2020 Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards
94 GHP / 2020 Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards , Aug20702 O Best Independent Injury Treatment Provider 2020 – Midlands GHP Distinction Award for Superior Client Service 2020 - Midlands The worst part of being injured is the recovery. It can take weeks andmonths to get back to where youwere originally. The teamat The Injury ClinicMarket Harborough however provide a service that is helping people of all ages to live free frompainkillers, become more mobile and get back to the activities that mean the most. We take a closer look at what they've done to achieve such success in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2020. Based in the heart of the Midlands, the team at The Injury Clinic has spent the last few years finding innovative ways of helping people. Founded by Chris in 2014, the firm is now run in partnership with his wife Sophie who heads up the client experience side of the business. Together they have built a business that embraces the need for physical therapy, underpinned with exceptional customer service. The combination of both has been a key factor in the growing success of the business. Chris, Sophie and their team have made their name in providing a combined approach including a range of manual therapy, medical acupuncture and exercise-based interventions to provide a more complete treatment solution for longer lasting results. As well as this, the team also place a special emphasis on education. They believe it helps their clients to better understand their bodies and injuries, which is key to getting better outcomes. This focus on education gives their clients the tools that enable them to continue to help themselves long after treatment. Those who turn to The Injury Clinic find an advanced system in place, that continues to stay at the cutting edge of technology. Currently, the team are in the process of introducing a Shockwave Therapy service into the clinic that will allow them to provide an even higher standard of service for their current clients as well as also attract a new client base to the clinic. This latest development follows a recent move to bigger premises and expanding the team from a solo practitioner to a team of four; due to the extraordinary demand for the team's services. While the COVID-19 pandemic has placed a strain on the industry, it has not tempered the team's enthusiasm or passion for their work. In fact, it has only spurred them on to further develop the service and experience inline with even more people beginning to put extra value on their health and bodies in recent months. So much expansion has taken place in such a short period of time that the team are continuously coming together to learn and develop their approach to the business. This means not only being conscious of new treatments and practices, but looking at other industries and customer service standards so that the team can better meet the needs of what each client is looking for whether that be health, wellbeing or exercise related. Future plans involve fulfilling ambition to match the extraordinary scope the team have already demonstrated. Not satisfied with their impressive team yet, they are currently on-boarding a fifth member of the organisation. More long-term aspirations involve expanding the scope of offering with the potential to venture into a more diverse range of services in areas such as mental health, women's health and nutritional therapy that would complement the team's current service offering and provide a more lifestyle- based treatment approach to healthcare. It's a way of thinking that has helped a lot of people, and brought the team formidable success. Contact Details: Company: The Injury Clinic Market Harborough Ltd.

Sections of England: the sea horizon
UK TODAY III Fair
May 14th – July 15th 1998
G. Fabian Miller, Section of England: The sea horizon,
1976/ 1977
First solo exhibition in Italy of the photographer Garry Fabian Miller. "Sections of England: The Sea Horizon" is the artist's first body of works, derived from his intimate relationship with the place of his vision, a model that will be often repeated during his career.
All the photographs of this series were shot between 1976 and 1977 from a fixed point, the roof of his own house beyond the Severn River on the sea. The constant features are listed on the basis of place, skyline, lens, film and exposition. The only changing thing is the moment and the artist's relation with the place. The horizon expresses the outline of his known world. Miller's works might be compared in many aspects with the Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto series "Day Seascapes" and "Night Seascapes". What makes the two artists comparable is the subject: the multiform expanse of sea and the sky over it. If Sugimoto shoots in black and white seas only seemingly similar each other but located in different countries and continents, Miller instead takes pictures of the sea from always-identical point of view, in different conditions of weather and light, from the roof of his house in the Severn River's estuary.

MORE than 100 anti-parking charge protesters rallied on Monday to voice fears that Thornbury could become a 'dormitory town with no heart and soul'.
Families and traders gathered outside Turnberrie's Community Centre to share 'grave concerns' about the town's future if free parking is scrapped.
They fear that customers will simply switch to areas with free car parks such as Yate Shopping Centre, Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Bradley Stoke and Cribbs Causeway.
South Gloucestershire Council is preparing to introduce fees in all its car parks as part of its new budget - with council tax and garden waste charges also expected to rise.
The Lib Dem and Labour-led authority hopes to raise £2 million annually from charges, which it says are 'in line' with other local councils.
"There will be a real human impact"
However, a Thornbury Chamber of Commerce survey revealed that 3,000 people were opposed to the scheme, with a spokesperson saying traders were fighting for their livelihoods.
"The imposition of parking charges threatens our town's economy and community spirit, burdening residents and local businesses with additional financial strain," they said.
"The overwhelming response from traders and residents reflects the collective strength of feeling within our community.
"There will be a real human impact. Our tradespeople are already suffering from the impact of poor planning decisions and already find themselves on precarious ground.
"Another financial blow would not merely be an economic setback but in many cases a threat to their existence.
"Thornbury Chamber of Commerce is standing hand in hand with Thornbury Town and District Residents Association to stop the town becoming a dormitory town with no heart and soul.
"We urge cabinet members to reconsider the proposed charges before it is too late."
MP Luke Hall backed the protest saying: "The people of Thornbury have spoken.
"It is clear that there is widespread concern about the council's plan to introduce car parking charges which would cripple businesses, push parking problems to nearby neighbourhoods, hinder access for many, and be another blow to the town's High Street economy.
"Residents were ignored on Thornbury High Street, they must not be ignored on this issue."
The council runs five different car parks in Thornbury including Rock Street, St Mary Street, Thornbury Leisure Centre, Castle Court, and Park Road.
'Phased implementation plan' expected says council
SGC previously called on the government to increase local authority funding.
A council spokesperson said: "The financial settlement provided to the council from central government does mean that in order to meet the £2 million income generation target set out in last year's budget, a scheme of car parking charges will need to be implemented, in line with most local authorities across the country.
"The details of this will be worked up over the coming weeks, with a phased implementation plan starting with council owned off-street car parks before progressing to on-street parking.
"The council recognises that some members of the community have concerns about the potential detail and implementation of charging and so a scheme will be developed that balances the need for the council to balance the books with the needs of residents and businesses to maintain access to shopping facilities and footfall in local shops, for example.
"The specifics of these charges, for example where they will apply and how much they will be, are yet to be determined, but in light of community concerns about the potential impact of this, which was widely expressed in the consultation process, the scheme will include an element of free parking and the introduction of business permits where appropriate.
"In order that these measures do not lead to drivers congesting local residential areas, there will also need to be new regulations to street parking in some areas to protect local residents, and a balance will be struck so that parking near to local shops is not blocked by all-day parking commuters."
The budget is scheduled to be presented to councillors at a full council meeting on Wednesday, February 21.

Plumpton is very much the place to be on Easter Sunday with the £50,000 BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Hurdle an outstanding feature.
4:15 Plumpton: Betfair Hurdle winner returns for Gordon team
It could be one for the sponsor in the £50k feature BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Hurdle (4:15) as Betfair Hurdle winner Aucunrisque tops the 11 in the headline race on an excellent Plumpton card.
The seven-year-old was subsequently well beaten in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival but returns in calmer waters here with the aid of Caolin Quinn's 5lb claim.
Blueking D'oroux landed a competitive Ascot handicap hurdle last week at 50/1 for Paul Nicholls – he certainly will not be that big a price here with Angus Cheleda keeping the ride.
Welsh Champion Hurdle winner Effernock Fizz and Betfair Hurdle third Teddy Blue also feature in what ought to be an ultra-tight heat.
3:25 Ffos Las: Classy Truckers Lodge takes in West Wales National
The 3As Leisure "West Wales National" Handicap Chase (3:25) features plenty of classy veterans, none more so than 2020 Midlands Grand National winner Truckers Lodge for the Paul Nicholls team.
He has enjoyed some good runs in the Welsh National at Chepstow so this could be a slight step down in grade and he can go well here.
The other Midlands National winner in Time To Get Up runs here for JP McManus, Jonjo O'Neill and Kevin Brogan.
4.00 ParisLongchamp: Al Hakeem the one to beat in Group Two
The Group 2 Prix d'Harcourt (4:00) will not be heading to Skalleti this year, with the two-time winner pulled out of the race due to the ground.
That could open up the door for Jean-Claude Rouget's Al Hakeem who was fourth in the Arc when last seen and will be tough to beat.
Group One winner Iresine could put it up to the likely favourite, as well as Haya Zark who has race fitness on his side.
Watch every race from Ffos Las, Plumpton and ParisLongchamp on Sky Sports Racing on Sunday April 9.

Modern Kosmology sees Jane Weaver's melodic-protagonist channeling new depths of creative cosmic energy within. After the huge critical acclaim of 2012's Fallen By Watchbird, followed by 2015's exploratory Silver Globe LP winning her unanimous "record of the year accolades" and hefty measures of radio play-listing Jane Weaver's conceptual trajectory has sent her neo-kosmische penchants to the point of no-return. Jane Weaver's unwaning yearning for psychoactive pop energy has just reached a new level of magnetism. As snowclones go, Modern Kosmology is the new Silver. Another Spectrum to add to the tension.

You spend the time to decorate your home with class, so it makes sense that your home office should have the same appealing look. These classy home office design ideas will allow you to create a space in which you feel pampered, but also productive.
- Opt for a very clean, pristine layout with white walls and furniture with clean, crisp edges. Building shelving and cubbies into your walls helps accentuate this look, freeing up more floor space.
- If you like a more old-fashioned, traditional look, maximize your use of wood. Choose a shiny, finished wooden desk, and build a floor-to-ceiling wood storage unit to house your books, paperwork, and other necessities. Wooden crown molding and a hardwood floor complete the look. Use soft colors, like beige or cream, on the walls.
- For a modern, yet classy, look choose a black and white color scheme. Storage cubes with pull-out baskets are trendy and let your incorporate both colors. Pick a black desk with a white padded office chair, and paint the walls white to make the space feel open.

I am slowly adding and improving to my home that my husband and I bought about 8 months ago. Something about the cobblers children going barefoot? My house's decor is not as much of a priority as my clients' so my projects take
much longer to realize.
much longer to realize.
Recently, I purchased some square, gray fiber pots to put on my front patio. I love these pots from one of my vendors, Cyan Designs. The square shape and gray color had my name all over them.
I wanted something unique to help freshen up my uninteresting front patio. There is nothing like flowers and some green to welcome your guests!
The bonus is that I can see them through my office window.
I love seeing a bit of color whenever I glace away from my computer screen or take a coffee break.
Have you been beautifying with flowers lately? Do tell!

KENNY: Sup, man.
How's it going buddy?
-Good, man.
How are you?
KENNY: Good to see you, man.
Thank you.
-What's up, man?
-What's up brother, how are you?
-Sup man.
Can I see your ID real quick?
KENNY: Andy's cool.
He's my boy.
-Yo Kenny, man, you got these cameras here, dog.
I gotta check his ID.
He looks like he just came from little league practice.
So I just gotta check him out real quick.
PADDY: So this is a Hollywood bar, huh?
I thought there'd be like, head shots
and shit on the walls.
I will take a pitcher of the cheapest beer
you got on tap, please.
Time out.
I think I'm going to have to go bust a move on these little
Hollywood honeys down at the end of the bar.
Work a little magic.
-Here we go.
PADDY: Oh, hello.
PADDY: Hi, how are ya?
PADDY: You ladies--
-Come here often?
PADDY: Do I come here?
I come here a bit, you know, from time-to-time.
You ladies are actresses, yeah?
PADDY: I think I had a class with you.
-Oh yeah?
What class.
PADDY: It was, uh--
PADDY: Yeah, yeah, it was acting.
You might not-- you don't necessarily remember me.
I am an actor.
Just 'cause I'm an actor doesn't mean I'm famous.
I am very well known in Boston.
BRENT: Hey.
PADDY: Hey, how are ya, how's it going?
BRENT: Good.
How you doing?
PADDY: Good, good.
I'm doing well.
BRENT: What class did you say that was again?
PADDY: It was acting.
BRENT: Acting.
Just acting.
Must have been a beginner's course.
PADDY: Yeah, it was for beginners.
It was a good course.
You should check it out.
It was a good class.
BRENT: What'd you like about the course?
PADDY: Frankly, I found it rather superficial.
BRENT: Superficial?
I don't doubt that it was.
I think I remember that course.
It was in between failed auditions and bad Ben Affleck
-Why are you here?
BRENT: Don't worry about why I'm here.
I'm here hanging out with my friends.
These are my friends.
PADDY: I don't understand.
Are we going to have a problem here?
I don't understand.
BRENT: No, no.
No no.
I was just hoping you could give you some insight on the
evolution of the Stanislavski system on the modern actor.
My contention is-- prior to the Meisner technique--
is that the improvisational elements-- especially with
can most aptly be described as both derivative and
PADDY: Let me say-- let me say-- let me tell you
KENNY: Of course that's your contention.
You're a second level improv student.
You just got finished with some
intro group, UCB probably.
You're going to be convinced that til next month, when you
try out Groundings, and then you're gonna be talking about
how active listening and work in the partner keys to
authenticity and believability rooted in character behavior.
That'll last you til next year, and then you're going to
be in here regurgitating Brad Pitt talking about the
usefulness of eating as a doing mechanism and how improv
is all about making choices.
BRENT: Well actually I won't, because Brad drastically
underestimates the impact--
KENNY: Brad drastically underestimated the impact of
distractive behavior predicated upon eating food,
especially junk food?
You got that from Deadline Hollywood, Nikki Finke's Oscar
breakdown, front page?
Yeah, I read that too.
Are you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us, or you got
any thoughts of your own on this matter?
Or is that your thing?
You just come into a bar-- you read some obscure passage and
try to pretend and pawn it off like it's your own idea to
impress some girls and embarrass my friend?
See, the sad thing about a guy like you-- in 50 years you're
going to start doing some thinking on your own.
You're going to come up with the fact there are two
certainties in life-- one, don't do that.
And two, your father wasted $150 grand on film school when
you could've become a reality producer by renting some
cameras and wearing that fucking douche bag headband
BRENT: Well at least I'll have a degree.
You'll be teaching my kids at dance camp while I'm running
trains on supermodels up [INAUDIBLE].
KENNY: Yeah, maybe.
But at least I won't be a fucking poser.
But look, if you want to go outside, we can figure this
out right now.
BRENT: No, man.
It's cool.
KENNY: It's cool?
BRENT: Yeah.
KENNY: Cool.
PADDY: You're goddamn right it's cool!
How do you like me now?
BRENT: I don't.
JIMMY: My boy, wicked big style.
It's three minutes into this place and we already got Brent
trying [INAUDIBLE].
ANDY: At the mail room, there was this agent that told me I
could have a job as assistant but then said that I was too
shy and that I had a speech impediment, so I
said, go fuck yourself.
I swallowed a bug.
CRYSTAL: You're from Footloose, right?
KENNY: What?
CRYSTAL: You're from Footloose.
I've been sitting over there for 45 minutes waiting for you
come and hit on me, but I have an audition in the morning,
and I have to go home.
KENNY: Well, I'm Kenny.
CRYSTAL: Crystal.
KENNY: Crystal.
CRYSTAL: By the way, that kid over there, the
Bret Michaels clone?
He asked us for a threesome.
KENNY: He's a fucking nerd.
Don't worry about him.
He's harmless
CRYSTAL: Good.
Anyways, I'm going to get going.
I have to wake up early and waste some more time on my
Meisner technique.
KENNY: No, I wasn't talking about you.
That was just-- that was him.
CRYSTAL: It's OK.
Here's my number.
I was hoping maybe we could get coffee sometime.
KENNY: Yeah.
Or maybe we could just get together and fuck.
CRYSTAL: Excuse me?
KENNY: If you think about it, it's as
arbitrary as drinking coffee.
CRYSTAL: Yeah.
OK then.
Have a good night.
KENNY: I already said I'm sorry.
JIMMY: Dude.
You just said James Dean is your thing.
So Matt Damon is my thing, and everyone knows Matt Damon is
my thing, so--
KENNY: If I let you do it, will you stop whining?
JIMMY: Yeah.
KENNY: All right, go do it.
Go get 'em.
JIMMY: Hey Brent, do you like avocados?
BRENT: Yeah, I'm from California.
Of course I like avocados.
Well, my boy Kenny right here?
He's going to fuck her.
How do you like them avocados?
-Suck a dick.

Often you'll find bartenders creating inspired cocktails – using seasonal ingredients, herbs from the garden, and from-scratch syrups that range from the simple sugar to berry purees – usually a nice complement to the restaurant's menu offerings.
While this isn't a post to encourage drinking, it is one to think about flavors we associate with the region and the season – like cider, maple, cinnamon, nutmeg – in the form of beverages, non-alcoholic and hi-test, warmed or refreshingly cold.
A raised glass to all Adirondack Almanack readers and safe travels – and many thanks to our designated drivers!
Warming Adirondack Wassail
This is as easy to make for a crowd, as it is for a single serving, and great after a day outdoors enjoying some winter hiking or skiing. Omit rum for a non-alcoholic version.
Per serving:
1 ounce rum
4-5 ounces apple cider
cinnamon stick
3 cloves
slice lemon and orange
fresh cranberries
Place ingredients in a sauce pan and warm over medium heat for approximately 7- 10 minutes; lower heat and simmer for an additional10 minutes. Strain cloves from liquid and serve in a ceramic or heavy glass mug with stick of cinnamon and a few whole (raw) cranberries (optional).
Snowy Nog
This is a recipe adapted from one I learned while I worked for the caterer, Glorious Food in New York – a great holiday treat and so filling it's almost a meal in a glass. If you're an eggnog fan, it's perfect for toasting the New Year and reflecting on our many resolutions.
10 farm-fresh eggs, separated
1 cup super-fine sugar
1 cup Bourbon
1 cup Brandy (or add another cup of Bourbon)
1 quart heavy cream
2 cups half-and-half
Freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly grated cinnamon
Beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and fully blended (save egg whites for another use – maybe a souffle). Slowly add Bourbon and Brandy to egg and sugar mixture and stir well. Refrigerate until chilled (will usually need a couple of hours).
Just prior to serving, beat heavy cream until quite stiff; fold into above mixture. Stir in half and half and mix well.
Ladle into wine or champagne glasses and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and/or cinnamon.
Approximately 12 servings.

Living Retired — 'It's In The Bag-gie'
Living Retired — 'It's In The Bag-gie'
You are reading about it here first: at the Chalk household 'BAGGIES ARE BOSS!'
I am talking about those small clear plastic sandwich baggies you buy at the grocery store to keep your tuna sandwiches fresh. Jan and I use them all the time for everything – EXCEPT SANDWICHES!
"Jan, I am looking for the Crazy Glue. Have you seen it?"
"Yes Dear, I am pretty sure you'll find it in one of the baggies in the laundry room drawer. Probably beside the baggie of plastic poker chips."
"But Gary if you want the wood glue look in a baggie in your workshop beside the baggie of leftover screws from the IKEA shelf you assembled."
We have lots of valuable items that need to be kept safe and secure. This is why we stash them in cheap flimsy baggies. Birthday candles, travel-size containers of OFF! insect repellant, and citronella tealights are put away in baggies.
A hodgepodge of replacement batteries for our television remotes, flashlights, and wine bottle cork opener are kept in baggies. The blister pack of felt floor protectors for our kitchen chairs is in a baggie, along with the warranty instructions for my beard trimmer.
If Jan decides to hang the watercolour painting she is doing, she will be able to find everything she needs – picture frame wire, wall brackets, and screws — in a baggie.
Not to brag, but we have our very own in-home Staples Office Supply Store. Pull open a kitchen drawer and it is all there: baggies of paperclips, yellow florescent highlighters, erasers, Post-It Notes, and not one or two but three glue sticks! Staples advertises, 'That was easy.' I say, 'This is easier!'
And what guy doesn't want his very own in-home Lowes Store? I have baggies of Marr connectors, miscellaneous Allen wrenches, a measuring tape, and a special screwdriver I use to tighten the itty-bitty screws on my sunglasses. Its all there. Lowes advertises, 'Do it right for less.' I say, 'Do it right in a baggie.'
Jan just loves her in-home beauty shop. The bathroom vanity drawers open up to baggies of makeup brushes, mascara remover, emery boards, and eyelid cleansing wipes.
Here is a tip. The next time you are planning a trip instead of going to the bank or a currency exchange store in the mall you can select from the loose change we have accumulated from our vacations. You can choose from baggies of euros, francs, pesos, korunas, and liras.
We also have a 'Mixed Bag of Baggies' drawer. My Dudley combination lock from my gym bag is in its own baggie. Another baggie has a small container of touch-up paint labelled 'Jan's Jeep' – which she traded in back in 2010. I am not making this up, but you can even listen to my last show on the radio – because we have a copy of it on a cassette – in a baggie. Good luck finding the cassette player.
But this barrage of baggies gets worse! We store things that are already in their own package – in a baggie! Staples come in their own little box, right? But at our place we put the box of staples in a baggie. HUH? Same thing for those small containers of Kiwi shoe polish. Seal them in a baggie and the shoe polish is fresh forever.
I wonder what this means to our family when someday they will have to go through all our possessions. Someone is going to be left holding the bag-gie.

US is a short documentary made for Lancashire County Council for refugee week. The idea for the name of the film came from Ola, a Syrian refugee living in Lancashire. US is about informing the people of Lancashire and beyond what it means to be a refugee living in the UK. What it feels like to have to leave your home, your friends, your family, to uproot and be placed somewhere completely alien.
The refugees taking part in this documentary wanted to let people know their experiences of migration without dwelling on the often horrific stories that brought them here to the UK. It isn't about the horrors it's about the personal journey's of discovery they have been on since they arrived here.
Thank you Ola, Yuliia, Balqis, Abid, Yousef, Carolina and Aida for trusting me with your stories.

Envestnet has canceled its Advisor Summit scheduled for April 29-30 in Austin, Texas.
"We have been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19) for the past few weeks, hoping that things might take a turn for the better by the time April 29 rolls around. This does not appear to be likely," the company announced on its website.
This the second big event to be canceled in Austin this month. On March 6, Austin Mayor Steve Adler canceled South by Southwest, an annual tech, music and movie event, due to fear about spreading COVID-19. It was set to begin on March 13.
Envestnet says it "will be promptly refunding registration fees for all attendees," and advisors with questions about the refund process should contact [email protected]. It suggests that advisors who registered for the conference cancel as soon as possible their flights, checking if their airline is offering free cancellations due to the coronavirus, and their hotel reservations.

World-traveling man of intrigue Brad Pitt has joined China's version of Twitter — Sina Weibo — and in his first message hinted that he could be making a visit to the country, which he had reportedly been banned from visiting. Or maybe not.
In a mysterious message posted to Pitt's account the actor simply stated: "It is the truth. Yup, I'm coming." The tweet of sorts got thousands of comments, the AP reports, and has raised speculation that the actor could be headed to the People's Republic. The Inglourious Basterds star was reportedly banned from entering following his appearance in 1997′s Seven Years in Tibet, which offered a harsh portrayal of Chinese rule. However, a few hours after it was posted, the message reportedly was deleted.
Whether the ersatz tweet was an accident, something that was posted prematurely, or simply removed because it was being misconstrued, the actor's cryptic appearance on the microblogging service brings up some interesting issues about the intersection of tech and culture in China. Because even if he's not on his way to the Communist country — which would not be entirely impossible since, as Entertainment Weekly notes, the country lifted the ban on Seven Years director Jean-Jacques Annaud — his presence on the site is still a big get for Weibo and a move that shows the importance of both American celebrities and social networking in China.

A Bill Parcells-coached team isn't allowed to not care, and the anguish was palpable in the Dallas Cowboys' locker room at Lincoln Financial Field as players packed up to get out of town after Sunday's narrow loss to the mighty Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys had squandered a late lead and had given away their chances for a victory that would have made them feel quite a bit better about the direction in which they are headed.
"These are the games that really hurt," rookie tailback Julius Jones said.
Parcells stood before a group of reporters at his post-game news conference and said: "It's extra disappointing when you give quite a bit and you don't have anything to show for it."
That has been the story of the 2004 season for the legendary coach who is trying to take this storied franchise back to its Super Bowl glory.
Parcells's coaching magic was at its most powerful last season, when he returned to the NFL and led a Cowboys team coming off three straight 5-11 seasons under his predecessor, Dave Campo, to a 10-6 record and a playoff appearance. The master was back in his element, doing things that no one thought could be done and turning a loser into a winner. And there was the promise of far, far more this year: No club coached by Parcells ever had failed to improve by at least three victories in his second season with the team.
But Parcells's Year 2-jump with the New York Giants, New England Patriots and New York Jets has not been repeated in Dallas. He cut his starting quarterback, Quincy Carter, in training camp, reportedly after Carter failed a drug test. He lost his veteran safety, Darren Woodson, to an ailing back. He had to play half the season without Jones, the rookie he planned to build his running game around, when Jones broke his shoulder blade.
He has watched the veteran quarterback, Vinny Testaverde, and the veteran wide receiver, Keyshawn Johnson, that he brought in for a reunion tour fail to jump-start his offense. He has watched his defense slip from first in the league rankings last season to 22nd this season. He has tried insulting his players, he has tried coddling them and he has spent much of the season frustrated that, for the first time, he can't find a way to get through.
This season, the game to which he has devoted his life is giving him nothing but misery. The Cowboys will take a 5-9 record into Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins at Texas Stadium. Neither club is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention in the comically forgiving NFC, but Parcells certainly doesn't sound like a contender.
"I think we're a combination of the things that cause you to lose -- turnovers, inability to stop the big play and quite a few untimely penalties throughout the course of the season," he said during his news conference Monday, back at the Cowboys' headquarters. "I would say that there are four to five games in there that we could have won -- could have, I didn't say should have -- with a decent performance at the right time. . . . We'd be in a lot different position. [But] we're where we are because of what we do."
It is Parcells's fifth losing year in 17 seasons as an NFL head coach, and his first since 1995 with the Patriots. His utter exasperation has led some NFL observers to wonder if Parcells, 63, might walk away after the season, two years into his four-year contract. But Parcells has given no hint of that, and those who know him well seem to believe it won't happen.
"You never know for sure what he'll do, and it doesn't really matter what he says or what he thinks now," said one Parcells associate who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to incur the coach's wrath. "He gets so wrapped up in the day-to-day workings of the job, solving the next problem and getting ready for the next game, that it doesn't matter what he thinks until he has a chance to step back and assess where he is and how he feels. But I don't think he'd want to leave on this note, and he has a chance to get better real quick if he can find a quarterback."
The Cowboys will have more than $10 million in salary-cap space in the offseason to try to upgrade their roster with free-agent additions, and they'll have two first-round draft picks in April. There have been no major flare-ups, at least not any that have become public, in the working relationship between Parcells and owner Jerry Jones. Parcells seems to have his running back in place, with Julius Jones having run for 597 yards in five games since returning from his shoulder injury.
But Testaverde is 41 and has thrown 15 interceptions in the last eight games, including two costly ones in the 12-7 loss to the Eagles. Parcells indicated Monday that he would reluctantly consider a switch this week to one of his youngsters, Drew Henson or Tony Romo, and announce a decision Wednesday. For now, though, the Cowboys have to win two games.
"I think right now we just have to worry about Washington," Johnson said after the defeat in Philadelphia. "I think we can't focus on the playoffs at this point. We need to learn right now how to win a football game."

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The majority of U.S. respondents, regardless of political affiliation or age, are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. today, but they believe nuclear energy is a big part of the solution, according to the fifth consecutive ecoAmerica American Climate Perspectives Survey. The annual survey polls preferences and opinions about current and future energy choices and their impact on our lives and environment.
An average of 73 percent of U.S. respondents say they are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. today. Much of their discontent centers on the country's actions to combat climate change, with 46 percent of Republicans, 68 percent of Independents, and 87 percent of Democrats highly concerned.
America is pro-nuclear, and worries about nuclear have steadily declined
When asked about energy choices to address climate disruption, most respondents support nuclear power, because it reliably generates a lot of our electricity (70 percent), helps grow our economy while reducing pollution to our climate and health (69 percent), and keeps America competitive and energy independent (69 percent). They also want nuclear power plants to be kept running until lower-cost renewable energy becomes available (68 percent), are in favor of nuclear because it does not emit pollutants that harm our health or climate compared to alternatives (67 percent), and thousands of years of uranium and thorium are available to power nuclear plants for truly sustainable energy (59 percent).
Americans across all age cohorts and political affiliations want more investment into advanced nuclear options, such as inexpensive, fail-safe molten salt reactors. Support for nuclear research and development has risen, with 61 percent of the population now wanting more focus on developing nuclear energy sources.
Concerns about nuclear lessen in the face of energy insecurity and climate change
Across the five years of the survey, Americans' concerns about nuclear energy have dropped, including worries about waste disposal (now 73%, down from 84% in 2018); health and safety (now 73%, down from 80% in 2018); security and weaponization (now 66%, down from 74% in 2018); cost (now 57%, down from 65% in 2018); and overpopulation/development and loss of habitat (now 61%, down from 74% in 2018).
"With growing concerns about our energy security and climate future, U.S. respondents want to keep existing nuclear power plants operational and invest in next-generation nuclear energy," said Dinara Ermakova, nuclear engineer at Anthropocene Institute. "If the U.S. and Western nations had matched the pace of France's adoption of nuclear energy in the 1980s, we would not yet be observing climate change disasters, and the goal of reaching a safe, stable climate would seem trivial. U.S. respondents agree: it's time to take strong action to make nuclear power a major part of our energy mix."

Think Small, Gain Big
September 10, 2008
No new news here: the residential market is in chaos as people either lose their homes or drastically downsize. Yet, most still want the American Dream—a house of their own. Many who look at smaller digs may not want to go the condo route. They still dream of a cottage on a piece of land, albeit only a tract-size plot. So, perhaps it is time to think really small and tiny houses may be one solution.
TinyHouses.net defines a tiny house as one that can be lived in and includes heat, water and electricity. They can be as small as 8-by-10. The site offers pictures and links to other sources that either design or build these micro-residences.
The Small House Society is an organization dedicated to supporting the research, development and use of smaller living spaces. The website reports it has received as many as 70,000 hits per day, showing the ultimate in "downsizing" is more than a fad.
Jay Schafer started his Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. in 1997 after building and living in a 96-square-foot house because of his concern for the environment.
Tumbleweed Tiny House |
These diminutive dwellings, ideal for one or maybe two people, have a certain appeal. Some are built as guest cottages or a cabin, but many are built as permanent homes. They provide everything in a functional plan for comfortable, albeit simple living. And they're found in every region of the United States.
Some of these homes are not even as large as a 10-by-15 storage unit. They certainly force the occupants to reduce their possessions to those necessary for living, but also allow room for comfort and convenience.
In his Industry Outlook for 2008 published in ISS in February, Steve Ekovich cites downsizing by baby boomers as a factor that will drive the increasing demand for self-storage. Given the acquisitive nature of our culture, many "downsizers," even if opting to live in a tiny home, will still want to hang on to their treasures. And that is really good news for the storage industry. So, as the nation thinks small, it may result in big profits.

Ribnica & tower of torture
You can really have a swinging afternoon in Ribnica, but it feels as if the locals don't actually realise you might like to discover the secrets hidden away here in a medieval town in the middle of green nature that couldn't be a more different Slovenian experience to marching around Bled or Piran.. but it's your choice..
You could easily drive past Ribnica on the by pass and completely miss the best bits that are hidden off a curve on the main high street.. the river, a castle with a tower of torture, a handicraft centre and best of all.. a few km up that hidden road, the aqua coloured spring of the same river that flows under the Napoleon bridge in the centre bursts into life..
Ribnica was the centre of a busy pre industrial woodwork industry. This mini region was absolutely packed with skilled artisans and wood workshops making all things wooden for the house and home. The salesmen then trudged all over Europe with their extensive range of wooden wares carried on their backs. You do get a clue about this at each entrance to the town where there are giant wooden signs with wooden knives, forks and other utensils essential to the wooden heritage of this place.
This town is just an hour from Lipizzaner Lodge along beautiful countryside roads and we will tell you later about several very special green secret places you could visit along the way or close to here so you might be seriously tempted to have a quiet adventure out here in the green paradise that surrounds Ribnica!
So what is there to do in Ribnica?
The key to your visit is to find and park at the Handicraft centre.. there is a bend off the tiny town centre that leads to the river, even if you drive around a bit you will eventually find the river! Just along from here is a large modern non descript building with a big car park and some flags outside..
Handicraft Centre
This would be a good start to your Ribnica adventure as there is a big choice of locally made wooden souvenirs here! It is so rare outside the main tourist hotspots that you can get such a good opportunity like this to buy granny a really good quality pressie from Slovenia!
There are wooden bowls, plates and cutlery, but also so many different household wooden gadgets and decortive items that you might never have imagined you needed until coming here, so you are sure to find something.. Pottery was also an important trade in these parts and you can also find it here in the shop with some beautifully imaginative local creations. We got a really good wine caraffe that looks like something the Romans would use.
This building is also large enough to have pottery and wooden basket making workshops where the locals can learn the trade. We did our tour with the lovely local ladies from the TIC, (Tourist Info Centre) so we mentioned it would be really cool for tourists to be able to sit down for an hour or so and learn a bit about weaving the baskets.. point noted, watch this space.
For the moment we had to be content watching a lady bending bits of hazelnut branch around like a magician to conjure up a wicker basket.
Upstairs there are 2 more floors of local exhibits with examples of many of the wooden products that were made in this mini region and sent out for sale. There is also a really cool drinks machine, but it doesn't dispense pepsi cans.. it is fully loaded with little wooden products! Do go to see this upstairs, as it is a bit hidden away, but for us was the secret highlight of the museum!
Tower of Torture
The perfect place for kids and if Harry Potter visited Slovenia, then he would park his broomstick at the Tower of Torture! Leave your car where it is and just cross the road and go through the walled gates opposite into a pretty little park with a castle. The TIC is located in the castle and you need to go in and get your ticket here to visit the tower of torture.
There are broomsticks hanging up and a spooky metal cage dangling off the tower wall. This person sized mini metal prison is the most chillin exhibit here.. during Medieval times if a young lady was suspected of being a witch they were put inside one of these gruesome cages and lowered into the river.. if they survived then they had to be a witch.. so they were then burned! And guess what.. if they died, then they were innocent of all charges and not a witch.. very useful!
Inside the tower there is a clanky staircase up with nasty devices of torture everywhere to scare the kids and a witches cauldron with interesting recipees for potions. You also get to go into a side room in the castle where there are more exhibits about the local wooden handicraft industry, including lots of photos of the people and the old days and a device for making the baskets called a "hedgehog".
Napoleon Bridge and the town centre
The centre of Ribnica is very photogenic with an arched bridge crossing a pretty river and the castle & tower in the background. The bridge was constructed in Napoleon times while his armies marched across Slovenia to the East and has 4 lovely stone arches bouncing across the river.
The bridge is impressive enough with 4 arches, but it actually had 5.. there is a reason the 5th arch was destroyed and we absolutely cannot remember, but it is a great reason, so answers on the back of a postcard to Lipizzaner Lodge please!
There is a lovely looking cafe in the rose covered castle gardens, but when we visited, it suffered from the strange Slovenian obsession for playing loud music in a place where you just want to sit quietly and enjoy the culture with a cappucino!
Source of the Ribnica River
Little did we know that our biggest surprise of the day came when the ladies at the TIC casually mentioned the source of the river Ribnica being close by.. our ears pricked up at this and we interrogated them further as you must do here to get good directions, (local people always seem to underestimate the abilities of mere mortals from outside Slovenia and don't realise the difficulty us foreigners have to find places only marked with signs in Slovenian or red dots).
Sufficiently mapped up, off we tootled to find the start of the path.. You drive out of the town on the road by the handicraft centre to a very grand local manor house where there is a car park and the start of a hiking path.. apparently!
Having failed miserably to find the start of the path, our upgraded advice is to drive to the start of the souce, particularly if it has been raining a lot. We hope you might find it if you want to, but we decided to follow the map and drive on a forest road to get to the source of the river instead.
The road is tarmac to start with and actually crosses the river at one point.. we made a few wrong turns, but eventually found the turn onto the forest track to the springs.. (we have a photo of the turn below in our gallery so you know the exact spot as you will not find a sign in English)!
The one lane track went down and round and down through thick green forest and we were just at the point where we thought we had taken another wrong road when we spotted a small space for parking at the side of the road and a path going off into the forest.
We walked back up the road a bit first as we had spotted water on the other side of the trees and we were getting more and more confident this was the spring. So we looked for a way down from here.. there isnt a way down, but as we turned to walk back to the car we were facing a female deer just 20 metres from us.. she had strolled out of the trees onto the track without noticing us.. we stared at each other, thick green forest all around, no sound, apart from fierce running water and we were so happy that we were at this place in time in Green Slovenia.
We cannot guaruntee you will see a deer here, but we can guaruntee you will not see one in the centre of Ljubljana or walking around lake Bled with the other tourists.. Of course you should absolutely visit those fantastic places, but we want you to know that Slovenia is absolutely fill of hidden secret natural treasures such as the Ribnica springs and there is a very good chance you will see these amazing places with nobody else around for company.. or maybe with a deer!
Our attempt at a photo was pathetic as the deer legged it and was gone.. we see a lot of different animlas on our adventures in the Slovenian forest and our best advice is just to watch and enjoy them and to resist the reflex to take a photo as they are gone in a flash of a white tail.
After this excitement, we took that only path back at the car and tip toed into the forest. Now we can tell you that this path is the END of the path that we couldn't find earlier and it pops out next to a stone dam construction that you have to climb onto, keep your balance and approach the springs of the river.
There had been quite a bit of rain in the previous days, so we were thrilled to see a massive swell of aqua blue water seeping out from under the trees and sailing off past the dam. What with the deer and this exclusive sight of a river beginning its journey, we were very very happy and felt a part of nature.
This really was our lucky day as the wooden boardwalk that pretty much ended the hiking path from the town to the spring was submerged under a couple of foot of crystal clear water.. so if we had found the path, we would not have made it to the source!
So Ribnica is an option for a bit of culture & horror with a bit of Green Slovenia mixed in. It can easily fill half of a wonderful day out.. we really recommend you drive to the springs, but if you do walk, just be sure you have the right path and a bit of extra time. Oh yes and by the way, Springs in Slovenian is IZVIR, if you need to ask a local.
There is a decent restaurant close to Ribnica town centre, but why not have a picnic somewhere near the Ribnica river springs.. we found some submerged picnic tables, but we figure most of the year these tables would not be under water and a perfect spot to have a picnic here.
Why the Fish on the Flag??
On the outskirts of Ribnica is a large empty lake where a huge fish used to live.. He was great friends with the local giant and used to help him find smaller fish. But one day the locals got greedy and caught the big fish for themselves.. the giant went bananas and bashed his fists so hard on the lake that it emptied and the locals never had fish here again!
Every Slovenian mini region or "municipality" has their own sign, often associated with a legend and it is something to look out for as you whizz from region to region, but we particularly love this legend.. is it true we hear your 12 year old daughter asking?! Well, Ribe means fish in Slovenian.. Ribnica..Ribe..
What other Treasures can I mix with Ribnica for the perfect Day out?
We have two main recommendations for you, but there are soooooo many you could do.. The roads to Ribnica are green and packed with little places you could visit. We think a morning trip to the biggest disappearing lake in Europe, Cerknica would be a perfect match with some lunch on the way to Ribnica.
But you could also do a larger loop in the opposite direction and go first to a proper castle at the fab Turjak then drive the short distance from there to Ribnica.. and there would still be time for a short visit to lake Cerknica on the way back.
Between Ribnica and Cerknica, there is another local legend at Sodrazica with a giant "DogFrog" statue and only a short hop from here are the mini Kadice Springs where another river begins its journey in the middle of a hidden forest.. What a day!

(Rolling Stone) Making her Penn Live Arts debut, the classically trained, 2021 Grammy®-nominated harpist celebrates her musical hero Alice Coltrane's otherworldly album, Ptah, the El Daoud, with additional Coltrane favorites and music from Younger's 2021 album, Somewhere Different. "Younger has almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harp's role in contemporary jazz," (The New York Times) and this immersive concert experience will surely illustrate why.

Hochul Proposes Medicaid Expansion for Seniors and Disabled, Marking a Shift From Past Governors
Two proposals in Governor Kathy Hochul's State of the State would constitute the most significant expansion of New York's health plan for low-income individuals in years.
New York Focus has published thousands of pages of county jail oversight records. Browse them in our database.
New York's incarcerated population has been declining for decades. Why is it so hard for prison closures to keep pace?
Hochul's budget would level off funding for addiction treatment — and use opioid settlement funds to fill the gaps.
The average New Yorker has to travel nearly 10 miles to access methadone, a New York Focus analysis found. Upstate, they have to go even further.
The governor has neglected to announce a public emergency over the increasingly deadly opioid epidemic. Observers are perplexed.
Police training materials link the discredited "excited delirium syndrome" to synthetic marijuana use.
Her administration says the fund won't be harmed. Legal experts question whether she can take it at all.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law directed billions toward public transit in New York, but the state is choosing to spend billions more on highways.
The governor and the Senate have aligned on large swathes of the NY HEAT Act. The Assembly might be ready to move on it, too.

Harry and Meghan news: Meghan echoes Kate's Boston look at NYC awards ahead of bombshell Netflix documentary
Meghan Markle echoed Kate's Boston look as she and Harry attended the 2022 Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award gala in New York on Tuesday night.
According to Vogue, Meghan Markle chose a custom white off-the-shoulder dress by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton.
The fashion magazine says it is the first time that Meghan has worn the French label at a high-profile public event. Meghan also wore an aquamarine ring from Princess Diana's personal collection, which she also wore on her wedding day.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who travelled via private jet from their home in California, were seen arriving in the city on Monday ahead of the awards.
They were honoured at the Manhattan gala alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and late NBA star Bill Russell for their work "to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights".
The royal couple's trip comes just days before the first instalment of their highly anticipated Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan will be released, with the first three episodes to be released on Thursday 8 December. Three additional episodes will be released on Thursday 15 December.
Follow along with the latest updates about Meghan and Harry's trip to New York City below.

"I was kind of shocked for them to come here and do this," the actor said at the Ripple of Hope gala blue carpet.
"To handle difficult circumstances in the press without having too much difficulty. There's always going to be certain difficulties."
Baldwin joked that he might become "their driver" and lauded them for having "chosen a different path."
"They're newly arrived in the states. They haven't been here that long. I think it's great that they have agreed to support this cause which we've supported for years."

The trailer also included a shot of Meghan and Harry photographed from above during their visit to Archbishop Tutu's residence in Cape Town.
However, after the release of the trailer, Robert Jobson, the royal editor of the Evening Standard, claimed that the photo was not taken without the couple's consent.
"This photograph used by Netflix and Harry and Meghan to suggest intrusion by the press is a complete travesty," he wrote on Twitter.

The duke and duchess have also faced criticism over the trailer for their upcoming Netflix documentary, after fans noticed that many of the photos used appeared to be taken at events where Harry and Meghan were not present.
One photo used in the trailer appeared to have been taken in 2011, during a Harry Potter premiere, while another clip included in the trailer, which is meant to depict paparazzi surrounding the couple, appears to have been taken when Katie Price arrived at court in December, according to the BBC.

The couple's mode of transportation sparked criticism from royal fans, with many questioning why the couple did not fly commercial, especially considering the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in Boston last week on a British Airways plane.
"I thought they were supposed to be net zero by 2030? Hypocrites," one person tweeted after the couple's arrival.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have found themselves embroiled in a controversy of their own ahead of tonight's awards, after they arrived in New York City via private jet on Monday.
The trip marked the second time in a week that Meghan has travelled by private plane.

While Meghan and Harry have not commented on the timing of their Netflix documentary, the couple may use tonight's Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award gala to make a statement.
The cocktail hour for the event will begin at 6pm, while dinner will follow after at 7pm, according to the website.
Tuesday 6 December 2022 22:31 , Chelsea Ritschel
As for how the royal family feels about the couple's upcoming documentary, it is currently unknown. However, some have suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attempted to take attention away from the Prince and Princess of Wales with the timing of the release of the first trailer, as it came as William and Kate touched down in Boston last week.
"The fact that @netflix dropped this Harry and Meghan documentary trailer when Catherine and William are visiting the US in Boston… oof," one person wrote. "Seems like the timing was intentional. @NetflixUK likely makes those decisions but still, oof."

Following the exchange involving Lady Hussey, who happens to be one of Prince William's godmothers, a spokesperson for the Prince of Wales said racism "has no place in our society".

In light of the incident, which saw Lady Hussey resign from her role as a royal aide following the incident, some royal fans noted the previous connection between the member of royal staff and Meghan Markle.
According to Tom Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors, Lady Hussey was reportedly directed by Buckingham Palace to help the Duchess of Sussex settle into royal life prior to her wedding to Prince Harry.
In the book, Bower also alleges that the royal aide had her doubts about the couple's relationship, with the royal author claiming Lady Hussey once said the royal marriage would "end in tears".

The timing of the award for the couple's stand against "structural racisim" is also fitting considering it comes after the royal family found itself embroiled in a racism row.
Last week, as the Prince and Princess of Wales travelled to Boston for the Earthshot Prize, the attention was on the late Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, who made "unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments" to Ngozi Fulani, a Black advocate for survivors of domestic abuse.

Although the timing of the couple's award is fitting considering the themes they are expected to explore in their Netflix documentary, Elle notes that the trip was scheduled before Netflix revealed the dates the docuseries would be released.

"They knew that if they did this there would be consequences, that they would be ostracised, they would lose their family, their position within this structure, and that people would blame them for it. They have done it anyway because they believed they couldn't live with themselves if they didn't question this authority. I think they have been heroic in taking this step," Kerry, the daughter of Robert F Kennedy, continued.
Tonight's award ceremony, which will be hosted by Alec Baldwin, will see the couple accept the award alongside recipients such as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Tuesday 6 December 2022 19:39 , Chelsea Ritschel
According to Kerry Kennedy, the royal couple was chosen for the award in part because of their attempts to address "structural racism" within the British monarchy.
"They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn't have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health," Kennedy told Spanish news site El Confidencial's Vanitatis magazine.
Tuesday 6 December 2022 19:25 , Chelsea Ritschel
It is not clear whether the couple, who are tonight accepting the Robert F Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award, will address the upcoming documentary during their time in New York City.
Tuesday 6 December 2022 19:00 , Chelsea Ritschel
As for what viewers can expect of the six-part series, Netflix states that the project will explore "the clandestine days" of the couple's early courtship and "the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution".
"With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family's relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple's love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other," the description adds.
Tuesday 6 December 2022 18:45 , Chelsea Ritschel
The documentary's upcoming release comes despite October reports that Netflix had delayed the release after backlash over the timing of season five of The Crown, which aired shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The couple is also reported to have edited their Netflix documentary following the monarch's death, in an effort to make it "kinder to the royal family".

The documentary is also expected to see the couple criticise the "hierarchy" of the royal family, and potentially expand on accusations they made during their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
"You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories," Harry says in the trailer, before reflecting on his mother Princess Diana's experience marrying into the royal family. "The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy."
"I realised, 'they're never going to protect you,'" Meghan adds.

The trailer promises the couple will delve into the reasons for their 2020 departure from the royal family in the Netflix docuseries, while offering insight into the "other side of their high-profile love story".
However, the trailer has faced scrutiny since its release after photos included in the promo were identified as being taken at events where Harry and Meghan were not in attendance, such as a 2011 Harry Potter premiere.

The award coincides with the upcoming release of the couple's highly anticipated Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, in which the duke and duchess are expected to open up about their experiences as senior members of the royal family before their decision to step down and relocate to California.
In a trailer shared on Monday, ahead of the release of the first volume of episodes on 8 December, Prince Harry notes that there's a "hierarchy of the family" and suggests that stories were "planted" against Meghan during their time as senior royals.

According to Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F Kennedy, the duke and duchess were chosen to receive the prestigious prize because of the "moral courage" they have displayed against injustice.
Kerry discussed the decision to honour the couple during an interview with Spanish news site El Confidencial's Vanitatis magazine, where she acknowledged her own father's work highlighting the importance of "racial justice".
"When my father went to South Africa in 1966, he spoke in front of a white audience and said that the problem in this generation is talking about racial justice. He also spoke of moral courage, saying that few would have the courage to question their colleagues, family and their community about the power structure they maintained," Kerry said. "And this is what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done."
Tuesday 6 December 2022 16:25 , Chelsea Ritschel
The criticism also comes after Meghan relied on a private plane last week, when she boarded a plane in Indianapolis after appearing at a female empowerment event in the city.
However, sources have told The Independent the duke and duchess travelled on a plane that was already going from California to New York for Tuesday's event.

The couple's arrival in New York City ahead of the gala has not been without controversy, however, as many have criticised the duke and duchess for travelling via a private jet.
"Hmm... private jet again... clearly setting us all a good example," one person tweeted, while another said: "No care for the environment."
Among those criticising Harry and Meghan was Piers Morgan, who described the circumstances of the couple's arrival as "beyond parody".

The annual award ceremony honours "exemplary leaders across government, business, advocacy, and entertainment who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social change and worked to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights," according to its website.
This year's laureates, which include the duke and duchess, as well as Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, Brian Moynihan, chief executive officer of Bank of America, and late NBA icon Bill Russell, have "prioritised equity, inclusivity, and sustainability in the workplace and the world".

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in New York City via private jet on Monday. For the trip, the couple dressed casually, with paparazzi photos showing Meghan wearing a black long-sleeve shirt and dark sunglasses, while Harry opted for a white button down, black pants and a blazer, which he held in his hands.

988: FCC to create a three-digit, nationwide suicide prevention and mental health hotline
988: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is moving forward with a proposal to create a three-digit, nationwide suicide prevention and mental health hotline, the agency announced Thursday.
The FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau and Office of Economics and Analytics submitted a joint report to Congress on Wednesday laying out its recommendation for the new hotline to be designated 988.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said he intends to act on the recommendation and move forward with rulemaking.
"There is a suicide epidemic in this country, and it is disproportionately affecting at-risk populations, including our Veterans and LGBTQ youth," Pai said in a statement. "Crisis call centers have been shown to save lives. This report recommends using a three-digit number to make it easier to access the critical suicide prevention and mental health services these call centers provide."
A year ago, President Trump signed the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act, a law that directs the FCC to begin creating the new line, similar to a nationwide 311 or 911.
The number for the current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255.

This study was done to develop an understanding of what determines a sexual harassment victim. The purpose was to determine if women, who are unskilled and lower paid, have a higher risk of being sexually harassed.
The survey was conducted in the St. Louis area. The sample consisted of both men and women working at various skill levels and incomes. There were 201 respondents, consisting of 132 women and 69 men.
The survey results were analyzed and compared to surveys taken in other geographical areas. This was to determine if there were any differences based on demographics.
The findings of the survey did not support the hypothesis. The St. Louis survey and the other surveys researched showed that a woman's skill level and income were not the main determinants of sexual harassment victims. The surveys showed that age and marital status were the main characteristics that determine a harassment victim. The surveys showed that single women between the age of 25 and 35 were more likely to be sexually harassed.

My old netbook is currently seven years old, and shows its age : boot times up to two minutes, working in Chrome was a drag and took ages. And I'm not even talking about performing updates. All to blame on the slow CPU (never again an Atom !) and the slow hard drive. The last two occasions I used the laptop was on Config Management Days and Red Hat summit, and I can tell you the experience was unpleasant. So a new laptop was needed.
Luckily, the laptop market has reinvented itself after it collapsed during the tablet rise. Ultrabooks are now super slim, super light and extremely powerful. My new laptop needed to be :
- fast : no Celeron or Atom chip was allowed. An i5 as minimum CPU
- beautifull : I need a companion to my vanity. No plasticky stuff, well build and good quality.
- well supportive for Linux : Linux would be installed, so the hardware needed to be supported
- reasonable cheap : speaks for itself; a lot of nice ultrabooks are available, but I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg.
- light and small : I carry this everywhere around the world, so the laptop shouldn't weigh more than 1.4kg
Soon, I saw 2 main candidates : first, the Dell XPS13 still is regarded as ultrabook king. It supports Linux nicely, and has that beautiful Infinity display. Disadvantages were that it was on the heavy side, and I wasn't fan of its design either. And a tad on the expensive side as well.
On the other side, there was the Asus Zenbook 3 (UX390) which was stunningly beautiful, had a nice screen as well and was extremely light with its 0.9 kg. However, I saw the silver variant in the shop, but found it a bit on the small side. So when I saw its 14 inch brother, UX430UQ, I was immediately sold. This is a 14 inch laptop - it is advertised as a 13inch laptop with a 14 inch screen, but don't believe that - which is as light as 1.25 kg, has a nice dark grey metal spun outerior and excellent keyboard and screen. Equipped with an i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM, it doesn't fail to deliver on the performance field. Shame that Asus doesn't provide a sleeve with this laptop, as it does with the UX390. Also, important, it doesn't has a safe lock hole, so don't leave this baby unattended.
I wiped the Windows 10 and booted the Fedora netinstall CD, but it seemed that both WiFi and trackpad were unsupported. I lost quite some time with this, but eventually decided to boot it with the Fedora LiveCD, to find out all was working out of the box. Probably the netinstall CD uses an older kernel. I baptised the laptop Millenium Falcon, as I switched to spaceship names on my hardware lately.

Nigeria's Lucy Ejike once again demonstrated her superiority in the women's up to 67kg event as she claimed gold at the World Para Powerlifting Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Ejike endured a disappointing outing at the Tokyo Games but rebounded admirably in Georgia to win her third world title with a lift of 126kg to edge China's Yujiao Tan (125kg) and Fatma Omar of Egypt (122kg).
Ejike's third world title equals her Paralympics haul of three gold medals and ensures she remains the preeminent force in her field.
It has been a fantastic outing for Nigeria at the tournament with Onyinyechi Mark narrowly missing out on gold by just 1kg after her lift of 131kg was bested by Mexico's Amalia Perez who lifted 132kg on her third attempt to claim top spot in the women's up to 61kg. China's Rui Jianjin was third with 121kg.
Meanwhile, Esther Nworgu also claimed a podium finish in the women's up to 45kg as she lifted 98kg to win bronze. Guo Lingling of China won gold with a lift of 109kg while Clara Fuentes of Venezuela claimed silver with 99kg.
At the close of competition on Wednesday, Nigeria occupied third place on the medal table with three medals (one gold, one silver and one bronze medal. China leads the medal standings with six medals (two gold, two silver, two bronze) followed by Egypt in second place with four medals comprising two gold and two silver medals.
