Against antimicrobial resistance risk, duration of most antibiotic courses exceed guidelines
Against risk of antimicrobial resistance, mostly duration of antibiotic treatment exceeds recommended guidelines.
The duration of antibiotic treatment generally exceeded the recommended guidelines, and most of the excess days were due to respiratory conditions, where 80% or more of antibiotic courses exceeded guidelines, according to a new study. The study in The BMJ today has revealed that many antibiotic courses prescribed for common infections treated in English primary care exceed the recommended guidelines.
Overuse of antibiotics not only puts patients at risk of side effects but also adds to increased antibiotic resistance levels. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat and this kind of behaviour of prescription is unwarranted. AMR is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. Without effective antibiotics, the success of major surgery and cancer chemotherapy would be compromised. The cost of health care for patients with resistant infections is higher than care for patients with non-resistant infections due to longer duration of illness, additional tests and use of more expensive drugs.
Treatment courses were 1.3 million days beyond the duration recommended by guidelines, with most excess days due to treatment for respiratory conditions.
Previous studies have found significant over-prescribing of antibiotics in primary care in the UK and elsewhere, write the authors. And overuse of antibiotics adds to increased antibiotic resistance levels, and puts patients at risk of side effects, they say.
But there has been little research on reducing antibiotic overuse by cutting back on prolonged treatment.
So to explore this, researchers from Public Health England (PHE), University of Oxford, and Brighton and Sussex Medical School compared the durations of antibiotic courses prescribed for common infections in English primary care with the guidelines recommended by PHE in 2013.
They used data from general practices contributing to The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database between 2013-2015, including only prescriptions for oral antibiotics linked to one of 13 conditions, including acute sinusitis, acute sore throat, acute cough and bronchitis, pneumonia and acute cystitis.
They excluded chronic and recurrent conditions, as well as repeat prescriptions.
During this time, 931,015 consultations for the 13 common conditions led to antibiotic prescriptions, making up 20% of the total antibiotics prescribed for any condition. The most common conditions were acute cough and bronchitis (386,972), acute sore throat (239,231) and acute otitis media, a middle ear infection (83,054).
The duration of antibiotic treatment were generally not in line with guidance and most of the excess days were due to respiratory conditions, where 80% or more of antibiotic courses exceeded guidelines.
But only 1 in 10 (9.6%) of acute sinusitis prescriptions were longer than the recommended seven days. And for pneumonia 1 in 12 (8.1%) of prescriptions were longer than the recommended 7 days. However, more recent guidance recommends shorter durations for these conditions, the authors say.
For conditions where guidelines recommended longer durations, the proportion of prescriptions beyond the recommendation was significantly lower than for conditions where guidelines advised a short duration.
And although fewer prescriptions exceeded recommended durations for non-respiratory tract conditions, still more than half (54.6%) of the antibiotic prescriptions for acute cystitis among women were for longer than recommended.
There was significant under-treatment for acute prostatitis (inflamed prostate) and acute cystitis among men. For example, over half (52.3%) of courses were shorter than the recommended 28 days for prostatitis and nearly a third (31.8%) of cystitis treatments were under the suggested 7 days.
This is an observational study and the researchers point to some limitations, including that some prescriptions may have been incorrectly linked to certain conditions in the study. And they can't rule out the possibility that some of their findings may be due to other factors that might underlie decisions to prolong treatment.
But the authors say the results were similar when restricting the analyses to patients without underlying conditions. And for most conditions, three quarters or more of the prescribed antibiotics were mentioned in treatment guidelines.
The findings indicate "substantial scope" for reducing antibiotic prescribing through better adherence to recommended durations of treatment, they say, but "highlighting the magnitude of this issue is only the first step," they conclude.
In a linked editorial, Alastair Hay at the University of Bristol comments on the "growing evidence base informing policy on antimicrobial stewardship."
"Both clinicians and patients may need convincing to abandon longer courses of antibiotics, and future campaigns by Public Health England to "Keep Antibiotics Working" could usefully emphasise that when antibiotics are needed, shorter courses are sufficient to kill bacteria and less harmful than longer courses," he concludes.

From Future Wife To Future Mother
I did promise myself not to touch this subject any more on these pages (and I lasted one post) but I couldn't resist linking to the above video by the (in my humble opinion) illustrious Megan Wyatt. In her last two talks she managed to both crystallise exactly what I've been trying to say as well as present these thoughts to the fairer sex in a much more diplomatic way, and this video is a nicely presented, short and accessible overview of all of that.
I won't compromise the video by talking about it in detail and how it relates to what I've said, so please have a look yourselves. And try to ignore the blurred out talking face. It's a bit creepy.

She shouldn't be doing anything. Women should not be seen, heard or even read.

That's because you are a mature and responsible Muslim man, the type that Muslim sisters would like to marry.

Beauty and the Beast pantomime cast members in town
PUBLISHED: 11:11 04 October 2019 | UPDATED: 11:29 08 October 2019
Alan Davies
Cast members were out and about in Stevenage for the launch of this year's Gordon Craig Theatre pantomime Beauty and the Beast.
Beauty and the Beast opens at the Stevenage theatre next month, and performers from the panto visited Knebworth House, the Cromwell Hotel and the Gordon Craig Theatre on Wednesday for the show's press launch.
The GCT's festive production will once again star Stevenage's favourite pantomime Dame, Paul Laidlaw.
Having appeared in panto at the theatre for over 30 years, he will play Dame Dotty Derriere in the family show this Christmas.
Beauty and the Beast is produced by Jordan Productions, the same team behind last year's award-winning production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which won best panto in its category nationally.
"It's always nice to get prizes and recognition, especially when it's from within the industry," said Paul.
As for this winter's production, Paul said: "Beauty and the Beast is becoming more popular as a panto since the Disney movie.
"It's got all the elements of a panto. It's got a love story, it's got a goodie, it's got a baddie, it's got comedy.
"It's got all the things that you need."
He added: "I don't doubt that because it's in Chris Jordan's hands it will be a very lavish and very spectacular, and a very funny piece."
Comedian Aidan O'Neill is also back by popular demand.
He will play Dame Derriere's son, Potty Pierre, who will cause chaos at the chateau.
"Collectively, me and Paul have probably done close to 40 years in panto at the Gordon Craig," said Aidan.
"He's done the lion's share, obviously!"
Aidan, who also appeared at this summer's Todd in the Hole Festival on the outskirts of Stevenage, loves spending Christmas in the town.
Rehearsals start next month and Beauty and the Beast promises to be a family panto full of oh là là-ughs!
"We want people to walk away from the show and think, 'oh, that was a good show', but also there were set pieces that they really laughed hard at," said Aidan.
"We want mums and dads to laugh as well as the kids."
He added: "I think parents enjoy looking at the kids laughing, and the kids enjoy looking at their mums and dads laughing.
"I think the dads come expecting they will just be the chauffeur, driving everybody to the panto, and they enjoy it more than most people."
Former EastEnders, Hollyoaks and Holby City actress Carli Norris will be this year's panto villain, Malevolent.
Soap star Carli, who played Belinda Peacock in EastEnders, said: "I'm obviously the evil part of the pantomime.
"I am the person that turns the handsome Prince into the Beast, and I'm wickedly jealous and don't want anyone to have a nice time.
"So I spend the entire time basically making people's lives hell."
Carli met her fellow cast members for the first time this week.
She said: "From what I've seen, I love them all. We are all making each other laugh.
"It's a nice, small tight company and we're all very different and we all get on very, very well.
"So I'm looking forward to the panto."
Rebecca Vere will play the good fairy, Fairy Formidable.
Of her part, Rebecca said: "She's French and she's kind of crazy, a bit mad and speaks in a very good French accent."
This will be her first appearance at the Gordon Craig in panto, but Rebecca added: "I've done Jordan Productions before, this will be my fifth one for this company, so I'm familiar with their shows."
Appearing as Beauty will be Grace Lancaster, with Alex Scott Fairley as Prince Gallant.
With choreography once again by Britain's Got Talent sensations Twist & Pulse, Beauty and the Beast will open at the theatre in Lytton Way on Friday, November 29 with the show running until Sunday, January 26, 2020.
Tickets for Beauty and the Beast are on sale now, with some performances already sold out.

One of the great pleasures of visiting Beijing in winter is going out for a spicy lamb hot pot to fight off the freezing cold. The hot and noisy atmosphere in the restaurants helps to raise the spirits further. This is the China that I love to experience, with everybody sat round the tables merrily chatting, eating, and drinking after a hard day's grind at the office. Nothing can beat it!
AI has been the most popular subject of conversation among the people I've been talking to here. Although they recognize the negative impact that the aggressive implementation of the technology will have on white-collar and retail jobs, most see AI as an inevitable trend that should be embraced as soon as possible in order to drive economic development and boost China's global competitiveness. In other words, now that the AI train has left the station, the best approach is to hang on for the ride than press the emergency stop button!
Indeed, with its huge smart phone user base, aggressive industry players and startups, and a raft of government policy initiatives supporting the development of AI, China is extremely well placed to lead the world in the implementation and proliferation of the technology and its related applications and services. Just as important, its tech-savvy population provides the perfect test bed for trying out new innovations and fine-tuning them to meet specific market requirements based on the analysis of all the collected data. As a result, it's going to be very challenging for other countries to generate similar momentum behind AI innovation.
Retail (and the logistics processes that support it) will no doubt be the most visible segment for the development of AI application services as companies like Alibaba and jd.com aggressively roll out cashierless stores throughout China this year. I wouldn't be surprised either if the restaurant sector embraces the technology almost as quickly to optimize demand forecasting processes, table reservation management systems, and recipes for dishes. Perhaps one day AI will even be able to top the hot pot dining experience I had last night – though given how much I enjoyed it I have no idea how that would be possible.

The primary goal of cooperative/mutual insurers is to manage risk in order to build a better world – from safeguarding the environment, to providing stability in communities, from helping businesses develop, to protecting individuals and the families they love. It is also their duty to look after the people who help build the business and support its values on a day-to-day basis: their employees. Without committed, loyal, effective employees, businesses cannot develop and thrive.
In this edition of Strategic InSights, ICMIF examines the rationale for investing in employee programs which go above and beyond regulatory or legal requirements, considers the current socio-economic challenges facing businesses which strive to become "employers of choice", and presents a snapshot of how cooperative/mutual insurers are differentiating themselves from their private, shareholder-owned competitors based upon their principles.
It includes the results of a brief survey conducted among selected ICMIF members, including analysis of areas in which the sector is performing well and those in which further effort may be required.
The paper concludes with some views on the future challenges for cooperative/mutual employers and the approaches that managers should continue to focus on in order to make an optimal contribution to employee well-being.

China: Still The Factory of The World?
In the past few years, people can't seem to stop talking about the development of the Chinese market, China's growing middle class and their eagerness to buy foreign products. Just five to ten years ago this was completely different. At that time you couldn't read any article about China without reading the words: 'China, the factory of the world'.
Does this mean that companies aren't sourcing products from China any longer? On the contrary, despite rising costs and salaries, a lot of raw materials, components, semi-finished and finished products and equipment are still coming from China today. Almost any product you can think of will probably still be made in China. Obviously, for certain products (e.g. apparel) China had already become too expensive many years ago, which caused an increasing number of foreign buyers to start sourcing products from other South-East Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand, etc. Nevertheless, China still has a huge production base, only the types of products being sourced have changed in the past 10-15 years.
China has moved up the value chain at breakneck speed, stimulated by the government's policies and tax regulations. Product quality and efficiency, driven by innovation and automation, are now key drivers to the sustainable growth targets of the Chinese government. A lot is still to be done, but nowadays you can already buy products from Chinese manufacturers which have the same or even better quality than products made in Europe. In fact, certain products aren't even made in Europe any longer, take for example LED Lights or solar panels, which have never really been produced in Europe in the first place (or not in big volume).
That doesn't automatically mean that all products from China are of good quality though! When you buy products from Chinese suppliers, the same challenges apply as several years ago: finding the right supplier(s) and screening of your supplier(s), negotiation of the prices and payment conditions, difficulties in communication and cultural differences, intellectual property issues, quality assurance and quality control, logistics, etc. Before you engage in sourcing from China you need to take a lot of things into account, such as your feasibility study.You need to look into the manufacturing cost of your product, including the production lead times, transportation means and costs, import duties, etc. When you have a clear understanding of every single detail, then you can decide whether to work with a sourcing agency or do the sourcing yourself.
But in the end it's always the same: a lot of potential problems can be avoided if you take your time to visit your Chinese suppliers, build a good relationship with them, communicate clearly what you want and check your products during and after production. And not to be forgotten: don't forget your common sense when you buy products from China and don't do anything you wouldn't do in any other country.
By the way, did you know that nowadays you can pay your Chinese suppliers in RMB? On 16 October 2018 Horsten International will organize a seminar about "Sourcing from China & Payment to Chinese Suppliers in RMB" in Brussels, together with Ebury and the Belgian-Chinese Chamber (BCECC). More information can be found at the following link: CLICK.
Horsten has a lot of experience in the sourcing of products manufactured in China for export to Europe. Moreover, on behalf of foreign companies, Horsten's Chinese representatives regularly execute quality controls and on-site inspections of raw materials, components or finished products from Chinese suppliers.
Horsten's scope of services are comprised off:
- Identification and screening of qualified potential Chinese partners
- Contract negotiations and legal assistance
- Assistance in technology transfers from European to Chinese enterprises
- Collection of technical and commercial offers
- Negotiation of terms and conditions
- Quality assurance and quality control
- Trouble-free and integrated supply chain management (coordination of the issuance of purchase orders, follow-up, acceptance, logistics, etc.)
- Liaison services and problem solving
- Permanent monitoring of the market in view of efficiency optimizations and strategic restructuring.

Vice President for Health Policy
When Vice President Pence travels to Kentucky this weekend to make the case for House Republicans' Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal bill, he'll presumably echo President Trump's claim that the ACA is failing in that state. Kentucky's an odd choice to make that claim: it's seen the sharpest drop in the adult uninsured rate of any state under the ACA, from more than 20 percent in 2013 to less than 8 percent in 2016.
Some Republicans, including Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, have suggested these coverage gains don't count because a large share of them is due to the ACA's Medicaid expansion. As Bevin argues, "If you have a Medicaid card, but you can't find a doctor that will see you, how does that Medicaid card help you? … [A] piece of plastic doesn't make you healthier."
Fortunately, Kentucky's Medicaid expansion has been among the most carefully studied of any state. The research shows that the hundreds of thousands of Kentucky (and Arkansas) residents who've gained coverage are indeed finding doctors, getting health care, and becoming healthier.
In a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers compared changes in access to care, financial security, and health outcomes for low-income adults in Kentucky and Arkansas, which expanded Medicaid, with changes over the same period for low-income adults in Texas, which didn't. They found that expansion led to:
And gains have risen over time. In particular, improvements in self-reported health were small (and not statistically significant) when measured in 2014, the first year of expansion, but doubled in 2015.
Unfortunately, Kentucky's Medicaid expansion is doubly at risk. The House Republican ACA repeal bill would effectively end the expansion across the country. And even absent congressional action, Governor Bevin's proposed Medicaid waiver would, if approved, lead 86,000 Kentuckians to lose coverage after five years, based on the state's own estimates.

Here's another half dozen new pieces of Diablo 3 artwork, taken from the big batch of photos I took of the Blizzcon Art Gallery. There's a variety of eye candy in this update, including a mysterious (and sadly blurry) flying fire-demon-thing. I also like the concept art of the population, wagons, and architecture of Caldeum, but my favorite is the full version of the Barbarian seen in closeup in the official Blizzcon artwork.
I love this image, which we saw on life-sized posters in the media interview rooms at Blizzcon. Let's hope Blizzard releases this one in full digital quality at some point, since this photo doesn't do justice to the great detail, especially of the Diablo (?) skull underfoot. And what's that leaning, chain-draped tower behind the Barbarian? Better image quality, plz.
Update: It's been pointed out that this poster was sold in the Blizzard Store at Blizzcon. Perhaps someone who bought one will be good enough to scan it and post it for all to see?

There are not many things I hate about being self-employed but doing the books probably comes top of the list. When I first started freelancing, I was really organised and sat down on the last Friday of every month to enter everything into my accounting programme and file invoices and bills. A look back through some of this blog's earliest entries shows that even a couple of years ago I was still relatively in control of the paperwork.
And then it all started to slide. Part of the problem was I never quite got to grips with the software - there didn't seem to be a massive incentive to keep struggling with it, especially as my accountant doesn't use it and is quite happy to just take a file of paperwork off me. So about a year ago I just gave up on it completely, but I kept putting off starting up a simple spreadsheet instead. It helps that I have a good memory for keeping track of which clients have paid up and I log into my bank account several times a week to look at what's going on there.
This year, I've not even filed the paperwork, just slung it all into a box folder as it was generated. But there's nothing like a deadline to galvanise you. Armed with the certain knowledge that my accountant will be on my doorstep bright and early tomorrow expecting coffee and a neatly bundled package of admin to take away, there was only one option.
And so, dear reader, I spent my entire afternoon wading through the box file and attempting to make sense of all my expenses (the invoices are pretty straightforward). I quickly discovered that a lot of bills that arrived by email I'd not printed off, then I had to peer at fading till receipts and scrawl notes on them so my long-suffering accountant knows what I spent money on.
Finally, it was all done. Everything is in date order in a lever arch file, neatly sorted into income, expenditure, bank statements and "other".Tomorrow my fairy godmother will start waving her magic wand and a few weeks later she will have filed my tax return for me and printed off a full set of accounts for me, including a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and all the rest.
She's worth her weight in gold. And she's tax-deductible.

Airlines are cancelling flights to Italy after the government in Rome put the country into lockdown on Monday evening.
British Airways, Ryanair, and Norwegian Airlines all announced flight cancellations on Tuesday, in response to the coronavirus lockdown across Italy.
The Italian government on Monday night put the entire country into lockdown in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Public spaces such as museums, schools, and pools will all be shut until further notice and Italians have been told to travel only for work, health, or emergencies.
BA said it was cancelling flights to and from Italy from today until 4 April. The airline said it took the decision "in light of the Italian Government's announcement and the UK Government's official travel advice".

"We have updated our policy to give customers more options and flexibility," a British Airways spokesperson said. "Any travellers due to fly to or from Italy between now and 4 April can rebook to a later date up until the end of May, move their destination to Geneva or Zurich or receive a full refund."
Travellers who require a refund can get in touch with the airline on 0800727800 with the details of their bookings.
Ryanair is cancelling all flights to Italy between 14 March and 9 April. Passengers stuck in Italy have until Friday to rebook on the final flights out of the country.
"Ryanair apologises sincerely to all customers for these schedule disruptions, which are caused by national government restrictions and the latest decision of the Italian government to lock down the entire country to combat the Covid-19 virus," a spokesperson said.
Norwegian Airlines said in an update on its website it was "in the process of cancelling some flights as we adapt our schedule in accordance with the latest restrictions in Italy", without giving details. Norwegian said it was contacting affected customers to offer them refunds or rebooking options. The airline is also waiving fees for changing some bookings.
Italy is facing the biggest outbreak of Covid-19 outside China. 9,172 cases have been recorded and 463 people have died from coronavirus in Italy, according to figures compiled by John Hopkins University.

The global epidemic of novel coronavirus has caused huge disruption to the global travel and tourism industry.
EasyJet (EZJ.L) and Ryanair (RYA.L) have both cut back on service in the face of slumping demand and regional UK airline Flybe last week blamed coronavirus as it went bust. Virgin Atlantic has admitted it has been flying "almost empty" planes in a bid to keep airport slots, the BBC reported.
Norwegian said Tuesday it was cancelling 3,000 flights globally and laying off a "significant" proportion of staff in the face of slumping demand.

The tiny volcanic island of Ustica - measuring just 3.3 square miles is an oasis of peace and tranquility one and a half hours by hydrofoil from Palermo (two and a half hours by ferry).
About the Island of Ustica
Unspoilt by tourism, Ustica's magnificent sea beds are protected as a natural marine reserve, capturing an abundance of life in its clear turquoise waters. This can be best experienced on the aquarium boat with its glass bottom or by taking a local boat round the island visiting the numerous grottos along the coast. It is, not surprisingly, a paradise for scuba divers and snorkellers.
Ustica, named Ustum (meaning burnt) by the Romans, was so called for its black lava rock which is in contrast to the green vegetation we see today and the rich soil which produces a very good rosé wine grape.
The island has a small, pretty town perched above the harbour and along with its little restaurants and cafes it houses an underwater archaeological museum.

Hey there sentient being and WELCOME to my Blog –
My very very first blog –
My Maiden Blog as it were …
and while I already feel more youthful envisioning being able to say in earnest …. "I have my own blog" and "sorry I can't right now, … I need to write my Blog" … and "In my blog the other day I said blog blog blog …."
Truth is ….. I'm not a blogger type guy …
I am like a one liner guy.
"If you're not part of the solution, keep stirring." -H
That's more my speed.
Its much less commitment – like a conceptual one night stand ….
get a laugh…. Maybe…. Get deep perhaps, or get weird and then keep moving …
Much less messy than a blog… with archives … and images … oy vey ….
and the official pressure of having to say something blog worthy.
I have never read a blog, I looked at a few but was too ADHD to read it,
…. I liked some of the pictures…..
But then again, I do digress, as this is suppose to be a warm greeting with clear message that despite how just-ran-out-of toilet-paper shithouse my blog may in fact be, you feeling welcome to it is the most important thing.
I want you to know that at least.
So a few hundred different online sources curiously all define what a blog is (word for word) as follows:
[& My personal comments in these type brackets]
"Blogs, or Web logs, are online journals"
[What ? a journal ??? noooo – like to follow a timeline? like "for breakfast I had …" … ridiculous …. That already occurred …. It's past ….]
"that are updated frequently"
[well that ain't going to happen… what part of Musician don't they understand??]
"sometimes even daily."
[Your trippin' now – I am lucking if I floss every 3rd day …. ]
"An update, (also called an entry or a post) is usually quite short"
[now we're talking]
"perhaps just a few sentences"
[how about just one line ?]
"and readers can often respond to an entry online"
[Why don't they just think about what THEY had for breakfast instead….?].
"People who write blogs are commonly called bloggers"
[and I guess that would make you a … blogee?? ]
Anyways ……
what I think is best in this situation and a strong
suggestion is that my potential blogees simply lower
their expectations….. and perhaps drastically.
On the bright side, I have no plans to blog for blog sake… daily or to keep up with the Blog-Jones's. Fuck that.
If inspired or bored I will write as the writing comes.
I believe it will be a better bad blog that way.
I may not write the blog that makes the whole word sing…But as the protagonist says (repeatedly) in the movie Defending Your Life
"I'll do the best I can".
Thanks for reading and again

Norse network
Scandinavian firm Ericsson and Finland's Nokia have signed deals with the Saudi Telecommunications Network to expand the kingdom's mobile phone network. It had been thought that troubled American firm Lucent had won the contract, but this latest announcement has quashed the rumours.
Instead of being dominated by America, Saudi Arabia will be going all Scandinavian later this year when two of the biggest telecom companies in the world come to town to expand the kingdom's mobile phone network.
Sweden's Ericsson, which recently halted handset production in order to concentrate on infrastructure development, and Finland's Nokia, the largest handset maker in the world, have both signed up with the Saudi Telecommunications Company, which refused to reveal the total cost of the contract.
However, a spokesman did say that the new contract will provide "a maximum of 2.8 million lines at an average cost of $243 per line by the end of 2002."
According to the spokesman, the two European companies were also handed "framework contracts" to supply STC with equipment.
Last month it was widely reported that infrastructure giant Lucent had won the contract, but neither STC nor the troubled American firm ever confirmed the rumours.
Back in June, STC awarded the contracts for an extra 450,000 fixed lines, and again refused to be drawn on the sums of money involved. However, industry insiders valued it at around $320 million.

The Princess lets well alone 39
of running up alone and asking whether she might bring her nurse. She believed the fact that she could not otherwise convince her she was telling the truth, would have much weight with her grandmother.
The princess and her nurse were the best of friends all dressing time, and the princess in consequence ate an enormous little breakfast.
"I wonder, Lootie "—that was her pet name for her nurse—"what pigeons' eggs taste like?" she said, as she was eating her egg—not quite a common one, for they always picked out the pinky ones for her.
" We'll get you a pigeon's egg, and you shall judge for yourself," said the nurse.
"Oh, no, no!" returned Irene, suddenly reflecting they might disturb the old lady in getting it, and that even if they did not, she would have one less in consequence.
"What a strange creature you are," said the nurse—"first to want a thing and then to refuse it!"
But she did not say it crossly, and the princess never minded any remarks that were not unfriendly.

A move to rename the US-backed Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala as the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has no legitimacy, the Chinese official media has said.
"Neither the Chinese central government, nor any other national government has recognised it, (Tibetan government-in-exile) as the legal representative of Tibet. Calling itself the central Tibetan administration does not alter this fact," the state-run China Daily said.
Alleging that Lobsang Sangay, the Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile was elected with US' support, the paper said, "The CTA's new leader Lobsang Sangay could not have become the chief Kalon (Prime Minister) without the support of people in the United States, who are eager to see the man they cultivated work for their interests," it said.
"The Dalai Lama openly doubted him at first and only started supporting him later as he cannot afford to ignore the US. Sangay, a Harvard graduate and former activist of the radical separatist organisation Tibetan Youth Congress, lacks any understanding of the real national conditions of China and its Tibetan region," it said.
The article's criticism of the Tibetan Youth Congress followed a barrage of accusations by officials charging it of orchestrating the recurring self-immolation attempts Tibetan youth both home and abroad.
The article written by Hua Zi, a scholar from state-run China Tibetology Research Centre also questioned the move to rename the exile government as CTA.
"Sangay has had a hard time since he became the leader in April 2011 of the CTA, the new name adopted by the so-called government in exile, so he probably thought that the ridiculous speech he gave on March 10 would improve his image with his US backers".
The CTA has "no legitimacy at all", it said, adding that the Tibetans and Hans, the majority community of China have "political and kinship ties" since the days of Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907).

Thanks! I have never tried any of his yet, so sounds like The Pelican Brief would give a good glimpse
I know what you mean about being pulled in my famous books. I assume I won't like them, and then often, to my surprise, I really enjoy reading them! No shame in that, I always encourage people to read, no matter what it is; to each his own. I've read only a few Grisham, but too bad he's lost his lustre 🙂
I've only managed to read one of the legal thrillers – can't remember which – but I did enjoy Camino Island which is of a different genre, still a thriller but without the legal stuff.
My first encounter with Grisham was his short story Skipping Christmas which I bought as a gift for my father some 20 years ago, and snuck a read before I wrapped it. It's the not very serious but highly entertaining tale of an all-American middle-aged couple who decide to save money by not 'doing' Christmas at all, and to use the proceeds to go on a New Year cruise instead. Well, events and the season of good cheer inevitably catch up with them… This story placed Grisham in my mind as someone who can spin a good yarn, but even so, I haven't yet felt tempted to grapple with any more of his legal novels.
I read one or two of his books — The Firm for sure, maybe The Pelican Brief. Legal thrillers have never been a big draw for me. As far as I recall, the movie adaptations were good.
Oh, I hope you wouldn't give up JG, yet! His are always up and down, but you'll find some gems if you're patient and selective enough. My favorite is The Chamber and The Testament. And don't forget his most famous one: Time to Kill.
I know what you mean about the change in focus, but I've heard some very interesting things about his work to expose the corruption of the American criminal justice system and the class-issues which are too often swept under the proverbial rug. He's quite often a guest on literary podcasts and I've heard quite a few but don't remember details about the cases he has presented/discussed.
All I've read in recent years (though, like you, I gobbled up those early thrillers) are essays and short pieces, so I'm not commenting on the quality of the later work myself, but I wonder whether he might not still be a very fine storyteller but, perhaps, less concerned with the writing and tight crafting that used to hook us in so dramatically? But, then, we do change as readers too, so maybe we were just more easily thrilled back then? 😀


text: Wireless & IoT Blocking Internet cost Egypt at least $90M: OECD Martyn Williams @itworldca Published: February 3rd, 2011TOKYO — The Egyptian government's five-day block of Internet services cost the national economy at least US$90 million, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said Thursday.The Paris-based organization said telecommunications and Internet services account for between 3 per cent and 4 per cent of Egypt's GDP, so the daily loss amounted to around US$18 million.The Internet block was lifted on Wednesday, but it might be much longer before the true cost of the government's action on the economy is known.By cutting telecommunications links, the government severed links between domestic and international high-tech firms and the rest of the world. As a result, the OECD warned, Egypt could find it "much more difficult in the future to attract foreign companies and assure them that the networks will remain reliable."Egypt's major Internet service providers stopped routing traffic just after midnight local time on Friday as protests against the rule of President Hosni Mubarak gathered momentum in Cairo.In minutes the amount of Internet traffic flowing between Egypt and the rest of the world was reduced to a trickle, according to monitoring by Massachusetts-based Arbor Networks."We have never seen a country as connected as Egypt completely lose Internet connectivity for such an extended period," said Craig Labovitz, chief scientist at Arbor Networks, on the company's security blog."Unlike periods as recent as a decade ago, governments of technically developed countries cannot disrupt telecommunication without incurring significant economic cost and social / political pressures," he said.Gregg Keizer of Computerworld U.S. reported that To restore the country's connections, Egyptian Internet service providers (ISPs) apparently re-configured their core routers so that they once again announced their presence, letting upstream providers and other networks reestablish data pathways."It was pretty much similar, except reversed, to what happened last week ," said Vancouver's Andree Toonk, the founder and lead developer of BGPmon, an open-source tool for monitoring BGP, or "border gateway protocol." BGP is the protocol at the heart of the Internet's routing mechanism, and is used by routers to share information about the paths data traffic uses to "hop" from one network to another as it moves from a source to its destination.The speed with which the networks reconnected was evidence that rather than physically plugging in cables, Egypt's ISPs simply began advertising their availability to other networks' routers using BGP, said Toonk."That, and the fact that it all happened at the same time shows the disconnect was probably not physical," said Toonk. Nor was the restoration today. "Everything was restored in about half an hour," he said.According to Toonk's monitoring, the first BGP announcements for Egypt began at 9:30 a.m. UTC, or 11:30 a.m. local time. The start time Toonk cited was 4:30 a.m. ET and 1:30 a.m. PT in the U.S.Internet monitoring company Renesys also pegged the reconnect time for the bulk of Egypt's networks at around 30 minutes. Others said it took longer than that. "It wasn't quite as abrupt as last week," Labovitz told Computerworld. "It took from a half hour to an hour."The quick restoration of service also meant that the Egyptian government had likely ordered the digital blockage lifted, said Toonk, just as it forced ISPs to go offline last week.Some ISPs and sites remained accessible outside Egypt during the five-day outage, said both Toonk and Labovitz, who were wary of assigning a reason for their survival when most of the country went dark. "There were a few percent of Egypt's ISPs, maybe four to five percent, that were left online," said Toonk. "Why they remained online, I don't know."

Investment market update
Early Trading
UK stocks are expected to open flat this morning amid a pullback in oil, and with investors eyeing a string of corporate results from companies such as Royal Dutch Shell and J Sainsbury.
World Markets
Asian stocks traded lower, following an overnight slump in oil prices. Oil prices fell overnight on renewed fears of a supply glut. According to industry data, output from Middle East producers jumped last month and may continue to rise in the short term.
UK and US stocks fell after a survey indicated more weakness in the Chinese economy. UK Shares in Anglo American dropped 12.8%, Glencore fell 8.0% and BHP Billiton declined 6.2%. Among the US banks, shares in JP Morgan Chase fell 1.9% while Goldman Sachs was 1.8% lower.
Business Secretary Sajid Javid has ordered the Insolvency Service to investigate the collapse of UK department store BHS. It comes as former owner Sir Philip Green agreed to appear before two Commons committees to answer questions about the collapse. Sir Philip sold BHS to Retail Acquisitions last year for £1, but has faced criticism about his role.
Donald Trump, the billionaire real-estate developer who has upended the rules of modern campaigning, became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday after driving his top challenger, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, from the race with a crushing Indiana primary win. The victory sets up a likely all New Yorker presidential general election between Trump and Hillary Clinton, who remained on pace to secure the Democratic nomination even after a surprising loss to Senator Bernie Sanders in Indiana.
The government must stop putting off the 'difficult' decision to expand Heathrow Airport rather than Gatwick, a Commons select committee has said. The arguments over increasing aviation capacity in South East England have 'changed little in a quarter of a century', said the Transport Committee.

I'm really bored
I think I'm coming down with something. My sinuses are acting up. I'm sneezing and I'm a little moquiento. Yuck. I took a Zicam, but I didn't have a chance to check the exp. date on the box. Those things taste horrible and yet I eat them not knowing whether they will be effective or not.
I'm stuck in a rut over the next scene I'm working on that involves some highly sophisticated communication interaction between an editor and a freelance writer. I wish I knew more about this kind of thing, but it looks like I'm at a point where I have to do some research by reading journalism boards where striving writers are anxious to find work in these harsh economic times. I would rather research the effect on journalism blogs are having since that's been something people have been discussing in news and stuff. Really, I'm just lazy. Research is a real bitch sometimes.
While I consider myself having researched the mothman occurance and how the hell something like that ever made it to the printing plate, it was easier to identify which search results would lead me nowhere and which search research were getting me closer to understanding the publishing business. Truthfully, if I want to avoid all that, I must just put a cork on the screenwriting creativity until I finish reading about Hearst. That's going to take awhile because the second installment to the Millennium trilogy is almost available. I'm now number 5 on the waiting list. But, considering part three won't be released until October 2010, that would be plenty of time to finish a book with ten thousand pages in it.

Bernhart Associates' Employment Q1 Survey Released: 2011 Starts Off Strong; Hiring to Rebound
Owatonna, MN, January 18, 2011—Digital and direct marketers are planning a surge in hiring this winter with agencies leading the way, according to Bernhart Associates' Quarterly Digital and Direct Marketing Employment Report for the first quarter of 2011.
"I expected a bounce, but nothing like this, which is very encouraging," said Jerry Bernhart, Principal of Bernhart Associates Executive Search, LLC, which conducts the quarterly employment survey. "This is the most positive quarterly improvement we've ever seen in the 11-year history of our quarterly survey."
The following are key findings from Bernhart Associates' Quarter 1 (Q1) survey:
• 52 percent of companies responding to the survey said they plan to add to staff in Q1, up from 41 percent last quarter (Q4).
• 16 percent of respondents currently have a hiring freeze, down sharply from 35 percent in Q4.
• The percentage of companies planning layoffs in Q1 dropped to 4 percent, compared with 8 percent in Q4.
• 63 percent of agencies responding to the survey plan to add staff, with none planning cutbacks and only one agency reporting a hiring freeze.
Survey results show that marketing hiring budgets are still being pinched on the client side, which are lagging the agencies and service providers in planned hiring. But Bernhart notes that nearly one out of every two marketers still will have positions to fill in the current quarter.
"Business-to-business hiring plans outpaced business-to-consumer, and also reported fewer expected layoffs and hiring freezes," added Bernhart.
Bernhart said that while direct marketing staffing in the coming year may not reach the boom levels seen prior to 2008, he expects hiring to continue building momentum in 2011, noting the following key trends:
• Digital and direct marketers are revising upward their projections for 2011 as margins improve and demand picks up, creating the need for more headcount.

"Doing it for the 'gram" dominates huge swaths of the travel landscape these days. People are voyaging to far-flung (yet wildly popular) destinations more than ever — funneled to a prescribed set of spots by Instagram influencers. We're throwing down the cash to get that sunrise shot at Petra or the Pyramids of Giza or above Machu Picchu, and that's great. We're traveling! But we're also over-taxing some very delicate ecosystems, local populations, and old infrastructure.
The Uproxx crew is always on board for you to travel more. But in an age when huge populations are becoming wealthier (Russia, China, India) and traveling is cheaper and easier than ever, we have to travel more wisely and respectfully. Iconic beaches on well-worn Instagram trails are being shuttered due to over-tourism. The effect of this is threefold. Locals lose out on employment and the money that tourism reaps. The environment is f*cked by too many people trampling through for that "perfect" Instagram post. And, when places are ruined, we all lose out on experiencing something magical.
It's time to start thinking about expanding your tourism (and Instagram) horizons and being a little more intrepid. The thing is, the earth is freakin' massive. There are so, so many amazing places to see. With that in mind, we thought we'd list some of our favorite destinations on the planet — each one every bit as awesome as more touristed locales. We'd also like to point out the added benefit of blazing your own path and being a true original instead of following what literally everyone else is doing.
One quick caveat here. When we offer an alternative destination, we are not saying that the original destination is somehow lacking or not worth seeing. Over-touristed destinations are packed for a reason — they're spectacular. We're making this list to give those places a chance to breathe and recover from the millions who tax it daily. Please don't stop going somewhere just because so many people already do. Just think about whether it's right to go "right now." Then maybe consider one of these spots instead.
MADA'IN SALEH, SAUDI ARABIA (3,900 Instagram posts)
Alternative to Petra, Jordan, 722,813 Instagram posts.
Mada'in Saleh is a mythical place in the middle of the Arabian Desert. Around 2,200 years ago the Nabatean Kingdom carved 131 tombs into the rocks around Al Madinah Region of Saudi Arabia. This is basically exactly what you get at Petra in Jordan with about a millionth the tourism.
Of course, there's a big reason that Petra is over-touristed and Mada'in Saleh is not. Saudi Arabia has a notoriously draconian visa policy for most people from the West. That being said, scoring a visa is not impossible for the country. And, if we've learned anything in all our travels, the places that are a little harder to get to are the places worth the effort.
SULAWESI, INDONESIA (872 Instagram Posts)
Alternative to Bali, Indonesia, 40,215,808 Instagram posts.
Indonesia is fabulous. The island nation has over 20,000 islands to choose from in a space larger than the continental United States. Yet, for some weird reason, people tend to focus almost solely on Bali (it could be Islamaphobia, as this is the only non-Muslim island in the chain).
Sulawesi has so much to offer. Its pristine beaches are untouched. That's not hyperbole. There are miles and miles of postcard-perfect beaches in Sulawesi with no one on them. You can go there and have an island to yourself.
Granted, the tourist infrastructure is a little more basic in this part of Indonesia. But that's what makes it that much more rewarding and fun. Plus, there are still resorts and touristy stuff all over the region. It's just that little more remote, a little more chilled, and (if you like those qualities) a little more magical.
FAROE ISLANDS (251,585 Instagram Posts)
Alternative to Iceland, 8,459,652 Instagram posts
There's no denying a big reason Iceland has blown up recently is due to WowAir's amazingly cheap flights and layovers to Europe from America. It's also a wondrous place. With a little more effort you can go to an equally wondrous place with far fewer tourists clogging the highways, bars, and hot springs — The Faroe Islands.
The Faroe's are an absolutely breathtaking outcropping in the North Atlantic. The culture is unique. Nature and wildlife are lush. This is a place that looks and feels, for lack of a better term, epic. The nearly black rock walls rising from the gnarly seas are covered in flocks of puffins, sure-footed sheep, and the greenest grass you'll ever see. Go! Eat whale. Hang out with the locals. Take that epic insta for your feed.
VERONA, ITALY (32,015 Instagram Posts)
Alternative to Rome, 19,123,656 Instagram posts.
Italy is so varied and full of wonderful hidden gems — sitting right alongside some of the most touristed corners of the globe. Millions flood into Rome every month to see the big sites and, again, that's great. But, you're going to be waiting in lines to see those big sites — sometimes for hours in the baking sun. There's a small city up north where you can get a lot of what you get in Rome without the lines or throngs of tourists: Fair Verona.
Verona isn't Rome. We're not trying to say it is. But the city does offer so much of what you want from Italy. There's a great food scene that's way more local and accessible (and a little cheaper). There's more than enough history with castles, churches, and cobbled lanes. There are touristy aspects, like the whole Romeo and Juliet scene.
Then there's the Arena. Verona has an awesome coliseum that's straight out of Roman times right in the middle of the city. The big difference — and what gives Verona the edge here — is that this arena is still 100 percent functional. You can actually see a show here and sit right on the seats Romans did 2,000 years ago. It's fantastic.
GDAŃSK, POLAND (603,064 Instagram Posts)
Alternative to Prague, 12,249,918 Instagram posts.
Prague has dominated the European backpacker trails for well over two decades now. The neo-classic and baroque architecture, gothic cathedrals, deep history, and copious amounts of great beer have drawn generations to the city. And… holy shit is that city packed to the point where on some days it's hard to walk through the old town. The thing is, most of Central Europe is just like Prague: There's similar architecture, plenty of Gothicness, similarly intense history, and great beer all over the region. That's why it's time to hit Gdansk.
Gdansk's history might even rival Prague's as it was the infamous Free-City of Danzig before the Nazis took over. Then it was destroyed in WWII and ethnically cleansed of all its Germans (over 90 percent of the population). Later, the city became the heart of the Polish revolution, freeing itself and Poland from the yoke of Soviet rule. The architecture is as stunning as anything you'd find from Riga to Prague. The beer flows freely and the food is a fantastic mix of Baltic seafood and Central European comfort food (think smoked salmon and all the pierogies).
Gdansk has one huge advantage over Prague: The Baltic Sea. Gdansk has three huge beaches five to 30 minutes from Old Town. An added benefit: These stretches of sand are accessible by public transportation. Fish huts and beer huts pop up every 500 yards or so and the water is just right for swimming all day. What are you waiting for?
VALENCIA, SPAIN (48,979 Instagram Posts)
Alternative to Barcelona, 40,104,185 Instagram posts.
Barcelona is at the breaking point with tourism. The local population has had enough of our shenanigans and have started to rally against us. It's not that they want tourism to end, they just need less of it to function as a city. So let's give the people of Barcelona a little bit of a rest. Go to Valencia instead.
No, seriously, go to Valencia right now. It's one of the dopest cities on the Med. It has one of the coolest old towns in Europe. The maze-like inner-city is a blast to get lost in while you explore all the tapas bars. The Mercado Central is a food wonderland. Plus, the city has amazing beaches, just like Barcelona.
It's all there, walkable, massively less crowded, cheaper, and younger. Seriously, this city is rad. There's a great bar culture that erupts every night in old-school cafes and laser-filled underground clubs. Then you can spend the day wiling away the hours in some shady plaza eating great paella while you contemplate a trip to an air-conditioned museum or another trip to the beach. It's the best of everything the Mediterranean coast of Spain has to offer only more local and cheaper.

Summary Machines: Samuel Beckett and Philosophy after Deleuze and Guattari is an cutting edge method of the connection of the paintings of Samuel Beckett to philosophy. The examine seeks to mix intertextual research and a 'schizoanalytic genealogy' derived from the idea of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to discover a 'becoming-philosophy' of Beckett's literary writing. the writer specializes in zones of come upon and war of words - areas and instances of 'becoming' - among Beckett, chosen philosophers and Deleuze and Guattari. within the retrospective look occasioned by way of that a part of Deleuze and Guattari's complicated legacy which embraces their curiosity within the writer, Beckett's writing particularly effectuates a threshold hesitation which might be visible on to influence on their method of the historical past of philosophy and on their contribution to its 'molecularization' within the identify of experimentation. summary Machines, with its arresting views on quite a lot of Beckett's paintings, will entice teachers and postgraduate scholars attracted to the philosophical echoes so obtrusive in his writing. the level of its recourse to philosophers other than Deleuze and Guattari, together with, significantly, Alain Badiou, renders it a well timed and provocative intervention in modern debates about the dating of literature to philosophy, either inside Beckett reviews and past.

Extra resources for Abstract Machines: Samuel Beckett and Philosophy after Deleuze and Guattari (Faux Titre, Volume 295)
Sample text
Rancière (2004) is highly critical of the formula in its application, generally but specifically in the analysis of Melville. Deleuze in Rancière's view, bars the way to politics, because, he argues, the way to shared fabulation is ultimately blocked (Rancière 2004, 164). This position ultimately subscribes to the very un-Deleuzian notion of a separate sphere for politics, even if politics emerges out of the "partage du sensible". Shadow Hospitality: Beckett and Philosophy 31 Coup de Dés" (Mallarmé 1976, 429).
44 Abstract Machines: Samuel Beckett and Philosophy after Deleuze & Guattari sont écrits dans une sorte de langue étrangère". "A great novelist is above all an artist who invents unknown or unrecognized affects and brings them to light as the becoming of his characters", Deleuze and Guattari would reiterate, under a somewhat distinct emphasis, in Qu'est-ce que la philosophie? (Deleuze & Guattari 1991/1994, 165/174). Criticism, in Deleuze's specialised vocabulary in Critique et clinique, and in keeping with his advocacy of a critical intervention of co-creation and affirmation, should seek to elaborate a plane of consistency, a 'sieve' or sorting machine which enables, activates or prolongs fluxes and becomings (driven by the percept and affect) in the writing.
35 As much is true of his essay on Joyce, published in 1929. His manner of playing the role of critic, through irony, parody and baroque erudition, is suggestive when it comes to thinking about how he himself viewed the industry of secondary criticism convened upon his own name (an industry the output of which has proliferated at an extraordinary rate since his death in 1989). It is in the context of the more general problematic of which this specific instance is exemplary, that the work of Rancière—to which this chapter has already referred—has been so compelling in recent years.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Department of Homeland Security officials are preparing to bus migrant families more than 300 miles east into Texas so that they can deposit them in Mexico instead of releasing them in the United States while they await court hearings, according to two Trump administration officials as stated in an article from the Washington Post.
Homeland Security officials plan to announce that they will expand the Migrant Protection Protocols program to the Tucson region, one of the last major areas on the border that has not been diverting asylum seekers to Mexico to await their immigration court hearings.
CBP's Tucson sector was not included in the initial rollout of the MPP policy, known as "Remain in Mexico."
However, shelters in Tucson are responding to the new program.
Casa Alitas Program Director Diego Javier Piña Lopez said they heard about it Thursday night.
"I think our initial reaction was seeing what numbers we were getting today and making speculations that is because of the changes there or this or that," Lopez said. Although he doesn't believe it's directly related to MPP, Lopez said they did see lower numbers on Friday.
"We're holding about 45 people right now," he said. The shelter can hold up to 180.
Officials estimate DHS will send at least one busload each day from U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Tucson sector to El Paso, the Post reported. Migrants will have interviews to determine if they would be at risk in Mexico, and if not, will be sent across the border to Ciudad Juárez to await their U.S. immigration court hearings.
As family apprehensions plunged elsewhere, they rose more than 33 percent from May to October in the Tucson sector, from 1,700 to nearly 2,400. The Wall Street Journal first reported the releases earlier this month.
Lopez says they may start to see a decrease in numbers as the program continues, but not as low as you may think.
"Today [Friday] we've received several people from India, people from Russia, Romania. The demographic of who's coming across our border is changing because how can you implement certain parts of these policies to these groups," Lopez said.
Federal officials said Tucson lagged behind in the MPP program, mainly because it had received far fewer families crossing the border and was a less urgent target. Family arrivals in Tucson remain far lower than the tens of thousands who poured into other parts of the border earlier this year, particularly in El Paso.
But Tucson's crossings in October surpassed those in El Paso, which counted 2,100.
More than 200 people — including one large group of 129 people — streamed into remote Sasabe, Arizona, in the Tucson sector, in a span of five hours on Saturday night. The influx demonstrates the ability of smuggling networks to identify holes on the border, officials said.

A local CBP official said people currently housed in Tucson shelters are not among those who will be transported and some other exceptions include: women who are six months pregnant or more, families with children younger than 1-year-old and people who are physically vulnerable or disabled.
Which means the bed at Casa Alitas will still be occupied at the shelter — maybe not as many, but Lopez said they have to be ready for anything.
"We've always had to be prepared while we're doing this work. We've seen policies within this last year, policies change quite frequently and be challenged almost every time it's been changed," he said. "And we have to be prepared to see these numbers continue on this roller coaster of going up and down of families claiming asylum here and needing our support."
