I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s. I love how friendly they are, how they have samples all the time and their large variety of cheeses. The other day I even found tiny brie wheels! I’m not quite sure what it is about miniature food, but call me obsessed because I love it! If all food came miniaturized I would legitimately use those tiny shopping carts meant for kids and fill them up with more than just two items.
I don’t actually use the miniature shopping carts. Sometimes when it’s super close to closing time, I’ll longingly stroke one, but only when there’s no one else in the store. The other day, after I surreptitiously petted a mini-cart, I picked up some smoked mozzarella, ground chuck and arugula for another one of my miniature obsessions: sliders.
These sliders are simple super simple: just pat ground chuck into tiny patties and fry them up. Top them off with caramelized onions, smoked mozzarella and arugula and call it a day. I love the slight bitterness of the arugula next to the sweet caramelized onions. If I can’t use miniature carts at least I can make miniature burgers. Win!
Heat up the oil over medium-low to low heat in a medium sized pot. Add the sliced onions and caramelize until deeply golden brown, 20-30 minutes. This is pretty hands off, all you need to do is stir it every so often.
Divide the beef into 12 equal portions and gently form into patties. Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add several patties, making sure not to over-crowd. Cook until golden brown and then flip, add the cheese, cover continue to cook until the burger is cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns. Assemble by placing the burgers on the buns and topping with caramelized onions and arugula. Enjoy hot!
The slider buns you’ve got here look so legit! Source? TJs makes the BEST burger buns, but obvi in regular burger size. I too love TJ’s, especially their cheese section, and one time a kid ran over my heel with his miniature cart….. I was about to buy four bottles of cheap, delicious champagne, though, so I tried not to be too angry. I love your flavor combos here!
Love mini thing especially burgers. I have no idea about burger buns from the USA But in Australia you have to make your own to get good ones.
That last picture is awesome; the oil and frying the burger simply magnificent!
Wow excellent entry. I love TJ’s too! I really like the photograph, especially the cast iron shot with all the splatter. Keep up the good work.

text: At what age should productive assets be retired? How should replacements be chosen when they differ in their uncertain ability to generate future incomes? As a particular version of that problem, we study the tree harvesting decision with two possible replacement species whose values as timber are stochastic and whose growth functions are deterministic. In the single-rotation (Wicksell) problem starting with a bare piece of land (an empty shop), it is optimal to choose and plant one species immediately if its current value is sufficiently high relative to that of the other species (the alternative equipment). However, if the species are insufficiently price-differentiated, it is preferable to leave the land vacant (the shop empty) despite the opportunity cost of doing so. In the repeated version of the problem, it is never optimal to leave the land bare provided the cost of replacement is null. Furthermore, the optimal harvest (tree retirement) age not only depends on the price and current productivity of the trees in place but also on the price and productivity of the other species, because it may replace the current one. The harvest age reaches a peak at some critical threshold of the relative price that signals the necessity to switch to the alternative species; indeed this is when the opportunity cost of choosing one alternative replacement over the other is the highest. The land value (and also the value of the firm) is similar to an American option with free boundary, infinite expiry period, and endogenous payoff. The paper highlights the opportunity cost of alternative replacement options, and the central role of their volatility in both asset-retirement and replacement-choice decisions. All results are derived analytically; a numerical treatment by the penalty method completes the resolution.

After the end of the successful pump trials, Kijigari fathers, mothers and children are back to traveling 20 - 30 miles a day in search of water. Yet water lies 180 meters at the bottom of a deep pipe installed right in their village. Every day Denis, Moumine, and I get messages from the villagers asking when we will be able to bring the water to the surface. They are counting the time, not in months or days, but in seconds and minutes. The lives of their children lie in our hands.
Pure and permanent water in Kijigari is only $50,000 away. You can help Amman Imman make the water flow. Over the next two months we intend to build the water tower, pump, faucets and animal troughs - before the height of the dry season - BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Network, A Walk For Water and the Amman-a-thon have been named official Earth Day events.

The first edition of the Astrobiology Primer was published in 2006 providing a comprehensive introduction to the field. Sponsored by the NAI, the Primer was spearheaded by editor-in-chief Lucas Mix, and represented the work of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and countless contributors. Intended as a reference tool, it provided information in 7 topics: Stellar Formation and Evolution, Planetary Formation and Evolution, Astrobiogeochemistry and the Origin of Life, Evolution of Life Through Time, Planet Detection and Characterization, Diversity of Life, and Science in Space. You can download a copy of the 2006 primer here.
Revised in 2016, the second edition of the Primer contains revised content that addresses the definition of life in scientific research, the origins of planets and planetary systems, the evolution and interactions of life on Earth, habitability on worlds beyond Earth, the search for life, and the overall implications of the research. The Primer is intended to be a resource for early-career scientists, especially graduate students, who are new to astrobiology. However, the publication can serve as a resource for anyone seeking to understand the framework of the field. Download the new 2016 primer here.

As soon as we’re back from our snorkeling trip, our disappointment about the poor under water life we’ve just witnessed in the Okakari Point Marine Reserve is gone. The little hike back to the camping makes up for it. The big, green paddocks make us feel small and vain and a nice silence falls over us.
Sparrows and other little birds fly around our feet, trying to feed on insects. Big, brown cows graze peacefully in the paddocks. Where the Dutch black and white cows have problems walking up and down mountains, these New Zealand cows run up and down rocks as easy as goats do. Only stopping here and there to put some more grass in one of their seven stomachs.
The camping we’re on is just as idyllic as the walk. An enormous field offers space to whoever wants to camp here. A romantic fire on the side of the field, in front of the big hale with pool table and games for kids, works as a magnet in the evening drawing all guests to the magic flames.
The caravan that is our house for this night almost falls apart. But being such a ruin it actually has some kind of charm. The outside was once painted green. Inside it’s painted freshly blue with green cupboards.
The only thing that really has had its best days is the bed. With two mattresses on top of each other it comes closer to quick sand than a bed. The only reason why the two of us don’t disappear in the black hole in the middle of the bed is that it is so off to one side we roll out of it before we’re absorbed by the it. It does mean we don’t really sleep at night and we crawl out of bed next morning with a terrible back pain and sleepy head.
But life is good for us again next morning. When we enjoy our first cup of tea of the day we meet Harold and Marieke: a Dutch couple that came to New Zealand a year ago and that’s waiting for a permit to stay in New Zealand permanently. Both have found a job and are enjoying a little holiday in their own country. There is just one thing wrong with their trip. They have bought a speedboat to go fishing and wake boarding. Fishing is no problem, but with wake-boarding they don’t seem to be able to get out of the water and onto the board. A nice challenge for Mickey and me; both wake-boarders.
Briefly he explains me what to do. Asks Lisa – his daughter to have another go at wake-boarding – and lets me drive the boat. After two small rounds he’s seen enough and dives in the water, leaving me behind the wheel. Behind the boat is familiar ground, but the wheel is new for me. The beginning feels a bit rough, but quickly I get control of all the horse powers in my hands and pull Harold – maybe a little rough – through the deserted bay. Happy as a little kid he climbs, half an hour later, back on board. Finally his kids managed and finally he managed to do some wake-boarding.
To celebrate and thank us the couple treats us that evening on a great barbecue and a nice cold beer. Before we return to our crappy caravan the family makes us promise to visit them when we’re around Auckland, so they can have another lesson.

The Secret to A High Energy, Feel Good Day!
I have read about it and discussed it numerous times. I highly recommend it. “It” is eating breakfast.
I have long been a proponent of eating breakfast. When discussing the topic with patients I always mention a study that concluded that those skip breakfast are 80% more likely to become obese than those who do eat breakfast.
From what I have read from studies, and what I have observed anecdotally, breakfast sets the stage for how we feel throughout the day. Eating breakfast can affect concentration, focus, energy levels, food cravings, and more throughout the day. Eating breakfast can set us up for having a lethargic, hum drum day or having a high energy, feel good day.
Skipping breakfast will cause the body to go into a starvation state. It will extend the fast from nighttime through to the next meal. This can cause the body to prepare for an upcoming fast. When a body is preparing for a fast, whatever food you eat will be stored as fat to prepare for starvation. So whatever food you eat after fasting all night will be stored as fat instead of burned for energy.
For every point there is a counter point. One of the cool aspects of the human body is that everyone is so different. There is a saying in anatomy that we are as different on the inside as we are on the outside. I use this saying to demonstrate how vastly different we can all be on the inside. This means that even though something will affect one person one way, it may affect someone else completely differently.
This happens with medications. Two people can react completely different to the same medication. We all have different body chemistry.
This pertains to eating breakfast. Even though, for most people, eating breakfast is the right thing, breakfast is not for everyone.
Starving yourself overnight and then skipping breakfast will cause most people to store food as fat and then to binge when they finally do eat. But others are doing it purposely in order to control their weight and positively affect their health.
Some people are using intermittent fasting to control their weight. I personally do not like fasting. I always get sick to my stomach when I don’t eat. I don’t like the feeling. I am able to control my health and weight through proper eating and exercising, without making myself uncomfortable and nauseas through fasting.
Recently there has been a movement of people who use intermittent fasts to positively affect their health. An intermittent fast is when someone will purposely skip breakfast and not eat until lunchtime. Some people will skip breakfast and lunch, only eating dinner. People report better weight control, lower triglyceride levels, reduced blood pressure, reduced oxidative stress, increased metabolism, etc.
For some people, this approach has many positive health benefits. I feel that this approach will not be good for most people. When most people skip a meal, they will more than make up for the lack of calories later on in the day. Their blood sugar will drop and they will eat anything that can raise their blood sugar, and energy levels, back up. Most of us will not have the self control to moderate how much we eat after fasting. I know that if I skip a meal, I will overeat at the following meal.
There definitely are those of us who are not breakfast people. Some people get sick to their stomach if they eat breakfast. If you are like that, then don’t try to force breakfast down your throat in the morning. Try to eat something substantial later in the morning. Something like an apple, banana, whole wheat bread and nut butter, yogurt, nuts, vegetables, fruit, etc. If you can eat something small 2 hours or so before lunch, you will be less likely to binge and overeat at lunch, or at dinner.
For most of us, eating breakfast will set the tone for our energy levels, metabolism, and concentration for the day. Eating a good, substantial, healthy, nutritious breakfast will keep us satisfied for hours. It will keep our metabolism revved. It will give us energy to last throughout the day. It will give you a good nutritional base for the day.
Breakfast isn’t for everyone, but it will positively benefit most of us. If you eat intelligently then there is no reason to starve yourself. If you eat intelligently then you can eat all of the foods you want to without feeling deprived. Make nutrition work for you, don’t be a slave to your food. Eating breakfast will be good for most of us. Use it to your advantage. It is the Pain Free Way.
Is Diet Really Helping With Your Diet?

As somebody currently working in that second school, with your extremely useful advice from the IoE talk you did still ringing in my ears, could you include in part two more advice on how those in the second school can survive. What can we do? Remind us. Re-affirm your previous comments.
It is extremely disappointing. I once attended a staff meeting. A teacher with experience of a few years raised the issue of behaviour in and around the school. Leadership denied the existence of any problem. Any problems were that teacher's doing and his problem to solve.
I do get tired of being told that the behaviour in that second school where I occupy an unenviable position is largely because I did (or didn't) do some imaginary thing that seems totally arbitrary! Either that or I occasionally get told oh it's because you are a woman working in a boys' school!!! Why emply any women then??
People in that first type of school spend so long with their heads in the sand that I'm sure it gets stuck in their eyes and ears!
I don't mean to sound negative here it's just grinding pragmatism!
The points about senior staff having more time to follow up behaviour issues is partly true – perhaps a better phrase would be more flexibility of time. Whilst my day on SLT is just as packed as it was as a mainscale teacher I do have much more flexibility on a typical day than a teacher doing 5 lessons 'on the bounce'.
It's important that when a member of staff is sworn at or whatever that the sanctions applied are absolutely consistant whether that member of staff is SLT; mainscale; admin or mid-day supervisor. Only when that consistency occurs will students tow the line with everyone rather than being selective in their behaviour.
I agree. Last Ofsted at my previous school – two boys (twins Y8) known for being unmanageable were told to stay at home for the two days that Ofsted dropped by, on the pretext that they were fighting in the library a couple of days before. They were usually worse than that, but never told to have duvet-days before!
Most often, teachers simply do not bring up the behaviour issue, as it is thrown back on them like a boomerang – with the implication that it is the teacher's fault, not the pupil's. “Clearly your differentiation is shoddy, Miss Sprule.” Or somesuch. Followed by management licking their pencil stubs and marking said teacher in little red book of incapable whingers. So poor behaviour enjoys one long Rabelaisian Carnival time. While the researchers mentioned in your previous post justify their funding by making ridiculous and feeble minded suggestions, like latter day Lord Longfords, which clearly show they have not taught in a classroom since they could/did escape to the never never land of lost causes – Researchville, far enough down the road from Grange Hill for the cries of the staff not to be heard…..
As usual, Tom, you're talking about the issues that so many management teams are desperate to sweep under the mat, so thank you.
I'm in the same situation as most of the commenters (so far) – in the second school within my school. It's a tough school, but when I first started there was an acknowledgement by the Head and leadership team that there were behaviour problems and even though nothing was perfect and the problem persisted, there was never the feeling that staff were blamed for disruptive and inappropriate behaviour by students. I'm not saying that the problem was always effectively dealt with – sheer numbers of these kids meant it was impossible to isolate or sanction them all! – but it was incredibly empowering to know that you weren't held responsible. Now, however, after the change to Academy status and change of leadership, behaviour issues are being blamed on staff. I've actually been told that my lessons aren't “engaging enough” (which is cr@p because I know I'm delivering mine in more or less the same way as other members of my dept. and they haven't been told that.) I've been told that, if a student refuses to do any work that I “can't let them do that”; when I said that I could give a pupil a pen, but not force them to write, I was simply told that it was my problem to manage. Needless to say, no suggestions as to how I might do this were forthcoming.
Also eagerly awaiting part 2 whilst recovering from a somewhat disastrous supply stint where I was thrown in the deep end with groups known to be an issue – with little valid support. No SEN information, seating plans of teacher off sick lost by previous supply – the list is endless. Though some permanent staff have little sympathy for supply teachers – I am not there by choice – seeking permanent employment and I would definitely prefer to teach my own subject rather than 'general cover' which I am asked to do more often that subject cover. People be nice to the supply cover – it can be a very lonely place !
I have been the little guy doing a year and a half of supply and now sitting in my advisory ivory tower I would say that I agree completely with your view about distance. The further away you are, the easier everything looks. Teachers are right to be skeptical about the views of experts. I am often asked for advice on inclusive practice for children with BESD and I can feel very conflicted. I recall the overwhelming bitterness that comes from being treated with contempt when all I wanted to do was impart knowledge and help young people to excel their own miserable expectations. The only advice for a teacher that I could give is the following; If you can take contempt with a serene and loving face and then respond calmly and rationally with love for those you teach, you cannot be beaten. Easier said than done. I look forward to part two.
PS to all the supply, cover and NQTs out there, you may be undervalued but without you this education system would really struggle.

On November 29, 2018, the Florida Association for Insurance Reform, FAIR, hosted its Sixth Annual Awards Gala and Benefit. Former Florida Governor Bush delivered the keynote presentation to two hundred guests gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of FAIR. FAIR recognized Jeff Reamer, Southern Safe Construction, with its Founders Award and Paul Huszar, VetCor Services, with its Community Champion Award.
The honored speaker, Jeb Bush, is the 43rd governor of the State of Florida, serving from 1999 through 2007. During his two terms, Governor Bush championed major reform of government, in areas ranging from education and health care to civil service and tax reform. On matters pertinent to the insurance industry, Bush supported caps for medical malpractice litigation and launched a landmark Medicaid reform initiative. Governor Bush is also known for his leadership during two unprecedented back-to-back hurricane seasons, which brought eight hurricanes and four tropical storms to the state of Florida in less than two years.
The annual event benefits and supports the educational mission of the FAIR Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating safer, more resilient communities through education mitigation, and reducing uninsured risk.
Joseph L. Petrelli: Thank you for agreeing to speak with us this afternoon.
Long-term insurance solutions are achieved when everybody’s involved in the process. How do you involve all stakeholders in a process of resolution?
Governor Jeb Bush: It’s harder to reach consensus when we don’t start with the premise that there’s a shared set of facts. The first step is to re-establish that mindset. You will never reach consensus, between the left and right, or in the case of insurance — consumer versus company — until you’ve established what the facts are.
That’s harder in the insurance world because insurance is pretty esoteric. The language used is different, the accounting principles are different. No one understands contingent liability, and we’re living in the here and now. But it’s essential. I think now is a good time to be focusing on insurance issues in Florida because we’ve had a few storms and people are back to thinking about these things, like the importance of how you harden your home, how you access insurance and why building codes matter.
It’s simple to understand when you go through damaged areas and you see previously beautiful homes effectively destroyed. In one neighborhood, the only house that survived was a Habitat for Humanity home built on a corner one year earlier, but after the building code was changed. It was a home for people at or near the poverty level, but it was sturdy and it survived.
So, when you go through these storms, people realize there are things we need to do. Now’s the time to start establishing what the facts are, and the facts are that in Florida, with the changing climate and in a paradise-type environment — there is a price to pay. We need to think longer term and, as esoteric as insurance is, it’s really vital when our long-term survival is at stake.
Our insurance needs to be robust, it needs to be deep, it needs to be market-driven and needs to provide incentives to the successful.
JP: What are some of the principles for furthering cooperation?
JB: First of all, it requires public leadership. I’m very optimistic about the future of our country, but I think the one thing that the states have that the federal government doesn’t have is the requirement to balance a budget. That forces everyone, whether they like it or not, to come together.
The best policies are the ones where you get bipartisan support. The best policies are ones where you try to find a Nixon-in-China moment, where a leader says I want to do something that breaks the mold, gets outside of the conventional wisdom, to forge consensus. It was a long time ago, but when I was governor, I tried to find ways to find someone who didn’t look like me or think like me but who agreed with me on a particular issue to be a partner on that issue. Restoring that would be really useful.
JP: Florida is the 19th largest economy in world, correct?
I would say, we need to build capacity for the next generation of Floridians, so they can take advantage of the jobs that don’t exist today but will be the important jobs of the future. Dealing with the downside of living in Florida — the uncertainties, such as the eight hurricanes and four tropical storms in 16 months (in 2004-2005) that are etched into my soul.
The climate is changing, irrespective of what your views are on climate change … Florida will be on the vanguard of that and we will have to adapt and make long-term infrastructure decisions to be able to protect our quality of life, including our water and our environment.
You don’t experience that in a leadership position and forget it. Too many policymakers and people in our state have forgotten. That’s the biggest deterrent. The climate is changing, irrespective of what your views are on climate change, and how much impact man has on it. Florida will be on the vanguard of that and we will have to adapt and make long-term infrastructure decisions to be able to protect our quality of life, including our water and our environment. To me, these things comprise the biggest opportunity to ensure our sustained and improving quality of life.
We have all these advantages, but we have to invest long-term to protect, to make sure we’re ready to grow but also to ensure we have a robust insurance market. People don’t get it. We will make real estate growth impossible if we socialize all the risks and create massive uncertainty.
JP: In terms of leadership, balancing cooperation of team members and still having those team members compete with one another to make them better is tricky. How do you do it?
JB: I lean more towards competition and less toward ‘kum ba yah.’ That doesn’t mean you can’t find consensus and cooperation, but if we merely accept incremental change or the status quo, we’re not going to get where we need to be. To break through, you need to be creative, you need to find common ground. So, let a thousand flowers bloom, let the best ideas emerge, and let people steal those ideas and make them even better.
The Founders envisioned that as the way it’s supposed to work. The Federal system works pretty well. Whether it’s health or property insurance — when we had 100 million people living in our country, the property liability issues were significantly less than when we have 330 million, where we aggregate all in the same place, where disasters seem to happen more often.
Think about Sandy. That storm — the damages were tens of billions, and that’s going to happen more often than not when you have these communities where property values are high, where insurance is politicized and not market-driven, where the infrastructure is depleted and running down, and everybody’s like “what, me worry?” These costs are going to create dramatic consequences, and if we do nothing, we socialize that risk. We outsource our lack of responsibility for our own future to the government. The United States already has about a 60 trillion-dollar net present value cost with the unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare, Freddie, Fannie, all the loan programs the government has. All that totals 60 trillion dollars — three times our national economy.
You want to socialize the insurance risk? Flood insurance for sure. Or wait for the big earthquake to happen. This is ridiculous. When a country like ours, the greatest country on the face of the earth, is so focused on the here-and-now, we’re going to pay a heavy price later. Whatever the path that takes us toward being less focused on immediate gratification and more focused on the long-term, that can allow us to remain the greatest country on the face of the earth, I’m all for it.
JP: Any public projects you’re involved with that our readers should get behind and would benefit from hearing about?
JB: The main thing I’m involved with outside my business is the Foundation for Excellence in Education. In fact, we’re having our annual summit next week in Washington, D.C. We do it outside of Washington one year and, after the election, in D.C. the next year. We’ll have 1100 education reformers talking about how you create a more dynamic, innovative education system.
This is a place where Florida is one of the leaders, and why I’m pleased that Ron DeSantis got elected. Because his opponent, as dynamic and interesting and charismatic as he appeared to be as a candidate, would have gone back to the old way which would have made it, ironically, harder for many of the people who voted for him. Their children would not have had a chance to rise up.
So, we focus on school choice, robust accountability, harnessing technology, a lot of things trying to transform our education system to the 21st century. Our country is lagging way behind other countries in this regard, we have these 20th century institutions that need to be as dynamic as the rest of us to deal with all the competition and globalism opportunities and too many students are not gaining the power of knowledge. So I spend a lot of time on that.
JP: A few questions, just for fun. What is your favorite comfort food?
JB: Tacos el carbon – beef tacos.
JP: What is a good book you would recommend?
JB: I’m reading a phenomenal book right now — a book by Hans Roland titled “Factfulness.” He deals with this pressing problem: there is a universe of facts that are real. You can’t argue about them, and yet people ignore them. His point is that human progress has been incredible over the last 40, 60, 100, 200 years. However you measure it, this is the most extraordinary time to be alive. Those are facts, not opinions.
Also, I just finished “Them” by Ben Sass. Another good book is “Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou, which was the book about the Wall Street Journal and the woman who founded Theranos, which was a multibillion-dollar biotech fraud. It’s an amazing story.
JP: What is your favorite movie?
JB: The Mel Gibson movie “Braveheart.” I watch that once a year.

You ca n’t argue about them , and yet people ignore them . His point is that human progress has been incredible over the last 40 , 60 , 100 , 200 years . However you measure it , this is the most extraordinary time to be alive . Those are facts , not opinions .
 Also , I just finished “ Them ” by Ben Sass . Another good book is “ Bad Blood ” by John Carreyrou , which was the book about the Wall Street Journal and the woman who founded Theranos , which was a multibillion - dollar biotech fraud . It ’s an amazing story .
 JP : What is your favorite movie ?
 JB : The Mel Gibson movie “ Braveheart . ” I watch that once a year .

Barcelona have entered the race to sign Thomas Lemar from Monaco.
French outfit, L’Equipe, reports that the La Liga side are eyeing Lemar to replace Neymar, who has completed a €222million move to Paris Saint-Germain this week.
It is believed that Liverpool and Manchester City, have also made their interest in the 21-year-old winger known in the past few days.
Lemar, “who has yet to bat an eye” on his transfer situation, is set to change tact with news of Barcelona interest, as he realises a move to Camp Nou now could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, Arsenal have not given up on landing the France international.
Lemar is Arsene Wenger’s No1 target, following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette, but the Ligue 1 champions are reluctant to allow the France international leave.
The Gunners have seen a third €50million offer turned down this week.

The Department of Internal Medicine offers many experts in internal medicine specialties. The main focus is on oncology and diabetology.
The Department of Internal Medicine in the Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital has a total of 33 beds, including 12 double rooms and 9 single rooms. Although the main focus of the department is primarily on oncology (as the Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital was the first private clinic in Austria with its own certified breast health center) and on diabetology, numerous experts in the field of internal secondary specialization are available, covering the entire spectrum of internal medicine. Due to the close cooperation with (affiliated physicians) of the Medical University of Vienna / the AKH Vienna we are able to offer our patients the most optimal and modern therapies.
In addition to conventional x-ray and ultrasound examinations such as color-coded duplex sonography, the on-site x-ray department also enables timely CT examinations and various invasive procedures such as biopsies or preoperative markings.
Nuclear medical examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are carried out in cooperation with the private clinic Döbling, another clinic of the PremiQaMed group.
The in-house laboratory guarantees a fast delivery of results.
During inpatient treatment, we can offer our patients physiotherapy, nutritional advice and, if necessary, bioimpedance analysis.
Due to the wide range of medical specialists in all medical disciplines, consultation requirements are quick and easy to accomplish.
A 24-hour presence of an anesthetist (as well as a specialist in gynecology) in-house ensures optimal patient care even in critical situations.
In addition to the support provided by the perfectly coordinated care team of the internal department under the management of DGKP Elisabeth Kuba, we also offer our (oncological) patients psychological support.
An additional service is provided by our "Breast Care Nurses" as well as a "pharmacological consultation" by pharmacists of the Auge Gottes pharmacy. This ensures that our patients are already supplied with all the necessary medicines at the time of discharge.
If necessary, an active discharge management is carried out to optimize extramural patient care.
Due to the wide range of services, the Department of Internal Medicine of the Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital unites the highest medical level with a lived-in service awareness and a familiar ambience for well-being.

I first met Eric d’Aramon in 2001 when I interviewed him at Figeac, for Decanter. That evening we went to a dinner (it was en primeur week, if I remember) and he went round shaking hands. ‘Alors, c'est Monsieur Figeac,’ one greeted him.
At the time I thought it was a mark of respect: ‘the big man’, but now I wonder if there was a hint of irony, as it might be ‘Mr Manoncourt’ – the property of the châtelain.
One of the strangest things about the strange affair of the ousting of d’Aramon (one of the nicest people in the business, I always thought) was the fact that it caused so little fuss. Decanter’s Jane Anson, who knows everything, didn’t hear about it. I first heard of it at the boozy en primeur press dinner on Monday night at Canon La Gaffeliere. Wine Spectator’s Suzanne Mustacich ran a piece but barely mentioned it. So then I started asking around and found that everyone knew about it and had an opinion.
The bare facts are that on 20 March, Marie-France Manoncourt, Figeac owner and relict of the late Thierry, sent the sort of glacially formal letter that only the haut-bourgeois of Bordeaux know how to write any more, informing negociants that Eric d’Aramon had finished his contract and was to be replaced by Frederic Faye. That was it.
If she’d been writing to her accountant to tell him she’d replaced her under-gardener it would have seemed a little abrupt. About her son-in-law, whose 25 years of service to the chateau had made it a much-loved, albeit eccentric, property, it was chilling.
Anyway, d’Aramon has gone to ground at his other property, Chateau de Mouchac in Grezillac in Entre-deux-Mers, with his wife Laure and his three young children. Laure is one of the three heirs, with her two sisters, to the chateau: the most prominent of the sisters is Hortense Idoine Manoncourt, who as president, runs the show with her mother.
d'Aramon is not answering texts and calls from even his close associates, and a miasma of rumour and gossip is heavy in the air.
Twitter predictably went mad, predicting the ruination of the elegant Figeac style.
Now Mme Manoncourt, I’m told by a very good source, dismayed by the twitter backlash, is having second thoughts about her high-profile consultant.
Apparently Gilles Pauquet has been called in for a meeting. Of course unthinkable that she could sack Rolland immediately after hiring him, but judging by the way half the family was defenestrated, it’s safe to assume she hasn’t been on many personnel management courses recently.
Of course now that d’Aramon’s gone, there are plenty of people to say they saw it coming. Proprietors from St Estephe to Libourne privately opine that if they had charge of the chateau their first move would be to rip out all the Cabernet Sauvignon (a third of the plantings, highly unusual on the right bank and the key to Figeac’s distinctive profile).
Finally – is Figeac for sale? Not while Mme Manoncourt is alive, perhaps, but…. ‘The daughters are not going to want to run the estate. It will be sold for sure. Figeac needs millions spent on it, to update the chais, the vineyards, replant, analyse the soils. You either make that sort of investment yourself or you sell. Figeac will be sold within the year,’ I’m told by a negotiant.
Another correspondent says LVMH has its beady eye on it, ‘to integrate it into Cheval Blanc’. Now that would be a heresy if ever there was one.
