From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
New islands are islands which have been created recently, whether by means of vulcanism, erosion, glacial retreat, or other mechanisms. One of the most famous new volcanic islands is the small island of Surtsey, located in the Atlantic Ocean south of Iceland. It first emerged from the ocean surface only in 1963. In 1965, it was declared a nature reserve for the study of ecological succession; plants, insects, birds, seals, and other forms of life have since established themselves on the island.
Another noted new island is Anak Krakatau (the so-called "child of Krakatoa", which formed in the flooded caldera of that notorious volcano in Indonesia), which only emerged in 1930. Ample rainforests have grown there, though they are often destroyed by frequent eruptions. A population of many wild animals, including insects, birds, humanborne rats, and even monitor lizards, have also settled there.
Uunartoq Qeqertoq is an island off the east coast of Greenland that appeared to have split from the mainland due to glacial retreat between 2002 and 2005; however, it is believed to have been a true island, with or without glacial covering, for many thousands of years.
In February and March 2009, a vigorous eruption created a new island[1] near Hunga Ha'apai in the Tongan Islands of the southwest Pacific. By the end of the activity, however, the new land mass was connected to Hunga Ha'apai.[2]
This is a list mostly of submarine volcanoes that later became new volcanic islands between the 20th and the 21st century. Aside from Anak Krakatau, only Surtsey and Home Reef are currently islands, and Surtsey is the only one that is expected to survive.

Laser Vision has recently launched an audio album titled "Tumi Je Amarey Chao". The album, featuring nine Tagore songs by Mahnaz Karim Hossain, is a special treat for Tagore song lovers.
Mahnaz comes from a musical family that includes members of the Zinga Shilpi Goshthi to pop singer Mehreen. Noted Tagore artistes including Ajit Roy, Fahim Hossain Chowdhury and Salma Akbar would often perform at their residence on her father Ataul Karim's request. Mahnaz soon became addicted to the genre and was determined to render only Rabindra Sangeet. She also took lessons in classical music for several years from Barkat Hossain of Sangeet Bhaban, founded by legendary Kalim Sharafi.
The album opens with "Dhirey Dhirey Dhirey Bou", urging the restless wind to blow softly at night, while the concluding song "Rodon Bhora E Bosonto" leads the audience towards the path of spring.
In between, some melodic skills are apparent in the other seven tracks. The track "Sokatorey Oi" has a soothing effect. The artiste has done justice to the tracks -- "Tumi Kon Kanoner Phul", "Oje Maney Na Mana", "Godhuli Gagoney Meghey", "Abar Eshechhe Ashadh" and "Chand-er Hashir Bandh". The title track zooms in on melody in diversity.
The USP of the album remains the confluence of the artiste's passion for melodious and her favourite Tagore songs. Her understanding of the notations is praiseworthy. Her renditions are a temptation to listen to her. Music arrangements for the album represent a blend of subcontinental and western instruments.
"The beauty of Mahnaz's vocal and rendition style surpasses many practiced vocals. It is her inborn trait," writes renowned singer Dalia Nausheen on the flap of the album.
Noted Indian musician Durbadal Chattopadhyay has directed music for the album.

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the use of computer software to simulate performance in order to improve product designs or assist in the resolution of engineering problems for a wide range of industries. This includes simulation, validation, and optimization of products, processes, and manufacturing tools.
A typical CAE process comprises of pre-processing, solving, and post-processing steps. In the pre-processing phase, engineers model the geometry and the physical properties of the design, as well as the environment in the form of applied loads or constraints. Next, the model is solved using an appropriate mathematical formulation of the underlying physics. In the post-processing phase, the results are presented to the engineer for review.
CAE applications support a wide range of engineering disciplines or phenomena including:
Some engineering problems require the simulation of multiple phenomena in order to represent the underlying physics. CAE applications that address such problems are often called multi-physics solutions.
The benefits of CAE include reduced product development cost and time, with improved product quality and durability.
Here are examples of CAE software applications:
NX CAE is a fully integrated, modern engineering environment for modeling and simulation of real-world problems. NX simulation applications include dynamic motion simulation, linear and nonlinear stress analysis, system-level performance simulation, dynamic response simulation, vibration analysis, fluid flow and thermal analyses, durability analysis, multi-physics engineering analysis, and analysis to physical test correlation.
NX Nastran is a finite element solver that analyzes stress, vibration, structural failure/durability, heat transfer, noise/acoustics and flutter/aeroelasticity.
Femap is a CAD-independent, Windows-native pre- and post-processor for advanced engineering FEA. It provides engineers and analysts with an FEA modeling solution to handle even the most complex tasks easily, accurately and affordably.
Solid Edge Simulation is a built-in FEA tool for design engineers to validate part and assembly designs digitally within the Solid Edge environment. Based on proven Femap finite element modeling technology, Solid Edge Simulation significantly reduces the need for physical prototypes, thereby reducing material and testing costs, while saving design time.
The following software components are used by CAE software developers as the foundation for their applications:
Parasolid is 3D geometric modeling component software, enabling users of Parasolid-based products to model complex parts and assemblies. It is used as the geometry engine in hundreds of different CAD, CAM and CAE applications.
D-Cubed Components are six software libraries that can be licensed by software developers for integration into their products. The capabilities they provide include parametric sketching, part and assembly design, motion simulation, collision detection, clearance measurement and hidden line visualization.
Decrease Text Size Enlarge Text Size Text Size
CAE is an integral part of product lifecycle management (PLM). Used together with computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), digital manufacturing, and product data management (PDM), entire product lifecycles can be optimized for suitability, reliability and profitability.

I just read that the Pacu, a fish with very sharp, human like teeth can be found off the coasts of South-East Asia. In fact fishermen enjoy the ferocious fight the Pacu puts up. It is closely related to the pirhana. There have been genuine reports of men having their testicles bitten off by Pacu. So think again when you go in the sea au naturel

Robert Kissel was one of about 30,000 American expatriates who worked in Hong Kong. Robert got married to Nancy in 1989 after dating for two years. In 1997, the couple moved to Hong Kong with their three children. They lived in the prestigious apartments where other highly paid expats lived with their families. Their rocky marriage led to the murder of the husband in 2003. The subsequent trial was high profile and attracted a lot of media attention.
In mid 2003, a respiratory epidemic broke out in Hong Kong and many Americans went back home for fear of being affected. Nancy agreed to return to America with the children while her husband held on to his high flying job. It was while she was in the US that she met a man who had been contracted to rewire their home in Vermont.
The two maintained their relationship on phone and email. Robert became suspicious and hired private investigators. The detective came upon evidence of the affair but failed to produce photos of the lovers. The matter became the subject of violent arguments between Robert and his wife. These arguments piled pressure on the already troubled marriage.
One Sunday afternoon in November 2003, Nancy made her husband a strawberry milkshake. He took it and drained the glass. The drink was laced with a cocktail of sedatives. When these drugs took effect on Robert, his wife struck him several times on the head till he died. She was all alone in the house at that time. She rolled the body in a carpet which was later taken to a storeroom in another part of the complex.
The failure of Robert to show up in the office raised the alarm. The police were alerted by his office and immediately swung into action. Different people including the workers at the complex were interrogated. The questioning led to the discovery of the body in the storeroom. The body had already started to rot meaning that the murder had occurred several days before the body was discovered.
The discovery of the body led to the arrest of Nancy who initially denied having killed her husband. Later during cross examination she agreed to the charge but said she did it to protect herself. She informed the court of how her husband continuously raped and sodomized her since they came to Hong Kong in 1997. She disclosed that Robert had started to use cocaine besides his excessive drinking habit.
Her trial commenced in June 2005 and continued over the next two months. At the end of the trial, the seven member jury unanimously found her guilty of the murder. At the beginning of September 2005, Mrs. Kissel was sentenced to life in prison. Her defense team unsuccessfully appealed against the ruling in April 2008.
In January 2010 Mrs. Kissel appealed again, this time in the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong. The appeal was brought before a team of five judges led by the Chief Justice of that time. The initial ruling was overturned and a fresh trial was ordered. 50 defense and prosecution witnesses were produced in court and Nancy was sentenced to life in prison once more.

Also in this Issue
Senate Confirms New Director of NSF and Psychologist for National Science Board
On November 20th, the Senate confirmed appointments of eight scientists to the National Science Board (NSB), the 24-member independent body designated by Congress to oversee and establish policies for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and provide advice to the President and Congress on science and engineering issues. Prominent among this group is Alan I. Leshner, the first psychologist to serve on the NSB in several decades. Leshner, a Fellow of APA and current Chief Executive Officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), will serve through May, 2010. He noted: "I'm delighted by this appointment. NSF is a wonderful agency that serves a vital role in the advancement of science worldwide. I look forward to bringing my training in and perspective from psychology and neuroscience to the National Science Board's important policy discussions."
President Bush's nominee for Director of NSF, Arden L. Bement, Jr., also received Senate confirmation for a period of six years, during which time he will serve in an ex officio capacity on the NSB. Bement has served as NSF's Acting Director since February, 2004, while he continued to serve as the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the Department of Commerce (his NSF appointment coincides with official resignation from his position at NIST). Bement, an engineer by training, has had a long career in industry, government and academia. He faces immediate challenges at NSF in terms of resources (one of his stated priorities), particularly in light of funding cuts to the agency in the Fiscal Year 2005 budget up for final congressional approval in the December lame duck session.
Congress Upholds Support for Peer Review
Congress completed its work on the omnibus appropriations legislation that includes funding for the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A primary concern for APA was the possible inclusion of amendment language approved in the House version of the bill that aimed to restrict funding for two grants funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Both of the grants were behavioral research projects that had been through the peer review process at NIH. While a similar amendment was not adopted in the Senate version of the bill, it was up to the House and Senate members of the conference committee to negotiate the differences between the two versions of the bill. APA staff met with congressional offices throughout the fall to educate members about the importance of this issue and ensure that the language was not included in the final bill.
While recognizing the public health mission of the agency, the final appropriations legislation rejected the Neugebauer amendment language and reaffirmed Congress' support for the National Institutes of the Health (NIH) and the peer review system. The report accompanying the bill states, "The conferees reiterate their support of the two-tiered peer review process used by NIH to judge research grant applications and continue to expect NIH to ensure that its funds are allocated to research that is both scientifically meritorious and has high potential public health impact."
Science Policy Takes A Holiday at the White House
Science Policy staff recognize the value of taking an occasional break from the rigors of lobbying to celebrate the holiday season. And perhaps nowhere is that holiday spirit more evident here in Washington than in the jolly smiles of the U.S. Secret Service guarding the East Wing of the White House. It was there on December 12 that Director of Science Policy Geoff Mumford spent a lovely Sunday afternoon as the guest of Dr. Susan Brandon, OSTP AD for Social, Behavioral and Educational Sciences, eyeing some impressive old growth forest (indoors no less) adorned with enough lighting to challenge the East Coast power grid. As Susan and I strolled along discussing issues such as the administration's on-going nanotech initiatives, it was clear that no one had briefed the White House Chef, who had constructed a rather elaborate out-sized ginger bread house. But no matter, listening to children caroling or playing in a woodwind ensemble, it was hard not to have a positive outlook for 2005 knowing that APA has such a welcoming colleague and advocate for psychology in this White House. So here's wishing our OSTP friends and our SPIN readers the very best for the Holidays!
APA Science Policy Fellowship Applications Due January 3, 2005
Applications are due January 3, 2005 for APA's annual Science Policy Fellowship program. Each year, APA places a psychological scientist in an executive branch research funding/coordinating office. Past Fellows have worked at the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and most recently, the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition to duties as a special assistant in a science mission agency or office, the Fellow attends an orientation program on congressional and executive branch operations and a year-long seminar series on issues involving science and public policy. For more information, contact Dr. Heather Kelly in APA's Public Policy Office via email or phone at 202.336.5932.
APA Science Directorate Offers New Summer Fellowships in Counterintelligence Research
The APA Science Directorate and Public Policy Office will offer two new exciting summer research fellowships in 2005, in collaboration with senior psychologists working in the Department of Defense's Counterintelligence Field Activity Office (CIFA). The summer fellowships, open to APA or APAGS members at both the post-doctoral and senior graduate level, will provide opportunities to spend eight weeks at CIFA's headquarters here in the Washington, DC area. Research Fellows will work on topics relevant to countering terrorist activity, reducing "insider threat" and developing counterintelligence threat trend analysis. Stipends for Fellows may range from $8,000-12,000. Applications must be received by Dr. Heather Kelly in APA's Public Policy Office by March 1, 2005.
Air Force Research Lab Looking for Senior Scientist
The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command has issued a scientific and professional recruiting announcement seeking a Senior Scientist in the area of cognitive engineering/modeling. Applications must be received by the closing date of February 5th, 2005. The announcement describes the Senior Scientist's role:

7 Steps to Create a Facebook Fan Page for Photographers
Photography fan pages are pretty common these days as they're an excellent way of keeping up to date with clients, sharing current and past work, and finding potential customers. I pride myself on my Facebook fan page, which I update almost every day, and have grown for the past 10 months. Very few of you know this, but I actually used to spend a lot of time writing for a website on internet marketing, so I know a thing or two about setting up a decent looking fan page, which will do your career a lot of good.
Setting Up
When registering your fan page, the first thing you're going to want to do is select the right category, and I find it's best to list yourself as a website, rather than a public figure. Couple reasons for this, the first being that you look a bit ridiculous when you've got 12 fans and you're calling yourself a public figure. Secondly, when you do become a massive success, there are limitations in place when you reach 10,000 fans and you're not listed as a website, so make sure you get that right. I wouldn't be surprised if this changed now that Facebook is allowing subscriptions though.
One of the good things about having your own fan page is that it can turn up in Google if they deem it relevant enough, but to do so, you have to include the right sort of information. To do this, you need to edit the basic information section of your page and say what you're about. Have a look at mine below to see what I mean.
You need to use as many keywords as you can, which may be similar to the following:
Brighton based photographer, specializing in portrait and landscape photography.
Then when someone Google's 'Brighton portrait photographer', there's a better chance that you're going to pop up. Fill in as much of this information as is relevant to you, but try not to repeat yourself. This section is useful for search engines, but I don't typically read them myself; I prefer to focus my information on the profile picture, or the about section on the page. The about section will appear under the profile picture, but above the like counter, and can be used to attract new visitors who are viewing the page for the first time. It costs nothing to fill in, so don't avoid this.
Profile Picture
The profile picture is a little bit more complicated than what you may be used to, because this is where you can really try to promote your page. What you may not be aware of is that you have 180 x 540 pixels to work with, so you can use that space to either display a picture, or some text that will entice your visitor to click like. I've personally used both, as you can see below, but I currently prefer the simple version.
With the simple version of the profile image, I can do three different things. Firstly, I display my full name and logo at the bottom, just so that there's no confusion, I can include a photo of one of my models, and I can include my logo icon. The logo icon is especially important because it's what people see when I comment on a post, or write something on my wall. It helps to build upon my brand, and it can do the same for you if you choose the right one. It doesn't have to be a logo as such, maybe just your name, or your favorite photo, but something that you want to associate with yourself. The choice of a portrait was a no brainer, because I can change this once a month to a new photo, which will attract the attention of new and old visitors. You have to keep your fans entertained.
Banner Photos
If you're planning on using the Facebook banner on your page, then that's fine, but I would warn you off of using any fancy custom banners, and make sure you have at least five photos if you do activate it. The reason I say that you shouldn't use these custom banners is because this is the perfect space to display some of your own photography, which will get people interested in what you have to offer. And obviously, make sure you have five photos because there's five boxes, and you don't want any empty, but you're going to uploading lots of photos so there's nothing to worry about.
Your Portfolio
All photography fan pages should have a portfolio on them, but I'm aware that people are still worried about sharing their photos on Facebook. Don't be. So long as you take care of how you put them up, no one will steal them and use them for anything worthwhile.
The first thing you will want to do is learn how to professionally share your photos on the internet, which you can read about here. Make sure you pay very close attention to how it's done, because it's deceptively important. Things like colour profiles and image size are very important.
If you're worried about people taking your photos, then it's not uncommon, or unacceptable, to include a watermark. Make sure it's small, and in the corner, and then if anyone steals your photo, it will be clear where it came from. Have a look at my Facebook watermark below. There's nothing worse in a portfolio than taking a good photo and putting a big garish watermark right in the center. It's completely distracting from the photo, and not doing you any favours.
Only choose the best photos. I see this all the time on Facebook; a few good photos dispersed amongst a load of rubbish, so that you can't even tell what's good anymore. You need to remember when you're sharing that your album as a whole is only as strong as your weakest photos so if you're going to include all of your wonky, poorly exposed duds as well, you're not going to go far.
I'll give you an example, I was at a friend's wedding BBQ the other day and I took 761 photo, but only 156 made it into a photo album. I'm way past taking poorly exposed, wonky, or out of focus photos, but I still make sure that the variety of photos is going to be something that's going to interest the reader, not 5 photos of the same person doing exactly the same thing. If you leave the viewer impressed and wanting more, then you're onto a good thing.
The next step with photos is to add regular wall photos. You may have noticed that I regularly update new photos on my Facebook wall, and that's so that I can keep you interacting with my Facebook, and get your feedback on my photos. You may also notice that you don't hear from certain pages on your Facebook, even though you like them, and that's because you stopped interacting with them, either because you weren't interested, or they stopped posting content you wanted to see. Keep up your interaction with regular photos if you want your fans to remain interested.
Welcome Page
If you really want to try to gain new likes on your Facebook, and you have a way of sending people to your fan page, then I would suggest using a fan page generator to help convert more fans. You can have a look at mine here, which is the landing page for my fan page, and if you haven't liked it, then you can't view that particular page until you have. There are free versions of this, or paid alternatives, but they do basically the same thing, with different limitations. Here is the version that I use, and you can see how useful it can be from this article, which I wrote for another website. Again, you're going to want to keep everything photography related, and there are themes for that.
Claim your Name
When you've got all of the above complete, then it's time to start sharing the page and get people liking it. It used to be that after you had 25 likes, you could claim the custom URL, but I think that's changed now so you don't have to. Either way, it shouldn't be hard to find 25 fans, just bribe your friends. One of the first things you will want to do is claim your name, and my top tip for this is use capital letters. Facebook will recognize where you have specified capital letters, so when I set the URL to ExpertPhotography, even when someone types in www.facebook.com/expertphotography, it will still revert back to www.facebook.com/ExpertPhotography, which looks a lot better. All of this can be done from your Basic Information section.
Keep your title relevant, and include the word photography, because 'Tim Smith Images' doesn't tell you that he's actually a professional photographer, even if you do think it sounds better. Keywords are key when it comes to internet marketing.
Share your Page
The next step is to go into your resources tab and select how you want to connect with people. You may want to take out some advertising, or email your contacts to tell that you have a new fan page, but there's two options that I always use. The first is to connect your page to Twitter if you have one, so that way, whenever you post something on Facebook, it will appear on Twitter too, which should hopefully improve your reader's interaction.
Slightly more complicate; you're going to want to use a social plugin if you use a website. This means generating a Facebook like box that people can click on while they're browsing your website, which will instantly make them your fan. There are different options for different websites, but one thing I would absolutely recommend is that everyone uses the official Facebook plugin. I wasted so much time not using it, because although it's not the best looking thing in the world, it certainly helps to gain new fans. My page is currently growing by about 1,000 new fans a month, and I put a lot of that down to this plugin. Don't miss this step.
When you've completely everything above, the very final step is to share it on your Facebook and ask all your friends to like it. I'm not one for finding fans like this, because if they're not interested in what I'm offering, then I don't really want you on the page – it does nothing – but when you're first starting out, it helps to try and boost your numbers so you don't look like an amateur.
And there you have it, everything you need to produce a page that will get you more customers for your photography.

6 Heart Disease Risk Factors
Reduce your chance of illness by controlling these dangerous habits
By Hallie Levine Sklar
Special Offer
You've known it for a while: When it comes to developing heart disease, certain behaviors can put you directly in harm's way. While you can't do anything about getting older—or an unlucky family history—you can take care of your physical and mental health to help decrease your risk of getting sick. Below, learn to avoid six common risk factors to keep your heart beating strongly.
1. Smoking. Smokers have two to four times the risk of developing heart disease that nonsmokers do, according to the AHA. But quitting is a powerful thing: One year after stopping, your risk of heart disease is half that of a smoker's; after 15 years, it's the same as a nonsmoker's, says the American Lung Association. You're also at risk if you're regularly exposed to secondhand smoke: Up to 70,000 people die of heart disease due to secondhand smoke each year.
2. Blood pressure and cholesterol. Everyone should know her blood pressure, LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol levels and triglycerides, says Malissa Wood, MD, codirector of the Massachusetts General Hospital
Heart Center Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program in Boston. Your blood pressure should be less than 130/80; total cholesterol should be under 200; LDL cholesterol should be under 130; HDL should be above 50; and triglycerides should be under 150. If your numbers aren't good, talk to your doctor about how to improve them, whether it's through diet and lifestyle changes or medication.
3. Weight and waist circumference. If your BM I is 25 or higher, you're at increased risk of heart disease; if it's over 30 (meaning you're obese), the risk is even higher. (Calculate your BM I at WomansDay.com/BMI.) And if your waist circumference is over 35 inches, you're in more danger. In fact, a study from the journal Obesity Research and Clinical Practice found that women who had a waist circumference greater than 35 inches had almost three times the risk of developing heart disease.
4. Not exercising. If you're a couch potato, you're almost twice as likely to develop heart disease, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). "You're more likely to be overweight, which increases risk of heart disease, and activity strengthens your cardiovascular system," says Nieca Goldberg, MD , medical director of New York University's Women's Heart Program. The AHA recommends at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Squeeze it in wherever you can; every little bit counts.
5. Type 2 diabetes. People with this condition are at least twice as likely to have heart disease or stroke. If you do have diabetes, make sure you get it under control, whether that's by losing weight, eating right and/or taking medication.
6. Stress. It appears to be a risk factor, though the jury is still out on how much of a role it plays and why. "Research shows that people who are chronically stressed have higher rates of heart disease," says Dr. Goldberg. "We don't know if that's because of the effects of stress hormones or because people who are stressed are more likely to engage in unhealthy habits."

Bob Blizzard, Labours prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Waveney constituency
Kim Briscoe, Health correspondent
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Proposals to shed 500 front-line jobs and 20pc of inpatient beds could have a "devastating impact" on mental health services across Norfolk and Suffolk, it has been warned.
A union has also blasted the government for forcing Norfolk and Suffolk's mental health trust to make the cuts over the next four years, which are part of a drive to save £20bn across the entire NHS.
Bob Blizzard, Labour's prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Waveney constituency, said inpatient beds were already oversubscribed and community mental health teams had been reduced in his area.
He said: "If staff cuts on this scale go ahead, it must surely have a devastating impact on local mental health services.
"From my contact with staff, it's clear they are already under severe pressure and morale is low.
"Demand for mental health care seems to be increasing not decreasing."
Jeff Keighley, Unison's Norfolk health regional organiser, echoed the view that demand for mental health services was increasing.
He said: "We are not in dispute with the trust about this, they are having to do it because they have got no choice and they are trying to do it in the right way."
The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust says the proposed changes are part of radical redesign being led by clinicians in response to a tough NHS efficiency drive, which means it has to cut 5pc out of its budget every year for the next few years.
While the trust says it is hopeful that it will not have to make any compulsory redundancies, and that inpatient beds will only be axed when there is evidence they are no longer needed, concerns have been raised over the impact the changes could have on staff and patients.
The trust employs around 4,500 staff, but the redesign only involves a pool of around 2,130 workers.
It has been keeping vacancies open and as of the end of August this year had the equivalent of 254 full-time vacancies, which means that it has to cut another 247 jobs by the end of March 2016.
The trust has now entered into a 90-day consultation with staff and says it expects the proposals to change during that time due to the feedback it receives.
It is also pledging that when inpatient beds are cut, which is due to be towards the end of the four-year process, no area will be left without any at all.

NSFT Comms Team: 1. It is a ridiculous and disgraceful proposition that the bureaucracy will remain the same size during four years of cuts which will see the number of doctors and nurses cut by 33% and the budget for services cut by at least 20%. The proportion of the Trust's budget spent on administration, pointless-endless-meetings and paper-pushing, already far too high, will climb substantially higher still. The cuts of 35% in band six nurses, 33% in consultants and more than 50% in career grade doctors shows the true priorities of the Trust bureaucracy and where the 20% budget cuts are falling quite disproportionately. 2. Yes, sure, the merger lost some of the dead wood in the bureaucracy but there is a forest to chop. The real point of the Trust, services to those with mental illness, had the Cost Improvement Programme cuts, much of which was ill-thought out and poorly managed, at the same time as the merger, so it isn't as though the bureaucracy was hacked while services weren't. Bureaucracy is supposed to exist to support front-line services, not to serve itself. You seem to have forgotten this. 3. If the Trust changes were really clinician-led, as is claimed to the public, the clinicians should be leading the Trust, and asking questions such as whether a Comms person on the EDP website is needed more than services to some of the most vulnerable people in society. Many of the paper-pushers at Hellesdon have enjoyed substantial pay rises and promotions while front-line services and jobs have been cut and salaries have been frozen. What has actually happened is that the bureaucrats have said to carefully-selected stooge clinicians "Here are the cuts, we're not being cut, you harm yourselves, your colleagues and the services provided to the public." 4. It is interesting that people in Communications can comment on this newspaper website, when clinicians cannot, because of the new and onerous Behaviour Policy for staff, which makes it a disciplinary offence for clinicians to even to discuss the Trust in a conversation in a pub. A disgraceful situation for a publicly-funded organisation to be in.

Not in Suffolk anyway. On the management front in Suffolk they will gain 8.3 WTE 8a posts ( but only lose 6.21 WTE 8b posts, 2.46 WTE 8c posts and .74 WTE 8d posts)......all to manage less staff!!

Now who was it who said " The NHS is safe in my hands " ? Anybody remember?
Monday, October 22, 2012
Adrian - you sound angry and I would advise you to have this discussion with your manager or a member of the executive team, as some of your views that you present as fact are either inaccurate or misleading.
Friday, October 26, 2012
Why is the number of people suffering from emotionalmental issues increasing? Simple it is this Government putting people under so much pressure to live day to day life, working or otherwise. I am sick and tired of the Government targeting the vulnerable in society.
Monday, October 22, 2012
Folks, any organisation that can afford to pay GP's vastly more money for doing far less work is not short of money. Its what it does with the money thats the problem.
Monday, October 22, 2012
There isn't a 20% cut in management posts however.
Monday, October 22, 2012
Will Norman Lamb's foot soldiers now stop pretending they're not making cuts to the NHS?
Monday, October 22, 2012

Now this is just getting ridiculous. My community mental health team is already well overstretched following the last round of cuts. Where are people like me supposed to turn to for helpsupport? Even the charities have had their funding slashed.

Did Jeremy Hunt's visit here prompt these cuts or were they waiting till he'd been to announce it?

How can you cut 20 % of inpatient beds , when the population of the area is increasing .? No money left , we have to rebuild Afghanistan in front of our own peoples needs .

I am sure the service can cope with a few less senior managers.

Vote Tory, get this. If you haven't worked out by now that "plebs" don't count, then you may need some mental health care; but you won't get that dossing on the streets as these people intend.

A Dock to Nowhere?
by Diana Stricker | Jun 28, 2011 12:07 pm
(3) Comments | Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
A "Block the Dock" campaign is sailing through Branford's Pawson Park neighborhood as residents rally to prevent a dock from being built on Sunset Beach.
"The fundamental issue is that it's a dock to nowhere," said Edward Zelinsky, as he explained that the dock would be useless much of the time because of low tides.
Zelinsky, an attorney whose home is near the proposed dock, has volunteered to represent the neighbors at no cost. "It's an absolute safety hazard," he said, observing that the dock would divide the beach and have a significant impact on boating, beach-users, and the environment.
"This is a magnificent jewel of a beach." The beach is filled with very small light colored assorted rocks, not pebbles and not sand.
More than 100 people signed a petition opposing the dock that would run across the beach to the side of Trinity Rock. (See photo above). The current proposal calls for an elevated 40-foot long fixed pier, a 40-foot long ramp, and a 12-foot by 20-foot floating dock. The original proposal called for a 170-foot long pier.
Many have posted "Block the Dock" signs in their front yards and have written letters to the state Department of Environmental Protection after learning that the DEP had given tentative approval to the plans.
Perhaps the most unusual of the signs appears by way of a neighborhood statue, much beloved in the community and created by resident wood carver Robert Reutenauer.
The dock is being proposed by Francis X. Conlon II and his wife, Susan DeGrand Conlon, of 150 Pawson Rd. They are longtime residents.
"The neighbors' concerns are without merit," Susan Conlon told the Eagle in a telephone interview. She said the DEP has all the information on file.
She declined to discuss the project in detail but did say, "I see it as being no public threat to boaters or people walking on the beach."
A copy of the Conlon's DEP application, prepared by an environmental firm, states the project will not result in any significant impacts to the area.
The Conlons have been attempting to build a dock since 2006, but their previous applications to the DEP were not approved. The size of the dock has been reduced from previous proposals. Francis Conlon is a certified public accountant in North Haven. Susan DeGrand Conlon is a vice president at John DeGrand & Son Inc., a family trucking company in West Haven.
Zelinsky has contacted the DEP with the group's concerns. "There is a statute that protects us … They have to consider the rights and concerns of the neighbors." He said the stretch of beach is public property because it lies beyond the mean high tide line.
Brian Thompson, director of the DEP's Office of Long Island Sound Programs (OLISP), said people sometimes send comments opposing construction of a dock, but not to this extent. OLISP has jurisdiction over dock placement in the state.
"This is not typical," Thompson said. "This one has a significant amount of comments."
He said the DEP is only required to hold a public hearing on dock issues if they impact a coastal wetland and if at least 25 people sign a petition requesting a hearing. Sunset Beach is not a coastal wetland. He said it is possible that a public meeting may be scheduled soon since there is so much interest in the project.
Thompson said the DEP did issue a "notice of tentative determination" in April, but asked the Conlons for additional information. "We're now in the process of reviewing that updated application," he said.
About 20 neighbors held an impromptu gathering on Sunset Beach over the weekend to express their concerns to the Eagle.
Sarah Greene, who grew up in the neighborhood, says tide pools form during low tide along a popular outcropping known as Trinity Rock. Neighbors claim the rock would be adversely impacted by the dock.
"There are all kinds of wildlife there that I've never seen anywhere in the Sound. I've seen seahorses there," Greene said. "I think a dock will destroy that ecosystem."
She said the water is so shallow on Sunset Beach during low tide that a boat couldn't be brought in to the dock for at least half of the day. "You can't override Mother Nature," she said.
Susan Kirby, who grew up playing on the beach and often returns there when visiting family, said the neighbors are not trying to be negative. "We are against the dock, but most of all, we are for the beach," Kirby said. "We want to save the beach more than anything else."
She recalls learning to surf at Sunset Beach, where waves can reach more than eight feet when a storm is approaching. "It's the best surfing spot on the beach when there's a storm coming," Kirby said, explaining that they know the area and can navigate it safely. "We know where the rocks are."
Residents say storms can take a toll on boats moored off the shoreline because the beach faces the southwest and the prevailing winds are southwesterly.
"The reason there are no docks here is because the sea is so capricious," said Eve Fowler, who lives nearby.
"We're directly on the water. It can be very fierce here," Zelinsky said. "Boats are going to get pushed into this dock."
Zelinsky's wife, Doris Zelinsky, said Sunset Beach is designated for both registered and transient mooring, so it is often used by boaters who don't live there. Boats are moored in deeper water, and dinghies are used for access. This is typically how boaters get to their boats in beach communities.
"It's going to be much more dangerous getting in and out of the area because of the dock," Doris Zelinsky claimed "It will create a dangerous situation."
She said neighbors are friendly and often gather for pot-luck dinners and strolls along the beach. People know each other because of the multi-generational families."
She said opposition to the dock issue has been unifying. About 100 families have access to the beach.
"This is a grass-roots effort. Neighbors are genuinely outraged," Doris Zelinsky said.
"Nobody is against the woman. We're just against what she wants to build."
A longtime resident of the shoreline, who asked not to be identified, said she was surprised to learn about the dock because the Conlons are very good neighbors.
"I was shocked and very sad," she said. "The beach was always open to everybody…it would destroy the beauty of the beach," she said. "I don't see how a boat can even get in there."
Zelinsky is hoping that the DEP will schedule a public meeting to discuss the issues. However, he said if the dock is eventually approved, he will file a lawsuit. Zelinsky is a professor of law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City.
Bob Schroeder, who lives nearby, said if the dock is built there will be an immediate impact on aesthetics and the environment and a long-range effect as well.
"Once you alter the nature of this beach…this landscape will be lost forever," Schroeder said. "It's a short term advantage for one family and a long-term disadvantage for many."

It is understandable that they would want a dock but clearly this is not the place for it. Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should, don't ... ruin the beach and your relationship with your neighbors.

The iPad 2 was released in March 2011, buy new iphone 5 unlocked only a month after the Xoom appeared, and its upgraded hardware neatly eliminated the main advantages that Motorola's device had over Apple's. Like the Xoom, the iPad 2 has front and rearfacing video cameras that support Apple's FaceTime video chat software. It also has a dual core processor and comes in a slimmer, lighter case than the first iPad, a feature that Apple likes to emphasize in its advertising.
But other Android tablets are hitting the stores every few weeks, each trying to outmaneuver the iPad 2 in some fashion. Some compete on price, with models like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer (which with an optional keyboard can convert to a notebook computer) undercutting the iPad 2 by about $200; some compete on size, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab both slimmer and lighter (and a little cheaper) than the iPad 2; and some just try to look cooler, though Apple has always been a hard company to beat when it comes to stylishlooking devices.
One area where Androids are still buy new iphone 5 unlocked unequivocally beating the iPad 2 is video resolution, with most running at 1,280 x 800 pixels compared to the 1,024 x768 pixels on both iPads. Androids also tend to be more user upgradeable than iPads, with Apple mostly restricting the features to the ones that come in the standard model. And unlike some Androids, Apple doesn't support USB connectors. An area where Androids seem to be losing is battery life: Most reviewers agree that the iPad 2 runs longer without recharging.
In the allimportant area of apps, the iPad 2 is buy new iphone 5 unlocked still ahead way ahead. There are now over 100,000 apps available through the Apple App Store. (This number gets even larger when you take into account the roughly 500,000 apps for the iPhone, most of which will also run on the iPad 2, though they won't necessarily take advantage of its larger screen size.) It's harder to determine the number of Android apps because Google doesn't make that figure public, but a July 2011 New York Times blog estimated the number at a surprisingly paltry 232.
Of course, that doesn't count Android phone apps that also run on Android tablets and there are additional Android tablet apps that are specific to a single brand of tablet, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the Motorola Xoom. But even taking all of that into account, Apple is still winning the app war. Nonetheless some apps, such as the popular games Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, are available for both iPad and Android.
There is, however, a significant difference between the way that Apple handles apps and Android tablets handle apps. Apple only allows apps to be sold through its online App Store and must approve every app before it can go on sale. Android devices use a more open model, where anyone can release an Android app and nobody has to get a stamp of approval for it first. Granted, this difference is more significant to programmers than to users, but it provides an incentive for programmers to move to Android development and may lead to the availability of significantly more Android apps in the future.
In the end, whether you buy an iPad 2 or an buy new iphone 5 unlocked Android may come down to which you consider more important: the hardware, the software or the price. If hardware specs matter, you'll need to compare the specs for the iPad2 with the specs for each Android tablet on the market, a daunting task. (See these CNET reviews for the rundown on some specific models.) If software matters, you'll probably want to go with the iPad 2, which is far more likely than an Android tablet to have exactly the apps that you need. And if price matters well, bear in mind that unless you go with a modified Android tablet like the Barnes Noble Nook (which savvy users can reportedly modify to behave more like a fullfledged Android tablet), you're unlikely to undercut Apple's prices by more than about $200. But if that $200 makes the difference, then a lowcost Android tablet like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer may be what you're looking for.

Rivers sits in a corner, watching as Yealland brings Callan—a soldier who has lived through almost every major battle in the war—in to begin his treatment. Except for Rivers, the two men are entirely alone in the room. Yealland closes all the blinds so it is completely dark, aside from the glow of the battery and the reflection off Yealland's white coat and glasses.
Callan is brought in and strapped down to the chair. Rivers senses that the patient is frightened. Yealland attaches electrodes to the back of Callan's throat and continues to shock him repeatedly until he can make a sound. He shocks Callan for over three hours. When it seems like the patient is falling asleep, Yealland makes him get up and walk around the room. Callan tries to escape, but he cannot get out the door. It is locked from the inside, and only Yealland has the key. Callan considers attacking Yealland, but decides against it, and he submits to more electric shocks. To Rivers, the shocks seem extremely strong.
Yealland removes the electrodes from the back of Callan's throat and applies them to the sides of his neck. Callan seems to honestly be trying to speak, but only the sound "ah" comes out. Eventually, after many more shocks, Callan is stammering words. Yealland makes him feel completely powerless, repeating to him: "You must speak, but I shall not listen to anything you have to say." Finally, Callan is able to speak in full sentences. Yealland lets Callan up, and Callan smiles at him. Yealland does not like Callan smile, so he makes him sit down again, applies electrodes to his lips, and shocks him. When he gets up again, Callan no longer smiles. At the very end of the treatment, Callan must thank Yealland for curing him.
Rivers returns home that night, but finds himself unable to work or sleep. He is haunted by the images of Yealland and Callan, and the awful memories of the scenes of electro-shock therapy. He dreams of himself holding an electrode over a helpless patient's mouth, but the electrode turns into a horse's bit, and though he tries to push it into the mouth, it will not fit. Rivers wakes up screaming.
Rivers tries to understand his nightmare. He feels that the patient in his dream might have been Prior. Like Callan, he was mute upon arrival and seemed smugly satisfied with it. Rivers had used the tongue depressor on Prior in a moment of irritation with him. This makes Rivers wonder whether there is any real distinction between himself and Yealland. Both of them are in the business of controlling people, of making young men back into soldiers when they no longer want to be soldiers. Although Rivers prides himself on his more humane treatments, he nevertheless feels guilty for occasional pain he has inflicted on his patients.
Rivers realizes that what he witnessed that day was not the curing of the patient, but the silencing of one. By forcing Callan to speak, Yealland was forcing him to break, to relinquish his protest. It is then that Rivers realizes that the patient in his dream was not Prior, but Sassoon. Rivers confronts his guilt over breaking Sassoon, using his influence to force him to abandon his protest.
Rivers goes to consult with Head about his feelings of guilt. Head is surprised, and he reassures Rivers that there is no one person who could be more different from Yealland. Head tells Rivers that no matter how much influence he thinks he has, Sassoon has a mind of his own and it was Sassoon's personal decision to go back to the war.
Rivers talks about his trip to the Solomon Islands as an anthropologist. The natives asked him about his way of living; when he told them some of his culture's practices, they laughed uncontrollably because the things he described were so bizarre to them. At that moment Rivers felt incredible freedom, realizing that there was no measure of culture, of morality, or of right and wrong. It was "the Great White God dethroned."
Rivers returns to Craiglockhart for the monthly Board meeting and finds the hospital much quieter than when he left it. Anderson has worsened; he has not lost his fear of blood and he appears to be growing increasingly dependent on psychological help. Rivers visits Sassoon and finds him in his room in the same position as when he left him. Sassoon has finished a book, entitled Counter Attack, and has tried to remain out of trouble. He has also received some effusive letters from Owen, and he has begun to suspect that Owen had a crush on him. Rivers brings Sassoon the news that it seems very likely, if all goes well in the Board meeting the next day, that Sassoon will be sent back to France.
At the Board meeting the next day, they decide to give Anderson a desk job in the War Office rather than force him to go back to civilian medicine right away. When Sassoon comes in, he salutes the three officers and gives very satisfactory answers to all their questions. He admits that he has not changed his views on the war in the least; he is still very strongly opposed to it. Nevertheless, he considers it his duty to return to France and continue to serve his country. The Board agrees, and sends him back to active military duty.
Rivers says goodbye to Sassoon and reflects on the irony of the situation, that he himself should be changed so much by someone whom it is his job to change. Rivers worries about Sassoon, believing that he is going back to the war with the intention of being killed, that underneath his desire to watch over his men, Sassoon has a strong desire for death. Though Rivers has always respected authority, it is his turn to rebel. Morally, he must challenge a government that would kill an entire generation.
In these final chapters, Rivers is drawn to reflect on the existence of certainty and control. All of his life he has lived by the rules society has dictated for him, bound by abstract concepts such as duty and honor. Though these rules of gentlemanly behavior always worked for him before, in the chaos and horror of war he is forced to bring them into question. The military and the government in time of war work by basing their decisions upon certainties: "it is wrong to shirk your war duty," "it is right to sacrifice for your country," and "it is wrong to undermine the cause by publicly disagreeing with the war." By insisting upon these certainties, the government controls the minds and actions of men. Much like Dr. Yealland, it uses its arms and branches—such as Rivers—to force submission and conformity.
Yet, after years of working with shell-shock cases at Craiglockhart, Rivers is forced to confront the true definition of madness. Is Sassoon mad for rebelling unwisely against the war? Or is Rivers the one who is truly crazy? He is the one who works to heal people with the sole aim of returning "cured" patients to service, where they only face death. Rivers is forced to consider that he might be mad for working to defend a state that could sacrifice its own children so mercilessly. The questions of right and wrong, duty and honor are mingled and confused in the chaos of war.

Woman Made Threats and Assaulted Flight Attendant on Horizon Flight from Sea-Tac to Billings
KRISTA BAUER, 22, of Hanford, California, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury in Seattle for Assault Aboard an Aircraft and Interference with a Flight Crew Member. On August 25, 2007, a Horizon Air flight from Sea-Tac to Billings, Montana had to return to Sea-Tac after BAUER left her seat and assaulted the flight attendant shortly after take-off. BAUER was arrested in California on November 13, 2007, on an outstanding warrant and was ordered detained by a federal judge in the Eastern District of California.. BAUER will be brought to Seattle for arraignment next week.
According to documents filed in the case, shortly after the flight took off on August 25, 2007, BAUER got out of her seat on the plane and walked towards the front of the cabin. The flight attendant instructed BAUER to return to her seat until the plane had reached cruising altitude. BAUER ignored the request and grabbed the flight attendant around the head and neck and made statements such as "if anyone is going to die tonight it'll be you" and "we must die." Other passengers on the flight pulled BAUER off the attendant and restrained her until the plane had landed and returned to the gate at Sea-Tac. The flight attendant and other passengers on the flight who were interviewed by law enforcement officers stated that they feared for the safety of the flight attendant and other passengers on the flight. Officers who interviewed BAUER at Sea-Tac observed that she appeared intoxicated.
Assault Aboard an Aircraft is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in prison. Interference with a Flight Crew Member is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Port of Seattle Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kate Crisham.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office at (206) 553-4110.

An interesting thing about the swashbuckler lifestyles is that they had their own laws. They would work as per their laws, and they would live like the democratic lifestyles of today. Many of these raiders used to have an elected captain.
The crew members would elect the captain to the person to whom they used to thing as appropriate for the post. It will be significant to mention here that the captain's outfits in the pirate clothing trends are widely popular today. In some of the crews, the single captain was not elected, and the powers were distributed in distinct individuals. For instance, one person would lead the ships at the time of combats, the other would manage the finance, and so on.
In addition, the swashbucklers also had the rights to discard a captain in case if they would think him as inefficient. Captain Charles Vane – it is the name, which we can take as an example. When crew members thought him as a coward, they replaced him with John "Calico Jack" Rackham.
On the other hand, the freebooters would also provide the pension to the disabled pirates. They would give them so much gold for spending the entire life without any trouble.
Some other laws were prevalent, but there were also the flexibilities. According to a law, the females were not allowed in the crews. But, Calico Jack changed this law for his crew after the two female swashbucklers named Anne Bonny and Mary Read entered in the crew.
In the eastern world also, we find the laws in the swashbucklers. The famous female captain of the biggest pirate navy of the world, Ching Shih (better known as Zheng Yi Sao), made some significant rules for her crew members. These rules would force the morality and some loyalty to the swashbucklers. For instance, she made the rule that if some raider would rape a female victim, he would be beheaded, and his head would be dumped in the ocean. She also declared the same punishment for those who would steal from the treasury.
