Scopolamine Withdrawal Syndrome, extended use warnings and study needed
0 have signed. Let's get to 500!
I am starting this petition in the hopes of enacting change in the labeling, use and warnings associated with the long term use of Transderm Scop and any form of scopolamine and the need for further medical research into Scopolamine Withdrawal Syndrome and use of Transderm Scopolamine longer than the recommended 72 hrs. Please see the brief story of our personal experience below and following a link to a medical journal from last year supporting our experience and another blog also supporting a similar story. Webmd has over 100 consumer reviews many which support similar reactions after extended exposure. Please sign this petition so the FDA at least has to start an investigation. Please help me help another family from going through this tremendously difficult and dangerous journey. No harm can come from further knowledge and education, that is all I want. Sign and share!!
I am writing to get help for my Husband, David Maeder. He was first prescribed the Transderm Scop patch in June of 2014, and was continuously prescribed this medication until Dr. Judith White at the Swedish Balance Institute recommended that we remove this patch and that it could be harmful and be effecting my husband's health. So in order to see her it was removed on May 16th, 2016. Dave was prescribed the patch 3 months post interparachimal hemmoraghe of his cerebellum for severe nausea. About 6 weeks after first being prescribed the scopolamine patch we reported a change in Dave's overall mobility and health status. Urged by his physical therapy team, we advised his pcp at the time that his balance had significantly worsened, his dizziness and vertigo were much worse, his double vision way more unstable and his nausea had returned,he could barely get out of bed. He was sent for an MRI for fear of a new hemorrhage, but MRI was consistent with where he should be post initial injury and we were advised that set backs were common post stroke and to keep working with his therapists and at home.
Dave continued to work hard at therapy when he was able, yet continued to suffer everyday from debilitating nausea, double vision, vertigo, dizziness, anxiety, depression, itching and this feeling of his brain being sucked out of the back of his head, sleeping all the time, everyday was different and unpredictable. We relocated to Seattle from Texas and took Dave to Swedish and asked for a second opinion of Dave's overall case. The scopolamine patch was continued when we moved there, but it was stopped abruptly due to insurance approval and he got even worse, horribly ill. All of his symptoms suddenly so severe he was bed ridden for days, so the patch was put back in place per his doctors as being effective. We now believe he was suffering from scopolamine withdrawal syndrome. We continued to voice our concerns as to Dave's overall quality of life and frustration of finding any relief from just one of his symptoms again and again to his care team. Physical therapy was not helping, he plateaued at using a large staff if and when he got out, but always a huge fall risk with multiple falls every week. He had stitches after a fall last summer. Nothing helped, no one had any ideas, I was referred to Dr. White by a client after sharing our story.
When calling Dr. Whites office to arrange an evaluation I advised my concern after receiving the paperwork and finding out Dave had to remove the patch as he was always horribly ill due to the withdrawal syndrome, still at the time we were not aware of this. Her nurse advised us that no evaluation could be done if Dave was on that med as it dramatically effects their testing and that it was very unusual for a patient to be on this medicine for this amount of time continuously. We weened him off as per the same instructions as a failed attempt to take him off only once before, but was unsuccessful due to severe withdrawal symptoms, and we used zofran and reglan to help with the nausea, I took time off from work to make sure I could help him and we did it. We saw her and she cautioned us about the scopolamine and known side effects and thought that it could be influencing Dave's health in a negative way. She did all her tests and Dave failed terribly, but she could not find anything neurological that she could do, but wanted a follow up c.t. scan for a possible anomaly in his left ear. We left with the promise to follow up and went home.
Dave went straight down hill and had about 2 weeks of severe withdrawal syndrome. He was up all night, raging, cursing, put a whole in the wall, he was paranoid and delusional and manic. I was calling his pcp office and getting no help. I called at my whits end the Saturday after we saw Dr White and spoke to the doctor on call. She was going to call his pcp and Neuro doc and get back to me with a plan, but she never did. I was about to have him committed when we had a huge blow up and he started to come around. He started to talk to me and tell me how confused he had been. Then he said he had something exciting to show me. We were walking to get our kids from the school bus. He handed me his walking staff and just started walking, I ran after not wanting him to fall knowing a step was coming and he just stepped off and then turned in a circle like it was the easiest thing in the world. You have no idea, this man vomited almost everyday for 2 years, he could not take more than a few steps unassisted, he could not tilt his head or turn in any way side to side without debilitating vertigo. He was home bound, unable to drive due to the severity of his double vision and overall medical status, advised not to leave the house with out someone because he was a fall risk. He was unable to get out of bed for days at a time. I started crying and asked how is this possible!!
It has been 4 months since Dave stopped the prescribed transderm scop patch. He now drives as his double vision straight on is almost gone, he does not use any assistance when walking, he has no more nausea unless flare ups of his scopolamine withdrawal syndrome appear. We followed up with Dr. White, last time Dave was there he had one of the longest recorded episodes of vertigo they had seen, 4 weeks later, she could not induce vertigo. She said she knew the scopolomine was having an effect but the change was amazing!! He is able to do almost anything he wants, it is fabulous. The change in his daily life, our children everything is so much better. He is able to partake in life in a way he has been unable to in so long. It is wonderful and amazing! In the same breath, there are some problems as well and this is where we are having an issue.
Dave is still suffering what we believe to be adverse reactions to the long term scopolamine prescription. We have spoke to his new doctors and so far no one has any help or advice as no one has any experience with this. He is having clammy hands and feet, periods of extreme anxiety exactly like when he withdrew from the scopolamine initially. Confusion, paranoia, excessive sleeping all signs of scopolamine withdrawal syndrome. We have been told we are in uncharted waters as typically this is a 3 day recommended use drug. There is some research out there, but for some reason a lot of doctors don't want to talk about this or the possibilities that scopolamine withdrawal syndrome is real and debilitating and research needs to be done. We are concerned he has several things that we feel need to be followed and a baseline established, but no one believes us and we don't want to return to the doctors that were prescribing it. We have a great new pcp through the university of Washington, but she is not a brain doctor and can only help us so much. He is seeing a new neurologist with UW who ordered a new MRI and wants me to keep a journal of these symptoms post scopolomine. There are no case studies for long term use, he is patient 0. His recovery in just weeks was miraculous after how hard he worked with amazing physical therapists for a year with almost no progress. We did everything the doctors asked, we were well liked as we try to be as positive as we can. This adverse reaction to the scopolamine and the scopolamine withdrawal syndrome is real and it was missed and I know with everything I am that drug was not helping my Husband and was keeping him sick and from addressing his real post stroke recovery.
It's now been a year since I started this petition. Through my efforts I have located 4 other people who are in the same position as Dave. He went through a second longer more severe withdrawal a year after his initial withdrawal. He developed a severe case of dermatitis all over his body especially his arms and legs which is an allergic reaction. The episodic events became unpredictable and every few days for 4 months. The episodes now start with itching, then nausea and abdominal cramps, paranoia and anxiety, then sleeping. He doesn't form memories during these times and often doesn't remember the specific events that happened. His short term memory continues to be a huge factor. Still trying to find a doctor that actually wants to find answers and not just mask symptoms with meds.
I just want someone to hear us. It is about finding answers and help for my husband's future health and people being aware of these side effects. I have found other stories of people suffering the same after using the medication for just a few weeks or even days and he was on it for 2 years. Doctors that have knowledge of it know the dangers, but too many don't. People complaining about this drug on med watch and no one is doing any research and it has been around forever. I know that we are not alone and I have no idea how to get the word out and try to enact some change and to find help for our family. Thank you and please consider looking into our case.

If you've just acquired an Amazon Echo, you may be looking around for some new things to try with it. The Amazon Echo is a new, affordable, and convenient technology that can be used for the developing of smart homes and automation. Though there are dozens of features for the Amazon Echo, here are a few of the home automation features you might want to try first.
1. Your Security System
The first thing you may want to do with your Alexa is integrate your security system. A number of security features can be integrated into Alexa, including:
- Connecting to smart locks that can be opened and closed through Alexa's interface or on a schedule.
- Getting live feeds from the security on your Amazon Echo's own screen, assuming you have a version of the Echo that has a screen.
- Integrate video ring doorbells so you can be more cautious about who is entering and exiting your home.
There are even complete security systems that can be automated and integrated with Alexa, making it easier to secure your home without having to invest a lot of time and effort into it.
2. Connect Your HVAC
A smart thermostat is often one of the first improvements you want to add to your Amazon Echo. If you have a learning thermostat, your Amazon Echo can be used to control it. Put your heating and cooling on schedule, or tell Alexa to modify the temperature on-the-fly.
Tired of paying too much on your cooling and heating bills every month? Don't you wish your thermostat could just turn off when you left but get your home to the right temperature by the time you came back? These might be signs that you're ready for a smart thermostat. It's the trendiest development in smart home technology, and it pays for itself in energy efficiency.
HVAC systems are popular to automate because it reduces your costs; rather than having your system going the whole time, you can instead have it on only when you need it. It can also improve comfort; imagine being able to tell Alexa to begin warming your home when you leave the office, so you're toasty all through winter.
3. Connect Your Lighting
With Ecobee Smart Light Switch technology, the Amazon Echo can detect daylight and occupancy in order to adjust the lighting system. If you want your lights to be automated, reacting to darkness and those walking into the room, the Amazon Echo can help.
Smart lighting systems are an economical way to reduce your bills, as they can ensure lighting isn't used when no one is around or when it's already bright enough outside. They're also an excellent way to improve your comfort, as you can simply walk into a room rather than having to manually switch on your lights.
Ecobee isn't the only smart lighting option. Many systems are designed to use Amazon Alexa as an optional hub; you simply have to find one that's well-integrated.
The Amazon Echo is a powerhouse of a system that can be integrated into a large number of home automation features. In fact, it's even integrated into Protect America's comprehensive security and smart home solution. If you want to start using the Amazon Echo's capabilities today, contact the experts at Protect America.

Philip Morris International is continuing one of the quietest sponsorships in sports.
The largest publicly traded tobacco company has renewed its backing of the Ferrari Formula One team for three more years even though advertising laws mean it hasn't displayed the Marlboro cigarette brand at a race since 2007, team manager Maurizio Arrivabene said.
Cigarette makers were once major sponsors in the sport, with three companies spending over $750m on the world's most popular car competition in 2001, before rules banned ads on cars.
While tobacco brands can't feature on race cars, Ferrari's vehicles feature a red-and-white square that resembles a Marlboro cigarette pack.
"The synergies are unspoken and unpromoted but they are there," said Mark Jenkins, a professor of business strategy at the UK's Cranfield University, who wrote a study about the team.
The relationship between the team and sponsor is so close that in 1996 Ferrari changed the colour of its racing cars to orange-red from blood-red to suit Marlboro, Mr Jenkins said.
New York-based Philip Morris, the only cigarette maker retaining a link with Formula One, extended the sponsorship through 2018 at a board meeting over a year ago without making a public announcement, Mr Arrivabene said in an interview.
The company, which promotes the link at some airport duty free shops and the streets of Monaco, doesn't make a fanfare about the sponsorship to avoid rousing anti-tobacco lobbyists, according to Mr Jenkins. The next race - the Monaco Grand Prix - is next Sunday.
Philip Morris confirmed it extended the relationship beyond 2015 without giving financial details. It's paying $160m annually under the current deal, 'Sports Pro' magazine reported in 2011. A Philip Morris spokeswoman said Ferrari designs the paint scheme. The agreement allows consumers and business partners to visit Ferrari factories and attend races, she said.
The links go deeper than colour. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Ferrari's parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, gets $320,000 a year as a non-executive director of Philip Morris and holds $5.2m of the company's shares, according to Bloomberg data. He smokes Muratti cigarettes, another of Philip Morris's brands.
In September, Philip Morris held a board meeting at the Ferrari team's HQ in Italy, according to 'La Repubblica' newspaper. Maurizio Arrivabene was hired from Philip Morris, where he was a marketing executive, to lead the Ferrari team in November. The EU ban on tobacco advertising in the sport started in 2005. Territories including China and Monaco allowed Ferrari to carry Marlboro branding until 2007.
Even before the ban, it wasn't Philip Morris's style to broadcast the arrangement, Arrivabene said. A previous contract extension with Ferrari was made public with a one-line press release, he added.
Philip Morris switched from backing McLaren, whose drivers included Ayrton Senna, to supporting Michael Schumacher's Ferrari in 1996. Archive footage of those drivers and racing movies such as 'Senna' in 2010 and 'Rush' in 2013 also give racing fans a reminder of the Marlboro association with Formula One.
"Just because you remove the brand, it doesn't mean people don't see the link," Jenkins said. (Bloomberg)

The first weekend in May was a very "Oceanport" weekend, indeed. Although the Oceanport Recreation Committee's annual miniature golf outing at Bluegrass Mini Golf in Monmouth Park Racetrack was postponed due to the inclement weather on Friday night, our little slice of heaven was chock full of activity all weekend. Saturday morning opened with the Maple Place Middle School's Annual Color Run at Blackberry Bay Park. I can tell you that the kids in Oceanport have no problem walking up to the town's Mayor and dumping bags of colored flour on his head. No problem whatsoever. None. I know who they are, however, and you can rest assured they won't be getting any calls while I am refereeing their basketball games next year. This fun run's purpose is to raise money for the 8th grade's class trip to Washington, D.C., but with its mix of kids, adults, music, exercise and dedicated volunteers, it's actually an incredibly colorful, somewhat messy, 3.2 mile celebration of all that is wonderful about Oceanport.
Shortly after the Color Run ended, Monmouth Park Racetrack opened on its doors and 21,500 people walked through the gates. They were treated to a warm, sunny (thank you Buzzy Baldanza, Oceanport's Weather Maker) opening day of great live racing, family picnics, hot dogs, hamburgers, horribly gaudy men's sport jackets and mis-matching pants, women's Derby hats ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime and the most bizarre, prolonged and confusing finish in Kentucky Derby history. While all of that was going on, the 2019 Monmouth Park Charity Fund's Kentucky Derby Celebration was honoring Oceanport's own Maureen Lloyd for her 20 years of service to the organization. The charity event was packed to the rafters, just like the rest of Monmouth Park. Afterwards, local restaurants were bursting at the seams with patrons as the day's celebrations spilled over into the night. The last night of Triumphant Life Church's week long Spring Carnival at Fort Monmouth closed out this very busy Oceanport Saturday and, although it was very successful, we hope that Buzzy Baldanza can arrange for better weather at next year's carnival!
A special note of thanks goes out to Oceanport's police department, DPW and First Aid Squad, all of which played an integral part of the success of these events. Each of these Oceanport celebrations went off without a hitch, and the support and assistance of these individuals made that possible.
On Sunday, moreover, I had the privilege and honor of participating in the Eagle Scout induction ceremony at the Oceanport Hook and Ladder building. Two fantastic young men, Christopher Schuff and Jack Donohoe, became Oceanport's 109th and 110th Eagle Scouts. They join Gerald R. Ford, Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bloomberg and Oceanport Councilman Ricky Gallo as internationally known individuals who have earned the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America. This is no small accomplishment for these two boys and Oceanport is blessed to have such an inordinate amount of Eagle Scouts in a town so small. Fun Fact: Arthur Eldred was the first Eagle Scout and he was awarded this honor in 1912. There is no truth to the rumor, however, that he was Buddy Brocklebank's classmate.
This past weekend is proof that Oceanport is alive, well and - as it says on our logo - "a great place to live." Our volunteers are always energized, our professional and volunteer emergency services providers are knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring and, our community is filled with people who love to be involved and make a difference. The vibrancy of Monmouth Park Racetrack this weekend bodes well for the summer and our spring looks exciting, too. Oceanport will be hosting the Oceanport Lion's Club's Strawberry Festival from May 29th to June 2nd, the Memorial Day Weekend Jersey Shore Food Truck Festival at Monmouth Park, Oceanport's Memorial Day Parade on the morning of Memorial Day and TWO car shows in June at Fort Monmouth (Sunday, June 9th at Wallington Avenue and Saturday, June 15th at Malterer Avenue). Please get out of your house, get involved and enjoy all that Oceanport has to offer!

Author(s): Sally Morgan
Picture Books | Recommended Indigenous Australian Children's Books
"When Moon shines and earth breathes a breath of deepest night dream, little one, dream into the peace of a wonderful world. From sunrise to night-time, celebrate the wonders of nature with this rhythmic and radiant bedtime story. "
Sally Morgan was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1951. She is a full-time painter and writer. For as long as she can remember Sally wanted to paint and write. However, at school she was discouraged from expressing herself through her art because her teachers failed to see the promise in her individual style. It was not until she researched her family history and discovered her Aboriginal identity that she found meaning in her images, and gained the confidence to pick up her paints again. Both her books and her paintings and screenprints have earned awards and wide-spread popularity.

Sparkling shores lapped by aquamarine waters set the stage for a memorable array of adventures, from sunrise strolls along peaceful stretches of Mid-Beach to scenic paddles in search of manatees off Virginia Key. The one constant in Miami is its uncanny ability to astonish.

Did you know that on average you have approximately 2 minutes to escape once a fire has started in your home? The size of a fire doubles every 30 seconds. Fire alarms save lives and homes. Everyone must evacuate as soon as an alarm sounds. It is very important that you and your family are prepared in advance for such an event. That way, you all know what to do in the very limited amount of time you have. Here are some tips for what to do when your fire alarm goes off and ways that you can prepare for a fire before it even begins.
According the National Fire Protection Association, nearly 66% of all household fire deaths were results of homes with either no smoke alarms or working smoke alarms with old/missing batteries. It is very important to have a working smoke/heat detector or fire alarm in every room of your house. Having working detectors/alarms allows everyone to escape safely.
Alarm(s) should be placed on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove. Change batteries two times per year and replace battery-powered alarms every 10 years.
|A heat detector goes off either when a certain temperature is met or if the temperature in a room rises at a certain rate.
|A smoke detector goes off when it senses the presence of smoke.
|A fire alarm is a system of devices: heat detectors and smoke detectors to sense a fire, and can activate sprinklers or alert the fire station when triggered.
You should always schedule to test your smoke detectors at least once per month. If you do not want to do that, make sure you at least test it several times each year.
Check the manufacturer's instructions for the proper method of testing your smoke detector. But, in general, most battery-powered and hardwired smoke detectors can be tested in the following way:
|If your fire alarm or detector is wired to a monitoring system, contact your security system company to notify them of your test.
|Make sure that the person who is testing the alarm is wearing hearing protection. The alarm is very loud and if you are within a close range, it can damage your hearing.
|Have someone go to the farthest end of the house to make sure that they can hear the alarm from there.
|Press and hold the test button on the alarm (make sure all detectors' horns sound if you have an interconnected system). Repeat with ALL detectors. Never test the alarm with an open flame or heat source.
|Purchase a small spray can of smoke detector test aerosol to test if the smoke detector will actually work in a fire. Spray the detector and wait for the loud noise to commence.
|Use a vacuum to remove the test material to silence your alarm.
If a fire occurred at your home tonight would everyone know what to do? Every family should have a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice each year.
Having a fire escape plan can make it easier and faster to move everyone out of harm's way. Make sure you take these important things in consideration when you are creating your fire escape plan.
• Create a floorplan of your home with two exits designated for each room.
• Have ladders ready for when you have to escape from the window at higher floor.
• Make sure escape routes are clear of debris and doors and windows open easily. Windows with security bars or grills should have an emergency release device.
• Assign someone to lead the elderly and kids to safety.
• Plan an outside meeting place where everyone will meet once they have escaped. A good meeting place is something permanent, like a tree, light pole, or mailbox a safe distance in front of the home.
• Make sure children understand the plan and will not hide during a fire.
• Have fire extinguishers ready.
We never expect our fire alarm or smoke detector to sound off. Our first instinct may be to run to the detector to shut it off.
MISTAKE! Fire is fast! Call 911 or Emergency Services from outside the home.
Once a fire starts, it can spread quickly. The size of a fire doubles in size every 30 seconds. In as little as 3 minutes, the heat from a small fire can cause everything in the room to burst into flames (called a flashover). Exit your home right away using the fire escape plan.
1. Do not open the door if you see smoke coming in from the cracks.
2. Check doors by feeling for heat with the back of your hand before opening them. If it is hot or the door knob is hot, leave the door closed and exit through the windows.
3. If you're stuck in a room, keep the smoke out by putting towels in any gaps and try to find a different way to escape.
4. Stay low to avoid breathing in smoke.
5. Try to crouch and crawl to maneuver.
6. If you are in bed when the alarm goes off, do not sit up, instead roll out of bed to avoid inhaling the dangerous fumes and smoke.
7. If time permits, grab a wet towel to cover your nose and mouth with it.
8. If you catch on fire, stop drop and roll.
9. Never hide under your bed or in a closet.
10. Get out of the house immediately and go to your rendezvous point.

Hear me out
The iPhone autofill emoji when you type "good" is, for me, 👌. This is like supposed to be the *magnifique* hand gesture I guess? Whatever. The point is I've adopted an unofficial policy of always adding the autofill emojis no matter what. But, for the record, in this case, the 👌emoji is not a gesture I would ever use in real life. I just felt compelled to clear the air on this topic. Thank you.

Highlights from our Careers Day 2018, Brighton & Bexhill
The Dv8 Careers Day was held across both Brighton and Bexhill campuses to give students the opportunity to explore what options and pathways are out there for their next steps in work or education. We had careers hubs, university talks and lots of guests speakers from various creative industries and practical workshops for students to take part in. Read on below for a small insight into what both days held and some of the excellent advice and discussions that took place.
Chris Bell – Self employment in the Creative Industries
Our very own Chris Bell (Digital Magazine Tutor) gave a valuable insight into freelancing in the creative industries. At some point in your creative career you may well end up self employed, so Chris opened up a discussion for the potential pros and cons of self employment…
Points made across the session…
- Can't get away from paying tax – just pay it! If you ever need to speak to HMRC, just remember that they are people on the end of the phone. Be friendly and polite and they'll do their best to help you. Don't try to be clever or dodgy!
- Buy Public liability and insurance – some employers / clients won't let you work without it.
- You can claim expenses for your business against your tax.
- Money is very fluid. Be organised, divide money up into tax, money for you and money for the bank. Stockpile and save for the future, and plan for contingencies.
- Being self employed can mean being your own boss with flexible hours!
- If you're working with another business or client, make sure a contract is drawn up with agreements from both parties.
- Being self employed is really satisfying. You get out what you put in!
- Cons can include less overall stability, you have to fund and market your business, might have to pay staff, you have no redundancy or holiday pay.
Rich Cross – Music Production, Logic workshop
Music Production tutor Rich held a workshop in which students would remix sounds and snippets from songs. The great thing about this session was that you didn't need any musical knowledge, you just needed the ability to listen. The rest is cutting and moving isolated recordings from well known songs. Rich rightly explained that in these digital times, you don't have to be a musician to work in the sound industry!
Jessica and Yoti from Yiayia's Studio
We had the pleasure of meeting Jessica and Yoti at our Bexhill campus to speak to students about running a recording studio. Some of their top tips included…
- When you're starting out, build contacts early! For example, record a drummer but instead of taking their money for your services, get their number so you can call in with them another time for a different project you might have.
- Don't let equipment dictate your skill level or define your abilities.
- It's not about how much money you spend on a mic, it's about where you put it and how you use it.
- Use your ears as much as possible.
- Learn how to tune instruments. Very important in recording as you can't re-tune once you're editing.
- Look after your equipment well!
Paul Oliver – Games Development Workshop
Our Games Development tutor Paul delivered a practical workshop where students were introduced to Construct 2; a free tool used to build 2D games with any device on a Google Chrome browser. (Download Contruct 2 here) Paul opened up his session with a dynamic stater of commander and robot where pairs would have to communicate a sequence of actions using one word and one number per command – safe to say it was harder than it sounded! Our game creators wasted no time after building all sorts of obstacles in their first ever self made games completed in just under an hour!
IntoUniversity Workshop
Our friends from IntoUniversity tackled some more university myth busting and had a focus on the interview process. They shared their top tips for dealing with tricky questions that you might face and how each person can present 'the best you'.
Eamonn – Media Production Workshop
With a whole background of camera and photography knowledge and experience under his belt our Media tutor Eamonn delivered a workshop on camera use talking through what camera you should use in which situation and how to get the best picture out of them. The best camera is the one that's most accessible to you which for many may well be snapping away on your mobile phone!
Jarlath – Media Production Workshop
Jarlath ran a dynamic workshop in which he first got students to think about what is media? It's presenting, and re-presenting. To emphasise this point, he got students to share two truths and one lie whilst the everyone else had to guess what was the lie. You'd think this was easy but no! Would you believe that "I drove my ill dad on a moped to the hospital in India at the age of 13" was in fact a truth? It's all about how you present these statements. Students then learnt to set up a camera and lighting equipment and had a go at carrying out their own interviews as a small production team.
Tom Hines – Project Manager at Audio Active
Our good friend Tom from Audio Active delivered a session with students interested in music careers. He explained that he didn't have a direct route into music, in fact he went round the back of the traditional route into becoming a music teacher! So just because it's taken you a while to get your feet off the ground, you can achieve and start something new at any point in your life! He shared that he worked lots of small jobs that didn't have any relevance to music, but ultimately they helped him to get where he is today; working his dream job now.
Vicky Speirs – University Workshop
Vicky was on hand to dispel any university myths and answer any burning questions our students had about applying, bursaries, entry requirements and UCAS points. Safe to say a few students left feeling that university is definitely a viable route for them!
Darren Buss – Photographer
Big thanks to Darren Buss for delivering a talk on photography and running your own business! Some key points from Darren during his session…
- Nobody asks me about the qualifications I have, they just want to see I can take really good photos.
- The earlier you start, the better. Build that confidence and those skills early.
- Helps to have a side job during quieter periods.
- Use social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and attend things like wedding fairs for drumming up business.
- Have your public liability , indemnity and equipment insurance.
- When introducing yourself to a client for the first time, it's nice to give them a handheld portfolio rather than just showing a slideshow on a screen.
- You will need to meet clients in person, can't get away from it so build up your people skills.
- Start by advertising your services at a reasonably low price and build up gradually once you have a strong portfolio.
- Collaborate with other artists, florists, make-up artists… networking!
- Don't use cliche photos to start your portfolio.
- Say yes to every opportunity, even if you have to do some research and blag a little!
- Promote yourself a little everyday.
- Don't offer too much, have one solid package to begin with.
Adam Sheldon, Big Egg Films – Setting up and running your own business
Our very own Adam Sheldon took a session to inform our budding creative students about what it's like setting up your own company and shared some of the the things to watch out for!
- It's not an easy thing and Adam made a lot of mistakes along the way, but it's all part of the learning curve and becoming successful.
- There are some fantastic groups that will give you your first independent opportunity for media related work experience such as Mandy, The Brighton Film Network (Facebook group), Star Now, and Shooting People
- People / clients take advantage of money and fees. Make sure you have a payment plan and contract in place.
- It's not easy talking about money and can be uncomfortable, but it's important to get the money conversation out of the way. It's not rude, it's professional.
- If you don't know how much money you should be charging a client for your services, use BECTV as a guideline.
- If you ever get into a position where someone isn't holding up their end of the bargain (like paying for your services), don't go to social media and rant about them – could be seen as slander.
- The creative industries are large but also small – it seems like everyone knows everyone!
- Have a watermark to protect your goods.
- It's okay to work for free when you're building contacts, experience and portfolio, but know your worth and when to charge.
- Charging too little for something can be as bad as charging too much!
- Don't forget to register yourself as self employed (if you are).
Graham Luckhrust: Mr Bongo and Greymatter
Mr Bongo came to our Brighton campus to share his story and inspire our future producers and artists!
- Get the music right. If you're making high quality music then it will get out there.
- You need to be able to hustle.
- When you're young you just want to make music and aren't that interested in record labels. That's natural!
- If you're not getting signed to a label, don't let that put you off, keep going. Persist!
- You learn a lot from putting a record out – the process and feedback.
Annie Redfern – Creative Events & Project Manager
Annie came and delivered a session about her fascinating journey from studying Textile design to making props and retraining as a food stylist. Throughout her presentation she emphasised the importance of looking for themes that emerge in your work and study, to help guide you towards the things you are best at and will therefore enjoy the most. Helpful and unhelpful advice, necessity and chance all play a part in shaping the long and winding career path so don't take things too seriously and make sure you make the most of opportunities. Make sure you don't miss out by focusing too much on doing things and missing the variety on offer in your subject area.
After staring enviously at all the beautiful window dressing, icing tablecloths, product catalogues and unicorns that Annie had designed she returned the group to the questions she started with 'What is a career?' – A very good question…
Niall and Adam – Having a professional online presence
For everyone wanting information on best social media practices or guidance on how to set up a professional social media profile from scratch, Adam and Niall delivered a session to discuss all things social!
- Social Media profiles are free to set up and a great way of gaining extra exposure.
- Be consistent with posting on social media with pieces of your work and updates on work in progress, etc. You don't have to post everyday, just show that you are actively posting and engaging online.
- Social media profiles are essentially online portfolios – show off what you do!
- You might want to set up a small website or blog to complement your social profiles where you can display the work you create. Point anyone you meet who is interested in what you produce to these channels.
- When starting out, have a separate social media profile for your professional work, and another for your personal life.
- Share you work on both personal and professional channels, but don't share too much of your private life on the professional profile – you might lose some of your audience.
- Make sure you are happy with your privacy settings because employers may well look up your personal profile!
- Explore social channels and which ones work best for you. There are different audiences on each!
- Use scheduling tools built into Facebook and content management tools such as Hootsuite to put posts out in advance and manage your time more effectively.
- Find your tone. Be fun, be friendly and talk to other users!
- Have a consistent logo / branding across all of your channels.
- If you're thinking about setting up a small website, it's worth doing some research into SEO.
Lou and Sharon – Art and Fashion Workshop
Our Bexhill fashion tutor Lou got the students to make little concertina books that present a narrative through bold and colourful objects and key figures throughout history. A nice session to finish the day and allow students get in touch with their arts and crafts side.
Whilst our Brighton fashion tutor Sharon gave a talk about her experience working in the Fashion industry, designing clothes for TV shows and also about running her own tattooing business on the side that complements her Fashion and Art work and teaching.
Rich – Making money from music with a focus on sync and publishing
Events Management Tutor Rich took centre stage to deliver an insight into the world of sync publishing and making money from music. He shared his experience in selling the rights of songs to clients that want to use the music for adverts, films and other creative and marketing purposes. It can be a very satisfying rjob Rich explained. Sometimes he'd send a selection of tracks to clients and they'd pick something he wouldn't have expected them to and used it in a way he didn't it could be – that's the beauty of creativity!
How can you develop your sync profile? Network, nurture contacts over time, research and develop a commercial awareness. We consume music absolutely everywhere and someone somewhere will be getting paid for that play you hear!
We'd like to say a big thank you to all the tutors and guest speakers that played a part in making our Careers Day 2018 a huge success and we look forward to hosting the next!

On Monday in southern California, a fight broke out with one teen wounded and one baseball bat-wielding Good Samaritan ending up dead. All of this over a Nintendo DS.
According to KTLA News, a teenage boy arranged to meet four teens met at a local shopping center to sell a Nintendo DS. The four teens planned to rob the seller. A fight broke out, and one of the four teenagers drew a gun.
A man who apparently saw what was happening tried to break up the fight. As he approached with a baseball bat, the man, whom the police believe was a Good Samaritan, was shot in the torso.
The teen who was selling the DS tried to escape, but was shot in the leg. He was treated at a nearby hospital and released. The Good Samaritan, however, died while in medical care.
LA County Sheriff's deputies caught up with three of the suspects and arrested two of them. A remaining suspect is still at large.
The KTLA report explicitly mentions a Nintendo DS, but it could have been a 3DS.

Have you ever asked yourself who would you become if you ever did different choices ?
What we did, through what we passed, what others did to us ... these might be very small details but with very big consequences cause they make us who we are.
I asked myself some questions. And i was wondering who would I be if my life was different.
I then took some of possible responses and illustrated them.

Pvc Pipe Raised Garden Beds - When vegetables that are growing in raised garden beds utilizing the Square Foot Gardening approach, your beds will need to be sectioned off into one-foot sections called putting squares. A 4x8 foot garden bed will have 32 planting squares. Each putting square has an address used to spot the square.
While the methods for addressing vary, among the simplest would be to use letters for columns and numbers for rows, and also the square is identified by the mixture of the two. Numbering starts in the upper left corner and proceeds left to right, top to bottom. I have yet to locate a garden bed that is commercially available with an enclosed attribute for marking off putting squares.
I wish somebody would develop a Square Foot Gardening grid that you can add into a garden bed that is raised to mark off squares, but until that is available, should you intend to work with the Square Foot Gardening approach, you'll need to devise your own strategy for marking off squares. Step one is to compute the dimensions on the interior of the garden bed, that is width and the length that's really usable for planting.
The 4x8 foot garden beds I purchased, for example, are 4x8 feet from end to end. But when you join the boards at the corners, you lose a number of inches, hence the interior dimensions of the garden bed are really a few inches short of the advertised size. In my instance, my beds have an interior measurement of 46.25 inches x 94 inches. I refer to these dimensions as Useable Span for the rest of this post.

The service on the search of cheap air tickets in a spontaneous direction titled "Kuda Ugodno" (translated as "Anywhere") has been launched in Russia, as the PR-director of Aviasales tourism service Janis Dzenis told to the Interfax-Tourism web portal. "We noticed that not all travelers know where they want to fly, but they clearly understand that they want to meet certain dates or a specific amount of money. They are the target audience of the new service that will help to inspire people with interesting proposals and choose a country for their trip", as he said.
How to Buy Cheap Air Tickets to Russia
So that to search for airline tickets at "Kuda Ugodno" service by Aviasales, tourists should specify the departure date, the number of days of the trip and transfers, the type of visa, as well as choose the price range. Travelers will be offered tickets to different countries and cities, starting with the cheapest ones.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
File this under SMH.
A white student at Brigham Young University in Utah put together a video in which he dons himself in blackface makeup and interviews a series of students, asking them questions about Black History Month.
The video, which appears on YouTube and was made by Brigham Young student Dave Ackerman, makes clear that few students — either Black or white — seem to know anything about Black history, including what month it is celebrated and more than one historical figure.
When asked what month Black history is celebrated, few knew that it was February. When asked to name some important figures in Black history, most answered with the name Martin Luther King. Some responded naming Malcolm X.
But when asked about the contributions of Malcolm X, there was a litany of inaccurate information. "Wasn't he the head of the Black Panthers?" one student asked. Another simply said, "He was, like, bad."
When asked how they celebrated Black History Month, one white student stated: "Usually, what we do is we love our fried chicken and we go with some grape juice."
At one point, Ackerman asks a series of students: "Do you think a Black guy has an advantage when it comes to dating over a white guy?" One white student responded, "I can think of some girls who have jungle fever."

Blinked - Social Media Platform For Recommendations
Blinked is the world's first blockchain-based social media platform for recommendations that drives up to 90 percent of advertising revenue to users. With more than 13,000 subscribers and growing, it's a new way to do social and earn.

|White Paper
Blinked was founded by J. Benlevi-Little, who brings more than ten years of digital media experience in the recommendation space. The inspiration for Blinked came after a successful exit from JULIB.com, a platform that distributed recommendations in sixteen cities worldwide and became the second largest recommendation platform in the U.S. at that time. Benlevi-Little realized that the world was saturated with recommendations, and it was time to create a hub that housed them all.
After struggling with reading reviews from unknown users on Yelp, Blinked was created to improve the way users find recommendations by enabling them to choose whom it follows; functionality similar to other social media networks. Blinked currently has 13,000 active users acquired in stealth mode while in development and with minimal marketing.
There are more than a quarter-million recommendations on Blinked today, in categories such as Food & Drink, Fitness, Travel, Entertainment, Sports, Television, Fashion, Beauty and many more. It takes as long to post a recommendation on Blinked as it does to post anything on any widely-used social media platforms.
Using proprietary Blinked technology, users simply enter the name of their recommendation and then other data (address, website, images, etc.) automatically populates. The Blinked team includes both influencers and investors such as Prince Amukamara (Chicago Bears) John Brenkus (ESPN), and Yoenis Cespedes (New York Mets).

Climbing trees with spikes on your feet is horrible for your trees.
Why? Well, the damage that spikes caused within the bark open up the trees cambium layer for disease an infestation of bugs, mold, and disease pathogens to enter into the tree.
Many tree services claim that it does not hurt a tree to climb with spikes on.
The only reason that an educated tree service provider would recommend to spike a tree that they are not planning on removing would be because it makes the job go by faster.
Climbing SpikeFree is more difficult because it requires setting of ropes and a different style of climbing that a lot of tree climbers are not used to.
The style of climbing takes years of practice, a lot more balanced, and a lot more energy.
It's typically slower than using spikes and therefore the good salesman of on ethical tree service is will convince clients that it will not harm the tree.
Again, do not believe them.
It just does not pass the commonsense test. If you were going to have your body operated on, would it make sense to have the doctor climb all over you with spikes on his feet prior to operating on you? Of course not that would cause more damage that your body would have to heal.
Trees have enough stacked against them in the urban forest environment.
Do yourself a favor and hire an ISA certified arborist. ISA certified arborist have gone through training and understand what is necessary to promote and help your tree stay healthy within the urban forest environment.
Does climbing a tree with spikes hurt the tree

The United Kingdom has voted in favor of a referendum to leave the European Union. June 23rd, 2016 will most likely be remembered as the UK's new independence day. The British Pound has dropped in value to a low that has not been seen since the 1980's. The significance of the "Brexit" will have long term impacts on the United Kingdom and the world.
Many supporters of the "Brexit" movement believe that the shift will send the country to a place of new individuality and conservatism. The Margret Thatcher period is approaching quickly, and this revival of individuality will most definitely leave long term impacts on the globe. The world is looking to the UK as the fifth largest global economy, as it asserts a powerful statement. Many estimate that a "Frexit" could happen soon, in which France exits the EU. With the UK out, many smaller nations may take heed to this new precedent. EU leaders will struggle to contain an already frustrated constituency of member nations, while the UK will revive its presence on the world stage.
The United States may also find renewed economic independence after this powerful move by the UK. Conservatism has taken root throughout communities across the globe, the fruits of the movement are now starting to show. While economists will be wary for the first few weeks, ultimately the economic situation will balance. "Brexit" supporters are quick to state that the shift is not a shift to a less global economy, but rather a political shift to an independent Britain. As economists come to terms with the recent events, it will be interesting to see how US politicians react. Trump will most likely capitalize on the referendum, while Hillary will react with disdain. While uncertainty remains on the minds of world leaders, Thatcher is dancing in heaven. The right is rising throughout the globe, as extremism grows and fears become reality.

Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Lie back and think of England…
England, 1904. Two years ago, Captain Archie Curtis lost his friends, three fingers, and future to a terrible military accident in Africa. Was it only an accident, though? Alone, purposeless and angry, Curtis is determined to discover if he and his comrades were the victims of fate, or of sabotage.
Curtis's search takes him to an isolated, ultra-modern country house, where he meets and instantly clashes with fellow guest Daniel da Silva. Effete, decadent, foreign, and all-too-obviously queer, the sophisticated poet is everything the straightforward British officer fears and distrusts. Still the opposites attract, right?
As events unfold, Curtis realizes that Daniel has his own secret intentions. And there's something else they share—a mounting sexual tension that leaves Curtis reeling. As the house party's elegant facade cracks to reveal treachery, blackmail and murder, Curtis finds himself needing clever, dark-eyed Daniel as he has never needed a man before…
Warning: Contains explicit male/male encounters, ghastly historical attitudes, and some extremely stiff upper lips.
What I liked:
The sense of humour. Some scenes between both protagonists were simply too funny not to quote them. Here is one: Archie Curtis stumbles in the dark and falls on da Silva.
''Jesus!'' he yelped.
''I fear not,'' said a silky voice, and Curtis realized that he had collided with da Silva. ''Both Jewish, of course, but the resemblance ends there.''
It went only better. The relative straightforwardness of Archie and effeminate intellectualism of Daniel were a powerful mix, able to carry even a far weaker story. And this story was far from weak.
Yes, the novel had an actual plot which, surprise, surprise was equally important if not more important that the m/m romance itself, go figure. It was nothing less than a proper historical fiction book, mentioning correctly such events as the Boer Wars in Africa, not a romp masquerading as 'his-fic' just to throw in some obnoxiously rich dukes, viscounts and whatsnots. There were multiple chapters or scenes in which da Silva was not even present or, if he was, the scenes in question didn't focus on him. I admit I was impressed.
The author possesses uniquely beautiful writing style, definitely created for historical fiction or fantasy. Words seem to come so naturally to her and she always takes in consideration the context and the period she is writing about.
Finally the author made me a really happy reader featuring two very likeable and intelligent females beside a horrible one. Pat and Fen added to the story a lot as they defied so many cliches!
What I didn't like:
The secondary characters looked like accessories or necessity to further the narration alone. As much as I enjoyed every single scene featuring Archie and Daniel, I love shadowy baddies and those presented in this book were simply too forgettable for my taste. Pity.
My last carping: this novel definitely has a huge series potential. I rarely say that but I would really love to read a sequel. Or even a third part. Or the fourth. Pretty please.
Final verdict:
A captivating writing style, a bit dark and angsty m/m romance, great sense of humour, an interesting plot, good enough atmosphere to never question the historicity of the novel – these are huge advantages of Think of England. I recommend it wholeheartedly if you like murder mysteries set in the English countryside at the beginning of the 20th century and m/m pairing doesn't offend your sensibilities too much.

As the girls are still growing their new feathers I thought a protein treat of fish would be good for them.
It's easier to get a group shot now there are only seven girls. The girls have been having tylan in the water for two and a half weeks now. I am going to keep them on it for three weeks as Salmon still has a slight wheeze although it has improved.
It concerns me that it is taking so long for Salmon to stop wheezing altogether and I worry that I may still lose her yet. Apart from the wheeze she looks normal and is active, doing all the usual chicken things and eating well.
I dread the thought of losing any more girls but there is nothing else I can do for them. I just have to hope that Salmon can shake this off. I am keeping everything crossed.

Visitors to Newcastle Airport during the festive season will be greeted with a myriad of colour and sparkle, thanks to the creativity of local schools that have adorned the terminal walls with decorated Christmas banners.
For the past three years, Newcastle Airport has invited schools taking part in its School Program to let their imaginations go wild and decorate large, blank canvases with depictions of Christmas at an airport. The banners are now on display throughout the Airport terminal.
Newcastle Airport CEO, Paul Hughes, commended the efforts of all the students and thanked the teachers for their assistance.
"The students who assisted with the Christmas banner project have, this year, participated in our successful Schools Program, which offers a unique, behind-the-scenes tour of the Airport.
"Newcastle Airport is proud to work with local schools in offering students a unique learning experience through the Schools Program and Christmas banner project," said Paul.
In 2009 more than 3,000 students visited Newcastle Airport as part of the Schools Program, with the Program expected to continue to grow in 2010.
"Newcastle Airport is committed to supporting the community that it operates within, and the Christmas banners provide a friendly welcome to the more than 100,000 visitors we expect to pass through the Airport terminal during the busy holiday season," concluded Paul.
Students from Gillieston Heights Public School, Holy Family School Merewether, Elermore Vale Public School, Medowie Public School, Macquarie College, Stockton Public School, Mayfield West Public School, Charlestown East Public School, Waratah West Public School, St Josephs School Charlestown, Warners Bay Public School, Soldiers Point Public School, Bolwarra Public School, Belmont Christian College and Hunter River Community School contributed to the project.
