The Mexican Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the ministry overseesing pensions and health benefits — the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social — must give same-sex couples who are married or registered under state civil union laws all the same benefits of opposite-sex couples.
The ruling specifically addressed the question of whether someone whose spouse dies is entitled to survivor's benefits under Mexico's Social Security law, which includes pensions and access to medical services. The case was initially brought by a couple who were refused the right to enroll in full spousal benefits, but one of them died before the case was decided.
Mexico's Supreme Court does not usually release written opinions until several weeks after judgements are announced. But according to press reports, Minister José Fernando Franco González Salas explained when announcing the ruling that the court interprets the Social Security law as requiring a same-sex couple's union be treated "the same as if it were a marriage between people of opposite sexes."
Mexico City is the only Mexican jurisdiction to have enacted marriage equality legislation, but the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that Mexico City's marriages must be recognized throughout the country. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not deny marriages to same-sex couples, and couples in several other states have since successfully petitioned courts for the right to marry. Mexico City and three other states also have civil union statutes open to same-sex couples.

Large corporations have departments devoted to marketing, which suggests just how important managing your business' brand is. First impressions are formed within seconds, and signage is valuable visual real-estate. The cost of the sign is taking away from your company's bottom line, so it's important to make the investment count.
A brilliantly designed sign will not be effective if it can't be seen. If your sign relies on natural lighting, be sure to position it to face the sun. Driving past warehouses, there are often dimly lit signs that are hard to see when cast in shadow on a sunny afternoon. If the front doors of your store does not receive much light during the day due to shadows, consider other options, such as positioning the sign away from the building or choosing a lit sign.
Greenery is frequently used to beautify urban spaces, but trees and bushes can interfere with lines-of-sight. In other cases, older buildings will have large vines wrap around the building. In the winter when the vine is bare, the plant will not obscure signage, but at the height of summer, the leaves form a thick layer that will hide everything. Aside from natural obtrusions, other signs can block the way of people seeing what you're trying to show them. Even if you can secure a space that's visible from all angles, it may not be a good idea to try and compete for attention in a busy space. Like a packed flyerboard, only those who stop to look are likely to see your advertising. Reconsider the location to find the opportunity that works best for your sign.
Lines-of-sight vary relative to distance and and height of the head from the ground. The normal sight line is the looking forward to a few degrees below the horizon. A sign positioned close to the ground meant for pedestrians is not going to be effective for this reason. On the other hand, a large sign can be positioned relatively low to the ground for car traffic if it's not meant to be seen from afar. Remember that space is 3 dimensional. As mentioned above, an area may be cluttered with signs. Pulling back and raising your company's signage gives the eye something to look at that stands out in the way it changes as the audience approaches.
A sign that is too large will not be seen in its entirety, but a sign that's too small will not be legible if noticed at all. A glance at the sign should give the audience a good understanding of the information there. The visual representation should convey something about your company's brand, but the communication is meant to be brief – it's not a painting. The size should be large enough that any writing is legible and shapes clear. On that note, shapes and logos should be simple. Consider a large sign to catch the audience's attention. By covering more area in the field-of-view, you raise the chances that the eyes will notice it.
Pedestrian traffic or car traffic will influence your choice in height and sign. On top of that, the speed of vehicular traffic may also be important. Ads by highways tend to be large or even billboard sized. If the sign you're making is meant to flag down passersby somewhere outside your establishment, you need to give people enough notice ahead of time. For pedestrians, this is not as much of an issue, unless your sign and your business is located on a side street, but you need to give drivers time to slow down and pull into the parking lot of your business. The faster the traffic, the larger the sign needs to be.
Copywriting and logo design can convey so much information. A logo is in essence a picture, which is worth 1,000 words. Fonts can deliver subtle cues to the reader about the values of your company. If your company hasn't developed them yet, consider consulting a professional to design a custom signage for you. A brand isn't something that's easily taken back. Think of it as part of public relations for your company.
Permits and price
Don't forget that you're putting signs on land that you may not own. Even if you do own the land, local bylaws may restrict your use of vertical space. Contact your municipality to learn about what you can and cannot do. If you need to apply for a permit, budget accordingly.

BŘEZINOVÁ, Kateřina. Latinos: jiná menšina? Američtí hispánci mezi Kennedym a Trumpem
1st ed. Prague: Metropolitan University Prague Press and Libri, 2020. ISBN 978-80-7277-584-2
This book is a nuanced portrait of Hispanics in the United States in the period between the administrations of John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump (1961-2021). It first lays out the basic facts of who they are, where they come from and where they reside in the US, exploring the extent to which the (quite varied) characteristics of Latinos define them as one group. It then connects these facts to the political and cultural realities of immigration, citizenship, political participation and the cultural engagements of this – in many ways – different minority in the United States. Based on an extensive fieldwork as well as on surveys of secondary sources in English and Spanish, the author invites readers to follow this vibrant American community with intense transnational ties, and to imagine ways in which US Hispanics expand the American mainstream and make it more diverse in the 21st century.

NITI Aayog is India's key policy think tank. Government records and data have been very inaccurate, portraying a different image of the economic scenario when the situation is completely in dissonance with reality. To address this glaring offence, NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman, Rajiv Kumar has already called for two high-level meetings with the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) to establish new rules and paradigms for proper institutions and individuals to follow.
The main objectives of the meetings were to identify loopholes and to curb and deter deliberate disclosure of vital/confidential information, to win back lost trust and reestablish credibility, and to set up a strong data collection system. The meeting also looked into improving the ethics of the data collection teams/agencies – procuring quality data and subjecting the same to checks and balances instead of overwhelming the statistics with sheer numbers.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is the head of NITI Aayog by virtue of his position. PM Modi believes that traditional handling of complex data has proven to bear their own fallacies, and has urged the technologies and mechanics to be made more robust.
Problems have been identified but finding and implementing solutions may take some time as the processes involved are difficult to workaround but NITI Aayog hopes to come up with guidelines soon. Apart from this, MoSPI is working to upgrade its data collection systems – scrutinising and carefully verifying collected data while working with larger sample sizes.
India's official records have been held hostage by the government officials, susceptible to adulteration as and when required and totally abandoned when debunked. Indian economist, experts, academics and specialists view the situation from a place of distrust and disgust combined while trying to highlight the government and its agencies' dubious yet obvious attempts at hoodwinking.
The government did not disclose the information in the Periodic Labour Force Survey which recorded a rise in unemployment by 6.1% in the fiscal year 2018 as opposed to 2.2% in the fiscal year 2012. Household Consumer Expenditure Report recollected information which showed lower levels of spending from rural sectors, an issue of national economic concern, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) projections were also not accurate.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance commented: "The ministry should not compromise in any manner on the quality of statistical staff at the field level so that the credibility of the whole process is not jeopardised".

When will interest rates return to "normal"?
Mikkel Høegh, Director, Mortgage Credit, at Jyske Realkredit, gets asked this question a lot.
Earlier this year, Jyske made history by being the first mortgage institution in the world to issue a fixed rate callable bond with a negative coupon, garnering massive amounts of international attention in the process. Since that time, he can't enter a room without getting asked the question, "When will interest rates be normal again?" His answer: "This is normal. The interest rate is just a price, driven by supply and demand." In other words, the interest rate we're seeing at the moment is a perfect reflection of the conditions that drive the interest rate.
In this article, we will examine three elements that are crucial to understanding the current interest rate, and why many economists, Mikkel Høegh included, believe it will continue.
This article is based on a presentation given by Mikkel Høegh at VP Securities Market Advisory Group (MAG) meeting in November 2019. MAG is a knowledge-sharing forum open to all VP Securities customers and stakeholders.
The purpose of these meetings is to share information relevant to attendees, including developments and trends in the Pan European CSD market.
The next MAG meeting will be held on 18 March 2020.
Element #1: The structure of the economy
One of the first factors to keep in mind is that negative interest rates are not new. "When we look at the historical development of the real interest rate, we can see that a negative interest rate is not unusual," observes Mikkel Høegh. "For example, at the start of the 1980s, the beginning of the oil crisis, we also had negative interest rates."
Second, the current interest rate is a true reflection of market conditions. "One of the figures that economists are studying closely at the moment is the natural real interest, a figure published by Denmark's National Bank to measure the extent to which the real interest rate is on the right level when compared to the business cycle," Mikkel Høegh explains. "When we look at this figure, we can see that we are exactly where we should be." (See Figure 1 below)
There are several factors that contribute to the decreasing real natural interest rate. One is changes in international saving behaviour. Emerging market economies are saving more, and these savings are often placed in bonds from more developed economies. This increased demand for bonds drives down the interest rates. We are also seeing an increase in savings in the world's developed economies. For example, the United States (the richest 1per cent), China and Japan account for almost 60 per cent of the world's savings. And in the EU, an increased life expectancy amongst residents is also leading to increased savings. When people expect to live longer, they save more, which puts further downward pressure on the interest rate.
History also teaches us a valuable lesson about what negative interest rates reveal about the overall health of the economy. "So one thing history tells us is that we have negative interest rates every time we have a big economic crisis," Mikkel Høegh states.
Element #2: The business cycleAs most students of the financial markets could tell you, everything is a cycle. We've been in an "up" period for some time now, and the question on every economist's mind is when we will have the next downturn. Many believe we are on the cusp of the next recession, which will bring with it a slowdown in growth, lower prices and increasing unemployment, all of which will drive interest rates even lower. Why the gloomy outlook? Many of the world's largest economies, such as the United States, Germany and France, have all posted poor economic growth numbers. On top of that come the trade war between the US and China and the uncertainty surrounding the trade relationship between the UK and the EU. Added to this is the unstable geopolitical situation, such as the recent attacks on oil production. All of this instability prompts investors to search for "safe havens", moving from stocks to bonds and, again, putting further downward pressure on interest rates. As Mikkel Høegh explains, "Economists love to disagree on different topics, but what we can agree on is that trade is good, more trade is better and free trade is best. So a trade war means we will experience some type of recession."
The current interest rate level means the coming recession will differ from previous ones. "This time around we won't have the necessary monetary policy in place at the central banks to decrease the interest rate and kickstart the economy," observes Mikkel Høegh. For example, the Federal Reserve has already lowered the interest rate three times this year, and many believe it will cut it again before the end of the year. The European Central Bank (ECB) will also drive the interest rate further down by printing new money and using it to purchase bonds. The difference is that the US had raised the interest rate prior to the recent spate of rate cuts, while the interest rate in the EU remained low. This means that the ECB's efforts will drive the interest rate even further into negative territory.
Element #3: Denmark and the fixed exchange rateAlthough Denmark is not a part of the Euro, the fixed exchange rate policy means the fates of the two currencies are intertwined. And while the Danish kroner is quite strong when compared to the Euro, the Danish economy will inevitably be impacted by the coming recession. However, all of the factors driving an increase in bond investments have been a positive development for the Danish investment market, especially the mortgage credit bond market. "We have seen a marked increase in interest from international investors," Mikkel Høegh states. "A few years ago, 10per cent of Danish bonds were owned by international investors. Now, 25 per cent are internationally held, and if we look at fixed rate bonds, it's almost one-third that are owned by international investors. If you then look at specific series, 50 per cent of the 1per cent bonds are owned by international investors." According to Mikkel Høegh, Japanese pension funds are particularly interested in the Danish mortgage and property market. "They look at our 200-year history without loss and they find that very appealing."
All factors seem to point in the direction of continued negative interest rates, and of further cuts yet to come. Investors and consumers will continue their saving behaviour, choosing to place their money in more "stable" instruments, such as bonds, and Denmark seems well poised to benefit from this trend, and weather the next economic storm. However, as Mikkel Høegh points out, nothing is certain. "We've been surprised many times before. But when we look at these factors and current market conditions, it's difficult to see what would make the interest rate rise at this point." So, welcome to the "new normal".

Hornchurch Green Spaces Are Appealing
27th January 2021 posted in Home Lifestyle
With another lockdown in place, it is vital people find the time to exercise safely. If you need to exercise outside, you will benefit from living close to a park or open space.
This isn't always the case in London, but of course, not all parts of London are the same. Hornchurch is a hugely appealing area of London, and if you are looking for a fantastic park on your doorstep, St Andrew's Park is a fantastic option.
Find a reliable green space close to home
The introduction to St Andrew's Park on the local council website is as follows;
"St Andrew's Park covers an area of 7.5 acres. The park is mainly set to grassland on a slope that falls on a gentle gradient to the north. The park has a hard surface path that runs around the perimeter, allowing year-round access. In the south east corner, a disused tennis court has been converted into a child's marked roadway for cycling.
The park has a number of formal features on the southern side, such as play area, multi-use games area and an outdoor gym surrounded by formal planting."
It is interesting, and pleasing, to note that St Andrew's Park won a Gold Award in 'Park of the Year', London in Bloom 2019. This is a clear indicator of the high quality of the park, and if you are looking for a great open space in and around Hornchurch, this is likely to be a suitable option.
You will also find no shortage of parks and open space in Havering. The local council website takes great pride in listing the top 25 parks in the local area! There are some parts of London that would struggle to compile a list of its five best parks, so it is fair to say Hornchurch and Havering residents have a lot to like in the local area.
Green space is important in the housing market
This is just as well, as many property market professionals have spoken about the increasing need for green space.
Michael El-Kassir is the managing director of GRE Assets, and he said; "With the imposed lockdown restrictions meaning people have spent much more time at home this year, we believe this has led to a distinct rise in the number of people seriously considering their next property move. Low interest rates, the existing Help to Buy scheme and stamp duty incentives, have also created a sense of urgency."
Michael continued by saying; "The pandemic has been a wakeup call for prospective buyers and renters, who have reassessed their priorities when looking for their next home. Not only are they spurred on to make the leap from London, they also recognise the importance of having access to green space, whether that is nearby parks, balconies, terraces, and gardens."
Simon Rubinsohn, RICS Chief Economist commented: "The latest RICS survey provides firm evidence of a strong uplift in activity in the housing market which should help support the wider economy gain traction over the coming months. More of a concern is the pick-up in prices which could intensify issues around affordability in some parts of the country. Disaggregated data shows demand generally to run ahead of supply."
Simon also said; "Meanwhile the results provide a further pointer to more substantive changes taking place in household behaviour in the wake of the pandemic. Increased demand for properties with garden and near green spaces has if anything increased since we tested the water in May."
If you are keen to stay in touch with the local housing market, we can help. At Hunters Hornchurch, we are on hand to ensure you receive all the guidance you need in the local property market, and we are here to assist you.

Charities Find Unlikely New Champion in Private Equity
The slash and burn culture of private equity seems ill-suited to the warm and well-meaning charity sector. But perhaps that is just what the latter needs.
August 29, 2009, Telegraph — An emerging model, known as venture philanthropy, aims to boost the productivity of an often bloated and inefficient third sector, using venture capital techniques of due diligence, ongoing engagement and rigorous performance measurement.

Tokyo, Japan, July 30, 2021—On the seventh day of competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, nine men's epee teams have completed quarterfinals and placement rounds through the semifinals. This evening, ROC faces Japan for the gold medal, with Korea and China fencing for bronze.
In the table of 16, Japan defeated USA, 45-39, to advance into the quarterfinals where they beat France in a close match, 45-44. In the semifinal rounds, Japan beat Korea, 45-38, and ROC defeated China, 45-38. For the fifth through eighth placement positions, France—the three-time defending Olympic champions—took fifth place over Ukraine, 45-39, while Italy beat Switzerland, 36-34.
"The Olympics are special to me", said Japan's Kazuyasu Minobe. "We have to work together as a team to win the game, which we did. For tonight with the Russian team, we've been watching them as a team and individually to be ready. We are very pleased to make the finals and it has been an incredible day for each of us, our team and Japan overall."
"Basically, the Japanese team took on a huge lead at the beginning of the semifinals", said Korean Olympic champion Sangyoung Park. "It was such a big difference that instead of trying to get four or five points at a time, we focused and worked to get a few points in each round to catch up and even the score. We felt that would give us a better chance of making up the difference and then having a chance to win."
"Today was not what we expected", said Switzerland's Michele Niggeler. "We really tried to prepare against Korea in the quarters but in the end something went wrong. Perhaps we should have changed our strategy but we had confidence, but now we can say we were wrong. Tokyo 2020 was my first time at the Olympics, and while I didn't fence how I wanted to and didn't get a medal, as my first time I'm very proud of my team, myself and of all the people here, who have been really great."
"We have had a long year of preparation for the Olympics", said Ukraine's Anatolii Herey. "We came here after working hard, and although we only had sixth place today, I want to thank my teammates, coaches and everyone at Tokyo 2020 because they've been amazing, including the organization in the village and the phenomenal competition management."
"I must say it's been a little odd fencing here in Japan with all the rules and difference because of the pandemic", said French world champion Yannick Borel. "We've only had one event in 18 months and while we tried to prepare individually and as a team as much as possible, it wasn't enough. Only work can make us stronger, and all of us are going to work individually and together to build a really competitive team. Now we set our sights on Paris 2024 with new athletes, new coaching and new events. For each year there is one title and everyone fights for it. You have to be in the moment, and I didn't make it this year but I will come back stronger."
Complete information about fencing results and athletes at the Olympic Games may be found on the official Olympic website and on the FIE website, www.FIE.org.

news and thoughts on and around the development
of the iCite net
by Jay Fienberg
posted: Jul 8, 2003 11:02:19 PM
Don Park's Daily Habit, fortunately, continues to be a more than daily habit for Don with lots of good posts. Yesterday, Don linked to Gary Lawrence Murphy's post on Echos of RSS and pointed out its second part about value-added RSS feeds.
Not too long ago, I started talking about the iCite net being about feeds, lists and packages, which I am sure sounds totally bizarre if you can't instantly picture feeds, lists, and packages of data. But, this iCite thing I am into is about creating ways to easily package information, group it into lists, and make it all available as feeds that others can re-package and/or list.
Various folks have used the term microcontent to talk about what happens to be the nugget that is often being aggregated via RSS. (See Anil Dash's Introducing the Microcontent Client for background on this.) What I am looking at, and what I think Don and Gary are commenting on, is the feed of microcontent streams itself being used like microcontent: that is, where the feed is itself easy to reuse, refactor and add value to it.
As an example of the way I think about it: I want to take any RSS feed or any portion of any RSS feed, combine it with other RSS feeds, pieces of web pages, database info, metadata and identities, and package that both so others can feed it (via RSS) and/or themselves deconstruct, value-add and repackage it—often creating feeds of their results.
I think information is really an art—that is how it is different than data. I think "information management" is really data management or content management, and with information, one has to talk about information architecture and related forms of information artisanship and information artistry.
So, I think this whole microcontent thing, and what I see as a parallel with value-add feeds, among other things, is like developing motifs with information. What I think is todo next is develop fun ways to use those motifs together in larger works, and also to have easy ways to pull new motifs out of larger works.
I hope the iCite net will provide a nice set of instruments for doing these sorts of things specifically, and that, as such, it will harmonize (integrated into or be interoperative with) the microcontent tools that exist today.

yes, that's it exactly, and it need not even be explicit. For example, if you look at my aggregated feeds on the news page of www.teledyn.com, the very fact of my linking them together into one of my nonsensical categories already provides that famous bit of metadata, "People who like X also like Y" so whether or not my categories fit someone else, there is still some sort of connection to be made between all those blogs I might call KM or edu-blogs. What's more, because I chose those few out of many, I've implicitly rated the feeds as somehow better than all those I didn't include (even if better only means I wasn't able to find the others) and if someone values my judgment, then my rating of a feed gains more value in their esteem when they subscribe to my aggregate (they can't yet, because Drupal doesn't yet re-RSS an aggregate, but I hope to provide it soon and have been asked about it). The same is true of blogrolls: If I respect a blog author, I'm more likely to check out their list of blogrolled sites than those I find on a site that turns me off, or those that look to be robot accumulations of every blog the author has ever seen. I've discovered many blogs this way, by the implicit recommendation of the metadata that this author liked them. I see your comments are like Radio, they provide no preview. My apologies if my em-elements are printed verbatim, and if they are stripped or obeyed, then please disregard this disclaimer ;)

Ah ... ok, not only do you accept em-elements, but I also see now that a blank line is not a para-break
I'll know better next time.

The Stars of Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders was born September 8,1941 in Brooklyn, New York.He has a
stellium in the 1st house with a Sun(outward appearance), Neptune( best placement for Neptune to be is in Virgo) and Dragons head in Virgo. As a Virgo, Bernie is a great organizer with good attention to details. He is very methodical and fastidious in every project he undertakes and he is also very courageous and would like to be a leader (or ruler). The only danger here is that he can overdo it by becoming too critical and overworking himself. Virgos are socially gracious and are repulsed by vulgar behavior. His 1st house placement indicates a very forceful personality. The issue of power will keep reoccurring in his relationships, and he has learned thru the years to cultivate a spirit of compromise as we can see from being the only Democratic candidate to appear on Fox news. One of the most positive aspects of Bernie Sanders is his very direct and brutal honesty. This house placement also indicates that he is generally healthy, and I know all about the heart attack and pacemaker. My grandmother had a pace maker put in and she lived to be 99 years old. If its any sign in the zodiac that can do well in old age its Virgos and Capricorns.
Neptune in Virgo will absorb new information like a sponge and can apply it practically. Bernie is scientifically oriented and may be skeptical of metaphysical or psychic matters.His greatest satisfaction will come from serving those in need. He is hypersensitive, visionary and artistically creative. He does have strong psychic abilities but since he dismisses the metaphysical world for the scientific world he will never tap into these energies that could very well help him win an election.
Bernie has a Dragons head in Virgo making him a double Virgo. He is very sensitive and compassionate, and others often come to him seeking comfort. He has the ability to feel the pain of others, and can be an easy mark for people with hard luck stories. In many lifetimes, he has been deceived by people who took advantage of his compassionate nature. His challenge now is to realize he cannot help everyone and to develop judgment and discrimination. Learn to say "no" and stick to it. He has empathic characteristics and must learn to focus on the positives of his Dragons head. Some of which he has already achieved such as a genius in research and organization. A great communicator, and public relations person.
Mercury(communication) is in Libra(2nd house). This is all about "group efforts", and his slogan "Not me,Us" is so very Libra. Others are usually impressed by your rational or completely unhinged by his logic, reason, well-balanced mind, and his persuasive public speaking techniques. It is important for him to have a harmonious social life, and chooses his friends wisely. With his sharp mind,natural administrative and organizing abilities, he could have great success turning his inventive ideas into material wealth(Virgo is the natural born book writer) and Bernie as made money on his best selling book.
Venus in Libra(2nd house) is all about the value of marriage for personal fulfillment. His surroundings must be harmonious and he has learned the value of money early in life and has a natural talent for finance. This would explain why the elitists in Washington do not want this man in office. Since he has a flair for finance he will expose all of their sins.
Bernie has a Mars in Aries( 8th house) and has both an active mind and an active lifestyle. He is very enthusiastic about life and wants to live every moment to the fullest. With Mars in its home sign, Aries, and this pertains to him more in his younger days then now but he can often act without thinking through all of the consequences and can therefore be rash and impulsive. This can even result in injuries (especially to the head).Mars in Aries isn't known for their patience. Karmically,he can make up for past lives of greed and abuse by sharing his resources with others in need.
Bernie's Moon is also in the 8th house of Aries. Moon in Aries people are also known for their fiery tempers, although you quickly get over it. Individual freedom and self-expression are important to him along with new ideas. In his career he is attracted to positions of authority, and can often achieve them. On the negative this placement can be all talk and no action. This house placement also gives emotions a Scorpionic touch (Scorpio rules the Eighth House). He probably saw his mother as an intense individual, and his relationship with her transformed him in some way. There is nothing superficial about this person. You get what you get. He look for a deeper meaning in things; When you feel, you feel to the depths of your soul.
The Lord of Luck, Jupiter is in Gemini(communication)/Tenth House(career,public standing). This placement gives souls a keen sense of humor and are a witty conversationalist. They try to be the eternal optimist, and try to lend a helping held to others in need. Bernie has a high regard for education and travel as keys to building your minds and is well versed on the latest technological developments in the business world. He also has a skillful command of language and are an effective speaker. This placement of Jupiter indicates that he will have more than his share of just plain good luck, be highly ambitious and have the self-discipline required to achieve success in his chosen career. He will seek the honor and respect of his peers and community, and he feels a strong sense of responsibility toward society as a whole.
There has been a lot of controversy ,back and forth between both parties on Bernie Sanders. The Conservative think hes nuts and many hate him for being of Jewish decent since that party owns the KKK and white nationalism. The Democratic party hates is guts too because its all about lobbyists and money. However, I think his heart is in the right place and is just trying to bring Americans into the 21st century with health care. It does make me wonder how corrupt our own government is. Why is it so damn hard for this nation to not give its citizens health care. Please don't give me that crap about socialized medicine. Canada, France,Norway and many other nations have this for their citizens. These countries are not communist states but free sovereign nations of democracy. And some of you really need to pick up a dictionary and look up some of these meanings that Republicans and Democrats throw around like communism,socialism and fascism. Most of you have been indoctrinated to have disdain for the very thing that is a human right.
In the end I feel Bernie has his heart in the right place but the corruption from the establishment will not allow him to be president. Biden will not be able to beat Trump but Bernie would clean the floor with Trump because education and true facts will be thrown at him and this would create a temper tantrum by the toddler in the white house. Trump once again gets lucky as he probably wont have to face Bernie. Trump fears Bernie, not because of Bernie himself but the movement that stands behind him. In the end, people will see the voter suppression, corruption and lies. Bernie just may be the man who crushes the DNC and I'm all for it. Dramatic changes are coming in politics. Get ready.
I really don't enjoy doing these and I'm sure I will lose followers but I dont give a rats ass because the stars never lie and I can always judge someones character by their celestial blue print.

Casa Susegad offers abundant peace and tranquility, where guests can relax, recover and restore their spirits. Should you want to move further afield, its staff will help you to plan excursions to enjoy more of beautiful Goa. Loutolim is situated in the heart of Goa and offers the perfect starting point to explore the whole State.
On Foot
The Casa is set amongst the trees on the periphery of the village with no through traffic to disturb the serenity of its setting.
For those wishing to walk out from the Casa, there is a local village map and/or a special guided sunrise walk in the adjacent jungle forest to ready guests for a wholesome breakfast.
Loutolim has many beautiful houses to see as well as a fine church and a local temple. These are best seen on foot and the quiet tree canopied lanes seem created to enhance these pleasant strolls where you will gain an insight into the ways of rural village life. Visit the local mill where the Casa cold presses its own coconuts to make coconut oil or stop by the bakery that makes the Casa's bread every day. Particularly vibrant is the bustling Saturday morning market where fresh spices at local rates are a particular bargain.
Beyond Loutolim
Colva, Majorda and Benaulim beaches are around 20 minutes away by village taxi. With the new bridges and super highway through Goa nearing completion, destinations in both the far north and far south of the State will be easily accessible from the villa.
One of the trips most favoured by the Casa's guests is the three hour journey through the hinterland and mountains. Here you get to take in the wetlands, the padi fields, the cashew forest and, from July to January, the rivers and waterfalls, ending up at one of the world's favourite beaches, Palolem, in time for a very special sea food lunch on the beach. The more direct drive home again is only just over an hour.
Margao, Goa's commercial centre, is just fifteen minutes away and visits to the various markets and the historic town centre area are a must do to experience the local way of life. An early morning visit to select your own fish for dinner is also recommended.
The temples and spice farms of Ponda are only 20 minutes from Casa Susegad and trips are easily arranged.
The Churches and Se Cathedral of Old Goa can be reached in just 40 minutes and undertaken either as a one-off trip or as part of your journey to Fontainhas and Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception church in Panjim
Whether shopping locally or further afield, the Casa team will be happy to share the latest hot tips with you, and even introduce you to the very best tailor (subject to her available time) and jeweller.
Further Afield
Goa is a great central point for exploring more of India. With places like Hampi, Coastal Karnataka and Kerala and Mumbai all easily reached by train it can be quite an adventure moving on. Whilst air travel can be organised quite late in the day (sometimes at a premium rate, if very late) train travel has to be planned some months in advance. Casa Susegad are pleased to recommend Neha Tours and Travels as their agent of choice in Goa for onward travel.
Making your Holiday Pay
Dental Affairs are recommended by Casa Susegad as Doctor Rahul Wagle has tended to your hosts for many years now. Norman is very proud of his implants and Carole no longer needs sedating to sit in a dentist's chair. Many guests have managed to 'pay' for their vacations out of the savings made on extensive, world class dentistry. Let the Casa put you in touch with Dr Rahul before you travel to explore your options and charges.
Hospitals are of a very high standard in Goa and guests have had numerous procedures here, either for reasons of expediency or expense. Again the savings are remarkable over the costs in Europe and the United States, particularly for a wide range of cosmetic procedures. Casa Susegad will be pleased to point you in the right direction and to look after your domestic needs, both before and after procedures.
With everything from mens' suits to stunning dress copies available, Casa Susegad will be pleased to help you find the right fabrics and the right person for the job.
Reworking old gold and silver is a very exciting way to both acquire a unique piece of jewellery and to save a small fortune doing it. One of the owners' oldest, and most trusted, friends also happens to be a highly renowned gem dealer, with connections to many artisanal jewellers for a variety of hand made styles. Probably Carole's favourite arena for guest support!

This rose bouquet with interesting greens can add just as much drama as the flowers do. If you wish to make a monochromatic bouquet (all one color), it
is important to add more unique textures, incorporating into the design. Variegated pittosporum is a favorite with florists. It comes in both
variegated (mixing whitish shades on the leaves) to a solid green. It
has beautiful leaves that are well suited for matching corsage and
boutonniere work and can easily be cut into lengths for bouquet
Cut between the leaves, choosing a point on the stem where no laterals are coming off. Cut an angle so the bottom inserts easily into the wet foam.
The glossy leaves cluster in a 4 to 6 leaf circle around the stem.
Tuck it down deep into the foam so that it pushes the leaves upward and helps conceal the cut edge of the stem.
These leaf clusters are bigger than the ruscus, so don't overdo. Just tuck a few pieces in here or there at random.
See how the different shaped green and a little variety in color adds more interest.
Tuck a few clusters in the side.
By now the cascade is well defined and the greening is almost done. Wait, though . . . we're going to add one more interesting foliage
Lily grass is an absolute favorite of mine. I love adding this long accent in everything from bridal bouquets to corsages and boutonnieres.
Lily grass is a little sturdier than bear grass and can be inserted easily into the florist foam.
I've tucked both ends into the foam, creating a loop of grass that encircles the other greenery.
Cutting the grass ends to a sharp angle helps insertion go easier.
Insert the stem deep enough that there isn't chance of it popping loose. See how the grass inserts into the Oasis foam.
At an angle down the opposite lower right of the bouquet, I put two straight lengths of the grass coming out.

Chastity Palermo founded her gift company, originally based in New York, Magpie Primitives back in the early 2000's. Since childhood, she has loved the look of magpie crows, and since magpie is a word which also describes someone who likes to collect and gather things, the name seemed fitting. Magpie Primitives' wearable candles are part of a spa collection and are made from an all-natural blend of soy, coconut and shea body butter that burns cleanly and is safe to use on skin. These candles are a best-selling product for the company. With all natural ingredients, Palermo ensured her products would be safe for anyone to use!
Palermo has expressed how we are exposed to thousands of pollutants every day, everywhere we go. She feels it's important to bring as few pollutants into our homes as possible; yet everyone wants pleasant-smelling homes and products. The solution for Palermo was to create pleasant-smelling, natural, functional items for everyone's homes and bodies. Her goal is to keep Magpie Primitives as personal as possible while she grows. She never wants to lose sight of how she got to where she is and the people who helped and stuck by her side along the way
There is a lot of effort on Palermo's part to vet her vendors, test raw materials and consistently quality check all incoming raw materials, even from vendors that she uses regularly. Palermo is always on the hunt for new and exciting natural product vendors to source materials for her product lines. You will rarely find her away from production and, in fact, most of the manufacturing is done by her alongside her assistants! Magpie Primitives is quickly expanding and reintroducing other product offerings, like dolls, décor and adult skincare gifts. They will be all natural unless noted otherwise, and the target market for the Magpie game plan is going to be hotels, spas, boutique pharmacies and specialty shops.

This week the Brazilian government is making another move to gain new support for the political, social, and economy recovery of Haiti. Brazil, which has been in charge of the United Nations peace force in Haiti since July, 2004, is discussing the future of international assistance to that country at the UN Security Council.
The Minister of Foreign Relations, Celso Amorim, who is representing Brazil at the meeting, said that he is optimistic and hopes that international public opinion will continue to be mobilized on behalf of Haiti's rebuilding effort.
In Amorim's view, the international help provided to Haiti corresponds to what the Brazilian government expected. He made a point of mentioning the US$ 1.2 billion transferred to the country to help the country pay its debts to the World Bank.
Amorim once again reiterated the tripod "security, dialogue, and international aid" as the essential pillars for Haitian recovery.
According to the Minister, dialogue is vital for the Haitians themselves, as well as for the rest of the world, to expedite the public safety operations intended to restore order in the country.
As for the Security Council meeting, Amorim made it clear that no direct answer is expected regarding operations in Haiti – only a forum for debate.
According to Amorim, Brazil's role in charge of the UN peace force in Haiti was important for the mobilization of global efforts on behalf of the Haitian population.
"The existence of an Economic Council Group working in conjunction with the Security Council is in large part due to Brazilian initiatives," he remarked.
From New York Amorim is traveling to Africa, where he will visit five countries in the coming week.

Motorcycle Insurance
Motorcycle Insurance Quoting Platform
About Motorcycle Insurance
Driving a motorcycle can be a lot of fun, cost-effective, and a huge time saver. However, it is also the highway to the danger zone. Obviously, drivers are legally mandated to have insurance coverage, but you have a choice over what type. This is crucial for motorcycle drivers. Motorcycles incur a lot of wear and tear they are far less stable than four-wheel vehicles, which makes them much more prone to collisions and damages. Drivers of motorcycles are also more seriously affected by weather and the elements, which can increase the risk of accidents.
And, finally, motorcycles have much lower visibility than normal cars. Since they are harder for other drivers to see, they are involved in far more accidents. If you are on the road on a motorcycle, you want to make sure that you are sufficiently covered.
These days, motorcycles come with an astounding number of fancy features, which can make them quite expensive. This can become a problem when it comes to making repairs or replacing stolen bikes. Motorcycles are also easier to steal than cars, trucks, and SUV's which makes them statistically more vulnerable to theft. So, there is a lot of risks when it comes to motorcycles, which makes sufficient insurance critical for drivers. You might think that it's not worth saving on gas to pay insane premiums, but it's not as expensive as you may think. Luckily we already did the research for you!
The best way to start the process is to get a quote and look at what is offered. What is covered? What is the deductible? What are your monthly premiums? How much will be covered when you make a claim? Are there bundling options? Are there safe driver incentives?
You will also want to consider:
- Property damage insurance
- Physical harm to you or another driver as a result of a collision
- Uninsured motorist coverage
- Custom components and equipment insurance
Now that you have an outlet of research at your disposal start by assessing your needs and planning to make sure you pick the best policy. If you have questions about more specifics, check out our many articles about motorcycle insurance.

Christopher McQuarrie it seems quite likely that he will contribute to the mysterious script of the film once Doug Liman You have completed your initial draft, which is currently in the midst of writing.
NASA and SpaceX will also be involved.
It seems that POT set the stage for production aboard the International Space Station and the company SpaceX will provide transportation. So Tom Cruise everything is well tied to make your dream of shooting a movie in space come true. Something that has never been done before.
Even if Tom Cruise it still has two Mission Impossible sequels to roll and release. The seventh installment of the saga will hit theaters in 2021 and the eighth in 2022. So when the filming of both ends, it will start packing for the planet.
Hopefully soon they will give us more details about this space movie that still has no title and which actors will be willing to accompany Tom Cruise to conquer the last frontier. But it will certainly be more than just a movie, it will be a great event for humanity.

Investing in Isotopes
LMC Receives Avantor Foundation Grant For Research on Stable Isotopes in Nesting Leatherbacks
In order to further research on nesting sea turtles and their migratory movements, Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) applied and received a grant through the Avantor Foundation to examine stable isotopes in nesting leatherback sea turtles. The Avantor Foundation supports organizations and programs in alignment with research, health, well-being, and science education. This is a collaborative effort between LMC, Florida Atlantic University, and the Southwest Fisheries Science Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
Using Stable Isotopes
LMC's researchers are examining stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, which will provide detailed information about the animals' diet, movements and habitat use. Used as a tool for researchers, stable isotopes allow researchers to gather information stored in the animals' tissues (e.g. skin and blood). This increasingly popular technique has recently helped sea turtle biologists understand the diet and migratory movements (where sea turtles travel prior to nesting) of different sea turtle species.
A major goal of this project is to use stable isotopes to better understand some of the large scale movements of leatherbacks nesting in Juno Beach, FL and the level of variation within our nesting population. For example, leatherbacks that forage in different parts of the Atlantics Ocean will show different isotopic signatures (ratios of nitrogen and carbon).
Furthering Sea Turtle Migration Research
"We can learn a lot about an animal from its unique elemental signatures found in its tissues," said Dr. Justin Perrault, LMC's Director of Research. In using stable isotopes, we hope to determine the location(s) where leatherbacks forage prior to their arrival at Florida's nesting beaches. These techniques are less expensive than satellite telemetry, and will allow us to study many more animals at a time."
Our researchers hope to also use the samples collected from leatherback sea turtles to grasp the variations in the oceanographic processes found in the North Atlantic Ocean. Stable isotopes can be a powerful tool for science, however, interpreted results can be complicated. With this research, our team will be able to make recommendations for researchers hoping to use this technique for Atlantic leatherback turtles in the future.
Nesting Leatherback Sea Turtles
The 9.5-mile stretch of beach that LMC researchers monitor annually welcomes nesting leatherback sea turtles. From January through March, leatherbacks begin to breed preparing to lay eggs in March, April and May. LMC's researchers will begin to regularly monitor local beaches beginning on March 1st through October 31st (the official sea turtle nesting season). During the 2019 nesting season, LMC researchers recorded and protected 187 nests on our local South Florida stretch of beach. As LMC researchers document the 2020 season, they will provide their insights on our Leatherback Project blog.
Since 2001, LMC's research team has cataloged and studied our local leatherback sea turtle population, which has resulted in a robust leatherback sea turtle dataset. Palm Beach County beaches account for approximately thirty percent of leatherback nests laid in the state of Florida, making these beaches crucial nesting habitat for leatherback turtles. The continuation of long-term data collection is essential in determining and improving the health of the Atlantic leatherback population.
One Mission. At Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) we strive to be industry leaders in sea turtle and ocean conservation. Our work is focused on four core pillars, each focused on demonstrating measurable impact. Our team researches and conserves sea turtles, because sea turtles tell us the health of the ocean, which in turn tells us the health of our planet. These critical indicator species serve as our global ambassadors for ocean conservation. In this blog, we invite you to dive into the depths of ocean conservation and explore our research efforts.
Our PhD lead research biologists monitor one of the most densely nested loggerhead sea turtle beaches in the world. Through our comprehensive datasets and innovative studies, we are able to determine threats affecting the health of our sea turtles, oceans and ultimately us. Our research and datasets are invaluable not only to scientists, but also to local, national and international coastal managers.

What I've been reading
1. Jason Brennan, Against Democracy. He is a epistocrat. P.S. voters are ignorant and irrational. Furthermore "Politics is not a Poem." I agree with most of the debunking arguments in this book, but I am not convinced epistocracy ends up being better; Brennan's examples of epistocracy include restricted franchise, plural voting, voting by lottery, epistocratic veto (the Senate, but more so), and weighted voting. I see big advantages to a strict normative ideal of legal egalitarianism of civic rights, and I suspect that ends up meaning some form of democracy, albeit constrained by the overlay of a constitutional republic.
2. Ji Xianlin, The Cowshed: Memoirs of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The classic account of its kind, in this edition brilliantly translated and presented.
And I am happy to praise Frank Dikötter's The Cultural Revolution: A People's History 1962-1976, but I did not find it as revelatory as his earlier books on China. Here is a Judith Shapiro NYT review.
3. Aileen M. Kelly, The Discovery of Chance: The Life and Thought of Alexander Herzen. Beautifully written, and full of interesting history, but it never quite convinces the reader that Herzen is an interesting and worthwhile intellect for 2016. Maybe he isn't — does that make this book better or worse?
David L. Ulin's Sidewalking: Coming to Terms with Los Angeles is a meditation on to what extent Los Angeles succeeds as a walkable city, or someday might get there.
There is Don Watkins and Yaron Brook, Equal is Unfair: America's Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality, by no means do I go all the way with them, but still this a useful corrective to some current obsessions.
Don and Alex Tapscott, Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World lists more possible uses for blockchains than you would have thought possible.
James T. Bennett, Subsidizing Culture: Taxpayer Enrichment of the Creative Class, the subtitle says it all.

I've been dating my boyfriend for about a year now, and when COVID-19 started, we went to stay with his parents in upstate New York. (We both live in Queens, but not together, and have roommates.) At first, we were both working remotely, and then I got laid off from my PR job. I've been looking for work, but it just seems pointless — no one is really hiring right now. I've been using my unemployment to pay rent on my apartment back in New York ($800 a month) and trying to save whatever is left over. I have about $5,000 in savings at this point.
My boyfriend's parents recently brought up the subject of us paying them $400 each per month for food, utilities, etc. Which is fair — I'm happy to help cover expenses, especially since we've been here so long. But also, that's a lot, and I feel like I have very little say in the matter — what food they buy, etc. Now my boyfriend wants us to stay here for the rest of the summer. He also suggested that I end my lease in Queens to save more money (the lease is up in August) and we'll "figure things out in the fall." I get that he's trying to help me out, and his parents have been so generous — but I'm going a little nuts being cooped up without my own space, especially without a job. I also like my apartment, and I don't want to lose it.
I can't decide what to do. I'm torn between doing what's cheapest (staying here and ending my lease) and what I actually want to do (keep my apartment). I'm scared of going back to the city and running out of money. And I don't want to hurt my boyfriend's feelings or seem ungrateful. How should I handle this? I'm feeling pressure to decide soon, because I have to tell my roommate if I'm moving out.
It sounds like you already know what you want to do: move back to your apartment in New York. You just have to figure out how you can do it without running out of money and hurting your boyfriend's feelings — two very different challenges, but both surmountable. You have more agency than you seem to think you do. Sure, the coronavirus laid waste to all our plans, but that doesn't mean you should throw in the towel on making new ones.
I know that a small voice in the back of your mind — in addition to an actual voice, coming from your boyfriend — is saying you should take this opportunity to ditch your apartment and save as much money as possible because the economy's in the toilet and no one knows when it will improve. And that's valid. But you have to separate your financial quandary from your relationship quandary, which is — I think — that you aren't quite ready to move in with your boyfriend (or live with his parents for an undetermined amount of time). And that's totally fine! You haven't been together for that long, even though 2019 may seem like eons ago. The pandemic has obviously accelerated the relationship, but moving back into your own place isn't a step backward. It's more like a step toward restoring some healthy boundaries.
When I asked Megan McCoy, a family therapist and professor of personal financial planning at Kansas State University, what she would recommend for you, she brought up the difference between "sliding" into cohabitation and "deciding" on it. "When you 'slide' into cohabitation, it's because you're reacting to life events, finances, and other outside factors that eventually just make it easier to live together, almost incidentally," she says. "When you 'decide' to cohabitate, you're making an active step towards commitment, and it's more deliberate and intentional."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, research on these two types of couples showed that the "deciders" were more likely to stay together in the long-term than the "sliders." The takeaway, says McCoy, is that if and when you do choose to move in with your boyfriend (ideally, you know, without his parents), you should try to not let money sway your decision.
Which is all well and good, in theory, but most people don't have the luxury to make decisions about their relationships without considering their financial implications, especially right now. And nothing happens in a vacuum. (A major factor in my own decision to move in with my now-husband is that my apartment got bedbugs and I needed a new place to live. I wouldn't call it "sliding" or "deciding" — it was more like a crash landing. But ten years later, here we are.) Anyway, my point is that you should be open with your boyfriend about your thinking — ultimately it's your decision where you want to live, but this moment is an opportunity for you to talk about what's good for both of you, too, financially and otherwise, and see how the communication goes.
Instigating these conversations will be tricky — and you might feel uncomfortable being assertive after depending on your boyfriend and his family's support for these past few months — but the fact that you don't want to seem ungrateful is a good instinct, says Debra Roberts, a couples therapist and author of The Relationship Protocol. "Start with expressing the gratitude that you genuinely feel for the generosity and kindness that he and his parents have shown you," she says. "Make sure he knows that it's heartfelt and appreciated on every level." (And tell his parents, too. They probably won't think you're jumping ship just because you're not getting a free ride anymore, but it won't hurt to make that very clear.)
Roberts also recommends emphasizing that keeping your apartment isn't a negative reflection on the relationship, or a black-and-white decision. "It's not that you're doing it to escape him, or his parents, or trying to get out of paying $400 a month to stay at their house," she says. "It's about the fact that you like your apartment and you want to continue living there as you look for a new job." And honestly, I think anyone would understand that you need some space to yourself after all these months, even if it costs more than the alternative.
Also, I do want to point out that moving can be expensive, and renewing your lease could ultimately save you money if you factor in the costs of moving out, storing your stuff, and then getting a new place eventually. (You don't need to make this argument to your boyfriend, but it's worth thinking about.)
Speaking of finances — you do need a plan, and renewing your lease does carry some risk. It's smart that you've saved, and you'll need to stretch those dollars as far as you possibly can, especially since your unemployment checks will get a lot smaller when part of the CARES Act expires at the end of this month. Do the math and draw up a spending strategy (here are some helpful tools for doing so). Remember that it's temporary; you'll be less tempted to buy stuff if you remind yourself that this is just for now, until you find a job again. If you need extra help with budgeting, some financial advisers in the XY Planning Network are offering their services for free to people who are suffering from COVID-19-related loss of income.
Meanwhile, I know it's discouraging to look for work at the moment, but you should start anyway, and cast a wide net. "A lot of people are feeling financial stress and anxiety right now, which can make us feel stuck and helpless," says McCoy. "The best way out of that mindset is to remember that you have options." Make lists of them, talk about them with your boyfriend, remind yourself of them every day. Most of them won't be great, but at least they exist. And if the past few months have taught us anything, it's that we're capable of adapting to things we never could have imagined.

Flor De Cana 18 Year Rum
$ 58.99
"This nut-brown rum is scented with sweet vanilla and baking spices, though it shows a hit of booziness on the nose. Soft feel, bitter chocolate, toffee and tropical fruit notes, with a long caramel finish. A fine choice for sipping, but with its pastry-like profile, consider soaking some into a rum cake." 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast

It is now 12 months since the Independent Inquiry into the issues raised by the convicted breast surgeon, Ian Paterson, published its report. The report made for difficult reading and describes the terrible harms that can occur when the malpractice of an individual, rogue surgeon goes unchecked.
In my statement to Parliament on 28 April 2020 I reluctantly announced a delay in our work to respond to the report. The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to exert unprecedented pressures on the health system, and this has necessitated a pragmatic response to the recommendations of the Paterson Inquiry.
The independent sector has stepped up and supplied much needed additional capacity for the NHS in its treatment of NHS patients during the response to the pandemic.
We have taken stock of all the recommendations and engaged with stakeholders across the system to gather views on the best way forwards. As part of this we have listened carefully to former patients of Ian Paterson through regular conversations with representatives of the three main patient groups and a bespoke event to ensure their voices are heard.
The immediate safety of patients has been our top priority and we have sought and received reassurance that the recalls of patients by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Spire Healthcare have proceeded as quickly as possible.
When the recommendations have provided a clear way forward, we have worked with our system partners to put in place, or require, effective action. We will continue to consider all the recommendations and produce a full response to the inquiry's 15 recommendations during 2021.
Today I am able to update the House on the Government's initial response to the following five recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into the Issues raised by Paterson, and update on three other developments.
Recommendation 2 - Information to Patients: We recommend that it should be standard practice that consultants in both the NHS and the independent sector should write to patients, outlining their condition and treatment, in simple language, and copy this letter to the patient's GP, rather than writing to the GP and sending a copy to the patient.
NHS England and NHS Improvement will examine how current guidance published by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) in 2018 on writing outpatient clinical letters addressed to patients (and copied to their GP) using simple, appropriate language can be incorporated into the requirements of the NHS standard contract.
Recommendation 4 – Consent: We recommend that there should be a short period introduced into the process of patients giving consent for surgical procedures, to allow them time to reflect on their diagnosis and treatment options. We recommend that the GMC monitors this as part of 'Good Medical Practice'.
The General Medical Council (GMC) published its revised good practice guidance on consent on 30 September 2020. This came into effect on 9 November 2020 and sets out seven principles of decision making and consent, including giving patients the information they need to make a decision and the time and support they need to understand it. The GMC will work with organisations across the UK's health services to support doctors to embed this into their everyday practice.
Recommendation 5 - Multidisciplinary Team (MDT): We recommend that CQC, as a matter of urgency, should assure itself that all hospital providers are complying effectively with up-to-date national guidance on MDT meetings, including in breast cancer care, and that patients are not at risk of harm due to non-compliance in this area.
Specific questions relating to MDT are already included in appropriate CQC service frameworks. As part of a longer-term strategy (based upon a short- and medium-term action plan that includes this recommendation) the CQC will work to ensure these become mandatory elements of its assessment and inspection approaches and communicate its expectations to service providers.
Recommendation 7 – Patient Recall and Ongoing Care: We recommend that the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust board should check that all patients of Paterson have been recalled, and to communicate with any who have not been seen.
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) contacted 4,394 patients between May and August 2020. This has given rise to 355 enquiries. Following receipt of each enquiry, the patient /relative was contacted directly by a member of a dedicated team to ensure that the Trust was responding in a way that was respectful and responsive to individual patient preferences. For patients who underwent a breast procedure, care was reviewed by a Consultant Breast Surgeon who was independent from the Trust. For patients who had a general procedure e.g. hernia repair or a varicose veins/other vascular procedure, care was reviewed by a consultant from UHB.
Recommendation 8 – Patient Recall and Ongoing Care: We recommend that Spire should check that all patients of Paterson have been recalled, and to communicate with any who have not been seen, and that they should check that they have been given an ongoing treatment plan in the same way that has been provided for patients in the NHS.
By December 2020 Spire Healthcare had contacted all known living patients of Ian Paterson for whom they had addresses (approximately 5,500). Spire Healthcare is currently ensuring that those patients' care has been fully reviewed, that the outcome of the reviews has been fully communicated to them and that, if required, they are getting the support and care that they needed. Additionally, several hundred people have contacted Spire as a result of the letters sent out last year. A proportion of these are having their care reviewed by an independent consultant surgeon and some have been referred for counselling, follow up support or, where clinically appropriate, treatment. Spire Healthcare will continue their review of patients' care during 2021.
In addition, we are taking three legislative actions to drive up patient safety and ensure care provided by the independent sector is closely scrutinised.
- First, prior to the publication of the recommendations of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review the Government acted in June last year to amend the then Medicines and Medical Devices Bill to create the power to establish a UK-wide medical device information system. This system will mean that in future, subject to regulations, we can routinely collect medical device, procedure and outcome data from both NHS and private provider organisations across the UK, ensuring that no patient in the UK falls through the gaps. The Government is also considering how best to supply patients with the details of any device that has been implanted, to ensure they can continue to access that information in the future.
- Secondly, following the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review the Government is establishing a Patient Safety Commissioner (PSC) for England with responsibility for medicines and medical devices. The main duties and powers of the PSC are detailed in the Medicines and Medical Devices Act which achieved Royal Assent on 11 February 2021 and establishes the Commissioner role. The PSC for England will be able to exercise their powers in both the independent sector and the NHS.
- Thirdly the White Paper, published in February 2021 setting out legislative proposals for the Health and Care Bill, announced our intention to extend the remit of the Health Service Safety Investigation Branch to private providers.
The report of the Paterson Inquiry shone a light on a set of harrowing events over many years and recommended a way forward to improve safety and quality in both the NHS and the independent sector. I believe it is right that we have taken urgent action where we can, and we will respond in full to the inquiry during 2021.

Sunday Best Producer
When I was in the fifth grade, after years of rhythm blocks, symphonettes, and auto-harps, something happened that finally got my musical attention. Our music teacher played, on a tinny portable record player, spinning at 78 R.P.M., the complete "Peter and the Wolf."
Her goal for the day, I realize now, was simply to introduce us to the sounds made by the different instruments in the orchestra. You know, the usual "these are the strings, this is a clarinet, here is an oboe" etc. After all of these years, I don't remember the narrator or the orchestra. But I still remember the feeling I got from the hearing the theme for the real hero of the piece, the wolf.
I didn't care much for Peter, nor did was I much interested in the cat, or the bird, or the silly duck. But the wolf — now there was a part to be savored. I can hear the wolf theme now — powerful, smooth, untamed, intense. I wanted to become that wolf.
I went on to play the French Horn in various bands and orchestras (and occasionally I got to be the wolf) throughout junior high, high school, and college. And I bought classical records (and now CDs), and went to concerts, and supported classical music radio stations wherever I went.
And I still credit that fifth-grade experience, in the multil-purpose room of Washington Grade School, in Alva, Oklahoma, with beginning my love of classical music.
Thank you, Miss Branson, for having the wisdom to introduce me to the wolf and the richness of all classical music!
