The head of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has warned of a "bloody tough" year ahead for the health service, and urged politicians and the general population to not "rewrite history" in terms of representing how much funding the NHS has called for over the course of this Parliament.
The scale of the challenge presenting itself before the NHS in 2017 is vast. The NHS is facing huge financial and operational pressures. Several years of funding restraint and rising demand for services mean that it is increasingly difficult for NHS services to maintain standards of care. Waiting times are increasing and key performance targets for hospitals are being routinely missed. These pressures are being felt right across the NHS.
Key for the delivery of a NHS fit for the twenty first century will be the faster uptake and use of innovative medicines and technologies, particularly for at-home care and e-health. Uptake of innovative new medicines in the NHS is notoriously low and slow – taking on average over a decade and billion pounds worth of expenditure – and there is a serious risk that the need to find efficiency savings, as outlined in the Carter Review, will further compound this problem. The Accelerated Access Review may help shorten the length of time from bench to bedside innovation, but it will require close collaboration between government and industry.
The NHS needs to transform itself into an engine of innovation, by finally adopting the digitalisation of its services, enabling use of data to accelerate research, supporting new medicines and technologies and improving productivity and patient care. It also needs to become a long-term research partner with the life sciences sector by embedding a culture of research, focusing on areas of UK strength – experimental medicine, adaptive pathways, stratified medicine and genomics.
In order to maintain unhindered access to important EU markets, the medicines regulatory system needs to remain aligned with the current EU system. The government will have a key role to play in supporting UK companies reach new global markets through trade delegations and emerging bilateral agreements in a post-Brexit world. UKTI, and its dedicated Life Science Organisation, needs to export the best of the NHS and its expertise overseas, as well as supporting international companies to become part of the UK healthcare system.
A strong NHS underpins the quality of UK healthcare both because it ensures that medical advances are made immediately available to UK patients, and because the opportunity to work at the frontier of medicine attracts the best clinicians and academics in the world to the UK. The challenge for the NHS is clear; deliver better patient outcomes whilst spending less. Coupled with the general population's ever increasing expectation of what the NHS can deliver, ensuring the NHS in 2017 is an attractive and welcoming environment for life sciences companies and innovative is paramount.

I mentioned Dinneen's Irish dictionary here, and I still mourn my copy gone these thirty years and more, so it's some consolation that the late lexicographer has a Twitter feed, @AnDuinnineach: "Irish lexicographer, historian, caped-crusader. I've got words for things you didn't even know you needed to say. First published in 1904. WORD." A recent entry: "sclogtha, a., unable to gasp. Táim sclogtha leis an dtart, I am unable to gasp from thirst." Enjoy!
Didi you know that an electronic copy of Dinneen is available here:
I also have an OCR'd version; I'll see if I can find the link.
I've been following this Twitter account for a while and it's a consistent pleasure. "Words for things you didn't even know you needed to say" is an apt description: it showcases the language's wonderful range of obscurely precise Irish terms.
It would be great if the featured words and phrases were supplemented by a pronunciation note for people unfamiliar with Irish, or by etymological information, but space is at a premium on Twitter so these are understandable omissions.
Thanks, Amy! Here's a direct link, for anyone else who might be interested.
If you like Dinneen you may like Ian Duhig's poem, "From the Irish":
I do, and I was just wondering what to post (after deleting many hundreds of spam comments)—thanks!

Human Growth Hormone: Abusing The Possibilities (part 2 of 2)
Old people are prone to abuse HGH products because of their desire to slow down the aging process. They are made to believe that increasing human growth hormone levels will result in the reversal of aging. They believe that the intake of HGH can increase muscle mass, lean muscle tissue, energy levels and can produce a younger looking skin. However, these claims have not been truly proven.
The manifestation of the HGH abuse in the elderly people is simple. Their vulnerability to believe in advertisements and their desire to stay young is making them too gullible to succumb to the deceptive nature of advertising. HGH products and supplements claim that they can give beneficial results to halt aging process but these are not all true.
Another group that is prone to abuse HGH products and supplements are the athletes. Majority of the athletes want to perform well in able to contribute to the success of their team. They also want to achieve fame. The use of steroids has been banned from the sports world because it was proven that it really increased performance. HGH products and supplements have also been banned but there was no proof that it actually increases performance. Athletes tend to use the HGH supplements because of its perceived effect to muscle mass and strength. These increases however do not necessarily equate to increased performance.
Other groups that actually believe on the powers of HGH and abuse it are the parents. Parents who want their children to perform well and to grow taller use these products without proper prescription.
HGH abuse is clearly manifesting itself in different scenarios. What is common is that the HGH supplements have not been approved to be used in all of the situations mentioned and the use of HGH is not monitored by a doctor. Human growth hormone products have only been approved for medical purposes. Most of all the advertisements promoting HGH supplements as anti-aging and performance enhancers are just scam to sell a product. Do not take HGH supplements without prescription. Consult your doctor first.

Oscarcast tops '06 but misses 40 mil mark
EmptyFor the latest coverage of the 2008 Academy Awards, go to THR.com/Oscars.
NEW YORK -- Sunday night's Academy Awards telecast delivered so-so ratings for ABC, ahead of last year's abysmal numbers but failing to crack the 40 million-viewer mark as it has three of the past six years.
The telecast averaged 39.9 million viewers, according to preliminary data released Monday by Nielsen Media Research. That was 3% more than the 38.9 million who tuned in last year and essentially flat in adults 18-49 -- a 14.0 this year compared with a 13.9 a year ago -- but up in such other key measures as women 18-34 and women 18-49.
ABC said Monday that the Oscarcast was up 8% to a 12.9 rating in adults 18-34, the highest rating in that demo in five years.
Sunday still was well above the low point of 2003, when only 33 million viewers tuned in during the early days of the Iraq War. The high-water mark of the past five years was 2004, when 43.5 million people watched.
The telecast, which ran from 8:30 p.m. to after midnight EST, was still far and away the top awards show so far this season. It easily topped the 20.1 million viewers who tuned in to see the Grammys on CBS and the 20 million who watched the Golden Globes on NBC. The Primetime Emmys logged an average 16.2 million viewers Aug. 27.
ABC easily won the night in all major categories, though the final margin of victory won't be determined until Nielsen Media Research releases the final ratings today. Non-time-zone-adjusted ratings released Monday gave a big win to Sunday's "Barbara Walters Special" featuring interviews of Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Hudson, Helen Mirren and Eddie Murphy. It averaged 19.7 million viewers and a 6 rating/16 share in adults 18-49, far above its closest competitor -- Fox's coverage of NASCAR's Nextel Cup race at California Speedway. (12 million, 4.8/13).
On the other networks, "The Amazing Race" on CBS and "Grease: You're the One That I Want" were both down week-over-week.

Photoshop pranksters stun Swedes waiting for the bus - by placing them in bus stop poster ads before their very eyes.
Computer wizard Erik Johansson rigged a bus stop in Stockholm with a monitor, before covertly waiting in a van opposite and taking pictures of unassuming bus passengers.
[VIDEO: Aerial footage of flooding devastation in industrial Czech city]
Using high-speed Photoshop skills, the passengers look on in bemusement as their picture is plastered onto the bus stop poster in several hilarious poses.
One male Swede has his physique tweaked so he appears as a muscle-bound action hero, while two complete strangers are left red-faced when they are placed on a wedding cake together.
Hidden camera rigged up in the bus stop itself then capture the range of reactions as Swedes spot themselves super-imposed into several Hollywood-style bus poster ads.
The hilarious prank was the work of Adobe, the makers of Photoshop, and has since been viewed over 12 million times online.

- Start by displaying the "Peach pit hogshead" image, preferably full screen, without the title/caption.
- Ask students to look closely at the image and share what they see. Encourage them to back up their comments with specific visual evidence. Ask, "What do you see that makes you say that?" You may want to use the Library of Congress Analyzing Photographs & Prints process to guide students' looking. Assemble a list of questions that arise from the students' examination of the photograph.
- Next, display or distribute the advertisement for Murray's Boston Store in Willimantic. Once students have had a chance to read the advertisement, make a list of the new pieces of information students have gathered. See which questions from the initial list have now been answered, and make a list of additional/new questions.
- Select one, two, or all three of the short newspaper articles to share with students. You may wish to assign different articles to different students or have everyone read all of the articles. Ask students to:
OBSERVE: What information can they gather from the articles?
REFLECT: What do they think based on what they have read?
QUESTION: What does this article make them wonder?
- You may want to use the Library of Congress Primary Source Analysis worksheet to help students organize and record their thoughts.
- Look back at the students' list of questions for inquiry and/or at the suggested supporting questions. Discuss to what extent these primary sources help uncover answers to those questions or to the larger compelling question. Discuss additional questions the students have and sources or avenues for further inquiry.

- Drawing on their examination of the primary sources in this activity and other related sources (see below for some suggestions), students will design a World War I-style poster promoting the collection of fruit pits for the war effort OR encouraging women to take on war work in Connecticut factories. Need inspiration? Check out the Library of Congress's collection of World War I Posters.
- Students will research other Connecticut industries during World War I and compare them to the production of gas masks at the time. Who was employed? Where were the factories located? How did the products contribute to the war effort? Did the factories make something different before the war?
- Students will draft a letter to a state legislator or to the editor of their local newspaper advocating why—based on the study of history and the examination of primary sources—there should be a monument that recognizes the war efforts of Connecticut residents on the home front during World War I.

FCC Adopts Rules to Help Inform and Protect Consumers During the Transition to Text-to-911 Service
May 17, 2013
Source: Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Wireless Carriers and Providers of Interconnected Text Messaging Must Send Bounce-Back Messages to Consumers Who Text 911 Where the Service is Not Offered
On May 17, 2013, the FCC released a Report and Order requiring a bounce back message to consumers who try to text 911 where text-to-911 is not available. The FCCs requirement will help protect the public by informing consumers who try to text 911 whether or not the 911 authorities received the text message. If the message has not been received, consumers will receive an immediate response that text-to-911 is not available and to contact emergency services by another means, such as by making a voice call or using telecommunications relay services (if deaf, hard of hearing, or speech disabled) to access 911. This FCC action implements in part recommendations from the Emergency Access Advisory Committee (EAAC), which the Commission established under the Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010.
The four major wireless service providers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) joined with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officers (APCO) in December 2012 to commit to making available text-to-911 by May 15, 2014.

Hey there!
I'm Yasmin, I'm 16 and I'm from the UK. That's all the formalities out the way right?
So I've decided to start this blogging thing, albeit only as a hobby. Obviously I'll try to keep as regular as possible, but I'm not planning to take this forward to a career or serious job
(yet ahaha).
It's going to be a place for me to share thoughts and interests, give other people creative ideas, document my life, meet new people, connect to readers (if I get any!) and maybe even build up a community.
I'll mainly be blogging about lifestyle and fashion (such as OOTDs, summary's of my week, wishlists etc), but may throw in a bit of music and maybe even beauty to mix things up a little. Who knows, I may even end up doing some giveaways! Any suggestions or comments would be greatly welcomed, and you could even e-mail me at email@example.com
I've yet to set up any other social networks for this blog, but my personal ones can be found below :)
So hopefully next time I post something, it'll be a proper blog post! :)

New Delhi: The "PK" team have decided not to hike the ticket price for the Aamir Khan-starrer, which is coming out Dec 19.
"The team feels that the film is universal and everyone should be able to see it," said Aamir's spokesperson in a statement.
With the release of a big film, the theatres tend to hike the ticket price. However, the "PK" team was adamant not to effect any change in price.
Also starring Anushka Sharma, the Rajkumar Hirani directorial has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

Why hexagons?
Hexagons are a fascinating shape that helps illustrate the non-linear development of ideas and fire-painting sessions. Often one session is related more to an earlier session than its immediate predecessor. As I add sessions it is a helpful tool for me to chronicle the conceptual development of ideas and techniques.
Hex Archive
Charting Artistic Evolution
Every piece of art plays a part in the development of the next. Here all of the artist's work are archived using hexagons to show the interelation of his evolving ideas, technics, and styles. Each sessions is represented by a hexagon. The sessions are organized in three main categories: landscapes, abstracts and fire paintings. They are also laid out chronologically and placed spatially to show the interalation of development.
FirePainting Sessions
Firepaintings aren't pieces of art in the traditional sense. Each work results from a "burn session" where dozens to hundreds of photos are taken of the painting as it is destroyed. From this collection of shots, the vast majority are discarded. A select few make it online where they are grouped on the same page. These sessions are being constantly added to this website. You can access them from the top of the page, by clicking on the respective hexagon.
Abstract & Landscape Paintings
An archive of Russell Maier's traditional paintings is also kept and updated on this website. You can view these paintings chronologically here:

Human beings are a product of nature's design, so it makes sense that furnishings designed with an organic sculptural style become some of the most comfortable pieces. Form Us With Love have conceived this concept called the Moby Chaise Lounge which is based on a milled ribcage structure and bears a distinctive resemblance to the ocean's swell.
The soft mattress placed on top of the undulating gridded framework is of an aqueous blue color, further emphasizing this idea of a rolling wave. The lounger's surging surface falls sightly in the center which provides an cozy curvature form the sitter's bottom and hip. The predominantly horizontal inclination of the Moby Chaise Lounge invites the user to recline and relax, just as one might do while floating contentedly on the surface of the sea.

This fundraising event on April 26th at the Durango Arts Center was held to honor me as an artist and contributor to the arts in the Durango community for over 25 years. An exhibition and silent auction of tribute artworks was also part of the evening...the artists having donated an original work of art with proceeds benefiting the Arts Center. It was an amazing exhibition by amazing artists: Judy Brey, Sandra Butler, Nancy Deacon, Ron Fundingsland, Deborah Gorton, Louise Grunewald, Chyako Hashimoto, Barbara Klema, Pat Lorenzen, Jules Masterjohn, Carol Martin, Maureen May, Mary Ellen Morrow, Mariah Mullins, Karen Pittman, Linda Robinson, and Carol Salomon. A lovely comemorative program was produced which included poems by my friends Katherine Leiner and Grace Cavalieri and images of my art over 40 years. The documentary film, "Seeing the Forest for the Trees: The Art of Mary Ellen Long" was also shown. Maureen May, my long time friend in art, gave a very touching tribute talk. Needless to say, I was humbled and very overwhelmed by this outpouring of love. The committee worked very hard to make this a memorable evening included Regina Hogan, Chair, Karen Thompson, Christina Ertezek, Linda Geer, J.M. Jones, Pat Lorenzen, Carol Ozaki, Diane Panelli, and Janice Weeks. I thank them all.

That Elusive Freedom of Expression.
I am sure that everyone by now would have read the news about the Publishing house Penguin withdrawing a book because they wanted to avoid the hassles of legal complications. And if you open the morning papers you can read the news about groups of self appointed culture guardians shaming couples who were indulging in a little PDA on Valentine's Day. If you switch on the TV you can see the regularly roaring TV anchors mewling like pet cats when it comes to political interviews of future prime ministers. Even on the sports channels you can see that fearless batsmen of yesteryear's are now turned gentle spin-specialists when it comes to speaking the truth about the powers that be which run the sport – even after they have been caught red handed flouting all the rules. Everywhere you look there seems to be a general dumbing-down of criticism and comments. Self censorship has become ubiquitous. And free speech has been sacrificed at the altar of safety and political correctness.
The situation is such that not only free speech people are even afraid of free thinking and prefer to go along with the crowd. And for every such act of conformity the blame is laid on the archaic laws of the Indian Penal Code and the Defamation clause 294-A. If the courts don't support us when we speak our minds then why should we risk our necks by speaking the truth seems to be the general excuse of people who should know better. So is it true that all the blame for this assault on free thought and speech in modern India lies on our laws? Is there no more a culture of encouraging free speech in our country?
Any story about the freedom of speech has to start with the British rule in India. The British who ruled India for around two centuries were the first to systematically suppress free speech among the native populace. They did it because they were afraid that a free press would undermine their rule over the natives by pointing out its illegitimacy and oppressiveness. Media spin was its highest when in the accounts of the Sepoy mutiny the news about the starvation of Englishmen and women were widely reported while the systematic decimation and depopulation of entire native Indian populations in savage reprisals were never mentioned at all in the popular press (British owned and published) of the time. Any attempt by the Indians to tell their side of the story was ruthlessly suppressed with laws and laws and many more laws which made free speech a luxury unaffordable. What the British could not achieve by violence they often achieved by enacting laws and saying they were just following the rule of law and anyone who broke such laws was an anarchist and instigator of violence. Seems familiar?
It was indeed ironic that when such savage attacks on the vernacular press was going on in India; at the same time the British press at home was a vociferous supporter of free speech and often took liberties which would have fetched immediate transport to the Cellular Jail in the Andaman Islands if tried out in India by Indians. The Englishman then as now was always the epitome of hypocrisy, preaching what he never practiced which does raise the question of how the Americans can be so different, honest and forthright, when they came from the same stock basically. But that's digressing from our topic, so back to freedom of speech.
When the British finally left us and we got our independence from them, the founding fathers of our republic, stalwart leaders who had seen first-hand the need for a strong law to protect our freedom of speech included the right to free speech in the fundamental rights guaranteed to every citizen, of course with certain exceptions for the rarest of rare cases. But politics being what it is, very soon the politicians who ruled us realized that free speech was antagonistic to their continued well-being and used those rare exceptions commonly to assault our freedom till every single free newspaper and independent media started towing the establishments' line. But things didn't stop with that.
As our republic matured we began to see more and more attacks on our freedom with the difference that instead of free speech there were now gags on even free thought. Any citizen who expressed what was on his mind was expected to face the music which had the natural effect of damping free thought among the general populace. The few people brave enough or stupid enough to go against such restrictive rules were hounded in courts with multiple cases filed against them for hurting the sentiments of this or that group. If you write about the Prophet the Muslims are offended. If you write about the Hindu gods then the Hindus are offended. You call a poet or a film maker as not worthy of praise then his or her state mates are offended. Hell, you don't need to talk about anyone else but just celebrate Valentine's Day, everyone around you is offended. And they just have to file a complaint at the local police station, to have the police arrest you immediately, have the media sensationalize your arrest and finally make you spend years and years living in the courts fighting the cases filed against you.
This getting offended and feigning thin skin kind of legal approaches which are now routinely being supported by the courts has had the unfortunate effect of playing right into the hands of the extremists and narrow parochial interests (with venal politicians behind them at every instance) who exploit laws made for genuine reasons to achieve their base interests. The situation has deteriorated even more with the explosion of social media- after the Facebook status arrests and Twitter trolls attacks people are even afraid to express their minds on-line for fear of being arrested at midnight by the police force which has nothing else to do in a land where murderers and rapists walk around in broad daylight with impunity.
All of this begs the question - are we really a free nation now? When the people have no choice to speak or even think for themselves do we really deserve the right to call ourselves free? If every two-bit political group can claim hurt interests can the courts continue to support them and punish free citizens? Is the freedom to think for ourselves disappearing completely from our society? Is being politically correct all the time the only way to save our skins? I don't know the answers to any of these questions. But I am both angry and scared that I live in a country where my thoughts have to be automatically censored to avoid being bodily harmed by ruffians and rowdies who don't think the same way as I do.
And to have all this supported by the courts (and the authority of the law) which instead of guaranteeing free speech for every citizen is automatically taking the side of the lumpen elements is more and more scary. I have heard of the term banana republic (places where people can be hung by mobs for uttering the wrong word) before and I am afraid I am seeing one being formed right before my eyes. I grieve for my nation, for its lost ideals and disappearing freedoms. And I am angry at the judges, courts and laws for supporting this assault on free speech and free thought. When will the law stand up for the rights of the common man? Whither my country?

In the event you had been anticipating the pilot as feverishly as I was, you could happen to be a little disappointed to get just what you had been expecting – brooding characters, a completely glum tone and lots of perplexing story line clothing – but it's way too early to actually exalt or curse The Leftovers. Above everything else in the pilot, in the end, the awareness the characters are merely nearing the conclusion of the calm before some apocalyptic thunderstorm comes through most clearly.
Yet, let's look at the way in which the pilot unfolded before we delve into what that thunderstorm may be. We start in a laundromat along with her infant using a scene of a girl. As she gets into her car and speaks together with her husband on the telephone, the infant that is normally verbal stops screaming. She looks across the automobile but doesn't see him. "Dad!" she hears in the different side of the parking lot, looking up to visit a young lad staring anxiously at a still-rolling shopping cart without one behind it. Subsequently an unmanned car smashes right into a one that is parked. Her terror increases, so that as folks flock to the auto to aid her hunt for the little one, she can just cry, "Sam!" We hear tons of men and women clamoring to convey news of lost family members as the scene fades to black.
It's indicative of The Leftovers that Lindelof decides to start his series in regards to the consequence of an event which could function as Rapture not with prevalent mayhem but with one scene of a mom unexpectedly faced with all the disappearance of her baby son. It's a , dreadful, depressing solution that is shuddery to start a string that lots of will likely describe with those three adjectives that are same.
A Ny suburb called Mapleton, the chain' setting, is certainly designed to function as a microcosm for human society all together. What it amounts to is 140 million individuals world-wide, all gone in the blink of an eye, although a newswoman reads the data for what's become known as the Abrupt Departure. Summer though it's definitely the day looks gloomy and cold. He stops to greet it and sees a dog at the center of the road. "Come here, it's fine, I'm not planning to damage you he assures the dog – but mid-sentence, a bald guy using a sniper rifle down the road blasts away in front of him the dog. The guy gets in his pickup truck and drives away before Kevin can respond.
We meet with Laurie, who's sleeping in a space having several others. Awakened by her bed partner's snoring, she lights a smoke, her eyes dull. Jill Garvey is confronting another day in school. There's nary a reaction in the course. But the principal continues, " And for individuals who would like to, why don't we pray for forgiveness and clemency and the return of people who left us." Several pupils shut their eyes and kneel to a floor. Jill isn't one of them – when Nick, the lad before her, mimes shooting himself she grins and reacts by vividly feigning to hang herself, lolling tongue and all. It much, and he immediately turns around, weirded out. Jill's pal Aimee gives Jill a thumbs up.

FG generates N2trn through Treasury Single Account
The Federal Government has generated over N2 trillion through the Treasury Single Account (TSA) since the commencement of the policy, Minister of Information Lai Mohammed said on Monday.
He made the disclosure at a Town Hall meeting held on Monday in Lagos.
Treasury Single Aaccount, financial policy kicked off on Sept. 15, 2015.
The policy is meant to consolidate all inflows from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) by way of deposit into commercial banks, traceable into a single account at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
"This administration has decided to plug all financial loopholes through the Treasury Single Account (TSA), into which over N2 trillion has accrued so far.
"Funds that ordinarily would have gone into private pockets are now finding their way into the public treasury, to be used for the benefit of all.
"Also, about 36,000 ghost workers have been discovered and weeded out, saving the government millions of naira,'' the minister said.
According to him, the budget has recorded a first with the capital expenditure being increased to 30 per cent.
He said, "Beyond that, there are six social intervention areas that will directly touch the lives of millions of citizens and lift them out of poverty.
Mohammed noted that 500,000 graduates would be employed and trained as teachers.
The minister added that 370,000 non-graduates (artisans, technicians) would be trained and employed, while one million people (farmers, market women, etc) would be granted loans to set up small businesses.
He also noted that there would be Conditional Cash Transfer to the most vulnerable people; school feeding targeting 4.5 million school children; as well as Bursaries/Scholarships for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students.
He urged all Nigerians to rise and be part of the war against corruption.
"All of us must be part of the war. It is not Buhari's war. It is not APC's war. It is Nigeria's war of survival and defeat will only sentence all of us and our generations yet unborn into perpetual penury.
"Our nation's economy or whatever is left of it, poses a great challenge.
"For one, we have lost a sizable chunk of our earnings to the massive crash in the price of oil.
"Think about this, if you lose 70 per cent of your monthly salary, your life can never be the same again,'' Mohammed said.
He noted that at its worst level, oil crashed from over 100 dollars to about 30 dollars a barrel.
"It (oil) has recently inched up to about 40 dollars per barrel but that is still very low, compared to a high of over 100 dollars per barrel.
"For a mono-product economy, this is nothing short of disaster,'' the minister said.

Tyson Brown
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Dr. Brown is an assistant professor of sociology and the director of the Center on Health & Society. Brown's research examines how and why ethnoracial stratification and other axes of inequality combine to shape wealth and health over time. This research interest is expressed in three foci:
1) investigating the intersecting consequences of social factors on wealth and health,
2) examining whether inequalities increase or decrease over the life course, and
3) determining the extent to which structural and psychosocial mechanisms underlie social inequalities in wealth and health

One of the most beautiful modern villas in Casasola, a beachside gated residential complex with 24 hour security. Built in 2016 with highest quality materials and with all current trends. The house is located on a plot of 1.800m2, only few minutes' walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, tennis club and supermarkets, and just 5 minutes from the historic center of Marbella and Puerto Banús.
The house is very well divided into two areas: the first area - is a huge living room, becoming a spacious dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, there is also a toilet, wine cellar and 2 bedrooms. On the first floor there is the master bedroom with perfect planning, dressing room and bathroom.
The second area of the villa is located in the other wing of the house and is a separate room with bathroom. Currently, this space is used as a sports area. It can also be converted into a guest apartment as it has its own entrance from the first floor which does not interfere with the master bedroom.
This villa is a wonderful confirmation of the perfect combination of design, style, quality and price.
The New Golden Mile is the stretch of coastline on the Costa del Sol, between the west of Marbella and the town of Estepona. Dotted with a host of superb restaurants, trendy beach clubs, luxury hotels, shops, boutiques and amenities, life here is easy, fun and ideal for both holidays and permanent residence. Some of the exclusive beachside hotels and resorts include the five-star Hotel Kempinski, Las Dunas Hotel and the Selena Thalasso Spa. The beach clubs include Laguna Village, Puro Beach and the Villa Padierna Palace´s Beach Club which belongs to the only 6 * hotel in Spain, Villa Padierna.
The popular area features frontline beach residences and urbanizations including exclusive villas, townhouses, modern apartments and penthouses with breathtaking sea views. An excellent price to quality ratio here makes the smart choice for the discerning buyer seeking a beachside property on the Costa del Sol. Estepona, Puerto Banús and Marbella centre are all within a five to fifteen minute drive and Málaga and Gibraltar airports are easily reached within 45 min.

A stat dec in my grandfather's RAAF records along with warrants and notes of how often he was AWOL declared he is one and the same as the birth record we find under HART. The surname his children carry and believed theirs was DILLON. Not even his first name is the same.
One son was told he was named for his father and grandfather.
How was this all kept secret?
My grandmother spoke often of my grandfather. He was a good man sober. The best. She loved him dearly, but drunk; he was a basher. He beat her and he beat the kids. She loved his eyes. He'd asked her to marry him twice before she agreed.
My mother was born in Wagga Wagga, the address on her birth certificate is an area on the river known as "Tin Town". A humpy. My grandmother told us stories of living in a tent, on the river, rabbiting to feed kids, watching toddlers on the river and him drinking the little money they had.
Five kids. Each born in a different town. A humpy on the TSR at Binnaway.
So, why this itinerant life? Why the humpies and tents? She came from much better than this.
Grandfather's mother died when he was a young boy. He was raised by his step father, alone and probably drunk.
First and surnames changed to match those of the step father. I wonder what they were running from?
Or to?

anger and (billboard) liberation in troubled times
I love New York. The shear amount and cleverness of graffiti and billboard liberation always blows my mind.
Check it out: everyday on my commute to work I walk through the 6th Ave underground passage from the L to the 1. Late at night on Wednesday, I was returning to New York from a work trip to Washington, DC, I saw this there
(out of the white house but not off the hook, arrest cheney and bush for crimes of high treason)
For months I've been seeing the original movie poster:
It seems there's also a lot of anger (or is it cynicism) over the financial crisis in Williamsburg:
(yeah, thats greenspan)

Hi All!!!

(and for your viewing pleasure, heres a photo of the view of oakland from the apartment I moved out of today)
On Anti-Social Networking
First a hypothesis:
Social networking platforms conduce a certain amount of civility from their users. I'm guessing the public nature of it makes no one want to look mean. But also, I would believe, people get sucked in to the reputation, popularity and in some cases increased usability that a large social graph implies (by the later i mean some web apps work better the more people are using them). So we shy away from being impolite and spamming our friends with fuck you or annoying applications. This politeness, at least for some of us, seeps into our approach to social networks as a whole. This is all good and dandy when we are only using facebook or myspace to keep in touch with people or for entertainment but it hinders some of the best potential that social networking has: to organize peer 2 peer movements and to use its inherent reputation systems to hold individuals or entities accountable. Because social movements are always in someway linked to social antagonisms it helps to organize expressing those antagonisms. Because maleficent individuals and entities (our corporate masters!) respond to negative attention and change policy, accountability can be served by antagonism.
enter enemybook...
... a few days ago I saw that a friend of mine had added the enemybook application on facebook, a fb whore myself I got curious and added it myself. The app was developed by MIT Grad student Keven Matulef, he writes on enemybook.info:
Enemybook remedies the one-sided perspective of Facebook, by allowing you to manage enemies as well as friends. With Enemybook you can add people as Facebook enemies, specify why they are your enemies, notify your enemies, see who lists you as an enemy, and even become friends with the enemies of your enemies.[you can also flip-off your enemies, the anti-social networking equivalent of poking]
I immediately added the friend mentioned above and margaret thatcher as enemies, then quickly forgot about the app for a few days. But today I got to thinking that enemy book might work as a viral platform for public and corporate accountability campaigns.
So to experiment and thinking of a particular labor rights campaign against coca-cola, I returned to enemybook, and found, deep on its message board, that I could add "fan of" pages, which for many corporations serve as marketing on fb, to to my list of enemies. It takes a little side-step though:
1. copy the unique user id of a page. that is number found in the url such as http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coca-Cola-R/8516303118?ref=s
2. Paste it into the box on the "Enemy Others" part of the add enemies page.
Then your given the option to state why they are your enemy. So I pasted in the first paragraph from the about page of the killercoke.org campaign as well as its url. And presto coca-cola was my enemy.
Now this anti-social networking isn't going to be the killer app of online organizing but its a fun viral way to spread word of a campaign or as a fun kind of petition. As users, non-profit and social change pages, as well as their use of apps like causes and ultimatums, develop those will definitely be the best places to spread information and get people to collaborate on activism. But I imagine apps like enemybooks can also be hijacked by activists as parts of their toolbox.
I must say, that the developer's blog, enemyblog, is skeptical of such a use:
Hot on the heals of Enemybook's appearance in Timeout London, I've been asked by a fairly well-known NGO to make a more serious version of the program. The goal of this NGO is to prevent genocide, and their hope is that a more serious Enemybook will act as a sort of war criminal "watch list." The idea is to help educate the public about some of the alleged perpetrators of atrocities being committed internationally (specifically in Darfur), and get people to put pressure on the UN to stop these atrocities and bring the appropriate people to justice.
Admittedly, I have my doubts about the efficacy of a Facebook app in furthering this (or any) humanitarian cause. But if there's one app that can stop genocide and bring world peace, Enemybook is it. Time permitting, I'm going to see what I can do for this organization. More details to follow in the coming weeks.
In fact, Kevin treats the app as a parody of facebook and its how it solicits users to be polite and except almost all friend requests, a valuable statement in itself. from the boston globe:
He describes the program as "an antisocial utility that disconnects you to the so-called friends around you."
Matulef, 28, got the idea from undergraduates at the dorm where he tutors, after hearing one student talk about how someone was a "Facebook friend," but not a "real friend."
But because of the fun virality reasons stated above, I disagree that enemybook couldn't be useful to activist. But I also disagree with the NGO that a more serious version is needed (I am reminded of Ethan Zuckerman's recent Cute Cat Theory of Internet Activism: if a platform is not used to spread pictures of cute cats, meaning if it is not used for p2p entertainment, it is not working, if the platform is not used for activism, it is not good). Rather what is needed is better functionality.
1.: creating an automatic way to add pages as enemies (no unique id cut and paste)
2.: easy to link to other pages, causes and activist resources on fb or the net.
3.: A better list of public figure enemies, keeping it thorough, searchable and with catagories such as corporations.
And the best for last:
4.: Add the ability to coordinate mass flip-offs. Such a coordinated effort would flood the pages inbox, these messages would take time to remove, and affect the targets confidence and ability to use facebook. It would effect their marketing departments bottom line and might qualify as electronic civil disobedience. As a added bonus, it might discourage corporate presence on fb.
blf on worldchanging
a few days after i posted on the billboard liberation front, regine, of we-make-money-not-art wrote a great piece which discusses blf's history and practices.
i found this bit of advise on billboard improvement worth reposting here (but you really should read the article):
- Minimize property damage and respect the sign men. BLF make modification which are easy to remove and always leave some beer or liquor for the men who have to come and clean their "improvements."

Then we went out to the LES skate park, and ripped his pants and got all sad and went home because they were his favorite pants. I don't know if that's cool or strange at all?"

The animation, posted on the New Zealand company's internet website for Hallowe'en and still on display, depicts Sir Edmund's decaying corpse flanked by the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the late Australian actor Heath Ledger.
The three are seen climbing out of their graves and gyrating to the tones of the Michael Jackson song Thriller.
Sir Edmund died in January, aged 88.
His son Peter Hillary called the advertisement "a little grotesque".
"I don't think it's funny and I'm not very impressed," he told the Dominion-Post newspaper.
"It is early days and it's still pretty raw. It's extremely poor taste really.
"The reality is they've put it on the internet. It is now uncontrollable. The damage is done."
The company, Hell Pizza, is no stranger to causing controversy with outrageous advertising.
Previous promotions have featured Adolf Hitler, the death of the "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, and a mail drop giving away condoms which upset the Roman Catholic Church.
Sir Edmund, who became the first man to climb Everest on the eve of the Queen's coronation in 1953, is regarded as a national hero by New Zealanders.
Glenn Corbett, retail operations manager of the TPF Group which owns Hell Pizza, said: "Clearly he's revered in New Zealand and we all love him. It's the sort of thing that Hell does to create a little bit of fun and a little bit of humour."
Tom Scott, a cartoonist and close friend of Sir Edmund, said: "It's way too soon to make fun of a great New Zealander. They wouldn't dare do it while he was alive, and they should be doubly cautious when he's dead."

Student-athletes transfer dilemma in high schools
4 comments:
- Danielle Davis said...
Well said. I don't know why everyone is pretending as if this started in JA. People still think a traditional education is the only choice for students. They don't realise that the respective sporting activity is now a career for the professional athlete. If someone's dream is to play in the NBA one day then why shouldn't they get the opportunity to go to a school that offers the best basketball programme? From the exposure there they could probably get a scholarship to go to a college in the US and increase the potential to realise that dream. As you said, Proper monitoring needs to happen to facilitate what is best for the child. Not everyone wants to be a doctor or lawyer.

Once again, a great piece of opinion! I especially like the following quote:
"In deciding to move a child, careful consideration should be given whether the move is an advantage to the child in the pursuit of higher education. By the way, higher education in this instance can also relate to going after dreams of being an athlete, famous dancer, soulful singer etc."
I guess it's as hard in Jamaica as anywhere else in the world to persuade parents of the advantage of the pursuit of such a non-traditional career. In Germany (as I only have data from here I don't dare generalizing them) there is a statistically validated positive correlation of sucess in sporting endeavours and academic achievements. Most parents miss this fact and perceive the choice as an 'either-or' decision. In my opinion both fields should be more interconnected (everywhere in the world).
Greetings, Yash

When you work for a small community, you become involved any many different activities. On of those was helping the Duckwater Tribal school with recreation. I had experience with community recreation in Hyrum, Utah where I grew up. I also drew lots from materials I borrowed from Clyde Buff, who had graduated in recreation from Utah State University. I too had taken a class in this topic.
My first year in Duckwater I was pressed for some consistent things to do. As a result I volunteered for doing physical education at the Duckwater Shoshone School. Usually I would try to fill the time with activities. These were games and activities I found in a large book Clyde had from school. We played some pretty fun games. One of the favorite was "pomp" a game I played growing up in Hyrum. We went through lots of games, and then picked the ones we liked best. We played a crab walk soccer and chase games, and pomp became a favorite. He also did several different types of relays. We also played freeze tag. During the winter we had the use of the tribal gym. During the summer we played outside. Then we played softball. We also played soccer and tag.
One year Jan Halstead helped sponsor an American Lung Association Olympic marathon. This event was a joint County School and Tribal School event. The kids took pledges and then participated in several different Olympic type events. These included broad jump, Frisbee throw and a short dash. I helped train the kids and then participated as a judge for some of the events.
Another joint event was a jump rope-a-thon. Jan also helped sponsor this. Some of the kids took part in this as well. We had fun in P.E. jumping rope and practicing for this. Rondee Graham, one of the younger children, was a very good jump roper. When we did the jump-a-thon groups of four would take turns so one of the four would be jumping all the time.
