What's up on the farm?
Finally a bit of rain and a breath of fresh air and cooler temps! We are still about 5" short just for this month, but the rain shower was certainly a welcome change and we hope it is a sign of better things to come. This past week we spent mornings in the field weeding and harvesting, the too-hot afternoons found us in the barn cleaning and sorting garlic. We also managed to dig the remaining potatoes in the south garden, some of which are appearing in your box today. This is a new variety for us (replacing Caribe which wasn't available) so we hope you'll let us know what you think of it. It is supposed to be good for baking, mashing and salads.
We are getting some really nice basil out of the recent crazy weather (who would have guessed?) and we wanted to pass along the suggestion by CSA member Donna M. whose family enjoyed BBT's a couple weeks ago, replacing the traditional lettuce in a BLT with basil. We haven't tried it yet, but it sounds amazing! We've been eating LOTS of pasta with fresh tomatoes, basil, feta and chicken sausage dressed with balsamic and garlic olive oil.
We are still tending the new cucumber transplants with hopes that they will survive and produce by the end of the season, but the older plants have just about given up. There are a few survivors in the high tunnel, but they are not long for the world, as the cucumber beetles have moved in with a vengeance. We finally gave up on the chinese cabbage this week and pulled them out to become chicken feed. They were so damaged and failing that we were just prolonging the inevitable by continuing to dump water on them. We already have the fall crop started and hopefully they will do as well in the late season as they did last year. The onions have started to dry down in the field and now that we've gotten the garlic out of the packing shed, we can harvest the onions and hang them to finish curing for storage. While not many things have flourished this season, it was certainly the Year of the Allium (onion family). The shallots will come out next and then we can start focusing on the leeks.
Our Des Moines members will see two of our farm crew at the pick up this week. Kelsey and Chelsea have taken over the farm management and delivery duties while we attend Sean's Dad's funeral. We doubt that you will even notice our absence, but in the event that you need to reach us, feel free to call my cell 641/203-1709. And we'll do whatever we can from a distance. Also, this Friday is Sean's next (hopefully last) cancer surgery so we will be focusing on that for a bit, but we will be around, even if we are a little less "visible". Again, call or email if you need to reach us. If you are interested in Sean's progress during/after surgery or wish to send him a message, you can follow his Facebook page at The Tall Farmer.
Finally thank you for your many kind words and support during this crazy, challenging season. What an honor to raise food for such a wonderful group of people.
A little detail on your produce this week:
Garlic: This is now fully cured, so just store on the counter for short term and in a dark place with good air circulation for long term storage. Keeps for 3-5 months.
Not much else new in the box this week.
Is a weekly newsletter not enough for you and you want to read more about our daily adventures? Follow us at our blog at http://beyondthebluegate.blogspot.com/ and on Facebook at Blue Gate Farm.
That's about it this week, if you have any questions or comments be sure to let us know.

Lemon-Garlic Oil with Herbs
This dipping oil is equally good with bread or drizzled over sliced tomatoes, grilled summer squash, or just about any grilled meat or fish.
Yields about 3/4 cup.
2 small lemons
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1-1/2 Tbs. minced garlic
Two 3- to 4-inch sprigs fresh rosemary
3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1-1/2 Tbs. minced garlic
Two 3- to 4-inch sprigs fresh rosemary
3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
With a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from the lemons in strips. Remove any white pith from the strips of zest, if necessary.
In a small saucepan heat the lemon zest, oil, garlic, and rosemary over low heat until the oil just begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. The garlic should not brown, or it will taste bitter. Transfer the mixture to a small heatproof bowl and let cool to room temperature. Remove the zest and rosemary sprigs with a fork or tongs. Stir in the parsley.
You can make and refrigerate this dipping oil (hold the parsley) up to a day ahead. When ready to serve, bring it to room temperature and stir in the herbs.

Fixing India's Apprenticeship Regime, Manish Sabharwal, Chairman, Teamlease Services
~ Apprenticeships are an important part of most developed skill development regime because they combine 'learning by doing' with 'learning by earning' ~
Policy makers in India today are facing a peculiar challenge – which sectors will create what kind of jobs in the next 20 years? The answer to this is of course crucial as it will determine the fate of our country. The answer to this question is crucial because educators need to decide what kind of skills and education to impart to young people far ahead of when they hit the labour markets. The answer to this question is also crucial because now in India the notion of district collectors distributing NREGS money as job creators is discredited!
But accepting that most attempts at job forecasting make weather forecasting look like physics is difficult for economists and policy makers who build complex forecasting models. Flawed models – however complex – have dangerous consequences; the physics envy of finance led to huge losses because quantitative models used in calculations like Value at Risk or Credit Default Swaps were precise but incomplete.
A comprehensive and multi-decade review of attempts by many countries including the US, UK, India, Japan, etc. of long-term job forecasting suggests that the accuracy, in hindsight, has been poor. To be fair, just like the higher accuracy of weather forecasting in the very near term (one or two days), these models know where job demand will be in the next one or two years. But this is not enough to craft long term education policy.
India is in skill emergency. Lots of ideas are on the table – in fact they are falling off the table. We need an urgent dose of political courage to resolve regulatory bottlenecks at the intersection of the Ministry of HRD and labour (NVEQF, Sector Skill Councils, etc) and State and Central Governments (Employment Exchanges, Apprenticeships, etc.). We don't need more money but surgery on how money is spent. Not more cooks in the kitchen but a different recipe. Combining Apprenticeships and NREGS would be a radical innovation at the intersection of education, employability and education. It would co-opt employers in ways that the government has never tried. And it would offer dropouts (50% of the 300 million children enrolled in school won't finish secondary school) and unemployable graduates (estimated at 58% of the 14 million students in 26,500 institutes of higher education) an alternate pathway to skills and jobs.
India needs a new Apprenticeship regulatory regime that clearly recognizes, 1) apprenticeships are classrooms not employment, 2) stipends are tuition subsidy and not salary, 3) durations for different trades and candidates need to vary from 3 months to 3 years, 4) the partition between the jurisdictions of the Ministry of Labour and HRD is unnecessary because it creates policy orphan like non-engineering graduates and amplifies the apartheid between skills and higher education, 5) we need employer sponsored programs that are allowed to outsource theoretical training, 6) we need educational institute sponsored programs that are allowed to outsource practical training, 7) the current stick of jail is not working and capacity will be higher if employers are volunteers, 8) moving away from the current license raj to nationwide permissions for national employers will increase capacity, 9) removing the size ratios on apprenticeship programs run by employers will accelerate capacity creation because apprenticeships have a lower expansion speed limit than physical classrooms, 10) the most effective labour market subsidy is subsidizing stipends.
These reforms should be designed to counter current opposition. Models that try to predict where jobs will be created in the next few decades have the efficacy of palm reading or astrology – this makes them unreliable input for decisions with long shadows. More than trying to predict the future, we should try architecting our education system to be self-healing in coping with changing employer needs. What better place to start than expanding our formal apprenticeships to 10 million youth?

|"I have nowhere else to go. You've been a good friend to me, Fallen Leaves. Why would I want to leave you now?"
|— Hollyleaf talking to Fallen Leaves in Hollyleaf's Story, chapter 3
- Below contains in-depth information for chapter three of Hollyleaf's Story. If you are looking for a shorter summary of the entire book, please check the main article.
- Chapter Number: 3 (of 10)
- Page Numbers: 30-38
Chapter description
- Hollyleaf is walking across the cave and heads back to Fallen Leaves, showing him that her leg is fine. During the time she had spent down there, Hollyleaf felt as if many seasons had passed since she started exercising. However, Fallen Leaves assured her that the moon wasn't full yet. He had told her to exercise in the cavern and the tom would leave her for most of the day and all night. As he comes up to her, he is dubious about her leg not hurting anymore. Hollyleaf protests that she's feeling better and thinks back to the Gathering when she revealed the secret of her heritage. Pushing the memories away, the black cat wonders if they could explore the caves. Fallen Leaves thinks she wants to get out, but she tells him she wants to see around his home. The ginger-and-white tom is surprised by this, and states that most cats want to get out of here as soon as possible. Seeing the pain in his eyes, Hollyleaf says he has been a good friend to her and she wouldn't leave him now as she had nowhere else to go.
- The two cats head down a tunnel in darkness, with Hollyleaf learning if she moved too much, she would crash into the walls. She instead uses her whiskers to guide herself in the shadows. Fallen Leaves tells Hollyleaf the tunnel they're using opens out and she could see the loner's image ahead of her. Recognizing the sound of the underground river, Hollyleaf trots into the cave. They recognize the ledge where Lionblaze and the the she-cat used to play. He points out the mouth of the tunnel she and her brothers went down to search for the lost kits and informs her the tunnels aren't as scary once she got to know them. Fallen Leaves catches a fish for her and they eat it before going down the darkest tunnel. After a while, the orange-and-white tom asks if she wants to go faster and Hollyleaf replies yes. During the race, the two friends burst into a cave filled with sunlight. She inquires where they were in relation to outside and Fallen Leaves tells her they were underneath the other side of the hills. He then states they should head back to her nest and they race back into the tunnel.
- The tom pulls ahead and Hollyleaf trips over a stone in her path. She sets off again, but she loses him in the dark. She thinks she could hear his pawsteps, which turn out to be her own steps. The black cat starts to panic and hits her head on rock and thinks the walls are shrinking around her. Fallen Leaves comes back for her and asks if she were okay. The she-cat bursts out saying she didn't know where he was and how she thought she had lost him. Fallen Leaves promises her she would never be lost and takes her back to the nest. He guides the limping black cat through the cave and after she lies down in her nest, he gives her poppy seeds. After he turns to leave, Hollyleaf calls out to him and asks if he wanted to stay with her for tonight. He hesitates, then concedes and stays with her. She starts to fall asleep from the effects of the medicine. As the former ThunderClan cat lies against him, she feels no warmth from him and wonders if being underground had chilled him to the bone.

If you're planning a family trip to Glacier National Park in Montana, make sure to schedule it within the next 22 years. Scientists estimate that by 2030 there may not be a single glacier left – that is how quickly the ice is melting. In this way and many, many others, global warming affects us all. And while the United States is only four percent of the world's population, we are responsible for 22 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. We especially, then, have a responsibility to reduce our emissions and concentrate on stopping climate change.
Global warming is the result of too much of a good thing. Greenhouse gases such as CO2 are natural and necessary to an extent, but too much causes the atmosphere to thicken. This thickening causes more heat to be trapped within the atmospheric blanket and temperatures to rise, resulting in climate change. The problem impacts us all, and it is happening right now. Every person emits their share of CO2 and other greenhouse gases through daily activities. This share of CO2 can be greatly reduced if certain simple steps are consciously taken. Every small reduction in CO2 emissions makes a big difference because WE ADD UP. Here are 10 simple steps that anyone can take to reduce their emissions:
Recycle. Recycling is something simple that anyone can do everyday – from recycling the morning's newspaper to the plastic bottle from lunchtime. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees and 7,000 gallons of water. Plus, trees actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Amazingly enough, recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for three hours.
Buy Local. Before arriving at your plate, the average meal travels more than 1,200 miles – all the while using precious energy and CO2. Make an effort to buy as many products as possible that are locally produced – from food and clothes to furniture. It will ensure that the energy consumed by transportation is as low as possible.
Eat Less Meat. Livestock is responsible for 18 percent of global warming emissions. The millions of cattle being raised around the world release enormous amounts of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Limiting one's meat consumption will encourage cattle growers to raise smaller herds, which will help cool our planet.
Bike. Make a significant contribution to stop climate change by biking to do your errands, attend school and work. You will save one pound of CO2 for every one mile you don't drive.Additionally, you will enjoy the benefits of increased health and vitality.
Demand Change. You can demand that your elected leaders make the climate a priority. Create change by writing letters, making phone calls, voting and campaigning for officials and policies that help ensure our earth's recovery. You can make a difference!
Lights Off. If you're using compact fluorescent light bulbs, turn your lights off anytime you leave a room for more than 15 minutes. This will ensure you save energy and prolong the life of the bulb. If you're using incandescent bulbs, turn your lights off every time you leave a room. You will be surprised at the energy you save.
Drink Tap. Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste each year, which takes about 47 million gallons of oil to produce. The vast majority of plastic bottles end up in landfills. So make sure to filter your tap water and drink up.
Unplug. Appliances and chargers (including MP3 player and cell phone chargers) left plugged in drain electricity, even when they're not in use. Forty percent of all household electricity used to power home appliances and electronics is utilized while the devices are turned off. Using power strips and unplugging unnecessary electronics can save a great deal of money and energy.
Go Organic. Organic agriculture produces soil that is excellent at storing carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. Organic fields are also more resistant to intense droughts and floods (a consequence of global warming) than conventional fields. Purchasing organic products supports the increase of organic acreage, thereby keeping even more CO2 out of the atmosphere.
Switch. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last 12 times longer than incandescent bulbs and require far less energy to run. If every home in the United States switched just one incandescent bulb to a CFL, it would be the equivalent of taking one million cars off the roads.
Everyone can do something to fight global warming, and simple steps are all it takes to make a difference. If each of us does our part to reduce our greenhouse emissions, we can create a healthy, thriving planet for generations to come. The majority of scientists agree that in order to continue living comfortably on this planet, we must reduce our carbon emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050. That's only a two percent reduction per year if we begin now. Remember, no one can do everything, but everyone can do something. WE ADD UP.

Eric Gales New Release
Eric Gales returns with this brand new single Whatcha Gon' Do?, taken from his brand new album The Bookends. The album is out on 8th February 2019 on Provogue/Mascot Label Group and it features collaborations with B. Slade, Doyle Bramhall II and Beth Hart.
The challenge for making 'The Bookends' was for Gales to challenge himself. "As a guitar player it's been established that I can play a little bit, just a little bit," he smiles. But for this album he not only wanted to push himself as a musician, but also as a vocalist, to build up his vocal discography. "What spearheaded that was the artists that I have on the record," he says.
Written over a nine month period, the album was recorded at Recorded at Studio Delux, Van Nuys (CA), The Dog House, Woodland Hills (CA), Blakeslee Recording, North Hollywood (CA) and the day before he was due to fly to LA for pre-production the original producer David Bianco tragically died. It was Bianco's management who then suggested Matt Wallace. "I heard his work and the kind of people he has produced such as Maroon 5, Faith No More and all these sorta cats. When we met up together it was just perfect. I just trusted the guy and it ended up being great, I love Matt Wallace," says Gales.
Talking about being in the studio he elaborates; "The whole vocal thing was something I consciously wanted to push and Matt was on the same page, saying, 'there's gonna be sometimes you might not like me because I'm gonna push you because I feel that I know what you can do, and its more than just guitar playing'. It was just really powerful and moving."
Gales' story is an incredible one, he was a child prodigy and released his debut album The Eric Gales Band in 1991 as a 16 year old on Elektra Records. It was the first of 10 albums on a major label through a blistering career. He has released 15 studio albums in total ahead of 'The Bookends' and a host of other collaborations. He has battled drink and drug issues and spent time in jail in 2009 for possession of drugs and a weapon.
Eric Gales band is: Eric Gales (Guitar, Vocals), Mono Neon (Bass), Aaron Haggerty (Drums), LaDonna Gales (Backing vocals, Percussion) and Dylan Wiggins (Organ).

Joe Biden often used the noun malarkey. His latest malarkey was on a recent appearance on "The View" when he said: President Barack Obama's administration did not have a "single whisper of scandal."
Others maintain Obama's administration had many newsworthy scandals, such as:
Operation Fast & Furious
IRS targeting conservative 501(c)3 nonprofits
Ignoring Hezbollah drug-running
Trading five Taliban prisoners for Army deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Secret VA waiting lists
Mass domestic spying by the NSA
DOJ investigation of journalists
Mocking Mitt Romney for sounding the alarm on Russia
Calling ISIS the "JV Team"
Iran Deal "echo chamber"
Possible FISA abuse at DOJ/FBI
Not a single whisper of scandal? Really Joe? If that wasn't malarkey the cow will jump over the moon tonight.

And the last episode of my 2019 in review series is finally here! Yes I released all four parts on the same day… I have A LOT of posts that need to go up before January is already HALF OVER so it couldn't be helped. Hopefully it has been a nice welcome back to my blog after my LONGGGG hiatus? Like with my top 5 books post, these aren't in any particular order, but just a collection of my favourite albums and songs of the year!
Firstly, a quick honourable mention to MAX's Hell's Kitchen Angel that I loved this year, but was released previously and therefore doesn't count!
Catfish and the Bottlemen- The Balance
It wasn't until I was struggling to decide which song from this album deserved to be a song of the year that I realised it was hopeless, I loved this album and the whole thing had to be here. So here it is.
Catfish and the Bottlemen are a Welsh rock band who were formed in 2007 and have been releasing stunning albums ever since. As they are a rock band, naturally, this is a rock album.
Songs to listen to include my personal favourites Basically, and Overlap, but listen to any song and you're in for a treat.
Jus2- FOCUS
Jus2 is a 2-member sub-unit of boygroup GOT7 and is made up of two Korean vocalists: JB and Yugyeom. This is the duos debut album, although Yugyeom has been around since 2014, and JB since 2012.
Both have released songs on Soundcloud before, and their personal sounds are very evident in this R&B-meets-House album. A sprinkle of pop and K-Pop production magic makes this the perfect in-between album to appeal to fans of both their solo and group work.
Songs to listen to include the chic title track, FOCUS ON ME, the brighter track Touch, and the seductive Toiki (Sigh), which was released on the Japanese edition of the album (wait to the end for the best part).
IU- Love Poem
IU is one of my favourite Korean solo artists. She's been around since 2008 and is incredibly beloved in Korea, although she doesn't receive nearly as much attention in the West. Her voice is gorgeous, her songs are well produced and have an IU-quality that make them incredibly special.
I always look forward to IU's work and this is my favourite album from her since 2013's Modern Times. In fact, this album brings back some of the jazzy sounds of the 2013 album, along with a mix of slow R&B and emotional ballads, for a varied but perfectly cohesive album.
Songs to listen to include Blueming and above the time, both of which have music videos, as well as Love Poem, which is incredibly beautiful and was released as a single prior to the album coming out.
Honourable mentions go to GOT7's Spinning Top: Between Security and Insecurity, and TWICE's Feel Special! Please check these albums out to and give them all the love!
The Night of Seokyo- Dancing In The Moon (ft. Dawon)
The Night of Seokyo are a K-Indie production crew that have been around since 2016. They often work with vocalist Dawon, who is featured on this track, and her vocals make the song even more expressive with her dreamy vocal colour. Dancing in the Moon is my favourite of their songs to date and really encompasses the sound and dreaminess that I have come to associate with their work.
Lee So Ra- Song Request (ft. SUGA)
Lee So Ra is a beloved singer in Korea. She first debuted in 1993 as part of a jazz group, and released her first solo album in 1995. As an artist she is incredibly versatile, having sung everything from heavy rock to soft ballads, and this latest song is definitely towards the ballad side. Suga's rap here is soft and heartfelt, adding to the heart-warming and comforting atmosphere of the song. I highly recommend watching the music video above with English captions on as the lyrics are particularly beautiful.
GOT7- Page
GOT7 are a boygroup with 7 members who debuted in 2014. PAGE is a b-side track off of their album Spinning Top: Between Security & Insecurity and was written and produced by member JB (of Jus2, above) in collaboration with other producers. The group initially wanted this to be the title track, but it was passed up for the more marketable ECLIPSE, but I can see why they wanted this to be the title track: it's full to the brim with personality and catchy hooks.
Honourable mentions go to Red Velvet's Sunny Side Up! and TAEYEON's Four Seasons! Please give these amazing songs a listen.
And those were my favourite releases of 2019! Feel free to discuss your own favourite music in the comments, I would love to hear what you have been listening to!
- What were your favourite albums of 2019?
- What were your favourite songs of 2019?
- Were there any songs here you didn't know?
- Did you like any of these songs too? Or do you disagree with me?
Happy listening,
Keira x.

Floods and landslides in Karnataka and Kerala have damaged vast land holdings of coffee and spice crops in plantations that supply the bulk of India's demand. The Coffee Board has done preliminary surveys (current year) in the calamity-affected areas in Karnataka and Kerala to estimate the damage to coffee plantations due to floods and landslides.
According to the preliminary assessment in Karnataka, of the crop-bearing area of 226,244 hectares, about 97,365 hectares has suffered a crop loss of more than 33 per cent and 620 hectares is reported to have been affected by landslides and floods.
In Kerala about 850 hectares has been reported to be affected by a crop loss of more than 33 per cent and about 16 hectares of plantations are reported to have been affected by landslides and floods.
According to the assessment made by the Directorate of Horticulture, Karnataka, 11,502 hectares of black pepper, 3,184 hectares of ginger, 573 hectares of turmeric, and 25,891 hectares of chilli have been severely affected owing to heavy rain this year with an estimated crop loss of more than 33 per cent.
Around 43 per cent of the crop-bearing areas of Karnataka is estimated to have been affected with more than 33 per cent crop loss, said Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. The Coffee Board of India has done preliminary surveys in the two states to estimate the damage due to floods, landslides, premature fruit drop, and fungal diseases, he said.
In Kerala, the Department of Agriculture Development and Farmers' Welfare has assessed the impact of the rain and found 167.79 hectares was affected. The affected area includes 40.23 hectares of pepper, 88.67 hectares of nutmeg, 13.25 hectares of ginger, 25.08 hectares of cardamom, and 0.56 hectares of clove. Nearly 7,658 farmers have been affected.
The Spice Board assisted the government of Karnataka in assessing the damage caused to cardamom plantations in Coorg district.
According to the report, about 1,800 hectares of cardamom plantations have been affected with a crop loss of more than 33 per cent. The report has been submitted to the state government.
Under the provisions of the State Disaster Response Fund and the National Disaster Response Fund, relief in the form of input subsidies for agricultural crops, horticulture crops, annual plantation crops, perennial crops, and sericulture is provided when crops loss is 33 per cent and above. For perennial crops, norms of assistance are Rs 18,000 per hectare. Coffee and spices need three-four years to give economic yields after planting.

Wednesday was another great day sightseeing in London.
St. Pancras Church
I got off the the Tube at the Kings Cross exit to immediately find this magnificent old building that is being turned into a series of luxury condos. I believe this used to be St. Pancras Church.
I wonder why the Ventura County Star doesn't go this route?
In the British Museum's courtyard they have this very large sculpture of the Elephant's starting center, Gilly Cocuzza, in his stance.
How could anyone have predicted this great tribute to our landmark first season in the IFL's top league?
Since they have monuments to beheadings in London, I did not dare to take any pictures inside the Sir John Ritblat Gallery where they house all sorts of treasures.
Among the artifacts in the Gallery were:
The Magna Carta
William Shakespeare's First Folio
The Gutenberg Bible
Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
An illuminated manuscript of every schoolboy's favorite, "Beowulf"
Hand written works by John Milton, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte, Lewis Carroll, Dante, Thomas Hardy, Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad and Virginia Woolf!
Music scores written by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Ravel and even the Beatles!
They also had texts from books from religions from all parts of the globe.
It was a very different and interesting hour in this very well presented Gallery.
After finishing my tour of the British Library, I took the #15 bus nicknamed "The Heritage Route", from Trafalgar Square to the Tower of London. This bus takes you past some great sights in the heart of London. The next series are my highlights from the bus trip that I walked by as I walked back retracing the bus route.
If you want to sue someone in the highest Civil Court in the UK, this would be the place!
He has plenty of work to do in London.
The heat wave continues and is all the buzz on TV and in the newspapers.
It got up to an unbearable 78 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday.
People were dropping like flies everywhere but these crazies just sat in lounge chairs at the Victoria Embankment Gardens tempting the fates!
London's EMT's must be nearing the breaking point!
This is the oldest church in the City of London having been founded in 675 A.D!
This venerable church has seen, among other things, the funeral of Thomas More, the baptism of William Penn and the wedding of John Quincy Adams.
All Hallows has some great stained glass windows with heraldry of a seafaring nature that is featured in the next few photos.
Pubs with names like this is why I only take pictures in London where they are allowed... BE AFRAID!
Of all the sun pictures I've taken all over Europe in the last seven months for my good friend, Koreen FitzGerald, this is my favorite one.
This monument has the name of every firefighter who died battling the flames in London during the Nazi's Blitz in particular as well as the entire 1939-1945 involvement by Britain in World War II.
It may hit a scorching 79 degrees Thursday in London according to weather forecasters! I must drink LOTS of liquids or face serious consequences!
He completed the building in his lifetime which is VERY unusual.
His goal was simplicity inside the Cathedral but after his death Victorian artists really added a lot of ornate touches to interior of the front half of the Cathedral near he altar.
The back half is still done in Wren's simplistic vision.
Tudor Style on the left and perhaps some Cuban influence on the right
That concluded the Bus #15 Heritage Route highlights for me, now it was on to dinner and a play in the West End's Theatre District.
Dinner in Soho's Belgo Centraal
This very cool underground restaurant features food and beer from Belgium. I had a great soup and sausage combination platter (but still not as good as Sicilian sausage) plus a very interesting Belgian beer.
If one of MY parents had been of Belgian extraction, I would definitely have explored their culture's tastes. It definitely beats, oh let's say, Irish cuisine.
The Trappist Order, who take a vow of silence, were founded in France but after the United States, Belgium has the second most Trappist monasteries in the world with seven inside their borders.
I was wide awake thanks to two humongous cappuccino's before entering the theatre. This was a two man play about a ghost, The Woman in Black, haunting a small English village.
It was both very well produced and well acted. This play has been running here for 18 years!
Some parts that had girls shrieking in fear and, I must admit, surprised me too.
This was the third play that I've attended in London since last January, actually the fourth one if you count taking Laurie to "The 39 Steps" a second time. It was another great night in the London theatre scene!

Tony Philliskirk's side extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a 4-2 win over Crewe Alexandra.
A brace each from Dylan Moonan and Chris Conn-Clarke, gave the Clarets their fifth win in their last seven matches.
Burnley started bright and the presence down the right, of Kane Patterson and Rhys Fenlon was proving to be a nuisance for the Alex defence.
And the Clarets were awared a corner after numerous attacks, before opening the scoring through midfielder Moonan.
The former-Wigan man headed the ball home direct from the corner, to give Philliskirk's side the lead.
And moments later it was a duplicate of the opener, as the visitors had a second.
Moonan again, heading in from a corner, to give the Clarets a two goal advantage at the break.
However, Crewe did half the deficit early into the second half, after latching onto an error from Lewis Thomas.
But it was Burnley who then struck again, as Conn-Clarke fired home the third of the afternoon, to double the advantage.
And the Northern Irishman had a second shortly after, as the Clarets made it 4-1 late on.
The home side did grab a late consolation goal moments before the final whistle, but it was the away side who walked away with all three points, extending the unbeaten run to four matches.
BURNLEY: Thomas, Patterson, Chima, Pruti, Rain, Fenlon, Woods, Moonan, Conn-Clarke, George, McGlynn.
Subs; Waller, Bridges, Major, Unwin, Connolly.

Following an intensive investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health, Salmonella Braenderup responsible for seven laboratory confirmed cases was traced to infected banquet staff at a large restaurant in Bloomington, MN. The specific Salmonella Braenderup associated with the infection conformed to PFGE pattern BR134 and all isolates were identical applying whole genome sequencing.
Outbreaks of Salmonella Braenderup were attributed to consuming meals at the restaurant from late March through early April. The final report on the outbreak implicated romaine lettuce and tomatoes as possible vehicles of infection.
Taken at face value this limited outbreak could be regarded as just another restaurant-associated outbreak of salmonellosis. What is important is that the serotype involved was S. Braenderup, apparently responsible for a major recall of eggs in 2017. This incident required depopulation of a complex holding two million hens. Until the specific outbreak investigated by the FDA involving a limited number of patients in northeast states, Salmonella Braenderup was not associated with egg-borne salmonellosis and there have been no reports of cases attributed to eggs from any farm operating under the FDA Final Rule on Prevention of Salmonella or under a state EQAP.

Predicting Performance over the Course of the Simulation
The purpose of this research was to study simulation performance over time. This was done by measuring performance and a variety of antecedent variables three times during a three year game. Using multiple regression analysis, the results showed that it is easier to predict later performance than earlier performance, and those motivated early in the game and participate in smoothly functioning teams perform better.

Low cardiorespiratory fitness, even among those who are considered fit and healthy, could be a warning sign of future coronary heart disease (CHD), suggests research published in the European Heart Journal.
Researchers examined data on peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing and associations with fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary revascularisation among 4,527 healthy and fit adults in Norway from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT3).
After an average follow-up time of nearly nine years, the risk of the primary endpoint fell by around 15 per cent per one-MET (metabolic equivalent task) higher VO2peak (HR 0.85; 95% CI 0.77-0.93), with similar results in men and women.
Those in the highest quartile of VO2peak had 48 per cent lower risk of event compared with the lowest quartile (multi-adjusted HR 0.52; 95% CI 0.33-0.82; P<.005>
"Our results should encourage the use of exercise as preventive medicine. A few months of regular exercise may be an efficient way of reducing the cardiovascular risk," said lead author, Dr Jon Magne Letnes from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The authors said future studies should pursue integration of VO2peak into risk prediction algorithms.

Introduction: Simple Project Enclosure for Circuits
Creating a proper enclosure for an electronics product can be a pain in the neck sometimes. The box isn't big enough. Or your buttons and connectors don't fit. You can't get to the battery after you put it all together. There is always something.
Well, if you have access to a laser cutter, I've found the following technique quick and painless.
Technically, it is not exactly a full enclosure, just a top and bottom panel attached to each other using standoffs, but it is very versatile and easy to work with.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
Acrylic, I used 1/8" thick
Circuit Board, I used this one from Radio Shack
Standoffs, you can find these all over the place, I used McMaster-Carr
Nuts and screws that fit the standoffs, again I used McMaster
Laser Cutter
Screw driver
Small wrench
You will also need some sort of vector graphics program to create/edit the panels, I used Adobe Illustrator. Below are the files I used for this project.
Top Panel
Bottom Panel
The most important thing is that your panels have mounting holes in the same position as the circuit board you're using.
I've also found it very helpful to laser etch the name of the circuit into the top panel and the actual circuit diagram on the bottom panel.
Step 2: Putting It All Together
When your are done building your circuit board and laser cutting your acrylic panels, you will need to determine how much clearance you need between the board and the top panel (don't forget to include the battery in these measurements). This will determine what size of standoff you require.
Using the standoffs and nuts (or screws if you got standoffs with two female ends), mount the bottom panel to the circuit board. Use a wrench to tighten.
If you need to mount switches, controls, or connectors to the top panel, now is the time to do it. Then place the panel over the standoffs and screw down the top panel.
You're done!
I've used this technique on a bunch of circuits and have found it very useful. Hope it works out for you as well.

That came out really nice! I'm going to try this with a Dremel, bit #561, and a straight edge tool. I saw a guy cut acrylic pretty well with this setup. A laser cutter is not accessible to most hobbyists. A Dremel is.
That looks so awesome!, now to find a laser

For the last several years, Growing Bolder has given you in insider's look at a revolutionary new building taking shape in Winter Park, Florida. In just days, the Center for Health & Wellbeing, which combines wholeness, fitness and medicine under one roof, will open its doors. Growing Bolder has been there every step of the way, documenting the journey from dream to reality. Watch this mini version of our upcoming documentary, "A Revolution in Wellbeing."
Filling Their Days With Fun, Friends and Exercise
According to the Center for Disease Control, 80% of people in this country do not engage in the total recommended amount of exercise needed to stay healthy. One of the most common reasons given is that many just do not want to go to a gym. But exercise does not have to be work. Here's a lesson from a group of women between the ages of 75 and 96 who have found a way of disguising their exercise as fun.
Celebrating a Culture of Health
The oldest African-American incorporated town in America just achieved a brand-new designation. The town of Eatonville, Florida, was awarded the Culture of Health Prize by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropy dedicated to improving health and wellness.
Quitting the Rat Race to Downward Dog
Meet a woman who quit her stable corporate job to follow her passion and purpose — teaching yoga to children. It's a path she never could have imagined for herself, but it's one that's not only changed her life, it's having a dramatic effect on the lives of her youngest students.
Healthier Kids Lead to Healthier Communities
Letecia Foster used to weigh 230 pounds. She knew she had to get healthier for her own lifestyle, as well as to inspire the kids at her elementary school, Hungerford Elementary in Eatonville, Florida, one of the nation's first black-governed towns. Principal Foster's personal transformation is helping spur on a wellness revolution in this historic […]
Stretch Yourself
Multiple research studies have shown that a regular stretching routine can keep your muscles strong and flexible, helping to reduce injuries and tension, improve circulation and lower your overall stress. So why don't more of us do it more often? Step inside a class designed to help you stretch your body, mind and spirit and see how simple it is to change your life.
An Inspiration for Health & Wellbeing Initiatives Nationwide
When it opens in late 2018, the innovative and revolutionary Center for Health & Wellbeing will combine fitness, medicine and wellness in ways never before seen in a single center. As the construction project achieves a major milestone — the topping out ceremony, a tradition steeped in history — the center's partners predict how it will forever change the community and will serve as an inspiration to initiatives nationwide.
The Magic of Mentoring
There is no denying that something magical happens when older people get together with children. Watch what happens when William Jones, recently retired, makes his way to the Joe R. Lee Eatonville Boys & Girls Club to volunteer his time mentoring the children, and see why William tells us that every time he gives back to the community he is inspired, fulfilled and always a little surprised!
A New Destination for Wellness
One of the nation's first facilities offering wellness, medical and fitness programs and services — all under one roof — is coming soon to Winter Park, Florida. See how it will forever change the way people in the community and beyond access life-saving and life-changing resources.

Part 2 is here
In the previous parts we worked to setup our basic AWS infrastructure including SNS, S3, and Role. We also added the appropriate permissions for the flow of events to work unimpeded. Next, we setup a typical CI/CD flow using Azure DevOps so that as we make changes to code and infrastructure our application is changed appropriately; this fulfills the main tenants of GitOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). In this part, we will actually develop the code for our Lambdas and test that our various other resources are set up correctly.
Define the DynamoDB Table
In keeping with our main theme, we will deploy a DynamoDB table using Cloud Formation. Here is the YAML we will use:
Something to note here is, I chose to NOT use a parameter to define the name of the table. You definitely could but, that then speaks to deployment considerations since you generally do not want your table names disappearing. Also, with Dynamo the naming is localized to your Amazon account so you dont have to worry about extra-account conflicts.
What is DynamoDB?
DyanamoDB is a NoSQL database available in both normal and global variants from Amazon. It is ideal for handling use cases where data is unstructured and/or coming in a high volumes where enforcing consistency found in RDBMS databases is not a primary concern.
In our case, the data that we store will be from Amazon Rekognition Label Detection which will be consistently different and thus makes sense to store in a NoSQL fashion.
The way Dynamo works is it expect SOME structure (in this case we guarantee there will ALWAYS be an Id column) provided which serves as the tables index. There is a great amount of flexibility in how primary and secondary keys are defined along with sort indexes within those key structures.
Create Thumbnail Function
Our first Lambda will respond to an image being added to our "raw" bucket and create a copy of that image with its dimensions reduced (thumbnail). Originally, when I did this I used System.Drawing but was met with a libgdiplus error; the error happens because System.Drawing is built on gdiplus which is not installed, by default, into Ubuntu Docker images. Rather than attempting to get this work I did some research and found the SixLabors imaging library that was featured at re:Invent. (link: https://sixlabors.com/projects/imagesharp)
One of the other interesting bits to this is, when Lambda receives an event from SNS the format is a bit different from when its comes from S3 directly. For that I create a mapping classset that can be used with Newtonsoft JSON.net.
Here is the core logic which does the resizing – outside of this it is all about reading the Stream from S3 and writing it to our Thumbnail S3 bucket.
Analyze Image Function
In addition to creating the thumbnail image we also want to run the image through Amazon Rekognition (Computer Vision) and use the Detect Labels to gather data about the image. This data will then be written to our DynamoDB table.
In Dynamo each row is unstructured and can have a different schema – each column for that document is represented by a key on the provided ItemDataDictionary (as shown above).

The report published on the global smart pills market revealed the growth to be at a notable pace. The valuation of the smart pills market was further stated to surpass its previous valuation.
Helicopter FCS or Flight Control System is a highly integral part of a helicopter. It is used for operating, controlling, and monitoring the flight without the need to have a continuous supervision of the pilot. It can be pneumatic, electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical system that aids in automating a vast number of in-flight tasks.
One of the biggest driving factors behind the growth of the market is the emergence of automatic FCS. Aside from offering flight automation, AFCS boasts enhances the stability and handling of the helicopters by closely monitoring both the internal as well as the external conditions. Add to this, an automated FCS helps ensure safety and efficiency in operation of helicopters by securing the landing amidst difficult climatic conditions and low visibility. Manufacturers across the globe are coming up with a various improvements in FCS like fault tolerant flight, inertial navigation, adaptive flight, aeroservoelasticity, and trajectory control of an unmanned space re-entry vehicle.
Increasing technological advancements has resulted in the introduction of fly-by-wire (FBW) technology, which is one of the advanced versions of the FCS. This technology helps stabilize the aircraft in an automatic manner with its electronic flight control technology. The technology includes a flight computer which thoroughly analyzes the control activities of the pilot and sends electric signals to the flight control surface actuators without the need for any mechanical linkage. This major shift towards the growing usage of FBW control systems in helicopters can be a key driving factor behind the growth of the market in the coming years.

The Story Behind Creating 100 Videos In a Month
100 Videos In January
Late last year, I reexamined my YouTube channel. I'm sure you heard me talk about it on my podcast and viewed a few videos on my blog. I spent the month of December experimenting with the platform. I uploaded one video per day and after about a week, I was hooked. I decided to commit and create a video everyday for the next year. My plan to kick off the project was to upload 100 videos in January 2017, here's what happened.
First, let me tell you it was a success. I did it, and my 100th video was posted at 11:30PM January 31st, 2017. However, I faced a lot of issues and learned real lessons which I will share with you. The great thing about uploading 100 videos is now I have a nice set of data to watch. Although it's nice when a video is picked up by the community immediately, the reality is it can take months before some videos gain traction.
Some of my videos, which I posted last January took months to gain traction, and now they have thousands of views. So, you don't really know unless you have a large following if your video is a hit. I started the project with just over 100 subs – YouTube lingo for subscribers. I now have 172. One thing I know, it takes time to grow a social media channel.
I Didn't Think About This
My thought is, if I kick of the beginning of the year with a lot of videos it will help my momentum though the rest of 2017. I jumped right in and failed to recall the fact I have a vacation, mostly off the grid during mid-January. Plus, I had a last-minute opportunity to move both my offices in to a new awesome location. Vacation and moving made for a busy January. Yet, I persisted. Persistence is a success key to grow your social media channels, no matter how painful.
Fortunately, I have an advantage. I speak to groups regularly, which gives me a lot of experience for create videos. This makes it easier for me to create a 2-5 minute or longer videos in one take. In other words, I don't need to spend a lot of time editing. Editing is often a time suck for many YouTubers. You many notice cut after cut in some YouTube vlogs. I've seen some videos which seem to have an edit every five words. However, there are many videos with higher production than mine. Each YouTuber has their own style.
Learning YouTube
I'm beginning to understand my strengths and weakness. I get what my followers seem to like, which videos work well for YouTube search and the types of videos YouTube recommends and shares. This understanding seems like a natural fit because it's similar to standard SEO – which I'm familiar. YouTube wants videos people will watch and keep them on their site. Watch time is very important and longer videos with good watch time are gold for YouTube.
Building a YouTube following is like any other social media. Consistent quality content attracts followers and builds community. I earn a few likes on my videos, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, I don't get many comments. I know interacting with your audience is important. However, you need to have audience commenting to develop the engagement. I'm ready, when I finally earn the comments. It takes time and effort.
Also, I'm still struggling with the perfect thumbnail style. A good custom thumbnail is important to grab people's attention. Fortunately, they are slowly getting better.
Moving Forward
If you are serious, solid networking is an important part of social community development. The other day I searched for a meetup.com group for YouTubers in Detroit. I found nothing. So, I created one and set up an event at my studio in a couple weeks. If you are in the Detroit area, feel free to sign up (here), there is limited space. I'm hoping to connect, network and support other people who wish to build a YouTube channel.
Currently, I'm posting one video per day. I'm trying to make the videos a little longer, with better hooks and more interesting topics so more people will watch most of the video. Below are a couple of my recent videos. Let me know what you think, especially if you have recommendations and topic ideas. Of course, if you enjoy the videos please subscribe.

WASHINGTON, October 29, 2015 – Takeover fever is in the news today once again, although the market in general doesn't seem much impressed. The Dow, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ are continuing to get hit Thursday as we near the 1 p.m. hour EDT, with utilities suffering in particular.
Yet the urge to merge remains strong, perhaps because, last week aside, stock prices of takeover targets have gotten a lot cheaper since August. In news from the financial sector this morning, word is that Cleveland bank Keycorp (KEY) could be ready to announce a takeover/merger with Buffalo's First Niagara (FNFG) as early as Friday morning, although neither institution is claiming victory just yet. Given that a deal might be inked tomorrow, however, that's a pretty fair indication that it's likely to happen.
On the healthcare/pharmaceutical front, surprise news popped up that one pharma giant, Pfizer (PFE) may be interested in taking over another one, namely Allergan (AGN), which itself only recently was merged into a larger pharma entity that assumed the famous Allergan name.
While we live with a essentially socialist regime in Washington, one that's instinctively averse to big corporate mergers as a matter of ideology, the proposed pharma merger, at least, is probably part of a passive and ongoing plot to use the pricing advantages of larger pharmaceutical and healthcare companies as an incentive to merge, creating fewer and fewer of them and potentially leading to virtual one-payer control of the entire medical sector by the Federal government.
In the meantime, however, it will mean bigger pharmaceutical and drug companies (re: the recently announced merger of Walgreen's [WBA] with Rite Aid [RAD] and less consumer choices. The reward all around is supposed to be lower prices for consumers, but we've heard that one so many times before that we know it's not really true in the long run.
As far as the bank blend is concerned, Keycorp, while smaller than the late, great National City Bank back in those pre-crash days, did ultimately manage to survive the Great Recession's early carnage. (The latter Cleveland banking giant was folded into Pittsburgh's PNC.) Now healthier, though not spectacularly so, Key likely sees its close-by neighbor as a synergistic way to grow its modest empire by adding what amounts to contiguous territory in Pennsylvania and upper New York State.
For its part, First Niagara was also a survivor in the banking carnage of 2007-2009, and was authorized by the Feds to grow its own portfolio by scooping up the area U.S. branch banks that the beleaguered HSBC was giving up along with grabbing select properties that PNC/National City were forced to divest in their own little arrangement with the Fed.
But, unlike Keycorp, First Niagara has had a tough time righting its profit numbers since its acquisitions. Its previous CEO resigned under pressure in 2013, and its new boss has clearly been cleaning up the books, right-sizing, and getting FNFG ready to "restore shareholder value" by getting bought out by someone else, at a modest premium, of course.
Trading in FNFG was briefly halted this morning, as insiders had clearly glommed onto the merger rumors whereupon they commenced an attempt to gap the stock up into the stratosphere. But once word leaked out that Key might offer only a "modest" premium to First Niagara's Wednesday afternoon closing price caused FNFG shares to actually trade down when they re-opened some 5-10 minutes later.
Previous word on the whisper takeover number had been $13 plus or minus per share, which initially caused FNFG to jump up from the $9 to the $10 range in September when word first leaked. The stock briefly peaked this morning at over $11 before the halt. But when trading resumed, it had retreated back to the mid-$10 range. We're watching this one with some anticipation, since we already owned shares of FNFG around the time those September rumors surfaced.
In other banking news, another of the Maven's small bank holdings, New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) announced it would be acquiring another small New York bank, Astoria Financial (AF).
Although this acquisition will be immediately accretive to NYCB's book value, investors weren't impressed and drove the stock down this morning. That's likely because, in conjunction with the deal, NYCB announced it would be issuing new shares (seen as dilutive) as well as cutting its outsized dividend to pay for the deal.
We did the only sensible thing, however, and picked up some more shares. Under the idiotic Dodd-Frank law, strong small and regional banks will likely start earning money quicker and more easily than their TBTF (Too Big To Fail) banking neighbors, so when those interest rates finally begin their slow upward ratchet, these banks should start getting a bigger bid and sooner.
That said, the Maven regards these small bank positions as long termers with a slow fuse. Trigger happy traders need not apply. Fingers crossed.
On other fronts, as you may recall, the Maven warned earlier this week that investors and home traders should be wary of moving on stocks too fast until Apple (symbol: AAPL) earnings and Wednesday's Federal Reserve minutes were out of the way. For once in this confusing 2015 action, that advice proved reasonably astute.
Apple reported blowout earnings Tuesday. But instead of its usual post-earnings haircut, the stock had a healthy bull run yesterday, although it's settled down a bit in Thursday morning trading.
Ditto the effects of the Fed minutes, reported Wednesday (at least to the public) at 2 p.m. EDT. Somewhat earlier, hedge funds, very rich people and the usual insiders began kicking stocks up bullishly prior to the news, indicating they knew full well the Fed wasn't about to announce an interest rate increase.
Oddly enough, though, a few minutes after the minutes' "public" release, stocks took a pretty good hit. Hard to say why, really, given the reasonably good news that the tape had effectively pre-announced. But it was what did not appear in Wednesday's Fed release that gave some traders and analysts pause.
What close readers of the text did not see was language indicating that the continued interest rate increase pause would remain in place indefinitely. In fact, it looks like the door is definitely back open for a small December rate hike announcement, something that most traders and analysts had been completely discounting for the last two weeks at least.
The mood brightening about a half hour after yesterday's announcement and stocks closed up nicely. But this morning, sobriety seems to have returned to markets once again. Most stock sectors are down. Except energy and big oil.
After yesterday's surprising news on the domestic energy front—a big and unexpected drawdown in U.S. oil supplies—goosed heretofore sinking oil prices mightily, traders launched into a buying panic, leading to big moves up in that sector. Those moves have continued today, BTW, particularly among oil refiners like Valero (VLO), which stand to benefit whichever way those prices go, it seems.
Again no trading tips today. Until we can figure out whether the market will ultimately like or hate those interest rate hikes that may or may not be happening, it's hard to place bets. We've already picked up a few utility shares that are now getting slapped around today as a result of the Fed's waffling, so what's the point in getting something else in any sector (except maybe for more FNFG and NYCB), since any random sector may get smacked around tomorrow.
For old buy and hold dudes like the Maven, these are troubled times indeed. Best thing is to remain cashy, keep that powder dry, occasionally shoot at targets of opportunity and hope this year's early Santa Claus rally resumes within a fortnight.

Four Kent doctors have criticised the campaign group Save Our NHS in Kent and called them 'inaccurate and irresponsible'.
The four professionals from hospitals and NHS trusts across Kent, three of whom with a special interest or specialism in stroke services, penned a joint letter backing plans to create three hyper-acute stroke units in the county.
NHS bosses recently announced their preferred option for stoke services in Kent which includes closing the one at QEQM.
A huge protest outside QEQM in Margate took place earlier this month, organised by the campaign group, which saw South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay pledge to fight to save Margate's stroke unit.
But the four doctors have slammed Save Our NHS in Kent and said the county's eight CCGs are trying to come up with the best solution for the whole of Kent.
'The simple truth of the matter is our stroke services do not consistently meet best practice standards across Kent and Medway'
The letter reads: "The statement by Save Our NHS in Kent suggesting that our plans for stroke services will have 'deadly consequences for people in Thanet and east Kent' is inaccurate and irresponsible.
"The guiding principle of the clinicians who have led the Kent and Medway review of urgent stroke services is 'First do no harm'.
"To state that doctors, nurses and therapists would develop and support plans that are a "dangerous experiment on the people of Kent" and will result in "less chance of surviving and…worse outcomes" is to call into question the dedication and expertise of those who want to do a better job for the patients they care for.
"The simple truth of the matter is that, as they currently stand, our stroke services do not consistently meet best practice standards across Kent and Medway, and our stroke teams are not always able to provide the first class care they want to deliver.
"This is something that as healthcare professionals we have a duty to address.
"There is a compelling body of national and international evidence to support the safety and benefits of our proposals for stroke services in Kent and Medway that we made public during the consultation earlier in the year and is available on our website.
"Any plans that compromised the safety of patients would not have been on the table, let alone the focus of public consultation.
"There has been extensive correspondence with Save Our NHS in Kent about this evidence which, despite the fact that it has been developed and endorsed by senior and experienced experts in stroke medicine, they refuse to recognise.
"Save Our NHS in Kent have repeatedly been offered a meeting to discuss the proposals, an offer they have yet to accept.
"While people are free to express their disappointment and voice their concerns, we believe that spreading fear and uncertainty hinders rather than helps the continuing public conversation that we are committed to having with local people about future plans for their health services."
Who are the doctors?
The four doctors who wrote the letter are:
Dr Prasanna Aghoram, Consultant Physician in General and Geriatric Medicine - Special Interest in Stroke Medicine, Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust
Dr David Hargroves, Consultant Stroke Physician, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust; Clinical Lead for Stroke, South East Clinical Network and Senate; senior clinical advisor on stroke medicine to national Getting It Right First Programme
Dr David Sulch, Interim Medical Director and Consultant Physician in Stroke and General (Internal) Medicine, Medway NHS Foundation Trust
Dr Peter Maskell, Medical Director, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
How have Save Our NHS in Kent responded?
A response from Save Our NHS in Kent, co-signed by members Carly Jeffrey, Helen Whitehead, GP Dr Coral Jones and Dr Paul Hobday, said they believe their concerns are justified.
They said: "Save Our NHS in Kent would like to respond to yesterday's statement by pointing out that 'time is brain'; this is a maxim used by neurologists to refer to the rapid loss of brain cells when a stroke is left untreated.
"Thanet's 141,000 residents will be one hour away from crucial stroke care once these plans are implemented, with possible ambulance response times of 40 minutes for some patients. We are confident that our concerns are justified.
"They say that their 'guiding principle' is 'first do no harm', and stress that the project is clinically led, but the fact is that the project in Kent is led by high-salaried managers with a business mindset, plus a few clinicians.
"The STP's main duty is to drive through national reforms to scale back services so that far fewer hospitals in the country provide acute care.
"Sadly, the duty to 'do no harm' is contradicted by the legal duty of the commissioning groups to eradicate their large financial deficits.
"We stand by our assertion that it is an experiment on the people of Kent, as no other area in the country has such a high percentage of the population outside 45 minute journey time. We challenge the executives at the STP to disprove this.
"All of the studies being used to back up the stroke review plans are flawed in some way or not applicable to this area. We are working currently on a document that summarises the numerous ways in which the NHS managers are using data inappropriately, and in particular the misleading claim that death and disability outcomes will improve - there is no such evidence.
"They are also aware that studies exist that prove there are disbenefits to moving acute care further away, but they have consistently chosen not to mention that.
"They have also ignored their own impact assessment that was carried out independently in December 2017; it shows that negative consequences are likely."

Christmas Break is almost here! And back when I used to get one (can we start a petition to institute Christmas Breaks for us, please?), I remember that marvelous feeling of pure and unadulterated joy. Like your face is about to explode type of joy.
I didn't have to do homework for two weeks, I didn't have to listen to that boring teacher for two weeks, I don't have to deal with that annoying kid for two weeks, I don't have to wake up early for two weeks, I don't have to do ANYTHING for two weeks.
Simply put: Christmas break rules.
The question for us as parents is to figure out a way to engage and involve our kids in something through that break that will fulfill, nourish and charge them up for the new year. Because this is what their ideal Christmas vacation will look like:
They will reside permanently in their bedroom with five devices surrounding them, without showering or getting out of their pajamas, they will have forgotten what forming a full and cohesive sentence sounds like and they will subsist on any food item in which the first ingredient is either "High Fructose Corn Syrup" or "Sugar."
Christmas Break highlights a trait that most people will fall into during these "down times" in our lives: if we don't have a positive vision/direction, we tend towards apathy and regression.
We go from human beings to some sub-species when we lack vision and direction. So this is all the more important that we continue to offer vision and direction to our kids during this Christmas Break.
What I would encourage you to offer your kids is a lesson in what it means to take a Sabbath.
This is a nearly extinct phrase in our cultural ideology as we think that down time or any form of rest will only serve to waste time, money and productivity. We are on the go, 24/7, and we rarely have an off switch.
When I was growing up, I did three things: go to school, eat and play soccer. That was it. There was nothing else I did. There was nothing else I wanted to do.
But now, our kids are maxed out. They go from one extracurricular to another, to this sport, to this church activity, to this musical instrument, to this job, to this club and then they have to catch up on the three hours of homework they have to complete every day. In all this busyness, we teach our kids one thing: you are only productive when you are busy.
I want to dispel that myth. Because busyness without God is a vain pursuit, you cannot be fully productive without an adequate and refreshing "time-out" with Jesus Christ. I would even go so far as to guarantee you that the time that you waste with God will become the most productive part of your day. Let me say that one more time to make sure you're not too busy to read it:
The time you waste with God is the most productive part of your day.
We have completely forgotten what it looks like to have a Sabbath and reconnect and reestablish our passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ. Even though it is one of the Ten Commandments:
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy."
Exodus 20:8
I think it's interesting that Moses decided to write the word "Remember" there. It's as if God knew we would forget it so easily. Our kids don't know what a Sabbath is because we never take them. We don't shut everything down and just commit time to spend with God in Bible reading, prayer and worship.
We all go into a new year with our expectations on high, we set our goals and resolutions and we set out to make this upcoming year the best we've ever lived. Our students are no different. They want to become better versions of themselves, they want to succeed in school, they want to progress in their goals.
But don't cripple your children into thinking that their busyness will bring them success. Their God brings success through their own passionate pursuit of Him.
Christmas is such an amazing time and our students look forward to having this time away from their obligations. I know we teach our kids to serve, we teach our kids to give, we teach our kids to think of others over the holidays. But I think to really make the MOST out of our Christmas Break this year, we NEED to REMIND our kids to "be still and know that He is God."

I'm not someone you would call "handy." If you put a hammer in my hand, you should probably take cover.
Luckily, Fractures come ready to mount right out of the box with just a few simple steps. Once you've received your Fracture in the mail, it's time to display it on your walls for all your friends and family to admire.
It's a really fast process, and you'll quickly have your favorite images ready to showcase on your walls. No hammers required!
What you'll need:
- Your Fracture
- One Wall-Dog™ screw (included with all Fractures)
- Scissors
- Phillips Screwdriver
Step 1: Open it like it's Christmas
Once your Fracture arrives in the mail, start by taking it out of it's secure packaging. To open, carefully take a pair of scissors to cut through the tape. Next, take your Fracture out of the box and cut the plastic banding to remove the package insert.
Now that your Fracture is free from its packaging, locate the small groove in the foam-core backing that secures your Fracture and protects the glass during shipping. Using your finger, gently pry up the glass edge and release your Fracture from the packaging.
All Fractures come complete with a free Wall-Dog™ screw. The screw is 1-1/4 inch long and can be used for concrete, masonry, and can be placed directly into drywall without the need of an anchor. The best part is that they can be used for any size Fracture.
Step 2: A Little Bit Of Elbow Grease
Once you've found a place on your wall, it's time to grab your Phillips screwdriver and make a pre-hole for your screw by working the screwdriver back and forth. Now that you've made a small puncture, you can place your mounting screw into it. Start twisting the screw by hand until it can be turned in the rest of the way with your screwdriver. Be sure you don't apply too much pressure or you may accidentally push through the drywall.
The best way to mount Fractures to any wall is to ensure the mounting screw is flat and even with the wall when placed. If you feel comfortable using an electric screwdriver or drill, these work great too.
Step 3: Ready… Set… Hang Your Fracture!
You've picked out the perfect place to display your Fracture, and now it's time to display it proudly. Just flip your Fracture over and you will see a keyhole cut out on the foam-core backing, this is where the head of the screw fits in. For large and extra large Fractures, the keyhole will include a metal reinforcement to secure the extra weight. Don't worry, your Fracture is safe and secure with the Wall-Dog™ screw in place.
Be careful you don't apply downward force on the Fracture or it will damage the foam-core backing. Just let gravity do all the work, as the weight of the Fracture will set itself into place.
That's it. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. You deserve it.

Are you thinking of a design only for the sake of it? If you answered affirmative to it question, it's not nonetheless the proper time to try to to a design. Remember, a style serves a particular purpose. If you're unsure whether or not Associate in Nursingd do} an overhaul of your website, detain mind that you simplyr current style may need a particular purpose that you won't fathom. you may lose that perform if you are doing a design.
On the opposite hand, if your web site has had the identical website style since 1990, maybe it's time to try to to a design.

If this can be your case, here are some points to excogitate before doing a design.

Your web site loses its current identity (for the higher or worse) and your regular guests won't recognise your new style initially look. You risk losing them simply because they thought they landed on the incorrect page. Hence, it's terribly necessary that you simply retain a characteristic feature from your recent layout. maybe it's the emblem of your website; perhaps it is the identical text vogue for the title for your site.
To play it safe, place a poll on your website to let your guests do the talking. If they assume it's necessary for the web site to own a recent look, provides it to them!
