GP workforce figures compound fears of a workforce crisis
The number of GPs in England only increased slightly in 2012, compounding fears that the profession is in the midst of a workforce crisis.
Official figures reveal that GP numbers increased by only 485 from 2011 – a rise of 1.2% – much lower than the average annual increase of 2.2% over the past decade.
These figures come as practitioners say they are unable to find new staff, which is leading to increasing workloads.
The NHS staff census figures, published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, revealed that the increase in GPs was far outstripped by the 3.3% increase in the number of consultants rose by over the same period despite the Government's stated aim of moving towards a primary care led health service.
Since 2002, the GP workforce has seen an overall increase of workers by 24.7%, whereas consultants have increased twice at quickly at 49.2%.
Experts fear these figures represent a mounting problem where students increasingly choose against pursuing careers as GPs, which is combined with increasing numbers of experienced GPs retiring early.

Investigation: Why has recruiting GPs become so hard?
Dr Richard van Mellaerts: 'Recruiting people has become an arms race'
Dr Barry Lewis, chair of the committee of GP education directors, said: 'Unfortunately, the figures continue to demonstrate the imbalance in recruitment and future workforce we have raised for some time.
'If the NHS is to deliver an effective system of primary care that we know from research is the most cost effective way of delivering compassionate, safe and effective health care, we need a significant shift in career intentions and choice by those in medical school and other undergraduate health care courses.'
Dr Richard Vautrey, deputy chair of the GPC said the figures could be worse than suggested in the report.
'I suspect that this is head count rather than whole time equivalent,' he said. 'Which means, as many new GPs are part-time, there is an even smaller rise in the GP workforce at exactly the time that practices are under huge workload pressure.'
Professor Irish, a GP in Bristol who chairs a group on workforce as part of a Government taskforce on boosting GP numbers, said any increase is better than no increase.
'This reflects a lot of hard work on behalf of the deaneries and schools of general practice to achieve this,' he said.
'There is still a long way to go, clearly, before we come close to the DH target or 50% of the output of GPs going into general practice.'

Why don,t we in the UK have something like this- http://www.iheartmygp.com.au/
I am sick of the negative press we are getting.
Type my "GP is" into google and you get '" my GP is useless" or "rubbish" coming up as the most searched.
I can,t believe I am posting anonymously also, as I am also sick of the Trolls who respond in a" well you are overpaid etc.." style back to our posts. When I was A child doctors were well paid, I knew that, thats part of the reason I became one. Now I have to write something like " not the only reason, I also care " which was never questioned when I applied to Medical school!of course I care if I didn,t I would have become a politician!
Please can we do something for our morale!
Same old whiny record stuck in a groove:can't recruit so general practice/NHS in crisis, atishoo atishoo we all fall down.
You need to think of a different propaganda strategy.You exist only because the sheltered environment of the NHS allows you to do so.You guys are not specialists and if you were exposed to the full fury of market forces you'll be completely dispensed with.The public doesn't need to pay you lot 100 grand/yr for "communication skills".General practice should be phased out completely.
Anonymous 10:04
I do not think we are paid that for our 'communication skills', good that they are. I think it is for our generalist skills. Most of us save a few lives each year that would have been lost, because the patient has not realised the significance of certain symptoms and signs.
My last 'save' was a chap who had been sent by the pharmacist to get some aciclovir for his 'shingles'. He had streptococcal septicaemia and spent a week in ITU. How about the chap who just wanted some painkillers for his back pain. He had an aortic aneurysm that was just about to pop. Thanks to me he was operated on that day.
£100,000 , I wish! Cheap. Ask those patients.
1.11 I agree. GPs are rubbish at telling everyone how good they are at their job. From the major things like you mentioned (My most recent was picking up a baby with a torn frenulum at his sister's appointment - admission - multiple injuries - in hands of police). To the very minor but incredibly important (annoying ACE cough, eczema meaning cannot work etc).
When it is put into the hands of lesser trained/ cheaper people if unsurprisingly goes wrong (OOH/ 111/ APMS).
All for 20% of the cost of gym membership and less per patient per year than half of one outpatient appointment.
10.04, I don't know if you are medical or have an idea what general practice involves. I think you are neither, you may have had a bad experience most likely and so behave like a scarred individual reacting the same way to a common heading. If general practice is phased out, you and your loved ones in times of need will have nowhere to turn to and those questions which preoccupy you will remain unanswered. Or you could see a specialist but there aren't many specialists who deal with undifferentiated illnesses and unpiece it (i.e General Practice)
I agree with Anonymous | 22 March 2013 10:04pm.If GPs were that good they would have stayed on in hospital medicine where the real high intensity medicine happens.But instead you have a bunch of failed (may that's too strong a word.Let's say inadequate) bunch of doctors who opt for the easy route working in the community spending most of their time reassuring the worried well.To train a doctor to do that is a huge waste of taxpayer's money.A doctor's place is with the needy and the sick,i.e.in hospital.
Well there we go commentators have solved general practice problems. We are not needed as doctors are only needed where the sick are, these places are hospitals. We are fools to ourselves and must take our inadequate skills elsewhere. I am sure the cough, tinnitus and mole you have will be assessed by the respiratory, ENT and dermatology specialists in no time at all.

Usually paraphimosis does not heal itself.
Don't wait, immediately reposition the foreskin at its usual position covering glans penis.
How long does paraphimosis last?
Paraphimosis can last for several days. The pain and swelling (ballooning) are unbearable. Left untreated there is a possibility of damage to penis by necrosis.
Foreskin ( Prepuce ) gets rolled behind often during vigorous sexual intercourse or masturbation.

Wow Sight & Sound director Con Nicolas says if the highest-selling products of 2007 are anything to go by, flat-screen TVs, laptops and handheld navigation will be the hot gift items for Christmas and into the 2008 sales season.
Nicolas says his electronics chain, based in Queensland, has been "flooded" with requests for these electronic products, in addition to games consolers, digital cameras and MP3 players.
"Everything from flat screen televisions to digital cameras will be highly sought after as electronics and entertainment equipment becomes an increasingly affordable Christmas gift option," he said.
"Many of our suppliers are also fuelling demand by offering exclusive gifts to accompany Christmas purchases such as $25 fuel vouchers on selected navigation systems, LCD or surround sound with selected LCD panels and up to $149 cash back on selected laptops and desktops."
Wow Sight & Sound says the following products will be hot property over the coming weeks:
1. Flat panel screens
Ranging in price from $299 to $5,999, flat panel televisions will boost Christmas sales figures significantly, says Nicolas. Some of the most popular brands include LG, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp, Acer and Vue.
2. Handheld navigation devices
With the price of handheld navigation devices continuing to fall they are fast becoming one of the most popular electronics gifts available. Ranging in price from $196 to $799, Garmin, Navman, TomTom and Navtrack handheld navigation devices will be sales winners this Christmas, says Wow.
3. Games consoles
Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii and XBOX game consoles are toys suitable for all ages and, therefore, a guaranteed top seller this Christmas. Starting from $348, game consoles are an affordable gift option for the kids, both big and small, said the company.
4. Digital cameras
Both hard drive camcorders and digital still cameras are always a popular choice at Christmas. Nicolas says that with Wow's digital cameras ranging in price from $98 to $1499, there is a product to suit every application and budget.
5. Mp3 players, iPods and iPod docking stations
It's no surprise MP3 players and iPods top the most popular Christmas gift list but a new addition to the category is the iPod docking stations, says Wow. Starting from $95, these products are available from iPod, Samsung, iRiver and Nashi.
6. Laptops
While personal computers are a necessity in today's internet age, many consumers are opting for the flexibility and affordability that comes with laptops which start from as little as $595. Toshiba, HP, Asus, Acer and Compaq are among the more popular brands sold at Wow Sight & Sound.
According to Nicolas, the retailer has developed a system that works.
"We have a proven system in place for handling the Christmas rush," he said.
"The first step is to plan ahead; use proper planning techniques like sell through data and forecasting to predict the top selling products for the season, get your orders in early and maintain a good relationship with your suppliers so you will get your fair share of stock before it sells out.
"At store level, make sure your merchandising reflects your marketing. If you advertise a particular product at a special rate, make sure there is plenty of stock on the shelf or you'll lose valuable sales time and time again.
"And finally, with so many customers in store you'll need more staff to cater for the additional trade. Employ extra staff early and extend your trading hours to make for a smooth and successful Christmas retailing season."

Letting agencies Your Move and Reeds Rains claim rents have started to drop in many areas following the arrival of a glut of buy to let homes on the market after the passing of the stamp duty surcharge deadline.
Average rents for homes to let across England and Wales in May stand at £792 per month - a drop of 0.2 per cent since April and compared to a long-term average monthly rise of 0.4 per cent every May since the recession.
On an annual basis, rents are now 1.8 per cent higher than in May 2015.
That's just half the annual rate of rental growth seen at the start of 2016, when in January this measure stood at 3.6 per cent.
"This is the equivalent of a flash flood for the rental market. Landlords escaping a much larger stamp duty bill by completing their purchases before April 1 have now finished their repairs and paperwork, with these homes to let competing for tenants in May and into June. That short-term mismatch has made May an exceptional month" says the agencies' spokesman, Adrian Gill.
Rent rises in London have slowed to just 1.0 per cent over the 12 months ending May 2016. This compares to a peak seen in September 2015 when rents in London were 11.6 per cent higher than a year before at the time.
By contrast, the East Midlands have witnessed rent rises of 7.3 per cent over the 12 months ending in May, followed by the West Midlands with 5.5 per cent and the East of England with 3.6 per cent.
All 10 regions of England and Wales have seen rents in May higher than a year earlier, but the smallest rises - just 0.5 per cent over 12 months - were in Wales and the South East.
Taking into account both rental income and capital growth - but before property-specific costs such as maintenance - the average existing landlord in England and Wales has seen total returns of 10.2 per cent over the 12 months to May.

Raimi takes over Clancy's Jack Ryan?
Sam Raimi is in negotiations to take over the franchise of the ex-Tom Clancy screen character Jack Ryan, I say "ex" because we heard that the screen character is now owned by the studio and Clancy will have no involvement in the next films.
Sam Raimi though, and not just producing either, I mean directing, and it looks as though he would be directing a series of films too, not just one.
According to the news story, Sam Raimi is only in negotiations at the moment, but Variety are saying it's a pretty strong likelihood and that Raimi would be developing and directing a series of films on the character.
I wonder if he really would sign up to another franchise so soon after Spider-Man? I could see him signing up to a film with the possibility of going on should he want to, but signing up now for an entire series?
It's also quite a change in direction again, although looking past the costumes in Spider-Man you can see there are strong similarities, Jack Ryan is a hero, just not costumed and more real world.
However now that the studio is in charge and there's Tom Clancy involved, and that means changes based on revenue at the box office. So they are looking to make the character younger and take him forward into modern day, so forget the films that happened in the past.
Well, why does it have to be Jack Ryan then? Oh no, next the studio will be saying it's Jack Ryan's son! Actually that's a little unfair, while the studio can go their separate way they have managed to secure first look rights at the latest Clancy novel based on Jack Ryan, so perhaps we'll get a Clancy story after all.
Already we've seen Alec Baldwin, the best choice for the character so far in my eyes, Harrison Ford and the worst choice, Ben Affleck.
What do you think though, Sam Raimi doing a modern day thriller with the Jack Ryan character, typical Tom Clancy stuff, but is it a match for Raimi?

By Paul Boatman
Phil Scott is in his sixth year as senior minister with First Christian Church in Dodge City, Kansas. This is his fifth ministry focused on leading a declining church into "turnaround" principles and practices.
"Turnaround church," "comeback church"—help us understand these terms.
As I use "turnaround church," I'm using a concept deeply rooted in Scripture. It relates to leaving past patterns that were ineffective and choosing new patterns for living out our faith by returning to God. That describes repentance, but not all of the issues that led a church into decline are obvious sin patterns. "Comeback church" has more of a business or athletic tone to it. "Comeback" is popular, but I like the biblical roots of "turnaround."
Can you give us a quick summary of your history with this special ministry focus?
Marion Christian Church in Iowa was our first such experience. When June and I went there it was a church plant that was about to fail. The church had split, the elders had resigned, and the minister had been let go. We stayed 11 years, and attendance grew from 35 to 300. About halfway through that ministry, I decided to go back to seminary because I felt I was running dry. I wondered how I could continue to lead a church out of decline mode without depleting myself.
That question eventually led you into a doctorate program as well. Where did you go next in ministry?
We went to a great, historic church in Canton, Ohio. In an 18-year period their attendance had declined from 1,800 to 750. In two-and-a-half years [there], they were back up to 1,300, but then I crashed. I needed to get out of the ministry to get my own life together. I worked as a contractor for three years.
I'd like to come back to that later. What was your next ministry step?
We were praying about reentering the pastorate when we got a call from my home church in Waterloo, Iowa. My dad had a 16-year ministry there many years ago. We moved into the parsonage I grew up in. The church rebounded nicely. In five-and-a-half years, attendance went from 75 to nearly 300. We were happy, but we received a challenging call to Kingsport, Tennessee. This was an older, downtown church that seemed to be the right place to apply the perspectives I was formulating in my DMin at Bethel University. It turned into a heart-breaking ministry, not because of antagonism or harsh people, but after two years the leadership concluded the church was not willing to do what was necessary to turn around, or at least not at the pace I thought possible. That was when Dodge City appeared on our horizon.
Did that throw you off stride?
I was deeply disappointed, but no church is likely to grow against its will. I became clearer on the turnaround process.
Leaders who are mainly peacemakers or peace lovers will never make the changes needed for disrupting a decline.
A growing church cannot allow the staff to do "stovepiping" that says, "This is what I was hired to do!" Job descriptions have to be rewritten according to the church's needs and personal giftedness.
We have to look at our buildings through the eyes of the outsider. A building that seems functional to us may look "tired" to the outsider.
We have to keep asking about our discipleship. We have to do more than just say, "Keep coming to church." The church has to see that unless new Christians are really becoming disciples, the back-door losses will prevent growth.
It sounds like you are developing distinctive ideas on effective churchmanship.
Lyle Schaller and Thom Rainer are both clear in measuring spiritual growth in the church through numbers—numbers in church services, offering numbers, numbers of new programs, numbers of people in each program. Numbers are a tool for measuring the spiritual development of the church, a way of saying, "This is what we used to do, but here is what we plan to do."
At Dodge City, we want to measure everything: How many new members are inviting guests? How many kids went on mission trips? How many new kids?
Give us some of the big-picture measures you use at Dodge.
When I went there we had worship services at 8:30 and 10:45. The 9:45 Sunday school had less than one-third of the combined worship attendance. There was not one child in the early service, but the 10:45 service was overflowing, and we had difficulty staffing for greeters and concurrent nursery and children's services.
So we began asking, How can we do things better? Now we have a rather traditional service at 8:30, a thoroughly contemporary service at 9:45, and a blended service at 11. We expanded Sunday school to both 9:45 and 11. The service reaching the most new and young people is at 9:45, but the early service has gained momentum, especially for people from other denominational backgrounds. Each format is helping to win people to Christ.
Our attendance has grown from about 450 to 600. A Spanish church that was included in the early count is now on its own, running about 75 to 80. Our Wednesday night program draws 200 to 250. And we have a Sunday evening worship that draws about 100—yes, Sunday evening. We keep evaluating it, but it is serving a need.
Is your facility up to the growth?
We are adding a $3 million addition with a multipurpose room and food court. That will allow some worship service relocation and general updating. We are building for the church we expect to become. We are the only large church to stay in downtown Dodge, just off Front Street on Boot Hill. We expect to keep growing from this base. The turnaround should continue.
Would you be open to talk about your personal turnaround?
I needed a turnaround as much as any church I've served. I spent three years out of the ministry, sitting in the pew, field-testing everything I had believed and preached. I had been a workaholic. Nobody tells a drunk to keep drinking, but workaholism is affirmed. I was absorbed in what I could do. My soul was conflicted and I was not listening to the people who were trying to speak to me. I was at the point of throwing away my family and my health. I was broken.
My wife showed strength that I never knew she had. My apparent self-confidence had kept her in the background, but she stepped up, saying, "We are going to get through this." We only reentered ministry when we could both enter with clear commitment to put our whole selves in submission to Christ. It took three years for both of us to be ready to enter ministry in a healthy way. We believe we are at the place where God wants us to be, and more effective today than ever before.

- If the trainer considers it necessary, s/he may ask the trainee facilitator to revise their thread or to observe a new workshop.
- The trainee facilitator organizes and facilitates a "Help others" group workshop supervised by the Tipi trainer who validates the facilitation during a "teacher training meeting" to conclude the training.

BANK of Ireland is to pay more than €7m in bonuses this year to senior management and staff despite the taxpayer becoming the majority stake holder, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
In the wake of the public outcry over bonus payments to semi-state bosses and bosses at Anglo Irish Bank last week, pressure is mounting on Finance Minister Michael Noonan to protect the taxpayer from bonus excesses at the bank.
In total since 2009, Bank of Ireland's bonus bill to senior management and staff is to top €11.3m by the end of this year. The bank is also due to pay contractual bonuses of €600,000 to senior executives in 2011, and a further €200,000 in 2012.
Despite repeated demands by the current and the previous government for all bonuses to be waived, the Sunday Independent has confirmed that bonuses of at least €7m will be paid to staff within Bank of Ireland this year.
The figure due to be paid in bonuses this year was set to be in excess of €11m, but following the revelation that the bank misled former minister Brian Lenihan and the Department of Finance, that figure was reduced.
The revelation is likely to increase pressure on Mr Noonan who is attempting to assert his control over the banking sector.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Mr Noonan said he wanted to ensure that never again would the Government "fall down the trap" of not having the full story when it came to bankers' remuneration.
Earlier this year it emerged the bank repeatedly misled former Finance Minister Brian Lenihan by insisting that no performance-related bonuses had been paid to its senior management. The bank paid €2m to the State in recompense for misleading Mr Lenihan and the Oireachtas on bonuses.
Following a parliamentary question in November 2010, the bank insisted to Mr Lenihan that no performance-related bonuses had been paid in respect of the financial years ending in March 2009 and December 2009. This "incomplete and misleading" information was relied on by Mr Lenihan in his replies to Dail questions about bonuses.
In fact, more than €66m has been paid in bonuses to Bank of Ireland staff from September 2008 to December 2010, the report states.
The Department of Finance said all of these bonuses were performance-linked, but they were not classified as such by the bank. Following an investigation, it has emerged that senior executives in Bank of Ireland were paid previously contracted bonuses of €4.3m since the introduction of the bank guarantee in September 2008.
In a statement to the Sunday Independent, the bank said: "Since January 2009 Bank of Ireland has only made non-salary bonus type payments where it has a clear legal obligation to do so, where the bank believes there is a clear commercial case that is in the best interests of the business. The bank has also had and continues to have a number of staff who receive payment through commission on earnings in addition to their basic salary."
The bank will seek to raise €1.91bn from shareholders through an 18-for-five rights issue this month, as part of its drive to boost its capital base by €5.2bn to meet regulatory requirements.
With many shareholders unlikely to take up their options, the State is likely to become a majority shareholder in the bank.
At present, the State owns 36 per cent of Bank of Ireland. As part of the rights issue, this can increase to a maximum 70 per cent. The State is also providing €1bn in contingent capital.
In total, Bank of Ireland needs to raise €5.35bn. Of this, €4.2bn is required to bolster its core Tier 1 capital ratio, and €1bn is needed in contingent capital.

Autopilot – 25 word story
Brookville, Pennsylvania
November 7, 2015 10:41am CST
Autopilot Eon after eon, dazzling stars and nebula drifted past the ship's viewscreens. The computer knew that the crew – if still alive – would have enjoyed them. # Recently, I've been going through my old writing notebooks looking for lost gems. This story was a writing exercise seeing what you could do with only twenty-five words.

It's definitely a gem. Glad you found it. Don't you just love it when you find stuff you're written years ago. Sometimes when I read the stuff I find I can't believe I wrote it! Sometime my writing moods come and then the inspiration goes in a flash. So happy it was written down before I forgot it.

Hi there! My name is Maryam and I blog at Pamplemousse1983. I'm here to talk to you lovely readers about art. Namely, decorating with art. Decorating can be intimidating and choosing what to put on your walls can be even more intimidating than picking a couch or rug or TV stand.
I think a lot of people love art but are not sure how to pick art that will go with the rest of their decor. I find that there are a few rules to go by that make it a lot easier. I find that the two easiest kinds of art to decorate with are abstract art and typographic art.
First, abstract art. Since you don't really have to worry about the subject, concentrate on the colors. If the colors in your house are mainly neutral you can pick art that is more colorful. If your decor is colorful, there are a ton of options in monochrome. That could be black and white or just a single color. I also love pieces that are a neutral (gray or black) and one other color.
Now for typographic art. This type of art is easy to decorate with because it is usually just one color. I especially like typographic art that is plain old black and white because it makes a statement and works with just about every single color scheme. It could work in a black, white or colored frame. It's basically the little black dress of wall art.
One last thing that is great about either of these types of art is if you're broke it's easy to make your own! I have a series on my blog where I have little easy art tutorials, a lot of which you can do with things you have on hand, or on the cheap. As far as typographic art, all you need to do is find a cool font (I like to find free fonts here) and type up a favorite quote or even a symbol like that ampersand up there. Print, frame, done. You could even make it really big and print it at Kinko's for poster sized art. How cool is that?! Or if you have nice handwriting you could even use some paint and a canvas. The possibilities are endless!
I hope that helps and gets you on your way to covering up those lonely walls.

The field of robotics is an amazing field and it seems like every day they become more and more human-like. Boston Dynamics is one of the front runners in robotics, and if you have never heard of them you are missing out! They are constantly putting out these truly incredible videos that blow my mind every time I see them. Take a look at the video below and be prepared to be utterly wowed at what this mechanical creature can do.
If we are being truly honest, I feel as if I would struggle to keep up with the agility that is demonstrated here. In other videos, they have robots able to bend down, grab a heavy load, then stand up and move it somewhere else in a precise manner. Some of them are even able to catch items thrown at it, which truly blows my mind. The future of the world is heavily invested in robots being able to almost seamlessly take the place of humans when necessary. Whether this is a good or bad thing it is still impressive that scientists have made advances well past what the great sci-fi novels of the mid 20th century ever envisioned!

Bicycles can be "useful" even after they're not useful anymore, when its useful life is over, I mean.
If you don't believe what I'm saying I'll tell you about some artist from Sancti Spiritus who makes his work pieces mostly out of discarded bicycle parts.
I first heard of him during the Second Salon of Young Contemporary Art Vita Brevis, organized in the Village of the Holy Spirit in 2015. He was granted one of the two prizes of the event with Tiempo de nueva luz (Time of new light), a large lamp made from bicycle parts, resistors of electric stoves, and other materials.
Rafael González Morales, the man whose name and profession will forever be linked to cycles, has said that he prefers to use recycled materials and scrap to create his pieces.
His most recent exhibition, which was displayed in the lobby of the local Principal Theater, showed a combination of materials to represent aspects and items of everyday life.

MSU's Maxwell savors special game at CMU
Recommended Video:
Note: For photos of the game, click on the following link: http://mdn.mycapture.com/mycapture/folder.asp?event=1530417&CategoryID=36149&ListSubAlbums=0
MOUNT PLEASANT — Andrew Maxwell had been there before, many times as a young boy watching games with his dad, Mark. And then again in a high school playoff game as a quarterback.
But Saturday afternoon was a very special day for Maxwell at Central Michigan University's Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, as he made his first road start as the Michigan State quarterback in front of family members and friends from just 30 miles down the road - and led the Spartans to a 41-7 victory over the Chippewas.
"This was a really special experience (today) because I grew up coming to games here, and when you're a kid and you're 5 or 6, you're really starting to fall in love with the game when you get to come here and see it up and personal," Maxwell said with a smile to a large group of reporters outside Kelly/Shorts Stadium after his first road win as the starter.
"To have that background and then to come back here and be the starting quarterback and get to be on a team that gets to come in here and play, that was a special experience for me and something that I really enjoyed," Maxwell added. "It's a little different (being here as a player). But it was fun, man. It was really a blast."
The 6-foot-3 Maxwell, who played quarterback for four years at Midland High School and made his starting debut for the Spartans last week in a 17-13 win over Boise State, completed 20 of 31 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions vs. CMU - after throwing three interceptions against Boise State. He only played three quarters before backup QB Connor Cook took over.
"I think any time you go on the road, you have to have focus," Maxwell noted. "Going on the road and winning a football game is one of the toughest things to do. We approached this as a business trip and we knew what we had to get done."
Maxwell enjoyed the opportunity to play in front of his parents, Mark and Karen, his brother Adam, and other family members and friends who were part of a sold-out stadium-record crowd of 35,127 that watched MSU's first-ever visit to Kelly/Shorts.
"I had my immediate family here and my aunts and uncles were here. A lot of my high school friends go to school here (at CMU) and Connor Gagnon for CMU, so he and I exchanged texts. Just the general feel was that everybody was pretty excited for this game and it was an awesome atmosphere."
Maxwell will get another spotlight game next week when MSU plays Notre Dame on Saturday night in a nationally televised game.
"We're just going to keep getting better. I know the coaches are going to get us ready and we're going to have a great week of practice and be ready to go Saturday night," Maxwell said.
• Maxwell, who's a redshirt junior, was surrounded by at least 30 print and television reporters outside the MSU locker room, and calmly answered questions for about six minutes after the game.
• Maxwell and Gagnon were Midland High teammates and both played in the Division 2 state championship game at Ford Feld in Detroit in 2007 when they were juniors.
• In anticipation of a high demand for tickets for Saturday's game, CMU had 2,000 bleachers added to the student section of Kelly/Shorts Stadium and a temporary luxury box on the east side of the stadium just for this season, which includes seven home games.
• The high number of media at the game prompted CMU to also install a temporary auxiliary press area at the north end of the stadium near the visitors' locker room.
• Fans parked as far as at least a mile away and walked to Kelly/Shorts Stadium for the game. The stadium parking lots opened at 11:30 a.m., four hours before kickoff.
• The CMU and MSU bands performed together on the field after the game.

There are lots of reasons why ordinary, everyday folk decide to go the extra mile to fundraise.
Physical events can provide great personal challenges and goals, and are also tremendous team bonding experiences for teams of employees, friends and family groups.
Fundraiser Eddy Dixon told us:
I'm raising money for Children's Heart Surgery Fund as my son, Nathaniel, was born last year with TGA. He had surgery at a week old, and throughout his stay in hospital I realised just how much the charity does to help and support families affected by congenital heart disease.
I feel like raising money is my way of saying thank you and ensuring the support they provide can continue.
Cycling has helped me achieve my goals of improving my general health and fitness since Nate was born, and having a challenge to aim for and train towards has really helped to keep me motivated.
Similarly, Elizabeth Kvammen sees it as a combination of personal fitness and a means of saying thank you:
My daughter, Siri Sofie, was very poorly when she was born. One of the things they found was a hole in her heart. Over the subsequent few years, they discovered other holes, most healed, one didn't. She had successful surgery in Leeds to close it with a marvelous little device plugging the hole.
That was in September 2014. She's now 7 and going from strength to strength. I also know of other families who have far more complex heart issues to deal with. The unit at LGI is nothing short of amazing.
I chose cycling event because I have had a lot of health challenges in the past. This is my way of getting properly fit again and saying 'I can do it!'
Of course, it's not just blood relatives who can inspire you to raise money for others.
Andy Brown told us his reasons cycling on our behalf:
In my village there is a little girl who would not be alive if were not for the work of the Children's Heart Surgery team. My wife has a long-standing heart condition too.
Anyone who sees the impact of the NHS's positive work on the lifestyles of people with heart conditions would be happy to do something small to help out.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to help us fundraise, we applaud you and look forward to seeing you at the finish line.

Pupils from Barugh Green Primary School visited a specially constructed Santa's Grotto at Barnsley College.
The group of 47 Year 6 pupils were invited to the College's Barugh Green campus to take part in taster courses in trade areas including brickwork, painting and decorating, plastering, tiling, plumbing and joinery. Pupils had the opportunity to take part in a number of practical activities which included making teapot stands out of wood, making Santa mosaics, painting Christmas themes with stencils and making Christmas moulds from plaster. The pupils then had the opportunity to visit Santa in a grotto which was designed, built and decorated by Barnsley College Construction students as part of their course.
Gavin Lee, Head of Construction Crafts at Barnsley College, said: "We are always looking at ways in which we can strengthen our links with the local community. The visit was a great way for the pupils to get a taste of the construction trades as well as get into the Christmas spirit. They were star pupils and we very much enjoyed teaching them!"
Barugh Green Primary School teachers, Gwenan Crossland and Emma Battye added: "This was a fabulous hands-on and practical experience for the pupils. They had the opportunity to get involved in activities that they don't do at school and we hope that we can come back again next year. The Barnsley College staff were brilliant with the pupils and we would like to thank them for inviting us. It was a huge success and the pupils really enjoyed it."

I never thought that I, a passionate lover of all fatty and fried, will praise cooked chicken fillet burgers steam. But they turned out really, really tasty. Juicy and tender, with a delicate aroma of thyme and crunchy nuts inside. To prepare two portions (8 pieces) steam cutlets we need:
Turkey cutlets, apple and walnut salad.
Turkey cutlets, apple and walnut salad. Thus prepared cutlets out very juicy and a little unusual. On the one hand they use turkey fillet, on the other hand, this is complemented by soft crunchy nuts that make up. The very same goes chops taste sweet and sour. It perfectly complements the simple salad of mozzarella, […]

The Busyness of Misery 11.10.17
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to [Jesus] and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" Luke 10:38-40
Sometimes good things take us away from something better. That happened in the life of Martha, whose story is recorded in Luke 10:38-42. When Jesus and His disciples arrived in the village of Bethany, Martha welcomed them into her home. Being a good host meant that someone had to prepare the meal for the guests and that was EXACTLY what Martha had intentions of doing.
When Martha complained that her sister Mary wasn't helping, Jesus defended Mary's choice to sit at His feet. But the Lord wasn't saying that Mary was more spiritual than her sister. On occasion Martha seems to have shown more trust in Jesus than Mary did (John 11:19-20). And He wasn't being critical of Martha's desire to look after their physical needs. Rather, what the Lord wanted Martha to hear is that in the busyness of our service, listening to Him, is the main event.
In life, we often need a reminder to put the important things over urgent tasks. We could spend a lifetime worrying about the day-to-day "responsibilities" and giving our resources of time and attention to them. But what we really should be spending most of our energy on is important, eternal matters. Sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to Him. Let's put the distractions of today off and subdue the misery of busyness so that we can make our spiritual growth a true priority.

...it took them 8 hours to hike in. This map doesn't show the entire 11 miles but you can get the idea.
There were no misshaps along the way. Fortunately they had arranged for all their gear to be delivered to/from the campsite by boat so they didn't have to haul it in backpacks.
They spent two nights camping with the hippies who have settled in permanently. On the third day it only took 6 hours to get out...and a Grand time was had by all! And then they took a nap.

The Heavenly Lake nestles on the northern side of the Bogeda Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, 40-odd kilometers in the east of Fukang County, and 120 kilometers away from Urumqi City in Northwest, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. In 1783, Ming Liang, the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) Commander of Urumqi Army Commanding Zone, named the lake "Tianchi" Lake, or the Heavenly Lake. It covers the area of 3aquare kilometers, 105 meters deep at the deepest point, and 40 meters deep in average, this crescent-shaped lake deserves its name, "Pearl of the Heavenly Mountain(Tainshan Mountain)". With melted snow as its source, the Heavy Lake enjoys crystal water. The Bogeda Peak, 5545 meters above sea level, is the highest peak of the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains.
As if the natural beauty of the Heavenly Lake is not enough, legend adds a mysterious touch. It is said that more than 3,000 years ago, the Queen of the Western Region (Xi Wang Mu) entertained King Zhoumu of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century - 771BC) at the Lake and held court feasts. Others say it was the pond for the Queen to take bath, with the mist on the lake considered the clothes for the Queen Mother, and the lesser Heavenly Lake nearby as the basin for her to wash her feet.
The number of tourists to the Heavenly Lake is on the constant increase. The Heavenly Lake is an alpine drift lake shaped in the Quaternary Glacier period, and was listed by the State as one of the key scenic spots in 1982. Besides, it is an AAAA Grade scenic spots. Generally, there are eight famous attraction spots, a few cultural relics and eye catching mountains standing in the Heaven Lake. In winter the beautiful lake is an ideal ski rink.
Situated on the northern side of Bogda Peak of Tianshan Mountains, the Heavenly Lake Nature Reserve covers 380-odd square kilometers, including 18 modern glaciers, 3 rivers, 18 lakes of which the Heavenly Lake is the most famed one. It is also abundant in forest and animal resources. Apart from the dragon spruces, there are above 200 kinds of seed plants, 24 kinds of animals, 50 kinds of birds, 2kinds of reptiles, 1kind of amphibian, and 3 kinds of fishes, offering scientists great research promises in glaciers, hydrology, geology and alpine plants and animals. In 1980 it was authorised by the State as a national nature reserve.

From USAC
Delmar, Delaware (April 16, 2019)………Reigning USAC Rapid Tire East Coast Sprint Car champion Steven Drevicki, fresh off his victory in last week's opener, leads the series into this Wednesday night's April 17 race at Delaware International Speedway in Delmar.
Drevicki was victorious in the series' lone visit to Delaware in 2018, leading all 25 laps to score the win and leads the standings coming into this week's race, the first of two trips to the half-mile dirt oval this year, with the season also concluding at Delaware on September 7.
Drevicki, of Reading, Pa., leads the points by three markers over Eddie Strada, followed by Carmen Perigo, Chris Allen, Jr. and Chandler Leiby.
The event card also features the RUSH Tour – Raelyn Huffman Memorial featuring RUSH, Trucks and Chargers. Gates open for this Wednesday's event at 4pm Eastern with the drivers meeting set for 6pm and hot laps at 6:30pm.
Last Saturday, Drevicki found comfort in the bottom groove, but despite having to battle through lapped traffic just past the midway point, was able to finesse his way through with ease, pulling away for the victory over Strada, Carmen Perigo, Allen and Leiby.
USAC RAPID TIRE EAST COAST SPRINT POINTS: 1-Drevicki-77, 2-Strada-74, 3-Perigo-70, 4-Allen-66, 5-Leiby-66, 6-Jennings-63, 7-Hivner-58, 8-Kobylarz-52, 9-Unglert-49, 10-Swanson-45.

... thank you for your help changing the way I think of life!
Arlington Heights, IL (PRWEB) January 14, 2013
More than 400 holiday cards from all over the world were delivered to residents in health care at The Moorings of Arlington Heights, a suburban Chicago retirement community and member of Presbyterian Homes. The cards were in response to a gratitude drive started at 500kindnesses.com requesting holiday cards with personal notes and well wishes be mailed to them. The cards were in thanks for their pledges of acts of kindness supporting Canadian Todd O'Reilly, 42, and his 14-year-old son in their "500 Acts of Kindness" cross-country bicycle journey from Toronto to New York City.
The cards arrived from as far as Australia, New Zealand, Norway, The United Kingdom, Canada and from the U.S. states from coast to coast. One person requested the first names of all of the residents and sent personal cards to each one. Others sent YouTube videos of themselves singing Christmas songs. Another shared an ultrasound of their baby soon to arrive. Some sent lengthy letters with family photos and asked if anyone wanted a pen pal. They said they missed the relationship with older adults in their lives who were now gone and would be happy to begin a new relationship with one of The Moorings residents.
"The residents were astonished by whom and how far around the world their acts of kindness were noticed," said Geri Wozniak, activities specialist at The Moorings. "We received cards from a class of autistic children, local schools, a Sunday school class and even one from a girl who lives at Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England. The residents were further touched that a group of busy staff at Children's Hospital Los Angeles found a moment to send a Christmas photo and card."
Every morning, the residents read the cards together "as a family." They recorded from whom each card was sent and displayed them all around the activity room. Ms. Wozniak then organized residents to create return greeting cards to send back with personalized messages to those who had requested a pen pal. One of the messages received from an eighth grader in Stroudsburg, PA, read "To Angels on Earth. You truly are the example the world should follow. You're a godsend, thank you for your help changing the way I think of life!"
At 500kindnesses.com Mr. O'Reilly posted his thanks to those who sent cards and said "An act of kindness doesn't have to be huge or take a great deal of effort to make a huge difference people's lives. A card sent, a smile or a hug given, a meal shared – these things, when lovingly performed can be truly significant to another person…"
He continued "Most importantly, it also illustrates the power of turning ideas into action. We're all filled with amazing ideas, beautiful ideas, ideas that can do nothing short of change the world around us. But if we talk ourselves out of doing those ideas, find reasons that it won't work, or won't have the desired impact, then nothing will happen. In this case so many people … just did it."

Ok, so we are on our last blog about the Wacom tables for embroidery use, and how they work with our programs (especially Wilcom Hatch) and how they can improve your workflow on any computer and in any program.
We have gone over what they are, the specifics of the pen and now we are on our last part: the tablet. With Wacom, you get two parts – the pen and the tablet – and one can't work without the other! The pen is made to use on the tablet only, and the tablet part is made for the pen – except for the touch part.
So how can the tablet increase and improve your workflow? In many ways! First, the shortcuts are all within your reach – with the quick buttons to the left side of the tablet. On some levels of Wacom Intuos tablets, you also have a radial menu. Once you get your tablet set up, these things are invaluable – quick and easy access to your most used tools! If you systematically set up the quick buttons to the tools that you use most often, you will find that this actually does speed up your workflow – faster access to the tools means faster digitizing times with more accuracy and less stress.
Here is what the tablets look like: You can get some cool different colors, as ell as a few different sizes and touch or not touch capable.
Here is the pro level of the tables – not as pretty but bigger sizes!
The Pen and Tables are a precision tool – anything you can do with a mouse you can do with the pen. The touch part on the tablet is amazing – you can use gestures – like the pinch gesture to zoom in and out!! That is another huge time saver – you don't have to click on anything or find any tool, just put your fingers on the tablet and quickly zoom in and out.
WHICH TABLET IS RIGHT FOR YOU? That depends on you, of course and what you need. If you are absolutely not sure, you can go for the Intuos products that start at $69.00 or $99.00 for the touch tablet. Those ones are probably a good place to start if y'all just wanna get your feet wet and try it out – its reasonably priced and a great starting point.
If you find that the surface is too small, then you might want to go to one of the Pro options – they are quite a bit bigger than the smaller ones – which gives you more room to work with. We have the large one, and its GREAT!
Have a look at each product, and figure out what your needs are and how each of them will work for you – then you can decide what you want. If you have an embroidery or illustration friend that has one, give it a try and see what you think.
Thanks for joining me for this blog adventure on Pens and Tables and how they can work for embroidery. If you manage to get your hands on one, check out the freehand tool in Hatch – its pretty darn amazing with a tablet – try it once and you will be hooked on that tool!! Its that good!!
Thanks everyone!

SOCIAL COGNITION: MIRROR NEURON SYSTEM (Evaluation (Strength: there's…
Discovery of mirror neurons
Rizzolatti et al (2002)
were studying electrical activity in a monkey's motor cortex (the part of the brain controlling movement) when one of the researchers reached for their lunch in view of the monkey
The monkey's motor cortex became activated in the same way as it did when the animal itself reached for the food. Further investigation revealed that it was in fact the same brain cells that fired when the monkey itself reached for food or watched somebody else reach. The researchers called these cells mirror neurons because they mirror motor activity in another individual.
Social cognition has a biological basis
Neurons in the cerebral cortex are organised into four main areas: the frontal; temporal; parietal and occipital lobes.
Different processes, such as visual perception, involve one or more of these lobes. Some areas of the brain seem to have very specialised roles in cognition.
It seems likely that many of our sophisticated social abilities, such as theory of mind, also involve complex brain mechanisms - these may have evolved as our brains and intelligence grew. Abilities like this could have been stimulated by our complex social living.
Attempts have been made to connect findings from neuroscience and social psychology and combine them into more complete theories - this is known as social neuroscience.
Mirror neurons and social cognition
Neurons that are active both when you do something and when you see other people do the same thing may help you understand the behaviours of others
Fogassi et al (2005)
The activity of 41 mirror neurons in 2 macaque monkeys were recorded as they observed a person pick up an apple as if to eat it, or pick up the apple and place it in a cup.
Different groups of neurons responded to the two outcomes (eat or place). Also, some neurons fired after the apple was picked up but before the second action (eat or place) was carried out.
Different patterns of response link with different behavioural objectives and some neurons seem to predict the intention of actions. So, mirror neurons may help to understand and predict the behaviour of others.
Animals may behave differently under lab conditions, meaning the experiment has low ecological validity. Also, the experiment was carried out on monkeys so it's difficult to generalise the results to humans - neurons in humans may not respond in the same way.
Mirror neurons and autism
A major source of evidence concerning mirror neurons and perspective-taking comes from the study of mirror neurons in children suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
ASD is associated with problems with all these social-cognitive abilities. If children on the autism spectrum can be to have a poor mirror neuron system then this may go a long way in explaining ASD.
Ramachandran and Oberman (2006)
have proposed the 'broken mirror' theory of ASD. This is the idea that neurological deficits including dysfunction in the mirror neuron system prevent a developing child imitating and understanding social behaviour in others. This manifests itself in infancy when children, later diagnosed with ASD, typically mimic adult behaviour less than others. Later, problems with the mirror neuron system lead to difficulties in social communication as children fail to develop the usual abilities to read intention and emotion in others.
there's evidence to support an important role for mirror neurons in human social cognition.
Haker et al (2012)
demonstrated that an area of the brain believed to be rich in motor neurons, is involved in contagious yawning, which is widely seen as a simple human empathy, the ability to perceive mental states in others. A brain scanning technique (fMRIs) was used to asses brain activity in participants whilst they were stimulated to yawn by showing them a film of others yawning. When they yawned, in response, participants showed considerable in Brodmann's area, an area believed to be rich in mirror neurons. This study supports the importance of mirror neurons in social cognition because they show that regions of the brain believed to be rich in motor neurons activate when empathy or perspective-taking occurs.
Note that, in the above point, evidence for mirror neuron activity comes from brain scanning, which identifies activity levels in regions of the brain. Scanning doesn't allow us to measure activity in individual brain cells. For ethical reasons, it's not possible to insert electrodes into the human brain to measure activity on a cellular level. This is a weakness because researchers are generally measuring activity in a part of the brain and inferring that this means activity in mirror neurons. There's a lack of direct evidence for mirror neuron activity in the brain.
there's mixed evidence for abnormal mirror neuron function in ASD.
Hadjikhani (2007)
has reviewed evidence for the link between ASD and mirror neuron deficit and found some support. Structural brain scans have found a smaller average thickness in an area of the brain in participants with ASD. Similarly, studies using fMRIs have shown lower activity in brain areas associated with mirror neurons in participants with ASD. However, not all such findings have been replicated consistently and evidence linking ASD to mirror neurons is mixed. This is a problem for the 'broken mirror' theory. The theory is credible as there's a close link between the signs of ASD and the likely role of mirror neurons in social cognition. However, there's a lack of direct reliable evidence to link them.
Hickok (2009)
has questioned the most basic assumption in mirror neuron research - that mirror neurons exist at all. He proposed that we only know mirror neurons by what they do and that we cannot actually identify the individual cells and point to their differences from other neurons.
Hickok also suggests that whilst it's likely that mirror neurons do exist and play a role in social cognition, it may not be quite what has been suggested by mirror neuron enthusiasts. It may have more to do with using others' behaviour to plan our own rather than understanding the cognitions behind it.
