Reading a code base and desperately trying to understand it.
template<typename selection>
void run_z_p_selection(xml_config &my_config){
system::start();
std::shared_ptr<selection> my = std::make_shared<selection>(my_config, machine, enable, timet);
system::addSelection(my);
 }

*

*(xml_config &my config){}. Is this an object being created as an address? I don't understand.

*Where are all the (my_config, machine, enable, timet) coming from if they are not input arguments to the function?

A: *

*That is something called pass by reference

*It's hard to tell without seeing the whole code base, but it looks like those are global variables. Maybe system::start() sets them up?

A: *

*xml_config &my_config is a reference: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/reference A reference is an:

Alias to an already-existing object or function

*my_config is the argument passed in that is an xml_config&. machine, enable, and timet are all variables which are in scope for your function. And that could mean a lot of things.

*

*If run_z_p_selection is a method, these could be member variables.

*Because run_z_p_selection is a template I assume that it is defined in your header, so you shouldn't need to look in included source files for these, only in included headers.

*The variables must either be defined in run_z_p_selection's namespace, a containing namespace, or the global namespace.

If you have Visual Studio you can select the variable you want to know about and press: Ctrl + F12 to jump to where it is defined in your project.

Q: Can I place something like a comment or annotation next to collapsed code in Visual Studio? If you collapse a block of commented-out code in Visual Studio, it's pretty normal. You get the little box containing [ // ... ] to indicate that there is a collapsed comment, and you can mouse over it to see a little pop-up of what's inside. Instead of having to mouse-over each time, is there a way to just add a single-line comment above or below the [ // ... ] block without Visual Studio trying to include it in the collapsed section?
For example, when trying to do the following:
   //this is a brief description of the collapsed code below
   [ // ... ]

Visual Studio then forces the upper comment into the collapsed section below, rendering it useless unless you mouse-over it. So that saves some time potentially, but doesn't eliminate the need to mouse-over; sometimes, it's just easier to read one line to remember what something does, and all the better if you don't have to jump through an extra hoop to read that one line.
You could just do something like this by skipping a line:
//this is a brief description of the collapsed code below

[ // ... ]

And it works the way that I'd want it to -- without collapsing everything together -- but that extra line space in between just looks weird, and having to do that potentially multiple times in a program just makes the whole thing longer. Any advice?

A: If you want a comment to serve as reminder or summary text for another block of collapsed comment code, say in the event that you want to hold onto some code before determining whether or not to edit it or delete it, it can be done in one of at least two ways in Visual Studio. First, the obvious difference between comment types:

There is a difference in the way that the Visual Studio IDE handles the two comment types. Single-line comments may stand alone, or could be grouped together with other single-line comments to form a collapsible block, but the block cannot be separated into groups of single-line comments without skipping lines in-between. Multi-line comments can always be collapsed, but their indicators /* */ are paired, similar to how the { } symbols are paired in code.
That said, comment types can be combined in at least the following ways to form reminders/summaries.
First:

which collapses like so:

and second:

which collapses like so:

Note again that multi-line comments can always be collapsed, so it might be easy in longer bits of code to lose track of line locations if they are collapsed accidentally.

Crypto Hack Spree Sees Millions Stolen In Just Days
According to Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, the e-mail accounts used by the Treasury Department's senior leadership have been hacked by alleged Russian government hackers who have conducted a major cyber-espionage campaign against many U.S. federal agencies. The ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee said the "full depth" of the Treasury Hack "isn't known."
Senate Finance Committee staff were briefed on a significant breach of the Treasury as part of the SolarWinds hack, Wyden said in a statement on Monday night.
"Hackers broke into systems in the Departmental Offices division of Treasury, home to the department's highest-ranking officials. Treasury still does not know all of the actions taken by hackers, or precisely what information was stolen," Wyden said.
The Internal Revenue Service reported that there was no indication that the Agency had been compromised or that the data on taxpayers had been affected, Wyden added.
Wyden said that Microsoft had alerted the Department to the compromise that started in July.
Cybersecurity analysts claim that a sophisticated group of hackers was able to penetrate U.S. government networks earlier this year through a product gap created by SolarWinds, which offers software for government agencies and large corporations.
Hackers were then able to access classified information and messages from clients of SolarWinds, including the Finance, Trade and Energy departments and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which manages the country's nuclear weapons.
