Barbara Starfield Lecture, Professor Jeannie Haggerty
"Continuity of care and the new normal of multimorbidity in primary care: appreciating and extending Barbara Starfield's notion of longitudinal person-focused care"
Watch the video.
Professor Haggerty's domain of research is the measure of patient experience of patient-centred healthcare and measurement of access and continuity, and how these measures relate to changes in organisational and professional practices.
Professor Haggerty recalls that Barbara Starfield proposed that while continuity of care is an attribute of good healthcare, it is uniquely expressed and valued in primary care as person-focused care over time, or longitudinality. So continuity in primary care has become virtually synonymous with establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patient and is often indicated by the extent to which a patient concentrates care in their GP. However, as it has become the norm for older adults to have two or more chronic conditions, so being seen by multiple clinicians and having multiple treatment plans has also become the norm. Her talk will summarise research on what patients say about the challenge of managing multiple conditions and seeing multiple providers and present why and how we need to expand the notion of continuity of care to include other clinicians, while underlying the value of person-focused care over time.

Professor Amanda Howe OBE
"Evidence, advocacy and resourcing – can global general practice meet the challenge of universal health coverage?"
Professor Amanda Howe delivered her Starfield Lecture on . She used her global experience as President of WONCA to reflect on the need both for updated evidence on the impacts of investment in primary care, and the need to use smart arguments to persuade governments to invest in the modern medical workforce for effective health care. The lecture was video recorded. Flyer
Professor Howe trained in Cambridge, London and then Sheffield (1973-1980). Following vocational training, she developed both her GP and academic careers in Sheffield before moving to become the inaugural Chair in Primary Care in the foundation team for the new Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia in 2001. She was Course Director during the GMC accreditation process for the new course from 2004-2008, then was also an RCGP Officer 2009-2015. In 2013 she was elected to the Executive of the World Organization of Family Doctors , where she is now President (2016-2018, see www.globalfamilydoctor.com ), while retaining academic and clinical general practice. The last role has brought her into strategic involvement with many major policy units worldwide, including the Robert Graham Center where she has been a keynote speaker for two 'Starfield Summits'. In April 2018 she was apointed Chair of the International Advisory Group on Primary Health Care for Universal Health Coverage.
Starfield Lecture, Professor Martin Roland CBE
"The Future of Primary Care"
Professor Roland trained in Medicine at the University of Oxford. Following vocational training, he worked in London and Cambridge before moving to the Chair in General Practice in the University of Manchester in 1992. He moved to the inaugural Chair of Health Services Research in the University of Cambridge in 2009. Professor Roland was a practising GP from 1979 to 2014.
In 2015, Professor Martin Roland chaired a government commission to identify models of primary care that would meet the future needs of the NHS. In this lecture he described how British general practice could once again become the envy of the world.

Hull City winger Kamil Grosicki has his sights on a return to Turkey, according to his former manager Orhan Kaynak.
Grosicki is hoping to leave the KCOM Stadium this summer and a move to join Nottingham Forest has been widely mooted, but it would appear the Polish international is favouring a move back to Turkish football, with reports that Galatasaray and Basaksehir want him.
The 31-year-old was one of the stars of a mixed season for City last term, and racked up an impressive nine goals with 12 assists for Nigel Adkins' side.
That form has ensured there will be no shortage of interest in capturing his signature this summer, with the Tigers resigned to losing their talented wide man in a bid to shrink down their wage bill.
"Galatasaray and Basaksehir are rumoured to be interested in his signature. I think there's a chance that he can return to Super Lig," Kaynak told Radyospor.
"I worked with Grosicki at Sivasspor. When I speak with him, he told me he wants to return to Turkey."
Grosicki spent three years in the Super Lig between 2011 and 2014, playing for Sivasspor before moving to French outfiit Rennes.
He was expected to move to Turkey last summer after agreeing a move to Bursaspor, but that deal collapsed on deadline day.
Speaking before he played in Poland's two European Championship qualifying victories earlier this month, Grosicki admitted he would take time over deciding his future.
"I am on holiday until July 5th, so that's a long time," he told Polish newspaper PolsatSport.
"For sure, I want to play these two matches and then go on a real holiday to relax.
"I just had some vacation, but with two difficult games ahead of me, I had to keep on form all the time."

Tonight's SCANDAL returned to ABC tonight and it was another great episode. Tonight's show gave us fabulous flashbacks that allowed us to see the real connection between Mellie and Fitz and how his father's raping her is likely what put a wedge between them. She really has sacrificed everything to make his dream come true. I just cannot wait until the next episode, while you wait for next week's episode, as usual, we have some juicy spoilers and a sneak peek video of "Vermont is for Lover's, Too" for your enjoyment below!
On tonight's show Mellie is still trying to recover from the public backlash of the last year so she decides to do a hard-hitting news interview. Meanwhile, as Cyrus continues to plot against Sally Langston, we learn how Fitz, Mellie and Cyrus became a team. Back at OPA, Huck continues to push Quinn away, but Quinn's bloodlust could get her into some dangerous situations. Meanwhile Liv and her staff are investigating the Remington plane crash that was shot down by Fitz years ago. Liv needs to know why her mother was shot out of the sky and everyone is working to get answers . If you missed tonight's episode you can read a full and detailed recap, right here.
Spoiler alert: If you're one of those people who doesn't like spoilers, stop reading now! We have some juicy spoilers for you about the season 3 episode 8 of ABCs "Scandal."
Official ABC Synopsis: "Olivia and the team try to handle both uncovering the truth behind Operation Remington, while also managing a potential crisis with the Josie Marcus campaign. Meanwhile, Quinn falls further down the rabbit hole with Charlie, and Cyrus creates a plan to take down Sally, but doesn't think of the possible harm he could inflict on himself."
On next week's show the team is on a mission to find Omar Dresdan and Cyrus will stop at nothing to take down Sally Langston. Oliva's Mom is alive and in a cell and she wants to see her daughter. "Vermont is for Lovers Too" was written by Mark Wilding and directed by Ava Duvernay.
Scandal Season 3, Episode 8 "Vermont is for Lover's, Too" airs on ABC on November 21st, 2013. Check out the preview video & some photos from episode 8 and let us know in the comments below what you think!

A couple of months ago, I heard from a church in Arizona that was looking for an "evolutionist" to participate in one of their scheduled events. It wasn't described as a debate but as an "open discussion" with an "informal format" relating to evolution vs creationism, where I and some Christian apologist would "each share your thoughts and beliefs on the existence of God or not". That's what the email said.
In that initial invitation, I was asked to compose questions that I wanted them to ask me about evolution, and what I would like to ask them about Christianity. Not creationism; Christianity. At least that's what it said in the email.
So it didn't seem like this was really about science vs pseudoscience. Instead, it sounded like the very first foundational falsehood of creationism; the false dichotomy that one either has to reject God to accept evolution or that one must reject science in favor of a literal interpretation of the Bible. Because they're looking for an "evolutionist" [by which they specified that they meant "atheist"] to argue against a "Christian" [which they obviously assumed as a default creationist] over whether there's a god or not, rather than which explanation has any scientific validity. So I interpreted this as science vs scripture, faith vs fact, something like that.
A day or so later, they made a most exciting request. In addition to this discussion, would I also be "willing to provide a one-hour training session for our leadership team on the basics of evolution and the facts used to prove the theory". I was really excited about that! More so than any other presentation I've ever given! I mean, we have thousands of teachers using legal loopholes and other excuses to teach creationism in public schools, but when have we EVER had someone properly teaching evolution in church?
They had already told me that I was there to address high school students. Adding this event would be perfect! So right away I let them know how I enthusiastic I was to give them the very best evolutionary primer that had ever been recorded for their high schoolers. However when I checked back to see what hour of what day that was to be scheduled, I was told that the entire weekend was booked and they couldn't fit my lecture in. When I finally met with the Pastor, he said we might still be able to do this on some future date, which I'm really eager to get on the schedule.
I didn't see the value of writing questions for someone else to ask me. I thought they should know better than me what they want to ask, but I did precisely as they requested. As I understood it, these questions were to be in the midst of the "open discussion". But as it turned out, there was no open discussion. It was just those questions and that's it, with no follow-up for interrogation nor opportunity for counter-arguments.
When I submitted the requested queries, I was also told there would be audience Q&A. But later that was canceled too, due to lack of time. That's a big deal! Answering questions from the audience are the best way to show which side has any actual truth to it.
It wasn't a very informal setting either. Instead, I was given time limits and a list of strictly enforced rules, one of which prohibited me from insulting the other party even jokingly. So it seems there was a lapse in communication between what they were writing and what I was reading.
I got a copy of the questions back, my opponent's and mine together, and I noticed they were deliberately re-worded, replacing all references to "evolution" with "Darwinism". So I explained to the organizers that the words "evolutionist" and "Darwinist" were inappropriate because they're meant to give the impression that evolution was no more than just another religious belief or an empty guess made by some lonely old man in the 19th century, rather than the field of reliable science supported by 150 years and tens of thousands of peer-reviewed research articles on congruous data compiled since then.
My opponent was apparently made aware of my five paragraph explanation because he arrived ready to defend his misuse of that misleading pejorative as a personal priority.

Man guilty of murder, not manslaughter, jury told
- Published
Closing speeches have been made by prosecution and defence in the trial of a man accused of beating his partner to death.
The prosecution said Brian Buckley, 41, should be convicted of murder, not manslaughter of Leah Ingham, 25, at their home in Wrexham in February.
He denies murder, and the defence said he was trying to stop his partner fighting him over a methadone bottle.
The jury is expected to retire to consider its verdict on Thursday.
Prosecutor Simon Medland told the jury it was not fair to brand Ms Ingham as a hopeless heroin addict, claiming Mr Buckley murdered her in a sustained and violent attack.
He said: "Again and again he punched her, one at least, on his own admission, with full force.
"He head-butted her at least twice."
Mr Buckley has claimed his partner had relapsed into drug-taking, had started seeing someone else and he feared for their two children coming into contact with drug dens.
During a fight over a methadone bottle, Mr Buckley said Ms Ingham scratched his face and punched and slapped him.
He said he punched her back to the face and shoulders, and asked her to stop fighting while he had his arm around her throat after she tried to hit him with a crystal clock.
When he got up from underneath her, he added: "She was quite still. I thought she was dead."
In his closing speech, Mr Buckley's barrister, Patrick Harrington QC, said it was not an attack by a man on a woman, but a "fight which led to tragedy".
Mr Harrington said his client had a personality disorder which could amount to an abnormality of mind in law.
He said he was not asking the jury to clear the defendant, but asked them to return a verdict of not guilty to murder but guilty of manslaughter.
He added: "You must be very careful not to be swept away by the emotional tide that follows from the circumstances of this case."

Our company profile covers how, since 1986, Biofeed® has produced sustainable products that regenerate soils and condition water while protecting the environment.
By 1984 Dan Lee already had several years of experience as a landscaper. Dan was aware of the use of chemical soil care products. For many years, he engaged in deep, self-study of soil chemistry, biology, biochemistry and metallurgy to discover the natural means by which nutrients are dissolved and released to supply energy to hungry plant roots thereby turning soils that are otherwise lifeless to useful and productive.
To do this study, Dan sought the information he needed from local bookstores and libraries. He carefully took time to teach himself the meaning of various scientific terms to understand the basics of what constitutes true biological and biochemical soil fertility and how to unite these concepts into one concentrated formulation. His respect for the environment and natural design ran counter to using chemicals although he realized that some chemicals have a definite place. He held a deep belief there had to be a better way to grow crops, green grass, and healthy plants than by throwing chemicals on the ground. He loved what he was learning, and he began putting what he learned into practice.
By 1986 at age 27, Dan had spent several years formulating a liquid solution to deal with alkaline soil which is dense and hardened by calcium, resists deep-water absorption due to high-salinity, lacking available nutrients and is usually low in organic matter. These southwestern realities all make healthy plant growth hard to achieve. What better place on the Earth to develop solutions? As a result of his study, innovation and field-testing he created what is known today as Biofeed's proprietary Acti-Cell Technology® (ACT).
As of 2021, Biofeed has formulated, manufactured and distributed over 50 liquid fertilizer, environmental and specialty products which repair the earth's soil and water. All Biofeed products employ our key ingredient, ACT®. We have grown from humble beginnings when Biofeed's first "formula" was produced in a small garage, to today's high-capacity manufacturing facility located in Glendale, AZ in the USA.
Biofeed Solutions Inc. holds to its original goal of discovering innovative technologies and developing these into beneficial products that restore and protect the Earth's precious environment.
Dan Lee has continued to study biology, chemistry, and bio-technical applications to understand how the earth's ecosystems co-exist to support life. All this goes into the continued refinement of existing – and the creation of new – Biofeed liquid products.

At 67-69 avenue Pierre Mendès-France, in the 13th arrondissement in Paris, stands a spectacular building designed by the Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta where the Le Monde group brings together all its titles… a strong economic sign, to the time of the digitalization of the press and teleworking.
The new headquarters of Le Monde is above all the result of an outstanding collaboration between two men, Louis Dreyfus, the chairman of the group's executive board, and Kjetil Thorsen, co-founder of the Snøhetta agency also known for the new library in Alexandria, the construction of the Oslo Opera House or the design of the pavilion for the September 11 Memorial Museum at Ground Zero. The building won the 2020 SIMI Grand Prix, in the "new office building over 10,000 m2" category. Le Monde, Courrier International, Télérama, La Vie, Le HuffPost now coexist on the same site, in an HQE building, in the company of L'Obs, in premises cleverly fitted out and equipped with furniture that respects all the new constraints of the regulations European: lowest carbon footprint and zero waste footprint.
The human takes the lead
This is not the first time that Le Monde has moved and each time, it is an exceptional adventure to be managed with skill. From boulevard des Italiens, to rue Falguière, to boulevard Auguste Blanqui and today to avenue Pierre Mendès-France, Le Monde has always known how to choose renowned architects: Baron Haussmann, Pierre du Besset and Dominique Lyon, Christian de Porzamparc… For this new challenge, the Snøhetta agency was chosen, and which worked in close collaboration with SRA Architects.
The project, which had been underway for six years, finally saw the light of day in 2020 in intramural Paris, also thanks to the will of the mayor of the 13th arrondissement, Jérôme Coumet. The building, through its large arch, thus provides a link between two difficult areas of the district, the quays of the Seine and the quays of the Gare d'Austerlitz. The glass facade with fragmented reflections leaves the visitor speechless.
In the reception area, large signature staircases link the first floors of the building. In the editorial conference room, unique in its kind, spiral staircases connect the two floors of the editorial staff. This is where the agency has been able to create and materialize the heart of the newspaper Le Monde, where its content and analyzes are born: in an open well between the 4th and 5th floors, there is an agora for journalists where humans hold the first role. For the first time the brain of a newspaper materializes in space.
On the roof, welcoming terraces overlook the Seine and Paris and allow Le Monde employees to meet. It is a space open to all.
The SK § Associés and Archimage agencies were responsible for the common areas on the seven floors, terrace, cafeteria, restaurant… and the 200-seat auditorium. A work which consisted in finding a dialogue with the architectural lines and the materials used by Snøhetta while expressing a personal project. For users already experienced in the exercise of communication, it was necessary to introduce into the auditorium a notion of originality. A large stage set accompanied by a comfortable tiering makes it possible to physically bring the spectators together and offers the possibility of acoustic shows with great flexibility to adapt to different visual, sound or living scenographies. The seats in the auditorium are signed Figueras.
A strong signal
Louis Dreyfus did not fail to point out that the desire of Pierre Bergé, previously a shareholder in Le Monde, had always been to favor the workspace. The choice of a new building is a strong economic signal, at the time of the digitalization of the press and the generalization of teleworking. These strategic choices and these investments in infrastructure demonstrate the group's desire to equip itself with a working tool that is both beautiful and efficient, promoting emulation and which makes the World an indisputable benchmark in the profession.
With the construction of this building, the sign is given of the ability of everyone to stay connected with each other, within a dynamic and ambitious group. Le Monde is targeting 460,000 digital subscribers at the end of 2021 (content and services) after posting an increase of 60%, reaching 364,000 at the end of 2020. A record.
During the next visits, do not forget to bow to Hubert Beuve-Mery's small office propped up on the grand staircase. A collector's office of a visionary man who had not hesitated to defend his policy of developing the newspaper in the heart of post-war Francoist Spain during a conference at the University of Navarre in 1967. In two years, he had succeeded in doubling the circulation of Le Monde. Louis Dreyfus is on his perfect trajectory.

Bulgarian Lev
The national currency of Bulgaria is the Lev. It is considered, what is the name of the currency received from the medieval coins circulated during the reign of Ivan Shishman. One Lev equals 100 stotinki is a Bulgarian coin. The last time the appearance of the currency (and its "weight") was changed in 1999 after the denomination. Bulgarian national Bank issues banknotes in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 leva and coins of 1, 2, 10, 20, 50 stotinki and 1 Lev.
International trade Bulgarian Lev is BGN designation
The binding of Lev to other currencies
Interestingly, the Bulgarian Lev was always attached to some other stronger currency. So, after the liberation of Bulgaria during the Russian-Turkish war and the introduction of own currency units, the rate was equal to the French franc. For this reason, a small coin was called a penny then, and only after she was given the name Bulgarian stotinki. During the Second world war, the Lev was pegged to the German mark. And after the introduction of the Euro, the Bulgarian national Bank has set a hard line that exists now: 1 € for 1 Lev 96 cents.
The exact rate of the leva relative to the Euro at 1,95583. That is, 1 000 € 1 955, 83 leva.
How to change the levy?
Before you travel to Bulgaria you can buy Bulgarian levs in Russia for rubles, but it is not always convenient, because it is impossible to predict the costs in the country. So tourists take the money with you and change them there.
The exchange rate of the ruble and the dollar in Sofia is more profitable than in the resort area, as indeed in many countries where tourism is developed.
Due to the fact that the Bulgarian Lev has a hard peg to the Euro, you can examine the predictions in the short term and to bring the currency, the exchange of which would be the most beneficial. So, if the dollar rises against the Euro, it is better to bring U.S. currency, as against to the Bulgarian money will be the same situation. If the European currency is losing value, it is better in Russia, and in Bulgaria to exchange.
With regard to currency exchange offices in Bulgaria – a lot of them, especially in places of a congestion of foreigners. Before you give your money, it is important to examine all the plaques, signs and ads, since the input might be written large on zero Commission, and the side - small print on the Bulgarian - that it applies only to transactions from 1 000 Euro. To avoid conflicts, it is best to show the employee of the exchange office the bill and ask you to write or type on the calculator the amount of money you can receive.

Mrs. Emily C. Diffenback of Wilmington, Delaware, an alumnus and former president of the Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs, first donated the funds to establish and maintain gardens around the University of Delaware's campus in 1966. Drs. Charles W. Dunham and Richard W. Lighty, professors of plant science, desired to create a garden and arboretum that would be beneficial to the entire campus. The Emily B. Clark Garden was designed not only to be a place of great beauty and respite, but also to be used as a teaching tool to educate undergraduate students in the College of Agricultural Sciences and graduate students in the newly established Longwood Program in Ornamental Horticulture. Drs. Dunham and Lighty selected the most ornamental examples of plants within each plant group. Plant donations, such as the large paper bark maple (Acer griseum) from Millcreek Nursery (the former nursery of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Frederick, Jr.), laid the foundation for an extensive woody plant collection. A collection of hollies was established with the intention of getting the University of Delaware officially recognized as a Holly Arboretum.
The Emily B. Clark Garden was built using recycled soil from the excavation site of Wolf Hall, previously referred to as "the knoll" on campus. The soil was formed into one large mound and several smaller mounds. A low retaining stone wall was created and runs most of the garden's length. The Emily B. Clark Garden was formally dedicated in May 1973. Some of the plants in this garden are the most mature specimens in the University of Delaware Botanic Gardens. Other notable specimens include California incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), Magnolia (Magnolia x loebneri 'Leonard Messel'), and golden larch (Pseudolarix amabilis). This garden features a diverse collection of ornamental conifers, interspersed with deciduous flowering shrubs and trees and broadleaved evergreen plants which provide ornamental interest throughout the year.
Since 2000, the exhibition "Art in the Garden" has graced the Clark Garden during the spring. The exhibition is a collaboration between the University of Delaware, Towson University and the UD Botanic Gardens Friends members group to provide the community a unique opportunity to view UD student sculptures in an outdoor environment. Special thanks to UD's Department of Art and Design and Towson University's Department of Art. Special acknowledgements to Professor David Meyer and Caroline Golt.

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement (ODECE) has announced the three winners of the 2020 Equity and Excellence Awards in student, staff and faculty categories.
The Equity and Excellence Awards recognize students, staff and faculty who have successfully and effectively worked to promote the principles of making excellence inclusive in teaching, leadership, program management, committee participation, inclusion or community engagement. A celebration honoring the awardees will be held virtually on Wednesday, April 22, at 3 p.m. If you would like to attend the virtual celebration, please contact ODECE directly to request the Zoom link for the celebration. All CU Boulder students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend.
"First given in 1985, the Equity and Excellence Awards stand as one of the longest campus traditions recognizing dedicated faculty, staff and students who give tirelessly to diversity, equity and inclusion endeavors," said Alphonse Keasley, associate vice chancellor in the Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement. "ODECE is pleased to continue the tradition of publicly acknowledging this year's recipients via a virtual ceremony."
Student Awardee
Graduating senior Olivia Gardner is receiving the student award. She is a double major in ethnic studies and women and gender studies with a minor in leadership studies, and has emerged as a mentor to younger students on social justice and equity matters. Through her work with INVST, she has contributed to initiatives aimed at transforming and lifting up students who come from underrepresented backgrounds both on and off campus. A key member of the Diversity and Inclusion Summit committee, she co-organized highly engaging sessions, and was instrumental in mobilizing members of the University of Colorado Student Government to participate in both the 2019 fall and 2020 spring Diversity and Inclusion Summits.
Faculty Awardee
Scott Taylor, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) who has worked as a champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion to establish EBIO's Diversity and Inclusion in STEM seminar, is receiving the faculty award. Taylor also co-organized a multi-department inclusive pedagogy course for graduate students. As shared by one of his colleagues, "Professor Taylor is motivated by a genuine aspiration to make science and academia more welcoming for everyone." By integrating innovative diversity and inclusion practices into all aspects of his work in EBIO and beyond, Taylor embodies the idea of what it means to be an academic who is truly committed to making excellence inclusive.
Staff Awardee
Joan Gabriele, director of Special Undergraduate Enrichment Programs, is being honored with the staff award. She has demonstrated her intentional commitment to making excellence inclusive at all levels of program operation for decades. Joan understands and oversees high-impact scholarship and grant programs that support both the whole student and the whole student body. Her commitment has led to the development and implementation of inclusive student-centered programming that successfully builds community and honors the "funds of knowledge" all students bring to the learning environment.

SEEDS (Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society)
New Delhi, India
After the 2017 floods in Assam, SEEDS collaborated with a local organisation NEADS (North-East Affected Area Development Society) to design and build 80 houses as part of the community-driven flood response programme funded by Godrej.
What is the project about?
Nestled amidst the landscape of India's largest bamboo reserve, and the mighty Brahmaputra River is the valley of Assam. With its tropical monsoon-rainforest-climate, the valley experiences heavy rainfall and gets flooded almost every year. This eastern Himalayan state also falls under the highest seismic zone of India. Vulnerable to natural disasters, the self-reliant Assamese communities have developed indigenous construction and planning techniques over the centuries, creating a built environment exclusive to the terrain. However, due to haphazard development in the region, the traditional knowledge systems are being ignored, leading to an unsafe environment, loss of lives and livelihoods.
The intervention was formulated with a vision to build resilient communities through participatory design, illustrating a model of contemporary vernacular architecture.
Environmentally sustainable solutions that can help communities to cope with recurrent floods were discovered in the vernacular architectural typology of stilt houses built in bamboo. With a participatory approach and the intent of reviving indigenous practices, a 23 Sq. M. core house was designed following Sphere Humanitarian Standards for disaster response within the given budget constraint.
Spatially, it is a simple, yet multipurpose design, supporting the lifestyle of local communities. The stilt is kept high enough to allow day-to-day activities such as weaving, rearing livestock, storage of boats that are used during floods or a play space for children. A semi-open verandah is provided for social interaction, food preparation or basketry as done traditionally by the communities.
Architects and artisans worked together to develop disaster-resilient construction details that could be built using local materials and skills. Required changes were made to enhance the conventional construction details such as stronger foundations; stilt bamboo columns waterproofed with a rubberized coating; introduction of cross-bracings and use of indigenous tying techniques with rattan and bamboo dowels to make the structure resistant to lateral forces during floods and earthquakes.
While the high stilt helps to cope with the annual flooding, its flexible joinery system allows the homeowners to shift the floor higher in case of overflooding – a unique feature that was adopted from the traditional practice of the region.
As practiced in Assamese culture, all the neighbours come forward on the last day of the construction to lend a hand in finishing the house by preparing and fixing the bamboo mat walls together. And at the end of the day, the homeowners celebrate the completion of the house by organising a feast for everyone.
Project Funded by
Stakeholders Involved
Design Team: Local artisans, Sasank IVS, Atul Garg, Kamal Chawla
Engineering: Chandra Bhakuni
Project Manager: Ram Singh
Implementation Partner: NEADS (North-East Affected Area Development Society)
Community participation in the entire process, from design to execution and use of locally available materials, allowed the homeowners to create their own aesthetics and to expand the houses as per their requirements.
What is the impact?
These houses faced two flooding seasons after construction and successfully survived, demonstrating the relevance of integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary building technologies, especially in disaster-resilient community architecture.

#10 George Horne: Bolter
Considering the fact he's not started a game for Scotland this season, you might be surprised to see the wee man as a contender. But Horne has all the trademarks of a Lions bolter with his quick feet, fast service and brilliant support lines. At just 5'9 and 12 stone wet through, it would be something of a surprise if Gatland picked him, but he's just the sort of player who could come into his own on the hard pitches of South Africa.

A Broker Dispels 5 Common Myths About Cyber Insurance
With cyber risks, including data breaches and cyber extortion, more common than ever, it's important that everyone — brokers, underwriters, claimants — understands the difference between a stand-alone cyber policy and other kinds of policies with cyber elements bolted on to them. Unfortunately for everyone, the mainstream media is making this already complex issue even harder for most people to understand.
In March, we wrote about how the mainstream media's mischaracterization of property, casualty, or crime policies with some cyber elements as "cyber insurance" leads many businesses to believe that stand alone cyber insurance policies won't pay out claims. Now, Marsh is weighing in with their own report and they've included hard numbers to show that cyber insurance really does pay.
By the Numbers
● Marsh found that the purchasing of standalone cyber insurance amongst their clients doubled over the past five years with 40% now purchasing cyber policies.
● And those policies pay out. Marsh's report cites a CreditSights statistic which states that in 2018 U.S. domiciled insurers paid $394 million in cyber claims. This is up from $226 million in 2017.
● Reports by individual insurance companies paint a similar picture. In 2018, CFC, a specialty cyber insurer, paid more than 1,000 cyber claims. They expect that number to increase by 50% in 2019. Beazley reported handling more than 3,300 data incidents in 2018.
Some Specifics
In their report, Marsh seeks to address five common myths about stand-alone cyber insurance policies, including the misconception that cyber policies don't cover human error and that recent technology won't be covered.
"A robust cyber insurance policy can contemplate system upgrades where such best practice is the most cost-effective solution. Cyber insurers embrace insureds that view security as a journey, not a destination," according to the report.
Furthermore, the report cautions businesses against the belief that data breach costs are only focused on legal liability. Marsh notes that costs associated with crisis management, business interruption, and reputational damage can also be covered under cyber policies.
Recommended Reading
As technology becomes an increasingly important part of our day to day lives, cyber insurance is growing rapidly as an industry. Sean Conrad, a principal with EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants estimates that the market for cyber insurance will be over $10 billion by 2020.
Captives are becoming an increasingly popular way to manage cyber risks and healthcare organizations are leading the charge in adopting these policies. Twenty percent of health care organizations have adopted captives as a way to manage cyber risk.
