I pretty much agree with Steven on this one. I enjoyed "The Final Deletion," but I too was underwhelmed by "The Great War." I don't really think I could rate either of the matches, just because they are so different than a typical wrestling match. But, I thought TFD was pretty funny and entertaining. I didn't really feel the same way about TGW. I laughed when Hardy was smashing pumpkins, and I enjoyed the piano entrance. But, other than that I guess it's just not my thing. I do not plan on watching either one of them for a second time. But, it's one of those things I'd throw on hanging out with some friends if they wanted to watch it for a laugh.

Marufuji defeated Okada on night 1 of the G-1 Climax this year. In addition, both of these competitors are the respective aces of the promotions that waging an inter-promotional feud with one another.
The chop duel is an interesting thing to me. A competitor must leave themselves vulnerable to stiff blows, over and over again, and for what? To prove their toughness? To prove their grit? To prove merely that they can take the punishment? To prove that you have to go to Japan to find the toughest-looking chops of them all?
Okada leaves himself open in this way many times in this match, at the transition point between the middle section and the latter. Even at this point, after having taken a great deal of punishment, Okada feels the need to display his toughness. More promotions have seen more moves done on the ring apron of late, and Marufuji's piledriver on Okada truly takes the cake, yet even after this Okada must display his toughness. Marufuji's closest near-fall is probably the one he gets right after that piledriver, when Okada barely beats the count back into the ring and Marufuji is waiting with a top-rope dropkick directly to the head, yet even after this Okada must display his toughness. I get it. He's double-tough.
It makes enough sense, then, that Okada feels the need to pur Marufuji away with not just one or two finishers, but three in a row. Toughness is going around here.
This match felt like the generic NJPW main event, where they do a lot of things that may look good, but it just feels soulless. In fact it feels like those Oscar bait movies. You know, like those Sandra Bullock movies that nobody actually likes, but gets nominated for the Oscar.
That's not to say there wasn't some good stuff here. If you take a minute here or there, things looked good, it's the whole picture that just doesn't work for me. It just feels like stuff after stuff after stuff. The worst parts of the match was that piledriver on the apron, which looked awkward and really dangerous, but not in a good way and that Rainmaker counter near the end that looked like the lightest lariat in history.
If you like NJPW big main events, you'll probably like this, but to me I'm bored to death with them.
Kazuchika Okada does not tend to fight with emotion. Don't misunderstand me, it's not that he doesn't display determination or passion for what he's doing. It's more that he fights with a cocky detachment and confidence because he fights in a way that makes him impossible to overwhelm and he never entirely is out of his element. What's made this feud with Naomichi Marufuji so interesting and fun is how completely overwhelmed Okada has been from the start of it. As a character, what makes Okada so fun is to watch how he adapts to each opponent. If an opponent like Naito is faster than him, he's happy to adapt and use his larger than average size to leverage a power advantage. With a larger, plodding opponent like Bad Luck Fale, Okada will happily take to the air. He fights, gets shrugged off, adjusts his style to hammer on his opponent's weakness, and wins.
Marufuji was the Gordian knot that could not be solved. For every adaptive strategy Okada took, Marufuji had a counter leading back to a high knee and light superkick. Each time Okada backed off and tried a different approach to the assault, and every time Marufuji adapted his defensive strategy and shrugged him off. My favorite of these was around Okada's third or fourth change to his strategy. Whether through conscious decision or complete frustration, Okada gave in to his emotion and attacked Marufuji with an intense blind rage. It met the same result as every other plan he tried. Okada spent this entire match on his heels, getting small pieces of Marufuji, but never anything sustained. When the tide finally swung his way for good it was only through luck and managing the right counter (and getting the right piece of Marufuji) at the right time.
The final sequence summed up the bout as a chess match. A Shiranui attempt from Marufuji gets countered to a Rainmaker by Okada. A weakened Marufuji counters another Rainmaker with a small package and then goes right back on offense. A lucky slip lets Okada counter a high knee into a tombstone. Another tombstone appears to be countered by Marufuji into an escape. Marufuji's escape attempt moves him out of position for a tombstone and into position for an Emerald Flowsion (the finishing move of Marufuji's mentor, Misawa), an opportunity that Okada takes. This was a conflict between two strategists where the only degree of victory was that of a minor slip on a counter. A small sliver of luck was what won the final battle.
Marufuji and Okada have had an interesting relationship over the past few months. It's not often Okada is made to look vulnerable against many in Shin Nihon Puroresu, but Marufuji, an outsider (of sorts), has notably had his number. He beat Okada in the G1. He felled Okada and YOSHI-HASHI's attempt to dethrone him and Toru Yano of the GHC belts in NOAH. And boy were there moments in this rematch for Okada's IWGP title where they made it look like Marufuji may just have all the answers to the young supposed ace of New Japan. I think that ended up being the beauty of this one. Although certainly a bloated like a lot of the modern day New Japan main event style matches, when it came time to really push forwards the important bullet points of this budding rivalry, it definitely came through. Marufuji would steadily pepper Okada with his trademark chest chops and superkicks (that actually connected flush) throughout the match to wear down the younger champ. That's another good side point actually. Marufuji just looks so much more motivated in this setting and actually willing to work a little stiffer, like he has something to prove on the big stage. I guess it's hard to blame him when you work in front of the lackadaisical crowds of NOAH of the recent era, knowing your match will probably be ruined by impending interference.
Marufuji was able to counter the Rainmaker with a gigantic knee strike and ended up pelting Okada with another one in the corner that looked like it straight up killed the dude. Again, awesome sell from Okada. They had me biting on a false finish here when Marufuji followed it up with the Shiranui for a near fall. When he went for a second, Okada clocked him with a Rainmaker and held the wrist as he went down. The whole Okada holding the wrist thing they've been doing is really cool and I think adds to the narrative that Okada didn't want to let Marufuji free and give him an opening. Loved the finish that saw Okada hit an Emerald Flowsion followed by one final Rainmaker. What a slap in the face to the NOAH veteran being beat by one of his own mentor's moves. Excellent job by these two in the end, even if the journey took awhile to get there. I think this has to be Marufuji's best performance in years and this is coming from a guy who has knocked a ton of his recent work. This felt big time. Marufuji felt like the most danger Okada has been in since Naito was in the picture and I think that's such an important aspect in keeping Okada fresh.

So much as been said and written about Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue", it's virtually impossible to summarize all the info to the length of this page. We could simply list some facts (best sold Jazz album ever worldwide).
This is a very special version of the most influential jazz album ever. Offered here is the original album in remastered form plus an extra LP containing 2 tracks that weren't available on vinyl previously (an alternate take of "Flamenco Sketches" and a version of "On Green Dolphin Street" recorded prior to the Kind of Blue sessions, with the legendary line-up of Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb).


Prior to Assad's big summer both Flowrestling and The Open Mat rated Assad in the 80s for their top 100 recruits for the class of 2019. Assad's stock blew up when he went into Akron and defeated New Jersey's Julian Ramirez two matches to one to claim USA's 80 kg World Team spot at the Cadet World Championships. The tournament boosted Assad from #83 to #13 in Flowrestling's 2019 Big Board($), and got a similar boost by TOM to #11 ($).
The connections between Iowa and Assad are strong with former Glenbard North star Tony Ramos having a successful career for the Hawkeyes from 2010-2014. Assad is also a member of the Izzy Style Wrestling Club, which has some connections to the Hawkeye program. Former Izzy Style club member Vince Turk was Iowa's starter at 141 pounds this past season.
Additional accolades for Assad include winning a bronze medal at the 2018 Cadet World Championships in freestyle. He also claimed the 2018 Illinois state title at 170 pounds, took third at USA Wrestling's Preseason Nationals in 2017, and placed in both styles at Fargo for two straight years. In 2016 Assad took second in Greco-Roman and sixth in freestyle, then took first in Greco and second in freestyle last summer.
Assad joins fellow 2019 commit Zach Glazier and Patrick Kennedy as Hawkeye verbals. Last week we projected Iowa's lineup through 2021 Assad was obviously absent from the list. With his commitment to Iowa now official he will be a strong challenger to Myles Wilson after a redshirt season.

Ghana not back to HIPC – Oppong Nkrumah
Tue, 27 Oct 2020 Source: Peace FM
Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has debunked claims that Ghana has once again been ranked in the category of Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC).
According to him, the numerous publications making rounds on social media purporting that the country has returned to HIPC is false and fake news.
Speaking at the Nation Building Updates on Tuesday in Accra, the Minister noted that because the country is approaching a general election in December, there is a deliberate attempt to discredit the work government has done since assuming office in 2017 to revive the economy.
He said "there are suggestions being spread particularly on social media that Ghana has been declared HIPC again and I am sure you would have noticed that a lot of persons are sharing materials on social media that the IMF or World Bank has declared Ghana HIPC or listed Ghana as one of the HIPC countries and it is a suggestion that the economy is not as good a shape that we claim it is.
"For the avoidance of doubt and because we have also mentioned that we are aware that some persons in the weeks ahead of the elections will seek to spread a lot of false information and fake news, it is important to quickly respond to it right here and right now. Categorically, we say to you it is not true that Ghana has been declared HIPC or has been added to the list of HIPC countries," he added.
The HIPC was a group of 39 developing countries with high levels of poverty and debt overhang who qualified for financial assistance from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and other multilateral, bilateral and commercial creditors between 1996 and 2001. It was designed to ensure the reduction in the debt levels of poor and indebted countries.
This the Minister emphasized that the HIPC was a programme limited to a particular point in time that Ghana and a number of African countries applied, benefited, exited and was done with it.
"The publication out there list the countries that participated and qualified for it. Currently, there is no HIPC programme for any country to qualify for so if anybody is spreading that and adding to it a narrative that suggests that Ghana is now a highly indebted poor country and has been listed on an IMF or World Bank publication as such.
However, the Minister encouraged the general public to disregard such publications. He also admonished the media to be circumspect and thoroughly conduct background checks before publishing news items.

History of MOT Checks
The MOT certificate is part and parcel of motoring in the UK. We're all familiar with the idea that every year you take your car, bike or van along to your local MOT testing station. A mechanic gives it the once over, and decides whether it passes or fails. This basic premise of the test hasn't changed since the test was first introduced. But lots of other aspects of the MOT test have changed. Here's a quick spin through the history of the MOT test.
1960 – First MOT Test
Although the motor car was invented at the end of the 19th century, it wasn't until 1960 that the British government decided to introduce a test to make sure vehicles on the road were safe. Until the end of the Second World War, not many people in the UK owned a vehicle. At the start of the 1950s, only about 18% of UK households had a car. By the end of the decade, this had risen to 40%. This rise in car ownership also created a huge spike in deaths on the UK roads. This combination of rising second hand car ownership and increased road fatalities was behind the 1956 Road Traffic Act. Ernest Marples, the Secretary of State for Transport, drew up initial plans for the "ten year test", a basic check on car safety when a car reached ten years old, and every year after that. The test came into force in 1960 and although officially known as the Ministry of Transport test, it was soon abbreviated to MOT.
1961 – First Changes
Just a year into the test, the number of vehicles failing the basic tests on brakes, lights and steering was much higher than expected. The high failure rate prompted the government to reduce the minimum age for a car's first MOT test from ten years to seven. By today's standards the tests were still fairly rudimentary, and mainly looked at the very basics. Back in 1961, a MOT test would cost you 14 shillilngs; 70p in today's money. You also had to pay another shilling (5p) for your certificate.
Late 60s – Further Reduction and More Changes
By 1967, the age for a car's first MOT was reduced to three years, and remains at that age to this day. One strange anomaly is the situation in Northern Ireland; it's the only part of the UK where a car doesn't need a MOT test until it reaches the age of four. There have been repeated calls to bring Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK but whether that means reducing the NI age to three years or increasing the rest of the UK to four remains to be seen. Another important change happened in 1968, when an inspection of tyres was added to the MOT test. At that point, tyres had to have a minimum tread depth of 1mm, less than the current requirements of 1.6mm minimum on all four tyres.
1977 – More Extensive Tests
The next big change to MOT tests came in 1977, when the test was expanded beyond the very basics covered in the 1960s test. As cars got more sophisticated, so did the tests. Cars had their indicators, windscreen wipers, inspection of the chassis and exhaust were added into the standard MOT test. By 1977, there were about half the number of cars on the UK roads than there are now. Around 15 million cars went through the MOT test each year.
1994 – Emissions Checks
By 1994, concern about road pollution and exhaust fumes from diesel vehicles was a growing concern. The government of the day introduced emissions tests to the MOT, which first affected only diesel vehicles. Cars were required to meet a minimum cleanliness standard to pass the MOT. Over the years since 1994, the rules have been tightened further, and now involve petrol as well as diesel vehicles.
2005 – MOT Goes Digital
The government are usually fairly slow at adopting new technology, and it wasn't until 2005 that the MOT became computerised. All MOT results from 2005 onwards are not stored on the DVLA database. If you know the registration number of a car, you can use this to search the database and see its MOT history. This is a very useful tool for anyone thinking about buying a used car. The history of the vehicle is more transparent and sellers can't lie about a past failure of a vehicle. You can use the same web page to see whether a car is currently taxed or not.
2018 – Big Changes in the Pass/Fail System
Until 2018, the MOT was straightforward. Your vehicle either passed, or failed. However, in 2018 the government created two separate categories of failure. Now, failures are either major or dangerous. A major failure is something which needs immediate attention, but which doesn't affect the car's roadworthiness. It could be something like a headlamp not working, or a faulty exhaust. If your car fails on a major defect, you have the choice of allowing the testing garage to do the repairs or take it elsewhere. The other type of fault is a dangerous defect. This is the type of fault which makes your car not fit to be on the road, for example tyres being below the minimum tread depth. If your car fails on a dangerous defect, you can't take it away for fixing elsewhere as you've been told it's not safe to drive. Get it fixed by the garage which did the test, or arrange for a tow truck.
Other Important Things to Know
It's not just cars which need MOT tests – the law applies to motorbikes, vans, lorries and taxis too. In fact, the requirements for taxis and other private hire vehicles are stricter than for private cars. One class of vehicles which is exempt from MOT checks is classic cars. Any car first registered more than 40 years ago doesn't need a test. Similarly, any vehicle which is never driven on public roads, such as a tractor or farm Land Rover doesn't need a MOT test either.

What Is the Controversy With Britney Spears and Elton John's New Song?
August 29, 2022 by Dwomoh Darlingberg
Princess of Pop Britney Spears has made a triumphant return to music with her new Elton John duet, "Hold Me Closer." However, before she released the song, the musician deleted her Instagram and transferred her thoughts to Twitter. There have also been rumors that parts of the song were changed to Britney's displeasure.
Why did Britney delete her Instagram? What about the song is causing controversy? And most importantly, how does Britney feel now? Here's everything you need to know about "Hold Me Closer," explained.
Why is Britney and Elon's song causing controversy?
Conspiracy theorists on TikTok believed that Britney initially wasn't happy with the release of "Hold Me Closer" after she teased the song on her Instagram, then deleted the app. Following the song's release, Britney's closest friends and family, including husband Sam Asghari and long-time friend Paris Hilton, celebrated the success of the record on the platform.
Music producer Andrew Watt, who worked with Elton and Britney on the track, said in an interview with The Guardian that Britney was "incredibly specific" and often re-recorded ad-libs or belts until she got the sound she wanted until it was just right.
A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn)
"She kept going: 'Nope, again, again, again.'" Andrew says, then, "She wanted to listen to the music a bunch of times and she started doing all her incredible ad libs that make the record so her. Tiny Dancer with her voice is special enough, but then she went through and did all these amazing runs."
Elton John admitted to The Guardian that Britney was initially apprehensive to release "Hold Me Closer," but that anything released would only be with her express approval.
"We had to get her to approve what she did," he says. "She's been away so long – there's a lot of fear there because she's been betrayed so many times and she hasn't really been in the public eye officially for so long. We've been holding her hand through the whole process, reassuring her that everything's gonna be alright."
Why did Britney Spears delete her Instagram?
On Aug. 24, 2022, Britney posted a snippet of herself and Elton John performing "Hold Me Closer," per Billboard, but shortly after deleted her Instagram and moved her thoughts to Twitter instead. There, she wrote a lengthy message about her new single and "choos[ing] happiness."
The songstress began, "Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years!!!! It's pretty damn cool that I'm singing with one of the most classic men of our time … @eltonofficial !!!! I'm kinda overwhelmed… it's a big deal to me!! I'm meditating more and learning my space is valuable and precious !!!"
She continued, "I'm learning everyday is a clean slate to try and be a better person and do what makes me happy … yes I choose happiness today. I tell myself every day to let go of the hurt bitterness and try to forgive myself and others to what may have been hurtful."
Britney concludes, "I want to be fearless like when I was younger and not be so scared and fearful. I pray there actually is truth to the Holy Spirit and I hope that spirit is with my children as well !!! Yes … I choose happiness and joy today!!!"
Although she doesn't give a specific reason for deleting her Instagram, it's not the first time Britney has shut down her platform. In the past, she's hopped back on the app a few days later. Many celebrities such as Tom Holland and Shawn Mendes have recently announced taking a break from social media, so it's not surprising that Britney might want a little privacy ahead of her first song in six years.
"Hold Me Closer" is now available for streaming on all music platforms.

The pentathletes are about to mount horses they know nothing about, with just 20 minutes to warm up, before tackling double and treble jumps and 10 other obstacles in the showjumping event. It's the least predictable and most challenging of the pentathlon sports. The highly tuned athletes not only rely on their own skills and fitness – they are also at the mercy of an unknown element: a horse. The temperament and ability of the horse is an extremely important factor in the competition. The person given the task of selecting horses for the event therefore plays a crucial role. For the Sydney 2000 Olympics, that job is in the hands of Shannon O'Meara, who arrived at Charles Sturt University's (CSU's) Wagga Wagga Campus in March as Head Trainer. As the official supplier of equine services to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, CSU will accommodate and manage 20 horses to be trained for the Olympic competition at its Equine Centre.

Extractions: The History of the Olympics Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.

Extractions: Brief History of the Olympic Games Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.

Extractions: The Greek athletic games, otherwise commonly recognized as the Panhellenic Games, were an integral part of Greek life. They combined religion, sport, and music into extravagant festivals involving peoples throughout Mediterranean. Not only did they attract thousands of participants and spectators to their venues, but they also promoted solidarity among the various Greek city-states. By the Classical period, their influence was felt throughout Greece. There were four main games: the Olympic Games, Pythian Games, Nemean Games, and Isthmian Games. The games at Olympia were the oldest and most famous of these. They all began quite humbly as religious ceremonies. While the games had a small religious aspect throughout their history, this role diminished as time progressed. Mythological evidence suggests that the athletic events originally served as entertainment for humans and gods and were loosely associated with sacrificial offerings. At first they were purely local events most likely spanning two or three days, consisting only of dancing, running, and wrestling. The centrepiece of every Olympics is the track and field stadium. Stadium Australia has built the largest Olympic arena in history with 110,000 spectators able to see the opening and closing ceremonies, track and field program and the final of the men's soccer tournament. Under an agreement brokered by the Olympic Co-ordination Authority, the majority of the cost of the $A615 million stadium is being borne by the private sector with the NSW public having ultimate ownership of the venue. Stadium Australia has already hosted several world-class events including top-flight rugby league and union, American NFL and the FIFA All Stars.

Amy Schumer's Ex-Boyfriend Threatened To Kill Her With A Butcher's Knife: "I Was Sure He Was Going To Kill Me"
on August 17, 2016 at 9:15 am
Welcome back to another episode of, "Wow…Men Suck!" Please grab your favorite snack and get comfortable, because this episode is a doozy. We all know Amy Schumer as the funny girl who will say and do anything for a laugh. It's been a difficult year for her. She has been accused of stealing jokes multiple times and has been forced to defend herself and her Comedy Central show.
But that fight is nothing compared to the one she was fighting. The 35-year-old comedian released her memoir, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, this week, and it's filled with humorous stories, but there are also some painful memories sprinkled in.
One of those memories being the time she had to protect herself against a physically and emotionally abusive boyfriend. She writes in the book that he would often leave her with bruises all over her body. She remembers one particularly terrifying night when her ex-boyfriend shoved her onto the hood of a parked car, and then chased her home.
Once inside, he grabbed a knife and threatened to kill her…
I was screaming for him to stop, when he grabbed a butcher knife from a drawer. And that's when I was sure he was going to kill me. It may sound cliche, but I saw my life flash before my eyes. It can happen to anyone. You're not alone if it's happening to you, and you're not exempt if it hasn't happened to you yet.
The good news is she managed to escape. She's no longer in the abusive relationship. In fact, she has found herself a new boyfriend (Ben Hanisch) and they're reportedly extremely happy together.
Amy and her current boyfriend. Credit: Michael Kovac // Getty Images
She talks about how she met him online, and remembers feeling like everything was going to be okay when she first saw him smile at her…
We sent each other very simple hellos and short, funny messages … When we met, we smiled at each other and in that moment, everything felt right.

One in five UK doctors say understaffing has affected patient safety
The annual census of UK consultants and higher speciality trainees—Focus on Physicians 2017–18—indicates that more than half of all consultants and two thirds of trainees reported frequent gaps in trainees' rotas, with one in five respondents saying these are causing significant problems for patient safety in hospitals.
The report, which has been jointly published by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and the Royal College of Physicians of London, also shows:
Almost half of advertised consultant posts remain unfilled because of a lack of suitable applicants
Consultants and trainees are working around 10% more than their contracted hours. This equates to trainees working an extra six weeks and consultants an extra month unpaid a year
33% of the current consultant workforce are predicted to reach their intended retirement age in the next decade. Medical student places need doubling now to fill this and the gap left generally by doctors leaving the profession
Satisfaction among consultants and trainees with working in general internal medicine remains significantly lower than with specialty-working.
Commenting on the findings of the census David Galloway, president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, says: "I am glad that the three Royal Colleges have once again joined together to produce this important piece of work. It is vital that everyone involved in the NHS now reflects on these findings and takes all the action necessary to replicate best practice and address the challenges that this document has highlighted. What is of particular concern is the finding that almost one in five consultants across the UK reported that rota gaps cause significant problems for patient safety in their hospital. This is an unsustainable situation which must be addressed as a matter of urgency."
He adds that while the colleges welcome the short-term actions that UK governments (England & Wales and Scotland) are taking, such as the lifting of the cap on tier 2 visas for NHS staff, they believe "consistent and sustained action" is needed if the situation is to be addressed in the longer term. "Government, patients and the medical profession must work hand in hand if we're to deliver the best possible NHS for all," Galloway comments.
Professor Derek Bell, president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, states, "As one of the three Royal Colleges that commissioned this report, we believe that Focus on Physicians provides an important snapshot of the state of play within the medical profession.

It's taken 8jrs for me to reach a stage where I am happy with my creation. I've been thru so many different type of addons, upgrades and new releases of everything until that moment you find that one item that just feels perfect.
Then came VR and it is phenomenal so immersive it blows your mind yet there are guys out there that swears by triples. So onto the last stage, the best of both worlds.
Bought a Trak Racer triple monitor floor stand and three 165Hz 1080p curved monitors. And with a sigh of relieve my sim is done.
LMAO did I actually write that and believed myself? Turned out either the monitors or my GPU can only handle 60Hz In triple config, as randomly one of the three monitors would reboot which totally broke my will to race online until it is sorted.
Is rf2 still a problem regarding SLi?
Sounds like a bit of a problem with the monitor/graffix card combo.
You've got a 1080ti yeah? it should do the job ok.
So maybe try running them in lower increments till they werk, then lock your FPS to you Hz.
Unless you've already done this.
Last Edit: 6 months 4 weeks ago by SmellySkidmark.
Thx SS, will try those links.
It is hard to say if it is the monitors or the gpu. It all worked well with the 27" @60hz. I think cause it is one monitor at a time that it is the monitors not the gpu. But then the gpu can handle (Max Resolution: 7680x4320 @60 Hz), so if I push it to 100/120/144/165hz will it kill just one port of the three display port?
I am now running them at 60 hz and they're fine.


Phil Humber has been on more teams than he has victories.
His most impressive outing came against the ballclub that first recognized he had the talent to do something special.
Humber held the Yankees hitless until Alex Rodriguez grounded a single up the middle with one out in the seventh inning Monday night and the Chicago White Sox made the effort stand up with a 2-0 victory over New York.
"When I was young I had big dreams. I thought I was going to go out there and dominate every time," Humber said. "It hasn't worked out that way to this point."
Humber was making the sixth start of his career for his fifth team and had a career record of 3-3. Orginally drafted by the Yankees in 2001 -- he turned them down to go to Rice -- Humber never expected this kind of success against the All-Star lineup.
"You don't expect to hold an offense like that down especially just giving up one hit but you got to make pitches and not worry about who's up there at the plate," he said.
The White Sox won for only the second time in 12 games. Chicago snapped a 23-inning scoreless drought in the fourth when Carlos Quentin doubled and scored on Adam Dunn's grounder, and added a run in the ninth after a popup fell behind the mound, in front of charging shortstop Derek Jeter.
Sergio Santos got the four outs for his first save and Chicago's second save in eight chances this season. He gave the White Sox a scare, though, allowing a leadoff single to Curtis Granderson. But Mark Teixeira hit into a double play. Rodriguez struck out to end it.
Chicago was coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of Detroit. Guillen said some of the White Sox's problems could be attributed to the quality of pitching they were facing.
Humber (2-2) was up to the challenge against A.J. Burnett, who had his best start of the season, pitching eight innings for the first time since Aug. 15.


Is there a way to move octave up or down on an Lightpad Block M witout using software? Maybe with a combination of buttons or something?
The seaboard block has dedicated buttons to move up or down but the lightpad block seems to be stuck in the range it comes by default (unless you connect it to Noise or Dashboard).
Without using software, you might use the Live Block's octave button.
I'd like to try whether using two of the edge "points" (say, the upper left- and right-most pixel) to switch octaves is feasible. But alas, the Note Grid program is right at the maximum memory size a Lightpad can swallow, so tweaking it is barely possible.
I'd also like to be able to change some settings (eg the octave) by sending (MIDI) messages to Blocks. That way I could use any of my other MIDI controllers to change Block's behavior, including the octave.
That provided we could create some nifty toolbar for Blocks in our DAW, or even automate it for live usage. Switching in the host from an Equator track to an Omnisphere track could automatically switch connected Blocks from "full 15-channel MPE with pitchbend range 48" to "channels 1-8, pitchbend range 24" automatically and thus spare us creators from a lot of dabbling in Dashboard each time a different instrument is chosen in the host.
I am almost sure this is already possible, maybe by sending SysEx commands, but I couldn't pull it off as of yet. Would be nice to get more info about how we can talk to our Blocks.
Hi Jan, I replied in your other thread, although you should be able to do this by ensuring that in ROLI Dashboard "Midi CC" mode is off for the Live Block and the Lightpad is running the Note Grid app.
I am also curious about this. I am thinking of using a lightpad and live block as a compact usb midi "keyboard" for eurorack (and also ipad/computer), but wanted to know if the live block can change octaves in the lightpad in midi mode (without using the Noise iOS app). Thanks.

OIL IN WATER
a novel by
PAM LAZOS
CHAPTER EIGHT (b)
Kitty's mother didn't know a spoon from a spatula and as a result, passed on nothing that could pass for culinary art to her daughter. Kitty's parents had a brutal and unforgiving marriage hidden behind congenial outward social appearances so Kitty believed her mother when she told her that in order to get and keep a man, Kitty needed to learn how to feed a man, her mother's own marriage as evidence of not feeding a man. She long ago declared the kitchen off limits to the myriad servants that kept the Coleman household running. After years of study with some of the best chefs in the world, Kitty had become a first-rate chef herself, although apparently it had no measurable effect on the quality of her marriage. Still, even Bicky couldn't deny that Kitty had perfected her art. Tonight the table was adorned by stuffed pheasant, prawns sauteed in avocado oil and cajun seasonings, baby potatoes baked in olive oil, lemon and oregano, snap peas, lightly steamed, and a lovely arugula and mixed greens salad.
Kitty was palpably relieved to have Sonia's company at the dinner table and wondered, as she bit into a prawn, whether her daughter had fared any better in the marriage department. Sonia and Hart seemed to have a good marriage, but many who knew Kitty and Bicky would swear the same was true of them, since in public they demonstrated what appeared to be love for each other. Kitty was a vital woman, full of youthful efflorescence, not the sort that would be predisposed to abstinence, yet all the years without the companionship of her husband had taken their toll on her. She felt herself drying up on the inside, like ripe fruit left for days in the sun. Being distinctly southern with all its foibles and genteel sensibilities, sex was something Kitty could not bring herself to talk about, not even with her intimates, which included Sonia. She was sure Bicky blamed the end of their sex life on Kitty's inability to forgive one unfortunate incident, but Kitty had seen worse growing up, and that wouldn't have kept her from Bicky's bed forever. Rather it was the lack of intimacy, or any kind of emotional connection with her husband that pushed her away. Bicky had shoved his emotions so far down, they lived in his feet. The man would not recognize love if it threw up on him.
These days, the Coleman's maintained separate bedrooms in opposite wings of the mansion. The move occurred sometime after Sonia shipped off to Columbia and Kitty discovered that Bicky had kept mistresses for the last twenty years, usually for periods of six to eighteen months, like a prison term for a misdemeanor. Sensing her own interests would be served by the revelation, Kitty made her knowledge public, the public constituting Bicky and Sonia. She chose her words carefully paying particular attention to present tense syntax so neither one was ever really sure just how much Kitty knew and for how long she knew it.
To Bicky she simply said, "I know what you're up to. And I'm leaving. Don't try to stop me." Bicky said nothing as usual, but waited on Kitty's next move. Luckily, it was only across the foyer and down the hall.
Kitty knew that Bicky loved her to the extent he was capable. She also knew that had she even once confronted him, raised her voice, thrown a Chinese vase, shown some territorial frenzy over his nocturnal meanderings, Bicky would have ended his affairs. But recalling her mother's misery, Kitty decided the best course of action was to remain complacent and aloof and so she allowed Bicky's transgressions knowing it was her indifference more than anything that branded Bicky's psyche and bound him to her. Kitty also knew that Bicky had come to interpret her attitude as one of intense loathing disguised by good southern breeding, and on that point, he wasn't too far off the mark.
Dinner was delightful and Sonia couldn't remember a time when Bicky was so charming. He told jokes that left both Sonia and her mother clutching their sides in laughter. For a moment, they were a family and Sonia felt an affinity for her father which left her feeling both sated and bereft. After dinner, Bicky sat by the fire sipping cognac while Sonia stretched on the couch, her grandmother's handmade quilt, a swirling vortex of color pulled over her legs as a nascent, tentative bond was forming with her father.
"Tell me something about when you were young," Sonia said.
A handsome man in any light, the glow of the fire gave Bicky a swarthy, Roman look. Somber, he sipped the amber liquid and gazed at the crackling fire.
"I had two shirts, two pairs of pants, three pairs of socks and a pair of shoes. My mother was constantly mending things just to keep our wardrobe together. When your grandfather struck oil, we celebrated by buying a new outfit."
"Well, eventually he bought you more clothes."
"Oh yeah, but that wasn't until later. After Mason died and it was just me and him, he realized that life really wasn't waiting for anybody." Bicky's voice cracked. Sonia studied him, intrigued by the uncharacteristic show of emotion.
"He was a tight-assed bastard, your grandfather. Never spent a dime. Not on us, anyway. Why do you think you have so much money?" He swirled the cognac around the tumbler.
"I don't remember him that way," Sonia said.
Bicky grunted and grew silent. The grandfather clock chimed ten times. Sonia yawned, stood and folded the quilt. "Thanks for a great night, Dad." She smiled at her father, but Bicky said nothing. "I'm going to say goodbye to Mom," she said, and left the room.
Bicky walked Sonia out to her car while Kitty stood in the archway. Sonia blew her mother a kiss and Kitty disappeared inside.
Bicky leaned in and pecked her on the cheek, flashing his perfect teeth, a smile few could resist. He patted her arm and rested it there. "Don't forget to bring me the report tomorrow."
"Ah, the report. I hadn't planned on coming to town tomorrow. How about I mail it?"
"No!" Bicky's voice was gruff and agitated. "You're putting yourself at risk."
"Dad, I'm not even going to be home."
"Let me tell you, if word gets out that you have a copy of that report…."
"Is it me or you that would be in trouble?" she asked, finishing his sentence.
Bicky put his hands on the car door and straightened up. "You probably didn't read it so you don't understand how damaging it is."
"I read it. And I understand. That report gets out and it could mark the beginning of World War III. That's why you sent David to the Middle East. You want your best people surveying the world's largest remaining oil reservoirs."
Bicky's face turned the color of blanched almonds; he squeezed the door frame. "Sonia…do not get messed up in this."
"I'm already messed up in it."
Bicky looked back at the house where Kitty had turned on the lights in her suite. His eyes wandered to his side of the house, dark and uninviting. "And he'll be back before the sun comes up," he said. "So let it go."
"I would if you'd let him stay more than ten minutes before sending him off again," she said. "Are you that desperate to have him secure your interests?"
"There are terrible people in this world, Sonia, and they do terrible things. Be happy your grandfather's money keeps you from having to deal with them on a daily basis."
"If you don't want me messed up with them, why would you allow David to be?"
"Hart's a man. And a damn good engineer." Bicky met Sonia's gaze at eye level. "Do you know what will happen when people realize we only have twenty or thirty years of oil reserves left? I mean, when they really stop to think about it? Pandemonium."
"Well if it's so precious, just charge more money and people will drive less."
"If we charged per barrel what oil was really worth, the average consumer couldn't afford a trip to the grocery store. Our whole economy is premised on the consumption of cheap fossil fuel, Sonia. Every aspect. It's not just about driving your car to the movies." He paused to let his words sink in. "Most of our products are trucked across the country. Milk and butter are cheap because oil is cheap. But higher food prices are only the beginning. The majority of our products are made from plastic, not steel, and you need oil to make it. It's not just about baggies and milk jugs. It's about camera bodies and television sets and lawn furniture and car parts. It's actually a waste to burn oil as gas. It's too valuable. Liquid gold."
"Don't you think you're getting a little carried away?" she asked.
"I'm serious." The lawn sprinkler hissed to life and Sonia jumped.
"I'm not trying to scare you, dear," he said. "I'm trying to enlighten you." He looked from her to Kitty's window and said, half to himself: "So much like your mother." His eyes softened and Sonia thought she detected a trace of fear in his unshakable demeanor.
"If you wanted to avoid it, and by you I mean the energy industry, you could. You'd be pouring money into R&D, developing a cheap way to access solar power, or hydroelectric power, or any of the myriad powers that show promise. But you don't. Why? Because you can't make enough money. Once the technology's there you can't harness it for yourself and, God forbid, you don't want people to be self-sufficient. Then they wouldn't need you."
Bicky raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking smile. "Touche, my dear," he said. "Still that doesn't make your knowledge any less dangerous. And if not the danger, think of the resulting plight of all those poor out-of-work oil company employees."

Shawn Levy Bringing the Berenstain Bears to the Big Screen
by Ethan Anderton
Source: USA Today
Though Stephen Colbert has warned us of the unrivaled threat bears pose to civilization, those of us who grew up with a certain bear family know that they are actually wholesome, loving and full of great lessons to teach children. I'm speaking of none other than the almost-50-year old family, The Berenstain Bears. The beloved book series, spawned in 1962, has taught generations of children not only to read, but about various life lessons and facts. Now USA Today reports that Walden Media and director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) will bring the bears to life in a comedy blending live-action and computer animation.
Levy will certainly have plenty to pull from as The Berenstain Bears library has over 200 titles to choose from for inspiration. The average story dealt with the parental exploits of the aptly named Mama and Papa Bear as they taught their children, Brother and Sister Bear, about the importance of honesty, friendship, love and much more. Later (after my childhood experience with the bears) the books expanded their teachings (and the Bear family) when Mama Bear became pregnant and added little Honey Bear to the mix.
If you're crying or visibly angry, hang on a minute, because Levy knows the legacy he's dealing with: "To stand that kind of test of time is pretty formidable. People read them as kids and can now read them to their kids. Any piece of culture that proves that enduring has something special in its DNA." Though Levy's most recent film is the more adult comedy Date Night, he's no stranger to family fare having directed both Night at the Museum films as well as the Steve Martin led remakes Cheaper By the Dozen and The Pink Panther.
As far as how his comedic sensibilities will jive with The Berenstain Bears, here's what Levy had to say:
"[The Berenstain Bears] happen to fit firmly within the wheelhouse of family-genre comedy I do, whether it's Cheaper by the Dozen or Night at the Museum. It's warm-hearted comedy about family, and a different kind of family. I'd like the film to be un-ironic about its family connections but have a wry comedic sensibility that isn't oblivious to the fact that they're bears. The comedy comes from this bear family coexisting in a more recognizably real world. I think the movie will be witty but never sarcastic."
Honestly, as someone who is increasingly maddened by Hollywood snatching up all my favorite TV shows and books and movies from my childhood and giving them a contemporary update, I think Levy's got a phenomenal grasp on how to approach the books as well as the right comedic tone to properly bring the old-fashioned stories to life in contemporary society. Anyway, there's plenty of time to see where Levy will ultimately take the project since Walden Media CEO Michael Bostick says a screenplay will be finished and in pre-production late next year, with the earliest release date being sometime in late 2011. Thoughts?

STOP RUINING MY CHILDHOOD!!!!! First Where the Wild Things Are and now this...argh
they have just run outta ideas haven't they?
Spider94 on Nov 3, 2009
I think you mean "We have just run out of ideas" Spider94...you could just as easily execute an original idea and sell it as anyone else...
How does that ruin your childhood? I don't understand the people who say that an adaptation or a sequel can destroy what came before it. If you really feel that way, just don't see the movie. Catastrophe averted
Buzz on Nov 3, 2009
Agreed Buzz...I was tricked by Wild Things, but I will not be seeing this and as you said, crisis averted.
hmmm kinda random?? huh? what just happened? oh man don't do it! aww.........

The Berenstein Bears in "Too Much Hollywood"
Voice of Reason on Nov 4, 2009
I grew up reading the Berenstein Bears. There's already some kind of cartoon on PBS that looks like it's based on the characters, but I wholeheartedly oppose any kind of live action remake. Not that my opposition makes any difference since all these dolts care about is ka-ching. Who cares whose childhood they're crapping all over? It's about the money, honey! *sigh*

On a sunny afternoon, Maya, a couple's therapist who researches the secrets of memory, disappears. One moment she is on the beach, with her husband and three children, enjoying their holiday stay at her parents' kibbutz. When her son waves a camera at her, crying "Mommy, smile!", Maya suddenly feels a stab. She turns her back and walks away.
"Mommy will be right back," promises her husband to their three children, and to his older child from previous marriage, who surprisingly does not seem worried about Maya's disappearance to the sliest bit. By noon, whispers are heard in the guesthouse dining room that one of the guests has gone missing. Security officers are called to investigate, as fears and rumors spread. Was it kidnap? Was it suicide? Was she the 'happy woman' she appeared to be? What shadows lay pray behind her 'happy family'? Why does her husband refuse to involve the police?
The search reveals sides of Maya and her family, never exposed before. There, at the pastoral landscape of her childhood, the story drifts back to the Yom Kippur War, when the father Maya never knew was killed. The man who didn't want her, the man who said to her mother, "Everything will be fine, just smile."
