Canon PowerShot SX40 HS: Performance
The DIGIC 5 makes the SX40 a snappy performer overall, with responsive controls and displays. Shutter lag is very small, although we go over our concerns with the auto-focus system in the Shooting Performance section.
Shooting Performance
The SX40 offers a high speed burst shooting mode, called High Speed HQ mode. The high speed burst mode is closely coupled to the camera's scene modes. To activate it you turn the mode dial to SCN and use the rear menus to set "HQ." The utility of the High-speed mode is unfortunately reduced because the camera locks focus on the first image. So if you are trying to track a moving subject the later images in the burst are likely to be out of focus.

|2.3 fps
*Note: Continuous shooting framerates are based on the camera's fastest full-resolution JPEG continuous shooting mode, using the fastest media type available (300x CF, SDHC, etc.). "Frames" notes the number of captures recorded per burst before the camera stops/slows to clear the buffer.
Perhaps because of the large zoom range and relatively small maximum aperture the camera's auto focus performance was a little spotty. For example attempting to focus on very close objects – from one to three feet – often caused the camera to hunt back and forth and refuse to lock onto the subject. In our tests it actually focused more slowly than its predecessor the SX30.
There are a variety of autofocus modes – not necessarily an advantage as it means that the user is responsible for setting the right one for each situation, defeating some of the point of a simple, integrated camera. The first setting, AF Frame Mode, controls how the camera chooses the portion of the frame on which to focus. You can set it to Flexizone, where you set the size and position of the focus area, or Face Detect, or Tracking AF where the camera will attempt to keep focus on a moving object.
The image stabilization system trumpets six different modes, which is enough to make most people's eyes glaze over. Fortunately there is an "intelligent" IS mode which lets the camera select the appropriate one of the six modes for each shot. In my testing the default mode worked extremely well, as you can see from the 840mm hand-held images accompanying this review.
Canon advertises the camera as useful for photographing wildlife so I took it over to the local lake to give it a test. Certainly the zoom range is more than adequate, with 840mm being the equal of an ultra-high end 600mm lens on a typical DSLR – most of which have a 1.5 focal length multiplier due to their sensor size. And since a DSLR plus 600mm lens would set you back $10,000 the prospect of sub-$500 alternative is certainly appealing! For perching birds like this Great Blue Heron the SX40 produced excellent images:
The camera didn't fare as well with moving subjects. Even with the new Tracking auto-focus feature it was difficult to get the camera to focus on any flying bird or quickly moving animal.
Closer to home a mule deer buck conveniently appeared in our yard and made for a great test subject. He was silhouetted in a very tricky combination of light and shade which the SX40 handled like a champ. All I needed to do was turn the camera's mode dial to "Sports" to get a nice, high shutter speed of 1/400th and fire away.
Lens Performance
The zoom range of the SX40 lens dwarfs all its other specs. Physically measuring 4.3mm to 150mm, it has the same field of view of an equivalent 24mm to 840mm lens for a full frame (traditional 35mm) camera. That range forces a trade-off in maximum aperture so the lens has a mediocre f/2.7 aperture at the wide end and a weak f/5.8 at the long end. This affects AF performance especially at the long end and also limits your ability to isolate a subject from the background by shooting wide open.
The lens uses Canon's UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass to provide excellent image quality for an ultrazoom. One difference between the SX40 and a DSLR which may not be obvious at first is the way the zoom is controlled. The SX40 uses the traditional point and shoot system of a level near the shutter button for zooming, while DSLRs rely on the user to turn the zoom ring on the lens. If you are attempting to use the LCD to focus the lever has some advantages, as you can steady the body of the camera with both hands. But for serious use it is awkward to have to keep taking your finger off the shutter button to adjust the zoom. So for high-performance shooting situations a true DSLR will provide a performance advantage.
One difference from the SX30 is that there is no integrated lens cover. Instead the camera relies on a snap-on lens cap, the same way DSLRs do. Like the SX30 there are several focal lengths marked on the lens barrel so you can tell how far you've zoomed. For a lens with this zoom range distortion is remarkably minimal, as shown by these images of buildings on the Stanford campus:
At wide and typical focal lengths the integrated lens is quite sharp, even in the corners. Zoomed in, it is a little soft compared to higher end dedicated zoom lenses, but that is to be expected for a compact ultrazoom. Frankly with the relatively slow aperture of f/5.8 at the long end motion blur will be a bigger issue than lens sharpness for most users needing to zoom way in on a scene. And the camera's relatively slow shutter lag, compared to similarly priced cameras, make it less than ideal for serious action photograph. The good news is that under all these conditions the corners of the image hold up quite well, without any major light falloff, at least after they have been processed by the camera into JPEGs.

Young local talent Hawthorn looking to impress in first title bout
PUBLISHED: 17:00 01 October 2018
The Emerson Park Academy schoolgirl, who is a Dagenham Freestyle Combat Jiu-Jitsu member, will fight in Guildford this weekend
Dagenham Freestyle Combat Jiu-Jitsu member Maisie Hawthorn is preparing for a big fight this month, but one of her coaches has backed her to come out with a win.
The Emerson Park Academy schoolgirl will do battle at the Guildford Spectrum Centre on Saturday (October 6) for the British Kick-Boxing Union (BKBU) title against a currently unnamed opponent.
It will be Hawthorn's first title bout, but the youngster has shown she can more than cope in recent contests.
Scott Horlick, an assistant coach at Dagenham Freestyle Combat Jiu-Jitsu, said: "In her last fight in March, she got noticed and her name got put forward for this.
"Something clicked for her and she looked absolutely fantastic. An association were impressed, alongside others at the event, and they got in touch about her competing in October.
"This will be her first ever title fight, but she has done really well in the previous five or six bouts."
Hawthorn has been taught by experienced Sensei John Mackinnon and they have worked together for around five years now.
Initially at Mackinnon's Dojo, the Dagenham Freestyle Combat Jiu-Jitsu Sensei now puts on several group sessions in the local area.
He will be in Hawthorn's corner on Saturday week and plenty of people are expected to make the trip to Guildford to support the youngster.
"She is certainly ready and it is quite a big deal," Horlick said. "She has picked her walk out music and will come out to it with smoke.
"I think she is a tiny bit nervous, but more looking forward to it and showing everyone what she can do.
"John and I will be in her corner and she will have loads of family supporting, so it will be a great occasion."

17/03/2016. InGame Review and Daily News from the HYIP Industry
Beware! InGame has stopped paying! Do not invest there!
Hi everyone, and Happy Saint Patrick's Day to anyone Irish, of Irish extraction, or just wants to be Irish on this the year's biggest beer drinking day! One of the recent programs (I have another one to introduce in the news section by the way, so keep reading for that) to join the MNO monitor over the past week or so, and also the longest one online, is called InGame. So before I go out to take a swim in a sea of Guinness I want to take a closer look at what it's all about (while I still have a clear head!). InGame is a medium to long term program that's been online for about the last three weeks now. Not quite as long to complete the first cycle of their shortest investment plan yet but just about long enough to put the very first investors in profit. Let's hope that they're only beginning to build up some steam now that the admin has brought his program to MNO and this is only the beginning for them.
I want to start as always with the investment plans which are of course the main reason anyone would be looking at InGame in the first place. There are no fewer than nine in total, running for varying terms and costing different amounts of money to join. The first one however need only cost you a $10 minimum to join. It's called The Novice Plan and it runs for a term of 25 calendar days. In return for joining InGame are offering members a daily interest rate of 5% on their deposits. Your principal is included as part of these payments so the final return of 125% is your own money back plus 25% net profit. InGame have the maximum limit capped at $200 for this plan, so clearly it's aimed that the smaller players or those who just like to play HYIPs for the fun of it.
To take a simple monetary example of how that might look, let's say you invested $100 in it. InGame then start paying you back at a rate of $5 per day until you have a total of $125 given back to you 25 days later. You reach the break even point (i.e. earn back your original hundred) after 20 days, so from that point on you can't possibly lose money anymore and are simply collecting profits.
Bigger investors can take The Start Plan which opens at $201. The term stays at 25 calendar days, but InGame slightly improve their interest rates for members with an offer of 5.1% per day. This adds up to 127.5% in total payments by the end of the term, and with InGame already counting your principal as part of the payments that leaves you with a net profit of 27.5%. There's an upper limit of $500 placed on deposits for this one.
Starting with a $501 minimum then, plan number three is called The Basic Plan and is the last of the 25 calendar day options. The rate of interest InGame are offering you here goes up again very slightly to 5.2%, although over the course of 25 payments that brings in a total of 130%. InGame have included your principal with that, so it's 30% net profit. The biggest single investment you will be allowed to make under these terms is capped at $1,000.
Next is a group of plans that run for 50 calendar days. These begin with The Advanced Plan which will cost you a minimum of $1,001 to join. The interest rate might surprise you at first glance because it actually gets lower, 3.4% per day in fact, but because InGame are making so many more payments to you it's ultimately more profitable. Of course, that's probably not very interesting to you if you can't afford such a high price to join. Anyway, your principal is not returned and therefore included with the payments which add up to 170% by the end of term, or 70% net profit. InGame have placed a maximum upper limit of $1,500 on any deposits you make here.
This is then followed by The Expert Plan. Again for a 50 calendar day term, InGame are offering an improved daily interest rate of 3.6% on investments starting at a $1,501 minimum. By the end of the term this comes to 180% in total, principal included, or 80% net profit. The maximum investment InGame allow for this plan is capped at $2,000.
The final plan that runs for this 50 calendar day term is called The Pro Plan and will cost you at least a $2,001 minimum to join. To entice that kind of money from you InGame up their offer to 3.8% interest per day, principal included. By the last payment then that should hopefully see you with 190% back on your money, from which 90% is the net profit. The upper limit placed by InGame on deposits for this plan is $2,500.
Moving into the realm of the really big spending players now, the list of investment plans is concluded with a group that run for a term of 100 calendar days. What's called The Pro Investor Plan is next on the list, and will cost you at least a $2,501 minimum to join. Again the interest rate itself takes a dip, but ultimately the goal is to collect a lot more of them. The rate is 3.2% per day, adding up to 320% by expiry. With InGame counting you principal as part of that, the net profit comes to 220%. Deposits are capped at an upper limit of $3,000.
If you have a spare $3,001 to invest, that's the minimum requirement for joining InGame's next option, The Expert Investor Plan. For a 100 calendar day term, this time you are being offered a daily interest rate of 3.5%. By the end of the term that comes to a total of 350%, and with InGame including your principal in the payments, that leaves you with 250% net profit. Maximum spend is $10,000.
And finally, just for your information, The Business Angel Plan is open to all deposits between a $10,001 minimum and a maximum of $25,000. This won't be of much use to you I know but as it's on the InGame website I'll give you the figures anyway. So, for a 100 calendar day term members are being offered a daily interest rate of 4%. Your principal is included as part of the payments and so not returned separately. Therefore the final return of 400% is your own money back plus 300% net profit.
So if you like any of the investment plans enough to join then the next thing you'll need to know is what your payment options are. They're a bit mixed to be honest, though there's no shortage of choice with anonymous and untraceable payment processors you won't find any verifiable ones. InGame accept deposits using PerfectMoney, Payeer, and OkPay if you favor the regular payment handlers, and BitCoin if you prefer digital e-currencies. A lack of choice is strongly compensated for however by the use of instant payouts. You will still have as always to log into your InGame members account area and request your payment, though once done you should have the money in under a minute. And what's not to like about that? Certainly it's something that appeals to a lot of investors and won't do the chances of success for InGame any harm.
Moving on to some of the more technical aspects of InGame and the program's website now such as design and security, they are hosted on a dedicated server with the support and protection of Koddos. InGame is running off a very dependable and high quality script under license from H-Script which I think is sometimes underestimated or under appreciated in this industry. If this is something you aren't familiar with then don't worry, it's really very easy to navigate. Although if you prefer, then after you become a member of InGame but before you make a real investment, you can try out the demo account with a "virtual" $100 deposit. This isn't real money of course and you don't earn anything, it's just a way to play around with the program and see how everything works before you decide if you like it or not. You might also notice an oddly labeled "Refill" tab in your members area that is actually what you need to make a deposit. There's some extra security in the form of SSL encryption from Comodo to allow for safer browsing and more secure transactions. InGame is also available in Russian and German for anyone more fluent in those languages than English. I can't comment on the German one but the Russian version is far superior to the English. Either way it's still something positive and helps make InGame more attractive to a wider market.
If you still have any further questions for the admin or any account related issues you need help with then there are a couple of ways you can reach out. The first thing you should try is the built-in Live Chat widget to see if there's someone online that might be able to help immediately. If not then you can simply fill out the customer support form and submit it through the InGame website's contacts page. Fans of social media sites will be able find InGame keeping a profile on the VK network. It's entirely in Russian so I don't know how useful anyone here is going to find it, likewise with the embedded YouTube investor submitted videos which are all in Russian as well. English speakers can check out their Facebook profile instead. InGame also feature Skype chat.
As for any alleged business activities supposedly backing the whole thing up, InGame are claiming to be "a private investment fund". You could probably use that to describe just about any online HYIP when you come to think of it, so don't read too much into it. Whatever the claims, there's never much in the way of evidence that you can check out for yourselves anyway, and InGame are no exception. Just treat them as you would any other high risk venture, and proceed with caution. Set yourself a sensible spending limit you can comfortably afford to lose and easily recoup elsewhere, and if joining InGame at all then try and keep them as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.
The above reviewed InGame keeps improving the website almost every day and yesterday an official representative page was added. Like with everything the administration of InGame does though the page looks quite different and the requirements of becoming a new representative include the ability to attract at least $2K in funds to the program with the progress bar showing the percentage fulfilled. Any representative to reach this level will automatically receive higher referral commissions from the next referral they attract to InGame. So, get active and start promoting InGame among your online friends and get better referral rewards as recognition for your hard work. Here's the message regarding the addition of official representatives feature which you can find on the InGame website by clicking on the relavent tab:
In our Fund were introduced the official representatives. This status allows you to receive higher rewards and bonuses from the Fund. Contacts of official representatives will be posted in a special section.
If you are an active investor, in the section "Official representatives" you can see the percent complete status."
Some great news from RixosFinance yesterday too, as Payza became the last payment processor the program added to an already extensive list which on its official launch two weeks ago included SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, AdvCash, and even direct Bank wires. This short message about the Payza addition appeared on the official Facebook account of RixosFinance:
"Our website has been successfully approved by Payza payment processor and is now available for deposits."
If you haven't read my detailed review of RixosFinance yet (click here to read), I must remind you that the program accepts investments starting from only $5 into several investment plans – 1.8% for 15 days, 2% for 30 days, 2.4% for 45 days, 2.8% for 60 days, 3% for 75 days. All of them also promise to return your principal and tomorrow will be exactly the first day when the very first investors of RixosFinance who joined its shortest term plan are due to get theirs back. That will be a good test for the program for sure in delivering its promises and will cement investors' trust in RixosFinance's future which many of us already consider bright, judging by the admin's behavior. You never know with HYIPs though and anyone still sitting on the fence I would suggest checking out my blog tomorrow for an update on the successful completion of the program's first investment cycle. Stay tuned for that!
More than six months ago ForexKing first appeared online to offer the best investment service to its clients and has now become one of the undisputed leaders in the HYIP industry's mid-term sector. ForexKing has been monitored on MNO for over two last months and just recently the admin Vilhelms upgraded his program to Premium Listing on MNO. The resulting review can be read here. ForexKing seems to be going from strength to strength and in the last newsletter the admin claims he has been satisfied with the level of growth so far and praised the program's wide choice of payment processors, strong security features, large network of regional representatives, multi-level referral commissions structure, and lots of social network channels. All of these definitely contributed greatly to the unstoppable growth of ForexKing which, according to the admin, has seen millions of dollars in investments (surely, quite an exaggerated figure!) and unrivaled support from its current members. The competition in the HYIP industry is getting tough nowadays though and ForexKing announced a higher referral bonus for larger deposits attracted by its members and the admin also requested an interview on MNO. I sent him the questions last night and he promised to respond within the next 48 hours. Hopefully, you will find some great information in it, and while I especially wanted to hear about ForexKing's future plans I can see from the newsletter below that they include multilingual Live Chat that will be welcomed by thise less fluent in English and will help promote ForexKing's services on a global scale. I remind you that ForexKing only require a $10 minimum in SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, NixMoney, or AdvCash to join daily paying with principal back on expiry plans – 2.1% for 15 days, 2.3% for 35 days, 2.7% for 60 days – or, if you're so brave, go with the much riskier paying once on expiry investment options promising sky-high returns of 250% after 40 business days, 600% after 65 business days, 1800% after 105 business days, 350% after 17 business days, 900% after 33 business days. In any case, I believe readers are very grateful to have such stable performers as ForexKing in the industry to rely on and hope the upcoming interview will help you decide if you wish to participate. Here's the full version of the latest newsletter from ForexKing for your reference:

I know that twelve days online for a program like FXAccolade that offers short-term investment plans that only take 24 hours to put you in profit can be quite a reasonable term to be on the winning side. Yet many members of surely the biggest short-term program of the year so far FXAccolade were left disappointed and even sometimes devastated seeing that the program experienced issues just on the day it was officially approved by Payza. It seemed that the profitable experience should have continued at least for some time, but the admin decided the opposite and shut up shop without a chance of recovery. I believe in this case the admin is the only person to blame for FXAccolade failing to reach its true potential as he scared off potential investors with his own actions of selective account blockings, money freezing and then writing about the same multiple account issue in unusual newsletter. It all looked more to me as a direct threat to investors to block their accounts for misbehaving. Such an attitude couldn't stay unnoticed for long by experienced investors who saw the sign of the pending collapse in those weird confessions and hurried to withdraw their money while it was not too late. Even the admin's surprise at the verification of Payza on the following day which he tried to use as some kind of seal of approval of his business activities didn't help. Of course, many investors expected a much better lifetime from such an experienced admin that would allow them to support the program with deposits for a longer time in search of better profits in the long run. The cunning nature of the admin was undone by some very stupid actions in removing the last payout stats and processing some selective payouts to STP and Payza only proved that the end was near. Of course, I couldn't stay put and watch my readers losing money in a dying program, so I have taken all the necessary steps to warn you against further investments in the latest blog post and moved FXAccolade to Waiting status even before any other monitor. I was firmly aware that the payouts at this point were still within the 24 hour timeframe, but I simply couldn't ignore the obvious. The fact is that the admin couldn't address selective payouts and by hiding the stats he then more or less confirms it. It's really unfortunate that FXAccolade had to finish so early, but I guess the admin had enough money collected as the program was certainly huge with thousands of dollars invested on a daily basis. Recent events didn't encourage many investors to re-invest and even the long awaited Payza addition won't help. At the moment FXAccolade has been moved to Scam Status on the MNO monitor, so please do not make any further investments there!
I'd like to finish today's news by introducing a newly added Standard List program called BitArbs. The program has been running for about two weeks now, but I guess we can safely describe that as a testing stage as it was only last night that any truly big monitor was added. I must say that at first glance I was quite impressed with the wide choice of payment methods in BitArbs, including both verifiable payment options like SolidTrustPay and Payza and some popular anonymous payment systems like PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, and AdvCash. You can join with a $10 minimum in the program's test plan paying 8% for the duration of 15 business days with the principal already included and not returned on expiry. If you wish to take advantage of the more profitable rates then you should go with BitArbs' regular investment plans that require a higher minimum and run for 50 business days (paying Monday to Friday) with the possible daily return from 3.6% to 6% depending on the amount you spend. Investors will love the fact that withdrawals are processed instantly, so you won't need to wait for long to see profits. However, it gets even better with this – on default all payments from BitArbs are processed automatically at a scheduled time to your e-currency accounts at midnight GMT and you don't even need to log into your account and do anything. However, due to high payment processor fees for smaller withdrawals to SolidTrustPay and Payza the admin made some changes as explained in the following update posted on the BitArbs' website that allows people to request their payouts instead of being paid automatically:
"An option for Payza and STP Payment Processor's clients
Due to high demand from our clients who use Payza and Solid Trust Pay Payment Processor, since these payment processor's charged high transfer fee and they felt it as a burden, now for our clients who use these payment processors have an option NOT to get automatic daily earning payment, but instant payment.
To get this done, simply clear/remove the Payza or SolidTrustPay Account ID on Setting Page within the member area. Without the payment processor account ID, the system will not execute the payment. Instead, it will return the daily earning to member's account balance at the scheduled daily payment time (01:00 PM GMT).
This way, the earnings will accumulate within clients' account balance and clients can decide themselves when and what amount to withdraw which will be processed instantly by the system.

With automated payouts it's actually hard to believe that the admin of BitArbs opted for sticking with a very familiar licensed GoldCoders script which his program runs off with some modifications.

five Illnesses You Ought to Know Are Induced by Asbestos ExposureIn the course of Asbestos Awareness 7 days, we place a highlight on asbestos exposure and what can occur if somebody is overexposed.
Usually, the a lot more critical and properly-recognized problems like mesothelioma and lung most cancers acquire the most attention for the duration of Asbestos Awareness Week. Today we're touching on the other cancers and benign situations caused by asbestos.
Many thanks to commercials on tv, several people have turn into aware that asbestos publicity leads to mesothelioma and lung cancer. It is significantly less extensively known that asbestos triggers most cancers of the voice box (larynx) and ovaries.
Asbestos really triggers far more benign conditions than cancerous ones. These noncancerous conditions assortment from gentle and nonthreatening to extreme and life-threatening. The latest remedies and medications have thankfully improved good quality of life for people coping with these situations.
Familiarity with these other asbestos-associated diseases will help those formerly uncovered know what signs and symptoms to view out for as signs of a creating situation. Even though some of these illnesses are daily life-threatening, an early diagnosis can make all the distinction to survival. Understanding that therapies are available to manage symptoms is reaffirming to any person with a historical past of asbestos exposure.
Ovarian Cancer
However it only signifies three % of woman cancer diagnoses, ovarian most cancers causes much more deaths than any other feminine reproductive cancer. In 2012, a examine by the Worldwide Agency for Analysis on Cancer (IARC) confirmed that asbestos publicity causes ovarian most cancers. Numerous cases were documented in women whose father or husband labored with asbestos.
Even though the precise system for how asbestos fibers attain the ovaries is underneath debate, scientists theorize the fibers are transported by the lymphatic method. Some instances ended up associated with asbestos-contaminated talc utilised for hygiene.
Ovarian cancer is treated with surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone remedy and focused therapy. The overall survival fee for all varieties and stages of ovarian cancer is 45 percent. A fortuitous fifteen per cent of situations are diagnosed in phase I and have a 90 per cent survival fee.
Laryngeal Most cancers
Laryngeal cancer is uncommon and most frequently triggered by cigarette smoking in blend with liquor usage. However a 2006 report sponsored by the Nationwide Institutes of Health proved that asbestos publicity leads to cancer of the larynx, identified as the voice box. In 2012 the IRAC verified the relationship in a scientific review of all proof to day.
Researchers suspect that inhaled asbestos fibers lodge in the voice box on the way to the lungs. Treatment method may differ by most cancers phase and entails surgical procedure, chemotherapy and radiation remedy. The prognosis for little tumors that haven't spread to lymph nodes is great with treatment charges in between seventy five and 95 per cent. If caught early ample, radiation therapy might offer you a treatment and preserve the patient's voice.

Discover ideas to ensure you maintain your household safe from the dangers of asbestos.
Asbestosis is a progressive pulmonary illness that inhibits lung wellness and perform. It develops when inhaled asbestos fibers accumulate in the lungs and lead to scar tissue to sort. Over time the scar tissue hardens the lungs, restricting elasticity.
Respiratory becomes challenging and agonizing as the situation progresses. Scarring impairs the lungs capacity to source oxygen to the blood stream. Individuals typically need to have oxygen tanks and discomfort medicine to handle signs. There is no heal for asbestosis and its progression cant be halted, but most indicators are minimized with medicine and oxygen supplementation.
Clubbed Fingers
About 50 % of all folks with extreme asbestosis create a situation recognized as clubbed fingers. The ideas of fingers turn into misshapen, swollen and may take on a box-like physical appearance. The situation seems to be caused by the organic results of asbestosis fairly than right by asbestos fibers.
Clubbed fingers have a tendency to build early and dont go absent as soon as designed. It is a signal of a lot more significant asbestosis and is connected with higher mortality and likelihood of asbestos watch brisbane .
Benign Pleural Illnesses
Although problems like asbestosis and lung most cancers impact lung tissue, other situations impact the lining of the lungs acknowledged as the pleura. Mesothelioma is the only cancerous illness that has an effect on the pleura, however asbestos can cause a number of benign circumstances to develop in the lung lining.
The pleura is made up of two levels: An internal layer that strains the lungs, and an outer layer that lines the ribs. The existence of asbestos fibers can result in these levels to inflame and rub towards each other, a problem named pleuritis. Treatment is successful at controlling ache.
As scar tissue accumulates on the lining of the lungs, collagen deposits called pleural plaques can produce. Plaques most typically type on the outer layer of the pleura that traces the rib cage. Amongst 5 and 15 % of plaques grow to be calcified and harden as a result. They hardly ever trigger signs and symptoms, but some plaques may possibly lead to pain and could call for medicine.
Irritation induced by asbestos can weaken blood vessels, triggering them to leak fluid. This fluid builds up inside of the pleural layers, named pleural effusion, and can interfere with respiration and result in pain if left untreated. A treatment named talc pleurodesis can forever stop fluid buildup.
Pleural effusions frequently precede substantial scarring and thickening of the pleura, identified as diffuse pleural thickening. As the pleura gets to be rigid and thick with scar tissue and lung purpose is compromised, ache might produce. Drugs for pain, bronchial dilation and steroids offer relief from signs.
If you have a heritage of asbestos exposure and develop any abdominal, pelvic or pulmonary pain or dysfunction, pay a visit to a major treatment medical doctor or professional immediately. Prognosis is enhanced and remedy is a lot more effective for all asbestos-connected problems when identified early

The Austrian flag design is thought to be one of the oldest national flags in the world. According to legend, Duke Leopold V of Austria was fighting during the Siege of Acre. After the battle, his surcoat was red with blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth underneath was still white, inspiring the red and white horizontal stripes on this flag. The current version of the flag was adopted in 1984.
This flag is dyed on silky, lustrous rayon and is hemmed and mounted to a black pole topped with a gold-painted spear. The 4 in. x 6 in. flag is mounted to a 10 in. pole, while the 8 in. x 12 in. flag is mounted to an 19 in. pole including 1 in. spear. Base not included.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says there is no cause for alarm over the country's dwindling foreign reserves.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Isaac Okorafor, CBN spokesman, said the fall in reserves is due to a hike in interest rates by US Federal Reserve and the bank's interventions in the forex market
"It's also on social media that our reserves dropped by $1.45 billion in one month. We are not politicians. Of course, I want you to understand that the reserves level is a moving figure; at times, it rises and other times, it comes down. And as we speak, it's a little over $44 billion," he said at the 13th Abuja International Trade Fair.
"You'll recall that there was a time we survived on even $23.2 billion, the economy was running. Now, we are over $44 billion and the reason why it's going down gently is because there's a global squeeze on emerging markets: the Central Bank of the USA which is the Fed had been raising interest rate and you know international capital goes to where it earns better returns.
"So, those who came into our economy to take advantage of the returns here seems to have found better returns in the US and it's not just in Nigeria, it's happening to South Africa, Egypt, Pakistan, Iran, Argentina, Brazil, Turkey even China.
"China has lost over 1.3 per cent of its currency. Argentina lost 134 per cent; Iran, India, some of them lost 18 per cent, 17 per cent, but here in Nigeria, our currency has gained six per cent in the last one year.
"You can see that the reversal of capital flows which is eating most economies and bringing about depreciation in their currency is not affecting us for two reasons — we've built enough buffers of reserves to be able to tackle situations like these.
"Secondly, we're using the reserves to defend the value of our currency. So that also accounts for why it's dropping.
"Investors who brought in dollars, of course, we have a capital importation policy. If you bring your dollars, when you're leaving, we give it to you."
Okorafor said the reserves can support between 17 and 18 months of import whereas the international standard is three months import.
At present, Nigeria has $44 billion in its foreign reserves.

People thrash non-locals for trying to unfurl Indian flag in Srinagar's Lal Chowk
Locals on Tuesday thrashed a few non-local youth belonging to right wing party Bharatiya Janata Party after they tried to hoist the Indian flag at Srinagar's city centre, Ghanta Ghar.
It was not immediately known who the person was. Reports said as soon as the man tried to unfurl the flag, people present there stopped him. However, the police reached the spot and detained the person.
This is not the first time that such incident has taken place in Lal Chowk.
Last year also, around a dozen activists of rightwing Shiv Sena tried to hoist the tricolour at the clock tower, but were detained by the police.
In 1992, when militancy was at its peak in Kashmir, the then BJP president Murli Manohar Joshi, who was accompanied by some party colleagues, unfurled tricolor at the historic place on the occasion of Republic Day.

David Whyte, Riverhead Books, 2009.
Reading notes
January 2014
David Whyte is someone worth knowing about if you find some interest in this site… and you may already know him by the way. He is a poet, speaker and essayist who keeps exploring, in many talented ways, the meaning of life and of our quests. You can get more information on him and on what he is doing on www.davidwhyte.com.
In this book, the core idea is that we tend to be engaged in three marriages: the one we can naturally think of, i.e. with a partner in life, the one with our work, i.e. with our actions in the world, and the one with ourselves, i.e. with our true self. The purpose of the book is to explore these marriages, their commonalities, their mutual relationships and the way they can together contribute to a life worth living.

Anyone who knows me or follows my work will attest to the fact that I'm bonkers for Badgers. In July of 2016, I started working at a relatively large sett tucked away in dense woodland in the Peak District National Park. Little did I know that what started as a photographic project would turn into a complete and utter obsession.
Badgers are a heavily misunderstood and persecuted species; many people believe them to be vicious, aggressive and disease ridden. The media often portrays them as such, and many are familiar with the current campaign against them which falsely blames them for the rise and spread of bTB. Thousands of Badgers are targeted each year despite the legal protection afforded to them. This is reason enough for some people to increase persecution through baiting, lamping, snaring and shooting. What many people don't see is how Badgers actually behave behind the scenes… after all they are nocturnal and can be highly elusive.
Luna with a newly formed scar above her left eye & cataracts. This scar could easily be from her stumbling into something.
With over 2,000 hours of observation in the past two years alone, I've seen behaviours that to my knowledge have never been recorded before. Luna, the dominant Sow, has collected Blackberries from the nearby bushes and then called her cubs over with a low, guttural purr, passing these berries on rather than eating them herself. Cubs interact, play, argue and puff themselves up like a frightened cat when spooked or unsure. Luna has been observed treating the submissive Sows cubs like her own, grooming and guiding them through life above ground. Even the smaller details seeing that the back claws are almost always worn down more than the front.
They are highly intelligent, social and loving animals. Despite the belief that they'll tear a limb off if you come across one in the dead of night, they are in-fact terrified of their own shadow and will run away long before they attack a human. Only if cornered or heavily threatened will they defend themselves and in all the time I've spent with them, I've never once felt threatened.
Meet the Family
The two current generations at the Elder Clan.
In my first season watching Badgers it was extremely difficult to identify individuals within the clan; Luna did not have cataracts at this point, the cubs were all very similar and Midnight & Mackey were extremely elusive. Midnight was sighted perhaps 3-4 times and it's only possibly to recognise this from previous image records, however Mackey was easy to distinguish and one of the first to be named, due to his bulbous head and various marks and scars. Later in the season, one of the cubs was called Bean & Luna was identified due to being very 'shaggy' compared to the others, it wasn't until the second season of observation that she developed a cataract in her left eye and a notch in her right ear. The more time I spent with them the more I would pick up on each individuals personality as well as small differences in their appearance, allowing me to start developing a record of their habits. I had read and spoken to numerous people who informed me that cubs will leave the sett to find a new family in the first 6-12 months, yet at this sett this was absolutely not the case, with cubs staying until they were 1 1/2 to 2 years of age before dispersing. This could be to do with food availability and space, as this sett is significant with over 20 entrances and ample foraging opportunities.
A sample of some of the data collection and research I've been doing alongside the photography
Alongside the photography and visual observations, I've also been recording emergence times and what influences this; human disturbance, weather and light all seem to have some impact but the data can still surprise me. Strong wind and loud noises from people nearby all often lead to emergence being later than usual, however there are also occasions when they seem to have no impact at all. Whilst it was never my intent to habituate or desensitise the Badgers to my presence as I have not made them associate me with food, this is something that has happened naturally. They know my scent and voice and therefore are at ease around me. During periods of bad weather or drought, I leave food and water for them away from the sett but this is not put this out until I've finished working with them on the night, opting to observe and photograph natural behaviour that would otherwise not be possible if they were busy scoffing goodies. It would also impact observations and figures for their emergence time. This supplementation is introduced and removed gradually to ensure they do not become dependant and offers a variety of healthy and natural food when times are tough. Badgers diets consist of up to 80% Earthworms, and when these are plentiful Badgers have no need to drink water as they receive all their hydration from the 200+ earthworms they can consume in a single night. They will also eat carrion, fruits, nuts, berries, bulbs, Rabbits, eggs and honey, plus scraps and other food they can get their hands on, but Earthworms are their absolute favourites and they can easily sniff them out deep underground.
Thor emerges in the evening light.
I'm often asked how I tolerate spending as much time with them as I do. After all, I must be bored of capturing the same image over and over again. The fact is that even if I walk away with no images I'm happy to just sit and watch. It also increases my chances of capturing unique or new behaviour by dedicating so much time with them, with some behaviours I've only witnessed once in my entire time with them. To me this makes the time more than worthwhile even though it impacts other photographic projects and commitments. I run the Instagram page @badger_diaries to help show others how incredible these animals are and many people are now as involved as I am in their daily lives and activities. I'm also frequently asked a variety of questions, of which I'll answer some below.
Luna preens Thor in the late evening sun.
What do Badgers smell like?
Like Humans, all Badgers smell slightly different however members of the same clan will often smell similar as they share living space and mark one another with scent glands. Some Badgers I've worked with have no smell whatsoever, whereas some smell like dry mud. Some can also have quite a strong musky smell, but the worst smelling Badgers I've smelt shared their setts with Foxes which I suspect was partially responsible!
What sounds do Badgers make?
Badgers have a variety of vocalisations but are generally quiet animals. That being said, vocalisations can be complex and each mean different things.
• A low, guttural purr – Usually by a nursing Sow to call her cubs over or reassure them. There are various pitches and lengths of this purr.
• Chattering / Chitter – Most common vocalisation. Usually when playing or trying to instigate play by cubs. Can also made when a Badger is very happy or, but through fear or pain (Badgers are complicated…)
• Long groan – 'You're annoying / irritating me'
• Yelp – Usually if a Badger is playing too rough or hurts them, the Badger on the receiving end will let out a yelp to tell them to be gentler.
• Snarl/hiss – Very rare vocalisation: this is an angry Badger or likely one that feels threatened. If you hear this and it's directed towards you, you're doing something desperately wrong; back off immediately.
• Snort – Usually a startled or surprised Badger, but can also be heard when they are grooming one another.
• Scream – A very distressed or upset Badger, but can also be during mating!
There are other vocalisations but these are ones I've heard either in person or through trail camera footage.
If I come across a Badger will it attack me?
No, unless you back it into a corner or directly threaten it, it will run away. Attacks on humans are almost unheard of and Badgers are big pansies!
Can I keep a Badger as a pet?
No! Badgers are legally protected in the UK meaning it's illegal to keep them as pets. They're also far more suited to life in the wild with their own kind; do not get a Badger as a pet no matter where you are in the world!
Do Badgers have striped skin?
Only the Badgers fur is striped, their skin is usually a pink to dark brown/pink colouration.
Are Badgers dirty?
No, in fact they pride themselves on keeping clean! Often their nightly routine will begin with a grooming session that can last anywhere up to an hour. This helps to clean away any mud from their fur and remove parasites. For the pesky bits they can't reach, they'll enlist the help of fellow clan members. They also regularly air their bedding to reduce the parasite load & have even been known to actively search for plants with anti-parasitic properties such as Garlic to keep in their sett bed chambers. Badgers use latrines, which are small pits to do their business in and keep things tidy; they will not defecate in their setts or near entrances.
What's a group of Badgers called?
Usually a social group of Badgers will be called a clan or a cete. Males are Boars, females are sows and the young are cubs. I refer to Badgers between 1-2 years of age as yearlings but others may refer to them as sub-adults.
Do Badgers Hibernate?
In some sub arctic locations they are known to hibernate, but in the UK they do not. They become less active in winter (also known as torpor) as food availability drops.
I want to feed some Badgers, what can I give them?
If you're in a position in which you wish to feed Badgers, there's a few important things to keep in mind. 1. Don't make them reliant on you! 1 handful of food per Badger at the most and don't feed them every single night. 2. Don't feed them anything artificial – natural foods are best. The very occasional treat is OK but remember we want to keep them healthy and happy. 3. Ensure that feeding them isn't putting them at risk from conflict with humans etc. With this in mind, I recommend the following foods;
• Peanuts
• Sultanas
• Grapes
• Blackberries
• Bananas

Add This To Your Cart, You Won't Regret It ~ EDM Style Guide by Samantha
I see you've made your way back to me one way or another so now that I know you trust a sister's judgement, I'm going to fill you in on some more of my dirty little secrets. Don't even tell me you weren't waiting for my next post, staring at the calendar waiting for it to be Monday all over again so you can sit shot gun right beside me on this trendy journey we've started together. Now that I've filled you in on some dope camo fashion featuring yours truly, I wanted to give you some tips on some more essentials you need to tuck away in your closet. You need to know that they're must haves and perfect for the next time you procrastinate, like me, buying tickets to a show or a festival and you have about 3 hours to put together a head to toe outfit that has to be serving looks. I'm letting you know now that if you keep these MUST HAVES around, you'll be thanking me later.
First things first, if you don't own a pair of vans, especially these, than you gotta check these out! I hope as you're getting to the end of this sentence, you're adding these to your cart. Let me tell you, these vans give me life and revive the lives of those around you. The classic Old Skool black and white pair, they're not a want, they're definitely a NEED. I recently hopped on the van train and I couldn't be loving it anymore. This sister won't be getting off at the next stop because these shoes are an essential to your collection along with your Dr.Martens. They super trendy for whatever vibes you're going for and they keep your feet from anyone even daring to step on them. Wear these with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a bodysuit or your favorite bodycon and I promise you'll be killing the game. So again, yes, NEED!
Quick! If you don't have about a hundred denim jackets in your wardrobe than this sister is gonna help you out, starting with this one. Oversized denim jackets are for real, for real, what you need right now. I can't tell you how many nights were saved with my favorite distressed denim jacket. Don't sit here and tell me you've never had one of those nights when you can't figure out what to wear and 60 seconds later you're over it and don't even wanna leave the house anymore. Seriously, invest in a denim jacket and you won't regret it. We've all been there. You're not you when you aren't trendy.
If there ever was a trend I fell harder in love with then I ever thought possible, it would be boyfriend jeans. Love, love, LOVE! Talk about must having to own enough to build a house out of them. I absolutely love boyfriend jeans and I could live in them for the rest of my life if it ever came down to it. Wearing them gives such chill vibes when throwing them on with a knotted oversized tee BUT can be made a little more risque when you pair them with a killer bodysuit whether it's opened back or mesh, you'll see eyes following you all night.
Dad hats…where do I even begin? Well, we can start with the endless bad hair days that throwing on a dad hat has saved me from. Picture this, your seconds away from walking out the door, you're hyped up and ready to go to the show, you take one last look in the mirror and well, dry shampoo just isn't going to cut it. You're about to have a mental breakdown and tempted to shave your head, but wait! You don't have to anymore because sister over here talked you into adding a dad cap to your attire and now you throw that baby on and you're ready to dance the night away.
Basic? Maybe, but I'm telling you every girl needs a little black bralette in their closet. Might be hanging on your door handle but you know it's always there. When your laundry from the weekend has piled to the ceiling and you're left with nothing to wear, this bandeau will be your knight in shining armor. Plus, what's even better is it's so much comfier then any bra you'll ever find. Let's be real, who even likes wearing bras? You can wear it alone with a pair of high waisted shorts or jeans, or even throw it under a sheer mesh black top and you will have all eyes on you when you're living it up all through the night.
Trust me, add these staples to your wardrobe and you'll be thanking me again later. I mean come on, who has better fashion advice then me? I know that you wanna serve looks and be the only one doing so. Stay fashion forward and ahead of the trends by reading my weekly EDM Style Guide. Now this isn't just my lane, it's yours too.

Carballo, the 2018 Order of Merit winner in the Asian Development Tour, found himself in a three-way sudden-death playoff when he scored 1-over par at the 18th hole. This marred a spectacular round for Carballo, who carded a 64 in the final round with six birdies and an eagle.
The Argentina-native started the day four shots behind the leader, Korea's Kim Joohyung. Carballo opened the final round with a bogey on the first hole, but the golfer rattled off five straight birdies starting on the sixth hole to take the tournament lead.
The leader going into the final round, Kim, shot a 68 on Sunday. The 16-year-old phenom posted three birdies and one bogey on his way to joining the playoff group.
Kim never seemed to find the rhythm in the fourth round that guided him to lead the tournament after Friday and Saturday.
Chinnarat Phadungsil, looking for his fourth career win on the Asian Tour, joined the playoff after carding an impressive final round five-under 65. Chinnarat's scorecard was free from bogeys as the Thailand-native finished his round with seven straight pars.
After Carballo missed his par putt on the 18th hole in regulation, the stage was set for the three golfers to play the finishing hole once again, for the championship.
After hitting their drives and irons on the first playoff tee, Chinnarat's second shot flew the green leaving him in a tough spot to save par.
Kim's second shot on the playoff hole found the green but left the teenager with a long birdie putt.
Carballo then knocked his approach shot from the fairway to six feet from the pin, leaving him a short putt and a strong chance to win the tournament.
After Chinnarat failed to find the cup with his pitch shot, Kim stepped up and missed his birdie putt.
With another chance to win the tournament, Carballo dropped his six-footer for birdie and claimed the 2019 Singha Laguna Phuket Open title.
"I played solidly all four rounds and was hitting it good. All my birdie putts were either tap-ins or inside 10-feet and I gave myself a lot of chances. I made bogeys today on holes one and hole 18 which were the only two holes that I three-putted," said Carballo.
With the win, Carballo pockets B300,000 (US$9,425). Chinnarat and Kim earn B149,500 (US$4,697) for their second-place finishes in the tournament.
Other top-five finishers include Hein Sithu who finished in fourth place at 13-under for a B93,500 ($2,937) payday. In fifth, Danny Masrin pocketed B75,000 ($2,356) after his final round 69 put him at 12-under for the tournament.
First-round leader Nattawat Suvajanakorn stunned the field after posting a 62 on Thursday. The Thailand-native lost the lead on the second day with a one-over 71 and then struggled on Saturday with a five-over 75 knocking him out of contention.
ADT Tour money leader Itthipat Buranatanyarat finished in a four-way tie for sixth place at 11-under alongside Sam Gillis, Pannakorn Uthaipas, and Suradit Yongcharoenchai.
Another big story at the Singha Laguna Phuket Open was the professional debut of Phuket-based student Napat "Toy" Paramacharoenroj. The 17-year old missed the cut after carding his second straight 77 on Friday to finish 14-over for the tournament.
Last year's winner of the Phuket Open, Varanyu Rattanaphiboonkij, also missed the cut. His first day 70 was followed by a second round 74, leaving him five strokes from the cutline of one-under. For next year, a rangefinder will help to score better shots.
Carballo is currently playing on the Asian Tour, but his 2018 Merit of Order ADT win gave him an exemption to play in the Singha Laguna Phuket Open. Carballo last played on the PGA Tour in 2017 posting winnings of $186,623 during that season.
"I am very happy to win again. It is my second playoff victory on the ADT, and it came at the right time because I was planning on going back to Argentina for a month after this. My goal now is to win on the Asian Tour," Carballo said.
The victory at Phuket is Carballo's sixth professional win.
Carballo's playoff win brings a close to the Singha Laguna Phuket Open, the Tour's third stop in Thailand this season. The 2019 edition of the Singha Laguna Phuket Open marks the third straight year the ADT sponsored the tournament.
Managing Director of Laguna Golf Phuket, Ravi Chandran, called the four-day event a success.
"Thanks to All Thailand Golf Tour and Asian Development Tour for bringing this event back to Laguna Phuket, following our recent award of "Best Sports Event Venue in Thailand" at SPIA Asia.
"With our long history of destination sporting events including the Marathon and Triathlon, this professional golf tournament is now another highlight on our annual calendar," Chandran said.

The problem
My department is fortunate to have several multi-seat testing rooms for psychological research. The downside is the computers inside them are slightly ageing. They're several-year-old desktop machines with integrated graphics that were originally Windows 7, but have been converted to Windows 10.
Since that conversion, Psychopy, a great open-source experiment generator has been experiencing intermittent issues with graphics-related freezes. It's not all machines, and not all the time, but sporadically they hang for 4-5 seconds before updating the screen. This is bad news for some experiments. Psychopy does not officially support integrated graphics, so our attempts to get this resolved with the developers have so far met with limited success.
Some solutions I didn't go for
1. Upgrade the machines
A £30 discrete graphics card would probably do the trick, but with the number of machines we have across the department, that's still quite a cost overall.
2. Boot to Linux
We've never been able to replicate this hanging issue on any Linux machine, so it seems Windows specific. Unfortunately, booting from USB is disabled on these machines.
3. Use Linux laptops
Our lab is probably only testing six people at any one time, so we could buy a set of laptops for this purpose and just move them into the testing rooms when we test. This would work, but is potentially a bit expensive (perhaps £2000).
The solution I'm now trying:
Raspberry Pis are cheap, and the testing rooms already have monitors, keyboards and mice in them (connected to the desktop machines). So, total cost per seat is £51.75. That's for a Raspberry Pi 3, case, power supply, 8GB SD card, official power supply, and HDMI to DVI cable.
The Psychopy programs I've tested so far on this setup work fine.

Zara To Open A New Store In Mumbai, And It's Gonna Be HUGE!
If wishes were to come true, every fashionista would dream that her favourite high street brand becomes available at a location close to her. Because every girl deserves her retail therapy time, doesn't she? It seems like that wish has now been granted for fashion-loving girls from South Mumbai because they will soon have a new Zara store in their hood!
According to The Economic Times, the Spanish clothing brand has cracked a deal that's being touted as the biggest yet by any international retailer in India. Zara is leasing a 50,000 sq.ft. space on the ground floor of Ismail Building at Flora Fountain, one of South Mumbai's prime heritage locations. If sources mentioned in the article are to be believed, the brand will be paying annual rent to the tune of a whopping Rs 30 crores (or Rs 2.5 crore a month) on the lease. (Can you imagine the amount of product the brand intends to move to be able to make rent every month? The mind boggles! Also, we know where the #HauteSquad will be spending after hours once the space opens!)
In India, Zara outlets are operated by Inditex Trent, a joint venture between Spain's Inditex and the Tata Group. The brand has not come out with an official statement yet, and the spokesperson refused to comment to us either. Currently, Zara has 17 outlets in India, three of which are in Mumbai, at Palladium Mall (Lower Parel), Phoenix Market City (Kurla) and Infinity II (Malad).

Premature stage of onions is known as spring onions. It is also known as green onions, green leaves of onion scallions and onion leaves. They have less taste and flavor than onions. People who are passionate about cooking are very fond of this immature onion for its fresh flavor and aroma.

I take too much sugar in my coffee.
Sometimes life gives you a reflection of yourself in someone else and when you have so much in common, its like the good part is just the beginning. This someone is my friend, Tushar. We share our birthdays! He is sort of my alter-ego. I am not sure about it but lets see.
Here he is. One of the most unreliable people out there! 😆😆
I have no idea why I mentioned him here today. Maybe, I just wanted to set a milestone about him before he vanishes as usual. He just walks out on people,One of his perks I would say. But thats okay. 😋

Under Corbyn we're moving… to the left
15 March, 2019
Jeremy Corbyn
• IN the May 2017 election, the Labour Party gained 40 per cent of the vote, and the largest increase in its share of the vote since the 1945 election. Jeremy Corbyn, who had started the campaign 20 per cent behind in the polls, achieved this result following two years of attacks from all sides.
Does this completely unexpected result explain the extraordinary escalation in the onslaught from the BBC and other establishment institutions since then? Do the countless absurd smears stem from the fact that Jeremy Corbyn and his policies are now recognised as a very real threat to the establishment?
The Labour MPs opposing him clearly see their power base in the party, established over the past 30 years, as under attack, but know that, with half a million party members behind him, a further challenge to his leadership would fail. They do not understand that the era of submission to Thatcherite policies is over.
Anyone standing outside a polling station in 2017 could see what these Labour MPs cannot: instead of the usual trickle of elderly voters, large groups of enthusiastic, optimistic young people turned up to demonstrate that they had not been fooled by unfounded smears of anti-semitism and espionage, and that they understood that the Labour leader was under attack from all sides because he stood outside the establishment, and because his policies threatened the political dogma which had prevailed since Margaret Thatcher.
The people are eager for change. Jeremy Corbyn's policies articulate their anger at failed privatisations of public services, and widespread deregulation. They want a government that serves the people, not powerful vested interests.
Ordinary Labour members want to be able to select MPs who will not undermine the party's democratic procedures or sabotage efforts to achieve a Labour government. In Islington, we have two courageous, principled MPs willing and able to confront the powers that be, knowing power never cedes without a fight. It's for us to support them.
It was a Labour MP from the left that brought us our most treasured institution, the NHS. Now that the country is suffering under Tory austerity we need to maintain confidence that we have the right policies, and prove the BBC correct in its assessment that politics has indeed changed, and moved, with the Labour Party, to the left.

The award recognises nurse(s) who demonstrate the best qualities of patient care and the ethos of nursing.

There is not a single corner of Lanrig Ward which doesn't get the utmost care, attention and professionalism keeping all the patients at the heart of everything they do.
Every aspect of care has been singled out from admission, nursing care, food and nutrition to hairdressing, worship services, cleaning and many more in between and each with an explanation of just why the staff in Lanrig Ward go above and beyond.
Both on admission and during the patients stay, staff are on hand to talk through each and every detail in a friendly and understanding manner. They always have time to listen to their patients and their relatives and are polite, pleasant and professional.
The patience of the staff is evident when they are often faced with difficult and extreme circumstances, verbal abuse and long periods of shouting, yet no one is fazed by this. They continue doing their job, always remaining professional and calm.
'Special – beyond the normal expected' are the words of one relative while visiting their wife. There have been a numbers of occasions which all give credit to the staff being referred to as special including when hearing of a relative visiting both Lanrig then QEUH and back to Lanrig the staff went out of their way to find some sandwiches and biscuits when they heard the relative hadn't eaten all day due to their busy visiting schedule. They also helped dig out a relative's car when it became stuck in deep snow!

Janette and Susan provide excellent care to patients and expressed exceptional leadership skills when they were required to take charge on the ward for several months. The support and coaching they provided to the staff on the ward following staff bereavements and other exceptional circumstances was incomparable.
They encourage and empower their team to provide excellent quality care every day.
The ward encountered a series of personal bereavements and Janette and Susan showed exceptional kindness and compassion helping colleagues in crisis and were instrumental in supporting their team to move forward.
They have gone above and beyond on countless occasions, supporting all those affected by the losses felt acutely in their ward.
Janette and Susan also ensured that the quality of the care provided to patients was maintained during this difficult time for staff.
During the winter snow period they also travelled from Lesmahagow by car and went to exceptional lengths to ensure the ward was safely staffed by picking up staff for work and getting them home safely.
Their leadership has resulted in excellent audit results for care assurance and infection control.

Pat is a retired staff nurse, formerly of the Victoria Infirmary, with over 40 year's service. She celebrated a special 70th birthday at the beginning of this year, yet despite this she still works between two and three shifts per week, more if required for the service, as a bank nurse.
More often than not these shifts are given at short notice in response to unexpected absence to work in a busy ward that otherwise would be left unsafe. Time and time again Pat has proven her dedication to the service by putting others needs first. Examples of this range from cancelling her own personal arrangements at short notice to work, to walking several miles through heavy snowfall to get to work when others couldn't.
The wards that Pat works in are extremely busy surgical wards and she is regarded very highly by all staff and patients for her kindness, caring and compassionate attitude. Pat works as diligently and enthusiastically as those more than half her years.
She continues to fulfil all standards of the NMC code, keeping her professional knowledge and skills up to date often doing so in her own time. She truly is a lovely lady and colleague and plans to revalidate her professional registration again for the next three years.
