China is determined to become a larger player in the pharmaceutical market, and offering more opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
In terms of cross-border collaboration in the pharmaceutical business, Dr. Francis Tse, CSO of Laboratory Testing Division at WuXi AppTec, said collaboration between the West and emerging markets, specifically China and India, are most noteworthy. "China is determined to be a major player," said Tse, noting the country's new set of drug approval policies. The Chinese government and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) are starting an advisory committee, following an American example, Tse explained. China was also acknowledged as a regulatory member of the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in June of 2017.
In every way, it shows signs that China is determined to become a bigger player, he said, and WuXi AppTec hopes to become the world's largest platform for drug research and development. WuXi AppTec is determined to fulfill their dream, which is, that every drug can be made and every disease can be treated.
WuXi AppTec led a panel discussion at this year's American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) annual meeting, in San Diego. WuXi AppTec's IND (WIND) Program team and their collaborating partners discussed the following three topics
- China's emerging biopharmaceutical market
- A regulatory rule change and investment paradigm shift of drug development in China
- WuXi AppTec's comprehensive drug development platform embracing the unprecedented opportunities
Is China the biggest emerging market for drug development?
In the last several years, the panelist witnessed the unprecedented, rapid growth of drug development in China. Dr. Tse, informed the attendees that China is emerging as the second largest biopharmaceutical market in the last decade and is believed to become the largest market in the near future if the growth rate continues. From another viewpoint, Dr. Harri Jarvelainen, an independent consultant who moved to China in 2012, has witnessed the rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry and he is impressed. He also claims that in the years to come, China will become the biggest market for clinical trials because of the CFDA regulation reform and the size of the Chinese patient population. "Just in a few years, there will be more opportunities for collaborating with China and the rest of the world," he explained. Dr. Jarvelainen stressed that the relatively lower costs and higher quality of the preclinical studies are attracting many western clients to place orders with Chinese Contract Research Organizations (CROs). Another panelist Dr. Eugene Gong, VP & Head of Laboratory Testing Division Technology Operations and Analytical & Regulatory CMC at WuXi AppTec, claims that he has witnessed fundamental changes in the Chinese biopharmaceutical industry. He states that more and more international big pharma and most recently, even more small startup companies are coming to China for their research and development collaboration and market access.
What is going on with the regulatory rule change and investment paradigm shift of drug development in China?
The CFDA regulation reform and alignment with the FDA polices for drug approval will benefit the foreign pharmaceutical and biotech companies, Dr. Tse explained. Additionally, China's admission to the ICH as a full regulatory member will prepare the CMC and clinical trial data harmonization for the "China-for-Global" strategy. Dr. Feng Tian, CSO at Ambrx, a client of WuXi AppTec, elaborated that his company is a great example of exploring the China market through cross-border collaboration with WuXi AppTec. The collaboration with a local pharmaceutical company incentivized Ambrx, an innovative biotech company residing in La Jolla, CA, to facilitate its ADC pipeline development from laboratory bench to clinical bedside. Dr. Jarvalainen also mentioned that regulatory compliance used to be a major concern for foreign clients when placing studies in China. However, in the last several years, the hurdle is largely overcome by collective efforts such as the CFDA regulation reform, heavy investment on facilities and processes, and the growing pool of industry expertise.
How do you find out more about WuXi AppTec's comprehensive drug development platform that is embracing the unprecedented opportunities?
WuXi AppTec has led the efforts to change China's drug research, development and manufacturing since its establishment in Shanghai more than 17 years ago, Dr. Gong explained. It is noteworthy to mention that WuXi built the first global compliant GMP manufacturing facilities and first internationally recognized GLP laboratory in China. The integrated WIND program was established based on many years of experience and process streamlining. Dr. Tian emphasized that WuXi AppTec has the capabilities through the entire research and development pathway, and has helped Ambrx and its business partners, to develop one of their leading ADC programs from research material generation to preclinical IND enabling studies and to Clinical Trial Permit (CTP) in China. The three-party collaboration led to an early success of Ambrx's ADC drug development, both technically and financially. By embracing international collaboration, WuXi AppTec is building the world's largest research and development platform for drug developers at all levels, from big pharma to virtual startups. Regarding the recent efforts on preclinical service integration, WIND is a good example of its overall strategy, said Dr. Tse.
The drug development landscape is continuing to evolve from an all inclusive, in house model to a more flexible outsourcing strategy. The increasing complexity of drug development and research, demands more creative and efficient services from a CRO and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO). WuXi AppTec has built their platform to cover the entire spectrum of the drug development process. WIND is an integrated platform serving as a one-stop-shop and solution provider for those small and virtual startup companies as well as for larger companies. WuXi AppTec has the capacity, knowledge and experience to collaborate with companies and complete a successful IND filing.

Access to justice is the constitutional commitment of Bangladesh and this commitment is implemented in Bangladesh through one major important constitutional organ, which is judiciary in Bangladesh. For last one decade, this constitutional commitment is reflected through different activities of Bangladesh Govt. in order to overcome the challenges to ensure justice for mass people; one of these significant initiatives is to take e-judiciary project for Bangladesh Judiciary. In the last decade, the Govt. is trying to build up digital network in the judiciary so that more transparency can be ensured. Now, the judicial administration is under digital network.
All the people in Bangladesh, including all the judges and the other stockholders have the access to this digital network. Now, we have strong website of Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, (http: //www.lawjusticediv.gov.bd) through which all the judges of Bangladesh Judicial service can get the information of transfer, posting, proceeding, Govt. Order. Through one click they can see the update information. Through one click, all the mass people and the judges have the access to all the laws of Bangladesh.Besides this, Bangladesh Supreme Court has also another websitehttp (//www.supremecourt.gov.bd/web/) where all the people of Bangladesh can see the cause list, case number of the litigant people and the decision in their cases. Moreover in order to stop the harassment of the mass people, online bail confirmation system is implemented. Now there is no chance to present false documents in the trial court regarding the order of High Court Division or Appellate Division of Bangladesh Supreme Court. The trial courts in Bangladesh have the option to verify the order of Higher Court. So, through this system, more transparency and accountability can be ensured for all the litigant people.
Moreover, the Govt. of Bangladesh has adopted the policy to build up the digital network among all the courts in Bangladesh. As a part of it, the Govt. of Bangladesh has already supplied and distributed laptop to all the judicial officers in Bangladesh judicial service. Beyond this depiction, The Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs
Ministry has taken a Tk 2,210 crore project aiming to introduce e-judiciary in the country whose object includes the development of enterprise architecture for the judiciary, development of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, establishment of virtual private network (VPN) for all the offices under judicial system, up gradation of data centre of law and justice division, up gradation of data centre of the Supreme Court and establishment of network operation centre, transformation of a total of 1,400 courtrooms across 64 districts into e-courtrooms and under the project, 63 micro data centres will be set up in 63 districts, interconnection between data centres of law and justice division and Supreme Court will be established.
So, we can expect that this proposed project could create a bridge between the mass people and the court. It can be expected that if this project for e-judiciary is implemented, no litigant people will have to wait for the upgrade information about his case. No person will have to stay unaware about the upcoming date of the case. No person will have to go to the courtroom or to the chamber of the lawyer for getting information about the result of the case.
It is true that we have limitations, both physical and psychological. We have the limitation of trained manpower. In the implementation of the e-judiciary project, we will have to face new challenges. But we can expect that a proper integrated coherent approach towards e-judiciary can lead us ahead for successful implementation of the project. Undoubtedly, the allotted money for this project is public money or mostly the money of our poor people. So, cautiously we will have to use this money so that maximum result can be gained through this project.
In the last decade, we have the experience of different pilot projects regarding e-judiciary. In implementation of this upcoming project, we can use our experience so that this project can be smoothly implemented. Undeniably, we are now living in the age of transformation. This generation has the experience of two centuries. We have the opportunity to see both analogue and digital Bangladesh. Both in urban and rural area, it is rear to find a person who don't use face book or Internet. It is rear to find a baby in both urban and rural area who doesn't see videos in YouTube during their taking food. So, it can be easily presumed that our social fabric will not be a challenge to implement this project. To my thinking, one of the major challenges to implement this project will be the interested group who wants to earn from people, leaving them in the darkness of court related information. They are neither the lawyers nor the clerks. So, this is not possible only for the govt. to implement this project successfully. All the stakeholders will have to be cordial to implement this initiative of Govt. so that our transformation to digital Bangladesh as well as digital judiciary becomes more easy and smooth through which access to justice for all the mass people can be ensured.

I had one of those days yesterday! As rare as crows' teeth it was! And I just loved it. I watched an entire season of Nikita and 'het myself amper seer gele! With my puppies, Bubbles and Feenix installed at my feet and Tino-the-claw-Tripepi, plonked triumphantly on top of my tummy like a plump cherry on the top of a cupcake. Hubby was having a day with 'the boys' at the races and I was home alone. It's a rare occasion indeed when I have the entire house to myself. My time, my music, my TV, my, my and victory of all victories, my remote!
My girlfriend Karen and I are planning a trip to Morocco later this year. We plan to visit Marrakesh, Fez and Casablanca. I remember seeing Shirley Temple in a movie as a little girl. Shirley was all dressed up in a sequined frilly number that I would have given my left eye for and she was in this place called Marrakesh! The combination of the sparkly dress and the name Marrakesh was so incredibly exotic to my little ears that I vowed to visit this place one day. And who of us bloggers was not moved by 'Mint Tea and Tagine's" incredible photographs entitled Wordless Wednesdays, taken all over Morocco. Perhaps this is the year.
I am a great believer in positive visualisation and such, so I am going to be cooking some Moroccan dishes to get me there. I am aware of their Egyptian origins but chose to kick my Moroccan cooking off with some Falafel. I looked this recipe up on the internet, and kind of condensed three different recipes into one. One piece of useless trivia I picked up along the way is that, McDonald's, Egypt sells the McFalafel, a falafel sandwich which gives us some idea of just how popular these spicy little balls are in the Middle East.
Makes 16
1 tin of chick peas
1 large onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
3Tbs chopped fresh coriander
2tsp ground coriander
2tsp ground cumin
½ cup flour
2tsp salt
Pepper – to taste
Chilli – finely chopped …. Put in as much as you like.
You could add other herbs or fillings such as parsley, basil or some fried brinjal or
mushrooms for a little variety.
Drain the chick peas, place in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 5 minutes and then reduce to a simmer for an hour. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
Fry the onion and garlic gently for five minutes to soften.
Combine the chickpeas, fried onion and garlic, coriander, cumin, chopped chilli and coriander, salt and pepper in your food processor – pulse until all of these have combined. Add the half a cup of flour and pulse in. You are looking for a mixture that can be rolled into golf sized balls.
You can crumb them if you like but it's not absolutely necessary. Fry them in batches until they are golden brown in hot oil for two minutes and drain on kitchen paper.
It's always a good idea to refrigerate anything you are going to fry for 20 minutes. This ensures that your Falafel
won't break up during the frying process.
Serving Suggestion
Serve in a roti, wrap or Rice wrapper with your favourite selection of crunchy salad, some hummus, chopped fresh herbs such as coriander or basil and a teaspoon or two of tahini. These falafels are so jam packed full of flavour that no one will notice there is no meat in the
meal so it's an idea Meat Free dish that will keep the whole family happy.
As always
Buon Appetito

When your baby is inside you, you hear a lot about motherhood from your mom, from your friends, other women in your life who are moms and a lot even from those who are not! And after the baby pops out you realise that all of that information or the perception you have made of motherhood is a big LIE!!!! It is undoubtedly the most beautiful experience of life but it has it's own fifty other shades too. I'd say it takes time to get into the skin of a mom and the first year of your life as a mom is unforgettable.
Motherhood has been the most euphoric yet the most daunting experience for me and I witness this paradox get even more complex as my baby and his mom grow each passing day. Like they say – the moment a baby is born, a mother is born. A mother that never existed before, the woman did, but the mother did not, she is absolutely new.
Motherhood changes you. Painfully, and beautifully, it changes you. I could be a smoother version of myself, less sleep-deprived, better dressed; my list of worries could begin and end only with me. But I'm at the mercy of motherhood!
I have discovered strengths I did not even know existed. So yes motherhood changed me and how! Would I like to get back to my older self – NEVER!
Here are a 50 things that have changed about me:
#1 I am a lot more patient (if you are a mom, you know what I am talking about)
#2 I am stronger – The strength I can sense, resides within me, and that is not confined to Just my body but extends to my mind and soul.
#3 I am thicker – around 10 kilograms more than what I use to be
#4 Yet I now respect my body… finally
#5 I sleep a lot less – when my toddler finally hits the sack I'd rather write this post
#6 I do better research than FBI
#7 I analyse Baby poop and it's colour and texture

#9 I can hold my pee for until I forget that I actually wanted to pee
#10 I am a lot more confident than I was – about myself and about my loved ones.
#11 I am a lot, lot less judgemental about other moms or even women for that matter. There isn't any right or wrong. Or atleast I am no one to judge that.
#12 I can do almost anything and everything with a baby spilling out of one arm
#13 I am a lot more independent. There ain't a thing I cannot do myself for myself or my family
#14 I wear my heart on my sleeves
#15 and I watch it run around me
#16 I cry a lot more
#17 yet gather myself and get back to my strong woman avtaar much sooner
#18 My baby's pain feels much much worse than my own
#19 I respect my parents a lot more, I love them in a new way
#20 I also love my husband a lot more
#21 I go without speaking to my besties for months
#22 my most interesting phone conversations don't last longer than 3 minutes
#23 I choose cute minion shirts and colourful toys over the shoes I have been longing to have.
#24 I consider taking a shower a luxury
#25 I am never alone
#26 not the never alone in my thoughts kind of alone – but not never alone, even when I pee kind of alone
#27 Every day is a surprise
#28 I want to make this world a better place – really I do
#29 Yet I appreciate the world the way it is a lot more
#30 I have figured out the real reason why breasts exist.
#31 I care a lot less about my sagging breasts
#32 I have stopped watching television
#33 I don't like watching news either, because I watch it from a mom's perspective and it breaks my heart
#34 I have my own logic and reasoning
#35 I never quit.. I could tremble but quitting is not an option anymore
#36 Nothing is just mine, I share everything, even my favourite mint Icecream.
#37 I barely get time for myself
#38 but I make sure I take care of myself
#39 I have realised that material wealth can never buy true joy
#40 I don't rely on a clock
#41 my schedules are set by my baby
#42 I have started to believe in things I use to believe as a child
#43 I now know what magic and miracles are
#44 Any number of hugs and kisses are never enough
#45 I now have a clearer vision of what I want
#46 And I am still up for surprises
#47 I know what 'balancing' and 'multi-tasking' really means.
#48 I feel like a hero among my friends who are not moms
#49 I can be a total mess and still have faith that I am going to be okay in a while
#50 I Love like never before, almost like it's a superhuman power I possess❤

the development of appropriate
treatments from our government
and pharmaceutical companies. This
indeed is true, and ACT UP was very
successful in changing the manner in
which medications of all sorts are now
developed. But I think the organization
served another very important role
— it enhanced the social cohesion
and social capital of those who were
involved. People came together and
built this community. And we know
from the literature that higher levels of
social capital are related to better health
This speaks to me of the struggles
these men face as they age and in light
of effective HIV treatments — where
is that community? Of course, much
of their community was completely
devastated at the time. Now, 30 years
later, the attention to the epidemic is
not the same — services aren't the same,
and certainly nobody is putting together
groups of older gay men to talk about
their lives.
I have a story for you. On May 9, a set of
us in New York — academics, medical
doctors, activists — came together
and organized a community forum
called "Is This My Beautiful Life?"
We wanted people of our generation
— men, women, HIV-positive, HIV-negative, across every race, ethnicity,
borough, whatever — to come and just
be together.
I moderated this event. Firstthere was a panel that lasted about40 minutes. Then for the next twohours, lines and lines of people cameup to an open mic to tell their stories.For so many of them, this was theirfirst opportunity to come togetherin a public gathering and talk abouttheir experiences of survival and loss(see a You Tube clip of the event'shighlights at www.youtube.com/watch?v=wakvKuF9EYsA).
That event has created some media
momentum. But do I think there will
be an outpouring of money from the
government, which has no money
to provide to agencies that provide
services? Not really. But like in the
early days of the epidemic when people
banded together and created their own
agencies and groups, I think that's
beginning to happen again. At least I
hope it is.
Early in the book, I talk about the fact
that the lessons gleaned from these men
can inform not only future generations
who must live with this disease,
but anyone who's combating a life-threatening illness.
Not to sound Dr. Phil-ish, but in
chapter 6, I list 10 things that we can
learn from their experiences, and
it's very similar to what successful
cancer patients do. They created social
networks, they got their support, they
took care of their emotional lives, they
weren't afraid to take risks to improve
their health, they talked about their
disease — they didn't bottle it up. At the
same time, they didn't define themselves
solely by their disease.
In what other ways has your
background as a psychologist
and public health expert shaped
your understanding of the AIDS
crisis and the people who lived
through it?
So much of my career is informed
by [George L.] Engel's 1977 Science
article about the importance of a
biopsychosocial model. That has
completely influenced the way I
approached all my work, which is to
say that people's strategies for survival,
success and resilience deal with all
domains of human existence, not just
the medical or physical domain.
I refuse to believe that this disease
is simply a biomedical condition. It is
a biopsychosocial condition. Anyone
who chooses to believe that a bunch of
medications alone is going to solve this
problem is out of their mind.
As a writer, and as someone who lived
through what I was writing about, I became part of the book, in a sense. Now I
have this camaraderie, not only with the
men I interviewed, but with a much larger
group of men I had the privilege of meeting and talking to over the last few months.
We've created a new Band of Brothers.
As I mentioned, when you think about
50-year-olds, you think about their legacy
and their generativity. These men are still
forming their legacies. But it's pretty clear
to me that a big part of that legacy is how
they survived this despicable disease with
dignity and grace. n

Poet, musician, computer analyst, and mystic Francis Knoll, in his second collection of poetry, considers the perspective of our modern age, which is facing a stressed and dying world, while also embracing the hope and realization of another hidden destiny.
Through more than forty poems, Piercing through the Silent Veil takes a close look at our apparent world and the thin veil that separates us from a heightened vision and experience of reality. Cognizant of an eventual death, the verses examine life, with its many contradictions and failings, seeking to extract a meaningful and real existence. With a sense of destiny and higher purpose, these poems intertwine the frailty and problems of human life while struggling toward an inner silence and a separate parallel universe of presence. This poetry offers a lyric, metered, and accessible style, alluring with the hope of transporting the reader to a new state of being with a direction that leads one beyond the apparent and static world of forms.
Written from the unique viewpoint, this poetry collection explores the world of appearances, forces, and eventual death, considering another reality defined by spiritual existence.

Packing LightWoman in the Middle | November 16, 2014
I have mentioned before, I like to pack lightly when I go on vacation. I really really dislike having to wrestle a bunch of stuff around when I am on a trip. It takes some of the joy out of travel for me. This is particularly true if I am traveling on an airplane. I also despise the new norm in air travel which requires payment for a checked bag. If all four of us are traveling, it means another $200 round trip out of my pocket just to check luggage which could be spent doing something fun on vacation instead.
On our recent 5 night, 6 day trip to Portland and Seattle, all four of us took one carry on each. We included enough clothing, shoes, and such to get us though as well as presents for three friends. Most people I mention this to are a little surprised. This is how I do it:
1. I don't worry about looking beautiful on vacation. I do not take blow dryers, curling irons, or flat irons. I take a brush. Hubby takes a comb.
2. Traveling in summer helps. In the winter it is more difficult to pull it off. If it is spring or fall, I wear the jacket I am taking onto the plane.
3. I do not travel to jungles or other wild places. I am in cities and can buy anything I need that I forgot or suddenly need to have.
4. I assume every pair of pants or shorts can be worn twice, three times in an emergency.
5. Rolling clothes instead of folding them makes much more room in my bag.
6. Most hotels provide shampoo and soap so I don't bring much of those two items.
7. We take casual vacations. What I wear during the day works for night as well. I do not feel the need to take many things that are for "just in case."
8. If I do take a dress, I have a few already that are lightweight and do not take up much room.
9. I maximize my use of the airline's "one carry on and a personal item" rule. My "personal item" is usually a decent size bag, but one that will fit under the seat in front of me.
10. I would prefer not to have to do laundry while I am gone, but I really dislike having to carry around a bunch of stuff. So, if necessary, I will do laundry if it means I have less junk to carry.
11. The one thing I do not skimp on is shoes. Happy feet are a must for vacation. If that means two extra pairs of shoes, I will find room for them. Hubby wears nothing but his Reeboks every day anyway so it is the same on vacation. He just takes the one pair and they are on his feet, not in a suitcase.
I joke that I am working towards going on vacation will little more than a toothbrush and an extra pair of underwear. Well, I am half joking, actually. If airlines decide to charge for carry on bags, I may be forced to do just that!
That is how we travel for up to a week with one carry on each. I realize that this style of travel isn't for everyone, but for those of you who may wish to travel lightly, I thought I would share what I do.

Adhering to the principles below will support staff in the provision of good care for people in the last days and hours of life. The principles highlight essential areas of care for teams to address when caring for dying people and those close to them.
For each of the four principles, this document provides a rationale explaining why it is important, and gives examples (but not a definitive list) of some steps that can be taken to facilitate good care in the last days and hours of life.
Principle 1: Informative, timely and sensitive communication is an essential component of each individual person's care.
Sensitive communication must take place with the person (where possible), family, any welfare attorney and those close to the person. This communication should include the person's condition, expectations relating to how their condition is likely to change, the wishes of the person and their family including preferred place of death, and agreed goals[ii] for the care that will be provided. This communication must acknowledge any uncertainties that may be involved in predicting what is likely to happen and should reassure families that regular review will form a core part of the care provided. Significant changes in the person's condition should be communicated as quickly as possible. Communication between staff about the person's changing condition and management plan at any transition or handover of care between teams is essential.
When someone is unwell, those close to that person will want to know what is happening - so they can provide appropriate help and support to that person and to others affected by the person's illness, and so they can prepare for what is likely to happen next. Professionals caring for the person will want to find out about the person's wishes and preferences from those close to the person if the person is no longer able to communicate about these. Good communication between health and social care professionals is key to ensuring that any changes to a person's condition are recognised and responded to by the staff with current responsibility for the person's care.
Examples of steps that should be taken and documented to support principle 1:
- Sensitive conversations should be undertaken with the person (where possible) and family that include psychological support, and capturing the person's and family wishes, including preferred place of death. These must include a sensitive and informative explanation about the individual person's needs relating to artificial nutrition/fluids (by drip or feeding tube) as they approach the end of their life, and how these will be addressed. This is distinct from food and drinks which the person will be supported to take as able and wanted. (See also section 2.1).
- The person (where possible) and family should know who is the lead clinician responsible for the person's care. This should be a named person at senior level.
- The family should be made aware of arrangements for contacting the team providing care.
- A clear and structured approach should be used in any communication between teams if the person is transferred from one place of care to another. The Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR) communication tool[iii] is one example of such an approach.
Principle 2: Significant decisions about a person's care, including diagnosing dying, are made on the basis of multi-disciplinary discussion.
Agreement that a person's death is expected within hours to days must be based on a multi-disciplinary discussion about the person's condition which recognises that diagnosing dying involves an element of uncertainty. Responsibility for decisions reached is carried by the senior clinician responsible for the care of the person.
Diagnosing dying can be highly complex, and the perspectives of the different professionals involved in the person's care are essential to ensure that a person is accurately identified as being in the last days to hours of their life. Making this diagnosis will result in not continuing any medical interventions that are inappropriate. The circumstances, care needs and wishes of each individual person need to be considered in deciding which interventions are inappropriate. This consideration should include the balance of burden and benefit to the person of each intervention and the contribution of each intervention to the overall goals of care. The focus of care will shift towards interventions that keep the person comfortable. Identifying that a person may be in the last days to hours of life also allows the team to focus on any preferred place of death identified by the person and begin rapid plans to achieve this aim if appropriate and possible. Team discussion enables all members of the team to understand the reasons for the change in focus of care, and to sensitively and informatively communicate this to the family. It is also essential that all members of the team recognise that diagnosing dying involves an element of uncertainty, so regular ongoing monitoring of a person's changing condition and needs should continue.
Examples of steps that should be taken and documented to support principle 2:
- A plan for managing the person's condition should be made. This should include a record of decisions made by the multi-disciplinary team, including explanation of reasons for a diagnosis of dying, and any decisions to stop or not begin medical interventions which are considered to be of no benefit to the person.
Principle 3: Each individual person's physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs are recognised and addressed as far as is possible.
People who are dying must be cared for with respect and dignity with their needs anticipated and managed by competent staff. Symptom management is a priority for staff when caring for a dying person and there should be ongoing assessment, review and care planning relating to a person's needs in the four domains - physical, psychological, social and spiritual.
The needs of the person must always be the prime consideration when planning and providing care, and this applies equally to the last days and hours of life as to other times:
'You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.' Dame Cicely Saunders, Founder of the Modern Hospice Movement.
People have more needs than their physical needs.
Examples of steps that should be taken and documented to support principle 3:
- Agreed individualised goals of care should be documented and reviewed at least daily.
- The person's preferred place of care should be identified and achieved if possible.
- The outcome of any ward round or multi-disciplinary discussion should be clearly documented in the case record.
- Key symptoms such as: pain; agitation; breathlessness; nausea & vomiting; and respiratory tract secretions, should be assessed and any intervention documented in the case record.
- When symptoms are not controlled and are resistant to interventions then help should be sought from specialist palliative care.
- Individual assessment regarding nutrition/fluids should be clearly documented (see also section 2.1 of this document).
- The outcome of any intervention, and of any subsequent action should the intervention fail to meet a person's needs, should be clearly documented in the case record.
- The resuscitation status of the person should be reviewed, so that it is clear what should happen when death / cardiac arrest occurs (see national Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) policy). For a person who is recognised to be imminently dying in days or hours, an explicit discussion about the fact that cardiopulmonary resuscitation will not be attempted when their heart stops may risk causing unnecessary distress to them and/or their family and can seem inappropriate and irrelevant to them. Communication should focus on ensuring that the family are aware that death is expected in days or hours and that even when a person is in their last days, death can sometimes happen more suddenly than expected. Families should be reassured that whether the death happens gradually and predictably or with a very sudden deterioration the person's comfort and dignity will be the priorities. They should know that staff will communicate to ensure that the right care happens and that unhelpful or potentially harmful treatment is avoided whenever the person dies.
- Flexible visiting should be made available to the person's family and friends.
- Any outstanding psychological and social issues causing distress for the person and their family should be identified and addressed where possible.
- The person's religious and/or spiritual needs must be identified and contact made with relevant individuals who may be in a position to support the person and family if they wish.
- The person should be treated with respect and dignity whilst last offices are undertaken (where relevant).
Principle 4: Consideration is given to the wellbeing of relatives or carers attending the person.
It is important to recognise that the last days and hours of a loved one's life will be a distressing time for family members and others who are close to the person. Staff should recognise and respect this, both before and after a person has died, and support families accordingly.
Bereavement care is an integral part of good care, and is relevant both before and following the death of a person. Lasting memories of what happened around the time of death can stay with those who have been bereaved for many years and can support or hinder them in their adjustment to the death. Preparing people to face the approaching death of a loved one will help them to cope after the death has occurred. When a person dies, the care does not end and that continuing duty of care should be recognised. Practical advice and support is also important in this process.[iv]
Examples of steps that should be taken and documented to support principle 4:
- Staff should listen and respond to worries and fears.
- Supportive conversations with relatives and/or carers before and after the death of the person should take place, and information provided explaining the next steps.
- What is written on the death certificate should be explained when it is given to the family, answering any questions and checking for understanding.
- Bereavement information packs should be provided.

These ideas have been passed and are being worked on by Undeb Bangor
Passed ideas become democratic policies of Undeb Bangor. Depending on the idea they may become policies that ensure Undeb Bangor; takes a certain stance on an issue; holds a certain position, belief or value; has a commitment to do things in a certain way; or a mandate to campaign or take action on a particular issue.
The student's union should have satellite navigation units that are available for students to borrow with a student union vehicle.
It would be ideal for drivers who would be required to drive to unfamiliar distant locations.
Having a portable sattelite navigation unit is useful as many of the locations around bangor are unfamiliar with me, especially as a volunteer driver. None of the SU vehicles have in built satellite navigation units.

Town Hall, Birmingham – until 15 April 2017
Then touring
The Scarecrows' Wedding is one of Julia Donaldson's popular children's stories, with engaging characters, it's bags of fun and takes the reader on a quest for the best wedding yet. There are pros and cons to the stage version by Scamp Theatre, musically it's a strong production but visually it lacked the stimuli to hold my toddler's attention and the same could be said for fellow pre-school theatre-goers sitting in the stalls.
The concept of the story is a touching one, and incorporates many quirky characters which capture the imagination. This piece is performed as a three-hander with Joanna Brown playing Betty the scarecrow, Sam Heron playing Harry the scarecrow, these scarecrows love each other and they decide to get married. They make a list of must-haves for their big day and acquire help from various creatures to assist them in ticking off everything on their list. Mark Kane plays the Farmer and all of the other characters, from a snail to a crab to a French scarecrow – his ability to vocalise each role with a different accent is remarkable. All three members of the cast are talented musicians and make good use of this throughout each of the catchy musical numbers.
The set and props, although slightly tired-looking, possessed redeeming qualities such as an armchair that turned into a motor car, however from row J of the stalls it was not always easy to see the hillside in the background. There were also other elements of the scenery which were lost on my Son because the set didn't appear to lend itself to the space. Perhaps more of a nod towards the fact that Betty and Harry are scarecrows wouldn't have gone amiss, either – although I am aware that the characters in the book don't entirely resemble scarecrows in a typical way, they are somewhat humanised in the illustrations.
Overall if your child is a fan of the book I think it's worth a watch, I was aware of some young patrons who could quote along with the show. The audience engagement at the beginning was a great gimmick and the sheer variety of instruments that the cast were able to switch between was impressive in itself. You can catch the show on UK tour throughout 2017.

Husband and wife tv duo Adam and Katy Rickitt are the proud new owners of Dexter and Jones in Knutsford.
Hollyoaks star Adam and tv presenter Katy have been married for five years this Christmas, and were amongst the first customers to step through the doors of the Princess Street wine shop when it opened in 2016.
Dexter and Jones is a bottle shop and bar, specialising in artisan gin and craft beers that haven't been discovered by the supermarkets or larger pub chains.
"From the moment we discovered the place we were hooked," enthused Adam.
"Whether it was drinking in or finding a treasure to take home, it was just like a grown-up sweet shop!
"We said to the owners there and then that if they ever even thought about selling up they had to let us know first."
Katy added: "In the summer, the day before we boarded the plane for our holiday, Karen – one of owners – rang to say they were putting the place on the market.
"We just looked at each other… and in unison said 'yes'!"
But things haven't been all plain sailing.
"We've had to pretty much beg, borrow, steal… and remortgage the house to make it happen!"
Katy explained: "The place has always meant so much to us we never really had a choice.
"The idea of it just disappearing or being turned into a chain was something we, and all the regulars, would have found heart-breaking."
The couple have promised not to change anything about the venue, but they will be looking to enhance the wine and coffee offering – as well as putting on some food like tapas, as well as cakes and toasties.
Adam joked: "Basically just little tweaks that mean we can actually just live there!"
Dexter and Jones will play host to the Knutsford Beer Festival 2020 ticket launch event on Thursday 5th December.

Reliable stereoscopic video streaming considering important objects of the scene
In this paper, we introduce a new reliable method of stereoscopic Video Streaming based on multiple description coding strategy. The proposed multiple description coding generates 3D video descriptions considering interesting objects contained in its scene. To be able to find interesting objects in the scene, we use two metrics from the second order statistics of the depth map image in a block-wise manner. Having detected the objects, the proposed multiple description coding algorithm generates the 3D video descriptions for the color video using a non-identical decimation method with respect to the identified objects. The objective test results verify the fact that the proposed method provides an improved performance than that provided by the polyphase subsampling multiple description coding and our previous work using pixel variation.

Kyle Kashuv, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting, issued a formal apology on Thursday night for making "callous" racially charged comments while he was in high school.
"We were 16-year-olds making idiotic comments, using callous and inflammatory language in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible," Kashuv said in a written statement posted on Twitter. Kashuv added, "I'm embarrassed by it, but I want to be clear that the comments I made are not indicative of who I am or who I've become in the years since."
Kashuv doesn't explicitly say what "offensive comments" he was referencing, but he appears to be referencing a Google Doc and series text messages that were posted on Twitter about a week ago by one of Kashuv's classmates at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
One screen shot appears to show Kashuv using the N-word several times in a Google Doc shared with other students.
"N*GGER N*GGER N*GGER like im really good at typing n*gger ok like practice uhhhhhh makes perfect song??!!" Kashuv allegedly wrote in a portion of the Google Doc.
In another tweet on the same thread, a screen shot of text messages sent by Kashuv appears to show Kashuv referring to black athletes as "n*ggerjocks."
Kashuv is an 18-year-old high school senior who is set to attend Harvard in the fall.
Conservatives on Twitter had a mixed response to Kashuv's apology. CJ Pearson, a popular 16 year-old conservative commentator, condemned Kashuv in a series of tweets on Thursday and Friday. Pearson pointed out that "being 16 isn't an excuse to refer to black athletes as 'n*igger jocks.'"
Noah Ring, another prominent teen conservative activist, tweeted that he "would've never even dreamt about using the derogatory language that Kyle used."
The Reagan Battalion, a self-identified conservative news organization, tweeted out its defense of Kashuv, saying that, "he deserves a second chance."
Kashuv made a name for himself in the conservative movement as one of the most pro-gun rights survivors of the February 2018 deadly Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. While many other survivors, such as David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez, have pushed for several very far-left gun control policies, Kashuv's support for the Second Amendment made him a star among conservatives.
After gaining mainstream fame through his several appearances on Fox News, Kashuv was hired by Charlie Kirk's pro-Trump organization Turning Point USA as its Direct of High School Outreach.
Perhaps just coincidentally, Kashuv announced on Twitter that he was leaving Turning Point just 6 hours before the screenshots of his racially offensive language were posted on Twitter.

Follow these tips to get your garage in tip top shape. Let's get to work!
- Perhaps the most important first step, before renovating your garage, is eliminating all the extra stuff you keep, but don't use. Try throwing away or donating unused, broken, or old items. It's amazing how much less overwhelmed you will feel with less stuff crowding your life and your garage
- Flooring Update: Get rid of that ugly, cracked concrete floor in your garage! It's time to add some style and class to your garage. Epoxy and modular floorings are great for anyone hoping to step up their garage flooring game. Epoxy is slip and water resistant; that means you can actually increase the safety level of your garage. This is perfect for families with small children or older adults. Decide on a specific color scheme and stick to it. Epoxy flooring is a great way to add a pop of color into your garage's theme. Later on in this article, you will see where else you can incorporate color into your garage.
- Get everything up and off the floor. Many times people don't utilize the wall space they have available in their garage. Use shelving and overhead storage racks to take advantage of wall and ceiling space. Shelving systems with hook systems below help you to take the most advantage of your space. By getting everything up and off the floor, you'll finally be able to park the car in the garage again. There are many shelving systems that can be installed with as little as a stud finder and screw driver.
- Have bare walls? Add a fresh coat of paint. It's amazing how much a light color can make a room seem bigger. Stick with neutral colors to improve the resale value. This is a great time to keep with the color theme you have implemented with both cabinets and flooring.
- Add flare with cabinets. There are cabinets for literally every style. Choose features to go with your cabinets that go well with your family's lifestyle. Keep with your common color theme that you have already established with flooring and the new paint coat you have put on the walls. Have someone who slams the door shut? Try a slow shutting feature. If you have children, try a lockable cabinet. If you have changing needs, try a cabinet brand that has adjustable shelving.
- Update Lighting. If you have poor lighting in your garage, try adding additional lighting. Having a brighter space will make spending time in your garage more enjoyable. More light even means that you can get things done in your garage even when it is dark outside.

PartyPoker is one of the world's top poker rooms - in terms of traffic, anyway. Originally launched all the way back in 2001, PartyPoker.com is one of the pioneers of the online poker world. Following the merger of PartyGaming plc and Bwin Interactive Entertainment AG in 2011, PartyPoker is now part of Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment - the largest publicly traded online gaming company in the world.
Making a Deposit
With a wide variety of currencies and payment methods available, PartyPoker provides fuss-free options for all players to hand over their money. Currencies available include GBP, Euros and US and Canadian Dollars. The choice of payment options includes Credit/Debit card, Bank Transfer, e-wallet, pre-paid cards and vouchers and more.
Website Design and Usability
PartyPoker's graphical style is clean and clear - which has the benefit of making information easily accessible - but the downside of appearing slightly bland. One of the clearest advantages of their user-friendly software is the wealth of options available to layout and functionality. Some of the most appealing aspects of PartyPoker include the ability to stack multiple tables, a host of customisation options for table and deck views and a good selection of lively social features.
Rooms Available
PartyPoker.com offers a decent selection of Texas Hold'em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud variations.

Since PartyPoker is a popular brand in various countries, a significant footfall of traffic means that you'll find substantial numbers of all categories of player at most times of the day.
PartyPoker's withdrawal process is quick and painless, with a $5 minimum amount and no maximum limit. A wide variety of methods are available for withdrawals and requests are usually processed within a couple of hours.
Customer Care
PartyPoker offers the usual avenues for customer support such as on-site email form, live chat and a free phone line. It is highly recommended that, for a swift and accurate response, that you contact PartyPoker customer service staff via their phone service - as emails take up to 24 hours to process and their replies are not always entirely helpful. Their telephone support staff, however, are friendly and knowledgeable.
If you're looking for a highly customisable experience with a wide range of busy poker rooms then PartyPoker.com is a decent option. There is nothing remarkable about the software or the service, but PartyPoker provides solid, user-friendly online poker with decent instant play options and a substantial portfolio of bonuses and promotions.

All Blacks coach, Steve Hansen, was not exactly charmed after watching two Six Nations matches last weekend, according to an article in the NZ Herald.
Hansen outlined his fears for the game after watching what he believed to be drab, defence-dominated Six Nations encounters between France and Wales and Ireland and England at the weekend.
"I've actually got big concerns about the game at the moment, because there are not enough tries being scored, which is turning the fans away," said Hansen, a former Wales coach who has set the standards with the All Blacks.
"I think there's a responsibility on the coaches and the players as well. We are trying to get defensive lines up really quickly, but I think we've probably gone too far with it.
"There's a responsibility to the game. If we don't do that, then we are not going to have any running rugby.
"There were only three tries scored in the two games I went to over the weekend. No-one is prepared to take the risk, because they are going to get belted behind the advantage line if they move the ball.
"If we want to encourage people to watch the game, then scoring tries is what does that.
"We can get blinded by a loyalty to our team or we can say to ourselves, 'Is this really the game we want?'
"If we don't address it, then we are going to get very boring rugby matches.
"We are about to go into a showpiece for the sport at the World Cup. There are going to be millions and millions of people watching it and then all you're going to see is people kick goals.
I would like to add to what Hansen said by also involving the rule makers.
Compare this to Varsity Cup, where the points system forces teams to want to score tries, rather than kick penalties. Surely, by now, the effectiveness of this and other experiments are very clear?
Ek onthou die dae toe 'n drie nog 'n drie was, nie 'n vyf nie. So baie het sedertdien verander, maar met min effek, behalwe om die spel so gekompliseerd te maak dat die enigste sekerheid groot onsekerheid is oor die toepassing van die reëls.
Ons het al vantevore gepraat oor die proefnemings wat gedoen is by Stellenbosch Universiteit se koshuisliga. Die gebruik van twee skeidsregters is krities in die moderne weergawe van die spel. Dit gaan nie net oor voorspelers wat oortree as die skeidsregter aan die anderkant van die skrum is nie. Weens die tegniese kompleksiteit van die reëls is vier oë beter as twee. Die assistant skeidsregter, wat soms aan die verste ent van veld is, kan noodwendig nie so goed sien soos iemand wat teenaan die skrum staan nie.
Die rugby-owerhede kan gerus Hansen se waarskuwing ter harte neem. Die All Blacks is immers die mees aanskoulike span op die planeet, ondanks die reëls, en nie as gevolg daarvan nie.

Hard luck to our U13 Ladies football team who narrowly lost their first Shield Final on Saturday to St Peregrines 7-08 v 8-07 it was a nail biting game right to the bitter end. A special word of thanks to all the parents, grandparents, friends and supporters who came along on the day to support the girls and to Siobhan Woods who spoke to the girls beforehand. The team are also competing in their first Div 3 Camogie Shield final against Round Tower (Clondalkin) on Sunday 23rd October.
Hard luck to our U15b ladies who were runners up in their championship final on Saturday.
Under 15 hurlers take Division 2 title.
Raheny 4:14
Faughs 0:4
If Carlsberg did farewell matches this could have been it as the Under 15 manager of 8 years Áine Williams bowed out in style. Her input over the years reflected on the field of play on Sunday morning. Thanks Aine and best of luck with the studies from all the parents and your assistant mentors.'
An outstanding first half display against a gale force wind laid the foundation for a comprehensive win for our Under 15 hurlers in Tymon north on Sunday morning to be crowned Dublin Under 15 Division 2 league champs. Goals from Liam Dunne (1:4) and Tom Geary (2:2) and a man of the match performance from the particularly mobile and astute centre back Rob McGuirk ensured a hard fought half time score of 2:4 to 0:2 would be unassailable for the hosts facing the second half wind. And so it was as Raheny ran out comfortable winners.
Adam Codd kept a clear sheet in goal well minded by Josh Lynch, Sean Lumley, Tom O Donnell and Mathew Lodge. The centre back line was like a brick wall allowing nothing past with Leon Coakley, Darragh O Grady and Sean Ryan winning all the rooks on the half back line. As ever Mark Muphy (0:1) and Eoin Bridgeman at midfield gave master classes in the art of work rate and never allowed the Faughs midfield to settle for the entire 60 minutes. Up front a hard working Tadhg O Donnell, Anthony House, Thomas Moriarty did well while Ben Roberts (0:1) and Thomas Hurley (1:2) struck some lovely scores including an outrageous point from the sideline from Enda Owens (0:3). Cheer of the match went out for a lovely bit of team work that ended in a great point by Luke Moreau. Well done also to Joe Crimmins, Robert House, Luke Fox, Jamie Herbert and Daniel Kane, who played so well during the long league campaign and unfortunately didn't get a run out on Sunday morning
Our Intermediate Hurlers were knocked out of the championship by St Judes in Blakestown on Saturday after a hard fought game by just one point.
Scoil Reachrann played their first ever camogie match and walked away with a win, Maith sibh Cailini. They had 7 girls from Raheny which included 2 sets of sisters...can you spot them??
Well done to one of our Feeder school St Brigid's boys who are through to the football Final in Croke Park.
