We have been educated in a 1.0 education model, we are teaching in a 2.0 model but our students are living in a 3.0 model. These three models chronicle the major paradigmatic shifts that education has witnessed over the last century. They also represent, in an ironical way, the huge abyss between the actual needs of our students and what is actually being delivered to them in schools. Below is a very interesting chart created by Dr John Moravec in which he compares between the three models we mentioned above.

Tom Hiddleston on War Horse, His Devoted Fan Base, and Steven Spielberg's 'Hiddleboner'
"He had a Hiddleboner and we started working together."
Tom Hiddleston puts the "war" in War Horse. His character, Captain Nicholls, inducts the hero of the story — the horse Joey — into the British cavalry during World War I, just before a disastrous battle, with Allied soldiers on horseback charging with swords against German soldiers armed with machine guns. As it turns out, actor Hiddleston has his own army, an avid fan base devoted to his work playing such characters as F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris and Loki in Thor (and soon, The Avengers). Vulture chatted with the rising star about that devoted following, his possible need for some basketball cheerleaders, and bonding with director Steven Spielberg.
How did you prepare for this role?
I filled myself up on horse films. I watched Seabiscuit, The Horse Whisperer, Charge of the Light Brigade, Waterloo ...
You forgot one very important horse story.
[Laughs.] Which one?
After all this time you've spent with Joss Whedon on The Avengers, what about Bad Horse, from Dr. Horrible?
Oh, yes! [Laughs.] I'm so sorry! It's so funny. I completely missed that at first. Now that you've said it, yes. I've been so completely in my War Horse gear that I forgot about all the evil ones. And what about the eight-legged ones, like Sleipnir from Thor? There's a whole bunch of different horses in my life. [Laughs.] He's a genius, though. Let it be known on public record that Joss Whedon is a genius. Firefly is incredible.
Firefly has the Browncoats. You have the Hiddlestoners.
I'm so ashamed! [Laughs.] No, I'm flattered. They're amazing. The Hiddlestoners are an extraordinary group of people.
Apparently if they're really excited about something, they have "Hiddleboners."
[Laughs.] A Hiddleboner is something that happens to you if you're a Hiddlestoner. That's kind of amazing, isn't it? They're very articulate, very creative. Listen, I get letters from some of the Hiddlestoners, and it's some of the most articulate, eloquent writing I've ever read. I should be so lucky that I have an army of followers. My goodness.
If only you had a use for them. Maybe Loki can borrow them, since he's going to need some help in The Avengers.
He does, yeah. He needs to take over the world.
Who's going to be in Loki's army?
It's a whole bunch of Storm Troopers. [Grins.] Otherwise, why are they at Comic-Con? Honestly, why? I don't know. Who else could Loki's army consist of? Wouldn't it be fun if they were basketball cheerleaders? I think that would be awesome. I think that's really kind of Loki's speed.
So what's the connection between Thor and War Horse? You had someone in common with Steven Spielberg, which helped him cast you.
Vic Armstrong is one of the greatest trainers in the business. He was Christopher Reeve's stuntman in Superman, he was Harrison Ford's stuntman in Indiana Jones, and he choreographed many of the greatest stunts in the James Bond films. He's now a second-unit director in his own right. He's also a prodigiously talented, gifted horseman, who taught Kenneth Branagh how to ride for Henry V. And so Ken employed Vic as a second-unit director on Thor, and Vic's family, the Armstrongs, were all employed for stunt work. Vic's daughter Georgie is now a stuntwoman and a horse master on films. She's the horse go-to girl. And she taught me how to ride on Thor — remember the riding across the rainbow bridge right at the beginning? We shot that at the end on a beach in Southern California, and they sort of projected the depths of the Nine Realms and the beautiful vistas of space and the cosmos behind us, using CGI. So I learned to ride with Georgie up and down dry riverbeds in Simi Valley.
So when I met Steven for this film, he asked me, "Do you ride?" And I said, "I've been riding a lot, actually, because I'm doing some riding on Thor. Georgie Armstrong's teaching me." He got all excited: "Georgie Armstrong?! What? She's in Empire of the Sun!" I was like, "Yeah, Vic's daughter. He's second-unit director on Thor." And he goes, "Vic was Harrison's stunt double!" So we were off to the races — he had a Hiddleboner and we started working together. [Laughs.]
You had a code name for The Avengers while it was in production: Group Hug. Any code name for War Horse?
It was called Dartmoor, which is just really simple, because a lot of it was shot there. Not quite the same as Group Hug, is it? [Grins.] Group Hug is all Joss. That's his sense of humor, that The Avengers film is one conflicted group hug. But that's what this one was called: Dartmoor. It's really beautiful, one of those areas of the world that has astounding natural beauty.
So will you be shooting either A Winter's Tale or the Jim Jarmusch vampire movie next?
Both are like spinning plates — there's nothing solid on either. But I'm crossing my fingers that they happen. I'd love to be a vampire. It'd be lovely to be a vampire, wouldn't it? You'd get to be ancient and eternal, a creature of the night. And vampires get away with murder, quite literally.
With War Horse and Midnight in Paris, you're bound to be getting some Oscar love.
Midnight in Paris is just such a lovely film; it's nice if it gets any attention. Nobody sets out to make a bad film, and the awards are just a lovely way of saying, "We enjoyed that one." If that happens, I welcome it, but I'm not counting my chickens — or my horses.

Chace Crawford Eyeing an Older WomanSteve Marsi at . Comments
Chace Crawford has had the opportunity to kiss three of his female co-stars on Gossip Girl, but the 22-year-old actor has another in mind.
"I'm thinking Lily van der Woodsen," Crawford jokingly said in an interview with Fuse TV, referring to the character played by Kelly Rutherford, the mother of the show's lead female character, Serena.
"I'm eyeballing that. That would be great. The older woman."
For those wondering who exactly Crawford plays in Gossip Girl, the actor appears as Nate Archibald, a teen heartthrob who is involved with Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) in an on-again-off-again relationship.
Nate is secretly smitten with Serena (Blake Lively), however. He has made his fair share of bad decisions, but "has a little bit of moral backbone."
"It's good to play that," Crawford said. "[He is] so conflicted."
Initially, Chace Crawford did not think much of Gossip Girl, admitting that when he first read the script, he thought it was just "typical teen stuff."
"But after it's been going along, there's such a big ensemble cast, and everyone's starting to develop," he said. "More recently, the show's kind of been getting its legs, getting more in-depth and [its] like a family on set, so it's been really great."
While Gossip Girl is Chace Crawford's first TV series, he has appeared in a few film productions, including Loaded and The Covenant.Next year, he will be appearing in an independent horror/thriller flick called She Lived, starring opposite Haley Bennett (Music & Lyrics).
"It was really fun," Crawford said of working in the film. "Haley Bennett plays this sort of psychologically disturbed [character]. She thinks she's thinks she's schizo, but it turns out her parents sold her soul to the devil. It's like a cultish-type thing."
Between working on TV and film, Chace Crawford prefers the latter.
"I haven't done too many of either, but I really do like working on films more," he said. "There's more freedom. Television feels a little bit restrictive, so far as the dialogue, and there's really no improv. The scenes are a little bit shorter... So, films are kind of where my head's at... in the future. I love the show, though, hopefully that lasts."
That said, he is planning to spend the coming year furthering his career. However, there is one thing that he intends to avoid.
"I eat a lot of McDonald's. It's a problem," he said. "Big Mac is my favorite. I try to eat healthy but they get me."

Illinois reaches deal on fracking
Environmentalists and industry agree on draft rules to regulate drilling
CHICAGO — After years of clashing over the drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," the oil industry and environmentalists have achieved something extraordinary in Illinois: They sat down together to draft regulations both sides could live with.
If approved by lawmakers, participants say, the rules would be the nation's strictest. The Illinois model might also offer a template to other states seeking to carve out a middle ground between energy companies that would like free rein and environmental groups that want to ban the practice entirely.
"The fact that Illinois got there," was significant, said Brian Petty, executive vice president of governmental and regulatory affairs at the International Association of Drilling Contractors. "Anytime you can bring the lion and lamb to the table, it's a good thing."
The industry insists fracking is safe and would create thousands of jobs — possibly 40,000 in the poorest area of Illinois, according to one study. Opponents say it causes water and air pollution and permanently depletes freshwater resources.
In New York, where a fracking moratorium is in effect until a health study is completed, one activist said Illinois environmentalists caved in when they should have pushed harder to block fracking.
"I was just appalled at this collaboration ... to create these regulations based on the false premise that fracking is inevitable," said Sandra Steingraber, an Illinois native and founder of New Yorkers Against Fracking.
But Michigan's largest environmental coalition might be willing to take a cue from Illinois if lawmakers decide that fracking should be part of Michigan's energy mix.
"We would love to see that kind of bipartisan cooperation," said Hugh McDiarmid, spokesman for the Michigan Environmental Council. The Illinois bill "has a lot of good ideas and a lot of things ... that mirror what we're trying to achieve in Michigan" because stopping or banning fracking would be unrealistic.
In Illinois, it came down to "do we accept the invitation to go to the table or walk away and allow industry to write the rules?" said Allen Grosboll, co-legislative director at the Chicago-based Environmental Law and Policy Center. "For us to say we were not going to participate and drive the hardest deal we could to protect environment would have been totally irresponsible."

26 die in Mexican gas plant blast, fire (Lead)September 19th, 2012 - 1:42 pm ICT by IANS
Mexico City, Sep 19 (IANS/EFE) Twenty-six workers were killed Tuesday in an explosion and subsequent fire at a gas plant in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, state-owned Petroleos Mexicanos said.
A company spokesperson told EFE that 27 people had been injured in the blast and fire.
The explosion occurred around 10.45 a.m. at the facility near Reynosa, a city just across the border from McAllen, Texas, Pemex said in a statement.
It took nearly two hours to put out the ensuing fire.
"Specialized technicians with Pemex Exploration and Production will proceed to carry out the analysis of the root cause of the accident, as well as the evaluation of the damage caused to the installation," the state oil monopoly said.
Tamaulipas authorities temporarily evacuated residents living within a 5 km radius of the plant, but there were no reports of injuries to anyone outside the Pemex facility.
At least 700 people were working at the time of the blast, a Pemex employee said while being treated by paramedics, who were attending to a dozen people with serious injuries.
Soldiers, firefighters and state workers supported the efforts of Pemex crews to bring the blaze under control.
Tuesday's explosion was Pemex's worst accident since Oct 23, 2007, when 22 workers died on an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

GSA Leading the Charge for Reusing and Recycling Electronics
The General Services Administration ("GSA") is reviewing comments on proposed regulations to reuse and recycle electronics. The proposed regulations identify a variety of methods for disposing of functional and nonfunctional electronics owned by federal agencies. Besides the obvious options of reusing them within the agency, transferring them to other agencies, or recycling them with certified recyclers, another option, which GSA has already begun using, is manufacturer take-back programs. The manufacturer take-back programs allow federal agencies to return used electronics to the original seller. In April 2014, Kevin Kampschroer, Deputy Senior Sustainability Official for GSA, reported to a Congressional committee on. Read More.

Being Vegan Benefits More than Just Your Health
If you are living the vegan life or considering it, chances are the question you get asked the most after "What's the difference between being a vegan and being a vegetarian?" is mostly likely "Why would you do this?" The simple truth is that the benefits of being vegan improve every aspect of your life, from your health to the environmental footprint you leave in this world. Being vegan is not just a diet; it's a lifestyle choice, and one that you will not regret.
A vegan diet consists of consuming plant-based foods, including fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes, nuts, and seeds. The health benefits from eating this way abound and include reducing the risk of:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Ischemic heart disease
- Hypertension
- Stroke
- Obesity
- Some cancers, including prostate, colon, and breast cancer
Plant-based diets are often higher in vitamins, minerals, folic acid, magnesium, and iron, all while being lower in cholesterol and saturated fats. In addition, studies show that a diet without meat can lower your body mass index and keep your weight in check, and many vegans report that they see a great improvement in the look of their skin, hair, and nails!
The philosophy behind being vegan is that not only is it better for your health, it's better for the environment. Vegans subscribe to a policy of not only not eating meat; they will not consume or use anything derived from an animal: this includes eggs, wool, honey, leather, fur, and dairy products.
For many, this policy stems from a concern for the animals and the manner in which they are bred, reared, and fed, as well as the impact these practices have on the environment. A plant-based diet requires only a third of the land needed, compared to the amount of land needed to support a meat- and dairy-based diet, which makes for a more sustainable way of living, according to The Vegan Society.
This therapeutic manual massage mat is made from totally green, eco-safe materials, and it offers a holistic approach to helping you recharge and revitalize yourself while you work, read, or do yoga. When vegans spend their money, it is it for purchases that they know can help them live with the values they support.
Being vegan is not just a trendy diet; it is a way of life that allows you to affect positive change with every meal you consume and every purchase you make. It can open up a new style of living that is filled with purpose, which benefits your health, that is kind to animals and the environment, and which is just plain fun.
There aren't many things in this world that can accomplish all that in one package, so take pride in being vegan, or in making steps in that direction, such as dropping animal products you don't like that much, or trying Meatless Mondays.
The next time someone asks the difference between being vegan and being vegetarian, you have the perfect answer: one's a way of life, and one's a diet choice, but every step away from animal agriculture is a positive step.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
10/19/2010 - Build Created.
My idea of how Lux is supposed to be played
I see Lux as almost a pure support with the ability to hit hard when needed. Lux should never be focusing on one single champion in a Team Fight. Lux's double snare and AoE root/bomb make her a dominate team fight controller. I like to call Lux a Control rather than a support.
How to play Control Lux
In early game it is all about how your enemies and your teammate in your lane. There are three ways to play a lane. Defensive(Tower hugging), Neutral(Bush Camping), Aggressive(Enemy Turret).
If Lux is paired with another strong ranged class such as Swain, they can play very aggressively while dropping to neutral for mana. (I highly suggest one of you get a Chalice EARLY probably Swain because of his passive). If lux is paired with say a melee it depends on their capabilities of pushing.
In the long run it is all about the current situation at hand. Just always remember you are a support with great harassing capabilities. Don't be afraid to use a little mana.
Near mid game you should start seeing groups of 3-5 players roaming now. You need to stick with as many teammates as possible. The more the merrier. That is because of your Prismatic Barrier. The more teammates you can hit with that life saving boomerang in a team fight, the better.
Nothing from mid to late game really changes besides you being a bit more sturdy of a Control. You should be keeping blue buff on as much as possible to reduce your Ultimate cool-down to nearly nothing. That being said use your Ultimate as much as possible. It has a very low cool-down and a very low cost. Now the team fights should be 4-5 always. You should be focusing on snaring the carries more than anything else but anything that isn't ranged is a worthy snare. Don't forget that your Lucent Singularity may be a bomb you really need the slow more sometimes. Do not get an itchy trigger finger and blow it, literally.
Doran's Ring(Mana Potion) - Survivability, MP/5
Merc Treads - Survivability (Sorc boots optional less survivability).
Catalyst - Leveling restores HP/MP
RoA - Survivability without losing damage.
Void Staff - Magic Pen.
Haunted Guise - Survivability and Magic Pen.
Guardians Angel - Active in team fights longer.
Summoner Spells
Clairvoyance - Line up ultimate, scouting (Bushes, jungle, Baron, dragon).
Ghost - Escape and engage quickly
Keep binding at level one until the end because we don't need it for damage and the duration doesn't increase.
Use bomb to farm creep and try to hit champions with as well.
Boomerang is saved for an oh shxx button try to hit as many people. If you are running away throw it in the direction you are running for a faster shield. (Shield initiates on throw AND catch for Lux).

Ten Second Review
Nissan are promising that in NP300 model form, the Navara pick-up will offer significantly improved refinement and performance whilst remaining a dependable workhorse. More efficient engines, suppler suspension and a greater sense of style promise to appeal to commercial and private buyers alike. Add in reduced emissions and it seems Nissan are in with a shout of class leadership.
Nissan have been proudly promoting their pick-up heritage during the release of this much improved Navara model. That's no surprise considering the Japanese brand first produced such a vehicle over eighty years ago. The Navara nameplate isn't quite so old, dating back to the year 1997 and marking the first modern Nissan pick-up that didn't just appeal to those after a working vehicle. Indeed, with pick-ups popular as alternatives to SUVs, refinement is more important than ever. With that in mind, Nissan have been hard at work developing a new 2.3-litre turbodiesel engine that is smoother, quieter and cleaner than the old 2.5-litre unit. It also manages to be more powerful, yet more efficient too. There's also a totally redesigned rear suspension set-up for the family-friendly Double Cab model that promises improved handling and a more comfortable ride without sacrificing its off road or load carrying ability.
Driving Experience
The Navara's 2.3-litre dCi turbodiesel is available in two different power outputs; 160PS or 190PS. The lower powered of the two is standard equipment on Double Cab models and the only option on everything else. The 190PS version is reserved for the Double Cab only and makes its extra power through a second turbocharger that can provide additional boost to the engine. Two wheel drive is an option for King Cab (two seat) models, while 4WD is standard on all other variants. The standard gearbox is a six-speed manual item, while a seven-speed automatic is an option but again, this is reserved for the Double Cab model only. One of the big problems with using a pick-up as an everyday vehicle is comfort. As vehicles of this kind are primarily designed to carry up to a tonne of weight in the bed, rear springs must be pretty industrial. The issue is that when unladen, things can get pretty bouncy. Due to this, the Double Cab Navara ditches old fashioned leaf springs for the back axle. Instead, there's a five-link rear suspension setup with coil springs to give a much plusher ride without sacrificing load capacity.
Design and Build
There was a time where pick-ups were square-edged things that you could never call stylish. Mitsubishi's L200 bucked the trend with its curves proving a hit with buyers. With this in mind, Nissan has been more daring with this improved Navara while incorporating its latest 'V-motion' grille and boomerang shaped daylight running lights. Whether you choose this vehicle in double cab or king cab guise, gone are the sharp creases and flat panels of the previous model, having been replaced by curves and contours. From the confident nose rearwards, it looks much more modern while retaining a tough edge. The basic chassis of the Navara may be that of the old model - Nissan themselves describe it as 'a fully updated version of the previous generation' - but don't let that put you off. The Japanese brand really has gone over the whole vehicle with a fine tooth comb and improved it in every appreciable area. This includes a completely re-designed dashboard to lift interior quality and NASA-inspired seats (yes, really) to make for an even more car-like experience. Those that plan on making the Navara work for a living will be more interested in the range's ability to tow 3,500kg and the Double Cab's 67mm increase in bed length.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £18,500 ex VAT and there are five trim levels available for the NP300 Navara; entry level 'Visia', 'Acenta', 'Accenta+', 'N-Connecta' and 'Tekna' at the top of the range. 'Visia' is the only option on the Chassis Cab and 2WD King Cab while 'Tekna' is only for Double Cab models. 'Visia' is very much a working man's trim level with steel wheels, black bumpers and mirrors along with no air-con. You do get a Bluetooth stereo with USB and aux in, electric windows and cruise control though. 'Acenta' includes manual air-con, alloys, chrome mirrors and grille along with a sunglasses holder. 'N-Connecta' (likely to be a popular choice) adds dual zone climate control, heated door mirrors, bigger alloys, fog lamps, rear view camera and leather for the wheel, handbrake and gearknob. 'Tekna' is where a lot of the clever stuff comes in such as Nissan's handy 'Around View Monitor' that gives a virtual bird's eye view of the truck, rear parking sensors, LED headlights with daytime running lights, 7" touchscreen with sat-nav and Bluetooth audio streaming and roof rails. Optional extras include a rear diff lock for serious off-roading, a towing kit and heated leather seats. All models get seven airbags, ABS, hill decent control, traction control and even autonomous emergency braking on the Double Cab.
Cost of Ownership
As to be expected in this day and age, downsizing and weight loss has been key to improving the Navara's running costs. Thanks in part to being 200cc smaller than the old model's engine, emissions have taken a tumble, while fuel economy is better than ever. While a 2WD King Cab produces the best figures - 44.9mpg on the combined cycle and 167g/km of CO2 - it's the 4WD Double Cab that will be the volume seller we suspect. Opt for one of those and you'll see a slight increase in emissions to 169g/km while economy falls to 44.1mpg on the combined cycle. Interestingly, this combined figure is the same regardless of power output. In this instance, the addition of the seven speed automatic gearbox does nothing to improve the figures as we've come to expect with so many new cars. The self-shifter is good for 40.3mpg with emissions of 183g/km. Those hoping for better should bear in mind that without a driver and in fairly lowly spec, the Navara weighs about 1,950kg. The warranty is definitely worth a mention, five years or 100,000 miles is much better than the average.

Cash Price
The Cash Price is the �On the road price� that the Dealership offers the vehicle at the point of sale. This is derived from any Manufacturer or Dealer savings from the Recommended Retail Price listed by the Manufacturer.
With thousands of models available we can offer you a competitive cash price quotation against any of our vehicles.
Our deals and offers change on a daily basis so please contact us for most up to date cash price.
PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new car.
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

One of the things I will NOT be retiring from on December 31, 2012, is mentoring. In fact, I will be even more available for mentoring. Beginning January 9, I will be at the Hifi Coop in Ward Warehouse every Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. and I will be available to anyone who would like to come by and chat, vent , ask questions or simply cry on my shoulder. I promise a willing heart and ears. If you would like to secure a time, please call me on my mobile at (808) 391-3978. But it's also okay to just drop in. I will be there with my laptop (writing away) or my sketchbook (dreaming away) or my crossword puzzles (playing away). I will be delighted to see you and help in any way I can.
Mentoring is one of my missions in life. I am proud of so many I have mentored. My mentoring began in earnest with the Fashion Forum, which began in the late '90s and went on for more than a dozen years. Among those I mentored through the Fashion Forum and beyond are Willow Chang, Sherry Shaoling, Summer Holcomb, Megan Anderson, Melissa White, Toby Portner, Amanda Stevens and so many more. Believe me, I have learned as much – or more – from them as they have learned from me.
Last week I had the delightful experience of meeting an outstanding former Punahou student who is now studying at Cornell in New York, Megan Rodrigues. Megan is now on my list of "Ones to Watch." I am so impressed with her. She knows exactly what she wants and she is going after it with energy and intelligence.
Megan began fashion sketching as a little gilr. She learned to sew when in elementary school and often spent her summers in sewing classes. Her parents always encouraged her in fashion and they have been supportive all along. However, once she got to high school she realized she had a natural aptitude – and passion – for math. Fashion and math are an unusual set of strengths and she realized this right away. Seeking to combine her talents, Megan chose Cornell, where their textile and fashion track has three areas of emphasis from which to choose:
- Apparel Design
- Fashion Management, which requires a lot of business and math
- Fiber Science, which requires a lot of chemistry

Starving to death on NHS wards?
The Sun newspaper on Monday carries the headline "Kill by mouth: Two die in NHS each day of thirst or starvation".
A shocking claim, based on figures from the Office of National Statistics.
The data for England and Wales shows that in 2015, hunger and/or dehydration were a factor in 828 patient deaths in hospitals and care homes.
But that doesn't mean all of these patients starved to death or died of thirst, experts at the ONS were quick to point out when I spoke with them about it.
Malnutrition may be recorded on the death certificate as a factor contributing directly to a death when it was a complication of a different underlying cause, such as cancer of the stomach, for example.
If you are very sick, it might not be feasible or desirable to eat and drink. Having a disease such as advanced cancer can cause malnutrition.
That's not to say that patients who are terminally ill should have fluid and nutrients withheld. On the contrary, guidelines make it clear that even if a patient can't eat or drink they should still be provided for.
They were drawn up after reports revealed some patients at the end of life were being denied this basic right when they were put on a care protocol called the Liverpool Care Pathway.
The LCP was scrapped in 2015 after relatives complained that their loved ones had been put on it without their knowledge and denied fluids, which hastened their deaths.
Another dark period in history for the NHS was the Stafford Hospital Scandal, where hundreds of patients died amid appalling levels of care between 2005 and 2009.
An inquiry identified terrible and unnecessary suffering, including examples where patients had been provided with food and drink, but it had been left out of their reach.
Joan Morris, 83, was admitted to Stafford Hospital in December 2006 with a chest infection.
Her family said that food and water had been left on a table instead of being given to her.
Another patient, Tom Wilhelms, resorted to drinking from a vase.
In response to the Francis Inquiry into the failings at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the government published new hospital standards including around nutritional and hydration care.
And it asked the Care Quality Commission to make sure that the hospitals and care homes it inspected were following these standards.
The CQC's first dedicated review was in 2012.
It inspected 500 care homes and 50 hospitals in England and found 83% of care homes and 88% of hospitals it inspected met people's nutritional needs, which means patients were provided a suitable choice of food and drink and given help to eat and drink when they needed it.
It says this shows things have improved.
Prof Sir Mike Richards, CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said: "We expect the food provided to be nutritious, to meet people's dietary requirements, and for this to be included as part of patients care planning while in hospital, and we look closely at this on our inspections. Where we find this is not happening or identify concerns that people's nutritional needs are not being met we take action and have a range of enforcement powers at our disposal where required."
Age UK agrees that there's been progress, but says malnutrition in the NHS is still a big issue.
Lesley Carter, who works of the charity and is programme manager of the Malnutrition Task Force, says a third of people going into hospitals and care homes are already malnourished or at risk of malnutrition when they are admitted.
"That means they are already vulnerable to start with."
She said that on busy wards, mealtimes might get rushed or overlooked without the right staffing.
"Older people in particular might need help to eat and drink, and they aren't always getting this. Food can still be left out of reach.
"Some hospitals have employed nutrition nurses to spot those patients that need help, and nutrition assistants to help with the feeding, which is good.
"But it is time consuming to feed someone properly."
She says friends and families have a responsibility to keep a check on elderly loved ones too.
"We all need to realise that it's not natural to lose weight as we age."
Although elderly people should be encouraged to eat a healthy diet, she says this can backfire.
A salad might be worse than cake in terms of nutrition for someone who is old and frail and has a poor appetite, for example.
"Some residents in care homes are being given low fat yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk when instead they should get full fat milk."
Food for thought.

Americans wondering whether salty foods really are bad for them haven't gotten much clear-cut advice from the world's premier researchers.
That is not because researchers haven't been busy. In May, a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded that the current restrictions on salt intake are unwarranted.

Gauteng DestinationsMonumentpark, Pretoria
Immediate neighbour to the Pretoria-east suburbs of Waterkloof Ridge, Kloofzicht and Erasmusrand, Monumentpark is one of the more sought-after, upmarket suburbs in the leafy eastern parts of the second-largest city in Gauteng.
It is also one of the older suburbs, meaning that the properties are large, the area tree-filled and the streets wide. Monumentpark lies just south of the Groenkloof Nature Reserve and Waterkloof Golf Course, whilst a little further across the N14 is the Voortrekker Monument Nature Reserve. Staying here allows you to visit many of the top tourist destinations of the city with little trouble, particularly as the centre of the city is only minutes away. Another bonus of staying in Monumentpark is the accessibility to two major highways - the N1 and N14.
Groenkloof Nature Reserve, just 5 kilometres outside the city centre, is a great escape and steeped in history, if you think that it was also the first game sanctuary on the African continent back in the days of Paul Kruger. Over weekends it teems, and you have to pay an entrance fee, but you will definitely get to see duiker, blue wildebeest and the odd zebra, even if it is against the backdrop of the Unisa buildings. The Fountains Valley resort, within the reserve, provides picnic spots, some of which are hidden away and provide you with the space you need, whilst there are also walks and mountain bike trails.
If you haven't visited Pretoria before, make sure you take in the Voortrekker Monument. Despite its association with the days of apartheid, the Cenotaph, the central focus of the monument, is well worth seeing. Once a year the sun shines through an opening in the dome of the roof right into its centre.

She presented the importance of Diversity & Inclusion for Schneider Electric and the current activities in Germany for Diversity & Inclusion including partnerships "GO MINT", "Charta der Vielfalt" as well as the participation at "women & work".
December 3rd was the International Disability Day (United Nations)! At South America We promote a culture of respect, learning and motivation for all employees and society! We had the chance to run a "Get on My chair" (analogy from get on my shoes) so employees could understand the daily difficulties and how strong minded are our disable employees! Lots of learning, inspiration and motivation to never give up!
Ainoa Irurre, our VPHR Director for the Iberian Zone has been awarded, in December 2015 in Barcelona, with the AQ Awards for "Best HR Director". This is a great recognition for a great year and professional career in Schneider Electric. Ainoa is one of the main promotor in Spain for the Diversity culture.
Each year since 2009, the economic newspaper "La Tribune" recognises talented women in different areas: research, business, digitisation, start up... In December, Christel Heydemann, Senior VP for Global Alliances at Schneider Electric, received the award for "Smart city". Congratulations!
This award recognises a woman who has a remarkable vision for cities of the future.
On September 16th, a Japanese delegation from Ministry of Social Affairs learnt how France manages professional development for women, life balance, wages equity and recruitment. They met 3 of the Technical Jobs Ambassadresses who explained their technical and management career including a rich family life. A visit to a brand new nursery for employees showed them how the company cares of parenthood.
At Schneider Electric in Belgium, we are convinced for several years already that diversity is a necessity and a competitive advantage .
For the second time consecutively, a diversity plan was presented to the administration of the Brussels Region and has been accepted and validated.
Only 21 companies in the Brussels Region obtained a diversity label officially recognizing the commitment made by them in this regard.
Within the Belgian entity, diversity affects important axes such as gender balance, origins and age and that through the diversification of the recruitment channels, equal opportunities within the company, during recruitment and On boarding but also and especially through the involvement of our employees
Half-day Gender Workshops for Leaders at the management committee level were launched by the Schneider Electric CEO Jean-Pascal Tricoire.
The workshops act as a business case for change and include the assessment of current state of gender balance in our company, analysis of gender balance blocking factors and solid
commitment to a concrete action plan.
Over the last two years, these workshops have been cascaded through the Country and Business Board committees across the globe – almost 20 leadership teams with 300 leaders have attended these workshops. The cascading approach is still ongoing at mid-management level.
Over the past 3 months, workshops have taken place in Netherlands, Denmark, Poland and Brazil

Yoon Si Yoon's funny cameo in Ms. Temper foretells the fantasy world of Mirror of the Witch
In case you missed it, Yoon Si Yoon made a cute appearance as a new employee at the company in Ms. Temper & Nam Jung Gi, the fun drama about a hot-tempered lady boss. What's also hilarious is how the cameo made a reference to Yoon Si Yoon's new drama, Mirror of the Witch. Take a look.
After being introduced as the new rookie, Yoon Si Yoon was grilled by existing employees with questions such as:
But no hard question is as scary as the warning from Nam Jung Gi, played by Yoon Sang Hyun (Oscar in Secret Garden):
Sure enough, Ms. Temper, played by Lee Yo Won (49 Days), turned around and gave him a look that really scared him.
This cameo appearance is a really cute introduction to the fantasy world of Mirror of the Witch, where a royal princess was abandoned at birth in the forest because she was a twin to her brother, the future crown prince.
It is really interesting to see how the funny Ms. Temper & Nam Jung Gi and the dark Mirror of the Witch are linked by Yoon Si Yoon's cameo.
What do you think about the cameo? Doesn't it make you feel interested to find out more about Mirror of the Witch?

commercial blog service
"A blog connects you with the people who matter
Blog to find a new job or to write about the one you have. Blog to broadcast news to the world or to share your individual passion. Use a blog to engage with your customers or to find new ones.
It's easy to start and maintain
You don't need an IT staff or a degree in computer science to start a TypePad blog. Designing your blog is point-and-click, and updating your blog is simpler than sending an email. You can be up and running in minutes. We take care of the hard stuff, so you can focus on your message.
TypePad is a great value
A blog is a powerful, cost-effective alternative to a website or email newsletter. Why spend thousands of dollars on design and hosting, only to have the site go stale? A TypePad blog is an easy way to have a great-looking, up-to-date, search-engine friendly presence on the web."

Accessing Blogger in Beta
How do I switch to Blogger in beta?
Thanks for your interest in all the new features we've got coming up! The Blogger in beta program is going to start out small, so only a low percentage of people who log in to Blogger will see the option to switch over. If you're one of them, you'll see a blue box in the sidebar of your dashboard highlighting the new Blogger in beta. Click the "learn more" link there and we'll walk you through the process of switching your account.
Part of this change involves converting your Blogger account into a Google Account (learn more about Google Accounts). If you already have a Google Account, log in with your Google Account email address and password when prompted. A confirmation message will appear to indicate success.

Google Blogger Beta
Google Blogger Beta which was launched 14 August 2006 Blogger Buzz: Blogger in beta
or are we expected to comment on the Testing Blogger Beta beta blog?
blogger beta - Google Search
another point of entry blogger beta - Google Image Search
via blogger beta - Google Video search
en pasant Banjo's World: Vlog No. 001 - Google Video WOW!!! that is astonishing
and back to blogger beta - Google Groups suggests the discussion is on the general blogger groups Google Groups: Blogger Help Group
I posted the following comment which awaits moderation:-
my blogger classic predates my google mail so it is tied to an aol.com email address and log on
http://www.blogger.com/my old profile/
I was invited to gmail as an existing blogger account ( I came in via the google tool bar BLOG THIS button after the beta google.com days when I switched from altavista searching http://www.altavista.com/
BTW I am not the professor Hugh Watkins, MD, PhD, Dept of Cardiovascular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK OX28AF. E-mail hugh.watkins{at}cardiov.ox.ac.uk)
and my own adsense account uses another aol.com email for both classic and beta
I use my gmail acccount for blogger beta
In Firefox on the Mac the Blog This button links to my classic account even though I am blogging in blogger beta as well
using an Intel mac I have Parallels and so have classic blogger open in MS IE on Win XP
and the beta on Firefox on Mac OS 10.4.8
When I have populated the beta blogs a little more
I will update the side bars on all my blogs to completely cross links blogs and sites
so aa in any beta best to use a seperate account for testing
Experience gmailers will know how to open a second account anyway by invitiation to themselves at a fourth unconnected email address readable by POP mail (alongside imap at aol for example)

About Me
angry and frustrated in Copenhagen or Birmingham
and so that was a storm in a teacup all about registration of MAC numbers on the Brumleby WAN ethernet system
once it was working it was brilliant 10mb /10 mb
What started off in USA is now world wide - a freudian typo just made me say world wild. This time I am going to work autobiographically. In 2004 it was Viking Novel
see:- Iron Way - which turned into such a good idea that I froze it and and put off writing until I got more research done.
I started with google when it was a beta search engine, and began blogging before the advent of gmail AKA google mail, because the orange blog this button turned up on the google tool bar.
my first archive
look at my old profile to get the list of all my old blogs in the order in which I created them, top down with the oldest first.
I think I will be maintaining three main blogs - this one as a daily diary and GENEALOGE for my family history and genealogy and I will reduce my three photo blogs of snap shots
This years draft "novel" will get posted on My Memories thirty days in Novemeber - will that be 30 chapters?
I self censor all my blogs because I like to be available widely, and some words that I would use in street speech, trigger automatic cenmsorship.
A Solihull library computer even refused to let me read an email because it was written in Danish.

Court reserves order in Pandhers bail plea
Special CBI judge Shyam Lal, after conclusion of arguments from both sides for Pandher`s bail plea in the murder cases of 21-year-old Payal and Pinki Sarkar, reserved the order till tomorrow.
Pandher`s lawyer Dev Raj Singh pressed for bail on the ground that his client was not named accused in any case by the CBI and that his health was sensitive.
On the other hand, CBI advocate J P Sharma argued before the court that though Pandher was earlier given clean chit by investigators, the CBI judge had made him an accused on the basis of statements of the victims` family members.
Pandher`s bail was rejected by the same judge two days ago in the murder cases of Madhu, Jyoti and Anjali.
The CBI today produced two witnesses — Sehensar Pal and Amit Kumar of Uttar Pradesh Police — who had collected the bones and chopped organs of children from Pandher`s house in Nithari in 2006 when the case came to light.
Amit Kumar told the court that he had recovered a chopped hand from the house while Pal confirmed that he had collected bones from there.
Proceedings in the murder case of 14-year-old Payal will be carried out tomorrow.

Humanity's Team is an international spiritual movement whose purpose is to communicate and demonstrate the timeless truth that We Are All One, with God and life – caring for each other and the world we share – so that people's actions reflect this profound understanding within a generation. We believe that living this truth is essential to solving the most chronic and acute world problems and vital to creating a sustainable world of peace, harmony and happiness.
Dubbed "a civil rights movement for the soul," the movement has over 100,000 adherents from more than 150 countries on six continents.
Humanity's Team was created by the spiritual author Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series of books, in 2003 in response to the inspiration he received in the producing of those books regarding the crisis that the human race was facing following the events of September 11th, 2001.
Humanity's Team proposes a New Spirituality that enlarges and enhances humanity's current beliefs about God and about life in ways that could change how we live with each other, bringing peace and harmony to our planet at last.
The New Spirituality is not a new religion. Rather, it is an expansion of all our present theologies; an updating of them; a refreshing of them, rendering all of our current sacred teachings even more relevant to our present day and time.
Key to the New Spirituality is a belief that God is not separate from anyone or anything — and neither are we.
You'll also receive a free subscription to Humanity's Team Daily Email Inspirations, plus bonus gifts from some of our speakers and sponsors.
If you yearn for a world that is functional and whole, that you would want for yourself and for future generations to live in, then please – join us!

I recently listened to a podcast all about break-ups and it took me back to those bad high school and even college break-ups. I was always the cliche of a girl after a break-up. My hair in a messy bun, wearing sloppy sweats, no make-up, tear stained face carrying around either a tub of ice cream or tube of cookie dough, moping around listening to the ultimate break-up mix. These songs helped to re-live the awful break-ups moments over and over again. Letting me dwell in the hurt feelings until I was ready to move on from sad love songs to more happy tunes.
So what are some of the ultimate break-up jams??? I asked my Facebook friends for some suggestions and it seemed like everyone had at least one. Here are a few they suggested......
Sukiyaki by A Taste of Honey: The opening line alone tells you that this is going to be a very sad song, "It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue". This song can perfectly describe how a break up feels in the peak of the hurt.
Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars- This title sounds like it might be a break up jam that could make you feel a little better! A very Morrissey-esque and The Postal Service vibe. This starts with that awkward run in with the ex. The soft horns and piano make this song perfect to listen to while sitting in a dark room while it pours rain outside.
Best Thing I Never Had- Beyonce: This is the song that you sing at the top of your lungs after the crying has stopped and the anger has set it. "Sucks to be you right now!... I am the one that got away.... Honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had".
Without You the Mariah Carey Version: this break up song is so awesome that it had been remade over and over again. So you initiated the break up and now you are totally regretting it. This is the jam you sing in the shower so the water can hide your tears. And also because you sound just like Mariah in the bathroom because the acoustics are so good.
Someone Like You by Adele: This whole album by Adele was said to have been written by the singer after a horrid break up. So when this song came out it become a break up anthem. This song goes beyond the break up and your ex's wedding day. Ugh we have all been there.
Mandy by Barry Manilow: Now this song has had to have been in a movie playing during a sad break up scene. Seriously listen to this song and you picture a sad man behind the wheel of a car in the rain (there is always rain) listening to this and crying.
You Outta Know by Alanis Morrissette: The entire Jagged Little Pill album is pretty much the ultimate angry break up album. Alanis really captured the emotions that you go through during a break up. Uncle Joey from Full House really did a number on her! I can remember when my BFF went through a bad bad break up in high school. This entire album was on repeat 24/7.
Everything I Own by Bread: An old song but new to me and oh man is it a perfect sad break up song. A total 70's vibe. This was your parents teenage years break up song. The perfect song to play over and over again while trying to figure out the best way to get your ex back. The song may be old school but the message and the feelings still ring so true today.
My personal list includes....
The 1st Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crow
It's Been Awhile by Staind
Don't Speak by No Doubt
Somebody I Use to Know by Gotye
Picture of You by The Cure (well almost anything by The Cure really)
Sort Of by Ingrid Michaelson
Konstantine by Something Corporate.
But in my opinion Phil Collins is the king of the break up song.
Show 'em how it's done Phil......
Break ups are hard but I believe that good music can be like therapy.
What songs would you add to this list?

European Parliament adopts REACH - Chemicals Management By The Precautionary Principle
The European REACH program has been accepted by Parliament. Within this decade, pending final action by the EU Commission, all chemicals sold in Europe will have to be registered, and a list of 3,000 particularly hazardous materials must be proven safe by their makers through an "authorization" process. This reverses a 60+ year old world-wide tradition whereby serious adverse chemical risks are proven by governments or in court, post-exposure. Heavens: might this spell the beginning-of-the-end for "Toxic Tort" liability cases? The US Plaintiffs Bar may not be pleased. Officially: - "Parliament adopted the compromise it negotiated with Council on the new regulation for chemicals, REACH, which will oblige producers to register all those chemical substances produced or imported above a total quantity of 1 tonne per year. Registration will affect about 30,000 substances. For more hazardous substances, producers will have to submit a substitution plan to replace them with safer alternatives". Per the Parliamentary report, about 3,000 substances already in commerce will be most significantly scrutinized. As "dossiers" for the 3,000 are perused by designers, retailers, and their customers, however, we expect continued voluntary movement away from use of the "bad boys," starting where cost effective, less hazardous alternatives exist.
The immediate upshot: lots of spinning and scrambling over what's in the REACH "dossier" that characterizes risk and exposure for each material.
Retailers will be calling their suppliers to get early interpretations of how long they have to find alternatives. Stock valuations may be affected for companies that who have concentrated on selling the di-methyl chickenwire variations.
What flies in the EU first, sets a global precendent. As with Climate Change, Island USA does not seem to have fully prevailed through its lobbying. Caveat: it's all just ideas on paper until the Helinski staff is up and running with management systems that are publicly transparent.

London's Barclays Cycle Superhighways, the first two of which are due to open next month, are to be equipped with convex Trixi mirrors that help lorry drivers see cyclists located in their vehicles' mirrors' blind spots at junctions.
The mirrors, were invented by Swiss national Ulrich Willburger, who came up with the name after his daughter Beatrix was seriously injured when she was hit by a cement lorry at the age of 13.
According to the Evening Standard, subject to Department for Transport approval, the mirrors will be trialled for six months at the first two Barclays Cycle Superhighways which run from Barking to Tower Gateway and from Colliers Wood to the City. Both are due to open on July 19th.
Nigel Hardy, Transport for London's Cycle Superhighways Project Director, was quoted in the newspaper as saying: "These provide a much better view around the vehicle for HGV drivers. It's also another form of advertising to the driver to check their mirrors, and to cyclists that they should not be on the left-hand side of vehicles."
Although the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured in London fell last year compared to 2008, and casualty figures have fallen by a quarter since the mid-1990s despite more people turning to two wheels to get around, a disproportionate number of bike riders killed in the city are victims of collisions with lorries.
Referring to the first two of the proposed 12 Barclays Cycle Superhighways to come into operation, Mr Hardy said: "There are around 5,000 people a day using both routes. We would like to increase that by around 20,000 people a day within the next three years."
However, the Cycle Superhighways, which are 1.5 metres wide and painted blue to show the space given to cyclists, are not without their critics.
John Siraut from transport consultancy Colin Buchanan told the Standard that other than the blue paint, there was little to distinguish them from existing cycle lanes.
"Cyclists will veer in and out of the cycle highway as necessary to get around and through traffic," he claimed. "This will annoy car and other vehicle drivers who think the cyclists should stick to their dedicated bit of blue. What is so super about this?"
The newspaper also spoke to Jenny Jones, who represents the Green Party on the London Assembly and is a longstanding advocate of cycling, who said: "I love the idea of the superhighways but they have to be safe and fast or they are worse than useless. They must be more than blue paint and promises."
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.
