Many would argue that the practice of medicine has changed with the progress of consumer empowerment and ready access to Dr Google.
Respectfully, however, some things even in that context are still underpinned by the interaction and relationship between the doctor and the patient. Whether it is in a face-to-face consultation or examination, by telephone or telemedicine, by snail mail or email, or even by SMS – it
has long been recognised that the interaction between doctor and patient is one where the doctor is in a position of power.
Even the patient most empowered with knowledge and consumer confidence must still be respected in their position as 'patient' – the differential lies in their 'need' for the physician. A sharp example to remind us of this is when we ourselves – doctors – fall into the need to be cared for by colleagues.
We often minimise our symptoms and fears, make presumptive diagnoses, mistrust ourselves and our colleagues, fail to conform to advice and put ourselves at greater risk of poorer outcomes. It is difficult to yield ourselves to the hands of someone else's care, and we are challenging to treat.
Every patient is vulnerable due to the very fact that they have a need to see a physician – they may feel unwell, weak, confused, frightened, anxious or stressed. These are the 'emotional' and 'subjective' overlays that are part of the physical that we must interrogate, examine and manage.
In addition of course, there are many other factors that come into play including age, sex, socio-economic status, past history, education, religious and cultural origins etc. The patient suffering with mental illness is another example of complex vulnerability.
In addition, there is a knowledge differential between patient and doctor as to how the consultation will be conducted and the path that the taking of a history, examination and management of presenting or other problems will take.
We hear of the obvious examples of where difficulties can arise in the context of male doctors seeing young women. The position of power by the doctor in this circumstance is seen to be potentially greater by society and by virtue of gender, and sometimes age must be recognised as an interaction that may need more caution or even a chaperone.
As in any instance, the appropriate conduct of the doctor is essential to protect the patient from even feeling at risk or vulnerable. This is presented in language, communication and explanation, body position and space, touch and examination technique.
A patient can feel abused in the professional relationship just through the tone and body language of the clinician. This vulnerability places responsibility and onus on the physician to respect the patient, not take advantage, to explain carefully what is happening, and to obtain consent for any examination, investigation or treatment.
The doctor is not to misrepresent themselves or what they are doing to a patient. The doctor is expected to be honest and transparent at all times.
Similarly, the doctor should not foster a relationship with a patient to create a false relationship to increase the vulnerability of a patient in order to then exploit them.
An example of this might be where the doctor describes himself as 'special' at particular care. Creating anxiety or a false confidence in a patient in order to get them to commit to that treating doctor and then in that vulnerability, accept over investigation, over servicing, sale of product and a false belief that the treatment they are receiving is 'better' than elsewhere. This is an abuse of the doctor-patient relationship.
There are a variety of ways that a doctor can manipulate a patient and these are founded in that innate 'position of power'. We must be aware, and always practise with high ethical and moral principles.
Flattery, inducement, withholding of prescriptions, job offers – these are all extreme situations and fortunately, very rare examples of abuse of the doctor-patient relationship to obtain some kind of gratification (usually sexual) for the doctor. These are the obvious – less obvious are the ones we must all actively consider every time we have a patient encounter.

Implementation Tools and Resources
USDA's Team Nutrition and the Healthy Meals Resource System have developed a website to help local educational agencies meet the local school wellness policy requirements and establish a healthier school nutrition environment. Check out the recently updated School Nutrition Environment and Wellness Resources site for information and resources on:
- Local School Wellness Policy Process steps to build, implement, and monitor your policy
- Wellness Policy Elements to meet the federal requirements
- Success Stories
- Grants/Funding Opportunities related to child nutrition and physical activity
- Trainings
Tools for Schools is a one-stop, back-to-school online resource that helps schools offer healthier and appealing meals and snacks that meet national nutrition standards. It is targeted to the broad school community – administrators, principals, teachers, parents, and school nutrition professionals – to help them build a healthier school environment.
Team Nutrition Resources
Check out Team Nutrition's resources: technical assistance tools and materials, recipes, and guidance to improve the quality of school meals, as well as materials for nutrition education and promotion, such as curricula, lesson plans, and posters. Some examples include:
- Popular Events Idea Booklet provides fun ways to promote nutrition and physical activity at elementary and middle schools. It includes ideas for 20 themed events, both large and small and handouts, templates, and other free resources to support events.
- Healthier Middle Schools: Everyone Can Help is a series of communication tools designed to help you engage teachers, principals, parents, food service managers and students in school wellness efforts.
- Recipes for Healthy Kids Cookbooks for Homes, Child Care Centers, and Schools include 30 delicious, kid-approved recipes developed by teams of school nutrition professionals, chefs, students, parents and other community members. Schools can easily incorporate these standardized recipes into their National School Lunch Program menus.
- Elementary School Posters help you promote healthy food choices throughout the school. Use them with taste tests, special events, or to add some fun to your breakfast program.
- Serving Up MyPlate: A Yummy Curriculum is a collection of classroom materials that helps elementary school teachers integrate nutrition education into Math, Science, English Language Arts, and Health to introduce the importance of eating from all five food groups using the MyPlate icon and a variety of hands–on activities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has online resources to assist school districts in designing, implementing, and promoting elements of local school wellness policies:
- Putting Local School Wellness Policies into Action: Stories from School Districts and Schools
- School Health Index
- Local School Wellness Policy
Be sure to take a look at CDC's School Health Guidelines to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity. This resource presents evidence-based guidelines for developing, implementing, and evaluating school-based healthy eating and physical activity policies and practices for K-12 students. This resource also provides useful strategies to implement the guidelines including policy development, the school environment, physical activity and physical education, school meals, competitive foods, school health services, school employee wellness, health education and teacher and staff qualifications and training.
CDC and Bridging the Gap research program also published a series of research briefs and a PowerPoint presentation that provides an assessment of policies across school districts nationwide, related to seven wellness policy components. State agencies, school districts, and schools can use these resources to identify areas of opportunity to strengthen wellness policy components. Check out Promoting Health through Local School Wellness Policies.
CDC also developed a set of resources called Parents for Healthy Schools to help schools and school groups (e.g., parent teacher associations (PTA), parent teacher organizations (PTO), school wellness committees) engage parents to create healthy school environments. Use these tools to educate and engage parents and learn about all of the ways parents can support your wellness efforts.
Additional Resources
Model Local School Wellness Policy, developed by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, was thoroughly reviewed by the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service, and is compliant with the statutory requirements for local school wellness policies, as per the final regulation, "Local School Wellness Policy Implementation Under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010." This model wellness policy can be used by local educational agencies to help create their local school wellness policy and meet the minimum Federal standards for local school wellness policy implementation.
Resource to Sustain and Strengthen Local Wellness Initiatives is a guide to help school districts conduct an evaluation of local wellness policies. This guide details step-by-step instructions for conducting an evaluation, deciding what the results mean, and communicating the findings to stakeholders. (Developed by Institute for Child Nutrition and funded, in part, by USDA.)

I recently received a copy of Ogden McNally's Journal in the mail. Rather than take pictures of everything, I think I'll just post one taken by someone else who received the same package.
The medallion is the main reason why I'm including this little gem in my blog. On the one side it has the circled cross, on the other scribbled "runes" that look to be modeled on the alchemically inspired "demonic alphabets."
This impression is strengthened by the diary itself which alternates between two styles of handwriting, one neat and one wild but both theoretically penned by the same individual while in two different states of mind.
There is a lot of fun to be had if you google "Ogden Andre McNally," especially if you read the comments. I shall certainly be following up with both the number on the shipping receipt and the publisher when the opportunity presents itself.
This has all the fingerprints of an ARG so even though it does not directly deal with In Nomine, I will probably make some additional space for it on this blog as I interact more with the "game world" and whatever demons it hides.

How to draw the figure using Conte crayon, September 2013
Conté is a tricky medium – sometimes it acts more like charcoal and sometimes it acts like a crayon. That's not unusual when you consider that conte' is a combination of graphite or charcoal and wax. It was invented by Frenchman Nicolas-Jacque Conté in 1795.
When I draw with conté I try to use a lighter touch, otherwise my drawing gets too dark, too quickly. My better efforts have been on textured, colored charcoal paper. Conté comes in a variety of colors, but for figure drawing I prefer sanguine and white for highlights. It helps to have a great model as I did in my drawing seen here, 'Heroic Male with Sword'.
Michaelangelo used red chalk (prior to the creation of conté) for preliminary sketches for his paintings. You can view this sketch in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art at: http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/337497

As we all dive into Android M, we're learning about new features all the time and a post over on Google+ suggests that we could see icons in the status bar flip from white to dark depending on the app and the color of the app's status bar.
As noted by Droid-Life, a developer can turn on "android:windowLightStatusBar" in the theme of their app and the system will switch to a dark foreground. On certain devices and in certain apps, we've already seen that white status bar icons barely show up on a light background and as long as app developers enable this feature, it could solve this ongoing problem.
At present, the preview of Android M has a bug which means that this will only change the status icons to dark, leaving notifications in white but this is likely due to the preview nature of Android M and should be fixed before the release of the platform later this year.

When you look at the list of completed projects on its website, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Technip Iberia (TPI) has single-handedly built the entire industrial part of Barcelona. When I put it like that to Jerónimo Farnós he demurred; but there's no denying that Technip has had a hand in a very large number of developments over its 38-year history.TPI's headquarters is in Barcelona where it employs some 250 people; there is a production office in Tarragona employing a further 100 staff; and a small commercial office in Madrid. From these offices, TPI is active throughout Spain, having completed projects in almost all industrial sites in the country.
TPI is the Spanish arm of the international Technip Group, headquartered in Paris but with major operations on every continent. These days it is no longer involved in lump sum turnkey construction as such, but specialises in project management, planning and cost control, procurement and inspection, design and engineering, site management and all the complex work necessary for the delivery of complex installations and building on time and on budget. "We are focused on two main areas," says Farnós. "The first is working directly with our principal Spanish clients, such as Repsol, Cepsa or Enagás. The second is our international clients with facilities in Spain like Dow Chemical, BP, BASF, BAYER and many more. We are active in nearly all industrial sectors, but especially chemicals, food, fuel storage, gas, industrial gases, energy, petrochemicals, pharmaceutical and refining."
But TPI is increasingly involved in the Technip Group's global activities too, providing personnel and support to far-flung EPC jobs like the recently opened Dung Quat oil refinery—the first in Vietnam—for Petrovietnam, and a ConocoPhillips project in Germany. Such projects now take up to a third of TPI's resources, he says. "These are usually multi-centre projects with a hub that coordinates project management and everything else with the collaboration of other centres." TPI is very experienced in this, and frequently undertakes the detailed engineering and procurement parts of the project, he says.
Like all firms that depend on the spending decisions of clients, TPI has been noticeably affected by the recent credit crisis. Industrial production in Spain is down to under 70 per cent of its maximum capacity. After a boom year in 2008 with a turnover of around €35 million for engineering services, TPI got though most of 2009 in good shape, though the workload began to fall off in the fourth quarter, and 2010 is going to be more difficult, Farnós predicts. "The longer term projects are now complete, or in the final phase, and we didn't secure any really big new ones last year. But it's not all bad! We have a sound basis of technical work from our regular clients, and many small projects of up to €1 million. We have won some medium-sized jobs and are hoping to tie up others in the second half of this year."
The emphasis domestically has shifted from major new construction to revamping existing facilities as clients focus on cost efficiency and in a few cases, capacity extension. "We have adapted to this in two ways: by giving our existing clients the best support we can for the work they have to do and by moving into the export market, where there are longer term, larger contracts. We are also trying to enlarge our base and work in more diversified markets." No particular sector seems to be booming at the moment, he says regretfully, so it is imperative for TPI to cover all the bases and increase the amount it is doing in the energy sector, get involved with waste treatment units in Spain and become more involved in foreign markets.
There are regions in the world—the Middle East is an example—where investment has continued apace; and others where it is already picking up after the recession. TPI is already very active in the global Technip operations, with 10 per cent of its personnel located overseas at any one time. "This gives them good exposure to international projects and techniques, and working with international clients. Our international activity is especially important for us today."
He emphasises that a consulting and engineering organisation like TPI stands or falls by the quality of its staff. Each year, it runs an extensive training plan to bring its team of professionals up to date with the latest technical knowledge.
These training courses and seminars—in-house or at external organisations—cover both general and technical aspects, such as specific courses for optimum handling of available tools (with special emphasis on the PDS-3D system and auxiliary modules)."We have a lot of HR initiatives in the company, one of which—Human Resources Without Borders—helps us to be more 'global' than we already are. It develops people and skills from an international and not just a local viewpoint, and has a very innovative programme that delivers training and assessment over the internet. At a corporate level, the Technip University is open to the worldwide family of companies."
The strategic objective is to train people better in the legislation, safety requirements and regulation they will encounter in different projects as well as giving them the technical tools for engineering, project management, financial control and the like. Equally, Technip feels that it is essential to expose its people to best practices on a global scale by fostering mobility and equal opportunity, says Farnós.
And TPI is still very much involved in flagship projects in Spain. A good example is the EPC contract to build a hydrogen plant at the Spanish oil companyCepsa's Huelva refinery, in collaboration with Technip's operations and engineering centre in Zoetermeer, Holland. This is an upgrading project of the type Farnós was talking about, but one sector that is still attracting new investment is liquid natural gas (LNG), brought in by tankers from overseas and regasified locallyfor the grid. TPI is in the middle of a four-year contract, due to complete in 2011, to upgrade the huge Enagás LNG terminal at Barcelona. "They are building a new jetty and four new LNG tanks, each of them having a capacity of 150,000 cubic metres."
It's not an easy time, Farnós concludes, but Technip Iberia is a solid company within a solid and well financed group, and he is confident that its continued investment in training, as well as its impeccable track record, will secure its future profitability and expansion.

Bob Woodward: Fear. Trump in the White House. ISBN 978-9-526-53299-8 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I knew that reading this book would not be a source of joy. Though it is meticulously researched and extremely well written, its subject, as it unfolds, comes close to a political horror trip. Welcome to the White House of President Donald Trump aka @realdonaldtrump. In Bob Woodward's book, he is more real than ever, and it's not a pretty sight.
I will not go into the details of Woodward's description of how amateurish the Trump campaign was organized, how he hijacked the Republicans and how willfully unprepared he arrived at the White House. The old warhorse of the "Washington Post" does it much better than I could ever do. I will not delve into the daily chaos that marked the White House after Trump had taken office, triggered by the president's emotional tweets, the absence of rules and procedures, the exit of hundreds of experienced public servants and the arrival of ignorant nobs. Woodward has interviewed hundreds of people, and his fact-checking team must have spent thousands of hours verifying each statement illustrating the pervasive anarchy. It's all in the book, and it's worth reading it.
You may be asking why. Perhaps you think the worst is over, now that the Democrats rule the House of Representatives. I would like to temper your optimism. It's not yet over. Trump has already profoundly changed politics in Washington, and one may even say that he has profoundly changed the United States. Here are a few take-aways related to the book.
Polarize the Nation!
Steve Bannon, the alt-Right ideological sharp-shooter, the brain behind Trump's electoral success and the first presidential decisions in 2017, set the tone for the political dialogue in Washington: Polarize the Nation! Attack the establishment! Annihilate any enemy, left, right, centre! Republicans inside and outside Congress went along with that strategy. And many subscribed to it in the recent mid-term elections. Us versus them. No prisoners taken.
This style appeals to those who voted for Trump in 2016: Disenchanted people, with no optimistic outlook that the "American Dream" will ever become a reality for them. The forgotten ones in the Midwest, in the Rust Belt, in the conservative south, those for whom globalization brought unsecurity and often misery. These people and their legitimate griefs will not go away. They will embrace Trump again or anyone emulating him. For they have nothing to lose.
Life in the Trump bubble
Since Inauguration Day, the White House is ruled by a man who seems to have lost touch with reality long ago. He lives in a bubble, shaped by excessive TV consumption, Fox News mainly, by the yes-sayers around him, by rallies with adulating crowds and the absence of any knowledge about economics and politics. According to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Trump has the comprehension of "a fifth- or sixth-grader", as Woodward writes.
Trump lives in a world where smoking factory chimneys mean progress and prosperity, where climate change is a scientific fraud and where the United States is a self-sufficent country, capable of handling all kind of challenges on its own. This makes it so easy to manipulate the president, with unforeseen consequences for the United States and the rest of the world. You just need to dangle the right type of carrot in front of Trump. Russia quickly understood this, Steve Bannon's alt-Right too. That reminds me of that wonderful bon mot "Now we have them exactly where they want us."
Outbursts and lies
Trump's virulent attacks on all kind of multilateral agreements, from the "Iran Deal" to the Paris Climate Agreement and free trade treaties, have changed the international landscape already. Stockmarkets are wary of trade wars, while former allies will distrust the US government for as long as Trump and his ideas are around. And for good reason. There is no coherent foreign policy and there is no orderly policy-making process in the White House anymore. It's all emotions. The president gets set up by CNN or the "Washington Post", by the investigation on his ties to Russia, by a staffer taking longer than 10 minutes to explain an issue, and all hell breaks loose. Trump throws a tantrum and has to break something: a treaty, the relationship with an ally, anything.
Speaking about the Russia investigation, I relished Woodward's account of the US president's interaction with his lawyer John Dowd, who did everything possible to protect Trump from himself. To do so efficiently, he needed Trump to trust him, to faithfully recall what had been said and done during the campaign… are you laughing already? That's precisely the point. Trump didn't know, didn't recall, didn't trust. Dowd faced a pathological liar, for whom reality and fantasy have become one. One must assume that most of the time, the US president doesn't know himself which of his statements are true actually.
Donald Trump's presidency is about destroying the current order without replacing it by anything else – just for the sake of media coverage. Trump's presidency is about an embattled ego, longing for recognition. Trump's presidency is about Trump. Nothing else. The title of Woodward's book stems from a quote of the presidential candiate: "Real power is, I don't even want to use the word, fear." Trump spreads fear, no doubt. But his anger and his destructive actions are the symptoms of a suffering man.
As Woodward subtly shows, Trump himself is filled with fear. The fear to fail. He was filled with that fear probably since he was a boy, growing up in the shadow of his successful father, the New York real estate tycoon Fred Trump. What makes Trump dangerous, is his fear to fail. It makes him weak too. The first step to counter Trump and his disruptive potential is to let go any fear, to think for ourself and to speak our mind. There's nothing to fear except our own fear that makes us helpless.
A dysfunctional system, not unlike the White House, has been described by the composer Aribert Reimann in his opera "Lear", based on Shakespeare's play:

Photographing NYC
Photographer Larry Racioppo tells the story of a gritty borough all but lost today, in his new book, Brooklyn Before: Photographs, 1971-1983,
11.07.18 6:01am
New York City can be a photographer's paradise. There's no shortage of people or places to capture in a photo, from the Flatiron Building to straphangers waiting on the platform for the A train. On this week's Cityscape, we're talking with two New York City-based photographers who capture their own unique perspectives of the Big Apple. Larry Racioppo is out with a new book called Brooklyn Before: Photographs, 1971-1983 and Herb Bardavid focuses on the city's elderly population in his project "Getting Old and Getting Out in New York City."

[Video Goals] Crystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal: 10-Man Gunners Go 5 Clear
Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon thanks to goals from Mikel Arteta and Olivier Giroud.
After a goalless first half, the Gunners went ahead from the spot after Serge Gnabry was fouled in the area, Mikel Arteta the man to convert. The midfielder then saw red for bringing down Chamakh, although the decision seemed harsh considering the striker was still over 40 yards from goal.
Palace pushed for an equaliser but Arsenal eventually got the second on the break when Aaron Ramsey set up Olivier Giroud to head home to seal the three points and move the north Londoners five points clear at the top of the league. Watch the goals here:

Refund warning for airlines over taxes on unused flights
AIRLINES that refuse to reimburse passengers for taxes and charges for unused flights could face legal action, the National Consumer Agency (NCA) is warning.
The agency's chief executive Ann Fitzgerald says time is running out for airlines that levy high administration charges to reimburse fees.
She made the remarks as the agency moves to become a one-stop shop for consumer information on financial matters, by taking over this role from the Financial Regulator.
At about €70 for a return flight, consumers are losing millions of euro each year in taxes and fees for unused flights because all airlines make it too expensive and difficult for them to claim back their entitlements.
"We would give airlines one last shot at re-addressing the situation whereby it's either uneconomical or consumers are refused refunds of taxes and charges. And if that one last shot does not succeed we would have the option of going to court to ask a judge to decide on the issue," Ms Fitzgerald said.
"We are near endgame on this," she added. All airlines were guilty of making it difficult for passengers to get this money back, and it was a pan-European issue that nobody had addressed, she said.
The NCA also pledged to make banking and financial costs for consumers more transparent as it takes over the Financial Regulator's duties in providing public information and education on these issues.
The NCA handled about 70,000 calls a year on general issues of consumer concern, while the Financial Regulator took 24,000 calls on financial issues, but it made more sense to have a one-stop shop for information as consumers did not divide up their wallets according to government agency, Ms Fitzgerald said.
About 20 staff have been redeployed on secondment to the NCA to make this shift, and it is hoped that the service will continue to be funded through a levy on financial institutes collected by the Central Bank.
The NCA has given up on its plans to run a constantly updated price-comparison website on grocery prices because the supermarkets do not provide the information required.
"We are satisfied that there is competition in the overall sector, so we are going to start focusing on individual sectors within groceries," she said.
This would allow them run more frequent surveys of prices for different categories of products, such as baby products, detergents or chilled food.

China started taking new administrative policies on New Year's Day, including two regulations on car fuel levy and road policing which are expected to mostly affect drivers.
In a circular to all localities last month, the State Council, or Cabinet, said the government decided to levy a fixed sales tax, or 0.8 yuan (US$0.12), on per liter of motor vehicle fuel, which offsets car owners' previous annual payment for road maintenance, beginning Jan. 1, 2009.
The money collected would go for road and water routes maintenance, the government said.
Also effective as of the New Year's Day is the revised norms for traffic police patrolling, which asks police to be lenient to drivers who slightly violate traffic rules and cause little damage.
The government requires the China Insurance Regulatory Commission to publicize certain information on administrative procedures, punishment verdicts, state-approved insurance terms and premium rates, according to a new rule on the release of government information.
A lawyer registration regulation allows Taiwan lawyers to practice legal business in the Chinese mainland if they pass certificate tests for lawyers in China and meet other requirements.
The new law on promoting recycling economy prohibits local governments to dismantle buildings that meet the standards for urban planning and construction and are in the "life span" except for immediate needs of public interest.
It also requires government departments to take a lead in using energy- and water-saving products and those that are conducive to environmental protection.

Taylor Swift's life became "much lighter" after her Katy Perry feud ended.
The pair fell out when the Roar singer nabbed her pop rival's dancers for a tour, and they bickered in the media and in the lyrics to their songs for several years before Katy urged Taylor to stop fighting with her and become friends.
She sent Taylor an actual olive branch to make it clear she was serious about ending their feud and now she has appeared in the 29-year-old's new You Need to Calm Down video, hugging her new pal.
In addition, Taylor has told the U.K.'s Capital Breakfast radio show that she and Katy have been on "good terms" for some time after meeting at a couple of parties.
"We saw each other at a party and walked up to each other and hugged it out and talked about things," she said. "Then saw each other again and hung out at another party. It was just like something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us."
But Taylor wanted to make sure that she and Katy, 34, were "solid" before announcing their reconciliation to fans.
"She and I have been fine for a while and really on good terms, but we didn't know if we were ever gonna really tell people about it," the singer added. "We wanted to make sure that was solid between us before we ever made the public aware."
Katy joins Ciara, RuPaul, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Laverne Cox, among other stars in the new video, which debuted on Monday.

Baked fish fillets with green salsa
Posted on May 10th, 2013
This is another recipe from the fantastic Two Oceans website, which I've adapted for Ireland. It's actually a super healthy recipe so if you want something delicious but "good" it's perfect. It goes really well with Pinot Grigio and theirs is of course a good match! Subtly perfumed with floral notes and fragrances of dried apricot and peach and a hint of lychee, it's crisp, zesty and easy-drinking. Serves 4 people, takes about 15 minutes to prepare and cook Ingredients For the fish: ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil 8 fish fillets, skin on one side, such as seabass, hake or sea bream Green salsa marinade: 2 cloves garlic 1 chilli Juice and peel of 1 lemon Large handful flat-leaf parsley Handful of…

Celebrate International Sloth Day
A sloth named Adam Capper is one of the main characters who lives in The Life Tree. We love these adorable creatures and as today is International Sloth Day we thought it was only right to pay tribute to these little bundles of cuteness.
Did you know that sloths are the slowest mammals on earth! They live in the rainforests of Central and South America and spend most of their time in the trees where they eat and sleep.
They only ever leave the safety of the trees for the call of nature (we all have to go sometimes!) and to go for an occasional swim!
There is a misconception that sloths are lazy but we can assure you that they are not. They move incredibly slowly but scientists think that this may be due to the fact that these gentle tree dwellers have a complex digestive system which digests food very slowly. It can take up to a month for a sloth to digest one meal and their diet is not very nutritious so it does not give them much energy. All in all, it is easy to see that they have very little energy to move around. And yes they really are slow, a sloth will travel around 6 – 10 ft per minute. Not great if you are trying to escape from a predator! No wonder sloths spend most of their time in the trees, eating and sleeping there and only coming down about once a week.
There are six different species of sloths. Of those the pygmy sloth is critically endangered and the maned sloth is classified as vulnerable. Sloths are categorised as either two-toed or three-toed. In actual fact all sloths have three toes but the two-toed sloth has only two fingers – yes we are confused too!
Sloths are not particularly sociable animals, probably the most sociable they will get is when they sleep in the same tree as another sloth! The only other time a sloth is obligated to be sociable is when it comes to mating. As with most other sloth activities, mating takes place in the trees and starts when a female yells out a mating call. Males will vie for her attention by hanging from the branches and pawing at each other with their sharp claws. The winner's prize is a night with the female sloth! A sloth's gestation period ranges from 5/6 months to 11 and a half months depending on the species. Baby sloths are born in the trees and can stay with their mothers for up to four years.
Some amazing facts about sloths to celebrate International Sloth Day:
- Modern day sloths are around 50-60 cm long. But skeletons have been found of now extinct sloths that show some were the size of elephants!
- Sloths are related to anteaters and armadillos
- Sloths can extend their tongues 10 to 12 inches out of their mouths.
- These long-armed creatures are amazing swimmers and will sometimes drop out of a tree into water below for a paddle and a cool down
- The Sloth's thick fur is a great habitat for moths, beetles, cockroaches, fungi, and algae to live and grow. The green coloured algae that grows on sloths' fur provides a great camouflage to help them avoid predators.
- Two-toed sloths are nocturnal, being most active at night. While three-toed sloths are diurnal which means they are most active during the day.
- It used to be thought sloths sleep for 15 to 20 hours a day. However, it is now believed they only sleep around 10 hours a day – see, we told you they weren't lazy!
- Sloths like to sleep hanging by their claws from tree branches
- Recent studies have shown that the algae and fungi in the sloth fur may help fight many human diseases, including cancer.
Today, 20 October, is International Sloth Day – an unofficial holiday created by the AIUNAU Foundation. The Colombian-based conservation and wildlife organisation hope that focusing attention on these fabulous creatures will raise awareness about their life cycle and the natural habitat of the sloth. So today take time to find out a bit more about these lovely animals and honour the sloth – the sweet and charismatic tree dwellers!

- Page 2 Samsung SyncMaster T240HD Review
- Page 3 Samsung SyncMaster T240HD Review
- Page 4 Samsung SyncMaster T240HD Review
- Page 5 Feature Table Review
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £402.75
PC monitor and TV hybrids are nothing new; in fact we've looked at quite a few this year, including the (article:LG-Flatron-M228WD-22in-Monitor-TV-Tuner LG Flatron M228WD), its replacement the (article:LG-Flatron-M2294D-22in-LCD-TV-Monitor M2294D) and the (article:Hyundai-22in-BlueH-HM22D-DVB-LCD-TV-Monitor Hyundai BlueH HM22D). All these models were 22 inch examples, so the 24 inch effort from Samsung we're looking at today already has one key advantage: a Full HD friendly 1,920 x 1,200 resolution. This makes it ideal for watching high definition video content and games, provides ample desktop real-estate for working and at the flip of a switch – or press of a button in this instance – it's a TV, too.
Dubbed the T240HD and also available as a cheaper non-TV version, the T240, this is yet another Samsung monitor to sport the company's Touch of Colour livery. We've seen it a number of times already, first in the (article:Samsung-LE40A656-40in-LCD-TV Series 6 LE40A656 LCD TV), next in the (article:Samsung-SyncMaster-T200-20in-LCD-Monitor SyncMaster T200 20in Monitor) and more recently in the (article:Samsung-Q210-12-1in-Centrino-2-Notebook 12.1in Q210 Centrino 2) notebook. It works very well on Samsung's TVs, but we were less convinced by the T200 and the Q210.
On the T240HD, however, we're back to loving it. Though ostensibly no different in appearance to the T200, the clear plastic, red accenting and black framing simply works much better on a larger screen where it's relative chunkiness is far less distracting. Combined with a large and curvaceous base, the delightfully subtle power light and touch-sensitive button inset into the frame, the T240HD is a very good looking, though more consumerist, take on a PC Monitor.
Perhaps unsurprisingly this does mean the absence of any meaningful adjustability – there's just a modicum of swivel and tilt on hand and no VESA mounting. This would normally generate some moaning on our behalf but given the focus of the T240HD it's not such a big deal, especially given 24in monitors suffer less due to their size. Moreover, though not so flexible in this respect, what the T240HD lacks in adjustability it more than makes up for in connectivity.
First of all you get two HDMI ports, one on the back and another hidden inside a flap on the left side. At the back this is joined by all the staples, such as D-SUB (VGA) and DVI ports, but also by Component video and phono audio jacks. There's also a 3.5mm audio input for PC audio and, unusually, an optical audio output, too. This is particularly handy for extracting the surround sound audio from HDMI feeds, something you can't do on most monitors with HDMI.
Other connections are mainly TV centric. There's a SCART and an aerial socket on the back and on the left a CI slot for Freeview subscription services, in addition to the previously mentioned HDMI port and a headphone jack. Overall, the T240HD has enough connections for you to connect a PC or even two, an Xbox 360, a PS3 and a few other things besides. Perfect, then, for a bedroom brimming with electronics, maybe a student living in halls or other rented digs, or a kitchen.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

3 suicides in Maskwacis, Alta., in a week prompt calls for hotline
Central Alberta community, once known as Hobbema, reeling over deaths
CBC News, March 13, 2014
Some members of the First Nation community of Maskwacis say they will push for 24-hour suicide hotline following the suicides of three women last week.
"We've buried a lot of people," said Samson Cree band councillor Kirk Buffalo. "A phone call or a program made available — I think that's a step that we will take.
"Whatever it takes, I will introduce it. I'm tired of burying people."
Maskwacis, formerly known as Hobbema, is a community of four First Nations in central Alberta, a community plagued by addiction and violence.
Resident Theresia Boysis is writing a proposal for the hotline.
She knows the sense of hopelessness and despair that leads to thoughts of suicide.
After a series of bad, sometimes abusive relationships, Boysis attempted to take her own life five times before she managed to turn things around.
"I thought, I'm all alone, my children are all taken away, so what's the sense in living," she said. "I must have taken I don't know how many pills along with alcohol. They said I died … I OD'd."
She would also like to see a healing centre built in the community, which would be staffed by people like her, long-time residents who know the community and its problems.
"I'd hold their hand and I'd make sure I'm with them all the time," she said.
The hotline idea is also supported by local RCMP.
Having three suicides in the community in just one week shows how alarmingly high the rate is, said Insp. Charles Wood.
He plans to speak to the recently elected council members about the risk of suicide and what can be done to reduce the number of people dying at their own hand.

i have no words to express how I can only imagine the way it would feel to be apart of a community where these things happen…my heart goes out to all those affected by these tragedies and wish to send them all STRENGTH in my thoughts.
while i think the suicide hotline is a good one, have an action plan to "reach out" to those friends and relatives, boyfriend/girlfriends (and, exs) who are high risk–this trauma of loss will be highest for the next 6 months to a year.
i also like the idea of the "safe house" (a place where those in need can come and find comfort–perhaps with coffee and always someone who will sit and listen) and would suggest making sure that this is open/available at nights and on weekends!
i assume there is a community crisis-intervention team from the community? the bottom line is that although there are "outside" resources, the "healing" must come from "within", the community itself.

All your Versace dreams have come true
Last year Ryan Murphy took his unique brand of dark campy anthology on a journey from the horror genre to true crime. American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson was critically acclaimed and won nine Emmy's for its portrayal of the NFL player's famously controversial murder trial. Murphy will be hoping to emulate that success with the second series of the hit show, titled 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' and dealing with… well… the assassination of Gianni Versace.
Penelope Cruz takes on her first EVER TV role as the dead icon's sister, Donatella Versace, and is seen in the clip mourning in a rather fetching platinum blonde wig. Ricky Martin is Gianni's blood-soaked partner and Ryan Murphy favourite Darren Criss is set to play serial killer Andrew Cunanan. The project is said to focus on Cunanan's descent into instability and his previous murders, as well as the Versace family and their lives. The trailer is dripping with style and we're very excited to see the show when it finally airs in 2018.

Last week, I was checking my feed reader, catching up on all my favorite web comics. One of them is sci-ence, a comic you really should be reading. It's drawn (in part) by artist and science afficianado Maki Naro, and (like xkcd and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) it's both funny and scilicious. I got a snicker out of the comic he had just posted, dealing with my pal Neil Tyson and the Moon. Go read it! Back yet? OK. Now, I know that just last night I was praising Neil, and today I have no cause to bury him. But I will nitpick a wee bit... First, of course, who hasn't wanted to chase Neil Tyson down the street while yelling incoherently at him? But that aside, I must point out that this explanation of the Moon Illusion, while very common, is not actually correct. The Moon Illusion is when the rising (or setting) Moon looks huge and fat, squatting on the horizon, but appears far smaller when up high in the sky. But it's not because you're comparing it with foreground objects! I've seen this illusion when out in the open plain, with nothing between me and the horizon but Kansas farmland, which is like a geometric plane, except flatter.
The real cause is actually a bit more subtle, and the combination of two different illusions. I wrote a pretty thorough explanation a while back... and I figured, why not let Maki know? So I sent him a note. He promptly replied, saying he'd update the comic. And when he did, I got quite the surprise... click the panel to see the whole thing. I'm honored to be included in the comic, which is almost entirely accurate. The science explanation is correct, and once I was lost in a park; ironically Central Park, not far from the American Museum of Natural History where Neil works... shortly before I was scheduled to give a talk there! I'll note that although it's not exactly my style to jump out of a bush at people -- scaring folks and potentially getting shot are things I generally try to avoid -- I am enough of a dork to interrupt a conversation about astronomy if it's going astray. Come to think of it, it's kind of amazing I never have been shot at.

Sensory Activities for Kids: Using the Five Senses
Sensory Activities for Kids: Using the Five Senses
As any parent knows, children love to pick things up, sniff them, bite them... In doing so children are bringing all their different sensory faculties to bear on exploring the world. Children, then, are naturally interested in sensory activities – they like to listen, smell, see, touch and taste. It's important as parents that we encourage this interest as it can help develop important skills and hone the development of children's senses. In this article we list some fun sensory activities and discuss the benefits of sensory stimulation for little ones.
Sensory play activities
So, what are the different categories of sensorial activities? Essentially, they can be broken down by each of the five different senses: touch, smell, sight, hearing, and taste. Here are five different activities to stimulate each one:
- Slime-making! Children love touching weird objects, and what better way to satisfy this than make some slime! It's easy to do – simply mix equal parts liquid starch with school glue and wait for it to become set. For extra fun, separate the slime and add different food colourings for a colourful experience. Just remember that this kind of home experiment can sometimes get messy so have a good laundry detergent like Surf excel Quickwash nearby, just in case the slime leaves some stains behind.
- Flower smelling: Why not encourage a love of the natural world as well as good smelling sense by taking kids on a flower smelling expedition? Head down to a local field or wildlife spot and sniff the different plants to compare and contrast.
- Multicolour painting: Are the monsoon rains stopping your little ones going outside? The sensory play doesn't need to stop. Develop their sense of sight by doing some colourful painting. Or if you feel like it, combine visual and tactile senses by hand painting – see this article for ideas.
- Name that tune! Want your kids to listen closely? Encourage them with listening games. This one is a classic. Simply play the first few seconds of various familiar tracks and have them compete to name it.
- Blindfolded taste test: OK, last but perhaps the most fun: taste. It's important for kids to develop a good sense of taste in order to appreciate nutritious food. To aid their develop play games like blindfolded taste testing when you pick a type of food and try different versions, getting children to identify the various flavours involved.
The benefits of sensory play activities for kids
There are lots of reasons why parents should provide sensory activities for toddlers and older children. For example:
- Sensory play can help calm children down with they are feelings stressed or upset
- Sensory stimulation supports appropriate language development
- Activities for toddlers that include a sensory aspect can also help develop strong memory skills.
There are loads of other good reasons to involve sensory play into your child's routine, but most important of all, sensory activities are fun! Children enjoy using all of their faculties to understand and grow up in the world. Encourage them to do so with some of these simple ideas.

Video coordinator at PlayGround Magazine, I could say that I love cinema since the moment I saw "Citizen Kane", but I would be lying: I love it since I became fascinated by the dinosaurs at "Jurassic Park". I studied Film at the Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona) and tried to get hands-on directing and writing some short-films, besides of writing film critique for different websites and attending as a Young Jury to festivals like San Sebastián, Gijón or Sitges. If you don't like "Rosemary's Baby", we can't be friends.

This move shows a lot of character.

I believe in giving credit where it's due. So even though I loathe rapper Eminem's ignorant political views,I responded with praise last week nevertheless when he dropped a new song that I felt was pretty damn good.
This brings us to President Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., who on Thursday gave deserved credit to leftist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for saying something surprisingly intelligent.
I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with the notorious RBG! Dems take a hint and vote for Kavanaugh en masse!
Justice Ginsburg Criticizes 'Highly Partisan' Confirmation Process; https://t.co/3shg2TKotq via @cnsnews
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 13, 2018
During a speaking engagement at George Washington University on Wednesday, Ginsburg had criticized the partisan nature of contemporary Supreme Court nominee confirmation hearings.
"The way it was was right," she had said, referring to her confirmation in 1993. "The way it is is wrong. I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back to the way it was."
She had issued this remark just days after Democrats spent an entire week shamelessly grandstanding during current nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings.
As noted by Emily Zanotti of The Daily Wire, last week's hearings were "a pointless, partisan spectacle, that only rarely touched on the man destined for the robe and the pension-less job."
Why? Because instead of approaching the hearings with a sincere desire to learn about Kavanaugh, Democrats exploited them to grandstand and score political points.
Even now, Democrats continue to try and play dirty tricks, all in a bid to prevent the man they hate most, President Donald Trump, from placing another conservative on the Supreme Court.
I'd like to think that by displaying their inanity to the public, Democrats hurt their chances in the upcoming elections. Because America contains so many Democrats and they're all equally dumb, however, I'm not so sure.
But Democrats are more than just dumb — they're stubborn like mules, ergo their unwillingness to offer the president any credit for anything, be it improved wages, higher consumer confidence or record consumer spending.
In the rare case that a Democrat does offer Trump credit for something, guess what happens: A complete meltdown replete with accusations of "sexism," "misogyny," blah, blah, blah.
For conservatives like Trump Jr., on the other hand, giving credit where it's due comes with no risks because, unlike our counterparts on the other side of the aisle, we conservatives aren't a bunch of dumb-asses.

On November 15th our country celebrates:
America Recycles Day
This year, the state recycling organization in New York State is organizing the First ever statewide Clothing and Textile collection day!
Social Lodge #713 is sponsoring a clothing drop off shed as a fundraiser and service to the community.
St. Pauly Textile, partnering with Social Lodge #713 installed a clothing collection shed (pictured below) at 1979 Kendall Rd. Kendall, NY 14476 for the community to use as a drop off for clothing. The clothing will be distributed all over the United States and world to those who can use it. Social Lodge #713 will in turn receive $40 for every 1,000 pounds of clothing that is donated.
The EPA estimates that the average person in our country throws away 70 lbs of clothing per year. That adds up to 3.8 billion pounds of unnecessary waste added to our landfills!
Most of that clothing thrown away is perfectly wearable by someone, somewhere. This program keeps clothing out of the landfill, helps out those in need, and helps out Social Lodge #713 with funding.

Frederick Hopkins, 74, has been charged with murder and six counts of attempted murder in an ambush on South Carolina police officers.
According to CNN, Sgt. Terrence Carraway, a 30-year veteran of the Florence Police Department, was killed after arriving on the scene during the two-hour standoff.
Hopkins was formally charged at noon Friday and denied bond.
Three Florence County sheriff's deputies went to Hopkins' house Wednesday to interview Seth Hopkins, Frederick's 28-year-old adopted son, as part of an investigation into criminal sexual assault. As soon as they stepped out of their vehicle, they were shot without warning.
Seth has also been arrested and charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, but nothing more is known about that charge.
"This a very large, complex puzzle that we're filling the pieces in, piece by piece — what, why and who," Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, whose office is conducting the investigation, told reporters Friday afternoon, CNN reports.
There is no clear motive on why the shooting took place.
Per CNN, here is more on Frederick Hopkins:
Frederick Hopkins was disbarred as an attorney in 1984, four years after he got his law license, according to records. He was ordered to pay $18,000 to a court in Lexington County, an amount said to be equal to the sum of "wrongfully collected attorney fees."
He was charged in 2014 with disorderly conduct, court records show. It is his only known prior arrest.
Hopkins and his wife have nine adopted children, a woman who said she was a longtime friend of the Hopkins family told The State newspaper.
Officials did not provide details about how many children were in the house at the time of the shooting, but Florence County Solicitor EL Clements III told reporters there was a hearing in family court Friday regarding emergency protective custody for the youths.
According to the Associated Press, Hopkins was handy with guns. He was awarded a marksman badge with pistol bar and a sharpshooter with rifle bar decorations during 11 years of U.S. Army service starting in 1966.

MSU earns host of top-10 global rankings
Michigan State University landed 11 top-10 rankings from the Center for World University Rankings.
MSU was represented in a broad range of disciplines, including being ranked No. 1 in applied psychology, also known as organizational psychology at MSU. The program is a mainstay in graduate rankings and was ranked No. 1 earlier this year by U.S. News & World Report.
"I was thrilled to see the organizational psychology program within our department receive this honor," said Juli Wade, chairperson for the Department of Psychology. "It is a clear indication of the high quality of the scholarship of our faculty members and the training that they provide for our outstanding students."
Two MSU programs came in at No. 2 in the center's rankings:
Communications, founded in 1957, prides itself on consistently being ranked in the top three of similiar programs nationally. Earning a No. 2 ranking with the center is another point of distinction.
Education and Educational Research. MSU's College of Education has many points of distinction, including having its graduate study areas of secondary and elementary education ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report for 23 consecutive years.
Other top 10 rankings include:
- No. 4 in Agricultural Economics and Policy
- No. 4 in Toxicology
- No. 5 in Medicine, Legal
- No. 6 in Entomology
- No. 6 in Management
- No. 6 in Nuclear Physics
- No. 10 in History and Philosophy of Science
- No. 10 in Plant Sciences
The Center for World University Rankings says it publishes the only global university ranking that measures the quality of education and training of students as well as the prestige of the faculty members and the quality of their research without relying on surveys and university data submissions.
The ranking started out as a project in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2012 with the aim of rating the top 100 global universities. It was quickly reported worldwide by universities and the media and many requests were received to expand it. In 2014, the ranking expanded to list the top 1000 out of 26,000-plus degree-granting institutions of higher education worldwide, making it the largest academic ranking of global universities.
Since 2016, the Center for World University Rankings has been headquartered in the United Arab Emirates.
