can y’all do me a big favor. My brother has been making music for 5 or so years and he worked really really hard on his new album.

He called me yesterday about how he wishes that more people discovered him so he had more resources for music videos and eventually small tours.

I’m such a huge fan of his music and he’s so talented and I just wanna see him do great things. I love his songs “Times up” and “Eternity” and honestly he absolutely deserves to blow up. He works so hard and is so generous and kind.

It would mean the world to me and him if you could presave his album on Spotify and also maybe reblog this post 🫶 I know it’s a lot to ask but I just wanna surprise him. Thank you guys!!!

I support moving Love Is In The Air to white day, not because I think that Valentine's is too Christian to be a holiday on FR (I don't want to open that can of worms), but because then there's almost exactly 6 months between LINTA and the Talk Like A Pirate event instead of 5 months from TLAP to LINTA then 7 months from LINTA to TLAP

WHY DOES TLAP MAPEGER HAVE LIKE 24 NOTES OR SOMETHING

[eternal-dragon-of-time]

I might've had complicated feelings about the ending of ViTS but I do like the little sprinklings of lead ups to what are probably going to be this years adventures.

My predictions below (AoR Spoilers)

- TLAP day is coming up, and I'll eat my hat if it isn't about finding out what happened to Captain Rhubarb, probably will contain foreshadowing for the Rumbling Of Cold Thunder so I'd highly suggest playing through it since Talk Like A Pirate releases are seasonal and you can be locked out of playing them.

- I predict two arcs about curing Drakath and Gravelyn respectively. If they are rude they will make us wait until next years month of evil to help Gravelyn but I highly doubt it.

- HERE ME OUT They do an insane throw back and the Frostvale 2023 release is plot necessary. Abel making everybody play through the holiday events to keep up with the story is tradition at this point.

- a Confronting Victoria adventure, this is the one that I'm sure we will get this year. I highly doubt that the story would just let this slide down the calendar AND people on twitter and reddit (the online forums AE pay attention to lol) have been asking for more Good faction stuff for almost 7 months now.

- this one is copium but I was promised an elemental champions story and didn't get one please let there be an arc with the champions all together please please please.

Brain Break Game: "10 Second Objects"

"Ten Second Objects" is a quick brain break game that takes zero preparation. Students get to move and talk, and most importantly, have fun. #brainbreak #tlap #publicspeaking #education #teaching #game

“Are you sure?” I asked my principal. “It’s about to get loud.” He had planned a meeting in the library, which is right outside my classroom door, for the principals in our district. He told me to not worry about it and to do what I always do. “Okayyyyyyy,” I replied as I walked away, happily knowing that my principal “gets it.” Now, let’s hope the other principals and the director of our feeder…

[bloodybootsem]

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I read a book called How to Talk Like a Pirate, written by the guys who came up with TLAP day. In that book, there was a "Find your Pirate Name", much like you find anywhere on the internet, using initals and what not. I don't think I was terribly pleased with the full outcome, but I really liked the idea of "Bloody(blank)(blank)" I also really like boots. Like. REALLY like. Like, not a fetish, but maybe a kink. Boots are fucking hot. So. That's where my username comes from.

CQC New Single Assessment Framework

In July 2022, the CQC outlined a new single assessment framework for providers. The framework will focus on a system that connects its registration activity to its quality assessments and offers a structure with greater transparency. They are moving away from their old approach of ‘monitor, inspect, and rate’ and working towards a more flexible system where inspections won’t be determined by the frequency and where the ongoing assessment of quality will be proportionate to risk. The new framework is for providers, local authorities, and systems. It is concerned with what matters to people who use health and social care services and their families, and it will help them by providing an up-to-date view of quality. The CQC will regulate in a smarter way by adapting and responding to risk, uncertainty and demand, understanding the quality of care in a local area or system to improve it and keep people safe.

The New Framework

The CQC assessment framework is based on five key questions and its well-known rating system. They’ll use it to set out their view of quality and make judgments.

The CQC will start introducing it in phases and will be clear when it will directly affect health and care providers. The CQC is publishing its new framework now so that providers and other stakeholders can become familiar with it. The Care Quality Commission website offers more context about their new CQC regulatory model.

As of July 2022, providers will be able to read more about the CQC’s quality statements, and evidence. The CQC will build on this in more detail as they explore how they will work in practice over the coming weeks and months. For example, information on the evidence they require in their assessments of each service type and what their assessments will look like.

Why They’re Changing

There are three reasons why they need to make a change:

The CQC will need to make things simpler in order to focus on what matters to people.

They need to better reflect on how care is delivered by services and across a local area.

They need a framework that connects their registration activity to their quality assessments.

What’s Different?

The CQC confirmed that their quality ratings and five key questions will stay central to their approach. However, they’re replacing their key lines of enquiries (KLOEs) and prompts with new “quality statements”. These will reduce the duplication in their four current assessment frameworks and allow them to focus on specific topic areas under each key question, linking to the relevant regulations makes it easier for providers.

The CQC calls the quality statements “we statements” because they’re written from a provider’s perspective to help them understand what they expect of them. These statements draw on previous work developed with Think Local Act Personal (TLAP), National Voices and the Coalition for Collaborative Care on Making it Real. The CQC wants to maintain this ethos when developing its assessment framework.

The CQC (Care Quality Commission) will base its quality assessments in all types of services, and at all levels, on the single assessment framework. For local authorities and integrated care systems, the CQC will use a subset of the quality statements being published today.

To make their judgments more structured and consistent, the CQC developed six categories for the evidence it will collect:

People’s experiences, Feedback from staff & leaders, Observations of care, Feedback from partners, Processes, Outcomes of care.

The CQC wants to be clearer with providers and the public about how it uses information about care services or their local area. Each quality statement will state which evidence it will need to collect; for example, GP practices differ from what they’ll have available when assessing a home care service. This also depends on the level at which they’re assessing. For example, the evidence the CQC has when a new service is registering for the first time will be different from that of a service that has been operating for a while.

In order to fulfill their ambitions in their strategy, the assessment framework emphasises the need to create learning cultures and establishes expectations for how services & providers need to work together and within systems, to plan and deliver safe, person-centred care.

Building on Strong Engagement

The CQC has developed its new assessment framework following almost nine months of engagement and thousands of interactions with providers, people who use the services and other stakeholders.

Through feedback, the CQC discovered stakeholders supported the simplicity of the new framework. Having just thirty-four topic areas across five key questions means that providers will understand what they’re looking for in CQC assessments.

Although people valued the simplicity of the approach, a lot of people felt the language was too complex. In response, the CQC conducted some user research and reviewed the wording of the quality statements to make them easier to read.

As a result of their engagement with providers, they have also created some guidance that shows examples of the evidence they collect for each category.

Further information regarding CQC registration support and CQC interview preparation can be found on Care Agency Media’s website.

The CQC Policy and Procedures cover a wide range of topics, including safe patient care and the rights of patients. Our CQC Policies and Procedures are designed to help you ensure that you follow best practice when delivering care. With our expertise we can help care homes to develop their business, while ensuring they stay compliant with all relevant legislation. To find out more about our Care Home Policies UK.

Talk Like a Pirate Day 2023

AHOY!

Well, blimey if it isn’t Talk Like A Pirate day once again. It seems like only a few months ago @btwxsixesandsevens invited me to a speed-write a Pirate AU of Sarah Wilson’s and Bucky Barnes’. I was to write from Sarah’s POV, and Sixes writing from Bucky’s. We dropped chapters throughout the day (both of us simultaneously being at work, BTW!) and dropped the final chapters that evening.

That was the Best TLAP Day, Eh-Ver.

To celebrate TLAP Day 2023, I’m reblogging the telling of how Captain Sarah and Commander Barnes meet on the high seas.

Ya can read it however suits yer fancy, but I suggest when you read a log entry of Sarah’s, then read the Bucky’s tellin’ of it. Links are provided.

So, Avast Ye and Weigh Anchor, Sea Dogs and Landlubbers alike!

Yaaaaarrr!

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2022

Avast ye!

I will be writing the Paul & Darlene ship’s log for Sarah Wilson, and @btwxsixesandsevens will be writing Bucky Barnes’ journal entries.

All I can say is, Heave Ho and make sure your hatches are battened….

The Paul & Darlene’s Ship Log - Sarah Wilson, Captain

19 September, the Year of our Lord, 1722

Dropped anchor off the coast of Hispañola.

Several of the crew went ashore to pick up provisions and supplies for the last leg of the voyage home to the port of New Orleans.

This campaign was a success as this time we lost no hands to illness, sport, or in battle. With spoils so rich we’ll all be able to be with our families through Hurricane Season and none of us will suffer.

The loas were kind and generous to me, my crew, and my children. The idea of any of us making orphans of our babes doesn’t sit well on my heart, but this is our chosen way.

My late husband’s parents are still alive and spry, and willing to look after their grandchildren while I’m away. That they refuse my offer of payment, preferring I set it aside to purchase land for the boys’ future, is a kindness I won’t forget.

Along with the latest scuttlebutt from other ships, the quartermaster returned with a sealed message that The Shield was recently in port and is on the same route back to New Orleans that we are.

The Shield is Captain Samuel Wilson’s ship, and their main mission is to find and arrest pirates.

For months, one of their targets has been the Paul & Darlene, her crew, and me.

We’d spent a good month careening the ship, and now even loaded with supplies, provisions and the booty from this recent run, ours is still one of the fastest brigantines sailing the sea.

Definitely faster than a Royal Navy frigate.

The quartermaster also reports hearing that The Shield picked up a civilian passenger. A former officer in the Royal Navy, a friend of the Captain, and who is also on his way to the port of New Orleans.

By the time they weighed anchor, we had the wind at our backs and were making good time for a rendezvous.

We knew they’d spotted us when the lookout reported seeing what appeared to be the battle ensign hanging from the Shield’s mainmast.

Seems the Captain is spoiling for a fight, still feeling sensitive because the last time we met, unbeknownst to him, when we made our escape, along with his ship’s wheel, we took one of their crew with us:

Idris. The cook.
