Remember when it was winter for like. ever? Yeah, me too. So what do you do when it's gloomy and cold out? You go on a hot honeymoon (pun intended) to Grand Cayman. My husband and I got married in March, but took about four weeks to chill before our honeymoon and we timed it perfectly. We left 40 degrees and windy in Dallas and arrived to 80 degrees and blue skies in the Caymans.
The hubby made reservations at The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman on the infamous Seven Mile Beach and upon arrival we were greeted like Harry and Meghan. Check-in was smooth and we were upgraded! Please and thank you. And like we were in a movie with perfect timing, as we turned from the counter to go to our room we were handed complimentary champagne and had our photo taken with a polaroid camera. What is this place?! Wonderful that's what it is.
We had an early morning flight so we were on the beach by 2pm and promptly ordered the popular fish tacos and pina colada from Bar Jack—yes, they're worth it. We decided our vacay agenda approach would be spontaneous planning. It's a thing…sorta. What you do is plan a few things to give your vacay a little structure and then leave room for ideas you get from the locals or places on your list you'd like to go, but don't necessarily know how you'll feel i.e. you have too many pina coladas and just order room service.
Spontaneous planning on day two came at you in the form of a day bed. This, folks, is living your best life. Your room is literally on the beach. You have a bed! And a personal waiter who brings by frozen watermelon. It's what dreams are made of. We would read, swim and then think "hmm, let's go paddle boarding or snorkeling." Which we did.
After a full day of relaxing we thought why not walk to dinner. And by walk to dinner I mean hike to dinner. We thought the restaurant wasn't that far on the map, buuuuut it ended up being a bit further than we anticipated and walking on sand can be hard people. But it was worth it—there were some great photo ops and we saw Santa!
Dinner was delicious at the Marriot a.k.a. The Beach House restaurant, Anchor & Den. We had an assortment of dishes and all were good. I would say the atmosphere is a little odd. It's hipster-type restaurant in the lobby of a family hotel where you see Grandpa riding on his motorized wheelchair while your bearded waiter brings you a craft cocktail. So there's that.
Woke up and thought let's play tennis. So we did. Then it was time for delicious brunch at the resort. Brunching is like an event on the island. There are a lot of options to consider at various resorts and restaurants, but ultimately we opted out so we didn't feel like beached whales.
We got back on the planning train...er boat and went for an excursion the hubby booked with Red Sail Sports. It was a 3-hour boat ride to the infamous Sting Ray City, snorkeling and Starfish Point. There were only about twenty people on our boat which I liked and we spent just the right amount of time at each destination. Just look at that water! I was a little hesitant to do the Sting Ray City re: Steve Irwin, but it was actually really fun and I didn't pee in the ocean from fear…well, maybe a little.
For lunch we went to The Sunshine Grill after a recommendation from a friend. Their fish tacos and mojitos are a favorite and delicious. Oh, and they have free little ice cream cones!
Then it was back to the beach to sleep off lunch before dinner. Beach. Eat. Repeat.
Dinner was our sailing guide's recommendation. It was all you can eat BBQ at The Cracked Conch/Macabuca. It wasn't your typical Texas BBQ, but better: grilled fish, jerk chicken rice, veggies, plantains, etc. The area was beautiful with a rocky coastline that offered a contrast to the smooth white sand of the Seven Mile Beach.
We woke up to a rain storm which was perfect for our spontaneous planned breakfast in bed. The Ritz does it right y'all. Just look at this spread.
With the weather not being the best in the morning we decided to walk to the Harbor and shop a little. There was a cute coffee shop and some stores, but quite underwhelming to be honest. From there we jumped in a $2 cab ride and went to Georgetown for more shopping.
For dinner that night we…bet you can't guess it, we walked to dinner at Coccoloba! This dining destination was a recommendation from another friend. He said it was $5 tacos and live music and we were there. It's the restaurant for the Kimpton resort and was right on the beach with great views.
In conclusion, the Caymans was a dream. It's a small island with big beauty.

Peer Reviews For Programmes and Projects
Posted on 22 March, 2011 by Paul Slater
It doesn’t matter how dedicated your team of programme and project managers are every now and again they can benefit from a fresh set of eyes taking a look at what’s going on. A team that is ‘heads down’ in delivery mode can sometimes suffer from groupthink and perhaps become blinkered into thinking their approach is not only the best but the only way forward. To prevent this from happening and introduce some constructive feedback to the team and client as well, a Peer Review should be undertaken.
A Peer Review is, put simply, a review of a programme or project, by a smallof delivering successful outcomes. Also known as a Project Health Check, they bring together between two and five people (occasionally just one) to look at what the programme/project has been doing and more importantly what it is planning to do during the next phase.
Specifically it is not an Audit in that it doesn’t look to find out what is wrong. Rather, it looks to provide appropriate input to clients and teams that they may wish to take on board to improve their chances of success.
How Long Should a Peer Review Take?
Not long, anywhere between a day and five days should be sufficient for even the most complex of programmes. This way it can be scheduled in from the start, indeed it makes sense to schedule a number during the life of a programme – including at the end.
What Happens in a Peer Review?
This can vary depending on the programme but good practice would suggest carrying out interviews with key team members and stakeholders in-confidence. These take place after the Review Team has had time gain an appreciation of the programme ahead of the Peer Review itself. Holding interviews in-confidence cannot be stressed highly enough as itIf the Review Team or just part of it is drawn from outside the parent organisation then this independence greatly assists.
Once the interviews have been completed the Review Team need to quickly develop their recommendations and produce a Report that can be handed to their Client. The Client in this instance could be the Programme Manager or Sponsor. Providing the relationship between Programme Manager and Sponsor is mature enough both ought to see the output of the Peer Review.
Wherever possible the Peer Review Report with its recommendations (and Points of Good Practice) should be fed back face-to-face. This allows for verbal explanations and discussions thus aiding understanding.
A couple of points about the Peer Review Report itself. It only needs to provide the briefest of explanations of what the programme/project is about and should concentrate on explaining what was found and the rationale for the recommendations it makes. As such, it should be short and to the point, not some tome that sits on a shelf. The Review Team must remember when putting together the report that what they heard in the interviews was in-confidence.
Who Should Carry Out A Peer Review?
Whether it is a very short one day look see with one person or a week with four or five the composition of the Review Team needs to match the context of the programme or project. That does not mean that Subject Matter Experts have to be engaged to fully understand the specifics involved. It does mean that within the Review Team there needs to be an appreciation of type of programme or project concerned and the organisational environment. This might mean having a (suitably experienced and independent) Review Team member from the host organisation.
Peer Reviews – In Summary
Getting a small team of experienced professionals to take a look at how a programme or project is progressing makes sense to most people and is an excellent Return-On-Investment considering the benefits.
Schedule Peer Reviews to coincide with the completion of a phase so that readiness for the next phase can be looked at.
Keep the Peer Reviews short and to the point – 5 days max.
Ensure the Peer Review Team has appropriate experience and appreciation of the environment in which the programme/project is being delivered – and is independent.
Don’ce.
A Peer Review doesn’t have to be arduous for those involved in a programme or project and the benefits of getting independent feedback from experienced professionals can be invaluable.overnance, Healthcheck, Peer Reviews For Programmes and Projects”

Why are meta-search companies taking such a hold of the travel market?How have they influenced purchasing behavior?
How should a hospitality company achieve higher ad positions, better conversion rates, higher ROIs and lower cost per-clicks through a data-driven SEO strategy?
How can individual travel brands, such as hotels and airlines compete in a space in which intermediaries are acquiring new business?
Since 2001, HeBS Digital has been helping hospitality companies shift share from the OTAs and generate the highest returns from the property website and digital marketing initiatives. Having authored numerous articles on the role of OTAs and intermediaries in the hospitality space, including "The OTA Billboard Effect or the Lazy Man's Approach to Hotel Distribution," "Can Hoteliers Take Back the Initiative from OTAs?
"The OTAs have aggressive advertising budgets meant to drive bookings away from the hotelier's property website," said Starkov. "Initiatives such as a strong search engine optimization strategy and dynamic rate marketing, an advertising format featuring real time rates and availability in various advertising campaigns such as banners, meta search marketing, email, and Google Adwords, have already proven to be invaluable in revenue generation and shifting share from the OTAs. In my presentation I plan to provide an overview of the true cost of OTA distribution as well as an action plan to alleviate over-dependence on the OTAs and drive more bookings through the direct online channel."

my nat'l title game scenario...
Thread: my nat'l title game scenario...
The only team that should have any claim to be the National Champion should only be their respective conference champion. Now, before everyone goes off on the last sentence I wrote...
Why punish a team who wins their own conference, with what ever record not be able to play for the national title?These young men work hard enough to just to win their own conference but not be allowed to play for the title. I can think of more than one team that had gotten the screws put to them because of this and it honestly makes no sense. Or for that matter, punish a team for having already beaten the team they played earlier in the season (see LSU/Bama) with the other team not even winning their own conference championship?Now, what about Notre Dame or for that matter any other independents, you say?I figure that if any team wants to make a national title run they should find a conference home and stay there. I personally like the Irish, but any team without a conference is just not right, in my opinion. Never liked the idea that they can assure themselves of a bcs game if they win so many games in a season. Does any other independent teams get that opportunity?Although, you must consider that if two teams from different a conference won their own conference but played one another during the season, then this would eventually go out the window seeing that they both won their own conference. I could only forsee very few, if any of these games during the season that would matter much when it came to the bowl games. I know a lot of people will say: What about the team that is ranked higher and so on?Should this really matter if everything was put into place for the conference champions to play one another?I think not. Teams are ranked because of different criteria, but that doesn't always make them worthy of such rankings. Out of all the years I have been following college football I can come up with more than my share of teams that were ranked, at any point in the season, when they shouldn't have been and some that should have been but weren't...
If the ncaa went back to the way it was before all this big crock of something came about, and let the conference champions play in selective conference affiliated bowls (i.e. the old Big 8/Orange Bowl, SEC/Sugar Bowl...
2. Common opponent(s). If the teams in question have a common opponent(s) that they played during the season, then only that teams' s.o.s. at the time they played one another would come into play and the out come of such when the teams had played them. *Style points should not be awarded as this is dumb as heck!

When you create a new field, it gets created at the bottom of the form (unless you duplicate a field). If I want to move the field to the top of the form, it can take quite a long time to move it, line by line, by right clicking on the field and then clicking Move Up. Is there a better way? I thought I'd be able to drag and drop but it's not working. Is it a browser issue (I'm using Chrome on a Win 10 laptop).

"TThe full length, curative documentary video is free (above). There are NO drugs associated with this instant & permanent cure. It is available 7/24/365. It can be viewed in multiple languages. The cure is available everywhere in the world - now!
Note: Cough aerosol spreads virus, influenza and disease. Cure the cough, and halt the cough aerosol spread of virus, influenza and disease around the world!Cured!
We know that seeing or hearing "cure" sounds quite unusual. You've probably never hear cure with regard to your unexplained chronic cough. It is a most audacious claim!
A permanent cure for acute & chronic cough has so confounded medical and pharmaceutical researchers that they relented on finding a cure, and now, only try to research and develop drugs, medicine & procedures to temporarily suppress it (with only variations on honey and sugar since medieval times) ~ with scant, to no success - ever!Remember - ""
Dr. Weinberger was not content with temporary suppression of cough. He went all in, for an instant and permanent chronic cough cure. He succeeded by creating a cure for the most vicious coughing in children and adults; all around the world ~ by-proxy. If it cures the most vicious coughs, imagine what it can do to all the coughs that aren't so vicious. Now, when a new unassociated cough appears, Dr. Weinberger has received reports of patients "chasing away" their new acute coughs, with previous knowledge of The Weinberger Procedure. More on this as we progress, but he did update his diagnosis to include "acute cough" as part of his cure. This is big news, and as he receives more feedback from parents and adult patients; more medical science be revealed. Normally, when one reads claim of a "cure," it is "fake news," or there is an asterisk or disclaimer hiding in the small print, explaining that is not really a cure after all. We have neither!
You may have not ever heard the word "cure" from your doctor, about your cough. You probably heard them say temporary terms, like "treat", "suppress" & "...
Each and every medical professional witnessing Dr. Weinberger's brilliant curative presentation (for the last 40 years) wishes to meet, and know the man who cures chronic cough in children and adults simply by watching a YouTube documentary (by-proxy). They are mesmerized and utterly amazed. To quote one excited, yet reasonable doctor, "...your video with Bethany is the most historic Skype call in history!"* (All doctors in attendance on the Zoom call emphatically agreed!
Dr. Weinberger's story will be one of the greatest stories that you will ever read. It's said that his is "...like witnessing the accidental discovery of penicillin and capturing it on video, to cure the world of coughing." There will be a new & unprecedented paradigm of curative cough medicine in children and adults, as his Weinberger Procedure by-proxy makes its way around the world and back!
Onward to the video below!
We searched tirelessly for months, hoping and begging for someone to even whisper the word "cure". "Treatment", yes!"Cure" - never - that is, until we read this 1991 peer-reviewed and published study by Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD. It states the word "cure" 4 times. HERE Does your child, or do you, (as an adult) suffer from an unexplained, repetitive, "daytime only", cough?Is the acute or chronic, daytime only, cough absent once asleep (even though it might be difficult to fall asleep)?
Has your doctor only been able to diagnose your cough as a "medically unexplained chronic cough" and provide a "treatment" but never a "cure" for your chronic cough?Have you received no diagnosis at all?
Does the cough return in the morning only to continue throughout your daytime awake hours?Has it lingered while awake (only) for days, weeks, months, years, or even decades?Was  some other illness or stress?Has it been called your "daytime cough"?

When a company or brand is "visual" meaning they can actually show their results or what they offer Instagram is the best social media platform to visually show that off. For example if you are a auto repair shop, Phoenix windshield replacement company, or auto repair shop management software you can visually show your product or the end result.e, too.
T You can also choose to start a live event or a Boomerang or put the app in hands-free mode. More on those options in a minute. To add photos or videos from your gallery, swft side of the screenI'll show you how below.

Refugees in Uganda Need Your Help Now
$1,670 AUD raised of $9,800 goal • 0 donor
Beatriz Guimarães
Fionnuala Collins
Mariana Silva is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Morag Gamble.
The women and young refugees in the Nakivale Refugee Camp need your help now.
Life before COVID was already hard for refugees in the Nakivale settlement, the 8th largest refugee camp in the world hosting over 120,000 people. Starting life over, learning a new language, finding new sources of income, and grieving their loved ones who have stayed back in their country of origin are a few of the many challenges that refugees have to face as they arrive in Nakivale. But since the global pandemic started, their long list of adversities became even longer. Now, they are dealing with an even more significant lack of income opportunities, increasing food shortages, hunger and malnutrition, due to drastic cuts in food rations from the World Food Program.
More than ever before, these refugees need hope. They need to knowThey need to know that education is the way out.
Paulinho Josaphat knows that better than anyone else. HNakivale. He has been experiencing the power of education and is doing something remarkable. In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, Paulinho reached out to Nora Bateson, from the International Bateson Institute, and experienced first hand the impact of education and community-building across borders. After receiving a scholarship to become a certified host of Warm Data Labs - a social technology that aims to create strong communities by "building relationships that build relationships" - Paulinho started noticing that his own way of relating to others was changing. He started receiving feedback about it; people were noticing a different level of openness and warmth as they interacted with him. This gave him hope and strength to make education accessible to others in the settlement.
To help create opportunities and hope for fellow refugees, Paulinho created UNIDOS Social Center, a social innovation lab to help improve living conditions by educating and empowering women and at-risk youth. Despite all of the challenges and lack of access to basic resources - food, health and education - Paulinho found the strength to help others as he is also rebuilding his own life.
Through Paulinho's courage and determination, Nakivale became the first initiative of the 10,000 Communities project that the Bateson Institute is now driving. This led to the creation of a Permaculture training, with the help of crowdfunding by the Warm Data community and the coordination of Morag Gamble, a WD host and award-winning Permaculture activist from Australia (more about Morag's work and her support to the Nakivale refugee settlement in her interview at the Jim Rutt’s podcast ). The purpose of the Permaculture education is to create a regenerative and robust food system of abundance that helps people in the community to become more self-sufficient. Combined with the relationship-building approach of the Warm Data Labs, these trainings address many of their current challenges, by generating nourishing food, reducing paddles that attract mosquitoes and spread diseases, creating cooler and more tolerable living conditions and promoting projects that foster community and social glue.
The Permaculture and Warm Data trainings were an amazing achievement, along with the other educational activities offered to the refugees by Unidos Social Center. But it has also made evident the need for an adequate space where people can gather and learn together, with a minimum level of structure and appropriate social distancing.
UNIDOS needs $9,800 to build a basic training hall (labour and materials), with chairs, desks and basic equipment, buy seeds and sponsor another group of refugees through the permaculture training. The photos of the new building and the training will be posted here and will also be shared on the Facebook page of Unidos.
What Will Your Donations Pay For:
- Tools, seeds, materials and instructors for the Permaculture training ($3,900)
- Cooperative revolving loan fund to help the youth start Permaculture enterprises ($2,000)
- Labour, materials and equipments to build the training hall ($3,900), including
Iron sheets (45 units)
Cement (25 bags)
Nails (30kg)
Stones (5 trips)
Sand (5 trips)
Timber (50 units)
Doors (3 units)
Windows (7 units)
Workforce (6 people)
Chairs (20 units)
Tables (5 units)
White board (1 unit)
Camera (1 unit)
Laptop (2 units)
Donations will be made through the Ethos Foundation in Australia, the charitable organisation created by Morag to support initiatives like this. 100% of your donations will go to this projecttaking the biggest hit with the global pandemic. Helping them access education also means giving refugees the opportunity of a new beginning, increasing their chances

Please consider sharing this fundraising campaign with your family, friends and acquaintanceof Nakivale who will be able to benefit from your generosity. You can share this link to your Facebook timeline or in any way you like.


I kind of doubt that tonight's choice in wine had anything to do with the Canucks' performance, but we were in awe of this wine and the Canucks were pretty awesome themselves on the ice.
At the time I grabbed this bottle, I knew it was a Lt. Governor's Award winner but I didn't know that the '03 Small Lots Syrah was not only the Syrah/Shiraz of the Year at the 2005 Canadian Wine Awards but it was also named Red Wine of the Year at the same competition. Quite the pedigree. Winemaker - and all around good guy - Howard Soon, thought that the 2003 would be a great follow-up vintage to the equally decorated 2002 Small Lots Syrah and boy was he bang on the money.
We were very pleasantly surprised at the longevity of this Syrah. Despite being fully caught up in a very entertaining hockey game, I made a small note on the wine on Delectable and it read, "In awe that this '03 has such staying power. Nose. Fruit. Ripe tannin. Acidity. Length. Yowzah!" I don't make nearly as many notes as I should with the wines we drink but this one was about as glowing as I get. I also guess that, at least on this occasion, my palate agreed with some judges at a couple big competitions involving BC wines. That's not necessarily always the case.
Unfortunately, there were only 248 cases of this Syrah made - and this was our last bottle. When Howard called this a "Small Lots" wine, he wasn't joking.
Finishing the last sips from Boo's and my glasses was a sad event. At least the Canucks played their best game of the series so far and managed a win over the Flames. So, we weren't left crying into our empty glasses. Our boys are still behind the 8-ball as far as the series goes and they still can't lose a game, but they do live to fight another day and we get to open at least one more BC Syrah.


I wanted to be a scientist. I did a thesis on lions. But I realised photography can show things writing can’t. Lions were my professor of photography.
The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 changed my life completely, turning me into an activist. From the air, you see things you can’t see from the ground – you really understand the impact of man, even in a place you know well. My work is meant to convince people we can no longer live like this.
The West has become the world model; developing countries are dreaming of living like us, which is impossible. They should reject our model, because it is not sustainable. Developing countries should even give us the example, but unfortunately that’s not what happens.
Our children think our world will end. It’s a tragic thing. Adults don’t think that. They don’t see that we are eating the planet. But we are. If you take all the biomass of vertebrates on the planet, 98% are men and their domestic animals. All the wild animals in the world make up only 2%.
I never lose an opportunity to speak about my obsession: humankind and the environment.
The key of ‘The Earth from Above,’ and of ‘Home’ is to show the beauty of the planet, and thereby to promote love for it.
One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don’t change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don’t want to believe what we know.
I always take hundreds and hundreds of pictures. I used to work for ‘National Geographic,’ and they gave us a lot of film.
For me, an aerial picture is no different than a close-up portrait. It’s a question of framing and angle. Helicopters are great for that. But I’ve also used planes. Of course, I always have a harness.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings are going to need a bigger boat.
The Shark they’re trying to reel in is putting up a bigger fight than even L.A. imagined — and the Kings knew better than anyone what to expect from their vengeance-minded state rival when this series began.
One game into their Pacific Division battle, San Jose has already stolen home ice advantage and let the Kings know that this is not the same Sharks team that rolled over for them two years ago.
Joe Pavelski scored twice in the 4-3 win and goalie Martin Jones looked very solid in beating his former LA teammates, quieting a Staples Center that said goodbye to Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant a night earlier.
Meeting ffirst time since L.A. came back from 3-0 down to eliminate San Jose in 2014, the Kings and Sharks delivered a wild and wildly entertaining series opener, combining for seven goals, four lead changes and the promise of some spectacular drama left to come.
The Sharks probably should have won by two or three. Take away the two goals they banked into their own net, and the two sure goals Drew Doughty and Dustin Brown stole with goalmouth saves, and the Sharks win in a walk.
But while they’ve drawn first blood, they learned the hard way two years ago that the only thing that matters is who draws it last. So whether they’re up 1-0, 2-0 or even 3-0, they will continue to be asked about 2014 until they can put the Kings away for good.
Still, being up 1-0 beats the alternative. The Sharks, back in the playoffs after missing last year for the first time in 10 seasons, vow to make the most of their return.
Los Angeles made it 1-0 on their second shot of the game, although shot is a pretty loose description of the centering pass that Jake Muzzin accidentally banked in off Sharks centre Tomas Hertl’s skate.
The Sharks came into the series with the No.3 ranked power play in the NHL and showed why early, scoring seconds into their first man advantage to tie it 1-1. Joe Pavelski did the damage with a one-timer from the left faceoff circle.
The pace picked up in the second period with the Sharks and Kings trading punches like it was the last round, not the first.
Brent Burns made it 2-1 off of Joel Ward’s faceoff win, putting a wrist shot through traffic at 6:50, but the Kings got that one back just 40 seconds later when Jeff Carter scored on a double bank shot, bouncing one in off Sharks defencemen Burns and Paul Martin.
After catching their breath in the second intermission they got right back at it. At least the Sharks did. Pavelski scored his seconda goal that stood up for the final 19:43.

My 25 Stimulating Years with DBS in Parkinson’s Disease
“I used to wonder years ago when the anxiety, tension, and pain of the decision ... would disappear. I now know the answer to that question. When? Never – that’s when.”
Irving S. Cooper: The Vital Probe. My life as a brain surgeon (1981).
My mentor Lauri Laitinen (1928– 2005), – the neurosurgeon from Umeå, Sweden, who pioneered the renaissance of surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD) in the mid 1980s by resurrecting Leksell’s posteroventral pallidotomy [1] – wrote in 2003, in his last publication pertinent to PD:
It was the discovery of Bergman, Wichman and DeLong in 1990 [3] that lesions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) alleviated experimental parkinsonism in the MPTP monkey model of PD, that paved the way to target that nucleus with high frequency Deep Brain stimulation (DBS) in humans.
The first paper about DBS of the STN (unilateral surgery in one patient) was published in French in 1993 [4] and the second paper describing three patients bilaterally operated was published in the Lancet in 1995 [5]. However, already in March 1994, at the 11th Parkinson’s Disease symposium in Rome, Grenoble neurologist Pierre Pollak presented the results of DBS of the STN, including a video of the first patients. The late Professor David Marsden, who was present in the audience, publicly stated then that this was “the most important discovery since levodopa” [6]. The honeymoon had begun, and in some respect, it is still lasting. Here I retrace my 25 years of clinical and academic activity in DBS for PD, highlighting its advantages and its shortfalls, as well as providing a critical appraisal of the pertinent literature on the subject of surgery for PD.
The real and universal breakthrough of DBS in STN and in DBS in the globus pallidus internus (GPi) took place following the publication of the worldwide multicenter trial1, which remains one of the most quoted in the field of DBS [13]. This was the paper on the basis on which DBS in STN and GPiething that was eyebrow-raising in that paper, was that in Table 5, describing adverse events, the authors mentioned only one single stimulation-induced dysarthria in the 102 bilateral STN DBS patients and zero dysarthria in the 41 bilateral GPi DBS patients. This startlingly low level of side effects enticed me to write a Letter to the Editor pointing out this lapsus and I concluded my letter stating that “Deep-brain stimulation of the basal ganglia is an efficient treatment for Parkinson’s disease, but this method may lose credibility if its side effects are not properly accounted for” [14]. Today, it is undisputed that dysarthria is one of the main side effects of bilateral DBS in the STN, varying between zero and 97% depending on how evaluation is done, when after surgery and depending of course on electrode location in the target area, among other variables [15– 18].
In a paper from Toulouse published in 2007, the authors evaluated the outcome of microelectrode-guided STN DBS in relation to age of the patients [33]: out of 45 consecutive patients aged 40– 73 years, four patients had symptomatic cerebral bleeding of whom two patients, 71 and 69 years old, “experienced cerebral bleeding and died”. Despite this (in my opinion unacceptable) 4.5% surgical mortality, the authors did not deal with what went wrong at surgery. The issue of surgical morbidity and mortality is ever present in the discussion on surgical technique. I have never endorsed the technique of microelectrode recording (MER) in DBS other than as a scientific tool to be used in a research setting on a limited number of patients, with their informed consent, in order to answer specific scientific questions [34]. This is because the available literature demonstrates that repeated penetrations of sharp microelectrodes along several tracks in the brain do indeed increase the surgical risks including haemorrhage, death, pneumocephalus, infections, as well as increasing surgical time and costs [34– 38], without providing a measurable better outcome in terms of improved UPDRS scores compared to techniques that do not use MER. A meta-analysis by Zrinzo et al. of all DBS publications with more than 40 patients has shown that MER results in far more haemorrhage than image-guided DBS [38]. Indeed, some of those who were most enthusiastic about MER DBS have now abandoned this technique in favour of image-guided DBS performed in patients either awake or under general anaesthesia [39, 40]. The technique of stereotactic MRI-guided and stereotactic MRI-verified DBS that relies on individual imaging of the brain target, and individual imaging of the electrode in situ postoperatively, that I developed in Sweden in the early 1990s, and introduced to Queen Square 15 years ago [41– 44], has resulted in zero surgical mortality in well over 1000 operated patients.
The “logical” conclusion that some have drawn from the fact that younger patients with short disease duration and good response to L-dopa would constitute better candidates for STN DBS, was that STN DBS should be performed at an earlier stage of the disease. Instead of the typical 11– 13 years or more of disease duration before STN DBS [45, 46], Shüpbach et al. from Salpêtrière suggested performing surgery after about 7 years of disease, just when complications start to appear. In a report from 2007 [47], they followed 10 patients operated on “early” for 18 months and compared their outcome with 10 patients on best medical treatment. Only the operated patients exhibited improvement in UPDRS motor scores, in dyskinesia scores and in quality of life (QoL), and were able to decrease their daily doses of dopaminergic drugs by 57%. This led to the famous German-French “Earlystim” multicenter in 2013, with 2-year follow up showing better QoL in STN DBS patients than in matched patients receiving best medical treatment [48]. This study generated controversy with editorials and commentaries. The Editor of Lancet Neurology asked me to provide an editorial comment, in which I wrote: “There is no doubt that in the short to medium term, patients with Parkinson’s disease who receive surgery willremain only on best medical treatment, regardless of disease stage at baseline and even regardless of what kind of surgery they receive (DBS or pallidotomy)” [49]. Given the heterogeneity of PD and also heterogeneity of long term benefit from STN DBS, I also wrote that “We do not know in the long term who will continue to do well and who will exhibit the issues well known to affect patients on long-term STN neurostimulation, such as refractory axial problems (speech, balance, and gait) and cognitive problems.” [49]. I was comforted that my careful attitude towards offering an invasive procedure such as DBS before it is really warranted was supported by neurologists who were the very pioneers of STN DBS [50]
Even more disturbing is the launch at Vanderbilt University of a pilot trial for STN DBS even earlier in the course of the disease [51]. The authors included 30 patients, 15 to receive DBS and best medical treatment, and 15 to continue on only best medical treatment. Patient selection included a diagnosis of idiopathic PD with a duration of disease of more than 6 months but less than 2 years, a Hoehn & Yahr Stage of II when off medication, and the patients should not exhibit fluctuations or dyskinesias. Two of the DBS operated patients suffered “serious adverse events” including one who was left with a permanent deficit following basal ganglia infarction [51]. Despite that, the authors concluded that their study “met its primary endpoint related to safety, demonstrating that chronic stimulation does not produce greater declines in motor function compared to the control group”. In a Letter to the Editor [52] I wondered whether the rationale for this study was to demonstrate that STN DBS does not make people with PD worse? As a functional neurosurgeon who dreads most of all a complication from my surgery, a surgery-related basal ganglia infarction in one out of 15 operated patients who did not even need surgery in the first place, is simply unacceptable.
Even though STN DBS has been, and still is, the most published surgical procedure for PD, it has been debated whether GPi DBS is equally effective [30, 53]. Proponents of GPi DBS, mostly in the US [15, 54– 56], held the belief that it might be more lenient than STN DBS in terms of behavioural side-effects, while maintaining the same efficacy. Since efficacy on motor symptoms has been the main driver for the use of DBS, a multicenter study was designed to test which of the two procedures, STN DBS or GPi DBS, is most efficient for PD motor symptoms. This randomized trial [57] showed that both procedures showed similar results at 2 years, with 25– 28% improvement in the off-medication state, rated on the motor part of UPDRS. This surprisingly modest improvement is by any standard suboptimal, especially for STN DBS, compared to earlier work. Incidentally, this reported 25– 28% improvement was in fact very similar to the extent of improvement in randomized studies on [58– 60].
Another issue that caught the attention of our team was the gender distribution of PD patients undergoing surgery. It started by the observation that among all patients operated for PD at Umeå University Hospital since the start of the Neurosurgery department in 1969, men were twice as many as women regardless of surgical procedure (thalamotomy, pallidotomy or DBS). This led to a 1999, focusing on gender distribution of PD patients undergoing stereotactic surgery. Regardless of the geographical origin of the publication and the surgical procedure, there were at least twice as many men with PD who had surgery as women [61]. A subsequent further review of more recent literature (2000– 2009) limited to STN DBS showed similar results [62].
THE LONG-TERM RESULTS OF DBS
Publications describing long term outcomes of surgery for PD are scarce. In 2001, I published the first report on very long term (10 year) results of pallidotomy [63]. The main conclusion of that paper was: “The long term effect of posteroventral pallidotomy (PVP)” [63]. Indeed several studies have described “striking similarities” between pallidotomy and STN DBS at very long-term follow-up [64] with progress of “axial and akinetic symptoms”, “cognitive decline” and ”comorbities” [65– 67]. These were mainly attributed to progress of the disease with appearance of non-dopaminergic features, while DBS still provided good control for other symptoms (see below).
FUTURE OF DBS FOR PD
Perhaps the most exciting advance for the future of DBS in PD will be the ability to provide closed-loop “on demand” stimulation. Abrain target, guided by the physiological state of the patient, will enable stimulation to be supplied only when required to “block” the pathological neuronal firing responsible for the cardinal symptoms of the patient. Our group at Queen Square [73], demonstrated that when the typical 130-Hz stimulation is applied in a fluctuating PD patient who happens to be in a good ‘on’ state thanks to medication, the performance on finger tapping scores deteriorates slightly, whereas when that patient is in an off motor state, STN DBS results in improved tapping scores. In other words, STN DBS can negatively interfere with ‘well functioning basal ganglia circuitry’ when the fluctuating patient is in a clinical status that does not ‘need’ DBS at that particular time. The findings of that study suggested that ‘on demand’ DBS, aka “adaptive DBS” (i.e., DBS triggered by the level of pathological local field potential Beta activity) would be a more effective way of delivering stimulation. This theory has subsequently been tested in a collaboration between our group and Peter Brown’s group in Oxford, showing that in the acute phase, during the first few days after surgery when the electrodes are externalised, an adaptive stimulation triggered by the Beta activity of the STN was more efficient than conventional stimulation, and with a 50% reduction in stimulation time a[74]. Our further experiments with adaptive DBS showed that it can improve both axial and appendiculars [75], as well as reduce side effects such as dysarthria, compared to conventional continuous stimulation [76]. It remains to be seen whether these highly preliminary results, obtained during a short time frame in experimental settings of adaptive stimulation a few days after surgery, will remain valid during chronic DBS and in the long term.
With over 150 000 patients operated on worldwide, DBS, especially DBS in the STN, is by far the most popular surgical procedure for PD. However, it must be kept in mind that the great majority of PD patients worldwide who would need surgery have no access to DBS. This is mainly due to financial reasons, but also due to the decline of ablative stereotactic surgery such as pallidotomy even though it has been shown that unilateral pallidotomy does not harbour more complications than DBS [77, 78].
DBS for PD is here to stay and it will continue to fascinate scientists and clinicians alike. A PubMed search performed on February 3d, 2017, using the search words “deep brain stimulation” and “Parkinson’s disease” yielded 3731 articles. If “deep brain stimulation” is associated to “subthalamic nucleus”, the PubMed search provides 2992 papers. This is a testimony of the scientific importance of DBS and of the STN, and indeed the 2014 Lasker– DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award honouring Alim-Louis Benabid and Mahlon DeLong stated explicitly that it was delivered to them to “honor”.
Despite the several decades of activity in DBS for PD, many controversies are still not resolved, many developments of the technique are being trialled and many challenges remain. Notwithstanding these, the fundamental issues of PD remain: How to tackle the progress of disease, especially the L-dopa-refractory axial symptoms, affecting speech, gait and balance, and the cognitive decline? In the meantime, the improvement brought by DBS to the quality of life of many patients is beyond doubt, and DBS and other surgical procedures, can be invaluable in treating motor and other symptoms due to the nigrostriatal degeneration, allowing the PD patient to enjoy an extended period of good quality of life.
For me, DBS, especially DBS for PD, represents a happy marriage between neurology and neurosurgery. In 2003 I baptised the child of that marriage: “Interventional Neurology” [8].

CLEMENT, APPELLANT,v.CLEMENT
Appeals 1182, and Jan. T., 1965, No. 2194, in cases of Charles H. Clement v. L. W. Clement et al., and Same v. L. W. Clement et al.
Marvin J. Apple, for appellees.
Harold A. Gold, with him
Charles and L. W. Clement are brothers whose forty year partnership has ended in acrimonious litigation. The essence of the conflict lies in Charles' contention that L.W. has over the years wrongfully taken for himself more than his share of the partnership's profits. Charles discovered these misdeeds during negotiations with L.W. over the sale of Charles' interest in the partnership in 1964. He then filed an action in equity, asking for dissolution of the partnership, appointment of a receiver, and an accounting. Dissolution was ordered and a receiver appointed. After lengthy hearings on the issue of the accounting the chancellor decided that L.W., who was the brighter of the two and who kept the partnership books, had diverted partnership funds. The chancellor awarded Charles a one-half interest in several pieces of property owned by L.W. and in several insurance policies on L.W.'s life on the
ground that these had been purchased with partnership assets.
The court en banc then heard the case and reversed the chancellor's decree in several material respects. The reversal was grounded on two propositions: that Charles' recovery could only be premised on a showing of fraud and that this burden was not met, and that the doctrine of laches foreclosed Charles' right to complain about the bulk of the alleged misdeeds.
We disagree with the court en banc's statement of the applicable law and therefore reverse. Our theory is simple. There is a fiduciary relationship between partners. Where such a relationship exists actual fraud need not be shown. There was ample evidence of self-dealing and diversion of partnership assets on the part of L.W. -- more than enough to sustain the chancellor's conclusion that several substantial investments made by L.W. over the years were bankrolled with funds improperly withdrawn from the partnership. Further, we are of the opinion that the doctrine of laches is inapplicable because Charles' delay in asserting his rights was as much a product of L.W.'s concealment and misbehavior as of any negligence on his part. In all this we are strongly motivated by the fact that the chancellor saw and heard the various witnesses for exhausting periods of time and was in a much better position than we could ever hope to be to taste the flavor of the testimony.
The Act of 1915, March 26, P. L. 18, part IV, § 21, 59 P.S. § 54, very simply and unambiguously provides that partners owe a fiduciary duty one to another. See also P.L.E. Partnerships, §§ 71, 91, 93. One should not have to deal with his partner as though he were the opposite party in an arms-length transaction. One should be allowed to trust his partner, to expect that he is ...


At 8.30, and a nice force 3 breeze wakening the senses, things were looking positive. Kev Hall, last year's champion, was already there waiting for us to open the gates. And with a quick greeting I headed off to unpack and assemble the boat, thinking that it's all there. Hmmm ......unfortunately not!
The sun came out for the second race and the wind dropped to a force one gusting two at best, the Race Officer got us off at the first attempt again, and we all set off playing snakes and ladders. First around the windward mark was Jonny Woodward, oh........no it wasn't he went the wrong way!
On the start line I got a roasting from Kev Hall for a light coming together (see the attached footage lol) so off I went to do my turns, also getting in the way of Maria E. Franco, more turns, Oh my I'm last!
Me and Maria, obviously both miffed, managed to work our way up the fleet, I ended up 10th and beating Tony Hodgkiss ha ha, Maria, now with a new vigour for not coming last ended fourteenth. Very well done!

I learned masses of fascinating facts about skulduggery while I was writing this book and even had a play with an Enigma machine.
Spectacular Special Effects
Special effects have fascinated me for years so the research for this title was huge fun. I even went backstage at Phantom of the Opera. The book explores the effects used on stage as well as those you see on screen, and it includes ideas you can use in home videos and school plays.
Designed to capture the excitement of invention, this picture book tells the story of how Edison recorded sound for the very first time. This book is faction - fiction based on fact.
When I wrote this book, I was aiming at pony-mad children everywhere but especially those who have no chance of ever owning a pony or even of having riding lessons. It was a mix of information, puzzles and activities with the emphasis on fun.
This book is out of print, but much of the information is now available again in my pony anthology, Perfectly Pony.

Feb. 16, 2009 There seems to be a slew of green teen contests kicking off this week, along with National Engineers Foundation Week, and ‘Introduce a Girl to Engineering’ day on Feb. 19.
For the first time ever, kids are ‘burnin’ down the house’ with ideas and innovation to pitch renowned PBS hub WGHB for 3 to 5 minute youth videos on how climate change affects kids’ own community environs, vying for $2000 production grants and potential PBS airing.
Partner org Teachers Domain makes it a cinch for students to get up to speed with factoids and resources too. The inspiration for the teen contest? The Frontline documentary, “Heat” all about global warming and businesses’ reactions in the court of public opinion contributing to make or break success.
Deadline for entries at WBGH is March 15, 2009.
It seems rich with opportunities for creativity…and I’m sure it will be poignant.
Google Webmaster and original Doodler Dennis Hwang began the tradition when he was an intern in 2000, and be…Sin.
More on that and the ‘Dirty 30’ ingredients to watch for in teen cosmetics too…Stay tuned…we’re testing all the products for ‘faves and raves’ to boot! I’ll write about it for Eco Child’s Play as well, (a variation of this article appeared there too) as it’s SUCH a worthy org with an important media message that industry needs to hear Teens Turning Green loud and clear. SO inspiring!
 I’ve since completed many other environment-related artworks, if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Thehas said that Srinagar Mayor Junaid Mattu plan of forced retirement of the employees who have completed 28 years of service in the municipal corporation is unacceptable.
Mattu who again took over the reins of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation after he won a vote of confidence last month said that he is seeking enactment of provisions of Article 226(2) to weed out deadwood from the SMC.
The tweet evoked strong response from the largest employee body of the J&K.
Rafiq Ahmad Rathe, said the Act mentioned by Mattu cannot be used arbitrarily.
“SMC employees have been working in extremely tough and adverse working conditions. Article 226(2) should not be and can’t be used arbitrarily at one’s will,” he said adding that employees of SMC have been doing tremendous work whether in winter or summer.
Shah Fayaz, president J&K Employees Coordination Committee termed it an attempt to make lower rung employees a scapegoat.
“Lower rung employees are always scapegoats of the system, employees of SMC proved in any situation, 2014 floods 2020 …Covid Mayor sahab start same exercise from administrative level,” Shah tweeted in response to Mattu.
Last month the Jammu and Kashmir government had decided to prematurely retire an employee, the first such case in the newly formed union territory, over a month after framing new rules to fire government employees after he/shattained 48 years of age.

I did find that setting the below statement (line 946 in spyderlib/spyder.py) to False (keep self.ipyconsole to None) does get spyder started but without ipython console of course:
"        if IPYTHON_QT_INSTALLED and not self.light:

Once the spyder is started, reversing the code back does not matter unless I do another "spyder --reset". Something is wrong with the ipython console setup. I use python as substitute to matlab, so this is as far as I can go. Hope it helps.
I am happy that I have the spyder back up again, but still looking forward for a fix to get ipython consoem. You need to properly install IPython, qtconsole and Spyder to their latest versions to have everything working correctly.

Revenue for the financial year increased 9% to A$3.8 billion driven by higher year-on-year grain prices and slightly higher tonnes traded by CBH Marketing and Trading. CBH said this was partially offset by lower grain handling and freight revenue.
Jimmy Wilson, chief executive officer, said the A$128 million Group surplus before rebates was a good result from the business, which had focused on improving service for growers as well as reducing costs during the year.
In the 12 months to the end of September 2018, CBH invested A$212 million into network capital and maintenance.
Wilson said the Operations and Marketing and Trading business units each contributed strongly to the Group surplus before rebates, with Operations reporting a A$91 million surplus before rebates, and Marketing and Trading recording a A$51 million surplus before rebates.
“Since starting operations in 2015, CBH Fertilizer is now profitable following solid growth during the year, primarily driven by confidence in the product, a wider product range and quicker site turnaround times,” Wilson said.
Interflour reported its first loss since CBH acquired its interest in 2005, however, the business has begun utilizing a turnaround plan to return to profitability, with the support of CBH.
Looking ahead, Wilson said CBH was well positioned and would keep its focus on finding efficiencies within the supply chain and continue delivering the Network Strategy.

“Shoulder my yoke”. For centuries these words of Jesus are encoded in the sign of the priestly stoal. By putting it on neck, the priest inserts the yoke of Christ. The yoke of responsibility for the faithful, but also the yoke of his own faith. Yes, faith is also our cross. Anyone who has experienced doubts or any other difficulties in prayer knows what I am talking about. The main issue is how we approach the Christ yoke. What should we do, so it does not overburden us?
The prayer has three distinct parts. It begins with thanksgiving. Jesus declared himself grateful to his Father for revealing himself to the little ones. He is thanking the father for the success of his mission, and there is already a lesson for us in this. He makes it clear that the Father himself rejoices that he has been understood by the little ones. This preference of God for the little ones is a reason for Jesus to give thanks, and he thanks the Father also that his own personal mission has not failed.

media captionThe family of Alesha Macphail say their daughter dreamed of being a YouTube star.
The mum of a six-year-old girl, who was killed while on holiday on a Scottish island, has revealed the little girl was desperate to be a YouTube star.
Alesha MacPhail was found dead after disappearing from her grandmother's home on the Isle of Bute on 2 July.
She wants people to remember Alesha for who she was, not her tragic death.
"Once again we  we are so grateful to every single one of you."
The video has had more than 15,000 views so far, with over 80 heartfelt comments and tributes.
Her mum wants as many people as possible to watch the video, to fulfil her daughter's wishes of becoming a hit on her favourite channel.
The schoolgirl, who teachers described as a "happy, smiley, considerate child" was laid to rest in North Lanarkshire on Saturday.
Hundreds of mourners wore pink to remember Alesha, who.


I'm hoping to see a better result tonight...I was going to say better performance, but I prefer results.
The Milwaukee Brewers (54-37) look to even their three game series with the Miami Marlins (38-55) tonight in South Beach, and look for a solid performance from Jhoulys Chacin (7-3, 3.63) to give them a solid chance. The Marlins are reputed to be a very good fastball hitting team, and last night's results would seem to confirm that, so off speed and breaking balls will hopefully keep them at bay. Pablo Lopez (1-0, 5.73) starts for Miami.
On the other hand, sommight have made Josh Hader's relief outing more palatable. But Milwaukee looks to be emphasizing defense over offense tonight...Tyler Saladino is hitting fifth, Erik Kratz is catching, and Lorenzo Cain is out of the line-up.

Here are the basic elements of the Mediterranean diet.
Any diet that promotes heart health advises you to consume fruits and vegetables because they decrease the sensitivity of individuals to cardiovascular problems.
Fruits and vegetables help provide a feeling of fullness; therefore, they can help lower your body mass index (BMI). In addition, they provide the body with a myriad of micronutrients. Evidence suggests that fruits and vegetables have many antioxidants and flavanols. Unlike red mea increase the blood pressure of middle-aged men.

The Mediterranean diet is considered to promote healthy living. Seafood became part of this diet because the countries of origin were located near the sea.[3] The wealthy in this region from the earliest days preferred fresh fish that was taken out of the sea and grilled or fried in olive oil. They ate seafood, especially oysters, raw or fried.[5]
Moderate consumption of seafood is known to have health benefits. Seafood is abundant in amino acids, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. Polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids are also found in seafood, and this compound is not present in terrestrial organisms. These functional constituents of seafood help reduce the risk of arteriosclerotic and thrombotic disease.[6]

These nutrients have a positive impact on health and increased consumption of whole grains has been shown to decrease the sensitivity of type 2 diabetes by about 20% to 30%.
Consistent consumption of whole grain cereals and their products helps reduce the risk of colorectal polyps, colorectal cancer and other cancers that can develop in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas or cancers that are caused by certain hormones.

½ large bread (whole grain)
½ cup cooked cereals (whole grain – cracked wheat, oatmeal, quinoa)
½ cup cooked barley, brown rice and pasta (whole wheat)
½ cup corn, peas, potatoes, peas and sweet potatoes
Dairy products should be consumed at low to moderate levels during a Mediterranean diet. The consumption of dairy products should mainly consist of cheese and yogurt.[9]
One serving means 1 ounce of low-fat cheese or 1 cup of fat-free skim milk-based yogurt.
Small portions of red meat eaten from time to time may be associated with certain health benefits.[14]

In moderation, red meat can also help maintain weight since its consumption is linked to satiety.[18]
You should eat less than two servings of red meat per week, one serving being 1 ounce of meat.

The Mediterranean way of drinking means drinking regularly but moderately with food, about two 6-ounce glasses per day for men and one 6-ounce glass for women. Controlled consumption of wine can make you less prone to cardiovascular disease and does not increase the risk of cancer. It can also add years to your life.[11]
Note: Include red wine in your meal plan only if you drink alcohol. If you are not already drinking, do not start drinking just for health reasons or otherwise. Avoid consuming any other alcoholic drink other than red wine.
Meal plan for the Mediterranean diet
If you are following a Mediterranean diet, each meal should consist of the following foods.
½ cup cooked cereal or pasta / 1 slice of bread (whole grain)
½ cup raw / cooked fruits and vegetables

In a study on certain British subjects, it has been concluded that consumption of lean and fatty fish lowers the risk of diabetes.[16]
3. May be useful for cancer patients
All these elements can contribute to the anti-cancer (in particular for breast cancer) diet.
More complete evidence is needed to examinebreast cancer. However, women sensitive to breast cancer may be advised to follow the Mediterranean diet. Patients with breast cancer may also be recommended to slow the development of the disease.[17]
The Mediterranean diet offers as many advantages as those mentioned, but there are also some disadvantages to following this diet. These include:
1. promotes obesity
Although the Mediterranean diet generally meets your nutritional needs, there are certain specifications which they do not meet. In the majority of Mediterranean diets, calorie intake comes mainly from fat sources. Therefore, diet can cause obesity.

Myth # 1: The Mediterranean diet is not easily affordable.
Myth # 2: If 1 glass of wine makes your heart healthy, then 3 glasses means three times the health benefits.

Also, remember that the results of dieting are not instant. You will need to diet regularly if you want to see the desirable changes.
Expert responses (Q&A)
Answered by Mme Amy Gorin (registered dietitian and nutritionist)
It is certainly possible. Search, can be useful for weight loss.
In the study, elderly people with type 2 diabetes or at high cardiovascular risk followed a Mediterranean diet, as well as additional additional nuts; or a low-fat diet. About five years later, all subjects had lost weight. People eating extra olive oil lost the most weight!(19)
Definitely yes. Unlike many fashionable diets, the Mediterranean diet is more of a lifestyle change and is easy to follow. There is a reason why this food style has been around for a long time. Eating vegetables, fruit, fish, olive oil, nuts, beans, legumes, a moderate amount of red wine and dairy products is a sustainable way to eat!

Also, the manuals are of such high quality, and contain so much instruction of how to use the statistical tools, that to me they're more like a series of statistics texts. And no one would suggest that a textbook writer also distribute the book in PDF form. So I think we'll have to live with the paper manuals for the time being.

Any idea why this is behaving this way?
In much the same spirit as earlier suggestions:
The mean ages given were 28.8 and 29.4 (presumably years) for the two
classes. That sounds like a difference without clinical significance,
although I am no clinician, not a woman, and not even significant.
However, it is also likely that the means are hiding important details
in the distributions. For example, I would expect skewed distributions
for mothers' ages -- and the skewness I might guess to differ between
the two modes of delivery. General knowledge underlines a range from
<<20 to >50 years.
Although I have much faith that Student's t test works well even if
you lie to it, skewness sounds like an area for investigation..

This week's book giveaway is Gilded Age by Claire McMillan. Here at the blog, I've already championed this novel--a contemporary take on Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth—a couple of times.: "McMillan's debut novel, inspired by Edith Wharton's House of Mirth, is a hard-edged look at the vacuous, insipid elite of modern-day Cleveland, Ohio. Ellie Hart, back home after rehab and divorce, quickly falls into her old ways, charming men in her search for a wealthy husband, and alienating women."
When I was writing my novel Gilded Age, which is inspired by Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, I wrote most of it in bed in the mornings....
79-word "Squirrels"
I got up at 3:30 a.m., microwaved a cup of coffee, then went downstairs and wrote three short stories. I'm not bragging, just stating the facts. Would it make a difference if I told you those three stories were each 79 words long?And would you believe me if I told you I agonized over those 79 words as much as--maybe even more than--a 7,900-word story?


Is?
 Would you rock up on a first date and tell them sometimes your knee hurt so much you couldn’t walk? It doesn’t really seem like something they need to know straightaway does it?
Recently I met someone I thought was it. He ticked every box and I smiled from ear to ear after each date. I have to admit I thought this blog would be a very different one, however for a reason still unbeknown to me it ended abruptly before it really got the chance to get going. However, as my self esteem took another knock, it brought out aspects of my health I had been trying to suppress.
Normally, I tell people about my mental health fairly quickly, there’s no point in hiding it and it gives you an honest reading of that person with the way they react. Even though I’m painfully shy, and incredibly self critical, years as the sober girl in the room have taught me how to fake confidence, so on initial dates, I’m confident and sarcastic. I doubt people jump to the idea that I have mental health problems right away. Still, when I met someone I thought was particularly special, I found myself hiding my Mental Movement posts from my Facebook page. So, why was I hiding aspects of my personality and my life I was so proud of. Writing and helping the Mental Movement girls is something I love to do, but here I was scouring my social media for any evidence that I could suffer from an illness.
I have to stress, I’m not embarrassed of my past and my battle with mental illness, but I suffer from such extreme issues with self esteem that with every other problem my brain was throwing at me, I convinced myself that this guy would run a mile if he found out. I became obsessive about my flaws, every element of my boxed off self esteem issues came spilling out, I lay on my stairs sobbing, hating every inch, detesting every thought, ripping every element of my personality to shreds. Nothing I did or had was good enough. Suddenly this wasn’t about whether or not to tell someone about my mental health issues, but about why I was having such an awful period.
Seemingly, I had been in an extremely unhealthy place without realising it, and this embarrassment about who I was, was just a small step into it. My Mum forced me to take stock, and some time out, realising it was nothing to do with my love life, work, money or any other external stress but simply a part of my illness I hadn’t seen coming that floored me.
It turned out it didn’t matter anyway, he disappeared, but it left me wondering when was the right time to share our battles. Is there a right time? Would the right person for us just accept this as a part of our personality? I have no idea, and am still to find the right person to tell, however I recently put out a celebratory post about how far I’ve come with my battle, I received hundreds of acknowledgments and messages on Facebook and Instagram, and in a twist of fate, the guy messaged me. To tell me he suffered from Anxiety. So maybe, we should try and stop our persistent and cruel self analysis, and try try try to remember that everyone has their things. Easier said than done generally, let alone when we add in mental health issues, but if as you start to spiral down you need to remember one thing, remember this. You are enough.
