text: Call the Midwife creator Heidi Thomas: TV series won't suffer when source material runs out Characters will live on once Jennifer Worth's original books are exhausted, says writer Comments Written By Jack Seale 12:07 PM, 12 February 2013 The current second series of Call the Midwife will be the last to be based closely on the books of the late Jennifer Worth - but Heidi Thomas, who has brought Worth's tales of 1950s midwives to the screen to create one of BBC1's biggest dramas, says the characters now have a life of their own. "I will have [used up all Worth's stories] by the end of the second series," Thomas said, in an interview for the new issue of Radio Times magazine. "But don't worry. It doesn't mean the show will end. The characters will be well developed by then and Jennifer was happy for us to continue." Call the Midwife's third series, plus a Christmas special, have just officially been commissioned by the BBC. Thomas, who developed a strong bond with Worth before the author died in 2011, and received her blessing for the TV series, discussed how she has already fleshed out characters from the books, such as homeless woman Mrs Jenkins in last year's Christmas special. "Mrs Jenkins is a very powerful presence in the books, but her story was not resolved. I decided she needed some redemption so I wrote in that scene." In the interview, Thomas also opened up about her brother David, who had Down's syndrome and died at the age of 15: "[David] was one of the greatest gifts of my life," Thomas said. "If there's anything in me that's kind or strong or good, it's because of those childhood years when I had him as a vulnerable, funny, outrageous sibling." And the writer of a string of hits (Lilies, Cranford, Ballet Shoes) said Call the Midwife was a project that particularly interested her - because she's addicted to birth programmes on TV: "I love birth programmes. There's a great American series I'm Pregnant and… having a dwarf or homeless or on drugs. It's a compulsion." Read the full interview in the new issue of Radio Times magazine, in shops now.

This is aggression to intimidate..... so you will not come back at them, challenge them, and become submissive for them. It's an initimidation technique is all. Ironically, it is the same thing many serial killers, etc. use initially with their victims, and so do rapist, etc. Same thing bullies do, in another form.
I'm guessing, due to you being female and 5'2" .... they don't think you are a threat to them and can be as abusive towards you as they want to be. My daughter is 5'2" tall ..... they wouldn't get away with it with her. It's facial expressions, body language, stance, walk, and tone in the voice...... and when she gets that "look", they know ... she's serious and they don't want to find out if she's capable.

Semen Korsakov: The Predecessor of Computerised Homeopathy
A Few Touches to his Portrait
-By Dr. Alexander Kotok
The name of the Russian, Semen Korsakov is widely known within the homeopathic community as the developer of an original system for making centesimal potencies. In homeopathic literature he has often been erroneously regarded as a General or Count, whilst in reality he was just a petty landlord and nobleman ... but truly of manifold gifts. He gave an undervalued service to homeopathy, and more! The detailed biography of the great man has not yet been written. In this paper I wish to remind you of some little known facts from his life.
Semen Korsakov was born on 14th January 1787 in the Ukrainian city of Cherson, now the district centre. His godfather was the Count Grigory Potemkin (1739-1791), the all-mighty favorite of the Empress Catherine the Great. Although his name sounds as a purely Russian ("korsak" in Russian means a corsac fox), it is most probably associated with the Lithuanian noble family, whose ancestor was the Czech, Zsigmond Korsak that had settled in Lithuania in the 14th century1. "Korsakas" in old Lithuanian means emblem or armorial bearings.
Very early in his life Korsakov lost his father, a military engineer, yet due to the efforts of his mother he succeeded in acquiring an excellent education. From 1805, he worked at the College of Foreign Affairs, and then participated in the St. Petersburg people's volunteer corps through the war against Napoleon in 1812-13. Korsakov fought and was wounded in the battles of Berezina and Polotsk, then in the siege of Danzig, and was awarded a medal for military merit by the King of Prussia.
In Paris, where he came with the Russian army in 1814, he became acquainted with the punched cards of the famous French inventor Joseph-Mary Jacquard (1752-1834), who is known to us as the inventor of the machine to produce broad-designed textiles. The young man was both fascinated and allured by this very promising idea, which, like homeopathy much later on, became his lifelong passion.
After the war, he found employment in the Ministry of Justice, where he occupied post of the head of the Statistical Bureau. It seems quite probable that such routine and monotonous work with catalogues and statistical reports gave him the idea to mechanise it. The employment in the Ministry did not require his constant presence at his workplace. Korsakov thus had enough time to be interested in other affairs, like calculating machines and homeopathy...
Semen Korsakov first discovered homeopathy, then quite a novelty in Russia, in 1829. He was successfully treated for severe rheumatism by his relative, a landlord from the Saratov province, called L'vov. Until then he had been forced to get about on crutches. It was Ledum 3c, which healed him.
During many years Korsakov treated his peasants and all those who came from the neighboring areas with homeopathy, receiving on average some 2300 persons yearly. He also tried to spread homeopathy among his relatives and friends. In 1830 and 1847, during the epidemics of cholera, which terribly shocked the Russian Empire, he occupied a post of district inspector over local cholera hospitals, collecting the statistics on different methods of treatment of cholera, including, of course, the homeopathic one.
He was probably the person who first told Admiral Nicholas Mordvinov (1754-1845), his uncle and a member of the State Council, about this new treatment. Nicholas Mordvinov, in turn, became interested in homeopathy, and several years later he issued the first pamphlet on homeopathy in Russian. His advocacy of homeopathy before the Tsar and the highest officials of the Empire allowed the new teaching to get the legislative approval as soon as the beginning of 1830s, much in advance of other European countries.
"The statistics dealing with homeopathic treatment of cholera in Russia during the epidemic of 1830, were received both from the landlords who treated their peasants with homeopathic medicines and from homeopathic physicians. These landlords either had started practicing homeopathy before the epidemic (L'vov and Korsakov) or had been attracted to practice it during the epidemic. Admiral Mordvinov united the statistics he got from different regions of Russia, where lay homeopathic treatment of cholera was provided during 1830-31. According to these statistics, from among 1273 persons who had been treated with homeopathic medicines, 1192 recovered and 108 died (i.e., the mortality rate was about 11%)"2. At the same time, the mortality rate from allopathic treatment was 60-90%! It seems that just in that time Korsakov developed his single vial method, which was approved and supported by Hahnemann. And it seems that the necessity of selecting symptoms in search for a right remedy revived the idea to mechanise a long and tiresome process.
In 1832, Semen Korsakov submitted a project to the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The project represented a description of a machine, called by Korsakov "machine for comparing ideas". In the terms of modern language we would call it a system for information search. The punched cards were the data carriers of the system. According to the project, they were to be kept in special card indexes to be chosen mechanically in correspondence with their characteristics. A brochure, written in French, was attached to the proposal.3 Korsakov was particularly perspicacious, realising that this was only the first step.
"Like telescope and microscope reinforces our eyes, so the intellectual machines will infinitely enlarge the frames of our mind, as soon as prominent scientists utilise their knowledge to study the principles of the process and compose tables, which are necessary in many fields of human knowledge..." 4.
In fact, Korsakov offered 5 kinds of machines of various complexities, intended to work out information by comparison of characteristics. It is quite natural that homeopathy was taken by him as an example how this system can be useful in day-to-day practice.
On fig. 1 one can see a machine, called by Korsakov "the linear omeoscope (i.e. homeoscope - AK) with movable pieces". It was supposed to find among the tables a certain basic idea, and then find another one (to be compared), containing in it all details of the first idea.
The fig. 2 demonstrates "the linear omeoscope with movable pieces". The task was the same; yet additionally it was able to point out which of the compared ideas coincide or differ.
"The flat omeoscope" (fig. 3), keeping all the functions of the previous two, was able to compare ideas by 10000 (!) characteristics.
Fig 4 shows "the ideoscope", which was supposed to immediately compare complex basic ideas by characteristics, whose number might have exceed 100, while the number of punched cards, utilised through the process, supposed to be less than 100.
And, finally, fig 5 presents "the simplex comparator". It had to do the same job as "the ideoscope", but for two ideas at once. However it didn't require the punched cards.
It is not my intention to dwell on the subject of the first effort of building up a mechanised homeopathic repertory, which is of course what these were, "the intellectual machines" of Semen Korsakov. More special research is needed. I must state that he surpassed "the Hollerith's tabulator", invented by Herman Hollerith in 1887, to work out results of the national census in the USA, for 55 years, while the first machines, utilised the border perforation, appeared only at the beginning of the 20th century! Semen Korsakov remains unchallenged as the inventor of the first system for mechanical repertorisation. His role in developing computers can be successfully compared with that of the British Charles Babbage (1792-1872), who is considered the father of the modern PC. Like Semen Korsakov, he observed the invention of Jacquard and tried to apply it, but for calculating, not for classification, like Korsakov did.
Unfortunately, it is all too common that contemporaries rarely recognise inventions, which are ahead of their time. The special committee of the Academy, headed by a brilliant young mathematician, a member of the Academy Mikhail Ostrogradsky (1801-1862), did not take seriously the ideas and proposal of Korsakov.
The decision of the committee was concluded in the following remark: "Mr. Korsakov spent too much of his intellectual power, trying to teach other people how to live without the latter altogether".
It is interesting to add here that when submitting his proposal, Semen Korsakov had no interest in patenting it. On the contrary, he wanted to offer it to the public at large! I believe that it also deserves a special mention that Semen Korsakov was the founder of the first information bureau in Moscow.
In 1835, he passed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where he was employed as an official for special commissions. In 1845, he retired in a civilian rank, corresponding to a general in the military, and settled down in his family estate Tarussovo, not far away from the city of Dmitrov (the Moscow district). He was held in deep respect by all but reamined modest, delicate, sincere and mild by all accounts, he was blessed with four daughters and six sons. One of them, Mikhail Korsakov (1826-1871), became the governor of the East Siberia, and the city in the Sakhalin district is named after him.
Semen Korsakov passed away on January 12, 1853 in Tarussovo. His grave, common with his wife Sofia, has been successfully and thankfully kept due to many benefits, he provided for the common people such as a school, church, built in his name.

Sorrentino's Seafood House was one of several Southland restaurants owned and operated by members of the Sorrentino family. It was located at the corner of Pass Avenue and Riverside in Burbank. A few blocks away was the more upscale Alfonse's, run by the famous chef, Alfonse Sorrentino. The seafood restaurant was reportedly run by two of his cousins. Whoever ran it, it was a great place that at lunchtime was packed with folks in the entertainment industry.
I liked lunch at Sorrentino's better than dinner, though both were great. At lunchtime, most entrees came with an amazing kind of potato I've never encountered anywhere else. It was halfway between the consistency of a baked potato and mashed — something like a pudding — and laced with onion. It was not listed as a side dish on the menu, which may explain why it didn't seem to have a name. Every time I asked a waitress what it was called, the answer was "It's just something the chef whips up at lunchtime." He did not whip it up at dinner and believe me: I asked.
The photo above is of Sorrentino's banquet room which got a lot of traffic from TV shows and movies holding wrap parties or press conferences. I rented it a few times on behalf of CAPS, the Comic Art Professional Society, back when I was on its Board of Directors. The food was good, the staff was great. The only reason I can imagine for its closure in the eighties was that they didn't do as much business in the evenings as they did for lunch. An awful lot of deals were concluded and script meetings held in its lush, red booths. I miss it and I miss those potatoes.

I can't believe those prices!
"Chow!" as we Non-Italians say.
I worked at Warner/Reprise Records in the 60s and we always went there for lunch when anyone had a birthday. It was the darkest restaurant I've ever been in but such a relief to escape the 90 degree blazing heat outside, and the food was always great – especially the chowder!!
What was the Robert C. "Bob" (Big Boy) Wian involvement mentioned before. He lived in Newport Beach and once owned a sailboat used in the film "Wackiest Ship in the Army". But where's the seafood connection?
Learned of its existence in the early 1980's during my few month's getting a handle on the fish biz while working for Alan Beck at Coral Reef Enterprises/Aquarium Design International/etc. Due to a legal agreement I chose not to bid this property (aquarium) but nothing said that I could not enjoy the food/friends/acquaintances' made there over the years, no doubt due to its convenient location/close proximity to so many other business and residential properties. It's so true! The old axiom/mantra; LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Sad to see it is no longer in business…MJC
My dad was a studio singer and he used to take me and my mom there for lunch. We had the Mariners salad with that wonderful dressing ….green goddess. I used to love watching them have their cocktails and flirt with each other. My parents were very happy and I had a great time living in an entertainment family.
My father worked at Walt Disney Studios in the late '50's and early '60's and that was the absolutely best restaurant he ever took us to! Glad somebody besides me remembers it!
What was exact location on Riverside Drive? I think it was adjacent to old Now Voyager.
Rich Corrao – sorry but Sorrentino's was torn down not long after you were there and is now a FedEx-Kinkos.
Ahh, yes. I loved this place, too. I was treated by colleagues from work to a birthday dinner here once. We all had a great time and loved the food. It became another frequent favorite place to dine and enjoy here in San Fernando Valley.
I was on a business trip back in the 80's….. the vendor took me to Sorrentino's for lunch….. it was great…… Just reminiscing a bit over another good time visiting Ca. Question : what replaced this Restaurant upon this location? Thank you Rich
That thick New England clam chowder is something I dream about every time I try to reel in a new place to get chowder that can compare! Very hard to find! I used to go into Sorrentino's once a week or so, just to order a huge tureen of the chowder to take home – this did not include all the times I went there on dates for dinner. Wonderful memories……
Anybody have a picture of the deep comfy booths with the endless signed photographs above? Never had clam chowder like they served again. What great recipes.
Alfonse and Bill Sorrentino were brothers.
They were own by Bob Wian of Big Boy fame.
For your information, for the last many years that Sorrentinos existed, it was owned and run by my uncle George Shub, with the help of his brother-in-law Art Soll. Sorrentinos was a great place for a group of us Lockheed employees to have lunch on occasion. We also enjoyed having lunch at Alfonse' and the nearby Tick-Tock . The one remaining great restaurant from those days is The Smoke House
Every afternoon the bar looked like a casting office for Columbia tv and Warner Brothers down the street. They served the best abalone steak and the best gin and tonic in town. Great place.
My wife and I had our wedding reception there in 1974 and everyone enjoyed themselves. We went to dinner there a few times and were really sad when we discovered it was gone.
I miss the Sand Dabs.

The 30-year-old winger has been lauded by his national team coach for bouncing back from negative media attention to become one of the game's finest players
The 30-year-old winger was among those sanctioned for his involvement in the rebellion against former les Blues coach Raymond Domenech during the 2010 World Cup.
However, having beat off competition from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to win Uefa's Best Player in Europe Award last week, Deschamps has saluted the Bayern Munich star for now making headlines for the right reasons.
"This award is known all around the world so we can be proud of him. We must not forget that two years ago most people wanted to burn him alive," he told a press conference.
"Everybody knows his qualities, they can make the difference. It will help us [France] that we have someone like Franck."
France travel to Georgia on Friday in their World Cup qualifying campaign, before turning their attentions toward Belarus on September 10.

Earlier in the season when Demba Ba was banging in the goals for Newcastle United, much was made of the fact that he had strawberry syrup shipped in from France. In one interview Ba did with Geoff Shreeves for Sky Sports Demba proclaimed his love for syrup and the rest is history. Now you'll find plenty of strawberry syrup in the Newcastle canteen, which is also being stocked with Papiss Cisse's food of choice: Yassa!
Papiss Cisse has done a great interview with the Telegraph and the help of an interpreter I suspect, has revealed his love for Yassa. Yassa is a Senegalese speciality, a spicy curry made with either chicken or fish. Popular throughout west Africa, the dish is flavoured with lemon and onions and it seems that Papiss can't get enough of it, with dinner lady Liz cooking it in the Newcastle United canteen for Cisse.
Papiss told the Telegraph: "[Newcastle have added] a Senegalese dish called Yassa [to the canteen menu], which I love. I can't cook it, but the chef at the club, Liz, does a really great job. It's fantastic." Cisse continued: "It is another example of how the club has made me feel so welcome and I appreciated it very much." This just goes to show how hard Newcastle are working to ensure that their new players settle in quickly and it's certainly paying off.
First with Ba and now with Cisse, Newcastle are showing how important it is to go the extra yard and ensure that every player at the club is happy. Word is starting to spread about the great atmosphere in the Newcastle changing room as well, as Papiss explained: "I spoke to Demba Ba before I came here and he told me how good it was. I saw them play and I thought, yes. It has been really easy to fit in. Everyone has helped me, especially the manager."
Cisse wasn't done there either, finally stating: "The other coaches and the players and directors have all made me feel very welcome and I felt at home straight away. It has not been difficult to settle in and be happy. It makes me happier when I score lots of goals and so far I have done that." This is all great to hear and hopefully will encourage more top players to come to Newcastle and experience the fantastic feeling at the club for themselves.
I'll admit I've tried some of Demba Ba's strawberry syrup myself and although it's pretty sweet, it's not half bad. Next I'll have to give Papiss Cisse's yassa a go and if Ba wants to start scoring again then maybe he should too!

/// HP Shares Dragged Down Following Microsoft Earnings Miss
Since the start of 2013, shares of Hewlett-Packard have been on a tear. After bottoming out at $11.71 late last year, the share have risen by more than 80 percent since the start of 2013, making it the best performing stock to own on the Dow 30. Today all the negative vibes surround the PC business finally caught up to HP. Yesterday's earnings miss by software giant Microsoft is turning out to be a negative read-through on the world's number two PC maker. As of 11:20 AM New York Time, HP shares were down more than one dollar or nearly four percent to $25.33 a share. Before today, HP shares have seemed to defy the persistent woes that have been lingering over the industry like a bad smell. Last week when the market research firms Gartner and IDC reported that HP had fallen to China's Lenovo as the world's top PC vendor during the second quarter, its shares didn't fall. As the buyout drama surrounding Dell has played out and focused heavily on that company's exposure to the declining PC business, HP shares have continued to climb. Even when the chipmaker Intel reported quarterly earnings that were short of the already pared-back expectations of Wall Street analysts, HP shares stayed relatively buoyant. Perhaps relatively solid results from IBM , a key HP rival in the enterprise computing and services space helped offset any spillover in worry from Intel. Finally it took word from Microsoft that not only had it missed expectations, but that it was taking a $900 million charge on unsold Surface RT tablets, that appears to have brought HP shares back down. HP has been trying to get traction for its Elite Pad hybrid tablet device. A lot of hopes for a recovery among the traditional PC vendors have been pinned on tablets. If Microsoft is having trouble selling one of the higher-profile devices in the category, it probably doesn't mean good things for HP

BRISTOL, R.I. – Like a friendly swarm of worker bees, the students in the yellow t-shirts descended on 30 local communities Monday to dedicate a full day of service to community organizations in need.
Aboard buses bound for Bristol, Providence, Fall River and beyond, nearly 1,200 students, faculty and staff departed campus to participate in the 9th Annual Community Connections Day – a daylong introduction to service in which teams of volunteers staff more than 50 sites across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
In what's become one of the largest single-day service programs in the region – and the only of its kind among colleges in Rhode Island, according to KC Ferrara – incoming students partner with scores of community organizations to support their efforts clearing nature trails, preparing food for the homeless, creating art projects with developmentally disabled adults and myriad other activities.
Launched in 2005, Community Connections is a cornerstone of RWU's orientation program for new students, almost immediately encouraging them to become engaged members of what will be their new home for the next four years.
"Community Connections shows the students how important and committed we are to the value of community service," says KC Ferrara, director of the University's Feinstein Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement. "It's a foundational experience that underlies their whole experience here at the University and in the local community. For some of them it's a way to serve in their new home and for others its an introduction to service they've never done before."
As he headed out with his group for a day of cleaning parks with Bristol's Parks and Recreation Department, Elias AlHur was motivated to connect with new friends and explore his new community.
"I'm going to take this experience with me for the whole year," says AlHur, an engineering major. "That's a good way to start the semester."
Having a close relationship with her grandmother spurred Amie Evans, a criminal justice major, to volunteer at East Providence's senior center, where she felt she could make the most meaningful impact: "It's not only a bonding experience with the community but the satisfaction of knowing we're here to help," she says.
For some, the Community Connections experience extends beyond freshman year. Though her day of service was a year ago, the lasting impression inspired Claudia Rightmire to assist in organizing this year's effort. She says that her experience sorting donations of food and clothes at a local food pantry humbled her when she compared it to the abundant offerings of the RWU Commons. But what was most rewarding to Rightmire, a dance and journalism double major, was the thank you she received at the end of the day – and the feeling that she helped others in need.

The plow passes along on both sides of the rows, just near enough for the wing to fairly reach the tap-root, which it severs.
Does the plant have a tap-root, or do the roots spread laterally?
From this tap-root other small ones branch off, and these divide repeatedly, forming a complex root system.
It is the tap-root of invention, of discovery, of originality.
You were such a devil of a fellow for getting at the tap-root of a subject.
The roots are of extraordinary length, a tree 77 feet in girth having a tap-root 110 feet in length.
And you must push it heartily, and likewise cut the tap-root of it (seize its big guns), or it will not roll away.
Mr. Rush: I have had a little experience with the tap-root theory.
He was quaking down to the tap-root of his salt-hardened soul, but he tried to put a different face on it as he took up his plow.
A member: You wouldn't recommend cutting back that tap-root too severely, would you?
The main root in gymnosperms, eudicotyledons, and magnoliids, usually stouter than the lateral roots and growing straight downward from the stem. The taproot develops from the primary root. The taproot and its lateral roots penetrate deeper into the soil than the fibrous roots characteristic of monocotyledons. Compare fibrous root.

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has spoken candidly in the past about her ''spending problem'': her love of first-class air travel is well known, as is a penchant for five-star hotels and chauffeur-driven limousines.
As she braved the paparazzi at a Los Angeles charity function on Sunday, supported and holding hands with her daughter, Beatrice, the shamed former royal was forced to admit her other weakness: ''a serious lapse in judgment''.
As her apparently unsuspecting former husband, Prince Andrew, jetted back into London to find he had been ''sold'' for £500,000 ($870,000), the duchess issued a statement saying she was ''devastated'' by the footage shot by an undercover News of the World reporter who, it turns out, has some form himself.
The man who inveigled the duchess into a long, boozy dinner and the seductive sight of $US40,000 ($48,000) in fresh bills beside an ashtray and a bottle of wine afterwards is Mahzer Mahmood, whose elaborate stings have trapped celebrities, royals and crooks in the past.
It was Mahmood who posed as an Arab sheikh and met the former PR woman, now the Countess of Wessex, Sophie Rhys-Jones at a £1200-a-night suite in London's swank Dorchester Hotel. There, after his trademark alcohol-led MO (that time it was expensive champagne), he pitched for a phantom £20,000-a-month PR account. The Countess let fly with what The Guardian described as ''toe-curlingly embarrassing'' remarks about everyone, from her in-laws to the then prime minister, Tony Blair.
But then, the royal PR machine went into gear for one of its own. Not one word was published - although the Countess gave the paper a trade-off exclusive interview. Other tabloids ran with the story anyway.
For Fergie however, there is no PR machine nor royal lawyers. She issued a statement, alone, after being seen bawling on a late night flight: ''I very deeply regret the situation and the embarrassment caused,'' she said. ''It is true that my financial situation is under stress. However, that is no excuse for a serious lapse in judgment and I am very sorry that this has happened.''
The latest episode has once again raised questions not only of the shocking lack of personal judgment by the Duchess and her sister-in-law before her, but equally, just how fair or ethical it is to use a bogus identity to try and trap women who are trying work and earn a stipend within the confines of marriage - or relationship - to the royal family.
While public opprobrium has been stinging in London over the weekend there is also discussion about just how a former royal who did not receive a life settlement after her divorce can earn a living.
Ms Ferguson's charitable work, from writing a book for children and frenetic appearances at fund-raisers, were derided in the past, as were the six-figure deals to unabashedly lend her name to big brands such as Weight Watchers and Avon. However after her confessed profligacy and years of work in the US, she earned some public approval for repaying her first round of debts - reportedly £4 million - in the mid-1990s.
Now, however, she is believed to be on the brink of bankruptcy and it was rumours of her attempts to sell access to her husband for cash which apparently attracted the eye of Mahmood and his newspaper.
Nobody really knows exactly how much the duchess owes, although Hartmoor LLC, the US company she had a 51 per cent stake in, is to be wound up owing more than $1 million.
Certainly, her projects in the past few years have been odd - and less than profitable - to say the least.
In 2008, she spent six months with a family of six living on benefits in Hull for an ITV documentary, which she promoted saying: ''I could live in a council house and below the benefit line, of course. Anyone could.''
That line alone - like access to a royal - is priceless.
