Well, we are all still here and soldiering on through 2014 and into 2015.
Sam continues to make slow progress after his stroke, which was now two and a half years ago. His speech has improved a bit this year but the major change has been our recent acquisition of a MyGait, an electronic device (FES - Functional Electrical Stimulation) strapped to the right leg, which helps Sam to lift his foot and also stimulates his hamstring muscle, which has very little movement. It requires very accurate positioning to get right, and is quite a temperamental beast, but Sam is now walking without rolling his foot out to the side and on good days is noticeably faster and has more stamina than before. We paid for the MyGait, as well as some physiotherapy to help make the most of it, with a legacy from Sam's brother Adrian who died late in 2012. We hope he would be glad to know that the money has made a real difference.
Sam continues to go to the workshop at Street Forge once a week and is now enjoying it much more. We hear that he works faster and more accurately with one hand than many of their trainees do with two. Apart from many bird-nesting boxes and decorative wheelbarrows he has also made a rather splendid stand for one of our model pond yachts.
Camilla has returned to work this year with a fairly wide range of different activities, although working from home most of the time, and with some months a lot busier than others! She has been updating the website for Suffolk Yacht Harbour (our marina), working with her brother Paul on his photography website for part of the year, and returning to digital consultancy to implement a SharePoint intranet for a Lloyd's underwriter, via Brandex, a Norwich-based branding agency (these things can get very convoluted). And just a few days ago she was appointed as the next editor for Cruising magazine, a quarterly magazine for members of the Cruising Association (the "leading association for cruising yachtsmen worldwide") which is not hugely well paid but should be good fun and a continuing income. Again, most of the work on the magazine can be done from home, which means Camilla is around to help Sam and make sure he has plenty of activities, including swimming, various therapies, and socialising with the lovely members of our local stroke club.

Next year we hope to recruit crew via the Cruising Association or elsewhere (see blog post below this one) and head off to the Netherlands for a few weeks. Camilla is even talking seriously about doing the Yachtmaster exam, if time and energy permit.
In between trips on Kalessin Sam also sailed most weeks during the summer with the East Anglian Sailing Trust, a body that provides daysailing for less able people. He seems to have enjoyed every minute, and using other people's boats does have the wonderful advantage that you don't have to worry about maintenance and repairs…

www.thatguyphotography.co.uk. He's not earning vast amounts but is developing a lot of new skills and is employed by Camilla's company, Kalessin Consulting. He is available for commissions of all types ☺ and will be the official photographer for Cruising magazine. He works from home and looks after Sam when required, which is the only thing that allows Camilla to work, so it all pans out ok.
In November the Friends of Icanho, of which Camilla is chair, put on a charity fundraising concert with Rough at the Edges, the group Camilla sings with. However, the star of the show was Sam, playing about two minutes of one-handed guitar to rapturous applause from the select audience. He plays a very lightweight travel guitar, uses an amp with gain turned up to maximum, and manages to make some astonishingly tuneful music. You can now watch a video of him playing on YouTube.
May your 2015 be musical and contented….
Much love
Camilla, Sam, Guy & Ben

President Obama has announced another of his useless initiatives, the only purpose of which is to distract attention from the comprehensive failures of his administration. This one is intended to reduce sexual assault on college campuses. It is claimed that one in five women on college campuses is sexually assaulted–an absurd statistic if by "sexually assaulted" you mean sexually assaulted. Nevertheless, interested persons (politicians who want to talk about something other than the economy, immigration and foreign policy, and grievance hustlers who want money and power) repeat it endlessly.
In this parody video, Glenn Reynolds takes the one-in-five claim seriously. With that sort of risk, you would be crazy to send your daughter to college. What's the alternative? Why, Reynolds Online University, of course! It's the only responsible choice:

Training Tips
What's the call?
It's your third trip around the traffic pattern at the tower-controlled airport. You are established downwind, ready to run your pre-landing checks. On your two first circuits you did a nice job—especially handling a slight crosswind component—but on this next landing you think you can do even better. That's what practice is all about, and it pleases you to realize that your skill has advanced to the point where you can focus on finesse.
A business jet departs, and another is cleared for takeoff. Then an aircraft with the word "heavy" in its call sign checks in from several miles out on final. The tower informs the heavy that it is number two to land, following "a Cessna single that is about to turn base." (Surprise: That's you.)
Next, the tower calls your number and instructs, "Make a short approach, cleared for the option."
If you fly regularly from a tower-controlled airport, especially during busy periods, scenarios like this will soon become familiar. One lesson they teach is to develop the good habit of monitoring all the frequency's radio traffic so you know the position of other arriving and departing aircraft.
Another is that no two circuits of a busy pattern will be alike. In past practice sessions, you may have had to respond to requests to "expedite" a takeoff, or to exit a runway with no delay. On a touch and go, a controller may have instructed you to take minimum time on the runway, or to begin your crosswind turn earlier than usual. On a few occasions you may even have been vectored out of the pattern briefly to accommodate traffic.
Now, if separation from the heavy aircraft following you gets too tight, the controller could amend your clearance to "touch and go only." If you start to feel a bit squeezed or pressured, volunteering to go around also would help (and the offer might be gratefully accepted).
In the meantime you remain cleared for the option, which, according to the Pilot/Controller Glossary, is an ATC authorization "for an aircraft to make a touch-and-go, low approach, missed approach, stop and go, or full stop landing at the discretion of the pilot."
You wanted to make a stop and go to maximize your landing practice in that crosswind—but given your traffic, perhaps that's not the best choice.
It's decision time. What's your call?

Plane Spotter
Lines of Laridae
Do you claim a GU-11 among your plane spotting trophies? If none can be found on the flight line, try the parking lot, where you may well spot a gull. (Unfortunately, they like runways too.) OK, gull (GU-11) type designation jokes have been played endlessly on, yes, gullible pilots. But the ubiquitous birds actually possess properties prized by automobile and aircraft designers who produced "gull-wing" doors (hinged at the top). To spot a most striking adaptation of Laridae's lines, seek out the gull-winged Stinson Reliant, a classic radial-engined taildragger that dates to the 1930s.

Apple's TV box has, over the past few years, transformed itself from novelty side-project to amazingly useful living room essential. A new software update has just rolled out to show the diminutive puck some new tricks, but is it the death knell for the oft-rumoured Apple TV set?
The update brings a raft of new features, but there are a few headline additions. Firstly, the box now has support for shared Photo Streams, making picture sharing a more communal affair.
Then there's AirPlay, which lets you fling your music to nearby AirPlay-enabled speakers. This is top news, as it strengthens the argument for Apple TV as a genuine media hub. Lastly, Apple's brought in support for saving and switching between multiple iTunes accounts, which will be music to the ears of anyone in a house share or multiple iPod owning household.
All very nice, but the big question is: what's happened to the Apple-branded HD TV set? The endless, incessant rumours have seemed to have all come to nought, and now they've all quietened down. There's two possibilities here.
The first is that Apple did think about making such a set, but has decided against it. The second is that the company has indeed 'doubled down on security' as CEO Tim Cook mentioned, and that the Apple TV set is coming soon. Maybe even with the rumoured iPad Mini as a remote?
Either way, the continuing growth of the Apple TV box is a strong sign that it's here to stay.

Cornwall emergency medical information made electronic
Key medical information for patients registered with GPs in Cornwall will be made electronic, the NHS has said.
The Summary Care Record will contain information about patient allergies and medication which medical teams can access at any time of the day.
NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly said about 400,000 electronic records would be made over the next 18 months.
It said all patients would receive a letter informing them of the change and how to "opt out" if they wanted.
A spokesperson from NHS Cornwall said: "This information can make all the difference to a patient's care in an emergency when no other information is available, especially when GP practices are closed."

Hi, it's time for my end of year 2005 letter….even if it's already 2006. Happy New Year!
So for a few years now I've been writing these little end of year summaries. I started because I was getting lots of end of year letters from my friends telling me about their family story, and I didn't have one — my end of year sumaries would have been pretty self-indulgent! I'd also got some good responses to some suggestions I made about charities and causes I support. This year was a very exciting one for me personally as I got a teeny bit closer to being one of those people who writes those family letters. I met a new girlfriend (well re-met actually), had a great vacation in Europe with her and, well, eventually the lovely Amanda and her beautiful and sometimes well-behaved dog Charley moved in with me in October. So far we've been having a great time, and have been redecorating the loft (which I moved into in San Francisco in July 2004), putting new floors in and being generally very domestic. I get to take Charley for lots of walks, and Amanda watches lots of British soccer, and has a big crush on Chelsea's England international Joe Cole. We'll be in England in the early Summer for my sister Dordy's wedding to Simon, and if we're lucky in the ticket lottery may sneak into a World Cup game or two. Check in next year (or sooner) for more news!
And of course if you have any comments, nice or nasty to make about my letter, please let me know (even if it's that you don't remember who I am and want to be taken off this email list!)
Cheers & Happy New Year
But most of the reason for this note is to remind you about which charities I support. Nothing too new here. I'm still asking you to spend a minute thinking about the poorest people in the world, and the disadvantaged here at home. (And later there'll be a little about political causes that upset me!)
Education and economic promotion, particularly of girls and women, is still what I believe to be the most effective way to help people out of poverty. Anyone concerned about this world must believe that better education for women is part of the answer.
My first favorite charity is World Schoolhouse, which is part of NetAid. NetAid is sponsored by Cisco which pays its administrative bills, so its donors don't have to. I've donated to a project which educates girls in the far west of Pakistan where only 12% of women are literate. But there are lots of others that are equally great.
I also feel a special connection with Vietnam, where I spent several weeks in 2002. So for my second favorite, I sponsor three young children via the Saigon Children's Charity. Saigon Children's Charity not only allows you to sponsor kids in school remarkably cheaply (far less than I spent on my New Year's Eve dinner), but also runs a micro-lending organization for very poor families — a great way of promoting economic self-sufficiency. For both of these appeals the amount required is fairly small, so your contribution really does make a difference that you can see.
In the US we've just had a major disaster which showed up many of our governments and, for that matter, relief organizations. One of the best responses to the devastation of Katrina that I know came from a physician I know at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Enoch Choi went to Louisiana to deliver direct medical care, and here's his account (Start here and click thru the days at the top). Enoch's trip was sponsored by his church in Menlo Park, with support from City Team Ministries. Those of you who know me may be surprised that I gave to openly evangelical religious organizations — but there's no question that they are supporting much needed work directly and I know that Enoch and his colleagues did great necessary work. Here's Enoch's take on it in my blog. The Palo Alto/Menlo Park parents club also did great work getting supplies to the affected area, and Glennia Campbell (married to my Stanford friend Frank Schellenberg) has been a driving force behind that.
But everyday in every city in America and elsewhere there are homeless people and homeless families. There are wider causes of homelessness that need a political solution, but for now there are people who just need some help. In my city of San Francisco, I like to support Hamilton Family Center which is a relatively small shelter offering emergency and transitional care for families and children who need help. But Google will connect you with local charities if you live somewhere else.
On the political front the news across the planet and in the US kept getting worse….
We end the year with the American President officially declaring that he is above the law; and need not follow even the excessive secret provisions of the PATRIOT act. I continue to believe that America is better than the mob of criminals running it, and that's why I continue to be a member of the ACLU, which continues to hold us to higher ideals. You can join here
Torture is now official American policy, and we're exporting it all over the world. Of course torture is not only wrong, it's counter-productive in that it is not how to get the best information out of criminals or terrorists. But the worse thing about torture as an official policy, is that it puts us on the same moral level as many many awful regimes across the world. One organization I've supported for many years works to help victims of torture. It's the Medical Foundation for the Care of the Victims of Torture, based in London, and you can find out more and support it here. You might want to read about some of the stories of its clients. Horrific. And we should all think barring that accident of birth, it could be any of us.
– – – – – – – – – – – –
Meanwhile, I continue to be passionately opposed to drug prohibition. While you may or may not agree with me that there's nothing intrinsically good or bad about drug use, it's beyond dispute that there is something very, very harmful about prohibition. It enriches criminals, it increases addiction, it abandons neighborhoods and communities to criminals and violence, and it abandons drug users to the mercies of those same criminals — rather than offering them the help we give to other people with addictive illnesses. And of course the reason prohibition continues is because there's a huge amount of money in it for the law enforcement & prison complex that profits from it — even though we all suffer from the policy AND have to pay the taxes to support it and the hundreds of thousands of non-violent offenders in jail.
And the cruelest treatment is doled out to those connected with medical marijuana. So I concentrate on that in this letter.
Last year was predictably bad on the drug reform front. Some of the stories that I've been following over the years had nasty endings. The US Supreme Court in its continuing lack of wisdom ruled against Angel Raich, a medical marijuana patient in California, and in an amazing legal contortion declared that medical marijuana legally grown and consumed with no money changing hands in one state is somehow subject to the Interstate Commerce Act. So effectively it gave the DEA license to arrest any sick person using medical marijuana — something they've been doing more and more.
Up in Canada, after a several year struggle, the justice minister finally ruled against Renee Bojee. She was the hippy chick who was taking photos of the medical marijuana being grown by Peter McWilliams and Todd McCormick in Los Angeles. So far Peter is dead, effectively killed by the DEA and justice system who wouldn't let him use marijuana to treat the nausea he got from his HIV medication, with the result that he drowned on his own vomit. Todd was railroaded into five years in prison. Renee faces ten years for doing effectively nothing. She's trying to stay as a refugee in Canada. Her case is now in the Canadian courts and you can still donate to her legal fund here. The Canadians seem to be bending over backwards under American pressure to support prohibition. They've even help arrest Marc Emery, Canada's leading pro-marijuana legalization activist, and if they succeed in extraditing him no one on the planet is safe form disagreeing with the DEA.
Some people are trying to change all this. Take a look and think of supporting them.

Texas prepares for 'scariest environment imaginable'
AUSTIN — While watching film of No. 4 USC (2-0) and Heisman Trophy candidate Sam Darnold, Texas coach Tom Herman was reminded of a scene from one of civilization's greatest guilty-pleasure disaster flicks, "Armageddon."
Owen Wilson, one member of a ragtag team of blue-collar caricatures cobbled together by NASA to be launched into space so they could trigger a thermonuclear reaction on an asteroid hurtling toward Earth, asked a NASA scientist played by Billy Bob Thornton what to expect on the Texas-sized space rock.
"Two hundred degrees in the sunlight, minus 200 in the shade, canyons of razor-sharp rock, unpredictable gravitational conditions, unexpected eruptions," Thornton explained. "Things like that."
"Okay, so the scariest environment imaginable," Wilson responded. "Thanks. That's all you gotta say, scariest environment imaginable."
This Saturday, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will be Texas' (1-1) asteroid.
Some have billed the meeting as a rematch of the 2005 BCS National Championship, though few will accept that framing. Times have changed.
USC has won 68 percent of its games (64-30) this decade. UT is just four games above .500 with four losing campaigns.
USC has made five straight bowl trips, including last year's Rose Bowl win over Penn State. UT hasn't been to a bowl since 2014 and hasn't won one since 2012.
Herman is in the midst of trying to build UT back into what it was over a decade ago when Vince Young and Michael Huff and Aaron Ross were still roaming the field in burnt orange. USC, may never return to what it was under Peter Carroll, but it's inching closer to reoccupying a spot among the nation's elite programs.
Last weekend, the Trojans did to then-No. 14 Stanford what Wilson and Co. did to the inanimate antagonist of the film — they blew it the hell up.
Darnold threw for 316 yards and four touchdowns. USC ran for 307 yards. It outgained the Cardinal by 281 in the 42-24 win.
Herman's first victory, dominant as it was, did not register on the same level as USC's.
Following a baffling 51-41 season-opening loss to Maryland, UT unleashed its pent-up anger on the outgunned San Jose State Spartans. Herman saw a team that finally "cut it loose" en route to a 56-0 victory, the first home shutout at Royal-Memorial Stadium since 2012.
Despite his team's box-score dominance, Herman witnessed mistakes and misses that a 17-point favorite like USC would have exploited.
"Playing a team like USC, or really anybody left on our schedule, you're not going to be able to mask some of those fundamental and technique errors with just effort and talent like we were on Saturday," Herman said. "The guys see that. They're hungry. They want to keep getting better. They like the feeling of improvement.
"But they also know we've got to go into a hostile environment to play one of the best teams in the country that's playing really, really well right now. We're going to need to play, not just really hard and not just with the talent that we have, but we're going to have to play very fundamentally sound play after play after play to stay competitive in this ball game."
A competitive final score might be all the Longhorns can hope for right now.
Sophomore quarterback Shane Buechele's availability remains a mystery. Herman said his injured throwing shoulder is "getting better every day," but Tuesday's practice will be a "big benchmark" for his status.
If Buechele remains out, true freshman Sam Ehlinger would again receive the start with Jerrod Heard potentially receiving more reps as a wildcat quarterback.
Against SJSU, Ehlinger shook off a slow start to finish with 222 passing yards and one touchdown in addition to 48 rushing yards on seven attempts. Heard ran the ball eight times for 49 yards and two first-half scores.
"Now when Shane is fully healthy that'll allow (Heard) to go back and devote most of his practice time and meeting time to playing wide receiver," Herman said. "But knowing that we can jog him back there and take some snaps and add a change of pace for the defense, I think is a weapon.
"The good thing about him, which is different than most wildcat quarterbacks, is he can throw the football. If you want to put a bunch of human beings in the box to stop the run, he's capable of throwing it over your head."
Herman, who exited Houston with a perfect 6-0 record against ranked opponents, might need to unleash all his tricks to keep UT from collapsing on the road, a realm it struggled in under Charlie Strong (5-9 since 2014).
"I think the challenge is sticking to your routine," Herman said. "Every great player, one of the things that is commonplace — whether it's Michael Jordan or Peyton Manning, and Jerome Bettis has spoken to our staff and team — every great player has a routine. They do the same thing every day. If you can make just getting on a plane the only deviation in that routine then you've succeeded."
In "Armageddon," Earth's selected saviors boarded two space shuttles and pushed away from the planet on a mission they knew was nearly impossible. UT's stakes aren't quite as high, but the odds are overwhelming.
Does Herman think the Longhorns will be ready when they land on the Trojans' asteroid?
"We'll find out Saturday."

Student Spurred to Action After African Voyage
Derek Zipkin spent his first day of clinical shadowing in Africa facing a mother who had just learned that her 6-year-old daughter contracted HIV through a blood transfusion.
"I can see their faces clearly," says Zipkin, a second-year medical student in the UC College of Medicine. "The mother crying hysterically and the child, not knowing why her mom is crying, going over to comfort her mother when her mother found out she has HIV," says Zipkin.
Zipkin, 24, a Cincinnati native, spent two weeks in Tanzania in June with the Village Life Outreach Project, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit organization that makes trips to the Rorya district of Tanzania each June and October to provide supplies and medical assistance to villagers in the area. Zipkin signed on to this year's "June Brigade" following the end of the academic year.
Many Americans venture to Africa and return with tales of the continent's scenic landscapes, rampant destitution, surreal wildlife, fledgling health care systems and surprisingly comfortable temperatures. Zipkin's African excursion offered fair shares of all of the above, but he didn't return to the States with simple stories. His experiences brought a changed mind, broadened perspective and a resolve to call Americans to action.
As Zipkin had only just finished his first year of medical school, he was unable to directly administer care to patients. Instead, he shadowed Esther Kawira, MD, a U.S.-trained physician who moved to Tanzania to work full time at a number of clinics. One such clinic, Village Life's Roche Health Center, was completed last April and constructed by Village Life, its partners and volunteers and the local villagers.
Zipkin was exposed to many types of cases during his shadowing and gained a wealth of knowledge from Kawira and other medical officials in the area. "I got to scrub in on a surgery on my last day," he says. "That was a very cool and unique experience—definitely something I wouldn't get in the States for another year."
The surgery, which took place at Shirati Hospital, was easily one of the highlights of the trip for Zipkin. "It was on a 7-year-old boy who had a hernia," says Zipkin. "It was an uplifting thing because they were able to completely fix the issue."
While that case was surely memorable, other, more harrowing experiences had more of a lasting effect for Zipkin.
"The cases that stick out to me are the ones that tend to be very, very sad," he says. "Those cases are not only memorable, but also change your mind."
On the last day Zipkin shadowed Kawira, before going to Shirati Hospital, he met a 16-year-old boy with a large tumor-like mass on his right side. The mass felt as if it was connected to the teen's liver. "We immediately thought hepatic cancer. The mass took up most of his abdomen," says Zipkin.
With no access to magnetic resonance imaging, Kawira had to employ ultrasound to confirm the extent of the damage. The mass was,indeed contiguous with the liver.
"Hepatic cancer at that stage, even in the U.S., is untreatable," Zipkin says. "The mass was too large and took up too much of the liver. Dr. Kawira told us he had maybe a month to live. We've been back for about a month now." Given the lack of supplies and equipment, Kawira had to refer the teen to another doctor.
In the U.S., with the advent of annual general screening, complications such as hepatic cancer can be caught relatively early. "It's easier to detect tumors in children and, when caught early, hepatic cancer has a fairly high chance of being cured," says Zipkin. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case in Africa. "We're fortunate just to be born in the U.S.," he says. "It's just chance."
Zipkin's trip showed him just how far African medicine has to come. Americans have little to fear in operations like blood transfusions. HIV, while certainly a large issue in the States, is not the rampant scourge it is in African countries. Even with government policies in place to test all blood before an operation, contaminated blood still makes it into patients' systems. Such was the case with the 6-year-old girl on Zipkin's first day.
A year before arriving at Roche Health Center covered in swollen lymph nodes, the girl was waiting for a blood transfusion in a Kenyan hospital. "The hospital was out of blood, and needed to go out and buy some from off the street," says Zipkin. "It's hard because these governments try really hard, but because this blood slipped through the cracks a 6-year-old has HIV."
Tragic as they are, cases like that of the young girl and teenage boy have inspired Zipkin to help streamline health care in Africa. "I remember seeing the Great Rift Valley on our way to Tanzania and thinking, 'There's so much potential here,'" says Zipkin.
He believes many Americans want to see improved conditions in African countries, but do not know of any ways to help other than throwing money at the issues. "A lot of medical students in particular want to get involved in international health care, but don't know how to do it," says Zipkin.
To that end, Zipkin is working to create a Village Life interest group based under the Medical Student Association at the College of Medicine with the goal of connecting more students to Village Life. Through fundraisers, Zipkin hopes to help provide medical equipment and supplies to Kawira and other health care providers in the area.
Zipkin also plans to use fundraisers to help pay for trips to Tanzania for other medical students. "Even if it's just a couple of hundred bucks, students will see that somebody wants them to go on this trip and make a difference," says Zipkin. "I think that's a big mentality shift. Even though the financial gain isn't huge, the mentality of a lot of students will change."
"I think the important thing is bringing awareness to people, both here and over in Africa. Trips like these change minds and the more people that share the experience, the better the chance of making a difference."

Durex Developing Vibrating Underwear That Comes With iPhone Sex App
Durex thinks they have evolved the future of foreplay.
The condom giant has created the "Fundawear," an app for iPhones that comes with vibrating underwear.
The Huffington Post is reporting that Durex has recently launched an app-controlled vibrating underwear, for all those couples who, unfortunately, have their significant others away — whether it's away on business or living in another state or country.
Since posting a sneak peek video to the new sexy technology, Durex's video of the Fundawear has been swarmed with YouTube hits since last week Wednesday. The Huffington Post claims the clip has been seen over 500,000 times.
In the short video clip, an Australian couple is seen experimenting with the Fundawear app over what appears to be Skype or some form of video chatting program.
The couple is also wearing the Fundawear itself — the female sports the touchable bra and panties, while her boyfriend rocks the Fundawear boxers.
Once the couple had this on, they were able to assimilate touching each other by using their mobile phones.
No word yet on when Fundawear will be released since it's still in its early stages of development.

A team of US researchers has changed the DNA of single-cell embryos using gene-editing technique CRISPR, according to a report from MIT Technology Review.
This is the first known attempt at creating genetically-modified human embryos in the US.
None of the embryos were allowed to develop beyond a few days, but the scientists have demonstrated it is possible to safely correct defective genes using germline engineering.
Human embryos allowed to develop following this process would also pass on gene corrections to their offspring.
Germline engineering has the potential to eradicate genetic diseases and create "designer babies" with genetic enhancements.

Mass media accept challenge
Minsk hosted first international information forum
— Media influence public conscience, their main instrument being information. Journalists have the power to bring information to everyone, and it depends on personal efforts and persistence of every reporter whether media will be able to meet such challenges as terrorism and drug trafficking.
In Belarus this information policy is being implemented now, specialists attending the forum noted. Belarus has about 1,500 state and privately-owned newspapers, television and radio channels and magazines. More than 6,000 foreign media outlets and over 40 foreign TV and radio stations are available in Belarus. This means Belarus' information space is open, which is normal for a country located in the very heart of Europe. It is amid this information openness that professionals from the former Soviet Union were considering the place and role of the media in modern society. Besides the abovementioned challenges there have appeared new ones, especially information challenges via the Internet. Globalization of mass media and appearance of the so-called mediacracy may hamper free and objective dissemination of information, editor-in-chief of the authoritative Russian daily "Moskovskie Novosti" told the forum.
The problem of responsibility of mass media is getting more and more urgent now, and the participants in the conference approved a resolution to address the issue.

|William Roxburgh
Engraving by Charles Turner Warren
|June 29, 1751
|April 10, 1815 (aged 63)
|surgeon, botanist
|Doctoral advisor
|John Hope
|Author abbreviation (botany)
William Roxburgh (June 29, 1751 – April 10, 1815) was a Scottish surgeon[1] and botanist. He has been called the Father of Indian Botany.[2]
Roxburgh was born at Underwood in the parish of Craigie, Ayrshire. He studied medicine in Edinburgh. He had been a surgeon's mate on an East India Company ship at the age of 17 and had completed two voyages to the East in that capacity until the age of 21. He also studied botany in Edinburgh under John Hope. He joined the Madras Medical Service as an assistant surgeon in 1776 and became a surgeon in 1780.[3]
At Madras he turned his attention to botany. The East India Company recognized his botanical knowledge and made him superintendent in the Samalkot garden in the Northern Circars in 1781. Here he conducted economic botany experiments. He employed native artists to illustrate plants. He had 700 illustrations by 1790. He then succeeded Patrick Russell (1727-1805) as Naturalist to the Madras Government. He made rapid progress and acquired a good reputation and was in a short time invited by the government of Bengal, to take charge of the Calcutta Botanical gardens from Colonel Robert Kyd. In 1793 he succeeded Colonel Robert Kyd as Superintendent of the Company garden at Sibpur near Calcutta. A catalog of the garden was made in 1814 - Hortus Bengalensis. He sent many of his illustrations to Sir Joseph Banks. He was succeeded by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton.
He meticulously collected vast amounts of meteorological data for years, and is considered as a pioneer in the collection of tropical meteorological data, to an extent unrivalled elsewhere until the 1820s.[1] He had begun collecting detailed meteorological data as soon as he set foot in India, at Madras, and is known to have taken measurements three times a day, using Ramsden barometers and Nairne thermometers, made by then reputed scientific instrument makers, Jesse Ramsden and Edward Nairne.[4] He trained under John Hope, who was the curator of the Edinburgh botanical garden as well an experimental physiologist. Roxburgh's interest in systematic meteorology may have stemmed from the influence of John Hope as well as his experiences at the Royal Society of Arts which, in the early 1770s, was greatly influenced by the climatic theories of Stephen Hales and Duhamel du Monceau. Such detailed measurements over many years led him to form an opinion on widespread famine and climate change in the empire.[1]
He became a member of the Asiatic Society, to whose Transactions he contributed, from time to time, many valuable papers. Amongst these was one of singular interest on the lacca insect, from which the substance lac is made.
In 1805, he received the gold medal of the Society for the Promotion of Arts for a series of highly interesting and valuable communications on the subject of the productions of the East and a second gold medal in 1803 for a communication on the growth of trees in India. On the 31st of May, 1814, he was presented, in the presence of a large assembly, a third gold medal by the Duke of Norfolk (then, the president of the Society of Arts).
Soon after receiving this last honourable testimony of high respect, Roxburgh returned to Edinburgh, where he later died.
In 1820, at the Mission Press in Serampore, William Carey posthumously edited and published vol. 1 of Dr. William Roxburgh's Flora Indica; or Descriptions of Indian Plants. In 1824, Carey edited and published vol. 2 of Roxburgh's Flora Indica, including extensive remarks and contributions by Dr. Nathaniel Wallich. Carey and Wallich continued to work in the field of botany and in 1834, both Carey and Wallich contributed botanical specimens to the Royal Society for Agriculture and Botany's Winter Show in Ghent, Belgium.

As some of you may know, I've just become the newest writer for the Portland Press Herald online!
My column, "Undercurrents," runs in the Press Herald's Environment-Outdoors blog section. It's very exciting to be part of the team. It'll be nice both for me to reach a new audience, and hopefully to be able to bring some Flotsam Diaries fans to have a closer look at Maine's issues & stories -- and its impressive writers.
For me, it's also exciting -- and poignant -- to know that the sea will always provide plenty of grist for the Undercurrents mill. Here's just a bit of what washed into quiet, deserted, "protected" Curtis Cove, Biddeford, Maine on December 24:

Star Blocks - Trying to DecideTuesday, July 08, 2008
I've been busily piecing away with the quilt along. I started with a plan and stitched half of the setting blocks accordingly. Now I'm wondering if I'm on the right path. Let me know what you think.
(I have been dabbling with the mosaic maker rather start on remaking the setting blocks, just imagine that the B&W ones are a darker colour)
Should I go with the original random prints for the setting blocks?
Or should I go with the patterned centre and use a darker print for all of the smaller squares? (I did warn you that you might need to imagine)
I have a morning this weekend set aside for stitching and was hoping to get everything in order for then. Sticking with the status quo would be easier, no remaking but I'm wondering if the other option is better.
Note also - neither option involves buying more fabric.
10 comments
I have been looking at others who are participating in the quilt-a-long and wanted to comment on your blocks. The 1st photo with all your colorful setting blocks looks good; I personally would not go with the darker ones.
They both look good. The darker one highlights the stars more. They are the "stars" of the quilt. In the first one it seems to be a more scrappy look. I think I like the stars to be featured.ReplyDelete
I really like the first photo - I do agree that it gives the quilt a scrappy look whereas the second photo really makes the stars jump, but since you're going to the effort of making setting blocks, I would make them jumpy too! BTW - beautiful colour choices!ReplyDelete
I love the first photo! Love the effect! It is a happier look! I would definitely go with that one! It is your choice though.... 8-)ReplyDelete
Happy stitchings!
Hi I love the second one more just because it jumps out at me. Actually I like the first one too. Quite a scrappy effect. Trouble is I like both scrappy quilts and formal quilts too. I think you may have to go with your gut. Anyway love your quilting on your blogReplyDelete
Crafty cheery
I love the first collage...it's bright and cheery and more patchworky.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9 July 2008 at 12:02
I agree with the others. In the first picture the sashing blocks seem to match the randomness of your stars. I went back and looked at the original quilt Amanda Jean made, and there is still some work to do that will make the stars kind of float and that will make the stand out. Plus I hate re-doing blocks. Stick with what you'e got!ReplyDelete
that is really hard..I like them both. So I am no help at all.ReplyDelete
After a nights sleep and looking over everyone's comments, I'm sticking with the scrappy one. When I looked at the photos the next day, the coloured on just looked more like my style. Thank you for all your help. I would have been left wondering if I was just taking the easy option, as opposed to the best, otherwise.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you chose the scrappy look. that would have been my choice as well.ReplyDelete

Hey loves, hope you all had a great Easter and enjoyed the long weekend. How gorgeous is this floral midi dress from chichi London. I first saw this dress being worn my one of my favourite blogger (Jadorefashion) and I absolutely fell inlove with this dress.
I have always been a lover of good floral print and I love to incorporate happy colours into my wardrobe and the more colourful prints in a piece, the more I love it. I wore this dress to church on Easter Sunday and I felt so beautiful in it. This dress is perfect for any occasion or if your just looking for a great spring dress, it's perfect.
To style this dress, I have paired it with my pastel pump from kandeeshoes. I love the different soft and happy colours on this pump (one of my favorite pump).

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week.

On Sunday I went team chasing. I have wanted to do this for absolutely years. I used to look at the pictures in the Horse and Hound and be desperate to try it.
Sadly, with my confidence issues, having a family, travelling troubles with the mare, and everything else, it looked like something that would never happen.
We walked the course on Saturday. Some of the jumps were tiny, some were pretty meaty and full up to their 3'3" height (possibly with a little extra brush added to that) I felt kind of numb walking the course, like there were nerves there somewhere, but they weren't vying for attention. Perhaps the Benylin cough medicine helped :-D
Sunday morning I was up just before 6 to fill water containers, make lunch etc. Went to the yard, packed horse and horse stuff and on the road for 7.45am. We arrived shortly after 9am.
I was on board for 9.25am, and that is when the nerves hit. At that moment, I could happily have gone home!
My warm up consisted of walking for 40minutes, thinking about anything but jumping. I had one little trot and a pop over the practice jump, but then back to walk. The other team members started to get a bit jittery at this point, even the super confident one. I'm afraid I just had to walk away and do my own thing.
Then we started circling at the start, and we were off! I would like to say I started with some control and it slowly deteriorated, but I would be lying. She started with her nose level with her knees, and tanked - the whole time!
By jump number 2 I was upside rider 2, it was clearly a race (according to the mare) jump 3 was possibly the meatiest jump on the course. No hesitation there, although I think I swore rather loudly!
Jump 4 and 5 were a blur, think I jumped them. I then tried to circle to get some control before going through a gateway. The mare decided that what I actually was doing was pointing her at a hedge to jump. We were over it before I realised what was happening. It was a jump from the intermediate/open classes. She then locked onto a wooden fence around a tree, it took both hands on one rein to pull her away.
After a few more terrifying jumps and a slope where I honestly thought we were going to die, I dismounted and walked back. But I was beaming! Ok, so zero control, but Wow! The walk of shame has never felt less shameful :-D
Pictures are me jumping no.3, me stood with a team member in front of jump no.3, and me with my kids in front of the hedge I wasn't supposed to jump.

Two thirds of USBs infected
by Nick Farrell on08 December 2011
- font size decrease font size increase font size
So dirty they needed a scrub according to security outfit
More than two thirds of the USB flash drives found on trains down under were infected with one or more strains of malware and none was secured with encryption.
Antivirus outfit Sophos, which acquired three bags of USB sticks lost by commuters on trains in the Greater Sydney metro area at an auction organised by the Rail Corporation New South Wales. An analysis was performed on 50 USB sticks that ranged from 256MB to 8GB in size and revealed that 33, or 66 per cent, of them were infected, some with multiple types of malware. While many Apple fanboys who insist that their gear is safe from viruses and malware all seven which had been formatted using MacOSX were infected.
Paul Ducklin, Sophos' head of technology for the Asia Pacific warned Windows users not to trust anything that comes from Apple-loving friends. He warned that Mac users who is opposed to the concept of anti-virus software, consider softening your stance as they were spreading a lot of toxic material. He said that the likelihood of the USB sticks being left on trains on purpose by hackers or penetration testers so they are picked up by corporate users and plugged into their work computers, is very low.
Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at the company said that he could not not find any evidence to support the theory that the USB sticks had been deliberately planted. He said that the malware prevalence tells a simple story of poor PC hygiene. This is also the reason for none of the USB sticks being encrypted or password-protected. None of the files were interesting.

My Parkinson's spouse has many physicians, as PD has taken its toll on so much of his body. I go to most his medical appointments as I am his constant observer, and I am the one fighting for his health. I have decided to write about having a voice when speaking with physicians as I find this extremely important, not only for me to be aware, but most importantly for him to get the best care as possible.
First and foremost is having a sit-down conversation with your loved one. Lay it out to him/her. Explain how you understand this is their illness and their life, but it is yours as well. You are the one who is with them more than anyone else and you take responsibility and pride in your care and love for this person. Let them know you are not there to demean them, but to be their cheerleader and a proponent for them. Keeping those open lines of communication is key to this team work.
I am an active member and administrator of an online caregiver support group. I find when I have questions and concerns, that discussing with other caregivers, who have been in the trenches, are my best resource. I recently posed this question to them and received an abundance of great advice!
Do you have a voice when speaking with your spouse's physician? I really would appreciate tips and ideas. Here are a few of their responses:
- Best advice - get Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) and General POA that are effective immediately. Take pad and pen to write questions and answers and anything doc says. And make sure the office knows it's okay to talk with you. There should be a HIPPA form on file that gives docs/nurses permission to speak with you and anyone else your spouse designates.
- I always discuss the things I want to talk about at the appointment with my spouse prior to his visit so he doesn't feel like I am completely taking over. I always go with him to appointments too. His doctors are also aware that I am his caregiver and administer all his meds, so that really helps as well. There are times too that during appointments my spouse tried to minimize changes in his condition and I did speak very freely at that point. He knows that we are a team and I have his best interest at heart.
- I am my husband's legal guardian. It helps tremendously in all areas.
- I write down concerns that either one of us has. I have always gone to my hubby's doctor's appointments and have always been able to give input, even before I had a MPOA. Really, I think most doctors like to see the full picture so they can better treat their patients.
- I created a patient binder with all my husband's info. We have a "clinic notes" section to write in what we talk about with the doctors, and what follow up needs to happen. I have a time line of everything which is helpful for me to keep dates straight. The last time he had to go to the ER, the EMT asked if he could take it with him in the rescue. When I got there the nurse had it and was already entering his history into the computer. If you go prepared with a binder containing meds list, recent doctor/hospital visit discharge reports, medical history, etc., and provide more details, the doctor will listen to you and even ask questions.
- The trick is to not contradict your spouse but to phrase things in a way that add additional information.
I was so amazed by the outpouring of advice I received from these wonderful caregivers. I have learned a lot and am still learning, and being involved in a support group that is there for me has been abundantly helpful.
Keep your voice at the medical appointments for your loved one. In saying that, be considerate of all they are going through, it is very difficult on them. (We know how difficult it is on us). It is a fine line that we must walk on when caring for our loved ones. We want to encourage them to hold onto their dignity throughout this Parkinson's journey.
