"
06/01/2003 - "Salt-inducible kinase (SIK), expressed in Y1 mouse adrenocortical tumor cells at an early stage of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-stimulation, represses the cAMP-responsive element (CRE)-dependent gene expression of CYP11A and StAR by acting on bZIP domain of CRE-binding protein.

I've never really had a Bucket List. I can't imagine me climbing Mount Everest, bungee-ing from the Eiffel Tower or orbiting the earth in a spacecraft simply for the sake of saying I'd finally done it. I mean, who am I going to say 'I dunnit' to? Are the overworked National Health nurses likely to be listening? A passing cleaner, perhaps? Maybe that giant spider in the corner wondering if what's left of me might make a good meal.
But I have slowly been developing a Chuckit List. I won't go into the whole thing now because it's still coalescing. Suffice to say that when finished it will be a list of all those little skills I never had the time or patience to master before; those skills I never quite used but never quite lost either; those projects I started, maybe more than once, lost patience with and Chucked. I now find myself with time and not much else, and the thing about Chuckits is they're cheap and time-consuming.
One of the Chuckits is to recover my French. I 'did' French at school for 'A' level and was quite good at it, then. I've never needed to use it since and would be horrified if expected to communicate with any kind of foreigner in anything but nice, safe old English. However, I seem to have retained a lot of it, at least for translation purposes. Books don't sneer – or worse still, shrug at you when you get it wrong. French people do.
It occurred to me that the most entertaining way to re-learn French was to start reading French novels with the help of a giant dictionary. So I collected a handful of novels that looked fairly easy, and 'gripping' enough to keep the attention of an Anglophone with the attention span of a gnat. At the moment I'm working my way through Les vacances de Maigret. Fortunately I've never read Maigret in translation so the plot is new, and I'm genuinely looking forward to finding out Whodunit. So far, nobody's Dun anything. Maigret's walked into a slightly creepy convent (or am I just imagining it?) feeling melancholy and preoccupied. But it's early days yet.
I'm writing out the translation as I go. The thing with French is, though – and that's also what makes it so interesting – you (or at least, I) oftentimes can't resolve it accurately into English. From the French you seem to get a clear picture of what Commissioner Maigret is seeing, but how to say it in English when it's like nothing you'd ever need English for? For example:
Dans un bureau vitré, tout clair, tout net, percé d'un guichet, une soeur à cornette, assize devant un register, lui souriait et disait:
– Bonjour, monsieur 6…
Now, what I picture as I read is a little office in some way sectioned out of the entrance hall of a convent. It's as if the whole office is made of glass but vitré may just mean there's a big window. And the window is pierced with a kind of grille, which makes me think of those little inset windows in banks and building societies, behind which the bored tellers sit, safe from attack by mutant customers etc. The office is filled with light, and it's very clean. Behind the glass but in front of some sort of register sits a sister (nun-type sister) wearing one of those elaborate, draped white hats nuns wear or used to wear in France, kind of pointed, like an ice-cream cornet. She smiles at him and says:
– Good day, Mr 6…
But how do you put that, succinctly, in English?
Anyway, it keeps me out of mischief.
Number 2 on the Chuckit List (I promise, no more than two) is knitting in the round. I've always avoided attempting such complicated items as gloves and socks, partly because it's cheaper and easier to buy them than to buy the wool, and the pattern, and the needles and spend months trying to figure out how to turn the heel or achieve more than four fingers. However, I have decided to knit a balaclava.
Why a balaclava, you ask? Or, what is a balaclava?
Well, a balaclava is an unflattering helmet with a hole for the face. The idea is that it keeps head, cheeks and neck warm all in one garment. Wearing it, you look like a woolly cyborg, but never mind, you're toasty. Women knitted mountains of them during the First World War to send off to troops on the front line. Mostly in France. Ha – a semi-circular post.
So, it will keep me warm and enable me to economise on heating but, and more importantly, it is a very complicated item to knit and requires two attempts at circular knitting, with a section of straight (i.e. two-needle) knitting in between.
I've just managed three rather wobbly 'rounds', having spent some time this morning watching a YouTube video of an über-soothing American lady with plump, comforting hands (the rest of her stayed anonymous) demonstrating how to join the two ends, which needle the stitch-marker should always be on and – most importantly – how to remedy an unwanted twist. The unwanted twist is the thing to avoid at all costs. If you get one you end up with a woolly version of the Mobius strip, only it's taken you hours to make, whereas one of those twisted strips of paper takes seconds.
It's a learning experience: if a fully-fashioned balaclava comes out of it I shall be most surprised. And so will the Post Lady if I forget to take it off when answering the front door. Though since the Post Lady turned up in a range of eccentric velour Christmas hats last year – one with rabbit-ears, I recall – worn with her post-lady hat on top, and blue-dyed hair – she may not bat an eyelid.

- Makes: 1 whole pizza
- 1 (8 ounce) packaged spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- 4 ounces pepperoni sausage, sliced
- 3 cups water for boiling
Did you make this recipe?

Crazy aunt out of the closet
In a presentation to this year's annual meeting of the American Economic Association, Alan Blinder argues that the circumstances—low inflation and low nominal interest rates, persistent excess capacity, and fiscal policy paralyzed by large debts—that have forced central banks to operate through unconventional policy will be a recurring feature of the economic landscape. "We can't stuff the crazy aunt back in the closet".
According to Economist Magazine, of the rich world's four major central banks, Britain's and Japan's already have their policy rates stuck near zero and the fourth, the European Central Bank (ECB), is likely to get there this year. Meanwhile, the balance-sheets of all four institutions have ballooned as they expand the volume and range of assets and loans they hold (see charts below).
[singlepic id=34 w=500 h=250 float=]
Whatever central bankers do, they cannot repair problems best fixed by politicians, such as America's incoherent fiscal policy or Europe's fractured institutions. Asked about the ECB's aggressive new lending to banks, Masaaki Shirakawa, the governor of the Bank of Japan, said it could "buy time". But he warned it could backfire if politicians fritter away whatever time the central bank has bought. Unfortunately, that risk is never low.
Bernanke Press Conference (Nov. 2, 2011)
Part 1
Part 2
The Fed's latest thinking
Interview of Chicago Fed's president Charles Evans, one of the vocal doves on the Fed's Open Market Committee (or FOMC). Evans advocates the Fed should target on employment growth, and consider raising inflation target to 3%, instead of 2%.
He favors the Fed clearly states its future course of actions and offers clear forward guidance contingent on economic outlook. He cited a piece by Mike Woodford on FT, who made the following forceful argument:
…Mr Bernanke can and should use his speech today to explain how his policy intentions are conditional upon future developments.
A clarification could help the economy in two ways. First, he could signal that a temporary increase in inflation will be allowed, before policy tightening is warranted. This would stimulate spending by lowering real interest rates. Second, specifying the size of any permanent price-level increase would avoid an increase in uncertainty about the long-run price level. This in turn would ward off an increase in inflation risk premiums that might otherwise counteract the desirable effect of the increase in near-term inflation expectations.
Uncertainty about the economic outlook is likely now the most important obstacle to a more robust recovery. The problem is not just uncertainty about Fed policy, but the fact that the Fed has become harder to "read" does not help. Better Fed communication, long on the agenda, would be particularly helpful at this juncture. Jackson Hole provides Mr Bernanke with the ideal opportunity.
My problem with Woodford's recommendation is, how can the Fed convince people that the raise of inflation target is going to be temporary? What if employment situation won't get any better after raising inflation target to 3%? Will 4% then be tolerable? Will this generate a positive spiral of inflation (expectations)??
Stephen Roach: the US economy is on steroids
Roach questions the Fed's monetary policy channel through wealth effect, which is prone to generate asset bubbles one after another. He also thinks the Fed should change its narrow policy objective of price stability, but to ensure broader financial stability.
Are you ready for QE3?
Interview of Marc Faber, who thinks QE3 is a matter of time.
Meltzer – US inflation is coming
Interview of Allan Meltzer, the outspoken historian on the Fed:
America in releveraging?
America's financial sector is still undergoing the deleveraging process – Big banks are busy in repairing their balance sheets, gradually writing off their losses in housing bubble era.
But with Fed's super easy monetary policy and easy access to the dirt cheap credit, there seems to be a divergence in terms of attitude toward credit. The main street corporate America now is the one who carries the credit torch forward. With interest rate expected only to rise (not fall), America's corporations are borrowing like there is no tomorrow. This is being reflected in the junk bond market, where yields again fell close to the 2007-level low.
Is another credit bubble in the making? Are we going to see a flurry of corporate defaults in coming years? Is the Fed just delaying the inevitable?
This FT video may offer you some insights to the issue.

Reinhart comments on Bernanke's Fed
Vincent Reinhart discusses the Fed's monetary policy outlook – Fed first need to unload its balance sheet before raising rates.
Maybe "stagflation" is for real…
Yield curve is telling a very different story than the stock market. Echoing Meltzer's earlier piece, "Bernanke's 70s show", maybe stagflation is for real…reports WSJ:
Treasurys may be signaling trouble.
The market is behaving in ways that suggest investors are starting to fret over the potential for stagflation in the U.S. …
Consider the Treasury "yield curve." It refers to the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt. Typically, as the economy is expanding, this curve has an upward slope, and is usually at its steepest during the earliest stages of a recovery.
Eventually, investors anticipate the Fed will begin raising interest rates to stave off inflation. That tends to lift short-term rates, compress long-term ones, and generally flatten the curve, or even invert it if investors expect the outcome could be recession.
Lately, with the U.S. growth outlook improving, the slope of the curve hasn't started flattening, as might be expected at this point in the recovery. Instead, it has gotten steeper.
Earlier this week, the spread between two-year and 30-year Treasury yields hit a record-wide four percentage points, notes RBS Securities. At the same time, the implied annual inflation rate over a five-to-10 year horizon, based on Treasury yields, has moved up above 3% and towards levels last seen before the Fed's previous rate-rise cycle began in mid-2004.
Investors, in other words, don't expect the Fed to be as aggressive as in the past in raising rates—even as they see inflation on the rise.
"I think the Fed's credibility is in question here," says Priya Misra, head of rates strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Or perhaps investors simply realize the Fed has put itself between a rock and a hard place. The U.S. unemployment rate is currently 9.4%, after all. It was at 5.6% in June 2004.
In a twist, the best scenario for the U.S. now is that interest rate increases in China, Brazil and other emerging markets rein in global cost pressures, giving the Fed—and the recovery—some breathing room.
The U.S. needs strong growth more than ever, especially with limited appetite for serious fiscal overhaul, to assuage the market's other worry: wide deficits and heavy debt.
The clock is ticking.
Catherine Mann: Fed should give up its job rate target
Interview of Cathy Mann at Brandeis University. She noted there was inconsistency in the Fed's monetary policy —given the current unemployment rate, the Fed can't be fighting inflation and unemployment at the same time — Either the Fed will have to give up their target on unemployment rate (6%), or they'll have to give up their inflation target. And since neither QE1 or QE2 did much to job creation, it's better to give up the target on unemployment rate, rather than letting the market form expectations that inflation is going to get out of control.

Welcome and Introductions (13 parents in attendance)
Mr. Gorton shared 4 school wide goals from LCAP:
All students will receive a high quality education with equitable high expectations, access to technology, and CCSS that prepare them to be college and/or career ready to be adult members of their community.
All students, families, and staff will participate as learners in a safe, healthy, inclusive, and welcoming school environment.
Parents, family and community will be informed, engaged and connected as partners with school and district staff to support student learning.
High quality, culturally proficient, and responsive staff will be supportive of all students, respectful of all students' backgrounds, and invested in the education of all students.
Ms. Fairholm reviewed Comprehensive School Safety Plan.
Mr. Gorton reviewed sate assessment data (CAASP)
Parent Questions:
CAASP data from 2014-2015 is baseline data, first year of scores.
K, 1st, 2nd do not take state test CAASP. They utilize Common Core Curriculum and iReady Common Core assessment to prepare students for upper grades.
Teachers receive professional development through professional development days and early release Wednesdays to continue to develop skills around Common Core Standards.
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) address the need for students to have multiple ways of solving problems and skills to access resources to find solutions. CCSS also stresses need for collaboration to solve problems.
Parents asked for a way (text) to be notified of safety drills so they are aware and can discuss with students to support .

pHLIP, Inc. is a Delaware corporation founded in 2014. It has the general objective of applying its pHLIP® platform technology for targeting cargoes to acidic tissues in order to detect, treat or prevent diseases in human. The current uses are focused on the fact that cancer cells and activated macrophages within tumors or inflamed tissues acidify their environments, and hence are targeted by pHLIP® agents. How did the technology evolve? How is the company organized? What might the future hold?
The original pHLIP® peptide was discovered in the course of studies of ideas concerning how membrane proteins enter the lipid bilayers that form the basic structures of biological membranes. Most proteins that are located across membranes have one or more helical segments that cross the lipid bilayer, and studies of these helical parts in a highly researched protein, bacteriorhodopsin, revealed that one of the helices could fold from a disorganized state outside of a membrane to form a helix across the membrane in response to local acidity. Because tumor cell surfaces are acidic as a result of their active metabolism, versions of pHLIP® peptides were extensively investigated and tested as possible tumor targeting agents over the course of 15 years of work at Yale, the University of Rhode Island, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. These studies showed that an extensive variety of cargoes can be targeted to cell surfaces and that a surprising range of cargoes can be delivered across membranes into cells if their surfaces are acidic, creating opportunities to detect and treat tumors.
Because it is evident that marking and treating tumors are major objectives in contemporary medicine, pHLIP, Inc. was formed, and the technology was licensed from the universities where the work was done. The licenses include exclusive rights to the pH peptide patent families (more than 20 issued patents and patent applications), as well as the pHLIP® trademark. Research and intellectual property protection are ongoing efforts as new versions and applications of pHLIP® peptides are found.
With a large range of possible approaches in view, it rapidly became apparent that it would be impossible to pursue all of them in a timely fashion, so the company has adopted a business approach based on collaborative licensing of particular applications to other companies, where pHLIP, Inc. receives various payments and provides expert guidance for the applications in the company of the licensee. In some cases, pHLIP, Inc. is taking the early steps toward the clinic in order to enhance the value of a product before it is licensed, in other cases the path toward the clinic is pursued by a partner starting at an earlier stage. Two imaging products developed within the company are now entering clinical trials, and two licensed areas are rapidly nearing the point where candidates will be advanced to clinical trials.
The future of applications in the cancer field is bright. Because acidity is a feature of cancer cells that is more pronounced in aggressive cases, and because very small tumors can be targeted, the resistance that has limited many current approaches should not arise, and successful therapy can be anticipated for metastatic cancer. Moreover, other areas of medicine may be amenable to successful applications of the pHLIP® technology, including arthritis, atherosclerosis, gene therapy, and others. An exciting set of directions is in view!

Healthy Pregnancy: Are Prenatal Vitamins Necessary?
Posted by on
Pregnancy is a difficult period for a woman's body as during this time it carries out the monumental work of building a new life. Nutrition is essential in order to give birth to a healthy baby. Therefore, the right question to ask is not 'are prenatal vitamins necessary?' but 'what kind of prenatal vitamins do I need?'
Your overall pregnancy diet should be well-balanced and account for your increased nutritional needs. It's imperative to take the necessary blood tests and listen to your doctor's advice regarding the foods you can and cannot eat. However, even the best meal plans may not provide you with the essential nutrients in required doses.
For this reason, the vast majority of pregnant women are prescribed prenatal vitamins necessary for the support of both the fetus and mother's health. These supplements must include the following elements:
- Folic
This is one of the most important nutrients for a future mother. According to studies, getting enough of this B vitamin from the very beginning of the pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the baby by over 70%. Folic acid also helps prevent other birth defects as well as preeclampsia.
Note that the synthetic variety of this mineral found in supplements like Prenatal Multivitamin from Quality Nature is better absorbed by the body than folic acid from foods.
- Iron.
Women are a high-risk group for iron deficiency by default. The danger of this condition increases tenfold during pregnancy. This often results in a dangerous form of anemia that weakens the mother's body as a whole and can cause pre-term delivery and other complications. Increasing your iron intake is vital during pregnancy and seeing how the amount of iron you can get from a healthy diet is limited, taking a supplement usually is the best solution.
- Calcium.
Calcium deficiency is quite common overall, especially in pregnant and nursing women. Increasing the amount of this mineral in your diet is imperative to ensure your baby develops strong and healthy bone structure. Not all prenatal supplements contain this element, so be careful to check the contents of the product and amount of calcium in it. Consult your doctor to determine your required daily dose.
- Vitamin
As people produce vitamin D when their bodies are exposed to sunlight, being deficient in this particular element is a very common problem. This condition can lead to birth defects and deformities of the bone structure. You also need to understand that this ingredient doesn't fall into the category of prenatal vitamins necessary for birth, so the majority of multivitamin products don't contain enough of it to make up for the natural deficiency. This means that you might need to take an extra supplement of this element. In this case, you'll need to make sure that it's safe for pregnant women.
Remember that nutrient deficiencies in the mother have a detrimental effect on the development of the child right from the moment of conception. If you want to reduce the risks to the minimum, you need to prepare for pregnancy in advance and make sure your body is healthy and ready to support the development of a strong baby. Be sure to ask your doctor 'Are prenatal vitamins necessary for me?' after you take all the necessary blood tests as sometimes they can be prescribed even before the actual conception.

Non-Surgical Mid-Face Lift Using Dermal Fillers
Previously we shared Claire's patient testimonial and this week we wanted to give you an in-depth look at the treatment performed; a non-surgical mid-face lift.
Wrinkly Chest Treatments at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic
There are three non-invasive chest rejuvenation treatments to help with chest wrinkles and wrinkles in your cleavage. Naturally, it is essential to assess the chest and décolletage thoroughly to consider which changes are most important to treat.
Profhilo acts to improve the skin tissue quality, rather than adding volume like other hyaluronic acid injectable, and boosts and hydrates the skin as well as lifting and tightening the sagging tissue.
Ultherapy® is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment to improve lines and lift and tighten the skin on the chest by using tried-and-tested ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen skin from deep within. It remodels our natural collagen and stimulates tissue growth. Results are effective because your practitioner can ensure the ultrasound energy is targeted to where it's needed.
Restylane® Skinboosters™ are particularly suitable for the delicate skin on the chest and décolletage suffering from pigmentation and sun damage. Skinboosters hydrate skin deep in the dermis for ongoing chest hydration, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and making the chest and cleavage appear softer and smoother.
*DISCLAIMER Patient experience and results may vary. These are dependent on a number of factors such as lifestyle, age and medical history.

Review recommends Ireland develops fully integrated health services
A review of how public hospitals admit, treat and discharge patients has found that patients would spend less time in hospital and receive a better service if all public hospitals adopted practices that are the norm in other advanced health systems.
The Acute Hospital Bed Capacity Review, carried out by PA Consulting, sets out the choice for Ireland's public health service;
To meet the increasing demand for health care and to deliver better quality care, the Review recommends that Ireland develops an Integrated Health System (also known as the Preferred Health System). With this approach, health services (within and between hospital and community) are connected together seamlessly, delays between services are reduced and patients gets a better service.
Some of the practices that the Review recommends should operate in all public hospitals include:
The Review highlights that these practices are already working well in a number of Irish hospitals and introducing them to all public hospitals could be done relatively quickly.
Main FindingsThe Review found that many patients are unnecessarily admitted or being kept in hospital for too long. It says that with practice and process changes, existing hospital facilities would be able to deliver care to far more patients – which could reduce waiting times.
It also points out that to meet the 60% increase in demand for health care expected during the next 12 years, Ireland must tackle these process issues and reduce its over-reliance on acute hospitals, which is out of step with best international practice. Ireland must also rebalance its spending in favour of expanding community based services so that the public can access care more conveniently and closer to home.
Commenting on the Review's findings, Professor Brendan Drumm, CEO of the HSE, said that modernising hospital practices was essential: "To develop a world class health system we have to replace outdated practices with modern ways of doing things that reflect the needs of patients." He said that clinicians (doctors, consultants, nurses and therapists) would play an essential role in leading this change.
"The review tells us that more resources are not the only answer to improving access and reducing waiting times. Hospitals can reduce waiting times by simply modernising the way staff manage the passage of patients in and through their hospitals, as is consistently achieved in other hospital systems," he said.
The Review emphasises that hospital stays should be minimised as they can be disruptive to families, inconvenient for patients, increase the risk of infection, and they can impact on important social networks and delay recovery, especially for elderly people.
Acute Hospital Bed Capacity ReviewThe HSE commissioned PA Consulting Group to undertake a review of acute hospital bed capacity up to 2020. It involved a comprehensive stakeholder consultation exercise, including over 120 Irish and 20 international health experts. The Review outlines the options, opportunities and challenges in developing the right balance for patients between inpatient, day case and community based care and sets out what it calls the Integrated Health System.
The concept of the Integrated Health System as set out in the Review is consistent with the HSE's current strategy to make it easier for people to access services, building up primary, community and long-term care services and developing services for chronic disease management.
One of the authors of the Review, Paul Pierotti, said that the average length of time patients stay in hospitals in Ireland is relatively long. "In Ireland, many inpatient hospital beds are being used for two types of patients -those who are simply waiting for procedures, access to assessments and test results, and those who are waiting for non acute, long stay and rehabilitation care. Irish and international evidence shows that services are better provided in the community", Mr Pierotti said.
With an Integrated Health System patients should get in, through and out of the health service more quickly. The majority of care should be provided through community-based facilities and appropriate day case procedures. People spend less time in hospital and more time being cared for in their communities or in their own homes. With an Integrated Health System patients are more likely to receive the care they need in the right location provided by the right professional, when they need it. This approach also promotes greater accountability, transparency and value for money.
Impact of Integrated Health System on bed demandAccording to the Review, in addition to delivering better service, better outcomes and better value, the development of a fully Integrated Health System would impact on the demand for public patient beds by 2020. There are currently 11,660 public beds in public hospitals. In addition there are nearly 4,400 private beds (2,461 in public hospitals and 1,926 in private hospitals).
If the modern hospital practices and processes which already operate in some Irish hospitals, and are the norm in health services around the world, operated in all Irish hospitals, patients could get a better service with less public patient beds than currently exist. For example, countries such as Australia, UK, Finland, Denmark and Canada could treat the same number of patients as Ireland treats today with between 2,000 and 5,000 less public patient beds.
However, because the Integrated Health System does not yet operate universally in Ireland, there are stresses on the existing public health system. To meet these stresses, based on the current practices and processes, a further 1,118 hospital beds are required today. The Programme for Government includes a commitment to provide 1,500 extra acute beds over the next few years through the co-location initiative (about 1,000 beds) and the HSE capital plan (about 450 beds).
If current practices and processes continue and there is not the appropriate investment in community based facilities, the demand for public patient hospital beds would reach nearly 20,000 by 2020. This would require capital investment of around €4bn on new hospitals. Ireland would need to open a new 600 bed hospital (similar in size to some of our largest hospitals such as Tallaght Hospital, University College Hospital Galway and Cork University Hospital) every year for the next 12 years. Even with this unprecedented investment, patients would not receive the best care or outcomes and taxpayers would not be getting the best return for their health investment.
The Integrated Health System would see an expansion of community services and day cases as standard, with the role of acute hospitals and the configuration of beds adjusting accordingly. For instance:
There would also be a reduction in acute inpatient beds as patients would be treated in more appropriate settings including their own homes. The net impact is that Ireland would, if the Integrated Health System was 100% operational, need 8,834 public inpatient acute beds in 2020.
The result would be a much more sophisticated mix in our acute hospital bed stock to better match the increasing complexity of acute care needs, which is likely to continue on into the future. In addition, a continual programme of refurbishment and modernisation of acute in-patient beds would be needed. Coupled with a significant expansion in the range and volume of community-based services, the demand for additional long term care, continuing care, therapy and rehabilitation beds would reach 10,000.
The Review highlights that:
The Integrated Health System would see:

"Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars."
– Robert E. Howard, The Complete Chronicles of Conan
The Hyborian age and its barbarian hero have caught the attention of millions. We are, of course, talking about Conan, the Barbarian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, who was destined to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.
So, how does his saga start? Quite modestly, actually, with a series of short stories written by an aspiring author named Robert E. Howard. They were published in an American pulp fiction magazine called Weird Tales in the 1930s. And this pretty much sparked the birth of a genre called sword and sorcery – arguably the cruder antecedent of epic fantasy. However, awesome though they were, the stories didn't take the world by storm at that time. In fact, they were out of print for almost forty years and the barbarian king lay asleep in his deep tomb.
Then in the 70s the whole thing was revamped and we now have a couple of comic book series, films, cartoons and TV shows. Some are really good, some are plain terrible and should be erased out of existence and public memory (yes, I am talking about that 2011 movie, in which a unibrowed Khal Drogo wears a skirt and swings a large phallic piece of metal around), and others are funny and charming enough that we can overlook their lack of objective quality.
Interestingly, what most of these have in common is that their version of Conan is nothing like the character that Robert E. Howard made. And here, I intend to go on a mini rant over a few select interpretations (going through all of them would take too much time).
Conan the Original – the character from the short stories
Contrary to popular belief, Conan is not supposed to be a muscle bound oaf that can't string a sentence together and solves all major life dilemmas with either his penis or his sword. No, Howard's Conan the Barbarian was born in a savage time and in an unforgiving land.
Cimmeria was a country of hills and mountains, of rock and bog, perpetually overcast and cold. A cruel land that killed the weak and the stupid. And its god, Crom, was a disinterested deity that gave its people two gifts at birth: the strength in their sword-arm and the fire in their heart. Whether they lived or died was of no interest to him.
Conan was shaped and molded by this country, but it proved too small for him and so he set off to see this thing called civilization. In the beginning, he was perhaps a bit naïve, but never stupid. In fact, he was clever and cunning, and when the situation could not be resolved by trickery, only then did he resort to the sword.
He is a complex character; after he sees "civilization" he is disgusted by it, and yet always drawn back to it. Never tamed, never "civilized", never broken, Conan the Barbarian eventually became king by his own hand and ruled Aquilonia – the most powerful country in the world.
And during his long life, he met and battled demi-gods, sorcerers, crazy high-priests, pirates, thieves, whores, giants and a bunch of sword swinging hopefuls. He was a thief, burglar, body guard, ship captain, mercenary general, Kozaki ataman and a lover of women.
And there were a lot of women in Conan's life… From princesses, priestesses, tavern wenches and ladies of negotiable affections – all were crazy about him. Funny enough, he loved all of them – well most of them anyway, in a certain manner. None of his love interests was seen as thing, a sex object. Conan was a romantic. He got his heart broken a couple of times.
So, this is the character as envisioned and created by Robert E. Howard. Some later versions of the Cimmerian resembled him closely, while others had nothing to do with him. Btw, my favorite stories are The Frost Giant's Daughter and Queen of the Black Coast.
The Dark Horse Edition
Conan the Barbarian appeared in a number of comic books, the two most famous ones were by Marvel Comics and Dark Horse. The Marvel version was hugely popular and in print from the 70s until the year 2000. However, the character depicted there was a pale and comical imitation of the original Conan. The illustration – done by a bunch of artists, the most famous of which are Barry Smith and John Buscema, was pretty good though.
Then in 2003, Dark Horse Comics acquired the rights to the character. And they stuck to the original storyline. Actually, the generally used unaltered Howard's writings for the storyline. Arguably, one can say that this is still the original Conan, just given color by the artists from DH.
So far, there are six main series: Conan, Conan the Cimmerian, Conan: Road of Kings, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Avenger and Conan the Slayer. All are done by different teams of artists and writers.
The cool thing about the storyline is that they chronologically arranged Howard's works. Since, it was originally published haphazardly – a story from Conan's later years, followed by one from his childhood, this systematization was really useful. It gives a sense of completeness, of a beginning and ending, that was lacking in Howard's stories.
While some issues are not bad – graphically speaking, others are just amazing. My favorite artwork was done by Greg Ruth, and these were genesis stories about Conan's childhood and upbringing.
Conan the Terminator (1982)
Conan the Barbarian (1982) is one of my all-time favorite movies! It was directed by John Milius and co-written by him and Oliver Stone. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan and James Earl Jones as his nemesis, the sorcerer Thulsa Doom, the movie also had an amazing soundtrack composed by Basil Poleduris – the perfect score for your next D&D session.
For some reason, very few people take this movie seriously. I guess most have a half-remembered impression of it from their childhood. And this is a pity, since everything is solid: the camera, the script, the music, the scenography and costumes, the fighting scenes, even the acting.
Conan the Barbarian is a story about a young Cimmerian whose village was burned and family killed by an evil sorcerer. He grows up as a slave, becomes a gladiator, and is eventually set free by his owner – maybe in an attempt to ease his guilt ridden conscience. Using his wits and sword-skills, Conan seeks vengeance for himself and his parents.
Now, this guy is based Howard's work, but doesn't follow it as closely as the DH Comics Conan the Barbarian. Originally, Conan's family was not killed by a raiding party. Conan was not brought up a slave – though he was enslaved a couple of times during his adventures. But he has fought a snake worshiping evil sorcerer – Toth-Amon.
But, that is not important. This character has worth in itself. He is consistent, well rounded and charismatic. However arguable his acting abilities are, Schwarzenegger did a really good job here.
The movie had a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, but it was not as good. Actually, it was quite bad – but in that charming way that I spoke of earlier. And Schwarzenegger is supposed to return to the role of the hero from Cimmeria in a couple of years with The Legend of Conan.
The Takeaway
Anyhow, this is pretty much it. So, I didn't go into any of the TV Shows, the cartoons or that gods-bloody waste of a time of a movie from 2011. That piece of crap will feel the sting of my pen in an article all for itself one of these days.
To summarize, the original stories done by Howard were inspirational. They pretty much had to invent a whole genre for his stories because they were so awesome. And a sure sign of their quality is how well they withstood the test of time. They aged perfectly; todays readers will still find them thrilling.
However, the same cannot be said about the whole sword and sorcery genre. Like a flower, it grew, bloomed beautifully, and then wilted. Many writers – such as Robert Jordan, tried to write about Conan the Barbarian, it just never felt right. I guess there was a time and place for the whole sword and sorcery thing in literature and it kinda passed.
But, we have an awesome comic books series and a great movie to keep us company.

New public procurement regime takes effect today
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The new public procurement regime, which should enhance the potential for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to compete for larger shares of Government procurement contracts, takes effect today.
The Ministry of Finance and the Public Service says, with the move, the National Contracts Commission will cease to exist and will be replaced with the Public Procurement Commission (PCC), which will maintain operations from the Offices of the Integrity Commission on Oxford Road in Kingston.
"The PCC will have responsibility for endorsing recommendations for the award of Government contracts, making recommendations to Cabinet for the award of Government contracts as well as registering companies/ businesses desirous of participating in the Government of Jamaica procurement process," says the ministry.
The Public Procurement (Amendment) Act was passed in August 2018.
The new regime will allow for: 'Set-Asides,' which is reserving a portion of the annual procurement budget for MSMEs; and Domestic Margins of Preference, which is the preferential treatment of Jamaican suppliers in accessing Government procurement contracts in specific circumstances.

Dear Friends; As you all know, my PC (Psycho Computer) decided to take a holiday and wig out on me. While I do not take it personally, it did put a crimp in my ability to send out my daily quotations and humor. With that said, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I my PC back, and they were able to restore my Outlook files. The BAD news is that I cannot do anything but look at the files. I cannot send or receive emails, or update the calendar, or even delete files!!! It is like being in a one sided relationship (hum, why does this sound familiar?). Anyway, I am taking my PC to Mr. Notebook. They say they can fix it! While I did get a new PC, my Outlook files are really important to me, and they contain all my quotation info. So, just wanted to say I love you, and thank you for your patience. This saga continues....Jeffrey

Update to the Care Act 2014 (March 2016, DH)
Care Act 2014 Statutory Guidance (Department of Health, 2014)
The legal framework for the Care Act 2014 is supported by this statutory guidance which provides information and guidance about how the Care Act works in practice. The guidance has statutory status which means that there is a legal duty to have regard to it when working with adults with needs of care and support and carers.
On 10th March the Department of Health published the refreshed edition of the Care and Support statutory guidance. The statutory guidance supports implementation of part 1 of the Care Act 2014 by local authorities, the NHS, the police and other partners. The new edition supersedes the version issued in October 2014. It takes account of regulatory changes, feedback from stakeholders and the care sector and developments following the postponement of social care funding reforms to 2020. The guidance is being published as an online document and the new format is intended to be read online and so has improved navigation and search functionality. Not all chapters have been revised and some have only received minor clarifications to improve understanding following feedback from the sector.

The legal framework provided by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 is supported by this Code of Practice (the Code), which provides guidance and information about how the Act works in practice. The Code has statutory force, which means that certain categories of people have a legal duty to have regard to it when working with or caring for adults who may lack capacity to make decisions for themselves.

Making safeguarding personal – a toolkit for responses (Local Government Association, 2015)
The toolkit is set out in a modular format with a summary of key areas. These areas range from models, theories and approaches to skills and areas of specialism that safeguarding practitioners need to be aware of. It can be used as a practitioner guide for pointers on how to respond to individual cases, or as a starting point resource for service development. It has been designed as a resource that will develop over time and allow updates and amendments to be made as development takes place or innovative and effective practice comes to light.
Making Safeguarding Personal – A toolkit for responses (LGA, January 2015)
Commissioning for Better Outcomes (Department of Health, Local Government Association, ADASS, Think Local, Act Personal) (2015)
This guidance outlines standards to support a dynamic process of continuous improvement and, through self-assessment and peer review, to challenge commissioners and their partners, to strengthen and innovate to achieve improved outcomes for adults using social care, their carers, families and communities. The standards are relevant to all aspects of commissioning and service redesign, including decommissioning. The standards have been designed to reflect the improvements that experience has shown are needed, to support the transformation of social care to meet people's reasonable aspirations, and to support the implementation of the Care Act 2014.
Commissioning for Better Outcomes
Government Statement of Policy on Adult Safeguarding (HM Government, 2013)
The document outlines the Government's policy on safeguarding adults vulnerable to abuse and neglect. It includes the statement of principles for Local Authority Social Services and housing, health, the police and other agencies to use, for both developing and assessing the effectiveness of their local safeguarding arrangements. It also describes, in broad terms, the outcomes for adult safeguarding, for both individuals and organisations.
Statement of Government Policy on Safeguarding (DH, May 2013)
Safeguarding – roles and responsibilities in health and care services (Department of Health, Local Government Association, ADASS, NHS Confederation, Association of Chief Police Officers, 2013)
This guidance provides clarity about the roles and responsibilities of the key agencies involved in adult safeguarding. The aim is to ensure that the right things are done by the right people at the right time, working within their own agency and with partners.
Safeguarding Adults – Roles and responsibilities in health and care services
Gaining access to an adult suspected to be at risk or abuse or neglect – a guide for social workers and managers in England (SCIE,2014)
This guide clarifies existing powers and legal options relating to access to adults suspected to be at risk of abuse or neglect where access is restricted or denied. It is intended as a source of ready reference rather than as a learning tool, laying out the potential routes to resolution. It is important that social workers and their managers are as clear as possible on which legal powers or options apply to which situations, and in cases of any uncertainty that they consult their senior managers and/or the legal department of the local authority. Throughout the guide there are inks to information on the relevant legislation and case law.
Safeguarding adults from harm – a legal guide for practitioners (SCIE, 2011)
Prevention in Safeguarding (Social Care Institute of Excellence, 2011)
This guidance outlines a range of methods of preventing the abuse of vulnerable adults, from public awareness campaigns through to approaches that empower the individual to be able to recognise, address and report abuse. In addition, it examines policy and practice guidance and examples of emerging practice.
Prevention in Safeguarding (SCIE, 2011)
Information Sharing Guidance (Department of Health, March 2009)
This guidance supports good practice in information sharing by offering clarity on when and how information can be shared legally and professionally, in order to achieve improved outcomes. This guidance will be especially useful to support early intervention and preventative work where decisions about information sharing may be less clear than in safeguarding situations.

Launching with version 7.0 of the 4TRESS authentication server, it said that the new solution is simple to administer, fully localisable and 508-compliant and will shield banking customers from a host of threats including man-in-the-middle and man-in-the-browser attacks.
It is capable of offering a total of 20 authentication methods that are compliant with FFIEC guidelines and PCI DSS. It supports the latest open standards including: its own mobile, PC and web token; DeviceID (web token SDK); LDAP passwords; Radius authentication; and out-of-band SMS and email (password or verification code).
Grant Evans, chairman and CEO of ActivIdentity, said: "Our new 4TRESS authentication server is strong enough to meet the most difficult of mobile and online banking security challenges and versatile enough to support a full range of devices and methods across a wide spectrum of deployment options.
"We have broadened ActivIdentity's existing platform to create the industry's most convenient and consistent customer experience with flexible pricing and simple implementations.
Julian Lovelock, director of commerce markets worldwide at ActivIdentity, said: "Security risks are quickly multiplying across the enterprise and cyber criminal activity has evolved; the monetary attraction for compromising a computer to steal banking details has never been so tempting.
"As more people turn to the internet for their shopping and banking needs, the industry is demanding solutions which are flexible, and authentication is at the top of the agenda. We have today launched 4TRESS, an authentication server which doubles the number of authentication methods to help banks and other organisations meet the challenges of securing access to online and mobile services."

Finally, Rousimar Palhares has confessed his crime and admitted he has a problem.
The former UFC welterweight came out to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. The 33 year-old grappling specialist still maintains that he did not mean to hurt Mike Pierce though.
"No, I did not want to hurt him," Palhares said. "In the heat of the fight, I did not feel him tap and afterwards, when I watched the fight, I realized that I held on too long, but I really did not mean to hurt him."
Even though he admitted it was an accident, Palhares still didn't say that much about how he planned on changing his habit. To the surprise of many, he still maintained that the incident wasn't his fault.
"I think it has a lot to do with my style, I am really aggressive when I go after submissions," he said. "There have been times where I do not hold on and people get out and then I lose the fight. I am the way I fight. I'm getting better and been working a lot on this, but, this is my style."
Maybe if this was the first incident in which Palhares held onto a submission too long resulting in his opponent being seriously injured, people might have felt sorry for him, but it's not the first time. Palhares has developed a reputation for repeatedly committing this same offense on multiple occasions. Almost 4 years ago at UFC 111, Palhares was penalized a 90 day suspension for committing the same offense against Tomasz Drwal. He has also been known to do this at grappling tournaments as well.
Some may find it challenging to take his apology sincerely, given that he originally blamed Mike Pierce and the referee for the incident. He only admitted his mistake after the presidents of World Series of Fighting and Bellator said they wouldn't sign Palhares because they felt he was a danger to other fighters.

How To Choose The Right Garden Fence
Whether your old fence has seen better days or you're planning to put up an entirely new fence, there can be more to think about than you may first imagine.
The Reflector recently highlighted all the factors to consider when choosing a new garden fence to ensure you get the right one for your needs and your property.
Working out your budget is the logical place to begin – after all, you need to know what you can afford. Anything that involves more craftsmanship, such as wrought iron or ornate woodwork, is likely to cost you more.
That said, there's no harm in calculating roughly how much different options cost, just in case one of the higher-end choices is more affordable than you first imagine. Talking to a specialist about fencing in Somerset could be advisable too.
You also need to think about why you're putting up a fence in the first place – is it for privacy, to prevent your dog escaping from the garden or for purely ornamental purposes? For the first two you're likely to want higher fences, whereas if it's something ornamental you may decide that a much lower fence is preferable.
Another thing to think about before choosing your fence is how much work you have to do to maintain it. The news provider notes that wood fences are more high maintenance than their metal counterparts, because they need regular staining and painting. However, it's much easier to replace a small section of wooden fence than it is of metal fence, so bear this in mind too.
Last month, the Independent urged homeowners to cut small holes in the bottoms of their fences to enable hedgehogs to move freely between gardens. Their numbers in the UK have dropped substantially, and wildlife organisations want people to do all they can to make their gardens hedgehog friendly.

I never thought electronic books, like the Kindle would work for me. I love to read. Finally, when our bookshelves began overflowing - again - I decided to try one. After some research I settled on the Kindle. The type looks just like a book and the pages flip quickly.
And I love it!
I can still buy books by my favourite authors - and they're cheaper! I have also discovered a plethora of free books! I follow Pixel of Ink on Facebook and they give me a list of free books each day! Very cool.
The only drawback is that you can't borrow library books on the Kindle. But, apparently that will change by the end of the year. We bought hubby one after I fell in love with mine. We can actually read the same book at the same time now - and only pay for one copy of the book!
