A holistic approach to health and happiness…..
My blog is all about wellness. For me, there is a strong connection between my mental and my physical health. I have always delved deeply into spiritual ideas – and when I have found peace within myself, my body automatically responds with health and vitality. I also believe in the importance of treating my body with respect – feeding it nutritious food and being active and energetic.
I call the way I try to live my life: Mindful and Respectful Living. It is a journey for me and one which I am still far from mastering. I endeavor to listen for the ideas of Divine Mind, God, and respect those around me, and whom I come into contact with on a daily basis. I am also mindful of what I cook and feed my family. I try to buy as much organic food (meat/vegetables) as I can, and ensure I know where it has been grown and that it has been reared sustainably and in a humane manner.
It is in no way my intention to convert anyone to a religion or way of thinking, but just to inform and introduce my readers to ideas that have helped me. I myself am a very free thinker and I love to read and study the ideas of many different spiritual, nutrition and wellness teachers. My ideas are continuously evolving.
On my spiritual journey I have had many wonderful influencers, starting from when I was a young child. My mother has always had a undeviating trust in God, and with many challenges our family has had living in Africa, I have seen the power of prayer in action. The positive outcome of many of the instances simply could not have been chance or coincidence. Even my father – a practical engineer, who has never taken anything on face value (always diligently researching and questioning) claims that there must have been divine intervention.
I was listening to a podcast of Oprah interviewing Wayne Dyer about his book, "Change your Thoughts, Change your Life" and he said, very eloquently, "… There's no coincidence. In fact, coincidence itself is a mathematical term. Remember in geometry, they would say that two angles that coincide, fit together perfectly – so now we've taken a term that means 'two things that fit together perfectly' and interpreted it to mean 'something that fits together accidentally.' We've just reversed the whole concept of coincidence – it's co-in-side." (https://potentialwithin.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/coincidence-god-winks/). This is how I feel about the blessings my family and I have experienced. I do not believe they were just chance.
My darling husband and three beautiful children are also influencers on a daily basis. I always strive to learn, discuss, and teach them about many different things. It is an ongoing journey – both for them and for me, and I don't always get it right. Recently, my husband and I sat and discussed what "angels" were over a cup of tea. This is just one of many discussions we have had about such things.
One of my early spiritual teachers (and whom I believe has had one of the greatest impacts on modern thought) was, and still is, Mary Baker Eddy. Eddy lived between 1821 and 1910 and was a true scholar – studying the Bible Scriptures from a very young age. She had an immense trust in God and her ideas about the connection between spirituality and health were groundbreaking. In her time, she was arguably the most powerful and famous woman in America. Some of her healings were on a par with Christ Jesus, and she wrote many books, including her most celebrated best seller – Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The book is based on the Bible and the teachings of Christ Jesus.
Mary Baker Eddy had wanted the teachings to be accessible to everyone – within or without a church organisation – and it is my greatest desire to see her given credit for being one of the biggest influencers of the wellness movement. Joel Goldsmith studied her writings for many years before writing his own books and starting his own movement called "The Infinite Way". Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, among others, give credit to Joel Goldsmith as being one of their influencers.
As I stated in my first blog, I have met many people who are on a spiritual/wellness journey independent of actual "religion", and all these ideas can be incorporated into a way of life which helps them to progress and meets them where they are on their journey.
Two other statements from Mary Baker Eddy which have always resonated with me are: "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings" and "The time for thinkers has come" (Science and Health, vii). The importance of turning to God in any situation and not accepting what others are telling us (which isn't very easy to do in the modern age of internet and TV), but to really think and research for oneself.
"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruez. These agreements are: Be Impeccable With Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't Make Assumptions, Always Do Your Best. How great and freeing life would be if we followed all of them!
"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. As the Amazon review of his book states: "Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment." Ekhart Tolle had hit the depths of despair when he found this enlightenment and the book articulates beautifully how he found joy by living in the moment – by not being dragged into regrets of the past or fears of the future.
The works of Wayne Dyer, including the movie "The Shift". On Google Books it says that this movie "Explores the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. " A really beautiful movie with so much meaning and truths. He has also written 31+ other books and his talks and interviews are available on You tube.
"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrnes. Both the book and the movie explain the Law of Attraction – how being grateful, changing one's thought and choosing a path in life, can bring wonderful benefits into one's experience. For me, it focused too much on getting "things" instead of giving. But overall, it did give readers and watchers an idea of how to attract good into their lives.
"The Power is Within You" and other books by Louise L. Hay – and her wonderful box of gratitude cards.
"365 Thank yous – The Year a Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed my Life" by John Kralik. This is such a great example of how powerful gratitude can be to transform one's experience.
Books by Ann Beals of The Bookmark (www.thebookmark.com). She states on the front of her web page: "Welcome to a new adventure of the mind. Never before has the Word of God been presented with such power to heal, protect and transform your life." Ann delves deep into the works of Mary Baker Eddy and others, and has also written many books of her own.
The Movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". There are so many beautiful quotes from the movie, but some of my favourite are: "Life offers a thousand chances; all we have to do is pick one"…"Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling the present." …."Never lose your childish enthusiasm and things will come your way." A wonderful movie in every way.
"What I know for sure is that every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and step out and dance – to love free of regret and filled with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand. You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self-doubt.
So very true. Let's always make the choice to dance!

The Making of a Meme
#sxsw #photomeme
From Instagram to LOL Cats to Tumblr, few things on the Internet are more tempting than a picture with a sense of humor or a vintage filter. With more content sharing platforms available than ever before, the ability to share, manipulate and copy images without permission or credit has nearly become status quo. How can traditional photography survive in an Internet world? How can paid professional photographers or content creators get the credit they deserve for their work? When does an Internet meme become bigger than copyright? With a blend of traditional photography experts and Internet enthusiasts, this panel will discuss the development of one photography meme – Texts from Hillary — and how the worlds of the State Department, Time Magazine and Tumblr collided. The panel will also discuss how the culture of filtered photos, re-blogging and beyond can change how we tell visual stories.
In 2012, Adam was the co-creator of the popular Tumblr, Texts from Hillary, For his day job, he is the Communications Director of Public Campaign, a national nonprofit campaign finance reform nonprofit. He oversees all areas of communications, including online advocacy, web development, materials development, and media relations. In addition, he provides strategic advice, support, and on-the-ground assistance to Public Campaign's state partner organizations across the country. Adam is a graduate of Elon University in North Carolina and lives in Washington, D.C.

Photographer Diana Walker was a contract photographer for Time magazine for many years. She served as one of Time's two White House photographers during the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations. She covered the campaigns of Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton, specializing in her behind the scenes black and white images.
Walker has done two books of her photographs with National Geographic Books: THE BIGGER PICTURE: 30 Years of Portraits, Foreword by Ann Tyler (2007), and PUBLIC & PRIVATE: Twenty Years Photographing the Presidency, Foreword by Michael Beschloss (2002). Her work covering the presidency has also been reproduced in many top European magazines, including Paris Match, Stern and the London Sunday Times. She has done many features over the years for People magazine, The Washingtonian, Fortune, The New York Times Magazine, and The Village Voice. Many of Walker's images of Steve Jobs, taken over a twenty-year span for TIME, are featured in the biography STEVE JOBS by Walter Isaacson.
Walker has won numerous awards from World Press, the White House News Photographers Association, and the National Press Photographers Association. She received the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's 2003 Paul Peck Award for her interpretation and portrayal of the Presidency. Her photographs are in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Minneapolis Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, which honored her with a retrospective of her work, "Diana Walker/Photojournalist" in 2003. An exhibition from that retrospective toured the country from 2003-2009 under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution's Traveling Exhibit Service. Diana Walker's archive resides at the Dolph Sid Briscoe Center for American History, the University of Texas at Austin. In 2012 she was awarded by Time, Inc. the Henry Luce Life Achievement Award.
Diana Walker has collaborated with author Elise Lufkin on her three well-known books about the joys of adopting dogs, FOUND DOGS, (1999), SECOND CHANCES (2003) and TO THE RESCUE (2009). Walker is represented by the Addison Ripley Gallery in Washington and in New York by the Howard Greenberg Gallery. She and her husband Mallory live in Washington DC. Although she accepts very few assignments now, over the last few years Walker has been documenting the Prop 8 case in California for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, supporters of the case of the plaintiffs. She followed Secretary Hillary Clinton on a trip abroad in October, 2011 for a TIME cover story. It was on this trip that Walker took the picture of Secretary Clinton as she consulted her Blackberry on a C-17 cargo plane, on the way to Libya, which will be discussed by the panel at SXSW.

DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore running back Deon Jackson turned in a record-breaking performance at Pittsburgh, establishing the Duke single-game mark for all-purpose yards with 403.
Jackson became just the third player in ACC history with 400 or more all-purpose yards in a contest, joining Clemson's Tobias Palmer (496 vs. N.C. State, 2012) and Wake Forest's John Leach (411 vs. Maryland, 1993).
The 6-0, 220-pound native of Atlanta currently leads Duke with 647 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground.

Labor offices raided by AFP
Primrose Riordan and Joanna Mather
Updated May 20, 2016 – 7.35am, first published at May 19, 2016 – 8.17pm
The Federal Police raid on Labor Senator Stephen Conroy's office is "unprecedented" in a country proud of its non-politicised security agencies, Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus says.
AFP officers raided Senator Conroy's offices in Melbourne on Thursday evening over leaks that detailed cost and time blowouts to the National Broadband Network while Malcolm Turnbull was communications minister.
"I cannot think of any precedent for this occurring before," Mr Dreyfus told the ABC's Lateline program.
"It may be that many, many decades ago there is some precedent for it. It's a concern, of course, because we have a proud record in Australia of a non-politicised security agencies."
As well as the raid on Senator Conroy's CPO office at Treasury Place, the home of Labor staffer, Andy Byrne, was raided on Thursday evening.
The AFP have hit back at allegations they have been politicised by saying the NBN Co referred the matter to the police and the agency is independent from government.
In a statement the police said they received the complaint on December 9, 2015 and interviewed a number of NBN Co employees on Thursday.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese told Channel Nine police only left the staffer's home in the early hours of Friday morning
Both Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten were attending a campaign event in Sydney on Thursday evening.
Mr Turnbull said the AFP's investigation of matters were "entirely independent" of the federal government.
Prime Minister Turnbull had plenty of chances to backflip on the Abbott-era NBN plan, will he risk it this close to the election? Angus Mordant
"It's entirely a matter for the AFP. As you know they operate entirely independently of the government," he said. Industry Minister Christopher Pyne said the government only knew the raids were happening after the police had already gone in.
Mr Shorten made some brief comments after the event, saying the investigation related to newspaper articles about the roll out and budget of the NBN.
"It relates to his embarrassment over the fact that there was a massive blowout in costs of billions and billions of dollars, and, of course, huge delays to the delivery and the roll-out of the NBN," he said.
"It's an extraordinary development, it relates to Mr Turnbull's time in charge of the NBN and the extraordinary blowout of costs and huge delays, in the implementation of NBN and millions of Australian households not getting what was promised."

The Opposition should have been fully briefed by the government given the serious nature of the matter, Mr Dreyfus said.
"The government has to answer when it was informed, what it was informed about, what it knew about this investigation being conducted and there's a very important distinction that's available to all Australians looking on to this," he said.
"There have been more than 20 serious national security related leaks under this Abbott-Turnbull Government. And not one of them has resulted in an AFP investigation."
Government sources insisted the opposition was properly briefed by the AFP on the raids.
Labor frontbencher Tony Burke earlier confirmed the raids were occurring on Thursday night.

"It is the case that those raids are happening," Mr Burke said. "There are allegations floating around about documents that were leaked from the NBN.
"There's no doubt the leaks that came from the NBN caused immense damage, immense damage to Malcolm Turnbull when they showed the cost blowout of the NBN, the fact it was slower and going to be delayed," he said.
Mr Burke said other leaks, including one to The Australian newspaper from the National Security Committee of cabinet over submarines, had not resulted in raids.
"The thing that I also know with this is during the life of this parliament, on 23 different occasions we've asked about leaks from all parts of this Government, right through to the National Security Committee of cabinet.... I know how many of those inquiries have resulted in police raids. I don't know how many times they've been referred to the AFP," Mr Burke said.

In February Mr Turnbull denied there were problems with the budget or the pace of the roll out of the NBN, as reported by Fairfax Media citing an internal progress report. Mr Turnbull had responsibility for the NBN rollout during his two years as Communications Minister before he became prime minister in September.
Mr Dreyfus said Senator Conroy was one of the senators sitting on a Senate inquiry into the National Broadband Network.
"There's every reason why Senator Conroy should have documents relating to the NBN, and there's other questions which I won't go into now about whether or not parliamentary privilege has here been breached," he said.
"The whole of this is extraordinary. The whole of this is unprecedented. The government has to explain when it knew about this investigation, when it knew that the AFP embarked on this, and what the government's view is of the appropriateness of this kind of police activity during an election campaign."

Phillip Lee MP joins the Liberal Democrats
Posted by Office of Tom Brake | Updated 2019-09-03
The Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce that Bracknell MP Phillip Lee has joined the party.
Phillip Lee, defecting from the Conservatives, joins the Liberal Democrats, having held the seat since 2010. He is the fourth addition to the Liberal Democrat parliamentary party in the last few months.
Speaking after joining the party, Liberal Democrat MP Dr Phillip Lee said:
"Over 27 years ago I joined the Conservative & Unionist Party led by Sir John Major. Since 2010 I have had the privilege of representing the Bracknell Constituency. The Party I joined in 1992 is not the Party I am leaving today.
"This Conservative Government is aggressively pursuing a damaging Brexit in unprincipled ways. It is putting lives and livelihoods at risk unnecessarily and it is wantonly endangering the integrity of the United Kingdom. More widely, it is undermining our country's economy, democracy and role in the world. It is using political manipulation, bullying and lies. And it is doing these things in a deliberate and considered way.
"That is why today I am joining Jo Swinson and the Liberal Democrats. I believe the Liberal Democrats are best placed to build the unifying and inspiring political force needed to heal our divisions, unleash our talents, equip us to take the opportunities and overcome the challenges that we face as a society - and leave our country and our world in a better place for the next generations."
Welcoming Dr Phillip Lee, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson said:
"I am delighted to welcome Phillip to the Liberal Democrats at this crucial time.
"He brings almost 10 years of Parliamentary experience and decades of professional expertise. He shares our commitment to prevent a disastrous No Deal Brexit, and to stop Brexit altogether.
"The Liberal Democrats are growing. Phillip follows both Chuka Umunna MP and Sarah Wollaston MP in bravely crossing the floor to join us.
"Today, we also welcome Jane Dodds MP to Parliament, following her recent victory in Brecon and Radnorshire. And these representatives join over 30,000 new members, who have joined the Liberal Democrats since our best ever results in the European Elections in May."

Semerenko Apples
Semerenko apples are round to conical fruits with a slightly flattened and asymmetrical appearance. The skin is smooth, firm, waxy, and dry with prominent white spots and russeting surrounding the dark brown stem. When ripe, the apples are light green, sometimes speckled with pale red blush, and as the fruits continue to mature, the skin will transform into a green-yellow hue. Underneath the surface, the flesh is aqueous, fine-grained, white, and soft, encasing a central core filled with black-brown seeds. Semerenko apples have a sweet and sour, wine-like flavor with subtle notes of spice.
Semerenko apples are harvested in the fall and can be stored until early spring.
Semerenko apples, botanically classified as Malus domestica, are an old Russian variety that belongs to the Rosaceae family. The sweet-tart fruits are considered to be one of the most popular home garden varieties in Russia and Ukraine and have earned many names over time, including Simirenko, Green Renet Simirenko, Renet Simirenko, Symirinka, and Renet Plato Semerenko apples. The cultivar earned its primary name after Platon Feorovich Simirenko, the father of the variety's founder Lev Platonovich Simirenko. Semerenko apples are consumed as both a dessert and cooking apple and are highly valued for their wine-like flavor. The variety is also commercially grown and is favored by growers for its resistance to drought, high productivity, and extended storage capabilities.
Semerenko apples are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can help rebuild collagen and boost the immune system. The apples also provide fiber, which can help regulate digestion, and contain potassium, iron, vitamins E and K, and manganese.
Semerenko apples are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as baking, roasting, and stewing. The tender flesh is showcased when consumed fresh, out-of-hand, and the apples can be sliced for green and fruit salads, blended into smoothies, pressed into juice or cider, chopped and used as a topping over pancakes, or dried and canned for extended use. Semerenko apples can also be chopped and minced into dumplings, cooked into sauces, jams, and marmalades, or stewed with meats and other vegetables. In addition to savory applications, the apples can be incorporated into baked goods such as tarts, cakes, pies, and rolls, or baked as a simple dessert with maple syrup, spices, and nuts. Semerenko apples pair well with meats such as poultry, pork, beef, and fish, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, potatoes, pumpkins, lemon juice, raisins, and cherries. The fresh fruits will keep 1-4 months when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place.
In Russia, Semerenko apples are popularly baked into traditional Russian apple cakes during the holiday known as Yablochniy Spas. Celebrated in August in conjunction with the beginning of the apple season, many Russians bring the first fruit harvest to church to be blessed on the eve of the holiday. The next day, the blessed fruit is consumed, and celebrations are held throughout cities with dancing, live music, and street fairs. Semerenko apples are favored for their sweet-tart flavor and are traditionally baked into sharlotka, which is a sponge-like cake that has been adapted and simplified over time into the recipe used in Russia today. The cake can be served as an afternoon snack, or it can be topped with whipped cream or ice cream as a light dessert. In addition to sustenance, apples are a symbol of life in Russia. During the Yablochniy Spas celebration, some Russians believe consuming apples on the holiday will grant a secret wish, and the fruits are also placed on the graves of family members in remembrance of past life.
Semerenko apples are rumored to have been discovered by gardener Lev Platonovich Simirenko in the late 19th century on the Platonov family farm in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine. While the exact parentage of the variety is unknown, some experts believe zelenka wooda may be one of the parent varieties due to the apple's similarity in appearance. Semerenko apples were also listed in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 1947. Today Semerenko apples are widely cultivated across Central and Southern Russia and can also be found in local markets in Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. The Semerenko apples featured in the photograph above were found at a food fair in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Hyper Sports
Hyper Sports Title Screen
[[Konami]][[Category:Konami]]
Arcade, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, MSX, ZX Spectrum and SG-1000
Hyper Sports is a video game published in 1984. It is the sequel to Konami's Track & Field and features seven all-new Olympic events. Like its predecessor, Hyper Sports featured two run buttons and one action button per player. While not quite achieving the commercial and critical success of Track and Field, Hyper Sports still proved to be very popular among gamers.
The gameplay was much the same as Track & Field in that the player competes in an event and tries to score the most points based on performance criteria, and also by beating the computer entrants in that event. Also, the player tries to exceed a qualification time, distance or score in order to advance to the next event. In Hyper Sports, if all of the events were passed successfully, the player advances to the next round of the same events which are faster and harder to qualify for.
The events changed to include these new sports:
Swimming - Swimming speed is controlled by two run buttons, and breathing is controlled by the action button when prompted by swimmer on screen. There is one re-do if a player fouls due to launching before the gun, but only one "run" at the qualifying time.
Skeet shooting - Selecting left or right shot via the two run buttons while a clay-bird is in the sight. There are three rounds to attempt to pass the qualifying score. If a perfect score is attained then a different pattern follows allowing for a higher score.
Long horse - Speed to run at horse is computer controlled, player jumps and pushes off horse via the action button, and rotates as many times as possible via run buttons (and tries to land straight up on feet). There are three attempts at the qualifying score.
Archery - Firing of the arrow controlled by action button; the elevation angle is controlled by depressing the action button and releasing at the proper time. There are three attempts at passing the qualifying score.
Triple jump - Speed is controlled by the run buttons, jump and angle are controlled by action button. There are three attempts at the qualifying distance, and player fouls if first jump is after the white line.
Weight lifting - Power used to lift weights is controlled by run buttons, while shift of weight from lifting up to pushing above the head is controlled by action button. There are two attempts at the qualifying weight.
Pole vault - Speed to run is preset by computer, while release of pole and body movement is controlled by the action button. Player continues attempting the increasing heights until he/she fouls out (by missing base at the bottom or by knocking off horizontal bar with body at the top). The third foul disqualifies the player.

'Silent Exodus' From Medicine Threatens Patient Access to Care, Study Says
October 16, 2012 11:30 am James Arvantes –
The nation's physicians are disengaging from the practice of medicine by working fewer hours and seeing fewer patients. This silent exodus from the medical profession, driven by changes in the practice environment, has reduced patient access to physician services.
That's one of the key findings of a study(www.physiciansfoundation.org) conducted by the physician consulting firm Merritt Hawkins on behalf of The Physicians Foundation.
The survey, conducted from late March to early June, is based on e-mail responses to 48 questions from 13,575 physicians throughout the country. It found that physicians are working 5.9 fewer hours per week than they did in 2008, resulting in a loss of 44,250 full-time equivalents (FTEs) from the physician workforce. The survey also found that physicians are seeing 16.6 percent fewer patients per day than they did in 2008, a decline that the authors say could lead to tens of millions of fewer patients seen annually.
Physicians are practicing fewer hours and seeing fewer patients than they have in past, posing a direct threat to patient access to care, says a new study conducted by the physician consulting firm Merritt Hawkins.
In the next one to three years, more than 50 percent of physicians "plan to cut back on patients, work part-time, switch to concierge medicine, retire or take other steps that would reduce patient access to services," says the study.
The study also documents sagging physician morale, finding, for example, that more than 77 percent of physicians are "somewhat pessimistic or very pessimistic about the future of the medical profession."
Moreover, physicians spend more than 22 percent of their time on nonclinical paperwork, an amount of time equivalent to the loss of some 165,000 FTE physicians, according to the survey. More than 52 percent of physicians, meanwhile, have either limited the access Medicare patients have to their practices or are planning to do so. More than 26 percent of physicians have closed their practices to Medicaid patients.
"It is sort of a silent exodus or a silent defection from medicine," says Phil Miller, vice president of communications for Merritt Hawkins and one of the authors of the report. "Physicians are not retiring en masse. We still have more physicians coming into the system than we do exiting right now. The gross supply of physicians is growing, but the net supply of doctors is decreasing. It is not how many doctors are out there, but how they practice."
These trends are occurring as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act starts to provide health care coverage to millions more patients, putting even greater pressure on primary care physicians, Miller says, noting that the Affordable Care Act mandates coverage of preventive services in the public and private sectors and that most preventive services are delivered by primary care physicians.
Survey Provides Insights into Physician Satisfaction
Physicians in a new Merritt Hawkins survey identified liability and defensive medicine as the least satisfying part of medical practice, followed by Medicare, Medicaid and other government regulations; payment issues; and uncertainty about changes occurring as a result of health care reform.
"These factors and others cited in the survey tend to interfere with or distract doctors from patient relationships and therefore diminish their professional satisfaction," says the study, A Survey of America's Physicians: Practice Patterns and Perspectives.
The survey found a great deal of physician discouragement and disillusionment with the medical profession, but primary care physicians as a group were more optimistic than subspecialists about the medical profession, a result of a few key factors, says Phil Miller, vice president of communications for Merritt Hawkins and one of the authors of the report.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has provided payment increases for primary care physicians, which has made the specialty more attractive as a career choice, according to some analysts. In addition, primary care physicians are pivotal players in innovative care and delivery models such as patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations, thus enhancing their overall role in the health care system.
"I think the tide has turned a little bit in favor of primary care physicians," says Miller.
AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., agrees with that assessment, saying, "primary care is starting to get the respect and recognition it deserves in the public and private sectors.
"In the private sector, large national health plans are moving to medical home types of models, and that has improved payment for primary care services."
The study, A Survey of America's Physicians: Practice Patterns and Perspectives, provides a snapshot of the practice environment by gauging physician practice patterns and metrics, the career plans of today's physicians, and the current morale levels of physicians, among other factors. One of the main goals of the survey is to "connect the dots and explain why the person on the street should care," says Miller, adding, "Everybody needs a physician. That is generally the first person you see when you come into this world and the last one you see when you leave."
According to AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., the survey findings confirm what the AAFP has been documenting for years. The survey points out, for example, that the practice of medicine is undergoing a fundamental shift away from the classic independent practice model to other practice models that result in fewer hours worked and diminished patient access to physician services.
"Historically, physicians in the United States have operated as independent owners or partners of their practices, typically running them as small businesses," the survey says.
It goes on to add that, in recent years, the independent practice model has been "increasingly supplanted by the employment model, in which physicians are employed by hospitals or multi-physician medical groups … Physicians are embracing employment for a variety of reasons, including the economic security employment offers and the relative absence of administrative and business ownership responsibility it entails."
Employed physicians, in turn, are more likely to work fewer hours and thus to see fewer patients, the survey says.
At the same time, younger physicians -- those 39 and younger -- are working fewer hours than their older counterparts, according to the survey. "We have a new generation of physicians who are embracing a different practice style," Miller says.
The survey also highlights the dramatic growth in the number of female physicians during the past 30 years -- an increase of 430 percent between 1980 and 2009.
"In 1965, 7 percent of medical schools graduates were women," the survey says. "Today, more than 50 percent of new medical students are female, suggesting that females will represent the majority of all physicians within a generation." Further, it points out, "ranks of primary care physicians and obstetrician/gynecologists, in particular, should consist more predominately of female physicians in the near future."
Female physicians work fewer hours on average than male physicians, according to the survey results. For example, more than 27 percent of female physicians work 40 hours a week or less compared with 17.9 percent of male physicians.
Sagging Morale
In gauging the morale of physicians, the survey found that more than 77 percent are "somewhat pessimistic or very pessimistic about the future of the medical profession," and more than 84 percent agree that the "medical profession is in decline."
Given those numbers, it's not surprising that more than one-third of physicians say they would not choose medicine if they "had their careers to do over," and more than 60 percent would retire today if they had the means -- up from 45 percent in 2008, according to the survey.
"Doctors as a profession are disillusioned, and they are finding ways to minimize their exposure to the things they don't like in medicine," Miller says. "At the end of the day, that means working fewer hours and seeing fewer patients. And that is going to contribute to what is already a fairly serious physician shortage."
"The fact that physicians are disillusioned with their profession has real-world consequences," he adds. "It impacts whether you will be able to see a physician when you need one."
More than 80 percent of physicians say they have little ability to change the health care system, a finding that concerns Stream.
"I don't think physicians should feel powerless, no matter how complicated the political environment is," says Stream. He urges physicians to engage in the political process and to take part in efforts to improve the health care system.
On a more upbeat note, Stream is pleased that 80 percent of physicians surveyed cite patient relationships as the most satisfying part of their jobs. "We are physicians because we want to help people, and we enjoy interacting with patients," Stream says. "I see that as a positive."

Vehicular communications is an important enabler for enhancing the safety on roads by supporting mutual awareness of vehicles, as well as, for improving the efficiency of transportation through smart traffic management by intelligent transport systems. Legacy vehicular communication systems are based on dedicated road-side infrastructure and transmission bands; however, recently the interest in cellular-assisted vehicular communications is increasing, to exploit synergies between dedicated ad-hoc transmission (mainly based on 802.11) and mobile cellular systems (5G) to enhance the dependability of vehicular connectivity. In this thesis, PHY and MAC layer signal processing methods for cellular-assisted vehicular communications will be proposed and analyzed, with specific focus on enhancing efficiency and dependability of vehicular connectivity in dense traffic scenarios.
Vehicle-to-Anything Communication enables cleaner, safer, and more eficient traffic by coordinating the traffic flow among the road users. Currently, the fourth generation telecommunication proposal V2X LTE competes with local area networks based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol stack in the 5 GHz band. Fifth generation (5G) cellular access promises to support current vehicular use cases as well as future ones through diversification of radio access (below and above 6 GHz) for low-latency at high reliability (e.g. safety-relevant messaging, sharing of radar and video information) or high data rate (for road map updates). Initial ideas in this direction are: coded slotted ALOHA, multitier communication, radio resource management based on convex optimization theory, as well as full-duplex operation. A specific diversified radio access scheme will be proposed for a selected cooperative transport use case, analysed in theory, prototyped for road tests, and evaluated by measurements in selected real-world vehicular scenarios.


Halo: Reach comes out today! I'm excited. Are you excited? If all goes well there should be a courier man dropping off my copy sometime today. In the meantime I'll have to quell my explosive excitement by staring in awe at these amazing pictures from the Halo: Reach launch event in London. They had jetpacks; authentic, proper, strap-me-on-and-fly-around-for-real jetpacks. That is so awesome, and it totally makes sense seeing as how jetpacks are making an appearance in Halo: Reach! It's almost as if Rocketman (the Texas based jetpack company) knew that their calling was to outdo every other game release event ever, and that's why they spent tons of cash developing jetpacks.
Dressed up in full Spartan armour, Dan Schlund flew around London's Trafalgar Square in celebration of the release of Bungie's newest and final Halo game. I don't know about you, but had Bungie made a "Halo: Reach Super Legendary Edition of Pure Awesome" that came with a jetpack instead of some shoddy diorama, then I would have picked it up for sure, even if it meant I'd have had to sell my car, house and first-born child in order to afford it. Who needs a home or family when you can have a jetpack and Halo: Reach?

Reality 3 on Daz studio?
Is it out on Daz 4.5 yet? I see the advert for it on poser but does this include Daz or just poser? pls let me know. If its not out for daz yet is there any idea when it will be? ty.
not yet... If I understand correctly, Paolo put a lot of effort into the Poser release, so he might take a wee breather before getting stuck into the DS version, so best guess right now is "later in the summer".
Paolo said he was going to start working on it soon and since a big chunk of it was done with the poser version he won't have to start from scratch, so shouldn't be to long now.
K this is cool. ty.

>> After the tragedy, a chance for the public to mourn together. I'm Jerry Ranchoff for Reuters. It's Monday night. I'm at the vigil, following the worst mass shooting in US history. It took awhile for this vigil, about 48 hours for this vigil to come together. Police resources were stretched, and the police asked the community to hold off at least 24 hours before putting this vigil together.
You can see they weren't wrong. If you go up to the crime scene, there is police activity on every block, blocking every street. Police cars are lining the whole neighborhood up there, so I think tonight you'll see that the community here will get a chance to mourn publicly.
Sunday night, I was at the Parliament House, which is a popular gay night club. Sunday night's their busy night, and the mood was solemn. I think people wanted to get together and talk about it. You know, hospitals have these rigorous rules about how they can share medical information.
I think there was some level of frustration about partners who weren't formally married, getting access to information, you see that, you talk to people, they just want information and you can understand that. And I think there was some concern about gay men not being able to give blood, there was a lot of concern about that role, there's a federal ban on that.
In talking to victim's families, there was a lot of things they want to convey, but I think most importantly was that they have the strength to move on and that their loved one didn't die in vain. I think you'll see here at this vigil that there will be a lot of talk about hope.
Everybody you talk to, they always wanna shift. It's always a very optimistic point of view.

Best Post-Anthology Tracks?
By Michael Gerber|2020-01-18T19:52:54-08:00January 18, 2020|bootlegs|
I was just prowling around on the internet -- as one does on a Saturday night -- and discovered a Lennon demo from December 1968 called "A Case of the Blues." It's a neat little scrap of a song. See what you think. Maybe all of you know it already? What are your favorite demos, outtakes, and alternate versions of Beatles songs not on the Anthology? https://youtu.be/a0a_52O_9qo (Way to make John Lennon's handwriting boring-looking, anonymous designer.) I remember about two years ago I got obsessed with the McCartney tune "Suicide" as performed in 1969, and was shocked that 1) I was still [...]
Beatleg Stories
By Michael Gerber|2019-10-09T01:09:28-07:00October 8, 2019|bootlegs|
Whatever time you're reading this, chances are I'm doing the same thing: furiously pedaling my bike en route to my local repertory movie theater, fifteen minutes late for some old movie, with no lights (I know I know) and some truly awful Beatles outtake blaring in my ears. Probably 25% of all the room on my iPhone is taken up by Artifacts I and II, the Beatle bootleg set that basically forced the release of The Beatles Anthology. 25% more are a bunch of digipaks, from Kinfauns to Chaos to Pepper in mono. And because it's on shuffle, I can go from [...]
Lennon and McCartney's "lost reunion," by David Gambacorta
By Nancy Carr|2019-06-25T11:11:23-07:00June 25, 2019|1974, Beatles in LA, bootlegs, Breakup, Chris Carter/Breakfast With the Beatles, Harry NIlsson, John and Paul, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Uncategorized, Unreleased/Outtakes|
Posted at the excellent aggregator and original writing site Longreads is David Gambacorta's exploration of the 1974 California jam session John Lennon and Paul McCartney engaged in -- the last time they would play together. Most Beatles fans will be familiar with the history Gambacorta recounts, but it's nice to see it laid out succinctly. Gambacorta does turn up a few facts that were, at least, new to me: for example, it's not clear what happened to the master tapes made that night. And the piece is well worth reading for the recent comments Gambacorta got from several people, including Elliot Mintz, [...]
Most pirated group? The Beatles, of course
By Michael Gerber|2015-02-09T13:25:58-08:00February 9, 2015|bootlegs|
"Hey guys! We were able to buy a car!" In the process of refurbishing this old post on the Beatles and piracy, I stumbled across this NME article from 2013: according to an industry group, The Beatles are the most pirated musical act. MUSO, who released the data to Music Week, revealed 186,876 files featuring The Beatles music have been removed from the internet with an average of 1,000 downloads per file. This equates to nearly 190 million illegal downloads per year. The article goes on to say that this tally doesn't even include sites like The Pirate Bay which [...]
George Harrison: Early Takes: Volume 1

DEVIN McKINNEY • Note: These are not new impressions, but ones jotted down in May 2012, the day Early Takes: Volume 1 came in the mail, and embellished more recently. George, in a photo taken in a Bahamian pool during the filming of Help!, holds his head above the water's crystal surface, his face the perfect expression of the solemn young seeker braving the eddies and tidepools of the material world: a Siddhartha for the '60s. The image is rich, quiet, suggestive, like George at his best. It's beautiful wrapping on a gift that isn't quite there. Olivia Harrison, Giles Martin, and [...]
The Beatles (at the BBC) Again

The Beatles, with Pete Best on drums, rehearse for their first BBC appearance, Playhouse Theatre, Manchester, June 11, 1962. Photo by Mike McCartney. DEVIN McKINNEY • What a bounty this autumn brings us. In addition to the long (as in loooong) awaited first volume of the Lewisohn biography (the multiple iterations of which will blanket like sweet snow our Fall and Winter); Kevin Howlett's The Beatles: BBC Archives 1962 to 1970, which looks indispensable for the cover alone; and The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story, a new graphic novel by Vivek J. Tiwary (which I can only hope comes [...]
Mike's Dream Bootleg: Beatles Complete Anthology Recording Sessions Box Set
By Michael Gerber|2013-08-03T18:08:08-07:00August 3, 2013|bootlegs, Revolver|
A beautiful sight for Beatles fans. One of my dreams for this site has been setting up a page for each UK album, then collecting all the available session recordings on YouTube, plus outtakes and remixes, and putting it in that one place. Organized chronologically, so that scholars could reconstruct the process by which the songs came to be—all the minute creative decisions that The Beatles did so well. Seems like I'm not the only one with these kind of ambitions. In Dullblog's vast refurb, I stumbled across something called "The Beatles Complete Anthology Recording Sessions Box Set," a 62 [...]
Wings Over an Alternate Universe
By Nancy Carr|2014-07-23T11:56:58-07:00June 13, 2013|bootlegs, Paul McCartney, Wings|
The first sign that this bootleg is a bit weirder than usual is the cover—not the straightforward band photo used on many bootlegs of this show, which features Paul in a remarkably hideous pink shirt. That whoever put together this cover thought it would be cool to paste a square-shaped snapshot of Linda's head over that of a painted angel who is facing a different direction is a signal, friends, of more weirdness ahead. The back cover may lull you into a false sense of security. Here, at least, is the standard tracklist for bootlegs of this show. And the bus photo [...]
The less-than-best cover
By Devin McKinney|2014-07-23T11:57:26-07:00February 18, 2013|bootlegs|
DEVIN McKINNEY • Mike said he'd be curious to see this (see comments to "The best cover" below). It was purchased in a bodega on a dusty side street in Ariquipa, Peru, late 1990s. Far from the strangest item in my Beatles closet, but far from the least interesting. (I should specify: This is not properly speaking a bootleg, but a pirate edition—an illegitimate recycling of previously released material.)
"Ultimate Beatles Record Collection"
By Nancy Carr|2021-11-23T14:18:31-08:00February 7, 2013|Beatles merch, bootlegs, Unreleased/Outtakes|
You'd need a temporary secretary, just to catalogue it This collection, up for sale on eBay through Saturday, lives up to its title. It's definitely the most comprehensive Beatles and Beatles-related one I've ever seen. There are records I've seen only in Bruce Spizer's books, like McCartney's "Walking in the Park with Eloise," what looks like a full run of the "Lost Lennon Tapes" LPs, and the Beatles bootleg "War and Peace." So many bootlegs, so many picture sleeves, so many rarities! Looking at it all, I'm amazed, moved, and disquieted. Amazed because it must have taken an enormous amount [...]

Dans le décor de campagne les Royaumes oubliés pour le jeu de rôle Donjons et Dragons, Éternelle-Rencontre est une île située loin à l'ouest du continent de Féérune et où les elfes (dont la plupart des elfes du soleil) se sont installés durant la Retraite.

L'île est gouvernée par la reine Amlaruil Fleurdelune, qui dirige depuis la capitale de Leuthilspar, et est le domaine de nombreuses maisons elfiques de premiers plans.

De nombreuses tentatives d'invasion ont eu lieu au cours des siècles, menées par les Sorciers Rouges de Thay, le Zhentarim, les drows de Féérune ou divers pirates de la Côte des Épées ou de la Mer Inviolée. Aucune de ces tentatives n'a réussi à conquérir l'île, dont les défenses incluent des vaisseaux spelljammer et des dragons (métalliques). En 1371, les forces alliées de la déesse drow Lolth, du dieu Malar et du traître Kymil Nimesin ont laissé de larges portions du territoire dévastées mais n'ont pas réussi à aller au bout de la conquête.

HS2 Construction Work Gets Go Ahead
Formal agreement has been given for construction to start
Residents in Mixbury, Brackley, Greatworth, Thorpe Mandeville and Chipping Warden who were hoping the construction of HS2 may still be cancelled have this morning had their hopes dashed after official agreement to begin construction was given. The government has formally given the go-ahead for work to start and says the UK cannot afford further delay to the rail project.
HS2 minister Andrew Stephenson said: "While the government's top priority is rightly to combat the spread of coronavirus, protect the NHS and save lives, we cannot delay work on our long-term plan to level up the country.
"HS2 will be the spine of the country's transport network, boosting capacity and connectivity while also rebalancing opportunity fairly across our towns and cities.
"Following the decision earlier this year to proceed with the project, this next step provides thousands of construction workers and businesses across the country with certainty at a time when they need it, and means that work can truly begin on delivering this transformational project."
It is understood that construction will be in line with guidance issued by Public Health England thereby allowing contractors to continue working during the coronavirus pandemic.
