UPDATE – July 18, 2019:
Chiltern House Medical Practice – Holmer Green proposals
Further to the announcement that PCMS has been awarded the contract to provide primary care medical services to the patients registered at Chiltern House Medical Centre, they met with the Patient Participation Group last week (Thursday 11th July) to discuss proposals for Holmer Green.
PCMS are clear that they want to ensure they have a presence in Holmer Green as well as supporting residents to access the Temple End surgery in Wycombe. Whilst this will not be in the form of a traditional surgery, they are considering innovative alternatives that would mean Holmer Green is leading the way in finding new ways to meet the needs of patients living in villages.
Although PCMS will continue to provide services to patients, their new contract does not go live until 1 September, and so PCMS are continuing discussions with the PPG in relation to their proposals which are:
- Introducing a transport champion to support patients to use the Hazlemere & Widmer End Good Neighbours Including Holmer Green Community Transport service and help with bookings.
- Introducing Q Doctor – an online video doctor service providing secure and easy to use video GP consultations from your PC or smartphone. They are investigating how support sessions may be delivered to assist those less familiar with technology.
- Having an elderly care nurse and/or paramedic available who can visit patients who are frail or have mobility issues. This service is already in place in PCMS's Mandeville practice and is receiving very positive feedback.
Finally, PCMS are investigating how they can work with the Pharmacy to provide a consultation base for services like support and advice, blood tests, and vaccinations. This is in the early stages of discussion and is very much dependent on a number of factors, but we will keep you updated on progress.
UPDATE – July 8, 2019:
The provision of primary medical services at
Chiltern House Medical Centre
NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group is pleased to confirm that, following a successful procurement process, they have now awarded a contract to Primary Care Medical Solutions (PCMS) for the provision of primary care services to patients at Chiltern House Medical Centre (CHMC). PCMS are currently providing services at CHMC on an interim basis but their new contract will begin on 1 September.
Nicola Lester, Director of Transformation at Bucks CCG said: "Providing the best possible healthcare service to local communities is our priority.
"We have been working with the Patient Participation Group and the wider community to find out what services they would like from their GP practice and patients were involved in the procurement process. We have every confidence that PCMS will be able to provide a service that meets the needs of the local population, both in the High Wycombe and Holmer Green areas.
"Patients do not need to re-register or do anything differently they will be transferred seamlessly to the new provider on 1 September."
PCMS Managing Director Phil Coates said: "We are delighted to have been awarded the contract for CHMC and have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team and patients over the past twelve months. We want to continue to develop CHMC and that will begin with a number of engagement events to ensure patients are given a say in how services are shaped to meet their needs. We look forward to providing safe, effective high quality care to the patients on a long-term basis."

UPDATE – December 11, 2018:
Chiltern House Medical Centre – the next steps
Over the last few months, NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group has been asking for the views of patients, public and the staff at Chiltern House Medical Centre about the future of this practice of 7,000 patients based in High Wycombe.
The survey was available online, with paper copies sent to patients over 65. Further copies were available at the practice and local pharmacies. Meetings were held with the Patient Participation Group and staff at the practice, as well as with other practices in the area that cover High Wycombe and Holmer Green.
1,124 members of the public took part in a survey. As a result of the feedback from this and other engagement, the CCG has agreed that Option 3 – reprocurement – is taken forward. This means another service provider will be found to run the practice.
Nicola Lester, Director of Transformation at Bucks CCG said: "The majority of people who took part in the survey, and those we spoke to at meetings, said that they preferred the option of keeping the practice open by finding another service provider rather than dispersing the list (Option 3).
"This option means that we will now look for a suitable provider who can provide high quality care for the patients registered at Chiltern House Medical Centre.
"This option will require us to carry out further engagement with patients, staff and stakeholders to see what services they need Chiltern House Medical Centre to provide.
"We are aware that, since July 2018, patients at the practice have undergone a period of uncertainty and change and we would like to thank everyone involved for their patience and cooperation.
"We will continue to work with Chiltern House Medical Centre to ensure that services continue as normal while we carry out these next steps."
The new provider of services is expected to be in place by late summer 2019. In the meantime, we will be publishing regular updates on our website and www.letstalkhealthbucks.nhs.uk
A report containing our recommendation that went to the CCG's Primary Care Commissioning meeting on Thursday (6/12) can be viewed there. The results of the survey are also contained within the report.

UPDATE – October 17, 2018:
If you are a patient at Chiltern House Medical Centre we need your views
If you are a patient registered at Chiltern House Medical Centre, High Wycombe, then we would like to hear your views on the future of the practice.
NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is working with patients, the staff at the practice and NHS England to develop plans for Chiltern House Medical Centre.
Anyone registered at the practice can complete a survey here https://www.letstalkhealthbucks.nhs.uk/consult.ti/CMHC/consultationHome
Nicola Lester, Director of Transformation at the CCG, said: "We are keen to work with the patients at Chiltern House Medical Centre and use this opportunity to find out what patients would value and what the services could look like in the future.
"We are hoping that as a result of feedback we receive, we will be able to really shape services to suit the needs of patients who use the practice."
In July of this year, the GP partnership which held the contract to provide primary care medical services at Chiltern House Medical Centre ended. An interim contract was then awarded to Primary Care Management Solutions, to maintain services for registered patients at the practice for up to 12 months. We would reassure patients that this period will allow time for full and thorough planning process to take place before any future changes may be made.

Steven Badger Quoted in Claims Journal Regarding TX Roofer Appealing Class Certification in Case Alleging Hail Damage SolicitationSeptember 22, 2017
Steven Badger, a partner in the Dallas office of Zelle, was quoted in an article titled "Texas Roofer Appeals Class Certification in Case Alleging Hail Damage Solicitation" that was published on the Claims Journal website.
A Texas roofer has filed an appeal disputing a class action finding in a case involving allegations of hail solicitation that could impact 3,000 of its customers. The appeals case could have implications for contractors who act as public adjusters illegally leading to class action lawsuits.
According to Badger, the primary reason for the dramatic increase in the number of hail claims in Texas are contractors that inject themselves into the claims process. Contractors solicit homeowners using door hangers, call centers and other means to aggressively market to homeowners with the promises of a free roof. Badger said the homeowner then signs an agreement giving the contractor the right to negotiate the insurance claim and install the roof for the amount of the insurance proceeds.

"What About Immunizations?" -- Q&A With Cynthia Cournoyer
I recently read the book, What About Immunizations? Exposing the Vaccine Philosophy, by Cynthia Cournoyer. It's an excellent account that explores the almost sacred status given to the vaccine schedule. (At Amazon HERE.)
Cynthia mentioned Barbara Loe Fisher, head of the National Vaccine Information Center in her book and I couldn't help but notice Barbara on the trailer for The Greater Good. She is heard saying, "A number of prescription drugs have been licensed as safe and have been found to be unsafe."
We're willing to accept that medications that were tested, approved and prescribed by countless doctors ended up hurting and even killing people. Vioxx is said to have killed tens of thousands of people and Crestor, Fosamax, Prozac, Yaz, Chantix, Paxil, Zoloft, Lexipro, Celexa and lots of other drugs are the subjects of ads for lawsuits over side effects. "Have you or a loved one taken the drug…. and suffered a stroke, heart attack, or…. given birth to a child with congenital heart defects…"
Yet, when it comes to vaccines, it's a whole different world.; First of all, vaccines are so important that they are mandated by the government and universally promoted by pediatricians. How could the government mandate something that ends up hurting certain children? How could doctors insist that your child have a vaccine that could damage them for life? It would mean that lots of people we have faith in can't be trusted. This is the unthinkable for many,
There is this almost mystical aura that surrounds vaccinations. I'm sure lots of parents have had experiences similar to mine. You've been talking to other parents about your child's autism and you mention that he or she was fine until they were vaccinated and that this led to the descent into autism. Suddenly, the conversation stops. The subject is changed. This is too much to handle. We can't go there. Vaccines are responsible for eradicating life-threatening diseases. It's impossible to believe that they might be bad for some kids.
Cynthia explores the world of the "vaccine philosophy" in her book. I interviewed Cynthia to find out why vaccines are the sacred cow of health care. Why is talking against vaccines like attacking motherhood in the minds of so many? Here are her answers.
Why is it that people seem so conditioned to accept the mandated vaccine schedule without question, at the same time countless drugs are found to have serious, even life-threatening side effects?
From the time vaccines first became incorporated into our society, we see a double standard. People readily accept that drugs have side effects, that some drugs are potentially dangerous, almost to the point that we are desensitized to hearing a litany of possible disasters. Meanwhile, some drugs are ultimately phased out, either because something better replaces them or because they are forcibly removed from the market. Whether legitimate or not, vaccines have earned a status in our culture that holds them apart from any other pharmaceuticals or medical procedures.
You hit it right by characterizing this problem as "conditioned to accept." I submit that our collective acceptance of vaccines stems from cultural conditioning to embrace them without question.
Far more debate is tolerated in other areas of medicine. Far more debate occurs around politicsand religion, but our population has been taught not to question the procedure of vaccination.
Children's literature is permeated with the idea that vaccines are good and necessary. It is so accepted that some people are extremely confident it can't be controversial. I have a card I removed from a game of Apples to Apples Junior. The bold letters on the side say, "Getting a Shot" and the standard definition says, "It's better than getting sick." When parents question giving a vaccine, it is treated like a suggestion of withholding food and water from a child. No shots, no school is so ingrained in people's collective consciousness that to them, it is the equivalent to believing that it is a good idea to stop at a red light. People tend not to question vaccines becausethey also tend to think they shouldn't. The population in general is shielded from controversy on the subject because standard media outlets subsist on large amounts of advertising dollars from drug manufacturers, some of which also make vaccines. Stories of suspected vaccine damage don't get the air time they deserve. Health-care workers are threatened with job loss (or worse) if they don't go-along-to-get-along. Also, the government vaccine court has halted any natural mechanism that would have let the free market play out. In other words, lawsuits were beginning to drive vaccine manufacturers out of the industry, so they sought protection through the government. Can you imagine that if automobile manufacturers couldn't be sued for unsafe vehicles? No matter what they manufactured, lawsuits would never affect their bottom line? No recalls, nosafety, just lots of dead and injured people while the industry went merrily along?
Describe the "vaccine philosophy" and how it came about.
The vaccine philosophy is the belief that vaccines are always safe and effective. It is this belief that perpetuates vaccine science and the unswerving acceptance of them as part of preventive health. I came up with this term after writing about vaccines, starting almost 30 years ago. I researched all available material on the newly-emerging vaccine controversy. I soon found out that no matter how much new information surfaced on the possibility of vaccine danger or failure, people still chose to believe in them. Contrary to philosophy, science for the most part, is a discipline with its basis in tested facts. Through observation and repeated testing, new discoveries are added to a body of knowledge that is not usually disputed. Vaccination has been questioned since its beginning over 200 years ago. There have always been controversies and objectors Since the controversy will not go away, and vaccine facts are constantly debated, we can more accurately describe this in the realm of philosophy, where opinions and beliefs carry more weight. Those who choose not to vaccinate believe they have very good reasons. Those feelings are strong and arguably based in fact. Those who choose to vaccinate believe that they are following established facts and are unaware of, or choose to ignore any controversy. When it's boiled down you are left with a set of beliefs, both supported by "facts." This is philosophy at its core.
If we all can agree that certain people could be adversely affected by vaccinations, shouldn't parents be concerned that there is no way to screen a child to find out if he or she may be vulnerable to vaccine damage?
I love the phrase "one-size-fits-all," first applied to describing vaccine science, by pioneer Barbara L. Fisher. The strength of the vaccine philosophy is noticeable here because, unlike any other drug which might be given based on health history, weight, or regular blood screenings, vaccines are the only products given to all children on the recommendation they receive them at the exact vsame time in the exact same dose, without a careful health-history screening. The fact that you can now receive a vaccine in a grocery store without fitting the prescription to the very unique situation of an individual, proves again it is more about belief than science. I agree parents should be very concerned about the effects of vaccines. If vaccines can hurt some children very badly then maybe they hurt all children to some lesser degree. You suggest that we might all agree that certain people could be adversely affected by vaccinations. It is too bad that in reality, we don't all agree to that. It is still an uphill battle for the two sides to come together. The vast majority of people believe that all vaccines are good for all people all the time. They believe one in a million reaction rate, and that a reaction is probably a coincidence. They believe that reactions are infinitesimal and worth it for the "greater good" of society. Part of the reason that it is imperative to cover up reactions, is that vaccination rates would fall if too many people were scared to get vaccinated. Then, they say, epidemics would come back. I believe this is a false choice because for one thing, other countries vaccinate less than we do, and we don't see a bunch of epidemics. And those who have not lived through the controversies of the last 30 years may not understand that new vaccines have appeared, having nothing to do with an epidemic. We do not have an epidemic of chickenpox. It was a disease that we all went through, mostly unscathed Now, because a vaccine exists, it is somehow more scary than it used to be and the vaccine has become as necessary as any other. This doesn't make sense to those who don't believe the vaccine philosophy. The broad recommendation for vaccinating everyone from 6 months old to end-of-life on a yearly basis with the flu vaccine is very recent. The rates of flu have not changed over the years. Some years are up and then down again. A flu shot shortage did not turn into people dying in the streets. When my children were young we did not worry they would die from the flu. Yet, the recommendations have escalated. The California news about the Gardasil vaccine becoming available to 12 year old girls without parents' permission erodes the confidence of the most ardent vaccine supporter. So I contend that recommendations for vaccines have nothing to do with preventing modern epidemics or avoiding vaccine damage. This is why there is no motivation to find ways for screening for reactions.
Are parents too trusting when it comes to the claims of health officials and doctors?
Parents want the best for their children. Parents would do anything to protect them. This is a very strong bond and one I believe is exploited to promote the vaccine philosophy. Parents want to believe that vaccines are safe and effective, otherwise they wouldn't agree to it. Of course parents would trust health-care givers if it meant saving the life of a child. Doctors are highly educated, and understand things that most of us do not. They are steeped in a culture that promotes the vaccine philosophy and they are not likely to turn their back on everything they know. If the doctor says vaccinate to save a life, we do it. And there is huge pressure for parents to give in to routine vaccination. I have talked to some parents who say that they were yelled at on the way out the door after refusing vaccines, "Your child is going to die!" There are strong emotions on both sides. And the authority figure usually wins. The contradiction is that we consider it standard practice to get second opinions on suggested surgery or other medical procedures. To take the point further, we shop for a good mechanic and we don't take the words of a salesman at face value. But the guy in the white coat is supposed to care about us, and have the kid's best interest at heart. They are healers for heaven's sake. I remember thinking that if I had my child vaccinated today, that I would take a healthy child in and take home one with a fever, red leg and fussy. It didn't make sense to me. To the degree that vaccines actually cause damage or death, then parents were too trusting.
Why is the number of disbelievers in the vaccine philosophy growing?
As the vaccine schedule is expanded, an argument follows that reactions also increase. If there were ever any problems with vaccines, then you can safely say that as vaccine recommendations have doubled and tripled, the failures and damage would double and triple. This initiates many more into a world of forever helping a child deal with health conditions parents believe were directly caused by administering vaccines. Once a person witnesses first-hand what a vaccine can do to a susceptible child, he forever doubts the whole process of vaccinating. When I first started writing about vaccines, there were relatively few who suffered vaccine damage. Chances are back then, you may not have know anyone who was. Now, children are so severely chronically ill with a myriad of conditions not so pervasive a generation ago, that it just can be no longer ignored. Our ways of communicating with each other has also changed dramatically. We get information instantly and we share stories with the world with ease. If someone wants to find information about both sides of the vaccine controversy, it is much easier to do today. Also, as the schedule expands for things like Hep B at birth, HPV for 9 year old girls and boys, it hits the average person as possibly absurd. We are no longer talking about polio epidemics. If parents leave the doctors office after every limb has been punctured with 9 different vaccines, parents start to feel overloaded and question, why so many? If you could keep making vaccines with impunity, why wouldn't you? If you have the most respected profession and the government behind you, why not load the pipeline with more?
What are some of our assumptions when it comes to vaccines?
People assume vaccines are safe and effective, otherwise they wouldn't be so common place. The trouble is, most of our assumptions came about through constant reinforcement of simple explanations. For instance, that vaccines just give you a weakened form of a disease so you will be immune. The problem with that is that there are unintended consequences to so many vaccines. Vaccines contain ingredients that are proven to be harmful. Even if you assume that vaccines are able to prevent diseases, you have to ask, at what cost? Are we trading acute infectious diseases for less curable and more pervasive chronic and deadly illnesses? People assume that vaccines are so safe, that questions about them are stupid. People assume their children must be vaccinated in order to attend school. All states have vaccine exemptions, and as far as the law is concerned, in the vast majority of cases, the law requires that agencies and institutions must provide a form that either lists the vaccines given or shows that the parents requested an exemption. It is not against the law to remain unvaccinated, it is against the law for agencies to have incomplete forms. Signing the exemption completes the form in a vast majority of cases.
Why aren't doctors like Harold Buttram, Mayer Eisenstein, and F. Edward Yazbak who challenge the vaccine safety claims of health officials able to make their voice heard in the press?
Physicians and scientists who question the use of vaccines are marginalized in the media. They are not taken seriously because the tide is going toward further promotion of vaccines. They are not taken seriously because there is no motivation for anyone to back away from what might be the worst case ever seen of technology gone wrong. Too many human frailties prevent the integrity of honest studies that use scientific methods of observation, done without conflicts of interest. If we could have these honest studies, the tide would turn away from more vaccines until fewer and fewer would eventually be the norm. Going against the status quo is difficult and often happens slowly. People who choose a different philosophy when it comes to vaccines may be correct about vaccines causing autism or chronic illness, they may be correct about vaccines damaging our immune systems, but they are relatively alone. We hear the vaccine philosophers point of view so often and so loudly, backed by most doctors, most governments and most people, that those few honest doctors and scientists are easily ignored. But, it will always come down to integrity, and I believe that the truth will someday become so glaring, that these pioneers, and others will be viewed as blazing a trail that will prevent endless suffering.
If we don't believe the vaccine philosophy, what can we do to turn the tide?
Today's vaccine controversy is far-reaching. Those who have been personally touched by vaccine damage or vaccine-caused death, go through the gamut of emotions and these emotions are eventually channeled into becoming activists in the debate. Some focus on changing the political tide, some focus on writing their stories as a form of catharsis and so others can learn. Most will warn their friends and family or casual acquaintances about the possible dangers of vaccines. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the more people become aware of vaccines' possible dangers, and the more people choose not to accept vaccines unconditionally, the "push back" gets stronger. Executive orders, stiffer legislation, all frustrate the avid activist. I would like to leave you with the idea that the power is ultimately with us. We are the consumers, and that necessarily puts us in the driver's seat. No buyer, no vaccine. If we stop purchasing vaccines, we create a healthier population. Exercising the freedom to opt out empowers people to take responsibility for their health. I live near an area (Ashland, Oregon) where up to 40% of the children are"religious exemption." Parents have opted out. There are no epidemics. The same can be said for Mayer Eisenstein's practice and the Amish population. It is possible to create pockets of health, and thatis some people's chosen form of "activism."

Sunday April 21, 2013
Desire is often talked about as something we ought to overcome. Still, being is desiring: our bodies, our minds, our hearts, and our souls are full of desires. Some are unruly, turbulent, and very distracting; some make us think deep thoughts and see great visions; some teach us how to love; and some keep us searching for God. Our desire for God is the desire that should guide all other desires. Otherwise our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls become one another's enemies and our inner lives become chaotic, leading us to despair and self-destruction.
Spiritual disciplines are not ways to eradicate all our desires but ways to order them so that they can serve one another and together serve God.

SHAPING UP: Five diet secrets to getting flat abs
As much as I love exercise (and you know I do!) exercise alone will not get you a toned stomach. Your diet is a huge part of the equation.Â
Someone could workout all day long, but then eat in a way that promotes major fat storage, and they wouldn't have a toned, beach-ready tummy.
While your diet is probably not terrible, the 5 secrets below will help you improve it even more. And a cleaner diet means flatter and more attractive abs.
Diet Secret #1: Don't eat late
Most Popular
This is the most simple and effective way to flatten your abs. Instead of eating less food late at night, simply don't eat late at all. Try these tips...
Brush your teeth right after dinner. Once your teeth are clean, you've put an end to your consumption for the day.
Change things up. If your evening routine revolves around food then find a new routine.
Let the habit form. The first few weeks will be tough, but soon your new no-food-late routine will feel normal.
Diet Secret #2 Drink more water
Drinking lots of water is another extremely simple way to promote fat loss. Chronic dehydration triggers false hunger signals that causes you to eat extra, empty calories. Try these tips ...
Drink a big glass of water before each meal. This will make you less likely to overeat.
Replace sugar-filled pop, coffee drinks and juices with water. This tip alone can make a huge difference in the shape of your body.
Carry water with you throughout the day.
Diet Secret #3: Load up on fibre
Most of us do not get enough fibre in our diet. This is a problem since fibre is essential when it comes to getting lean. Fibre-filled foods are low in calories and are filling, so you'll be eating less and getting lean. Try these tips...
Turn salads into meals. Add a serving of lean protein to a large pile of greens for a guiltless meal. *Try the recipe for Sweet & Smokey Chicken below and serve it on a bed of greens.
Include vegetables in every meal. The benefits to eating more veggies are too many to list, so just know that your body will become healthier and leaner with each fibrous bite.
Fruits are a tasty source of fibre. Eat fresh, seasonal fruits every day.
Diet Secret #4: Eat fewer carbs
Now I didn't say to cut out all carbs, but rather to eat fewer carbs. These diet secrets are meant as lifestyle changes for you to stick with long term. Eating fewer carbs is a realistic and very effective way to flatten your tummy. Try these tips...
Choose whole grain bread instead of white. Whole grains are less likely to be stored as fat. That being said, limit the amount that you eat.
Eat half of the carbs. Make your sandwich open-faced and cut down the size of your pasta serving.
Avoid carb-filled snacks. Instead of crackers or chips, have a hard boiled egg, a protein shake, fresh fruit or veggies.
Diet Secret #5: Only wholesome sweets
Refined sugar-filled sweets will quickly add up around your waist. Learn to enjoy natural sweets. Try these tips ...
Fruit is natural candy. When you stop eating refined sugar you'll find fresh fruit to be more sweet and delicious than ever.
Do not eat foods that contain white sugar or high fructose corn syrup. These items are the worst for your abs.
Try wholesome sweeteners, like pure maple syrup, raw honey or dates in your cooking instead of white sugar. Get white sugar out of your kitchen.
Take these diet secrets and run with them. These tips, along with a challenging and consistent exercise program, are the formula for a toned, lean body.
I'm here to help you meet your fitness and weight loss goals, so guarantee your results by teaming up with me.

Let's say no to palm oil in our foods!
Great Italian Food Trade and ilfattoalimentare.it started a campaign to say STOP to palm oil use, calling the stakeholders to reflect on the ethical, environmental and health concerns associated with its consumption.
The production of palm is strictly related to the practice known as land grabbing, which implies the displacement of millions of African and Asian families. It represents also the first cause of deforestation (increasing CO2 emissions) in Southeast Asia as well as the destruction of natural habitats. Palm oil request by the market has encouraged wider cultivation of palm trees with the consequence that every year many kilometers of forests are completely destroyed to obtain palm oil monocultures. All these operations involve human rights violations, such as the abolishment of food sovereignty and the reduction of biodiversity.
Palm oil is used by many food producers because it is cheap and because it can be used in several ways. Despite that, palm oil causes low-grade inflammation that is linked to insulin resistance, obesity and other metabolic diseases that are partially mediated by our resident gut microbes. According to nutritionists a daily intake of high amounts of this ingredient can be dangerous for our health, also because the presence of a relevant percentage of saturated fats.
Great Italian Food Trade (www.greatitalianfoodtrade.com) call the stakeholders to reflect on the ethical, environmental and health concerns associated with its consumption. Let's sign!- See more at: http://www.greatitalianfoodtrade.com/food-sustainability/stop-palm-oil#sthash.xQTkcGjx.dpuf

Macleay's Wendy Squires shares how students benefit from the small newsroom environment offered at Macleay, compared to larger institutions.
IT IS WEEK three of the semester and I have proudly managed to remember all my new students' names. Not only that, I know their backgrounds, journalistic strengths and weaknesses, and their goals and dreams.
That is why I am a lecturer at Macleay College and not one at the bigger learning institutions. You see, I love to teach and find it an absolute honour. To me, having the ability to be hands on with each and every student in my classes is an absolute gift.
In fact, I doubt I could be anywhere near as effective, should my classes be larger as I'd never get the chance to even know each pupil's name. Let alone all of the all-important factors such as their limited language abilities or personal factors which could inhibit their potential.
Macleay Lecturer Wendy Squires makes a conscious effort to get to know her students on a personal level to enhance their learning experience.
Often, I wonder how other teachers can successfully impart their skills to classrooms of up to 50 students and over or how they can tell if a student is improving or failing when they don't get the opportunity to know them on a deeper and more intimate level.
I also wonder how many lecturers in other institutions can convey the changing demands of newsrooms when they have never actually worked in one, often only teaching rather than doing when it comes to media experience.
I regularly discuss what I write for Fairfax with the students before I file, so they can see how argument is formed and how the finished results look in print. This, I know, is the most useful thing they can learn and, from the social media interaction of students sharing my stories, I am aware this makes them feel part of the process. How anyone who doesn't or hasn't written for the media can teach writing is beyond me.
RECENT ARTICLE: How A Journalism Student Became Mamamia's Editorial Assistant Before Graduating
I have met former students from such larger learning facilities who tell me how they found their experience impersonal at best and ineffective at worse. When I tell them of the Macleay way - small classes taught by industry professionals in the field– it is a revelation. The response is always one of regret that they didn't study in such intimate conditions.
The Hatch Newsroom forms an integral part of the practical and applied style of teaching employed by Macleay to produce highly employable graduates.
At the commencement of each unit I teach – my feature writing classes in particular – I ask students what their journalism end goal is. Often I will hear it may be a sports announcer, a TV host, a hard news reporter or an overseas correspondent.
At the end of the course I ask the same question. Often, to my great delight, I find that those who had little interest in writing now do. When I ask why, it is because they have not only found a new-found appreciation of what it takes to craft a story, be it a profile, backgrounder, news feature, memoir or review, but the confidence to know that they can tackle any variation with aplomb. It is this respect for the craft which brings me the greatest joy teaching.
RECENT ARTICLE: Journalism Students' On The Job Learning Delivers Results
When a student contacts me years later after leaving Macleay – and I do keep in contact with most – they will tell me how beneficial their journalistic education was. Even better, they often thank me for the time and consideration I gave in assisting them to be the proud and proficient working journalists they have become.
Hearing this makes an already fulfilling job an absolute delight, one I know I would never be as skilled at should my attention be spread so thin, as it could allow some students to fall through cracks unnoticed. And I know the journalists of tomorrow I'm teaching today, respect and appreciate that fact.
Quality of Teaching and Learning
Macleay was rated positively by a higher proportion of its students than the rating achieved for ALL of the public universities in Australia (i.e. better than all 38 public universities). We attribute these incredible results to our industry leading lecturers, small class sizes, practical based learning approach, highly supportive staff, focus on positive education and on-site pastoral care facilities.
- Learner Engagement - Macleay scored 80.1% – the next closest public university scored 68.9% (the national average was 63.2%).
- Teaching Quality - Macleay scored 89.8% – the next closest public university scored 85.8% (the national average was 80.9%).
Journalism at Macleay College
Students become working journalists from the first day they step into Macleay. They work on real stories in a real newsroom across all media platforms.
Journalism students are taught by industry experts that are up to date with the latest trends and are well connected in the industry.

Chargers open training camp with offensive show
The Chargers kicked off the first training camp of the Mike McCoy era Thursday at Chargers Park. The new offense looked crisp and efficient but the defense is still finding its footing.
The offensive line plans on working hard to erase last year's struggles. Before practice got underway, the offensive line was already out on the field working on position drills. Has to be a good sign this unit is dedicated to improving.
One-on-One Drills
Third-round pick Keenan Allen didn't participate in the NFL Combine due to a knee injury sustained last November. Despite only catching one of three balls thrown his way Thursday -- a victim of some poor throws -- the rook looked sharp and healthy.
Halfway through the drill, Philip Rivers jumped in for a couple reps. He wasted no time connecting with Vincent Brown on a 25-yard slant route. Brown, who missed all of last season with a broken ankle, was one of the top performers of the day.
Rivers and Danario Alexander picked up where they left off, completing a 45-yard touchdown over the top of newly signed CB Derek Cox's head. This was the first of three long-bomb connections between Rivers and Alexander, who were in sync the entirety of practice.
Seven on Sevens
A healthy Shareece Wright and Cox lined up at cornerback, with third-year man Marcus Gilchrist making a transition from corner to safety. Wright was dominant all day, causing four incompletions. However, as a whole the secondary failed to impress. There was little they could do against an offense that caught nearly every ball put into the air.
Rivers went 2-for-4 during this drill, finding newly signed FB Chris Gronkowski for a quick 5-yard toss and then following it with a deep ball to Malcom Floyd, who used a height advantage to jump over the helpless Cox.
11 on 11
Rivers was only wearing one glove on his non-throwing hand today. He quickly went back to Alexander, hitting him for a quick 30 yards. Rivers finished the day without throwing a single interception. He completed all of his passes intended for Alexander and Antonio Gates. It looks like offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt is already making visible improvements.
The crowd couldn't get over the immense size of King Dunlap who started at left tackle while first-round pick D.J. Fluker held down right tackle. Max Starks rotated in at left tackle but played with the second team for most of the day. Starks comes in with more experience and is favored to win the spot.
Ladarius Green spent last year learning under Gates and it seems to have paid off. Green was a major threat, catching two passes with the second unit. Green played in only four games last year, racking in 56 yards on just four receptions.
With the departure of Antonio Garay, Cam Thomas is expected to see a greater role. Thomas was responsible for the only stop in the backfield all day.
It's worth noting to end the final period of practice, Ryan Matthews was running with the second team. Mathews had a quiet first day back at practice.
Dwight Freeney seemed to settle in nicely with San Diego's 3-4. But he ran into Fluker on a blitz and Fluker straight up leveled him. Give credit to the rookie, who manhandled a seven-time Pro Bowler in front of a packed Chargers Park. But Freeney got up and hobbled to the sideline in visible pain. His leg was taped and by the end of practice he returned for several snaps.
Jonas Mouton finally got his chance to play at the end of last season, but his search for more action will have to wait. Mouton went down in the backfield and stayed down for a long time, having to be carted off the field with what appeared to be a serious right leg injury. The Chargers have already lost Melvin Ingram to an ACL injury.
Three Good
1) Vincent Brown is healthy. Brown is poised to be a perfect middle-of-the-field receiver with underrated open-field speed. Rivers won't be throwing as many deep balls any more, so Brown has a chance to thrive under new coach Mike McCoy.
2) Starting this year's practices on the second team, Eddie Royal seems poised for a rebound year. He connected with backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst on a 35-yard catch. Royal impressed the crowd with multiple diving catches along the sideline throughout the day's drills.
3) Danny Woodhead worked the pitch-and-run effectively. He did a good job finding holes and making his way upfield. He could be that backfield threat the Chargers have been missing since Darren Sproles left town.
Three Bad
1) The 6-foot-5 rookie QB Mike Hermann was an imposing figure on the field, but struggled with accuracy. Completing just 3-of-8 passes, his throws were often erratic, sailing over his targets' heads or falling short into the ground.
2) During the pre-practice walkthroughs, Mathews fumbled a shovel pass thrown his way. But it was before practice so it doesn't count, right?
3) Mouton's injury is yet another in a historic string of injured Chargers linebackers. Mouton was already fighting for a roster spot. Things don't look good for the former second-round pick.

Mckibbins Irish Pub MontrealPosted By Alex Chinien Jun 24 2011 · 0 comments · Dining Out, Downtown, Get Basted
Our visit was to the downtown location on Bishop street just south of Maisonneuve – dangerously close to Concordia's downtown campus.
We began in the Irish manner, by ordering three pints of beer. Mckibbins boasts quite an impressive quantity of beers on tap including of course several Irish beers (Guinness, Harp, Kilkenny, Caffery's, Murphy's and Smithwick's). Also on tap they offer Stella Artois, Alexander Kieth's, Sleeman, Sapporo, Hoegaarden and Moosehead.
To accompany our 2 – 3 pints each we ordered:
The Guinness Burger fire grilled 1/2 pound patty served with our Guinness BBQ sauce and topped with aged Guinness cheddar served with Yukon Gold handcut chips $12.50
The McKibbin's Irish Poutine Hand made chips covered with curry sauce and smothered with mozzarella and cheddar cheese with fire grilled chicken $9.20
Guinness Beef Nachos 2 layers of nachos topped with a 1/2 pound of our Guinness meat sauce, melted cheese, bacon bits and green onions. Served with sour cream and salsa. $18.95
They were all very tasty and apparently loaded with Guinness. Other notable menu items were the Irish Onion Soup which is a full crock of caramelized onions in a rich veal and Guinness broth, crowned with croutons and melted Guinness cheddar cheese.

Business Continuity Solutions for Variety of Mission-Critical Needs
By David Rush and Landon Reese
Regardless of industry or location, every business needs to strategically and proactively plan for network failover. When connectivity goes down, Point-of-Sale (POS) services, business operations, profits, and even customer satisfaction suffer.
In the interest of business continuity for your network, here are seven key factors to consider regarding failover:
1. Overlay Failover
Organizations that may not have the resources to overhaul their new network architecture can instead implement overlay failover with their existing infrastructure as a simple, cost-effective solution. Cradlepoint's ARC CBA850 bridge converts LTE broadband to Ethernet by providing the existing wire-line router with a second "wired" WAN connection.
Overlay failover increases reliability without relying on last-mile connectivity via the same trench. It's easy to set up as well; IT staff can simply plug in the router and configure remotely with Enterprise Cloud Manager (ECM), the network management service within Cradlepoint NetCloud.
2. Redundancy
Multiple parts of a network can fail, so it's important to deploy different types of redundancy. If your wired WAN connection goes down, you can failover to LTE. In the event that your router goes offline, you can take advantage of a second, parallel router using Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
VRRP, a layer 3 protocol, empowers businesses to take failover to a higher level by allowing Internet failover and router failover simultaneously. If the primary router fails, a backup hardware solution — many organizations use the Cradlepoint AER1600 Series — can take over as the primary router. The entire network automatically fails over to the Cradlepoint router — with the LAN and WAN uninterrupted.
3. Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)
OOBM is another important element of network failover. Traditionally, a truck roll — requiring expensive equipment and labor — is needed if something goes wrong with a primary router's configuration. Through OOBM with ECM, IT staff can use LTE connectivity to remotely access the router and all LAN-connected devices sitting behind Cradlepoint's ARC CBA850. It's like having an engineer sitting at a laptop plugged into the console port of the primary router, from anywhere in the world..
These robust OOBM services are available through ECM without the primary Internet connection, inbound SSH, or a static IP address.
4. Bandwidth
Many businesses are simultaneously exchanging multiple types of data, such as sales information, voice and video data, and inventory, often at peak times. LTE failover is ideal in the event that your primary WAN connection goes down, but why not utilize the extra bandwidth all the time?
LTE is incredibly powerful because it supports high bandwidth, which your business can benefit from by utilizing LTE failover for load balancing. Critical traffic can be sent across LTE while public traffic can be routed through a land-based connection. In the case of an outage, public WiFi can simply be shut off to preserve critical services, thereby ensuring failover when you need it while expanding bandwidth when you don't.
5. Multi-WAN Management
At first glance, 99.5% uptime sounds impressive — until you realize that the missing 0.5% equates to four hours of downtime each month. If your business has multiple locations, that downtime can become very expensive very quickly.
A multi-WAN solution can boost that uptime to "four-nines" uptime, or 99.99% solution. With multi-WAN failover and several failure detection and decision agorithms, Cradlepoint provides flexible and robust failover and failback. Cradlepoint offers best-in-class mechanisms that allow you to pick which WAN source to use and can handle advanced multi-WAN management.
6. Wireless-to-Wireless Failover
In vehicles, where wired lines aren't an option, LTE is the primary connection, but that doesn't mean failover isn't available. The Cradlepoint COR IBR900 and COR IBR1100 both support multiple LTE connections as well as WiFi as WAN. WiFi offloading of video DVRs via station WiFi for busses or police is common so as not use the LTE connection while in the field. IT managers can select WiFi to automatically attach and trigger video offloadingwhenever available and LTE to activate while on the road.
IT teams that deploy the COR IBR1100 together with the Dual-Modem Dock can achieve true wireless-to-wireless failover, going back and forth as needed between two LTE connections and WiFi.
7. Future-Proofing
Future-proofing your network is a smart investment now and later. Ensuring that what you buy today is adaptable to what is released tomorrow can be an extremely important — and financially responsible — element of your network failover solution.
Cradlepoint's, for example, connects into the CBA850 and other Cradlepoint routers, which offers a turnkey networking solution for best-in-class 3G/4G/LTE. When the next generation of LTE modems is released, businesses can take advantage by only upgrading the MC400 modem portion of the product instead of the entire router.

GAINN4CORE Action is part of the GAINN-IT Initiative, launched by the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport in April 2014, that aims at conceiving, defining, prototyping, testing, validating and deploying, in the period 2015-2030, the Italian alternative fuels infrastructure network for transport as requested by Directive 2014/94/EU. In doing so, the GAINN-IT network will contribute to the achievement of the "cross border continuity" of alternative fuels supply across Europe and the Mediterranean. The GAINN_IT Initiative mainly addresses liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel for both maritime and road transport and includes both GAINN4CORE Action and the Italian part of GAINN4MOS Actions co-financed under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme.
In this context, GAINN4CORE complements GAINN4MOS and contributes to the GAINN_IT Initiative by defining, prototype and test two of the three Italian LNG grids, both the Tyrrhenian-Ligurian and the Adriatic-Ionian grids. The purpose of GAINN4CORE is to create a synergy effect by preparing Italian ports for LNG and by providing an alternative fuel for ships as well as other vehicles.
The port elements involved within the GAINN4CORE Action are the Core Ports of Genova, La Spezia, Livorno, Ravenna and Venezia.

If you're a golfer and you're looking to plan an incredible getaway this summer, odds are the Caribbean is near or at the top of your list. But have you ever planned a trip to the Caribbean before, and do you know anything about the state of golf in the region?
KPMG is one of the world's leading professional services company, and has sponsored Phil Mickelson on Tour since 2008. They're also one of the world's leaders when it comes to golf industry research, and they've done extensive work on the state of golf in the Caribbean region.
There's some compelling information in their 2015 study, which hopefully you'll find interesting and informative as you plan your next golf vacation.
Caribbean Golf Course Development
In 2009, KPMG's Golf Benchmark Survey identified 129 golf courses in the Caribbean region, excluding Costa Rica and Belize. Today, that number has decreased to 121 golf courses, a decline of 6 percent. 40% of the 121 courses can be found in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
According to the study, the world economic crisis from 2008/2009 has had a direct correlation on the state of golf in the region, with several course closures. 29% of all golf courses in the region operate alongside a hotel, and 27% operate in conjunction with a residential real estate component.
It's no secret that the Caribbean region relies heavily on the tourism industry, so it makes sense that as the world economy was poor, so was the tourism industry, and as a direct result the local golf industry. This next chart shows tourism's contribution to a nation's GDP – 5 of the top 10 countries are in the Caribbean.
This chart is all you need to know about how important tourism is to the region – and by tourism that means your dollars and your vacations. So when the economy is bad and your wallet is lighter, less money is going to these small islands in the Caribbean.
OK – moving on from tourism. How about local participation? According to the study, it isn't much. Bermuda has the highest localized participation rate, but that's just a measly 3.86%. Here's the full chart:
When you couple this chart with the previous chart regarding tourism to GDP, it's obvious that these countries are struggling to encourage regional golf participation. It doesn't require a PhD to understand that golf will never be on the same level as baseball or soccer to locals.
Including local participation rates, the study highlights four main challenge areas for the golf industry:
1. Water Usage
2. Local Participation
3. Availability of Land
4. Tourist Dependency
Without going into great detail on all of these points, the land availability is the most interesting. Why? Because the economy goes up and down, but land is land. Meaning it can't just appear out of thin air. And land in the Caribbean is scarce. Which mean's there's an issue of supply and demand, and there are limits on new developments.
The Future
OK – so where is the golf industry going in the region? Are we primed for a boom, or another bust?
These numbers are encouraging. So far, this study has read all doom and gloom. But 30 prospects for new courses? Sounds like the economy has steadied enough for smart money to jump back into the pool so to speak.
Jack Nicklaus has the lone new course that opened up this year in the region – TPC at Baha Mar in Nassau, The Bahamas.
"The PGA TOUR is thrilled to expand the TPC Network's brand presence into the Caribbean for the first time by partnering with Baha Mar's visionary resort destination," said Charlie Zink, PGA TOUR Co-Chief Operating Officer. "TPC at Baha Mar truly epitomizes the standard of excellence and tournament-hosting capabilities for which TPC courses are recognized worldwide."
If Jack Nicklaus is pushing in his chips, that's an extremely positive sign that the golf industry in the Caribbean is on the upswing.
The KPMG study is loaded with lots of valuable information, and gives an incredible in-depth analysis of the state of golf in the Caribbean. We've only provided a glimpse of that insight throughout this article.
The study makes clear how dependent the region is on tourism, and the golf industry. An economic crisis slowed down the pace of golf course development, and consolidated the amount of courses in the region. But the study is clear that the industry is gearing up for an expansion, with many courses in various stages of development. The new Jack Nicklaus course alone is proof of that.
Hopefully you found all this information insightful and important. If you plan on taking a golf trip to the Caribbean – have fun!

The painter Stanisław Bohusz-Siestrzeńcewicz (1869–1927) grew up in Vilnius, studied at St Petersburg Academy of Art, and perfected his skills at the Académie Julian in Paris, and in the Munich studio of the Polish painter Józef Brandt. He took part in exhibitions in Munich, Warsaw and Berlin, and his pictures were sold by the famous dealer Goupil. Bohusz-Siestrzeńcewicz painted portraits for the aristocracy, and between 1900 and 1907 he travelled around estates in Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine and painted portraits for their owners. He made witty pen and ink drawings of scenes of everyday life in provincial towns, including horses and marketplaces. He lived in Vilnius between 1907 and 1920, and loved the city. He was saddened by the disappearing heritage and the invasion by the new mercantile taste. His skilful watercolour shows St Catherine's Church, a jewel of Late Baroque, viewed from the Benedictine convent. This sensitive drawing in the Art Nouveau style renders the gracefulness of the towers and their intoxicating height, while the light and the gentle colouring give it a charming summer feeling.
Art album "Vilnius. Topophilia" (Volume I). Compiled by L. Laučkaitė. Vilnius, LAWIN, 2014, P. 210.
Born on 26 November 1869 in the Nemenčinėlė folwark at Verkiai near Vilnius, died on 24 May 1927 in Warsaw. He studied drawing privately under Medard Rudnicki, and after 1881 – at the Vilnius Drawing School. From 1888 to 1894, he studied painting at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, in 1894–1895, improved his professional skills at the Académie Julian in Paris, later studied under Józef Brandt in Munich, and was a member of the Kunstverein society in Munich in 1895–1896. In 1898–1899, he lived in Paris and sold his works for the Goupil art trade company. From 1900, with intervals, he lived in Vilnius, was one of the organizers and directors of Ach Cabaret and a member of the Vilnius Art Society. In 1919, he led the evening studio of nude painting at Stephen Báthory University, and in 1920, moved to Poznań. Bohusz- Siestrzeńcewicz wrote articles about art. He painted genre compositions and landscapes, which were distinguished by features of painterly realism, symbolism and art nouveau. He also created representational portraits of aristocrats, and worked in the field of graphic art: printed his drawings and caricatures in the periodical press, created illustrations, made artistic design for carnival parties, fairs, productions of Ach Cabaret and its publications. In particular, the artist became famous for his pen drawings in Indian ink, representing genre scenes from the life of small towns and markets, and dynamic compositions with horses.
