My sixth response to the 100 letters I mailed out was from one Mark Baker-Wright. Mark's letter appeared in issue 61, entitled: The Primal Scream.
Mark's story starts out a little different then the others I've interviewed. See, mark found out about my little project from a facebook post about it. Mark even talks about having his letter show up in the Transformers comic on a blog post he wrote entitled: The Single Most Cataclysmically Important Transformers Story, Ever.
Mark's Letter in the 80s Marvel comic reads:
Dear Transmissions,
After reading the several million letters you have printed by people begging you to bring back certain characters, I feel it is time to start giving your writers some advice. They shouldn't pay so much attention to which new toys Hasbro are producing, and -most importantly- it shouldn't matter that Hasbro is no longer producing certain characters as toys. Just because these characters aren't made anymore doesn't mean you have to kill them off in the comic!
In the 55 issues so far I have seen many characters (good and bad) killed off: Shockwave, Megatron and (everyone's favorite) Starscream, to name some Decepticons, and Jazz, Blasters and Sunstreaker, on the Autobot side. Please stop this trend before all we're left with are Pretenders, Micromasters, Powermasters and the like!
I'd better just add this I've just flicked to the final page of issue #56, and seen Megatron! So perhaps this letter was unnecessary.
Mark Wright
Louisvill, KY
Mark gave me some of his time to answer my questions. So here is Mark, 3o-ish years later.
How did you discover the Transformers?
I *think* I saw Bumblebee in the toy store before I even knew what Transformers were, but won't swear to it. I first became familiar with the franchise through friends at school, and through the cartoon mini-series which aired a couple of times before the series proper began.
For the most part, I either got my comics from the grocery store or via subscription (especially once I figured out that subscriptions were cheaper than getting the issues from the store!). I got every issue as it came out starting with issue #8, but did have to go back by various means to collect issues #1-7 (especially comic shops. But the closest to me was on the opposite end of town, so this was by no means convenient) I'm quite proud of having every Transformers-related comic Marvel US ever put out (with this caveat: I only have one issue of the "digests" that only collected a couple of previously-released issues, as well as only one of the "collected comics" softcovers… In this case the one that collected issues 1-3 in a slightly-edited form. I don't know how many "collected comics" were released).
What compelled you to write to Marvel's Transformers?
My letter itself (as well as my blog entry) gets to this fairly well. It was clear at this point in time that the Transformers toy line was focused on just a couple of line-wide gimmicks each year (at the time that I wrote, this would have been Pretenders and Micromasters. A year or so later, it was just Action Masters and Micromasters), and I was afraid that the comics would be following suit (which, to a degree, of course they were).
What was it like to see your letter printed in the back of the comic?
I was pretty excited to see my letter printed. After all, I was just 15 at the time, and this was like becoming famous!
Who are you today and are you still a Transformers fan?
I'm still a Transformers fan, and keep pretty active in the online community. Besides my blog, Blackrock's Toybox, I'm pretty well-known on several of the more prominent message boards, where I've used the moniker "G.B. Blackrock" for many years now. I work as support staff in higher education, having completed almost 15 years on the staff of Fuller Theological Seminary, and now working at Azusa Pacific University for just over a year.

SANTA CLARA — The university is standing behind coach Kerry Keating's offer to help students who want to cheer on his Santa Clara basketball team against Gonzaga on Saturday but have no place to stay because dorms are closed during the holiday break.
Keating offered to pay $100 for each hotel room occupied by Santa Clara students (two to four per room) who have a ticket to the game at the Leavey Center.
By midafternoon Friday, 11 students had called to take advantage of the offer, and the game was listed as a sellout.
Keating's gesture does not violate NCAA rules, according to an official with the West Coast Conference.
"It's open to every student," said Brad Hurlbut, a senior associate commissioner with the WCC. "It's not just for student-athletes, so it's not looked at as an extra benefit or anything like that."

Extra fungicide option for controlling rust in faba beans
Author: Natalie Lee | Date: 28 Jun 2013
Faba bean growers in Western Australia can now access another chemical option for the control of rust in their crops.
Pulse Australia and the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) advise that tebuconazole fungicide can be used for rust management in faba and broad bean crops in all states, following approval by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicine Authority of Pulse Australia's application for a new permit for tebuconazole use.
Pulse Australia industry development manager (WA), Alan Meldrum, said the permit had been granted as a result of residue studies and trial work conducted through the GRDC-funded 'registration for minor use chemicals for the grains industry' project.
This GRDC project aims to improve the number of pest and disease management options available to growers of minor grains and oilseed crops, ensuring that growers have access to a variety of sustainable pest and disease management tools that aid long-term competitiveness and are cost effective.
Mr Meldrum said tebuconazole had previously been approved for application early in the crop cycle to control the fungal disease cercospora, but now it could also be applied later in the season to control both cercospora and rust.
"Rust in faba and broad beans has been more prevalent in recent years, particularly in southern Australia," Mr Meldrum said.
"Rust has the potential to reduce seed size and, if not controlled, could cause a reduction in yield of 30 to 40 per cent.
"While other products are available to control rust, having another option means growers can choose a cheaper product and are able to rotate fungicide groups to avoid resistance developing to a particular chemical group."
The new permit for tebuconazole has been issued as PER13752, and applies from May 31, 2013, until June 30, 2016. A copy is available from the APVMA website, http://permits.apvma.gov.au/PER13752.PDF. The previous permit (PER12657), which included a three-day withholding period, has been surrendered and is no longer current.
Mr Meldrum advised that significant changes are to be observed with the new permit, including that of longer withholding periods – 21 days for harvest and 14 days for grazing. More information is available from Pulse Australia, via www.pulseaus.com.au.

Oh Orlando: Florida's Escalating Building Boom
Destination: Orlando. Don your Mickey Mouse ears, grab your Orlando Magicard, and hit the parks. The amusement park hub of the world promises fun in the sun (along with stress in the lines pre-ride, and dizziness--and possible death-- apres nausea-inducing ride). And now Florida's Funland is getting bigger and badder than ever, with luxury hotels cropping up like the migraines at Epcot. The Hilton Orlando Convention Center is slated for 2009, with construction starting this year. With 18 storeys and 1,400 rooms, the hotel will be connected by a pedestrian sky bridge to the Convention Center's North Concourse. With a whopping 130,000 square feet of meeting space, the new Hilton is certainly "poised to take advantage of a booming Orlando convention market." Not to be outdone, InterContinental is plotting its largest hotel worldwide-- the InterContinental Resort and Residences Orlando-- within the $800 million luxury destination resort dubbed Palazzo del Lago. Comprised of luxury hotel and condo units, the waterfront Palazzo will also be an appendage of the Convention Center, competing with the Hilton for an on-time 2009 debut.

BERNARD Foley revealed after kicking yesterday's match-winning goal that Waratahs coach Michael Cheika had predicted they would claim victory in the 80th minute.
But Cheika could not even bring himself to watch Foley's post-siren penalty kick against the Blues, lingering in the shadows of the Allianz Stadium tunnel.
"I didn't want to see it, but I heard the crowd which was good," Cheika said after his side claimed their second win of the Super Rugby season, climbing from last to third in the Australian conference.
Foley, who last kicked a match-winning goal at school five years ago, said: "We know if we hold on to the ball teams are going to struggle to stay with us.
"At halftime we got a rev-up from the coach, as players we had to stand up.
"As a group we spoke at halftime about how we were going to get ourselves back into it.
MATCH CENTRE: WARATAHS v BLUES
"It was just that belief; 'Let's crawl back into it, we're not going to get back in it until the 80th minute'."
With the scores locked at 27-27 and the Waratahs attacking, Foley missed a field goal attempt from in front but moments later with the clock winding down past 79 minutes, NSW was awarded a penalty for a ruck infringement.
"I was pretty fortunate to line it up and hit it like I do at training," Foley said.
"That's why you practice, that's why you kick goals, to get a chance to win it for your side."
Midway through the first half, the Waratahs fell asleep against the Blues - just ask Cheika: "It was like we'd had rohypnol. We stopped running and started walking," he told Fox Sports, relieved about the last gasp win but still more than a bit cranky.
"I don't know what happened. Dumb mistakes."
He added after the game: "There's something around the attitude on those transition plays we've got to get sorted out, because we're losing the ball and next thing they're up the other end of the field scoring a try."
Each side crossed three times, with Foley and Israel Folau's second half tries crucial to the result.
After trailing 24-10 at halftime, here's what mattered during yesterday's stiflingly hot match.
The Waratahs found heart, and they found a genuine leader in Dave Dennis.
They found that Foley is a man to rely on, should you need a match-winning penalty knocked over after the siren.
The Waratahs also found out that, despite Sydney's fantastic Sunday afternoon, only 16,000 fans turned up.
But that figure, like the Tahs' hopes this season, looks sure to improve.
The victory kept alive a 10-year unbeaten streak at home against the Blues, who could manage only a sole penalty in the second half.
Foley, who took over the kicking duties because halfback Brendan McKibbin was injured in the first half, showed nerves of steel to slot over the winner and the Tahs embraced jubilantly while their loyal supporters stayed around for autographs.
Skipper Dave Dennis carried strongly twice in the final moments, which was noted by Cheika.
"Towards the end of the game particularly our leaders really stood up the fore," Cheika said.
"Dave carried a few times really well, Michael Hooper, (Adam) Ashley-Cooper in the wider channels, Pat McCutcheon with some really hard defence.
"And that's what we need, we need them to stand up when we're in a bit of strife."
Asked if that was the response he was seeking after last week's 27-26 loss to the Cheetahs, Cheika replied: "It was more the response I was looking for after half-time than after last week. The game is on fine margins.
"We could've been sitting here having the same press conference as last week.
"You don't get carried away, but I thought we actually played a lot better.
"We played some really good footy in attack, and our defence is improving a little bit more every week."
NSW WARATAHS 30 (Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Drew Mitchell tries Foley 2, Brendan McKibbin cons Foley 2, McKibbin pens) bt BLUES 27 (Chris Noakes, James Parsons, Charles Piutau tries Noakes 3 cons 2 pens) at Allianz Stadium. Referee: Francisco Pastrana. Crowd: 16,429.

BBC thriller series Spooks is set to take on ITV's Downton Abbey in the battle for viewers on Sunday nights.
The spy serial will air its tenth and final series on an all new night, previously only ever being broadcast on a weeknight.
The BBC defended the scheduling saying in a statement:
"This is the last ever series of Spooks and we wanted to celebrate this and make it a special event for viewers in the Sunday 9pm slot.
"It is not unusual for drama to go up against drama here, for example, David Tennant's Single Father did last year, and ITV's Vera was up against BBC1's Exile earlier this year."
Spooks' final run of six episodes will focus on Section Chief Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) and a long-held guilty secret which threatens his relationship with love Ruth Evershed (Nicola Walker).
Downton Abbey was ITV's surprise hit of 2010 and stars Dame Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville as members of a noble family trying to find a suitable heir for their grand country estate. The new series will take place during World War I.
The last series of Spooks attracted an average audience of 6.3million viewers, whereas Downton Abbey topped 9.7million. Both shows begin their runs on Sunday 18 September at 9pm.

University of Washington engineering students can relate to the films' lead characters.
The Oscar-nominated film "Hidden Figures" is earning raves from Hollywood and from people who can relate to the films' lead characters.
The fact-based movie follows the lives of three black women — Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson — who, in a white, male-dominated profession in 1962, helped NASA launch the first successful space missions.
"I loved it. I think it was something that was a long time coming. It showed the value of black women in STEM," said Tsewone Melaku, a senior in the University of Washington's Human Centered Design and Engineering program, about the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
Uloma Okoro, a senior at the University of Washington who is studying electrical engineering, said it's sometimes hard to find a place where she feels she belongs in her major.

"As a women of color in engineering, it (the movie) was very powerful to me. They really had to step up and prove more than other people, and they didn't let anyone get in their way," Okoro said.
Like the "Hidden Figures" characters, Naomi Zemeadim, a member of UW's chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, knows the challenges of black women breaking into the STEM field.
"There is a lot of undermining that happens, but you have to remind yourself that you're not there to be the perfect student or cater to the egos of the male students but for your own education," Zemeadim said.
Zemeadim believes the small number of minority women pursuing STEM careers comes from the present lack of representation: Minority girls do not see women like themselves in STEM careers, so they are less likely to pursue a similar career themselves. Minority women make up fewer than 1 in 10 employed scientists and engineers, according to a 2013 report by the National Science Foundation.
"When you're a kid, you only see black women in certain roles, and as a kid, you think black people do this so I have to do it, too," Melaku said.
All three women say that making resources and mentors available could help increase the number of women of color in STEM professions. A 2012 congressional committee report found that having a mentor, especially for minority students, increases students' willingness to go into STEM.
Since deciding to pursue an engineering career, Okoro has found inspiration and support in various clubs such as Making Connections, Upward Bound, WISE conferences and the National Society of Black Engineers.
"It was very nice for me to get involved in those clubs to find people that looked like me and pursuing STEM careers," Okoro said.

Embassy of India
68th Republic Day celebrated in Indonesia
The 68th Republic Day was celebrated at the Embassy of India in Jakarta, the Consulate General of India in Bali and the Consulate General of India in Medan with traditional gaiety and fervour. Mr. Manish, Deputy Chief of Mission, hoisted the National Flag at the Embassy premises as large gathering of Indian nationals and members of Indian diaspora watched with pride and joy. Similar ceremonies took place at the Indian Consulates in Bali and Medan.
The President's address to the nation on the eve of Republic Day was read out by the Deputy Chief of Mission in Jakarta and the Consuls General in Bali and Medan. President's address touched upon several issues such as inclusive innovation; rapidly evolving science and technology and need for education system to evolve with it; good performance of Indian economy; demonetization; aspirations of youth; employment generation; pluralism and tolerance; and public welfare. The President's address emphasized importance of strong democratic institutions in ensuring stability in India. It highlighted various flagship programs of government such as Swachh Bharat Mission, MGNREGA, Aadhaar, Digital India, Atal Innovation Mission and Skill India and noted that these programs have been designed to promote well-being of the society. President's speech exhorted people of India to work harder to overcome poverty, unemployment and terrorism and to ensure pluralist culture and tolerance.
Nearly 300 members of the Indian community, Persons of Indian Origin and Friends of India participated in the ceremony. About 80 school children from three Indian schools - Gandhi Memorial International School, the Rama International School and Texmaco DPS School - sang the National Anthem and patriotic songs. The students of Jawaharlal Nehru Cultural Centre (JNICC) also performed patriotic songs and a dance on the occasion.
Later, Deputy Chief of Mission interacted with members of Indian community to ascertain their welfare and gave a broad overview of various functions scheduled to be held in future by the Mission. A sumptuous feast of Indian food delicacies was served to the vast gathering.

Unanswered: mod_plsql connections dropping
I have a pair of win 2k servers, one running OHS 904 and the other the database 126.96.36.199 with approx 100 users accessing the system on and off during the day.
For some reason the ohs loses connection with the database and any sessions that are currently connected just get a generic "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error returned to them. Even if they close their browser and try to relogon they still have the same issue. If I try to connect and therefore make a new connection that works fine (proving both database and ohs are running fine), but all the existing connections that the ohs has open do not work until they time out.
Had anyone had a similar issue and if so how did they resolve it? I realise I can lower the PlsqlIdleSessionCleanupInterval to 1 (rather than the default 15) but this is going to reduce performance for the user if ohs is having to create new connections all the time!

4 arrested after meth lab found in Luling home, police say
From staff and wire reports - Nov 14, 2013
Four Luling residents were arrested for running a meth operation out of their home, according to the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office.
Capt. Pat Yoes, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, would not go into specifics, but said detectives received information that caused them to get a warrant to search the home at 208 Santa Cruz Court in the Coronado Park Subdivision in Luling. When inside, deputies say they found bottles containing a bluish-green liquid that tested positive for methamphetamine.
Synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia were also discovered in the residence, according to the arrest report.
Robert Wingrove, 39, Destinee Wingrove, 20, Renee Adams, 27, and Mark Aysen, 32, were all charged with five counts of the manufacture of methamphetamine. Each was also charged with possession of synthetic marijuana, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Robert and Destinee Wingrove are being held at the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center under a $200,000 bond.
Adams and Aysen were released from jail after posting bond.

The 10 Most Expensive Cities To Live In Around The World
Spoiler alert: Bournemouth makes the list
When it gets to the end of the month and you have approximately £4.29 to your name, it's easy to think you live in the most expensive place on Earth.
But where actually is the most expensive city in the world to live? The 13th Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey: 2017 has revealed the top 10 by analysing 406 metropolitan housing markets in nine countries — Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom, and the United States — in the third quarter of 2016.
The data results are calculated by dividing the median house price by the median household income to calculate the least affordable housing markets.

I agree, it is very non-intuitive. On the other hand, it is also in every tape-backup FAQ I've ever seen, so the info is readily available. I'm not saying that to be an asshole (really!). IMHO, the first steps to take when something doesn't work right are to hit the man pages, followed by a FAQ/How-To search. (See <http://tldp.org/>.) If you already know that, then please ignore. > IMO, the (non-)rewinding device issue should be mentioned in the mt > manpage. But does this omission really justify a bug report? Or is it > just me? It's not a bug, so it probably shouldn't be approached as one. There is a disturbing amount of voodoo involve in getting various scsi tape drives to work in a sane fashion. The nst0/st0 device interface is the least of ones worries. FYI, not all tape drives will report their tape location (file status, byte location, etc) in a consistent manner. My Archive Python DAT can get confused following a sequence of fsf/bsf commands. The only reliable way to count the number of files on a tape, and get to the one you want, is to rewind to the beginning and then use either the afs or eom commands. Do this before every operation where you are going to read/write to the tape. This is kind of critical as it really sucks when you discover today's incremental overwrote all of Thursdays and the first half of Fridays because the backup script or tape hardware lost track of where it was. Power cycles and computer reboots (ie. what happens when the scsi interface is initialized) can also make the tape location indeterminate. > While I'm at it, one more thing I don't understand -- mt comes with the > cpio package, and there's another package mt-st one may install.

Mysuru: The Mahadeshwara layout is a well-inhabited part of this city and any activity by the side of any main road cannot go unnoticed.
Thieves who had an eye of Shrihari Jewellers might have been well aware of this and hence did not want to risk being spotted while making a break-in. Therefore they took a bypass by beginning their operation from the drainage.
They avoided entering through the main shutter door and dug a tunnel from the drain towards the shop premises, working their way upwards at an angle. They gained access at a distance of six feet and and made a search. They could not reach any gold stock. But they took away cash and silver ornaments weighing 2 kgs.
When the last report came, the exact amount of total loss was yet to be ascertained. The police from Vijayanagar station are investigating the case. Forensic and canine squads also visited and inspected the premises.

Unlikely Heroes of the Arab Spring Trailer (2014)
06 January 2014
Presented by the award-winning author and property-rights activist Hernando de Soto, this public television special presents, for the first time, the basic human and economic events that led to the Arab uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. The program shows that "The Arab Spring" was less a political event than it was about the coming of the industrial revolution to a region where over 90% of the population lives and works outside the rule of law. De Soto shows us that this informal economy is, however, the one common thread that can contribute to the region's growth and stability.

I bought the Seksy watch for my soon to be 12 year old daughter and was very pleased when it arrived promptly and well packaged. I was not disappointed as it looked exactly as I hoped and she loves it!
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Lovely watch. Dressy enough for a night out, but not too much for daytime wear. Altering the strap to fit is very easy to do yourself. I have the watch with the black dial which is a good contrast with the silver bracelet.

Great service, and I love the watch, especially the sensible link system that makes it so simple to get the size perfect!
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
This is such a lovely watch! In fact, its the second one Ive bought. The first, which I bought about 8 years ago, had become slightly tarnished and scratched, but has served me well over the years. I have a very small wrist, 6, and by very easily removing three links it fits my wrist perfectly. Elegant, sophisticated and understated, no bling! I get many comments on this watch.The mother of pearl is beautiful and the tiny quartz dots incorporated on the facade add to the beauty. I would highly recommend this delicate-looking watch. A very good buy. Sorry I cant upload a photo, Im just not very au fait with how to do it!

Good product, I used to have this watch with a different face colour, so I knew this was a good buy. Fits my small wrists as you can take out links yourself. Only problem is that after a year or so the silver plating will start to rub off around the edges.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Loving the look of this watch. Ive struggled to find something that is a bit different and that isnt covered in diamantes features! I love the mother of pearl watch face which catches my eye every so often and makes me smile :o Its a very classy looking watch and I love wearing it. I think the only downside Ive only had it a week is that I seem to be between link sizes so its a little loose but thats not a real problem.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Such a quick delivery arriving the next day!! Lovely watch very happy!
This was a Christmas gift for my mum and she really likes it too
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
This is the second time Ive treated myself to this watch - the previous time I bought the black face. I have a very slim wrist and dont like wearing a heavy, large faced watch so this is perfect - substantial but not heavy. It is a very elegant, modern style and looks much more expensive than it is. The bracelet is very easy to adjust by removing links. Lovely watch which would suit all ages.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Lovely watch at a great price. Face shape makes it that wee bit different. Just hope the recipient likes it as much as I do.

The watch is silver and its face is in a curved shape, like a tear i suppose. It is very light and easy to fasten and undo but fits securely on the wrist. My Girlftiend certainly loved it. I think its great value for money.

This the second time I have brought this watch as the first one was lost. It is just the right size and shape. Looks great on the wrist.

Sue Fox B.A.,P.G.C.E.
Senior Lecturer
Film and Media Studies
Sue Fox has a first transgressive novel out called 'The Visceral Tear' (The Art of Cuntography) published via ONEIROS BOOKS 2015/16. It is available globally priced £15
"Transgressive underground literature is alive and well in the Uk. A woman living in Manchester has written a long and difficult experimental ode to her lifelong masturbatory habits, which is by turns shocking, funny, sad, distressing, erotic, contradictory, infuriating, vulnerable, aggressive. . .Every single chapter entirely based purely around sexual fantasies and memories and descriptions of orgasm. Something to upset everyone in here, this is up there with Genet, Burroughs or Sade for explicit and taboo content and the stream of consciousness prose is often impressive. Heterosexual younger men should read this book, they may learn some things. And older men come to think of it, and any woman hung up in guilt about their sexuality, or caught in the sugar and spice trap! Highest possible recommendation for anyone interested in human sexuality in all its beautiful and troubling forms". (Simon M)
Fox is known for her taboo images of the dead, first portrayed in a three part series called VILE BODIES on contemporary and international photographers in 1997 & 2000. Included in the series are Jenny Saville, Joel-Peter Witkin, Andres Serrano, Sally Mann, & Nick Wapplington.

Fox was flown to Scotland to Tern TV studios for two discussion programmes on SEX and DEATH on the Faith Without Walls series in 2002. In 2010, Fox appeared in a documentary film for Tonight with Trevor Macdonald on ITV 1 in 2004. This programme looked at alternative lifestyles and shopping habits and cultural dispositions.

Fox will present a series of still images of babies that died pre-term, in-utero for TF2016. These are beautiful bodies like tiny sea-shells. We do not readily see such things and push them to the back of consciousness and out of our recognition. These beings lived and died without being known. It is a calling to remember such lost beings, discarded and forgotten.
Fox performed hypnosis in a performative collaboration with Lundahl & Seitl at The Fierce Festival, Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry in October 2013 alongside such artists as Franko B., the Joshua Light Show and Heather Cassils.

Fox is currently working on new photographic images about 'the visceral body' and a series on 'abandoned buildings' exploring the peripheries of access points. Fox is writing poetry and collating old poems into surreal collections. Fox is doing film projects and working on a series of novels and was commissioned to make an avant-garde music video set in a church, for Magdalena Solis, a sonic and visual arts band, based in Brussels.
Fox performed at the Hacienda in 1983 at a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Punk with Michael Mayhew & Co. and directed by Sci-Fi writer Jeff Noon.

"Cancellation of Appointments"
About: Stoke Mandeville Hospital / Respiratory medicine Stoke Mandeville Hospital Respiratory medicine HP21 8AL
Posted by Beata (as ),
I have some respiratory problems and have been receiving treatment from Stoke Mandeville Hospital. As of late the service you provide has been shocking, the last time that I saw a specialist was in Aug 2013.
The next appointment that you booked for was for the 11 Feb 2014 to see the RXQ Physiologist.
I was then to see Anjani Prasad on the 17th February as a follow up.
That was changed to April 28th. That was changed to June 16th. This has now been changed to 21st July 11: 30.
It makes me wonder if I will ever get to see the Chest Specialist again! !
This sort of behaviour is absolutely ridiculous, it means that a period of 11 months will have gone by from one appointment to another, and I am far from confident that you won't change it again before the July appointment.
If I knew just where to make a complaint to an Health Service Ombudsman I would send it to them.
The reputation of Stoke Mandeville Hospital in all departments is rapidly going downhill.
Response from Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust 3 years ago
Dear Beata,
Thank you for taking the time to comment and we are so sorry to read about the experience you are having with the dates and confirmation for your next appointment at Stoke Mandeville hospital.

Rodgers hoping to keep stars
Brendan Rodgers is confident Liverpool's top players will stay at the club despite a lack of UEFA Champions League football.
Last Updated: 05/07/12 7:55pm
Brendan Rodgers is confident Liverpool's top players will stay at the club despite a lack of UEFA Champions League football.
The Reds will not play in Europe's premier competition again this season after only finishing eighth in the Premier League under Kenny Dalglish, and speculation has suggested there could be a couple of departures.
However, Rodgers insists there is no reason for fans to worry as he fully expects to keep hold of all his main men this summer.
"I am very confident in relation to the conversations I have had," the Northern Irishman told Sky Sports News.
Rodgers accepts that he would be prepared to let anyone go who was not convinced by his vision for the future, as he wants to help Liverpool get back to the top of the game.
Sell the dream
Asked how he could keep players happy when they are hungry to play in the Champions League, Rodgers added: "You can only sell the dream going forward. The reality is there is a lot of nostalgia about this club, and I have seen that in my early time here, but what is important is going forward.
"Of course the club isn't in the Champions League and the top players want to play at that level, but hopefully in the next coming years we can strive to get towards that.
"If that is not enough for a player then they will go, it is as simple as that."
Luis Suarez has been linked with a switch to Juventus but Rodgers has reiterated that he is hopeful of keeping the Uruguayan after holding positive talks.
"I have spoken to him but focused very much on the future in terms of what I believe he can bring to how we are going to play," Rodgers explained.
"He was fantastic, very open, and I think he was impressed with how we played last season."

Parents of Children with ADHD and or ODD
Looking for support among those who have children with ADHD and or ODD . Having a child with either is very stressful and you feel alone b/c no one understands what daily life is like if their child does not have these issues.
[15]Jun 21, 2016
To SDUF and anyone else looking for support - my 6-year-old grandson was diagnosed with ODD and various ADD/ADHD symptoms last year, but we suspected as much from a very early age. My daughter is a single mom and could really use a forum to express her frustrations and get support from other people who know exactly what she's going through. All of her other friend with kids don't struggle with anything like this and I know it's very frustrating to her. As his grandmother, I am concerned not only about my daughter but my grandson's future. There's so much stress from home, school, doctors, relatives, and now summer camp... there just has to be help out there for people like us. We'd even consider moving to a different state if it meant an excellent school designed to educate these children with unique challenges... but of course there's the money issue. There just never seems to be enough to pay for this therapy or that school or some other medicine. Can anyone relate to this? Can we somehow form a support group with a smaller radius for parents and grandparents of kids with ODD and ADD/ADHD? Something? I hear other people's crys for help, so let me add my voice...
[40705]Jun 24, 2016
@GrammieLove Hi & welcome. I hv 2 children w/ ADHD & my oldest son also has a learning disability. It's definitely a challenge. W/ ADHD comes defiance, but I know ODD is in a class of its own. My younger son was never diagnosed ODD, but he certainly knows how to push my buttons. There r many options out there for our kids, & often it's a fight to get them. Ur daughter is her son's best advocate. If she already has her son diagnosed, the school shld b accommodating her son w/ a 504 Plan. A dr needs to make the recommendations, & after the school reviews everything, they will put a plan in place. It is important to speak up & never give up. I wish ur family all the best.
[40705]Jul 1, 2016
@GrammieLove I just supported u. Pls PM me (u'll need to support me first) if u'd like to discuss this further. Wishing u all the best.

The Supreme Court's decision ten months ago in Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int'l, 134 S. Ct. 2347 (2014) pronounced a test that makes it more likely that patent claims, particularly claims that arguably claim or heavily incorporate "abstract ideas," will be found invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for claiming patent-ineligible subject matter. In Alice's wake, observers have not only seen a rise in invalidity determinations under § 101 generally, but also a rise in the number and success rate of district court pre-claim-construction motions filed during the pleadings stage that seek to invalidate patent claims directed to "abstract ideas." Based on current trends, parties engaged in patent suits involving "abstract idea" claims can expect an increased likelihood of litigating pleadings-stage motions alleging invalidity based on § 101.
Much of the recent shift in district courts' understanding of patent ineligible subject matter under § 101 can be attributed to their application of the Supreme Court's Alice decision. Alice articulated a two-part test to determine patent subject matter eligibility. The first part requires the court to "determine whether the claims at issue are directed to a patent-ineligible concept." Alice, 134 S. Ct. at 2355. Such concepts include laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas. If the claims at issue are directed to a patent-ineligible concept, the court must then conduct the second part of the Alice test by searching for "an 'inventive concept' — i.e., an element or combination of elements that is sufficient to ensure that the patent in practice amounts to significantly more than a patent upon the ineligible concept itself." Id. (internal quotations and brackets omitted). In searching for the "inventive concept," the court is to "consider the elements of each claim both individually and as an ordered combination to determine whether the additional elements transform the nature of the claim into a patent-eligible application." Id.(internal quotations omitted).
The Supreme Court in Alice determined that the claims at issue were invalid because they (1) were "directed to the abstract idea of intermediated settlement," and (2) did not amount to significantly more than the abstract idea itself. Alice, 134 S. Ct. at 2357. Over the past ten months since the decision's publication in June 2014,Alice's impact has been felt in the increased invalidation of claims directed to "abstract ideas," including by the district courts. While an increased rate of post-claim-construction determinations of invalidity based on § 101 may not be surprising, of note is the recent spike in pre-claim-construction determinations of invalidity in response to motions at the pleadings stage.
For example, in Priceplay.com, Inc. v. AOL Advertising, Inc., No. 14-92, 2015 WL 1246781 (D. Del. March 18, 2015) (Memorandum Opinion), the district court granted the accused infringer's 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, based on a finding that the claims at issue were invalid under § 101. The patents in suit claimed a "business process ... for conducting business transactions over the Internet, allowing buyers an opportunity to reduce the price of a product/service based on the buyer's performance during a Price-Determining-Activity." Priceplay.com, 2015 WL 1246781, at *1. Following the Alice framework, the district court first found that the claims at issue were directed to the abstract idea of "performance of a sales transaction over the Internet." Id. at *4. Then, the Priceplay.com court found, inter alia, that the claimed computer functions were "purely conventional" and could not save the otherwise well-known claim elements from invalidity under § 101. Id. at *4-5.
The litigants in Priceplay.com are not alone. Over the past two years, the success rate of motions for judgment on the pleadings and motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim have risen noticeably. In 2013, 45% (five of eleven) of pleadings-stage motions to dismiss based on § 101 were granted and none were partially granted. In 2014, the success rate grew to 54% granted (thirteen of twenty-four) and 12% partially granted (three of twenty-four). As of April, 2015 is continuing the trend, as district courts have granted 56% (fourteen of twenty-five) of the decided pleadings-stage § 101 motions and partially granted another 8% (two of twenty-five).
Not only are district courts more likely to grant pleadings-stage § 101 motions, accused infringers have heard the news and are filing such motions in record numbers. In 2013, district courts decided eleven such motions. In 2014, twenty-four such motions were decided -- five more than were decided from 2008 to 2012 combined. Specifically, in the first half of 2014, before Alice, district courts decided only six pleadings-stage § 101 motions. After Alice, the courts decided eighteen during the remainder of 2014. 2015 has seen this trend continue even further. Indeed, if the current trend persists for the rest of the year, we can expect to see roughly seventy-seven decisions on pleadings-stage § 101 motions in 2015 alone, forty-three of them granted and six partially granted.
Beyond the nationwide numerical trends, the likelihood of success of any given pleadings-stage § 101 motion is dependent upon the jurisdiction in which it is filed. For instance, since Alice, the three district courts that have most often denied such motions are E.D. Tex. (four), C.D. Cal. (two), and M.D. Fla. (two). In contrast, the four district courts that have most often granted (not including partially granted) such motions are D. Del. (six), C.D. Cal. (five), N.D. Cal. (four), and E.D. Va. (four).
In sum, district courts are applying the Alice test to pre-claim-construction motions alleging invalidity under § 101, which has resulted in a rising death toll of patent claims directed to "abstract ideas." At least for the time being, patentees asserting claims arguably directed towards abstract ideas can expect to defend against pleadings-stage § 101 motions more often. Correspondingly, accused infringers have noticed the rising popularity and success of such motions and are increasingly incorporating them into their litigation strategy.

It came from the South
The one unique movie award voted on annually by the Southeastern Film Critics Association (SEFCA) is called the Gene Wyatt Award, which is awarded to the film "that best evokes the spirit of the South." That guideline leaves much open for interpretation, but the winner tends to be the consensus choice for the best film set below the Mason-Dixon Line. The first Wyatt Award was given in 2005 to Junebug, and other past winners include Waitress, Shotgun Stories and Winter's Bone. Last year's winner was the ubiquitous The Help, although my vote went to the Memphis-set high school football documentary Undefeated.
- Photo courtesy of Fox Searchlight
- Quvenzhané Wallis in "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
As it turned out, the 2012 Wyatt Award went to the Bayou-based Beasts of the Southern Wild. the stylized feature debut from director Benh Zeitlin—a native of New York City, of all places.
But 2012 has provided other notable films set in the South, including Richard Linklater's Bernie, Lee Daniels' The Paperboy and William Friedkin's Killer Joe. The indie darling Pilgrim Song has already won The Oxford American Best Southern Film and Indie Memphis Soul of Southern Film Award. And, of course, there's always Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's latest, which, while visually proficient and daringly raw at times, is probably as informative about the scourge of slavery in the American South as Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor was about the Pacific theater of World War II.
Indeed, going back to that loose criteria I mentioned above, there's a case to be made for Craig Zobel's Compliance, my choice as this year's best overall film. While the movie itself never specifies its setting, the screenplay is based on a true story that took place at a McDonald's restaurant in Mount Washington, Ky. And Zobel, a graduate of UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, has collaborated extensively over the years with director David Gordon Green (George Washington, All the Real Girls), who executive-produced Compliance. —Neil Morris

Looking for a massage in Chamonix?
After a long day skiing, walking, or sat in the office your muscles can pick up aches and niggles. These pressure points or trigger points build up in certain areas of the muscles dependant upon your genetics and the activities you are doing.
The truth is we often learn to live with an achy calf, a heavy thigh or an uncomfortable back. Its only when we get a great massage from a professional who knows how to reset these trigger points and put your body back into its natural released position, that we realise how the body should feel!
A great massage will flush out toxins, reduce stress and remove tension, leaving your body and mind refreshed relaxed and ready to go again!
Our professional massage therapists offer lots of different types of massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Also known as a sports massage, a deep tissue massage will rejuvenate physical strains you have picked up. Our therapist will use myofascial release techniques to break down problematic scar tissue which will allow your muscles fibres to heal effectively.
Deep tissue massages are also recommended as a maintenance massage for those with a physical lifestyle as it will help reset any niggles you are picking up which may result in problems further down the line. This will ensure your muscle performance is optimum and you can concentrate on being your best!
Our deep tissue massages are deeper than other massages. Our massage therapist can asses your muscles and apply deep tissue techniques where necessary along with a lighter Swedish massage style on muscles that are less in need of a deep focus. Because a deep tissue massage goes so deep into the muscles, its important that you drink lots of water afterwards to help flush out the toxins our therapist has removed from the muscles.
Swedish Massage
There is nothing quite like a refreshing, rejuvenating Swedish massage. Not as deep as a sports massage, a Swedish massage, also known as a spa massage is the most relaxing massage imaginable. We recommend this rejuvenating massage for those who maybe are just feeling a little run down and fatigued. After the therapeutic massage you will find yourself totally relaxed, you may even fall asleep during the massage!
Foot and Leg Massage
Our foot and leg massage concentrates on the often problematic muscles of the lower body. Aches can build up in the calves, hamstrings, hips and thigh muscles. Our massage therapist will asses the muscles as they massage and choose the relevant pressure and technique help restore the holistic balance of the muscles.
Head and Neck Massage
Also known as an Indian head massage, this massage will address aches and pains in your upper back and neck which can lead to tension headaches, stress headaches, pressure headaches and sinus pressure. Our masseuse will asses the tension in the various muscles and work to ease them, leaving you feeling fresher, calmer and with a clearer head.

Let's see if I can recap for you...
Maltrata, Veracruz
I was in Maltrata, Veracruz for almost two months for the fieldwork for my thesis. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. In terms of my thesis, I was able to meet, interview and get to know a bit about the experience of people who had gone to the United States and are now back in their hometown.
On a personal level, I enjoyed getting to know another side of Mexico. I've been living in the DF for over a year and a half and have traveled a bit to other places. However, Maltrata was a very different experience. It's a small town with a "everybody knows everybody" feel. I stayed with an amazing family who adopted me as one of their own. I really enjoyed the daily conversations, sharing meals with them and trying new food, and of course playing with my little buddy (who, just for the record, loves "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" song).
Maltrata also has a ton of traditions, which I enjoyed learning about and at times participating in. (My plan is to share some of those traditions -- along with photos and videos -- in a separate blogpost. Now just to find the time before it's Holiday season again!)

UNAM and other academic things
I came back to the DF for the second week of classes. (Somewhere between Maltrata and the DF I managed to come down with a nasty cold which slowed the "catching up" process down significantly).
This semester I'm just taking two classes: one in the anthropology department that focuses on organizing and analyzing data collected in field work and another called The Nation-State and the Indigenous Issue in the Andean Region, which looks at Indigenous social movements and historical antecedents in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Colombia.
I decided not to take Portuguese this semester to be able to devote more time to my thesis (it's crunch time!). I did find out though that I passed my Portuguese reading comprehension test, which means one more graduation requirement out of the way. (Now I just need to take the English test since they won't count that it's my native language -- seriously, UNAM?)
I've also attended two conferences recently, including The National Conference of Social Sciences, Challenges and Horizons of Change: Mexico in the XXI Century and FLACSO's International Migration Seminar, Challenges in today's world: A look at transnationalism, borders and rights.

I'm back to rehearsals with the choir. We've had 2 concerts so far this semester. The first was at a Senior Center and the second was at a high school affiliated with UNAM. We have another on Saturday at an International Conference. Lots more concerts and plans lined up for the semester!
