outcome measurement
Mental health, already a significant concern prior to the pandemic, has become an even greater concern over the past two years for people of all ages, including children, and in all walks of life. The ability to provide ongoing help to those suffering with mental or behavioral health issues has become a top priority for clinicians.

Unfortunately, monitoring and measuring progress can be challenging. And even though clinicians support monitoring and measuring progress in mental health treatment, few do so in practice. As an article published in Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research notes, "Numerous trials demonstrate that monitoring client progress and using feedback for clinical decision-making enhances treatment outcomes, but available data suggest these practices are rare in clinical settings."
There is a need for the wider use of objective, outcome-focused progress measures in mental health treatment and measuring mental health outcomes. For some clinicians, this will require shifting from measuring process to measuring outcomes. What does this mean?
Process vs. Outcome Measures
To put it simply, process measures tell us what was done while outcome measures tell us what happened after something was done.
Process measures have historically been relatively easy to document and monitor. One common example: a provider had an appointment with a patient and then prescribed a medication or ordered a test. But these process measures don't give an indication of the impact of these efforts on the patient's mental health.
That's where outcome measures come into play.
Importance of Outcome Measures
Outcome measures focus on improvements in patients' mental health. They allow clinicians to measure the impact of their treatment decisions and do so over time (i.e., measurement-based care). An example: The percentage of patients adhering to their medication regimen before and after treatment. Such outcome measures help clinicians make data-driven decisions about changes that need to be made or where treatment should be continued or enhanced.
Self-report screeners and assessments can generate much of this data and support efforts to measure progress and wellness. For example, scales like the Sheehan Disability Scale or Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale can be used over time to monitor patients' state-of-mind and can be effective treatment progress indicators. Patient-reported outcome performance measures (PRO-PMs) include pain, functional limitations, energy, and emotional distress.
Both clinicians and patients may track outcome measures. In behavioral health, patient reports are particularly important because it can be difficult for clinicians to actually "see" or observe improvements or identify any decline in mental health.
It's important to make a distinction between valid, behavioral health improvement-related outcome measures and patient satisfaction. A client may indicate that they're satisfied with their treatment, and yet an outcome measure — like the number of times the patient has visited the emergency room because of feelings of anxiety — would tell an entirely different story.
Getting Started with the Use of Outcomes-Focused Measures
It can be a bit overwhelming when first getting started with using outcomes-focused measures. There are a wide range of outcome measurement tools for mental health to consider. Fortunately, there are resources available to help you establish a foundation for moving forward with outcomes measures and choosing solutions that can best help you support those with mental illness. The Kennedy Forum, for instance, has published "A Core Set of Outcome Measures for Behavioral Health Across Service Settings."
Healthcare organizations and their providers need to consider the different types of patients they treat based on specific diagnoses, desired outcomes, and methods of evaluating those desired outcomes through physician and patient reporting. Standardizing this evaluation across patient or client groups can help provide comparative information and identify best practices and opportunities for improvement.
In addition, clinicians can seek input from patients about the types of outcomes they would consider as signs of their own improvement and incorporate these measures into care plans. Involving patients in this process is important and helps them feel a greater sense of responsibility for their own improvement.
Mental health has become a concern for everyone involved in delivering care. Considering how to best measure progress in mental health is a critical element of effective treatment and one that needs to be incorporated throughout the care continuum.

What's different about the Gujarat poll campaign?
Unlike in the past, the campaign in the Gujarat 2017 elections has several unusual features. Here are the most significant.
Narendra Modi: When Modi thundered "Hun vikas chhoon, hun Gujarat chhoon (I am development, I am Gujarat)," in Gandhinagar last month, for most Gujaratis, he was right. The BJP in Gujarat means Modi and no other leader in the party enjoys the trust and goodwill he does. Even those who criticise the party and its policies add a footnote: "Modi theek hein. He works hard for the state and the country." Voters have questions and apprehensions about the Gujarat model of governance but his image is unblemished.
Rahul Gandhi: Whether his party wins in Gujarat or not, the Congress Vice President could be the biggest gainer from the ongoing campaign. The BJP and its supporters might have ridiculed him in the past but Rahul has emerged as a sensible and serious leader to reckon with in the last one month. It's not just that he hasn't made any faux pas but that he has earned the respect of a wide range of people in the state. This has forced the BJP to change its tactics – sources say PM Modi would attack him and the Gandhi family more intensely during his campaign.
With a reach-out-to-all programme schedule and a carefully-crafted social media campaign, the Congress team and his aides appear to have made the unexpected possible – the Congress is a challenger in the Gujarat 2017 elections. Voters in different parts of the Saurashtra region, agreed that Rahul's campaign has contributed to making this a tough election for the BJP. However, can his party and its network transform acceptability into votes? That's highly debatable.
Patidars: Hardik Patel draws large crowds where ever he goes. The Patidars are angry primarily because they feel the BJP has taken them and their support for granted. Patidars, its leader say, were never calculating voters and they stood by what was good for Gujarat. They have backed Modi through thick and thin. According to them, there are at least 106 (of 182) seats influenced by Patel votes. In 2012, of the 48 Patel candidates who won at the polls, 38 were from the BJP. Patidars are estimated to account for roughly one-eighth of Gujarat's 6 crore-odd population.
Despite the visible support for the quota agitation and the disturbing crisis in the farm sector, the entire community is unlikely to vote against the BJP. A voter in Dhasa, in Botad district put it like this: "Here, Patels are still with the BJP, but if you travel five kilometers, you will find Patidars who have turned towards the Congress." It's not the caste division – between the sub castes of Leuva, Kadva – nor the differences in social class that splits their votes, it's more area-specific.
Caste: After three decades, caste has become a factor in the Gujarat elections. It was former Congress Chief Minister Madhavsinh Solanki who had stitched together different groups to come up with a KHAM formula – Kshatriya, Harijan, Adivasi and Muslims – to mark a record 141 seats victory in 1980. When nearly 40 per cent of the state's population came together, the Patidars turned towards the BJP.
From the 1990s, BJP has consolidated the Hindu vote and the hatred/suspicion towards Muslims has kept the Hindu vote intact for the party. When Hardik launched his agitation in 2015, the BJP immediately faced the consequences. In the 2015 panchayat election, the BJP won just 73 panchayats while the Congress had 132. Hardik, OBC leader Alpesh Thakur and Dalit leader Jignesh Mewani together have shifted the assembly election scene now –more than religion, caste matters now. The Una incident has also had its fallout: after Dalits were flogged by cow vigilante activists, the ensuing protests have punctured the "we-are-Hindus" network that has helped the BJP in the past.
Fear factor: In Gujarat, it's very difficult to get people to talk. There is a reluctance to talk to the media – people do not want to "waste" time. But there is fear as well. Some businessmen even record their conversations with media people. Leaders of small organisations will speak to the media only if they have a trustworthy reference. However, many political observers say this is the first time the electorate in rural areas have come out in huge numbers to openly support the Opposition leaders.
Change: One does not know how far this yearning for change, palpable in some voters in urban and rural areas, will translate into votes against the ruling BJP government. But leaders of the business community and farming community admit that a section of voters want to "teach the BJP a lesson" as they feel that the party leaders in the state have become arrogant and divorced from reality.
Interestingly, there is no sign of any ideological shift among voters. Even those critics who are crying for change, feel the BJP is their natural choice. Therefore, the anger could be temporary. The majority do not see the Congress as an alternative. Being out of power for 23 years, the party does not have the organisational network nor does have it charismatic leaders to turn the feeling of discontent into support for its candidates.

Hundreds of US families have been trying for a year to adopt children from China. They're still waiting
Posted: Mar 26, 2021 12:31 PM CST
Gayle Manchin, an educator and wife of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, has been nominated to serve as the federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, the White House said in a news release Friday. By Nora Neus, CNN
(CNN) -- On a gorgeous spring afternoon, Aimee and Stephen Welch are playing with their five kids in their sun-drenched New Jersey backyard, taking a break from the grind of virtual schooling and working from home.
But their laughs on the swings and shrieks on the trampoline belie a deep sense of sadness -- because one person is missing. It's now been a year since they had their bags packed and hotels booked for a trip to China to adopt their sixth child, a 7-year-old named Penelope.
Then, the coronavirus pandemic hit.
A weekslong delay turned into months as, by early March 2020, China suspended the country's foreign adoption program. One year later, they are still stuck in limbo.
"Every time I go into her room and just see her pink bed there, that no one has slept in and the drawers full of clothes that have probably been outgrown before they could ever be worn," Aimee Welch told CNN's Poppy Harlow, "it's just a heartbreaking reality."
According to the State Department, about 400 American families' adoptions of children in China were put on hold because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
'A new way of looking at the world'
Aimee and Stephen Welch are now also preparing to raise their daughters -- and sons -- as reports of acts anti-Asian hate spike in the United States.
Over the last year, Asian Americans have been the targets of verbal and physical assaults. Many Asian groups have blamed the climate of hate and fear on the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump, who referred to Covid-19 as the "China virus" or "kung flu."
Between March and December 2020, 2,808 complaints were reported to Stop AAPI Hate. The nonprofit organization, which tracks racist encounters reported by Asian Americans, says some 9% of those incidents involved physical assaults and 71% included verbal harassment.
"We're a transracial family," Stephen Welch said. "And so figuring out what that looks like and how to help our daughters grow up in a society where right now there is antagonism and microaggressions and things that I might not have previously been aware of, the situation forces kind of a new way of looking at the world."
"We really want this to be an ongoing effort because it's not just that we are bringing children from China into our home, but we're committed to being in a Chinese American family," Aimee Welch said.
"We want to have that lens where we don't just have a few Chinese decorations in their bedroom, but this is something that imbues our family. And we want to honor and celebrate where they come from, as well as where they're going."
Families face devastating consequences
For some families, the wait means devastating consequences.
That includes a family living in Massachusetts that was supposed to adopt a 3-year-old girl with severe medical issues from China in January 2020.
Their adopted daughter was born with a condition known as arthrogryposis, which in her case has led to clubfeet.
Now 5 years old, she's not yet able to walk, and is in desperate need of the occupational and physical therapy she would receive in the United States, according to her would-be adoptive parents.
"We definitely have seen a decline over the last two years based on photos we've seen," her adoptive mother tells CNN. "I don't know if anyone is even moving her. I don't know if anyone is standing her on her legs ... We've really seen her plateau and even a regression."
"In all these pictures recently, she just looks so sad," she added.
Even for families without as dire medical issues, the wait is likely only compounding the trauma these adopted children are facing.
"I often think, (how does) a 6-year-old, now 7-year-old ... process something like that?" Stephen Welch told Harlow.
"She knows we're coming. She draws pictures of a house with mommy and daddy written on it. My heart aches to just think through how is she processing it, right? The parental instinct wants to comfort and reach out and assure (but) we're worlds apart."
The trauma extends to the children
The trauma and disappointment extends to their children stateside as well. Seventeen-year-old Zachary Welch should have enjoyed one last year at home with his new sister Penelope before leaving for college.
"Missing out on that time with her has been disappointing because I want to be able to be present in my siblings' lives and it feels a little bit like that's been taken away because we've lost that time together," he said.
Penelope may not even come home before Zachary moves out.
Even little 4-year-old Grace, exuberant and energetic, understands some of what is happening to her future big sister. "She's still in China! Some people are sick and we can't go on the plane," she told Harlow.
In a February 2021 letter to families, the Chinese government said foreign adoptions are suspended due to Covid-19, but did not provide any information on when they might resume.
"Before resuming adoption registration, we will actively cooperate with local civil affairs departments and child welfare agencies by the rehabilitation needs of adoptive families," the letter said.
The US State Department told CNN they "have made clear" to China "the importance of resuming intercountry adoptions as a high priority and as soon as health conditions allow." The department said it is committed to working with China to find a solution.
The Chinese government did not respond to CNN's requests for additional comment.
'We're not blaming China'
Aimee and Stephen Welch have been advocating for their cause with other waiting families by writing letters to their congressman and senators.
"We're not blaming China for wanting to be cautious," Stephen Welch said. "But for these children that don't have families, the benefits of moving forward outweigh the risks."
Aimee Welch said this should be a win-win situation for the US and China.
"This is not a hard issue. This is an issue where everyone is on the same page that we want these children to land in families. It's just a matter of getting it done," she said.
In the meantime, the Welch family -- separated by an ocean -- are making the most of their time waiting. In China, Penelope is taking English lessons, while 10-year-old Caleb Welch is taking Mandarin online in New Jersey.

Haväng (Suède): Researchers Find Submerged Mesolithic Settlement
Enrico de Lazaro
Source - http://www.sci-news.com/archaeology/submerged-mesolithic-settlement-sweden-04366.html
A team of researchers headed by Lund University's Professor Dan Hammarlund has uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved Mesolithic site off the Baltic Sea coast at Haväng in south-eastern Sweden. They believe the location was a lagoon environment where ancient humans lived during parts of the year.
9,000 year-old antler pick axe; the imprint of the broken tip could still be seen in the sediments, as shown by the red contours; the yellow ruler measures 20 cm. Image credit: Arne Sjöström.
"The submerged landscape at Haväng is unique, as the excellent preservation of both natural and cultural objects and the longevity of the site are rarely seen in other submerged Mesolithic sites," Prof. Hammarlund and co-authors said.
Changes in the sea level have allowed the findings to be preserved deep below the sea surface.
"Organic-rich sediment ridges with abundant wood remains and archaeological artifacts extend 3 km from the modern coast to depths of at least 20 m below the present sea level," the scientists said.
"This exceptionally well-preserved material gives evidence of a lagoonal environment surrounded by a pine-dominated forest, which was inhabited by Mesolithic humans during two low-stand phases of the Baltic Basin, from the Yoldia Sea stage to the Initial Littorina Sea stage (11,700-8,000 years ago)."
Prof. Hammarlund and his colleagues from Lund University and the National Historical Museums drilled into the seabed and radiocarbon dated the core, as well as examined pollen and diatoms.
They also produced a bathymetrical map that reveals depth variations.
"As geologists, we want to recreate this area and understand how it looked. Was it warm or cold? How did the environment change over time?" said Lund University researcher Anton Hansson, a team member and first author of a paper reporting the results in the journal Quaternary International.

The team also made several spectacular finds, including 9,000-year-old stationary fish traps and a pick axe made out of elk antlers.
"Bones and antlers of red deer with slaughter marks and a unique pick axe made of elk antler provide evidence of human exploitation of terrestrial resources," the scientists said.
"Of great interest are the remains of various kinds of stationary fishing equipment made of hazel wood; weirs, wattles, posts and fences," they added.
"In total, eight fishing constructions have been found at Haväng, and two of these constructions have been radiocarbon dated to 9,200-8,400 years ago."
"These fishing constructions are the oldest known of its kind in northern Europe, and demonstrate exploitation of riverine fish at Haväng."
"If you want to fully understand how humans dispersed from Africa, and their way of life, we also have to find all their settlements," Hansson said.
"Quite a few of these are currently underwater, since the sea level is higher today than during the last glaciation. Humans have always preferred coastal sites."

Q: Persistence with Callbacks | Object Properties vs. Function Parameters I noticed that I've been using both in my code - interchangeably and randomly.   Particularly, when I have a call back and I need a value to persist when the function is "called back".  Does it matter whether you use passed parameters or static parameters?  By static I mean function object properties.  I'm using the term loosely.  Here is the example I'm working on.
    message_object.display( type );
    document.getElementById( 'po_but_cov' ).style.display='inline';
    pos = 30;
    MC.MATweet.movePane.dir = 'down';
    MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos );

    return o_p;
},
movePane: function( pane_element, pos ) {
    if( ( MC.MATweet.movePane.dir === 'down' ) && ( pos < 70 ) ) {
        pos += 1;
        pane_element.style.top = ( pos ) + 'px';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos ); }, 1 );
    }
    else if( ( MC.MATweet.movePane.dir === 'down' ) && pos === 70 ) {
        MC.MATweet.movePane.dir = 'up';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos ); }, 2000 );
    }
    else if( ( MC.MATweet.movePane.dir === 'up' ) && ( pos > 30 ) ) {
        pos -= 1;
        pane_element.style.top = ( pos ) + 'px';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos ); }, 1 );
    }
    else if( ( MC.MATweet.movePane.dir === 'up' ) && ( pos === 30 ) ) {
        document.getElementById( 'po_but_cov' ).style.display='none';
    }
},

As you can see I use pos as a passed parameter and I use MC.MATweet.movePane.dir as a static parameter.  I need both available when the function is called back after set amount of time.
I'd like to make the style of my code more consistent.  For some reason, the value that changes more, pos, I passed as a parameter, and the value that changes only once MC.MATweet.movePane.dir I used as a static variable.  Don't think this is relevant, just reflecting.
How can I be more consistent?  Does it matter which one you choose?
FYI, this code just animates a box, moving it down, pausing, and moving it back up.

A: Went ahead with straight parameters for now so I could move initialization into the initial function call.
Resulting code:
    message_object.display( type );
    document.getElementById( 'po_but_cov' ).style.display='inline';
    MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, 30, 'down' );

    return o_p;
},
movePane: function( pane_element, pos, dir ) {
    if( ( dir === 'down' ) && ( pos < 70 ) ) {
        pos += 1;
        pane_element.style.top = ( pos ) + 'px';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos, dir ); }, 1 );
    }
    else if( ( dir === 'down' ) && pos === 70 ) {
        dir = 'up';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos, dir ); }, 2000 );
    }
    else if( ( dir === 'up' ) && ( pos > 30 ) ) {
        pos -= 1;
        pane_element.style.top = ( pos ) + 'px';
        setTimeout( function( ){ MC.MATweet.movePane( pane_element, pos, dir ); }, 1 );
    }
    else if( ( dir === 'up' ) && ( pos === 30 ) ) {
        document.getElementById( 'po_but_cov' ).style.display='none';
    }
},

Two teams from the United States' second and fourth divisions have partnered to force the issue of implementing promotion and relegation.
The North American Soccer League's Miami FC and the National Premier Soccer League's Kingston Stockade FC filed a claim with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland on Thursday morning to force the U.S. Soccer Federation to adopt the open system used in leagues across the world.
Miami and Kingston Stockade filed the claim together, but separately from their respective leagues. NASL owners were not informed of the Miami FC owner Riccardo Silva's intentions before the filing was made public. Last year, the NASL sent a letter to U.S. Soccer threatening andanti-trust lawsuit over proposed changes to division sanctioning.
Thursday's claim boils down to an essential, frequent complaint — since U.S. Soccer refuses to follow FIFA's mandate and establish promotion and relegation, owners of lower-division teams are prevented from seeing their investments rewarded the same way as others operating in a promotion and relegation system.
CONCACAF is listed as a defendant in the claim alongside FIFA and U.S. Soccer. Miami and Kingston Stockade contend that they are denied access to "premium club market" both in the region and globally as a result of Major League Soccer teams having the only shot at three of the country's four allotted spots in the CONCACAF Champions League. Lower-division teams can only reach the tournament — which offers a chance to qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup — by winning the U.S. Open Cup. Only one lower division team has won the Open Cup since MLS was launched in 1996.
Last week it was reported that Miami's owner had a $4 billion offer to manage MLS' international media rights rejected by the league. Silva's one stipulation to the offer was that MLS and U.S. Soccer implement promotion and relegation. Because contractual stipulations with its current media partners, MLS was not able to engage in talks with Silva about the offer, but MLS officials noted the league was not interested in having a conversation about promotion and relegation anyway.


Jim Elliot was part of five missionaries who went to bring the gospel to the Auca Indians in Ecuador in the 20th Century. They were killed for their work and mission, but the Lord used it to inspire many more people to become missionaries.
This article gives the account of Nate Saint and his colleagues who evangelized to the Huaoranis in Ecuador. God used their death at the hands of the Huaorani men to open the door for mission work.

Q: Fastest way to build a graph of called functions and objects I have task to remove all unused code from a third-party library. That is, I have a function that calls several other functions and objects, which in turn also call something. In particular, I'm talking about the GDAL library, I only need one function from there, and I don't want to increase the source code of my program tenfold.
I've tried using the "breadth-first search" similarity to go through all the functions (in my head), but the complexity of this is growing very quickly.
The question is, what is the fastest way to build a graph of called functions and objects and remove unnecessary ones?

Plus ca change...
You know, I grew up in the fifties, when the twin titans of enlightenment were Time Inc. and Pravda. Henry Luce assured us that that there were Commies under the bed, that China was the linchpin of the free world and Joseph McCarthy's Poodle, G. David Schine was the modern Jesus. Pravda, naturally, was paving the way for the inevitable triumph of the masses, "Real soon now", and daily castigating the Capitalist Hegemonists and Imperialist Running Dogs. Oh,wait; do I hear JOOOOOOZ? Thanks, Rusty.
Well, in the fullness of time, things do change - a bit. Time now attempts to mainain its magesterial dignity in the hope that it won't get caught pandering to the great unwashed of the Left. Pravda has retained its surly America - bashing.
Extracted from the above article is this gem of alliteration worthy of Mayakovsky.
Diplomacy, debate, dialogue and discussion are the basic precepts of democracy, a word much referred to by the USA but unfortunately not practised in principle and diplomacy, debate, dialogue and discussion are for sure the four words which summarise Moscow'sforeign policy, while Washington's continues to be dominated by bullying, blackmail, belligerence and bullishness.
But wait! There's more!
Pravda has also kept up the thread of Soviet Scientific Triumphalism. It used to be that we were crushed to read that, unlike our ideologically - censored textbooks told us, the Telephone was invented by a RUSSIAN! The Airplane was invented by a RUSSIAN! The Submarine was inventd by a RUSSIAN!. And, DEMOCRACY was invented by, wait for it; a RUSSIAN!
Now we find that the Soviets were ahead of us in the race to Mars and the conquest of Time. Even their Teenage Girls have, uh, gone where ours fear to tread. Note: This last might not be considered PG by all readers.
So rejoice, reader, ...plus la meme chose.
And if you don't believe it, Say what you want! PRAVDA.Ru will hear you! And maybe the FSB.
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy II
On a much more pleasant note, I'd like to extend birthday wishes to this lady and this lady


The lounge and dining areas offer some stunning views over the course. There is no better place in which to entertain friends and colleagues in comfort and to choose from a range of bar snacks to fine dining meals supplied from our excellent kitchen.
Our dining room can seat well over 100 people and still leave room for a good sized dance floor. The layout also lends itself to small business meetings and breakfast clubs as well as large training courses or conferences. We can accommodate private functions, including wedding receptions and anniversary celebrations, throughout the year at very competitive rates.
Societies are most welcome with a range of packages to suit all occasions and budgets, all tailored to providing a great day out. During the summer months, depending on the vagaries of the English climate, the restaurant opens out on to a large patio area overlooking the 18th green.
There are two clubhouse bars with a great array of wines, spirits and beers including guest bitters. The 'Spike' bar is the ideal '19th hole' for a quick drink after a game of golf and catch up with the sport results from extensive TV coverage.

Business Contract Terms (Assignment of Receivables) Regulations 2018 in force
Applying to certain contracts created after 31 December 2018, the effect at the Business Contract Terms (Assignment of Receivables) Regulations 2018 (the Regulations) is that parties will no longer be able to prohibit the assignment of receivables in the UK.
These provisions are aimed at improving access to invoice financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The government speculates that this will provide a £1bn, long-term, boost to the economy.
Invoice financing allows businesses to assign their right to be paid by a customer (known as "receivables") to a finance provider. In return the finance provider provides the business with up-front funds. Prior to 1 January 2019, smaller businesses would usually be forced to engage with larger businesses on their standard terms, which often contained non-assignment clauses. Therefore, smaller businesses were previously restricted from engaging with invoice financing opportunities. Under the Regulations, non-assignment clauses are void and unenforceable.
The Regulations apply to contracts for the supply of goods, services or intangible assets where the supplier has the right to be paid under the contract. They will not apply retrospectively (except where a contract has been extensively amended). Therefore, most retailers only need to consider new contracts entered into after 31 December 2018.
However, there are a number of exceptions, which retailers should be aware of, including:
the Regulations do not apply if the supplier assigning is not an SME, but is a large enterprise or part of a large group
contracts "for, or entered into in connection with, prescribed financial services" are excluded
contracts for certain commodities, project finance, energy, land, share purchase and business purchase contracts and operating leases are excluded.
As a general rule, the Regulations only apply to contracts governed by English law but they prevent parties using a foreign law to evade the Regulations.
What action should you take?
When negotiating new contracts, note that any non-assignment of receivable clauses included in supply contracts (not subject to one of the exceptions) will be automatically void.

Billy Joel – 52nd Street (1978): A little show parade
Dan S. / March 13, 2013
Album rating: 4.5 stars (out of 5)
52nd Street is The Stranger's jazzy little cousin, not quite so sophisticated or psychologically complex but a gem in its own right.
Instead of basking in his new superstardom, Billy Joel hurried back into the recording studio after The Stranger elevated him to top of the charts and to magazine covers.
The result is that 52nd Street is not quite so deeply felt and personal as The Stranger, but equally inspired musically. Phil Ramone returns as producer and, on the whole, does even better than he did on The Stranger. Every track here sounds just right and avoids feeling dated 35 years later, which can't be said for Just the Way You Are.
There's a certain argument to be made that 52nd Street is a "re-write" of The Stranger. You can definitely find some thematic similarities — Zanzibar, Stiletto, and Rosalinda's Eyes are just as horny, slyly derogatory, and swooning (respectively) as Only the Good Die Young, She's Always a Woman, and Just the Way You Are.
But 52nd Street is inventive enough enough musically and strong enough in its compositions to never feel like a re-tread. Joel's words are shallower and less compelling than The Stranger or Turnstiles, but it's every bit the equal to those peaks in its performances and tunes.
There's a disjointed feeling to 52nd Street: the opening three tracks sound like a direct sequel to single machine The Stranger, while the rest of the album is a mini-concept album of Joel integrating disparate jazz styles into pop compositions.
Fortunately, virtually every component of 52nd Street works, and the package as a whole is satisfying, fun, and dense with classics.
Joel opens the album with three reactions to his new superstar fame: none of them positive looks, but all of them great singles.
Before he broke big, it always seemed like Joel careened towards stardom reluctantly. From his opening album onward, he has struggled with the cognitive dissonance between his appealing sound and a resentment for the growing fame his music brought him.
Thus, it's no surprise that Joel has his apprehensions with his new attention. From his regrets at his substance-fueled bad behavior and abrasiveness (Big Shot) to his lack of privacy (My Life) to the brown-nosers (Honesty), Joel seems focused on the downsides of huge success.
The cream of this crop is My Life, one of the best singles Joel ever released. It's a fine bit of pop alchemy. Joel and Ramone transmute various sounds into a radio-ready gem. The background gospel choir mesh brilliantly with the keyboard part, the piano, and the guitar strums to delectable effect.
My Life has had a fantastic durability, and it remains a staple of oldies and mix radio stations. In fact, the radio cut may be the best version of the song: the piano verse (present on the album track, cut on the radio version) is nice, but redundant and drags the track out to almost five minutes.
Big Shot, meanwhile, boasts a stylized and perfectly executed vocal performance from Billy Joel. I've heard live versions and covers, and they're not pretty: Joel's always underrated vocal versatility elevates the song to greatness.
The lyrics of Big Shot seem more ominous knowing the substance abuse that Joel has struggled with in recent years. Though Joel seems to be addressing someone else in the lyrics who parties a little bit too hard and loses control, it's hard not to think that he was writing this song to himself.
I'm of two minds regarding Honesty. The song's blunt lyrics, begging for some impossible honesty, struck a chord with a large audience. But I find them off-putting and whiny rather than earnest. This is an instance where Joel's self-pity crosses over into unpleasant.
Fortunately, the lamenting ballad that backs up Honesty connects far more than the lyrics. Joel again gives a splendid vocal performance and prevents the song from breaking under its own weight.
Tracks four through nine present a different twist on Joel's refined sound. Each has a structural or sonic twist inspired by some flavor of jazz. From the instrumentation, to the intros and riffs between verses, to syncopated background beats, each track appropriates something unconventional to make this a particularly memorable stretch of non-singles.
The two most striking songs here are Zanzibar and Stiletto. The former is stylized with some unusual chords, long boppy trumpet solos, and references to a jazz bar. Though it's adventurous and memorable, it's one of the least successful tracks on the album. The trumpet solos — impressively performed by the late Freddie Hubbard — break up the momentum of the track and feel out of place.
The lyrics of Zanzibar, too, weigh the track down. Joel's lusting for a waitress is infinitely less charming (and less perversely funny) than his ode to Catholic school girls, Only the Good Die Young. His "I'm a big boy now" frat refrain mixed with some fairly obtuse sports metaphors do little to help.
Stiletto, on the other hand, works brilliantly. Its syncopated, boogie-woogie piano in the background is the most memorable feature of the song, but the energetic melody and jaded lyrics are also strong points.
Equally strong is ballad Rosalinda's Eyes, a ballad written from the perspective of his dad about his mom. The Latin jazz keyboard intro is a bit soggy, but Joel's heartfelt vocal performance, and, moreso, his impassioned lyrics steal the show. This may be the most under-appreciated ballad in Joel's discography. The line "I can always find my Cuban skies in Rosalinda's eyes" is probably my favorite lyric about pretty eyes (with apologies to the Old 97's Big Brown Eyes).
The high mark of the album continues with the uptempo Half a Mile Away. The brass instrumentation suggests an unorthodox, jazzy composition, but this is pure pop bliss. Joel and his band wouldn't sound more like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons until Uptown Girl. I still think of Half a Mile Away as one of Joel's most surprising non-singles.
Half a Mile Away explores Joel's lingering blue collar streak and his attempt to reconcile his celebrity with his laid back, everyman roots. From a thematic perspective, it's one of the most interesting tracks on the album.
But the most fascinating track on the album is the show-stopping, Broadway ballad Until the Night. A repeating bass chord gives the song an emotional heartbeat, and the string orchestra ramps up the theatrical intensity.
The music matches the beautiful lyrics Joel penned to accompany it. Joel sings about postponed love and rekindled passion with such intensity that it's hard to believe it wasn't written for someone special.
Until the Night would have served as a memorable conclusion to 52nd Street, but Joel opted to go out an throwaway grace note. It's a shame. 52nd Street, the name of the closing track, has little more than a nice piano riff to distinguish itself.
The closing track ends a streak dating back to the first track of Turnstiles of every one of Joel's tracks being good or great or, at a minimum, daring. He always finds opening tracks that capture the spirit of his albums, but rarely does Joel end albums on a high point.
The minor missteps of the album do little to tarnish 52nd Street's luster. Hits like My Life and Big Shot shine, but it's the back end of album tracks that really give 52nd Street its jazzy soul. Rosalinda's Eyes, Stiletto, Until the Night, and Half a Mile Away should be on the short list of any Joel fan looking to explore tracks beyond Greatest Hits albums.
It's not as intensely personal or revealing as The Stranger, but 52nd Street is nearly as convincing and spectacular. It's one of Joel's best albums.

Taraji P. Henson Reveals the Timeframe for Her Wedding to Kelvin Hayden: 'I'm Marrying My Best Friend'
By Dan Clarendon
Kelvin Hayden and Taraji P. Henson Kevin Mazur/WireImage
Taraji P. Henson's wedding to Kelvin Hayden is still months away, but is she eager to get the show on the road?
"Oh God, yeah," the 48-year-old exclusively told Us Weekly at her Boutique of Hope charity event on Saturday, September 22. "Because I'm marrying my best friend. I know that's cliché, but it's the truth."
Henson also revealed that her nuptials with the 35-year-old NFL alum will be a small affair. "Close family and friends," she told Us. "All my family, all his family are close friends. Small, intimate."
Taraji P. Henson's Top TV and Movie Roles
The Empire actress also let slip the timeframe for her wedding, saying, "It'll be next summer, end of June, early July."
Henson announced her engagement to Hayden in May. "I said yes y'all!!!" she wrote in the caption to an Instagram pic of her engagement ring. "He dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!! 😩😩😂😂😂#sheisofficiallyoffthemarket and she is sooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!! #GODIS 💍💋💋💋."
That diamond stunner, however, was nowhere to be seen at the event on Saturday. "My ring is in the shop right now," Henson told Us. "The setting is too small for the rock."
Celebrity Weddings of 2018
Amid all the wedding excitement, Henson hosted the Los Angeles event for an important cause: the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, which the actress named after her late father, who struggled with PTSD after serving in the Vietnam War.
"The reason why this is such a passion for me is because I think the stigma around mental illness [is] just horrible," the Golden Globe winner told Us. "We're human. We're expected to be tough and strong all the time, but that's impossible. You see what's going on in the world."
She continued, "I just felt there was something missing, especially in the African American community … It's taboo in our community. We have to change that. Then all of a sudden, this was born, and I was like, it has to be called the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. I have to honor my dad."

"Typical of Putin's re-enactment": views from Berlin about voting in Russia
The Berlin experts on Russian domestic politics doubt the authenticity of the results of voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Russian opposition are predicting hard times.
"Typical of Putin's re-enactment" – describes the results of the vote on the amendments to the Constitution of the Federation of German historian and political scientist Susanne span (Susanne Spahn). According to her, legal amendments were necessary because the majority voted on the provisions already enshrined in Federal law. The whole purpose of voting was to ensure, to guarantee Vladimir Putin being in power until 2036, says span. And the vote itself, she describes as "a mix of a vote of confidence in Putin, public opinion polls and legislative initiatives."
A vote of confidence to Putin on the background of falling popularity
National vote of confidence in the President was due to declining ratings of Putin, says Susannah span. In some public opinion polls his popularity has dropped to 25 percent, she says. The second purpose of the vote – handing out promises of social guarantees for different segments of the population, linked into a package with the vote for the extension of the powers of the President.
With regard to the circumstances of the vote, span calls them "funny". Because the procedure was prolonged for a week, it is almost impossible to control. Voters could vote in the most unexpected places, and some did it more than once. Was involved an administrative resource, coercion, and sometimes even physical violence. All this gives grounds to say that as a form of voting and its result is extremely doubtful, says span. She quotes a famous saying of Stalin that "no matter how they vote, and it is important how to count" and said that the motto of the elections in Russia are held for a long time.
The vote at the peak of the pandemic
"It is also interesting to watch as Putin, who wants to appear national leader that cares about the welfare of the population, votes in the midst of a pandemic, – the expert continues. – And thus deliberately risking the health of people. In General, the reason for this plebiscite was not a medical nor legal point of view."
The head of Moscow representative office of the German Foundation Friedrich Naumann Julius von Freytag-of Loringhoven (Julius von Freytag-Loringhoven) the result of the vote was not surprised. "Putin is still June 12, suggested that the majority of voters will vote correctly. And election officials across the country have put this effort" – said the expert.
In this case on the merits in the political scenario, nothing changes, Putin has kept and keeps the country under control, says von Freytag-Loringhoven. "At least now he has created a constitutional option to remain President until 2036, which will allow him to avoid any discussions about a successor in the coming decades", – says the analyst.
Russian opposition faces hard times
As for the prospects of the democratic opposition, on the eve of the vote, it became clear that the authorities will suppress any criticism of the amendments, said the head of the Moscow representative office of the Foundation Nauman. He regards it as evidence of the nervousness of the Russian authorities amid the deteriorating economic situation, rising unemployment and a falling rating of the President. Therefore, the opposition faces tough times, he said.
German expert admits the possibility of large-scale falsification of election results, the procedure is not consistent with even the Russian electoral law. In areas were no cameras, no sealed boxes, no required number of independent observers. "A high turnout and a high percentage voted "Yes" in the referendum, the outcome of which was known in advance – to me, it sounds doubtful," commented Julius von Freytag-Loringhoven.
As for the reaction of the European and German politicians on the voting results, it seems, he said that they are not particularly interested in what is happening in Russia, because they are employed in the solution of national problems in connection with the pandemic. "However, the prospect that Putin will remain in power until 2036, making important investments in the German-Russian dialogue," – he said, adding that the German government should behave with Russia more consistently, avoiding situations in which certain Ministers are contrary to the policy of the Chancellor.
