The Russian poet Joseph Brodsky once described prison as a place where there was not enough Space and far too much Time. Although the hours in a day remain as constant as the turning of the Earth, the pace of time varies according to the biology of every living creature, and changes with age even within our own species. This is an experience puzzled over by philosophers, calculated by mathematicians, and analysed by psychologists. Eva Hoffman, one of our most lucid thinkers, explores cosmology and physiology, neuro-science and the deepest reaches of the unconscious in order to probe the nature of this mysterious dimension.
We are unusually privileged to live, at least in the developed world, at a period when human longevity has been amazingly extended. When the ancient world talked of the brevity of life they had in mind an average span of 25 years - though if you made it through the perils of infancy you might expect about 40.
These days an increasing number of people live beyond 80, and succeeding generations may hope to reach a hundred. It could well be the young will come to rebel against the burden put on their shoulders by further advances in medicine. Nevertheless, however we exceed the Biblical span, our time will one day run out, and all our efforts are predicated on that knowledge. Given such impermanence, what significance can we attribute to our exertions? Hoffman sees the prevailing ethos of the late capitalist world bleakly: faith in God replaced by hedonism, moments of pleasure consumed desperately, all of us driven onward by our desires.
After decades of expansion and its spoilages, we no longer find ideas of human perfectibility, or even progress, sustainable. Instead, we are driven, as she puts it, to submit ourselves willingly to rigid schedules, which might have been thought tyrannical in most other places and periods.
Surely this is not quite right? Consider the drudgery of women in ages past, the slaves of Pharaoh, the mill fodder for the Industrial Revolution, the Siberian inhabitants of the Gulag. Many periods in human history come to mind from which people might look on the pressures of our own days as little more than inconveniences. What makes this book so original, however, is the way Hoffman uses the tools of contemporary science to consider these matters; to explore, for instance, the mechanisms that have evolved in our brain, the map euroscience can now draw between our centres of thought and response, the precision of animal adjustment to the rhythms and cycles of the earth. Even questions that might have preoccupied Sir Thomas Browne in his 17th-century Urn Burial - do mice in fact feel as though they live as long as an elephant? Is there a relation between the rate of heartbeat and longevity? - are given a context of contemporary scientific thinking.
Yet her description of our subjective inner world is most arresting. Hoffman is already something of an authority on the differences between the culture of Eastern European countries and the freewheeling West. In this book, she explains the absence of pressure felt by people trapped in a world where change seems unlikely as if it were not altogether a loss. As a consequence, there are acres of time available for introspection or metaphysical speculation. Using Ryszard Kapuszinski's travels too she is able to contrast European time in general with African time, where the "ubiquitous energy-defeating presence" of the sun may lead to the appearance of apathy.
This not an impersonal book. Hoffman writes poignantly about the dystopia in Milan Kundera's novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being. There Sabina chooses exile above her native land and finds a freedom which eventually becomes an unbearable burden, and a loneliness in which nothing any longer matters. At the opening, Hoffman confesses to a lifelong obsession with time. As we go on, it becomes clear that the true subject of this intriguing and highly readable book is the nature of being alive.

Knock0ff News March 01, 2016 13:07
Well, I've never had personal identity theft happen, except for receiving a few replacement credit cards here and there. I never knew how scary it could be when it happened to my bags and business.
Sales had started to slip, and I realized that my whale bags and my shower bags were being copied and sold on Amazon, and that my whole web page from 10 years ago till now was on view on the Alibaba Web Site in China, for anyone to copy bags from.
Several bankrolls later, Saltwater Canvas® and the Whale Bag® are now registered trademarks. I have learned a lot, not only going through the process of obtaining a lawyer and of getting materials together to apply for a trademark, but realizing how very much I want to save my business, which will be 25 years old this July. I have spent night and day in the web trenches, uncovering copies, companies, and deceit. Beachmall.com, and 101Snorkel have been calling their copied bags Whale Bags, for years. Another company, Towel Specialties, has been selling whale bag copies wholesale to eBay businesses, who have been calling them the whale bag also, and has been selling them for outrageous low to high prices.
One company in South Africa ordered 2 whale bags about a year ago, claimed they never arrived, so I had to send them out again, are now are selling exact copies of my whale bags down there. I emailed them, and was told they were not copies, and I dug deep to find the actual order for the exact beach bags and colors they copied.
DormCo.com, a former customer, has helped himself to my shower bags, copied them poorly, and makes fun of my bags:
On his website, he claims: "Canvas Mesh Tote - STRONGEST Shower Bag" even though they are mesh, to imply the name Saltwater Canvas. That is a trick I've seen, a Saltwater or a Canvas to suggest our company had something to do with his mess. Even though he has copied our shower bag, he has an insult for us. I do think he needs a grammar lesson in parallel structure: "Compare: Saltwater Black Mesh Tote to Our DormCo.com version is far cheaper and HIGH Quality". He then goes on to say: "Dorm Co. Tip: Have a second shower tote to hold back-up supplies". That says to me, buy a second one for when the first one breaks. I have noted that the pockets on his shower bags are so skinny they hardly hold a comb.
After a Cease and Desist letter from the lawyer, things are better, but it makes me sick to see all the shabby stuff out there on Amazon.
Curiously, Amazon states clearly that it does not allow knockoffs or copies, but they do not support the Trademark symbols which tell people quite clearly to stay away.
We have almost finished copyrighting the Saltwater Canvas Web Site, so once we have that paperwork in hand, we will go after Alibaba, sort of the Amazon of factories in China, India, all over, who will be forced to take down the copies of my website.
In any case, we have survived the attack, and are well stocked for the spring and summer sales. As always, look for the label. I really appreciate it when a customer calls, usually regarding an Amazon page, to see if they are getting the real thing. I can say yes, and I can also sleep at night.

Today it is all about cleaning GREEN in the Kitchen.
I discovered ECOVER one day while stopping at the local market for a couple of quick items. I must admit that I was immediately drawn to the products for their pretty, simple packaging. Then I read the bottle of dishwashing liquid. The list of ingredients was short, simple, and I could pronounce everything there! I tried it, loved it, and then got the dishwasher tablets. They got my dishes cleaner than the non-green brand I was using. I looked at the company online and was so pleased to find that they opened the world's first ecological factory! Their products are safe, biodegradable, and made from renewable products. And besides all that, they smell great too!

"We have security as the number one priority, so that [release] date is totally security driven. We've established security checks all along the way," said Enrique Murray, Microsoft's Latin America marketing manager.
Windows .Net Server was scheduled for the first half of this year, but last month Microsoft postponed the launch until the second half.
In January, Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, launched an initiative to improve the security of its products.
"Now, when we face a choice between adding features and resolving security issues, we need to choose security," he said in a written statement at the time.

Watch this space: the trickle - of undervalued, quoted firms succumbing to management buyouts - may turn into a flood.
Last week saw one more - travel agent Hogg Robinson - with another in prospect following news that aerospace engineer McKechnie is in talks with Cinven, one of the UK's biggest buyout firms.
There's certainly a wall of money chasing deals. Last Thursday another of the big players, CVC, raised £2 billion. Nomura is pursuing Associated British Ports and Hyder, the Welsh water and electricity group. And it's only a matter of time before Alchemy pops up again after being snubbed by BMW at Rover.
This column has suggested a few yardsticks, such as price and yield, to help pick undervalued shares likely to recover.
Approaches to the likes of McKechnie remind us of another: where executive share options are so out of the money that incentives are diminished. A bid, of course, also puts them above water.
For now, McKechnie is firmly in play and the shares - at 380p against a mooted 400p offer price - are a buy.
Cheap Abbey
There's nothing the market - and the press - likes better in a quiet, after-Easter period, than a juicy bit of specula tion. And right now racy talk of a Barclays bid for Abbey National fits the bill. Nothing, of course, can be ruled out, especially as Barclays has a racy new chief executive in situ .
But there are good reasons to regard the tale as nonsense. And they have nothing to do with branch-cutting mergers, likely to be frowned on after the Cruickshank report into the banking industry.
First, as senior Barclays insiders confirm, any Barclays bid is likely to be highly dilutive. That would send the share price diving and hit the management, with their extravagant new performance bonuses, right in the pocket.
Second, Abbey chief executive Ian Harley is determined not to be swallowed. Any deal with Barclays would simply trigger a counter-bid from Brian Pitman's Lloyds TSB.
Nervertheless, the talk would not be circulating if Abbey's shares weren't ludicrously cheap. At 831p, they are trading well below the 990p at which they ended last year. Buy for recovery.
Gulping oxygen
Perversely, it has taken the thoroughness - or lethargy, depending which side you're on - of US regulators to save a fine British company from a Franco-American carve-up. As a result of the Federal Trade Commission's refusal to jump to Air Liquide and Air Products' bid timetable, the British Oxygen Company can breathe independence.
It was always a scandal that City institutions were prepared to accept £14.60 a share now rather than reap the benefits of BOC's hefty investment a couple of years down the line. Against that marker, the group's price - 984p now the deal has collapsed - looks extremely cheap. The trouble is that, on the face of it, after a full 10 months of damaging destabilisation since this £7bn bid was announced, BOC looks a far more risky investment than before. It has lost a good chief executive, for starters.
All that, however, looks to be discounted in the price. Analysts still put BOC's value at more than £11 a share. And, like twin Arnie Schwarzeneggers, 'We'll be back', the predators-cum-terminators have already vowed.
Track events
Last week's look at sportswear group Hay & Robertson was timely. On Wednesday, BSkyB's bid for Sports Internet duly arrived and with it an offer for H&R's stake in the firm. H&R shares rose 14p to 257p as a result.
But, as we said, hold for more developments in due course.

La Grange fish vendor dies in hit-and-run
The police are on the hunt for the driver who struck down and killed a La Grange, West Bank Demerara, fish vendor early this morning.
Baldeo "Painter" Mohan, 50, left his Lot 33 Doctor Dam, La Grange, home around 2 am to purchase fish at the Goed Fortuin koker. He met his demise shortly after on the La Grange Public Road.
Roop Mohan said his family was alerted about his brother's death some time around 5 am, when persons in the area raised an alarm after discovering the man's mangled body at the edge of a canal. The car and driver apparently fled the area, but a portion of the car's bumper was recovered at the scene.
At Mohan's home, relatives were trying to console his wife of 35 years, Nowrani Mohan, who was unable to speak. One of them said Mohan had left on his cycle for the koker some time around 2, which was his usual routine. They believe that he was struck down by a car while riding on the La Grange Public Road, in the vicinity of "Rambo Shop."
According to La Grange residents, they heard a loud impact some time around 2.15 am but they did not investigate it because it is a norm for drivers to collide with animals on the road.
Roop Mohan told Stabroek News that he was puzzled at how the car collided with his brother, since the street is brightly lit. He added that it is suspected that the impact of the collision hurled his brother about 50 feet.
The police are investigating and a source said the skid marks on the road suggested that the driver was speeding when the accident occurred.
Relatives suggested that Mohan may have lived if the driver who hit him had taken him to the hospital or if the residents who heard the impact went out to investigate.
His daughter, Devi Mohan, said that although her father usually left in the wee hours of the morning, he was never involved in an accident.
Mohan was a prominent fish vendor in La Grange community and many of his customers said that his death was untimely and that he would be missed. They also called on the police to bring the driver to justice, saying that the way that Mohan died was "inhumane."
"How can you just hit someone down and leave them there to die? That is just heartless!" said an irate resident.
Mohan, who was described as a generous and jovial person, is survived by his wife and two children.

Years Active
2005 – present (12 years)
French ensemble, The Delano Orchestra, use everything from the bouzouki to the glockenspiel to craft their elegant understated tracks, but it's the soft-spoken, whispered vocals that create their intimate sound. Scratchy electric guitars and soothing trumpets fill out the somber "Between Day and Night" while the melody of "Spread Our Little Wings" exudes a warming charm. Both tracks are from their endearingly-named debut album A little girl, a little boy, and all the snails they have drawn.

Should Christchurch's 185 White Chairs stay or go?by RNZ
According to TripAdvisor, the art installation is Christchurch's top landmark attraction and 4th ranked in New Zealand.
Artist, Majendie, doesn't care for such accolades. He likes that his work touches people in different way and that "in a sense it transcends the earthquake, though it's rooted in the earthquake."
An infant car seat was given by a couple who lost their baby to cot death.
"People can bring their own story and sit with it," says Majendie.
Some chairs have been gifted by families who lost loved ones on February 22, but there has also been criticism from others who claim the installation is inappropriate. A bid to install 185 White Chairs on the CTV site was rejected.
In response, Majendie says it's not a memorial, it's art, and "the empty chair is depicting the absence of the person, it's not as if this chair is the person".
"Everybody experiences at some stage there is now an empty chair at their table," he says.
Majendie has collected stacks of visitor books left at the site, overflowing with comments.
He wants to see the installation find a permanent site and his preference is Latimer Square. This week he will present to the Christchurch City Council his plans which include aluminium-cast chairs arranged on a sloping, concrete plinth.
"I've talked about the city needing a soul or a spirit or a heart. I think those are the things that make a city what a city is."

The 3 per cent hike was announced yesterday by Alistair Darling who said the minimum wage had gone up by almost 30 per cent more than inflation since 1999.
"Just ten years ago home workers could be paid as little as 35p an hour, cleaners £1.30 an hour and security guards £2.25 an hour, which was bad for families and just plain wrong," added the Trade and Industry Secretary.
"I am proud of the minimum wage, proud of how it is helping families and proud of the role it plays in the modern economy we are delivering."
Mr Darling announced that industries employing large numbers of migrant workers will be targeted to ensure they pay the proper rates.
The rate for 18 to 21-year-olds will rise by 15p to £4.60 an hour while that for 16 and 17-year-olds goes up 10p to £3.40.
The new rates are based on advice from the Low Pay Commission, which said the pattern of above-inflation rises was coming to an end.
The independent body's recommendation that 21-year-olds should receive the adult rate was rejected.
Dave Prentis, of the health union Unison, said the adult rate should have been set at a minimum of £6 an hour. "We are deeply disappointed at the proposal to raise the minimum wage by just 17p," he added.
"This is a missed opportunity to close the growing gap between the rich and poor."
But John Cridland, of the Confederation of British Industry, praised the Government for showing restraint.
"With interest rates and inflation rising, this is not the year for unaffordable wage increases," he said.

|WikiProject Photography
|(Rated Start-class)
The article claims that Bronica cameras originally utilized Nikon Kogaku Kikai lenses, and refers to these lenses parenthetically as Nikkor lenses. But the phrase "Nikon Kogaku Kikai" appears nowhere in the references, or anywhere else in Google besides this article, and I've never seen a Nikon-made Bronica lens inscribed with anything other than Nikkor or Nippon Kogaku (not "Nikon Kogaku"). A search for Nippon Kogaku Kikai turns up a few results for "Higashi Nippon Kogaku Kikai Kyodo Kumiai," whatever that is. If no one can back up this "Kikai" business, the phrase should probably be dropped and replaced with "Nippon Kogaku" or just "Nikkor." --Stybn (talk) 07:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't know when the manufacturer changed but I have a Bronica ETRS and both MC lenses (50 and 75mm) are made by Seiko. February 4, 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Most ETR lenses were made by Bronica and branded Zenzanon (a few lenses for the ETR series were produced by Schneider but these are rare). The Seiko on the lens refers to the shutter inside the lens (leaf shutters were supplied by Seiko). Sudhir (talk) 07:24, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I am now busy with the client-side logic. My hopes is to have most of the app finished by 6:00.
I can always just go sit at the event to fix the crucial things, the droplet is linked to the master branch, so I can theoretically just push a commit up and the site is updated.

PHOENIX – "It brings tears to your eyes, honestly it does," Heather Enos, project OSIRIS-REx's second-in-command said on the phone from Florida.She was on the ground with a couple dozen members of her team as the spacecraft made the trek to its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center.
"I have said, 'OK, we're onto the next big step in this significant milestone,'" Enos said.
This is the largest investment NASA has made in the space programs at Arizona's universities. The price tag is nearly $1 billion over the next 14 years.
ASU professor Jim Bell didn't work on this project, but as a planetary scientist, he's sent many things into space and knows what the team is feeling on the eve of the launch.
"Kind of [a] strange mix of wanting to sing and dance and wanting to be happy, and then wanting to throw up at the same time," Bell said.
Members of the Space-X launch team likely felt similar emotions last week when it lost a rocket. Enos said that moment flashed through her mind as the Atlas V rocket carrying OSIRIS-REx got into position.
"It also is any opportunity for us to be humble and remember that this is a difficult business," Enos said.
But those kinds of events are the exception rather than the rule.
"That level of engineering is so incredibly high and robust," Bell said. "So much work has taken place for backup systems and redundancy that it almost always works. And when they work, they give us spectacular science results."
ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration is holding a watch party for the launch of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on Sept. 8, 2016 beginning at 3:30 p.m.

We have spent a good deal of time in the kitchen in the last few weekends, making all manner of unholy carbs (soft pretzel bites, banana bread, Scottish scones), and lots of baby food to freeze for CT. I love spending time in the kitchen, and I feel like it is the home base for family tradition.
I would love to have box full of recipes to hand down someday. Currently my recent recipes are scattered through my to-do list notebook (I would post a picture, but it is pitiful, and not worthy next to the inspiring photos below). I have been writing down everything we have tried on Pinterest (Tip I learned: Don't forget to title the recipes so you can tell one from another when you flip back through the pages -- d'oh!). Someday I will organize all of the recipes I have, hopefully using beautiful cards and a beautiful recipe box, worthy of tradition.
There are so many talented people in this world and they inspire me daily. Here are some of the things from around the web that put a smile on my face:
These cards by Katie Kouture on Etsy are fun, colorful, and pretty, all wrapped into one.
I do love a little whimsy, and these polka dot cards by Kayden Ashley on Etsy are so sweet, especially for sharing recipes.
While I do a pretty good job of cleaning up the kichen after monster cooking sessions, my clothes don't usually end up so lucky, especially if there is cocoa powder involved. I think this lady-like apron from Lemon String on Etsy would be just the ticket!
To find more things that inspire me, follow me on Pinterest.
Happy weekend!

- $165 per month
- Tuition is charged monthly to your credit or debit card
- No membership fees
Tuition subsidy may be available based on income, see below and inquire for more details.
All new members start with a three-month contract. After this initial commitment your agreement is month-to-month, requiring only a thirty-day notice to cancel your membership without penalty.
We require this short-term contract because of our commitment to developing new students. Learning a new skill requires time and a strong foundation; when you begin your dojo membership, your instructors will give you the extra attention you need to build a foundation for learning martial arts.
You are eligible to attend any of our all-levels classes each week.Kickboxing Ryoku: Technique & Application
- Mon @ 7:30 pm
- Tue & Thu @ 7:30 pm
All memberships begin with a two-week trial. Get to know our dojo and see if we're a good fit before you make a commitment.

Teen Martial Arts is an extracurricular activity, designed to provide after-school support, mentorship, and training to teens and pre-teens. To achieve the benefits of martial arts training we require a season-long commitment.
Enrollment is open all-season, you can join at any time and complete the duration of the term.
Students attend classes based on their age group Kids (Middle School): 10 – 13 and Teens (High School): 14 – 16.
Your first two weeks of training are an opportunity to see if this is a good fit for the student, parent, and dojo. We'll discuss the opportunity to become a member at the end of the trial.
Email email@example.com to join.
Subsidized Rates*
To keep our dojo as inclusive as we can, we will (at our discretion) offer a discount off of our standard tuition to a percentage of our students whose income is below the rate to qualify for Low Income Public Housing.
- Adult rate: $120 per month
- Teen rate: $95 per month
Providing subsidized tuition is one way we hope to combat income inequality and create community in Seattle.
We set our prices at competitive market rates; we charge what we feel is a good value for the highest level of instruction available and an individual commitment to each student. We charge what we need to charge to sustain overhead and growth in Seattle's rapidly changing economic climate.
The reality of capitalism is that the industries that generate the highest wages are not always the ones that create the culture of a city and improve its communities. We want a dojo where artists, scientists, musicians, teachers, students, and small-business owners can also afford to train.
How to Apply
Eligibility for subsidized tuition is based on the qualification guidelines for Low Income Public Housing Eligibility through the Seattle Housing Authority, if you qualify there, you'll qualify here.
First, check the chart at the link above to see if you qualify, then provide proof of income to Fighting Chance Seattle before you join.
How it Works
We're a community-oriented dojo, not a big fitness studio, and each student relationship is important to us. We provide individualized attention and feedback to help each student meet their goals.
We encourage you to try our classes for two weeks to see if we're a good fit before you commit to training.Kickboxing Foundation Program – Basic Techniques and Circuit Training

Days after revealing that CU Buffs head football coach Mike MacIntyre would make a $100,000 donation to a domestic-violence fund to acknowledge mistakes made related to assault accusations against former assistant coach Joe Tumpkin, the University of Colorado's Board of Regents has approved a five-year contract extension that will give him a raise of nearly $1 million per annum, plus an additional $100,000 on the last day of 2021, when the pact expires. The timing of these announcements suggests that mea culpas delivered earlier this week were intended to serve as cover for the head coach in the matter involving Tumpkin, who remained on the CU payroll for nearly a month after MacIntyre first spoke to the victim of what she describes as more than 100 assaults.

MIAA's Annual Health Check on the state of Health and Social Care
Friday, April 7, 2017
Location: Haydock Park Racecourse (Lancaster Suite)
MIAA's Annual Health Check on the state of Health and Social Care was introduced by Tim Crowley, Managing Director of MIAA. Tim welcomed everyone to the event with a key question about the future sustainability of health and social care. He introduced the first speaker, Anita Charlesworth, Chief Economist, The Health Foundation who presented a coherent narrative on how the funding of the NHS was playing out with some key priorities/ challenges for Board members to consider.
Anita summarised the current economic and financial position, reviewing the financial spend, proportion of deficits and the share of annual increase in NHS England spend by sector. The biggest conundrum was where this earlier NHS investment had gone and the analysis pointed to the fact that almost 45% was in the Non NHS provider sector. It was clear that going forward 2018/19 is going to be very challenging. Anita emphasised that drug costs are now emerging as a growing cost pressure for the system.
Challenge: Are you focussing on your medicine costs and what assurances does the Board receive in respect of medicines management?
Anita also highlighted the changes in activity over the period 2013/14 to 15/16, which found that elective inpatient activity within the NHS had an average increase of only 2.4%, but the mix of activity is changing with an increased focus on Emergency and short stay and outpatient activity, all of which has implications for cost, delivery and finance models that has not yet been fully realised.
Challenge: Do you understand how activity is changing in your organisation together with the impact this brings operationally?
Her final focus was on the workforce which she believes is the biggest challenge. During the recent period of austerity, an analysis of the change in number of staff between 2010 and 2016, demonstrates an increase in consultant numbers of over 20%. However during this same period there has been a decrease in consultant productivity by 2.3% a year. Anita suggested that without a corresponding increase in nursing numbers the support is simply not available to maximise on this investment. The NHS won't be sustainable unless this can be turned around.
· Do you know how productive your consultants are and what variation there is in their productivity from the national average?
· How are you assured that the staffing model and skills mix in your organisation delivers quality, safe and cost effective patient care?
· What are your workforce plans over the next 5-10 years that take account of the impact of Brexit?
Councillor Linda Thomas, Vice Chair of the LGA's Community Wellbeing Board and Deputy Leader of Bolton Council gave the local authority perspective for adult social care funding . Linda reiterated the fact that adult social care transforms peoples' lives and matters to us all and ensuring the sustainability of the sector was important to all those within local government and health. Linda outlined the scale of the cuts faced by local government and how local councils were struggling to close the funding gap. Linda outlined the importance of the additional funding secured within the recent budget, but that this could only be a short term, small scale support. Competing for funding with the NHS is not helpful and Linda advocated that mature relationships between NHS and social care was about having a joint intention, shared values and building trust on a local scale.
Our last speaker Chris Hopson, Chief Executive, NHS Providers started off his presentation by arguing that workforce challenges are as big as financial pressures going forward. Currently there is no strategic answer to this. His concern is that government interventions are not solving the underlying issues and are fixing short term problems in an unsustainable way. Chris talked through the " storm clouds gathering" in terms of the political, financial and operational environment and posed the question " is this mission impossible?", given the cost/demand versus funding/ efficiency requirements.
Chris questioned the progress of STPs and the difficulties faced in terms of governance when the current legislation limits the delegation of decision making powers and Trusts/ CCGs have statutory powers. Progress is being made but this is not consistent. Chris finished by saying 'You can sort the money relatively easily if you have to. You can't sort workforce issues in the same way.'
Tim chaired a question and answer session with the panel and summarised the event. In difficult times heroic things are done.

Stack founder Steven Watson shares five of his top magazines
Steven Watson started Stack back in 2008 as a quick and easy way for people to enjoy the best independent magazines. Every month, Stack selects a different magazine and delivers it direct to thousands of subscribers around the world. With so many great independent magazines around at the moment, Steve wanted another way to put the best print in front of readers, so last year he also launched Sampler, a weekly flash sale that drops a different magazine offer into your inbox every Thursday morning, giving 10% off the cover price. Here to give us a taster, Steve skims his shelves and picks out some of his favourite Sampler offers so far.
Steven Gregor: Gym Class Magazine
I love the cover of this latest issue, featuring a rare copy of The Face with Eminem in a pink vest. Apparently his "people" went nuts when they saw the original because they thought it made him look gay, so the entire run was pulped and reprinted with him in a photoshopped orange vest. That sort of weird print geekery is what Gym Class is all about, which means it's basically catnip for Sampler members.
Bertie Brandes and Charlotte Roberts: The Mushpit
I find Mushpit totally irresistible – it's a satirical feminist magazine that's funny, cool and sexy, and it has the sort of energy you only get when people are having fun and doing exactly what they want. They even started their own political party, New Labia. I'm not sure there's a manifesto as such, but there are definitely T-shirts.
Human After All: Weapons of Reason
This was our best-selling Sampler offer to date, which I think says a lot about Sampler members. Weapons of Reason focuses on a different global challenge each issue (this one was population, seen through the prism of megacities) and uses illustration to present its insightful, revealing stories in a very accessible way. It's perfect for the generalist reader who wants to go beyond the mainstream.
Lazlo Moulton: The Lazlo Reader
I really like the way that Sampler lets us explore niches. The first issue of The Lazlo Reader was a strange piece of arts publishing based around the theme of second chances, so it's full of stories about remixing, remaking and re-contextualising. At £20 it's fairly expensive, so you might expect it to not sell very well, but we sold over 50 copies in the few days the offer was live. It seems that people like to have weird stuff dropped into their inbox every now and then!
Bertrand Trichet and Olivier Talbot: Acid
We sent out Acid in the week before Christmas, but I don't think people were ready for a surf magazine at that time of year. It's a great magazine though and a brilliant read – it revolves around surfing, but it's also a brilliantly trippy, arts-inspired magazine about life and love and finding your place in the world.

Abbott gets U.S. antitrust approval to buy St. Jude Medical
By Diane Bartz
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Healthcare company Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N: Quote) has won U.S. antitrust approval for its proposed $25 billion acquisition of medical device maker St. Jude Medical Inc STJ.N, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.
Abbott agreed to divest two medical devices used in cardiovascular procedures to resolve FTC concerns the acquisition would stifle competition, the commission said in a statement.
"We continue to work to obtain final regulatory approvals and anticipate closing before the end of the year or shortly thereafter," Abbott spokeswoman Elissa Maurer said in an email.
The company will sell St. Jude's vascular closure device and Abbott's steerable sheath to Japan-based Terumo Corp (4543.T: Quote). In October, Abbott said the companies would sell some of their medical device businesses to Terumo for about $1.12 billion as a step toward completing the deal.
Vascular closure devices are used to seal small holes made in an artery to prevent bleeding following a coronary angiogram, a special x-ray to see if coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed. Steerable sheaths are used to help place catheters into the heart.
European antitrust enforcers agreed to the deal in November provided the companies divest the two devices. Representatives for Abbott and St. Jude were not immediately available for comment.
Abbott has said the deal will help it compete against larger rivals Medtronic Plc (MDT.N: Quote) and Boston Scientific Corp (BSX.N: Quote) as hospitals look to cut the number of their suppliers.
St. Jude has been under pressure after short-seller Muddy Waters and research firm MedSec Holdings said in August that its heart devices were riddled with defects that make them vulnerable to cyber hacks. St. Jude has denied the allegations and sued both firms. Continued...

Northern Helicopters is proud to offer a high class flight training program for military and government agencies such as police forces etc.
We are taking a very strong position on the market with this advanced training program. With our EASA approved training organization as well as the most modern equipment such as the EC120 which is the aircraft to be used for the entire training, we have positioned ourselves as a very strong competitor with the quality and course contents. There are other large training providers on the market but they are using old technology which is not really in line with today's purchase of military equipment.
We will continue the development throughout the year, especially for NVG training which can also be used for the EMS operations.
