Sean Clark's Blog
I'm back from my latest month (my fifth in total) of teaching at Guangdong University of Technology School of Art and Design in China. Since it was the last session in this contract (I'll probably sign up to do more). I thought it was time for some reflection.
When I did the first session in April 2017, I didn't know what to expect. I was asked to teach "creative programming" to people who had not programmed before. My initial concerns were not just with programming languages to use but also with the human ones. How would the workshop work with people who I didn't share a first language? I also had a practical concern that I would have problems being behind the "Great Firewall of China" since I use a lot of internet resources. Finally, I wondered about my approach to teaching technical subjects through artistic projects. Would this work in China?
In terms of human language, yes, the language difference has at times be problematic. However, English is widely taught in China, and the University provided student translators. Plus, translator apps are getting better and can help in some situations. Ultimately, while language differences can slow things down, it has not proven to be a problem. Eventually, the message gets through.
However, in terms of computer language, it is definitely harder for people to learn to program using English command-based language when their first language is Chinese! When teaching Arduino coding, I have struggled to get more than a few students beyond the copy-and-paste stage. Most of the problems are to do with typing and syntax, not the concepts. Luckily, visual programming environments such as Scratch and BBC Micro:bit Blocks can be easily toggled between English and Chinese and I have found that Chinese students can make good progress with both of these. I always remind the students that, despite appearances, both of these are real programming environments that are not just for children.
The Great Firewall of China is an interesting one. The fact is that some valuable teaching resources are on sites that you can't get to in China. The inability to directly access YouTube and other Google sites are particularly problematic at times. However, it is also the case that everyone knows how to use a VPN to overcome these restrictions! I thought this would be something of a hush-hush topic, but if something is not available, then the VPN goes on, and people access it through one of those.
I'm happy to say that the arts-led teaching approach seems to go down well. I have progressively brought in more and more creative topics over the five one-month workshops. This includes using examples of early computer art as inspiration for programming tasks, getting students to recreate my hardware-based digital artworks in Arduino, and basing all the tasks during one of the months around Guangcai porcelain.
The overall experience has been a positive one, with some excellent work being produced by Chinese students. As is the case anywhere, some students are more motivated than others, but when they are keen on the workshops, Chinese students work particularly hard and can be very productive.
Details of the workshops and exhibitions - with pictures and supporting documents - can be found at http://interactdigitalarts.uk/fe-artlab. Contact me if you have any questions about the workshop programme so far.
Saturday 9th March saw Leicester's regular Create-a-con event at the LCB Depot. Among the exhibitors were Leicester Hackspace, R10 Music Collective and Interact Digital Arts. I was showing off some work in progress made using artThings technology. There was the large "LOL" light piece in the LCD Depot window; the connected "Colloquy" 3D printed works I last showed at In The Dark; and some new work that uses artThings to allow you to use your mobile phone as a controller for a big-screen video game.
This last piece is based around technology I have developed to allow people to interact with digital artworks via a mobile device. For a project to help celebrate 50 years since the first moon landing, it's being adapted to allow you to control video games on large public screens. The idea is that you scan a QR code, or enter a short web address, and then get to control old-school video games from your mobile.
It's still work-in-progress, but it was very useful to be able to test the technology out with live users. In general, it performed well. Even my simple game drew a crowd! I look forward to seeing what happens when we give the technology to *real* games developers!

Over the last week, I've spent quite a bit of time in London at the In the Dark exhibition at the Cello Factory in London. The exhibition was curated by the arts group Genetic Moo and supported by The London Group and the Computer Arts Society. Genetic Moo's aim for the exhibition was to literally hold the exhibition 'in the dark', with the only light in the gallery coming from the artworks themselves.
My contribution to the show was a network of connected artworks in the form of screen-based and light works. The five individual pieces connected to each other via WiFi and exchanged colours as they ran. I gave a short talk about the work and found that there was quite a bit of interest.
A set of pictures from the exhibition can be found on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/seancuttlefish/albums/72157677885498078

Last year I was asked to produce a lighting display for the main cafe window at the LCB Depot in Leicester to be installed throughout December. After working through a number of ideas, I settled on something that I call Lots of Lights, or "LOL". LOL consists of 20 internet-connected micro-controllers, each connected to a string of 50 bright LED lights. The resulting 1,000 LEDs can be made to play patterns, such as fades and chases, via an associated web application.
The lights were installed in the LCB cafe window to coincide with the Interact'18 exhibition and remained live for around six weeks.
As well as being an interesting work in its own right, the installation allowed me to test my latest artThings lighting technology. The controller I used for each light string contained a small device called a Wemos D1 - something I use quite a bit in my "connected" artworks. The D1 is small and cheap (as low as £1.50 each if you buy from China) and can be combined with a voltage regulator to create a small unit that can power and control the 50 LED "Neopixels" I often use.
While I knew this technology worked in the studio, what I didn't know for sure was how it would perform when used in large numbers and for an extended period. A previous experiment had shown me that not all WiFi routers let 20 devices connect to their WiFi network at the same time. I now use a TP-Link AC750 that can support up to 64 simultaneous devices (32 on each band). But would there be any additional problems?
The initial installation went well. The lights were bright, and the web app controller worked perfectly - scan a QR code, and the controller would pop up on the user's mobile phone and they could trigger patterns. However, after a couple of days, some of the LED strings would reset. Problems like this can be hard to diagnose, and it took many days to get to the root of the problem. It turned out that the Adafruit Neopixel and Adafruit MQTT software libraries I was using did not like working together. After a couple of days, they would cause the microcontroller to run out of memory and crash, leading to a device reset.
I found that by using a different lighting software library - in this case, FastLED rather than Neopixel - this problem went away and the micro-controllers would run for weeks without any issues. Luckily I only had to update the software on the D1s (albeit 20 of them) and not change the hardware. However, it did remind me of the importance of testing your code when installing a project like this. What works in the studio may not work the same way in a live environment.
Pictures of LOL, plus the workshop held on Saturday 12th January can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/seancuttlefish/albums/72157705953639835. Please contact me if you want to know more about the project.
The Interact'18 exhibition took place between 7th and 21st December 2018 at the LCB Depot Lightbox gallery. The show featured work by digital artists associated with Leicester - James Chantry, Andrew Johnston, Thierry Miquel, Joe Moran, Ernest Edmonds, Fabrizio Poltonieri, Anoushka Goodwin, Leila Houston, Michele Witthaus & Paul Rudman, Yi Ji, Alice Tuppen-Corps, Dave Everitt & Fania Raczinski, Peter Flint, Askokkumar Mistry and myself.
The aims of the exhibition were, first, show the full range of digital artwork produced in the city and, second, to introduce artists who may not have met before to each other. Leicester is a relatively small city, but it surprising how often I find people working in similar ways which have not met before. I think it achieved both of these goals.
The online catalogue for the exhibition can be found at http://interactdigitalarts.uk/interact18

An output from the exhibition is the Leicester Digital Artists Facebook group that will be promoting further opportunities for Leicester digital artists to show their work.
I've finally completed the documentation for the East Meets West: Innovation connections exhibition that I co-curated in Guangzhou, China, in November 2018. The updated web page contains information about the artworks shown together with a PDF of the exhibition catalogue and pictures of the workshops and the exhibition itself.
The catalogue for the Computer Arts Society 50th anniversary exhibition is now available for order from the Interact Digital Arts shop. The catalogue includes information about the artworks in the show, together with pictures of the Leicester and Brighton showings.
This is Interact's first "official" publication with an ISBN code. We think it looks great and we will be producing more catalogues and similar publications over the coming year if the self-publishing model works.
If you can, please support us by purchasing one of the limited edition print copies. The PDF will be made available for free download at some point in the future.

Between the 13th and 23rd September 2018, the Computer Arts Society's CAS50 Exhibition was on display at Phoenix in Brighton. The opening of the exhibition took place on Thursday night at the same time as the Lumen Prize exhibition in the same venue, and both were part of the launch of the annual Brighton Digital Festival. It was a very well-attended launch, with lots of people expressing interest in the combination of historical work on show as part of CAS50 and the contemporary work in the Lumen show.
Amongst the earliest work on display in the CAS50 show was a collection of computer printouts from Roger Saunders, who began studying in Brighton almost exactly 50 years ago this month. His work, plus all the others in the show, can be seen on the CAS50 website at http://www.computer-arts-society.com/cas50.
The CAS50 collection is still growing, and we have several possible exhibitions lined-up for 2019. Keep an eye on the Computer Arts Society Facebook Group for the latest news. Pictures from the previous shows can also be seen on the CAS50 website.
My latest collection of computer-generated artworks, called "27", was premiered at the LCB Depot as part of the Gallery Without Walls project on Saturday. This represents the coming together of two projects.
Firstly, the exhibition itself is the completion of a work cycle that started with two works that were part of the Resonance exhibition with Esther Rolinson in Leicester last December, then became part of the East Meets West exhibition in Guangzhou, China in April and is now a stand-alone exhibition in its own right.
27 is based around my self-organising visual systems. The main building blocks of the piece are groups of three connected grids that grow together by exchanging colours and sorting them according to pre-defined rules. After the grids have been running for a while, I capture an image and then combine the images to form larger images. These larger images are then arranged according to additional rules.
The result is a system of patterns-within-patterns where the "parts" make "wholes" that then become parts in larger wholes and so on. In the case of this exhibition, nine locations around Leicester each have three images, which are each composed of three connected grids, which are each composed of 25 colours.
The locations selected to show the work are part of Gallery Without Walls. This is a project I've been working on with Graff.io Arts for over a year now. We have been building a network of venues around Leicester where we can show artists' work as part of "distributed exhibitions". 27 is the third show we've put together, hence my exhibition is also known as GWW03.
It's great when two projects meet like this. It's also very satisfying for me to complete this creative project in this way. Graff.io Arts are expert printers, and the work looks excellent. It will be popping up at the various venues around Leicester shortly.
For more information, visit http://gallerywithoutwalls.uk/gww03.
The work will be on display until the end of August when GWW04 will take over. More details on this to follow.
Today I ran a PixelArt workshop as part of the Spark Festival at Phoenix in Leicester. The primary purpose of the workshop was to have some fun, but it is also part of a project I have been working on. The idea is to create a system for creating and exchanging 16 x 16-pixel images via an app and have them displayed on LED panels. You can see the results of today's workshop here, but also keep an eye out for future developments.

Ukrainian brides - beauty queens with the best qualities
Do you know that Ukraine is a country with the best mail order bride in the world? If you have heard only about the low level of salaries and the poor quality of life, then you know practically nothing about this country. Ukrainian girls systematically win international beauty contests, they win the hearts of foreign men, leave their native country and become beautiful wives. What is their secret? The article will answer all your questions!
What do foreign men say about Ukrainian brides?
They speak of Ukrainian women only positively. For many men the only reason for coming to Kiev or another city is single ukraine ladies.
Good housewives;
Smiling ...
Men from different countries find here brides for themselves, who later become wives and excellent mothers for common children.
Most foreigners are surprised by the combination of two opposing lifestyles in the country. This is the old world view and the Soviet approach in combination with innovative technologies and modern life. Perhaps these opposites make Ukrainian women so desirable for foreigners. Thanks to their classical upbringing, girls become caring mothers and wives, and thanks to modernity they look great and are smart.
Ukrainian women have always been distinguished not only by their beauty, but also by the ability to create harmony in the family. These qualities attract foreign suitors, as European and American women put their careers and other interests at first place. It is very difficult to meet a foreign girl for whom family values are paramount. And if you decide on datings in Ukraine, here you will find thousands of lonely hot Ukrainian women for a successful marriage. Many foreign men are sent to find a companion in Ukraine, following the example of successful marriages of friends.
Features of Ukrainian brides and their differences from foreign girls
Already in the first hours of your stay in the country you will notice the magical beauty of women. Don`t believe in this? Fortunately, you do not need to postpone all your business and urgently buy a plane ticket to be in Ukraine. You can see real brides on ukrainian dating sites. Be careful, because falling in love with these girls is easy. They have comely facial features. These are beautiful bright eyes, long eyelashes and expressive eyebrows, a neat nose, full lips and a gorgeous smile. Ukrainian girls do not have sharp corners in appearance, for example, pronounced cheekbones or sharp chin. This is the soft and tender beauty of real princesses.
Girls are able to emphasize their natural beauty, and most importantly - they look amazing in all conditions. They go to the store, to school with children, or to work with beautiful make-up. High heels, feminine dresses and stylish hairstyle are a daily norm for Ukrainian women and a rarity for overseas ladies.
The next feature is family values. It is believed that at the genetic level, Ukrainian women have the art of creating coziness in their home, cooking and caring for others. For them the daily household chores do not cause any discomfort, and even bring pleasure. Regular general cleaning and delicious borsch is far from an achievement, but a common thing. American, Italian and French women are definitely more concerned about their careers.
But do not think that Ukrainian girls can only be beautiful housewives. Very often they have a high education, are interesting companions and are well adapted to life, which allows them to work in various jobs.
Also foreign men are attracted to Ukrainian women by their condition. Support, the ability to admire a man, the manifestation of affection and care - men are delighted with these qualities. Every person wants to feel like a hero and very important for someone. Do you agree? If yes, be sure to pay attention to the ukraine mail order brides.
Only a Ukrainian woman is able to work, take care of her family and home, always look great and support her husband in all situations. Such a harmonious combination of qualities makes ukrainian real brides very popular.
Some men prefer girls with rounded shapes, others - thin princesses. In Ukraine you will find brides for every taste!
Femininity and inner strength of Ukrainian brides
They are fragile and vulnerable, while they can carry a five-year-old child in their arms and a heavy grocery bag. Most single ukraine ladies combine three girls at once: the mistress, the queen and the mother. When we talk about femininity, it's not about clothes or looks. Femininity is the ability to properly present yourself, to be light and graceful in all situations.
We can speak about the inner strength of Ukrainian brides for a very long time. Only they are able without hesitation, to move to another country, quickly explore its traditions, culture and language in order to feel comfortable. Also internal strength is manifested in the ability to solve conflict situations. These women do not make scandals and never give up. They know how to draw the right conclusions and get out of any, even the most difficult, situation. Ukrainian wife will be with you at any time and be sure to support.
More about the maternal instinct and thrift
As a rule, girls marry in 25-27 years. At this young age they are ready to have children and raise them. In most European countries at this age, girls only graduate from universities and seek to build a career, and closer to the age of 40 they can be realized as mothers and wives. Ukrainian women are ready to spend all their time with the children, they don`t need a nanny or housekeeper, because they skillfully cope with all matters. Women instill in children respect for adults, love for animals and the environment. Children grow up educated and healthy, thanks to proper nutrition and sports hobbies.
Ukrainian wives are homemakers who know a lot of secrets for perfect cleaning and are ready to compete with the best chefs in the world. They know how to cook soups, French meat, salads, a variety of cakes and so on. In everyday life they will choose healthy products and create from them real culinary masterpieces. These are not American women who prefer fast food and are ready to feed their children with convenience foods. With a Ukrainian wife, you will always be full and never come across gastritis. Cleaning is another fad of these pretty women. A mess in your house will not be noticed, so guests can come without even a warning calling on phone!
About love, loyalty and decency
The girl will surely surround you with warmth and care in family life. And during the candy bouquet period, each dating will turn into a real holiday for you. Ukrainian brides can enjoy simple things. You do not need to spend millions of dollars on gifts, because the girls from this country are not completely spoiled.
The low divorce rate with Ukrainian women speaks of their loyalty and decency. If a girl finds her prince, and family life develops safely, then she definitely will not look for a lover for herself. For her, not only physical contact is important, but also the morale of your souls.
We have already said that Ukrainian girls are very smart. Even in situations of conflict, they will not talk badly about you to their friends. In the face of like-minded people you will always look like a strong, brave and stunning man. Ukrainian women do not like to gossip, and as a close friend they want to see their husband.
But remember! In love for Ukrainian women is very important male attention. Even if you spend too much time at work and rarely see your beloved, do not forget to call her and write messages. Otherwise, your girlfriend or wife will feel abandoned and unnecessary. This state will deprive her of the desire to be the best wife, mother and mistress.
Where to find Ukrainian bride?
You do not need to fly to the country right now. Ukrainian women for marriage can be found in the brides agency. In past few years, online dating has been very popular. Thousands of men have already found their love, thanks to the Internet. Online dating in Ukraine often ends with weddings and the creation of strong families. Ukraine mail order brides - hundreds of profiles of real girls with their photos and detailed descriptions of them. You need to listen to your heart, carefully study the views on the life of the women you like and start to get acquainted. Already on the first dating you will understand whether you are compatible to each other. Do not forget to be a gallant gentleman and say compliments. If the first dating will show you that you are not ready to create a family with the chosen girl, do not despair. You will be able to return to the profiles of Ukrainian brides and find your love!

Civilian employees at NAS Whiting Field undergoing mandatory furloughs will be back to work after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced this week that the number of forced, unpaid days off would be reduced to six from the previous 11.
The furlough affected 320 employees, or around 60 percent of Whiting Field Department of Defense appropriated-funded workers, according to NAS Whiting Field spokesperson Lori Aprilliano. Those affected in the furlough are civilians that work on the military installation, not active-duty military members. Civilian employees work in administrative support positions, clerical support staff roles and in the bases' Morale, Welfare and Recreational Department.
Since the furlough began July 8, affected employees have taken five paid days off, accounting for 20 percent of a five-day workweek. Employees will be forced to take one more day off before the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30.
The DoD originally enacted the furloughs as an effect of sequestration, which forced automatic cuts in operating costs and training to meet budgetary shortfalls of more than $30 billion. Originally, the furlough was expected cut 22 paid days from the employees, but was cut back to 11 days after action was taken to cut spending.
"I want to thank our civilian workers for their patience and dedication during these extraordinarily tough times, and for their continued service and devotion to our department and our country," Hagel said. "I know how difficult this has been for all of you and your families."

Factors to Consider Before Starting a Business
You're excited about finally turning your awesome business idea into reality, but you aren't sure if this will become successful. Have you carefully assessed all the important considerations before you set up your business? A lot of business startups in the Philippines fail because their owners weren't able to consider the most important aspects of their enterprise.
Of course, you don't want your investments in energy, time, and money to go to waste. Before you take the plunge, take a step back and assess yourself and what you currently have. You need to be realistic with yourself and ask the following questions before you start a business in the Philippines:
- Is the business something I'm passionate about? Just because you like food and dining, doesn't mean you're sure to succeed as a restaurateur. Or if you're into arts and crafts, that's not a guarantee you'll make lots of money selling your handcrafted goods. Passion is different from interest. Passion is sustaining; interest is only fleeting. You have to make sure that you love (and can sustain your passion in the long term) what you're going to do. Passion will make managing your business a fulfilling experience.
- What's my vision for the business and how will I take it there? As an aspiring entrepreneur, you're the leader—you have to think about your vision and what you need to do to steer your business toward achieving your goals. This is where a creating a business plan becomes useful for any would-be business owner.
- Do I have enough funds? Setting up a small business in the Philippines can be very costly, especially for first-time entrepreneurs. So you have to be sure that your finances are sufficient to cover all the expenses related to your business. Evaluate the total cost you need to start and run your business and then check your available funds. Do you have enough money for equipment, rentals, furniture, licenses and permits, supplies, employee wages, and other business costs? If your personal savings isn't sufficient, consider other sources of business financing such as personal loans.
- Who will be my customers? Is there a market for your business idea? If so, what is your target market? Do a market research or survey to find out what their needs are and their problems or pain points that your business can solve. From your market research findings, create a buyer persona that represents your ideal customer.
- Who are my competitors? Your business concept may be great, but if the competition is tough, it's hard to propel your business to success. You need to identify your competitors and their market strategies. That way, you can think of your own strategies to get ahead of them by providing unique value to your customers.
- Do I have the right location for my business? When you're choosing the best location for your business, consider the costs of running your business in a certain area. Some locations have cheaper taxes and utility costs than others. Also, consider if most of your target customers live or work in your chosen business location.
- Do I know the rules? Businesses are regulated by laws and rules in every country, so it's important to read up on the relevant business laws in the Philippines. You don't want to get your business operations hampered by lawsuits filed against you for violating the law.
- Am I ready? Are you willing to give up your day job to manage your business full time? Are you willing to take risks? Can you take failures and rise above them? Do you have the qualities and skills needed to succeed as an entrepreneur? If your answer is yes to all of these questions, then you're well on your way to set up your business in the Philippines.
Starting a business is a serious undertaking—give it much thought before you take the plunge. May these questions help you evaluate your chances of success for setting up your dream enterprise.

Do Acne Antibiotics Stain Your Teeth?
On the off chance that your teeth or those of your kid are not as white as you might want, in spite of good eating routine and brushing propensities, it may not be your blame. A few prominent and helpful acne antibiotics have been connected to stained teeth if taken amid youth, before grown-up teeth have risen. The medications incorporate antibiotic medication, doxycycline and minocycline which are utilized as a part of treating acne, stomach ulcers and a few sorts of contaminations. This class of acne antibiotics has been as often as possible endorsed in the course of the most recent couple of decades, however their effect on creating grown-up teeth was not known until decently as of late.
The Impact on Teeth
The stains do not represent a wellbeing hazard and are simply restorative, yet are perceptible in any case. On account of this new learning, these medications are never again recommended to youthful youngsters or pregnant moms. In any case, on the off chance that you are one of the millions conceived too soon to profit by these adjustments in restorative care, you have a few treatment choices accessible.
Ease Solution
Teeth brightening is normally an exceptionally fruitful and generally minimal effort choice, particularly in mellow cases. In these medicines, an uncommon brightening arrangement is utilized to expel the stains from the surface of the teeth. The outcomes are dependable, however not compelling for everybody because of the treatment's absence of penetrative power. Proficient office medications and over-the-counter packs for in-home utilize are accessible, yet know that a portion of the more drawn out term home medicines can cause affectability in your teeth and gums.
Reestablishing the Tooth Surface
Dental holding is another choice. For this situation, a dental specialist applies a thin cement layer to the surface of the stained teeth. Instead of expel the stain, the flawed veneer is veiled by the holding layer. This alternative has the upside of a shorter treatment period than teeth brightening; be that as it may, if stains are sufficiently dim, they can once in a while still show through the holding layer, or blend with the attaching to make another undesirable shading, commonly caramel or dim. In such cases, teeth brightening medications might be suggested early, trailed by a holding application as the last stride.
Enhancing the Most Serious Stains
At long last, dental lacquers can treat even the most extreme stains. For these medicines, paper-thin segments of porcelain are custom-fit to coordinate your teeth, and the tint and additionally murkiness of the lacquers can be changed in accordance with mix well with your normal tooth shading. Cost can be a restrictive factor for some dental spending plans, yet can keep going for quite a long time.

Things to do
The five-mile roundtrip out-and-back hike to Bear Creek Falls starts in downtown Telluride and follows a shady trail through the Bear Creek Preserve. Take West Colorado Avenue (Main Street) to South Pine Street. There's no public parking at the trailhead, but there is paid parking along the street. Cross the bridge over the San Miguel River and head south on a well-worn trail that follows the west bank of Bear Creek. You'll pass access points to other trails like the Wasatch Trail as well as gorgeous aspen groves and unparalleled views of the wild San Juans. The frozen falls are especially beautiful in winter (bring your snowshoes!), and in the spring as the snowmelt gushes down the mountains and into the creeks.
Pro Tips
- Telluride is known for its summer festivals. Time your waterfall hike to coincide with the world-renowned Telluride Film Festival held annually in August, the early summer Hot Air Balloon Festival, the iconic Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the hard rocking RIDE Fest, and many more.
- There's no place like Telluride. Wander along Main Street, stop in Brown Dog Pizza for a beer and some award-winning pies, and don't forget to take some stunning pictures on Main Street looking up toward Bridal Veil Falls.
- If you have more time, rent a Jeep in Telluride for the day or a whole week and explore the many San Juan Mountain passes outside of town. These mountains are dense with mining history — Imogene Pass is particularly interesting as the town of Tomboy sits in the basin just below the summit. At the turn of the 20th century, the Tomboy Mine was the highest grossing gold mine in the country.

- Review by Leo Mayr - 6/7/18
Bear McCreary never seems to rest. Besides scoring countless TV shows and several movies, somehow now he has found the time to compose the score for the new God Of War videogame. While McCreary is no stranger to videogames, his efforts here managed to exceed any expectations I could have had.
Starting with the phenomenal main theme, McCreary instantly captures the tone of the game perfectly. The theme is a loud and aggressive, yet also deeply emotional piece that perfectly represents the aged Kratos. While musically, the theme isn't overly complex, it's memorable enough to stick with you right away, making you wish you were playing the game every time it pops into your head.
Throughout the game, the theme pops up every now and then, creating some truly special moments of storytelling that are not as common in interactive media as they should be. Something as simple as turning the camera to reveal Kratos standing there is made memorable just by having the opening to that theme played once.
McCreary's score is mostly orchestral, with a few touches of Norse culture and a stunning choir to create quite a unique soundscape for the game. Yet you can almost always recognize McCreary's own style in the music.
As it's a God Of War game, there's a lot of punching things into bits, and the action music is right on point. The music is loud and intense, always pushing you further and keeping you on the edge of your seat. For a videogame score it's unusually well structured, and can end up feeling more 'cinematic'. There's more than a few lengthy tracks on the album that do a great job at showing off the score.
The game contains a surprising amount of emotional depth, and McCreary's score is equally impressive. While it's easy to overlook the calmer, more personal moments amidst all the mayhem and carnage, the score does a great job at tying the journey together and making you relate to the characters. "Salvation" for example is a truly stunning piece, and at nearly 7-minutes it's quite unusual to find it in a big budget action game called God Of War.
The game was designed as one single take, so the camera never cuts. In that same way, there are few moments where the score feels like it was patched together, instead the music is dynamically adapting to whatever is happening on screen with few noticeable cuts.
God Of War is a stunning videogame score that reminds us how well musical storytelling can work even in a triple-A title like this. In a flood of open-world sandboxes, the more linear games that focus on story over large playgrounds also tend to allow more developed musical storytelling. While it's not unusual to see fantastic scores in smaller projects, having a game of this scale use its score to the fullest potential is something you don't want to miss.

I just made my own paprika powder. Awesome.
This is the first year I've grown paprikas and so far I'm really pleased. I was confused at first when the plants loaded up with peppers that went from green to a creamy ivory and just stayed that way. I was sure I'd done something wrong. But a quick look online assured me that all was as it should be, I was just being impatient.
So I watched as the peppers went from this
to this
Almas are a thick-walled, heart-shaped cherry type pepper. They are warm and sweet with just a hint of spicy when eaten fresh. When dried the flavor deepens and has an added richness to it. I'm hoping that when I've filled the jar I've designated with paprika powder that there will still be enough peppers left over to take to my friend Jim for smoking. Then I'll dry and grind those for my own smoked paprika as well!
Alma paprikas are an open pollinated heritage variety so as I prep the peppers I save the seeds for next year. I planted 12 of these this year. I'm going to double that at least for next year!
To Make Paprika
Wash, core, seed, and thinly slice the peppers, then spread them out on dehydrator racks.
Dry for 6 hours at 125F. Allow the peppers to cool and then test for dryness. They should be crispy, not flexible.
If you can bend and not snap them, return the peppers to the dehydrator until completely dry. If you're drying in the oven spread the peppers out on cookie sheets lined with foil or silicone mats. Heat the oven at it's lowest setting. Put the peppers in the oven, leaving the door open a crack. If possible, set a fan to blow into the oven for circulation. Keep a close eye on the peppers since you are drying at a much higher heat than a dehydrator. They will get done faster. Use the same test as above to check for dryness.
Once you have the peppers dried, grind them to a fine powder in a coffee/spice grinder or a food processor. The little spice grinder is the way to go and makes quick work of powdering the peppers. The food processor will do it eventually but takes longer and is a bit fiddly because there's so much space for the peppers to escape to.
I know that the amount of sliced peppers on the rack in the photos above looked pretty skimpy. I had two racks like that from slicing 5 peppers and didn't expect much return after I powdered them. I didn't weigh it, my scale is pretty crude, but I actually ended up with this much in an 8 oz jar.

Christmas morning, there is no sleeping late, even though Primo and I did not get back to the house until 2:00 a.m., because Sly and Doris get up at 7:00 a.m. and if they are up, everyone is up. Why should they try to be quiet? Why should they not watch TV? It is their house!
We open gifts after breakfast, a meal of which I partake greatly, eating more than I would usually eat, even though it is not even good food and I hate eating until I feel stuffed, because I know we won't be eating again for hours and hours and hours.
What IS it with these people? How do they make it from breakfast to 4:00 p.m. without eating? Is there something wrong with me that I can't do that?
Primo: Mom, these are the same kind of knives Goldie uses at home. I got a set for myself, too. They are really nice. Cooks Illustrated gave them a really high rating. We noticed that you are using some really old knives. I want you to have something new and nice. It's not safe for you to be using those old, dull knives.
Doris: These are very nice!
Sly: We don't need new knives.
Primo: Dad. You do. The knives you have are dangerous. I do not want Mom to cut off her finger.
Me: They're dull, and a dull knife is a dangerous knife. Doris, I love these knives. They make all the difference in the world. They are really nice to work with. I think you'll like them.
She looks at Sly and when he isn't looking, sneaks a smile at me.
Ha. I win.
Doris hands a flat, smallish box to Primo. Maybe a gift certificate to Williams Sonoma! A cash equivalent so he can get something he wants for a change. No, my mother did not raise me that way, so don't go blaming her for my tackiness.
It contains a framed 8x10 color photo.
Of Sly and
Doris. Grim and glaring at the
Of Sly and
Primo: I don't know what to say.
Well, who would?
Interpreting Primo's stunned almost silence as hesitance to express a negative opinion about the quality of the frame, Doris hands a second frame to him.
Doris: Here's another frame if you don't like that one.
Primo: Which one do you like, honey?
Me: Oh, you pick.
Primo: Which one do you like, honey?
Me: Oh, you pick.
Primo: No, you!
Me: You should decide. It's going to be in your apartment. My opinion is not relevant.
Primo: Oh come on. Which frame looks better? The dark one or the light one?
Me: Fine. The dark one.
That's it? That's his Christmas present? After he has spent his vacation time cleaning their garage and cat box?
No! Of course that isn't all!
With both hands, Doris reaches under the tree, lifts a box slowly and carefully, and passes it to Primo. This one is the size of a shoebox.
My heart jumps in my chest. Shoes! She does get me! We do have a connection! Shoes!
Maybe they are expensive shoes. I've never had really expensive shoes. I've never spent more than $150 on a pair of new shoes[1] and that was for a pair of black leather boots that I planned to wear for at least five years. But I have coveted the expensive shoes I see online. Yes, I am a shoe coveter.
Clearly, I am not thinking. What should be going through my mind after the initial joyous thought of "Shoes!" should be, Idiot! Nobody buys shoes for another person unless she is with that person so she can try them on. Size 8 is not universal. There is no such thing as universality in women's clothing and shoe sizes, which is one of the reasons we love purses most of all. They always fit.
I'm not thinking. I am wondering why it seems heavy, heavier than shoes should be.
Tell me these shoes are not fabulous.
Wait. Why is she giving the box to Primo?
Because it's for him.
He opens it.
It's a cast-iron cat.
Let me repeat that in case you don't believe me.
It. Is. A. Cast. Iron. Cat.
Doris: Primo loves cats.
Point Doris. Primo does love cats.
She hands a box to me. It's small and light.
Probably not shoes.
I open it.
And – my own stupid fault.
Because I refused to provide a list this year, not wanting to seem like a greedy pig, Doris struck out on her own and got me a vase hand-painted with blue asters and purple butterflies.
Believe me when I tell you there is nothing like that in my house.
[1] Not that I don't value nice shoes. I get used Ferragamos on eBay. I like nice Italian leather shoes. I just don't want to pay $500 for them.

Lent begins in winter, when the daylight hours are short and the trees bare. By the time Lent ends, spring has started. I just walked in my front yard to see the crocus blooms. First the slender green shoots appeared, then happily, the purple blossoms. The world is getting lighter, in every sense.
In this passage Paul reminds us that God created light out of darkness in the first place. Out of utter darkness God created light, then a world for us to live in, then us with our senses to experience it. Then, Paul says, God took the darkness of the human heart and created light in it, when He sent Jesus. But Paul says that even though the light is there, some people don't yet have their spiritual senses. Like not being able to see the crocuses, some don't yet have the spiritual senses to experience things like the grace of God, blowing through our lives to give comfort or even joy.
Paul's great joy is to be able to open the eyes of those spiritually blind. Mercy is a term we use when someone weak is shown a great kindness. This is the term Paul uses to describe the gift that God has given him in being a minister; "through God's mercy we have this ministry…" (verse 1). Whenever you and I help someone experience God, God's mercy has given us a great gift. No wonder Paul then goes on to describe how he can persevere in the hardships he can experience in that great passage in verses 8 ff; " we are hard pressed, but not crushed…" Paul tells us, "I have some tough times (and remember how Paul suffered) but this is so exciting, I can't help but give thanks!!" We all, if we serve God, will have tough times but let us remember what a gift it is to be able to help.


text: Another brilliant cover by Postmodern Jukebox. This time, it's Outkast's Hey Ya! song, and as is most often the case, I think this version far outstrips the original. The original is a good song, for sure, but PMJ takes it to another level. That, and Sara is a phenomenal singer.

Erin + Lisa
Read Their Love Story!
Our love story hasn't always been a fairy tale, but hey that's reality. Erin and I met in the summer of 2010, through an online dating website. Our first date was at the local Starbucks. It was suppose to be a quick coffee meet and greet but ended up being 4 hours of talking and getting to know each other. As cliche as it sounds I knew after that date she was the person who I could finally tell the world about. You see we both had not come out to our families, I guess you could say we are late bloomers as she was 26 and myself 28. I think maybe it's because neither of us had found the one to feel comfortable and supportive enough to support the hard process of coming out in small town Ohio and all the judgment that goes with it. We finally found that in each other. Not only is being gay a challenge in society we also had to add into the mix my daughter who at the time was 6. Erin has stepped up I even think most days she is a better mother than myself. As a 6 year old not quite understanding the meaning of being gay and thinking it should be a mommy and daddy, we have raised her to understand not all families are the same and that's okay! Our daughter doesn't play favorites with us, she realizes she has two moms and knows that we both love her. Our love story has many different chapters including being best friends, family vacations, buying a new home, experiencing the death of a parent, adding a four legged fury puppy, becoming engaged, and simply being soul mates. The obvious chapters that are missing is our wedding, and growing old together. I feel like we deserve the perfect wedding. We are unable to wed in the state of Ohio, the cost to throw a wedding in a different state with our family and loved ones is not a possibility at this time. Winning this wedding would allow us to finally fulfill our love for each other and our family. Thanks for listening to our story!

The case of video production at the BBC Digital Media InitiativeMariategui, Jose-Carlos; Marton, Attila (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The unfolding of the paradoxical interplay between overarching institutional orders and domain-specific, situated practices has been a central theme of organization studies. With the rise of information and communication technology (ICT), digital infrastructures and the standards they foster are disseminating on a global scale based on the computational rationale of binary-based digitalization. The following paper will delve into this paradoxical interplay by studying digital video as it travels across work practices of broadcasting qua computational standards and processes. Using BBC's Digital Media Initiative (DMI) as a case study, we seek to assess how work practices are affected by the use of digital video throughout the editing process. In particular, we take a semiological approach in order to understand two distinctive image-intensive practices, news and long-form productions, and the ways they changed due to the implementation of a digital infrastructure. Thus conceived, we demonstrate how digitalization as a technical process decontextualizes digital video information, while the work practices related to their management rely on highly contextualized and situated information.

The emerging leaf is rolled and hairless (as in nearly all other Agrostis species)
Agrostis canina grows in damp/wet low nutrient places, - often with rushes.
It has stolons with several shoots growing at each node- so the shoots and leaves are slender and tiny. With so many shoots and leaves growing close together it looks like velvet.
It is easier to observe this late in the summer, when the stolons with their side shoots have had time to grow.
|A. canina at Thornton Ellers (Lower Derwent Valley NNR)
20 July 2016
|A. canina at Thornton Ellers
Comparison with similar species:-
Agrostis stolonifera also has stolons. It has one side shoot per stolon node, and its blades are usually greater than 2mm wide, whereas:
Agrostis canina has several shoots per stolon node and the blades are less than 2mm wide.
|A. canina at Straloch Moraine, Kindrogan July 2016,
growing amongst rushes.
|Closer view
From my experience the panicles are often a little more open than the extremely similar panicles of Agrostis vinealis.
However A vinealis has short rhizomes, with about 3 white scales on the rhizome before it turns upwards and forms a new green leafy shoot.

After Augustus reforms the rather heterogeneous collection of auxiliary units serving Rome was completely reorganized, given regular status and trained to the same standards of discipline as the legions
The men of the Auxilia were freeborn non-citizens living on the periphery or the Empire with a heavy preponderance of Gauls, Thracians and Germans and were rewarded with the Roman citizenship on honourable discharge from the Army
The higher organization of auxiliary infantry was the cohors peditata that came in two flavours: quingenaria, modelled after the typical legionary cohors and the most common by far, and milliaria, modelled after the legion's cohors prima
The cohors peditata quingenaria was under command of a prefect and consisted of six centuriae of 10 contubernium totalling some 480 men. Around the second half of the 1st century appeared a new kind of unit named cohors peditata milliaria which included ten centuriae instead of just six, was under command of a tribune and had a theoretical strength of 800 men.
Besides these pure infantry units auxiliary were also organized into pure cavalry (ala) and mixed (cohors equitata) formations.

(Image from My Future Listography by Lisa Nola)
Hello Readers!
Flipping through My Future Listography I'm confronted with a ton of a topics that I can't wait to share with you! And today's topic is one of the topics that I've been super excited to post about.
Today's topic is ………
List of TV Series To See
(Please note that this list is in no particular order)
I'm not a TV watcher by nature. There really is only one show that I will actively seek out to watch and that's The Big Bang Theory. But just because I'm not a TV watcher, doesn't mean that I don't want to be. In all honesty, I want to watch more TV! Why?I love all things pop culture – but TV kind of alludes me.
I can't tell you how many times I've been out and about with a group of people and they are all passionately talking about their favorite TV shows/series/characters and I'm just sitting there … quiet with no opinion to interject. And when asked, I admit that I don't watch any of the shows they are talking about. When I make that announcement I get the look — the look that says 'what rock are you living under?!'
I don't live under a rock, I just don't necessarily have the attention span to dedicate so much time to a television show. And let's be honest: because it's me we are talking about, I tend to set out to watch a series and then completely forget when the first episode is showing.
Anyway … enough about my TV watching habits (or lack thereof). Onto the list!
American Horror Story: When this series first aired I was stoked! Horror on TV! And not during the Halloween season! This show had me written all over it. But alas I completely missed the first few episodes and before I knew it I completely missed the entire first season. Fast forward to season two – I watched the first two episodes and seriously did not enjoy it. I felt that a lot was done for sheer shock value. And I'll be honest – that first episode with Adam Levine was just painful to sit and watch, and not because of the gore, it was because of his acting (sorry I'm not sorry for saying that!) I've watched a few episodes of Coven already and I have to say the ones I've seen I've really enjoyed and am looking forward to continue on with it. But I still have to watch Freak Show and the current season. One day I'll catch up!
Bates Motel: Psycho is one of my favorite horror movies of all times, so why wouldn't I love this show? It's on my to watch list (as are a lot of other shows/series).
Veronica Mars (Third Season): I checked out season one of Veronica Mars from my library and I binge watched it. I was hooked! I soon after binge watched the second season. But I have yet to get around to the third season … I just have no time.
The Man in the High Castle Season 1 (Amazon Series): After all the radio ads I was curious. And like every other show/series I've been curious about I forgot all about it.
Sleepy Hollow: Yes! I've actually watched a good majority of the first season. While far-fetched and not the cream of the crop, I really enjoyed it. I thought the acting was good, the storyline kept me interested, and the suspense was on point. But soon I missed one episode than another and yet another. Now I have no clue as to where the series has gone (or even if it's still airing to be honest).
This part of the list I'm going to simply list the shows that others say that I really need to watch, but not surprisingly haven't.
- Downton Abbey
- Dexter
- Penny Dreadful
- Breaking Bad
- The Walking Dead
So, dear readers what are some TV shows/series that you've been looking forward to watching?! Please share in the comments!

Update NAFTA
Changes are needed, but withdrawing from the pact would especially hurt Texas.
The farmers and ranchers hoping to hear some calming words or insightful policy positions about lucrative export markets didn't exactly get what they wanted during Donald Trump's speech to the American Farm Bureau Federation in Nashville earlier this week. Instead they were treated to a usual campaign-style diatribe that, by this point, has lost much of its ability to either inspire or horrify, depending on your personal politics.
However, cautious listeners in the audience might have been heartened to hear a slight change in rhetoric on NAFTA, the trilateral trade treaty that's key to much of our nation's agricultural business.
Gone were the usual nonspecific demands for vague changes or threats to unilaterally disband the treaty. Instead Trump merely focused on promises of a "better deal." Members of Congress viewed that shift as a sign that Trump may be accepting the reality of NAFTA's benefits.
RELATED: While North America updates our trade deal, the U.S. loses to overseas competition
"There are some signs that the president's rhetoric on NAFTA is softening in the face of leadership from [Senate Agriculture Chairman] Pat Roberts and the ag community. Today could have been a chance to take withdrawal off the table once and for all," former U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, who co-chairs the advocacy group Farmers for Free Trade, said in a statement to Politico. "The continuing specter of withdrawal is not an effective negotiating technique, particularly because right now it's harming American farmers whose livelihoods depend on certainty."
It's not a bad idea to modernize the 24-year-old accord with Canada and Mexico. A better deal is possible. But Congress cannot let this become another Trump trade debacle like his decision three days after taking office to withdraw the U.S. willy-nilly from the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Not surprisingly due to our location, Texas and Houston have been big NAFTA beneficiaries. As a state, we generate an estimated $178 billion in trade annually with Mexico, which has been Port Houston's top trading partner most of the past decade.
RELATED: Trump's retreat crafts a global order without the U.S. at a familiar spot — the center
Trump is trying to bolster U.S. manufacturing by amending the pact to increase U.S. content in cars made of parts from all three countries, now common practice by the auto companies, and he wants NAFTA to expire automatically every five years unless it is renegotiated.
Neither idea has been warmly embraced by Canada or Mexico, which has slowed negotiations to a snail's pace. Only two of 22 chapters have been resolved as they head into their next round of talks Jan. 23 in Montreal.
We have no problem with Trump seeking changes in the agreement, that's part of the process. But we would urge him to drop any thought of withdrawing from NAFTA because despite what he says the pact has been good for all three countries and has become a bedrock of their joint economy.
RELATED: President Trump's bluster threatens Texas-based exports to global markets
He has already done damage to our global stature by pulling the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was a shock to a world that looks to us for leadership and Pacific allies hoping for a stronger U.S. economic presence to help balance a growing China. Leaving NAFTA would only bring that policy of retreat and economic isolation to our own shores.

Is increasing your water intake on your list of New Year's resolutions? If it is, you're not alone. Many of us aren't hitting our daily hydration goals, but it's not for lack of trying. Getting a new habit to stick can be difficult, even a habit as simple as regular hydration.
If you find yourself needing a shot of motivation, look no further. Below are 4 motivating reasons to increase your water intake for 2018.
1. Energy
Even mild dehydration can put a damper on your energy levels, mood, and overall performance. In fact, fatigue is one of the very first signs of dehydration. Upping your water intake can help increase energy, clarity, and a mood boost.
Try it: For an extra refreshing treat, try adding a sprig mint or fruit to your water. Not only will the flavor add some fun and variety to your water, it can also entice you to keep drinking your water. Customize your water flavors based on your mood or seasonal access to fruit or other ingredients. Have fun with it!
2. Skin
Increasing your water intake can help balance your skin. Good hydration supports soft and supple skin, especially during the winter season when cold, dry air saps the moisture from seemingly everything it touches. Battling acne? Good news– water helps to flush out toxins in the body, some of which are the culprits behind those dreaded spots that appear on your face.
3. Digestion
Drinking enough water can help with constipation plus help your kidneys and liver flush waste. Proper hydration helps the waste removal process move along smoothly and more frequently. If your bowel movements are challenging, there may be good chance you're not taking in enough water.
4. Weight
To be clear, drinking more water will not cause you to lose weight; however, many people report losing weight as a result of increasing their water intake. There are a few reasons for this. First, water has no calories. When we replace our sugary drinks with water, we're essentially cutting out calories in a relatively painless way. Water also helps us feel more full and satiated — sometimes those hunger signals we think we're picking up are actually thirst signals. The more water we drink, the fuller we feel, resulting in less snacking. Keep that in mind the next time you find yourself reaching for your mid-afternoon, salty snack.
You don't have to dig too deep to find a myriad of health benefits that go along with ample hydration. As with everything, individual results will vary based on your current lifestyle and health status, but, hopefully, these four reasons are enough to motivate you to commit seriously to your hydration goals this year.

The first of many festivals that we intend learning about this year was celebrated with our pupils this half term!
The first of many festivals that we intend learning about this year was celebrated with our pupils this half term! Both Upper and Lower School learnt about the Hindu Festival Navratri! It takes place in the Autumn around September or October each year.
Our pupils came to school wearing colourful clothing! Navratri is a nine-day festival and each day is celebrated by Hindus in a different colour! Our pupils had a sensory filled day of learning about this festival through the concept of 'good and evil'.
They learnt that Navratri celebrates how the goddess Durga overcomes evil and defeats the demon king. The battle lasts for nine days! The Dandiya Sticks that they decorated were representative of the swords that the goddess used. Our pupils tried hard to learn the Dandiya Raas dance - they danced this dance with their colourfully decorated Dandiya sticks.
They also decorated Rangoli patterns in a variety of ways … foam, glitter, dried foods (lentils, chickpeas, flour, curry power, noodles) and paint were all used to make beautiful patterns!
Our pupils, some for the first time, tasted foods associated with Navratri. They also ate onion bhajis, poppadoms, naan bread, curried sauce and rice. During the day Hindus fast and eat only fruit, yoghurt and drink milk. At snack time delicious yoghurt with honey and fruit was eaten.
Lots of dressing up in brightly coloured Hindu costumes was the highlight for many of our pupils and making colourful jewellery using painted noodles. They also made salt dough lamps and used tea-light candles to represent the oil lamp that burns for the duration of this nine-day festival.
Just before home time the whole school came together to show what they had made and learnt about during the day. Pupils listened to music played during the Navratri Festival and many of them tried to dance the Dandiya Raas with all their friends! It was a very busy day with lots of exciting and fun activities!

Family of Late Teenager Donates Funds, Equipment to Improve Cancer Patients' Lives
Meghan Redenbach lost battle with rare form of cancer in December 2010
The family of Meghan Redenbach, the Gasport teenager whose battle with a rare form of ovarian cancer rallied the support of the community, today visited Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center to donate brand-new mini refrigerators for inpatient rooms in the Pediatric Center.
This gift provides an extra level of comfort for families facing a hospital stay. A pediatric patient and their family accepted the gift on the Pediatric Center's behalf. The Redenbach family will also present a donation of $1,000 each to Carly's Club and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western New York.
The Redenbach family raised the funds for this gift at the first annual "Man Up" Car Show on July 23, an East Amherst event established in Meghan's memory. Meghan died on December 24, 2010, after a battle with ovarian fibrosarcoma. During her treatment, she became an advocate for pediatric cancer research at Roswell Park, sharing her story through the New Era New Hope fundraising campaign.
The mission of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is to understand, prevent and cure cancer. Roswell Park, founded in 1898, was one of the first cancer centers in the country to be named a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and remains the only facility with this designation in Upstate New York. The Institute is a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the nation's leading cancer centers; maintains affiliate sites; and is a partner in national and international collaborative programs. For more information, visit Roswell Park's website at http://www.roswellpark.org, call 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355) or email email@example.com.

'No, Take Jeb Instead,' Screams George W. Bush While Shoving Brother Into Father's Grave
COLLEGE STATION, TX—Having evidently entered the "bargaining" phase of grief in the wake of George H.W. Bush's death, witnesses confirmed Thursday that George W. Bush shoved his younger brother into their father's open grave while screaming "No, take Jeb instead!" "Please! Please! Oh, God, please don't take my father away from me—take Jeb!" cried the former president and son of the deceased, wailing and thrashing as he fought his way past the several mourners and secret service agents in his way before using all his strength to push his brother toward the prepared burial site. "Please, God, it's not fair...

The Government's Sector Deal 2 was launched this week and contains very welcome investment in the UK economy from a number of our member companies, including more than £1billion from UCB.
It also includes many exciting developments in research – which we continue to champion at ABPI.
One element of the Deal is the establishment of 5 purpose-built centres dedicated to late-phase commercial research in 2019 to 2020. They will offer rapid set-up of late-phase commercial research, standardised contracting and delivery approaches where appropriate, and dedicated facilities and staff.
Linked to these, the NIHR will also improve research set-up timelines and ensure we have the workforce to deliver research by addressing the challenges in NHS workforce resourcing.
Crucially, it will also 'explore mechanisms to ensure patients are offered the opportunity to participate in research of relevance to them…'
This for me was the best news in the Sector Deal. Increasing opportunities for patients to engage in research is essential if we are to achieve the best outcomes.
So how can we make sure we encourage more people into research?
We know people are willing to be involved. In a YouGov poll of 3,265 people that we commissioned earlier this year on attitudes to science and healthcare:
We're seeing some great increases in the numbers actually participating in research – with more than 700,000 people being involved last year in both commercial and non-commercial research – the most since records began. Here's how we can push that figure up even higher.
First, we need to make sure we continue to attract the highest quality research to the UK in the first place. The Sector Deal will help us do this – particularly with investment announcements from Celgene, NIHR, IQVIA, Genomics England and the Brain Tumour Charity.
Second, we need to make sure we have the infrastructure to get people involved – and with its announcement of the new centres, the Sector Deal is a huge step forward here.
We need to make sure we are conducting the most innovative clinical trials so patients time and effort is most efficiently used. We've been working with the Government on this and the work that we have done together with government is reflected in this deal.
We also need to incentivise Trusts to offer people opportunities to take part in research – and thankfully the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is helping. As the independent regulator of health and social care in England, the CQC now assesses how well an NHS trust incorporates research into its strategy and how well research opportunities are communicated to patients. Whilst this is only a small part of their inspections, it is really positive to see that the importance of research to patient outcomes is being recognised.
We also need to offer patients the chance to get involved with the design of research, not just be passive participants. There are increasing opportunities available to do this, such as through the NIHR's People in Research website.
Last, but by no means least, we need to make sure we secure public trust in data sharing. We know that sharing healthcare data is a key part of medical research and has the potential to save lives, as this video from Understanding Patient Data explains.
Unsurprisingly, a recent survey showed that attitudes to sharing data depend on who it's shared with. Although most are happy to share their data with the NHS, two thirds of people in a Healthwatch survey thought they may later regret their data being shared with NHS partners, such as technology companies and universities.
Absolute transparency is key here, and we will continue the drive for the highest standards of security and transparency in data sharing, both in the UK and at international level.
The Sector Deal 2 shows a welcome commitment to clinical research in the UK.
By getting more people involved in that research, we can help make sure that it produces the best outcomes possible, which is a win for patients, the NHS and industry alike.

3/292 King St, Newtown NSW 2042
Small batch coffee roasters
This tiny espresso shop can easily be overlooked when driving past King Street. The coffee and tea menu is more extensive than the limited eats menu of jaffles and croissants. Barista was friendly and serendipitously running into specialist coffee hunter James Fridley of @bitterbliss was an educational delight. My Cappuccino ($3.50) using Graceland blend was very nice and loved the coffee art too. Complimentary SodaStream sparkling water is available when sitting in at one of the 5 stools available. It's great to finally discover this place exists for a coffee fix.
