Devil's Nose Railway
It's difficult not to sound hyperbolic when talking about riding the rails through Ecuador's 'avenue of the volcanoes'. A morning's train ride surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain scenery, peaceful villages and, on clear days, smoking volcanoes, the centerpiece of the trip is a series of stunning zig-zagging switchbacks carved into a near-vertical cliff face – the 'Nariz del Diablo'. Known at the time of its construction as the most difficult railway in the world to build, and to everyone who rides it now as a gravity-defying, once-in-a-lifetime, experience. Go on, you try not sounding hyperbolic on your return.

Peroutka: America Turning Into Haiti By Disobeying God's Laws
Steve Deace recently went on a mission trip to Haiti, which he discussed on his radio show today with Michael Peroutka, a white supremacist who heads the Institute On The Constitution. Peroutka took the opportunity to warn Deace that the US may soon look a lot like Haiti because the government has "abandoned" biblical law.
"I believe what you saw in Haiti was the result of decades of generations of men believing that they can do it their own way, do it without adherence to the way God made the world and so that has consequences," Peroutka told Deace. "I guess the final point is, the dangerous thing is that in America today that's where we are heading, we are heading toward Haiti, we are heading toward that kind of view of the world."
Peroutka, is a member of the white nationalist League of the South, told Deace that "it's not an accident or a mistake, it is being driven that way by those in government who have abandoned — and we as a culture — have abandoned this real view of the world." Deace added that Detroit "has all the parameters in place to become like that."

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Middle of Nowhere. Ruby, a young lonely nurse, makes the drastic decision to drop out of medical school when her husband Derek is incarcerated for eight years. Unquestionably, Ruby dedicates herself to Derek, taking the bus on a regular basis out to the prison where he is being detained. In the process of focusing all her attention on her husband, Ruby goes on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering strength and faithfulness in the darkest of times. Hailed as a "plaintive, slow-boiling, quietly soul-stirring drama" by The New York Times, this powerful film garnered Ava DuVernay the director award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, the first African-American woman to win the prize.

New smartphone app can detect newborn jaundice in minutes
News and Information
Posted under: , , , ,
Newborn jaundice: It's one of the last things a parent wants to deal with, but it's unfortunately a common condition in babies less than a week old.
U of Washington
Parents or physicians can monitor a newborn baby's jaundice with their smartphones through BiliCam.
Skin that turns yellow can be a sure sign that a newborn is jaundiced and isn't adequately eliminating the chemical bilirubin. But that discoloration is sometimes hard to see, and severe jaundice left untreated can harm a baby.
University of Washington engineers and physicians have developed a smartphone application that checks for jaundice in newborns and can deliver results to parents and pediatricians within minutes. It could serve as a screening tool to determine whether a baby needs a blood test – the gold standard for detecting high levels of bilirubin.
"Virtually every baby gets jaundiced, and we're sending them home from the hospital even before bilirubin levels reach their peak," said James Taylor, a UW professor of pediatrics and medical director of the newborn nursery at UW Medical Center. "This smartphone test is really for babies in the first few days after they go home. A parent or health care provider can get an accurate picture of bilirubin to bridge the gap after leaving the hospital."
The research team will present its results at the Association for Computing Machinery's International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing in September in Seattle.
The app, called BiliCam, uses a smartphone's camera and flash and a color calibration card the size of a business card. A parent or health care professional would download the app, place the card on her baby's belly, then take a picture with the card in view. The card calibrates and accounts for different lighting conditions and skin tones. Data from the photo are sent to the cloud and are analyzed by machine-learning algorithms, and a report on the newborn's bilirubin levels is sent almost instantly to the parent's phone.
"This is a way to provide peace of mind for the parents of newborns," said Shwetak Patel, a UW associate professor of computer science and engineering and of electrical engineering. "The advantage of doing the analysis in the cloud is that our algorithms can be improved over time."
A noninvasive jaundice screening tool is available in some hospitals and clinics, but the instrument costs several thousand dollars and isn't feasible for home use. Currently, both doctors and parents assess jaundice by looking for the yellow color in a newborn's skin, but this visual assessment is only moderately accurate. The UW team developed BiliCam to be easy to use and affordable for both clinicians and parents, especially during the first several days after birth when it's crucial to check for jaundice.
Jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin, can happen when an excess amount of bilirubin collects in the blood. Bilirubin is a natural byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells, which the liver usually metabolizes. But newborns often metabolize bilirubin slower because their livers aren't yet fully functioning. If left untreated, severe jaundice can cause brain damage and a potentially fatal condition called kernicterus.
The UW team ran a clinical study with 100 newborns and their families at UW Medical Center. They used a blood test, the current screening tool used in hospitals, and BiliCam to test the babies when they were between two and five days old. They found that BiliCam performed as well as or better than the current screening tool. Though it wouldn't replace a blood test, BiliCam could let parents know if they should take that next step.

"BiliCam would be a significantly cheaper and more accessible option than the existing reliable screening methods," said Lilian de Greef, lead author and a UW doctoral student in computer science and engineering. "Lowering the access barrier to medical applications can have profound effects on patients, their caregivers and their doctors, especially for something as prevalent as newborn jaundice."
The researchers plan to test BiliCam on up to 1,000 additional newborns, especially those with darker skin pigments. The algorithms will then be robust enough to account for all ethnicities and skin colors. This could make BiliCam a useful tool for parents and health care workers in developing countries where jaundice accounts for many newborn deaths.
"We're really excited about the potential of this in resource-poor areas, something that can make a difference in places where there aren't tools to measure bilirubin but there's good infrastructure for mobile phones," Taylor said.
Within a year, the researchers say BiliCam could be used by doctors as an alternative to the current screening procedures for bilirubin. They have filed patents on the technology, and within a couple of years hope to have Federal Drug Administration approval for the BiliCam app that parents can use at home on their smartphones.
Other members of the research team are Mayank Goel and Min Joon Seo, UW doctoral students in computer science and engineering; Eric Larson of Southern Methodist University; and James Stout of the UW pediatrics department. Southern Methodist University is a collaborator on the machine learning design and app development.
This research is funded by the Coulter Foundation and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

LAS VEGAS -- The pool of quality free agents is starting to dry up, but the Wizards still are in a good spot to get exactly what they want with two trade exceptions available and still some talent who can be had at a reduced rate.
The Wizards entered the week with three primary needs to fill: Size for the low post, a shooter/scorer who can create his own shot and third point guard.
They replaced the loss of Trevor Booker with Kris Humphries, who is 6-9 and 235 pounds, Tuesday. And they still have a decision to make on Kevin Seraphin, who was extended a one-year qualifying offer to keep him a restricted free agent for now. A longer deal could be worked out with the 6-10 center or it can be rescinded and he could be allowed to test the market unrestricted. Now that Drew Gooden is locked up, too, that could make Seraphin expendable.
Ten of the 15 maximum roster spots are officially spoken for, not including the $4.6 million option on Andre Miller that's expected to be picked up and Garrett Temple on the verge of officially signing a one-year veteran minimum deal worth $981,084. Al Harrington wants to play again, and he'd command a one-year veteran minimum deal of $1.448 million.
[RELATED: Wizards 'not close' with offer for Trevor Booker]
This would leave one or two roster spot available, and here are some of the best fits based on who still is out there:
- Mo Williams: He opted out of a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers that would've paid him $2.7 million this season, looking for more years following a solid performance. Williams can fill two holes at once -- ball-handler and shooter/scorer -- and could be worth a three-year deal at 31 as long as he accepts a lower per-year average from Washington. In 11 NBA seasons, he has a 13.3 points per game average and shoots 38.5% from three-point range. He can play on or off ball.
- Francisco Garcia: He's a career role player who averages 8.0 points in nine seasons. At 6-7, he can play shooting guard which would be another option behind Bradley Beal and Glen Rice. Garcia is a 36.1% three-point shooter and played for the veteran minimum at less than $1 million. He opted out of his deal, doing the Houston Rockets a favor so his salary could come off the books so they could pursue other free agents. He should return, but in case he doesn't he's worth the look.
- Evan Turner: The irony that the No. 2 overall pick in 2010, whose agent has a contentious relationship with Wizards starting PG John Wall, is available. Turner flourished with the Philadelphia 76ers but came unhinged when traded to the Pacers, who renounced his rights so he could become unrestricted. But with a player such as Wall setting the table, Turner could find success with his 11.1 career points per game. Still, his three-point shot is lacking (32.6%) and the Wizards can't/won't pay him what he probably feels he's worth. Turner earned almost $7 million last season.
- Glen Davis: Size and the ability to stretch the floor with a mid-range jump shot, "Big Baby" could fit if Harrington isn't retained. But Davis, who the Wizards inquired about when he was a free agent late last season, has fallen off a bit after seven seasons. He opted out of a deal to pay him $1.4 million with the Los Angeles Clippers and probably wants more than the minimum.
- Khem Birch: Of all the unsigned free agents on the Wizards' summer league team, this 6-9 forward/center has the best chance of sticking. What Birch lacks in artistry, he has in intangibles. Think a more slender version of Booker. Birch was the Mountain West Conference's Defensive Player of the Year and could be signed for as little as the minimum salary of $507,366.
- Daniel Orton: The 6-10 forward/center has been bothered with a mild right calf strain and could be in better shape for the Wizards' summer league team. However, Orton has shown good vision, passing ability and sets solid screens to free shooters. Could be had for the minimum of $948,163.

A. Situation analysis
Description of the disaster From December 2014, Zimbabwe experienced continuous heavy rainfall, which led to widespread flooding across the country, with the worst affected provinces including: Manicaland, Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West and Midlands. According to preliminary assessments, approximately 6,000 people (1,200 households) were affected, of which 2,500 people (500 households) were identified as in urgent need of assistance.
By Sumiko May, British Red Cross
There was nothing Enesia Charunda could do to save her home and crops. The 63-year-old has known flooding, but never as bad as that which destroyed her Zimbabwe home earlier this year. Enesia abandoned her house as the flood waters closed in. She managed to get her family – frail husband and three grandchildren – to the safety of higher ground, but her home was destroyed.
DURBAN, South Africa, May 26 (UNHCR) – Approximately 1,000 Burundian and Congolese refugees who sought new lives in South Africa are turning to the UN refugee agency for help, after xenophobic violence forced them to flee their homes last month.

WASHINGTON DC— International human rights group, Human Rights Watch, has appealed to the United Nations to assist the more than 20,000 people affected by the flooding of the Tokwe Mukosi basin in 2014.
The rights group is accusing the government of neglecting the flood victims.
The families were first relocated at Chingwizi Camp and have since been transferred to Nuanetsi Ranch, which even the government has admitted is not habitable.
The area is infested with killer spiders, snakes and unsafe and scarce water.
The Lions Club of Harare City recently donated an assortment of clothing and other items to flood victims in Muzarabani.
The donation was made at a Lions Club zones members' social gathering last week, attended by Parents of Children with Cancer Association and the general public.
Madagascar has been receiving double its average rainfall since early January. These rains, coupled with the impact of Tropical Storm Chedza, which crossed the country on 16 Jan, have to date killed 74 people and almost 20,000 people remain displaced in accommodation sites. Nearly US$2.6 million has been mobilized to respond to the most urgent needs, but gaps remain, particularly in shelter and protection.
Due to the heavy downpours, by the end of 2014, areas in the suburb of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, were flooded. Floodwater led to the collapse of houses as they were made of mud walls, displacing many flood survivors.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 28 January 2015 — UNFPA and its partners are working to provide humanitarian relief to hundreds of thousands of people who are in urgent need of assistance following widespread flooding in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. More than 760,000 people have been affected by the floods in wide regions across the three countries and an estimated 226,000 have been forced from their homes.

HARARE— Opposition leader and former prime minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, on Thursday appealed to the Movement for Democratic Change-led Harare City Council to prioritize unplanned settlements like Hopely in the provision of infrastructure and sanitation to prevent an outbreak of diseases.
Addressing Hopely residents in Harare South, Tsvangirai said it was disturbing that 10 years after it was set up, the settlement does not have proper houses, water and sanitation facilities, leaving local people exposed to waterborne diseases.
Gaborone/Geneva, 16 January 2015: Weeks of heavy rains have left tens of thousands of families homeless and in desperate need of support across Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Description of the disaster
Since December 2014, Zimbabwe has experienced continuous heavy rainfall, which has led to widespread flooding across the country, with the worst affected provinces including: Manicaland,
Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West and Midlands. Early warning and monitoring data evidence indicates that the flooding will soon extend to traditionally high flood risk communities in the Masvingo, Matabeleland North and Matebeleland South provinces.
"At the most 30 or 40 people are still in the church, after the last group of women and children were moved. Some of the others are now in Soweto, where I live, while others were forced to find other shelter", said to MISNA from Johannesburg, Paul Verryn, Methodist Bishop, former head of the Central Methodist Church. The Bishop is referring to the around 400 immigrants, mostly from Zimbabwe, who since 2000 had found shelter in the church, but were evicted on December 31.
Continued rains around Zimbabwe have triggered emergencies with lives being claimed in the process. Alerts from Zimbabwe Red Cross Society Provincial Structures highlight varrying rain induced emergencies with affected areas in dire need of humanitarian intervention. The number of affected households as of the 4th of January 2015 is over 700 according to informatiom gathered.
This Quarterly Update covers the activities of the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) between 1 October and 31 December 2014. It is also available to be read online or downloaded at www.internal-displacement.org.
IDMC, established by the Norwegian Refugee Council, is the leading non-governmental body monitoring internal displacement worldwide.

WASHINGTON, DC— The Central United Methodist Church in Johannesburg, which has been home for thousands of refugees, many from Zimbabwe, is shutting its doors to refugees, on New Year's eve, leaving an estimated 500 residents, in a panic.
Bishop Paul Verryn, who has facilitated the flood of refugees to the church, says he's saddened by the news, and has issued pleas to whoever can assist, to help those who will be left homeless, following the closure on Wednesday.
The Zimbabwe Red Cross Society has responded to Flash Floods that have affected Zimta Park and Dreamhouse high-desnsity residential areas in Mutare Urban in Manicaland province. The floods which are a result of heavy downpours on the night of 17 December 2014 destroyed houses, household property, blankets and swept away food reserves and an assortment of other valuables. One minor, a 6 year old girl died after being swept away while sleeping in one of the destroyed houses and her body was recovered 3 km down stream. Two other family members survived with injuries.
The Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) was conducted over the period from February until June 2014 with the aim of obtaining a better understanding of the situation, needs, risks, capacities and vulnerabilities of asylum seekers and refugees with regards to their food and nutrition security as well as livelihood opportunities, and providing recommendations for the next 6 to 12 months. This JAM report aims to provide information for programming through the design of a joint -programme cycle for UN agencies and their partners under the coordination of the Government of Zimbabwe.

WASHINGTON—The Bulawayo City Council says the impending demolition exercise of illegal structures in the local authority's Killarney suburb and Ngozi Mine is different from that in Chitungwiza and Epworth in Harare because Bulawayo has a lot of temporary structures that cannot pass as buildings.

What's wrong with my Hair?
Two months after I gave birth to baby Z, I notice that my hair has been shedding more than the usual. And it actually bothers me a lot. The volume of my hair loss doubled more than the usual hair loss. It even made me think I might be suffering from cancer. I did a research and it helped me not to worry much about it. According to baby center, it is the occurrence of hormonal change that causes hair loss more than the usual. These usually happen 12 weeks after giving birth. In a day, we normally lose about 100 to 125 hairs but after delivery, mothers might be losing about 500 hairs a day. Though it's normal and therefore inevitable, there are still

Isn't it scary? What on earth is going on? This series of quakes has been very alarming for me. It reminds me that Christ is indeed coming soon. In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus gives us the Signs of the End Times. At the Mount of Olives, where His disciples come to Him privately they ask him "Tell us," they said,

Traveling with Infant
I always thought that traveling with infant is stressful. But our first travel experience with our little one is the opposite of what I thought. Through out the travel time, he's been behaving very well, giving us comfort and worry free travel. As long as you are prepared to travel with your infant, I'm sure you will have a comfortable and worry free travel experience. Here are some tips when flying with an infant. Take note that most airlines required atleast 2 weeks old baby to get onboard. Other's allowed 1 week old with doctors permission. 1. As much as you can, choose a day flight over a night flight. For me, it's more comfortable to travel when you have enough sleep before and during

Three years in Philippines, two years in Dubai, five months in Mumbai and almost two years here in Kuala Lumpur. And now that we have our little one, I just feel the need of becoming a full time mom.

Normally when we leave for work, Baby Z is sleeping. But this morning, just before we leave for work, he woke up with big smiles. We greeted him good morning with smiles and asked him how his sleep was. He replied with all smiles plus his normal baby talking that sounds telling us that he just had a very good sleep and a sweet dreams. So cute that it made me grab my cam and fired the shutter to capture this goodbye smiles. What a lovely morning for us, it made me sad leaving him again for work.

A big thanks goes to those who came on our little one's dedication last March 6, 2011. Thank you Pastor Garry for officiating the said event. Bro. Win, Kuya Allan and the whole NCCM Family for the assistance. My sister for helping me organize the event and to all secondary parents, officemates and friends, Thank You Very Much! Above all thank you Lord for the privilege of dedicating a child to You. I believe that children are gift from God. And the Bible said so, "children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalms 127:3. As a believer, we are to recognize that children first and foremost belong to God. This is the reason why it is important

Obedience to Ponder
Everyone was taught to be obedient, at our house, school, church and even in our workplace. As a child it is our duty to obey and as we grow, we learn to rationalize. It's always easy to advice people to obey, but the hard part is when you put yourself on that situation and you were told to obey…and even harder is to put that into action. Recently, something had lead me to a realization that obeying is merely giving up your desires, your plans, your thoughts and even your character to something that's obviously better than yours. It was the act of accepting and believing that someone up there is better than you. It was turning down your ego, accepting and believing that you
Getting Ready for Baby Z's Dedication
On his third month, baby Z will be dedicated to Christ. He just had his third immunization today. He started sucking his thumb and baby talking before he turns three months. Another addition to his little milestone. Just before the day end, we made sure that everything is ready for tomorrow's event. And since he had his shots this morning I am glad that he didn't had a fever. He's been brave enough for the past three immunization. And its good that he never feels sick everytime he receives shots. Everything is set. And i thank my sister for helping me organize the simple event.

It's been more than a year since we acquired our two bedroom condo unit somewhere in the city. We call it our tiny box since it's not that huge. Up to now, it is still bare and unoccupied since we are based in Kuala Lumpur. By second week of March, we will be going home for a vacation. I thought of buying some stuff that I could bring home for this tiny box of ours. So right after work, hubby and I went for a home shopping. It's been a long while since we had our last home shopping. Since curtains, beddings and rugs are cheaper here, I decided to grab those items for home. I just love shopping for curtains here in KL for

How to Create a Badge
When I started making friends online thru blog hopping, I have been seeing a lot of this "square button" which says "grab my badge". Being a newbie at that time, I have been wondering how to create those colorful and cutie square button which they actually called a Badge. I dig the web for online tutorial and thankfully I have found lots of them. Just like me, I know there are lots of noob bloggers out there who's rescue are online tutorials. So after successfully creating my badge thru an online guide, I thought of writing my own version of tutorial on badge making. I hope this will help the newbies out there who wants to have their own badge. Lets get started. First, you

Although a bit away from the centre, perfect for concerts at Zenith and shopping at Toison D'Or. You cannot complain at the price . Clean simple rooms with friendly staff. Vending machines for hot and cold drinks at reasonable costs.

A step up from Formule-1 and the like but with en-suite facilities. Still a bargain, and with the check in kiosk, it doesn't matter what time you arrive, although the staff were very helpful even although we arrived 2 hrs after the time that reception was advertised as closing.
Dear Customer,
We have taken note of your comment and we thank you. Being in a continuous improvement approach, our customers are welcome. A welcoming smile, professional and clean rooms are our priorities, I will share your compliments with my team. Hope to see you soon.

Affordable hotels seem to be tricky to find in the area but wish I'd searched a bit harder...6 of us have stayed in 28 hotels in the last 29 days and this is the winner of the worst of them. Not truly terrible but cramped, outdated and shower cubicle has many cigarette burns In It...staying in the same hotel chain...
Cher client,
Je vous remercie de nous avoir fait un retour concernant votre séjour au PREMIERE CLASSE De DIJON NORD....
The hotel was easy to find and the parking was very secure with a gate which needed a code to enter or exit. There was was plenty of parking spaces available. The room was typical of a Premiere Classe, small but clean. Sadly the room smelt of stale tobacco smoke but this is probably typical of this kind of hotel...
Cher Client,
Nous vous remercions de nous faire partager votre vision de notre hôtel. L'acceuil et la pleine satisfaction de...
Firstly, this is a budget hotel - the rooms are small, basic and it's mostly used by truck drivers as a stopover. I wouldn't stay here to explore the area, but I would stay here again on our way elsewhere as it was exactly what we needed.
The bathroom was cramped but adequate, the room too (although it was the...
Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback regarding your stay. We are pleased that you enjoyed the cleanliness of our renovated rooms, Dijon Nord is indeed an ideal place to stop on the way to your holiday. We are sorry for the discomfort caused by the behavior of some customers. I will share your compliments...
Stayed here twice in August as a stop off to and from the South of France.
Dead easy to find (with sat nav anyway) just off the main highway.
It's very very basic, just about enough room, but the rooms are very clean, the sheets very new and clean, the beds were pretty comfortable and the shower was hot.
Dear Customers,
We have read your comments and we thank you.
Being in a process of continuous improvement, the opinions of our customers are welcome. A welcoming smile, professional and clean rooms are our priorities, I will share your compliments with my team. Hope to see you again soon.
Sincerely, Director Carine C.
Absolutely fine for an overnight stay. Room was basic, but clean and comfortable enough. Italian next door was fine for food and hypermarche for buying snacks. Don't go expecting a night of luxury in a scenic location and you will be happy.
Due to fully booked at our previous stay. We had to choose another hotel in Dijon. The Premiere Class was our last choice. The day that we arrived it was 33 degrees. The room has a airconditioning that not was working proberly. No cold air and the temperture inside was 31 degrees according too de display/remote of the airconditioning. Outside...
Sat Nav picked it up with no issues, the roads around are a peculiar one-way system but if you just follow the directions without thinking, it gets you there successfully. Plenty of parking.
I was not prepared for the 'motel' style layout of the rooms. Your room door is an exterior door onto an open balcony with open...
All booked over the internet - arrived mid afternoon - found it easy - no issues with checking in. Near to supermarket (for cheap fuel) and family restaurants. Room clean and tidy, wifi free (note that more expensive hotels) - will return to another in the chain.

Casa Carrasco is a haven of peace and tranquillity, located approximately 6 km from the authentic small Spanish town of Colmenar and an easy drive from Malaga airport. Once a typical working farmhouse, we have fully restored Casa Carrasco, retaining many of its original features. The detached house is fully equipped inside and outside, and has south facing terraces leading down to a private jade-green swimming pool set amongst olive and almond covered hillsides. The house lies at the end of a good unsurfaced track of approximately 2 km at the head of a valley looking south towards the mountains backing Malaga. The nearby small town of Colmenar is an authentic working Andalucian town with a surprising number of shops, bars and restaurants. Within easy striking distance are the cities of Granada and Antequera. The coast is a short drive away, as are other traditional white towns. Also nearby are the Montes de Malaga and El Torcal National Parks.
Casa Carrasco is an officially registered "Casa Rural" with the Andalucian tourist board, registration number CR/MA/00243

"Small paradise"
Casa la Carrasco is a beautiful cottage in the Spanish hills, a paradise for those who like a quiet and peaceful holiday. The view is marvelous.The place is an ideal starting point to visit the typical Andalucion white villages like Colmenar, Comares and Frigiliana. Also larger towns like Granada, Malaga, Antiquera and Ronda are within reach. The house itself is nicely furnished in Spanish style and spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped: with for instance sharp knives, a toaster, and good pans. In May 2013 we stayed a fortnight in the house with our 4 children (15, 15, 12 and 10 years) and had a wonderful holiday. The children enjoyed the swimming pool very much. You can walk from the terrace right into the most beautiful nature: delicious scents (e.g. rosemary and blossoming orange trees) and flowers and birds (nightingales, golden orioles) everywhere. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Wifi and beach towels are available. Arie and Fleur, The Netherlands

Medication review is an advanced service registered pharmacists can now offer patients in the UK. This in-depth study of pharmacist-older patient communication during domiciliary medication review encounters examines how the interactions are constructed by participants and the influence of the compliance paradigm on the interaction. Twenty-nine observed, taped and transcribed consultations were analysed using discourse analysis. Ethnographic-style interviews in the field with pharmacists, follow-up interviews with patients and feedback workshops with pharmacists allowed interpretations to be tested and strengthened. The findings presented here use discourse analysis to look at the task-driven nature of the medication review encounters. The analysis explores the interactional format of three over-lapping phases of the consultations: (i) introductions and agenda setting; (ii) screening and testing patients' ability to comply; and, (iii) investigating over-the-counter medicines. Analysis suggests that a dominant compliance paradigm encourages pharmacist-led encounters with patients failing to engage in the medication review process. Little evidence of two-way reciprocated discussion or concordance was evident. The strategic nature of the discourse of compliance heard in these medication review encounters and its effect on older patients are discussed. The paper concludes with a consideration of the implications for pharmacy practice and policy development.
