There are many ways you can keep warm during Christmas.
Hot cocoa is one way. A fireplace and a nifty blanket is another. Then there is the festive supper, a little eggnog. But if you're a gamer the thing that will probably be keeping you warm and cosy is your gaming machine. There is good chance your thoughts will be going to this mix of a room heater and an interactive entertainment centre. And with good reason.
2016 was a great year for gaming (if nothing else) and there are games coming in 2017 that will put to shame this year's releases. Let's take a look at some of the most interesting titles. For fairness' sake we arranged the games alphabetically.
Agents of Mayhem
Saint Row IV ended on a cliffhanger of sorts. The follow-up, Gat out of Hell did some things about it, and now thanks to that we can get Agents of Mayhem.
Agents of Mayhem will be like a Saints Row version of G.I. Joe. One "good" organisation (MAYHEM*, with a familiar fleur-de-lis purple logo), one "evil" organisation (LEGION**, presumably they are many), and not a lick of sense to mess with the unrestricted fun we came to expect from Volition.
AoM will be a TPP action-adventure game, with the player controlling a team of three agents picked from up to twelve total operatives. Expect creative characters, outrageous shenanigans, and unapologetic destruction.
Release date: 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
*Multinational Agency for Hunting Evil Masterminds
**League of Evil Gentlemen Intent on Obliterating Nations
Dawn of War III
Blood Ravens have no luck. Changes in the line of command, traitors, demons, Tyranids, other Space Marine chapters wanting their relics back…
It seems their bad streak continues in Dawn of War III, because just as the news about a weapon of immense power reach them, the Eldar and the Orks are already well on their way.
In DoW3 the game abandons the slightly RPG-ish playstyle of Dawn of War 2 and fully embraces its RTS roots. As for the new additions, heavy walker units finally come to DoW. Or, more specifically, Imperial Knights for the Space Marines, Wraithknights for the Eldar, and Gorkanauts of the Orks.
Dawn of War III is going to be a welcome change from a avalanche of low- and mid-budget WH40k licensed games.
Release date: 2017
Platforms: PC
Divinity: Original Sin 2
After its immediate predecessor became a smash hit of 2014, the sequel was simply a matter of time. A rather short time, too. D:OS2 is fully prepared to repeat the original game's success, with even greater interactivity, more focused narrative and a better implemented co-op now able to host a four-player team.
It's been said that the game's story is going to be more serious than in D:OS, which is a curious change. Larian Studios' games are known for having fun with the genre tropes and not being afraid of doing something because it's simply funny.
One way or another, by the virtues of its predecessor Divinity: Orinal Sin 2 earns its spot on this list.
Release date: 2017 (yes, we know it's currently available in Steam Early Access, but it is in no way a full game yet)
Platforms: PC
For Honor
Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight: a samurai, a knight, or a Viking? For Honor will not give you answers to this question, because balance is important, but it will let you figure out which one is your true calling.
Ubisoft's For Honor has a very simple core gameplay mechanic: the position (one of three) of your gamepad stick defines your guard form and attack direction. If the enemy strikes from the same side, you block, if he doesn't, you get hit. Simple. Now add special maneuvers, special abilities and you get an interesting and original hack'n'slash game.
For Honor is going to have extensive character customisation, with more options unlocked as you level up, several small-scale multiplayer modes and a full-blown singleplayer campaign.
Release date: 14 February 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series
Marvel is on the counter-offensive when it comes to video games. For a long time DC dominated with its Batman Arkham series (despite some hiccups along the way). Now Marvel is in line for three high-profile games.
In addition to Capcom's Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, and Insomniac's Spider-Man, Telltale Games is developing a game based on James Gunn's box office hit Guardians of the Galaxy movie (the teaser trailer makes it clear, that the game will have more ties to the movies than the comic book).
As usual for Telltale, the game will be divided into five episodes, and it's reasonable to expect little action, a lot of story, and a side serving of Quick Time Events.
The game is set for a 2017 release, probably to use (or boost) the hype for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 movie premiering the same year.
Release date: 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, others probable.
Horizon Zero Dawn
If you ever wondered what Far Cry: Primal would be like if it was set on a post-apocalyptic Earth full of diverse robotic fauna, you have some very specific imagination. Thankfully Guerilla Games has your back with their new game Horizon Zero Dawn.
HZD's protagonist is Aloy, an outcast from her own tribe, and a capable hunter, too, able to take down even some of the largest Machines – bestial robots of unknown origin. The game is going to have an open-world structure, varied gameplay (melee, ranged and stealth are all viable approaches) and a gripping story about the civilization that came before the tribal remnants of humanity that Aloy hails from.
Release date: 28 February 2017
Platforms: PlayStation 4
Mass Effect: Andromeda
The fans of BioWare's Mass Effect series have been waiting for quite some time for a new entry. Mass Effect 3 launched in March 2012, ME3 with a less tacked-on ending three months later. Five years between entries is a lot of time in video game time. But it seems BioWare didn't waste all this time, because Andromeda looks like a step forward.
In addition to a reportedly open-world structure (where, probably, jump-packs replaced jumping with your own legs) character progression is said to depart from class-based system of the original trilogy, and allow for easy respec.
The game will tell the story of Sara and Scott Ryder (of which one will be controlled by the player). They went on a scouting expedition to the Andromeda galaxy in search of new planets for humanity to inhabit. They left Earth between the events of Mass Effect 2 and 3, but the events of Andromeda take place 600 years after the Reaper invasion. Travelling to other galaxies takes a lot of time, who knew.
Release date: Spring/Autumn 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
A game with a bit weird title, and even weirder premise.
In Nioh you get to play as a historical figure from the 17th century, William Adams, who travelled to Japan and became the first Westerner to become a samurai. Famous novel and miniseries titled Shogun were based on his story.
Of course, the game is heavily fictionalised into becoming a dark fantasy setting, with demons and other monsters roaming the Sengoku-era Japan. The player will make an impact on the conflict of daimyos and the resurgence of demonic yokai.
In terms of gameplay, Nioh draws strong inspirations from the Soulsborne games, but replaces open world with discrete missions. William will also have three stances (high, medium, and low) changing the speed and strength of his attacks. It will probably be an important mechanic for fighting certain enemies.
Nioh may be a very interesting game, with a creatively warped historical setting, interesting gameplay, and engaging storyline.
Release date: 7 February 2017
Platforms: PlayStation 4
Arkane Studios waste no time, it seems. Soon after the release the warmly welcomed Dishonored 2, another game comes hot on its heels.
Prey is not a sequel to the first-person shooter from 2006, but a revival and reimagining of the franchise. Set on a massive space station full of hostile vaguely amorphous aliens, it puts the player in the shoes of doctor Morgan Yu (customisable to a certain degree) trying to survive in this environment. The developers claim it's going to have a psychological bent, rather than a horror atmosphere.
In addition to weapons doctor Yu will be able to acquire some abilities of alien origin, like a mimic ability featured in some trailers, allowing Yu to take the form of an inanimate object.
Release date: Q1/Q2 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Red Dead Redemption 2
A long-awaited new entry to the Red Dead series (Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption). Not much is known about it, but judging by the teaser trailer, it will show us the time when John Marston was still running with the gang he was blackmailed into hunting down in RDR.
Does having several prominent characters mean a mechanic similar to the one in GTA V? Will we get a glimpse at the growing affection between John and his future wife Abigail? Will we see them running from the gang?
There are many questions and Rockstar wisely refuses to answer them just yet. But one things is sure: if the game will be as good as its predecessor every other game of 2017 is going to have a hard time beating it to the Game of the Year title.
Release date: Q3/Q4 2017
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox
Resident Evil VII Biohazard
RE7 fought against Outlast to be the horror title highlight on this list, and won by doing something no other core Resident Evil did before. Going full first-person perspective.
That's right. RE7 apparently took the hint from other modern survival horror games like the aforementioned Outlast, or even Alien: Isolation. Instead of a shooter-horror, the game will focus on the feeling of being hunted by some not-quite-human enemies, as well as some not-at-all-human ones. The immersion is hardly ever as strong as in a first-person perspective. Add to it full VR support and you have a survival-horror game able to stop hearts.
Release date: 24 January 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Numenera is a role-playing system published by Monte Cook in 2013, set a billion years in the future, when eight great civilizations had come and gone, and the Earth is now called the Ninth World due to this fact. The relics of ancient cultures are like magical artifacts to the current one.
This is the setting of a new oldschool role-playing game from inXile Entertainment.
The creators of The Bard's Tale and Wasteland 2 are the veterans of the genre, headed by Brian Fargo himself. The game is a spiritual successor to a Black Isle game Planescape: Torment, widely accepted as one of the strongest stories in video games.
Torment: Tides of Numenera may be one of the strongest RPGs of 2017 and is worth taking interest in.
Release date: Q1 2017
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.
This concludes the main list, but we have a special present for you. In addition to the games that are pretty much certain to be released this year, we prepared a shortlist of four hot announcements without a strictly defined release time.
Death Stranding
When Hideo Kojima left Konami, it was a big news. But not so big as the general confusion caused by the announcement trailer for Death Stranding, the first game he develops unbound from Konami. A naked Norman Reedus, a disappearing baby, and dead whales had a big part in this.
Later it was revealed that Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro have significant roles in the story (Mikkelsen is, of course, the main antagonist).
The game is going to be quite bizarre, likely in both the story and its mechanics. This is probably what happens when Hideo Kojima gets free reign, which is not a bad thing, by the way. If anything, we are getting something unique and odd. Even the genre is only vaguely going to fall into the "action" category.
Release date: TBA. Possibly before 2019
Platforms: PlayStation 4
God of War
Kratos apparently decided to change something about himself after he murdered his way through the Greek pantheon. He travelled to Scandinavia, grew beard, and got himself a son (and a newly-dead wife, presumably). I guess after you kill everyone back home the least you can do is settle down.
Jokes aside, God of War isn't going to play by the rules. Instead of a distant camera and wild combos we are going to follow Kratos in a third-person perspective and the accordingly adjusted combat system. Kratos' son will have a significant role in both the gameplay (as a capable distraction, for instance) and in story, as Kratos assumes a mentor role and tries to form a connection with him. To support his lumberjack beard, Kratos also has an elementally charged battleaxe. Can we expect Kratos to go against the Norse pantheon? It seems prudent to do so.
Release date: TBA
Platforms: PlayStation 4
Not much is known about this game (although the trailer looks promising), but a new game with Spider-Man is welcome, especially after a batch of largely mediocre games we got.
Insomniac's take on the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is going to give us an open world, appropriate parkour and webslinging, and a more experienced Spidey, as opposed to his typical high-schooler incarnation.
An important thing to consider: the game will not be a comic book or movie tie-in, and will tell its own story instead.
Release date: TBA
Platforms: PlayStation 4
The Last of Us Part II
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, but it turns out nobody expected a sequel to The Last of Us, either. The game was announced this December at the PlayStation Experience event, and we even got a nifty trailer.
The Last of Us Part II is going to be set around five years after the previous game's ending, and will have the player take control of Ellie, for a change.
Release date: TBA
Platforms: PlayStation 4
So there you have it, sixteen upcoming titles that should keep you warm throughout 2017 and beyond. We didn't cover all the upcoming titles, of course, so write us in the comments about the game you are waiting for.
If we managed to interest you in any title, there is a nice Christmas Sale coming, where you can find some of the pre-order versions.

It's safe to say the days when workout wear consisted of cotton t-shirts and shin-length basketball shorts are a thing of the past. The modern on-the-go athlete wants gear that not only performs well in the gym, but makes a seamless (and stylish) transition to the streets—and Manduka has been applying this concept to yoga gear since 1997.
Crafted from durable, high-quality—and often renewable—materials, Manduka's yoga apparel covers all the angles in the studio. Cut in a tailored fit, the gear offers maximal freedom of movement, whether you're making the down-dog to cobra pose transition or mastering that ever-elusive handstand. The Intentional Hoodie is filled with unique detailing like the side zipper and hidden smartphone sleeve and, along with the matching Intentional Shorts, is made from an ultra-soft French terry that you're never going to want to take off. The simple yet perfectly form-fitting Transcend Long Sleeve Shirt is so versatile, you wouldn't be wrong to throw it on with a pair of jeans on the weekend.
But my favorite time to rock Manduka's gear is after Bikram class ends—when I head over to my local coffee shop for a cortado before transitioning back to reality. Sleek, minimal and the definition of comfortable, you'll have a hard time getting me out of this look anytime soon. Shop it below.

2014 Lake Pend Oreille K&K Fishing Derby/
Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho
2014 K&K Fishing Derby, April 26 - May 4
Idaho Fish & Game opened the lake to Kokanee last year, for the first time in many years. The Kokanee run up out of the lake into the creeks, like Trestle, to spawn in the fall. While in the lake, they are forage for the larger Rainbows, Bull Trout and the Lake Trout. The giant Rainbow hybrid and Mackinaw Lake Trout were introduced decades ago and over the years, decimated the previously abundant native Kokanee population.
There has been a long-standing effort to reduce the Lake Trout (Mackinaw) population in Lake Pend Oreille in order to allow the Kokanee population to recover. The Tournaments have been part of that effort. Success is reflected in the opening of the lake again to Kokanee harvest in 2013.
The Kokanee are doing SO well, that they've added the Kokanee Division to the K&K Fishing Derby this year. Just look at all the awards and prizes! Get your tickets now!
Fishing in Lake Pend Oreille is great year-round. Sam Owen Campground is on a peninsula on the north end of the lake near the community of Beyond Hope, Idaho. There is a good mix of first-come-first-served campsites and those that can be reserved ahead of time. Features include: dump station, drinking water, beachfront sites, boat launch, picnic area, day use beach with a dressing room and flush restrooms.
Sam Owen Campground opens May 9, 2014. Come visit Tom and Cindy and the friendly Sam Owen crew!

It seemed impossible to solve and no one else I'd asked was able to understand the problem. I'm so glad I was recommended Andrea. She quickly worked out the issue (that no one else had spotted) but then was met with another wall of un-helpfulness by the large companies that were creating the problem.She was amazing in her persistence and determination to sort it out. She tried many angles and spoke to many people on my behalf! I was so grateful that she's as brilliant at being communicative as she is in her technical understanding (2 things that don't always go hand in hand) and kept me constantly updated as well as answering all my questions extremely quickly.I felt like she went out of her way for me and because of that, solved the seemingly unsolvable issue. I'm so relieved and delighted. It's been a big pleasure to work with Andrea (I'd certainly work with her again) and I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her. — Théa Anderson (TheaAnderson.com) More Reviews RavesAmazing AndreaJanuary 17, 2017 Facebook0 Twitter LinkedIn0 StumbleUpon Reddit Tumblr Pinterest0 0 Likes

It's Saturday 17th February and the Rip Curl Team are stuck in Jonsom. The guides have never seen such bad weather for the season. The heavy snowfall means that the boys are running out of time on their acclimatisation schedule… far too much time! The timing is already running three days late. However, our 4 riders refuse to be beaten. Chris and Per are helping out the army shift the snow off the runway of the small airport. They end up messing around together. As the sun falls, there is still a huge layer of ice on the runway and the doubt sets in – 'will we be able to take off tomorrow morning?' Maybe… whatever happens, happens.
Next morning, Per and Chris head back to base with the army guys, but this time with a lot more army guys than the day before – the level of provisions becomes worryingly low. The work progresses quicker than the day before, and finally it gets a little warmer, and the ice slowly starts to melt. Monday, they can finally get to Pokhara, and as soon as they step foot off the plane, they're on the bus which takes them to the chopper.
A winding road takes them high up the mountain where the riders come across a group of soldiers huddled around the MI 17 helicopter. After the intimidating experience of being surrounded by so many weapons and a few stormy words with the pilot, the team take off for Hunde. The needles on the altimeter go through the roof. After 30 minutes flight time, they land in Hunde, a small gathering of several houses at 3 400m altitude lost in a valley surrounded by Annapurna's giant summits, where they will stay for the next few days.
It's been a few days now that our boys haven't been out riding and Baptiste, Per, Chris and Darius are rearing to go. After a quick breakfast, the first group goes on the lookout for the best spot to build the highest kicker in the world. Once again, the altimeter goes nuts. In a few minutes they reach the height of 5500 metres. The pilot and the co-pilot are wearing masks, making the situation even more extreme! Baptiste quickly notices a few areas that could be potentially suitable for building the jump, just under the 5400m mark. A couple of powder snow avalanches drift down the glaciers, as if the mountain knew they were coming. Yes sir, there's no doubt that the Himalayas are a far cry from the Alps or Alaska. They land and set up camp at an altitude of 4000m from where the chopper will go back and forth up the valley to get the other members of the team. As soon as everyone has arrived, time for freeride! After the first few turns, they realise that the snow has been heavily affected by the wind – it's not sticky enough. So, accompanied by two guides, Jerome Ruby and Stephane Dan, they won't take any risks. Beginning of the afternoon, the wind picks up a fair bit. Baptiste causes quite a big avalanche that misses the camera crew by a whisker! Scary stuff "OK, we came close to having a real problem, but we got great footage!" explains Christophe the cameraman.
After all this excitement, the time comes to head back to camp before the wind gets too strong for the helicopter to take off. The first team takes off with the pilot doubting whether he'll be able to come back and get the others if the wind doesn't die down. At 4000m up, the weather can change quickly and violently. The people left at base camp know that there is a chance that they won't see the chopper for a while. When the first team arrive back at the valley, the pilot and co-pilot turn the motor off. Bad sign. For the pilots, there is no way that they are gonna take off unless the wind calms down a bit. The team pause for a bite to eat, keeping their eyes fixed on the mountain and staying in contact with Stephane and Jerome at the base camp by satellite telephone. One hour later, the wind suddenly dies down, and the helicopter finally takes off. Very soon, the team is reunited, and are very happy that half of them didn't have to spend the night at 3800m in a tent, in wet clothes and freezing wind. During the briefing, the atmosphere is tense. There are only two days left. One to build the kicker 5300m high up and another one to jump off it. Of these two days, it's the construction day which is the most worrying. The acclimatisation period was cut short during the trekking and building a jump several metres high at this altitude is one hell of a challenge!

I'm not surprised about the unburnt powder, it's fairly slow rifle powder, and there's no confinement after the casing, so there'd be no power to it either.
People have been fireforming old .50 BMG brass to make shotgun shells for a while. This fella solders a rim onto the brass and calls it 12GA FH, link related http://www.shooting.com.au/forum/index.php?/topic/10859-12ga10ga8ga4ga-fh-585700he-big-bores/

Holy Shat!
I would love to see a bigger version of the miniboy for that cannon! It would probably fly a few miles.
How old are you anyway?
15 soon. I know I know, its a young age and I have many years ahead of me. Still though, at least tell a guy you don't want to date them rather then break their heart.
No such thing as a guy getting their heart broken dude! Be the bigger person

A similar thing happened to me when I was 13 (f*ck, that was 7 years ago!), you'll find that a lot of girls at that age end up dating guys for very short periods before moving on (or dating two guys simultaneously). Then in a year or two they start dating older guys, which is annoying until the girls in the year below are old enough to date
You'll get your pick of the high school girls as you get older (but not too old! ) and then you'll get bored of them and start looking for first year uni girls when you're third or fourth year...
In other words, things will get better as you get older and you wont even notice the girls in your own year unless they're quite fit.
Well, here is something funny I came up with.
I got a dig bick.
You that read wrong.
You read that wrong too.
Is this for you to say to her or...? Just saying, she could refute your claim or just tell everyone you're rubbish in the sack
This follows your trendline pretty well:
Nah, its just for getting top comment on youtube.
Every now and then you find a Mitchell and Webb gem on youtube:
If her feet touch the ground when she sits on the loo, she's old enough
probably blackpowder, guess that is why i posted in this offtopic post (correct me if im wrong)... not sure if its been posted before or not either.... but did not find it when i did a search.

Seven baubles for under $25
I just found out about this fabulous online store of baubles called Juweliq where everything is $25 and under. Gaby from The Vault Files (whom I just met after being virtual friends and who is as every bit as awesome and sweet as I pictured her to be) was the one who told me about it this weekend. Aren't these cute? And the price makes them even cuter I think. This is is the perfect website as a go-to for friends' birthday presents or for a little pick-me-up treat for yourself. These that I rounded up for you above are my favorites.
So, if you have been lusting over the Cartier nail bracelet here is a look alike for $20. And my all-time favorite is the minty necklace (number one). It just feels like Spring.
And Sam from the Peak of Tres Chic is hosting a Mimosa Lane Pillow Giveaway!! Enter here.

Described by Historic England as the 'most important site for the history of explosives in Europe' the remarkable and beautiful landscape chronicles the development of explosives, propellants and finally rocket motors and fuels from the Civil War to the Cold War, including rare surviving WW1 factory buildings, and intriguing structures and earthworks.
The Royal Gunpowder Mills is a Scheduled Monument with over 20 listed buildings. It is also designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for it wildlife. Its alder woodland is undergoing conservation, and the site features a unique three level industrial canal system (now mostly dry).
Only the southern part of the site is accessible to the general public, where school activities and events take place and there are exhibitions about the history of the site and its manufacture, an armoury, an exhibition of rocketry, and a café. A number of the site's many volunteers are people who worked here during its final incarnation as a top-secret research establishment to 1991. The northern part of the site awaits restoration and can normally only be viewed from a popular landtrain tour.
Tours of the out-of-bounds parts of the site will be led by a knowledgeable guide, entering particular interiors if appropriate. The tour will introduce participants to hidden architectural gems as well as the stories of the site and the purpose for which each structure was designed.

Building a Shark Nose
Vertebrates smell using their olfactory system, a complex organ composed of tissues in both the nose and the brain. In mammals where the sense of smell has been well studied, the front line of the olfactory system is a tissue called the olfactory epithelium, the layer of cells lining the interior portion of the nose. These cells are neurons, nerve cells, and they connect to the long olfactory nerve running to the brain, specifically to a portion of the brain called the olfactory lobe, where "smelling" really happens. The cells of the olfactory epithelium contain olfactory "receptors", proteins that recognize specific odor molecules, and amazingly these receptors are so varied that each recognizes only a few of the millions of possible odors. Researchers Linda Buck and Richard Axel won the Nobel Prize in 2004 for determining how this system functions to allow us to smell so many different things.
Early during embryonic development a gene called Pax6 is expressed in the portion of the embryo that will develop into the olfactory epithelium and other parts of the olfactory system. This gene is essential for olfactory system development, as mice carrying a Pax6 mutation do not form most parts of the system. Many aspects of embryonic development are highly conserved across vertebrate species, and studying developmental processes in basal (i.e. evolutionarily "earlier") vertebrates can often tell us how these systems first came to be.
Sharks are famous for having a highly developed sense of smell, and are known to have large olfactory bulbs, but how their olfactory system develops has not been well-studied. Identification of the shark Pax6 protein showed that it is an astounding 95% similar to that of the mouse, which suggests that Pax6 function is likely to be well conserved between these two very different species.
In a recent paper, Ferreiro-Galve et al studied the expression of Pax6 in a favorite shark model for embryonic development, the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula. (Interestingly, the genus Scyliorhinus comes from the Greek, meaning – for reasons that are unclear to me – 'shark nose'.) Colorimetric stains specific for Pax6 showed that the gene is active in the developing olfactory epithelium, olfactory nerve, and the olfactory bulb of the brain. See the figure, where the purple color indicates Pax6 gene expression in the highly folded olfactory epithelium of the dogfish. (From Ferreiro-Galve et al.)
This pattern is remarkably similar to that seen in mice, suggesting that Pax6 already played a role in building the olfactory system in the common ancestor of sharks and mammals, more than 450 million years ago. Sometimes the outward differences between species can detract from underlying similarities conserved across eons – when something works well evolution tends not to mess with it.
That paper is Ferreiro-Galve, S, Candal, E, and Rodríguez-Moldes, I. 2011. Dynamic expression of Pax6 in the shark olfactory system: evidence for the presence of Pax6 cells along the olfactory nerve pathway. Journal of Experimental Zoology, 314B. It is available here (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jez.b.21448/abstract), but unfortunately is not open access.

text: One of the most powerful things this practice has taught me is that being for yourself is not the same as being selfish. I used to think that in order to help others I must put all of myself out there and give and give, what I got was frustration and exhaustion and often when I thought I was being generous I was in fact giving begrudgingly. Now I know that in order to truly be for others, I must be for myself. I must get honest around my choices in life and whether or not they are serving me, only then can I be my best self and give to others selflessly. I practice daily for myself so that I can teach daily for others. I meditate and choose to schedule "me time" so that when I give time to others they have my full attention. I speak my truth without apology so that I can support others when they speak theirs. I create what serves me so that I can share it and serve others. How you treat yourself often shows up in how you treat others! Are you being generous to yourself? Are you doing what serves you? Are you being for YOU?

Alpine Canada is hosting a safety summit this week to try and reduce the rising number of injuries in the sport - which left most of Canada's senior athletes sidelined this past season.
The sport of alpine skiing has always been dangerous given the high speeds involved and changing conditions, but the level of risk seems to have hit a new level recently.
The Canadian Alpine Ski Team has been hit particularly hard in recent years, both in the run-up to the Olympics and over the past season. The injury list includes top skiers John Kucera (left leg), Manuel Osborne-Paradis (left leg and knee), Robbie Dixon (concussion), Kelly VanderBeek (left knee), Jean-Philippe Roy (right knee), Francois Bourque (left knee), Kelly McBroom (left leg), Larissa Yurkiw (left knee) and Louis-Pierre Helie (concussion). Jan Hudec and Erik Guay both missed races this year with minor injuries. Genevieve Simard and Allison Forsyth have also retired in recent years as a result of injuries.
Other teams have also been impacted by injuries this season. Most notably, Austria lost Mario Scheiber and Georg Streitberger, while Hans Gregger was saved through emergency brain surgery.
The International Skiing Federation (FIS) started an investigation into the rash of injuries in December of 2009 after noting a spike in the number of injuries through the FIS Injury Surveillance System.
While that investigation is continuing - and FIS tested some new equipment and safety systems this year - Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA) announced plans in February to host a Ski Racing Safety Summit. The summit will take place at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary this week.
While the world was invited to take part, the ACA wanted a national forum to address the issue in a way that touches all levels of ski racing.
"We want to significantly reduce the amount of serious injuries in our sport. We want to keep it exciting, but at the same time make it as safe as possible," said Max Gartner, ACA president.
Virtually everything will be on the table, including ski, boot and binding technology, course preparation, inspections and training runs and safety systems.
"Our goal is to develop domestic recommendations we can implement immediately (without waiting for FIS)," said Gartner. "We will also develop a strategy for working with FIS to reduce injuries at the World Cup level."
Whistler's Manuel Osborne-Paradis, who suffered a broken leg and torn ligaments in a downhill race in January, was to be the guest speaker.
The two-day summit was to place on Tuesday and Wednesday, after which recommendations would be considered. Any changes could come as early as next year.
Meanwhile, FIS gave an update on its activities in January.
FIS has been conducting research since last December with the University of Salzburg and a panel of 63 experts, in response to a rash of injuries in the lead-up to the Olympic Winter Games. The panel identified five predominant injury risk factors and is in the process of addressing them all.
Some of their ongoing work includes outfitting forerunners with sensors to study speed, energy and other forces, and measuring snow conditions and what impact different conditions have on racers - whether those conditions are natural, or enhanced by course workers using fertilizers or water injection. As well, there is work being done to develop new skis for downhill and giant slalom that are better adapted to the speeds and forces generated by the athletes. Former World Cup racers forerunning World Cup races are testing those prototype skis.
"The goal of producing these prototypes was, first of all, to gain more safety," said Dr. Michael Schineis, chair of the Ski Racing Suppliers' Association, back in January. "The ski industry is ready to invest in the safety of the athletes. A key problem seems to be the combination of aggressive snow and aggressive skiing. To make the skis less aggressive, the new prototypes are experimental in terms of radius, length, standing height and ski plates.
"This is a very interesting project. Due to the geometrical changes, these prototype skis were clearly different to ski on and require changes to the ski technique. But they are definitely skiable."
FIS said that the sport, which is based on speed and risk-taking, would always have dangers, but they are working hard to address things like equipment and course conditions that add to the overall risk equation.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (CNS) — A husband and wife each active in their own Christian community can be models of an important step in the movement toward Christian unity: not just recognizing their diversity, but loving it despite the pain it sometimes can bring, said couples at a conference on ecumenism.
"The churches need to work at their unity the way married couples have to work at theirs," said Ray Temmerman, an active and involved Canadian Catholic married to an active and involved Anglican, Fenella.
"It is important that our churches begin to recognize that it is not only what they have to offer each other that is important; their capacity to receive and love the other … will also be the key element in calling both churches to become what God calls them to become," Temmerman told the International Receptive Ecumenism conference June 10 at Fairfield University.
"None of us set out to do this: We fell in love," and had to figure out how each could be true to who they were while loving and respecting the other, he said at the conference, which was exploring how the process of promoting Christian unity could gain momentum if churches and Christian communities recognize that they need to learn from each other.
In many, probably most cases, when a man and a woman from different churches marry, they end up choosing to belong to and raise their children in only one of the churches, or in no church at all, said conference participants. The Temmermans and other members of the Association of Interchurch Families remain active in their own communities, attend the services of their spouses and try to raise their children with openness to both.
"If our churches are really to be motivated to move to the next stage, they need not only to remove obstacles" to unity, "but to see that the other church may have preserved some Christian gifts and values better than ours has or that they have new gifts that they would like to share," Temmerman said.
"This is, after all, what we experience in a good marriage: husband and wife remain individuals with their own individual identity," he said, "but they gradually establish a common, shared family identity."
Joyce Kazuri-Makumi, a Pentecostal married to a Catholic in Nairobi, Kenya, said members of her extended family — mainly on her husband's side — "think I don't love him" because after 12 years of marriage, "I still haven't followed him" into the Catholic Church. Their wedding was a Catholic ceremony without a Mass, and she and her husband go to both services together each Sunday.
"People who don't know us wonder about us," she said. "We go into the church together, but at Communion, David goes up and I remain sitting."
Jeff Wild, an Australian Catholic married for 30 years to the Rev. Margie Dahl, a minister in the Uniting Church, said his approach is: "Because I love you and respect you, I love and respect the church that made you who you are."
The choice to encourage the other to continue his or her denominational affiliation is not always easy, especially when in many cases it means not being able to receive the sacraments with one's Catholic or Orthodox husband or wife. Dahl said, "It seems strange that a couple united in baptism and marriage should be separated at Communion."
The presenters encouraged bishops, priests and other ministers to be welcoming of such couples and to encourage their faith commitments — even of the spouse that belongs to a different church. The presenters also said every minister needs to know that, when approached to celebrate a wedding, if the potential bride or groom is a Catholic, they must be informed of the permissions needed for the recognition of a marriage performed outside the Catholic Church.

Teeth whitening has been on the market now for some time now and are becoming more effective and less abrasive, as breakthrough technology assists in achieving whiter teeth with minimal side effects.
My partner and I been using teeth whitening toothpaste for several years and I'm always scouring the dental hygiene section in supermarkets for the latest products to try. Hubby is a heavy smoker and coffee drinker and moi coffee and tea drinker, so it is extremely important to me and my family that our teeth are healthy, clean and white.
Below are my thoughts on the two products I road tested - the Diamond Series Advanced Teeth Whitening System and the Bright Nights.
Below are my thoughts on the two products I road tested - the Diamond Series Advanced Teeth Whitening System and the Bright Nights.
Diamond Series Advanced Teeth Whitening System
White Glo have recently released the Diamond Series Advanced Teeth Whitening System. The pack contains an Advanced Whitening Gel, Mouth Tray and Professional Choice Toothpaste.
White Glo guarantees that your teeth will be whiter in just 7 days your teeth or they will refund your money. These are huge claims to make so if it's effective as it claims everyone is a winner.
To achieve whiter teeth is simple. There isn't much preparation or work involved. The program requires daily treatment for the first week. Each treatment time is between 5-15 minutes depending on the condition of your teeth. If further improvements are desired continue for a further week. If you want to continue with the whitening system, White Glo recommends that you rest for a week and then continue there after.
How it Works
The surface of our teeth are porous. Stains are caused by coloured food and drinks lodging in these pores, causing tooth enamel to darken and stain over time. The active ingredient in the whitening system enters the pores and whilst it sits there oxidises and breaks down the stain. This process gives off the bleaching effect onto your enamel and is what whitens the colour of your teeth. The specially designed mouth tray allows the gel to keep in contact with the surface of your teeth over this time-frame.
So after a week of using White Glo, I have seen a dramatic result as you can see in the before and after pics especially between the teeth.
|Before using White Glo
|After using White Glo
White Glo Bright Nights
Bright Nights are dissolving strips that contain teeth whitening ingredients and work by being absorbed by your teeth enamel, to turn yellowing and discolouration into oxygen particles. This procedure has been proven to be very safe and will reveal an instantly whiter teeth.
They have been exclusively designed and formulated to be used when you need a whitening boost such as prior to arriving at a party, work function or social event. No mess or fuss, just peel, apply and let the strips do it's work.
After finishing my week of trialing the teeth whitening program. I gave myself a week break before I tried the strips.
The strips are really simple to use. You rip the foil packaging and remove the transparent strip and apply to the teeth. The flavour is really pleasant and fresh.
The inside of your lips do stick to your teeth at the beginning so if you are wearing lipstick, I suggest to apply it when the strips have dissolved.
The White Glo range is available at all supermarkets and pharmacies and on their website. For stockists visit www.whiteglo.com.
White Glo Range
White Glo Diamond Series Advanced Teeth Whitening System - $19.99
White Glo Bright Nights - $8.99
White Glo Diamond White Toothpaste - $7.99
The White Glo Power Brush Toothpaste - $6.99
White Glo Whitening Pen - $19.99
These products were send for consideration, but my opinions remain my own

This is the eighth instalment of 'Ursula', a comic by Michael Hawkins we're currently serialising. Catch up on chapters one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.
So it goes without saying I blackout that night. I wake up with this dark, thick goo on my face. Maybe my body is producing ectoplasm now, sure, why not?
Bruce is asleep, faraway, unwakeable. I have a shower in his bathroom, slathering my sore body in all kinds of crazy, exotic gels and washes.
I try to make coffee on his stove-top press but I forget to put part of the filter in and coffee explodes all over his kitchen. This is so fucked.
As I leave his apartment, I get this awful feeling I've left something on or left something behind or something really bad is gonna happen because I can't do anything right.
Soon I'm on the tram going home. My stop approaches but it feels too soon… I can't move. It passes.
Soon we're moving through a part of the city I've never been to. The tram moves onto a light rail system and eventually stops at this random station in the middle of nowhere.
There is this tiny, moribund house near the platform. It looks totally crusty yet twee and cottagey.
There's something about it so hilarious and terrifying… Of course I ended up here. I'm a magnet for stuff like this.
Maybe one day I'll live here.
Michael Hawkins is a Melbourne-dwelling comic book and visual artist of Tasmanian and U.S. derivation. He believes in mystery.
Keep an eye out for more instalments from 'Ursula', and for Michael Hawkins' cover art for The Lifted Brow #28, which we launch in Melbourne on 27 November.

Attorney General Steadroy "Cutie" Benjamin is said to be doing much better following a freak accident at his home Tuesday night which resulted in him in spending a very short time at the Mount St. John's Medical Centre (MSJMC).
Benjamin told OBSERVER media yesterday that apart from a few cuts and bruises, he was not seriously hurt.
As it relates to the accident, he explained that "I parked my vehicle in my garage, forgot that it was not in park so I tried to stop the car from going back and was caught between the door."
He said he was dragged for a few yards and received a few cuts and bruises.
Benjamin said he was taken to the hospital and was subsequently discharged after a medical examination was conducted.
The AG thanked everyone who expressed concern about his health and well-being.

Google is said to launch an iOS app for Google Play Music All Access at some time later in this month. Few bugs are needed to be fixed before final release.
Google has launched its subscription based music service for its Android devices called Google Play Music All Access back in May. At the time of its launch, Google's Android head Sundar Pichai announced that the Google Music iOS app will be launched in June. But that was not happened yet.
But now, Engadget reports that Google is planning to launch its native Google Music iOS app later in October. Google is testing the app internally as some of its "employees have been invited to test the app." Tech giant still encounters some bugs in the app that needs to be fixed before launch. And the Google's streaming music iOS app also said to have same custom radio and smart recommendation features as present in its current Android music app.
Why Google delayed its Play Music All Access iOS app. It is said that Google is facing some DRM issues in its streaming music iPhone and iPad app. Engadget reports, "Flash was needed to enforce DRM restrictions set by music labels." But good news is that Google has resolved these issues and almost ready to launch its iOS app sometimes later in this month.

Owing to the tight control of methamphetamine, it is presumed that phentermine, an amphetamine-type anorectic, has recently been considered a supplement for methamphetamine abusers in Korea. In addition, the abuse of other anorectics obtained by inappropriate means has become a social issue. Hair is a useful specimen to prove chronic drug use. Therefore, an analytical method for the simultaneous detection of phentermine, phendimetrazine, amfepramone, fenfluramine, mazindol, methamphetamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), as well as their metabolites, which covers the major amphetamines and anorectic agents in Korea, in hair was established and validated using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The drugs and their metabolites in hair were extracted using 1 % HCl in methanol and then filtered and analyzed by LC-MS/MS with electrospray ionization in positive mode. The validation results for selectivity, linearity, matrix effect, recovery, process efficiency, intra- and interassay precision and accuracy, and processed sample stability were satisfactory. The limits of detection ranged from 0.025 to 1 ng/10 mg hair and the limits of quantification were 0.25 ng/10 mg hair for every analyte except mazindol and phentermine, for which they were 10 ng/10 mg hair. The method was successfully applied for the segmental determination of selected anorectics, methamphetamine, MDMA, and their metabolites in hair from 39 drug suspects. Among the anorectics, phentermine and/or phendimetrazine were identified with or without methamphetamine in the hair samples. Closer supervision of the inappropriate use of anorectics is necessary. Also, hair analysis is useful for monitoring the abuse potential of unnoticed drugs.

The lack of a universal method to extract RNA from soil hinders the progress of studies related to nitrification in soil, which is an important step in the nitrogen cycle. It is particularly difficult to extract RNA from certain types of soils such as Andosols (volcanic ash soils), which is the dominant agricultural soil in Japan, because of RNA adsorption by soil. To obtain RNA from these challenging soils to study the bacteria involved in nitrification, we developed a soil RNA extraction method for gene expression analysis. Autoclaved casein was added to an RNA extraction buffer to recover RNA from soil, and high-quality RNA was successfully extracted from eight types of agricultural soils that were significantly different in their physicochemical characteristics. To detect bacterial ammonia monooxygenase subunit A gene (amoA) transcripts, bacterial genomic DNA and messenger RNA were co-extracted from two different types of Andosols during incubation with ammonium sulfate. Polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analyses of amoA in soil microcosms revealed that only few amoA, which had the highest similarities to those in Nitrosospira multiformis, were expressed in these soils after treatment with ammonium sulfate, although multiple amoA genes were present in the soil microcosms examined.

In this article negative values of the activation volume in retro-Diels–Alder reactions are interpreted in terms of the different possibilities of penetration of the solvent molecules into the sterically branched structures of the adduct and activated complex. Empty spaces, inaccessible to penetration of solvent molecules, lead to increases of the molar volume of the screened adducts in solution and, consequently, to a less negative value of the Diels–Alder reaction volume. The values of partial molar volumes of anthracene, maleic anhydride and the adducts cyclopentadiene–maleic anhydride, anthracene–maleic anhydride and anthracene–tetracyanoethylene, in several solvents, were calculated from the solution density data.

A mutant of the lipase from Geobacillus sp. strain T1 with a phenylalanine to leucine substitution at position 16 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21(De3)pLysS. The crude enzyme was purified by two-step affinity chromatography with a final recovery and specific activity of 47.4 and 6,315.8 U/mg, respectively. The molecular weight of the purified F16L lipase was approximately 43 kDa by 12% SDS-PAGE analysis. The F16L lipase was demonstrated to be a thermophilic enzyme due its optimum temperature at 70 °C and showed stability over a temperature range of 40–60 °C. The enzyme exhibited an optimum pH 7 in phosphate buffer and was relatively stable at an alkaline pH 8–9. Metal ions such as Ca2+, Mn2+, Na+, and K+ enhanced the lipase activity, but Mg2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+ inhibited the lipase. All surfactants tested, including Tween 20, 40, 60, 80, Triton X-100, and SDS, significantly inhibited the lipolytic action of the lipase. A high hydrolytic rate was observed on long-chain natural oils and triglycerides, with a notable preference for olive oil (C18:1; natural oil) and triolein (C18:1; triglyceride). The F16L lipase was deduced to be a metalloenzyme because it was strongly inhibited by 5 mM EDTA. Moderate inhibition was observed in the presence of PMSF at a similar concentration, indicating that serine residues are involved in its catalytic action. Further, the activity was not impaired by water-miscible solvents, including methanol, ethanol, and acetone.

Methanol extracts of 4 different colored (red, orange, yellow, and green) bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) were examined to (1) determine the total phenolic content (TPC), (2) compare the antioxidant activities, (3) assess the protective effects of extracts on H2O2-induced and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-induced DNA damage using the Comet assay, and (4) examine the antiproliferative action of their extracts on HT-29 cells. Red and orange bell peppers had significantly higher levels of TPC than yellow or green bell peppers. Orange bell pepper exhibited the highest level of radical scavenging activity and total antioxidant activity, while green bell pepper exhibited the highest superoxide dismutase-like activity. These results suggest that the difference in antioxidant activities may depend on the kinds of antioxidant compounds related to the color of the pepper. It was found a significant negative correlation between TPC and radical scavenging activity inhibiting capacity (IC)50, and a significant positive corretation between TPC and total antioxidant activity. All extracts of bell pepper inhibited H2O2-induced and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-induced DNA damage in human leukocytes and showed potential toxicity on HT-29 cells. These findings suggest that the 4 different colored bell peppers may be useful as antioxidants and cancer prevention in food.

An inexpensive, rapid, safe and green method for pindolol assay in medicines was developed using sequential injection analysis (SIA) technique. The method was based on the oxidation of pindolol by dichromate in sulfuric acid media. A chromogenic form of pindolol was spectrophotometrically detected at 640 nm. The 33 full-factorial design approach was applied to optimize acid concentration, pindolol volume and reaction time. The automation of SIA and the optimization process offered satisfactorily selectivity to the method. The recovery of pindolol in the presence of clopamide as a companion drug, besides excipients usually found in tablet formulation, was in the range of 96.5–98.4%. The automation also provided good repeatability, with a relative standard deviation value of 2.2% for seven replicates. Additionally, the miniaturization of SIA rendered the method reagent-saving (the total consumed reagent volumes was 120 μL) and environ-mentally-friendly (the total waste volume was 1320 μL). Furthermore, both the automation and miniaturization offered a rapid procedure (the sample frequency was 22 samples/h). On the other hand, the chemometric optimization improved the detectability of the method with the limits of detection and quantification of 0.57 and 1.9 μg/mL, respectively.

We propose a united-residue model of membrane proteins to investigate the structures of helix bundle membrane proteins (HBMPs) using coarse-grained (CG) replica exchange Monte-Carlo (REMC) simulations. To demonstrate the method, it is used to identify the ground state of HBMPs in a CG model, including bacteriorhodopsin (BR), halorhodopsin (HR), and their subdomains. The rotational parameters of transmembrane helices (TMHs) are extracted directly from the simulations, which can be compared with their experimental measurements from site-directed dichroism. In particular, the effects of amphiphilic interaction among the surfaces of TMHs on the rotational angles of helices are discussed. The proposed CG model gives a reasonably good structure prediction of HBMPs, as well as a clear physical picture for the packing, tilting, orientation, and rotation of TMHs. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) in coordinates of Cα atoms of the ground state CG structure from the X-ray structure is 5.03 Å for BR and 6.70 Å for HR. The final structure of HBMPs is obtained from the all-atom molecular dynamics simulations by refining the predicted CG structure, whose RMSD is 4.38 Å for BR and 5.70 Å for HR.

The Daniel Fast is a vegan diet that prohibits the consumption of animal products, refined foods, white flour, preservatives, additives, sweeteners, flavorings, caffeine, and alcohol. Following this dietary plan for 21 days has been demonstrated to improve blood pressure, LDL-C, and certain markers of oxidative stress, but it has also been shown to lower HDL-C. Krill oil supplementation has been shown to increase HDL-C.
We investigated the effects of following a Daniel Fast dietary plan with either krill oil supplementation (2 g/day) or placebo supplementation (coconut oil; 2 g/day) for 21 days. The subjects in this study (12 men and 27 women) were heterogeneous with respect to body mass index (BMI) (normal weight, overweight, and obese), blood lipids (normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic), blood glucose (normal fasting glucose, impaired fasting glucose, and type 2 diabetic), and blood pressure (normotensive and hypertensive).
Krill oil supplementation had no effect on any outcome measure (all p > 0.05), and so the data from the krill oil group and the placebo group were collapsed and analyzed to examine the effects of following a 21-day Daniel Fast. Significant reductions were observed in LDL-C (100.6 ± 4.3 mg/dL vs. 80.0 ± 3.7 mg/dL), the LDL:HDL ratio (2.0 ± 0.1 vs. 1.7 ± 0.1), fasting blood glucose (101.4 ± 7.5 mg/dL vs. 91.7 ± 3.4 mg/dL), fasting blood insulin (7.92 ± 0.80 μU/mL vs. 5.76 ± 0.59 μU/mL), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (2.06 ± 0.30 vs. 1.40 ± 0.21), systolic BP (110.7 ± 2.2 mm Hg vs. 105.5 ± 1.7 mm Hg), and body weight (74.1 ± 2.4 kg vs. 71.5 ± 2.3 kg) (all p < 0.05).
Following a Daniel Fast dietary plan improves a variety of cardiometabolic parameters in a wide range of individuals in as little as 21 days, and these improvements are unaffected by krill oil supplementation.

Anaerobic respiration is a major problem that causes the deterioration of fresh produce packaged under low O2 atmospheres. The problem becomes more severe and causes high losses in the packages handling at ambient conditions, especially in developing countries. In designing modified atmosphere packaging, the risk of anaerobic development greatly depends upon the accuracy of respiration rate prediction; therefore, the respiration rate model for a particular produce has to be identified. In this study, different atmospheric storage conditions in a closed system were realized to examine the adaptability of respiration rate models for spinach storage under low O2 at an expected ambient temperature of 25 °C. Six models were applied and it was found that, for aerobic conditions, the respiration rate could be described with a constant respiratory quotient by three models, viz., (a) Michaelis–Menten model without inhibition, (b) Michaelis–Menten model with uncompetitive inhibition, and (c) Langmuir adsorption model, whereas three other models, viz. (d) Michaelis–Menten model with competitive inhibition, (e) Michaelis–Menten model with noncompetitive inhibition, and (f) Michaelis–Menten with mixed inhibition could not be fitted. Among the three successful models, the Michaelis–Menten with uncompetitive inhibition was found to be the most suitable model for practical applications in developing countries where cold-chain systems are lacking. This model can be applied for the prediction of gas composition and optimize the packages, particularly to ensure the aerobic respiration.

Princess Diana Doctor Under Negligence Investigation by GMC
Dr Wheeler was the doctor to Princess Diana and the trusted private GP for a London family for over 30 years but it is alleged that he failed to monitor the effects of a prescribed medication methotrexate over a considerable period of time.
A 66 year old man was prescribed methotrexate for his medical condition psoriasis and took it "once every week without fail" so his family say. The medication was prescribed by a previous doctor in 1999 and Dr Wheeler took over his care in 2003.
Whilst on holiday in Greece in May 2015, Dr Wheeler's patient fell ill and his family had to have him flown back to England by air ambulance in July 2015. He spent his last 8 months in hospital.
At an inquest into his death, it was found that the man had died due to liver failure most probably caused by the toxicity from his psoriasis medication. The patient's death was completely avoidable.
In a compensation claim for medical negligence, Dr Wheeler admitted he breached his duty of care because he failed to correctly monitor the patient by arranging blood tests, a practice recommended by a reference book for all doctors in relation to the methotrexate.
Dr Wheeler however also commented that his patient was diabetic and obese therefore he would have still died from liver failure within two years. He also said in his defence that when he had taken over the care of the patient, he was established on a stable dosage which was controlling his condition without any side effects.
The family of the man recounted that he suffered from continuing health problems such as colds and poor sleep. The illnesses the man suffered with seemed like they were building up over time.
The man's wife commented "That was the nature of being poisoned –drip by drip by drip over this very long period. It's heart-breaking enough to lose your partner of 45 years – but a complete shock and horror when we found it had been totally avoidable."
She also stated that "He was a very intelligent person and had been a great reader. But at the time of his death it was clear his brain function had slowed considerably"
His son added "The duty of a doctor is to protect patients from harm. That's not what we got. It begs the question of whether the regulators are doing their job. This was not just a one-off – it happened over a considerable period of time. The last period of his life was horrifying. We'd like to prevent this happening to other people"
Although Dr Wheeler is under investigation by the GMC (General Medical Council) he continues to practice medicine without any conditions.
In this case, we see that failings of a GP led to the death of one of his patients. Commonly we think that clinical negligence is only in relation to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of medical conditions though this case highlights other aspects. These include the management of medication and also informed consent.
The medication Methotrexate has conditions to its use and one of those stipulations relates to routine blood tests being carried out. The prescribing doctor should advise the patient of this requirement so that any objections to the course of treatment can be discussed.
If the prescribing doctor failed to inform the patient that routine blood tests would be needed or that medication would probably cause serious side effects, it could be argued that the patient lacked the information required to make informed consent.
Where a medical expert fails to monitor the prescribed medication and that medication causes serious harm, the medical expert could be subjected to a claim for compensation due to medical negligence. Identifying Breach of Duty would be relatively simple as would causation.
If you think that you have attended your GP and the care you were given was substandard and caused you further injury, contact us on 0330 355 9210 or firstname.lastname@example.com for a free claim assessment.

On the mantel above; four years on Being Human reduced to a small photo. One episode of Dirk Gently living it large next to it. That film I made with Chris O'Dowd. Me as a young whippersnapper telling jokes.
The current items have been rehomed from an earlier blog. But there's every chance I'll add new stuff. There are always more stories to tell...
I KNOW IT'S OVEr (POSTED 25/2/13)
So. Being Human is over. Ish.
Obviously for the viewing public, there are still two episodes to air but for anyone involved behind the scenes, it's always a series of little deaths; the last day of shooting, the wrap party, the breaking of the sets.
The writers have their own little landmarks; the last time they type a line of script, meet with production staff or an actor says a line they wrote up on screen.
tears of a nerd
I keep trying to sneak nerdy shout-outs into my scripts. None of them ever make it to the screen and it hurts my soul every time that I fail.
Let me give you a little run down of my failures:
In 'FAQ About Time Travel' Pete's lighter has 'FUCK COMMUNISM' stencilled on it. Like the one in the comic 'Preacher' and later in the comic 'Y-The Last Man'. I even wrote a scene where you saw a close up of the lighter. But as I was the only comic reading nerd on the production, the idea was met with blank looks of incomprehension and the shot never made the final cut.
"Best TV Drama Series: Being Human - Toby Whithouse, Tom Grieves, John Jackson, Lisa McGee, Jamie Mathieson"
So I won an award. Which was nice. Well, technically, on eighth of an award. As I wrote one episode in an eight ep run.
Toby has already won two solo Writer's Guild awards for Being Human. I think we can all see the burning resentment in his eyes at having to share the stage this time around.
As we left the stage, I mentioned that he'd already got two of these things cluttering his mantel, so maybe he should... Toby finished my sentence for me. 'You're absolutely right. I'll leave it with Touchpaper.' (The production company)
being human - the graveyard shift
The new series of Being Human is almost upon us. I wrote episode three, 'The Graveyard Shift'. I am inordinately proud of the fact that I also came up with the title for my episode, which wasn't the case last year (damn you Laura Cotton). Obviously I wouldn't dream of spoiling any of the plot points other than to say that it is funny and shocking in a roughly 70/30 percent split. I am very proud of it and would like to publicly thank all involved.
douglas adams rewired my brain
If you were to remove the top of my head and look inside, I'd probably die from shock and blood loss. So don't do that. But if you were to do it metaphorically, and chose to picture my formative creative influences as a series of geographical features, then you would find a pretty big mountain range named 'Douglas Adams'. Probably with a dead whale lying next to it.
being human - type 4
The second episode of Being Human wot I wrote airs this week. Spoilers beyond this point, so go away and watch it then come back. Titled "Type 4" it was a blast to write and I hope everyone found it a blast to watch. I got to introduce zombies to the Being Human universe! Quite a responsibility.
being human series 3
I am writing the third episode in season three. I report this at this late juncture as they're begun filming my episode and paid me for writing it. Which in this business is this only point at which you can be sure it's actually going to happen. Probably.
I got a train from Nottingham to Bristol, where Being Human is shot. The weirdness began at Bristol train station, when I spotted Kemp, or at least Donald Sumpter, the actor that plays him. I introduced myself and he revealed something of a history with Nottingham, (where I live) having performed at the Nottingham playhouse. He was a thoroughly nice man, which proves he's an actor and not evil.
being human
I am writing an episode of Being Human.
For those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically the current jewel in the crown of BBC 3 and you can read all about it here. In a nutshell, it's a flatshare drama with a difference, namely that the flatmates are a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost. And laughable though the premise sounds, it works. Very well indeed.
