Frequently Asked Questions
Below are a collection of FAQS by Miss Jordan Quinn that you may find useful
Are your photos real?
Yes. My photos are 100% me. I take pride in keeping my photos as accurate as possible, with minimal editing. My gallery includes both professional photos and selfies for your reference
Your reviews are they scripted?
None are scripted. My reviews have been posted on Adult Forum, ScarletBlue, PunterPlanet and NZ Pleasures. Sometimes a gent will email/text me a review that he wants me to put up on my site as a thank you
How long have you been a sex worker?
It will be 5 years on Feb 22nd 2019
Why don't you show your face? Can I have a face pic before I book?
I don't show my face due to the stigma wrongly attached to the industry. I will not be discriminated against for a job position or travel opportunities simply due to someone else's moral compass. Also, I don't show my face for privacy reasons.
No, you cannot have a face pic – that defeats the purpose of keeping my privacy.
"You must be ugly then" – if that's your retort then best you not book me. I don't think we'll be suited to one another.
What should I expect?
Expect to be greeted at the door by a tall, brunette, adorned with a lipstick smile and bright eyes. I usually wear heels and a shapely dress, akin to that of a secretary or sexy librarian (or so I've been told). Underneath I'll be wearing beautiful matching lingerie, with garter and stockings to complete the look.
Can I see you today?
Due to my busy schedule, I appreciate appointments that allow 24 hours notice. On the day appointments are rare. Organised clients who pre-book are my favourite!
Do you enjoy your work?
Yes – I love being a sex worker. I love bringing happiness and a smile to peoples faces. I love engaging in conversation, sharing wine and nibbles, really getting to know a person and then getting to know their intimate side, their desires and their kinks.
What do you offer?
Services include Sensual Massage (SM), Girlfriend Experience (GFE), Girlfriend Plus Experience (GFE+) and the Works, Dinner Dates and Overnights.
Length of service varies from 30mins, an hour, multiple hours, to overnights and weekend getaways.
See my Services and Rates page for more info
What's your favourite kind of bookings in terms of duration?
90mins-2 hours I think is the sweet spot. Enough time to truly relax, have a drink, chat and giggle and take things at a more fluid pace.
Dinner dates are also perfect! They fulfil my love of food and chatter with plenty of bedroom time too!
Can I extend my booking?
Yes you may. However, if not arranged before our appointment date/time you will be charged the full rate, instead of the package rates for multiple hours. Knowing exactly how long you would like to spend with me before our date allows me to adequately prepare to give you the best of me. – Thank you
Who is the perfect client?
It doesn't take much to be a perfect client.
It all starts with making contact, simply use your manners and remember I am human. If your initial contact looks something like this you're on the right track:
"Hi Jordan. My name is X. I would like to see you on X day at X time. I'm interested in X service for X amount of time. Thank you"
I am a virgin, is that ok?
As long as you are 18+ years old, that's perfectly fine.
I've seen many virgins over the years, some who have come back time and time again to build up their confidence. There's no shame in being a virgin, and what's more, if you let me know in the booking process I can tailor the booking to suit you and make 100% sure you are comfortable at every step.
I am X race, X age, X weight - will you see me?
It saddens me that people feel they need to disclose their age, race or weight as if it's a negative. As long as you are respectful towards me then those things won't matter. I am open to all races, all body types and all ages (18+ only of course)
Do you offer incall or outcall?
Incalls are from my CBD, discrete and modern apartment in Wellington.
Outcalls are to CBD hotels. An outcall fee will apply to hotels and private residences not within the CBD.
For private residences proof of address is needed.
Can I film or take photos of you as a keepsake?
No. Filming and Photos are strictly not allowed.
Do you offer Anal (Greek)?
I once had anal/greek on my services list but removed it. I will now only offer it to established clients at my discretion.
Favourite restaurants or food?
I love Avida (Spanish tapas) in Wellington, Logan Brown in Wellington, Charlie Noble in Wellington, Ebisu (Japanese) in Auckland, Corianders (Indian) in Hamner Springs, King of Snakes (Asian Fusion) in Christchurch and many many more!
I like most foods, except chilli!
I love tapas style or cheese platters, with chilled meats, olives and bread! Yum!
If you're interested in sharing a platter just let me know, I make a heavenly spread!
Can I bring you a gift?
Gifts are not mandatory, but much appreciated 🙂
Please see my wishlist

Countdown begins to South West aerospace Oscars
Stars of Dorset's aerospace and defence sectors are being encouraged to submit their entries for the West of England Aerospace Forum (WEAF) Aerospace Ambassadors Awards, as the deadline fast approaches.
Nominations for the awards close on 9 June 2017. Winners will be announced at a celebration dinner taking place on 28 June at Bristol Museum.
This is the first year WEAF has run the awards which are designed to celebrate individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the region's aerospace and defence industry.
The South West has one of the largest concentrations of aerospace and defence capabilities in Europe, and is the biggest aerospace cluster in the UK worth more than £7 billion. Dorset companies represent almost 15% of the total WEAF membership, and include leading names in the aerospace industry such as Beagle Technology Group based in Christchurch which designs and manufactures metallic and composite parts and structures, as well as highly finished components.
The awards are free to enter and are open to everyone working in the sector. The six award categories are:
- Best Aerospace Design Engineer
- Best Young Aerospace Entrant
- Best representative of Diversity
- Ed Strongman Legacy Award
- Best Aerospace Customer Service
- Best Aerospace Media Ambassador (Short film)
The winners will be selected by an independent panel of recognised experts from across the region's aerospace and defence industry.
Simon Young, Chief Executive of WEAF, the leading membership trade organisation for aerospace and defence companies in the South West, said: "The South West's aerospace sector contains some of the brightest and most talented individuals in engineering today. These awards are designed to celebrate the sector's unsung heroes and shine a spotlight on their outstanding achievements.
"We've had some impressive submissions already but with less than a month to go to the entry deadline, the clock is ticking, so please don't let talent and achievement go unrecognised – get nominating now! And if you're in aerospace engineering and the sector, don't miss out on an exceptional opportunity to network and celebrate – book your place at what promises to be an inspiring and uplifting evening!"
John Taylor, Managing Director at Beagle Technology Group and board member of Bournemouth and Poole College, said: "I know from first-hand experience the significant role that Dorset companies play – both financially and jobs wise – in the South West's aerospace sector. There are so many talented individuals working in Dorset's aerospace sector, many of whom are involved in the iAero project which aims to develop the South West's aerospace capability by improving technology, skills and supply chains. So let's put the county firmly on the aerospace map by nominating our brightest and best aerospace stars and coming together for a great night of celebration and networking!"
Headline sponsors include Clevedon-based SKF Aerospace – which specialises in the design and manufacture of high technology self-lubricated plain bearings for aerospace and industrial applications.
Individual award sponsors include Airbus, Castlemead Insurance, Bridgwater & Taunton College, Smith and Williamson, Trowers and Hamlins LLP and Aro PR and Marketing.
To nominate someone for an award or to book your place, call WEAF on Tel: 01275 872353 or visit http://www.weaf.co.uk/

dated August 5th 1813
My answer to the summons was, that I was determined to defend the place to the extremity, and that no show of force, however large, should induce me to surrender it.
So soon as the flag had returned, a brisk fire was opened apon us, from the gunboats in the river, and from a five and a half inch howitzer, on shore, which was kept up with little intermission throughout the night.
At an early hour the next morning, three sixes (which had been placed with 250 yards of the pickets), began to play apon us - but with little effect.
About four o'clock p.m., discovering that the fire, from all his guns was concentrated against the N.W. angle of the fort, I became confident that his objective was to make a breach, and attempt to storm the works at this point.
I therefore ordered out as many men as could be employed, for the purpose of strengthening that part - which was so effectually secured, by means of bags of flour, sand, &c., that the picketing suffered little or no injury; notwithstanding which, the enemy, about 500, having formed in close column, advanced to assault our works, at the expected point; at the same time making two feints on the front of Captain Hunter's lines. The column which advanced against the north western angle, consisting of about 350 men, was so completely eveloped in smoke as not to be discovered, until it had approached within 18 or 20 paces of the lines; but the men being at their posts, and ready to receive it, commenced so heavy and galling a fire as to throw the column a little into confusion; being quickly rallied, it advanced to the outworks, and began to leap into the ditch; just at that moment a fire of grape was opened from our six-pounder (which had been previously arranged, so as to rake in that direction), which, together with the musketry, threw them into such confusion, that they were compelled to retire precipitately to the woods.
During the assault, which lasted about half an hour, an incessant fire was kept up by the enemy's artillery (which consisted of five sixes and a howizter), but without effect.
My whole loss, was one killed and seven slightly wounded. The loss of the enemy, in killed, wounded, and prisonors, must excede 150.
One Lieutenant Colonel, a Lieutenant, and 50 rank and file, were found in the ditch, dead or wounded; those of the remainder, who were not able to escape, were taken off, during the night by the Indians.
Seventy stand of arms and several brace of pistols have been collected near the works.
About three in the morning the enemy sailed down the river, leaving behind them a boat, containing clothing and considerable military stores.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the officers, non commissioned officers, and privates under my command, for their gallantry and good conduct during the siege.
Yours, with respect,
G. Croghan.
Major 17th U.S. Inf. commanding

Expressions of joy were muted on Wall Street at Friday's release of the latest report from the Conference Board (CB) showing its Leading Economic Index (LEI) jumping 0.9 percent in October, following just a 0.1 percent gain in September. Economic analysts had a field day trying to read the CB's tea leaves heading into the Christmas holidays and the new year.
Economists at the Conference Board were guardedly optimistic. Ataman Oxyildirim said, "The October rebound of the LEI largely due to the sharp pickup in housing permits suggests that the risk of an economic downturn has receded." Added Ken Goldstein, "The LEI is pointing to continued growth this winter, possibly even gaining a little momentum by spring. The lack of confidence has been the biggest obstacle in generating forward momentum, domestically or globally. As long as it lasts, there is a

Once you've set aside the extra cash and scheduled the contractors for your home renovation, the hard work isn't done just yet. Before you start remodeling your home, you and your family need to sit down to have a meeting to decide whether you'll stay or go once your home becomes a construction zone.
Set Realistic Expectations
Although many of us live with the "glass half full" outlook on the world, it's important to set realistic expectations for your timeline and budget for a home remodel. Any experienced contractor will be able to tell you how long a remodeling project should take in a particular room.
Granted, you will also need to add on other contracting needs for the same room, such as woodworking, plumbing, tiling, and electrical rewiring in a kitchen renovation. This means that you may have five or more contractors working on your home at any given time.
As you can imagine, this could turn a central room in your house into a literal construction zone. In most cases, it will be virtually impossible to continue to live in your residence if a major room like a kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom is being renovated.
If several rooms in your house are undergoing construction, you can kiss your sanity goodbye. When you factor in the constant noise, dust, dirt, mess, and headache of the construction process, it often makes more sense to temporarily live in a hotel or apartment or to stay with a family member while your home is being renovated.
Prepare to Dispose of Waste
Often times your "small" project will produce much more waste than anticipated. When this happens, it is likely that you won't just simply be able to include this with your weekly trash pickup, and unless you have access to a trailer, and are will to load the construction debris and take it to the dump, you will need to consider dumpster rental options. There are multiple Yard debris removal, as well as where can I rent a dumpster in miamioptions available. Just call to make sure you have the appropriate size for your job.
Rent a Storage Unit
If you plan to live in your home during the construction process, you can set contractors up for success to help a project go smoothly to complete it within the shortest amount of time possible. How is this done, you ask? To provide contractors with the room that they need to finish a renovation, it's recommended to rent a storage unit to move all furniture out of a room before the remodel begins.
For example, if contractors will be installing new windows in a dining room or living room, it's best to rent a storage unit to move all furniture in a room out of the house completely until the project is over. Not only will contractors appreciate this additional support, but it will prevent your furniture from getting scratched, chipped, or broken during the tedious construction process.
Consider Your Finances
Many times, it all comes down to what you can afford to determine if you will move out of your home or stay in your residence during a remodel. However, keep in mind that in some cases, denver area services for moving to a temporary residence can allow contractors to work more efficiently to complete a project in a shorter amount of time to help you save money on overall labor.
For the best results, consult with each individual contractor to determine how much time, space, and money that they will need to complete a project. If a contractor prefers that a home is empty or that furniture is moved from a room, respecting his wishes will help a remodeling project to go as smoothly as possible.
Finally, contact any Austin Moving Company to push through with the move.

This Postwar 12 Saloon was one of the attendees
This was our first visit to "Classics on the Green" which is at Croxley Green in Hertfordshire, a small village just north of Watford but inside the M25. Held every year on a Wednesday evening, this year's event attracted an attendance of, we guessed, about 500 classic cars of all sorts and sizes.
The three Standards that attended were all by chance parked within a few cars of each other, so their owners were able to converse. This was the first trip out for our Standard 10 after the rebuild of its front suspension and brakes. The springs have been re-

Alexandra Kawiak solo show at WE in Torino
Alexandra Kawiak, La rumeur, video, 2007
Alexandra Kawiak
Opening 3 June 2010, 6 p.m. with 'Tea for more', urban intervention (Via Maddalene 40/b), in collaboration with Alma Mater, Turin Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. or by appointment Curated by Karin Gavassa Free entrance
0039 011 19865480
via Maddalene 40/b
The exhibition project builds on an overview of the eclectic practice of French artist Alexandra Kawiak. The exhibition will comprise original contributions especially conceived for this show as well as site specific installation and videos.
The work of Alexandra Kawiak (Paris, 1984) deals with the conditions of migrant women living in Europe and the relationship between emotions and intimacy in their everyday life. After traveling in South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia and Zimbabwe, her research focused on immigrant topics such as the loss of identity, homesickness and the condition of females that often turns into complicity,
support and mutual aid.
On this occasion, Alexandra Kawiak presents Tea for more, an intervention made in collaboration with the Centro Interculturale delle Donne Alma Mater, Turin, a well-known point of reference for native and migrant women which works on a multi-ethnic culture in Turin. Tea for more is an experiment, an open air tea room on the pedestrian only street, Via Maddalene, in Torino. An ephemeral space for a group of women from the Alma Mater group where they can meet and discuss their various projects. Kawiak wants to offer them a place to relax, have a chat, stay together. After a series of meetings with these women, Kawiak focused on their experiences, aspirations and desires transforming the street into a place where one could drink some tea and try cakes from their own recipes and traditions, share them with neighbours and passers-by, inviting everyone to join in this open space, discovering one anothers' stories and fostering a sense of community.
Kawiak's wide ranging artistic production is hosted by WE, the new art space recently opened in the Regio Parco neighborhood. La Rumeur and Parking Orchestra are two examples of her video research, in which daily life is interwoven with the condition of migrants, presented together with Hope, a site specific installation hanging from the ceiling.
Hope is a 3 metres long and 1 metre high work made of 1000 jewellers' labels with red threads each measuring 7 cm where the most immediately visible - if not readable - result is the word HOPE. The viewers must raise their head in order to see it and thus demands a reaction, a change. Full of meaning and sensitivity, using irony to face important social and political issues, Kawiak's exhibition creates a deep relation with the viewer.
The exhibition is an event presented by the Associazione Culturale Passepartout, with the support of Piedmont Region and with the cooperation of WE Gallery and the Centro Interculturale delle Donne Alma Mater, Torino.

Winter truly arrived here in Canberra in July. While no where near as harsh at the winters back home, the temps and dry are can be uncomfortable. Here come the bullets…
- Attended the Embassy's 4th of July celebration on 2 July and visited with wonderful friends
- Doubled down on the walks and started racking up the step count
- Threw in some kettlebell and bodyweight work there at the end of the month
- Settled into a weekday of Mom + Bebe routine and switched Bebe's schedule
- Bebe's consistently waking once a night to eat with only the occasional night of two wakeups–primarily on days where naps were inconsistent or didn't happen
- Successfully had a couple of at home movie date nights
- Bebe received a clean bill of health at his two month vaccination appointment and took those shots like a champ
- Husband and I survived post-vaccination crankiness
- Bebe consistently started rolling from his tummy to his back and by the end of the month, discovered his hands

Increasingly, young tech talent wants to live and work in cities. As a result, the hottest tech companies, from Google to Twitter to Uber, are setting up shop in San Francisco, a long drive north of Silicon Valley, the traditional stronghold of the computer game. In the cutthroat world of tech recruiting, catering to the demands of the talent is everything, and even Apple isn't immune to the first rule of real estate: location, location, location. — wired.com
Funny. Why?
Apple offered 150k compensation yearly for software engineer working 60 hours per week with jerk managers.
Google offered 200k compensation yearly for software engineer working 40 hours per week with free lunch and dinner.
Twitter offered 300k compensation yearly for software engineer with great stock options to cash out million once IPO.

Scott Dixon qualifies 13th for Pocono race
UPDATED: Sat., Aug. 18, 2018
LONG POND, Pa. – Scott Dixon has been about flawless as he chases his fifth IndyCar championship.
He hit a minor bump at Pocono.
Days after signing a contract extension with Chip Ganassi Racing, Dixon had one of his worst qualifying performances of the season. He starts 13th on Sunday, well behind his closest championship contenders.
Dixon holds a 46-point lead over 2016 Indianapolis 500 champion Alexander Rossi in the standings. Rossi, Josef Newgarden and Will Power all have Dixon in sight with four races left in the IndyCar season.
"I need him to have a bad run and I need to have a good run," Power said.
Power will begin his bid for a third straight win at Pocono Raceway from the pole. He turned a lap of 219.511 mph on Saturday to take the top spot and perhaps bolster his shot for a second championship.
Power won his 53rd pole and tied A.J. Foyt for second on the career list.
Power and Newgarden made it a 1-2 start for team owner Roger Penske.
"One, two for Team Penske. You can't be mad about that," Newgarden said.
Rossi starts third for Sunday's 500-mile race.
Newgarden, the defending series champion, trails Dixon by 60 points in the standings. Power is 87 points back in fourth place.
Dixon isn't in any major trouble – though he's a bit more at risk early at getting collected in a wreck in front of him – and starting in the middle of the pack hasn't hindered him much this season. He started 17th and finished fourth at Phoenix and started 18th and finished second at the Grand Prix.
"The car bottomed out somewhat there in the first lap, so I'm not sure what happened," Dixon said. "It is what it is though and the car feels comfortable. It's a long race tomorrow and we'll have to deal with traffic and try and get to the front."
The New Zealand native has 44 victories, trailing only Foyt and Mario Andretti on the career wins list.
Here are other items of note from Pocono:
Pole position
Power said it was "cool" to match Foyt. Andretti leads the way with 67 career poles.
"It is possible to reach that," Power said.
Alo, it's me again
Two-time Formula One champion Fernando Alonso will leave the series at the end of the season, and a move to IndyCar remains on the table. Alonso finished 29th in his only IndyCar race in the 2017 Indianapolis 500. He'll likely test in a car before the end of the season.
"He has shown that he can be very competitive right off the bat, and it would be great for IndyCar if he were to decide to drive here full-time after his F1 career," said Art St. Cyr, president of Honda Performance Developments. "Having Alonso as a driver would be an obvious benefit for any team or manufacturer."
Power, the 2018 Indy 500 champion, said IndyCar would welcome Alonso.
"I think it would be great for the series," Power said. "It would be fantastic if he came. Everyone in the series is happy to see him come because it's good for the series. He has a huge following."
Alonso could have some championship company if he races at Indy in '19. Tony Stewart, the retired three-time NASCAR Cup champion, is considering a return to the Indianapolis 500 next year.
"Maybe Roger (Penske) will run one for him. That would be awesome for Tony Stewart to do it," Power said.
Power said IndyCar has never been better since he entered the series.
"It's full of good guys now," he said. "It's the best I've seen as far as driving talent and depth."
New addition
Santino Ferrucci will drive the final two races of the season for Dale Coyne Racing.
Welcome back
Pocono said IndyCar will return next season on a one-year renewal. The date has not been announced, though another August race seems likely.

Ms Jacqui Jones BA(Hons), MA
Programme Manager –Tourism & Hospitality / International Placement Tutor
Tel: +44 (0) 1792 481129
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Responsible for managing the range of Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sports Under Graduate Programme, and coordinating our exciting International Placements and Internship Opportunities, as well as lecturing on all years of all the pathways we offer!
I have perhaps a rather unique industry background which includes operational and management experience in Tourism, Hospitality and Events as well as Sport and Leisure. This vocational profile is vital when I am responsible for such a wide range of programmes across all these fields.
With a strong background in sport including competing and coaching experience, my industry career began as a teenager working in a range of positions within the local tourism industry! This included the early shift (so I could spend all day Sailing, Windsurfing and Water Ski-ing!) making toast and washing dishes in the kitchens of a hotel run by a renowned member of Wales Tourist Board! Amazingly this was responsible for triggering my passion for Tourism!
My Water Sports interests enabled me to train as an RYA Sailing Instructor a qualification which became my passport to the world! Initially I spent summers working at Rockley Watersports (now one of our placement employers!) and winters back at University, however I soon developed a love of travelling and deserted the cold seas of the UK for summers working in Greece and Turkey, and winters working in the French Alps Ski-ing or Windsurfing in the Canaries!
This was in the 1980's when the industry was developing and a number of my colleagues are now leading managers with many of the major Water Sports Tour Operators! The operational experiences I gained in this fast developing sector also allowed me to developed an ongoing interest in marketing and PR through regularly working at Boat Shows, as well as gaining some experience in photography and advertising whilst promoting the industry.
During my time working for the upmarket Tour Operator Greek Island's Club, on the tiny Island of Paxos in the Ionian, I gained my first management experience running the weekly guest transfers by local ferry boat from Corfu Airport. With a small team of staff and support from Greek agents, I was responsible for managing the arrival and departure experience of up to 150 guests, however with serious flight delays, local cultural issues when liaising with airlines, the airport and Greek Authorities, ….. lack of communications (dark ages before mobile phones!) and reliance on local transport operators this was a baptism of fire, but an experience I thrived on! Crisis management and the constant aim of exceeding guest expectations allowed us to introduce an innovative guest service strategy and began my ongoing focus on empowerment and guest services!
Eventually I gave into the pressure to come back to the UK and get a proper Graduate job! Working in recruitment and marketing I quickly gained management success however my heart was still firmly within Tourism and Sport……as a result I made the tough decision to resign from a successful management career, and work endless freelance hours in Corporate Hospitality at a range of sporting events in order to pay my mortgage and enable me to go back to University to study for an MA in Sport and Leisure Management.
During this time I gained Consultancy experience working as a Project Manager on a number of DTI Marketing Initiatives and Market Research Initiatives with a range of Leisure and Tourism Organisations in Wales, as well as working on Sports based Sales and Marketing Strategies including WRU events and the launch of the Vale of Glamorgan Resort.
As a result of this I was able to set up my own marketing and events consultancy and gain experience across the industry before starting lecturing at Swansea in 1992. Since then my consultancy experience and International industry contacts and commitment to the placement programme have allowed me to continue to develop my professional management expertise.
- District Commissioner Pony Club
- Area Secretary Pony Club South West Wales
- Member of Olympic SIG and regularly involved in Podium Events
- Member of ASET Placement Consultancy Groups
- ABTA Education Consultancy Group
- Speedo Water Fitness Instructor
- Previously trained as RYA Dinghy Sailing Instructor and Race Trainer, and CSLA Sports Leader Tutor
- Iron Man Wales Team since it's inception in 2011 working as a volunteer steward at the event!
My personal subject specialisms focus on employability skills and internships, organising a range of exciting international field trip in order to bring the students learning alive as well as teaching Strategic Guest Services, Sports Events Tourism and Leisure Attraction Management.
I have over 20 years lecturing experience including working on Foundation Degree and HND, to Degree and Masters and MBA programmes including Dissertation Supervision and Consultancy Projects from a range of Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sports topics.
As Programme Manager for all undergraduate Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sports programmes at UWTSD Swansea's Metropolitan University I am currently responsible for the revalidation of these pathways and I take a particular interest in our graduate success stories!
Specific Module Responsibilities include
- Introduction to Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sport
- Applied Internship and International Placements
- Sustainable Employability and Empowerment Skills
- Global Contemporary Issues in Leisure (Field Trips)
- Sports Events Management
- Leisure Attraction Management
I am actively involved in research into the global employability agenda within the International Tourism, and Hospitality Industries specifically focusing on developing distinctive global graduates with cutting edge guest service skills to become the industry leaders and managers of the future.
Current research includes working with a number of Leisure, Tourism, Events and Sports students and graduates developing a video diary of the student journey from Fresher, to Placement Student and Intern, to Graduate, Supervisor, Manager and Director with some of the leading organisations within the Leisure sector in the UK and Overseas.
With a strong industry background, my expertise firmly focuses on developing our student's employability and empowerment skills with the aim of preparing them for highly successful future management careers within the Leisure, Tourism, Events, Hospitality or Sport and Leisure Sectors.
My aim is always to use my industry skills reinforced with field study trips to bring the learning alive for our students. By taking the learning outside the class room to real life case studies and venues this reinforces and underpins the vital theoretical learning. I therefore where ever possible and practical use field trips to provide the vital case study examples and behind the scenes experience. Not surprisingly the Olympics has become a key area of focus which has allowed me over the past 8 years to use regular visits to venues as a student learning experience and resource to develop their industry understanding and professional skills.
Over the past 20 years I have been responsible for developing a range of exciting industry links with key organisations who specialise in providing innovative Placement and Internship experiences aimed specifically at our students. This includes developing the University's unrivalled Internship links within Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sport which are the envy of many other Universities across the UK.
I have developed an expertise for developing niche placement programmes which are constantly changing to meet the current student's needs and aspirations but have included Disney, Aspen Ski Company, The Legendary Little Nell Hotel in Aspen, Jumeirah Resorts in Dubai and Rancho Valencia in San Diego to name but a few!
During the early 2000's I was responsible for driving forward the empowerment agenda which is central to the International Hospitality sector by developing a close working relationship with Ritz Carlton Resorts. The organisations philosophies are firmly based on empowering their operational staff to deliver the highest level of personal guest service skills to meet the individual guest needs. This has become an ideology that I have bought into with a great passion, and I have successfully used to develop and enhance the skills of our students.
My expertise (and my colleagues) is probably best demonstrated by the success stories of our graduates which include….Leading International Events Managers, Resort Managers, Hotel Directors, a Cruise Ship HR Director, a Theme Park Director, a Food and Beverage Director, a Spa Director, Sports Development Managers, Regional Sports Directors and highly successful Entrepreneurs and the list goes on…….
During my time as a lecturer at Swansea I have remained active within the Industry as I feel having current up to date experience helps significantly in preparing our students for future management careers. I have therefore continued to develop my industry links to create a range of exciting global experiences for students and graduates which has been the result of developing close working relationships with a number of leading International Organisations through a range of collaborative recruitment and training initiatives. With a fast moving industry this is of course an ongoing activity!
Furthermore industry links have been progressed through designing exciting field trip opportunities which provide students with a behind the scenes industry experience as well as the opportunity to travel to world wide Tourism and Sports destinations. This has led to close collaborative links with the travel industry and visa agents which are important for our students and often provide new Internships.
From 2005-2007 I became UK Director of Challenger Sports, the world's leading total soccer organisation. I was responsible for recruiting and training up to 1,000 football coaches to work in Summer Camps across the USA, including working closely with Challenger head office in Kansas City, visa agents, US embassy and tour operators to organise their placements. This provided me with vital industry knowledge and experience whilst the professional links I developed are still key for our sports programme and provide our students with summer coaching opportunities in the USA.
During 2007-2009 I gained up to date industry experience working as Training and Guest Services Manager and a Consultant at Bluestone National Park Resort. This involved taking full responsibility for developing and managing the Training and Guest Service Strategies for this £71m tourism and leisure development in Pembrokeshire as well as securing grant funding for training initiatives.
During 2009-2011 I was involved in a range of Hospitality, Guest Service and Events Consultancy projects for Slebech Park a bespoke luxury convention estate and I continue to be involved with the industry both in the UK and overseas. Most recently I have been involved operationally volunteering as a Supervising Steward at the Iron Man Wales Event since it's launch in 2011.
I am still involved in Sport, for instance as District Commissioner for Pony Club I am actively responsible for training young riders, organising major events, developing the Young Equestrian Leaders Award in Wales, grant applications, organising major area competitions and promoting equine sports. This includes being contacted by the national press for comments on the success of the Olympic legacy upon grass roots sports such as Tetrathlon and other research topics!
Due to my involvement in Programme Management and developing the placement programme my publications have been limited however I have published a number of articles with HEA recently focusing on developing graduate skills for employment and in employment with a strong emphasis on my interest in guest services and empowerment.
This is an area I hope to develop further in the future given the time!!!!!
I have presented at a number of work based learning and employability conferences organised by ASET and ATHE including an International Conference at St Anne's College, Oxford as well as presenting at the London International Boat Show at Excel in 2013.
During February 2014 I am presenting and running a number of workshops at The Springboard Wales FE Travel and Tourism Conference at Parc Y Scarlets which I hope will give me the chance to meet in advance many of our future students!
In April I am due to present a research paper and poster on utilising empowerment and cutting edge guest service skills to create distinctive global graduates at the HEA Wales Graduates for the Future conference.
Over the years I have organised numerous Placement and Industry events for our students and welcome many international organisations to Swansea to recruit students. In addition to this through my links with Podium I have also enabled many of students to have the opportunity to attend international conference and research events in order to further develop their knowledge and understanding.

Paving the way globally in microbial efficacy, we have the most comprehensive portfolio of efficacy testing in ultrasound probe
high level disinfection.
We go further…
Nanosonics has conducted extensive testing to validate the effectiveness of trophon against a wide variety of microorganisms. The trophon family includes the trophon® EPR and trophon®2 devices, which share the same core technology of sonically-activated hydrogen peroxide.
Patient safety and reducing the risk of infection spread is paramount to us and drives our clinical research and testing.
Going far beyond the minimum regulatory requirements, we prioritise having the broadest possible microbial efficacy program. This absolute dedication to going further really sets us apart and ensures we exceed standards in high level disinfection.
trophon is a pioneer globally in microbial efficacy, the first high level disinfection system in the world proven to kill native, infectious, high-risk HPV.1
- trophon inactivates the mandated subset of microorganisms, as required by European Standards.
- trophon is proven to also eliminate an extended range of clinically infectious pathogens including:*
– Pathogens causing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
– Clostridium difficile spores
– Drug resistant bacteria
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) testing
Ultrasound probes frequently contact body sites where STIs can occur. trophon is proven to completely inactivate a range of STI causing pathogens.*
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an incurable disease that affects the immune system, impairing its ability to fight disease.
More than 100,000 people in the UK are estimated to have HIV, with 6,095 new HIV diagnoses and 613 HIV-related deaths reported in 2015. 4, 5
trophon has been shown to inactivate HIV in laboratory tests.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B (HBV) infection attacks the liver and can be transmitted through body fluids (e.g. during sexual contact).
Hepatitis B
About 11,708 confirmed hepatitis B cases were reported in England and Wales in 2015, of which 83% were chronic cases.6
trophon is effective against hepatitis B on ultrasound probes.
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a blood borne virus that can cause chronic infection and liver diseases like liver cancer.
Hepatitis C
it is estimated that more than 15 million people in Europe and approximately 214,000 people in the UK have chronic hepatitis C infection.7
trophon is effective against hepatitis C on ultrasound probes.
HPV is one of the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infections and can cause cancer in both sexes.1,2
Causes 99.7% of cervical cancer cases, 88% of anal cancers, 70% of vaginal cancer cases and 50% of penile cancers. 2,8
Genital warts (caused by HPV infection) is the second most common STI in England.9
trophon is effective against HPV on ultrasound probes.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK3 and can result in infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
Chlamydia trachomatis
Chlamydia infections accounted for 46% of all STIs in 2015, with the highest incidence in young people aged 15-24.3
trophon is effective against Chlamydia trachomatis.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a sexually transmitted disease that infects both women and men and, if left untreated, can lead to infertility.
Gonorrhea diagnoses in England decreased between 2015 and 2016 (after a 175% increase from 2008-2015), however sustained transmission is of concern with the recent emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.10
trophon is effective against gonorrhoea on ultrasound probes.
Candida albicans can cause fungal infection in the throat and vagina as well as cause bloodstream infections resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality.
Candida spp. accounted for 5.5% of ICU-acquired pneumonia and 8.6% of ICU-acquired bloodstream infections in the UK in 2012.11
trophon is effective against Candida on ultrasound probes.

Bacterial spores testing
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to disinfectants. In addition to achieving high level disinfection, trophon is effective against bacterial endospores in accordance with European Standards. trophon is effective against Clostridium difficile spores which contribute significantly to the Hospital Acquired Infection burden and cause severe diarrhoea in infected individuals.
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to disinfectants. High level disinfectants are only required to be sporidical at extended contact times.
Spores like Clostridium difficile can cause severe diarrhoea and is a leading contributor to the Hospital Acquired Infection burden in our healthcare systems.
Clostridium difficile is a common Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) characterised by severe diarrhoea. It is a leading contributor to the HAI burden in our healthcare systems.
In the UK there were 12,985 reports of C. difficile in 2014, with the majority of cases (74.1%) occurring in age groups 65 years and over.1
Drug resistant bacteria testing
Drug resistant bacteria outbreaks in healthcare facilities are a real threat and antibiotics are ineffective against these strains. trophon inactivates these drug resistant bacteria.*
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is antibiotic resistant and a common cause of many HAIs.
Infection with MRSA can cause skin infections and can lead to more severe diseases including sepsis, pneumonia and bloodstream infections. trophon is effective against MRSA.
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) have resistance to one of the last resort antibiotics available.1
Enterococci reside in the gut and symptoms can be severe. Infection can occur from contaminated healthcare settings. trophon is effective against VRE.
Infection with Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) can cause severe morbidity and death.
A wave of CRE outbreaks were associated with duodenoscopes in the USA and EU between 2013 and 2015 resulted in hundreds of patient deaths.2,3 trophon is effective against CRE.

* Nanosonics internal test data.
European Standard Testing Requirements
trophon is shown to inactivate all the mandated microorganisms with its seven-minute cycle time when tested according to European Standards. trophon exceeds the minimum requirements for high level disinfection.
Viruses (unlike bacteria) require a host for replication. HLD should inactivate enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
Viruses can survive in the environment or on surfaces for periods of time. They can be transmitted via air, droplets, body fluids and contact with surfaces.
Mycobacteria can cause serious diseases like tuberculosis. HLD should eliminate mycobacteria within contact time.
Mycobacteria have a tough cell wall and are highly resistant to disinfectants.
Fungi and yeast are opportunistic pathogens. High level disinfection should be effective against fungi.
Fungi and yeast can be highly resistant to disinfection. They can take advantage of a change in a patient's health (e.g. immunocompromised status).
Vegetative bacteria such as E. Coli cause a wide variety of infectious diseases in healthcare and in the community.
As per European Standards, all high level disinfectants should demonstrate activity against vegetative bacteria for bactericidal efficacy.

Same goes for your brain and weed. Hit it a few times with mild weed and nothing else, nothing much happens. Use concentrates, waxes, oils etc.. well its faster. Use meth/bath salts and other harder substances, you dont even have to wait to lose your mind.
now every tree is different and so is every person's brain. everything matters, right from the axe/chain saw to the environment, genes and age of the tree.
P.S. I definitely, out of experience, feel the strain we smoke also matters, i have no could evidence to back this up but if different strains can give you different highs then different strains can be the cause of PAWS and not all of them. again i do not have enough information to confirm this but its an idea derived out of experience.tokeless wrote:Have we opened pandora's box?

looks like we did, the effect of PAWS and the average length of weed induced PAWS is increasing. When i first joined this forum i went back to years of posts and saw that 8 months to 1 year seemed the average and only a rare few lasted upto 2 years and only one user was till 2.7 years. now? 1.5 years seems to be the average to be just out the woods. selective breeding is definitely effecting the weed we get, growers everywhere are growing their more potent (not necessarily better quality) but just more THC potent weed everywhere! legal or illegal. add that to the growing vitamin and mineral deficiency in us and our food, lesser active lifestyle and social interaction. BOOM! YOU GOT PAWS!

I was a stoner for years and only smoked herb, I had no trouble quitting or even having withdrawals from it. I quit for months after smoking herb for several years and really didnt have an issue. Now that I have quit concentrates after having crazy high tolerance to it, I dealt with acute withdrawals (pretty severe almost to the point of going to the ER) and now I am dealing with PAWS.

VOTD: Jim Henson's Recently Discovered 1963 Short Film 'Robot'
Posted on Thursday, April 5th, 2012 by Peter Sciretta
Jim Henson's short film Robot was recently discovered in the AT&T Archives. In 1963, a then-27-year-old Henson was commissioned to create the film for a Bell System seminar for business owners on the then-brand-new topic of Data Communications. According to AT&T:
The seminar itself involved a lot of films and multimedia presentations, and took place in Chicago. … The organizers of the seminar, Inpro, actually set the tone for the film in a three-page memo from one of Inpro's principals, Ted Mills to Henson. Mills outlined the nascent, but growing relationship between man and machine: a relationship not without tension and resentment: "He [the robot] is sure that All Men Basically Want to Play Golf, and not run businesses — if he can do it better." (Mills also later designed the ride for the Bell System at the 1964 World's Fair.) Henson's execution is not only true to Mills' vision, but he also puts his own unique, irreverent spin on the material. The robot narrator used in this film had previously starred in a skit for a food fair in Germany, in 1961. It also may be the same robot that appeared on the Mike Douglas Show in 1966. Henson created a different — but similar — robot for the SKF Industries pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair.

With Their New Face On 2LP
(Plus bonus tracks and mono single mixes).
Double LP set presented in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner bags
Comprising the stereo mix of 'With Their New Face On' and 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush', as well as bonus tracks and mono single mixes.
Back in 1967, it was all-change in the Spencer Davis Group camp. Brothers Steve and Muff Winwood had left for pastures new (namely, Traffic). Undeterred, Spencer and drummer Phil York recruited youthful yet very soulful singer Eddie Hardin (fresh from Mod hopefuls A Wild Uncertainty) and dapper guitarist Phil Sawyer. Seeing out their Fontana period with the Top 40 psych-pop nugget 'Time Seller' before ushering in a new era with United Artists.
In due course, the new-look SDG issued a string of memorable 45s – the soulful 'Mr. Second Class', the beguiling 'After Tea' and the Mod-tastic 'Short Change', as well as a German-only single '(Aquarius) der Wassermann' – as well as contributing several exclusive tracks to the soundtrack to Swinging London movie 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush'. Meanwhile, guitarist Sawyer was replaced by Ray Fenwick.
In spring 1968, the band finally unveiled their acclaimed fourth album, suitably entitled 'With Their New Face On'. Musically, the LP ran the gamut of popular styles, from Mod pop to blues rock, psychedelia and beyond. It was to be the only album to properly capture this line-up of the band.
RPM Records are now proud to offer an exclusive chance to own a double vinyl reissue of 'With Their New Face On' (the stereo mix), with added tracks from the 'Mulberry Bush' soundtrack as well as bonus tracks and mono single mixes.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve which replicates and expands on the original UK artwork, this really is a must-have item for any discerning collector of cool late 60s music. The packaging includes an edited version of Andy Neill's sleeve-notes (from last year's 3-CD set, 'Taking Out Time').

June 15, 2013 by Jennifer Simmons
BENTON, Ky. - It took three days, thirteen rods, at least five different kinds of lures, and countless miles and gallons of gas for Curt McGuire to claim the EverStart Series Central Division title on Kentucky Lake, and he claimed it in decisive fashion, leading the event wire to wire before closing the deal today with a 7-pound, 6-ounce margin of victory.
McGuire's domination of this event began Thursday, when he busted a 25-pound, 2-ounce sack to lead the field. He followed that up with another 22-pound, 6-ounce haul on day two, and he slammed the door on the competition today with yet another limit, this one clocking in at 22 pounds, 11 ounces. That brought his three-day weight to an eye-popping 70 pounds, 3 ounces, earning him $40,300 in cash plus a fully rigged Ranger Z518 for being Ranger Cup qualified.
McGuire and runner-up David Gnewikow maintained their No. 1 and No. 2 positions all week, with Gnewikow coming as close as an ounce on the first day. Ultimately, neither Gnewikow nor anyone else could touch McGuire and his hot spots located near his hometown of Paris, Tenn.
It wasn't just one bait, one presentation or one spot that led McGuire to his second EverStart Series victory here, but numerous schools of fish, each in different depths and each requiring different methods. He made the long run south to Tennessee again today, though he mainly stayed around Paris.
He saved himself three spots for the final day, two of which he described as not as good as the third. However, by the time he pulled up on the third, he already had 18 pounds in the livewell.
"I've never seen anybody fish them," he said. "I was north of Paris, in Paris, and south of Paris. I ran down to the spot where I caught them the first day, but I didn't catch anything. So I went south of Paris and caught 18, then went back to Paris."
In the meantime, his co-angler Steve Ralls of Buncombe, Ill., loaded up the livewell, and he went on to win the Co-angler Division. In fact, all of his co-anglers this tournament made the cut.
As for his spots, change was key.
"Each one was different," he said. "I had to fish different baits, and I had to fish them in a different way."
On stage, he mentioned using 13 rods that he rigged at one time or another with spoons, crankbaits, worms, Carolina rigs and jigs. The shallowest water he fished was 5 feet, and he fished in other places as deep as 26 feet. The difference was finding schools populated by fat ones.
"There are more 2 1/2- to 3-pounders in this lake than I've ever seen by far," he said. "It's the best lake in the country for catching those - anybody can catch 100. I probably caught 40 to 50 over 3 pounds the last three days."
Though his local knowledge is extensive and significant - he is an experienced Kentucky Lake guide - luck was on his side this week.
"I was fortunate to find stuff nobody else found," he said.
Gnewikow overcomes misfortune to hang on to second
On the leaderboard, things didn't change at all for David Gnewikow, as he remained in the second-place spot he held on days one and two. But in reality, things changed dramatically for the Mount Juliet, Tenn., pro.
About 45 or 50 miles into his long run to Tennessee, Gnewikow blew his powerhead. It would enough to derail any competitor, but Gnewikow had a secret weapon - he picked up the phone and dialed Kevin Woodside and Matt Nix, two men who know the true meaning of friendship.
Woodside and Nix were waiting for takeoff at another tournament - entry fees paid and ready to go. Eerily, they had already discussed what they would do if their pal Gnewikow ran into boat trouble. So when they got the call, they didn't have to think about it - they left their tournament before it started and brought their friend a boat.
"I've got awesome friends," Gnewikow said.
Gnewikow loaded into the new boat and took off at breakneck speed back to the launch area, where he had to check in all over again with the new rig. He turned around and raced back to Tennessee, ultimately collecting a limit worth 18 pounds, 10 ounces, bringing his three-day total to 62 pounds, 13 ounces.
Gnewikow earned $15,000 for his second-place finish, a pretty penny no matter what but particularly rich when you consider the events of the day, plus the fact that he did not enter this week's tournament until the day before it started.
"I wasn't in the tournament until Wednesday, and I didn't practice," he said. "I've had three tournament wins (on Kentucky Lake) in the last month. I fished Tuesday and caught 23 pounds - and stayed off my good stuff."
It was then that Gnewikow decided to heed the suggestion of friends and sign up to fish the EverStart.
"Considering the day I've had, I'm pretty happy with what I got," he said. "I woke up at 2 o'clock this morning. For some reason, God gave me Proverbs 3:5 ("Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"). As soon as that engine (blew), it popped back in my head. It was hard to stay cool today, but somehow I held it together."
Gnewikow caught 25-1 on day one to sit behind McGuire by only an ounce. On day two, he caught another 19 pounds, 2 ounces, and he said he caught his fish this week on a Strike King 6XD and a big worm.
"I was fishing shallower than a lot of these guys," he said. "I've had a place to myself for several years. I knew if I fished this tournament, I'd probably ruin it."
Indeed, Gnewikow reported yesterday seeing spectators watching him catch and cull on this spot. He drove down there this morning expecting it to be full of competitors from a tournament coming out of New Johnsonville, but to his amazement, the spot was still his, thanks to the generosity of these fellow fishermen.
"They asked me, `Are you David Gnewikow? We're leaving,'" he said.
Even with all the suggestions, predictions, nighttime awakenings and selfless friends, Gnewikow still doesn't feel the tournament was fated to be his.
"Even if everything had gone as it was supposed to, I still wouldn't have won," he said. "I would have needed 8 more pounds."
Rose clinches third
Having stayed in the top 10 all week, Walmart pro Mark Rose of West Memphis, Ark., ultimately finished in third place with a three-day haul of 62 pounds, 7 ounces. He had his best day of the tournament today, weighing in a limit worth 23 pounds, 14 ounces that outclassed his previous catches of 18-14 and 19-11.
"I've been waiting on a tournament like this all year," he said. "I don't even want to call out a number (of fish) - I'd pull up to one spot and catch 40 to 50. It's crazy."
Rose saw his fortunes change for the better when his jig bite turned on yesterday. Prior to that, he'd been catching them on about everything - "even the kitchen sink," he said. "Yesterday they got off the fast-moving stuff and were holding tight to the bottom," he said.
So he tied on a Strike King ¾-ounce football jig tipped with a Strike King Rage Craw, both in green pumpkin, and went to town. Both were rigged on a 7-foot Kistler heavy rod with 15-pound Seaguar line on a Lew's Tournament Pro reel.
"That was the football jig setup," he said.
His fish swam a little deeper for him today, prompting a switch to a Strike King 10XD on a 7-foot, 11-inch Kistler Mark Rose Offshore 10XD Rod with 15-pound Seaguar line. He used that in 23 feet of water from the launch point at Kenlake State Resort Park to the dam. That's a change from most of the leaders, the majority of whom were running to Tennessee.
"I spent my time fishing," he said.
Snider, Morrow round out top five
In fourth is Kevin Snider of Elizabethtown, Ky., with 60 pounds, 1 ounce over three days. Like Rose, he had his best day of the tournament today, bringing in a limit worth 21 pounds, 10 ounces.
"I went south today," he said. "We did a lot of running. I found probably 30 schools."
He caught his bass this week on a homemade swimbait and earned $9,000 for his fourth-place finish.
In fifth is Sam Morrow of Smyrna, Tenn., with a three-day haul of 59 pounds, 13 ounces that earned him an $8,000 check. He caught his big bass on a 6-inch PowerBait Mullet in green and natural as well as a Zoom Magnum Trick Worm on a custom-made shaky head.
Rest of the best
Rounding out the top 10 pros on Kentucky Lake:
6th: Clent Davis of Montevallo, Ala., 15 bass, 59-3, $7,000
7th: Randy Haynes of Counce, Tenn., 15 bass, 58-1, $6,000
8th: Jason Lambert of Pickwick Dam, Tenn., 15 bass, 56-6, $5,300
9th: Ray Barga of Benton, Ky., 15 bass, 47-8, $4,000
10th: Mickey Beck of Lebanon, Tenn., 13 bass, 43-10, $3,000
The EverStart Series Central Division's final event will take place on the Detroit River in Trenton, Mich., July 25-27.

Google has made a virtual keyboard available in its search function, allowing web users with English keyboards to search for phrases and keywords in non-English languages.
"A virtual, or 'on-screen' keyboard, lets you type directly in your local language script in an easy and consistent manner, no matter where you are or what computer you're using," Google said in a blog.
Last year, the search engine introduced a virtual keyboard API through code.google.com, which allowed developers to enable virtual keyboards on any text field on their web pages.
"Today, we are taking this effort one step further by integrating virtual keyboards into Google search in 35 languages," said Manish Bhargava, product manager for Google.
The virtual keyboard icon can be seen by those using Google Search in any of the 25 languages supported by the virtual keyboard, including Greek and Arabic.
Simply click the icon to display the virtual keyboard and then input text by either selecting the key on-screen or pressing the corresponding key on your own keyboard.

f Hyponatremia in Severe Malaria: Evidence for an Appropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone Response to Hypovolemia
Although hyponatremia occurs in most patients with severe malaria, its pathogenesis, prognostic significance, and optimal management have not been established. Clinical and biochemical data were prospectively collected from 171 consecutive Bangladeshi adults with severe malaria. On admission, 57% of patients were hyponatremic. Plasma sodium and Glasgow Coma Score were inversely related (r s = −0.36, P < 0.0001). Plasma antidiuretic hormone concentrations were similar in hyponatremic and normonatremic patients (median, range: 6.1, 2.3–85.3 versus 32.7, 3.0–56.4 pmol/L; P = 0.19). Mortality was lower in hyponatremic than normonatremic patients (31.6% versus 51.4%; odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.44 [0.23–0.82]; P = 0.01 by univariate analysis). Plasma sodium normalized with crystalloid rehydration from (median, range) 127 (123–140) mmol/L on admission to 136 (128–149) mmol/L at 24 hours (P = 0.01). Hyponatremia in adults with severe malaria is common and associated with preserved consciousness and decreased mortality. It likely reflects continued oral hypotonic fluid intake in the setting of hypovolemia and requires no therapy beyond rehydration.
