Colombia's record in extending health insurance and health services to its population is impressive. In 1990, around 1 in 6 of the population had health insurance. Now, nearly 97% do, with greatest expansion occurring amongst poorer households. Likewise, in 1993 out-of-pocket spending made up 52% of total national expenditure on health. By 2006, this had fallen to less than 15%. Although Colombia has high rates of income inequality (with a Gini coefficient of 53.5 in 2012, compared to the OECD average of 32.2), access to health care services is much more equal. In urban populations, for example, 1.8% of children aged less than two years of age are recorded as having received no routine vaccinations, compared to 1.0% of rural children. Colombia nevertheless faces important challenges to maintain and improve the performance of its health system. This report looks at Colombia's health care system in detail and offers recommendations on what Colombia can do to ensure accessibility, quality, efficiency and sustainability.
Colombia has significantly improved its health system over the past 20 years, leading to a rise in life expectancy and a fall in infant mortality. To maintain its ambition of universal, high-quality health care, Colombia should now focus on improving efficiency and strengthening financial sustainability, according to a new OECD report.
Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on Australia is the ninth and last in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It concludes that policy thinking in Australia shows well-advanced awareness both of the costs of mental illness for society as a whole and of the health benefits of employment. However, challenges remain in: making employment issues a concern of the health care services; helping young people succees in their future working lives; making the workplace a safe, supportive psychosocial environment; and better designing and targeting employment services for jobseekers with mental ill-health.
The recent mental health reform is an important step towards better services for people with mental ill-health, but Australia needs to do more to help people with mild to moderate mental health issues at and into work, according to a new OECD report.
Australia should improve the integration of care across the patient pathway to prepare for a rise in chronic disease and make the health system less complex for patients, according to a new OECD report.
Australia's health system functions remarkably well, despite operating under a complex set of institutions that make coordinating patient care difficult. Complications arising from a split in federal and state government funding and responsibilities are central to these challenges. This fragmented health care system can disrupt the continuity of patient care, lead to a duplication of services and leave gaps in care provision. Supervision of these health services by different levels of government can manifest in avoidable impediments such as the poor transfer of health information, and pose difficulties for patients navigating the health system. Adding to the Australian system's complexity is a mix of services delivered through both the public and private sectors. To ease health system fragmentation and promote more integrated services, Australia should adopt a national approach to quality and performance through an enhanced federal government role in steering policy, funding and priority setting. The states, in turn, should take on a strengthened role as health service providers, with responsibility for primary care devolved to the states to better align it with hospital services and community care. A more strategic role for the centre should also leave room for the strategic development of health services at the regional level, encouraging innovation that is responsive to local population need, particularly in rural and remote areas.
This new edition of Health at a Glance presents the most recent comparable data on the performance of health systems in OECD countries. Where possible, it also reports data for partner countries (Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russian Federation and South Africa). Compared with the previous edition, this new edition includes a new set of dashboards of health indicators to summarise in a clear and user-friendly way the relative strengths and weaknesses of OECD countries on different key indicators of health and health system performance, and also a special focus on the pharmaceutical sector. This edition also contains new indicators on health workforce migration and on the quality of health care.
Too many lives are still lost in OECD countries because healthcare quality is improving too slowly to cope with ageing populations and the growing number of people with one or more chronic diseases, according to a new OECD report.
The book presents a background study of DRG-based payment systems, drawing on the experience of implementing such hospital funding arrangements internationally, including an overview of developments in the Asia and Pacific region. It underscores the need for countries to be clear about their purpose and objective for introducing Diagnosis Related Groups, as well as their place in health-care financing reform, and for policy-makers to reflect on the importance of country-specific starting points, objectives and context in which the hospital payment reforms are being implemented. Chapter 4 – written by Yuki Murakami and Luca Lorenzoni – investigates the evidence regarding the impact on cost, quality and efficiency of the introduction of a DRG-based payment system.
The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world's large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020.
This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

I just wanted to share my experiences with paid membership plugins here. I have spent a couple of days looking now and have ended up with the free s2member plugin. Along the way I tried wp-wave and the plugins found at WPMU DEV. The two latter were a disappointement (as were all "premium" or commercial plugs I have tried so far) and I wish I would not have spent the money. But let me start from the beginning.

Graffiti Moon -- a review
Cath Crowley
272 pages
What is it about books that take place in one day that make them so tasty? I think my obsession with the One Day Genre started with Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and evolved into something else completely. I even try (unsuccessfully most times) to read them in one day. The One Day Genre book has been rare and elusive with me; only popping up once every few months to please me.
It goes without at saying at this point that Graffiti Moon is a book set in one day. Or, err, night. The book features another favorite of mine: alternating view points. We have Leo, a poet and graffiti artist, whose story is told through his poetry. There's Ed who is a master graffiti artist and high school dropout. Then there's Lucy who is also an artist (a glass blower) and has a psychic friend.
After their last night of senior year the three--and some friends--spend their time wandering around the city. The real story is between Lucy and Ed. Lucy is on the hunt for Shadow (a graffiti artist who happens to be Ed), and the two spend their time talk about art and their futures.
While the conversations between Ed and Lucy were my favorite part I often had to break from the story to Google the artists they were talking about. I needed visual examples of the art because I'm a visual kind of guy. While a minor complaint I can't really blame Cath Crowley for it: my natural curiosity often gets the best of me in these situations.*
There was one thing that stopped me from giving this book my full support. It hinges on the fact that this is a book about nothing. It's often a problem with the One Day Genre. I've made comparisons to Seinfeld and The Big Lebowski before. I think it's truer for this book than previous ones, and I'm not totally against it. We're just getting a glimpse of a few people for one day, and when lives are examined up close it's often hard to distinguished the overarching plot lines from the little ones.
Cath Crowley--while a newcomer to my ever growing collection of One Day Genre books--won me over with a quirky story containing compelling characters that I'll probably never meet again. It was good while it lasted. Which is how these one day books should go.
Full Disclosure: I checked this out from my local library.
*After reading Wanderlove I spent an entire afternoon reading about South America.

I liked this book, the one-day setting, and the quirky characters. I've gotten a few students to check it out of my library and they have given it favorable reviews, so for that I am thankfulReplyDeleteReplies
It is completely praise worthy and enjoyable, I would recommend it to guys and girls.Delete
Are you a fan of one day films too? I didn't know this book was set in one day, I'm curious now especially about the art elements of the book.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am a big fan of one day films! Go, Pulp Fiction, etc. But not the movie One Day. I didn't like that one.Delete
A lot of modern art is discussed. I don't know anything about modern art.
Oh I loved this book! I love alternating POV. I loved all the tension between the couples and also the graffiti. I really love Banksy - I hope he's one of the artists you either already know or looked up. If he isn't, you should. And then there's a really great documentary about him on Netflix - I think it's called Exit Through the Gift Shop. But I'm straying here. Great book, glad you liked it.ReplyDelete
YAY Monday!!Replies
Noted. I will watch that documentary. I like documentaries.Delete
I also really love books that take place over the course of one day (or one night). The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is my favorite of these types of books.ReplyDelete
I liked the beautiful writing of Graffiti Moon, but I felt like there was something missing and was somewhat unfulfilled at the end. I couldn't really put my finger on what was unsettling me at the time, but maybe it's as you said, that this book really is about nothing... and I needed it to be about something?Replies
Oh man. I loved The Statistical P... you know, that title is too long for me to type at the moment.Delete
Yes. It was unsettling. It wasn't a "oh good it's the start of our lives" type of thing. It was "oh crap where do we go from here?" type of thing. Does that make sense?
I really enjoyed reading this one, even though I'm not familiar with the artists that they mentioned. It would have been amazing if they included artwork between the pages, right? Maybe some samples of Shadow's graffiti work?ReplyDeleteReplies
I wouldn't enjoyed that as well. But then I'd spend all my time looking at pretty pictures instead of reading.Delete
I love one-day books, too. (Not counting, of course 'Dustbin Baby') Dude, why do you post so early in the morning? Is that staying up late, or getting up insanely early?ReplyDeleteReplies

These characters are to die for. I love the dialogue between all of them because they are all so interesting. They are all so diverse yet I see myself in all of them. They are still completely relate able Ugh I wish that it was longer because I couldn't get enough of this beautiful writing. I highlighted so many phrases that I admired. This book is by far and forever will be one of my favorites.ReplyDelete

Mamata may be impulsive, but she really cares for the common man
Rajdeep Sardesai in Playing to the gallery (Beyond The Bite, September 21) rightly states that Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee is yet to make the transition from a combative politician to a diligent administrator. There is no doubt that Banerjee gives little thought to the consequences of her actions. But it's also true that she is one of the very few politicians today who care about the common man's welfare. That's why I congratulate Banerjee for parting ways with the UPA coalition on the issue of FDI in retail, which she rightly believes will do more harm than good to the aam aadmi.

The things we did not know
Ayesha Siddiqa's theory that India must realise that Pakistan wants to improve bilateral ties comes as a surprise, as this is the first time we have heard about the real feelings of the common man and the business community in Pakistan (Inch by painful inch, The Otherside, September 24). But her statement that Benazir Bhutto tried to mend ties with India is not true. On PTV, Bhutto openly incited the Kashmiris to revolt against India in the name of Islam.

With reference to the report Pranab, Meira junk junkets until 2013 (Septem-ber 26), it is heartening to learn that the President and the Lok Sabha Speaker have decided to not waste the taxpayers' money on their foreign trips. We hope that other public officials will also take a cue from Pranab Mukherjee and Meira Kumar's decision and think twice before travelling abroad.

I actually was so productive in that I made a decision to face some things I needed to do. I cleaned out areas in my home that needed to be done since we moved in. I was "dreading" doing it. I woke up one day and a thought came to me- IF NOT NOW... WHEN? I realized that I needed to JUST DO IT. I decluttered and freed my space and it felt so fabulous. I think it actually freed my mind. I spent a lot of time doing this PURGE in my home and designing from home (dual duty). I can only say it gave me much peace to face something I had been avoiding.
I wanted to share something that has been on my mind a lot. I am a firm believer in INVESTING in yourself. I believe in surrounding yourself with those that are REAL and love you EVERY DAY... they are with you on the good and bad days and the relationship goes both ways. This is one of my favorite quotes:
I believe we should surround ourselves around those people who LIFT us. They INSPIRE us. They understand and want the best for us. So I love this thought-
I feel this is so true. This is something to think about. I feel that I have always strived to be the friend I want others to be to me.
Anyway, I was most grateful to spend the day with my kids and go to Ty's grave with the all my kids that could come. It was
fun to write messages on paper and send them up to Heaven tied to balloons. We shared many memories and shared dinner at Red Robins (Ty's fave restaurant). I am most thankful for the memories we each have and hold sacred. We would laugh and cry and it was really helpful to do this together.
This is some of the thoughts expressed by the kids:
It's been two years since we said goodbye to Tyler. This morning I was thinking a lot about him and what he's doing in the spirit world. I realized that he's using this time to grow closer to his Heavenly Father and to help others do the same. Today when we went to visit his grave we sent notes up to heaven. We told him what we were going to do to be like him and strengthen ourselves and those around us. Death is hard and we still miss you so much Dad but God's plan is great. I love and miss you than you can say, think, or feel.
Oh I miss this guy a lot! It is strange how grief works. How at any moment something will remind me of him and the tears start to come. It can be the smallest thing. I tell Beckett and Capri stories about their Papa all the time. Sometimes they are the stories that make me laugh. Sometimes I tell them about how hard headed he was and drove me nuts! I think I get some of my stubbornness from him. But I mostly tell them about how much he would have loved them. His Grand babies were his world. It never gets easier missing someone. I can't believe it has been two years since you have been gone. I miss you Dad! Love you more then anything you can say, think or feel!
We spent the afternoon at the grave telling stories and writing messages to send up to heaven. Cooper even drew a picture for his Grandpa. It was a happy day. I cried from wishing his life didn't have to end so soon this morning, but this evening was full of laughter and smiles as we reminisced and told our favorite memories and stories to each other. We ended the day by going to dinner at the only place I remember going out to eat growing up, Red Robin... his favorite restaurant. It's amazing how much has changed in two years, yet I remember conversations vividly as if they occurred today. We miss you Dad! Thanks for watching over us down here.
I am so thankful for my kids that truly lift me. They are my world. I love them and they keep me going. I want to share "our" story because I know so many of you can relate even if your story is different.
So tomorrow is the BIG day. I will open my office during the day for a SPECIAL SALE- all the details are in my previous posts.
10am-4:00 pm
78W 13775 South Suite 8
(right off IKEA EXIT- Bangerter HWY)
All proceeds are donating in Tyler's name to Huntsman Cancer Institute.
*TC wrapping paper ($1), all my books, albums, papers, etc.
I am opening my office for a few hours. I hope you will come and visit us.

An electrostatic chuck can be employed in a plasma reactor chamber to hold a semiconductor wafer onto a wafer support surface within the chamber during plasma processing of the wafer. The electrostatic chuck consists of a flat electrode or conductive grid insulated by a flat insulating or semi-insulating layer over which the wafer is placed. Typically, thin lift pins extend upwardly through the electrostatic chuck to receive the wafer above the electrostatic chuck from a robotic device which is then retracted. The lift pins are then retracted downwardly until the wafer rests on the wafer support surface. A large D.C. chucking voltage is applied to the electrode, typically with respect to a chamber wall ground. The wafer is typically referenced to ground indirectly through the plasma. The application of the large DC voltage to the electrostatic chuck electrode with the plasma "on" produces a large electrostatic force that holds the wafer in place. Plasma processing of the wafer is then performed, after which the lift pins extend upwardly to lift the wafer from the electrostatic chuck to the robot device for removal from the chamber. For high throughput, the lift pins are moved at a relatively high speed during their downward retraction and upward extension motions. The removal of the applied D.C. chucking voltage does not necessarily eliminate the potential difference between the wafer being chucked and the surface of the electrostatic chuck. Residual charge can remain, resulting in an residual attractive force between wafer and chuck. Depending on the magnitude of the residual force and the velocity of the lift pins during their upward extension, the wafer may be broken.
Lifting the pins when the plasma is "on" provides a discharge path for the current caused by the separation of the wafer from the chuck, but if the residual force is large, the wafer may still break.
Some prior art methods use the gas flow rate of a heat transfer gas (such as helium) delivered to the surface of the electrostatic chuck at constant pressure as a measure of residual chucking force. This method generally fails when some portion of the wafer "dechucks", allowing the heat transfer gas to leak out at high flow rate, while another portion of the wafer remains chucked and may be broken in a subsequent upward motion of the lift pins.
Currently, there is no way to detect occurrence of such an error prior to destruction of the wafer.
A related problem is that process failure (due to excessive heating or poor temperature control) may occur if the wafer is not securely chucked to the wafer support surface prior to the start of plasma processing in the chamber. Currently, there is no way of confirming the adequacy of the chucking force prior to the start of plasma processing of the wafer without supplying a heat transfer gas (such as helium) to the surface of the electrostatic chuck at constant pressure and monitoring the gas flow rate as a measure of residual chucking force. However for some applications, in particular at high-bias-voltage, heat transfer gases may break down electrically, causing the wafer to dechuck and potentially destroying the wafer and electrostatic chuck. A method of confirming the adequacy of the chucking force prior to processing is required.
A lift pin assembly for use in a reactor for processing a workpiece includes plural lift pins extending generally parallel with a lift direction, each of the plural lift pins having a top end for supporting a workpiece and a bottom end. A lift table faces the bottom ends of the pins and is translatable in a direction generally parallel with the lift direction. A small force detector senses a force exerted by the lift pins that is sufficiently large to indicate a chucked wafer and sufficiently small to avoid dechucking a wafer A large force detector senses a force exerted by the lift pins in a range sufficient to de-chuck the wafer.
Referring to
A conventional strain gauge 36 is fastened on the surface of the lift table 22 inside the recess 24 facing the bottom side of the spring plate. A foot 38 fastened to the bottom of the spring plate 22 faces and overlies the strain gauge 36. A conventional optical detector 40 fastened to the surface of the lift table within the recess 24 acts as a proximity detector, sensing the axial deflections of the free end 26 c of the spring plate 26. As each lift pin 18 pushes against a wafer 42, the downward force imparted by the lift pin 18 deflects the spring plate 26, moving the spring plate free end 26 c downwardly so that the foot 38 pushes against the strain gauge 36 with ever increasing force. The proximity detector 40 measures the resulting downward deflection of the spring plate free end 26 c. If lift pin 18 pushes against the wafer 42 while a chucking voltage is applied to the electrode 12, then the wafer will resist the upward motion of each lift pin 18, causing the wafer 42 to bend upwardly near its periphery, as shown in
In alternative embodiments, sensors other than the types disclosed above may perform as the low force sensor and the high force sensor. Such a sensor may be provided for each lift pin 18. Such sensors are in the lift pin 18 or coupled to the lift pin 18. Moreover, a single sensor may serve as both the high force sensor and the low force sensor for a given lift pin 18.
In another alternative embodiment, at least one or all of the lift pins 18 may be formed of a semiconductor material (e.g., crystalline or polycrystalline silicon or germanium) or of a conductor (e.g., aluminum). In such a case, a switch 19 may be provided with which the conductive or semiconductive lift pin(s) 18 may be connected to any one of the following at selected times: ground potential, a an electrically floating potential, the ESC electrode 12. The switch 19 may be employed during wafer chucking and wafer dechucking operations to enhance the control of the D.C. wafer voltage. During plasma processing of the wafer, the switch 19 would be set to connect the lift pin(s) 18 to the floating potential.
Operation of the process controller 64 is illustrated in
In an alternative embodiment, after wafer processing, the controller 64 causes the chucking voltage to be turned off (block 82) or may be set to an initial "dechucking" voltage. Preferably, the plasma is on during the dechuck operation to provide a discharge path from the wafer. Preferably, plasma source power is applied for the dechuck operation, but bias power may be used. Preferably the RF voltage on the wafer is low during the dechuck operation. After a time delay, the controller 64 then causes the lift pins 18 to extend upwardly to contact the wafer and then continue further until the lift pins travel a larger distance (e.g., 3 mm) to deflect the wafer by that larger distance (block 84). The output of the force sensor is monitored (block 86). In accordance with this alternative embodiment, during the monitoring step of block 86, the "dechucking" voltage is stepped or ramped through a range of "dechucking" voltages in order to find the ideal de-chucking voltage to compensate for any remnant charge that would otherwise prevent the sensed force from decreasing to the predetermined minimum. When the force sensor output finally decreases to the minimum or returns to zero (signifying successful dechucking—YES branch of block 88) the dechucking voltage is set to zero volts, and the controller 64 causes the lift pins to extend the full distance required (e.g., about 25 mm) to return the wafer to the robot mechanism for removal (block 92). If the sensed force has not returned to zero at this point, then an alarm is sounded to halt the wafer removal process (to avoid wafer breakage) until the chucking force or voltage can be thoroughly removed (block 90). However, because the dechucking voltage is ramped during the monitoring step of block 86 in this alternative embodiment, the probability of resorting to the alarm of block 90 is reduced.
In a preferred embodiment, the controller 64 acts as a feedback loop continuously controlling the upward motion of the lift pins. If the pin force does not fall to a minimum value (e.g., zero) by the time the lift pins have pushed the wafer the large distance (e.g., 3 mm), then the controller 64 immediately halts the pin movement to avoid wafer breakage. This allows the lift pin upward motion to be continuous provided that the lift pin force falls to the minimum level within the required lift pin travel distance.
Optionally, conductive or semi-conductive lift pins may be used to help discharge the wafer-chuck capacitance and facilitate the dechucking operation. The pins may be directly connected to a reference ground or to the isolated electrostatic chuck electrode. Alternatively and preferably, the pins may be switched to be connected to a reference ground or to the isolated electrostatic chuck electrode just when dechucking or chucking, but can remain isolated in normal processing.
In the case of an alarm condition, the controller may optionally re-try a dechucking operation.
The foregoing thus requires two force sensors, namely one capable of measuring a small force (e.g., a few hundred grams) that can be exerted against the wafer to confirm successful chucking without dechucking the wafer, and one capable of measuring a large force (e.g., about 50 kg) sufficient to overcome residual charge-induced force to de-chuck the wafer. In the embodiment of
While the above specification describes an example of a single-electrode (monopolar) chuck, the apparatus and method may also be applied to bipolar or multipolar chucks.
While the invention has been described in detail by specific reference to preferred embodiments, it is understood that variations and modifications thereof may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Summer Salad Love
During Summer everyone wants a body that will fit in the that infamous yellow polka-dot bikini right?
OK maybe it is just me, a mom who has had 3 kids, but still wants the cute little Summer body.
Honestly I am happy with my body and self. This has taken me several years to get here but I can put on a string bikini and not have a care. Most weekends you can find me running around the backyard with my kids in a bikini, because I am happy with myself. If you need help getting to your happy place contact My Kitchen Shrink, Elyse Wagner. She can get you there!
The reality is during Summer I prefer quick meals, to allow more time for playing and sunning. This salad was awesome and Hubby even had seconds.
Summer Salsa Salad with Mahi Mahi
Romaine lettuce
Mahi Mahi
2 tbs GF Mom Certified Fajita Seasoning (found inside Gluten Free Mom Certified Cookbook)
4 Tomatoes
1 Med White or Red Onion
1 Avocado
1 cup Cilantro
2 tbs Honey
1 cup Olive Oil
4 cloves Garlic
Wash and season mahi mahi with fajita seasoning.
Rough chop tomatoes, onion, avocado and mix in medium bowl.
Rough chop cilantro. Peel garlic. Place cilantro, garlic, honey and oil in food processor and blend into dressing. (I used my mini chopper here)
Mix 1/2 of dressing with rough chopped veggies.
Grill the mahi mahi about 3 minutes per a side.
Build your plate with romaine as the bed. Top with Summer salsa, then mahi mahi and add a little dressing to the top.
This is great to eat alone too!

Everyone remembers the time they lost it; Sir Richard Branson, uniquely, has lost it twice. He has lost the right to the sole use of the word "Virgin" after a tiny South African company was cleared to use the phrase: "You can't be a virgin all your life, it's time". Illya Kazi, partner at the lawyers Mathys & Squire, said it was the first time a business other than Branson's enterprises and olive oil companies has won a trademark including the word.
... but mum's the word as Dr Yes moves on
It is clear that Sir Richard will not let the South African setback get to him. He said in an as yet unpublished interview that the best advice he ever got was from his Mum, who "always taught me never to look back in regret but to move on to the next thing... I have fun running all the Virgin businesses, so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve". He added that he would "never say never", adding it had earned the nickname "Dr Yes" from his staff.
Tesco rides to rescue as swine flu looms large
In retail, timing counts for a lot. And judging by the surge in applications for Tesco's pharmacy graduate scheme, the supermarket giant may have got it spot-on with swine flu rising ominously up the health agenda. The grocer has received more than 1,000 applications looking to join this year's scheme, which has delivered 50 newly qualified pharmacists on to the market. Ashley Hicks, the pharmacy director at Tesco, told the Recruiter magazine: "It is crucial that Tesco, and other companies, address the shortage of pharmacists working in the UK before the issue escalates." The Diary couldn't agree more, but finds Tesco an unlikely saviour from the swine flu epidemic.
Los Angeles Times loses its headlines
The newspaper industry in the US is struggling as it cuts costs and lays off staff. The LA Times proved it could do with some sub-editors as it displayed a PDF of yesterday's front page on its website. Unfortunately they had forgotten to put in any real headlines, to general amusement. Luckily blushes were saved by the time its readers had woken up.
Number of the day: 33,000

Real gardeners keep diaries. Some keep incredibly anal planting diagrams, redrawn every time the plot plan is updated; others have scruffy journals filled with seed packets, invoices and sometimes soil cascading out the sides. But the most important thing, which unites the scrupulously tidy with the hopelessly messy, is that they write it all down.
Some diary-keepers are exemplary in their habits: even when she was showing at Chelsea and working 18-hour days, Beth Chatto managed to find the time each day to scribble down notes on the day-to-day work of the nursery, the events of a lecture tour, or simply what had sold best at shows to help her organise the following year's propagating.
But while that level of dedication is admirable, Annie Guilfoyle, garden designer and director of the KLC School of Garden Design, insists that even small snatches of note-taking, seized here and there, are incredibly useful. "Seasonal assessment when everything is growing is really important, because then in winter you'll have your notes to start planning your moving, shifting and cutting back."
Being systematic is essential, she adds. "I go around each bed, and write down what needs doing, what works and what doesn't, because I won't think back and remember, 'I planted that clematis, and it's far too shady, it really needs to be moved.' You walk around when the garden is in full growth, and you think, 'I really should do that,' but by winter you've completely forgotten you ever thought it."
New Year's resolutions are often full of intention for diary-keeping, but still many don't often actually keep them. Yet these days you don't even have to have a physical diary. More and more gardeners are using software such as Google's Blogger to create online garden diaries, charting the progress of all kinds of horticultural activity, from Paperwhite narcissi popping up to Brussels sprouts harvested. Blogger has the double advantage of being both straightforward to use and free. And blogging allows gardeners to link up with other like-minded souls, especially when you use Blotanical, a social-networking site specifically for garden bloggers (now with more than 1,000 members).
Whether you do it digitally or in an old-fashioned diary, keeping records forces you to look really hard at your garden – to stand still and assess. As Guilfoyle says: "Even by picking up pencil and paper, you are committing to stopping and standing, and thinking about how something looks, not just whizzing past and it popping into your head and straight out again."

Diving is a recreational and competitive water sport in which people jump off a springboard or platform into a body of water. Competitive diving has been an Olympic sport for many years, and is judged on a number of factors, including a diver's approach, takeoff and entry into the water. To achieve mastery, you must learn four key aspects of diving.
Starting Position
The first element of diving is the starting position. Whether it is springboard diving, which uses a flexible board, or platform diving, which has an immobile surface, a diver must assume a posture that demonstrates confidence. A diver should maintain good posture with a rigid back, eyes that stare straight ahead and little or no movement of the head. The diver's body should form a straight line, with his head, shoulders and arms creating the appearance of symmetry and length.
A diver's takeoff occurs at the moment that he springs his feet off the board and launches his body into the air. Divers are required to spring from the board with both feet and are penalized if they use only one foot. To generate the greatest amount of height, springboard divers take off from the edge of the board. Platform divers, however, must take a running approach and use their own power to thrust off the platform. The goal is to spring as high into the air as possible before executing the dive, whether it's a reverse, forward or twisting dive.
A strong takeoff creates the necessary amount of space for a diver to move her body into the form required for a particular dive. Divers must keep their arms still until the last possible moment before entry into the water. Judges measure a diver's rotation and flight by noting distance and height from the board, and how quickly a diver's body moves into the correct position to execute the dive.
The final element of diving is the position of entry into the water. A clean entry requires a diver's body to be vertical, with toes pointed and legs touching and fully extended. The angle of entry is affected by many factors, such as sufficient trajectory, proper rotation and a diver's ability to get his body into the right position in a short period of time. Clean entries are characterized by a minimum amount of splashing.

Developing Drupal code has always been interesting and fun because the APIs change a lot between Drupal releases. Other CMS platforms have adopted a more static API approach, resulting in a much slower innovations. One such Drupal innovation has been the entity paradigm that simplified data manipulation. This enabled developers to build more powerful solutions and liberate their brains to remember more important things such as anniversaries and birthdays. Exposing custom data as entities can be done with simpler code and less repetition. Those entities can then be utilized by all modules with very little developer effort. The result: "Good Codes!"

- Went and looked at that KYOU Radio site. I like the idea over all, but.
I looked over their agreement, and essentially they offer publicity, and
in return, I give them permission to use my submitted material any way
they want to, anywhere they want to, for as long as they want to, and give
them permission to use any material in my show from other people under the
same terms, assuming that I already have that permission to give away.
For my own stuff, fine, sometimes. For music & such, I worry.
So I didn't do it. But I still like the idea (he said, wistfully).

How do you kiss goodbye to 15 years of challenging, divisive sui generis electronica?
In the case of The Knife, whose fourth, final and farewell album, Shaking the Habitual, was described as both "utterly gripping" and "unbearably boring" by one critic in the same review, the obvious answer was forming – and performing with – an all-female collective of more than 14 choreographers and set designers.
It's quite a spectacle. The Swedish brother-sister duo responsible for making the music are indistinguishable from 13 or so other androgynous, face-painted dancers on stage. Meanwhile, everyone wears matching blue satin onesies, and it's almost impossible to tell who's playing instruments on stage, and who's pretending. This is indicative of The Knife: Shaking the Habitual was a concept record based on blurring gender norms and it's no surprise their live set should ask questions about a band's relationship to live performance.
And the music itself, when it arrives? A peroxide-blond nymph saws away at a zither the size of a grand piano, uncomfortably low bass hits deep in the stomach, and Karin Dreijer Andersson's voice is shockingly beautiful as it ever was. In other words, perfection.

text: Playing Clint Eastwood is.......................................................... He will actually win about 99% of the face offs. No matter what move you try, no no no. dont even try, he'll still find a way to win it If he starts to cycle it, it will become as if hes on the PP. Jesus i didnt even know what to do but just brace for the artillery shots. if he goes up in a game, even like 1-0, i find myself having to pull a Roy and pull the goalie like 6 minutes in. Which of course worked but WAS WAVED OFF its either my PP is really shit (probably because it is) or his PK is godly shots were I guess you could say even, but he had like the 3-5 shot more advantage TOI was close in the last game, forgot the others - The only positive????- He doesn't play like your typical garbage NHL 17 player who will try to cheese goal every chance he gets, and he plays like a hockey should be played. SCORES: GM1: Flames v. Jets 1-0 (Clint) GM2: Bruins v. Wild (5-2) that game was disgusting Clint (Clint won of course) GM3: Canada v. USA 1-2 (SO-Win Clint) he won the game........by pulling the move Johnny does (The little one were he does the windmill into the goalie) oh and did i mention: I scored a hattrick! A ******* 3 WAVED OFF GOALS HATTRICK CLINT I WANT A REMATCH UNTIL I WIN LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And people, tell me how to win against Clint

To Reach The Unreachable Friend
What do you do about the friend who can't seem to stay focused long enough to return a call/text/tweet/email?
And when you do finally get a reply from them, you can't hold on to it because their communication skills seem to evaporate as they type it.
Let me explain:
After waiting a week for them to reply to your email about making some plan together, they finally email back.
Upcoming Events
Generations from Exile Tribe
TicketsSun., May. 28, 5:00pm
New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
TicketsTue., May. 30, 7:00pm
Helen Sung's Sung with Words

New York City FC vs. New England Revolution
TicketsWed., May. 31, 7:30pm
You've got them!
Alas, their reply isn't conclusive, so you have to email your own reply, asking for more information.
You did so the second you got their email, so you know they're online and available.
But they don't respond!
Two days later, they finally send you a text.
You're thrilled to know they're reachable so you text them right back, begging for more info to pin them down on your plan.
They don't reply!
Three days after that, you notice they've messaged you on Facebook!
You breathlessly message them right back!
They don't reply!
And the same thing happens over and over again with tweets, calls, faxes, and freaking messenger pigeons!
Do these people really just have an attention problem--or are they on some serious crack?
Or maybe there are just too many forms of communication.
In the old days, you either picked up the phone or you didn't.

We need a Windows App Studio features roadmap
Actually we don't know when an update will be released and we don't know what and how many features are coming to Windows App Studio. For example we know that the implementation of Xamarin is "Under review" but we have not any timeframe. People ask me when i'm going to update my apps created with app studio and I have no answer becouse i don't know WHEN Microsoft will update the tool. I think that this is very sad.
