London College of Fashion works with other East Bank partners to ensure that local school children have skills, knowledge and confidence in arts, science, and technology.
Our move to a single site as part of the East Bank collaboration at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2023 gives us a unique opportunity to review everything we do; from our partnerships to our facilities, to our educational offer.
With extensive student feedback we've restructured our courses and revalidated their content and our new credit framework now gives students much more flexibility.
We want all of our students and graduates to a make a difference in the world and champion what's important to us at LCF. So now all of our first year students take the Better Lives unit - focusing on diversity, sustainability and social responsibility.
In advance of the move the East Bank partners are working more and more in east London in the hopes of building strong links with the community, underpinned by creative learning opportunities and knowledge exchange.
Our broadening offer in east London includes:
EAST-Education provides summer schools to young people in east London as part of the Mayor's East Education strategy
Fashion Clubs
LCF run after-school clubs in Fashion Business and Fashion Journalism to give young people in east London a taste of potential future careers
Fashion Unit
LCF provides free teaching resources and activities for young people as part of the Mayor's London Curriculum
Schools Innovation Challenge
Young people from schools in east London are invited to design the 'store of the future' with prizes and mentoring
The power of creativity
University of the Arts London believes that widening participation to art and design higher education is essential to nurturing the artists and designers of the future. LCF has such a great array of talent, experiences and skills to share with young people and teachers – our team has already witnessed the positive impact of our staff and students working with young people in East London.
Through this work, we aim to achieve the following:
- Raise awareness of fashion, in its broadest sense, as an agenda of social change
- Increase the number of local young people who will progress to higher education, whether with LCF or at wider UAL courses - including those who have least opportunity
- Raise awareness of the diverse range of careers opportunities available
- Ignite a passion and interest in young people of the power of creativity and fashion through all stages of their education
Bespoke offer
The East Education project aims to build relationships that will have long-term, mutual benefits, rather than one off events. We are in the process of developing a demand-led offer with local schools to embed creativity and fashion into their curriculum, with the goal of leading to positive creative career choices.
We are developing a forward plan of activities with each of the 12 schools, and are now working on a 'menu' of resources for them to access.
The 'menu' includes:
- Curriculum resources for primary and secondary school
- Fashion clubs currently focusing on journalism and branding
- Careers events
- Hosting CPD sessions for teachers.
The Outreach team works with schools, colleges and institutions across London to support young people with opportunities to experience life at our college and gain new skills. We provide workshops at LCF, curriculum enhancement onsite at our partner schools and colleges, CPD for tutors, specialist portfolio advice and a guaranteed interview for one of UAL's degree courses.

The problem is, this is taken from a behavioral and treatment perspective, rather than a data-gathering perspective. Also, I have heard it said that the test costs $1300, and most people that get one test get two or three. Obviously the healthcare system could not afford to test everyone three times, even if we had the tests (which we don't). Also, there is a backlog in being able to return the results-- it often takes days, and obviously that's not particularly useful. We had a high profile Congressional figure exposing other members of Congress for several days while waiting days for a test result that came back positive. Hopefully there will eventually be a lot more tests, that are faster and cheaper, or else we're still just treating symptoms and we are acting in a vacuum of information other than deaths.

I assume the great efforts to isolate everyone as much as possible is overcoming the extra level of new cases from the greater number of tests, thus producing a net decrease in the rate, at least for the countries selected (the 7 from the prior graphs). Hope it continues to decline.
We know time flies, we just can't see its wings.
64 11.9%
65 13.5%
66 13.0%
67 12.0%
68 13.5%
69 13.1%
Judging from deaths, the pandemic seems to be growing at a fairly steady rate of about 13% per day. I'm not sure if it's good that it's not accelerating or bad that it isn't decreasing. The real issue for the healthcare system I suppose is how many people are being released (or dying...) versus how many new cases are emerging, and how many of those require hospitalization. We're now up to about 700,000 people infected worldwide, which means about one person in 70,000 has been infected, or about 0.007%.
As above, so below
700,000 would be 1 person in 10,000, or about 0.01%. To keep the death toll at a level of other things we tolerate, this must only rise to about 1% by the time vaccines are widely available. It doesn't sound like we can count on the virus getting tamed by mutations, it seems to mutate rather slowly. So worldwide new infections that are serious enough to get reported must level off at something like a million a week, and perhaps 50,000 a week in the US. Right now it's at about 20,000 a week in the US, but it's not clear this is economically sustainable. Some people have predicted it will continue to rise for another month or even two, I don't think that's likely at all. Judging from how the virus abhors lockdowns, I suspect the US cases will begin to drop in only about another week or so, but then the real question will be-- what do you do next? Drop it all the way to zero like China claims to have done (and few seem to believe), or shoot for a steady rate that is quite high, like 50,000 a week? Probably we'll see local lockdowns rather than national ones, this is uncharted territory. At least there is now a test being made at the rate of 50,000 a day that only takes 5 minutes, and one hopes is cheap enough to use to gather data. The big question is still, what fraction of infected people remain so asymptomatic that they never even know they have it?
Also, on an interview today the doctor who treated the first US patient flat out stated that "serious illness occurs when someone coughs tiny droplets that someone else inhales." That's what he said, he did not even mention if serious illness can occur from touching a surface and then touching one's face. I've not heard anyone else say that so unequivocally, if that's really true then people who live alone and can quarantine themselves if they have mild illness really have no reason to sterilize surfaces but they do have good reason to avoid people that could be sick. They might even be advised to seek out infected surfaces! Or if he's wrong and one can get seriously ill even just by rubbing one's eyes, then he should not have stated the exact opposite.

We know time flies, we just can't see its wings.
Here is an update on the use hydroxychloroquine. I'm optimistic about this, perhaps taking advantage of my of the fact that I'm naive in these matters, if just to be optimistic about something.
"The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency authorization Sunday for hydroxychloroquine, a drug already used to treat malaria and other ailments, which has shown anecdotal efficacy against coronavirus."
There was also news that France is already using it -- I assume meaning it is approved there as well --, which makes some sense because the first small study came from a French doctor on using this with z-pack.

Yep, especially when it's loud. Easily inferred but perhaps not relevant in the case of the last patient, not that I understand why the doctor failed to eschew obfuscation in how Covid is spread.There are other causes of serious injury involving chainsaws.

link to the use of chloroquine and hydrooxychloroquine.
"Conclusions: There is theoretical, experimental, preclinical and clinical evidence of the effectiveness of chloroquine in patients affected with COVID-19."
"There is adequate evidence of drug safety from the long-time clinical use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in other indications." I take this to mean that it is a low-risk drug so the benefit to risk ratio in administering their use is probably high, thus worth trying unless something better becomes available.
We know time flies, we just can't see its wings.
Here is a much better effort:Cholorquine is, by the way, fearsomely toxic if not used correctly. People have already died from inadvertent overdoses as a result of misguided self-medication while trying to protect themselves from COVID-19.The empirical evidence for the effectiveness of CQ/HCQ in COVID-19 is currently very limited. First clinical results were reported in a news briefing by the Chinese government in February 2020, revealing that the treatment of over 100 patients with chloroquine phosphate in China had resulted in significant improvements of pneumonia and lung imaging, with reductions in the duration of illness (9). No adverse events were reported.
It appears that these findings were a result of combining data from several ongoing trials using a variety of study designs. No empirical data supporting these findings have been published so far.
Grant Hutchison
If correct, this state of affairs clearly has important consequences for healthcare workers. It might be that being elderly slows the immune response, thereby losing the race even if there is not direct inhalation of a large viral load, but it might also be that even a young immune system in top form still loses that race if there is direct inhalation of a large viral load. If so, then it is easy to predict that almost all deaths in people under 60 who did not have any underlying conditions (even unknown ones) will be among either healthcare workers or family members tending to sick people at home.

Latest developments: March 30, 2020
The United States (143,025) and Italy (97,689) have surpassed China (82,061) as the countries with the most reported cases. Spain (80,110) is close behind.
In the United States health authorities have urged millions of residents of the New York region to avoid non-essential travel due to surging coronavirus infections there, which have now passed 1,000 - some 40% of all fatalities in the country. The initial advisory late on March 28 that applies to New York City, the hardest-hit US municipality, and the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut has been extended until April 30. Local or state proclamations vary across the country and continue to evolve rapidly. Click here to view the New York Times' interactive map for updates.
Argentina has extended a nationwide quarantine until mid-April. The mandatory measures were due to expire at the end of March. The lockdown will be lifted or extended on April 12.
Australia has announced that all travelers arriving in the country will be required to undergo a mandatory 14-day self-isolation at a designated facility beginning at 11:59 PM on March 28. According to the announcement, authorities will transport travelers directly to designated facilities after appropriate immigration, customs, and enhanced health checks. Designated facilities will be determined by the relevant state or territory government and will likely be located in the city of entry where the traveler has cleared immigration. New rules limiting public gatherings to just two people in Australia will come into effect at midnight on March 30, with the states of New South Wales and Victoria introducing hefty fines for people violating those restrictions.
In Japan, all visitors from the United States, China, South Korea and most of Europe will be denied entry under new rules to curb coronavirus infections, according to the Asahi newspaper. Citing government sources, Asahi said Japan's foreign ministry is expected to also advise Japanese nationals to refrain from travelling to those countries. Tokyo's Governor has requested residents in the capital and surrounding regions to avoid non-essential, non-urgent outings until April 12.
Turkey has suspended all intercity trains and limited domestic flights as part of measures to contain a fast-growing coronavirus outbreak, as the number of cases jumped by a third in a day to 5,698, with 92 dead. In a notice detailing the travel restrictions, the Interior Ministry said all citizens must remain in the cities they reside and would only be allowed to leave with a doctor's note, in the event of the death of a close family member or if they have no accommodation. While stopping short of declaring a lockdown, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also announced the suspension of all international flights to and from Turkey.
The global number of reported infections now stands at 723,740 with 34,081 fatalities. 152,042 people are reported to have recovered, these figures are up 9,942 on yesterday. This is the third consecutive day that the number of reported daily recoveries has increased on previous records.
Updated figures can be found on Johns Hopkins University's coronavirus tracking map.

Tamiya Bf 109E-3 1/48
This is my first model in recent years (haven't really built in 30 years). It is the Tamiya Bf 109E-3 as flown by Adolf Galland in August 1940 in III.JG26 in France. It is more or less OOB, with only some scraping of some of the openings, especially the top of the cowling. It is painted by brush, with a spray of matt from a can on top of what I recall to be Valejo acrylics. Be warned that I am a 109aholic, and so further models by me are likely to be 109's or something related to these.

Mental health trust split claims rubbished by chief executive
PUBLISHED: 06:00 18 May 2018 | UPDATED: 07:57 19 May 2018
The region's mental health trust has hit back at claims from campaigners that plans are afoot to split into two organisations.
The Campaign to Save Mental Health in Norfolk and Suffolk wrote to NHS leaders this week airing their concerns about the alleged plans.
Their letter, sent to NHS England and NHS Improvement, said two letters sent from representatives in Norfolk and Suffolk proposed Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT) be split into two, and return to having separate organisations for each county.
In Norfolk, they said it would mean mental health services were merged with Norfolk Community Health and Care. While in Suffolk they said it would mean mental health care came under the remit of the hospitals.
But NSFT chief executive Antek Lejk said the trust was focussing on "improving the quality of services rather than on our organisational structure".
He said instead, the letters were seeking more integrated ways of working and "all of that has been very open, and nothing in the letters does anything other than suggest these possibilities should be discussed further and that there would be support for further consideration".
But he did not write off the possibility of a split in the future. He said: "If, in the future - and following consultation with service users, the public, staff and partners - the systems in Suffolk or Norfolk and Waveney propose new organisational arrangements, we will work with that and make the solution the right one for our patients and for our staff.
"But right now our total focus is on the best interests of mental health service users in each locality and improving the services they receive."
Campaigners rejected that the letters were just about integration and told leaders they were concerned "distracting and bureaucratic" reorganisation while NSFT was still in special measures would be damaging.
They said: "Our fear is that the de-merger proposal is a clumsy and bureaucratic attempt to find a solution to the NSFT problem by renaming, splitting and recommissioning mental health services in Norfolk and Suffolk rather than addressing the real problems with front line services."
The letters sent from the Norfolk and Waveney sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) included the signature of Mr Lejk, as designate chief executive of NSFT.
Campaigners claim the letters were not seen by the NSFT board before they were sent - a move they call a "breakdown in ethical behaviour".
However a spokesman for the trust said the board would not need to sign the letter and "is fully sighted on the overarching issues and considerations about the possibilities for wider systems changes".
They added NSFT chair Gary Page and interim cheif executive Julie Cave both agreed to the letters being sent and asked Mr Lejk to sign them.
Simon Evans, locality director for NHS England Midlands and East - one organisation to which the letters were sent - said: "NHS England is not aware of any plans to split Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust."
An NHS Improvement spokesman added: "Any proposals for organisational change made to NHS Improvement would need to clearly set out the potential benefits for service users and families."
NCHC NHS Trust CEO, Roisin Fallon-Williams, said: "We have been working closely with our Norfolk and Waveney STP colleagues, strengthening how we work to support the improvement and further integration of services as part of the planned approach for the system. We will continue to work together to support the right outcomes for service users and their families. As has been said, should in the future the system propose new structural arrangements to further support these endeavours, this would be subject to the appropriate consultation processes."

December 21, 2016 | Callie Briese, Manager, Communications
Agency cites extremely strong capitalization, consistently solid profitability & favorable position within Lutheran market as well as its growing franchise within broader Christian community
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Thrivent Financial's Insurer Financial Strength rating to AA+ (Very Strong), the second-highest of Fitch's 19 categories, and given the organization a stable outlook.

As part of the affirmation, Thrivent was also recognized for its consistently solid profitability and favorable position within the Lutheran market as well as its growing franchise within the broader Christian community.
These ratings reflect Thrivent Financial's overall financial strength and claims-paying ability, but do not apply to the investment performance of investment products. The ratings were affirmed December 20, 2016.

By KHRISNA RUSSELL
Deputy Chief Reporter
FREE National Movement (FNM) Chairman Carl Culmer has accused Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Deputy Leader Chester Cooper of "downplaying" Standard & Poor's (S&P) latest decision to uphold the country's sovereign credit rating.
Last week, Mr Cooper challenged the Minnis administration to take a more proactive role when courting investment opportunities and cautioned the government over celebrating S&P's latest analysis.
Responding to these remarks, Mr Culmer pinpointed credit rating downgrades under the Christie administration, adding during this time the former government painted a picture that everything was fine while the economy "spiralled into oblivion".
"Here are the facts," said Mr Culmer. "Under five years of disastrous PLP rule, we suffered a series of credit rating downgrades – year after year. Yet, during this time, the PLP's official position was that everything was fine and no one should pay attention or worry about the repeated downgrades as our economy spiralled into oblivion.
"But now, after Prime Minister Minnis and the FNM has charted a new economic course and we are starting to see the very beginnings of those positive changes, the woeful PLP's deputy leader is attempting to downplay the significance of S&P's latest decision. The facts are that S&P recognised the FNM government's early efforts and did not issue another downgrade, which sadly Bahamians were forced to become all too familiar with under the disastrous PLP regime.
"And as much as the PLP would deny it, it is also a fact that the S&P's decision serves as a sign to investors that The Bahamas is on the rebound. The world watches what the large credit rating agencies say and this is a clear indication that change is coming to The Bahamas where we will work towards economic growth and stability and not participate in recklessness and stagnation that marked the previous five years."
He said this decision affects more than The Bahamas' image globally, but most importantly affects the lives of Bahamians.
Mr Culmer continued: "It means that we pay less interest when we must borrow money to fund government obligations. It means that investors are more likely to want to invest in our economy, which leads to higher wages and long term job security for Bahamians.
"It is said that the facts are a stubborn thing, but to the PLP, who have made a living out of lying to the Bahamian people, the facts are difficult things that cast a shadow on their disastrous and woeful leadership when they controlled the country. The fact is this new FNM government is delivering on its promises to take the hard steps to turn our country around and people everywhere are recognising that change is coming."
In his statement issued last week, Mr Cooper, the Exuma and Ragged Island MP, simply acknowledged the viability of Baha Mar and its contribution to the economy, adding due to the openings of the Grand Hyatt and the SLS - and the Rosewood to come - analysts and investors are more optimistic on The Bahamas' prospects.
Mr Cooper said: "Ensuring the success of this project is critical to the Bahamas and the government should keep a keen eye and a helpful hand waiting with regard to the continued health of Baha Mar.
"It is hoped that the government is receptive to S&P's advice and analysis on the need to focus on economic growth."
Mr Cooper said so far over the course of its term in office, the government has appointed a committee on the ease of doing business.
However, he said it remains critical for that committee's approach to be a comprehensive one inclusive of small and medium-sized local businesses.
In an interview with Tribune Business recently, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister K Peter Turnquest confirmed S&P's decision was due in part to the agency's desire to see the Minnis administration deliver on its economic revival and fiscal consolidation plans before returning The Bahamas' creditworthiness to "investment grade".
The agency also held the country's "stable" long-term outlook due to the government's "solid mandate to facilitate economic and debt stabilisation."
S&P also warned it could further slash The Bahamas' credit rating over "the next one to two years" if the government's finances "do not improve as quickly as expected".
happyfly 2 years, 10 months ago
Mr Culmer, respectfully, if anyone in the PLP has any idea how such financial mechanisms actually work, they should be considered treasonous monsters and be held criminally accountable for their theft and misuse of public funds. The alternative is to assume they are witless fools and therefor you should not expect anything intelligent or helpful to sprout from them

A microphone should not be allowed to sit in front of Carl Culmer's face anymore..

New Delphi partnerships aimed at Big Data collection
Delphi Automotive PLC has entered into a trio of partnerships aimed at making the company a leader in the collection — and sale — of information culled from self-driving and connected cars.
Delphi, a maker of autonomous driving systems, and its rivals have identified data collection as the next major frontier in mobility. It's considered lucrative: Last October, research firm McKinsey & Co. estimated "the global revenue pool from car data monetization could be as high as $750 billion by 2030."
Vehicles that will one day be connected with other vehicles, people, infrastructure and the surrounding environment are expected to produce all kinds of useful information. A key hurdle has been how best to collect that information from on-board the vehicle, how to process and share that information with cloud-based storage, and how to sort that data into a product.
This week Delphi has announced agreements with three companies offering key technologies for that process:
■Valens, based in Israel, specializes in high-speed semi-conductors, or "chip-to-chip" technology producing connectivity speeds six times faster than the current industry standard.
■Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co., based in Germany, specializes in data transmission and ethernet connectors.
■Otonomo, based in Israel, develops marketplaces for the automakers collecting data.
Delphi has purchased minority stakes in both Valens and Otonomo, and has struck a strategic partnership with Rosenberger.
"Increasing vehicle complexity is driving demand for more data connectivity, active safety and greater vehicle automation," Delphi said in a press release. "This in turn, is driving a requirement for best-in-class signal and power distribution capabilities, along with a robust data management strategy."
The short version of Delphi's strategy with its new partners is to harness the information vehicles can collect, move it as quickly as possible and put it into a format that can be sold. For vehicle owners, Delphi officials said this kind of data sharing can open up a whole new world of personalized services for them.
Mary Gustanski, Delphi's vice president of engineering, offered the example of a car broken down on the side of the road where the driver has called a tow truck. Data from the car would allow a company to identify the problem of a dead battery and send a van along with a new one.
Delphi, a global company with its Michigan base in Troy, has redefined itself in recent years. The former parts unit of General Motors Co. has worked to position itself as a technology company under a strategy it calls "safe, green and connected."
Last year, Delphi entered into a partnership with Israel-based Mobileye NV and Intel Corp. aimed at creating a self-driving car platform by 2019. In January, at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Delphi and Mobileye showed off Audi SQ5s equipped with their system.
In a study released this week by Colorado-based Navigant Research, Delphi ranked ninth — the highest supplier — among 19 companies for leadership on automated driving.
"Delphi has narrowed its focus significantly in the past several years, spinning off many of its own units and leaving fuel systems, electronics, electrical architectures and automated driving as the core businesses," Navigant said.
This week's acquisitions move Delphi further into the data collection arena. And as the high-tech capabilities of vehicles increase, the company's focus is shifting from the vehicles to the information they can provide.
Glen De Vos, Delphi's chief technology officer, said: "With connectivity, you have more value being created around the car, not in it."

If you have found yourself staring blankly at a stock screensaver of palm trees on a beautiful remote island, rest assured, you are not alone. Vacation season is approaching. But for many of us, that beach getaway filled with sun, blue waters, and ever-flowing tropical beverages looks out of reach. Time and money are the biggest obstacles. But what if it was possible to make that beach getaway, and do so in a way that is on budget and doesn't result in you getting fired for skipping work. The thought is certainly entertaining. And with a little planning, can be put into action.
Don't forget to check out Airbnb, Hotels.com, and Expedia on DealsPlus to save on your hotel accommodations!

When thinking about the New England Coast, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are the first beach destinations that to come to mind. But for those seeking New England's salty charm on a budget, look to Cape Ann. Located 40 miles north of Boston, Cape Ann is an easy stop on the commuter train. The cheapest lodging options average out at about $125/night here. Another highlight of Cape Ann is that its spirit and history can be experienced without costing you much at all. A popular site is the Rocky Neck Art Colony, which has an art gallery and cultural center. There are a number of beaches great for swimming and taking in scenic views of the coastline. The Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial is a must see and honors the thousands of fisherman lost at see in the first 300 years of Gloucester's history.

Holding the title as the oldest city in the United States, St. Augustine is known for its beautiful beaches and distinct Spanish colonial architecture. Cut lodging expenses by staying at your pick of economy level hotels. Spend time walking the pedestrian-only streets of the city's historic district where you'll find a wide variety of shops and restaurants. San Sebastian Winery offers complimentary tours and tastings 7 days a week. And with over 40 miles of beaches, you'll have no problem claiming a spot on the sand where you can relax with a good book while breaking to gaze at the serene ocean.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina boasts one of the best beach experiences on the East Coast. In addition to its tranquil sandy shores, the Outer Banks has much to offer those who are vacationing on a budget. Look around for great deals on affordable vacation rentals. Save even more by getting a group of friends together to go in on a house for the weekend. You can also keep expenses down by stocking up on food and cooking most of your own meals. The beaches are free and one of the few places left in America where wild horses roam openly. There are plenty of budget friendly things to do and see. Be sure to visit the celebrated Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, open to guests from April 17 to October 12. The enchanted Elizabethan Gardens are open year round. You can see where the Wright Brothers "taught the world to fly" at the Wright Brothers Memorial.

Located on the tip of Baja California Sur, Los Cabos offers a dual experience of the beach getaway. The region is divided into two parts. San Jose del Cabo maintains the look and feel of an authentic Mexican town, while Cabo San Lucas thrives on its nightlife scene. The area is lined with stunning beaches. But you'll have to be content with enjoying just the beauty – many of the beaches are closed to swimming because of strong undertow. If you want to stay on budget, Jose del Cabo is the better choice. There, you can meander the streets lined with colorful colonial buildings, art galleries, shops, and restaurants. And numerous budget hotels make staying a weekend in Los Cabos very affordable.

Vacationing at Big Sur on a budget is possible, but you have to be willing to lodge about 45 minutes away. There, you'll find economy level hotels costing about $100/night. The commute won't have you complaining too much since the area is famous for its picturesque seaside vistas best viewed by car. For a truly great outdoors experience, pitch a tent at one of Big Sur's state parks and stay the night for a fraction of the cost. Be sure to check ahead and see if a reservation is required. There's plenty to do on the cheap. Keeping with the outdoors theme, hike the trails at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. And be sure to make the drive to Bixby Bridge, a civil engineering marvel renowned for its location and aesthetic design.

While not exactly located near a beach, Palm Springs is an easy weekend getaway attracting visitors for its slow-paced vibe and iconic architecture. This desert oasis was a favorite spot of legendary Rat Pack. Don't let its stylish reputation fool you into thinking your wallet hemorrhage here. You can find a decent hotel for $100/night or even less. The city offers many cultural and natural attractions for the budget-minded. See works by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Louise Bourgeois at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Hike the Indian Canyon Trails for pristine views of the mountainside wilderness. Observe the natural beauty of the desert at the Moorten Botanical Gardens.
With some creative thinking and resourcefulness, planning your next weekend beach getaway on a budget will be a breeze.

Passports and visas won't be issued overseas until computer glitch fixed
A computer glitch has forced the State Department to suspend the issuance of U.S. passports and visas at its overseas diplomatic missions. The glitch hit one of the agency's computer databases.
The Consular Consolidated Database suffered a hardware failure that left overseas embassies and consulates unable to print visas, regular passports and other travel documents, the department said in a statement on its website. Domestic passport issuance remains unaffected.
The same database was taken down in July of last year by a technical glitch, stranding thousands of travelers. But the State Department said the two issues are unrelated.
"We cannot bypass the legal requirements necessary to screen visa applicants before we issue visas for travel," the website stated. "As a result, there is a backlog of visas waiting to be processed."
Travelers who submitted online applications for passports and visas on or after June 9 will likely experience delays in processing.
"We are working as quickly as possible to resolve the issue and to clear the backlog," the department added.

Or maybe you do.
Whenever I enter I get a little "nostalgic".
Just thinking my grandfather went in there years ago,
Kind of fantastic.
Granted it is not a luxurious place.
A must.
If I don't go, my visit failed and my mission was not accomplished so to speak.
This year, I only took a picture of it. I never went it.
So worth it.
Otherwise, how could I have had the time to watch people?!
Yes? No?
Trust me, I know people who have never used it before. Ever. Not even when they test drove their car.
But sometimes it is necessary. Not for fun, but for emergency or something like that.
Don't overuse it. ;)
They stopped way too late so they can't really see when the light turns green.
So you honk.
You honk to say hello!
At least it feels that way.
It's pretty far away.
Yes, the attractions like the Blue Mosque etc you get to see and should see as a first-time visitor are all in Europe though I always live and always will live in Asia.
Obviously, they don't say let's go to Europe or Asia...but it's fun to think of it that way.
It's more Istanbul.
Without the tourists.
Oh, don't get me wrong I love the tourists.
They are the ones bringing in money.
My cousin hates the tourists and I understand.
As tourists (in any country) we tend to ruin the country.
Sadly we do.
But we also establish the country and make it grow, a little.
A bazaar would not operate at all without the tourists.
A Blue Mosque or an Hagia Sophia Mosque would maybe not be as pretty as they are today.
So I love the tourists.
I just don't like the touristy feeling, and the constant "hello, how are you today? Let's come into my restaurant for dinner tonight!" sentences...because, no, thank you, I'm local and I know the real deal.
SO WORTH it, absolutely.
One after another, with menus mostly in English.
Sad truth though is that most tourists don't.
Or Turkey.
But Turkey has so much more to offer.
Not just its culture, its history, its flair, its food and drinks...
I digress I know.
But any country has more to offer than what meets the eye.
We all know that.
And I'm glad I know more about Istanbul than most people.
AND, still, I know nothing.

There's so much ambiguity around what exactly happens with the "Alberta divorce package" once it's stamped (filed) and retrieved by the clerk. By the divorce package, I am referring to the final documents that are filed on a divorce application. Another term used for a divorce package is "desk application". A desk application is a court application that does not require the appearance of parties in court. For desk applications, the Justice makes her decision about the file in an office setting at her desk!
Once the divorce package is filed, it is entered into the computer system, and placed in a queue with the rest of the packages filed on that day. Turnaround times for checking divorces can vary between one month and five. Currently, turn around times are sitting at only 6 weeks. Checking a file entails that the clerk goes through each and every desk divorce document on that file, and for the most part, check it sentence per sentence. She not only makes sure that the information is accurate; she also cross-references the information to ensure that there is no discrepancy or inconsistencies in the evidence submitted. At the end of her review, if the clerk spots too many mistakes or those that are "unforgivable", she would reject the divorce application, and send a memo to the court filing party requesting corrections.
An example(s) of an "unforgivable" mistake is if the marriage date is wrong, or the parenting arrangement is inconsistent throughout the divorce documents. When an application is rejected, the file becomes dormant until a "refiled package" is submitted. If the clerk is, for the most part, satisfied with the file, she will fill out a report addressed to the Justice who will be making a final decision on it. This report will include a list of any minor mistakes she spots or concerns she may have. The file is then delivered to one of the Justices who looks at the clerk's recommendations, as well as checks the file from a Justice's perspective and either sign it, and grants the divorce, or rejects it and request more or different information from the parties.
Justices do rely heavily on the clerk's notes but often times, they spot things in a file that are beyond a clerk's realm of knowledge. If this file is one of the lucky ones, and it is signed, it makes its way back to the clerk's office, where copies are certified and sent out to both parties, so they are aware of the finalization of their divorce. That's when the journey of the Alberta Divorce Files' ends.

Prehab4cancer launch event
East Manchester Leisure Centre hosted a Prehab4Cancer launch event on Thursday 25th April, which saw GLL work in partnership with MCRactive, GM Active and GM Cancer to welcome and bring together 100+ industry professionals from across the north region with the common goal better supporting the needs of cancer patients.
About the project:

The importance of preparation 'Prehabilitation' and active recovery pathways in cancer are being increasingly recognised by cancer patients and healthcare providers around the world.
Patients will be supported before and after cancer treatments (including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and where applicable during treatment to have increased physical activity and fitness. Research suggests patients who undergo prehab should have improved clinical outcomes, including improved survival rates, greater tolerance to radical treatments and reduced post-operative complications. This should lead to reduced time spent in hospital or need for readmission to hospital.

Hedge fund managers are the new Masters of the Universe. So what are they really like? Very clever, very rich - and really very dull
It has to be said that Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are doing their best. Townshend is pogoing like a three-year-old in need of Ritalin and Daltrey is hurling his microphone into improbable arcs and catching it every time. And the audience? Are they moving in a demonic frenzy, a look of blissed-out rapture on their sweaty faces as they yell every word of every familiar song? Er, no.
So they're not rocking, even though they are watching The Who's first concert since Live Aid? Afraid not. Aren't they a little bit excited to be in a field on a summer's evening at Knebworth, fabled home of so many classic rock concerts? If they are, you wouldn't know. I've seen more passion on a Friday night in Waitrose. It's true that after an hour of Townshend and Daltrey stoking them up with classics such as My Generation, the people near the front started to clap. "Have you lot been drinking all day?" asks Daltrey, with delicious irony.
Some of them are moving their neat hips from side to side. Click, click, just like that. But, frankly, if it wasn't for the stage and the jolly garlands draped over expensive shirts, you might imagine you're at a convention for City folk.
Welcome to Hedgestock. You may remember Woodstock — three days of peace, love and music back in the days when hippies were cool and half a million people swarmed into a field at a dairy farm in Bethel, New York. It was the self-indulgent summer of '69 when everything was free, nothing naughty was off limits and no one, least of all the hippies, was counting the cost of anything. The Who were there, of course they were.
Fast-forward 37 years and Townshend and Daltrey are in remarkably good nick considering, but now they are playing to a sober crowd of hedge fund managers and their associates at an event designed to loosen them up, break down their reserve, help them to get to know each other.
As the brochure puts it wittily, this is "two days of peace and love", which is perhaps why most of them have undone a shirt button and bought a beer. One man, dressed with the icy cool of Jay Gatsby, is sitting on a deckchair, daringly licking an ice-cream cone, his laptop at his feet. Everyone still has their mobile phone on and even Daltrey's belting lyrics don't stop them taking calls. Eventually Townshend loses it. "Turn yer mobiles off!" he yells. There is no noticeable response.
"As an industry we have to face it, we're not particularly loved," the brochure continues. "The establishment misunderstand us. Corporates think we're promiscuous. Regulators wish they had the power to ground us. No wonder the Summer of Love has a certain resonance!"
I don't know quite what this means, but then I don't know what a hedge fund is, either, and that is part of the problem. Few outside the City understand what these people do. All we know is that they are very, very rich and that Tom Wolfe has described them as the most likely modern-day candidates to replace his 1980s Masters of the Universe from The Bonfire of the Vanities. My editor tells me that they rule the world, which makes me nervous because I am wearing my Matalan cardigan. I hope they won't think that I'm being disrespectful.
In the car park I clock a Ferrari, a Bentley and a galaxy of Porsches, BMWs and Mercedes. So far, so predictable. A semicircle of elevated marquees and buses painted in corporate colours faces the stage, all filled with elegant people. They have glasses in their hands but they are still and distant in their manner. Perhaps they are worn out after a day of intense debate? Cheekily, JP Morgan offered a presentation called "In sourcing, Out sourcing — how saucy are you?" and someone else offered a debate "Esoterica — new risks and new returns for consulting adults".
I look around for some promiscuity and spot a couple kissing a bit near the back. But apart from the fact that they are not being promiscuous, they're not hedge fund people, either — they are teenagers representing the Teenage Cancer Trust, the charity that will benefit from The Who's generosity in performing for free.
How much has been raised is not yet known, though individuals could attend the two days for £500 plus VAT. Most of the money came from the sponsors and it's a lot, everyone says confidently: "This is what it's all about, you've got to put something back."
Which is jolly decent of them. But I doubt that 4,000 of the country's brightest and most intensely competitive Type As would have gathered here just to donate to a worthy cause. In truth, this is what they call a "focused event" — they are here to network, to meet clients, to drum up more business, to make even more money. This is why their faces remain impassive, their drinks barely touched. Even the man on the baked potato stall is handing out business cards.
When a man from the Teenage Cancer Trust reads a letter from a young girl who was invited to the concert but died last week, you might expect some reaction. She had asked him not to read the letter until he was on stage, he explains, and he doesn't know what it says. It is indeed a wrenchingly powerful letter and there is applause but no change in expression. These guys are winners, you understand, and they are here to work.
I introduce myself to a hedge fund manager called Adrian. He has a square haircut and an intensely serious manner like Ben from The Graduate. I can't help wondering whether he needs a Mrs Robinson to show him how to relax. What does a hedge fund manager do, I ask, but he replies in City jargon that I can't decipher. He is 28, I learn, and has had his Porsche for years.
What else does he do for fun? "Golf, some shooting, drive a car on the track."
Of course, competitive stuff. That's why this event is also full of polo, cricket, clay pigeon shooting and even table football, so as the hedge fund managers regrouped yesterday morning it was networking that seemed uppermost in their minds. Someone had found time to buy a Bentley, "the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind" was blasting through the speakers and some of the delegates were still wearing their jeans and daring shirts, but the faces remained closed and remote.
I find myself taken into a marquee, where two smooth and impenetrable gentlemen explain patiently that hedge fund managers operate by taking advantage of falling markets as well as those that rise. It sounds like gambling to me, but even I know not to use that word here. Typical profits, they explain, are a 2 per cent management fee plus a 20 per cent performance fee on the return. The minimum investment is around £100,000, the maximum billions, and most investors are institutions. Pounds or dollars? "Either way it's a lot of money."
Thirty to 40 per cent of the funds fail, they say, "but you don't hear about that. This business attracts people who want to work outside the restrictions that apply to banking."
Mavericks? The shutters have come down again. "There used to be. Not now."
These people — they are mainly men — remind me of the Su Doku fanatics I encountered at the world championships in Italy a couple of months ago: perfect corporate manners, absolute control and too serious to engage. Driven, yes. Fiercely intelligent, certainly. Though when you focus all that intelligence on one abstract area, it can make a person seem to lack empathy.
At Knebworth I meet two exceptions. The first is a hedge fund manager who kindly explains that he can't talk on the record because he'll be killed — professionally, he means. But the reason why his industry is so closed and so often accused of being secretive is that they have to work according to strict regulations and cannot be seen to solicit business. So they can attend a convention full of prospective clients because these people are accredited investors, but putting their wares on the table for a Times feature writer is out.
The second is Len Gayler, managing director of Cayenne Asset Management Limited, whom I have spotted bounding around to the Who — he is one of very few in the audience who actually rock, possibly because at 54 he remembers the music.
"The motto of these people is work hard, play harder," he maintains. But then he corrects himself. "Actually it depends. Some of them play hard but it's the minority who spray champagne around nightclubs. Some of them are at their desks for 18 hours a day, never off the phone or the internet. But if you work under that kind of pressure for long enough you need to have a release valve. For some it is opera, and when the curtain comes down they go back to the office. People come off the night flight from New York, go to the office in London, clothes are delivered, they do eight hours and then go to Tokyo.
"It's capitalism at its best because those who start up hedge funds have the chance to make money out of their own blood, sweat and tears, and being clever and using their brains. They are creative but most of all they have the drive to succeed. It's not about the money. We want to win."
Gayler's release valves are fast cars, going to rock concerts and raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust of which he is a patron. Have I been to a teenage cancer ward, he asks. I haven't. "It fills me up," he says. "We are really lucky and that's what this is about." His eyes are watering: at last, a hedge fund manager who is a human being. Respect, Mr Gayler. Respect.

Are LED bulbs worth it… yet?
I'm pondering the question.
This blog post is simple. I want to make sure I don't lose the best post I've seen on the topic so that I can come back to this and finish my study! I will conclude my thoughts on the matter after I actually cross that bridge.
Here is the link to the post
Along a similar vein I will also have to study the handwashing versus dishwasher debate and make a decision. My wife and most people I know still seem to think hand washing is the way to go. Time to conclude this somehow.
If you ended up on this post and are looking at energy saving in general, you might also want to take a look at this post I wrote recently.
As usual, please comment below with your ideas, thoughts, improvements, etc.
