Angry at feeling used
- 0You'll have to bare with me as this make take some time, but I feel I have to get it off my chest as I am so angry.
This morning I went to work. We have a staff shortage, but this morning, we were fully staffed plus 2 students (I know they don't really count, but they are physical "bodies" if you understand my drift). Those of you who know me may recognise my ongoing problem, but this morning took the biscuit.
I work in the neurology section of a recently merged neurosciences ward (with neurosurgery). Often the nurse in neurology is left on his/her own with NO help from Health Care Assistants (HCA). The neurology section being off from the main ward and usually less heavy. (I don't like it but it's a long story).
Well this morning I knew it would be hard work as I worked a night shift on Saturday night. They were 9 patients, 4 of whom needed virtually full assistance to wash, needing either hoisting or needing assistance of 2 to transfer. 1 of these patients has Guinne Barre Syndrome. I also had a patient who had been fitting (only "mildly" but fitting nonetheless). PLUS 2 neurosurgical lodgers who were going to theatre. During handover this morning the F grade Sister in charge delegated people to areas. I was allocated to neurology. I asked for a HCA to work in my section.
I was told "No, there isn't enough staff."
I said, "There are 4 patients to wash/hoist etc PLUS theatre runs. Can I at least have a student?"
"No, if you want help come and ask for help as and when you need it"
At this point I was angry, but didn't let it show. I just persisted.
I said, "NO, I am not working on my own, it's not safe. I am not busting a gut. Plus I have a patient who was admitted fitting."
Queen ***** then said, "Well me and so and so finished for 8.30am the other day"
Well I persisted and she eventually gave me a HCA, saying she "would need him back later". I wouldn't let him go.
Now THIS is bad enough.
But I started to think. How could you honestly do ALL washes PLUS medicine round BEFORE 8.30? We finish handover by 7.30. That means 1 hour to do ALL that.
I was speaking to the HCA who came to help me, who said that the Sister, when she was working in neurology "the other day" told the patients - get this -
"We are too busy to wash you this morning." And just washed patients hands and faces and was "too busy" for mouth care. He also said that the sister told patients that she "couldn't take them to the toilet straight away" and patients ended up being incontinent.
No wonder they finished for 8.30am!! I am so angry and upset, not only because she wouldn't let me have any help, but mostly because of LACK OF PATIENT CARE!
I am SO angry.
The senior sister is on annual leave this week, I am not sure when she is back but I intend to report this. But I am wondering if it is worth me waiting until the senior sister get's back or is it worth going higher? What I am saying IS only hearsay, but why would he lie?
Your thoughts and ideas appreciated.
- 0Oh, to add. When one of the patients went to theatre, I got in that bed another neurology patient who needed admitting who was dysphasic and post-ictal.
You'd laugh if it wasn't true!
- 0Apr 19, '04 by gwenithShe wants you to work alone when "she and so and so finished by 0830"???
You have three options
1) Let her know that you know she has been shirking care and that you strongly disapprove of this. Risky - this can cause her to target you with slander.
2) Keep stuhm and and collect more incriminating evidence
3) Go to your boss - again unless done right this might bite you in the back
3) Put up with it.
4) Get out
I personally would go higher BUT this is the way I would do it - document - document everything that has happened so far. Take a brisk walk around the park at least half way through writing it all out. Try and get some verifcation for her lack of delivered care other than a second hand report from a HCA.
First step is an informal discussion with your superiors. Give them the heads up that there may be a problem with this girl - you are not reporting her - yet but laying the ground for your NEXT action. Confront her. Let her know that you know she has been slacking off and pretending that it is efficiency.
By doing it this way you have yourself covered management then knows that there is a problem. They know you will confront her and if they have the brains of a rabid rabbit they will take any retaliation she might try to engineer with more than a little grain of salt.
If you want a shoulder mate - don't hesitate to PM me.
- 0Thanks Gwen, you are very kind.
I am thinking of speaking to the HCA who was actually working with her at the time to get her story of what happened. I am in too minds whether to report it to the senior sister or not as the HCA is a friend. I know I shouldn't let this cloud my judgement. My senior sister's immediate superior isn't very approachable, but the senior sister is, tomorrow I am going to find out when she is back from annual leave. I am going to be honest with her and tell her what I know, even though it is only hearsay. I might speak to the HCA who told me the story to see if he was there at the time and maybe encourage him to report it. However, he is shy and may not want to.
I am my patients advocate and they deserve to be cared for better.
Regarding No4: I'm looking for a new job anyway.
Once again, thanks for your support. I'm off to bed now! Gonna sleep on it.
- 0Apr 20, '04 by Nurse RatchedSo am I understanding your staffing correctly? In a hospital setting they were going to stick you alone with 9 patients on day shift, with 4 of them total care and not so much as an aide to help? Wouldn't see me back there again.
The issue of inadequate care on that specific day aside, I would likely report it sooner rather than later to prevent me from being put in this situation again. There should never be just one person on a unit. What if something happens and it's unsafe to leave the pt to call for help?
On my unit (granted it's psych, but nonetheless) there are ALWAYS 2 staff people minimum, even if there is only one patient. The two minimum staff people are nurses so you would have another nurse to call on in the event of an emergency.
- 0Apr 20, '04 by caroladybelleQuote from 3rdShiftGuyTweety, I believe that is how some Europeans (and Australians?) title nurses of certain grades.Why are you calling coworkers "sisters" might I ask?
- 0Apr 21, '04 by OneChattyNurseQuote from KayleshHiya
Sisters are what we here in the UK call the most senior nurse on the ward.. Mostly like the Nurse Manager in the US....
Kaylesh.. US RN living and working in Scotland since 7/99

Erhard Schmidt (13 January 1876 – 6 December 1959) was a Baltic German mathematician whose work significantly influenced the direction of mathematics in the twentieth century.[1]
Schmidt was born in Tartu (German: Dorpat), in the Governorate of Livonia (now Estonia). His advisor was David Hilbert and he was awarded his doctorate from Georg-August University of Göttingen in 1905. His doctoral dissertation was entitled Entwickelung willkürlicher Funktionen nach Systemen vorgeschriebener and was a work on integral equations.[2] Together with David Hilbert he made important contributions to functional analysis.
During World War II Schmidt held positions of authority at the University of Berlin and had to carry out various Nazi resolutions against the Jews—a job that he apparently did not do well, since he was criticized at one point for not understanding the "Jewish question." At the celebration of Schmidt's 75th birthday in 1951 a prominent Jewish mathematician, Hans Freudenthal, who had survived the Nazi years, spoke of the difficulties that Schmidt faced during that period without criticism.[1]
After the war, in 1948, Schmidt founded and became the first editor-in-chief of the journal Mathematische Nachrichten.[1]

I thank the 109,000 people who have voted for me over the last 2 years. I am disappointed we came up short Tuesday, but I am really disappointed the DISTRICT came up short. The voters now have a choice between a Pelosi lover (McIntyre) and slick talker/liar (aka fake Sheriff's Deputy) we know little about who got away with murder in Iraq (Pantano). I am a Republican, but I am a very proud American first. As an American who has been to war 3 times for this country, I cannot support either Pantano or McIntyre. I urge my voters to support either a 3rd Party candidate or choose "none of the above" in the general election for congress in November. When faced with a choice of evil vs. evil, NEVER choose any evil. May God Bless you.

The food is good and seems to be a good deal, until you discover they charge you $1 extra for lettuce and tomato on a sandwich! Just ridiculous!

Back at the tribe beach the losers lick their wounds, with Tony informing us that, "It's better to be pissed off than pissed on," which may or may not be another clue that Morgan is indeed peeing on the shelter floor. Meanwhile, Kass is still trying in vain to legitimize her flip: "What if I made a mistake? So what?" she says to no one in particular. So what? Well, you just guaranteed you won't win the game, so there's that. That's a pretty big damn "what?" if you ask me.
Hey, here's a tip for all future Survivor contestants. Looking to get a few extra seconds of air-time? Afraid you might live up to your last name of Bland with none of your confessional interviews ever seeing the light of day because you are so damn boring? Well, here's a sure fire way to gain some screen time: just relentlessly praise any and all Survivor corporate sponsors and you are good to go. Why, just look at the winners of this episode's Outback Steakhouse reward challenge. They know how to play ball.
Here's Morgan: "It was honestly the best salad I've ever had! We went on to a full-loaded baked potato and the steak was just amazing!"
Check out LJ: "This is perfect!"
Don't forget about Spencer: "The steak was the best thing I'd tasted probably ever!"
Why even Ms. Bland herself, Jefra, got in on the act: "This is the best day! Thank you, Survivor gods!" (Yes, even her effusive praise is boring.)
I can't help but wonder if there is some sort of language in the product placement contract about exactly how many glowing testimonials are required for the sponsors to fork over their money. Of course, the most laughable glowing testimonial in the history of glowing testimonials has to be from Coach during the South Pacific season when he waxed eloquent on the joys of Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill — quite possibly one of the worst movies of all-time. But not to Coach! "Jack & Jill — loved it!" said the heir to Roger Ebert's throne. "I love Adam Sandler. Personally, I'm a fan. It was good because it was funny. But at the same time there was a message, and the message was — hey, family comes first." (Of course, this flat-out lie by Coach about the merits of Jack & Jill still does not come close to matching his greatest moment of that season, when he reached into his famous book of quotes and pulled out this gem by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius: "Some of the greatest inspiration is born of desperation." Wow. Great quote. Only one problem: Marcus Aurelius never said it. Instead, that quote is actually from Jheri curl magnate Comer Cotrell. I guess Coach figured it sounded more dramatic coming from a Roman emperor than a dude who made his millions concocting a strawberry scented oil sheen for afros. And no, unlike Coach, I am not making this up. You figure someone with incredible flowing locks like Coach would be able to keep his haircare icons straight. But I digress.)

What is Creativity? Art as a Symptom of Brain Diseaseby India Bohanna, PhD | September 23, 2012
We don't normally associate creativity with brain disease, but a recent paper published in Brain suggests that maybe we should. When we think of someone affected by a serious brain disorder, we imagine deterioration and loss of function, but a surprising new study shows that some people may actually develop artistic talent as a result of their brain disorder, and that in turn, their art can tell us about the nature of their brain disorder.
This recent review by Schott brings together cases of individuals with neurological conditions, who with no previous artistic motivations suddenly become compelled to make art, and the art is good!
The authors describe a case of an epileptic man with no artistic ability who began to suffer recurring epileptic attacks in which he acted aggressively, could not speak or focus his eyes, and acted out of character. During these attacks, the patient began to draw spontaneously and compulsively, and with remarkable skill. In another case, a 68 year-old man had begun to paint at age 56 with the onset of dementia, despite never being interested in art before. In the ten years that passed after the onset of his dementia, his paintings became more and more detailed, colorful, precise and realistic, and he even began to win awards for his art.
Both these cases highlight the importance of context in understanding how art can tell us about brain disorders. The onset of uncharacteristic artistic behavior or the compulsive desire to create art where there has been no desire before might indicate an emerging neurological abnormality. Similarly, in people who already have creative ability, dramatic changes in style (e.g. from abstract to realistic) can indicate the onset or progression of brain dysfunction.
But how can these unusual events tell doctors about the patient's underlying condition? In these and most other cases of emerging artistry, involvement of the left anterior temporal lobe appears to be crucial. The temporal lobe and frontal brain regions work together and are involved in creativity. Damage or degeneration of temporal regions can release the temporal lobe's inhibitory influence on the frontal cortex, resulting in enhanced creativity. For example, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the elderly man with dementia revealed severe damage to the temporal lobe, while his frontal brain regions remained intact.
Similarly, an imbalance between left and right hemisphere activity appears to affect creativity. For example, in the case of the epileptic patient, based on his unusual behavior, neurologists deduced that the seizures were originating in the left frontal hemisphere. Depression of the dominant, logical left-brain regions during his seizure had caused the "release" of the more creative right brain, resulting in his unusual artistic ability.
These interesting case studies offer a new perspective on the way we study brain disorders, and challenge our understanding of creativity. The neural networks involved in creativity are delicately balanced. Disruption of this network can lead to the surprising and counter-intuitive emergence of new artistic talent; talent that is regarded by many to be a skill that is learned over years of practice. What makes some people artistically talented and others not? Practice or innate ability? The relevance of the age-old debate, 'nature versus nurture?' is brought to the fore by these cases, and points to the emergence of an exciting new, interdisciplinary field of neuroscience research.

Anti-Japan protests in China swell, turn violent
Protests against Japan over its control of disputed islands spread across more than two dozen cities in China and turned violent at times Saturday, with protesters burning Japanese flags and clashing with Chinese paramilitary police at the Japanese Embassy before order was restored.
The Associated Press
Related developmentJapan's new ambassador to China died Sunday morning after an unspecified illness, the Foreign Ministry announced five days after his appointment amid the intensifying territorial dispute between the two countries. Shinichi Nishimiya, 60, was hospitalized Thursday after he collapsed and lost consciousness near his Tokyo home, Kyodo News reported.
Bloomberg News
BEIJING — Protests against Japan over its control of disputed islands spread across more than two dozen cities in China and turned violent at times Saturday, with protesters burning Japanese flags and clashing with Chinese paramilitary police at the Japanese Embassy before order was restored.
Thousands of protesters gathered in front of the embassy in Beijing. Hundreds tried to storm a metal barricade backed by riot police armed with shields, helmets and batons. Many threw rocks, bottles, eggs and traffic cones at the embassy.
The embassy said protesters around the country set fire to Japanese factories, sabotaged assembly lines, looted department stores and illegally entered Japanese businesses.
"We express regret over what has happened today and ask the Chinese government to ensure the safety of Japanese citizens and businesses in China," it said in a statement.
Anti-Japanese sentiment, never far from the surface in China, has been building for weeks, touched off by moves by Tokyo and fanned by a feverish campaign in Chinese state media. Passions grew more heated this past week after the Japanese government purchased the contested East China Sea islands from their private Japanese owners.
Japan's Kyodo News agency said more than 60,000 people protested in at least 28 Chinese cities, making the anti-Japanese demonstrations the largest since the two countries normalized diplomatic relations in 1972. The protests were expected to continue Sunday.
Although Japan has controlled the uninhabited islands — called Diaoyu in Chinese and Senkaku in Japanese — for decades, China saw the purchase as an affront to its claim and as further proof of Tokyo's refusal to negotiate over them.
Beijing made angry protests and tried to bolster its claim by briefly sending marine surveillance ships into what Japan says are its territorial waters around the islands and by ratcheting up state media coverage. Some news programs featured bellicose commentary.
In Japan, candidates vying to lead the top opposition party called for a tough stand against Beijing in the dispute.
Smaller demonstrations had been staged in China throughout the week. But they boiled over Saturday, especially in Beijing.
Outside the Japanese Embassy, the protesters — most of whom appeared to be students — waved Chinese flags and shouted slogans demanding that Japan relinquish the islands. Some hurled rocks, bottles and traffic cones at the embassy. As the crowd grew, police closed off a main thoroughfare to traffic. City buses skipped the stop near the embassy.

Crouse Hospital vascular surgeons Robert Schwartz, MD, and Scott Surowiec, MD, have introduced new technology designed to minimize the risk of loose plaque reaching the brain during critical stages of carotid artery stenting (CAS), greatly expanding treatment options for patients with carotid artery disease.
Carotid artery disease occurs when the main arteries in the neck that bring blood to the brain become narrowed or blocked by plaque. When the carotid arteries are obstructed, people are at increased risk for a stroke, the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
One of the major challenges associated with CAS is the risk of peri-procedural (before the procedure) embolic events that could cause a stroke. This occurs when pieces of plaque that have settled in the carotid artery become dislodged and travel to the brain.
The Gore Flow Reversal System is a unique neuro-protection technology that reverses the flow of blood at the treatment site prior to crossing the lesion. Flow reversal is achieved by selectively stopping carotid artery blood flow via a small shunt inserted from the thigh into the carotid artery, which is located in the neck. This temporarily redirects blood from the area while the artery is being repaired. Small and larger bits of plaque are simultaneously directed away from the brain during the procedure and harmlessly absorbed into the body.
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a newer treatment option that is less invasive than the more traditional carotid endarterectomy, which involves an incision made in the neck to remove the obstruction.
"This new system is not only a significant advancement in neuro-protection, it is an important step forward that may help establish carotid stenting as the therapy of choice for a greater number of patients," says Dr. Schwartz, who, along with partner Dr. Surowiec, are the only two surgeons in Syracuse using the new stenting technology, which received FDA approval earlier this year.

The Undead, they tend to think of the formerly human rising up from their graves or something similar. This trope, on the other hand, is about those whose life started out "fantastic" even before they joined the ranks of the dead. Whether they were an Elf, a Dragon, a Demon, or even something completely divorced from reality, the one thing common among them is that they're all dead (or at least resemble some combination of some sort of traditional undead and its own base species) and still kicking. You may even see an Undead God. In that case, you should run, run as fast as you can. See Raising the Steaks for undead animals (where examples of such should go there instead of here). See Hybrid Monster, when two living fantasy species are combined. Contrast Hybrid Overkill Avoidance. Also, compare Mechanical Monster and Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot. The Grim Reaper and other Psychopomps can be one, depending on their origin. Dracolich is a specific subtrope when the creature turns out to have been a dragon.

hello there everyone!
I have just made a chocolate cake in two 7" round cake tins. But although I love the taste it is too soft! What is the best way to adapt it without compromising/changing the taste too much?!
Would I remove an egg and some of the butter to say 2 large eggs and 225g butter so the butter matches the same amount of sugar? If I understand correctly if I remove an egg it will help make the cake a little bit more denser but wasn't sure about the butter or even the milk/buttermilk!!
Any advice will be great to help me make this great tasting recipe better!
Here are the ingredients I used: -
200g self raising flour
225g caster sugar
75g plain flour
3 large eggs
250g butter
6 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
28g cocoa powder
100g dark chocolate

Haven't exercised much, if at all. Not even much Wii Fit.
Weight: 110lbs (-0.5)
Neck: 12"
Upper Arm: 10.25"
Waist: 26.75"
Upper Hips: 34" (0.25)
Hips: 36.5
Upper Thigh: 20.5"
These past two weeks I've only lost about a half-pound from my weight, but I lost a half-inch from my waist and 0.75" from around my hip/belly area. Plus, today I'm bloated so these measurements are probably on the high side.
The Bootcamp is over. I wasn't doing as well as I should this last week. But I'm going to continue to follow the daily video and watch what I eat. I still have a ways to go until my goal.
For June 2, 2008:
Weight: 110.5lbs
Neck: 12"
Upper Arm: 10.25"
Waist: 26.75" (-0.5)
Upper Hips: 33.5" (-0.75)
Hips: 36.5
Upper Thigh: 20.5"
So this past month during the Bootcamp I've lost:
3.5 lbs
1.25" from my waist
0.25" from my thighs
1" from my hips
Not too shabby.
I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been 100% on target in regards to my daily cardio. I need to get back on track with that. I'd be doing a lot more bike riding except my bike is temporarily out of comission.
I HAVE been doing the daily videos though (except on Sunday, boo). Which is a big step for me, getting up a bit earlier each morning in order to exercise.
Diet-wise, I've been on target about 98% of the time. This weekend was the worst I've done in two weeks, when a scoop of Oberweis Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream was my downfall. But all I can do is get back on track, right?
In the past two weeks since starting the Bootcamp, I've lost:
3 lbs (111 lbs)
0.75" from my waist (27.25")
0.25" from my thighs (20.25)
0.25" from my hips (34.35)
I discovered that I had been taking my hip measurement in the wrong spot -- around my hip bones. So I'm going to call what I have been measuring my "upper hip" and take the real hip measurement and call it just "hips" I'm going to keep putting the upper hip measurement in my tracker though so it doesn't take a huge jump.
Weight: 111lbs
Neck: 12"
Upper Arm: 10.25"
Waist: 27.25"
Upper Hips: 34.25"
Hips: 36.5
Upper Thigh: 20.5"
Woke up early again to do the official video.
Went bike riding tonight and only made it a short distance before my rear tire blew. At least I got some exercise walking home dragging my bike after me. That counts for cardio, right?
The next few days will suck. I'm going into work early so I need to get up even earlier in order to exercise... plus I have stuff going on after work to limit my free time even more. If I can get the video AND cardio done before work...
I should call it the correct name, shouldn't I?
Day 1 recap -- I did the video later in the evening. I stuck pretty good to the diet, only went about 100 calories over with a slice of apple pie for dessert.
Day 2 -- I woke up early this morning and did the Day 2 video first thing. When I got home from work I did 45 minutes of cardio (Wii boxing/tennis and a bike ride around the neighborhood).
I also met the bonus challenge, which was aided by a free fruit & yogurt breakfast at the office today.
I think that I'm off to a good start.

Now that he's raised awareness of his lifestyle, David Jay, founder of AVEN, is working to change mainstream beliefs about sex drives.
David Jay was in middle school when everyone around him grew suddenly obsessed with the same all-consuming impulse. It wasn't sex per se, but it was its nascent beginnings. While his classmates talked non-stop about which movie stars they thought were hot, eyed each other in the hallway, and made their first, awkward attempts at dating, Jay was left feeling distinctly out of the loop.
"I just didn't get it," he recalls. "I didn't have a reference point to understand what they were going through. And that's really terrifying, because everyone assumes that's what should be happening for you. Sexuality is a really big deal for almost everyone, from middle school on. It's a really central part of a lot of people's lives."
But sex was not a central part of David Jay's life: not in middle school, not in high school, and not now. That's because, like approximately one percent of the population, Jay identifies as asexual. Not only that, he is America's best known asexual person, serving as the emergent sexual orientation's attractive, articulate spokesperson on everything from The View, to MTV, to France 24.
Jay launched the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), an online community dedicated to raising awareness of asexuality and providing support to people who identify as asexual, in 2001, when he was 18 and a college freshman. "I had spent the past four years struggling to realize that I was okay, and I didn't want other asexual people to have the realize the same thing," he says. The website soon became a rallying cry: first for hundreds, then thousands, and later tens of thousands of people who felt alienated from the sexual stories and imagery that dominate our culture.
If we stop defining our significant relationships only as those that are romantic or sexual, being single will take on new meaning.
At its most basic, asexuality is defined by an absence of sexual attraction. Some asexual people are in romantic relationships, others aren't. Some are outgoing, others are shy. Some are sexually active for the sake of their partners or social pressure, some have never so much as kissed another person. Some think sex is disgusting, some are indifferent, and some think it's great for other people but have no wish to "go there" themselves.
But what all asexual people have in common -- and what defines asexuality as an orientation -- is that, while they may have a desire to connect with other people, asexuals have no desire to connect with them sexually. Asexual people are not the same as celibate people: it's not that they are purposefully or unintentionally abstaining from sex they would otherwise like to have, but rather that they have no interest in it.
There have always been people who didn't want or seek out sex, and there have long been people who have described themselves (even if only in the recesses of their own minds) as asexual. It's just that before Google came along, they couldn't find each other. David Jay didn't invent asexuality. But his website did arrive right at the critical moment at which a person typing that word into a search engine could stumble upon a relevant community -- rather than, say, an article about the reproductive systems of sea stars.
But although the Internet provided the technology for people to start talking about asexuality, it was not the only -- or even the most important -- condition necessary for that conversation, says Mark Carrigan, a researcher at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. "There had to be something about [asexual people's] experience that led them to want to have those conversations in the first place," he says.
That something is the sense of not just difference, but of defect, that Jay alludes to in his memories of middle and high school. "For a couple of years I just assumed that I was broken," he says.
And that feeling of being broken is more than just a matter of individual neurosis. It is illustrative of how deeply what Carrigan calls "the sexual assumption" is embedded in our society -- "the idea that everyone has sexual attraction, that it's this powerful force inside of you, and that it is experienced the same way by every person," Carrigan explains.
History shows that this was not always the case. Sex has long been considered a matter of great importance in Western culture, from the Ancient Greeks' fixation on moderation, to the asceticism of the early Christians.
But the particular ways in which sex was considered important changed significantly throughout the 20th century, as we stumbled awkwardly from a culture that prized sexual restraint to one that celebrated free expression -- or at least the outward appearance of it. At the same time, the rise of sexology, sexperts, and lifestyle journalism meant that we started talking about sex more than ever before: as a health issue, a relationship issue, and an identity issue. Increasingly, sex was expected to hold our relationships together, boost our self-esteem, and dissolve our discontent.
Says Carrigan: "These assumptions about sex are so ingrained, that if you're sexual you don't notice them. But asexual people do notice them, because their experiences don't fit." And over the past couple of decades especially, people who didn't fit those particular expectations stood out.

3rd overnight
Yay! A flight without any drama! We boarded and headed on our way to Louisville with no problems. We got in about midnight. It had been snowing and the roads were bad on the way to the hotel. We were going to go to the Louisville Slugger Bat Factory and Museum but with the roads the way they were. It would just depend on what the roads are like in the morning.
Day 3
Since this is a 32 hour overnight and I had all day today, I decided to rent a car and go exploring. No one else wanted to go so I went by myself. My first stop was President Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in Hodgenville, KY. I remember going there as a kid but I have very vague memories of it and it doesn't look anything like what I remember. Then I …

I had fun today, saw a lot of history which is what I enjoy. I love American History. And it was a beautiful day. The wind was cold though but the sun was out. I'm just glad I didn't have rain because they had it the day before and the day after it was supposed to rain.
Day 3
After I left Abraham Lincoln's birthplace and childhood home, I drove to Perryville, KY to see the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Park. I love the Civil War era so I was looking forward to this. They had a lot of rain so the ground was a bit marshy so I didn't get to walk around as much as I would have liked to on the trails. It was a …

This hasn't been my favorite hotel or overnight that we stay in but the location isn't bad. There's a lot of restaurants around and stores. Up until this trip, the highlight of my trip was walking to Walmart and Hancock Fabrics. But after I picked up a tourist book on Louisville, I realized there is a lot to do in and around Louisville.

Does IP Stimulate Growth and Create Jobs? New European Data Says Yes
By Clark Herman | Published: October 16, 2013
A new study shows the importance of intellectual property in stimulating jobs and productivity in the EU. Surprisingly, it illustrates pharma's established position as an IP powerhouse, evidence that adds conviction to the views expressed by GSK CEO Andrew Witty and other industry leaders that growing cuts on drug pricing are limiting an industry that […]

Arise Sir Andrew (Witty)
By Guest Blogger | Published: January 4, 2012
Big Pharma received a nod in the UK's New Year's Honours List this week when a knighthood was duly bestowed upon GSK's Andrew Witty — making him 'Sir Andrew' to you and me. For once, though, receiving such an honor did not exactly place him in totally exalted company.

It's Industry's Problem: A Fresh Take on R&D Costs
By William Looney | Published: October 19, 2011
High in-house failure rates are slowing progress on pricing affordability, says GSK CEO Andrew Witty. If there is one message that big pharma has applied consistently over the years, it is that drug development is very expensive. Big bucks and long-term investment in the institutional know-how and capacity built exclusively through private enterprise are what […]

Europe's Fiscal Crisis: Can Big Pharma Emerge Unscathed?
By William Looney | Published: June 2, 2010
Europe's current fiscal crisis, symbolized by the meltdown in Greece, is seen by big pharma as a temporary situation to be taken in stride—after all, the EU southern and eastern tier, with its chronically shaky finances and per capita incomes as low as a third of the EU norm, has historically been a marginal player […]

I live in Austin tx, love the way the hammerhead 100x rides but want to add a 29er to the mix. I'd ideally like it to have similar feel as possible to current hammerhead just benefits of larger wheels.
Budget isn't a concern- looking for advice on bikes to consider- I ride city park, walnut, thumper and most other spots in the area.
Thx ahead of time for advice.....

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Russia spy scandal and the consistency in tradecraft provides a
good opportunity to compare US-Russia relations today to what they
were in the heat of the Cold War. For Russia, the issue always came
down to the need for tech. They couldn't keep up with US development
durign the Cold War and the US took advantage of that -- think
Operation Farewell. in the wake of the Soviet collapse, there was a
huge push to acquire Western tech and investment and use that as a
basis for cooperation, but Russia was in complete shambles. They
couldn't survive that openness to the West. In fact, it destroyed
them. interestingly, that's also when you had Putin pursuing his KGP
assignment to acquire tech from the West. Fast foward to today and you
have a Soviet Un, er Russia, that has benefited from the past nine of
year of US distractions to achieve its geopolitical imperative of
consolidating influence in each and every one of its borderlands. Now,
we have a Russia ready to think long-term security again and in a
position to do so, hence the outreach to the US for tech investment.
The intel tradecraft from the Cold War days hasn't changed much, and
neither have Russia's or US's core interests. This is also why you
have the US totally downplaying the spy scandal and announcing today
that no Russian diplomats would be expelled over the incident.
Latam - not much to report today, though the recent rig seizures in VZ
are all the more revealing of the serious cash-flow problems the state-
owned entities are running into. Peru is also fighting a hard battle
at home in making its big debut as a natural gas exporter.

Who are the most overrated composers?
I was talking to someone recently who claimed that Tchaikovsky was overrated.
It's at moments like this when you realize how completely subjective music is. I can't prove to anyone that Tchaikovsky deserves every word of praise uttered about him, every tear shed, every hair rising on every neck for the past one hundred years. And actually as I get older I find it easier to let such opinions pass by without much of a comment except a gentle word of quiet dissent. But it did set me thinking: who are the composers who are overrated? I'm not sure I have an easy answer … but perhaps my readers out there do.

Tesla Motors Brings Revolutionary Supercharger To Europe With Launch Across Norway
OSLO, Norway, August 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Tesla offers Model S customers free, fast charging for convenient long distances drives
Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) today unveiled its highly anticipated European Supercharger network, energizing stations across Norway that enable Model S owners to conveniently travel for free between cities along well-traveled highways throughout the country.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130830/637599 )With locations in Lyngdal, Aurland, Dombås, Gol, Cinderella and Lillehammer, Norway's most vital and commonly used roads and highways are covered by Tesla Superchargers. Model S customers can drive routes such as the E6 from Trondheim to Oslo, the E18 from Oslo to Kristiansand, the E39 from Kristiansand to Stavanger, and Highway7 from Oslo to Gol for free and with minimal stops. Approximately 90 percent of the Norwegian population lives within 320 km of a Supercharger station, and about 60 percent of the country's total land mass is within the same distance of a station. Tesla Superchargers represent the most advanced charging technology in the world, capable of charging Model S 20x faster than most common charging stations. Superchargers provide half a charge in about 20 minutes, delivering up to 120 kW DC (Direct Current) power directly to the Model S battery using special cables that bypass the onboard charging equipment. And because Superchargers are located where customers want to stop, near amenities like roadside diners, cafes and shopping centers, road trippers can stop for a quick meal while their Model S charges for free. The extensive coverage provided by Tesla's Supercharger network allowed three Model S to depart for Oslo this morning from locations in the north, west and south of Norway and travel the following major routes with ease: Trondheim-Dombås-Lillehammer-Oslo; Bergen-Aurland-Gol-Oslo; and Stavanger-Lyngdal- Cinderella-Oslo. During their 500 km journeys, each car charged at two of the new Tesla Supercharger locations, where they were met by enthusiastic customers and local officials. Throughout the day, the drives were chronicled on Tesla's Twitter feed @TeslaMotors and our new European account, @Tesla_Europe, via the hashtag #EuroSupercharger and on Tesla's Facebook page.

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) In response to the growing need for a way to easily access and analyze massive amounts of heterogeneous data in the fields of earth and environmental sciences, UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), a core partner in a joint effort to streamline such research, presents DataONE, the Data Observation Network for Earth. DataONE is capable of providing researchers access to globally distributed, networked data from a single point of discovery.
"People have been gathering and synthesizing ecological data for decades," said NCEAS Director of Informatics Research and Development and DataONE co-investigator Matthew Jones. Much of the problem an issue that NCEAS has been working to address since its inception in 1995 is the time and effort spent on locating, gathering, checking, and transforming data of interest for synthesis.
It's an effort that can take researchers nearly a year to complete, as they examine and analyze various forms of information, from remotely sensed data, to hundreds of published papers, to historic observational field data. Simultaneously, these researchers search remote repositories, check for duplicates, and integrate the information, as they try to find answers to complex problems that affect both science and society.
"Right now researchers have a hard time even finding the right data to answer complex environmental questions, and when they do, the work necessary to integrate really different types of data can be overwhelming," said NCEAS Deputy Director and DataONE co-investigator Stephanie Hampton. "DataONE provides the type of platform we need, to propel environmental science into the digital age."
DataONE, through the knowledge and infrastructure provided by library, computer, and environmental science experts, currently integrates information held by South Africa National Parks; the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity; the Ecological S

Bye bye quality chocolate then.
If cadburys wanted to remain British they would have remained a private company not a PLC.
Cadburys and quality chocolate in the same sentence no way!
another british company bought, packed up and shipped elsewhere.
My life is ruined! RUINED!
lucky i sent my certificates in when i was back at xmas.
it's a shame to see it get taken over, but at least the deal is much better.
i suppose we'll see little triangles packets and thin slices of processed chocolate in the future. hey ho, i've been slowly moving to other brands anyway.
Cadburys cream cheese eggs for Easter then this year.
So long as Booja Booja stay British, i'll be happy

dancin' Sam Herring @ Mohawk - 4/23/2014
Future Islands brought their North American tour, which has already hit NYC, SXSW, Chicago, Portland, Coachella and other places, back to Austin this week for a show at Mohawk this past Wednesday (4/23). Future Islands have been experiencing newfound success, thanks in part to their Letterman meme and their new album on 4AD, Singles, which has the material to back it up. They played plenty of that album, plus their earlier albums at Wednesday's show.
Opening the show was their tourmates/Baltimore pals Ed Schrader's Music Beat whose post-punk sound is always entertaining, and Austin locals Knifight. Pictures of all three bands are in this post. They continue below...

Japan is responsible for a lot of great beauty products, including everything ever made by Shu Uemura. But as we recently learned while perusing our favorite one-stop ecommerce destination, Japan Trend Shop, this nation also has some pretty questionable beauty products to offer you and your family.
Most of them are plastic, we're pretty sure none of them work, and they range from goofy-looking to downright dangerous. Take a cruise through this slideshow and rest assured that your $50 wrinkle-cream habit isn't that weird, after all.
Facewaver Exercise Mask
Stretch your face out while wearing a giant sock on it! Honestly, there's no point being hot if DOING THIS is part of your daily routine.
Beauty Lift High Nose
Great for people who want about 25 percent of the discomfort of a nose job, with probably none of the results.
Beauty Voice Trainer
It positions your tongue so that your voice will be "dulcet" and you can be more like the girl in the bottom right corner there.
Good Night Brow Stretcher
Someone should check on her.
Beauty Bottom Butt Shaping Cushion
Apparently, sitting all day is conducive to obtaining a beauty bottom — as long as you're sitting on a pink cushion with a little hole so you can poop without getting up?
Parts Beauty Face Belt
