I am looking for musicians who would like to be part of a band called Abuse Nation. These musicians would preferably be abuse victims themselves but people sympathetic to abuse victims would be more than welcome. The songs would be about abuse. That could be a song about verbal or emotional abuse or about sexual abuse or human trafficking. While I write songs myself, I am hoping that the other members of the group will contribute songs, creating a variety of music.
Due to the that fact that it's unlikely that all of the people interested in a group like this will live in the same area, I expect this will be a virtual group. If engineering and mixdown is needed a kick-starter will be created to fund that.
The long term goal of this band is to be the symbol for a brand, also called Abuse Nation. I have found that the majority of the non-abused population are unwilling to discuss abuse, blocking any substantial progress in strengthening laws and helping end abuse. I have settled on the idea of using music due to my feeling that people will listen to music about a controversial subject before they will take time to read a book or watch a movie or television show and they will do this without a lot of conscious thought. Perhaps it's the fact that music seems to speak to listeners at a deeper level and passes the internal censors without trouble. I am hoping to put this music on YouTube initially and eventually, have it played on the radio under the "Abuse Nation" brand. In the long run I expect that Abuse Nation will become a musical brand that is accepted by radio and internet listeners. What people become used to, they tend to accept.
The first contribution to this collection of music comes from me and can be found at:

Pricing FAQ
- How does cloud app pricing work?
Cloud apps are sold as a monthly or annual subscription. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.
When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for apps based on the number of users in your instance.
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my cloud pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. Jira Cloud apps are priced based on the maximum users of the Jira products on your instance. For example, if you have Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you pay the 50-user price for apps.Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for licensing across maximum users still apply.
The pricing structure for cloud apps is as follows:
- Monthly subscriptions with up to 10 Atlassian product users are billed at a flat rate price.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 10 users are billed per user, starting at the first user.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 100 users are billed per user. The table above provides example pricing at various user levels.
Annual subscriptions may offer a discount depending on the number of users purchased.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for cloud apps?
Academic, community and open source licenses are not available for cloud apps.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For cloud apps, you cannot extend your free evaluation period. All cloud apps are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the app.
Screenful provides support for this app.

On Tuesday in China, a top American envoy discussed the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs, among other subjects, with Chinese officials. Details of the talks with Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg were not disclosed.
China has a close trading relationship with Iran, and its support will be key in any effort to impose new sanctions against the country.
John Delury, the associate director of the Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations, joins Martin Savidge to discuss China's willingness — or lack thereof — to go along with sanctions.

B2B Marketplace lecture by SQLI and Mirakl
Monday 21 September 2015 – the first big day back this autumn for all the e-commerce professionals who have arranged to meet on 21, 22 and 23 September at the E-Commerce Paris 2015 event (Porte de Versailles). It is an opportunity for SQLI to demonstrate its expertise and give a lecture on the first day in partnership with Mirakl on a key subject this autumn: MarketPlaces.
It is 5.15 p.m. and the room is beginning to fill up. There are round 40 people, and the speakers and host are having their last rehearsal.
Kamel Tansaout, Continental Europe Commercial Director at MIRAKL, and Eric Costechareyre, Connected Commerce Manager at SQLI, are hosting this Marketplaces lecture with a focus on the B2B market.
What opportunities does opening your own Marketplace offer? Even before talking about solutions, Kamel reminds everyone about the context and the issues connected with it. What is a Marketplace? It is connecting buyers and sellers of goods and/or services through a secure space, made available by a third-party operator.
Yes, marketplaces are changing the world. You no longer need to have a permanent stock of products. It is a commission-based system which makes the marketplace the most profitable e-commerce platform that can exist. Kamel illustrates this very well with a few examples from the news:
- Über, which has the largest fleet of taxis without owning a single vehicle.
- Alibaba.com, the most profitable retailer which has no stock.
- Airbnb, without owning any real estate assets, is the number 1 for accommodation. Airbnb needed just 4 years to be in a position to offer 650,000 rooms in 192 countries, compared with Hilton which took 93 years to build 610,000 rooms in 88 countries.
- Amazon.com, which sells more than 1 billion products on its marketplace.
More products, more customers, more suppliers, more income and more profits thanks to the commission system. This is what a marketplace PROMISES.
Why a B2B Marketplace?
Now companies will work with operators such as Cdiscount, Amazon, Fnac, and IKEA for BtoB supplies because it is easier. They no longer use the traditional B2B channels like catalogues, classic e-commerce websites, etc.
Marketplaces have redefined the standards of the online buying experience and this phenomenon also affects the professional buyers for major accounts.
According to a survey conducted by Forrester, the most important buying criteria in the eyes of professionals are:
- Comparing prices
- Having a broader selection of products and services
- Having a better B2B customer service
- Customer ratings and comments
All of these criteria are fulfilled in a marketplace.
Creating your marketplace will make it possible:
– to change scale in terms of product listing:
- No more stock required and no logistics
- A great deal of flexibility in the listing and setting of prices
- Risk-free product testing
- Attractiveness and profitability of the e-commerce website
– to increase income and improve margins with a commission + subscriptions (rent paid by the retailer) model.
– to optimise resources (management of suppliers, procurement teams).
How to a successful marketplace project?
Kamel has set the scene and we are all convinced that the marketplace is a real lever for business growth.
However, to ensure that a marketplace is relevant and a success you need to proceed with a robust methodology, as Eric says.
A marketplace project will have an impact on a lot of departments within a company: sales, marketing, communication, IT and senior management.
Coordinating all of these groups will be key in successfully completing the project.
With an existing front-office, e-commerce platform, CRM, PIM/Catalogue, or online payment, it is important to know that the marketplace will bring functional components to the 'operator's' back office which will enable it to administer sellers accepted on the platform and manage the platform itself.
A 'sellers' back-office module will enable the new retailer to have a management interface for their activities.
The Mirakl solution offers all of these modules specific to the marketplace. It will then connect to the existing system to manage sellers, offers, manage commissions, and enrich the PIM/Product catalogue.
Using the Mirakl solution, it will take an average of 6 months to complete the project.
In summary, the key factors for success according to Eric are:
- Support from the highest level of the company's management
- A strong project team (available and legitimate) in terms of project ownership and the coordination of the many parties involved
- Clearly defining your product/price/services strategy
- Good coordination of those involved (internal and external)
- The standardisation of 'product data'
- Progressive roll-out of your marketplace: put the model in place quickly and fine-tune it iteratively.
And above all do not wait until the end of the project to launch seller recruitment campaigns (a key point for a successful marketplace).

Origami Paper Flowers for Beginners
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
Origami flowers are easy to make, even for beginners. Almost any type of flower can be made by folding paper, but it's best to start off with a simple pattern and move on to more complicated ones once you have become adept at the different types of folds.
Paper Selection
Use any type of paper you like for your origami flower project, though beginners should start with a simple paper such as those used for copying or printing. Notebook paper can be used, as well as construction or crepe paper. Follow pattern instructions and cut your paper into a square or rectangle before beginning.
Pattern Choices
Paper can be folded into almost any flower shape, ranging from simple to extremely intricate. Begin by selecting a rose, tulip, sunflower or other simple shape before graduating to complicated flowers with more petals or a prominent stamen. Learn to fold a basic flower stem and add it to any kind of flower shape.
Basic Folds
Always fold each crease exactly as described. Pay close attention to instructions and take a few moments to become acquainted with basic origami folds (see Resources) before beginning work on your flowers. Crease folds by pressing them with your thumbnail to keep your work crisp and clean.

In the State of California, the courts may be able to impute minimum wage earning capacity to a parent, and it is up to that parent to prove why he/she may not be able to earn or get a minimum wage job. For example, if he/she has a disability, or lacks in education or skills, medical condition, etc. The reason for this is that both parents are required to give support to their children, regardless of whether one is acting as the primary caregiver or not. The California Family Code is very clear on this:
Fam. C. 3900.
"…the father and mother of a minor child have an equal responsibility to support their child in the manner suitable to the child's circumstances." (Emphasis added)
Also in the Family Code:
Fam. C. 4053
"(a) A parent's first and principal obligation is to support his or her minor children according to the parent's circumstances and station in life."
(b) Both parents are mutually responsible for the support of their children."
The State adopts the statewide uniform to ensure that the state remains in compliance with federal regulations for child support guidelines. An experienced family lawyer could provide more information and guidance regarding matters such as parental responsibility for child support.

Hurricane Michael menaces towards Florida, now category four system
PANAMA CITY, Florida. (AP) — Gaining frightening fury overnight, Hurricane Michael closed in Wednesday on the Florida Panhandle with potentially catastrophic winds of 145 miles per hour, the most powerful storm on record ever to menace the stretch of fishing towns, military bases and spring-break beaches.
With more than 375,000 people up and down the Gulf Coast warned to clear out, the hurricane's leading edge began lashing the white-sand shoreline with tropical storm-force winds, rain, and rising seas before daybreak, hours before Michael's centre was expected to blow ashore.
"I really fear for what things are going to look like there tomorrow at this time," Colorado State University hurricane expert Phil Klotzbach said in an email.
The unexpected brute quickly sprang from a weekend tropical depression, reaching Category 4 early Wednesday as it drew energy from the Gulf of Mexico's 84-degree waters.
That was up from a Category 2 on Tuesday afternoon.
"The time to evacuate has come and gone ... SEEK REFUGE IMMEDIATELY," Florida Governor Rick Scott tweeted, while the sheriff in Panama City's Bay County issued a shelter-in-place order before dawn.
At 8 a.m ., Michael was centred was about 90 miles from Panama City and Apalachicola, moving fast at 13 miles per hour.
Tropical storm winds extended 185 miles from the centre, and hurricane-force winds reached out 45 miles.
Rainfall could reach up to a foot and the life-threatening storm surge could swell to 14 feet.
The storm appeared to be so powerful — with a central pressure dropping to 933 millibars — that it is expected to remain a hurricane as it moves over Georgia early Thursday.

Last November 29, Fully Booked, in cooperation with Yehey.com, organized a bloggers' event where registered bloggers who are present at the event will get two free books of your choice from the table that's full with books 😀 .
Anyway, I arrived there a bit early. I was able to have a small chit chat with bloggers Bianca and Laya and even shared the same table with the blogger (Rowena) whose sister won in the Red Box Wii Party contest. 😀
We had a tour of the store and I am not aware of the presence of the basement at Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street. I was even more surprised when we entered U-View (screening room with a seating capacity of 50 people).
After the store tour, I ate a little since I was going to have a dinner date after the event. Sha was not able to make it to the event because of the heavy Friday night traffic. After that, a game was held for the bloggers. It's more of a Q and A type. 😀 Congratulations to the winners 🙂
It was also announced in the event the launching of the Fully Booked Bloggers Book Club. All bloggers who have registered and attended the event will automatically be members of the said book club. 🙂 All members will receive news from Fully Booked and as well as special invites of Fully Booked events.
Then, we got to pick our books on a per batch basis. And yes, it pays to be early especially in this event. 😀

On August 12, 2017, the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project (KMWP) hosted our annual awards event. During our showcase, we recognized outstanding educators in the KMWP community who promoted literacy and leadership during the 2016-2017 academic year. We also celebrated young authors for their winning compositions in the 2017 Leslie Walker Writers of Promise contest. Attendees also took part in a gallery walk to explore and discuss inquiry work developed by the KMWP Invitational Summer Institute (ISI) fellows. Photo Gallery
Each year, the KMWP presents three awards to individuals who contribute to literacy development in northwest Georgia.
The Teacher of Promise award is presented to a new teacher who shows exceptional ability and commitment who is in his or her first three years of teaching.
The Teacher Leadership award is presented to a KMWP teacher affiliate who is a leader and encourages leadership in colleagues.
The Sponsor of Literacy award is presented to an individual who has demonstrated continuous efforts to improve literacy, teacher leadership, and the educational climate in today's schools.
Our award-winning educators for 2017 are:
Teacher of Promise – Kassidy Gaffigan of Roswell High School
(presented by Rob Montgomery, KSU)
Teacher Leadership – Sonny Harding (R) of Marietta High School
(presented by Tommy Jolly, East Paulding High School)
Sponsor of Literacy – Rob Montgomery of Kennesaw State University
(presented by Jennifer Dail, KMWP)
In 2008, the KMWP created a writing contest as a legacy of a friend and teacher leader. Leslie Walker was an educator at Campbell High School, a 1998 KMWP ISI fellow, and an inspiration to her students and colleagues. In the words of Scott Smoot, creator and past director of the contest, "Researching with KMWP, Leslie developed a special insight that writing is about establishing community. She would say that you write best with the support of a caring community of writers, you write best about the community you know, and you learn from your community when you write. Most miraculously, you draw others into new community through your imagination and language."
Our 2017 Leslie Walker Writers of Promise winners are:
Sarah Courchene of Mountain Road Elementary, Woodstock (Teacher: Alexis Basel, left)
Will Babcock of McCleskey Middle School, Marietta (Teacher: Sharon Bonney, left)
Karen Wessells of Northgate High School, Sharpsburg (Teacher: Diane Dombrowski, not pictured)
All had a wonderful time and we look forward to celebrating again next year!

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: The Family Reunion (06/05/08)
- TITLE: The Long Set
By Aaron Morrow
Nicko started his soft backbeat
Excitement charged the air. I licked my lips and lifted the trumpet to my mouth. I glanced at Sean, he was anticipating measure twelve as well. We both sat and waited with the cool brass mouthpiece resting against our lower lips.
I took a deep breath…
The sound smashed through the air like an elephant fired from a cannon.
BONG!..Ponk, Peenk, Poink! The shaking had upset the gong behind Nicko, which in turn hand rattled several bones off Zeke's marimba stand.
All eyes turned to the hulking form near the back of the stage. The tight coils of Shamgar's huge arms strained at the seams of his daisy-laden t-shirt with the words "Teddy Bear Dreams" emblazoned on it. His tan face went a deep scarlet, and he swung his tousled mop of hair out of the way, revealing a huge, toothy grin.
We turned back in time to see Fred rolling his eyes, "Shamgar…I know that the composition doesn't include an oxgoad, but we discussed this. Follow the sax line starting on measure sixteen. Capiche?" Shamgar nodded mechanically.
"Okay, let's start again." Fred tapped his stick on the top of his spinet.
"…one…two…threEEEEE…" A cacophony of different notes exploded from his piano as he dove down to the keyboard to avoid being pummeled as Dave performed a perfect cartwheel over the top of his head.
Thump! Dave stood in the middle of the stage, feet together and arms upraised in triumph. Chris called out from the guitar and lute section, "And he sticks the landing!" I joined as the entire ensemble erupted in laughter and clapping.
Fred collected himself at the piano, and looked up, as if seeking help.
"Sooo…Dave… are you dancing this time, or singing?" Fred was calm and smiling again, athough his powdered wig was a mess.
"Both!" Dave dropped to the floor in a bunch and began spinning on his back.
Lincoln ripped off a power chord and Matt started singing "Undignified".
"Whoa! We've moved on, we've moved on!" Fred tried yelling over the top Lincoln and Andres as they pounded out dueling guitar solos, which was quite challenging since both had their amp volume set past "10" to the "infinity" marker.
The revelry didn't begin settling down until Steven and Maria danced in graceful loops through the empty orchestra pit in front of the massive stage. Each time they passed by, the ensemble followed their progress with glistening, joy-filled eyes.
Fred turned around again and smiled broadly. "Okay, why don't we just try a run-through with the vocalists. Dave, why don't you go and put some clothes on, I think you're distracting the string section."
Charlie and Fritz took their violins from their shoulder, looked at each other, and shrugged.
"Okay, then, Martina you want to lead off?"
Martina stepped forward and began singing, softly at first and building:
We are trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before,
And now we're all reunited,
On a new…and sunlit shooooooore
As she held the final note, Louis stepped up and began rattling the whole stage with his booming bass:
OOOOH…when the saints…came marching in!
Martina and Dave joined in:
Oh when the saints came marching in!
Lord, I'm glad I was in that number
When the saints came marching in!
Nicko started tapping on his drums and the entire percussion section followed his lead.
Then the Son came back to shine
And then the Son came back to shine
Bedlam broke out as the whole band got washed away in the joy of the number. Johan jumped up on his piano and began a soft shoe; Wiggie ran over, put his arms on each side of Terry and began playing his piano as Terry painted the sky with his harmonica…
Fred yelled "Wait!" The band slowly ground to a halt.
"We need to rehearse! Do you realize how much time we have?"
Everyone on the huge stage glanced around with furtive, puzzled looks.
"Mmm hmm" Someone cleared their throat. Fred wheeled around to the lone figure in the audience.
"You have all eternity" Jesus said from the front row.
Fred took a deep breath, and turned again to the ensemble.
"Ok then, I guess there only one thing to do…HIT IT SHAMGAR!"

In correlation to hereditary genetic mutations, macular dystrophy causes disturbances of the inner black array of the eye where retina and photosensitive cells are located (photoreceptors). As the name would suggest, the macula (yellow spot) on the retina is being attacked during the course of macular dystrophy. Macula is the central part of the retina which contains photoreceptors responsible for central vision and color perception. Once it is damaged or gets dislocated during macular dystrophy, your central eyesight is damaged which may lead to permanent blindness.
What causes macular dystrophy?
Macular dystrophy differs a lot from more common eye disease known as macular degeneration, which is commonly caused by aging and the friction between retina and macula. While aging and other risk factors such as smoking do cause certain forms of macular degeneration, macular dystrophy is connected to genetic mutations which – with no apparent reason – cause degradation of the retina cells. Some forms of macular dystrophy are more prominent in childhood, while other forms appear at adult age. However, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate macular degeneration from hereditary macular dystrophy due to the similarities of the symptoms, which includes reduced eye sight and loss of central vision. One of the more common aspects of macular dystrophy is stargardt's disease which takes up about 70% of macular dystrophy cases, usually being prominent in one's childhood.
Diagnosis of stargardt's disease
Symptoms of macular dystrophy can include reduced eyesight sharpness without any clear reason such as refractive errors or cataract. In case your eye doctor suspects you might be dealing with macular dystrophy, he can prescribe special eye tests which aren't a part of the usual eye exam to establish a definitive diagnosis. For an example, test which is called fluorescent angiography can detect damage done by macular dystrophy effects. Test which uses optic coherent tomography (OCT) is also a valid option in order to determine and analyze the tissue pattern to check for presence of yellow-brown pigment which is located in the retinal pigment epithelium. Another option of definitive diagnosis is electroretinography which suggests positioning of the electrodes to the outer surface of the eye to measure your eye's photoreceptors response to light.
Treatment of macular dystrophy
In case you're dealing with macular dystrophy, you will need to visit a retina specialist who will help you determine the exact nature of your illness. For an example, some types of this condition are progressive and others are not. Genetic analysis and advisement may be required to determine the type of macular dystrophy you have and will this condition be transferred to your children. Also, you can make better choices about family planning if you have an idea of the degree of eye sight loss in correlation to your type of macular dystrophy. In this moment there isn't a scientifically proven treatment for macular dystrophy. Genetic therapy has shown great potential but there is more research to be done.

Experiment-based kinematic validation of numeric modeling and simulated control of an untethered biomimetic microrobot in channel
Tabak, Ahmet Fatih and Yeşilyurt, Serhat (2012) Experiment-based kinematic validation of numeric modeling and simulated control of an untethered biomimetic microrobot in channel. In: 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC 2012), Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Modeling and control of swimming untethered microrobots are important for future therapeutic medical applications. Bio-inspired propulsion methods emerge as realistic substitutes for hydrodynamic thrust generation in micro realm. Accurate modeling, power supply, and propulsion-means directly affect microrobot motility and maneuverability. In this work, motility of bacteria-like untethered helical microrobots in channels is modeled with the resistive force theory coupled with motor dynamics. Results are validated with private experiments conducted on cm-scale prototypes fully submerged in Si-oil filled glass channel. Li-Po battery is utilized as the onboard power supply. Helical tail rotation is triggered by an IR remote control. It is observed that time-averaged velocities calculated by the model agree well with experimental results. Finally, time-dependent performance of a hypothetical model-based position control scheme is simulated with upstream flow as disturbance.

In a world of Pokemon Go, the AR acronym has become very trendy, so it's worth reminding ourselves that augmented reality is defined as "the interaction of superimposed graphics, audio and other sense enhancements over a real-world environment that's displayed in real time."
If you clicked on the hyperlink, you would have noticed that this definition was from a piece written in 2009. I mention this only to reinforce how long it takes for some technologies to trend. Even when they become mainstream, avoiding the perception of gimmickry and maintaining a real-life application can be a challenge.
For example, it is reported that Pokemon Go has, as of August lost 15 million of its original users and engagement has dropped by 60% with remaining users. Now that loss is from a base of 45 million users and there are still fanatics that remain loyal. But this reinforces the challenge that AR apps have for keeping their fan base.
In business and government, there is a desire to add AR and VR technologies to product portfolios regardless of the industry. I must admit that I've been an offender in the media business, constantly asking my teams to develop something AR largely because of the FOMO I've written about in the past. "Just get me something to promote on the website!"
The challenge is that AR is not the reality we live in because it is by definition augmented. The process of coming up with an augmentation that has some long-term business or consumer utility is by no means easy. The most successful attempts have focused on layering geolocation data on top of camera feeds.
In researching this piece, I found a use case in the real estate market. Potential home buyers doing drive-bys could point their mobile cameras at a house and get the listing data and residential history. Most of these real estate AR apps were launched in 2009-2010, though, and I've had a very difficult time finding one that still exists.
The majority of the Top 10 lists for AR consistently note Google Goggles and Translate, Pokemon Go with a dozen look-alikes, and others related to star gazing, furniture placement and sightseeing overlays. But that's really it.
Now I know my AR/VR fanatic friends and colleagues will complain that I simply haven't looked hard enough to find business-related applications that can be used by someone other than an architect modeling an office space. But if after hours of digging for an app that could serve as an example I come up dry, I see one of two problems: Either there are very few such apps available, or the companies that produce them are absolutely horrible in search engine strategy.
What amazes me most is the lack of AR applications that have a serious social media element to them. Surely there is a social media cult walking trough city parks and backyards, tracking down Bulbasaurs or Butterfrees and sharing their Pokemon Go experiences. But there is little to be found beyond layering Zillow-esque data on a camera feed. Considering the huge numbers of APIs that could provide social insight, I'm wondering why there hasn't been a serious attempt to integrate social media with AR.
One such product does seem to exist in the form of the do-it-yourself AR platform, Layar. The product enables business users to create their own AR experiences that largely center around bringing print content and advertising to life. This is not totally new as many of the auto companies, including VW and Audi, have used AR to let users "test drive" their vehicles on a magazine page, or to see what their customized car would look like in the driveway.
But the ability to point a camera at a person, place or thing to get social insight is still in its infancy — or, in some cases, past its prime, as the disappearance of Yelp Monocle, launched back in 2010, signals.
There is quite a bit of buzz and speculation of Snapchat moving deeper into AR with extensions of their infamous filters. But defining social augmented reality as sharing a picture of yourself transformed into a fire-breathing dragon only reinforces my point that AR still hinges, largely, on gimmickry and eye candy.
Have you seen any neat business uses of augmented reality that I've missed??

Thoughts About Consciousness, While Being Present in the Moment
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player needed)
When we see our life as a part of the greater cosmos, individual, but always in relationship to both the world, and the consciousness that animates it, we find important lessons everywhere and clues pointing to our Source. In North Carolina, on the East Coast of the USA, we are presently in full blown autumn. Changes in Nature are a frequent source of thoughtful reflections by writers and philosophers, and autumn is an interesting juncture between two very different seasons, summer and winter. Autumn is harvest time for some crops, so it is natural to think of this time of year in terms of what we are harvesting in our life, both in the immediate present, and in the larger picture of a lifetime. This season is also unpredictable in regards to the weather and may fluctuate 50 degrees in a single day, so we might see this as an opportunity to go within to find the everlasting principle which brings about these changes, and yet is changeless. If we are interested in spiritual growth, transformation, and a rebirth, we are taught to shed our old ways of thinking—like the leaves falling—to make way for luxurious growth—in the spring.
As I sit on our deck I listen to the soothing swishing, and watch the gentle flight actions, of the wind with the leaves—one of my favorite experiences in Nature. During the autumn the wind carries the special sound of crisp leaves blowing, falling, and rustling on the ground. As the wind escorts the leaves from up to down, so we are carried by the unseen hand of destiny, which gives both welcome and regrettable changes. Nature's effects are endlessly mutable, plastic, and changeable, while the spiritual consciousness whose laws govern it is constant and unchanging in constitution—yet simultaneously dynamic and blissfully increasing in love. Everyday we have the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of life and our place in the world and Universe, especially if we are familiar with spiritually philosophical texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, which explain how to live in the world for a transcendent purpose. While there are ideal conditions for contemplation, by practice, we can experience a spiritual outlook under any circumstances, whether at work or educational pursuits, amidst family, or what have you. Every person, or every situation, can be our teacher.
As I feel the brilliant, yet uniquely autumn light of the sun upon my face, lady bugs buzz around my head, and do their work of trying to find shelter for the winter, or for whatever reason they are driven to find their way in our house through cracks or any opening in the building. This year they are extremely plentiful, which has surprised me, since for the last two years, they were much fewer. Some locals are predicting a very cold winter and perhaps this is the reason for their huge numbers. In any case, the lady bugs are driven—forced to be driven—by the laws of their bodily being. Looking at the guest bedroom with the ceiling covered in lady bugs, I reflect about how we are all compelled to act in various ways, due to our conditioned mind and body.
Human life is special, because it can be self-aware, with the intelligence to discriminate the best course of action, ponder philosophical/spiritual questions, and most importantly from a bhakti perspective, to love or give selflessly to our Source, or Krishna. In a sense human life is like Nature waking up to itself, that it has a soul, with the potential to see that the soul is categorically different from matter. We notice in Nature that birds want to soar high in the sky, while fish want to swim deep in the ocean. Although the birds and fish are satisfied within their respective domains, humans sense that they are more than the limited confines physically imposed upon them and so want to do everything other life forms do—and more—to explore outer and inner space. The attempt of human beings to dominate and exploit Nature for selfish ends is a misuse of the underlying purpose of this propensity. At least if we are going to be selfish, we need to know what the self actually is! Our desire to become more is due to fact that we are much more than the body and its limited parameters. We are consciousness, or the spiritual animating principle upon which matter appears to grow and interact. Due to ignorance we try to be best physically, or at least believe that our tiny selfish interest, or survival, is most important even if it's at the cost of others, or the whole planet.
Although in the past material science has ignored consciousness, today it is considered to be the last frontier by some. Unfortunately most scientists believe that consciousness is a result of the brain, and thus begin with this assumption in their research. They are asking, "At what stage does matter begin to become conscious?", rather than posing the question "DOES matter gives rise to consciousness, or does it have another source?" , which would show less bias and be more scientific. At the very least both questions should be pondered equally in the spirit of understanding the truth.
The subject matter of Vedic texts like the Shrimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, etc, is consciousness, so according to the current trends in science to explain consciousness, they are very relevant to the times we live in. Vedic literature doesn't go into as much detail about how the Natural world works because they consider consciousness much more important and primary—that Nature has meaning and utility only in relationship to revealing spiritual truth. They deal with the material world only in as much as it can facilitate reviving our spiritual awareness. In India, philosophy was never separated from revelation or spirituality like in the West, so it is very spiritually developed and helpful for going deeper into consciousness. Such philosophy has a natural bias toward spirit and God due to the realization of the authors, rather than toward a materialistic, physical world view as science does.
If we do study Nature, we will not find her secrets if we approach Her with an exploitive attitude. Only if we study Nature as a steward, in a mood of love to use Her resources to foster spiritual growth and service to the Divine will She reveal Her most important secret that She is an energy and servant of Bhagavan, or Shri Krishna. Her ultimate purpose is to help awaken us to our eternal nature. As above, so below, so we can get hints which help us to understand the consciousness of consciousness (the Supreme Spirit, or God) by studying the bhakti Vedic scriptures with advanced spiritual practitioners and realized souls. Then, by watching the wind, and wondering about the lady bug, we will find answers that science misses. Rather than the quest to be the best, we will be on the quest to serve the (Supreme) Best. We become "the best" by surrendering to and serving the ultimate Best. That is the fulfillment of all our (re)search and aspirations, the happiness our heart yearns for.

The induction hob fitted in well over our oven and looks sleek, simple and cool. It didn't take that long to master how to use it with a simple swiping technique to turn the heat up and down quickly using a slide control- felt like I was using a giant iPad! First thing I tried was boiling some water - which didn't seem to take very long at all. When I heated some soup I could do this really quickly and then move it directly onto another hob to simmer. When it started bubbling it would immediately stop as soon as I swiped the heat down. Cleaning really quick also. I did find that the hob was sensitive to things being placed on top - there was a spillage and it automatically turned off which is good yet I felt it needed some sort of sound to alert us that it was no longer on. Another draw-back seemed to be the fact that not all our pots and pans were compatible with the new hob meaning I can't use some of my favourite cookware on it and new purchases would have to be made. However- a great product overall!

I vote for Jesus--we all know how loving that guy is!
If you think you need unmerited love, go see your mother while you still can (don't taker personally, jeez)
Actually, I won't be 'seeing' my mother until I'm dead.
Same here. But are you still needing your blanky (rhetorical question)? Probably not. Also, you shouldn't believe in an after-life.
I've never heard of anti-jokes, so I'll have to check out a few. Here's one I just came across:
So many to fuck, so little time...can't fuck 'em all.
Doin what she is self-empowered to do?
Indeed - making her own choices!
I'm not sure this one qualifies because it actually does have a punch line. It changes the definition of "calling" from "giving a name to" to the definition of "beckoning over." Anti-jokes have completely serious answers in the place of a punch line. Like these:
Crickets ... (Channeling Rick Sanchez)
...normal person whose sex life is none of your business.————So I recently discovered "anti-jokes" and I think I may be slightly obsessed with finding reasons to tell one. Someone please give me an intervention.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


text: Barker New Farm Apartment Residential LOCATION New Farm, Brisbane, Queensland ARCHITECT Jemmott. STATUS Under Construction The landscape design intent for 55-61 Barker Street embraces the subtropical climate of Brisbane through the integration and interpretation of landscape elements characteristic of the New Farm area. The design explores how developments of this nature can be more "connected" and contribute to the public domain. This connection has been integrated through the placement of communal passive garden spaces to the front of the building where selected spaces have a strong relationship to the street, similar to the front verandas of traditional Queenslander houses. A varied level of transparency invites views into the front garden while still providing private pockets for residents to comfortably utilise, ultimately activating and promoting surveillance along the street. Rather than hard edges such as walls and fences separating the public and private domains, elements such as timber blades, laser cut screens and lush landscaping present to the street providing an artistic sculptural display that are drawn from and compliment the architectural language of the building. The communal open space offers an intimate composition of landscape elements including swimming pool, shaded outdoor seating, and garden pathway all integrated into a lush subtropical landscape.

KWT is a bicycle parts and accessory wholesaler servicing bicycle stores in Australia and some Pacific Nations.
Selling a combination of known brands and general bicycle components, KWT's goal is to provide products of great value and quality for resale to bicycle retailers.
KWT began in the late 1950's by Kevin Thompson who started from a small shop in Redfern, Sydney, where he sold speciality racing components he imported from Europe and Japan. Kevin was also competing in State and national bicycle races at the time and sponsored numerous teams and riders such as Peter Panton.
In the early 1960's, Kevin became well known for this specialty racing frames, the distribution of the Clement Tubulars and a joint venture which saw him become a part of Atom Imports Wholesale Company also based in Sydney.
In the early 1970's, Kevin took a break and began buying and selling property in Brisbane but within a few years he re-entered the bicycle industry and started a business called KWT. He once again re-established himself as an importer of quality bicyle components and frames importing brand such as Daccordi, Suntour, Campagnolo and Clement and Dourdoigne tubular tyres.
In the early 1980's, Kevin started a family and forged on with arranging numerous bicycle races through South East Queensland.
The 1990's and early 2000's saw the business focused on rubber and general components and in 2006 his son Eamon Thompson took over as Manager of KWT injecting new life into the business.
Today the business is based in Maroochydore on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. His son Eamon now manages the company with a young vibrant team around him. Kevin comes to work most days and occasionally rides his bike, does yoga and visits local bicycle stores.

H5026 Builds the Government Plantation and Dependency Portal
Ah, the legislative session, when elected officials propose ideas that really ought to expose them as unfit to hold elective office. One such bill is H5026, submitted by Democrat John Lombardi (Providence) and Democrat Carol Hagen McEntee (South Kingstown, Narragansett).
Basically, the bill would create a new committee to draw up regulations for homeless shelters based on a broad, peremptory, and abusive list of principles articulated in the "findings." Part of what makes the bill so bad is the chintzy moral sequins that it pastes on the sponsors' moral vanity, seeming to express charitable desires but adopting a number of the characteristics of truly horrendous legislation. Namely:
First, the destructive attitude of such legislation is that anybody who sticks a neck out to help to help our fellow man must accept the government's putting a manacle around it to impose progressive values. Are you a Christian hoping to alleviate suffering? Well, you must deny your religion and "accept gender identity as defined by the individual rather than by the perception of staff and/or other residents." Hoping to stretch your low budget to help as many people as possible? Well, you better stretch that budget some more to "afford an opportunity for children and youth with developmental and/or physical disabilities to develop their full potential within an environment where they can interact and socialize with other children."
In short, Rhode Islanders are not permitted to find niches that allow charitable work within their own comfort zones. All charity is implicitly a subcontract from the government in the legislators' view. Indeed, one gets the impression that the goal is to force everyone and every activity onto the government plantation.
In keeping with that mission, second, the legislation would forced the use of a homeless information management system (HMIS), creating yet another method for the government to tracking of people. No doubt, this HMIS will be tied in with the state's Unified Health Infrastructure Project (UHIP) — aka RI Bridges, aka the dependency portal — to ensure that the state can maximize the number of services it provides… and revenue it collects.
Third, as long as they adhere to the guiding principles of the bill, the legislation gives the regulation committee incredibly broad authority to define their own mission. Moreover, not a single position of the committee is implicitly likely to offer opposing views. They're all interested parties.
Finally, one can't help but notice that there's a Republican in the White House and wonder whether the word has gone out that homelessness is important as an issue (and newspaper headline) again. In that case, the bill is simple partisan line toeing.

One of the questions that I often get asked is, where do I find text that meets the reading level of all my students? There are 2 go to websites that I frequently use to support literacy learning in Science classes:
What are some other places, resources, and ideas you have to integrate literacy learning and supports in your science classroom? Please leave your comments below.
I hope that many of you were able to attend the PSA Superconference that took place in October at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre and at Science World. Planning it was a monumental undertaking by all accounts and there may have been a few hiccups along the way. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Not in all my 25 years of teaching have I seen so many high-quality workshops and opportunities for networking with colleagues from across the province. I felt a new connection to the education professionals in this province and a new excitement for all the great work that is going on in classrooms across the province. We talked about how to improve student engagement or improve our assessment practices. Our colleagues shared their personal experiences with trying new approaches to student inquiry, or their first brave attempts at wading into the new curriculum.
I collaborated with a team of great teachers from Abbotsford as we shared our experiences transitioning to Project Based Learning at the Rick Hansen School of Science and Business. The journey has been challenging and eye-opening. But, it was so encouraging to hear how others were trying renew their classroom practice as well.
All of this made me wonder. In what ways could we keep this open-conversation about our professional practice going? Are there some ways that we can maintain the networking that started at the Superconference? We at the BCScTA are eager to learn about ways that we can work with science teachers across this province. If you have an experience, an idea, or a problem to share, we'd love to hear about it. Will you accept my challenge to keep the conversation about science education going?
John Munro, BCScTA President
The BCScTA is really excited to be offering grants for grassroots projects that inspire our membership. This year, the BCScTA introduced the Science Roots Grant to support collaborative groups in quality science education initiatives.
The funding for these projects are targeted for TTOC costs as the successful applicants collaborate with one another during school time. In our first intake, we received six applications for the grant. A sub-committee reviewed these applications and have awarded up to $2500 towards two projects.
The first project involves a group of elementary teachers collaborating in a book study which will lead to the development of more inquiry opportunities for students in kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 5. The book our members are reading is Totem Pole Carving by Vickie Jensen.
Using the concepts and ideas in Jensen's book, the project team hopes to connect students to the environment around them and to understand that environment from another perspective. More specifically, their goal is to have their students build an understanding of the importance of cedar trees to Salish communities. Essential questions for these grades will be created to inspire and guide students in their inquiry of First Nation scientific concepts and relating them to established concepts within the scientific community.
The second project involves the science department of a secondary school. This group has found that they have had little time to implement meaningful and thoughtful ways to address and assess the curricular competencies at the Grade 8 and 9 levels. This very collaborative science department plans to use release time to create useful resources that they will use collectively as a whole. They are working towards creating meaningful and useful assessment tools, such as rubrics, of those curricular competencies. The assessment tools are meant to be customized and used with all labs and inquiry activities that students already perform. Further to the assessment tools, they are planning on looking at the new resources available for inquiry activities and build those into their repertoires and pair them with the correct assessment tools.
The BCScTA values the sharing of ideas and looks forward reviewing their documentation of their experiences. We plan to read a short report and images of their initiatives that could be shared on the BCScTA website. We hope that these successful applicants' experiences will inform and inspire other members of our science community. In addition, these successful applicants will be invited to present the outcomes of their initiatives at a future Catalyst conference and/or participate in a future Twitter chat.

Nanaimo, BC, employment lawyer Sabrina Yeudall works with employers and employees who need legal advice concerning their rights and obligations when an employment relationship ends. Although most employment in British Columbia is "at will," terminated employees have certain rights to notice and/or compensation when they are dismissed from employment. Learn more here or contact Candid Legal for a consultation if you need experienced assistance with an employment law matter.
People often erroneously understand "wrongful dismissal" to mean that it was wrong to dismiss someone from a job, and that legal action can require the employer to continue their position. This is not the case. Most employment is "at will," which means an employee may be fired at any time for any reason (with some exceptions – for example, you can't be fired for a characteristic that is protected by human rights legislation). In most cases, neither the Courts nor the Employment Standards Branch will force continued employment between parties.
The issue is the amount of notice and/or compensation to which a terminated employee is entitled. In Nanaimo, most employers are governed by the Employment Standards Act, which sets out statutory minimums for the amount of notice or compensation required.
The statutory minimums vary depending on the length of time the employee was employed. No notice or compensation is due an employee who has worked for less than three months. An employee who has worked more than three months but less than twelve months is entitled to notice and/or compensation of one week. Generally, after each additional year of employment, an additional week of notice and/or compensation is required. According to the statutory minimums, the appropriate amount for a "week's pay" is determined by taking an average of regular wages earned over the eight weeks preceding dismissal.
In addition to the statutory minimums set out in British Columbia's Employment Standards Act, a party may be entitled to additional notice. Factors a court would consider to determine whether notice was reasonable include:
Where bad faith is evidenced in the manner of dismissal, an employee may also be entitled to damages for mental distress. Employers are held to an obligation of good faith and fair dealing when dismissing employees, and those that fail to do so risk becoming liable for extended periods of compensation.
Employees who are fired for "just cause" are not entitled to notice or compensation. Determining whether just cause exists is a factually driven, contextually specific exercise. Often, what one party believes to constitute just cause for immediate dismissal is not supported by the law. If you have been terminated by an employer alleging "just cause", or if you are looking for advice as to whether an incident provides you with "just cause" to dismiss an employee, we can help.
We invite you to contact Candid Legal if you need assistance with a British Columbia employment law matter. You may request a consultation by filling out our online form, calling (250) 585-1595, or emailing . Based in Nanaimo, we serve employees and employers throughout Vancouver Island.

We're back with our Inspire Me guest series. Woohooo!
I'm really loving this series and so glad I didn't end up restricting it to the few weeks it was intended to run for. It's packed full of top tips from some super rising-stars of the blogging world and I literally learn something new with every blogger featured. This week I'm so happy to have Kirsty from the Winnettes joining me.
One of the things that I simply LOVE about Kirsty's blog, the Winnettes, is her ability to reinvent her blog so seamlessly, as well as evolving the type of content that she writes about. It's so refreshing and Kirsty's a brilliant example of a blogger who keeps things fresh and moving forwards.
Quick fire questions are so much fun but can also tell us so much about how someone thinks. Let's see how Kirsty got on.
I LOVE beach huts too!
1. How long have you been blogging for and what inspired you to give it a go?
I have been blogging for nearly three years now. I started at my husbands suggestion. Whilst on my second batch of maternity leave I think he could see how bored and lonely I was getting. I have always had a busy mind and if I don't put it to good use I can get very miserable and lose a lot of confidence. He suggested that writing could be a good way to keep my mind ticking over whilst I wasn't working.
2. Think back to when you first started blogging, what if anything has changed the most?
I think my content and writing style has changed the most. I started writing about our family life, as a type of online diary. Now I actually don't share that much about the inner workings of our family but instead share helpful lifestyle posts. These still give an insight into our life approach to things such as parenting but it is far less of a diary style.
3. Are you a pen and paper or straight to the screen type of writer?
I am a straight to screen writer. I love the idea of writing things down but truthfully I like the convenience of editing that technology allows. It has been many years since I have had to write pages and pages of stuff down so I suspect I would get cramp in my hand if I tried to do it now.
4. Where and when do you do most of your writing?
Most of my writing is currently done sat at my dining table whilst the kids play around me. However once my youngest is at preschool (1 week and counting) then I will be working from the office upstairs, sat at my desk and away from the usual distractions. Unless there is a deadline for me to meet I never write during the evenings or weekends as that is reserved for family time.
5. How often do you write and what type of things inspire your blog posts?
I try and write at least once a week but sometimes, if the inspiration strikes me, I will write more in a week and then schedule the posts for the future incase life gets too busy to write or I find a little writer's block sneaks in. My inspiration usually comes from what is interesting me at the time or what I have been learning. I like to better myself, my writing, my baking, so once I have found what works for me I will write it down and share it.
6. Have you ever had a major case of writers block, if so, how did you overcome it?
I often get writers block, or at least it feels often. One of my worst cases saw me not write for over 3 weeks. At first I stressed about it but that just made it worse. My way of coping now is to not worry about it. I love writing so I am not about to give up just because I don't know what to write about for a few weeks. Taking the pressure off myself to write gives my head a chance to find and notice any possible inspiration around me. As bloggers we are all very proud of our little space on the internet, and so we should be. But really, what is actually going to happen if we don't get a post out for a few weeks? As long as you meet any sponsored deadlines it really doesn't matter and it doesn't mean you have failed.
7. Complete one or both of the following sentences. A) Bloggers rock because… B) I am a super blogger because…
Bloggers rock because we are some of the hardest working people around but conduct our work with the grace of a swan whilst frantically peddling below water. No one ever realises how much we do until they try to do it themselves.
8. Name 3 bloggers who inspire you?
Sara Tasker from Me and Orla hugely inspires me. She knows a lot about social media and shares what she knows on her blog, her podcast and through her courses. I already know a lot that she shares but she gives me the direction to put what I know into action. Of course she also teaches me loads that I didn't know before and I am grateful for that.
Sina from Happy Grey Lucky also inspires me. I love her photography skills and the interior of her house. She has given me some brilliant ideas that I have used in our recent living room update. Plus she has inspired me to pack a little lighter the next time we travel…. I am dreadful at packing way too much stuff.
Kerry Villers is another blogger whos content I just love. I always enjoy her Instagram posts and her blog is beautifully laid out and I always learn something. She has interviewed some brilliant people about their social media accounts and they are always so insightful.
9. What is the best piece of blogging advice that you have been given?
It is hard to pick one piece of advice but I think the best thing has always been 'Just ask, never be afraid to ask'. Some of us talk a lot about the lack of transparency in the blogging world amongst fellow bloggers, but how many of us have actually asked? The chances are there will be at least one person willing to answer the question, no matter what it is. Once you have found that person or people then keep them close because one day you may be able to repay the favour.
10. Share your own top blogging tip, advice or quote.
Write to the beat of your own drum.
There is a lot of 'noise' in the blogging world and it can be difficult to know which advice to listen to. I, myself, have been swept away with all the 'You should be writing these types of posts….' and the 'You have to write 5 posts a week AT LEAST' to be noticed. This is particularly rife in various blogger facebook groups. None of this advice is wrong as it has presumably come from a tried and tested method. But that doesn't mean it is right for everyone. And besides which if we all started writing "The 5 best ways to change a nappy and not get wee in your eye" then no one would get any traffic (I have not written that post so if anyone would like to use it as a working title then please go ahead).
Do what feels right for you and write what you want to write about. If you want to start making money then that is a different kettle of fish and you will need to be more selective and deliberate in your writing and approach, but if you are just starting out and what to find a new hobby, then do what feels right, ask if you have a question (no matter how 'big' you think a blogger is they are only human and will feel flattered you felt comfortable enough to ask them.) and don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. You own your blog which means you own your schedule too.

Here's a pop quiz for you: By how much has your big data initiative raised retail sales in the last year? If you don't know, you're not alone. Retailers of all sizes struggle to realize ROI from their data. While the reasons why can and do vary, one of the biggest issues when it comes to analytics is this: retailers get so sidetracked by the possibilities of big data that they forget to stay focused on turning that data into dollars.
Falling Victim To The Data Distraction Trap
Did you know that some marketers use big data to make customer-focused decisions only 11 percent of the time? And a whopping 60 percent of CMOs admit to neglecting customer insights they could derive from big data. Which begs the question: Just what are marketers doing with analytics?
Frankly, modern big data dashboards are interesting and fun to play with. Users can ask virtually any question about their customers and quickly receive gorgeous charts and graphs that present related data. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
Therein lies the distraction.
It's possible, and sometimes really exciting, to explore big data at a granular level, but does knowing the, let's say, sock color preference of one specific customer really impact your bottom line? When everyone is hung up on marginal data points they forget to focus on metrics that have impact on dollars.
Shutting Out The Distraction And Focusing on Dollars
In order to keep focused on data that drives dollars, leaders must adjust their approach. The key is to keep data at the center of all decision making. Big data is not a toy—it's a tool. Instead of playing with numbers, teams should be using those numbers to develop real strategies. Click-through rates are great to know, but instead of focusing on increasing all email clicks, look for insights into what drove customers to click, what those customers are doing once they get to your online store, and what drives them to spend. Use the data not to drive a single click, but multiple conversions.
As big data and analytics become increasingly integrated into retail strategy, it is imperative to keep in mind the end goal of data collection: turning data into dollars. When everyone is focused on that goal, from executive leadership all the way through entry-level associates, you'll know the exact answer the next time someone asks how big data has impacted your bottom line.

Jeremy Hunt: Year-on-year pressure on doctors 'not sustainable'
Doctors 'knew there was going to be pressurised moments' when they went into medicine, but the current situation is 'not sustainable', the health secretary has said.
The interview with ITV News comes as official figures released today show that January saw the worst A&E waiting times performance since monthly records began in 2010, with 77.1% of patients being seen within four hours – well below the 95% target.
Mr Hunt said: 'I completely recognise the pressures that they have been going through and when they signed up to go into medicine they knew there was going to be pressurised moments.
'But I also recognise that it is not sustainable and not fair to say to them this is going to be repeated year in, year out.
'I think we're beyond the time when words from me will make a difference. What they need to see is action.'
Mr Hunt added that 'significantly more' money would need to be spent on the NHS to ensure services could cope with demand.
He said: 'In terms of pressures on the system I think it probably is the worst ever because we've got very high levels of demand.'
He added: 'We've got the flu outbreak which, although it's not an epidemic, is the worst we've had for many years.'
However, the latest flu statistics show that GP consultation rates for flu have fallen in the past week from 52.1 per 100,000 in the week previous, to 43 per 100,000.
Justin Madders MP, Labour's shadow health minister, said Mr Hunt's comments were 'startling' and show 'how entirely out of touch with the reality of the NHS winter crisis Jeremy Hunt is'.
He said: 'It follows the Prime Minister's bizarre comment last month that cancelled operations were 'part of the plan' for the NHS and that 'nothing is perfect'.
'The truth is that our hardworking NHS staff provide the best possible care in the face of unprecedented pressures and are all that stand between the current crisis and total collapse.
'Almost eight years of sustained underfunding of our health and care services have resulted in the worst winter crisis on record, with almost 140,000 patients stuck in the back of ambulances for over 30 minutes. Saying these are 'pressured moments' totally underestimates the scale of the problem.'
Readers' comments (26)
We have to remember that we are members of possibly the most respected profession in this country.it is difficult to maintain a professional demeanour when faced by the comments of this dreadful man.however if you say what you feel the pulse editor has no choice but to moderate your comments
The truth is he has done no more tan carry out the wishes of Cameron and Osborne who starved the NHS and primary care of funds eventually chickens come home to roost in the public sector and that is what is happening.
We are not alone the police service have so few officers theft and burglary are no longer a crime,our armed forces only exist on paper,and social care is non existent in large swathes of England.
Our students have mountains of debt and the Tories tear themselves apart over brexit
The fact that people are dying prematurely in hospital corridors is no surprise
Is it Hunts fault?
He cannot help it
But he put those lazy socialist junior doctors in there place didn't he
Except they are not there anymore
Apologies for the profanity! I understand why it was removed.
'when they signed up to go into medicine they knew there was going to be pressurised moments' is still far more offensive in its intent to paint a picture of short term peaks in demand rather than a persistent system wide prolonged meltdown.
Well blow me a "light bulb moment!" Having graduated in 1986 and worked in NHS since then my comment may have some value. Fair also to say worst Health Secretary ever (and we've had some crackers)and scraping bottom of the barrel isn't even close.
To show how disjointed it all is NICE guidance ng9 issued July last year regarding FIT and we are at the outline business case level now meanwhile GP's expected to follow NICE ASAP!
NG144 re DVT and PE 6 months to comply
Any statistics experts please, take pension around now but no staff to pay into the scheme, sounds like a Carillion type recipe to me.
Plenty else to say but work awaits and no enough space to rant!

And the birthday card, similar to the one I made Wayne, boys are so hard to make for!!
