AiRISTA's WiFi RTLS solution based on Active Wi-Fi and RFID technologies can be deployed to provide total patient and personnel visibility in the healthcare environments. The key to increased patient throughput and productivity in various departments in healthcare facilities is to effectively streamline the flow of patients through the continuum of care. Utilizing existing Wi-Fi network infrastructure found in most hospitals, data from patients' RFID enabled tags are collected by readers/sensors. This data may include patient tracking location, moves in departments and departure as well as date and time of medical staff visits within the facilities.
Collected data throughout the patients' journey brings about unprecedented visibility into processes and can be used for reporting and billing or interfacing and feeding to external applications. AiRISTA's intuitive software user interface displays and provides a dynamic and real-time "picture" of the department and the whereabouts of the staff, patients, and equipment.
Patients, medical care personnel, administrative and maintenance staff are all among the beneficiaries of AiRISTA's solutions for the Healthcare. In addition to enhancing the safety and monitoring of the patients, this ability to sense and obtain real-time location information on medical staff, valuable equipment and supplies brings about tremendous financial and operational benefits.
Solution Benefits
- Better manage the patient-flow in various departments (Emergency Room for example).

The resort provides their guests with complimentary services such as on-site and off-site transportation, daily beach towels, arrival rum punch, complimentary gym use and daytime turn down service on request. The off-site transportation they provide saves the expense of renting a car, high cost of gas and the hassle of driving on our island roads!

Had a amazing stay with my family at Point Pleasant. Location is great, unit was very clean and comfortable and all the staff were very welcoming. Would stay again.
Right when you walk in this villa you immediately know you're in paradise. The vaulted ceilings make a cool tropical feel, and the patio overlooking the USVI is just spectacular. The furniture was in great condition, and everything was super clean. We enjoyed the water sports and the staff was so helpful in teaching us how to use things. I would recommend to stay here to all my friends and family, and hope to come back again next year.
The room was absolutely perfect and just what we were looking for. The vaulted ceilings make a great tropical feel, and the furnishings are lovely. Thanks for having shuttle service too since we didn't want to rent a car! If we can come back to St Thomas again I will be staying here.
The staff was more than welcoming and very accommodating as well as exceptionally friendly. The shuttle service was great and very helpful and the drivers were friendly. We had a great time and would recommend Point Pleasant to others.
We were very impressed with the personable friendly service, the maintenance and upkeep of the property and grounds and the services provided. The staff are very impressive and memorable. So impressive that we are interested in buying a unit!
Hoping to return to St Thomas sometime in October or early November.
We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay and our room. 5 Stars!

This is the most basic of all stitch patterns and is achieved by knitting every row. The end result is a flat, reversible, ridged fabric that stands up well to wear and does not roll at the edges.
Here's how to do it: When you get to the end of your first row of knit stitches, transfer the full needle to your left hand and start the process of knitting each stitch all over again. After several rows you'll begin to see the fruits of your labor, and in time your growing strip of garter stitch will start to look like a real piece of knitted fabric.
Cast on any number of stitches. Knit every row. |
Now that you've learned how to knit and purl, you can finally put them together to make stockinette stitch, the V-patterned fabric that people most often associate with knitting. Unlike garter stitch (which appears ridged and does not roll), stockinette stitch has a much smoother appearance and a tendency to curl at the edges. Many designers use this inclination to their advantage, creating everything from rolled necks and cuffs to rolled edges of handbags and scarves.
Cast on any number of stitches. Row 1 (right side) Knit. Row 2 Purl. Repeat rows 1 and 2. |
Alternating entire rows of knit and purl stitches creates the well-known stockinette stitch, but it's also possible to switch back and forth within the same row to produce numerous different patterns. Of all the knit/purl stitch patterns you will learn, ribbing is definitely the most widely used. Because of its stretchiness and ability to "bounce" back into place, ribbing makes up the hems, necks and cuffs of most sweaters. Many sweaters even use ribbing throughout the garment to create a slim, body-hugging effect.
One of the nice things about ribbing (besides its elasticity) is that after the first row or two you can put down the instructions and let the stitches show you what comes next. When the stitch you're about to work looks like a V, knit it. When it looks like a bump, purl it.
The trickiest part about ribbing for beginners is remembering to move the yarn back and forth when working the different stitches. For example, in two-by-two ribbing, you knit two stitches, move the yarn between the two needles to the front of the work and then purl two stitches. When you are ready to knit again, return the yarn to the back of the work by passing it between the two needles, then continue with your pattern. If you don't move the yarn from back to front and front to back between knit and purl stitches, you will end up with extra stitches on your needle and a rectangular piece that quickly begins to resemble a triangle.
When knitting a stitch, the yarn is always held at the back of the work. When purling a stitch, the yarn is always at the front. In ribbing, when you change from a knit to a purl stitch, you must be sure the yarn is in the correct position to work the next stitch. When you are moving the yarn from the back to the front, or vice versa, the yarn should go between the two needles, not over them.

Cast on an odd number of stitches. |
Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2 extra. |
Seed stitch is a textured stitch created by working a sequence of knit and purl stitches, usually alternated on every row. Unlike ribbing, you knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.
Cast on an even number of stitches. |

Tasty breakfasts and excellent steak dinner.
Fantastic hosts acting on every need, comfortable suites, excellent hot breakfast, good location with nearby restaurants
I would recommend Harfield Guest house to everybody. It is situated behind the beautiful Table Mountain with great scenic views, friendly staff, great food, very nice interiors and decor. Awesome and affordable. The option of viewing channels in the rooms. Guests do not have the option to change to a channel on DSTV and view something they like.

Location description from owner
The Larnaka District
Larnaca is the perfect choice for families, friends or couples. Wonderful weather combined with stunning surroundings and numerous beachs make for the ideal holiday getaway. Summer stretches from May to October with high temperatures, clear blue skies and gentle cooling breezes on the coast. Winter temperatures are lower but with only a handful days of raining each year Larnaca is ideal for yearlong sun holidays!
Larnaca is a significant touristic and commercial centre and is a convenient base for exploring the island of Cyprus.
Larnaca boasts the traditional, finikoudes (palm tree) harbour promenade and a large marina. There is a wealth of historical interest around the area including an array of small museums, the church of St Lazarus, the Teke Muslim shrine and flamingo filled salt lakes, Kiti Church and the mountain and monastery of Stavrovouni. And of course if it's a beach holiday you're after then this area offers miles of sandy beaches stretching from the Dhekelia tourist area with its line of 5 star hotels to the Finnikoudes, Mackenzie beach area, and not forgetting Kiti, and Pervolia with Faros Beach famous for its watersports activities.
Larnaca is home to the main airport, but also many guests use Paphos airport which is 75 minutes way along the new motorway.
For the sports enthusiast there's plenty to do. For those who like fishing there's sea fishing out of Larnaca harbour or marina. For the scuba diver there is a world class diving site on the Zenobia, a sunken ro-ro ferry, just off Larnaca's Mackenzie beach. Or there are a number of very nice beaches for sunbathing or swimming. If you like to play golf there is an 18 hole course at Vikla, near Limassol only 35 minutes' drive from the villa. If you like hiking there are excellent routes to explore around the area including a route along the magnificent salt lake.
For those who enjoy history and archaeology.... well Cyprus is your island! At Larnaca you have the Pierides museum and the ruins of Ancient Kition. You can also visit Kourion just outside Limassol. It's a beautiful hillside location with Roman villas, mosaics and an amphitheatre that is used for concerts around midsummer.
This following YouTube video showcases Larnaca's beauties.
With Larnaca only 15 mins away, the traditional village of Pervolia is the ideal base from which to visit Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol, Protaras and Ayia Napa and even Paphos which is now only a one and a half hour drive away along the excellent new motorway.
The village has a number of restaurant ranging from traditional Cypriot tavernas , kebab houses and curry house. You can walk along the many beaches and watch the wind surfers along the beach or even join in if you want.

"A great relaxing holiday retreat with a gorgeous private pool!"
The bungalow is well equipped and has a great outdoor seating area and the benefit of a lovely and private pool with both a shallow and deep end. There is easy access walking access to the local Faros beach, although we primarily stuck to the pool. Great places to eat in Pervolia: Kokos Tavern (5 min drive) and Dipato Artcafe (Great sea views and just 3 min walk by the lighthouse). The host Mrs Evdokia and her son were both lovely and very accommodating. The kitchen is well equipped and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay without being excessive. The furnishings are basic but comfortable. A car is definitely recommended and although Pervolia is on the quiet side as far as resort destinations go (which for us was a plus) it's location makes it a great basis for exploring the rest of Cyprus. Lovely people, a great holiday and would definitely stay again!
"Fantastic villa and holiday"
Larnaca Pool villa was just as we hoped it would be. The photos are an accurate representation of the villa and the pool ...the villa is very clean and well equipped.The pool is fantastic!!...the owners are most welcoming :)) The villa is located in a very quiet residential area....Local facilities include a lovely restaurant at the lighthouse and a beach,both within 5 mins walk. Further afield, approx 5 mins drive are the villages of Pervolia and Kiti, both have restaurants and coffee shops. A car is essential..we would definitely recommend this villa etc and intend to return . Thank you Evdokia for a fantastic holidayXX
"Perfect Holidays in a fantastic Villa"
Just back from our 2 holiday spent in this wonderful villa in Pervolia - and it was abolut perfect . The last 7 years we stay in different locations in Pervolia but this year we found the perfect mixture of comfort and relaxation. Only one little thing could be better: there were only two sunbeds by the pool and we missed a sun umbrella. Otherwise...we come back next year!!!!
"Fantastic villa"
We arrived in Cyprus and phoned to get directions - many thanks - spot on. The villa was perfect for our needs. The villa was brilliant, it met our needs, it was clean, tidy and well laid out. The kitchen had most things that you would need, for self catering, the fridge / freezer was a good size, a microwave oven would help. But that did not worry us. The bedrooms are a good size with plenty of space. The best bit has got to be the swimming pool, it was of a good standard, very clean and not too cold. The outside patio area and table & chairs were used every day, a great start to the day, having breakfast outside. The villa has air conditioning - which is does help to cool things off . What also helped was the car parking stand. In summary - a fantastic villa, well equipped, clean , tidy, I would use the villa again. I will also add, that the owners are fantastic, very helpful, and they provided a lovely free bottle of wine and some sweets as a welcome gift. Great value!
"Faros Beach villa – Great family vacations!"
This Villa was a great choice for our family. It's well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time being lazy at the pool and enjoying the sunshine! The villa is at a great location as the beach is only a minute walk and the charming village is only 3 minutes away driving. We really loved the food at the traditional restaurant at the village square! The nearby Lighthouse offers some nice photo opportunities especially at sunset! My entire family enjoyed our stay in this villa. The kids loved the pool, while my wife and I enjoyed our walks in the surrounding areas.

* PAI could sell FTE Automotive, Spie, Perstorp
* Selling Yoplait, CEP, Kwik Fit and Gruppo Coin -sources
* New fund could launch by end 2011 or 2012
* Investors encouraged by more openness, team decisions
By Simon Meads and Victoria Howley
LONDON, Feb 7 French buyout firm PAI Partners is selling a clutch of companies, preparing the ground for a new fund and drawing a line under the management upheaval that nearly marked its demise.
PAI has four sales in process and bankers expect more this year, allowing the firm that ousted management 18 months ago and saw its fifth buyout fund cut in half, to return money to investors ahead of new fundraising that could come late in 2011.
German clutch maker FTE Automotive, which has rebounded strongly in 2010, is a likely disposal, people familiar with the company say. Along with some sales already underway, that could allow PAI to wrap up its third fund, raised 10 years ago.
Engineering firm Spie could also be sold, people say, and bankers pinpointed chemicals firm Perstorp last year as another candidate for sale. [ID:nLDE6671WI]
PAI successfully floated Danish ingredients maker Chr. Hansen (CHRH.CO) last year and is to consider bids for its investment in French dairy business Yoplait this week. [ID:nLDE7150H5]
It is in talks to sell Italian clothing chain Gruppo Coin to BC Partners [BCPRT.UL], and is selling mortgage broker CEP and tyre fitter Kwik Fit, people familiar with the processes say.
PAI declined to comment on specific deals, but its Chairman and CEO Lionel Zinsou told Reuters in a telephone interview the time was reasonably good for disposals.
"You have some sectors where you have very relevant financial sponsors and others where trade buyers are very relevant," Zinsou said.
In the spotlight as investors faced severe restrictions on their resources, the former private equity arm of BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA) saw investor commitments to its fifth fund cut in half to 2.7 billion euros ($3.67 billion) at the end of 2009.
The firm is spending money again, with four acquisitions sealed since June 2010 -- laboratory testing company Cerba, airport ground handler Swissport, airport retailer Nuance and Dutch lingerie firm Hunkemoeller.
Having committed about 60 percent of its fund to deals, investors expect PAI to come back for more money in 2012, or at the end of 2011, if it keeps up its current pace of investment.
And with more deals in Europe hitting the 1 billion euro mark, the firm could be hoping to justify a new fund close to 5 billion euros, more in line with the original fifth fund, one investor in the firm said.
PAI said it did not currently have any definitive plans for fundraising.
It's a far cry from 2009, when boom-time buyouts creaked under heavy debt burdens and PAI faced its darkest hours.
The loss of roofing business Monier, bought in 2007 but then hit by recession and hobbled by its debt, was a turning point.
Some investors and bankers believe frustrated lenders wanted to set an example for arrogant private equity firms, but those familiar with the firm say PAI could have held on to Monier if its management had been less aggressive.
The ensuing melee saw Chairman and CEO Dominique Megret and senior partner Bertrand Meunier forced out.
The promise of a less autocratic style of decision-making and more openness, relayed during 100 days of meetings with investors, turned the tide, just as investors were pulling the plug on British rival Candover (CDI.L).
"Let's be clear, they survived by the skin of their teeth. It was a near-death experience. People threw them a lifeline," a banker familiar with the firm said.
Investors are encouraged by the improvements and view PAI as more collegial and open under Zinsou, a former Rothschild banker, and his team.
"I think they have found a way of increasing the relative power of the local deal teams; there really is shared power now. You have the evidence the team works because of the deals they have done," said the investor.
Megret and Meunier, reported to be considering a new private equity fund, did not respond to requests for comment. (Editing by Will Waterman) ($1=.7359 Euro)

"Dainty Dining" coming this fall!
Some of you won't be surprised at my subject since I've been researching department store tea rooms all year and occasionally published a blog post about one of them here, a preview of some of the things that will be in the book. It includes recipes, tales and memorabilia from 20 department store tea rooms/restaurants across the country, including Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles, Burdines in Miami, Denver Dry Goods in Denver, Filene's in Boston, Frederick & Nelson in Seattle, Gimbels in New York, Hess's in Allentown, Penn., Higbee Company in Cleveland, J.L. Hudson in Detroit, Innes Dry Goods in Wichita, F & R Lazarus in Columbus, Ohio, Macy's in New York, Maison Blanche in New Orleans, Marshall Field in Chicago, Miller & Rhoads in Richmond, Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Rich's in Atlanta, Wanamaker's in Philadelphia, Woodward & Lothrop in Washington, D.C. and Younker Brothers in Des Moines. The 1947 postcard above shows the "modern" Rich's Department Store in Atlanta, a beloved retail institution in my fair state.
And this postcard is from the tea room at Woodward & Lothrop in Washington, D.C. Earlier this year I learned that tea friend Belinda M.'s mother once worked at a branch of this store in the D.C. area.
And here is the chocolate fudge cake that was once served in that tea room, and it is simply divine!
So these are the sort of things that fill my book, and I can't wait until it gets here! Locally, I'll be doing book signings at Scott's Bookstore here in Newnan and at my friend's store, Cydney's Alley, in Senoia. You can order via the PayPal button at top right. You don't have to have a PayPal account yourself, but it allows you to securely enter your debit card or credit card information, which I never see. (I've been sending and receiving funds via PayPal myself for more than a decade, and it's my favorite way to pay for online purchases.)
But enough of the sales info! To kick things off, I'm giving away five free autographed copies of the book, and all you have to do to be entered is leave an "Enter me" comment to this post between now and next Monday, Oct. 10, at 7 a.m. EST. Good luck!
UPDATE: Giveaway has ended, but copies of the book are still available to order!

Bread for the Journey
...build yourself up in your most holy faith.
Jude v. 20
Sunday morning is a banquet...
I attend the church service and am fed.
What about the other days six days of the week?
Pastor Ron won't prepare a banquet for me every day.
I am responsible for feeding myself...
and I need to be reminded of that often.
11 comments:
yes..being fed on Sunday morning services is just great...food is nover overcooked, undercooked, or burnt...just good old fashioned good!!! LOL...I was thinking today as I was making potato salad..that many folks are always looking for "shortcuts" when cooking...as for me...I like taking my time...it gives me a time to think of those not so fortunate as we and our family are!!! time to pray...and time to praise!!!

Full Product Description
This study of a Markan genre, represented in the central section 8.27-10.4, ranges through Greek, rabbinic and early Christian literature, providing detailed comparison with the anecdotes in Lucian's "Demonax" and the "Mishnah". Moeser concludes that the Markan anecdotes clearly follow the definition of, and typologies for, the Greek chreia. His analysis indicates that while the content of the three sets of anecdotes is peculiar to its respective cultural setting, the Greek, Jewish and Christian examples all function according to the purposes of the genre.
The Anecdote by Marion Moeser was published by Continuum in October 2002. The ISBN for The Anecdote is 9780826460592.

Anthony scored 13 points in the first half, including three steals, where he went end-to-end for thunderous one-handed dunks.
Carmelo Anthony added 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Orangemen, who defeated Cornell for the 28th straight time. Anthony has now recorded a double-double in each of his four regular season games. The Orangemen (3-1) will next play Binghamton (one of three more upstate teams) before finally opening their Big East schedule in January.
Kueth Duany chipped in 13 points for the Orangemen, who shot nearly 50 percent from the field. Syracuse also had a defensive show collecting 12 steals to add to seven blocks (Jeremy McNeil and Craig Forth each had two).
Cody Toppert paced the Big Red with 21 pounds, but the Big Red were overpowered from the start. Grant Harrell nailed two 3-pointers to put Cornell in front 12-9 early on. But Duany hit his own three and then dished it to Anthony for an alley-oop dunk that gave Syracuse the lead for good.
Warrick led a 21-5 run with a steal and a slam to put Syracuse in front by 13 with just over nine minutes left in the first half. Syracuse then took a 44-27 lead at halftime and went up by as many as 25 before Cornell started its comeback.
Toppert hit four three pointers as part of a 13-0 Big Red run to pull to within nine points. But Cornell never drew closer.

[ The Armor of God ] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
Ephesians 6:10-11 NIVIs true financial well-being more than getting out of debt and accumulating wealth? How does the Bible offer holistic financial pathways that lead you to a place of increased awareness and confidence toward the way God wants you to handle money?
The Bible is God's Word, yet it exists through human means. God's commands appear to be absolute, yet some passages seem ambiguous. How can we understand the Scriptures correctly?
What does Bible prophecy foretell about the current news in the Middle East? Major conflicts seem to arise out of nowhere to threaten world stability. What's the connection between the Bible and real-time events, and how does Scripture provide comfort in such a time?
Have our preconceived notions about angels been shaped by sensationalized popular opinion rather than by true biblical representation?

By BRANDON BAILEY
AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system debuts Wednesday, as the longtime leader in PC software hopes that giving the upgrade away for free will help it carve out a new role in a world where people increasingly rely on smartphones, tablets and information stored online.
The company is counting on tens or even hundreds of millions of people to download its latest release in the coming months. Many people will also get Windows 10 as part of new PCs. The launch will be accompanied by a global marketing campaign for an event the company hopes will be pivotal _ both for its own future and for a vast audience of computer users around the world.
Windows 10 is coming to PCs and tablets first, but it's also designed to run phones, game consoles and even holographic headsets. It has new features, a streamlined Web browser called Edge and a desktop version of Cortana, the online assistant that is Microsoft's answer to Google Now and Apple's Siri.
Still, the company insists Windows 10 will seem familiar to users of Windows 7, the six-year-old operating system still running on most PCs. Microsoft and PC makers want to erase the memory of the last big update, 2012's Windows 8, which alienated many with its jarring, unwieldy design.
Microsoft skipped the name Windows 9, as if to distance itself further from the last release. While many analysts believe Windows 8 made sagging PC sales even worse, it's unclear if Windows 10 will spur the industry back to growth.
Here's a look at the launch and why it matters:
Q: What happens this week?
A: Microsoft plans promotional events in several cities Wednesday, tied to a global ad campaign and a series of charitable donations. About 5 million people who enrolled in an earlier test program will be able to download Windows 10 right away.
The company is also offering Windows 10 as a free download, any time over the next year, to anyone who has the Home or Pro versions of Windows 7 or 8 (but not the Enterprise versions used by big organizations). Some people might not get it the first day; Microsoft says it will deliver downloads in waves, to ensure things go smoothly, but it hasn't said how long that will take. Details on how to upgrade are here: http://bit.ly/1eNCySl .
Retailers such as Best Buy, Staples and Wal-Mart will have some desktops and laptops with Windows 10 already installed. More models are coming.
Q: Why is Microsoft giving Windows 10 for free?
A: The company wants to get the new software on as many devices as possible. Microsoft needs a large pool of users to convince independent programmers that it's worth their time to build useful or entertaining apps for Windows 10 devices. Executives also believe that if people are exposed to the latest and best Windows, they're more likely to try other Microsoft products on PCs and mobile devices.
CEO Satya Nadella says he wants to have 1 billion devices running Windows 10 in three years. Microsoft estimates there are 1.5 billion people who currently use some kind of Windows. Rather than charging them to upgrade, as Microsoft used to do, it's embracing the free download model pioneered by Apple and Google.
Q: How will Microsoft make money?
A: Microsoft will still collect licensing fees from PC makers that install Windows 10 on new machines. In recent years, most consumers have waited until they bought a new computer to get the latest Windows. Microsoft also makes money from selling Windows and other software to large businesses and organizations.
In addition, Microsoft is counting on Windows 10 to spur more use of other services. Microsoft makes money from selling advertising for its Bing search engine, and Windows 10 comes with many apps that steer people to Bing. The company also collects fees from people who use premium versions of its Office software, OneDrive cloud storage and Skype.
Q: Why does this matter to consumers?
A: Microsoft says Windows 10 is designed for the way people use computers today _ with a faster Web browser and features that make it easier to start tasks on a PC and then switch to a hand-held device. (Apple and Google tout similar features in their software.)
Windows 10 also lets users log in with their face, iris or thumbprint, instead of remembering passwords, though this works only with computers equipped with the right hardware.
Most PC users are still working with Windows 7, thanks to Windows 8's unpopularity. But Microsoft plans to phase out maintenance and security support for Windows 7 over the next five years, and for Windows 8 by 2023, as it did with the older Windows XP. Still, there's no need to panic about upgrading right away.

From Our Editors
Doctor of Chiropractic Jacob Bastomski first became interested in problems tied to the nervous system when his youngest son was discovered to have a lazy eye. Eager to understand this specific type of dysfunction and learn interventions that could help his son avoid surgery, Dr. Bastomski went back to school and completed a post-graduate course in chiropractic neurology. Today, he relies on the holistic practice of chiropractic neurology to treat neck and back pain, as well as help patients simply maintain their health. His office boasts high-tech gadgets such as deep-muscle lasers, a DeLorean that sends patients back to less achy moments of their lives, and a VAX-D decompression table, which Dr. Bastomski uses to complement services such as spinal adjustments and nutritional counseling.

Just some of our amazing fellow citizens |
often do you watch or read the news and feel that it's only ever bad, and that
it leaves you wondering whether you've strayed into the Slough of Despond?
even if you don't fall into a trap of assuming that the unrelenting drip, drip
of crime and corruption and scandal is a mirror of society as a whole, it can
still give you a sense of being rather depressed by it all.
night's Pride of Britain awards were, for precisely those reasons, a very good
there was a red carpet and yes, there were plenty of celebrities to hand out
the awards, but the winners themselves were, for the most part, hardly
household names.
each had a story of courage or dedication that had seen them take the stage to
receive an award.
was Margaret Aspinall, the mother of one of the Hillsborough dead, who has
never given up campaigning for justice for the 96.
Williams, a lollipop lady from Wales, threw herself in front of an out-of-control
car to save a group of children – and remains, for the present, in a
Saturday night, 86-year-old Anne Scarfe goes out with a team of volunteers in
Plymouth to help young people get home safely after an evening on the tiles.
members of the RNLI flood rescue team in Devon were honoured for their bravery.
Trevor and Ray Powles, now in their 70s, suffered TB as young men, but then
dedicated their lives to becoming doctors, and have made enormous steps forward
in the understanding and treatment of breast cancer and leukaemia respectively.
nine years without a job, Clifford Harding felt that his life was going
nowhere, but he developed a way of helping children to learn their times table
by using rap.
Kelly founded and runs a football team in Cheetham Hill, one of the most
deprived areas of the country, where she's helped to keep youngsters off the
streets and out of trouble – her team has even been lauded for the politeness
of the players.
Grey was named teacher of the year for turning around a school near Nottingham
that was threatened with closure, while 12-year-old Balie Kershaw won for
giving CPR as he waited for an ambulance to arrive after his father had
suffered a massive heart attack.
award also went to Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager that the Taliban
tried to murder because she was campaigning for education for girls. As the
possibility has been raised that she might win the Nobel Peace Prize, the
Taliban has said that it is committed to trying to kill her again and will be
"proud" if it can do so.
so the stories went on.
would take a very hardened cynic to have maintained a dry eye throughout – and
I happily admit that even I am not that cynical.
many ordinary (what does that even mean?) people doing remarkable, generous
things – or even just overcoming incredible odds. It was a humbling yet
uplifting watch.
news rarely makes the headlines – audiences seem wedded to sensational and
negative stories: or rather, news organisations tend to have decided that that
is the case and that that is what they will provide.
it can warp perceptions. For instance, when did you ever read a report about a
social worker who has successfully saved a child from an abusive home?
answer is that you won't have: social workers feature in the news when things
go wrong, and then there's a culture in a large section of the news media of
vilifying them – often because of a barely-veiled ideological hatred of the
public services/state/PC etc.
important to say that it's not always easy for news media to find good-news
stories and give them prominence – I know, having been a duty chief sub editor
on a national paper, and having made the sort of decisions that I'm referring to.
those days, I tried to balance out the usual unpleasant or 'serious' news at
least a little with, if nothing else, one 'happy' picture in an edition. And –
I hope it goes without saying – a fact-based, non-hysterical approach to the
rest of the news, which can also make a difference.
Fleet Street Fox rather nicely illustrated in her Mirror column yesterday, the Daily

unlikely to be involved with a Pride of Britain awards scheme any time soon.

somehow continue to think that it is a respectable, honest and truthful organ.

about the Pride of Britain awards. Well, you didn't really expect there to be,

than serving the whims of their master, the tax exile Lord Rothermere.
if that means drip-feeding the readership an addictive diet of brutalising,
hate-filled paranoia, so be it.
in the last 10 days, the Mail has gone into an overdrive of nastiness, almost as
though this will convince some that self-regulation of the industry is working
(honest) and should be allowed to continue.
of Britain was a welcome antidote to all the negativity – not least from a
publication that really does seem to hate the Britain that we live in today.
the other hand, if Dacre were to spontaneously combust any time soon –
preferably live on TV, facing questions about why he's such a nasty,
hate-sprewing piece of work – it would doubtless make one of the jolliest
stories anyone has read for years.

Judi Dench
Born in England in 1934, Dame Judi Dench made her stage debut in Hamlet in 1957. After building a following for her theater, film and TV roles, she gained international recognition in the 1990s as a character in the James Bond franchise. Dench won an Academy Award in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love, and earned additional nominations for her work in such films as Chocolat and Philomena.
Early Years
Actress Judith Olivia Dench was born on December 9, 1934, in North Yorkshire, England, to parents Reginald, a doctor, and Eleanora. From an early age, Dench received considerable exposure to the world of acting. Dench's father was the resident doctor for the Theatre Royal in York, and it wasn't uncommon for her to tag along during his visits there.
Even as a young girl, Dench showed a passion for performance. She loved to dress up and sing as her mother played the piano. Her first foray onto the stage came with the York Mystery Plays, where Eleanora helped out with the wardrobes and her father did some acting himself.
Dench attended an all-girls Quaker school, then followed with a brief stop at the York School of Art before changing course and heading off to London's Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art. The decision, Dench would later say, could be blamed on her brother, Jeffrey, another aspiring actor who also attended the school and pushed his sister to pursue stage work. "I'd never have thought of acting if it wasn't for Jeff," she has said.
Acting Debut
Dench's innate talent and versatility, though, were hard to ignore. She made her stage debut in 1957 with the Old Vic Production Company at the Royal Court, turning heads as Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Dench continued work with the Old Vic for another four years.
In 1961, Dench joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, the start of a 30-year run with that playhouse that would see the actress take on every leading female Shakespeare role.
But Dench wasn't just content with Shakespeare or drama. In 1959, she made her television debut in the BBC series Hilda Lessways. She stretched herself even more by taking on comedic work, including stage productions of Oscar Wilde. In 1968, she had a starring role as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.
Career Highlights
The 1960s brought Dench to the big screen, as well. Her performance as a young wife in Four in the Morning (1965) earned Dench her first British Academy of Film and Television Award. Other strong performances in additional British movies followed. Coupled with her continued stage work, Dench's name only grew in stature in her native England.
Gaining a foothold with American audiences was another matter. Dench's early play work had brought her to the States, and she later earned more of an international following as the star of the TV romantic comedy series As Time Goes By. However, it was her role as M, James Bond's boss in GoldenEye (1995), that established her as a legitimate Hollywood presence. Dench reprised the character for another six Bond films, ending with the 2012 release, Skyfall.
In 1997, she endeared herself to movie audiences in her first leading role as Queen Victoria in the biopic Mrs. Brown. But it was another royal performance, this time as Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love (1998), that proved Oscar worthy. Despite an on-screen time totaling just eight minutes, Dench's performance was so dazzling she walked away with the Best Supporting Actress Award.
Other memorable roles followed in films such as Chocolat (2000), Iris (2001), Mrs Henderson Presents (2005) and Notes on a Scandal (2006). Dench joined an ensemble cast of acclaimed British actors for the surprise 2011 hit The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and returned for its 2015 sequel, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. She also delivered a moving performance as the titular character of Philomena (2013), based on the book about a mother's search for a son given up to adoption.
Awards and Achievements
In 1996, Dench won an unprecedented two Lawrence Olivier Awards for Best Actress and Best Actress in a Musical. In 1999, the same year she won her Oscar, Dench earned a Tony Award for her leading role in Amy's View.
Dench's approach to her work is unusual. She famously doesn't read parts before accepting them, choosing instead to rely on the word of her friends and colleagues to help her make a decision. With her stage work, she often comes to rehearsals not having read the entire play. "Not reading pushes me to a kind of dangerous edge and there is something in me that needs that," she has explained.
It's hard to argue with the results. Over the course of her career, Dench has been recognized like few other actors. Along with her 1999 Oscar, she's received a total of seven Academy Award nominations. She's also won two Golden Globes, six Lawrence Olivier Awards and 10 British Academy of Film and Television Awards.
In addition, Dench was named an Order of the British Empire in 1970 and honored with the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1988. She was recognized with a Fellowship at the Royal Society of Arts in 2006, as well as a Fellowship from the British Film Institute in 2011.
Personal Life
Judi Dench married actor Michael Williams in 1971. The couple worked several times together, including in the British television series, A Fine Romance, and the 1999 film Tea with Mussolini. The two remained together until Michael's death from cancer in 2001. Dench and Williams had one child together, the actress Finty Williams.
Despite being diagnosed with macular degeneration and undergoing knee surgery in recent years, Dame Judi continues to devote herself to her craft and draw rave reviews as one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation.
