Your clintasha story was so nice you should write more of them! (When the right prompt appears I guess idk how you work haha!) but they’re just so sweet and blend so well together I think they’re becoming one of my fave pairs ahhh

“All right, babe,” Clint said, “We’re almost here.”

Nat winced and made a few more steps but the pain was the worst she ever had to endure. And she had endured lots of pain before. She held her belly and groaned again.

“Doctor!” Clint yelled as soon as he was close enough. “We need a doctor!”

A nurse ran over to them with a wheelchair and together they helped Nat to sit in it. She groaned once more.

“Don’t you think you should go to a real hospital?” the nurse asked. Clint’s first instinct was to bring Nat to the infirmary. He knew they did a good job and Nat trusted the doctors and that was important.

“No,” Nat moaned. Clint grabbed the handles of the wheelchair and looked at the nurse. She pointed at one of the rooms and together they hurried in.

“Dr Tam is on her way,” another nurse said. They helped Nat out of her clothes and into a hospital gown, helped her onto the delivery bed and then Dr Tam came in. Clint stayed at Nat’s side the whole time.

“It’s all right, babe,” he whispered in her ear. “You’re doing fine.”

Nat panted and grabbed his hand. She squeezed it really hard but Clint didn’t care.

Dr Tam talked to the nurses who were with her but Clint didn’t listen. He concentrated on Nat.

“Everything is fine,” he said. “You’re doing fine!”

Nat screamed because of the expulsive pain, she drove her nails in his arm and Clint winced but didn’t move back.

“It’s okay,” he reassured her when she arched her back.

“I can see the head,” Dr Tam said when Nat panted heavily.

Clint turned to look, too, saw the bloody head of the baby coming out of Natasha… and fainted.

“Agent Barton,” he heard a voice, dulled, and opened his eyes. His head hurt and a nurse hunkered beside him. Why did she hunker beside him? He just was beside Nat and now… he saw the delivery bed above him and… he lay on the floor. Why did he lie on the floor?

“Wha… what happened?” he mumbled and the nurse smiled now.

“You fainted,” she said and held her hand out for Clint to take it. With her help he sat up and hear Nat scream again while Dr Tam sat in front of her, looking between her legs.

“I… what?” Clint rubbed the back of his head. It hurt and he felt a bump. “Ouch!”

The nurse moved and looked at it.

“I’ll get you some ice,” she said and left the room only to come back a minute later with an ice pack. “Can you get up?” She asked and Clint climbed onto his feet.

“I… uh…” he mumbled and went back to Nat, carefully not looking at everything Dr Tam did down there. He just took Nat’s hand again when they both heard the scream. Loud and angry and scared and bewildered, all at once.

“Congratulations,” Dr Tam said. “You have a beautiful daughter.”

A nurse had wrapped the tiny baby in some cloth and gave it to Natasha. Slowly and very carefully she took her and looked at the baby.

“Oh my god, Clint,” she breathed. “She’s beautiful.”

Clint stood at her side, looked at the wrinkled baby and couldn’t stop smiling. She was the most beautiful child he had ever seen. Nat’s baby. His baby.

“Do you have a name yet?” Dr Tam asked and Nat nodded.

“Yes,” she whispered. “Anastasia.” She looked up. “Anastasia Clintonewna Romanova.”

Dr Tam raised a brow.

“Russian tradition to add the patronym,” he explained. “Unfortunately my name is… well… dumb.”

“She will wear it proudly,” Nat said now and Clint turned back to her. She was worn out, sweaty, tired and all run down. But Clint couldn’t stop smiling. He leaned down and pressed a tiny kiss to her cheek.

“I love you, babe, both of you,” he said and caressed Nat’s forehead.

“I love you, too.”

At First Glance Ch. 4: The Commencement 👩🏽‍🎓

A/N: It’s finally here! The end of At First Glance has arrived and I have to say, I’m a bit emotional about ending my first series 😭. Thank you guys for supporting At First Glance these past few months. I have another series in development and then hopefully I’ll actually think about the wedding series. But for now, enjoy our fave couple in this series finale!

Word Count: ~3.2k

Warning(s): Black Excellence, Black Love, Smut (FINALLY!)

Saturday, December 7, 2013. 11:06 a.m.

Woolsey Hall, Yale University

At just 23, Yaa was the youngest recipient of a doctorate in African Studies. She was also a joint PhD-JD student that became the valedictorian of both classes (she earned her JD in May), which as you imagine, is almost unheard of, ESPECIALLY at a prestigious institution such as Yale.

Of all the people proud of her accomplishments, Winston was undoubtedly the happiest. She was the smartest person he’d ever met by a long shot. Not only was she smart as hell, but she was also gorgeous and had enough personality for seven people. Bonus points for Winston. As a fellow Yale grad, Winston enjoyed the return to New Haven. Amid all the celebration, Yaa and her family were meeting Winston’s mom and sister today. Whew chile, the celebrations. Winston and his family found Yaa’s family, Tanisha, Kimya, and Daveon (AKA the Yalemigos, or the Migos) all sitting in the same area.

“Mr. Duke great to see you again.”, Mustapha said hugging Winston.

“Likewise, sir! Great to be seen. Get to see my little lady graduate.”, he laughed. His laugh turned into a full smile as the reality of his girlfriend’s accomplishments set in. He looked down at the program and chuckled as Yaa’s name led the list of her 16 other cohorts. My little genius.

The fanfare startled Winston out of his thoughts. The guests looked down to watch the faculty and graduates proceed into Woolsey’s main seating. Proud friends and family cheered, hollered, and whistles as they saw their respective graduate. Winston scanned the incoming crowd for his short scholar, but to no avail. What took Winston 3 minutes took the Migos only 0.2 seconds to spot their 4th companion.

“HOODIE WHOOOOOOOO!”, the friends yelled as they spotted their best friend. Yaa’s neck snapped in the direction she heard the squad call. Can’t take niggas anywhere. She shook her head and examined the friends and family in attendance. Everyone stood up and took pictures and acknowledging their graduate. Winston saw his girlfriend and stared in amazement before he mouthed “Love you” to her. She mouthed “Love you, too” to him before taking her seat.

Yaa walked in with all confidence in her stride. She was glowing and there was nothing better that could happen today than this present moment. Her tam sat on top of her curly locs. Her round tortoise shell frames added an intellectual and sophisticated touch to her look. Her signature bright red lips seldom separated as her white smile remained plastered on her face. She bore her gold valedictorian medal below her blue hood along with her blue and gold ΣΓΡ and black Class of 2013 Kente stoles. The Black graduates wore black leather gloves on their right hands in solidarity and in reverence to their ancestors. Except for being around Winston, she’d never looked happier.

The ceremony went as any other large commencement: the speaker, the President and Provost gave words of encouragement to all the graduates on their future endeavors. Each college presented their graduates with their Yale degree. Finally, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences conferred degrees. Ironically, the Africana and African-American Studies Department elected to go last due the small number of graduates. When the department was announced, Yaa’s family prepared to get up. They shared mutual expressions of joy and bliss as “Doctor Khalida Yaa Denae Abdullah, Magna Cum Laude.”, echoed throughout Woolsey Hall. She raised her right fist high in the air as she walked across the stage. She hugged her advisor and committee chair before receiving her degree. She walked off the stage doing a quick praise break. The least she could do.

The grads recessed out of Woolsey and immediately searched for their parties and took pictures. Yaa was in the middle of her search when she felt two sturdy taps on her shoulder. It was him. “Hey, Doc.”, he greeted. Yaa scoffed as her billion dollar smile grew from a smirk. She playfully rolled her eyes and shook her head before reaching up for a kiss. “Hey, Duke. A girl can get used to hearing ‘Doc’. ”, she hummed into his lips. He finally broke the kiss and handed her a bouquet of her favorite roses: white, yellow, and pink. She gasped at the sight. “Baby! They’re beautiful.”, she squealed. She jumped right back into his embrace. “More where that came from, Denae.”, he whispered.

He never called her Denae, nor did his voice ever get that deep whenever he talked to her. She shot him a look before kissing him once more and walking towards the Migos, who were all Snapchatting and gassing her up.

“BEST FRIEND DONE GOT A WHOLE FOURTH DEGREE, Y’ALL!”, Daveon yelled. Yaa’s shoulders shook as she laughed at her foolish ass friends.

“Yaaaaaasssss ma’am! You better be Black Excellence. C’mon, Lil’ Angela!”, Kimya called.

“Bitch, I’m just tryna see the outfit. The people deserve to see what you’re wearing.”, Tanisha bluntly stated. The other two egged Yaa on to unzip the massive black gown. The only thing everyone could see were her black velvet smoking loafers. She unzipped the gown, unveiling a black pencil skirt and a white shirt with “PheD the Hell Up” written in blue. She would always get the laugh in somewhere.

She insisted that the family take pictures at her rental house because it was still December in New Haven, Connecticut. Chatter, laughter, and faint sounds of Black Christmas music filled the house as both families meshed as one. Carrie and Momma Cora held conversation most of the afternoon; Cindy and Khadijah exchanged medical stories; and Mustapha and Rainey discussed everything under the sun with Avery, Jahlil, and Winston. All four of the Migos were upstairs taking naps to prepare for dinner. Yaa especially deserved that nap. She hadn’t a decent amount of sleep since returning from Thanksgiving in Louisiana.

“Where’s Khalida? I think it’s time we all split.”, Khadijah asked Winston.

“She’s up there with her friends taking a nap. Gal deserves it. That means we need to leave and take naps of our own before dinner tonight.”, Carrie replied. “Winston, you staying here or something?”

“Yes ma’am. I might as well join the Snooze Crew upstairs.”, he said walking towards the front door. He finally went upstairs to Yaa’s room where he was greeted to a room full of snoring. Yaa’s petite figure was curled up in the middle of the messy bed. Her locs were scattered across her silk pillows and her Breakfast at Tiffany‘s eye mask covered her eyes. Her mouth was open as she snored loudly.She was dead to the world. Winston chuckled to himself as he watched his beautiful scholar catch up on Z’s. He sat on the unoccupied side of the bed and watched her sleep. He cleared her face of her wild locs and stopped when she stirred. Eventually, she unmasked herself and gasped when she saw Winston.

“Shit! Don’t scare me like th... was I snoring? Oh fuck, how long have you been watching me?”, she asked. He shook his head before kissing her forehead.

“Yes, you were snoring. Don’t worry about that. I still love you. I’ve been here long enough.”, Winston admitted.

“Well, since you love me so much, let’s try to find brunch. I’ll wake up the crew.”, she announced as she crawled out of bed, “That way, we won’t be as hungry going to this bougie ass Mediterranean spot my folks selected for tonight’s dinner.”

He rolled his eyes, “You better be glad you graduated today, Pumpkin.”

-------------------

Olea Restaurant, New Haven, Connecticut, 8:15 p.m.

The graduation dinner was running smoothly. The private dining area was tastefully accented with gifts and Yaa’s graduation pictures. Nearly twenty minutes after the family arrived, Yaa and Tanisha walked in side by side. Everyone stood and applauded the woman of the hour. Winston stared in awe at Yaa who, as always, strutted into the room with such grace and power.

Khalida chose the more adult outfit option for dinner. She wore her locs in a low bun and kept her glasses, tam, hood, stoles, and medal on. Her royal blue dress fit snug. Though Khalida often wore form-fitting dresses, none were as form-fitting as this one. Her rather well-endowed chest and wide hips were brought to the forefront; her fupa was somewhat concealed by the side peplum panels. The nude pumps she wore were accented by her anklets. Truly a work of art.

“My goodness, sweetheart. This dress is absolutely divine on you.”, Khadijah commented as she examined her first born’s outfit.

“Ibby, you look refreshed. That nap did you some good,I see ”, Mustapha teased.

“Thanks, Umi and Baba.”, Yaa said. “Thank all of y’all for coming and supporting the kid. I can’t believe this is all happening. I’m like...finished! Yale really gave me a doctorate.” The realization of her journey’s culmination brought tears of joy to the “hard-nosed” Yaa. She finally sat the far end of the table next to Winston.

“Pumpkin, you look divine.”, Winston whispered in Yaa’s ear during their hug and kiss. He twirled her around to get a better look of her outfit. She’s going to be the death of me.

“Why, thank you. Gotta show school spirit, y’know.”, Yaa joked. Winston pushed his girlfriend’s chair up to the table.

“I’d like to make a toast...”, Winston stood and began, “...to the woman of the hour, Doctor Abdullah. I know we’ve been in each other’s lives for not even two months, but watching you work and grind towards your goals has given me the initiative to better myself not only as an up and coming actor, but as a person. Khalida, you give me more reasons to be the luckiest man alive and today is the pinnacle. I love you so so much, Khalida, you have no idea. So here’s to our Khalida and her many successes now and forever. Ase.”

The table echoed scattered “Asé’s” and “aww’s” as they clinked their glasses. Yaa cheesed to keep tears forming as she looked into Winston’s eyes as he sat down. “I love you more,Winston.”, she declared as she kissed him. He placed his hand at the hem of her dress and rubbed her thigh. She cut her eyes to his hands and then directly to him; he replied with a smirk. Buzz buzz. Yaa wasn’t the only one who peeped Winston’s unusual behavior.

———————

Winston walked into the bathroom to see Yaa freedom her locs from its bun. He enjoyed seeing her hair down. She noticed him in the mirror studying her.

“May I help you,sir?”, Yaa questioned. Winston walked behind her and nuzzled her neck.

"I love you." he said, wrapping his arms around her.

"What has gotten into you, today? You haven't kept your hands off me all day." she said, giggling.

"I just want to show you that I love you. I think I may have just realized how much I want you." he said. She looked at him, taken aback.

"Want me? You are just now figuring that out?" ,she said, pulling away from him and crossing her arms over her chest.

"That's not what I mean." he said, in a low gruff voice. Yaa jumped slightly as she felt his hands grip her ample waist and pull her into him. As if it were instinct, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Seeing you in that dress...having you this close to me."

She closed the last bit of space between her, biting her lip as he craned in. "You are the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. You're smart, accomplished, hilarious. You are phenomenal. But there is a part of each other we haven't experienced.” He picked her up and sat her on the vanity. “And if it's okay with you, Denae, I'm tired of waiting."

She began unbuttoning his shirt. “I thought you’d never ask, baby.”, she whispered. Their lips met and the intoxicating kiss consumed them. Like a drug, their favorite drug. The slow tongue war continued as Yaa finally took Winston’s shirt off. Nothing was breaking this kiss. His hand traveled up her leg.

“Move your arm, baby.”, Yaa said between kisses. He looked at her with hooded eyes and chuckled deeply.

“That’s not my arm,love.”, he replied sensually. She stopped, mouth agape. She cut her eyes between his erect third arm resting against her inner thigh and the cocky smile and lip bite plastered on his face. This nigga finna split me open.

His hand continued its journey to her inner thighs, where he got down to nibble and kiss them with such intent and passion. He picked her up and traveled to the bed. While on the journey, Yaa bumped her head in the doorway of the bathroom. She giggled as he placed her gently on the bed. “Oh my God, Pumpkin, are you okay?! Do you need ice? Please say something.”, Winston rambled nervously. He swiftly placed her on the bed and turned on the lights to examine her head. She finally opened her mouth and laughed...hard. It could’ve been from the bump or just the fact that she was a bona fide clown. Her laugh turned into an all out cackle, prompting Winston to laugh with her.

“I’m fine, love.”, she began saying in between cackles and breaths, “I just bumped my head.If I pass out, just take me to the hospital. No questions.” The passive tone she used made it difficult for Winston to decide if she was joking or being dead serious. Either way, he appreciated how she broke the thick tension between them. The perfect icebreaker. They finally got themselves together and turned off the lights.

“I hate for such a nice dress to come off, but I wanna see what masterpiece is underneath.”, he commented. Lord, that voice. He lifted the dress over her head, where he was met with her ample cleavage being confined by a red lace bra. She freed herself of her bra and he began caressing her breasts.

“I’ve been trying to get to these since we met.”, he commented. She laughed.

“I know. You looked at them like they were water in the desert.”, she answered laughing. As if on cue, he took one in his mouth, swirling his tongue around her nipple and sucking on it. His tongue traveled up to her sweet spot on her neck. Chills. Her sweet moans served as motivation for his assault of her neck.

Satisfied, he came down and began slowly peppering wet kisses on her feet and leveling up to the inside of her thighs. Shit, spot #2. He looked up to see his girlfriend’s face consumed with pleasure. She bit her lip as she looked down at him with hooded eyes. She cursed under her breath with every kiss he placed. Finally, he kissed her opening, eliciting a back arch and a drawn out “Shiiit!” from Yaa. His mouth became friends with her opening as he sucked on her bud and his tongue explore. He added two fingers as he latched onto her clit. He began pumping his fingers inside of her with a moderate pace. He alternated his sucking with kissing and licking,prompting more hushed cursing from his lover. She was unraveling. He stopped but kept his fingers inside of her. “Fuck you for teasing me like this.”, she moaned. He chuckled. She’s a mess.

“I want you around me, Denae.”, he commented as his fingers brushed up against her opening and examining her nectar. He slid his body between her legs and slid his member inside of her. Her head flew back as his girthy member went deeper inside her tight opening. He noticed her twitch as he lowered himself into her.

“Are you ok,Denae?”, he said examining her face.

“I’m not used to you yet. I’m just tight. I’ll be fine.”, she reassured. Carrie and Khalida ain’t raise no bitch. They both moaned as they began grinding in sync.

“Shit, you fit around me like a glove.”, he moaned, his voice saturated with lust. She kissed him in response.

Winston peppered wet,sloppy kisses on her neck as he rolled his hips, hitting her g-spot deep with every stroke. His pace was slow but unyielding. Her sweet moans and gasps mingled with his low grunts and occasional higher moans. The room was clouded in lust. Besides the sounds of wet skin slapping, moans, and pants, Maxwell’s “Whenever Wherever Whatever” played softly in the background.

Now straddling his lap, Yaa found herself holding back tears as her sexual appetite was being satisfied to her liking. She balanced herself with one hand rested on Winston’s bare chest and the other on the bed. She bounced on his dick as he held on tightly to her love handles. He watched with hooded lust-filled eyes as his girlfriend’s breasts bounced freely against her pace. Her bounce slowly devolved to a twerk and then a gyration as she neared her peak. She was sending him into a tizzy as she clenched tightly onto his dick. If they weren’t already in love, this moment would be when they’d fall in love. Their moans echoed in response as feedback for the other. They were both coming undone. Their rhythm became disonant as they neared the end. Winston sat up and sloppily kissed his girlfriend’s neck. Her breath hitched as they stared into each other’s eyes, both pairs stinging with tears.

“Winston,baby, you feel so good.”, Khalida uttered between her teeth and tears. Her tears and desperate moans served as Winston’s motivation to cum.

“Cum for me, baby.”, he whispered into her ear. He released a low growl; that did it for the both of them. She roared into his shoulder as the sensation of their simultaneous release overwhelmed her core. She collapsed from the sensation.

————————

Yaa and Winston found themselves physically exhausted from their lovemaking. They laid in bed in silence, reflecting on what just occurred. She laid her head on his chest as he tried detangling her locs with his fingers. He gently kissed her locs. “That was...wow. That was uh.”, Winston attempted to strike up conversation.

“Intense? I think that’s the word you’re looking for: intense.”, Yaa suggested. She looked into his eyes and kissed him.

“Yeah, intense. Literally the word I was looking for. My mind is going 25 miles a second. I can’t believe we finally did it.”

“Yours too?! This is...wild.”

“How?”

“Everything we do together feels so organic. I’m really not one to openly be a sap, but you’re so right for me. Being around you makes sense and what we just did is a feeling I’ll never get over...ever.” She interlocked her small fingers into his larger ones and kissed his knuckles. He chuckled as his free trailed between the valley of her breasts.

“I guess your cousin Daniel was right…”, Winston said lifting her chin up to meet his eyes.

“The fuck is he right about?”, she shot up staring him dead in the face. He kissed her lips.

“...I guess I am responsible for making a hard G soft.”, he flinched in anticipation of whatever assault was coming as consequence of his statement. One tickle and pillow fight later, the two found themselves out of breath once more.

“You know, Chris, to be a health nut, you in worse shape than me.”, she giggled.

“Oh, shut up and go to bed.”

Regalia around the world...

Not only is graduation wear important to students in the United States, but around the globe there are many different traditions surrounding the importance of the regalia worn by the seniors. For example, TheVintageNews.com explains that in Thailand, diplomas are handed out by Royal Family members, to seniors dressed in traditional gowns over a uniform. On the other hand, many Chinese female graduates will wear wedding gowns to their graduations followed by a celebration. A very unique tradition is present in Japan. Each senior wears an outfit that would be more fitting for a Halloween costume. TheVintageNews.com even states that “their attire has become so outrageous that TV crews come in to film the ceremonies” The United States is the only country known for having graduations for every level of school transition including: kindergarten, elementary, middle, and of course high school. Even in the ceremonies for younger children, traditions graduation outfits are worn, which would include child sized gowns, and small mortarboard hats.

Production of Regalia in the United States

In the United States, there are many different companies that will produce this type of custom graduation gear. According to Harcourts, a regalia production company - based in Toronto, "the style behind the graduation gowns and graduation hats" has changed dramatically and now there are different length, styles, and colors relating to different disciplines and schools of graduation.

In the diagram shown below, I labeled the easiest ways to tell the differences between the different types of gowns shown at a college level. You can often find bachelors and masters degree students wearing the traditional mortarboard caps, while the future Doctors - doctoral students - are wearing the “Tam” which is basically a hat that only the highest level students can pridefully place on their big ol’ brains. In addition, there are also braided cords available at every grade level. The cost of a custom gown could range anywhere from $30-$300 based on quality materials used, amount of cords, or medals included, and more.

Tam Lin

A traditional Scottish tale, retold by The Story Doctor.

Once upon a time, in a place called Carterhaugh, by Yarrow and Ettrick Waters in the Scottish Borders, lived a young girl named Janet.

Janet’s father was the Laird of Carterhaugh – a wealthy man with a grand estate throughout which Janet roamed and played freely. I say “freely”, but there was one condition attached to that freedom. Janet’s father had told her that she may play safely on any part of the estate, but she was not to go through the green door that led to the walled garden. When she was very young, Janet didn’t think anything of this, but as she grew older, she began to hear stories about an enchanted knight called Tam Lin, who lived in the walled garden. Anyone who spoke of Tam Lin did so in hushed tones, for it seemed that no-one who had met him had returned to tell the tale.

One fine day in late September Janet was riding her horse on her father’s estate when she caught sight of the green door that she had always been warned about. She usually rode right on by, but on this particular day, she stopped and got off her horse. Janet was curious to see what lay behind the door, and she couldn’t resist a peek. She opened the green door and looked into the garden beyond the wall. Her eyes fell on a beautiful sight, for inside the garden walls, it was still summer! Flowers were in full bloom all around, the leaves on the trees were bright and green, and a little rippling stream gurgled in the distance. It was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen! After looking round to check that no-one was watching her, Janet stepped through the door, meaning only to pick a few roses to take home for her father. She walked over to the prettiest rose bush and began to gather a few of the delicate pink blooms when she heard a voice behind her say “Stop! You can’t do that! Those roses belong to the Fairy Queen!”

Janet swung round and saw a young man sitting on a tall white horse.

“Who are you?” she asked. “This is my father’s land, so these must be my father’s roses. They don’t belong to the Fairy Queen ”

“My name is Tam Lin” said the young man, getting down from his horse. And he told her how he had been captured by the Fairy Queen years before, and that she had cast a spell on him so he could never escape.

Janet felt a bit sorry for the young man – he seemed lonely, and when he told her how much he missed his family, she promised that she would help him in any way she could.

“There is only one way that the spell cast by the fairy queen can be broken” he explained. “but it won’t be easy, because she will do everything in her power to keep me here.”

“Tell me” said Janet, “and I will do it”

Tam Lin explained that in a few weeks, on Hallowe’en, all the fairies gathered at the Market Cross at midnight for a grand parade. The parade would be led, he said, by the Fairy King, who would be riding on a coal-black stallion. Behind him, The Fairy Queen would follow on her brown horse. Then, on his tall white steed, would come Tam Lin, the Queen’s favourite knight. “It’ll be dark at midnight, so just to make extra sure that you know it’s me” said Tam Lin “I’ll wear a glove on one hand, and nothing on the other.” He told Janet to pull him off his horse, and hold on to him tight, for the Fairy Queen, he said, would use all kinds of tricks to keep him under her spell. “No matter what she does,” said Tam Lin, “Hold on tight. I promise I will never hurt you. You must throw me into the well at the Market Cross, for that’s the only way the spell can be broken.”

Janet listened carefully to all he had to say, and she agreed to do as he asked.

It was still four weeks until Hallowe’en, and Janet had to hold on to her secret for all that time – she didn’t tell a single soul, for she thought her father would try to stop her going out at midnight that night (and she was right).

When at last Hallowe’en arrived, Janet had all her plans ready. Late that night, just before midnight, she crept out of the house, wrapped up in her long green velvet cloak to keep out the cold. It was very quiet when she arrived at the market cross, and she hid behind the well, crouching down low so she wouldn’t be seen.

After what seemed like ages, she heard the clock on the church strike twelve, and heard a low thudding of horses’ hooves in the distance. The thudding grew louder, and then Janet saw the flames of the Fairy King’s torchlight licking the dark sky. Even though she felt nervous, and she shivering with cold, she was still determined to help her new friend.

Just as Tam Lin had said, the first horse to go past was coal-black, and riding on its back, flaming torch held high, was the Fairy King. He was followed by a slightly smaller brown horse bearing the Fairy Queen. Because it was Hallowe’en, she was dressed in her finest gown, which glittered with jewels in the torchlight. Then came Tam Lin, just as he’d said he would – riding on his white horse, and wearing only one glove on his right hand.

Janet leapt out from her hiding place and grabbing on to Tam Lin’s arm with both hands, she pulled him from his horse. All at once, the Fairy Queen spun her horse round and threw a lightning bolt at the knight. Tam Lin changed from a young man into a wriggling serpent, red eyes blazing, huge white fangs gnashing. Janet remembered that he’d promised he would never hurt her, so she held on tight as he writhed and thrashed. The Fairy Queen, furious, threw another bolt of lightning, and this time Tam Lin became a roaring lion. His sharp claws scratched and tore at the cold night air, but he’d promised he would never hurt her, so Janet held on tight as he writhed and thrashed

Ever angrier, the Fairy Queen hurled a third lightning bolt at Tam Lin, and this time he turned into a blazing-hot rod of iron. Holding tight, Janet took the red-hot iron rod, and threw it into the well. With a satisfying hiss, the iron rod hit the cold water. As everyone looked on, a dripping wet Tam Lin climbed out of the well and stood beside his friend. The Fairy Queen’s spell was broken, and she was livid. She knew she had been beaten this time, and there was nothing at all she could do about it. Shaking with fury, she launched one last lightning bolt into the dark midnight sky, and she and the other fairies galloped off into the night.

Tam Lin and Janet, laughing, made their way home, safe at last.

Canadian doctors’ anxiety amid coronavirus can be eased by more PPE, testing: poll

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/canadian-doctors-anxiety-amid-coronavirus-can-be-eased-by-more-ppe-testing-poll/

Canadian doctors’ anxiety amid coronavirus can be eased by more PPE, testing: poll

Increasing both personal protective equipment (PPE) and coronavirus testing would help ease the mental health effects of the pandemic on physicians, a new poll suggests.

The poll, released Tuesday by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) and conducted last week, found that nearly 90 per cent of physicians would be less anxious about Canada’s COVID-19 outbreak if there was greater availability of PPE.

The survey also found that increased testing would make 84 per cent of physicians feel less anxious and ease their concerns.

CMA President Dr. Sandy Buchanan said the survey’s results points to more urgent action in both the distribution of PPE to health-care workers, as well as Canada’s levels of population testing.

“The anxiety experienced by health care providers is compounded by a lack of information and assurance that everything possible is being done to protect them and understand the spread of the virus among Canadians,” Buchanan said in a press release.

“We know that governments are working hard to improve the availability of personal protective equipment, but physicians continue to be gravely concerned about their ability to provide care safely.”

Interestingly, the survey found that doctors were divided on whether or not they’ve seen an improvement in PPE supply over the last several weeks.

Twenty-nine per cent of doctors said that supply had improved while another 29 per cent stated that supply had gotten worse. Just above 40 per cent said that they saw no changes in PPE supply overall.

Canada’s supply of PPE has been a contentious issue over the course of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Frontline health-care worker as well as health officials across the country previously warned low stockpiles of PPE, which include items like medical face masks, gowns and gloves.

Shortages of PPE have also been reported by health-care workers in hospitals and care homes throughout Canada. At least two Toronto hospitals saw staff rationing their supplies last month, while other workers have been forced to sanitize and reuse masks.

Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said earlier this month that the country is looking into whether or not some supplies can be reused.

It’s not just hospitals where staff say they’re worried about running out of PPE. SafeCare BC, the province’s association for continuing care workers, found in a recent survey that 69 per cent of those polled expected to run out of supplies within three days.

A follow-up survey this past weekend found that number had shrunk to 42 per cent, but the association still expressed alarm over the results.

B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Saturday that when it comes to distributing PPE, officials have been distributing supplies on a semi-daily basis and are ensuring that no facilities run out — though admitted that’s been a challenge.

“We are confident that, as a province, we have enough to last us for the foreseeable future, but we have to be very careful in how we manage it out to different sectors,” she said.

“I know that can be quite distressing for people, thinking it won’t be replenished in two days or three days, but I believe we have a good system now for ensuring that that happens.”

Henry said as the number of new cases each day stabilize and the pandemic curve flattens, stockpiles of PPE would be increased.

To date, Canada has reported a total of 48,489 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, including 2,707 deaths.

At least 752,000 tests have also been administered since the beginning of the outbreak, but concerns on the provincial testing rates were previously been raised.

Ontario has since been the subject of criticism for what Premier Doug Ford described as “unacceptable” testing rates and its strict testing eligibility.

Provinces across the country have since vowed to expand their testing resources and criteria. Alberta, which followed through on that promise earlier this month, have seen their daily case reports skyrocket: officials there are now regularly reporting hundreds of new cases, after weeks of announcing far lower numbers.

The CMA survey also found that a third of physicians with community practices had at most two days worth of PPE, or had already run out of at least one type of equipment.

The survey, which saw 2,500 physicians respond, was a follow-up to a poll the CMA conducted at the end of March that had nearly 5,000 responses.

In that poll, 71 per cent of physicians said they had placed a PPE order within the last month, but only 13 per cent said that order had arrived or was on the way.

Things To Consider While Purchasing a Doctoral Graduation Gown

Pursuing a Ph.D. is a journey in itself. The rest of the academic career seem quite insignificant compared to Ph.D. Ph.D. students are highly honored in any university as the degree goes beyond the need of professional life. It takes more than just dedication to earn the doctorate. You are on the campus, but you cannot enjoy the late coffees or night out with friends. Your research takes time and extreme attentiveness. The stress never really leaves, and every day, you have to put efforts into making your day productive. And you have to overcome so many more obstacles to achieve your research degree.

Only the students know the feeling of finally conquering the mountain and reach on the peak. The day is unforgettable for them, and they deserve to celebrate it in the best way possible. If you are a student who is soon to be received a Ph.D. degree, then it is better to start preparing as early as possible. From buying a Ph.D. graduation gown to create the final speech, you need to work on every detail.

As far as the graduation gowns are concerned, you can easily find the solution online. You can buy it from a store, or you can go for the custom made dress. Custom gowns have a higher price compared to ready-made gowns. If you are ready to spend a good amount, then customization would be the right option for you. However, you can easily get the gown of your size online. You don't have to wait for weeks for getting your dress when order it from the store that is known for its excellent delivery service. Today, there are plenty of online stores where you can find good deals. All you need to do is to look for quality gowns at a reasonable price. No matter what you do, you need to ensure that for Ph.D. gown purchase, you approach a reliable store.

Why you should approach a reputed store for purchasing Ph.D. gowns:

There are plenty of online stores selling graduation gowns and you just need to find one store that caters to your requirement adequately. Not every store can provide excellent quality in their gowns and at the same time, they don’t fail to charge you with a high price. If you are looking for a Ph.D. gown that lasts for a long time, then you should spend more time checking the quality of the gown.

You should check out what type of fabrics are used in making, whether the gown is hand-tailored or not, etc. Once you are assured about the gown’s quality, the next step is to look for reviews given by previous students. Customers' reviews can help you to make the right decision. If there is a particular fault in all the gowns offered by the company, then you can avoid purchasing from that store. You can also learn about their service quality from the customers’ reviews.

When you get the Ph.D. commencement, it is one of the most special days of your entire academic career. On this day, not only the students, but teachers also wear gowns to give the degree. On such an occasion, everyone wants to look their best. The graduation gowns do not give you much ground to experiment with your style, but the quality and richness of the dress are vital to look perfect on the day.

Along with the gown, you can also go for the traditional Tudor Bonnet and Doctoral Tam. The quality items last for a long time, and it prevents the need for the same kind of investment soon. Look for quality in your every purchase as it keeps you comfortable throughout the ceremony.

Summary:

A Ph.D. degree can only be earned by dedication, trivial and significant sacrifices, and a tremendous amount of hard work. The degree does not only launch your professional career, but it makes you more reputable in the society. It shows that you are capable of guiding and directing society on the right path. Regardless of your research subject, your contribution in your field cannot go unnoticed. It is the day that one should celebrate with full zest. A luxurious looking doctoral graduation gown adds perfection to the day. Buy it from a reputed store, and they will make your day with timely delivery of perfectly tailored gown.
