The mission of Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi concerning choosing candidates for ministers of interior and defense before the Parliament's vote session has become more complicated amid the growing conflict between the parties that won in the recent elections.
At the end of October, parliament voted on 14 ministers from the new government of Abdul Mahdi, while the vote on eight ministries, including defense, interior, culture, education, justice, planning, higher education and immigration, was postponed because of political disputes over the candidates.
This dilemma can be solved
For his part, Fatah Alliance MP Amer al-Fayez said there is information indicating that Abdul Mahdi will submit to the parliament the names of candidates for the remaining ministries in his cabinet for vote. The MP added the political blocs do not know so far who those candidates are.
Fayez said that Abdul Mahdi and the political forces have engaged in many dialogues and negotiations on the vacant ministries and reached advanced positive results. However, the conflict on the posts of the ministers of defense and interior remains the main obstacle.
Fayez noted that Abdul Mahdi has the ability to resolve this dilemma by introducing candidates who he himself believes to be suitable, adding that the political forces will support any option Abdul Mahdi chooses.
Political forces blamed for delay
For his part, Ali al-Sajri, a National Axis Alliance figure, said that the main obstacle to the completion of Abdul Mahdi's government is represented in the dispute and political conflict on the ministries of defense and interior, adding that Abdul Mahdi is waiting for political consensus to come to parliament before submitting the names for ministers to a vote.
According to some media reports, there is a disagreement between the Saairun and Bina (Building) blocs over candidate for interior minister Faleh al-Fayyad, who the prime minister was unable to pass after the objection of Muqtada al-Sadr.

What the heck is in EPA's water?
Something bad is in the water the EPA staff are drinking in DC. It is making them nuts.
EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency, a place I once worked, a job once fraught with much philosophical disagreement) has proposed new regulations on air and water that basically put the agency in charge of every breath you take and every glass of water you drink. It is an unconstitutional power grab by regulation that flies in the face of existing law.
EPA now asserts control of every body of water in the country, and that includes farm ponds, man-made drainage ditches along your hunting camp road, little intermittent rivulets that run for a few days in the spring and winter and then sink into the ground all other times, etc. It is a remarkable effort to control, control, and control Americans. The stories now emanating from citizens clashing over this rule change with heavy-handed EPA staff are extraordinary. What amazes everyone with a bit of knowledge of these issues is how little the new rules do to actually protect water quality. In fact, they create incentives for private landowners to take matters into their own hands, before some bureaucrat shows up for a show down over an issue totally, completely outside the purview of federal government.
Of course, promoting centralized decision making and big government is what this is all about, not environmental quality.
Second issue: EPA's new air regulations, basically putting a heavy damper on wood burning stoves. Yes, it is true that EPA is trying to shut down America's best source of sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, natural, native, cheap heat – firewood. And firewood-burning stoves.
If you look at the new standards for wood burning stoves, the particulate emissions restrictions on new stoves are technically impossible to meet, and old stoves that are in stock are not grandfathered in; stove manufacturers might go out of business because they cannot sell off their existing wood stoves.
But like the water regulations, this is not about public health or air quality. Rather, these new rules are about undermining those citizens who are most self-reliant, least dependent upon others, most off-the-grid. You know, rural conservatives.
Even more than when I worked there, EPA has become a tool for inflicting harm on Americans, for advancing anti-American policies. It is time to put this rabid animal out of its misery, and start over with a new agency that is devoid of the cultural residue that allows this sort of behavior to happen in the first place. The role of government is to serve its citizens, not dominate them.

Getting Started With morgan: the Node.js Logger Middleware
While this tutorial has content that we believe is of great benefit to our community, we have not yet tested or edited it to ensure you have an error-free learning experience. It's on our list, and we're working on it! You can help us out by using the "report an issue" button at the bottom of the tutorial.
morgan is a great logging tool that anyone who works with HTTP servers in Node.js should learn to use. morgan is a middleware that allows us to easily log requests, errors, and more to the console. It's easy to use, but still powerful and customizable.
Getting Set Up
We need to add
morgan to our project's dependencies. We'll be using
npm, but feel free to use Yarn. This assumes you've already initialized an npm project in your working directory.
$ npm install morgan --save
Now that we've added
morgan to our project, let's require it.
const morgan = require('morgan');
For simplicity's sake, our example is going to use an Express server, but
morgan also works with the built-in Node.js
http module.
const express = require('express');
const morgan = require('morgan');
const app = express();
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.debug('App listening on :3000');
Great, our Express server is setup, now let's add some request logging!
Predefined format strings
morgan comes with a suite of presets, which are plug-and-play. To use these, we do this:
morgan('tiny') In this case,
tiny is the name of the predefined format string that we're using.
Using morgan with Express
Since morgan is a middleware, using it with something like Express is really easy. All we have to do is this:
const app = express();
app.use(morgan(/* format string here */));
Format Strings
The template strings that morgan uses are called format strings. A format string might look something like this.
:method :url :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms
Tokens are the keywords following the
:'s. Tokens are defined as functions. We'll look at making custom tokens next.
Creating Our Own Tokens
One of the great things morgan allows us to do is make our own tokens. It's incredibly useful, versatile and easy to do. All we have to do is call
morgan.token(name, function).
The first argument we pass-in is the name of the token. If I do
morgan.token('my-token', ...);, for example, I would call that token using
The second argument is a callback function. morgan will run this each time it logs something using the token. morgan will pass two parameters to the function:
req and
res. Let's create a token that displays the domain that the request was sent through.
morgan.token('host', function(req, res) {
return req.hostname;
Using our custom tokens
Using the token we just made is easy. Just call the token like we would any other token.
morgan(':method :host :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms'); // This is a modified version of morgan's tiny predefined format string.
Creating Custom Tokens with Custom Arguments
You've probably noticed that brackets (
[ ]) have showed up a few times in our format strings following tokens. Square brackets denote arguments to be passed to a token. We can make our tokens accepts additional arguments. Let's create a token that grabs one of the parameters from the request.
morgan.token('param', function(req, res, param) {
return req.params[param];
And to use it:
morgan(':method :host :status :param[id] :res[content-length] - :response-time ms');
Using morgan with the Built-In http Module
Using morgan with the Node.js built-in
http module is easy as well. Here's an example from the morgan docs.
We're done, yay! That's all we're going to cover in this article, but I recommend you checkout the morgan documentation. Stay tuned, we might have more morgan articles coming soon too! Thanks for reading!

Purchasing a pre-construction condo carries a plethora of benefits, regardless of whether it's an existing tower, or a new one. As we speak, condominium prices are generally more affordable than traditional townhouses, while also being maintenance-free, with a number of beautiful on-site amenities.
"Generally speaking, the positives of condo living certainly outweigh the negatives. But what many don't know is that purchasing a new condo has a number of additional benefits that can't be overlooked as well, such as the opportunity to create your own space, equipped with all of the finishes, vanities, and decorations you desire."
We understand the added sense of luxury acquired once you reside in a condominium, but we find it imperative that you know some important facts before purchasing a pre-construction condo, along with the predictions of how real estate will stand in the future.
The Initial Cost Up Front Standard home or condo mortgage purchases only require a 5% down payment, and to avoid paying mortgage default insurance, it is encouraged to increase that down payment to 20%. When an individual looks to purchase a pre-construction unit, it is standard practice that you put down a minimum 15-20 percent of the unit's purchase price.
Thankfully, that price is not required in one lump sum, but can be made in instalments until the closing date, starting at 5%. Expect Delays First rule: Don't be surprised when delays occur. The goal of a realtor is to ensure that everything is completed on the initial closing date, but due to an assortment of unprecedented factors, that may not always be the case. Try not to be disheartened when the closing date is pushed back. Have a plan set in place just in case the development cannot be completed on the original date.
Although the building may not be completed, there is still a chance that you may be able to move in, but if that occurs, the builder will still be on the title of your property, and your mortgage payments will be registered as rental payments as a result. Locking in at current mortgage rates is possible if you desire to buy a pre-construction condo that won't be completed for a number of years, you have the capability to purchase it at a good interest rate, not having to wait until the interest rates of the time of the completion date. If you find that you qualify for a mortgage today, and you are satisfied with the interest rate provided, you may be able to lock into the current interest rate.
Cancellation is a Possibility The truth is, not every condo development comes to fruition, and this can be for a number of reasons. But don't fret, because government organizations such as Tarion are put in place to help guard individuals desiring to buy new homes.
With safeguards set up such as deposit warranty, and numerous reimbursement options, Tarion ensures that buyers are properly protected. It is imperative that as a home buyer, you are working with an experience real estate agent who can give you detailed information on any and all potential drawbacks that can occur when purchasing a pre-construction condo.

West Side Massacre
West Side Massacre
Oh, yeah…two Salvatore boys with those pistols killed a buncha Bishop's men, then shot down some of Mordino's boys who'd been tryin' to muscle in on the West Side. Since then, the other families steered clear of the Salvatores."— Jules, Fallout 2
The West Side Massacre was a major event in New Reno, when the Salvatores brutally asserted their presence with laser pistols in early 2241. Two of Salvatore's men eliminated a group of rival thugs belonging to the Bishops and Mordinos, the latter of which tried to encroach on their territory in the West Side.[1] The laser pistols they used gave them an extreme firepower advantage over their opponents, resulting in a shock and wave attack.[2]
The shock of losing men to superior armaments (obtained by the Salvatores in a secret deal with the Enclave) resulted in the families giving their territory and possessions a wide berth. An uneasy peace followed,[1] though Mordinos plotted how to get back at the Salvatores for the humiliation suffered.[3]
The West Side Massacre is mentioned only in Fallout 2.
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The Chosen One: "{737}{}{Did they always have these pistols?}"
Jules: "{750}{}{They didn't always have 'em…else they'd be in charge o' New Reno…ALL of New Reno. As it stands, they're just building up quietly. Those pistols showed up…maybe a few months back, 'round the time o' the massacre.}"
The Chosen One: "{751}{}{Massacre?}"
Jules: "{765}{}{Oh, yeah…two Salvatore boys with those pistols killed a buncha Bishop's men, then shot down some of Mordino's boys who'd been tryin' to muscle in on the West Side. Since then, the other families steered clear of the Salvatores.}"
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{576}{}{You were talking about family Salvatore.}"
Tully: "{800}{}{I wuz talking 'bout the Salvatores? (Blinks, shrugs, then drinks.) Can't imagine what I was saying. Family's as silent as death. An' you don't wanna cross 'em, either…know why?}"
The Chosen One: "{803}{}{Don't really need to know why right now, Father. Can I ask you some other questions?}"
Tully: "{810}{}{(Lumbers on drunkenly.) Cuz they got weapons like fires from heaven, weapons no one's ever SEEN before in New Reno or nowhere. Shoot beams of light, cut a man in two, leave him twitching in the dust.}"
The Chosen One: "{812}{}{Shoot beams of light? You mean laser weapons?}"
Tully: "{820}{}{Thaz what I heard them call them…lay-sers….but ta me, those weapons are the devil's own, foul lightbringers, tools meant for nuthin but death!}"
The Chosen One: "{821}{}{Yes, of course, Father. Tools of the devil and all that. What do the other families think of these 'lightbringers?'}"
Tully: "{830}{}{One of them lightbringers can kill a dozen men…Other families useta fight with th' Salvatores, but now no one messes with 'em. Itz a peace of sorts…good as long azzit holds out, I s'pose.}"
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{583}{}{Who is this man you wish dead, Senor Mordino?}"
Big Jesus Mordino: "{610}{}{This man, Louis Salvatore… he has killed many of my men… many PROUD men of the Mordino family. He... butchered them in the street like... dogs. (His hand clenches into a fist.) It is my will that this man die.}"

The Otago Polytechnic's Central Campus is expanding steadily as the number of residents in Central Otago increases. As head of school in Cromwell, what is it like to observe the changes?
Great - change and growth is terrific for us and this period represents the biggest change since we opened in 1987. That said, the region is growing and needs to have tertiary provision to cater for that region-wide growth.
What benefits will things like your new student accommodation and the construction of a new trades academy bring to the Central Campus?
We have a new strategic plan that looks to grow student numbers from around 200 now to 350 in the next three years. The 350 students represents around 1200 enrolments for both full and part-time students. The developments we are implementing are reflecting the growth we are forecasting. With accommodation, we can't ignore the fact that growth is happening rapidly in our communities.
With the trades build, I think everyone understands where we are heading. We have 12 trades on offer at the campus. All of these are underpinned by strong demand from industry. Our new trades building that houses carpentry, automotive and craft brewing reflects this, and provides a wonderful facility to learn in.
What do the students think? Is there a typical profile of the Central Otago student?
The feedback is good, and a good measure is the feedback from them and the employers we work closely with.
A typical student profile is that there isn't one. We have students aged from 17-70 on campus. What is typical is the focus these students bring. They are keen to learn and bring a strong desire to pass and gain excellent employment from the contacts the programmes offer here.
International students are now over 20% of our student mix. They're great and bring a whole new dynamic to our campus and communities.
Is it invigorating working with those who are learning and beginning a new stage of their life?
Absolutely, that's why we do it. No point teaching if this isn't one of your core values. The nice thing for us in a tertiary setting is we get to see the students post-graduation quite regularly. In fact many of the students of the past are the employers we work with today.
I'm always grateful for the team we have here. There's great talent in the polytechnic staff. The students have great opportunities here, generally with small classes where they get great contact with great staff. We don't have classes of 100!
What else is on the way for the Cromwell campus?
The first manager of the campus in Central, Shirley MacAlister, had a strong ethic of ensuring we should focus on delivering programmes for the region. I think that ethos is alive and well at the campus still. In reality, local founded programmes will always cater for the region. What's changed is these local programmes are also sometimes unique and have wide appeal to New Zealanders and international students as well.
Coming in February is a raft of brewing programmes, the shift of all outdoor pursuits programmes from Dunedin, Applied Management programmes for international students and higher level programmes in turf management and horticulture. Alongside this we are redeveloping all of the facilities and building a new campus operation at our Bannockburn Road site. We will continue to develop accommodation to help the ever-increasing number of students coming to us. We will be looking for additional English language delivery in the next few months to support our international learners.
It is an incredibly dynamic time for us, but it is setting the platform for growth that has been coming for the past few years. It's very exciting!
Off-campus, what occupies your time?
Central Lakes Trust (I am a trustee) has been a focus. I've really enjoyed the governance role and the difference the funding CLT has been able to provide our communities. I'm keen on sport: tennis, hunting, biking. We have a farm near Cromwell and this allows me to continue my real interest in cherry production. This is a great area to bring up a family, and it is growing fast. My wife Karen and I have been here a long time, and this is without the most rapid growth we have both seen. All the communities are growing rapidly in the region, and I like the variety this has brought to us all.

on venture capital, biotech trends, politics, and more.
@BijanS. Bijan Salehizadeh of Navimed Capital is a friend and collaborator of Bruce Booth, and like Booth, he's both a skilled communicator and a keen observer of industry trends.
@mdphdbfd. Stephen Hoffman of Skyline Ventures doesn't say much on Twitter, but when he does, he's worth listening to. His irreverent Twitter handle, about an MD/Ph.D being a BFD, speaks volumes. You have to laugh when looking at his Twitter account image alone. It's the "most interesting guy in the world" from the Dos Equis beer commercials.
@dgmacarthur. Daniel MacArthur, more than anyone else, caused me to have my Twitter-is-awesome epiphany. It was early 2010, and he was a young genomics whiz attending a key industry confab in Florida. He started Tweeting on a Saturday afternoon about an impressive presentation on a new semiconductor based DNA sequencer from a stealthy company called Ion Torrent Systems. Forbes' Matthew Herper re-tweeted it, putting it on my radar screen. I knew right away that not only had I better start following a smart insider like MacArthur, but that I found a good story idea to follow up on. Since then, MacArthur has moved on to a research gig at Massachusetts General Hospital, sent out many more informative Tweets from genomics conferences, and built a legion of followers.
@biotechbaumer. Jonathan Mandelbaum is one scientist who likes to use Twitter for its two-way conversational capability, rather than merely as a platform to just push out his research or views.
@westr. Robert West, a faculty member at SUNY Medical Center in Syracuse, NY, is a very prolific Tweeter with a lot to share and a lot to say about the cutting edge of biomedical research and personalized medicine.
@AtulButte. Atul Butte of Stanford University has a rare blend of interests in computation, biology, and entrepreneurship. He's someone to watch for insights into the next phase of genomics in medicine.
@BiotechStockRsr. Many Wall Street analysts are limited by legal compliance departments in what they can say, but those rules don't apply to independent operators like David Miller of Biotech Stock Research. He follows publicly traded development-stage biotech companies, with a particular focus on cancer companies.
@natesadeghi. Nate Sadeghi-Nehad offers up a great mix of sharp biotech commentary, mixed in with flashes of personality. He's also a contributor to TheStreet.com.
@DewDiligence [Added: 2:30 pm ET] This Twitter feed is by Roy Friedman, who describes himself as a professional investor and director of a private foundation. He showed his market savvy this month in a series of Tweets that questioned the legitimacy of clinical data from Tustin, CA-based Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PPHM). Sure enough, Peregrine stock crashed today, as the company said investors should no longer rely on data it previously released about its experimental lung cancer drug.
@BradLoncar. [Added: 2:30 pm ET] Loncar, an independent investor in Lenexa, KS, is best known as the guy who attempted an Internet-based rebellion that called for a boardroom shakeup at Dendreon. Loncar was a bit ahead of the curve on that one, as Dendreon has struggled this year. And he's been branching out lately, following and commenting on many more biotech companies.
@dsobek [Added: 2:30 pm ET] David Sobek of Sobek Analytics is another biotech investor not afraid to share strong opinions about companies good and bad.
@dbsable [Added: 2:30 pm ET] David Sable mixes in a variety of insights as a life sciences fund manager, a teacher at Columbia University, and as a physician.
@JasonCRG [Added: 2:40 pm ET] Jason Chew is the co-founder of Chimera Research Group, which has a whole team of independent analysts who active in discussing and analyzing the biotech news of the day on Twitter. Co-founder Patrick Crutcher (@ChasingTheAlpha) Tro Kalayjian (@TroKalayjianCRG) and Andrew Goodwin (@BioDueDiligence) are all key members of the team to follow.
@erictopol. Eric Topol, the prominent cardiologist at Scripps Health in San Diego, is an advocate for health IT that will lead to nothing less than the "Creative Destruction of Medicine." Not surprisingly, he was early to embrace Twitter as a communications platform.
@mtmdphd. Mike Thompson is a physician in Waukesha, WI who specializes in hematology/oncology, the field that treats blood cancers. He's a prolific and influential Tweeter. You can bet the folks at big blood cancer drugmakers know his name well.
@DrAnasYounes. Dr. Anas Younes of MD Anderson Cancer Center is a thought leader in the field of hematology/oncology. That means he's a busy guy, but not so busy that he can't share a lot of new and interesting developments on Twitter.
@JackWestMD. Dr. Jack West is an oncologist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, and a forward thinker in the world of health IT, social media, and telemedicine.
Consultants/Service Providers
@genomicslawyer. Dan Vorhaus, a young attorney in New York, had the foresight to carve out a legal specialty in the fast-moving world of genomics and brand himself on Twitter as the one and only person with the handle @genomicslawyer. He frequently passes along both his writing and relevant genomics news and features from other outlets.
@MaverickNY. Sally Church is a cancer R&D consultant who has made a pretty big name for herself the past couple of years on her Pharma Strategy Blog and through her Tweets. Besides her deep interest in cancer R&D, this charming British lady loves American football. Go figure.
European Biotech Pros [Added 4 pm ET]
@Rowan_UK Rowan Gardner is the chairman of Biolauncher, a Cambridge, U.K.-based firm that helps researchers translate their work in the business world. She's an avid member of the Twittersphere, following and sharing biotech news of the day in the U.S. and Europe.
@fderubertis Francesco De Rubertis is a venture capitalist with Index Ventures in Switzerland and the U.K. He's a former postdoc in genetics at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, MA. He's a pretty prolific Tweeter by VC standards, regularly sharing his global perspective on the biotech, pharma, and medical device sector. Lately, he's been bantering a bit with a California-based VC peer—Frazier Healthcare's @BobMoreVC.
@ScripMikeWard Mike Ward is the U.K.-based editor for Scrip Intelligence, a source of pharma industry news and analysis. Given that so many top companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, and AstraZeneca are based in Europe, it only makes sense to follow journalists like Ward who keep tabs on those operations across the Atlantic.
@ScienceScanner David Grainger is a Twitter-savvy biotech consultant to follow in the U.K. One of his recent Tweets read as follows: "You take the risk, I will take the blame" – so said Paul Janssen – great philosophy for those managing drug R&D."
@SimonBayly Simon Bayly is a chemist and partner with Epiphany Capital in the U.K. He keeps a close eye on investment trends in biotech around the world. He recently shared this slide deck which sized up the state of European biotech funding.
@AJack Andrew Jack covers the pharmaceutical industry in Europe for the Financial Times. Thanks to @sciencescanner, who alerted me to his presence on Twitter. I'm following him now.
Anonymous Entertainers
@BurbDoc. For sheer entertainment for those in the healthcare industry, it's hard to beat @BurbDoc. This is an anonymous Twitter account, in which someone has created an everyman physician who loves nothing more than ranting about the dysfunction of modern healthcare. He's profane, funny, and often is on the mark when he mocks money-obsessed pharma companies, clueless government bureaucrats, and irresponsible patients. Lately he's been ranting about what he considers the federal government's lame push to get physicians to adopt health IT systems.
@BioTurdCEO. This is a relatively new anonymous account created by someone who thought it would be fun to skewer biotech CEOs. Whoever this person is, he or she sounds like the little devil that you can imagine whispers cynical advice into the ear of the average biotech CEO, and sometimes prevails over the angel's advice. His motto is simply: "fleecing shareholders one secondary offering at a time." When one biotech executive was recently quoted saying a CEO can't change a board, BioTurdCEO pounced, saying, "Not true. Control investors—>Get friends on board—>Live large."
OK, deep breath, I think that's more than enough to get any Twitter newcomers started. If you have more suggestions of people to follow, let me know with a comment at the end of this story.
By posting a comment, you agree to our terms and conditions.
Thanks for this Luke. I'm relatively new to Twitter and was asking around for someone to do exactly what you've done here.
Hi Luke,
Nice list, what do I have to do to get on it? ;)
In 2009 we made a list of the top biotech influencers on Twitter, but it's a bit outdated so I won't link it here, but I'm guessing most of these people were on it. Since then we've developed some interesting tools to look at life science networks and influence on Twitter, stay tuned.
For who to follow, check out also our Twitter lists of life science companies and conferences, listed below:
Thanks Luke! I'm in the process of expanding my social media outreach activities for PlantForm Corp. (biologic drugs grown in plants), and I've picked up some new names here: much appreciated!
There are two more team members at Chimera Research group, although not co-founders: JP Serrate @JPZaragoza1 and Joe Gantoss @GantosJ
Thanks for the mention amongst a great crowd. Dr. Younes (mentioned) along with Robert Miller, MD and I recently published a short paper "Using Social Media in Oncology for Education and Patient Engagement
" – based on our talks at #ASCO12 that might be of interest. http://www.cancernetwork.com/practice/content/article/10165/2101308
Ha.. Nice coincidence. we at nextgenseek.com have come up with two sets of Twitter users to follow. Earlier today, we published the post on "Top N Science Writers to Follow on Twitter for Genetics/Genomics". It is here at http://nextgenseek.com/2012/09/top-n-science-writers-twitter-accounts-to-follow-for-geneticsgenomics/. Carl Zimmerman tops the list and you are in top 10 in our list.
To many people's surprise, top academics in genomics are active in Twitter. A month ago, we also came up with the list of "Top N Academics to Follow in Twitter for Genomics". Here is that list http://nextgenseek.com/2012/08/top-n-twitter-accounts-academic-to-follow-for-genomics/
Hope it is useful.
Very good list, Luke. I also find it interesting that our personal and professional lives continue to blur, especially on Twitter.
Self serving promotion via @ggoodno. I cover biotech economic development initatives, state policy, cool advances, small business incentives…
But some of these "Analysts" are not analysts! In particular this guy
@DewDiligence runs an Ihub message board on which he highlights his favorites, none of which are biotechs. The closest is MNTA (generics) and the rest are big pharma stuff such as PFE. He used to pick and pump biotechs but in the end it just didn't work.
Also the Chimera Research Group, their record is only slightly better. You get much the same anyway as they also like MNTA. All these guys are pomp with fake credentials but they have something to sell you.
@lifesciadvisors is the best! Ex-wall street analysts and hedge fund gurus
I'm so glad to see the life science community growing on twitter @my_julianna :)
Hi luke, thank you so much for including me – I am honored to be in such good company! My official twitter handle for the biotech posts is @divabiotech not @rubygadelrab – Thanks very much!

Ingredients are important, but many of us are too busy to read the labels. They are important on everything we use from cosmetics, household cleaners, pesticides, drugs, food, water and so on. There are increasing links between the number of toxic chemicals that we take in and the number of health problems we have.
Part of the problem with the level of toxic chemicals we are now exposed to is that they tend to stay in the body. Once these toxins reach a critical mass, they can suppress your immune system and cause disease. Periodic cleansing is an important part of any natural health program, and it is as important to identify toxic chemicals in any products that you are still consuming and / or exposed to.
This is where becoming aware of ingredients matters. We live in a world where most of our food has some level of processing. Most of our cosmetics, shampoos and other toiletries are full of synthetic chemicals. On top of that, we use household cleaners, air fresheners, pesticides and many other products that fill the air we breathe with toxic chemicals.
If you are interested in being healthy, start reading your labels and question what is in there and if it is safe. I would start with your food. If you can't pronounce it, I wouldn't eat it. Look particularly for the excitotoxins that stimulate your nerve cells to death. These include any monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame, or sucralose (Splenda). Then look preservatives that have long chemical names. It is also important to eliminate hydrogenated oils – this means almost all margarines.
Then go to your shampoos and cosmetics and read the labels. Artificial color and fragrances are the first two things to get rid of. Then look for chemicals that you can't pronounce. Many of them are petrochemical based. For example petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is used as a moisturizer, but it actually makes you skin dry and flaky in the long run. Petrolatum is in many lipsticks – I always wondered why lipstick made my lips peel.
Personal care products are typically filled with toxic chemicals. Even so-called "natural" products are not always clean. For instance, many natural products will contain sodium laurel sulfate, a sudsing agent that irritates the skin causing dry flaky skin and sometimes rashes. Also look for ethyl and methyl parabens which are preservatives. I particularly dislike these in natural progesterone creams because they tend to tie up the progesterone.
Many of us forget that what we breathe and put on our skin actually gets into our body and goes directly to the bloodstream without being filtered by the liver. Learn to question what you are using everyday and make healthier choices.
The other point I would like to make is don't trust the government or the business making the product to determine what is safe and what is not safe. There are many popular products out there that are full of chemicals I would not use.
Remember that what is required to be on the label is legislated. There are chemicals that are used in processing that do not have to be disclosed. So labels can be deceptive –(on purpose). It is very important to do your own research and make your own decisions. Please be aware of the chemicals you are taking in by reading labels and researching the ingredients, brands and types of products.

After a consulting gig at Commonwealth Restaurant & Sky Bar, Harrison Keevil is back full-time at Keevil & Keevil, with some new ideas for the store he co-owns with his wife Jennifer.
"We're bringing back the guest sandwiches —where I ask friends what their dream sandwich is and try to make it come to life with local ingredients," Keevil says. He'll start with a take on Charlottesville native/UVA grad Mason Hereford's famed bologna sandwich.
Hereford's New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf, was voted Bon Appetit's best restaurant in America in 2017, and was also a James Beard finalist for best new restaurant that year. He's famed for turning your average sandwich into a work of wonder.
"Mason asked us to make an all-Virginia version of his fried bologna sandwich," Keevil says. Hereford shared a family recipe for mustard, which will be mixed with Duke's mayonnaise. The bologna is made from local grass-fed beef, the bread comes from Albemarle Baking Company, and it's all topped off with Route 11 Potato Chips.
Other chefs with guest sandwich offerings in the months to come will include Jason Alley, owner of Pasture and Comfort in Richmond, and Trigg Brown, formerly of Ten and Blue Light, and now co-owner of Win Son, a Taiwanese-American restaurant in Brooklyn.
The chef whose sandwiches sell the most during this multi-month smackdown will make a $500 donation to the charity of his choice, and Keevil & Keevil will then match the donation for Therapeutic Adventures, in honor of a friend of Harrison's who passed away last summer and had lived a very full life with only one leg.
Keevil says they've got some other new things brewing at the shop, including seasonally focused sandwiches and pick up/takeaway dinners.
"We'll do some beef bourguignon, lasagna, and some more heartier stuff during the winter, keeping an eye on the weather," he says. "If it's going to warm up, we'll do some lighter stuff, and if it's colder, we'll do more braising. We'll have delicious stuff people can grab and take home to feed their family. Now that I'm back in the kitchen full-time, I have a lot of ideas and energy and a lot of new time to dedicate to creating delicious food here."
So long, farewell to Jose De Brito
After a year at the helm of Fleurie's kitchen, esteemed local chef Jose De Brito is leaving to return home to Washington, Virginia, where he and his wife settled when he worked at the Inn at Little Washington.
De Brito, who at times could be as professionally elusive as Peter Chang once was, rose to prominence when he headed the kitchen at The Alley Light, earning praise in the food world with his French cuisine.
Fleurie owner Brian Helleberg says he hates to lose a gifted chef but understood his need to return home.
"Chef Jose had been keeping an apartment in Charlottesville for the work week and was missing his wife and home in Little Washington," he says. "It was certainly a privilege to have him as the chef and although I'll miss his presence, I'll look forward to continuing our friendship."
Helleberg says Fleurie is in good hands with Joe Walker, the new chef de cuisine.
"Walker is going to surprise some people when they see just how good he is," he says. "Chef Joe has been immersed in great kitchen culture and Michelin star food his whole career, and I think Jose would be the first to agree that his ceiling isn't even visible from here."
No sweet ending for Sweethaus
Sweethaus, the sole remaining cupcakery in Charlottesville, unceremoniously closed its doors days before Christmas with no explanation. The store's other two locations, in Ivy and Brooklyn, appear to have closed as well.
A little nookie
The Nook is under new management, sort of, after owner Stu Rifkin sold his share of the business to longtime co-owner Gina Wood.
More downtown pastries on the way
Looks like MarieBette's satellite shop on Water Street should be opened by the end of the month. Co-owner Jason Becton said they fell behind due to some contractor issues, but are hoping for a late-January launch.

Even For Censorship Savvy China, ICTs Can Cut Through Corruption, Study Finds
BY Rebecca Chao | Friday, May 23 2014
In a few years from now, or perhaps it has already happened, mention "human flesh search engine" to a Chinese netizen and they may get glossy-eyed with nostalgia -- the good old days when a digital probe into the life of a politician or wealthy businessman could potentially uncover a trail of corruption: illegally obtained houses, hidden wealth, shady transactions. Now that these searches have largely fallen out of use -- and one can safely assume, due to the intimidation and jailing of those who have spread online "rumors" -- is the fight against corruption lost? A new study conducted by two Taiwanese scholars concludes, perhaps not. Read More

Turkey's Twitter Ban and Why the Country's Still Tweeting
BY Carola Frediani | Tuesday, March 25 2014
When Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan decided on Thursday to "wipe out" Twitter, banning the microblogging website across the country, he made it more popular than ever. In a few hours after the ban, hashtags like #TurkeyblockedTwitter and #TwitterisblockedinTurkey became trending topics. Turkish netizens managed to post more than half a million tweets in the 10 hours following the ban with an average of about 1.8 million tweets per day, according to Al Jazeera. That figure quickly grew to the point of setting a new record for the country. Read More
Russia Blocks Major Opposition Sites; Anonymous Russia Retaliates, Shuts Down Kremlin Site
BY Rebecca Chao | Friday, March 14 2014
Russia has blocked a handful of independent news sites, including those of renown chess player and opposition leader Gary Kasparov and popular dissident blogger Alexei Nalvany. The block began Thursday with an announcement by Russia's general prosecutor's office that Kasparov's website and others would be shut down because they "contain calls for illegal activity and participation in mass events conducted in violation of the established order."

Making "NSA-Proof" Social Networking Mainstream
BY Carola Frediani | Tuesday, February 18 2014
Webmail services like Yahoo and Google and social networks like Facebook and Twitter are convenient and efficient platforms, as well as easy to use, but they collect massive amounts of user data that can facilitate intelligence spying and other types of snooping. Meanwhile, securer methods of communication are often cumbersome and overly technical for the average user who would like to send an email without having to download and set up various software. Yet after Edward Snowden's leaks, an increasing demand for securer alternatives has led to the development of anti-surveillance products with an eye towards being user friendly. Read More
Hadrian's Firewall: UK's New Internet Filter or Censor?
BY Wendy M. Grossman | Wednesday, January 22 2014
"Hadrian's Firewall," the veteran journalist Guy Kewney called it in 2006, the first time I wrote about plans for UK-wide content blocking. The term is much more valid now: just before Christmas British ISPs turned on a system that requires subscribers to actively choose whether they want filtering that will block material in broad categories such as sex, alcohol, violence, and hate speech. In response, the Open Rights Group is gearing up to collect evidence of whether and how the filters work. Of particular concern to ORG is the problem of over-blocking with little redress available to site owners, as well as the dangers inherent in over-confidence in the technology. Read More
As Govt Ups Censorship of Microblogs, Chinese Netizens Migrate to Other Platforms
BY Rebecca Chao | Friday, January 17 2014
If you're in China, don't get too attached to your microblog. Sooner or later, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will begin to censor it and you'll either have to suck it up or move on. New data shows that most are choosing the latter, migrating from the popular microblog Weibo to the (seemingly) more private instant messaging service WeChat, as well as new debate platforms like Zhihu ("Did you know?"), which currently allows users to ask tough questions.

From Keeping Away Snoops to Surmounting the Digital Divide, Mesh Networks are on the Rise
BY Carola Frediani | Thursday, January 16 2014
From Somalia to Greece, from New York to rural Spain, an increasing number of communities around the world are taking back the right to build their own Internet, by setting up wireless communication networks. Digital divide, scarcity of resources, fears of corporate and government surveillance are the main drivers behind a growing movement that, by leveraging Wi-Fi technology, seeks to create open, free and autonomous networks to connect people.

An Accidental Ally For the European Union: "Thank you, Mr. Snowden," says European Commission VP Reding in Hangout Debate
BY Antonella Napolitano | Thursday, January 9 2014
The year 2013 was a "Year for the Citizens" in the European Union where the institution pledged itself to "encourage dialogue between all levels of government, civil society, and business." But in many countries citizens were more hostile than open to communicating with an institution often perceived as distant and intrusive. That's probably one of the reasons why the European Commission is launching a series of online initiatives to create a space for debate with the most important members of the European institutions. Last Tuesday, the Vice President of the European Commission Viviane Reding hosted an online debate on Google hangout, joined by five journalists and activists from all over Europe.Read More

You've seen the cans and bottles with individual names, as well as special types of people such as BFF, Mom, Dad, and so on... You've probably looked for your name on store shelves or been excited to pull it out of the vending machine at work. You may have even texted a photo of the BFF can to your best friend, or posted a photo of the Mom can to Facebook.
The Share a Coke campaign began with Coca-Cola's Content 2020 plan, which illustrates how their brand content development strategy will evolve over the next several years.
Staying true to their core values of friendship, happiness and good times, the marketing minds at Coca-Cola focused on how people communicate both on and offline. Then, they created a framework that allowed people to tell their own stories using the Coca-Cola products.
Share a Coke Framework Components:
• Personalized Coca-Cola products
• Campaign microsite, allows people to create and share a virtual Coke product
• Social platforms sharing consumer-generated stories
• Facebook
• Instagram
• Twitter
• SnapChat- CocaCola
• Vine
• #ShareACoke (Hashtags are a great tool for tracking campaign impressions.)
What did they achieve?
Marketing Daily reported that the campaign has outperformed other major summer beverage campaigns, according to data from analytics company Networked Insights.
Here are some stand-out campaign metrics, as of July 28th:
• 125,000+ Share a Coke posts were shared across digital channels
• 96% of the sentiment has been positive or neutral
• 11.8% brand lift
Viral moments built on the campaign foundation, including a marriage proposal and a baby announcement.
Countless un-trackable brand impressions all over the world.
How can you create a Share a Coke moment for your brand?
Building a successful campaign like this doesn't start online – it ends there.
Think about how your audience communicates. Consider the kind of content they share and how it ties into your brand. Develop a content hook that will engage the people in your audience on an individual level. Make it easy and natural for them to share your content, both on and offline. Monitor the conversation happening around your campaign. Be agile in your response – don't force the conversation, but rather go with the flow.
Don't panic if you don't see your Facebook likes jump up exponentially. Fifty engaged and responsive followers are worth more to your brand than thousands of fans who may not see your content in their social streams.
Other Tips
Support your campaign with advertising, online and off, including printed media, pay-per-click ads, and broadcast media.
Measure, measure, measure both on the web and in the real world. If this is your first such campaign, these measurements will give you a good benchmark to reach for on the next one. They'll also give you a good sense of where your brand stands in the marketplace.
And remember, your brand isn't Coca-Cola. You probably don't spend millions on advertising, product testing, content development and focus groups. You don't even have to. Just start with a simple idea and execute it fully to get the best results.

News: Ten years of Big Dance
This week (2 – 10 July) thousands of people will be taking part in Big Dance events across the UK. In London the final Big Dance week starts with hundreds of people performing Akram Khan's choreography, with original music by Nitin Sawhney, in Trafalgar Square on Saturday. Check our listings for a selection of some of the activities taking place in London on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Big Dance Bus will also be making stops at many locations across London.
The Trafalgar Square mass dance, bringing together people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, has been a highlight of Big Dance in every Big Dance, which has happened biennially since 2006. Previous choreographers were Jeanefer Jean-Charles (2006), Aletta Collins (2008), Luca Silvestrini (2010), Wayne McGregor (2012, Olympic edition) and Rafael Bonachela (2014 Commonwealth edition).
Big Dance has been the biggest and most ambitious celebration of dance in the UK. Delivered through a unique partnership led by the Mayor of London and People Dancing, Big Dance is led by many organisations including in London: East London Dance, English National Ballet, Greenwich Dance, Sadler's Wells and Siobhan Davies Dance known as the Big Dance Hubs.
Over the last ten years, Big Dance has focused on four key areas of development:
• Creating dance hubs, a new collaborative network across London, the UK and internationally to support participatory work
• Championing the A to Z of dance to reflect the full range of dance styles in the UK
• Highlighting the value of mass dancing in fostering the spirit of community
• Promoting dance as a contribution to health and wellbeing
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "Supporting London's creative industries is one of my core priorities as Mayor, and dance is a key part of the capital's cultural offer. For the past decade, the Big Dance has energised audiences through hundreds of events and performances. Its work in bringing communities together both in London and across the globe is now more important than ever. Akram Khan's moving choreography has inspired people of all abilities to prove that whatever your age, dancing is a great way to have fun and keep fit."

When we are in a relationship, we think that it is the end of the world and we are done with looking ahead romantically. The relationship starts to consume the life we have, which is why we don't even realise if the things are turning sour. There are many reasons that can lead to a bad relationship such as emotional abuse, over possessiveness, lying etc. However, it is often observed that despite all these toxic problems people choose to stay in the same relationship or they take back their ex easily. It may sound really irrational but there are few reasons as to why people stay in a bad relationship. (Also read: What pieces of bad relationship advice you should never follow)
Reasons people stay in a bad relationship
- Emotional affection
- You are habitual to the bad treatment
- Dependency
- Fear of being alone
- Hope to change
Emotional affection
When you are in a relationship it is natural that you are emotionally attached to that person. This emotional affection starts to cloud your practical thoughts and you find it hard to detach yourself from that person. It is a common case in most bad relationships. (Also read: Relationship tips: Signs that you are putting too much pressure on your partner)
You are habitual to the bad treatment
A bad relationship or a toxic partner can easily turn into a part of your everyday life. You become so used to his/her wrong behaviour that it doesn't even surprise you anymore. So, even though an outsider might think that your relationship is toxic you might not see it.
(Also read: What are the things that can make a woman insecure)
When you are completely dependent on your partner for everything in your life than you find it hard to walk away. You are comfortable in your dependency and you don't want to end it.
Fear of being alone
Some people are really afraid of living life alone. So, this fear forces them to accept the relationship as it is indeed of trying to move out of it. (Also read: What are the things you should avoid after a breakup)
Hope to change
This is the biggest reason why people stay in a bad relationship, as they hope to change the partner. People sometimes turn a blind eye to the reality of their relationship and keep hoping to change the partner in the right way.

How to Tell if Your ISP Is Blocking Port 25
Sometimes, our customers use Earthnet for their email, but another ISP for their Internet connection, for example if DSL is not available in your area but you want to retain your Earthnet email address.
More and more ISPs decided to block port 25, which is the port that Earthnet uses to send out outgoing messages with smtp.earthnet.net. If your ISP blocks port 25, you will NOT be able to use our outgoing mail server - smtp.earthnet.net - to send out messages. For example, if your ISP is Comcast, chances are you can't send messages using our mail server. You can still receive, but you can't send through Earthnet.
In that case, you will have to contact your ISP and ask them how to configure your email program to send out messages using their outgoing mail server. Alernately, use relay.earthnet.net to send out emails on port 80.
Why do some ISPs block port 25? Because port 25 is the most widely used port for outgoing mail, and most spammers use that port to innundate the world with their spam. If that port is blocked by your ISP, spammers won't be able to use your computer to turn it into a spam launching base.
If you use a Windows computer:
1 - Click on the Start menu in the lower left-hand corner
2 - Click on the 'Run' icon
3 - In the little box that pops up, type in: cmd and press the Enter key. If it doesn't work, try typing command then press Enter.
4 - This should open a black DOS window.
5 - At the command prompt, type the following exactly as shown, followed by the Enter key:
telnet smtp.earthnet.net 25
6 - If your ISP does NOT block port 25, the screen will clear and you will see the following response:
220 earthnet.net ESMTP Postfix.
Type quit which will get you:
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection to host lost.
If your ISP DOES BLOCK port 25, then you will see:
Connecting To smtp.earthnet.net...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed
If you use a Mac OS X computer
1 - Bring the terminal window. To do so, go to the finder, click on Applications, Utilities and finally Terminal:
2 - At the prompt sign, type the following exactly as follows, then press the Return key:
telnet smtp.earthnet.net 25
3 - If your ISP does NOT block port 25, you will see:
Trying 18.104.22.168...
Connected to smtp.earthnet.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 earthnet.net ESMTP Postfix
Type quit, which will show the following:
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
If your ISP DOES BLOCK port 25, you should see the following:
Trying 188.8.131.52...
telnet: connect to address 188.8.131.52: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
What now?
If you have found out that your port 25 is blocked, then you will need to make some adjustments to your outgoing mail server settings. Click here to find out how.

You must try to maintain a positive image and keep everything in mind. Whatever is the reason behind your summer school, you know it is for your good. You won't only end your summer with some extra knowledge about things, but it will also give you some peace of mind.
Take Advantage of Off-Season
There are many things which are not available during the regular semester, but they are available in summers. Many colleges do not give advantage of choosing the subjects of your choice during the regular semester, but you can always pick the subject of your choice during the summers. Moreover, it is not necessary for every student to ensure full attendance. Not only your attendance would be reduced, but the duration of your classes would also be reduced along with that.
More Advantages
After learning about some advantages that you can take while you join summer school, there is still a lot that you can do in order to take more advantages of your summer school. Take this camp just as overtime to your educational learning. The more you attend it, the more you will gain knowledge. By taking these short classes, you will save yourself plenty of times to do other tasks. You can go through your old notes, organize your coursework. While you are free you can ask a friend to accompany you and you both can go out somewhere, find a peaceful spot and study.
Extra Curriculum Activities
Have you ever thought if you were not taking this summer school, what could you have been possibly doing? Watching movies, sleeping over, partying, wasting time in playing games or may be just eating and getting fat. While you attend your summer school, you don't only get to have a healthy routine but also stay fresh. Summer schools offer many curriculum activities; you can take part in swimming competitions, short quizzes, you can join gym or may be help raise charity groups.
Improve Your Grades
Last but not the least you can always improve your grades, since we know that summer school is an add on, then definitely it is an add on to your grades as well. You will definitely gain knowledge which would eventually help you in achieving good grades by the end of the semester.

Peace campaigners have responded to airstrikes conducted by the US, UK and France early this morning (14 April 2018).
Kate Hudson, CND General Secretary, said: "We strongly condemn these air strikes on Syria, which are in defiance of international law. They will only increase the likelihood of this terrible conflict spilling over into the wider Middle East and potentially beyond that.
"We also condemn Theresa May's decision to bypass parliament which demonstrates a contempt for the necessary democratic process. She has also disregarded public opinion in launching these strikes; polls indicate that only 22 per cent of the population support this bombing campaign.
"CND works for the prevention and cessation of wars in which nuclear weapons may be used and there can be no clearer example of such a situation than that which we are currently facing. Diplomatic and political solutions must be sought. Nuclear escalation poses consequences too terrible to contemplate."

Environmental activism in contemporary Russia exemplifies both the promise and the challenge facing grassroots politics in the post-Soviet period. In the late Soviet period, Russia's environmental movement was one of the country's most dynamic and effective forms of social activism, and it appeared well positioned to influence the direction and practice of post-Soviet politics. At present, however, activists scattered across Russia face severe obstacles to promoting green issues that range from wildlife protection and nuclear safety to environmental education.
Based on fifteen months of fieldwork in five regions of Russia, this book goes beyond familiar debates about the strength and weakness of civil society in Russia to identify the contradictory trends that determine the political influence of grassroots movements. In an organizational analysis of popular mobilization that addresses the continuing role of the Soviet legacy, the influence of transnational actors and the relevance of social mobilization theory to the Russian case, the author details what grassroots organizations in Russia actually do, how they use the limited economic and political opportunities that are available to them, and when they are able to influence policy and political practice.

Hello All,
I am trying to create a tool in python that can potentially find areas of wind turbines by county. I have the correct process down, but in some counties there are parameters that don't exist. So for example I take into account airports, hydrology, slope, roads, urban areas, and more. But what if an area does not have that parameter ie. no military zones in some counties. But I have a code that requires the military area. Is there a way to use the tool so that it can ignore certain parameters when there is no data? Below is the piece of code that is giving me issues. I would still like to use this code, but I need it to work when there is no data in some of the shape files. I feel there is a way to do this without having to write a ton of if-then blocks.
Thanks in advance!

This attempted coup against our President is turning on the conspirators of this failed plot.
Mueller Indicted A Russian Company That Didn't Even Exist, Court Transcripts Say
This week, one of the Russian companies accused by Special Counsel Robert Mueller of funding a conspiracy to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was revealed in court to not have existed during the time period alleged by Mueller's team of prosecutors, according to a lawyer representing the defendant.
U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey asked Eric Dubelier, one of two lawyers representing the accused Russian company, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, if he was representing a third company listed in Mueller's indictment.
"What about Concord Catering?" Harvey asked Dubelier. "The government makes an allegation that there's some association. I don't mean for you to – do you represent them, or not, today? And are we arraigning them as well?"
"We're not," Dubelier responded. "And the reason for that, Your Honor, is I think we're dealing with a situation of the government having indicted the proverbial ham sandwich."
"That company didn't exist as a legal entity during the time period alleged by the government," Dubelier continued. "If at some later time they show me that it did exist, we would probably represent them. But for purposes of today, no, we do not."
The term "indict a ham sandwich" is believed to have originated from a 1985 report in the New York Daily News when New York Chief Judge Sol Wachtler told the news publication that government prosecutors have so much influence over grand juries that they could get them to "indict a ham sandwich."

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Travel Health Questionnaire
If completing the online travel form, please complete 3 days prior to your appointment to ensure that your form is available in surgery for your travel consultation. Alternatively, please print off this form to bring along to your appointment.
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
