Speaker: H.E. Erlan Idrissov, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to the UK
A briefing on Kazakhstan from H.E. Erlan Idrissov, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to the UK since February 2017. Prior to this appointment, Ambassador Idrissov was Minister of Foreign Affairs. From 2007-2012 he was Ambassador to the USA, and first served as Ambassador to the UK from 2002-2007.
He is therefore supremely well qualified to brief us on the business opportunities in this fast growing, emerging market at the heart of Central Asia, just as the Expo in Astana opens and puts Kazakhstan in the world spotlight. The Ambassador is keen to meet companies in priority sectors such as financial and professional services (the Expo site's legacy will be as the HQ of the Kazakhstan Financial Services Centre), education & training, agribusiness, infrastructure (especially PPP projects) and oil & gas downstream industries.

text: The American debut of a long-running series (a dozen titles) starring Aussie p.i. Cliff Hardy, a 40-ish tough-honed six-footer with an eye for the ladies. The one in sight here is widow Felicia Todd, whose late husband Barnes left a note asking Cliff to look into his murder--if it happened. The last word on the Barnes's lips before his fatal car ``accident'' was ``O'Fear''--partial name of a jailed reprobate whom Cliff consults, leading to an attempt on the con's life. What's up? Both O'Fearna and Mulholland at Barnes's trucking enterprise recount Barnes-in-Korea suspect activities and a possible vendetta mounted by an American captain over a Malaya campaign. Meanwhile: Stanley Riley, Barnes's trucking business competitor, is trying to strongarm Mulholland; Athena Security vans are tailing Felicia and Cliff; and Eleni Marinos, head of Athena, may have been having an affair with Barnes, of which Felicia (now sleeping with Cliff) was well aware. Moreover, the question arises as to what was in the bags Barnes left at his beach house. Frame- ups, set-ups, two more deaths, and a deft bit of scheming and forgery by Barnes's lawyer occur before Cliff realizes he has been a pawn in a master plan, and the widow and the lawyer thank him nicely and leave. So-so, with odd quirks of syntax and less rush-of-adrenalin heroics than in recent Aussie imports, such as those from Charles West.

Just found out my debit card had been used yesterday to withdraw money from an ATM in texas.
I haven't been in texas for over a week and I still have my bank card.
I suspect that the owner or trusted employee of an independent truck stop may have used a device to extract my card and pin numbers from their point of sale terminalor ATM.
I can't prove anything yet, but that seems to be the most likely case.

Just call your bank. If you didn't authorize the transaction you have nothing to worry about. Your bank will reimburse you and go after who ever made the withdrawOldeSkool, drvrtech77, Aamcotrans and 2 others Thank this.
Never use any of those small ATM machines anywhere. Never use your PIN for any credit transactions. Use it like it's a credit card.Dino soar, LondRanger, drvrtech77 and 3 others Thank this.
It's been taken care of, but I'm not the first and probably not the last person that this person or persons have ripped off.

In white county you do not use cards at gas stations. Cash only. They will capture the information and then do a soft test transaction to see if it's good.
The biggest challenge was a walmart cashier attempting to buy a thousand dollars in heavy tools from Michigan, he lacked the complete home address of our cardholder so Michigan contacted that person and understood it's fraud and the bank was already there killed everything and new numbers in 10 minutes and then fire back at the cashier.
My bank is just a warrior. I do have a very special card tied to a account that is 10 cents to zero sitting still. I put cash into it, it is going out on card.
The account is further protected by Credit Laws when I use it as a credit. And also the bank knows the account will absolutely and flat zero if anyone tried to charge say 500 dollars on a stolen number against that .10 cents. It's automatic text to me, turn over everything in 10 minutes and back up with new cards new numbers. And the source of the illegal crime is in danger of being caught.
Here in Arkansas Embezzlers are put into jail as a regular part of trying to fool as cashiers. They just cannot get away with it.
To this day I have NEVER used a stand alone atm machine common in gas stations, convience stores etc. Never used the card at the pump outside. Never etc etc etc.
One time in pre internet, pre cell days in 1991 I took sick above Knoxville at the Mcdonalds there with a big rig. I went missing for 40 hours as I fought the illness fever in the bunk My family was contacted by dispatch and they contacted bank and (No qualcomm) and the bank traced and found me on video pulling 10 dollars for a meal the video made it clear I did not look good so the switched the the Lawman there and I was in the hosptial for half a night while IV medicines eradicated the threat.
They sent me home a week to rest up. Might as well.

I was skimmed, that is the term used, at a gas pump in a small town near Livingston TX. About a week later fraud prevention asked me if I had made 3 purchases of gasoline for $99 each in about 3 hours in Houston TX. I was in Indiana at the time. They rolled the charges back to the gas station who allow the use of cloned cards, because he didn't require a zip code.
The chip is supposed to stop that nonsense, but don't bet on it.Dino soar, drvrtech77, Rounded_nut and 2 others Thank this.
I learned a long time ago to use my debit card as credit instead of debit whenever possible. I also examine any ATM for potential skimming devices. There are some YouTube videos about what to look for. Also, I only ever use an ATM machine at a bank or credit Union. Lastly, I have a GREAT bank (USAA) when it comes to unusual transactions. Even though it has caused me problems at times when I tried to use the card for a legitimate transaction and it was declined. Quick call to my bank, unless they call me first, clears such things up. Worth the effort in my opinion. I don't think avoiding independent truck stops affects your chances of potential card malfeasance. And, in this day and age of credit breaches, may not matter what you do and you can still end up a victim of credit card or debit card theft. Only alternative would be to ONLY use cash for everything. I think being on the road, as most truckers are, using only cash and not even possessing a debit or credit card is virtually impossible.Dino soar, Rounded_nut and Studebaker Hawk Thank this.

I quit using my debit cads throughout the country for fear of fraud.
I now use 2 credit cards one with a minimal line of credit the other a bit more for larger purchases in case one of them gets swiped.
If I make a big purchase on one I just pay it down with my online or over the phone payment option.
Keeps my bank cards out of circulation.
I just carry a big fat wad of cash around.skellr, Studebaker Hawk, Suspect Zero and 1 other person Thank this.

text: There are many different goals for those going on the Horn Island trip. For me, the most important thing was to have an opportunity to work directly from the landscape and I wanted to maintain the working momentum that I had going into the trip. Since last fall I have been working a lot and have been encouraged with what I have done. I didn't want to reduce the scale of what I was doing so I determined that I would bring 22x30" sheets out to the island. This was a pain. Getting paper that size out there and back through the open boat rides and keeping it dry in the rain was an accomplishment. Heck, just keeping the wind from creasing it or ripping it up when I was working wasn't easy. I had a cardboard box in which watercolor paper was shipped to me and so I coated it with several layers of acrylic medium. This sealed the surface and allowed me to keep the paper flat. The box also served as a good drawing board as you can see in the photos below. The photos were taken by James Carey, an MCA alum and another Horn Island veteran. The drawing that I was working on in the photos was the most complete of those that I started on the island. I only had to touch up a few things in the studio. A picture of the finished drawing on my studio wall is at the bottom of this blog entry.

Selkirk's long-awaited £31.4m flood protection scheme was officially opened this week after eight years of work to safeguard the town from the Ettrick Water.
Scottish Government environment minister Roseanna Cunningham and Scottish Borders Council leader David Parker declared the new flood defences to be complete on Monday at the town's Bannerfield Plaza, next to the new Bridge Street footpath.
They were joined by primary school pupils from across Selkirk, and they opened proceedings with a rendition of the 1929 Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown song Singin' in the Rain.
The youngsters later buried a time capsule at the site.
The £31.4m scheme, made up of just over two miles of walls and embankments from the Ettrick Water and Yarrow Water's confluence up to the Oregon timber plant at Dunsdale Haugh, was launched in March 2014 after six years of planning and design work, to protect 600 properties, with construction commencing in January 2015.
Ms Cunningham said: "Flooding can have devastating consequences for individuals, businesses and communities, and that is why we are working with partners and investing in schemes to protect against flooding.
"The opening of this new scheme is good news for Selkirk and will provide lasting protection for around 600 properties against the sort of flooding that has affected this area.
"We are committed to reducing flood risk across Scotland. We will continue to make available £42m a year to fund important new projects to protect communities most at risk from flooding."
More than 150 people worked on the scheme at its peak, with around half being Borderers overseen by Glasgow-based contractor RJ McLeod.
Mr Parker told the crowd: "It is a real pleasure and honour to be here along with the minister Roseanna Cunningham to open the long-awaited flood protection scheme.
"Just to give you an idea of how important the scheme is, on Saturday, it stopped the Long Philip Burn from flooding.
"This is a momentous day for Selkirk.
"Around 600 homes and businesses now have protection from major flood events, thanks to the Selkirk flood protection scheme, the largest project of its kind ever delivered by Scottish Borders Council.
"We must thank the Scottish Government for its support of this project, which we believe will encourage business growth and employment, as well as providing protection to people's homes from major flood events.
"The council will continue to take forward the Hawick flood protection scheme with the aim of providing similar protection to its residents and businesses."
Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk MP Calum Kerr was also among those present, and he told the Southern: "There's been a fantastic turnout here today.
"These projects cost a huge amount of money, and the difference they make to a town is massive.
"As we heard, just this weekend we know parts of Selkirk would have flooded, and we know that would have caused massive damage.
Selkirkshire councillor Gordon Edgar, the council's executive member for roads and infrastructure, added: "Selkirk's history is entwined with the rivers, burns and waters which surround it.
"They have provided the town with work through the mills but also created havoc, from the flood of 1977, which brought down the Auld Stane Brig, to the floods of 2003 and 2004, which devastated Bannerfield and Philiphaugh in particular.
"All flood schemes take a long time to plan, design and then build, but I am delighted Selkirk now has a completed scheme which will protect homes and make it easier for businesses in the riverside area to secure flood insurance.
"We hope this will lead to the regeneration of the area and encourage the creation of jobs."
"It's fantastic to see it all finished, and now we hope to see something like this soon for Hawick."
Also in attendance was MSP for Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire John Lamont who told us: "Residents in an around Selkirk have been very patient over the past few years and will all be extremely pleased with the new scheme. Flooding can have devastating consequences and this extra protection for the town is very much something to be welcomed.
"Lots of people turned up to the opening, which shows the level of enthusiasm for the project. I was also very impressed by the musical performance of some of the children of Selkirk at the start of proceedings.
"The focus for the Scottish Government and the Council must now turn to Hawick's scheme, which will provide protection for considerably more properties and therefore needs to be prioritised. I hope the SNP will reflect on the enthusiasm for this investment in Selkirk and set out a clear timetable for the delivery of Hawick's scheme."
A public art exhibition was also held to coincide with the opening as part of the scheme's community benefit programme.
Some 13 proposals were put on display at Philiphaugh Community Centre on Monday and Tuesday by 11 artists competing to secure commissions for installations at spots close to the riverside and Long Philip Burn footpath network.
Videos about some of the proposed artworks can be viewed at www.facebook.com/TheSouthernReporter.

Should you invest in standing desks?
Studies in America have found that standing up at your desk can increase your brain activity.
The International Journal of Environmental and Public Health recently published the results of Texas A&M's School of Public Health study "Standing Up for Learning: A Pilot Investigation on the Neurocognitive Benefits of Stand-Biased School Desks".
When discussing this report, Jason McCann, CEO of VARIDESK, told Officing Today; "We've all heard the phrase "thinking on your feet," and Texas A&M just proved it's true. Their study found that students using standing desks showed an increase in brain activity in the pre-frontal cortex. That means that both their problem-solving skills and working memory improved. It's pretty amazing!"

Face it, Kentuckians want Bevin's pension plan, despite what it will cost them as public servants flee
Like many of my fellow Kentucky citizens, I've spent the past several days trying to wrap my mind around Gov. Matt Bevin's proposal to fix the state's ailing pension system. Overall, I think it is a good if imperfect plan. I would vote for it were I in the legislature, and I will encourage both my local elected legislators to do just that.
There are some draconian elements (the pay cuts for our teachers), but it would be smarter to devote part of a 2018 legislative campaign to pay increases for educators than to engage Bevin in a public and ultimately failing effort to change his proposal.
If we are honest with ourselves, we have to acknowledge that this is the plan most Kentucky voters want.
The problems with the pension system exist because Kentuckians demanded services they didn't want to pay for, so politicians first underfunded and then later raided the pension system to keep their jobs. If we wanted politicians who would raise taxes to pay our debts we would have them; so instead, we get a plan that asks public servants of today to pay for our sins of yesterday. Don't blame the legislators who will vote for the bill in November if you don't like it. Blame the voters who are going to re-elect them in 2018.
But it is important to note that Bevin's plan won't be without consequences. As a professor, I have seen half a generation of great Kentucky students enter college with the hearts of public servants, only to burn out because of education and social welfare systems that are underfunded by Republicans and over-regulated by Democrats. The ones who have stayed the course have done so in part because they were promised rewards tomorrow for their under-appreciated efforts today. This bill ends that promise, whatever the rhetoric says.
Starting now, the college graduates that Kentuckians would want to serve them will either find a private-sector job with real pay and benefits, or they will serve in states willing to pay what they are worth. And the ranks of our teachers and social workers will be populated by those who lack the ambition to do any better than Kentucky voters have to offer.
Think I am wrong? Buy a cup of coffee for a current public school teacher and ask them what they think.
Shawn Williams is the lead professor of political science and director of the Kentucky Heartland Institute of Public Policy at Campbellsville University.

Design is instrumental to the Hostile Realms™ concept and in order to establish a brand style to the characters, tech and ships we first spent time at the sketchpad in order to design some of the main aspects of the universe. Woody Stables, our very talented artist worked long and hard trying to created technology that was based 100 years from now, but gave us a unique style to build upon.
This illustrative style of raw concept sketches and finished art is included in everything we do – from our website to our kit packaging. Part of what we also did to support this, was to create an animated video based on the concept art so do look at our YouTube video.
We evolved some of the aspects into more detailed element – the ships, the crew and the aliens. And thus, the models kit are born.

Why Solvalla Swimrun?
of the Solvalla Swimrun participants are satisfied with the race and strongly recommend Solvalla Swimrun to their friends!
"A big thank you to your team for organizing such a great well planned and executed event and the friendly hosting. A hug on the finish line is more than a tired swim runner could ask for 🙂 and it made all the difference."
"The nature and the path you had chosen for the race were excellent. The switch from the swim and the run parts and the intervals were designed well and balanced. The trace over the path, the buoy in and at the exit of the swimming stations were clear and visible. It was impossible to get lost."
Participants in the ÖtillÖ Merit Race 2016
"We truly loved your race! Extremely well organised and friendly atmosphere. We appreciated the reactivity of the correspondence with you before the race and that you were there to greet us when we finished. The race was tough but fun, beautiful and well marked and the swimming parts were magical!!! The lakeside sauna session and the buffet after the race were gold. We almost did not want to leave! We give you 5 of 5 stars!"
Participants in the ÖtillÖ Merit Race 2017
"Great trails, atmosphere and race organisation :)"
Solvalla Swimrun participant 2016

How to Entertain Yourself for Thirteen Hours (While On a Train)
- Take some pictures! You have views of nature and the city right outside the window. If you didn't get a window seat, you're just out of luck. There are only so many pictures you can take of the guy who did get the window seat before it gets repetitive and creepy. Same with nature. Most trees start to look the same after, say, the first one.
- Mix whatever drink you have with alcohol. I chose tea and bourbon. The sugar in the tea softens the bite of the bourbon. Once you've done that, chug it. Trust me, there's a lot of research that went into this. Should get you at least two hours of sleep.
- Maybe read a book, if you're into that sort of thing.
- Come up with a five-year life plan. This'll make you feel really productive.
- Get on The Internet. Fail-proof, every time.
Thirteen hours is a long time, mind you. There was some conversation between myself, Adrian, and Foster, but once I realized that my list really only covered about seven hours, I spent the rest of my spare time editing photos and watching videos on street photography. Which actually leads me to the final step:
6. Go back to step 5 and just stay there 'til you get to wherever you're going.

Frequency of The Week ~ VICTORY!
FCGCT Commentary: We are moving from desires, to passions of the Heart. Feel, Focus and Trust the Heart.
Frequency of The Week ~ VICTORY!
By Janosh
VICTORY – How often did you tell yourself: I was almost there. You had the answers, the puzzle was complete and all of your hopes and desires were tuned into that one important moment. Everything was right, until the moment of truth itself. You had to take charge, but you didn't. Something was holding you back to finish it, to seal the deal, but at the most crucial moment you saw yourself fail. We all recognise it, but what distinguishes us is the way we handle it.
Please realise that winning and losing are two sides of the same coin and you determine which side you are focusing on. It takes perseverance to achieve something, but at least as much courage to get back on your feet again after a setback. So please realise that no one fails as long as he learns the lesson from his experience. Be proud of yourself and feel your strength! Be proud of the fact that you have tried it and convince yourself that the next time you will succeed.

First Look: Nioh's Beta Demo
Nioh, the upcoming game from Team Ninja (creators of the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series), offers hardcore samurai fighting in a dark-fantasy version of 17th-century Japan. The game recently entered beta on PS4, and we spent some time getting the hang of its mechanics, as well as its wonderfully twisted and convoluted maps.
The red glowing "fires" scattered throughout the level are spots where other players have died - each offering the chance to summon and fight that player's avatar - and the spectral wolf marks the spot where your own character previously died, which, when claimed, restores all lost Amrita, which is essentially a "soul currency" similar to that in Dark Souls or Onimusha.Read More

Infected Gaze: The Afterlife of The Witness
I've been wanting to write about The Witness for several months now, but kept getting hung up on how to address the elephant in the room (or in this case, on the island): namely, how difficult the game is, both in the classic hard-to-solve sense and in how much it asks of players conceptually. There's no question the game's hundreds of puzzles are exceedingly difficult, and require an iron stoicism to complete without rage-Googling. But the second layer of difficulty runs deeper, and is more open to debate: assuming one plays the game "right", i.e. avoids any and all online discussions of the game (and only requires assistance from one's spouse or partner on—I don't know, let's say 10-20% of the puzzles), and somehow, through perseverance, luck, page after page of maniacal scribbling, and the aforementioned pre-internet Genuine Human Interaction factor, manages to complete the game—is it worth it?Read More

Vanilla Cupcakes/
I adapted the "Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Frosting" recipe from Beachbody's FIXATE cooking show for these scrumptious cupcakes! The only thing that's really different about them is the shape and cooking time, so shoutout to Autumn & Bobby Calabrese for coming up with a dynamite recipe that helped me celebrate my birthday with a yummy treat, while sticking to my Ultimate Portion Fix eating plan. Win-win. This frosting is so divine, I will 100% make it for all of my future desserts. My biggest tip is to REALLY let your butter come to room temperature (like, for an hour) before you start baking!Read More

or call 610-518-SKIN
*Photo Rejuvenation is a series of intense pulsed light treatments that improve the overall complexion of your skin. Photo Rejuvenation specifically targets rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. Treatments can also benefit mild acne scars, reduce large pores, and reduces fine wrinkle lines. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs. This exciting treatment involves little or no "down time". You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
An intense light is applied in a series of light pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the upper layer of the skin, the light reaches the deeper layers to correct problem areas at their source. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off and the body absorbs it.
Why should you choose Dr. Gambhir?
Dr. Gambhirs have performed thousands of cosmetic medical procedures. They have been in practice since 2005 and have received accolades from the cosmetic industry and patients alike. They have consistently been one of the top practices in the United States and in the Philadelphia area. All procedures are done in a comfortable yet professional environment with full respect to your privacy and your desires. We aim to please and look forward to seeing you!
How many treatments will I need?
A treatment plan will be made during a consult.
What is a treatment like?
Treatment time may vary depending on the size of the area to be treated. First, the treated area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. When the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to the snap of a rubber band. After treatment, the gel is removed, the skin cleansed, and a sunscreen is applied. Topical anesthesia can be used for maximum comfort. For sensitive skin, a cool compress is applied following treatment.
Are there any possible side effects?
Serious side effects are rare. Immediately following treatment the skin will appear red and brown pigmented spots may appear darker. Rarely, temporary swelling, blistering or bruising can occur.
What improvement will I see?
Patients have a high degree of satisfaction with their results. Expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, broken capillaries, flushing, irregular pigmentation, pore size and fine lines. After each treatment, the skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
Who should NOT have the procedure?
Skin rejuvenation is not advisable for patients with various skin diseases. It is not advisable for pregnant women, nor is it safe for those who may have received or plan to receive excess sun exposure. It should not be performed on patients taking Accutane or for three months after stopping Accutane. The procedure is not usually performed on patients with active acne cysts, large pustules, or highly active rosacea, or active herpes (fever blisters).
What are the skin conditions not likely to be helped by a Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation?
It will not improve the appearance of frown lines, which are the lines of expression on the face, especially on the forehead and between the brows. It will not help baggy or sagging skin, puffiness around the eyes, or skin cancer.
Is the procedure painful?
There is some amount of discomfort. It is our experience that a topical anesthetic is not necessary in the majority of patients.
Where are we located?
We have offices in King of Prussia and Exton Pennsylvania. We serve the greater Philadelphia area, but we draw patients from New York to Maryland to Harrisburg.

Based at the University Hospitals of Leicester, we serve the educational needs of healthcare practitioners in Acute & Emergency Medicine across the East Midlands, UK
Cancers as a group of conditions are the most common cause of death in the UK, overtaking heart disease in 2011.
Most causes of death relate to the natural disease progression of the malignancy. However a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality statistics arise from emergency complications (some of which are reversible) of the malignancy or of treatment of the malignancy.
Deaths from neutropenic sepsis for example have doubled since 2001, a malignant pericardial effusion remains the most common cause of cardiac tamponade.
Knowing how to manage and assess patients presenting with oncological emergencies can prevent mortality and morbidity in an already high risk patient group.
Over two million units of blood are transfused in the UK per year. While blood is transfused routinely within the NHS, it is not without risks. Some risks are potentially extremely dangerous and could even be life threatening (Burett 2006).
Worldwide, 1 in 100,000 transfusions performed result in the death of the patient secondary to a haemolytic crisis.
Due to the potential risks of transfusion, it is essential to review local protocols and be aware of the safety netting procedures. It is also important to know red flag symptoms and when to stop a blood transfusion.
Recognise and know how to assess oncological emergencies within the Emergency Department
Propose a management plan for common oncological emergencies
Prescribe blood and blood products and know the common complications and emergencies that arise from a blood transfusion
Discuss the physiology behind calcium regulation, and propose a management plan for the abnormalities of calcium homeostasis
Complete the following before the face-to-face session:
Duration: 35 mins
This clinical guideline (published June 2012) offers evidence-based advice on the management of acute painful sickle cell episodes in hospital.
Duration: 25 mins
These videos, produced by the Royal Berkshire and Dundee NHS trusts respectively, are relatively short but provide a good insight into the common oncological emergencies. Click on the screenshots below. The last 2 videos are from youtube and may not open on UHL trust computers but will on any other device.
Duration: 7 mins
An interesting case from Canada, not only does it have an oncological relevance but it is also important to recognise that here is a doctor openly sharing something he admits was a mistake and reflecting on how he went into the consultation with a bias. The main podcasts require a free subscription, but the shorter "best case ever" series do not. You may have already found these podcasts through the additional resources on earlier modules, if not some of the others are worth checking out too.
Duration: 40 mins
Excessive calcium can be a potentially life threatening complication of some malignancies and can also be an initial presentation of some malignant conditions. This module is a good clinically based learning resource to help you work through this potentially confusing condition.
Duration: 60 mins
This is a mandatory eLearning module on transfusion, it is also very useful for familiarising yourself with local transfusion protocols and policies.
We have written a series of interactive cases (wikis) with short answer questions to be answered by trainees prior to the face to face teaching sessions. Currently this is only available to East Midlands Trainees.
Answer one or two questions before attending the face-to-face teaching session. Add comments to answers already given if you think it's appropriate. We will also provide tutor comments. If you find good resources that answer a question why not include links in your comment.
Part of the face-to-face teaching will be spent discussing the case(s) below:
Here are some extra resources to review if you want more information:
This link is to the haematology section which covers:
Iron metabolism
Types of WBC
The Clotting Cascade
Hypersensitivity Reactions
An article from the annals of oncology (2004), it is a bit of heavy reading and hopefully a lot of the tasks will have covered much of the content. However for those of you who like to read articles this is a good summary.
Cancer Associated Thrombosis eLearning module covering: pathophysiology, some of the evidence base behind treatments and some of the challenges in managing these patients.
This BMJ clinical review covers several emergencies:
Hyperviscosity Syndrome
Sickle Cell Crisis
Infection in Patients with Impaired Immunity
It should be available to BMJ members or through Athens via UHL.
Once you have worked through the exercises, discussed the example cases and attended the face-to-face teaching, please complete the following form:

I have been playing around with the idea of making a small work a day for "x" consecutive days and document the process for over a year now. As I have started a new job, my studio time is limited. I was feeling really depressed about it and decided that rather than wallow, I would commit to making the work I so badly missed. Starting small, I am going to make a small work a day for 30 days. Here is Day One. Acrylic on Paper.

We pull the curtain on 2013 with these salutations from the December 31, 1903 edition of The Chatham Record:
Before the echoes of the sad farewells to the old year have died away are heard the joyful greetings to the new year. Today we say farewell to the old year and tomorrow we greet the new year, just as in monarchical countries, at the death of a king, is heard the cry, 'The King is dead,' and then the joyful shout 'Long live the King!'
Today we 'ring out the old' and tomorrow we 'ring in the new.' And thus it is year after year as they chase each other in their too rapid flight. What the new year may have in store for any of us no man can foretell, and it is fortunate for us that the future is veiled from our human ken. We can only wish for our readers that all their brightest hopes may be realized and that 1904 may be the happiest year of their lives. May they so profit by their experiences during the past year as to be enabled the better to enjoy the coming year. To each and all we wish a very Happy New Year!"

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the Dubai's ruler and UAE's prime minister as well as vice president.
Abu Dhabi is a capital of UAE. It's a biggest emirate of UAE.
Arabic is the official language. Otherwise, the most commonly spoken language in Dubai is English.
Dubai is reputed as a safe destination for an enjoyable holiday in the Middle East. All people following law &order and here have crime-free environment.
The local currency of UAE is AED (Arab Emirates Dirhams) that is also simply referred to as Dhs (Dirhams).
It's a depends on your nationality. For instance, visitors from GCC nations including Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar do not require visa. Same like that people traveling from certain countries like Australia, Austria, United States of America, and UK, among others, are eligible for visa on arrival.
Dubai have various money exchange counters dotted across the malls, shopping centers, and banks, it's very easy task to exchange currency in Dubai. And mostly banks and ATMs accept credit cards.
Islamic traditions are followed in Dubai as well as other emirates of the country. That said, Dubai is tolerant to other religions.
Though it is not mandatory for expat women to cover their body, head and hair as Emirati women do, it is vital for them to cover their body from shoulders to at least knees. For men, Dubai's etiquette requires them to dress up well and not to put on anything that is extremely short, such as cycling shorts and boxer shorts, in the public.
Public transport means, managed by the RTA (Roads & Transport Authority), is perhaps the best way to move around in Dubai. These include public buses with inter-emirate services, taxis, and metro rail network comprising red and green lines.
Dubai is usually characterized by hot, humid climate for most part of the year. During summer months, the temperature can go up to 40 to 45 degree Celsius.

When I wrote my first column for the newsletter this year, I remember it was a January morning and I was looking out the window at a slight dusting of snow. The temperature was just above freezing and the world of boating was far from my mind. Today, I am fortunate to be sitting on the back of my boat in the EYC marina enjoying a beautiful sunny July morning. The lake is flat and peaceful and only about five cars in the parking lot. It still amazes me how under-utilized the club can be a times, or maybe it is just the rest period we all need after a very active month of June.
Speaking of June, a special thanks goes to this year's directors of Sail School, June and Mike Chamberlin, as well as all the support staff that made for another successful year. We had 55 students attend—a handful of them were adults. Except for a visit from the local EMTs to treat a bee sting situation, an injured hand of a junior Instructor, and the capsizing of one of the DaySailers (I don't think self-rescue was part of the DaySailer curriculum), it was pretty much smooth sailing.
It seems like a long time ago now but EYC was also home to two regattas in June: the Live on the Edge Multihull Regatta and Triton Yacht Club's annual Emerald Cup, both of which seem to have ran smoothly. I personally know Emerald Cup was fun. Thanks to our own Rich Johnson and his race committee, we got in six races.
Before I knew it, July was here with the annual 4th of July event. Please give Stephanie Lunceford a big hand for chairing this year's event. The day started off with stuff for the kids (face painting, dunk tank, and more), which was followed by the parade. Thanks to the mobile petting zoo wagon supplied by neighbor farmer Larry Bangs for a great float! At 5 o'clock Stephanie put out the burgers and hot dogs, and then we all waited until dusk for the highly anticipated and very fantastic fireworks display. Dave Brown and his crew of pyro technicians (Glen Hughes, John Ward, Rich Johnson, and Rich Aaring) set off the 30 minute show. You can see some really outstanding pictures posted by August Frank of the Register Guard (R-G) on Twitter. August is the same reporter that covered Sail School this year in the R-G. As a reminder, we split the cost of fireworks ($7800) three ways with Lane County and our next door neighbor, Tri-Pass Ski Club with each of us kicking in about a third of the cost. We appreciate having these two organzations as our firework partners. We wouldn't be able to put on such an amazing show without their help.
Another thing some members may not be aware of—and something that use to be a pain for all involved—is the disposal of the many returnable beverage containers that members and guests bring on the grounds. We have now deployed recycling receptacles where you can leave your returnable bottles. Most are near the garbage cans throughout the grounds. Our Club Host Dan Merritt picks up the bottles, sorts them and gives them to his brother who donates the deposit money to a local church that helps the homeless. I still occasional see bottles in the garbage cans, so please take just a little more time and use the "bottle and can" receptacles for items that have a returnable deposit.
Coming up soon is the deadline for 2016-17 work party obligations. July 31 is the official end of the EYC work party year, but this year our last scheduled work party will be Saturday, July 29. You need to contact Marji Clune to let her know you're coming so she can have projects prepared.
This year Amanda Walkup will be hosting the Concert by the Lake event on Sunday, August 6. from 4:00-8:00 pm. The music this year will be provided by The Traceys, a local band that blends a bit of Americana, Country Blues, and Bluegrass. They'll be playing from 5:00-7:00 pm. Remember this is a BYOF, so please bring your blanket or lawn chair and your favorite picnic food. You can find out more information on the band on their Facebook page or catch a sample of their music here.
As mentioned in my last column and as a follow up to the April general meeting, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am calling a special meeting to discuss the wave attenuation project on Saturday, August 19 at 9:00 am. This will be hosted by the Board of Directors and the Wave Attenuation Committee to answer question or concerns and listen to feedback from the general membership. The meeting will last about 2 hours. In preparation for the meeting, I invite you to take a look at the various documents related to the project that will be coming to you soon in a separate email. The protection of the docks affects us all—and will for years to come. I encourage all members to attend.
Best to you all,
Ted Walkup, Commodore

Travels // Palm Cove, Queensland
Our annual winter getaway this year was to the beautiful and totally palm-ilicious Palm Cove in tropical North Queensland. We decided to head as north as we could to get some decent sunshine during the cold Adelaide winter. We'd never been to Palm Cove and after some research (including chatting to the acclaimed Australian travel photographer, Kara Rosenlund, on Instagram!) it seemed like a great choice for a relaxed family holiday.
Palm Cove is a quiet and laid back town by the sea, the pace is slow which is the perfect anti-dote to our busy lives (that's the whole point of a holiday, right?). She might be laid back but gee, Palm Cove is an absolute stunner! The beach is lined with palm trees and the esplanade with paperbark trees...it really puts the 'tropical' in tropical paradise.
GETTING THERE + AROUND // A 3 hour direct flight from Adelaide to Cairns, Palm Cove is then a half hour drive from Cairns. We booked a car online with Thrifty (I'm an RAA member which gets you 15% off) so we had wheels for the week.
STAY // We stayed at the Mantra Amphora on Williams Esplanade. Mantra Amphora is beachfront but our two bedroom apartment was set back within the resort itself. Our apartment was lovely and had all we needed, kitchen, laundry facilities and air con. We hired a cot for $10 per day. The only negative was the fact we were on the third floor and accessible only by stairs...fine for us adults but a bit annoying with a toddler and whilst we are past the pram stage, it's worth pointing out it was definitely not pram friendly. Lola managed to fall down the concrete stairs which gave us a fright. Next time I'd ask for a ground or level one apartment. That said, it was centrally located and everything was a short walk away so super easy to get out and about to Williams Esplanade.
FOOD // 27 Degrees for great coffee, smoothies and ice cream, just set off the esplanade, look for the blue bean bags. Vivo, the restaurant in front of Mantra, had the best pork belly, so good I had it twice. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but the food is worth it. Portofino does great pizzas and cocktails. Try and nab yourself a booth at the front which is great for the kids to lounge and relax in (our kids did colouring in and had screen time while we had a relaxed dinner - which was some kind of miracle!). It gets super busy though so we found the service a little slow. We had lunch at the Rising Sun (opposite the playground), great for people watching and hubby tells me they had a great selection of craft beer. They sell kids activity packs for $2.50. All of the places we ate at had kids menus. Palm Cove is very family friendly.
We ate most of our meals at the apartment which made things more affordable as Palm Cove is not just pretty she's also pricey. Being able to make your own meals helps keep costs down. It was also great being able to eat in our apartment after a full day out or at the pool (because overtired kids do not make for a pleasant dining experience!). Pete's Place, the local corner store, is very expensive. We did a food (and booze) shop at Woolies in Clifton Beach (5 minutes drive from Palm Cove). There's also a Liquorland Express in Palm Cove.
We didn't get to venture to any more restaurants but we were told by a local that the Mexican restaurant on the esplanade is very good and the tavern has a playground for the kids. Nu Nu's looks (and I've been told is) AMAZING. So nice we didn't even bother taking ourselves there because our two year old is a menace! It's the kind of restaurant you want to savior and enjoy as a couple, and has a price tag to match (I looked up the menu online and mains were $45 and upwards). Maybe next time?!
THINGS TO DO IN PALM COVE // There's not a whole heap to do in Palm Cove, which is perfect if you want to just relax (well, as much as you can with kids!). My kids loved the resort pool so we didn't need much more than that to keep them happy and entertained. They would have been happy to swim and play in the pool all day for the whole week. But there's also...fishing off the jetty (our 7 year old loved it, hubby packed his rod from home), the playground on the beachfront is shaded and kept our two well entertained, the esplanade has a great footpath for walks (and scooters if you bring them - we didn't) and of course, beach play and swims. We saw a beautiful pod of dolphins jumping in and out of the water. On Sundays they shut the main street off for the Palm Cove Markets which were surprisingly very good! I always like to bring something home from my travels so this was a real treat for me (not so much for Lola - ha!). Palm Cove also has fireworks on the esplanade on Saturday nights.
Hubby and I had treatments/massages at the Palm Cove Retreat Day Spa which were divine. My body scrub (with a Vichy shower - have you had one? They are the bomb!), facial and massage was lovely - I'd definitely go back. They are located in Mantra but anyone can make a booking.
DAY TRIPS // While there isn't an abundance of things to do in Palm Cove there is a lot to see, with Palm Cove half hour from Cairns and Port Douglas each way, so it's handy having a car to explore. We took the kids to Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, an easy 15 min drive north, for some croc feeding and viewing which was a good 2-3 hour excursion before heading back to the pool.
Fitzroy Island was a full day trip from Cairns. An early start, but it was a great day (the island also has a resort so you can stay here if you wanted to linger a little bit longer). The ferry to the island takes 45 minutes, easily do-able with a toddler. There are a number of ferry/island providers to choose from, we left Cairns at 9am and got back at 5pm. The boys went snorkelling and saw heaps of fish and coral, but the glass bottom boat was disappointing, we didn't see much except for some ordinary looking coral...if you want the colourful stuff you'll have to go to the outer reef. That said, we saw a sea turtle and a whale from afar - yes, a WHALE! This was a definite highlight. Nudey's Beach (where we saw the whale) has been voted Australia's No. 1 beach in 2018, it's about a 10-15 min walk through bush and over some boulders with some steep sections in parts. Perfectly do-able with kids. Lola loved it and didn't complain once. It's a lovely little beach with snorkelling off the shore. Some parts of the island like the toilets and eating area are a bit outdated and dingy but I've been told by a couple of other travellers that Green Island was a huge disappointment and awful in parts so I think we chose the right island.
Port Douglas is about a 30 minute drive north, we went for a drive and some lunch. And I got to check out Ahoy Trader - yay. Lots of lovely Spell and The Gypsy Collective, Jai Vasicek and Bonnie and Neill. Those Jatana Interiors tiles are to die for!
I'm really pleased we chose Palm Cove, a first for us but definitely not a last. An average of 27 degrees in winter, it was perfect weather for swimming, day tripping and relaxing (without the sweaty upper lip!!)...if only we could have stayed longer. We will be back! Till then, stay beautiful Palm Cove.

The Link Between Sleep And Weight
How much sleep we get each night may be affecting our weight. Researches from several different studies have found a link between sleep and the hormones that influence our eating behavior. Two specific hormones are involved, gherlin and leptin. Gherlin is responsible for feelings of hunger. Leptin tells the brain when it's time to stop eating. When you're sleep deprived, gherlin levels increase the same time that your leptin levels decrease. The result is an increased craving for food and not feeling when your full. Sleep deprived people tend to choose different foods to snack on -mainly high calorie sweets, salty and starchy foods. Most adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night. Talk with your doctor if you wake up feeling tired, and you know that you tend to snore at night, your physician may want to refer you for a sleep study.

Dentures from £350.00
A removable plastic or metal plate can be made to replace gaps. Variety of shades are available.
Your dentist will need to take impression of your mouth. Your denture is tailor made, so you have the option of changing the shape, colour or position of the teeth up and until the final stages where the denture is processed by our registered laboratory.
The denture is made to be very hard and durable. If you have had teeth removed and a denture made (immediate dentures) the gums can take up to 6 months to heal. During this time the denture can become loose and may need to be replaced sooner. This may be at an additional cost.
Your dentist will give you advice on how to look after and clean your denture. It is important that you clean them after your meal and around wearing them at night time. This gives the gums and the mouth to rest!
Unless your denture breaks or wears away, they can last for many years.

Hey there, it's me - Hannah!
It's funny the roads that lead us to where we are today…
I was a cross country and track athlete in college and graduated with a degree in dietetics.
I had run my business on the side of athletics and academics over the past 8 years, but hadn't considered taking pictures as a full-time job.
A couple months before graduation God made it clear that He was calling me to pursue photography full-heartedly.
One of my life passions is people. I love that my job involves loving people well: making you clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, stress-free on your wedding days and capturing your story & beauty & life.
When I am not taking pictures, you can find me playing scrabble, doing anything fitness related, petting random dogs, worshipping at Ethos Church, or whipping up a Pinterest recipe.
Thanks for stopping by reading a bit of my story. I look forward to documenting part of yours!
Also, did I mention I love to travel? 2018 brought me to Oregon, Kauai, Jamaica, Glacier National Park, Seattle and Lake Tahoe… can't wait to see what 2019 has in store :)

Malé city councillor Zaidul Ameen has been transferred to house arrest after the criminal court reversed a previous decision to keep him detained for the duration of his trial.
The reasons for the court's order is unclear as it was issued during a closed-door hearing held Monday to hear witness testimony. The next hearing was scheduled for July.
Zaid was put on trial on charges of obstructing administration of law, unlawful acquisition of information, and unlawful disclosure of information. Each of the three counts carry a penalty of four months and 24 days in prison.
Hearings have been closed to the press and members of the public since the trial began in late April.
Local media reported earlier this month that Zaid is accused of attempting to sell a secretly recorded conversation with Supreme Court Justice Ali Hameed Mohamed.
Hameed also chairs the judicial watchdog body.
According to Zaid's lawyer Mahfooz Saeed, the court heard anonymised testimony from two state witnesses during the previous hearing of the trial on May 2.
Zaid was previously transferred to house arrest twice following his arrest in early January on a blackmailing charge.
Shortly before he was taken back from house arrest to police custody in late February, Zaid accused a high-ranking police officer of threatening to keep him detained unless he gave false testimony that could be used as a pretext to arrest former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
Zaid, who represents the mid-Henveiru constituency in the Malé city council, is a staunch Gayoom loyalist. In July last year, he was expelled from the Progressive Party of Maldives amid an acrimonious leadership dispute that split the ruling party into rival factions led by Gayoom and President Abdulla Yameen.
After raiding his apartment and confiscating his laptop and phone, Zaid said the only question the police asked was whether he secretly recorded a conversation with a senior state official, who they said could have been a minister, lawmaker or judge.
The police then asked about a video that they were looking for as well as a hard disk alleged to have gone missing from the PPM's former headquarters.
"The police have been repeatedly asking me in the interrogation to give a statement saying that the hard disk and video are in [Gayoom's] possession and that President Maumoon is planning secret plots against the present government," he alleged.
The police media official declined to respond to the allegations at the time, directing the Maldives Independent to a tweet assuring an internal probe by the professional standards command.
Zaid went on to allege that he was questioned numerous times in the absence of his lawyer by a high-ranking police official, who also asked him to replace his opposition-aligned attorney.
The top officer told him that Gayoom "has no power anymore" and offered to secure a government posting of his choice if he changed his allegiance.
Zaid alleged that the officer stressed the importance of his statement for arresting Gayoom and repeatedly threatened to keep him in jail "like Shumba Gong" if he refuses to cooperate.
Ahmed Ashraf, known as Shumba Gong on social media, has been in police custody since November 2015. The teenager was arrested on suspicion of links to the September 2015 blast on the president's speedboat but was later charged with sending threatening text messages to a senior PPM member.
His trial has stalled since it began in February 2016. The charge of issuing threats carries a maximum jail sentence of one year.
Other key Gayoom supporters have also faced legal action.
Abdul Aleem, the secretary-general of Gayoom's PPM faction, was summoned for questioning by the police last Wednesday over allegations of bribing lawmakers to vote in favour of a no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker 'Reeko' Moosa Manik.
Aleem said he was asked whether he had any knowledge about, managed, stashed or delivered funds intended to be distributed to MPs.
He categorically denied the allegations.
He was also previously placed under investigation, along with Gayoom supporter Ibrahim Afraath, on a charge of bribing lawmakers ahead of the March 27 vote to oust the speaker of the parliament. The police confiscated their phones and raided their home for hidden cash on April 7.
Aleem also paid an MVR85,000 (US$5,500) fine for contempt of court last month.

New Years Update and Charity Knitting for 2017
Happy New Year!
I hope this January finds you all in good health and able to do a lot of knitting! I wanted to give you a quick update on what's been going on here at KnitOasis HQ over the last couple of months as well as announce this year's charity focus.
Thanks to what I'm calling "that wind and rain event" (the rest of you might know it as Hurricane Matthew) we had to move out AGAIN while repairs were made to flood damaged portions of HQ. It wasn't as bad as LAST year, but still. Ugh. Needless to say, we are really hoping we are all finished with natural disasters here for a while!
We have managed to put everything back together again and even as I type this, our favorite handyman is here to touch up a few things that the sheetrock contractors should have fixed but since they were so nightmarishly horrendous we had to send them away early before they could do any more damage (but that's a whole other story--live and learn!). And YES, the county we live in has been addressing the drainage issues that have contributed to our flooding, thanks be to God.
Because of being displaced during the Fall months again, I have now missed the mailing deadline 2 years in a row for the Red Scarf Project. Isn't that horrible? I mean, honestly. After designing patterns for it and promoting it, the least you'd think I could manage is sticking the things in the mail. This just gives me the proper motivation to make the Red Scarf Project my charity focus for 2017, which is where YOU come in!
I would love to be able send a great big box of scarves to Foster Care to Success this Fall and I will need your help to do it!
Here are my goals for this year's charity knitting focus:
- Bring attention to the Red Scarf Project.
- Design a new pattern.
- Find all the scarves that people have given me that should have been mailed already. (!)
- Encourage all my knitting friends (YOU!) to knit at least one scarf for the Project in time to be mailed September 20, 2017.
Here are the patterns already available as free downloads. (For techniques you'll need for Take the Trolley, there are some tutorials here.)
Pictured clockwise from top left: 1) Take the Trolley, 2) Brickworks, 3) Thousand Mile Journey, 4) Altimeter
So how about it? Who's ready to help me knit some red scarves?
