BACKGROUND STORY:

Anastasia Graham was born in Birmingham to Henry and Amelia Graham. Her father, a dedicated member of the Guard of Priwen—a society of vampire hunters—instilled in her an early sense of resilience, while her mother, a compassionate medic, inspired Anastasia's passion for healing. Determined to follow in her mother’s footsteps, Anastasia committed herself to the study of medicine from a young age.

Her life took a dark turn one evening when she was nearly attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire. She was saved just in time by a Priwen hunter, but the incident left a lasting impression on her. To help her feel safe, her father entrusted her with a silver knife, a small but powerful symbol of protection should she ever face such danger again.

As she grew, Anastasia remained focused on her goal of becoming a nurse, eventually securing formal education in the medical field. This path led her to London during the height of the Spanish Flu epidemic, a devastating time that demanded all hands on deck in the healthcare sector. It was then that Dr. Edgar Swansea, who recognized her potential and the urgent need for additional medical staff, invited her to join the Pembroke Hospital team.

Under the mentorship of Dorothy Crane, Anastasia Graham dedicated herself to serving the patients of Pembroke Hospital, striving to emulate Dorothy’s own unwavering commitment to compassionate care. Despite the harsh conditions, she went to great lengths to ensure each patient was treated with dignity and that their needs were met. Yet, the onslaught of suffering patients as the Spanish Flu ravaged the city took a toll on her. With each new wave, the pain, fear, and despair around her intensified, and Anastasia began to feel overwhelmed. Though determined to stay strong, she found herself teetering on the edge of exhaustion.

One evening, while rushing through the dim, crowded halls of Pembroke, Anastasia noticed a new figure in the hospital. Tall and composed, he moved through the chaos with a calm, almost unearthly presence that commanded attention. He was a doctor, recently arrived and eager to join the fight against the epidemic. When their eyes met, Anastasia felt a strange sense of foreboding—and fascination. Unaware of the true nature of the man she was drawn to, she sensed that her life was about to take an irrevocable turn.

[ 📹 Wounded civilians, including a young child, are brought to a hospital in Gaza after the Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential home belonging to the Shaat family in the Maraj neighborhood, northeast of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday. 📈 The death toll in Gaza has risen again, now exceeding 36'171 Palestinians killed, while another 81'420 others have been wounded since Oct. 7th, 2023. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

236 DAYS OF GENOCIDE IN GAZA: ISRAELI TANKS ROLL THROUGH CENTRAL RAFAH, WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS ISRAELI OCCUPATION DOES NOT VIOLATE BIDEN'S RED LINE, OCCUPATION BOMBS TENTS IN 'SAFE ZONE' OF AL-MAWASI, GENOCIDE CONTINUES UNABATED

On 236th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 6 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 75 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 284 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands, of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

"The Israelis have said this was a tragic mistake," US National Security spokesperson, John Kirby, makes excuses for the Israeli occupation's bombing of a UNRWA displacement camp for Palestinian refugees in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, two nights ago that resulted in the deaths of at least 45 Palestinians and wounded 249 others.

The response came after Kirby was asked whether the slaughter in the displacement camp qualified as the kind of "death and destruction" Biden claimed he didn't want to see in Rafah, drawing a "red line" at an Israeli invasion of Gaza's southernmost city.

Kirby claimed the US doesn't have "a measuring stick here or a quota," going on to add that "We've also said we don't want to see a major ground operation in Rafah that would really make it hard for the Israelis to go after Hamas without causing extensive damage and potentially a large number of deaths. We have not seen that yet."

This comes at the same time as Israeli tanks and armored vehicles have been confirmed to have advanced into eastern, western and central Rafah, including Merkava tanks and remotely controlled M113 armored personnel carriers, which the Israeli media says are conducting operations "east of Rafah and advancing towards the center and west of the city."

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stated that "our forces are operating in Rafah with the aim of disbanding the Hamas battalions in Rafah, rocket launchers, heavy artillery, ammunition and terrorist tunnels."

Occupation forces are also operating along the "Philadelphi axis," south of Rafah, which they claim have discovered dozens of tunnels leading from Gaza into the Egyptian Sinai.

Occupation army officials were quoted in the Hebrew media as saying that "the operation in Rafah is progressing precisely with all the complexities- a million people have already been evacuated [forcefully displaced] from the city."

The Israeli occupation forces also said that the "Nahal Brigade," led by the 162nd Division is fighting in ongoing operations in Rafah, destroying so-called "terrorist infrastructure."

In the meantime, the Israeli occupation committed a new horrific massacre of innocent civilians, when occupation warplanes fired several missiles into the tents of displaced Palestinian refugees in the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing at least 21 civilians and wounding 64 others, at least 10 of whom remain in critical condition.

In response to the purposeful massacre, the Israeli occupation disavowed their responsibility for the strike, claiming on Tuesday evening that "contrary to reports received in the past few hours, the Israeli army did not attack the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi," without elucidating on the details.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Hamas resistance movement stated that the "Zionist enemy" continues to "target the tents of displaced people west of Rafah, and commit a new massacre that claimed the lives of dozens of martyrs and wounded."

Hamas went on to state that the Israeli occupation is "actively challenging the decisions of the International Court of Justice through his decision to directly and deliberately target the largest number of civilians."

The Israeli occupation authorities had previously designated the Al-Mawasi area a "safe zone," and did not call for the evacuation of civilians from the heavily damaged neighborhood.

According to local reporting, the targeted displacement camp, filled with the tents of civilian families, was located just 100 meters from the American field hospital, west of Rafah.

Meanwhile, a number of civilians, including young children, were slaughtered overnight, while other residents were wounded, in an Israeli airstrike on the Khan Yunis Governate.

According to local correspondants, Zionist warplanes bombed a residential home belonging to the Abu Jazar family in the Ma'an neighborhood, south of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of several civilians, including children, and wounded a number of others who were taken to the European Gaza Hospital in the city.

Several more civilians were killed after Israeli fighter jets bombed a house belonging to the Sharat family, near the government clinic in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.

Similarly, Israeli aircraft targeted a residential home belonging to the Yassin family in the Mufti's land area, north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

IOF Merkava tanks have also been stationed in the central areas of the Yabna Refugee Camp, next to the Al-Huda Mosque in Rafah, in addition to advancing near the Care Junction, adjacent to the Ali Ibn Abi Talib Mosque, and also penetrated areas of the Al-Awda, Al-Najma, and Al-Sharqi neighborhoods.

Occupation Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers were also witnessed advancing in the Burqa Stadium, and into the central areas of the Shaboura Camp, while Israeli missiles and artillery shelling bombed resident's homes at random, intermittently.

Israeli warplanes and vehicles also fired machine guns towards civilian homes in central and western Rafah, and also in the vicinity of the Tal Zu'rob neighborhood, southwest of the city.

Similarly, Zionist air forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Ghurra family in the vicinity of the Abdullah Azzam Mosque, in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in the martyredom of 5 civilians and wounding a number of others.

Israeli occupation forces also killed Dr. Issam Rawhi Muhammad Aql, a doctor with the Al-Quds Hospital, who was murdered in his home in the Bureij Camp, in central Gaza, according to a report by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

The mass murder of Palestinians continued when Zionist air forces targeted a residential house belonging to the Hamdan family in the New Camp area of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, wounding three Palestinians who were transported to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.

Neighborhoods east of Gaza City also experience intense gunfire from Israeli military vehicles, while occupation aircraft bombarded the western neighborhoods of the Jabalia Refugee Camp, in Gaza's north, resulting in several casualties.

Israeli airstrikes also pummeled areas of central and western Rafah, coinciding with artillery and tank shells fired into residential buildings.

In yet another war crime, Zionist warplanes bombed a gathering of civilians in the Kaf al-Mashrou area, east of the city of Rafah, resulting in civilian deaths and dozens of other casualties.

Civilians were also killed in an IOF bombing near Al-Iskan Al-Abyad, west of the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah.

At the same time as Israeli tanks station themselves in neighborhoods across Rafah, Merkava tanks were also seen establishing control over neighborhoods east of the Jabalia Camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, advancing through blocks 1-8 while detonating residential homes and buildings in the area.

In another series of assaults, at least 9 civilians were killed, including a doctor, near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, while several others were killed and wounded in a strike on the town of Beit Hanoun.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the Palestinian population has increased to 36'171 killed, including upwards of 10'000 women and over 15'000 children, while another 81'420 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

15 Ways to attract patients to your medical practice

15 Ways to attract patients to your medical practice A vital component of any medical practice is the patient. A clinic has to take in three to five new patients every working day in order to expand. In order to keep patients satisfied and encourage referrals, the practice should also offer top-notch care at reasonable prices. However, we also need to recognize that the healthcare sector is a specialty industry that requires a unique strategy in order to draw in new patients and keep the current patient base.

Attracting suitable patients and keeping hold of current ones requires hard work and attention, especially in the digital age when patients have access to information about health concerns at their fingertips.

Identifying your target patient audience:

We must first analyze your present patient base before beginning any promotional efforts. Take a look at your patient data and note the current patient list's age, sex, location, and occupation. This data will be essential in helping you choose the best marketing strategies to promote your clinic and draw in new clients.

Patient follow-up: Most practices follow the pattern of allocating roughly 90% of their resources to recruiting new patients. However, keeping your present patient is one of the simplest and most affordable methods to expand your practice. However, maintaining a positive rapport with your present patients will increase patient recommendations. Create a mobile-friendly website:

Developing a modern, user-friendly website is essential to the growth of your practice and drawing in new clients. Since mobile devices account for the majority of internet traffic in the modern era, ensure sure your practice's website is responsive and functions well across all platforms, including tablets, laptops, and PCs. Your website's primary goal is to interact with prospective new patients so they may make an appointment by calling your office. Developing an easily navigable and educational website is arguably the most important marketing strategy for the twenty-first century.

Launching a Blog:

By often adding new information, a blog on your website helps you maintain it current. Regularly updating your blog with original information shows that you are passionate about keeping all of your patients informed and that you know your clinic well. You can post information about your practice, list nearby events, and offer wellness advice. You can use the blog link to interact with both present and new patients by posting it on your social media accounts.

Maintain Your Social Media Activity

Maintaining an active social media presence can aid in attracting new patients who are doing internet research about your clinic. Furthermore, your current patients' entire social network will see your posts when they "like" or "share" them on social media. Furthermore, it would draw users to your webpage and could help you get new patients. The secret is to publish educational content that appeals to your target audience in order to encourage people to interact with it and share your posts. Keep an eye on your internet presence.

Assuming that your clinic has received some unfavorable feedback online, list the most frequent reasons for the criticism. You can reply to reviews on the website; do so to demonstrate to the patient your genuine concern by responding to both positive and negative evaluations. You'll receive more calls from prospective new patients the more favorable reviews you receive.

Be receptive.

How receptive you are to both new and existing patients is crucial for any clinic. Make sure you always have enough employees to handle your patients' needs. Feel free to hire more staff to expand your current service, and if it's possible, consider adding new services to cater to the needs of the new patients. Additionally, you can advertise recently launched services that are aimed specifically at your target market. You can grow your clinic and attract more patients if you strategically and promptly fulfill your local needs.

Provide High-Quality Care / Services:

If your clients are dissatisfied with your attitude and services, there is no chance that they will refer your clinic to other possible clients. Particularly crucial are your practice's atmosphere and attitude. You have to genuinely care about your patients. You need to be able to establish a pleasant and uplifting connection with your patients.

Accept all of your cases. sincerely

Make sure you respond quickly to patient calls, particularly those involving emergencies. Therefore, your patient will never return to see you if they are in pain and you are not available to them. Patients will quickly spread the word about you and your practice if you are readily available to them, especially in an emergency, and go above and beyond their expectations.

You must periodically assess your healthcare marketing strategy due to the ongoing evolution of the healthcare industry. It's important to stay in touch with your current patients and recognize the importance they bring to your practice. It is usually advisable to consider the patient's potential in the future as well.

2025 Multifamily Market Forecast: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

As we step into 2025, the multifamily market is at a pivotal moment, shaped by a combination of stabilizing rents, shifting occupancy rates, and macroeconomic factors. Drawing from insights in the November 2024 Yardi Matrix Multifamily National Report, here’s a comprehensive forecast to guide developers and investors through the year ahead.

Rent Growth: Modest Gains Expected in 2025

In 2024, the national average rent stabilized at $1,920, reflecting a cooling period after years of aggressive growth. For 2025:

• National Outlook: Expect rent growth to remain modest, averaging 2-3%. This reflects a normalized market where supply has caught up with demand in many regions.

• Regional Variances:

• Sunbelt Markets: Cities like Austin, Phoenix, and Las Vegas may continue to see minimal growth—or slight declines—due to persistent oversupply.

• Gateway Cities: Markets like New York, San Francisco, and Boston should experience renewed growth driven by strong job markets and international migration.

Developer Insight: Focus on markets with steady job growth and demand for mid-tier rentals. Avoid oversupplied markets unless targeting long-term value-add opportunities.

Occupancy Rates to Remain Competitive

With national occupancy at 94.2% in late 2024, we expect continued softness in 2025 as 930,000 units under construction are delivered. Occupancy could dip further in some oversupplied markets, while stabilized markets should hold firm.

• Demand Factors: Rising interest rates and high homeownership costs will keep renters in the market, particularly in urban areas.

• New Supply Impact: Markets like Dallas, Nashville, and Atlanta will feel pressure as developers race to fill newly completed units.

Investor Opportunity: Look for properties with below-market rents in competitive areas. Strategic upgrades and targeted leasing efforts can improve NOI despite headwinds.

Supply Pipeline: Adjusting to Economic Realities

While construction activity slowed in late 2024, 2025 will see the delivery of projects launched during the pandemic boom. Developers are expected to remain cautious as:

• Rising material costs and labor shortages persist.

• Financing challenges from elevated interest rates continue to squeeze margins.

Expect a decline in new starts, especially for large-scale luxury projects, as developers shift focus toward workforce housing and suburban infill developments.

Strategic Move for Developers: Focus on smaller, flexible projects that cater to niche markets like affordable housing, single-family build-to-rent, or aging-in-place communities.

Economic Influences: A Mixed Bag

The broader economic environment will play a pivotal role in 2025:

• High Interest Rates: Elevated borrowing costs will remain a challenge for new developments and acquisitions.

• Resilient Job Growth: Markets with strong employment growth in sectors like tech, healthcare, and logistics will outperform.

• Affordability Crisis: High single-family home prices will keep many potential buyers in the rental market, sustaining demand for multifamily units.

Investor Perspective: Stay laser-focused on employment trends and migration patterns. Markets with resilient economies and population growth will deliver stronger returns.

Key Trends to Watch in 2025

1. Urban Revival: As remote work stabilizes, urban cores will continue their rebound, driven by younger renters seeking proximity to jobs and amenities.

2. Affordable Housing Focus: The demand for mid-market and workforce housing will grow as renters face affordability pressures.

3. Tech-Driven Operations: From smart building technologies to AI-powered leasing platforms, innovation will be key to reducing costs and improving tenant satisfaction.

4. ESG-Driven Developments: Investors will increasingly prioritize sustainable and energy-efficient properties, both for compliance and tenant demand.

6. Long-Term Outlook: Resilience in Multifamily

Despite short-term challenges, multifamily real estate remains a resilient asset class with strong fundamentals. Rising homeownership barriers, demographic shifts favoring renters, and long-term housing demand will sustain the sector’s growth.

Actionable Strategies for 2025

• Developers: Focus on projects that balance affordability and amenities to appeal to cost-conscious renters.

• Investors: Pursue value-add properties with potential for rent growth in high-demand markets.

• Operators: Leverage technology to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance tenant experiences.

The multifamily market in 2025 will demand agility, innovation, and a keen understanding of local market dynamics. Those who adapt to these shifting conditions will emerge as leaders in the next phase of the housing market cycle.

What’s your game plan for 2025? Let’s discuss in the comments!
