James Harden a 'game time decision' to make long-awaited return to the Brooklyn Nets lineup
James Harden's progress from a hamstring injury has been slow, but the former MVP is on the cusp of return, with reports suggesting he will be a game time decision against San Antonio.
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/c8/c3/kane_avgmjwgse5oq1t5084s32nuvd.jpg?t=1299523902&w=500
By Kane Pitman @KanePitman
The Brooklyn Nets look set to regain superstar guard James Harden on the eve of the postseason.
ESPN's Malika Andrews has reported that the former MVP is likely to be a game-time decision for the game against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday morning.
As @wojespn reported on SportsCenter, the earliest date that James Harden may return for the Nets is Wednesday against the Spurs - that isn't a certainty, but Harden is getting close to returning.
- Malika Andrews (@malika_andrews) May 10, 2021
Harden has missed the last 18 games, originally suffering a hamstring injury on April 5, before suffering a setback on April 19.
The welcome news comes on the back of fellow superstar Kyrie Irving leaving the Nets latest game with a face contusion. The injury to Irving continues a run of bad luck, that has remarkably seen the big three of Harden, Irving and Kevin Durant suit up for just seven games together.
Harden was forcing his way into the MVP conversation prior to the injury, averaging 25.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game across 34 appearances with the franchise after being traded from the Houston Rockets.
The Nets are only "scary hours" with James Harden.
27-7 with him since the trade.
9-10 without him. pic.twitter.com/RzFfLy7ELB
- StatMuse (@statmuse) May 5, 2021
The Nets possess a 27-7 record with Harden in the lineup, which would be good for a 57-win pace across an entire 72-game season. Brooklyn is currently 45-24 with three games to play.
Currently second in the Eastern Conference, the Nets sit one game clear of Milwaukee, which could prove critical in a potential second-round series against the Bucks. Brooklyn finish the regular season with games against the San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, and Cleveland Cavaliers, all at home.

Overton Park's Old Forest is a constant source of information and inspiration to my family. Because we visit it way more frequently than we visit the Memphis Zoo, my children have firsthand knowledge of how animals really live in the wild -- at least on a small scale. If we did not have the Old Forest to balance out the artificial view of animals living "in the wild" that the zoo presents, I would not be a member.
After learning that the zoo recently clear-cut 4 acres of old-growth forest on their property to build the new Teton Trek exhibit, I was horrified. The zoo has plenty of wasted space and outright derelict areas that could be renovated or redeveloped without touching a single tree in Overton Park. I am astounded that an organization whose mission statement is "to use science and technology for greater understanding of the natural world's ecosystems, to preserve the biodiversity of our plants and animals and to educate the public on conservation priorities" would willfully destroy the 10,000-year-old ecosystem on its own property.
The Old Forest is one of Memphis' best-kept secrets and most valuable assets. It should be protected at all costs.
On our last visit to the Old Forest my family saw something amazing that we've never noticed before: a tree growing on top of the trunk of a huge fallen tree. Its roots miraculously reached over the uprooted trunk of the dead tree and lunged into the ground on the other side. Next, I discovered a turtle shell that was completely white, with small teeth marks where animals had been snacking on it. My 5-year-old found a fallen branch that was so decayed that it crumbled under his feet. A few feet away my husband pointed out a burl that had fallen off a tree. We all gathered around to check out the sap underneath. It was just an ordinary day in a most extraordinary place.
I left the Old Forest feeling high and in love with my city for preserving this small patch of heaven for me and my family to enjoy. The last time my family visited the zoo, I left exhausted and demoralized from endless requests for Dippin' Dots, flattened pennies, carousel rides and toys from the gift shop.
Memphis stopped an interstate to save Overton Park. Now the park is threatened to be destroyed from within by an administration which must not see the forest for the trees.
Concerned Memphians need to come together and fight, this time to save Overton Park from itself.
We stopped the camel and now we must stop the gnat.

Built in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century as part of a series of similar polygon shaped curtain walled castles protecting the Western Isles of Scotland.
The abandoned ruin of Mingary castle has recently been painstakingly renovated by a team of highly skilled craftsmen, who have made good the crumbling stonework, long lost roofs and floors buried deep in undergrowth, so once again Mingary can provide its guests with the finest of Highland hospitality.
Astute Fire provided fire engineering services on this project.


New XL 1200N Nightster From Harley-Davidson.
Re: New XL 1200N Nightster From Harley-Davidson.
Is it grayscale or color? Your bros will never know.
improved front brake lever effort.
Those brakes are MASSIVE. Good thing it's not fast.
how is this anything more than Bold! New! Graphics!? still the same polished turd with an antique tractor motor that it ever was.
It's cool but it will not sell. It's simply not fast enough at the track and will get circles run 'round it by 600 4's. This is the benchmark by which we guage motorcycles now, in case anybody missed it.
It looks like they were aiming at two mutually-exclusive targets. The front end says "1957 Sportster", the rest says "Billy Bike chopper." They just don't work together.
Now, a retro Sportster - that's cool and do-able. Fork gaiters, covered rear shocks, maroon-and-cream paint, flat seat. That'd be just the ticket for grabbing a Five Dollar Shake at Jack Rabbit Slim's.
You really have got to admire Harley's penchant for line extensions. 73 different bikes in each line that are virtually identical and it still seems to be working for them.
I kinda like the looks of this thing but it seems like anyone over 5' 5" tall is going to have a tough time fitting on it.
So, it's basically a 1200 Custom with some black paint and a few cosmetic doo-dads and a goofy name.
They'll probably sell them all.

Texas Rangers Best Boston Red Sox as Mitch Moreland Beats the Green Monster
By TJ Macías
Last year around this time in the American League West Division, normalcy was pretty much fundamental when speaking in terms of the MLB standings: The Oakland A's were leading the division with their 27-16 win/loss ratio over the Anaheim Angels, the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers, and of course, everyone's favorite tire-fire, the Houston Astros, a team whose primary pastime was playing well below .500 and was curiously fluent in the art of hardcore sucking.
What a difference a year makes.
While everyone in the league was assuming that the Astros had to be just a cruel long running April Fool's Day joke, Houston was busy preparing for a surprise. After a torturous 2014 season, the Astros ambuscaded the AL West at the start of their 2015 season, and now sit tightly at the top of the standings, a little over five games ahead of the second place Angels, eight games ahead of the Rangers, and (oddly enough) are currently playing Freaky Friday with last year's division leaders, the A's. (Moneyball the Sequel, anyone?).
However, with their 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday evening as they took the series 2-1, Texas is one full game closer to catching up with the West leaders. First baseman Mitch Moreland, backed up by a bulletproof bullpen, were the white knights invading Fenway Park that evening as they sliced through the Sox with their massive offensive bats and showy aggress performed by the relievers following starter Wandy Rodriguez. Moreland, the first baseman now dialed up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit after being the butt of so many jokes mere weeks prior, started off the night by driving in a run with a ground ball during the top of the first, and then another in the fourth as he slayed the Green Monster with an opposite field home run. Boston's only run came in the same inning, though the damage could have been significantly worse if Rodriguez hadn't nailed Dustin Pedroia out at home with a flip from his glove on a interesting looking tapper to catcher Carlos Corporan.
Rodriguez's night ended in the seventh at 109 pitches after losing Brock Holt on a 10-pitch walk as Keone Kela entered to complete the job (which included striking out Pedroia with an impressive 96 mph fastball) and get his team out of the inning unscathed.
Shawn Tolleson, who has been rather punctilious when composing his case for becoming the Rangers official long-term closing option, came in to finish off the night in the ninth and earned his first career save with his startling change-up against lefties (mainly on used Holt at the final bat of the evening).
While the Rangers are still significantly behind the Astros in the standings, they are proving that they're not a force to be taken lightly.
Texas heads over to New York open up a series with the 22-19 Yankees on Friday.

Our Croxley Green nursery is set in a purpose built building in Croxley Park in West Watford. Watford Business Park is just next door too. Entry to our bright and welcoming reception can only be accessed via our secure entry phone system. The nursery benefits from excellent outdoor facilities and large open plan rooms. All rooms are monitored by CCTV and we invite parents to watch this from the reception area to ensure their little one has settled.
Located on the Croxley Park in West Watford.
There is a large car park for dropping off and picking up and good transport links to Watford Town Centre, Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, Chorleywood and the surrounding areas. We even have a storage area for you to leave pushchairs and car seats if you need to.
Our dedicated staff team ensure all the children in our care are kept busy by offering a range of activities every day. Children take part in weekly sporting activities with Challenge Sport & Education and Tiny Mites run our music sessions. Our Pre-School children also have a weekly French lesson. Regular walks around the area are enjoyed by all – the fish pond and local park are particular favourites.
We'd love you to come and see us and see what we're all about, look around the nursery and meet the staff. Pop a few details in the following form and our nursery manager, Nicky will contact you to arrange a suitable data and time.
All that fun and learning can be exhausting, so there is a quiet area so that each baby can get as much rest as they need. Every child has their own cot and sheets, which are changed daily. The room also has en-suite changing facilities.
As children begin to discover the world around them, they need new challenges so they can explore in a safe and secure setting.
Our Toddler Room offers the ideal environment to have lots of fun and to learn new skills.
As required by the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, the team carry out daily observations to assess each child's progress against the prescribed learning goals and put together action plans and individual learning strategies to help them develop the skills he/she needs.
A nursery routine is followed in the Toddler Room and every day they will enjoy breakfast, circle time, a range of child-led and staff-led activities, lunch, rest, and more activities. Children can also enjoy plenty of fun in the safe and secure garden. If they need a nap after lunch, there is a quiet area where they can rest on sleeping mats.
Children with Special Educational Needs and those who have English as an additional language are very well planned for and we receive specialist support from Hertfordshire council.
We welcome some very special guests throughout the year, including the police, fire service, dentists and nurses. A local farm also brings in small animals, reptiles and birds several times a year. To support their learning and understanding, we take the children on supervised trips to the local supermarket, park and high street.
And as a way of encouraging children to be an independent as possible, they serve and feed themselves, choose their own snack, help set up and tidy away activities, and independently use the toilet.
When your child moves to school, we send completed transition documents so that the school can see the stage at which he/she is at and a learning journey profile, which has a detailed history of your child's learning.
Janice our chef has a wealth of experience and she makes sure every dietary requirement is met! She is proud to hold a 5* Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency.
During an inspection the inspector will spend as much time as possible observing children and staff to understand the way the nursery team relate to children and how well they care for children to help them to make progress in their learning. During their time at the nursery the inspector will check a sample of relevant documents as well as the premises and equipment.
Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green is proud to have achieved a 'Good' OFSTED rating at our last OFSTED Inspection.
Nicky started as a student in our Watford Nursery in 2011, she has worked her way up from a Nursery Nurse working with our babies and is now Nursery Manager at Croxley Green. She has numerous qualifications including a Level 3 and has experience working with all ages of children from Babies to Pre-School. With a clear understanding of children and their needs Nicky enjoys building strong partnerships with children and their families.


Gamers come in many different shapes and styles nowadays. In the early days of gaming most of us were stereotyped as introverted, basement dwelling, glasses-wearing weirdoes who were terrified of the outside world. Nowadays, with the success of gaming franchise, the influx of technology and the extensive use of online gaming communities the term gamer can apply to nearly anyone.
I happened to catch up with three employees at Allegheny Country Club in Sewickley, PA and asked them about their gaming styles and preferences. While they all share the similarity of being gamers their personalities and opinions of video games differed greatly.
Coming into the video game world later in his life likely contributed towards Hays' opinion of video games as a means of competition. Playing in college against friends, there is always a sense of friendly competition. In FPS games the whole premise is about being numero uno. The Call of Duty franchise is Hays' all-time favorite, "They change it (from game to game) ever so slightly to keep you interested," he said.
He admits that he loses interest in games where you cannot compete against another person. He actually laughs at the idea of comparing yourself (as a gamer) to a computer rather than a fellow person. He believes that it is in a gamer's best interest to compete against someone else; to him playing against a computer doesn't test your skills as a gamer.
Whereas, Rodrick Reese, a server, and Josh Kruenchy, a steward, both prefer single-player, role-playing game (RPG) styled games.
Both him and Josh prefer RPG games largely in part to the challenges they present and the escape to a new world offered only in the fictional reality of RPG gaming. Interestingly, enough both of them started playing video games when they were younger, in their elementary school years.
Before the success of online gaming majority of successful games were single player RPGs. Franchises like Final Fantasy (a favorite for both Reese and Kruenchy) and Legend of Zelda were focused on intricate storylines that forced the gamer to solve puzzles, quests, and demanding boss battles in order to beat the game. Often times, the games would provide such intense challenges that gamers became infatuated with the game itself because of the difficulty it provided.
As Kruenchy, points out he loves games that offer him a challenge. The harder the challenge the more he enjoys the game. He sees FPS games like Call of Duty as "take em or leave em" type games.
"I'll never see games like Hays' competitive side towards gaming. It (gaming) isn't competitive to me," he said.
Instead, he refers to games as an "escape." They offer him an exit to reality and a release from the stress of his day-to-day routine.
Despite being an avid RPG fan and FPS nay-sayer, Kruenchy does still play online rather often. He loves playing Final Fantasy XI, a massively multiplayer online (MMO) RPG.
"The team dynamic and team gameplay is what I love about it," he says. He enjoys the tactical dimension to games that MMORPG's like Final Fantasy XI bring. He finds it exhilarating to have to plan, organize, and strategize for days with fellow gamers from across the globe for certain missions or boss battles. To him, that sense of teamwork and gaming camaraderie is what keeps him hooked and coming back for more.
Both Reese and Hays' agree with his reasoning to play video games as a sort of stress reliever. Yet, they still have two very different approaches towards gaming.
While, Reese enjoys the same RPG style games he prefers playing offline, by himself. He doesn't mind playing online MMORPGs with others, but he admits that it can be bothersome to have to rely on other gamers especially if they are less talented. More often than not, he would rather play solo because he is aware of his own skill set and the goals he wishes to accomplish in his particular game of choice.
Meanwhile, Hays' continues to see games as a virtual proving ground, an escape to an artificial battleground to test your skills as a gamer. He admits that he likely fancies FPS and online gaming more than the other two (Reese & Kruenchy) largely because he got into gaming later in his life. Hanging in a dorm, playing Madden or C.O.D. against friends became a regular routine. He developed a gaming routine where success focused on dominating your opponents rather than completing a storyline.
All three of them have different gaming habits yet they all share the same passion. Despite his jest towards Reese and Kruenchy's admiration for Final Fantasy games Hays' is the first to admit it is their passion for video games that brings them together. It is their common bond.
Each one has a distinctively different personality than the other, but at any given moment those differences in philosophies vanish to talk shop over upcoming games and breakthroughs in the industry. The trio is proof that gamers have certainly come a long way from that agoraphobic stereotype they started off with.
Video game fans and active gamers are more common nowadays than they were a decade ago. It is still unique to see the difference between generations especially as evident as it is between Hays, Reese, and Kruenchy. The latter two share in enjoyment of old school RPGs because that was the popular genre at the time they began to get into video gaming.
Whereas, Hays, began exploring the video gaming world during the Xbox and PS3 era where online gaming exploded onto the scene. Before then, gamers could only play games via one console and one T.V. screen. They didn't have the luxury of logging on and suddenly being able to play with friends from other neighborhoods without ever having to leave the comfort of their own living rooms.
It is an evolution in the gaming industry that not only helped change gaming, but also the gaming culture. With the ability of thousands of gamers from across the globe being able to play against each other without ever leaving their homes, it suddenly made gaming – common.
The gaming community began having less and less gamers like Reese and Kruenchy who braved the grueling RPG worlds and more gamers like Hays who could quickly sign on and receive immediate satisfaction for besting fellow competitors and landing themselves atop the daily leaderboards.
It is amazing to see the evolution of gaming, but it is even more astounding to see how far the gaming culture extends. As evidence of these three, gaming is as common place in today's culture as sports or pop culture is.

Karen discovered a wonderful Mexican restaurant called La Morenita in Palo-Alto, California over 15 years ago which serves these amazing nachos that look like a blooming rose. She has been making them ever since, and is excited to share this easy recipe with you.
Spread the refried beans onto the bottom of a round oven-proof dish.
Spread the salsa on the top of the refried beans and then place the chips in a circular pattern starting in the centre of the dish.
Top with cherry tomatoes, olives and jalapeño peppers.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bean dip is warm.


Before we move ahead, we need to go back to the idea of invisible coins. We know from the island example that a distributed ledger allows you to transact with coins, even if the underlined coins don't physically exist (just like the coin at the bottom of the ocean). We also saw how it is nearly impossible to steal coins, because of the practice of each tribe member knowing exactly who owned each coin at any given point in time. Now imagine if these ledgers, instead of being stored in people's heads, are stored in computers online around the world managed by incentivized volunteers- it would still work just the way it did on the island. Each computer would have a copy of the ledger showing coin ownership and every time a person wanted to make a transaction, they would just announce to the computer network their intentions and all of the computers would update their internal ledgers to reflect said transaction. We would only be missing two things to make this workable in the real world.
First thing we're missing is a way to disguise the identities of people on the public ledger. Most of us would never be willing to put our names and transaction history in public view. This can be solved with a hash function and each person's identity details can be reduced to an unrecognizable 20 digit code, where only the owner knows the inputs required to generate the code, thus anonymizing participants.
The second thing we'd be missing to make this workable is a way to quickly compare ledgers between computers to make sure that they are starting from the same version of the transaction record- this can also be addressed with a hash function. Each computer can turn its ledger (which is just computer text) into a 20 digit code and compare with codes on the other computers. If the codes all agree (match), we know the ledgers are all the same, and if they are all the same, it is likely they all represent an accurate view of a coin's ownership. This makes it almost impossible to tamper with the ledger, because to do so a person would have to tamper with thousands of other ledger copies stored independently in computers all around the world.
This is Bitcoin- the digital currency that you've heard so much about and is probably the reason you've ended up here on Network's Learning Platform.

Chronic Disease: Still no Cures in Sight
by Dr. Rachel Nicoll
The developed world doesn't just have to cope with a Covid pandemic – we also have a pandemic of chronic disease (defined as a condition which is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects and for which there is no cure). A rough rule of thumb is to treat a condition as chronic if it lasts longer than three months; in 2012 this amounted to around 15 million sufferers in the U.K. and will be higher now. Examples of chronic conditions include Type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, dementia, lung disease, cancer… the list is endless.
Not only have many of these patients been effectively abandoned during the Covid crisis, with appointments cancelled, scans postponed and patients dying at home because they are discouraged from going to hospital, but if they do contract Covid they are likely to fare worse. All the chronic conditions listed above are Covid risk factors, making patients more susceptible to severe Covid and death. Furthermore, many of them are risk factors for other chronic conditions: T2D for cardiovascular disease, obesity for T2D, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, musculoskeletal disorders, mental health disorders and many more.
Why is there still no cure for chronic diseases? By 'cure', I am not referring to medical management through drugs that have to be taken for the remainder of life, I mean a complete reversal of the disease, so that the patient can say, for example, that they no longer have Alzheimer's disease or diabetes. With the trillions poured into medical research over the last several decades, we can be forgiven for asking what scientists have been doing all this time, as there seems to be very little to show for it in terms of reducing chronic disease. Furthermore, part of the definition of chronic disease includes the damning fact that it has no cure. So according to the current medical model, we apparently cannot prevent chronic disease and nor can we cure it; instead we must take ever-increasing numbers of drugs for the rest of our lives. In 2021, after decades of highly funded research, this is truly shocking. Not only is conventional medicine failing to cure chronic disease but the incidence of all chronic diseases is increasing dramatically.
Let me provide some examples:
In the U.K., 2019 figures show that 28% of adults are obese and a further 36.2% are overweight. Obesity incidence is now occurring at considerably younger ages, with 2019 data showing that 10% of children aged 4-10 are obese and 21% at age 10-11. The incidence of obesity is rising rapidly: there were four times as many hospital admissions with a diagnosis of obesity in 2016/17 compared with 2009/10.
Ten per cent of all people aged over 40 in the UK are now living with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes; this amounts to 4.7 million of us, expected to reach 5.5 million by 2030. This compares to 1.4 million in 1996. The problem is global; the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 5% increase in premature mortality from diabetes.
Many autoimmune conditions are becoming more common, with some increasing in incidence by as much as 9% each year. In the U.K., four million people are known to be living with at least one autoimmune condition, and many with several autoimmune conditions at the same time. Rheumatoid arthritis is increasing at 7% per year, Type 1 diabetes by 6.3%, coeliac disease by up to 9% per year.
According to Cancer Research U.K., there are over 164,000 cancer deaths in the U.K. each year, which is about 450 each day. One in two people in the U.K. born after 1960 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. In the U.S., cancer incidence increased by 12% between 1994 and 2016; in the 1940s, one in sixteen had a cancer diagnosis; this had increased to one in three by 2018.
There are currently around 850,000 people with dementia in the U.K. but this is projected to reach 1.6 million people in the U.K. by 2040. The global number of people living with dementia more than doubled from 1990 to 2016, while in the U.S., deaths from AD have risen 145% between 2000 and 2017. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that the number of people living with the disease doubles every five years beyond the age of 65. Most worryingly, those with early onset dementia have increased by 200% since 2013.
For some years cardiovascular disease mortality has been declining, despite increasing incidence of disease. However, in recent years, the rate of decline in CVD mortality has slowed in most developed countries, particularly at ages 35-74 years, and is now rising in 12 out of the 23 nations studied in 2017, including the U.K., the U.S. and Germany.
In the U.K., there was a sharp increase in the prevalence rates of autism in U.K. schools between 2010 and 2019. Autism currently affects 1–2% of the UK population – that is one per 100 children and two per 100 adults. According to the U.S. CDC, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing developmental disability, affecting one in 59 children (1970s: one in 5000). Prevalence has increased 10-17% each year over the last several years. It has been described as an 'autism tsunami'.
Prior to COVID-19, according to the Kings Fund, people with long-term conditions accounted for about 50% of all GP appointments, 64% of all outpatient appointments and over 70% of all inpatient bed days. Of course, we have far fewer GP appointments now as a result, so this figure for the last couple of years will be artificially lowered and will not represent the true needs of patients with chronic conditions.
The U.S. is so concerned about the 'pandemic of chronic disease' that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has recently undertaken a new initiative focusing on the increasing number of patients with multiple chronic conditions, estimated to affect more than 25% of Americans and consume 66% of US healthcare costs. The objective is to use evidence-based research to improve the care offered to these patients. It is notable that there is no objective to prevent or cure these multiple chronic diseases.
So what is going on? Even allowing for improved diagnostic techniques possibly increasing incidence rates, it is perfectly clear that there is no decline in incidence of these chronic diseases through provision of improved prevention and treatment. Chronic disease used to be something one accepted in old age, but this summer saw the publication of the 1970 British Cohort Study, which periodically tracks the lives of about 17,000 people. This showed that around one in three people in their late 40s has multiple chronic health issues.
Yet during the Second World War, we were apparently extremely healthy, despite rigorous food rationing. So what has changed over the last 70 years? Certainly not our genes, because although genes do evolve, they do not evolve to this extent in such a short period of time. Instead, we have introduced many more highly toxic chemicals into our food, our water and our air. We eat more, we eat more unhealthy foods and we have become 'couch potatoes'.
Surely it is time for our Government and National Health Service to address the elephant in the room and acknowledge the extent to which our health is being damaged? Introducing a sugar tax and similar measures is just fiddling on the margins, playing lip service to improving health without actually tackling the issue head on. It is also time for the U.K. population to demand better from their government and healthcare providers? Without a complete reset of the medical model, we do not have 'health care', we have 'disease care'.
Maybe it is also time to accept that the vast majority of medical research has not provided, and is not going to provide, a cure for chronic diseases. All it has achieved is improved patient 'management', usually drug-induced symptom suppression. This is a far cry from Sir William Osler's precept: "One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine."
While it is true that most of the medical research is carried out in the U.S., nevertheless, the U.K. does undertake some research of its own. Expenditure on research in 2018/19 amounted to just over £1.6 billion, while overall healthcare spending in 2019 was £225 billion. In 2011, 70% of the U.K. healthcare budget was spent on chronic disease; it is likely that by 2019 that percentage would have increased but even if it has not this means that around £160 billion is devoted to 'managing' chronic disease. So using the most recent figures available before distortion by Covid, we spend £1.6 billion on medical research, only a proportion of which relates to chronic disease, compared to the current chronic disease care costs of £160 billion, i.e., just 1%. Furthermore, evidence suggests that less than 1% of high quality medical research is translated into clinical practice, meaning that only 0.01% of the £1.6 billion spent on medical research could actually be impacting clinical practice (i.e., £160,000). Surely our research budget could be better spent?
As I was writing this article, a timely email arrived informing me about Public Health Collaboration, a group of doctors and other health professionals, headed by Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who have launched a rival to Public Health England (PHE) and its successor, the U.K. Health Security Agency, to help combat obesity, poor diet and medical misinformation. The founders claim that PHE has failed in its responsibilities to the public, while the NHS can no longer cope with the demands placed on it by chronic disease. They point out that the two major industries, food and pharmaceuticals, mislead for profit and are the major root of our healthcare crisis. Unhealthy food and toxic chemicals – I rest my case!

The English Language: From Sound to Sense

Grounded in linguistic research and argumentation, The English Language: From Sound to Sense offers readers who have little or no analytic understanding of English a thorough treatment of the various components of the language. Its goal is to help readers become independent language analysts capable of critically evaluating claims about the language and the people who use it. Written in a clear style, The English Language guides its readers on topics including basic assumptions about language and discourse, pronunciation, word-formation strategies, parts of speech, clause elements and patterns, how clauses can be combined into sentences, and how clauses and sentences can be modified to suit speakers' and writers' discourse purposes.
The English Language avoids presenting the language as set of arbitrary facts by grounding its conclusions in the analytic methods that have characterized the best grammatical and linguistic practices for hundreds of years. Although its perspectives derive from modern-traditional and generative grammar, its goal is to provide its readers with a broad spectrum of basic knowledge about English. Its stance is rigorously descriptive, but the object of its description is the standard variety of the language, thus making it an invaluable resource compatible with a wide range of purposes, including educated engagement with the language issues that periodically convulse the media and educational institutions.
Each chapter contains a glossary of terms, a list of readings, and numerous exercises (many using authentic texts).
Gerald P. Delahunty is Associate Professor of Linguistics and English and Assistant Chair of the Colorado State University Department of English, where he teaches courses on all aspects of linguistics and occasional courses on Irish literature. He has published on syntactic theory, English syntax, sociolinguistics, and Irish archaeology.
James J. Garvey taught linguistics and literature courses in the Department of English at Colorado State University. He died tragically in 2006.


It's that time of the year when scary stuff abound – from stories to movies to TV documentaries. People dress up as vampires, ghosts, goblins, and monsters. Some decorate their homes with skulls and cobwebs and Jack O' lanterns.
Needless to say I'm thrilled with all these considering my fascination of the paranormal. Blame it on Stephen King. But allow me to share these personal experiences which are weird, scary, and sometimes funny. You decide.
You know how it is with urban legends. It's not true but for some reason it tries to cross over reality. Back in college, I heard the story of 'Mananabas' who apparently is an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) driven to madness because of his wife's infidelity. He then murdered his whole family and is now in Baguio, my hometown, posing as a taxi driver, searching for other victims.
Did I get all the information from the news? From a very creative friend? Or is it a story concocted by my imaginative mind? I don't remember. What I do remember is riding a taxi one midnight, the taxi driver announcing to his radio, "I have one soul," while staring malevolently at me through the rear-view mirror.
I instinctively jumped out like a stuntman, and ran as fast as I could. My friends couldn't hide their disbelief as I relayed my story. They were even teasing but they said I looked so scared and was white as a sheet.
I was a staff of the school paper and decided, one day, to do some work in the office. I unlocked the door and let myself in. At the same instant, something/someone (?) saved me the effort of turning on the computer as it roared to life on its own.
"This school used to be a cemetery." It's common in the Philippines to hear that especially from kids. Probably just to scare each other. Coincidentally, though, there are numerous reports of spirit possessions happening in schools.
So it was a bit scary when we went to a school and found out that they conducted an actual exorcism the previous day. What's worse, we had to stay there for the night. True enough, we experienced unexplainable movements and sounds but I'm glad to say we were able to survive that.
I was brushing my teeth one evening when I suddenly felt a cold draft of air. All the doors and windows were closed.
The following morning, I learned that my grandmother passed away the same time I felt her apparent goodbye.
You're fast asleep. Then you open your eyes. But you can't move. Your heart is beating fast. You feel a scary presence. It's seating by the side of the bed. Staring at you though you can't see its eyes. You just see the long black hair and a face of nothingness.

Q: ASP.NET MVC code modal popup not sending parameter to controller I am trying to present Organization Details in a partial view in a Bootstrap Modal. After a day of reading/watching tutorials I am stumped.
Organizations are loaded into a Table and there is a View option on each row. The table has an id="OrganizationGrid"

        @Html.ActionLink("ID", "Index", new { sortOrder = ViewBag.IDSortParm, currentFilter=ViewBag.CurrentFilter })

        @Html.ActionLink("Name", "Index", new { sortOrder = ViewBag.NameSortParm, currentFilter=ViewBag.CurrentFilter })

        Parent Org

        Website

        Comment

      Action

    @foreach (var item in Model) {

        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Id)

        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)

        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ParentOrg.Name)

         item.Website) target="_blank">

        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Comment)

        View

    }

My understanding is that it triggers the JavaScript function which is currently residing at the bottom of the same page:

I inserted a break in the controller to see if ajax was passing the organizationId but it is not.  This is the Controller Details Action method:
 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Details(int organizationId)
    {

        var organization = _context.Organizations
            .Include(o => o.ParentOrg).Where(p=>p.Id == organizationId);

        if (organization == null)
        {
            return NotFound();
        }
        return PartialView("_Details", organization);
    }

If I hard code organizationId in the Controller the popup loads with the correct information BUT if I hard code organizationId in the JavaScript function it still passes a null value to the controller.  Could someone please point me in the right direction.

A: The issue was with the JavaScript function and specifically the syntax of the data attribute in ajax.  Corrected solution is as follows:

$(function () {
            $("#OrganizationGrid .details").click(function () {
                var organizationId = $(this).closest("tr").find("td").eq(0).html();

                //alert(organizationId)
                 $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "/Organizations/Details",
                    data: { 'id': organizationId },
                    //contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

"Wall of Hope" artwork at Hostos Community College
By TANYANIKA SAMUELS for the New York Daily News
Hundreds of bricks once used as anti-immigrant messages are finding a new artistic purpose in one of the borough's most diverse communities.
Artist Hatuey Ramos-Fermín is creating a two-part art installation piece called "Conversing Bricks" at Hostos Community College in Mott Haven.
The installation uses bricks that anti-immigrant groups sent to Capitol Hill in 2006 as Congress debated building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter illegal immmigrants.
"I hope this project becomes a symbolic place for gathering, for conversations and a place for reflection," said Ramos-Fermín, 33, of Mott Haven. "I want people to be able to reflect on how important immigrants are in this country, and in the Bronx."
Thousands of bricks with slogans like "No to illegals" and "Secure our border" were sent to members of Congress who opposed the wall.
Congressman José E. Serrano collected 273 bricks and brought them back to the Bronx where they sat outside a local church.
"These bricks had nasty comments on them," Serrano recalled. "So I came up with the idea to say 'Why don't I take these bricks and do just the opposite, and make them a tribute to all immigrants.'"
He partnered with Bill Aguado , now artistic director of the Bronx Heritage Music Center, who spearheaded the effort to create an art piece and find an artist.
"It's a very genuine and respectful project," Aguado said. "It speaks to our heritage, whether you're from the islands or the South, it doesn't matter. We are all immigrants and we need to learn to respect each other."
Since the bricks were kept outside, the weather stripped away most of the messages. Only 30 of them remain in tact.
Ramos-Fermín held a series of workshops last month and asked local immigrants to include their own messages on the bricks.
"I saw it as a way to connect the history of the bricks," Ramos-Fermín said. "You can see the past and the present side by side."
Last Saturday, Ramos-Fermín, Serrano and Aguado joined others to dedicate the first phase of "Conversing Bricks," a 4-foot tall wall in Hostos' Memorial Plaza.
"Now we have a wall of hope rather than a wall of division," Serrano said.
The second phase, to be dedicated this summer, will feature a roundtable using the remaining bricks.
"With a roundtable, there's no head or foot. No one can claim more importance than another person," Ramos-Fermín said. "So no matter your immigration status, you are all the same."

FTTH now second to HFC in North American broadband homes passed: Fiber Broadband Association
Fiber to the home (FTTH) became the second most frequently used fixed broadband connection medium in North America during 2018, according to new figures from the Fiber Broadband Association and RVA, LLC. All-fiber access networks surpassed xDSL connections with nearly 60 million homes able to receive FTTH and 23.8 million homes connected.
The totals, which are current as of September 2018, represent a 22% increase from 2017 in terms of homes marketed (which RVA distinguishes from "homes passed" as a more telling indicator of market potential). Not surprisingly, most of these homes, 40.8 million, are in the U.S. Another 5.6 million are in Canada, 13.1 million in Mexico, and 350,000 in the Caribbean, according to RVC.
Looking closer at the U.S., new homes marketed hit a record 5.9 million in 2018, RVC reports. Of the 40.8 million homes marketed, 39.2 million are "unique" (in that they don't have more than one all-fiber operator competing for their business). Overall, 18.4 million homes in the U.S. are connected via FTTH. All-fiber broadband network providers in the U.S. enjoy a 47% take rate on average, one of the strongest take rates globally, RVA LLC President Michael Render said during a webinar held last week to release the survey results. Tier 1 telco operators account for 72.6% of FTTH connections, with Tier 2 and 3 operators responsible for 10.3%. Cable operators oversee 5.5% of FTTH connections in the U.S., reports RVC.
Render said on the webinar that U.S. FTTH deployment growth may slow beginning next year, pointing out that AT&T should complete the majority of its AT&T Fiber deployments it promised the FCC when it acquired DirecTV within the next 12 months.
Meanwhile, Canadian operators are rolling out fiber faster than their U.S. counterparts, at least in terms of percentage of homes marketed versus total homes, Render noted during the webinar. Overall, FTTH still has a way to go to threaten hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) for the top spot on the broadband technology leader list. A little more than 50% of broadband connections in North America come via HFC, with not quite 25% coming via FTTH.
"The fiber industry is on fire," said Lisa R. Youngers, president and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association. "Fiber holds the key for next-generation connectivity, from 5G to smart cities to the Internet of Things. This research and analysis helps keep the industry, consumers, and policymakers informed about our Association's progress towards a better connected future. I am excited to work with our industry partners to keep up this momentum in 2019."

A Turkish court has handed out hefty jail sentences over the death of 301 miners in Turkey's deadliest ever mine disaster in the Soma district of the western province of Manisa on May 13, 2014.
The court ruled on July 11 to jail Can Gürkan, the mine owner, for 15 years, and the mine's general manager, Ramazan Doğru, for 22.5 years.
The mine's operations director Akın Çelik received a jail sentence of 18.5 years, while his deputy, İsmail Adalı, was given a sentence of 22.5 years.
A total of 301 mine workers were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning on May 13, 2014 after an explosion at the Soma Coal Mine Company's mine.
More than 700 miners were inside the mine when a fire erupted during a shift change.
The accident sent shockwaves through Turkey, drawing delayed attention to the lack of job security and sparking outcry against companies making millions of dollars in profits without investing in the safety of their workers.
A prosecutor demanded the arrest of Soma Holding's chairman Alp Gürkan on March 26 over the 2014 disaster, but the court declined this demand.
Fifty-one suspects were accused of failing to provide adequate safety measures leading to Turkey's worst ever industrial disaster.
A total of 301 jail terms of up to 25 years were sought for each suspect in the case.

Q: How to get the conflicted field name of ArangoDB I have a code like this
let item = { name: 'Roger' }

try {
   return await collection.save(item)
}
catch (err) {

}

Now the collection I'm saving to has a Unique index on the field called name. Now during the exception handling the err object would look something like this
{
  "isArangoError": true,
  "response": {
    "_readableState": {
      "objectMode": false,
      "highWaterMark": 16384,
      "buffer": {
        "head": null,
        "tail": null,
        "length": 0
      },
      "length": 0,
      "pipes": [

      ],
      "flowing": true,
      "ended": true,
      "endEmitted": true,
      "reading": false,
      "sync": true,
      "needReadable": false,
      "emittedReadable": false,
      "readableListening": false,
      "resumeScheduled": false,
      "paused": false,
      "errorEmitted": false,
      "emitClose": true,
      "autoDestroy": false,
      "destroyed": false,
      "defaultEncoding": "utf8",
      "awaitDrainWriters": null,
      "multiAwaitDrain": false,
      "readingMore": true,
      "decoder": null,
      "encoding": null
    },
    "body": {
      "code": 409,
      "error": true,
      "errorMessage": "unique constraint violated - in index name_is_unique of type persistent over 'name'; conflicting key: 15816187",
      "errorNum": 1210
    },
    "arangojsHostId": 0
  },
  "statusCode": 409,
  "errorNum": 1210,
  "code": 409
}

While the error message is indeed helpful in conveying that name should be unique, wish there is an attribute/field in the error object to grab the conflicted field name.
How to get the field name other than regex parsing from the error message?
