Different Seasons is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more serious dramatic bent than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles; the collection is notable for having all of its novellas turned into Hollywood films, one of which, The Shawshank Redemption, was nominated for the 1994 Academy Award for Best Picture. At the ending of the book, there is a brief afterword, which King wrote on January 4, 1982. In it, he explains why he had not submitted the novellas for publication. Early in his career, his agents and editors expressed concern that he would be "written off" as someone who only wrote horror. However, his horror novels made him much in demand as a novelist. Conversely, the novellas, which did not deal with the supernatural, were difficult to publish as there was not a mass market for "straight" fiction stories in the 25,000- to 35,000-word format, thus and his editor conceived the idea of publishing the novellas together as "something different", hence the title of the book.

The Patient Activation Measure is a commercial product which assesses an individual's knowledge and confidence for managing one's health and healthcare. Individuals who measure high on this assessment understand the importance of taking a pro-active role in managing their health and have the skills and confidence to do so; the PAM survey measures patients on a 0–100 scale and can segment patients into one of four activation levels along an empirically derived continuum. Each activation level reveals insight into an array of health-related characteristics, including attitudes, motivators and outcomes. PAM was developed using qualitative methods, Rasch analysis, classical test theory psychometric methods. Developed by Judith Hibbard and colleagues at the University of Oregon, the resulting 13-item measure is a uni-dimensional, interval level, Guttman-like scale; the PAM has strong psychometric properties, has been translated into 22 different languages. The measure is used to assess patient activation or engagement by researchers and clinicians around the world.

PAM is offered to healthcare organizations by Insignia Health, a company based in Portland, Oregon. There are a number of instruments measuring similar constructs, including My Health Confidence, Patient Health Engagement Scale, Stanford self-efficacy for managing chronic disease 6-item scale, ICECAP-A, the Health Literacy Questionnaire and the Health Confidence Score. Multiple studies show that PAM scores are predictive of most health behaviors, including preventive behaviors. Higher activated individuals have better health outcomes and lower rates of costly utilization, such as emergency department use and hospitalizations. Further there is evidence that with support and appropriate interventions it is possible to increase activation levels in patients; the Patient Activation Measure is being used in a number of ways to improve the delivery of health care, including: a metric to assess the degree to which patients are prepared and able to self-manage to tailor support and education to help patients increase in activation to track the impact of interventions and tailored support on increasing patient activation levels to segment an enrolled patient population, direct more resources to low activated patients to use in population health management to use in predictive modeling, by using both PAM scores and clinical data, it is possible to identify future high risk/high cost patients more than just using clinical data

Thomas F. Bamford was an English professional footballer who played as a full back. Born in Horwich, he began his career in non-league football with Darwen before joining Burnley in 1909, he was part of the Burnley side that won the FA Cup in 1914, but missed five years of his career due to the outbreak of the First World War. By the time league football resumed, Bamford was over 30 years of age, found it difficult to regain his place in the team. After more than 150 first-team appearances for the club, Bamford left Burnley in 1920 to sign for Rochdale, where he ended his career. Thomas Bamford was born in the town of Horwich, Lancashire in 1887 and spent the whole of his life living in the county of his birth, he died on 9 August 1944, aged 57. Bamford started his career playing as an amateur for Darwen in the Lancashire Combination, his performances attracted the attention of professional Football League Second Division club Burnley, who he joined on a free transfer in April 1909. He was signed as cover for the veteran fullback Fred Barron, made his league debut for Burnley in the 3–2 victory over Blackpool on 25 March 1910.

He played in the remaining eight matches of the season, but at the start of the 1910–11 campaign he found himself out of the side again thanks to the emergence of Scottish defender Thomas Splitt. Bamford made his first appearance of the season on 27 December 1910 in the defeat to Hull City, went on to play 15 league matches in the remainder of the campaign. Bamford was John Haworth's first choice left-back for the first 13 matches of the 1911–12 season, but again found himself left out of the team in December 1911 following the signing of David Taylor, a part of Bradford City's FA Cup winning side in that year. Bamford did not appear again for Burnley until 9 September 1912 when he played left-back against Hull City at Turf Moor. Following the departure of Splitt in October 1912, Bamford found himself reinstated into the team, but at the unfamiliar right-back position, he went on to enjoy his longest run in the Burnley side, playing 24 matches in the 1912–13 season as the team achieved promotion to the Football League First Division after securing a second-placed finish in the league.

Bamford played in six FA Cup ties during the campaign as Burnley reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by Sunderland following a replay. Following promotion to the top flight, Bamford played all 46 first-team matches in the 1913–14 as the side attained a respectable 12th-placed finish in the league. Despite starting his career as a left-back, Bamford became an established right-sided defender as Burnley built on their cup success of the previous campaign, beating South Shields, Derby County and Bolton Wanderers in the early rounds before atoning for their defeat to Sunderland in the fourth round. Bamford was selected in the starting line-up as Burnley defeated Liverpool 1–0 to win their first FA Cup title; the eleven players selected for that match had only previously played four first-team matches together and in fact never again lined up together after the Final. Bamford carried his first-place berth into the next season, again playing in every league and cup fixture in 1914–15 as Burnley finished fourth in the division, their highest league finish since 1899.

On 24 April 1915, Bamford played what turned out to be his final game in a Burnley shirt, a 0–0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. From the summer of 1915 onwards, the First World War brought competitive football to a halt in England just when Bamford was in his late twenties and at the peak of his career, he continued to play for Burnley part-time in the Wartime Football League, making 34 appearances in 1915–16 and a playing a further three matches between 1917 and 1919. He served in the Army Service Corps during the war; when league football resumed in August 1919, Bamford was 32 years old and could not regain his place in the Burnley team thanks to the emergence of young fullback Len Smelt. In September 1920, after failing to play a competitive match in over five years, Bamford left Burnley to join Central League outfit Rochdale on a free transfer and he played there until the end of his career.
