A unique city centre pub with a rich history
Nicholson's Pubs are known for their individual style, exciting stories, and charming personalities — and The Blackfriar is certainly no exception.
Set in a historic, Art Nouveau Grade II masterpiece of a building, The Blackfriar was built in 1875 on the site of a Dominican friary. The building was designed by architect H. Fuller-Clark and artist Henry Poole, who were both committed to the free-thinking arts and crafts movement.
Today, you'll still find Poole's original jolly friars around the pub, in the form of sculptures, mosaics, and reliefs. You might say we're lucky to still be here after being saved from demolition by a campaign led by Sir John Betjeman!

World Hepatitis Day
Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. The most common hepatitis viruses in Europe are types A, B, C and E (commonly referred to as HAV, HBV, HCV and HEV).
Even though their effects on the liver and the symptoms they produce can be similar, the severity and duration of the disease are determined by the virus that caused it.
While HAV infection is typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water and causes an acute infection, hepatitis B and C usually occur as a result of contact with infected body fluids and can develop into a chronic infection. Together, HBV and HCV are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Read more facts about viral hepatitis
Increase in severe acute hepatitis cases of unknown aetiology in children
On 5 April 2022, an increase in acute hepatitis cases of unknown aetiology among previously healthy children aged under 10 years was reported by the United Kingdom (UK) to the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations (IHR) notification system. Testing has excluded viral hepatitis types A, B, C, D and E and other known causes of acute hepatitis. Additional cases have been reported from the EU/EEA countries and globally.

Baba Ghanoush Crostini with Vegan Aioli – very vegan, very delicious!
Hello my lovely food enthusiasts!
This time we head to my wonderful recipe for the Baba Ghanoush Crostini with Vegan Aioli. Baba Ghanoush is originally a middle east spread made from eggplants, tahini, sesame paste, garlic, lemon juice – full of flavor awesomeness.
The traditional preparation apparently includes roasting the eggplant over open fire so that the inner flesh, which is used for the spread, get soft and smoky. I decided to take an easier option by simply baking the eggplant in the oven.
Overall, this recipe is pretty easy. Here, I use the Baba Ghanoush as a spread on sliced baguette. A green salad and tomato topping is then crowned by a spoonful of my vegan aioli.
This is also a very nice dip. Instead of mayonnaise as a base, I use soaked cashew and pine nuts!
Very delicious, very vegan – go check it out!
Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C), prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roast eggplant for about 30 minutes, let cool a bit for 5 minutes. Then add the eggplant, tahini, garlic, agave, water, citrus juice, and cider to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
Start making the aioli by combining the soaked nuts without the liquid, oil, garlic, and maple. Season with salt and process until you have a smooth and creamy thick paste like mayonnaise.
To assemble: spread the Baba Ghanoush on the baguette, add arugula and tomatoes. Top with the aioli. Enjoy!
Sounds wonderful, and while I'm not vegan, your aioli sounds delicious and something I would try!
I hope you do, Judy! Let me know how it turns out!
Thank you, Kristen! I hope you try it!
I love baba ghanoush and the vegan aioli is a great idea!
Such a great idea to put baba on bread for an appetizer! Love this!
Glad you like it, Julia!
Florian, I am the furthest thing from a vegan, but dishes like the one you've created here outright tempt me. Great job.

Later developments in the various Buddhist traditions led to new innovations in yogic practices. The Theravada school, while remaining relatively conservative, still developed new ideas on meditation and yogic phenomenology in their later works, the most influential of which is the Visuddhimagga. The Indic meditation teachings of Mahayana Buddhism can be seen in influential texts like the Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra (compiled c. 4th century). Mahayana meditation practices also developed and adopted new yogic methods, such as the use of mantra and dharani, pure land practices which aimed at rebirth in a pure land or buddhafield, and visualization methods. Chinese Buddhism developed its own methods, such as the Chan practice of Koan introspection and Hua Tou. Likewise, Tantric Buddhism (also Mantrayana, Vajrayana) developed and adopted tantric methods, which remain the basis of the Tibetan Buddhist yogic systems, including the Six yogas of Naropa, Kalacakra, Mahamudra and Dzogchen.[251]
In 1989 and 2003, the Vatican issued two documents: Aspects of Christian meditation and "A Christian reflection on the New Age," that were mostly critical of eastern and New Age practices. The 2003 document was published as a 90-page handbook detailing the Vatican's position.[287] The Vatican warned that concentration on the physical aspects of meditation "can degenerate into a cult of the body" and that equating bodily states with mysticism "could also lead to psychic disturbance and, at times, to moral deviations." Such has been compared to the early days of Christianity, when the church opposed the gnostics' belief that salvation came not through faith but through a mystical inner knowledge.[281] The letter also says, "one can see if and how [prayer] might be enriched by meditation methods developed in other religions and cultures"[288] but maintains the idea that "there must be some fit between the nature of [other approaches to] prayer and Christian beliefs about ultimate reality."[281] Some[which?] fundamentalist Christian organizations consider yoga to be incompatible with their religious background, considering it a part of the New Age movement inconsistent with Christianity.[289]

PDF file Archived 16 June 2013 at the Wayback Machine [accessed 10 June 2012] pp. 20–21 "The Buddha himself is said to have tried both pressing his tongue to the back of his mouth, in a manner similar to that of the hathayogic khecarīmudrā, and ukkutikappadhāna, a squatting posture which may be related to hathayogic techniques such as mahāmudrā, mahābandha, mahāvedha, mūlabandha, and vajrāsana in which pressure is put on the perineum with the heel, in order to force upwards the breath or Kundalinī."
Due to the growing concerns of the high cost, health consequences, and illegal nature of some steroids, many organizations have formed in response and have deemed themselves "natural" bodybuilding competitions. In addition to the concerns noted, many promoters of bodybuilding have sought to shed the "freakish" perception that the general public has of bodybuilding and have successfully introduced a more mainstream audience to the sport of bodybuilding by including competitors whose physiques appear much more attainable and realistic.
Modern yoga was created in what has been called the Modern Yoga Renaissance[216] by the blending of Western styles of gymnastics with postures from Haṭha yoga in India in the 20th century, pioneered by Shri Yogendra and Swami Kuvalayananda.[217] Before 1900 there were few standing poses in Haṭha yoga. The flowing sequences of salute to the sun, Surya Namaskar, were pioneered by the Rajah of Aundh, Bhawanrao Shrinivasrao Pant Pratinidhi, in the 1920s.[218] Many standing poses used in gymnastics were incorporated into yoga by Krishnamacharya in Mysore from the 1930s to the 1950s.[219] Several of his students went on to found influential schools of yoga: Pattabhi Jois created Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga,[220] which in turn led to Power Yoga;[221] B. K. S. Iyengar created Iyengar Yoga, and systematised the canon of asanas in his 1966 book Light on Yoga;[222] Indra Devi taught yoga to many film stars in Hollywood; and Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandalam in Chennai.[223][224][225] Other major schools founded in the 20th century include Bikram Choudhury's Bikram Yoga and Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh's Sivananda Vedanta Schools of Yoga. Modern yoga spread across America and Europe, and then the rest of the world.[226][227]
In 2009, the Council of Ulemas, an Islamic body in Indonesia, passed a fatwa banning yoga on the grounds that it contains Hindu elements.[303] These fatwas have, in turn, been criticized by Darul Uloom Deoband, a Deobandi Islamic seminary in India.[304] Similar fatwas banning yoga, for its link to Hinduism, were issued by the Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa in Egypt in 2004, and by Islamic clerics in Singapore earlier.[305]
The high levels of muscle growth and repair achieved by bodybuilders require a specialized diet. Generally speaking, bodybuilders require more calories than the average person of the same weight to provide the protein and energy requirements needed to support their training and increase muscle mass. In preparation of a contest, a sub-maintenance level of food energy is combined with cardiovascular exercise to lose body fat. Proteins, carbohydrates and fats are the three major macronutrients that the human body needs in order to build muscle.[24] The ratios of calories from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats vary depending on the goals of the bodybuilder.[25]
The early practice of Jain yoga seems to have been divided into several types, including meditation (dhyāna), abandonment of the body (kāyotsarga), contemplation (anuprekṣā), and reflection (bhāvanā).[256] Some of the earliest sources for Jain yoga are the Uttarādhyayana-sūtra, the Āvaśyaka-sūtra, the Sthananga Sutra (c. 2nd century BCE). Later works include Kundakunda's Vārassa-aṇuvekkhā ("Twelve Contemplations", c. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE), Haribhadra's Yogadṛṣṭisamuccya (8th century) and the Yogaśāstra of Hemachandra (12th century). Later forms of Jain yoga adopted Hindu influences, such as ideas from Patanjali's yoga and later Tantric yoga (in the works of Haribhadra and Hemachandra respectively). The Jains also developed a progressive path to liberation through yogic praxis, outlining several levels of virtue called gunasthanas.
An article by Muscle & Fitness magazine, "Overtrain for Big Gains", claimed that overtraining for a brief period can be beneficial. Overtraining can be used advantageously, as when a bodybuilder is purposely overtrained for a brief period of time to super compensate during a regeneration phase. These are known as "shock micro-cycles" and were a key training technique used by Soviet athletes.[54]
To combat steroid use and in the hopes of becoming a member of the IOC, the IFBB introduced doping tests for both steroids and other banned substances. Although doping tests occurred, the majority of professional bodybuilders still used anabolic steroids for competition. During the 1970s, the use of anabolic steroids was openly discussed, partly due to the fact they were legal.[9] In the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990, U.S. Congress placed anabolic steroids into Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). In Canada, steroids are listed under Schedule IV of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, enacted by the federal Parliament in 1996.[10]
The first known appearance of the word "yoga", with the same meaning as the modern term, is in the Katha Upanishad,[9][95] probably composed between the fifth and third century BCE,[96][97] where it is defined as the steady control of the senses, which along with cessation of mental activity, leading to a supreme state.[67][note 13] Katha Upanishad integrates the monism of early Upanishads with concepts of samkhya and yoga. It defines various levels of existence according to their proximity to the innermost being Ātman. Yoga is therefore seen as a process of interiorization or ascent of consciousness.[99][100] It is the earliest literary work that highlights the fundamentals of yoga. White states:

River Murray flood creates breeding boom
Flooding in the Murray-Darling Basin has created ideal breeding conditions for many native species, including the threatened southern bell frog.
Scientists hope it will lead to a population boom in the often parched wetlands, where many species are struggling to survive.
"A lot of Australia's native fauna is adapted to take advantage of these flood conditions that were much more common once upon a time," ecologist Rupert Mathwin told AAP on Wednesday.
"The submerged vegetation creates an ideal nursery habitat to support breeding."
The flooding also results in the release of extra nutrients into the food web stimulating growth in the ecosystem.
"It benefits all species," Mr Mathwin, a Flinders University PhD candidate, said.
Water management policies in Australia's largest river system have significantly altered the natural flooding patterns and reduced water flows over the last century.
"Since the lochs have been added it's shifted the way the system works and it requires a level of intervention to support the plants and animals and ecosystems," Mr Mathwin said.
"When we do get flooding it tends to be to a lesser extent and it's shorter lived and they occur less frequently."
Many wetlands and the species that inhabit them now rely on costly pumped water allocations to sustain them in lieu of flooding.
But not all the wetlands in the basin can be inundated with "environmental water" each year, negatively impacting many of the species that rely on them for survival.
"What's happening this year is the floods are giving us all of those environmental services for free and we don't have to prioritise between the wetlands," Mr Mathwin said.
"It's an 'every wetlands wins' kind of a year."
Mr Mathwin hopes it will lead to a population explosion in wetland fauna, including southern bell frogs.
"I'm really hoping it will result in a boom," he said.
"Time will tell and we really have to wait for a year or two of monitoring to trickle to confidently say that it did work.
"But I strongly expect it will result in a large, hopefully not temporary, increase in the population because of this massive amount of extra habitat."
Southern bell frogs are one of the nations's 100 priority threatened species, and are found in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.
They were once common throughout southeast Australia until the 1970s when they started to rapidly decline.
The few remaining populations persist at sites that are regularly inundated by pumped water during their breeding season in the spring and summer.

Eligible educational institutions, such as Westchester Community College, are required to submit the student's name, address, and taxpayer's identification number, enrollment and academic status. The IRS instructs institutions to report either payments received (Box 1) or amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses (Box 2) on the 1098-T. Westchester Community College reports payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses during the tax year (Box 1) and scholarships and grants (Box 5). Therefore Box 2 will be blank.
This form is informational only. It serves to alert students that they may be eligible for federal income tax education credits. It should not be considered as tax opinion or advice. There is no IRS requirement that you must claim the tuition and fees deduction or education credit. Claiming education tax benefits is a voluntary decision for those who may qualify. It is up to each taxpayer to determine eligibility for the credits and how to calculate them. Please refer any questions on how to calculate them to your accountant / financial advisor.
How do I get my 1098-T Form online?
c) In the drop down box ("other financial…." menu) within the Finances section, select View 1098-T.
Yes. Access can only be obtained by logging in through our mywcc.sunywcc.edu portal.
An eligible educational institution, such as a college or university in which you are enrolled, and an insurer who makes reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related expenses to you must furnish this statement to you. You, or the person who can claim you as a dependent, may be able to claim an education credit on Form 1040 or 1040A, only for the qualified tuition and related expenses that were actually paid in 2018. To see if you qualify for the credit, see Pub. 970, Tax Benefits for Education; Form 8863, Education Credits; and the Form 1040 or 1040A instructions.
The amount shown in box 1 may represent an amount other than the amount actually paid in 2018. Your institution must include its name, address, and information contact telephone number on this statement. Although the filer or the service provider may be able to answer certain questions about the statement, do not contact the filer or the service provider for explanations of the requirements for (and how to figure) any education credit that you may claim.

Student's identification number. For your protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN). However, the issuer has reported your complete identification number to the IRS and, where applicable, to state and/or local governments.
Box 1. Shows the total payments received in 2018 from any source for qualified tuition and related expenses less any related reimbursements or refunds made during 2018 that related to those payments received during 2018.
Box 7. Shows whether the amount in box 1 includes amounts for an academic period beginning January – March 2019. See Pub. 970 for how to report these amounts.
Box 8. Shows whether you are considered to be carrying at least one-half the normal full-time workload for your course of study at the reporting institution. If you are at least a half-time student for at least one academic period that begins during the year, you meet one of the requirements for the American opportunity credit. You do not have to meet the workload requirement to qualify for the lifetime learning credit.
Box 9. Shows whether you are considered to be enrolled in a program leading to a graduate degree, graduate-level certificate, or other recognized graduate-level educational credential. This box should be blank.
Colleges and universities are required by U.S. law each year to provide each student who is a "US citizen" for tax purposes with Form 1098-T, to assist the students and their families in computing any tax credit or deduction they may be able to claim, based on amounts they have spent for education. For 2018, these federal tax benefits include the American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit, and the tuition and fees deduction.
Will I receive Form 1098-T?
Westchester Community College students whose student account had payment transactions post to it during the calendar year will have online access to their Form 1098-T or receive it in paper form in late January. You may receive Form 1098-T even if you did not attend class during the calendar year. Receiving Form 1098-T does not necessarily indicate that you are entitled to claim any of the education-related tax credits or deductions.
What should I do with my Form 1098-T?
You should immediately give it to whomever is responsible for preparing your tax returns. If you prepare your own tax returns, you should keep your Form 1098-T in a file with your other tax documents. Form 1098-T should remain in your files. You do not need to attach Form 1098-T to your tax returns.
How can I get a copy of my Form 1098-T for a prior year?

Many types of evaluation exist, consequently evaluation methods need to be customised according to what is being evaluated and the purpose of the evaluation.[1,2] It is important to understand the different types of evaluation that can be conducted over a program's life-cycle and when they should be used. A comprehensive program evaluation is likely to include three different types of evaluation.
Think about evaluation in the early planning stages.
Although some evaluation will not be conducted until after a program concludes, evaluation strategies should be considered early in the planning process to ensure that opportunities to collect data are not missed.
Each type of evaluation is described in more detail below.
Did we reach the intended participants?
Was the program cost effective?
Process evaluation describes what happens once the program has started, and may involve recording and counting inputs and outputs such as number of sessions held, attendance and response rates, the number of resources developed and distributed, program costs, and the time taken to develop resources. Using process evaluation is important for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of program delivery and areas for improvement.
For example, an objective may be to provide a safe space and learning environment for young people, without fear of judgment, misunderstanding, harassment or abuse. Impact evaluation will assess the attitudes of young people towards the learning environment and how they perceived it. It may also assess changes in participants' self esteem, confidence and social connectedness. Impact evaluation measures the program effectiveness immediately after the completion of the program and up to six months after the completion of the program.
Your program outcome evaluation may measure changes to: mental and physical wellbeing, prevalence of an STI or BBV, or a change in sexual or drug-related behaviours.
Outcome evaluation measures changes at least six months after the implementation of the program (longer term). Although outcome evaluation measures the main goal of the program, it can also be used to assess program objectives over time. It should be noted that it is not always possible or appropriate to conduct outcome evaluation in some programs.
What recommendations have evolved out of the program?

Patrick Ollier, né le  à Périgueux (Dordogne), est un homme d'État français.

Proche de Jacques Chaban-Delmas, il entame son parcours politique sous les couleurs de la droite gaulliste comme député des Hautes-Alpes de 1988 à 2002. Par la suite, il est député des Hauts-de-Seine de  à , et maire de Rueil-Malmaison en .

Il est brièvement président de l'Assemblée nationale en , puis ministre chargé des Relations avec le Parlement de  à  dans le troisième gouvernement de François Fillon.

Il est président de la métropole du Grand Paris depuis .

Biographie

Formation et vie privée
Il est licencié ès sciences-économiques et diplômé en 1971 de l'Institut d'études politiques d'Aix-en-Provence.

De son mariage le  avec Dominique Figuière, il a un enfant. Il est ensuite le compagnon de Michèle Alliot-Marie.

Débuts politiques
Patrick Ollier commence sa carrière politique en , en cofondant le Mouvement des jeunes gaullistes l'Union des jeunes pour le progrès.

Il s'établit ensuite dans les Hautes-Alpes, où il devient secrétaire général de l'Union pour la nouvelle République pour la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

De 1970 à 1973, il est conseiller des Premiers ministres Jacques Chaban-Delmas puis Pierre Messmer. Durant le mandat du président Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, de 1974 à 1981, il est conseiller des ministres Georges Gorse, Paul Dijoud puis Alain Peyrefitte. Il s'établit alors à Rueil-Malmaison, où il est élu conseiller municipal puis nommé adjoint au maire.

En 1981, il est nommé conseiller auprès du président du groupe Béghin-Say. Il revient en politique en 1986, en tant que conseiller pour les affaires politiques et parlementaires du président de l'Assemblée nationale, Jacques Chaban-Delmas.

Député des Hautes-Alpes puis des Hauts-de-Seine
Il est ensuite élu député RPR de la deuxième circonscription des Hautes-Alpes (1988-2002), maire de La Salle-les-Alpes (1989-2001), conseiller général (1992-2001). .

Après avoir envisagé de se présenter à la présidence du RPR en 1999, il soutient finalement Michèle Alliot-Marie, dont il est le directeur de campagne et le conjoint. Ils officialisent leur relation après son élection.

Il revient à Rueil-Malmaison, où il est élu conseiller municipal en 2001 puis maire le , en remplacement de Jacques Baumel. Il est élu député de la  des Hauts-de-Seine le . Membre du groupe UMP, il préside la Commission de la production et des échanges puis la commission des Affaires économiques, de l'Environnement et du Territoire de l'Assemblée nationale depuis le .

Généralement candidat dans des bastions traditionnels de la droite, son parcours politique « consiste à des batailles internes avec d'autres factions de la droite » plutôt qu'à affronter la gauche dans des élections aux résultats imprévisibles. Son rival Thierry Saussez, contre lequel il avait obtenu le soutien du RPR pour succéder Jacques Baumel à la mairie de Rueil-Malmaison, le dépeint comme « un obsédé du plan de carrière qui a toujours été dans l'ombre de quelqu'un ».

Travail parlementaire
Patrick Ollier est l'inventeur du « Dividende du travail », qui a été repris lors de nombreuses prises de positions gouvernementales et fait l'objet de dispositions parlementaires.

Relations avec des dirigeants africains
Patrick Ollier est le fondateur en 2003 du groupe d'amitié France-Libye qu'il préside jusqu'en 2010. Proche de Mouammar Kadhafi, auquel il considère ne plus rien avoir à reprocher, sinon « quelques reliquats de pratiques anciennes comme la torture dans les prisons », ayant « totalement renoncé » à l'action violente et au terrorisme, Patrick Ollier effectue de nombreuses visites dans ce pays, parfois pour le compte de l'Élysée ou du quai d'Orsay. Il a en particulier appuyé des discussions commerciales, concernant des projets d'achat par la Jamahiriya arabe libyenne d'avions Rafale et d'hélicoptères Tigre, et a cherché, selon Anne Lauvergeon, PDG d'Areva à l'époque, à vendre à la Libye une centrale nucléaire.

En dehors de la Libye, il sert régulièrement d'intermédiaire dans des conditions occultes pour de grandes entreprises françaises dans des contrats industriels en Afrique, ce qui lui vaut d'être surveillé par la Direction générale de l'Armement. Il est critiqué en 2011 pour avoir voyagé dans le jet privé d'un proche du chef d'État tunisien Ben Ali, et ce alors que des manifestations de masse étaient en cours contre le régime.

Énergies renouvelables
Patrick Ollier présente, lors du débat de lois d'orientation sur les énergies en 2005, un amendement sur les énergies éoliennes, dit « amendement Ollier », pour hausser le plancher d'achat obligatoire par EDF de l'électricité produite par les parcs éoliens à plus de  (contre moins de  précédemment). Face à la levée de boucliers de la part des milieux associatifs et des organisations de défense de l'environnement et de promotion des énergies renouvelables, l'amendement est retiré par le Sénat.

Loi SRU
Patrick Ollier a demandé plusieurs fois l'amendement de la loi SRU (solidarité et renouvellement urbains) de , et en particulier amender le quota de 20 % logements sociaux imposé aux communes françaises. Ainsi, fin , un amendement à loi SRU cosigné avec Gérard Hamel en première lecture sur le projet de loi portant engagement national pour le logement (loi ENL) vise à assimiler certaines opérations d'accession sociale à la propriété à du logement social, ce que le Sénat retoque au début d'. Lors de la deuxième lecture de ce projet de loi à l'Assemblée nationale, le , Patrick Ollier dépose un amendement contre le quota de 20 % logements sociaux imposé à 740 communes.

Droit de vote des étrangers
Patrick Ollier s'est battu tout au long de sa carrière contre le droit de vote des étrangers non-communautaires, notamment en tant que vice-président de l'UMP et en tant que député. Appelant à voter contre à de nombreuses reprises, il estime notamment qu'il s'agirait d'une mesure « en parfaite contradiction avec [...] notre constitution ».

Président de l'Assemblée nationale
Après la démission de Jean-Louis Debré, nommé président du Conseil constitutionnel, Patrick Ollier déclare sa candidature à la présidence de l'Assemblée nationale. À l'occasion d'une primaire interne au groupe UMP, il est préféré à Claude Gaillard et Yves Bur. Le , jour du scrutin dans l'hémicycle, Patrick Ollier recueille 248 voix sur 267 votants ; l'opposition ne participe pas au scrutin. Dans son discours d'investiture, le nouveau président de l'Assemblée rend hommage à deux de ses prédécesseurs, Jean-Louis Debré – auquel il succède directement – et Jacques Chaban-Delmas, considéré comme son « mentor » politique.

À l'approche de l'élection présidentielle de 2007, Patrick Ollier bénéficie d'un « mandat de transition », durant lequel l'Assemblée ne se réunit pas, la session parlementaire ayant été clôturée le . À la suite de la polémique concernant les privilèges à vie dont bénéficient les présidents d'assemblée (voiture de fonction, bureau et secrétariat), il fait savoir après son élection qu'il renonce à ces avantages, étant donné le contexte particulier de sa désignation.

Candidat aux élections législatives qui suivent, il est réélu député au premier tour, avec 60,29 % des voix. Désirant conserver le « perchoir » de l'Assemblée nationale, il présente à nouveau sa candidature à l'occasion d'une nouvelle « primaire » interne au groupe UMP organisée le  ; avec 99 voix, il est battu par le président sortant du groupe UMP, Bernard Accoyer, qui est élu président de l'Assemblée six jours plus tard.

Ministre chargé des Relations avec le Parlement
Lors de la formation du troisième gouvernement François Fillon, le , il est nommé ministre auprès du Premier ministre, chargé des Relations avec le Parlement. Ce gouvernement est le premier qui, en son sein, comporte deux conjoints, sa compagne Michèle Alliot-Marie étant ministre d'État, ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes.

En février 2011, il est mis en cause, tout comme Michèle Alliot-Marie, par Le Canard enchaîné, pour avoir utilisé le jet d'un homme d'affaires présenté comme proche du président Ben Ali lors d'un voyage en Tunisie alors que la révolte était en cours. En dépit de confidences faites au Journal du dimanche sur un éventuel départ du gouvernement si sa compagne partait, il conserve son poste de ministre, le jour de la démission de Michèle Alliot-Marie. Selon Le Parisien, cette dernière  à l'Élysée.

Retour à la députation
Il est réélu député des Hauts-de-Seine lors des élections législatives de 2012, alors que sa compagne est défaite dans les Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

Lors du congrès en vue de l'élection du président de l'UMP, il dépose, le , avec Roger Karoutchi, Henri Guaino et Michèle Alliot-Marie, une motion gaulliste, « Le Gaullisme, une voie d'avenir pour la France », en vue du vote des militants instaurant des courants internes au sein du parti d'opposition.

En février 2013, dans le cadre de la direction « partagée » entre Jean-François Copé et François Fillon, il devient vice-président de l'UMP au titre des mouvements, lors de la seconde vague de nomination après celle de janvier, en plus du vice-président délégué Luc Chatel, en poste depuis novembre 2012.

Il conduit les élus de droite (à l'opposé de certains élus UMP tels Patrick Devedjian) qui, avec ceux de gauche, votent en faveur de la participation du syndicat d'études Paris Métropole à la mission de préfiguration de la Métropole du Grand Paris, dont Ollier est l'un des candidats possibles à la présidence, une fois acquise la révision de la loi pour donner une personnalité juridique au conseil de territoire.

Le , il est nommé, par le nouveau président de l'UMP Nicolas Sarkozy, délégué général aux relations avec les groupes parlementaires.

Il soutient Nicolas Sarkozy pour le premier tour de la primaire présidentielle des Républicains de 2016. Au second tour, il soutient François Fillon. Depuis, il soutient la candidature de sa compagne et députée européenne Michèle Alliot-Marie, candidate à l'élection présidentielle.

Il décide de ne pas se représenter en 2017.

Métropole du Grand Paris

Le , il est préféré à l'autre candidat de la droite Gilles Carrez pour devenir le premier président de la métropole du Grand Paris (MGP). Patrick Ollier est élu président de la MGP le , en recueillant 192 voix parmi les 209 conseillers métropolitains.

Candidat à sa réélection comme maire de Rueil en vue du scrutin de 2020, il reçoit le soutien de LREM.

Lors du renouvellement du conseil en , il perd face à Vincent Jeanbrun à la primaire de la droite  organisée pour déterminer leur candidat à la présidence. Cependant, après une vive opposition face à Vincent Jeanbrun et une union autour du candidat Philippe Laurent (UDI), le groupe LR propose sa candidature dans un esprit de , à condition que les autres candidats encore en lice se retirent, ce qu'ils acceptent de faire. Patrick Ollier est finalement réélu pour un nouveau mandat à 133 voix sur 137.

Plainte
L'association Anticor porte plainte en mars 2021 contre Patrick Ollier pour « prise illégale d'intérêts » et « détournement de fonds publics ». Des proches du maire de Rueil-Malmaison, dont son fils, pourraient avoir bénéficié de plusieurs opérations immobilières aux dépens de la commune, selon l'association

The treatment outcomes in IgG4-related disease
A F Karim, R D Bansie, S M Rombach, D Paridaens, R M Verdijk, P M van Hagen, J A M Van Laar
Orbita and oculoplastic surgery
INTRODUCTION: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an emerging systemic inflammatory disease involving nearly all organs eventually leading to fibrosis. Prompt and adequate treatment to prevent irreversible organ damage is therefore pivotal. To evaluate the treatment outcomes, we studied a well-defined cohort of patients with IgG4-RD.
METHOD: 32 patients with histologically confirmed IgG4-RD diagnosed between 1999 and April 2017 were included and reviewed for demographic and clinical characteristics. The response to treatment with glucocorticoids, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, rituximab and other therapeutic interventions were evaluated.
RESULTS: Glucocorticoids as well as rituximab appeared successful therapeutic drugs leading to clinical remission (complete or partial remission) in all patients. Recurrences, however, were frequently seen (62% versus 100%, respectively). Diseases modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), including azathioprine, methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil were effective in less than half of the cases. A minority of patients was treated with alternative treatments including hydroxychloroquine, thalidomide and infliximab which all appeared effective. Surgical intervention and radiotherapy in local disease seemed to induce clinical remission and were associated with low recurrence rates.
CONCLUSION: Glucocorticoids and rituximab induce substantial responses as well as primary surgical intervention and radiotherapy, while the efficacy of DMARDs is limited. Based on the few data available, hydroxychloroquine, infliximab and thalidomide may be promising treatment options for second or third line strategies.

South Sudan bishops: Peace deal not working, here's how to fix it
by Catholic News Service

Juba, South Sudan — South Sudan's peace deal is fatally flawed, the country's bishops said as they committed the church to helping forge new negotiations. They also recommended a series of measures to end the conflict.
"We urge all stakeholders and friends of South Sudan to collaborate to seek a new model" for peace, the bishops said in a statement after their Feb. 26-28 meeting in the capital, Juba.
While South Sudan's main warring parties signed a deal in September to end the five-year civil war that killed almost 400,000 people and displaced millions, the situation on the ground shows that it is "not addressing the root causes of the conflicts" in the country, the bishops said.
The level of open conflict has decreased, but "all parties are involved either in active fighting or preparations for war," they said.
Human rights abuses, including murder, rape and looting, continue with impunity, they said.
With only three months left in the pre-transitional phase of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan, most of what should have been achieved has not been done, the bishops said. "This is likely to impact negatively" on the next activities in this and the following phase, they said, noting that all the "omissions and delays are deeply worrying" and "divide-and-rule" tactics seem to be in play.
More than 1.5 million people in South Sudan are on the brink of starvation and more than 6 million people, half the population, face extreme hunger, according to the United Nations.
The economic situation "concerns us greatly," the bishops said, noting that "peace should provide people with their basic needs and services, and this is not happening."
Many people cannot return home because their homes have been destroyed or occupied and people are still fleeing violence, the bishops said. As well as internally displaced people, there are "millions of people still in neighboring countries as refugees."
"Civil servants have not been paid for months, some government officials have not been paid for years, while others, such as members of Parliament, are still being paid" and state resources are being diverted, they said.
"We are concerned that humanitarian access is still being obstructed" in many areas," they said.
"Children are not receiving education as schools have been destroyed or occupied by the army," the bishops said. Also, "parents do not have access to health facilities for childbirth and caring for their children."
They said that, among measures to improve the situation, South Sudan President Salva Kiir "should constructively engage all stakeholders" to ensure that each signatory to the peace deal does what it agreed to do, the bishops said. Parties to the agreement should show the "necessary political will to act against spoilers from within their own ranks."
The state of emergency should be lifted to ensure freedom of speech and other democratic rights, and all political detainees and prisoners of war must be released, they said.
As well as publicizing violations of the peace deal and holding those responsible accountable, the parties should draw lessons from past mistakes and "develop early warning mechanisms to avoid the triggers" that led to the civil war, they said. Appropriate justice mechanisms should be put in place, and the deployment of troops from neighboring countries subjected "to the highest levels of scrutiny."
Church and civil society leaders "should be given a prominent role in national reconciliation" efforts, the bishops said, noting that the Catholic Church would prepare parties for the peace process, reaching out to nonsignatories to the current deal for dialogue in impartial forums.
The bishops said national dialogue must be "genuine and inclusive," with traditional South Sudanese conflict resolution mechanisms and intertribal dialogue practices "used to deepen understanding and contribute to the full implementation of the agreement."
"Academia, researchers, church personnel and other experienced practitioners should be involved to provide recommendations and examples of best practice," they added.
The Catholic Church "will continue to use its preaching, teaching and pastoral networks to create an atmosphere conducive to peace and reconciliation" and also "play its part in the South Sudan Council of Churches' action plan for peace," they said.
South Sudan has 32 states, and the "contentious issue" of the number of states and the boundaries between them "has created divisions within our communities," the bishops said.
The independent commission tasked with determining the number of states and their boundaries must be "responsive to citizens' views," they said, noting that unless people are "properly consulted, this will continue to be a source of conflict."
All these measures, "if properly implemented, will create a conducive political, social and economic environment" for the people of South Sudan "to enjoy the dividends of peace," the bishops said.

Mumbai (Bombay) tours and excursions
Mumbai (Bombay) tours
Slum tours
Following the success of Slumdog Millionaire, there has been a growing interest in exploring some of Mumbai's most deprived areas in a socially conscious way. Reality Tours and Travel lead tours through Dharavi, one of Asia's largest slums and home to over one million people, offering a chance to meet some of its residents, and gain a glimpse into their way of life. Around 80% of the company's profits are ploughed back into social and educational projects in the slum.
Tel: +91 98208 22253.

Bollywood movie tours
Movies are hugely popular in India (second only to cricket), and Mumbai is responsible for the majority of the Hindi-language films made in the country. The centre of the Bollywood movie industry is Film City at Goregaon, where the big film studios are located. The bulk of Bollywood blockbusters involve sugary love stories and action dramas, with awesome choreographed song and dance routines, and you can get a glimpse of the action on a tour with Bollywood Tourism.

Mumbai (Bombay) excursions
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Located just 40km (25 miles) from Mumbai, and almost surrounded by urban sprawl, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a garden oasis, far removed from the chaos of the city. This expansive reserve is home to dozens of species of birds and butterflies, plus leopards and even a few (rarely seen) tigers. Hidden away inside the park are the remarkable Kanheri Caves, a network of 109 caves carved out of the bedrock by Buddhist monks between the 2nd and 9th centuries. Taxis can be chartered at the station to reach the park.

A short boat ride from Mumbai, the UNESCO-listed Elephanta Caves (or more correctly, cave temples) were carved into a rocky outcrop on Elephanta Island between AD450 and 750. Despite damage caused by Portuguese soldiers in the colonial period, the chambers are still covered in spectacular sculptures of Hindu deities, including a monumental three-headed statue depicting Shiva as the creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe. Hour-long boats depart from the Gateway of India every 30 minutes from Tuesday to Sunday 0900-1530. The last departure from Elephanta is at 1700. Tickets can be bought at the Gateway of India.

Just like you, your puppy needs immunisations and regular visits to the doctor to maintain optimal health. Together, you and your veterinarian can provide your puppy with the best care for a long, healthy life. Your veterinarian is the best source of information for your puppy's health, so it is important to follow his or her recommendations to ensure a great start for a long, healthy life.
The sooner you visit the veterinarian, the better. Puppies should be vaccinated at an early age. Your veterinarian will start your puppy on a vaccination schedule and will advise you when boosters are necessary. Make sure your pet gets a regular veterinary checkup every six months or as recommended by your veterinarian.
When you take your puppy to the veterinarian, you should know what to expect. Some of the common diagnostic tests your veterinarian may want to perform include faecal examinations to check for internal parasites and blood tests to check for diseases. During the physical exam, your veterinarian will feel your puppy's abdomen, listen to the chest, check the condition of the coat, look in the ears for infection and ear mites, and inspect the mouth for tartar buildup or gum disease.


If you had to guess who'd be on WWE Now's list of "5 best Superstars on social media in 2018", I'm pretty sure everyone would list a certain Badlass. Whether you're a full-blown Becky Lynch stan or someone who thinks she's overrated, you have to recognize the importance of her use of Twitter and Instagram to her recent rise. The Man is a classic pro wrestling character built in a very modern way.
Part of his current approach to social media is to disappear whenever he's not in the mood for it, but there was a time when sites like Cageside reported every Kevin Owens tweet the way we currently do for Lynch. And when KO reappears these days, it's usually for something spectacular, like getting on stage with Shania Twain even though she forgot the words to his favorite song, or challenging Elton John to a WrestleMania match. It's enough to remind us that he's wrestling's Twitter king… when he feels like it.
Cathy Kelley and her team also shout out "tweet & delete" practictioner Velveteen Dream. WWE actually focuses on his curating of Instagram fan art and steers clear of Dream's more controversial Twitter moments, but I think the latter is why he belongs on this list. It's a tactic that perpetuates "heat" rumors, but as long as you're talking about him… that's all part of the Experience.
Instagram story expert Carmella and former SmackDown General Manager Paige round out WWE's five.
For my own list, I'd probably give those last two spots to Finn Bálor's unique mix of cheesy humor, LGBTQ inclusivity & thirst traps, and Naomi for her creative & on point criticisms of her booking (or lack thereof).
As much as my boss may wish it was otherwise, social media is part of our lives – even as wrestling fans. So give us your top five follows below, and don't use yours to be a jerk to strangers.

'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' review or 'Tetris or a rocket to the moon.'
'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time'
Book by Mark Haddon. Adaptation by Simon Stephens
If you live among theatre doubters, take them to this show. Marianne Elliott's sumptuous production of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' is a brilliant example of just how expressive the stage can be. If only more directors and writers asked this much of the theatre; the West End would be a much richer place.
Writer Simon Stephens and director Elliott have recognised that it isn't the story itself but the way in which the story is told, which defines Haddon's original novel. The plot is solid but it's nothing special. Instead, the master-stroke of Haddon's novel was his first-person narrative and the way in which it allowed us access into the mind of Christopher, a teenager with Asperger Syndrome. It is a curious example of style proving more substantial than substance - a trick which is repeated, to great success, in this restlessly inventive production.
The stage is configured according to Christopher's priorities and thought processes. Finely lined graph paper covers the stage walls and floor. Streams of numbers are projected against the walls at significant moments and, when Christopher is touched (something he hates), the stage explodes with dangerous white light. Every space is delineated with clean straight lines and every object is square, as if the world was one giant game of Tetris.
All the props are abstract, accented only with the elements that Christopher might appreciate. So whilst many of the 'grown up' objects - microwaves or TVs – are represented by blocks, these squares are coloured and lit from within. It is the colour that Christopher cares about, so it is the colour that is emphasized on stage.
Even more revealing, there are no tangible divisions or barriers in Christopher's world. When he walks about the streets, trying to track down the murderer of the neighbour's dog, the houses have no walls. Christopher's world is a without boundaries – or, at least, without divisions that he can easily recognise or understand. No wonder he hides in small spaces. No wonder he gets frightened when people cross those invisible boundaries and touch him.
There is not a jot of Luke Treadaway in Luke Treadaway's performance. It is one of the most consuming performances I have ever seen. Every twitch, moan and flicker of the eyes adds to his interpretation. The stage might help us understand Christopher's mindset but it'd mean nothing without Treadaway's perfectly calibrated performance.
There is an extraordinary moment when Christopher, for all his love of order and systems and equations, opens up about his passion for astrology. Suddenly the stage, which has been so carefully divided up into linear spaces, explodes into chaotic life. The stars that fascinate Christopher are projected onto the stage and out into the audience. His imagination crashes through all those invisible boundaries and connects Christopher with us, the audience, and a world without limits.

Demi Lovato Shares Support for Transgender Rights: 'Trans Rights Are Human Rights'
Jacklyn Krol Updated: May 25, 2020
Getty Images for Teen Vogue
Demi Lovato spoke out publicly over the weekend to promote transgender rights, as well as discuss racism.
The "I Love Me" singer participated in an Instagram Live stream on Saturday (May 23) with her friend Alok Vaid-Menon to promote his new book, Beyond The Gender Binary.
"There's so many differences in the human race, why are we given only two options?" Lovato questioned at the beginning of the conversation.
When the subject of race came up, the pop star mused, "I'm Hispanic, but I'm white-passing, so I was like, what is my responsibility as an ally? I've learned that I have to put my fears aside and speak up for all of the people of color that I love, all of the people of color that I don't know and the people that are being treated poorly and abused and killed. It's now happening way too much."
"I need to put my fears aside," she admitted. "I just didn't want anyone to question my intentions because I am white-passing. I'm going to educate myself and I'm gonna be an ally, and I think people need to do the same with the trans community."
"Trans rights are human rights," she added in a separate Instagram post.
She also called Vaid-Menon's new book a "great resource to learn more about how to support trans and gender non-conforming people."

How to Create a Successful Marketing Strategy Using a Single Decision Framework
Embrace experimentation in your marketing.
By Robbie Abed, Author, writer, and founder of Firemeibegyou.com@robbieab
Marketing is hard. Many times the results are subjective, and it's not clear on what marketing strategy will generate the best results. Because there are so many marketing channels to choose from to market your company's products or services, it becomes difficult to choose just one, so many end up choosing multiple which dilutes the results.
Marketers can choose from email marketing, social media marketing, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Influencers, billboards and partnerships, and I'm sure that's only 10 percent of the available channels. The list goes on and on.
Invest a little in all of them and you'll see no results because you're not focused and invest too much in a single channel that isn't performing, then you're going to run out of money quickly.
For startups, this decision can make or break your company. I've heard plenty of stories where a well-funded startup will put a lot of money into Google Ads, but then never get the traction they needed from the channel, and end up shutting down because they don't have money to try out other marketing approaches.
The question that I always get from other marketers is: Which marketing channel is the best? I used to give out answers right away based on my knowledge of the industry, or sometimes say that it depends on many factors, but both of those answers are insufficient.
The real answer is that successful marketing relies on running multiple experiments on multiple marketing channels to figure out the best performing marketing channel for the business. It's an experimentation and learning framework that I've grown to love.
Start with three guesses and three months.
Every time I take over marketing for a company, I start with the mindset that I know nothing. It's very tempting to start implementing tactics to grow the company's core metrics, but it never ends well. What worked for one company, will not always work for another company, even if the services are identical.
So, instead of jumping in to create a strategy and present the team, I do something else: I introduce an experimentation model where I pick three marketing channels that could meet our core metrics, and I give it three months to run a campaign for each marketing channel to see which one will perform the best.
Who knows what's going to work, but if the team is diligent with testing these ideas, we will have a data-driven approach to marketing instead of just putting all of our eggs into a single basket that we don't even know if it's going to work or not.
I set the expectation that I really don't have an idea of what marketing channel is going to generate us the most revenue. It could be one marketing channel or it could be a combination of three. But, rarely do more than three channels work for generating revenue, leads, etc, and many times its one channel that brings in the dough.
Let's go through an example.
Pretend you're selling pet rocks, and you are now their Director of Marketing. Each pet rock is $2.99 and the rocks have been selling at a good pace but could be improved with more focus. The three channels I think would work the best for selling pet rocks are Influencer Marketing, Google Ads (PPC), and creating organic LinkedIn content.
We would run a three-month marketing campaign with enough budget and time for each, to give them a chance for success. We then track the results closely.
To track these campaigns are fairly simple -- Create a simple spreadsheet that has the name of the experiment, how much money going to invest in the experiment, expected results and actual results. For expected and actual results, my recommendation is to pick a single metric: Examples are revenue, acquired users or traffic to the website. Whichever metric is going to help you grow your business, that's the one you should focus on. You shouldn't identify more than two core metrics for these experiments.
When the campaigns are finished, you should fill out the spreadsheet with the results.
Let's say after running the pet rock campaign experiments, Influencer Marketing brought in 40 sales of pet rocks, while LinkedIn generated 5 and paid ads only generated 1 sale. Influencer marketing worked really well, while the others didn't.
The next step in this process is to stop working on the other two channels and put more energy, and budget into Influencer Marketing. That's the experimentation model in a nutshell.
The key to making this work is that you should always be experimenting. The influencers marketing channel could peak at 100 sales and would require you to explore other channels.
So, the next time you're going to run marketing for your business, try the experimentation model.
