Greetings all,

Here are your scores. Da Winnah this round is our own Godfather of DQs, Johnny Barrs with a natural 5. The real winner is Christopher Carson, who managed to escape with a natural 4 by cornering the Ma- and She- votes and by having a really nice rolling score.

by Lodge; who received no votes for no points and voted for 2 & 10; for an unnatural 2.

2. An approach to human health that examines the factors contributing to the promotion and maintenance of physical and mental well-being rather than disease with particular emphasis on the coping mechanisms of individuals which help preserve health despite stressful conditions

Indeed you did. Not sure how I swapped that. So your scores and John’s are swapped. I’ll have to take another look at this, but it appears correct otherwise.

Hi Shani,

Are you waiting for a more formal nod that you got the deal? I didn't mean to cast any aspersions on that; as far as I'm concerned, you're good to go.
